Chapter 2540: Chapter 2540: The Mystery of the Kunpeng’s Disappearance

"How’s it going, did you find anything?" Dao Ji curiously asked from the side, seeing Su Yang remain silent.

Su Yang shook his head, looking helpless: "I haven’t discovered anything. There’s too little information, I just saw a huge city crashing down, then everything went black in front of me, nothing else."

Dao Ji seemed a bit disappointed, shaking his head helplessly: "I saw the same thing as you. The information left behind by the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor is really scarce. If we could figure out what this city is all about, maybe we could trace the reason behind their mysterious disappearance!"

Su Yang nodded slowly without saying much. In fact, he already had a vague idea, but he couldn’t share it with Dao Ji.

The two chatted casually for a while. Although Su Yang was eager to learn about his mother’s past, he didn’t dare inquire too much.

Su Yang wasn’t sure of Dao Ji’s true nature and dared not reveal his own identity. Asking too many questions might arouse Dao Ji’s suspicion.

Of course, Su Yang primarily talked with Dao Ji about the upcoming battle with the Guardian God.

According to Dao Ji, this time when he personally takes action, the last Main God of the Guardian God will definitely get involved too. Since he is considered an Earth-level Powerhouse, his direct involvement amounts to breaking the rules, prompting the final Main God to also step in to counter Dao Ji.

Although Dao Ji is joining the battle, he won’t impact the outcome much. His opponent is that Main God. They have sparred many times, and their powers are nearly equal, making it tough to decide a winner.

Thus, the ultimate outcome of this battle still hinges on Su Yang’s Heavenly War Alliance and the Demon Beast Clan’s coalition.

Of course, the Tao Sect will also be part of this great battle. However, the Tao Sect’s strength is similar to that of the Heavenly War Alliance, so its participation would not significantly impact the battle.

This news left Su Yang feeling somewhat hopeless again. If this is truly the case, then the Human Clan has no hope left this time.

"Su Alliance Leader, this is the current situation," Dao Ji whispered. "If that Main God acts personally, this battle will ultimately decide the fate of the Human Clan and the Demon Beast Clan. Therefore, we must prepare thoroughly for this fight. We have no retreat!"

Su Yang nodded slowly, feeling heavy-hearted. If this battle unfolds as Dao Ji described, then the Human Clan and the Demon Beast Clan would indeed face great peril.

Still, Su Yang couldn’t fully comprehend Dao Ji’s mindset. Why would he willingly help the Human Clan against the Guardian God? Doesn’t he understand the consequences?

In fact, Su Yang couldn’t figure out Dao Ji as a person. If he’s truly untrustworthy, why help the Human Clan? If he’s trustworthy, then why did Su Yang’s mother feign her death to deceive him?

There are too many secrets here, and Su Yang dared not ask Dao Ji, keeping them bottled up inside.

After sharing these things, Dao Ji sent someone to escort Su Yang to rest. As for Dao Ji himself, he went out to summon the Weard Tao Sect’s people, preparing for the upcoming confrontation with the Guardian God.

Su Yang’s side, both the Human Clan and the Demon Beast Clan, was settled properly. Dao Ji’s personal involvement greatly boosted their morale, making them feel joyous, unaware of the many underlying issues.

Su Yang also refrained from briefing the crowd about Dao Ji’s situation, not wanting to upset them. His forces had already faced a collapse of morale, and Dao Ji’s appearance indeed helped stabilize it. Without this event, his forces might have already crumbled, and wouldn’t have come this far. Hence, stabilizing the morale was the most crucial matter now!

Regarding the fight against the Guardian God, Su Yang couldn’t help but think of the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor.

From the previous image, he actually found some clues, though he chose not to display them in front of Dao Ji.

Returning to his room, Su Yang closed his eyes, reminiscing about the previous scene.

At the scene’s finale, a cauldron collided with the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor, then the image went dark. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

However, the cauldron’s speed was incredibly fast, and the Great Saint Emperor’s focus was certainly elsewhere. Hence, everything about the cauldron remained elusive, only vaguely seen as a cauldron. As for its specifics, no one knew.

Yet, as Su Yang sat down, slowly recalling the scene and cauldron, he surprisingly found that the more he pondered upon it, the clearer the image became.

In the end, Su Yang could even distinctly identify every structure within the city.

At that moment, Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, surprised to realize that the city’s architecture was identical to that of the Feather Spirit Palace!

Could it be that the disappearance of the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor is related to the Feather Spirit Palace?

Feather Spirit Palace? A cauldron?

Su Yang was startled in his mind, closing his eyes again to think deeply. Gradually, the cauldron’s appearance became clearer.

"World Melting Furnace!?" Su Yang exclaimed internally, for he finally saw the cauldron clearly—it was indeed the World Melting Furnace!

The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor’s disappearance was because he collided with the Feather Spirit Palace and subsequently got hit by the World Melting Furnace?

But what exactly is going on here? Why were the Feather Spirit Palace and World Melting Furnace flying within the Endless Starry Sky? These items should be within the Nine Realms, shouldn’t they?

Thinking of this, Su Yang suddenly recalled something.

According to the records of the Nine Realms, they were initially one—an intact Small World. But tens of thousands of years ago, something fell onto the Nine Realms from Outer Heaven, shattering them into nine Small Worlds. Concurrently, within the Nine Realms, three deadly realms were formed, namely Storm Valley, Feather Spirit Palace, and Demon Abyss!

So, things like Feather Spirit Palace and World Melting Furnace didn’t originally belong to the Nine Realms; they descended from Outer Heaven tens of thousands of years ago.

It connected with the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor’s mysterious disappearance amid the Endless Starry Sky, encountering Feather Spirit Palace and World Melting Furnace.

Su Yang envisioned a scenario—might it be that Feather Spirit Palace, World Melting Furnace, and Demon Abyss were en route to the Nine Realms? The Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor sensed their power and exited to investigate, only to accidentally collide, resulting in their mysterious disappearance? Finally, Feather Spirit Palace and World Melting Furnace landed on the Nine Realms; could the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor also be within them?
