Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie chose a picturesque little world within the Eight Nine Profound Palace, a valley filled with blooming flowers, verdant bamboo, and the songs of birds.

Here, he built houses and courtyards using green jade bamboo, and even constructed a pavilion on the lake in the valley.

Bamboo fences enclosed the bamboo house, forming a small courtyard, and also surrounded several flowerbeds. Within the courtyard were several trees with lush branches and beautiful purplish-blue flowers.

Jun Wuxie prepared the bed in the bamboo house and arranged the dressing table, smiling as he said to Jingya, "Aunt Jing, you'll stay here for this time. I'll go cultivate on the lake, and Lanlan will stay by your side to keep you company."

Jun Wuxie summoned Lanlan and placed the foot-long, fluffy, soft, and adorable little creature into Jingya's arms. Then, he left the courtyard, stepped onto the lake water, and arrived at the small island in the center of the lake.

"The Tyrant Saint Realm, it can be achieved…"

He was now full of confidence, because his soul realm had already reached the required level. With a massive amount of high-grade resources, everything should come naturally, without any obstacles.

At most, it would be a bit more difficult when cultivating the extreme realm, but that would only take more time and wouldn't cause him to be stuck and unable to move forward.

He sat down cross-legged, looking at the calm lake surface, a gentle breeze blowing, ruffling his hair.

His heart became incomparably peaceful, completely emptying himself, abandoning all distractions, and focusing all his attention on devouring and transforming energy and refining the details of the Taiji Eight Trigrams Star Sea.

…

On the same day that he entered the Eight Nine Profound Palace to cultivate, several Saint Ancestor Realm experts from Heavenly Dao Academy arrived in the Azure Province territory, and were shocked to hear about the Great Qian Dynasty.

Azure Province, such a remote place, located on the edge of the Eastern Territory, is extremely lacking in high-quality cultivation resources, making it impossible to support cultivators to reach the Tyrant Saint Realm.

In such a backward area, someone actually unified Azure Province and established a dynasty!

"Not only is there a Saint Spirit Earth Vein of a not low grade, but there's also a teleportation array?"

They saw the surging vitality here, and the city also had a teleportation array, and a large teleportation array at that.

Looking around, using their pupils' power, the Saint Ancestor Realm experts' gazes pierced through the distant sky, seeing that the nearby cities each had a teleportation array, completely interconnected.

"Creating a dynasty in Azure Province and building these teleportation arrays is truly surprising. Let me see who the ruler of this dynasty is."

The Saint Ancestor experts from Heavenly Dao Academy, surprised, became interested and released their powerful divine senses, probing the sea of consciousness information of the people in the city.

Soon, strange expressions appeared on their faces, and they looked at each other, their eyes filled with ambiguous meaning.

"It's actually him!"

These Saint Ancestor Realm experts felt deeply surprised.

"This Jun Wuxie was quite a remarkable figure in the Lower Realm. It is said that at that time, he faintly had the trend of unifying the Lower Realm and becoming the master of a realm. Now that he has come to this Upper Realm, how many years has it been? From being a newcomer with zero foundation, he has unified Azure Province and established a dynasty! If it were you, coming from the Lower Realm, starting cultivation from the Saint Realm, could you have achieved this in a few years?"

"Of course not…" The other experts shook their heads, their expressions somewhat solemn, "This Jun Wuxie's life is legendary, his growth path cannot be replicated by others."

"This person is very dangerous. It is said that in the Lower Realm, even the Child of Destiny followed his lead. If our Heavenly Dao Academy's Child of Destiny confronts him in the future, he must be careful. Although his realm is very low now, this person's luck is too prosperous, surpassing the Child of Destiny, quite abnormal!"

"Heavenly Dao Lord guided us to Azure Province, but Azure Province is vast, and the base number of people is extremely large. How are we to find the reincarnation of Heavenly Dao? We must deliberate, screen and filter the target group, narrow the scope, otherwise it will be like finding a needle in a haystack."

"We must screen and filter. The reincarnation of the previous generation Heavenly Dao should be a female cultivator with a not low realm, and her temperament must be outstanding, so ordinary people can be eliminated. We can set our target on the most outstanding female cultivators who have appeared in Azure Province in recent years."

"Even so, the target group is not small, and there are too many cities in Azure Province. Our Art of Identifying Heaven needs to be within a certain range to be effective."

Several Saint Ancestor experts fell silent. After a moment, one of them said, "Have you ever thought about why the reincarnation of the previous generation Heavenly Dao would appear in Azure Province? That Jun Wuxie is also in Azure Province and established a dynasty. Is this just a coincidence, or is the reincarnation of the previous generation Heavenly Dao actually borrowing Jun Wuxie's luck to conceal her fate trajectory, preventing Heavenly Dao Lord from deducing her location?"

"It seems to make some sense, it's not impossible. Besides, the greatest concealment is in plain sight. If the Heavenly Dao reincarnation wants to hide, she should choose a densely populated city, using the mundane aura of the mortal world to conceal the aura of the Heavenly Dao Fruit. So, we might as well go directly to Qingyun City, the imperial capital of the Dawn Dynasty. Firstly, we can meet that Jun Wuxie and see if we can get useful information from him; secondly, the imperial capital is the most central place in Azure Province, and the target we are looking for may be hiding there."

