Chapter 398: 72 Divine Caves, Ancient Forbidden Land
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In a bright palace, Martial Lord Dugu Duo sat at the head of the table with a gloomy expression. Three light mirrors floated in front of him, reflecting three figures. All of them were shadows and did not reveal their true forms.
Dugu Duo gritted his teeth and asked, “Lu Shenzhou and Dugu Wangtian have committed such a crime, and we are giving up just like that?”
Back then, when Lu Shenzhou returned from his defeat in the war with the Dao
Ancestor, he suspected that it was related to him. Therefore, he detained Lu Shenzhou. However, he did not expect that Lu Shenzhou would dare to cause trouble in his main city. Not only Lu Shenzhou, but Dugu Wangtian was also there. When he heard about this while on a mission, he was so angry that he almost had an inner demon.
“The Divine Martial Realm is in turmoil, and the struggle for power above has affected the 3000 worlds. The more this is the case, the more we have to rope in more forces. In any case, Lu Shenzhou has the closest relationship with us. He was nurtured by us after tens of thousands of years of hard work. How can we give him up just like that?”
“Moreover, Dugu Wangtian is a prodigy of your Dugu Clan. You have to protect him.”
The black shadow in the middle spoke with an indifferent tone. His words made Dugu Duo’s heart turn cold and he felt extremely aggrieved.
Even though he was a Martial Lord and was stronger than Lu Shenzhou and Dugu Wangtian, he was not as valuable as Lu Shenzhou and Dugu Wangtian in their eyes. It was because they were more talented than him and their upper limit would be higher in the future.
He felt that it was unfair. He had sacrificed so much for the Divine Martial Realm, but why were they only looking at talent?
Furthermore, Lu Shenzhou was suspected of betrayal!
“Lu Shenzhou has promised that he would apologize to you the next time he comes back. Let’s forget about this.”
A voice came from the mirror on the left, and his words and tone directly implied that a conclusion had been settled. He was basically forcing Dugu Jiao to restrain his emotions.
Duzu Duo asked, “Whv is Lu Shenzhou going there?”
“We don’t know. Let him be. He was defeated by the Dao Ancestor and suffered a setback. Perhaps he is pursuing stronger strength.”
These words made Dugu Duo even more uncomfortable.
The black shadow in the mirror on the left said, “Alright, let’s put aside the matter of Lu Shenzhou and Dugu Wangtian for the time being. Recently, there has been news from the Luck Dynasties that they have encountered someone from the Heavenly Court at some borders. I’ll leave this matter to you. You must resolve the Heavenly Court and find the hiding place of the Dao Ancestor.”
Dugu Duo nodded and asked, “Do you have any information about the Dao Ancestor?”
The black shadow in the middle answered, “No. If you are no match for them, think of a way to bring back the information.”
Dugu Duo frowned.
It had been so long, but the intelligence network of the Divine Martial Realm had yet to gather any information about the Dao Ancestor. If that was really the case, he did not want to participate in such a battle.
“The ancient sects are causing trouble, the Divine Martial Realm is in internal strife, and the Blood Realm is restless. Right now, the Divine Martial Realm is in a terrible state and is powerless to care about the Heavenly Court.” Hearing such an answer, Dugu Duo still felt awkward.
But in the face of these three black shadows, he did not dare to refute.
Dugu Duo took a deep breath and asked, “What forces can I mobilize to deal with the Dao Ancestor?”
“The 72 Divine Caves will help you.”
“What? When did the 72 Divine Caves listen to us?”
Dugu Duo asked in shock and excitement. He asked in a trembling voice, “Could it be that you and the Grand Supreme Elder have…”
“That’s right. From now on, we will assist the Supreme Kunlun. You must remember your status.”
“Alright!”
Dugu Duo responded. The gloominess from before was swept away and his eyes recovered their vigor.
The three black shadows gave some more instructions before the three mirrors dimmed.
Dugu Duo waved his hand and sent the three mirrors to a row of wooden shelves in the corner of the hall before he stood up.
