Chapter 799 Fame Shakes the Eastern Wilderness! Crossing the Northern Regions in Search of Purple Mo
Outside the Fire Domain, many cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, their faces filled with doubt about life.
As expected of the young emperor of Chu!
In front of his fiancée, he flirted and flirted with a vixen; he's a role model for us all.
Most importantly, his fiancée is a descendant of the Demon Emperor, a princess of the demon race!
Moreover, it seems that Yan Ruyu doesn't mind this at all; on the contrary, she seems to be happy about it.
In fact, Yan Ruyu really didn't care about this matter.
Because she and Chu Yang had no emotional foundation whatsoever, and they didn't have much contact when they were at the Xuan Yuan Sect.
The so-called engagement is just a way of putting it.
Their actual relationship was more like a collaboration.
Everyone understood each other implicitly; Chu Yang helped nurture the Holy Heart, acting as the vessel to hold it.
When the time is right, Yan Ruyu will take away the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart through dual cultivation.
This can be considered a disguised marriage alliance, but she will not use it to control Chu Yang.
Ultimately, it all comes down to power and status.
In the original story, Ye Fan had a similar experience, but the demon race treated him in a completely different way.
An ancient holy body with no future in the Dharma-ending Age, no matter how powerful it is now, will ultimately be viewed with skepticism by no one.
However, the reincarnation of an ancient emperor can not only borrow the power of his past life, but also crush the geniuses of his generation at that time, making him a completely worthwhile investment for the demon race.
This is not just Yan Ruyu's attitude; the arrival of the younger generation of the demon race in the Eastern Wilderness today is already a statement from the demon race itself.
Otherwise, the Peacock King would have broken through his cultivation barrier for Yan Ruyu, but he would never have gone to such lengths for Chu Yang, who was completely unrelated to him.
All I can say is that Yan Ruyu is a very farsighted and decisive person.
Even when Chu Yang killed a powerful demon in the Primordial Ruins, Yan Ruyu did not harbor any hostility. Instead, she showed a friendly attitude, which led to everything that followed.
While at the Xuan Yuan Sect, she acted decisively, speaking frankly and openly discussing the matter of the Sacred Heart with Chu Yang.
Every step she took was very pleasant, which is why Chu Yang was willing to let the demon race hitch a ride.
Of course, this is just Chu Yang's own opinion.
From the perspective of the demon race, they are merely making an investment, and the final return is yet to be seen in the short term.
For Chu Yang, however, the so-called path to becoming an emperor was simply a necessary process.
If he were to merge with the true spirit, he could ascend to heaven in an instant.
Therefore, Chu Yang is like a galactic battleship. Anyone who can board the ship, as long as they don't court death, will surely have a place at the end of their immortal journey.
The "crackdown," which was all bark and no bite, ended with Jiang Yichen's death, Ji Haoyue's defeat, and the Golden-Winged Roc King being suppressed and subdued.
In the past, the title of Emperor Shao of Chu was just beginning to emerge in the Eastern Wilderness, but most people regarded it as a gimmick and did not believe it.
Now, everyone has come to believe that Chu Yang is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor and is destined to prove his Dao in this life.
The pressure on the peers of this generation has increased dramatically, and the news has even spread beyond the Eastern Wilderness, causing some well-established forces to begin making contingency plans...
On the other hand, some people are stubborn and want their own prodigy to compete.
At worst, we could find a way to kill Chu Yang and prevent him from conquering the imperial path.
There are quite a few people who think this way, and this is something that Chu Yang had already anticipated from the very beginning when he started using the Emperor's name to intimidate people.
In an era of numerous heroes and geniuses, the appearance of a reincarnated emperor is not unacceptable.
But if this reincarnated emperor possesses strength that overwhelms the present generation and no one can rival him, then it will be different!
Without hope, it will be a dark age for all forces.
If you can't win a direct confrontation, you have to think of other ways.
Just like...
Kill Chu Yang and overturn this mountain of his!
At that time, everything will return to its original state, and countless geniuses will compete on the road to becoming emperors.
Even for the major powers, the chances of their own prodigies emerging victorious are still very small, but at least it's not entirely hopeless...
So what if he's the reincarnation of an emperor?
What good is borrowing the power of a past life?
Unless an ancient emperor personally arrives, even if all the unparalleled lineages from all sides unite and pile up supreme imperial weapons, they could still bury Chu Yang!
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and no party will do that until they are at their wits' end.
The reason why Chu Yang was completely unconcerned even though he knew this situation would occur was partly because he had a true spirit by his side, so he was not afraid of the lineage of the Big Dipper Star Region.
They are even less afraid of those so-called ultimate imperial weapons!
Only in the hands of a Great Emperor can it be called an ultimate imperial weapon.
Otherwise, how much power can it exert?
On the other hand...
