Supreme Uprising

Chapter 1149 The Nine-Sky Yuan Map

He was breaking off the marriage agreement!

Luo Yunyang wasn’t any less shocked than Huangyue upon hearing the news. In his opinion, his father had no reason to back out of this marriage.

War Empress Lingfeng might not be the number one beauty in the Vast Sky Realm, but she had definitely been in the top ten back in her heyday.

In terms of cultivation base, she was the only one who had become a War Empress out of her generation of beauties.

It could be said that she was a combination of beauty and strength with a status way more powerful than the number one beauty of the past.

She and his father seemed so compatible that it was startling. Not only were they gifted geniuses, but they were like the sun and moon that illuminated everything around them.

He’s not breaking off this arrangement because of me, right?

Huangyue, who had been thinking of getting even with Luo Yunyang, now backed off quietly. She wasn’t afraid of Luo Yunyang, but this matter was no longer something she could handle so she would be taking a temporary leave first.

After Huangyue left, the others dispersed as well. Luo Yunyang pondered what had happened as he contacted Luo Dong’er.

“Big Bro, have you heard? Father broke off the wedding arrangement. How assertive!” The chattering Luo Dong’er seemed to have transformed into a young lady that loved gossip.

“Tsk tsk… An old fogey from the Luo Family said that this was supposed to combine the strength of the two clans. He said something when it was decided by the family patriarch. Father didn’t have to understand it. All he needed to do was follow the patriarch’s decree!”

Luo Dong’er enthused. “Father said imperiously that whoever decided on the marriage could marry her instead. Ha ha ha!”

Luo Yunyang smiled as well. The main reason he had entered this unknown world was to find his mother, sister, and son.

He had never imagined that his father would actually be such a domineering individual.

Even though he had also been rather dazzling back in the Human Race, he still paled in comparison to his father.

“Big Bro, do you think that father declined the marriage because of mother?” Luo Dong’er asked cautiously before immediately rejecting the idea. “Even though I really hope this is the case, I think that the possibility is extremely tiny.”

Luo Yunyang was speechless for a moment. Would their mother teach her a proper lesson if she heard this?

However, Luo Yunyang agreed with Dong’er’s view deep down.

Luo Jiutian’s marital status wouldn’t really influence Luo Yunyang that much. He continued following his plan while preparing to condense his own Dao Energy.

In the Vast Sky Sacred Realm, Dao Energy was like a martialist’s foundation: It could link up with heaven and earth.

Since Luo Yunyang intended to use the Vast Sky Sacred Realm to become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, then he would need to condense Dao Energy.

However, even though he intended to condense Dao Energy, it wasn’t something that could be done overnight.

As Luo Yunyang followed his plans and started to condense his own Dao Energy, he slowly realized that his status in the Taixu Sect had started to change.

Even though the things he managed hadn’t experienced many changes, the attitude some people had toward him had changed.

For example, Yuan Venerate Qingli, who had brought him to the Taixu Sect, hadn’t called on him for quite some time. In the past, Yuan Venerate Qingli used to check in on him every fortnight even if Luo Yunyang hadn’t made any improvements.

Also, some inner sect disciples that Luo Yunyang didn’t like had started to swagger and strut in front of him.

“Junior Brother Luo!” A man with a grim face walked over to Luo Yunyang casually. “In three days, the Nine-Sky Yuan Realm will open. You must head to the Sky Sacred Place earlier. Don’t be late.”

Luo Yunyang had seen this man once. He was core disciple Hei Yunzi, who was in charge of internal law and order within the sect. Many Taixu Sect disciples were extremely fearful of him.

Even inner sect disciples would feel their hearts shudder when they saw him. Naturally, Luo Yunyang didn’t fear this core disciple. However, after being in the sect for so many days, he had also heard quite a bit about the Nine-Sky Yuan Realm Opening.

It was said that the Nine-Sky Yuan Map was actually an ultimate treasure given by the Sacred Venerate to the Taixu Sect’s ancestral master. This ultimate treasure didn’t just contain powerful might. It was also a self-formed realm.

It was extremely abstruse within and contained countless treasures.

Every core disciple of the Taixu Sect would have an opportunity to comprehend the Nine-Sky Yuan Map. As for whether they could obtain treasures from it, that would depend on their fortune.