“With the 72 Divine Caves helping me, I’d like to see what else the Dao Ancestor can do.”
Dugu Duo’s lips curled up as he went out of the hall.
In the vast starry sky, a huge silver ship was moving forward. From afar, it looked like a huge silver whale was moving forward, and the airflow behind it was like a group of dragons. It was a spectacular sight.
The sky ship of the Divine Martial Realm!
At this moment, Lu Shenzhou and Li Canghai were standing in a pavilion looking at the magnificent starry sky from afar.
“Just rely on a single Heavenly Primordial Spirit Embryo? Why don’t we ask the Divine Martial Realm for help?” Li Canghai frowned and asked. He did not understand Lu Shenzhou’s actions.
Lu Shenzhou looked into the distance and said, “The Divine Martial Realm is currently in a power struggle, and the 3000 worlds have also started a conflict of interest because of this. The Divine Martial Realm has too many things to worry about, and they have no time to help us. Besides, the Heavenly Primordial Spirit Embryo possesses the power of the Dao Ancestor. As long as the Dao Ancestor is restrained, the Heavenly Court will not be my opponent.”
Li Canghai was skeptical. He had no choice. He was not related to the Divine Martial Realm. In fact, he could not even explain why the Dao Ancestor had spared his life and could only follow Lu Shenzhou.
Lu Shenzhou asked, “Have you mastered the ultimate technique I gave you?”
Li Canghai shook his head and said, “I can only say I have barely mastered it. A hundred years is not enough to truly master it. At the very least, I cannot completely control this ultimate technique before I face the Dao Ancestor.”
“There’s no hurry. Continue to train. You don’t have to do anything to deal with the Dao Ancestor,” Lu Shenzhou replied in a calm tone.contemporary romance
Li Canghai wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to take revenge on the Dao Ancestor, but he was not qualified to express his determination.
“We are not far from leaving the Xuanhuang Great World. We will encounter many troubles once we enter the Endless Void.”
Lu Shenzhou said unhurriedly with anticipation in his eyes.
Dao Ancestor, don’t disappoint me!
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Immortal Gods gathered.
Celestial Emperor Jiang Ziyu sat on the dragon throne and listened to the reports of the Immortal Gods. Unlike the mortal world, the court meetings of the Heavenly Court were held once every ten years and all the reports were about important matters.
Yang Zheng stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the Myriad Worlds Gate is entering more and more worlds. Because of this, the Heavenly Court has been exposed to the Xuanhuang Great World. If this continues, the Heavenly Court will definitely be targeted by the Divine Martial Realm.”
Hearing this, the Immortal Gods discussed it fervently. They were also worried about this matter, but they had already tasted the benefits of the Myriad Worlds Gate and were unwilling to give up.
Jiang Ziyu calmly said, “There’s no need to worry. I have a spy in the Xuanhuang Great World. The Divine Martial Realm is currently in a state of internal strife and cannot control the Heavenly Court. Not to mention the
Heavenly Court, they can’t even eradicate the ancient sects are wreaking havoc in the Xuanhuang Great World.”
Yang Zheng raised his eyebrows and was somewhat surprised. However, when he thought of the Mental Wander Realm, he immediately understood. Evidently, he did not expect that the Dao Ancestor’s believers had already covered the Xuanhuang Great World.
Di Chang stood up and said, “Your Majesty, my Heavenly Generals have discovered an ancient forbidden area. According to the nearby guardians, this restricted area is extremely dangerous. Countless experts have fallen here, but there might also be the inheritance of a peerless expert hidden there. At present, no other forces have discovered it. Do you want to send someone to explore it?”
Jiang Ziyu did not say anything and fell into deep thought.
Di Chang’s hidden meaning was that some troops might have to be sacrificed in the exploration. Therefore, he had to be cautious about this matter. The
Heavenly Court had spent a lot of resources and time nurturing these troops.