In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, which emperor throughout history didn't pave his path to the throne with his own corpse?
Those who become emperors are never afraid of being enemies with the whole world!
After the events in the Fire Domain were over, Chu Yang left the State of Jin.
He didn't travel with anyone, and even the Golden-Winged Roc King, who had just submitted, was left to Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao as bodyguards.
Having the Golden-Winged Roc King with him does indeed save a lot of trouble.
Putting everything else aside, just in terms of travel speed, it will definitely be much faster.
Although Chu Yang used the soul will of the five horses and the blue hand of the wild boar to distort the perception of the Golden-Winged Roc King, he had not yet completely subdued it.
There's a crucial missing link here: Old Peng Wang!
Chu Yang could easily defeat the Golden-Winged Roc King, but without using his true spirit, he had no way to deal with the Old Roc King, a giant of the demon race.
Moreover, given the relationship between Yan Ruyu and Qin Yao, Chu Yang didn't want to make a fatal enemy of them, lest it embarrass everyone in the future.
Therefore, he needs to send the Golden-Winged Roc King back first. Only after the old Roc King learns of the news and personally investigates to confirm that the young Roc King has no restrictions can the matter be considered settled.
In essence, the Dual-Hand Technique is not a forbidden method, but rather a kind of "correction" of the soul and memories.
This is the mystery of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques; even the great emperors of ancient times might not have possessed such methods.
Therefore, no matter how hard the old Roc King tried, he could not find any clues and would only assume that the Golden-Winged Roc King had submitted spontaneously.
Having lost in a direct confrontation, Chu Yang hadn't even used the Seven-Colored Mist Silk, and he had attacked from a realm above.
Old Peng King couldn't find fault with the whole thing, especially since it was Little Peng King who voluntarily submitted...
Chu Yang only needs to wait for good news and make arrangements for the Golden-Winged Roc King after everything has settled down.
His decision to forcibly acquire Xiaopeng Wang was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of various considerations.
Riding a descendant of the Divine Roc naturally elevates one's status to the highest level.
While they were out fighting, the various prodigies were still locked in a life-or-death struggle, but his own mount was able to easily defeat them. The scene was quite something...
Of course, the main reason is that the Golden-Winged Roc King has potential.
On his own, he could only manage to cut through the Dao at most, but Chu Yang could help him continue on the path, even allowing him to revert to his ancestral bloodline and become a divine roc!
On the other hand, the Golden-Winged Roc King has a clean background, with no complicated relationships other than the old Roc King behind him.
Most importantly...
This guy is so easy to control!
The Golden-Winged Roc King was not good at using divine sense, and he was impulsive, easily angered, and arrogant. Throughout the battle, he was led by the nose by Chu Yang from beginning to end.
The final life-for-life situation was also deliberately orchestrated by Chu Yang.
He stated that in order to briefly break down the Golden-Winged Roc King's psychological defenses at the last moment, so as to unleash his dual-wielding technique.
As I said before, although the Eight Extraordinary Skills are mysterious and wondrous, their starting point is too low and their upper limit is also limited. It is not easy to unleash their full power.
This was also thanks to the fact that before suppressing his cultivation level, the Golden-Winged Roc King was only at the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm.
If he were to reach the Dragon Transformation Realm, the difficulty of Chu Yang's operation would increase exponentially, and the success rate would be greatly reduced.
If it's the Sendai Secret Realm, don't even think about it; there's no chance of success.
Chu Yang embarked on a path that made him an enemy of the world from the very beginning. His desire for rapid advancement and the accumulation of vast resources destined him to become an enemy of the world.
Therefore, he must not have many friends. But the Big Dipper Star Region is so big, he can't do everything himself and run around everywhere, can he?
Having a capable enforcer under your command would be ideal.
Of course, there might not be just one thug...
However, Chu Yang has not yet found a suitable second candidate.
Those who are holy sons of major holy lands, divine sons of noble families, or successors of great religions are not suitable.
The network of relationships behind them is too complicated and involves too many people.
Distorting cognition is not something that can be forcibly controlled.
In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, Chu Yang could only distort the target's perception to a very small extent.
All he did for the Golden-Winged Roc King was to make it acknowledge him as its master and submit to him.
As for everything else, nothing will change.
When facing others, the Golden-Winged Roc King will still be as arrogant as ever.
If Chu Yang asked him to kill the Old Peng King, he certainly wouldn't do it, but he would also never betray Chu Yang.
For Yu Chuyang, the most important thing is that such candidates have a clean background; talent is secondary.
Even if someone is just a mortal, once they have forged a path, they can make that path reach the heavens!
However, if Chu Yang were to find an ordinary person and train them from scratch, it would be unnecessary and the time and effort required would be not worth it.
The Golden-Winged Roc King gave Chu Yang an idea, and he began to think about how to get as many "servants" as possible after breaking through to the Dao Palace.
