Chapter 206: Chapter 182: The Ancients Awaken One After Another!

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan had been sent back. Soon, the entire Yuan Country court learned that the so-called "Immortal" Yang Mogu had actually been slain at the Dao Yi Sect by the number one person in the world.

Divine Strategy King Gu Xuanhong said in disbelief, "Sect Leader Chen can actually slay someone of that realm!"

Sitting on the throne, Gu Xuanong was filled with both reverence and lingering fear. "Sect Leader Chen’s realm has already achieved Mastery of Creation, exploring the boundaries of heaven and man. We truly shouldn’t treat him as an ordinary person. Looking at it now, his ability to defeat Yuan Ruhua in the South Sea to claim the title of number one in the world shows that the gap between him and Yuan Ruhua wasn’t just in martial strength, but in the superiority of their realms."

As soon as he spoke, voices of agreement filled the hall.

"Originally, we were still wondering. Yuan Ruhua’s Half-step Distance was rumored to be miraculous. It was said that even the once-invincible Chen Canxuan couldn’t gain an advantage in that domain, yet she was defeated by Sect Leader Chen.

"It turns out Sect Leader Chen has long surpassed his father!

"If that’s the case, it’s not surprising at all that he could slay that ’Immortal’."

Gu Xuanong remembered what he had promised and quickly reminded the Prime Minister, "Right, thanks to the Dao Yi Sect saving my life this time, I have decided to show my gratitude. Prime Minister, prepare a generous gift and have it sent to Dao Yi Mountain today."

Prime Minister Chen Wuji immediately nodded in agreement. "Rest assured, Your Majesty. Leave this matter to me."

However, the officials noticed that even after surviving such a disaster, Gu Xuanong still didn’t seem happy.

The Divine Strategy King asked in confusion, "Why does Your Majesty still have such a heavy expression?"

Sitting on the dragon throne, Gu Xuanong gazed out at the Divine Land beyond the Imperial Palace and said, "Shouldn’t I feel heavy-hearted? Just one Yang Mogu emerging from the Upper Divine Temple in my Yuan Country Imperial Palace nearly caused our nation to fall apart. According to statistics from various factions across the world, such Divine Temples are now appearing in all Three Kingdoms of the World, various sects, every city, and even commoners’ homes. There are already no fewer than a hundred that have been counted.

"Our Yuan Country is definitely not the only place where such terrifying figures will awaken. Clearly, this world is about to usher in an unimaginable era. Amidst these shifting winds and clouds, how will our Yuan Country position itself..."

Hearing these words, the crowd fell silent, feeling a sense of powerlessness and sorrow.

Setting aside the worries of the ruler and his ministers in Yuan Country, Emperor Gu Xuanong had returned barely a few days after being taken away by the Broken Immortal Yang Mogu. He personally announced that the Broken Immortal had been slain on Dao Yi Mountain by the number one person in the world. As this news rippled through the Martial Arts world, it shocked far more than just the various Martial Arts Sects.

At the Queen Mother Sect.

Bi Yunxiao and Chang Xi, who had received the news almost at the same time, looked at the contents of the letter with both surprise and joy.

"Chen Sha can actually slay that Immortal!"

Chang Xi was just about to rejoice for Dao Yi Mountain and Chen Sha. At this moment, a thunderous BOOM suddenly echoed from the back of Queen Mother Mountain. Immediately after, the loud shouts of several female disciples rang out.

"This is bad, Sect Leader! That temple on the back mountain... just like the rumors from the Primordial Palace, it dropped out of thin air..."

"The person here is going to awaken too?" Bi Yunxiao’s expression shifted in shock.

This meant that the Queen Mother Sect was also going to have a Broken Level figure like Yang Mogu appear. Furthermore, their disposition—whether good or evil—was completely unknown. That was the most fatal part.

However, Yang Mogu’s emergence was merely a beginning.

It wasn’t just the Divine Temple at the Queen Mother Sect that solidified, dropped down, and had a living Broken Voider step out of it. The same thing was happening elsewhere.

