Chapter 1042: Chapter 726: Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor and True Monarch’s Schemes

The Celestial Cyan Wolf Valley is located behind the Cyan Wind Wolf Plain, and the entire Wolf Valley is equally vast, not smaller than a typical small Commandery domain.

Everywhere are lush Spirit Grass, and innumerable cyan-colored Spirit Wolves galloping within.

At this moment, a Three-Eyed Demon Roc flies past.

Causing countless wolf howls to arise.

Moreover, the Cyan Wind Wolf King of the Cyan Wind Wolf Plain steps into the air to confront it in the front.

"Three-Eyes, ahead lies the Wolf Emperor’s sanctuary; retreat now, and you may be forgiven!"

"Qing Feng, this time there is an urgent matter concerning the Earth Dragon Demon King; I hope Brother Qing Feng Wolf will kindly report it!" the Three-Eyed Demon King said.

"That Yellow Lizard?" Qing Feng Demon King was full of disdain.

"It is about to undergo seclusion and breakthrough, if it’s delayed, it might affect the Wolf Emperor’s domain!" Three-Eyes replied.

Upon hearing this, the Cyan Wind Wolf King snorted.

"It dares!"

"If it breaks through to Demon Emperor, it can only invade the Human Race!" Cyan Wind Wolf King proclaimed loudly.

But very soon, it also remembered something; the Demon Emperor of the Taihang Mountain Range had long agreed with the Human Race.

Demon Kings were not allowed to invade; previously, they all displayed Golden Core Battle Power, and since it was just a Beast Tide, there was naturally nothing to say.

But if the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor invades the Human Race, it may incur public fury; after all, this is not a Beast Tide, which recedes after devouring.

At this moment, the Cyan Wind Wolf King finally understood the severity.

"Wait here first!" The Cyan Wind Wolf King headed toward the Celestial Cyan Wolf Valley.

The Three-Eyed Demon King also stayed in place.

Soon, a young Cultivator was seen sitting atop the embodiment of the Cyan Wind Wolf King, flying over.

This young Cultivator seemed no different from a mortal, except his eyebrows were white.

But Three-Eyes knew clearly that the figure before him was the renowned Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor.

The true Beast Emperor of the nearby mountains. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Earth Dragon breakthrough? Where?" The Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor scoffed coldly.

The Three-Eyed Demon King flew down, prostrating to the ground.

"Lord Qing Emperor, the specifics are unknown to this little demon; Earth Dragon is inherently suspicious, especially in the outer area of the Taihang Mountain Range, being the most cunning; it certainly wouldn’t inform this little demon of its breakthrough location!"

"But I’ve discovered that this Earth Dragon Demon King has clearly sided with the Human Race, as I spotted humans in the Earth Dragon Valley!"

"Moreover, I even suspect that this Earth Dragon Demon King is attempting to break through at Lingyun Peak; when the Silver Moon launched a Beast Tide, the Earth Dragon’s Earth Lizard barely moved, its intention was to frame the Silver Moon Race!" Three-Eyes spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor’s brow furrowed.

His white spirit brows were extremely intimidating.

"Lead this Emperor to the Earth Dragon Valley to investigate; if this Earth Dragon Demon King has indeed sided with the Human Race, this Emperor will not spare him!" The Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor commanded coldly, instructing Three-Eyes to lead the way.

The two beasts swiftly flew toward the Earth Dragon Valley, accompanied by Qing Feng Demon King.

The rising Azure Wind enveloped the Three Beasts, their speed astonishingly fast!

...

Celestial Capital Commandery, Celestial Capital Mountain Range.

This is the mountain gate of the Tian Dao Sect, the entire mountain gate towering nine zhang high, with a five-foot Copper Ring Saber suspended atop the mountain gate.

All who enter the mountain gate must either enter the Saber Gate or have their head hung beneath the Copper Saber.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly approached, then cast a Spirit Talisman that flew into the skies.

