Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Once, there was a Great Emperor who attained enlightenment in the Realm of Primordial Chaos. He walked out of Primordial Chaos and ultimately stepped into the Half-Step Heavenly Emperor Realm.

But the times were merciless, and the torrents of the apocalypse were too cruel, eventually burying him.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If such a talented and brilliant person hadn't encountered the apocalyptic torrent, with his comprehension and talent, he could have become one of the top figures even among the Heavenly Emperors.

In the future, he might even have been able to see through the end of the Heavenly Emperor's path, open up a new road, achieve transcendence, and enter the Realm of No Dao.

It's such a pity.

From this, it seems that the Lord of the Immortal Palace is the inheritor of the Mountain and River Sword Immortal.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he is a disciple accepted by the Mountain and River Sword Immortal. It's more likely that he encountered the inheritance left by the Mountain and River Sword Immortal by chance and gained its recognition.

Otherwise, the cultivation methods and scriptures of a Half-Step Heavenly Emperor could not have appeared in this place.

Then, what kind of role does the mastermind behind the scenes play in all of this?

One generation passes on to the next.

He is most likely the inheritor of the Lord of the Immortal Palace, having gained the recognition of the Lord of the Immortal Palace.

Which is equivalent to obtaining the inheritance of the Mountain and River Sword Immortal.

It's just unknown whether the mastermind behind the scenes has obtained the recognition of the ancient stele.

After all, if he had fully obtained the recognition of the ancient stele,

Then, he should be able to move these ancient steles.

The disciples of the various Dao lineages would not have seen the Emperor's Scripture here.

Of course, there may be other special reasons.

In short, this is just a speculation based on the current understanding of the situation, and the truth cannot be determined.

Based on the current situation, the disciples of the various Dao lineages will stay here for a long time.

After all, comprehending the Dao rhythm of the Emperor's Scripture is a great opportunity.

Jun Wuxie knew that the disciples of the various Dao lineages would stay for a while, but he didn't choose to venture deeper alone.

Venturing deeper alone might make it difficult to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, this is the Immortal Palace, the home ground of the mastermind behind the scenes.

If he doesn't deliberately guide or open up certain spaces, it's almost impossible to find him.

Only by following the disciples of the various Dao lineages can he smoothly meet that mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, he released his Primordial Avatar.

The Primordial Avatar concealed itself with the Minor Void Art, while he himself entered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace, preparing to take advantage of this time to cultivate.

Of the nine top-grade Immortal Pills he refined last time, he only used six due to time constraints, leaving three remaining.

While he cultivates in the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace, he has to pay attention to the situation outside.

That is precisely the role of the Primordial Avatar.

Once the disciples of the various Dao lineages leave, he can know through the Primordial Avatar.

This time, upon entering the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace, he directly appeared in the mountain valley courtyard where Gong Jiuqing lived.

Gong Jiuqing and Nan Zhi were watering flowers, chatting and laughing.

Xiao Nanchong, on the other hand, didn't know where he had gone to play.

Sensing a familiar aura, Nan Zhi and Gong Jiuqing suddenly turned around and saw Jun Wuxie standing in the middle of the courtyard, with a smile on his face.

Gong Jiuqing dropped what she was holding and rushed over in three steps.

"Why did you come?"

"I came in to cultivate and also to see you."

"Brother, you really don't know how to talk in front of women.

You should say you came in to see us, and then cultivate, switch the primary and secondary relationship, and Jiuqing would definitely feel as sweet as honey."

"That's right, you don't even know how to say something nice to coax me.

Even if I know you're just saying it to make me happy, I'd still be willing."

Gong Jiuqing's beautiful eyes held a hint of resentment.

"Sister Nan Zhi, are you so experienced?"

Jun Wuxie joked with a smile, sitting down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Sister's experience is not rich at all. She has never had a loved one, never been in a relationship, so where does this experience come from?

It's just that sister is a woman, so she naturally understands a woman's little thoughts.

Jiuqing's reaction proves that sister is right.

You, ah, are just too straightforward."

"Haha, Sister Nan Zhi, I can't agree with that.

Jiuqing and I are not in an ordinary romantic relationship. We are husband and wife, so there's no need to use lies as sweet words.

Jiuqing, you agree, right?"

A hint of a resentful beauty appeared in Gong Jiuqing's beautiful eyes, "Yes, whatever my husband says is right."

"Hmm? Why do I feel like you're being sarcastic?"

"Is that so? I wouldn't dare. You are my husband, you are my sky. I'm just a little woman, I wouldn't dare to provoke my husband's authority."

Gong Jiuqing pouted, her words sounding somewhat resentful no matter how one listened.

"By the way, why did brother suddenly come in to cultivate?"

Nan Zhi interjected, changing the topic.

"I was originally in the Immortal Palace in the Land of Forgotten, just because…"

Jun Wuxie told them everything about going to the Land of Forgotten, then to the Immortal Palace, and the mastermind behind the scenes luring the disciples of the various Dao lineages.

"It's actually the Land of Forgotten!