Lin Haotian suddenly stood up and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, why don’t you let me go? I have the combat experience of an ancient Martial Emperor. Even Taishi Changce and the experts of the Chang Clan might not be as experienced as me. Moreover, my luck is excellent. I can always turn misfortune into fortune.
Over the years, he, Jiang Jian, and Ping’an had encountered many dangers, but they had always survived. Moreover, they had obtained quite a few opportunities. Right now, he was filled with confidence and high spirits.
Jiang Ziyu looked at Jiang Jian.
Jiang Jian immediately said, “Let the three of us go.”
Jiang Ziyu nodded. Jiang Jian was his family. Sending his family to participate in such a dangerous mission could also unite the hearts of the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court.
After that, some Star Lords and Heavenly Gods also began to report things, mostly about the human world.
There were many calamities in the human world. Tens of thousands of races fought against each other, and there were even incidents of mortals destroying temples of Immortal Gods.
Even though the Heavenly Court was powerful, not all beings trusted it. There were also many beings who hated the Heavenly Court and blamed the inaction of the Heavenly Court for their misfortune.
After a long time.
Jiang Ziyu dispersed the court while Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian left with Di Chang. They could not wait to explore the ancient forbidden land.
On the other side.
33 Layered Heavens, Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng had woken up from his cultivation state. He was currently refining pills. It had been 33 years since he detected Lu Shenzhou’s arrival. That sky ship had left the Xuanhuang Great World and entered the Endless Void.
Jiang Changsheng was already prepared to fight. He wanted to see how magical the Heavenly Primordial Spirit Embryo and the Heavenly Law Stone were.
This time, Lu Shenzhou had personally come, so Jiang Changsheng would not let him off.
They would either belong to the Heavenly Court or die.
“Master, what immortal pill are you refining?” Bai Qi asked curiously.
Jiang Changsheng answered, “It is called the Transformation Pill. It can transform non-human creatures into the form of their innate Dao body.”
Among cultivators, humans had the so-called innate Dao body, which was the most suitable physique for cultivation. However, as generations passed on, humans only retained the form of the innate Dao body, and their talent was not as good as before. However, once humans trained in martial arts, their speed of breakthrough was incomparable to most races.
“Then can I get one too?” Bai Qi widened his eyes and asked excitedly.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Of course.”
Bai Qi grinned and began to laugh foolishly.
Jiang Changsheng’s face twitched when he heard her inner thoughts, but he did not say anything.
Even though Bai Qi was a cheapskate, she had helped him maintain many relationships. In the Heavenly Court, she was already Jiang Changsheng’s representative. Many descendants and old friends would seek her help when they encountered trouble.
Jiang Changsheng could now relax. It was all thanks to Jiang Ziyu, Chen Li, Mu Lingluo, and Bai Qi that he could cultivate without interruption.
Seeing that Jiang Changsheng was in a good mood, Bai Qi began to talk to him.
The man and the demon chatted about the past.
Every time Jiang Changsheng ended his seclusion, he would feel that things had greatly changed. Therefore, he was in a good mood to be able to tell others about this. It allowed him to have a deeper understanding of Dao Technique.
Everything was the Dao, and comprehending life was also the Dao.
Several months later.
Jiang Changsheng had produced the first batch of Transformation Pills. There were a total of 49 of them, and they contained the opportunity of the Heavenly Dao.
Bai Qi was the first to consume one and transformed into a graceful and charming woman. She had the same appearance as many years ago when she roamed the world, but her temperament was now more charming. For some reason, Jiang Changsheng thought of Daji. “Master, am I beautiful?”
Bai Qi winked and asked in a sweet voice.
Jiang Changsheng said expressionlessly, “Put on your clothes, and I’ll hand these medicinal pills to you.”
“Hmm? Since you don’t want it…
“I want it!”
Bai Qi immediately waved her hand and condensed the white fur on the ground into a robe with her demonic power. Then, she knelt before Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng handed her the rest of the Transformation Pills and kicked her out of the Purple Cloud Palace..