The figure was none other than the Patriarch of the Xiao Family from Celestial Arrival Commandery, Xiao Shao’an.

Beside him was the flying puppet avatar of Ye Jingcheng.

The Xiao Family had now established preliminary contacts with the Ye Family, and after Ye Jingcheng elucidated the potential ambitions of the Qinghe Sect, Xiao Shao’an followed Ye Jingcheng day and night to rush here.

After all, Celestial Arrival Commandery borders the Qinghe Four Commanderies; if Qinghe Sect initiates action, the first to be affected would be his Xiao Family.

"Elder Ye, with my strength, I can only contact one of the two Vice Sect Leaders, Vice Sect Leader Wang Xuan."

"Patriarch Xiao has worked hard; the name of True Master Wang Xuan, who in the Yan Kingdom is unaware?" Ye Jingcheng clasped his hands continuously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shao’an breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he found some oddness in Ye Jingcheng, Ye Jingcheng’s aura was evidently that of Golden Core.

Even if there were oddities, in his eyes, Ye was an elder, naturally treading as if on thin ice, not daring to act rashly.

Soon, a blade light appeared before the mountain gate, revealing a middle-aged Daoist robed cultivator flying with an Imperial Saber, landing in an instant.

Ye Jingcheng’s heart was also shocked for a while; after all, Sword Flight was common, but Saber Flight was rare.

Moreover, blade-type Magical Artifacts are focused on vicious killing, with Saber Flight being somewhat more difficult than Sword Flight.

Yet the middle-aged cultivator before them appeared effortlessly adept.

"You two, Vice Sect Leader Wang invites you!" the middle-aged man announced.

"I appreciate Senior Brother Wang’s help!" Xiao Shao’an also cupped his hands.

The three quickly flew to the First Peak of Celestial Blade Nine Peaks.

The Tian Dao Sect is different from the Qinghe Sect and the Taiyi Sect; it is divided into nine peaks, each renowned for a unique sword technique.

"Ahead is the True Master Hall of the Vice Sect Leader Wang, and he specifically instructed that only you two should go!" The guide cultivator stopped before reaching the hall.

He also used an array banner to open the way for the two.

"Elder Ye, I shall not proceed further!" Seeing the situation, Xiao Shao’an also halted.

He understood that some matters are better left unknown.

Ye Jingcheng sought him only to bring him to the Tian Dao Sect without alarming others.

Ye Jingcheng was undeterred and walked straight toward the hall.

Soon, he saw a cultivator with a scarred face waiting at the entrance.

"The artifact spirit of Daoist Tianfu is indeed ingenious!" The scarred cultivator sensed briefly and then spoke.

Ye Jingcheng’s rapid cultivation advancement made him skeptical, thinking, like True Master San Yuan and Master Miaofa, that Master Tianfu had possessed him.

Possession exists in the Cultivation Realm, but the chances of failure are high; without sharing a cultivation technique, success is difficult, though not rare to recover cultivation after success.

However, post-possession progress is hard to achieve, which makes life-extension possession uncommon.

"Vice Sect Leader Wang, I’m here as instructed by Senior Brother Zi Ming to inform you that the Qinghe Sect, Cyan Spirit Trading Association, and Bai Family might slander the Ye Family in Taihang Commandery. Please monitor this, as I fear they might forcibly alter memories to defame the Ye Family!"

"In times like this, the first to suffer might be your sect, as you know of the power of the Profound River Infinite Sword Array, which was once the climax sword array in the Sword Desolate!" Ye Jingcheng continued.

"Indeed, I will certainly discuss this with Junior Martial Uncle Zhang!"

"Just not sure if the Ye Family’s magical artifacts and spirit talismans can also aid the Tian Dao Sect..." Vice Sect Leader Wang further spoke.

"That is certainly possible!" Ye Jingcheng readily promised.

"The price can even be 70% of the market rate, and the transaction can continue with the Xiao Family. What do you think, Vice Sect Leader Wang?"

"Daoist Tianfu is generous!" Vice Sect Leader Wang directly responded.