"That's right, whether she's there or not, let's go to Qingyun City, the imperial capital, first. If we don't gain anything, it's not too late to consider other cities."

"Well, let's go, to the Dawn Imperial Capital and see what kind of person that Jun Wuxie is, the one who turned his hands into clouds and his hands into rain in the Lower Realm!"

…

The figures of several Saint Ancestors from Heavenly Dao Academy flashed and disappeared instantly.

Having cultivated to this realm, their speed was too fast, and they appeared in Qingyun City, the imperial capital, in an instant.

Among them, most were middle-aged and young adults, and two were in the appearance of young boys and girls.

Having restrained their Saint Ancestor pressure and concealed their realm, walking on the bustling and crowded street, they would at most attract a few more glances because of their outstanding temperament.

The pedestrians on the street were endless, most of their gazes lingering on them for a moment, but no one could see that they were remarkable experts.

If the appearance of Saint Ancestors in Azure Province were to spread, not to mention Azure Province, even areas like Hanzhou would be shaken.

Since ancient times, such a place like Azure Province has rarely seen Tyrant Saints, let alone Saint Ancestors.

These experts walked on the street, occasionally chatting with people on the roadside to gather information.

Later, they ran to a restaurant, ordered a table full of wine and dishes, and listened to the conversations of other diners in the restaurant while eating.

They found that many of the diners basically talked about the affairs of the dynasty, the laws of the dynasty, and their satisfaction with their current lives.

The Saint Ancestors of Heavenly Dao Academy could not fail to hear from the people's conversations that they had an extremely strong sense of belonging to the Dawn Dynasty.

During the discussion of these topics, Jun Wuxie was frequently mentioned, and each time he was mentioned, he was respectfully addressed as Lord Jun, and when mentioning the words Lord Jun, everyone's voices were filled with excitement and trembling, their expressions full of reverence.

"If what these people are saying is not exaggerated, then this Jun Wuxie is even more heaven-defying than we imagined."

The Saint Ancestors of Heavenly Dao Academy looked at each other, communicating secretly with their divine senses.

"This person's speed in winning over the people's hearts is too fast. The dynasty has only just been established, and along the way, we haven't heard any voices opposing him. These people in the dynasty are no longer simply supporting his rule, each of them is simply like a devout believer, as if they really regard him as a god."

"He used the simplest and most direct means, which is to devote himself to maintaining a fair and just social environment, while greatly reducing people's living burdens and giving benefits to everyone. This is something that all previous monarchs could not do. The imperial court needs to collect taxes, otherwise it will cause the national treasury to be empty, and with many corrupt officials embezzling from it, secretly increasing taxes, resulting in the continuous increase of the people's living burden."

"Having been suppressed for too long, suddenly encountering such a person, giving them the living environment of their dreams, giving them the dignity they deserve, they will inevitably worship and believe in him."

"Everyone knows how to use this method, but the question is whether it can be sustained? Azure Province has a huge population base, and ruling such a territory requires huge expenses for the dynasty. If taxes are collected less, what will he use to fill the national treasury, and how long can he persist?"

"That's right, this method cannot last long. Also, the laws he has formulated are too strict. If this continues, I am afraid it will cause the officials of various cities to rebel. After all, many of the officials in various cities are the same people as before. How many of these people are clean? Those who can be called incorruptible are estimated to be only one-third, and the rest cannot withstand the thorough investigation of the new laws. In the near future, this Dawn Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos."

"Black and white, right and wrong, right and wrong, sometimes there is no need to distinguish them so absolutely. Human nature is like this, there is no perfect person in the world, let alone a perfect country. Blindly pursuing perfection may lead to the opposite result. This Jun Wuxie is too idealistic and will eventually suffer a big fall."

"Well, these things have nothing to do with us. According to the content of everyone's discussions, this Jun Wuxie has several very outstanding women around him, whether in terms of talent, temperament, or appearance. Now that we have come to this city, let's start investigating from the women around him."

"Have you noticed a very strange point? According to the information we have gathered so far, he was accompanied by an extremely beautiful woman when he came to the Upper Realm, which means it is very likely that she came up with him from the Lower Realm. Judging from her clothing and temperament, I suspect that the woman is Nanli Jingya, the previous generation Saintess of the Demon Race."

"Nanli Jingya is famous in the starry sky. Whether it is her strength or her appearance among her peers, she is famous throughout the starry sky. After coming to the Upper Realm, such a person would actually follow Jun Wuxie and stay in Azure Province, which does not make sense. Azure Province is a remote place, and she cannot break through her realm here, so why is she hiding in Azure Province?"

…

They continued to discuss, analyzing and speculating based on the information they continued to collect, and even suspected that Nanli Jingya might be the reincarnation of Heavenly Dao.

However, after much consideration, I felt this possibility was extremely small.

For hundreds of years, Nanli Jingya had been active in the eyes of the world. If she were the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, she should have been exposed long ago.

Regardless, whether it is true or not, it must be thoroughly verified.

The task assigned by the Heavenly Dao must not have any errors.
