Chapter 722: Yellow Heaven Ancestor Emperor

Fang Xuan took a deep breath, trying hard to clear his mind of distractions. He looked at the lingering golden streams in the distance and said, “Alright, let’s stop talking. Carefully sense the power of the Hunyuan Dao Emperor—this is the chance that senior has left us.”

As soon as he spoke, the other five immediately fell silent and began to carefully attune themselves to their surroundings. Soon, they all became excited.

“This really is the fortune of a Hunyuan Dao Emperor, such vast fortune...”

“That senior was also a Hunyuan Dao Emperor?”

“Obviously. Did you forget? Second Brother came to the Path of the Grand Dao on that senior’s orders. He’s meant to follow in his footsteps.”

“Maybe that senior deliberately showed us the power of a Hunyuan Dao Emperor, to give us stronger determination.”

“That’s probably it. One day, I’ll have the same presence as that senior.”

The five cultivators didn’t say much more and soon immersed themselves in deep comprehension.

Meanwhile—

The Blood Prison Saint had already returned to the Wushi Dao Field. After wandering for so many years, being back again, he felt a strange sense that things were no longer the same.

The speed at which they returned from the Path of the Grand Dao was just too fast. It felt like he had only blinked, and he was already eternally separated from his sworn brothers. Even though he had achieved the realm of a Hunyuan Dao Emperor and had the strength to crush those at his level, he still couldn’t imagine how his master had brought him and Sin across such an immense distance in the blink of an eye.

“Master, what was that man’s realm?” Sin asked curiously, walking alongside Gu An.

The battle had ended so quickly, he hadn’t seen the details clearly, leaving him full of questions.

“Measuring the Heavens Golden Immortal Realm,” Gu An replied, glancing at his attribute panel.

The over one thousand major cultivators of the Yellow Heaven ascendants had provided him with nearly four trillion years of lifespan, more than tens of thousands of years of accumulation.

At that moment, the Yellow Heaven ascendants were already in turmoil. All those cultivators had their fortune tied within the Yellow Heaven. If they fell, no matter where, the Yellow Heaven would sense it—let alone the fact that the true body of the Unresentful Immortal Emperor had died within the Yellow Heaven itself.

“Measuring the Heavens Golden Immortal Realm...” Sin softly repeated, memorizing the name of this realm. He had never heard of it before, which meant that no one else in the Dao Field besides his master had reached that level.

The Blood Prison Saint came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and followed closely behind Gu An and Sin, his heart now filled with excitement.

He had fulfilled his task perfectly and was now looking forward to sparring with An Xin.

This time, he was sure he could win!

As Gu An responded to Sin’s questions, he also sent a voice transmission to the other Wushi disciples, telling them to prepare to listen to the Blood Prison Saint’s lecture.

An Xin was only one step away from becoming a Hunyuan Dao Emperor, and the others were still on their way to catching up. The Blood Prison Saint’s teachings would surely enlighten them.

...

In a vast land covered in yellow sand, towering mountains stood like pillars of the world. Atop one of the most majestic peaks was a grand palace, shrouded in a mighty golden rain.

Inside the palace, figures sat cross-legged on stone thrones, yellow sand swirling around them. They were neatly aligned, too many to count at a glance, each one exuding an extraordinary aura.

At the forefront sat an elder, ten thousand zhang tall, draped in a loose Dao robe. His right hand formed a seal at his chest, white hair flowing, and behind his head floated three radiant suns, their light filling the hall.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely heavy. The cultivators of the Yellow Heaven ascendants were secretly exchanging voice transmissions.

“The Unresentful Immortal Emperor is dead, cursed by some powerful force of karma. His true body was here in the Yellow Heaven, but his clone led people to the Path of the Grand Dao. I want someone to explain this.”

The robed elder spoke slowly, his tone cold.

He was the master of the Yellow Heaven ascendants, the Yellow Heaven Ancestor Emperor.