Ye Jingcheng soon departed.

After Ye Jingcheng left, an old man emerged from inside.

The old man appeared strong and vigorous, his eyes even more full of spirit.

"Junior Martial Uncle Zhang, how do you view the Ye Family and Master Tianfu of the Taiyi Sect? Could it be a crisis?" Wang Xuan bowed and asked.

"Zi Ming is not one to set traps, at least not now; he understands that the loss of one affects the other!" Tian Dao True Monarch replied.

"However, this Ye Jingcheng, whether he is Master Tianfu, truly puzzles me; he might indeed be from the Beast Desolate Wasteland!" Tian Dao True Monarch murmured at this moment.

"Junior Martial Uncle, shall we..." Wang Xuan’s eyes immediately brightened.

"Don’t think about it. If the Ye Family is of the Beast Desolate, you’ve seen the situation at the East Sea. The Ye Family at least possesses a Nascent Soul combat power; if we expose them, not only will we fail to obtain that spirit treasure, we might also be accused as accomplices by the Qinghe Sect, and potentially silenced by the Immortal Sect. How do you think the Eight Desolates Sect was destroyed back then?"

"The Immortal Sect, indeed if we cannot surrender the treasures from the Earth Immortal Realm for them, our existence in the Eastern Domain would have long vanished!"

"Even in the Earth Immortal Realm, the grotto heaven is useless, all treasures hidden are either exchanged or surrendered; otherwise, how could the Immortal Sect be so powerful? Consider the countless treasures in the Earth Immortal Realm, and rumors say it borders the Upper Realm!" Tian Dao True Monarch’s eyes were filled with resentment yet helplessness.

"I will visit, and continue to seek the Longevity Spirit Fruit even more determinedly; or else, the Tian Dao Sect... Alas!" Tian Dao True Monarch spoke, finally sighing long.

"Uncle Master, it’s the incompetence of us disciples!" Wang Xuan repeatedly bowed.

The Tian Dao Sect indeed possesses two treasures for breaking through to Nascent Soul, but both attempts failed.

Currently, the Tian Dao Sect is in a more perilous situation than the Taiyi Sect.

After all, a great sect without Nascent Soul cultivators is only a target for other forces to annex, without any other choice.

Furthermore, obtaining Longevity Elixir in the market is extremely difficult since it is usable by any cultivator, whether loose or clan cultivators would never sell it.

Moreover, the effectiveness of the same Longevity Elixir greatly reduces with a second ingestion.

Tian Dao True Monarch once used the Life-Burning Secret Technique when young, and even with later ingestion of some Longevity Elixir, he is approaching his lifespan limit.

...

In the Chu Kingdom, within a great mountain, atop a smaller spiritual ship, three people stood side by side.

True Monarch Beihai, True Monarch Qingling, and True Monarch Baiyu were present, all gazing at Taihang Commandery with peculiar intent.

"Qingling Daoist, Baiyu Daoist, this Beast Desolate must be the Ye Family, or else we will certainly be coerced by the Four Sects of Qilu, possibly affecting the fate of our three families!"

"Thus, the Ye Family must be Beast Desolate even if they are not!"

"I possess a secret treasure, although it cannot decipher the Soul Ban, it can capture some soul shadows and modify moments, then the blame can be placed on the Taiyi Sect and Beast Desolate; I shall claim two commanderies from the Taiyi Three Commanderies, leaving Taichang Commandery for your two families to divide, how does that sound?" True Monarch Beihai continued.

"The actions of Beast Desolate are too insidious, Qingling naturally follows Beihai Daoist’s lead!" True Monarch Qingling replied.

"Baiyu as well!" True Monarch Baiyu nodded, though he transmitted to True Monarch Qingling.

"If Beast Desolate returns to the Ye Family, the remaining Nine Curves Ginseng Root must be given to me!"

True Monarch Qingling also nodded in response.

The spiritual ship transformed into a long rainbow again, shooting into the distance!