For example, Yuan Venerate Qingli’s strongest treasure, the Green Cloud Sky Flag, had been obtained by the Nine-Sky Yuan Map.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Hei Yunzi.” Luo Yunyang thanked Hei Yunzi in earnest for the information.

Hei Yunzi eyed Luo Yunyang, wanting to speak. However, in the end, he just shook his head and left. Although Hen Yunzi didn’t say anything, Luo Yunyang already understood his intent. He wanted to tell Luo Yunyang to just give up on this opportunity.

Or rather, he didn’t want Luo Yunyang to waste such a good opportunity. Instead, he should give it to someone who was more suitable.

But how could Luo Yunyang give up such a good opportunity to someone else when he intended to find out the secrets of the Vast Sky Sacred Realm as well as the Sacred Venerate?

As for what others said, Luo Yunyang never cared about it.

In these three days, others had hovered around Luo Yunyang, wishing to negotiate an exchange. However, they ultimately didn’t speak when they saw him.

Half a day before the Nine-Sky Yuan Realm was about to open, Luo Yunyang had already arrived at the Sky Sacred Palace. The Sky Sacred Palace didn’t look too tall, but its ancient and simple walls that were adorned with array inscriptions would awe most people who laid eyes on it.

Luo Yunyang had arrived half a day before, but he still wasn’t the earliest to arrive. When he reached the Sky Sacred Palace, there were already seven or eight people waiting there.

Out of these people, Luo Yunyang only recognized one person: the proud Huangyue. Although Huangyue seemed unfriendly, there were still a handful of men around her.

The lowest cultivation base amongst these men was the peak ninth-level Heavenly Venerate.

Ever since Luo Jiutian had broken off the marriage agreement, Huangyue had no longer appeared before Luo Yunyang. Now, upon seeing him, her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold glint.

Perhaps due to some unknown apprehension, Huangyue glared coldly at Luo Yunyang but didn’t speak.

However, even though she didn’t speak, this didn’t mean that others were forgiving. A man in golden robes with a pair of golden wings said icily, “Even if a crow joined a flock of phoenixes, it would never change the fact that it is a crow!”

“Some people clearly lack ability, yet they rely on their elders to come mix with us.”

Even though this person hadn’t mentioned any names, everyone who heard this could tell what he meant.

Huangyue didn’t speak, but she shot a glance at this golden-winged man, indicating her approval of these words.

The golden-winged man’s spirits soared as he asked Luo Yunyang delightedly, “Brother Luo, don’t you think so?”

While most people in this realm looked similar to the Human Race, Luo Yunyang couldn’t call them Humans. After all, there were still some differences between them and the Human Race.

Take this golden-winged man for example. While his appearance didn’t seem too different from a Human’s, the golden wings meant that he possessed the bloodline of a natural divine roc.

“Yes, Brother Jin, you are right. I totally agree with what Senior Brother Jin says. Some golden sparrows only dream about eating the flesh of phoenixes.”

“Why not take a proper look at oneself and see whether one has a pair of golden wings to match a phoenix?”

Even though Luo Yunyang knew shooting his mouth off wouldn’t be of much use, he belonged to the second generation of a War Emperor and people would assume he was easily bullied if he backed off so easily!

The face of that golden-winged man darkened. He had just been unceremoniously exposed by Luo Yunyang and had even been called a bird that overestimated its abilities. This was too much.

Everyone present basically knew his designs on Huangyue, so nobody knew what to say.

Being disgraced in front of the girl he loved was unbearable. However, right now, he didn’t dare make a move either.

“Luo Yunyang, your good days are coming to an end. Slowly enjoy your last few happy days. In time, let’s see if you’ll still be able to smile without a backer,” the golden-winged man said, sounding completely bitter. However, upon hearing his words, Luo Yunyang sensed that this wasn’t retaliation. It seemed as if he knew something.

Could his father have encountered some kind of problem?

As Luo Yunyang had this thought, a bell chime was heard!

Then, an ordinary-looking old man stepped forth. This man seemed as though he had fused with the world yet also as if he no longer existed.

“Upon entering the Sky Sacred Palace this time, each of you will have one opportunity. Whether you will obtain a treasure from the Nine-Sky Yuan Map will depend on our destiny. It will be due to your own fate if you are unable to obtain anything. Therefore, you must give it your all. There won’t be another chance like this in the future.”

After he said that, he eyed Luo Yunyang and said, “Of course, if anyone wishes to give up their spot, they may do so!”
