Chapter 205: Chapter 182: The Ancients Awaken One After Another!

In front of the plaza of the Sect Leader’s Hall on Dao Yi Mountain.

A group of Dao Yi Mountain Disciples looked at the devastated White Jade Plaza in shambles, their faces showing profound heartache. The buildings on their Dao Yi Mountain were truly ill-fated. In just a few short years, there had already been several consecutive invasions. After each great battle, Dao Yi Mountain would lose a massive sum of wealth rebuilding and repairing the halls.

Gu Xuanong watched the sighing Dao Yi Mountain Disciples before turning his head to look back. That lofty "Immortal" Yang Mogu was now nothing more than a corpse. Over a dozen Dao Yi Mountain Disciples were working together to carry him away. The body of this Broken Voider was as hard as refined steel ore and incredibly heavy. It took over a dozen people to transport it, likely heading toward the "Vajra Hall" that Chen Sha had mentioned.

Gu Xuanong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, approached Chen Sha, and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Sect Leader Chen, for saving my life."

At this moment, standing before Chen Sha, this Emperor of Yuan Country no longer referred to himself with the royal "We." He truly realized that in this world, absolute strength was the greatest status. Facing Chen Sha, a Daoist Sect Master and the number one expert in the world, his title as Emperor genuinely meant nothing.

The young Sect Leader gently waved his hand, lifting Gu Xuanong back to his feet with an invisible force, and said, "There is no need for such formalities."

Gu Xuanong looked at the ruins and rubble scattered across the ground and immediately stated his position. "Please rest assured, Sect Leader Chen. Yuan Country will take full responsibility for the repairs of your esteemed sect’s halls. As soon as I descend the mountain and return to my country, I will order my men to deliver a hundred thousand taels of gold and silver, along with two chests of pearls, to show my meager appreciation."

Chen Sha’s heart stirred. This was indeed a substantial sum of wealth, so naturally, he did not refuse. "Then I will gladly accept Emperor Yuan’s kindness."

Gu Xuanong bowed again. "A nation cannot survive a day without its ruler. I have been held captive by that man for two days now. I fear a great upheaval may have occurred in the royal court of Yuan Country. Therefore, I dare not linger here. I must return immediately to ease the hearts of the people. I beg Sect Leader Chen’s understanding."

"Emperor Yuan possesses a noble status and bears the heavy responsibility of a nation’s people," Chen Sha replied at once. "It is only right that you return immediately." He then called out, "Teng Zijing, your speed is exceptional. See Emperor Yuan off on his journey."

Teng Zijing nodded. "Understood."

Gu Xuanong was overjoyed. If he had to return to his country alone, who knew how long it would take? With Teng Zijing’s help, he would arrive in no time. "Thank you, Sect Leader Chen!"

Chen Sha nodded. He watched as Teng Zijing grabbed Emperor Yuan and flew into the sky. However, the Emperor did not receive the same treatment as Chen Sha. Clearly, although Teng Zijing agreed to escort Gu Xuanong back, not just anyone could ride on his back. Even if he hadn’t been subjugated by Chen Sha, he was still the seventh strongest expert in the world. Gu Xuanong certainly did not qualify to stand on his back.

Watching Teng Zijing and Gu Xuanong leave, Chen Sha looked at the disciples cleaning up the debris and sighed. "Time waits for no one." He originally thought that by becoming number one in the world, the Dao Yi Sect would be able to develop peacefully for a period of time. He hadn’t expected the revival of Heaven and Earth Rules to begin anew, with ancient powerhouses popping up one after another in this once-familiar Divine Land Martial Arts world.

He thought to himself, "The road ahead is long and arduous. I still need to continue growing stronger."

Looking into the distance, he analyzed the situation in his mind, "Since a Nine Tribulations Ancient like Yang Mogu has already appeared in this world, he is definitely not the only one to awaken. The group of people who achieved Ascension at the Broken Level during the Nine Tribulations Period will surely emerge closely after him.

"Hopefully, once news of today’s events spreads, it will deter these Broken Voiders for a while so they won’t all rush over here to die so soon. Otherwise, I’ll be annoyed to death."

At this current stage, the Heaven and Earth Rules had not yet recovered enough to accommodate the Broken Great Vajra realm. According to the timeline provided by the Southern Heavenly Gate, it would take at least two hundred days for the First Heaven behind the Southern Heavenly Gate to fully descend into the mortal realm. This meant that the strongest experts in the First Heaven—those at the Broken Great Vajra Perfection—would not appear for at least another two hundred days.

Although this time window wasn’t particularly long, for Chen Sha, who had access to the time-stopping Cosmic Light Fragments behind the Southern Heavenly Gate, it was an incredibly precious period for cultivation. He would boost his strength as much as possible during this timeframe.

Conveniently, he now had a concept derived from the Yellow Heaven Dao Technique. He could focus on Cultivating Heart into God by tracing the postures and Divine Will of past Broken Great Vajra powerhouses, such as Zhang Gong, to forge the Six Ding and Six Jia Gods for himself.

He calculated in his mind, "The benchmark for these gods must at least match Zhang Gong’s level. They have to be at Broken Great Vajra Perfection to qualify. I don’t know if Zhang Daoxuan has reached it, but Sister Taie definitely has...

"In Ancestor Master Chen Fuyao’s deduction of the Six Ding and Six Jia Gods, there is a relevant direction: ’The Six Ding, such as Dingmao, are Yin Spirit Jade Maidens. The Six Jia, such as Jiazi, are Yang Spirit Jade Boys.’ This means the Six Ding represent Jade Maidens, and the Six Jia represent Jade Boys."

The Six Jia Tai Sui were six male gods, while the Six Ding Tai Sui were six female gods. The ancients often used the phrase "bearing Six Jia" to describe a pregnancy with the hope of giving birth to a boy. Therefore, Sister Taie was absolutely a suitable subject to trace and personify as one of the Six Ding Gods.

Chen Sha did not relax after the great battle. Instead, he returned to the lake in the back mountain. This time, he selected Sister Taie’s final trial...

Two days later.

While Chen Sha continued his cultivation on Dao Yi Mountain, back in Yuan Country, the generals, the Prime Minister, and the Divine Strategy King had all been preparing to push Crown Prince Gu Changsheng to ascend the throne. After all, Yang Mogu’s strength truly stood at the pinnacle of the world.