In the following ten or so days, reports continuously poured in from all over the world about temples falling from the sky and living people walking out of clay statues.

Someone in the high mountains saw two people walk out of an earthen temple and engage in a fierce battle, causing landslides and earth-shattering destruction around the Fengming Mountain Range.

Someone in the desert discovered a blood-robed monk stepping out of a temple.

A farmer found a scholar walking out of the earthen temple next door.

Someone in a canyon saw a peerless woman in white, her feet hovering above the ground like a spirit.

Someone in a canyon saw...

Among the various famous mountains and great rivers, living people had walked out of nearly thirty percent of the discovered temples.

It was even rumored that two temples had appeared on the surface of the South Sea, where the former number one in the world, Yuan Ruhua, resided. Living people walked out of them, and one of them even sought out Yuan Ruhua.

However, it seemed no great battle occurred.

In short, the locations where those Ascenders from the Ninth Tribulation Period had ascended were now the coordinates of their return, even though some might have ascended in their own secluded caves or their own sects.

But with the passage of time and the changing of the world, a whole tribulation era had passed. Everything between heaven and earth had long changed. Even the former number one mountain in the world could have sunk into the ocean.

Therefore, it was not surprising that some people’s former ascension points had turned into barren deserts, the plot next to a farmer’s house, or even deep underground.

Among the various miraculous return coordinates, perhaps only the mountain gates of today’s Major Sects—which had been famous mountains, Blessed Lands, and Grotto Heavens back in the Ninth Tribulation Period—remained unchanged.

Just as the Ascender on Queen Mother Mountain awakened within the Daoist Sect.

Meanwhile, at Jade Emperor Mountain, which was also one of the Four Great Daoist Sects but had been suppressed by Chen Sha to the point of being unable to raise its head for nearly a century...

On Jade Emperor Peak, inside the Celestial Master Hall.

Celestial Master Lin, who had taken over as Sect Leader Celestial Master, acted like a junior. He led a group of Jade Emperor Mountain disciples, looking at the middle-aged Daoist in front of them with utmost respect and enthusiasm.

The middle-aged Daoist had a square, upright face. Looking at the Daoists practicing the Jade Emperor Tower in front of him, he did not attack the people of Jade Emperor Mountain like Yang Mogu had. Instead, he sighed, "I didn’t expect that the Jade Emperor Tower created by Elder Daoxuan of our Hidden Cultivation Lineage would actually have a legacy in the Tenth Tribulation."

Celestial Master Lin immediately led the disciples in prostration. "So our sect’s Jade Emperor Tower was actually inherited from a past sage! Then our Jade Emperor Mountain is the successor to your lineage. This is truly our greatest honor."

After hearing about the events in Yuan Country, Celestial Master Lin had originally been deeply worried about the consequences of such a temple appearing in their own home.

He didn’t expect that they would be so lucky. The person who appeared before them was actually the very sage who had left behind the Jade Emperor Tower on Jade Emperor Mountain back then.

This was his Ascension Land. Before ascending, he had buried that volume of the Jade Emperor Tower here. Their first generation Celestial Master, Zhang Changling, had founded the Jade Emperor Mountain orthodoxy precisely because he had obtained the Jade Emperor Tower here. In other words, this person walking out of the temple was actually their Ancestral Master!

The middle-aged Daoist named Yul Fu smiled. "I can only be considered someone who passed down Master Daoxuan’s Jade Emperor Tower. You must know that the true Ancestral Master for those of us who cultivate the Jade Emperor Tower is Master Zhang Daoxuan. However, I can indeed be considered an Ancestral Master-level figure for your lineage."

Overjoyed, Celestial Master Lin immediately bowed down again, kowtowing to his Ancestral Master.

Radiating the transcendent air of an immortal, Yul Fu smiled and asked confidently, "Back then, Master Daoxuan spread the Jade Emperor Tower at Qilin Cliff so that future generations could cultivate normally even in an environment of worldly decay. Since you cultivate the Jade Emperor Tower, I assume our lineage is a major branch of the Daoist Sect in today’s world, right?"