We still need to start with targets below the Dragon Transformation Realm; targets above the Dragon Transformation Realm are much more difficult to manage.
As Chu Yang embarked on his journey to the Northern Region, the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan was also thrust into the spotlight.
"The demon race has been dormant for a long time, but now that the descendant of the Demon Emperor has reappeared and won over the young Emperor Chu, they are likely to rise again!"
"It's hateful that our sacred families and clans are so disappointing! Emperor Chu is clearly the reincarnation of a human emperor, yet the demon race has seized the opportunity!"
"Who else can we blame? The demon race was the first to invest and supported us wholeheartedly!"
"Look at the human race, they're only thinking about vying for the opportunity to become the Great Emperor!"
Such remarks intensified in the Eastern Wilderness, causing the reputation of the Holy Land families to plummet.
But ironically, these statements are all true...
The array pattern catalog that Qin Yao found for Chu Yang only recorded some basic array patterns, which was insufficient to support him in setting up a large array that could traverse the void over long distances.
However, Chu Yang did not blindly fly to the Northern Region. Instead, he directly released his True Spirit and used its power to traverse the void.
Not using one's true spirit to fight the enemy is to hone oneself.
But if one can reduce trouble and save time through the true spirit, it would be foolish to insist on following the rules...
So, just as news of the Fire Domain reached the Northern Region, Chu Yang, the person involved, was already in the Northern Region.
His two main objectives for this trip were to enter Zishan, find Jiang Taixu, and obtain the Douzi Secret.
Another one was to find the old site of Yaochi and comprehend the Western Emperor Scripture.
The problem is...
Chu Yang didn't know the exact location of either Purple Mountain or the old site of Yaochi, only that both were in the northern region of the Eastern Wilderness.
However, Chu Yang had a general plan before coming, so he wasn't completely clueless.
When he was in the Southern Region, he obtained a map of the Northern Region from the Golden-Winged Roc King. Using the locations marked on the map, he crossed directly to Pingyan City.
The Eastern Wilderness is a vast territory, so even detailed maps rarely mark all the cities.
Since many people spend their entire lives without being able to cross the Northern Region, how could those with great supernatural powers have the time to draw maps?
In addition, most of those small towns would disappear within a hundred years, and then new small cities would spring up like mushrooms after rain.
However, Pingyan City is different. Even in the vast northern region of the Eastern Wilderness, this city is already considered quite prosperous.
After arriving in Pingyan City, Chu Yang began a thorough search within a radius of 600 li.
Unfortunately, all he knew about the location of Zishan was that it was about 600 li away from Pingyan City.
Once you find the stone village where the descendants of Master Yuan are located, you can find Purple Mountain.
Even with his true spiritual power constantly traversing the void, it took Chu Yang a full three days to finally find his target.
Purple Mountain is very conspicuous because there are oases for dozens of miles around, and there is only this one lonely mountain, which is thousands of meters high.
Standing in front of the bare, purplish-brown stone mountain, Chu Yang looked at the somewhat blurred sword and knife marks on it, and then began to search within a radius of a hundred miles.
He needed to find the entrance to Purple Mountain, but the entrance was far less conspicuous than Purple Mountain itself, so it took him quite a bit of effort before he finally discovered an ancient mine.
"Searching for mineral veins with divine sense is far too time-consuming and laborious..."
Chu Yang frowned, determined to learn the Origin Heaven Book during this trip to Purple Mountain.
He needs far too many cultivation resources, even more outrageous than those for the Ancient Sacred Body. Simply stealing them would definitely not be enough.
One can use the unparalleled soul will after releasing one's true spirit to gamble on stones, which is not much different from having X-ray vision.
But if you can find source mines anytime, anywhere, and then combine that with gambling on stones, wouldn't that be more efficient?
Furthermore, one can use the Source Technique to directly explore the Primordial Ancient Mine. Although it is dangerous, it is also incredibly rich in treasures.
Standing beside a mine shaft, Chu Yang looked down. It was pitch black, like a sinkhole.
This mine has been abandoned for countless years, and there is nothing of value inside, but there is a piece of Wushi Emperor Jade waiting for a "destined person".
Chu Yang didn't go to get it, but instead swaggered into the mine and continued forward along the vein.
This time he did not overestimate himself, and always relied on the power of his true spirit to empower himself, so he was extremely fast and covered tens of thousands of meters in a short time.
Without the Imperial Jade or that special stone armor, his blatant entry would certainly be seen as a forced intrusion.
To force one's way through Purple Mountain, unless one is an emperor, no matter how many people come, they'll be wasting their lives!
Therefore, Chu Yang planned to use his True Spirit power to directly conquer the area, first meeting Jiang Taixu and obtaining the Source Heaven Book, before considering anything else! (End of Chapter)