Wasn't that place always sealed?

I didn't expect the top forces of Yu Province to actually open the seal?

You must know that the experts of the various Dao lineages paid a considerable price to seal it up back then."

"The seal should have weakened a lot over time, and later the experts of the various Dao lineages went in to investigate.

They most likely reached some agreements with the creatures of the underground alien space world, or rather, formed some kind of tacit understanding.

It's just that they don't understand what the creatures of the underground alien space world mean."

"Listening to brother's words, you seem to know those creatures very well?"

Nan Zhi's face was full of surprise.

"I can't say I know them very well, but I know their ambitions.

Many of those creatures are members of the Ghost Witch Clan, and the Ghost Witch Clan has great ambitions, with the desire to devour the entire Realm of Primordial Chaos.

And that's just one of their goals.

I have seen the methods of the Ghost Witch Clan in other places and have seen many things related to the Ghost Witch Clan."

"I see. Brother just said that someone is setting up a scheme in the Land of Forgotten, luring the disciples of the various Dao lineages to the Immortal Palace.

You are currently in the Immortal Palace, isn't it very dangerous?"

"Sister Nan Zhi, don't worry, he won't be in any danger."

"That's right, with brother's abilities, that person shouldn't be able to do anything to him.

In that case, the person setting up the scheme is likely to be from one of the four major Dao lineages.

What exactly is his purpose in doing this? It's really intriguing."

"Originally, I hadn't guessed his purpose either.

But since entering the Immortal Palace and seeing those corpses, I think I've roughly guessed what he wants to do."

"Is brother referring to the matter of the person setting up the scheme devouring the Stellar Sea Immortal Power within the corpses?

Could it be that brother means that the person setting up the scheme is gathering the disciples of the various forces together in order to devour them?

Who in this world dares to cultivate like this, defying the heavens, and will be stained with great karma, inevitably suffering backlash in the future!

No normal person would choose this path.

Unless it is someone who cultivates special evil methods, who can avoid karma backlash, otherwise it is no different from digging one's own grave."

"In any case, with me here, he won't be able to succeed.

Such a person, using such unscrupulous means, if he succeeds and his strength improves, the threat will be even greater.

He naturally can't pose a threat to me, but I'm just afraid that this kind of person will threaten the people around me in the future."

"Yes, once this kind of person succeeds, he will only become more and more crazy, going further and further down this path.

It's hard to say how many more people will be harmed by him in the future, and what kind of people will suffer his poison.

Since that's the case, brother, you should hurry up and cultivate."

Jun Wuxie nodded, then looked at Nan Zhi with a smile, "Sister Nan Zhi, aren't you going to ask about the Emperor's Scripture?"

Nan Zhi gently shook her head, "Although the Emperor's Scripture is good, and makes sister yearn for it, if brother doesn't actively mention it, sister will never ask about it."

"Yes, although the Emperor's Scripture is good, it's not necessarily suitable for everyone.

Sister Nan Zhi's bloodline is extremely strong, and the inheritance method will be unsealed with your realm in the future, and it's no weaker than the Emperor's Scripture.

Moreover, the inheritance method is the most suitable method for you, because it is tailored for your bloodline.

Other Emperor's methods can only be used for reference, but not now, it needs to wait until Sister Nan Zhi proves the Dao and becomes an Emperor.

When that day comes, I believe Sister Nan Zhi will have a better opportunity than referring to the Emperor's method.

By the way, about the matter of taking a position in the Jinyun Immortal Sect, after I leave the Land of Forgotten this time and return to the sect, I will arrange it for you."

"No need, I'll just stay here with Jiuqing.

If I leave, she will be alone and lonely, and I will also be lonely.

After all, there is no one I know in the outside world anymore.

If there is a chance, I can go out and take a look, but most of the time, sister still wants to stay here and accompany Jiuqing."

"Alright, since Sister Nan Zhi wants to stay here, that's the best, so Jiuqing won't be so bored."

Jun Wuxie couldn't wish for more.

Gong Jiuqing's state is relatively special, and she cannot leave the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace, otherwise it will cause great harm to her.

And he himself doesn't have much time to come in and accompany her.

With Nan Zhi here to accompany Jiuqing, it just solves this problem.

… …

Jun Wuxie didn't stay here for too long, about an hour or so, he left.

He went to cultivate.

After constructing the Time Rune Array, he entered a state of cultivation.

The three top-grade Immortal Pills were incorporated into the Cave Heaven, and the Natal Star began to rotate, devouring the Immortal Pill's medicinal energy while devouring Dark Energy, simultaneously cultivating the Chaos Golden Star Sea and the Ink-Colored Star Sea, in order to maintain the balance of the Taiji Bagua Star Sea.

Time passed day by day.

Jun Wuxie devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, without calculating how many days had passed.

Within the Time Rune Array, it was completely submerged by the Chaos Golden Radiance, unable to see his figure.

The vast momentum inside constantly echoed, and even outside the rune array, it could be faintly heard.

… …

Immortal Palace, on the bank of the Great River, around the ancient green stone steles.