As soon as he spoke, someone immediately stood up and said, “Ancestor Emperor, it was I who sent my disciple to investigate the Hunyuan Dao Emperor. I told him to act cautiously, but I didn’t expect him to be careless and offend a supreme being. If this matter brings trouble to the Yellow Heaven, I am willing to take responsibility.”

As soon as his voice fell, many others also stood up, stating that they too knew about this matter. They all believed that the Hunyuan Dao Emperor might change the structure of the Grand Dao, so they supported the Unresentful Immortal Emperor in investigating the Hunyuan Dao Emperor.

The Yellow Heaven Ancestor Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, “Hunyuan Dao Emperor? How does he compare to the Grand Dao Sovereign?”

As he spoke, he began to deduce the Hunyuan Dao Emperor. He was shocked to find that the Hunyuan Dao Emperor’s fortune had already spread across the Path of the Grand Dao, and in some great worlds, his fortune was also taking root.

Just sensing this fortune, he could feel that its potential was no less than that of the Grand Dao Sovereign.

The Unresentful Immortal Emperor’s master began explaining his understanding of the Hunyuan Dao Emperor, and others added their insights. They mentioned many names, all powerful beings pursuing the Hunyuan Dao Emperor, the most representative being the Profound Mystery Emperor.

The Profound Mystery Emperor’s name as a peerless genius was renowned along the Path of the Grand Dao. He had shifted allegiance from the Grand Dao Sovereign to the Hunyuan Dao Emperor, causing a huge impact.

After a while—

Once the hall had quieted down, the Yellow Heaven Ancestor Emperor slowly spoke, “Select ten thousand disciples to enter the Path of the Grand Dao and pursue the path of the Hunyuan Dao Emperor. Remember, just pursue—don’t try any other tricks. As for the matter of the Unresentful Immortal Emperor, let it rest for now.”

“Understood!”

Everyone in the hall responded in unison. None of them felt resentful. The Yellow Heaven ascendants had stood strong till now not by seeking revenge for every slight.

To be able to kill the Unresentful Immortal Emperor through karmic means while piercing the fortune of the Yellow Heaven on the Path of the Grand Dao, such an existence was not someone anyone wanted to face, not even the Unresentful Immortal Emperor’s master.

The Grand Dao was long and filled with obstacles. Dying along the way was all too normal. The living were what mattered most.

...

As autumn set in.

Gu An was watering flowers in the Wushi Dao Field. Besides gathering herbs, he would sometimes do other chores. No one expected him to actually need to gather herbs. All the disciples believed he just enjoyed a farmer’s life, maybe because of his experiences before cultivating immortality.

An Xin suddenly appeared beside Gu An, her expression complicated. She asked, “Master, is the Hunyuan Dao Emperor really that powerful?”

Yesterday, she had sparred with the Blood Prison Saint. They ended in a draw, which hit her hard. Before that, she believed her Immortal Emperor Eyes were invincible, the strongest divine ability her master possessed.

Though she was about to become a Hunyuan Dao Emperor, in her heart, the Hunyuan Dao Emperor was just something extra, not as useful as the Immortal Emperor Eyes.

She had thought about it all night but still didn’t understand.

What she didn’t know was that the Blood Prison Saint had also shut himself away, thinking all night, unable to understand why he couldn’t beat An Xin.

The Blood Prison Saint had made up his mind—he would never venture out again. Staying and cultivating with his master was a better path.

“Hunyuan Dao Emperor is just a type of fortune power. It depends on the person. You don’t need to be against it. It can make your Immortal Emperor Eyes even stronger. You can become a Hunyuan Dao Emperor, but the Blood Prison Saint can’t cultivate Immortal Emperor Eyes.”

Gu An casually replied. The Immortal Emperor Eyes were a secret inheritance, and in the entire Wushi Dao Field, only An Xin had inherited it. No one else even knew the words Immortal Emperor Eyes.