The disciples of the various Dao lineages were still in a state of enlightenment.

Each of them was flowing with a rich immortal power, making the area near the ancient Qing stone stele glow with immortal light. Various colors of immortal light reflected in the void, glittering and colorful.

Especially the true disciples of the four great Dao lineages.

Sword Qi had already emerged around their bodies.

This was naturally formed during their enlightenment process.

They had already comprehended some superficial aspects of the Mountain and River Sword Intent from the Mountain and River Emperor Scripture.

Although it didn't count as an entry, and was even far from it, it was still considered very excellent.

After all, it was an Emperor-level sword intent.

To have such an achievement in such a short period, their comprehension could be said to be quite astonishing.

None of the inner disciples had condensed sword Qi.

It wasn't that their comprehension was inferior to the true disciples.

Among them, there were also people with super potential and comprehension, who would definitely become true disciples in the future.

It's just that they were limited by their realm, making comprehension relatively more difficult.

… …

As time passed, day after day.

The sword Qi condensed around the true disciples of the four great Dao lineages became stronger and stronger, and the aura of power that激荡ed out also became stronger and stronger.

But at this point, there was no change at all.

For many days in a row, the sword intent激荡ing the aura of the sword Dao still hadn't improved in the slightest.

A very small number of inner disciples also condensed a vague sword Qi around their bodies.

But like the direct disciples, their sword Qi could only reach this point, and could no longer be improved.

In the end, the disciples of each Dao lineage withdrew from the state of enlightenment one after another.

"The Emperor's rhyme is unfathomable, and we can only comprehend these. Continuing to stay will only waste time."

"Have you remembered this Emperor Scripture?"

A disciple asked everyone.

As a result, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they could not remember the contents of the Emperor Scripture.

They clearly remembered it fluently, but the content about the words of the Emperor Scripture in their minds disappeared for no reason.

"It seems that only the inheritor can obtain this Emperor Scripture.

Obviously, we are not inheritors, and we cannot obtain the recognition of the Emperor Scripture. We can only comprehend the Dao rhyme, but cannot cultivate this method."

"It's a pity, an Emperor Scripture, if we could obtain the inheritance of the Emperor Scripture…"

Lei Huang sighed, feeling somewhat unwilling in his heart.

After all, this was a peerless opportunity, and it was right in front of him, but he couldn't get it.

However, even if he didn't get the Emperor Scripture, he still had a rich harvest.

Comprehending the sword intent of the Emperor Scripture made the sword Qi they condensed much stronger than before.

And also, their views and understanding of Dao were much deeper than before.

"Let's go, we have already delayed a lot of time here, we should seize the time to continue to go deeper."

The true disciples of each Dao lineage said.

Here, there is the field suppression of the ancient Qing stone stele, and the curse in the body is very quiet, and even actively falls silent.

Therefore, they don't need to consume energy to suppress it.

It's just that it's impossible to stay near the ancient Qing stone stele forever.

The curse in the body still has to be resolved.

Explore this immortal palace as soon as possible so that we can get out and solve the curse as soon as possible.

… …

At this time, Jun Wuxie, who was cultivating in the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, understood the situation through the Primal Avatar and also withdrew from cultivation.

The time spent cultivating in the Time Talisman Array this time was not short, refining the last three top-grade immortal pills.

His realm finally broke through from the peak of the Fourth Heaven of Legend to the middle stage of the Fifth Heaven.

He was originally tempering his body in the Weapon Tomb of the Eternal God Palace, and before he had finished tempering, the people of each Dao lineage began to advance towards the depths.

He had no choice but to stop, put away the Primal Avatar, and quietly followed behind.

Continue up along the big river.

After walking for an unknown distance, I saw another Qing stone stele.

That Qing stone stele was also filled with Emperor rhyme.

"Are we back to the original position?"

The disciples were all surprised.

"No."

Lei Huang carefully looked at it, and finally fixed his eyes on the ancient stele.

"Although the surrounding environment looks extremely similar and difficult to distinguish, there are differences in the scriptures on the ancient stele.

The previous ancient stele should not have recorded the complete chapter of the Emperor Scripture. The content of the Emperor Scripture on this ancient stele is obviously different."

"So that's how it is. In this way, we can once again enlighten under the rhyme of the Emperor Scripture!"

"You can't comprehend it. The Emperor rhyme here is more profound, and it has reached the point where we can't comprehend it, let alone you.

The scriptures recorded here should be the advanced chapter of the Emperor Scripture.

What we saw before was the introductory chapter.

The Emperor's Dao rhyme here is not something that people of our level can comprehend at all."

"This… isn't this a waste of opportunity…"

Many people were unwilling, and immediately tried it, but as a result, they couldn't even enter the state of enlightenment by borrowing the Emperor rhyme.

Under the influence of the Emperor rhyme here, it was even more difficult to enter the state of enlightenment than usual.

"It really doesn't work…"

Everyone was extremely disappointed. What was in front of them was the Emperor Scripture, but they could only watch it helplessly.

There is nothing more painful and helpless than this.
