Chapter 114

Pang Bo, as the heir of the Yao Emperor, had a fleshly body far surpassing that of ordinary cultivators, yet who would have thought that before Yang Zhu he would be so feeble, beaten to the point of having no power to retaliate.

"It was just a misunderstanding."

After understanding the cause and effect, Yang Zhu flicked his hand, and gentle spiritual power quickly repaired Pang Bo's injuries.

"You... you really learned the Yao Emperor Nine Slashes?"

Pang Bo still couldn't believe it; in such a short time Yang Zhu had mastered the Yao Emperor Nine Slashes, and even he, as the heir, had spent considerable time just to comprehend it.

"Yao Emperor Nine Slashes? That's a rare treasure!" Da Hei Gou heard the words and his eyes lit up.

"...... And there's also the Yao Emperor Classic."

The Preceding Character Secret, combined with one's own bloodline and physique, to seize from a person's soul whatever one desires is merely a matter of course.

"......"

Several people remained silent; such talent could no longer be described as monstrous, and after just a few exchanges, they had even seized the opponent's ancient classic.

The Great Emperor Ancient Classic and the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon are a faction's deepest foundation; mastering either ensures immortality.

Among them, the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon is paramount; nearly all great sects that have vanished in the dust of history never produced a Great Emperor nor held an Imperial Weapon.

The ancient classics and Imperial Weapons are the foundation guaranteeing a faction's enduring prosperity; whoever covets these two supreme treasures will surely suffer a devastating blow.

Da Hei Gou didn't know what he was thinking, wearing a wicked grin: "If we were to gather all the ancient classics......"

"However, I haven't comprehended it yet; the time hasn't come."

The Yao Emperor Classic resembled a ball of light, wrapped in layers of golden threads, floating within his body, and he was not in a hurry to choose to undo its bindings.

Yang Zhu now holds four ancient classics in his hands: the Classic of No Beginning, the Classic of the West Emperor, the Yao Emperor Classic, and the Ruthless Person's Heaven-Swallowing Devil Art.

The first two need no further explanation; the other two were obtained from Pang Bo and Hua Yunfei.

Aside from the Classic of No Beginning, Yang Zhu has not yet comprehended the other classics, for the time has not come; he needs to wait for an opportunity.

The writings of the Great Emperor are the manifestation and understanding of the ancient Great Emperor's own Dao; each volume contains supreme profundities, deep and mysterious, and if comprehended, the benefit is immense! Yang Zhu's natal magic treasure is the Hun Dun Chi, intended to evolve an immortal realm, which requires him to have a deeper insight and understanding of the Great Dao.

And the Undying Medicine, Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, Great Emperor Ancient Classic, and Great Emperor Formation Patterns are the extremes of these fields; therefore Yang Zhu has been collecting them.

All for the sake of one day forging the Hun Dun Chi into an immortal artifact! To others, these seem like Arabian Nights tales; Yang Zhu does not seek the world's understanding—only he himself knows what path he walks.

That is a path unlike any other; looking across the ages, it is unparalleled in history! "First return to Divine City, to find Tu Fei."

The most pressing matter at present is to find Tu Fei, learn the whereabouts of his grandfather, and try to obtain the other half of the Imperial Weapon.

Because the Holy Light Candidate Saint Son had fled into the Ice Snow Palace, Pang Bo had no choice but to give up, and could only seek another method; coincidentally he wanted to find Ye Fan, so he chose to travel together with Yang Zhu and the others.

With the Black Emperor present, the journey became much easier; he kept carving teleportation gates, and after three days the group returned to Divine City once more.

This time, as soon as they arrived, they heard many shocking news.

That day, Yang Zhu, at the Miao Yuan Hermitage, under the gaze of all, raised his hand to suppress the Yin-Yang Sect's Saint Son, causing a great uproar.

"Indeed, the Sacred Body Dao Embryo can easily suppress Saint Son-level figures."

As a top-tier faction of the Central State, the Yin-Yang Sect's strength is only beneath the four great dynasties, and the Saint Sons they select are certainly not weak.

And before the crowd had even recovered from this matter, the next day came even more shocking news.

Jade Pool activated the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, and with a single strike obliterated the Yin-Yang Sect!

It turned out that after Yang Zhu slew the Yin-Yang Sect's Saint Son, Jade Pool immediately sent people to investigate the matter.

Upon learning that the Yin-Yang Sect had dispatched a Supreme Elder to secretly suppress Yang Zhu, the Queen Mother of the West flew into a rage. Returning that day, together with several Supreme Elders she activated the Xi Huang Ta, unleashing an Extreme Dao strike, and the Yin-Yang Sect was instantly razed to the ground.

Thus, following the destruction of the Ice Snow Palace, another great sect has been swept clean by the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon! Divine City trembled, the Eastern Wasteland trembled, the Five Regions trembled!

"Jade Pool dislikes getting involved in disputes; what exactly did the Yin-Yang Sect do to make them deploy their Imperial Weapon?"

"Jade Pool had previously declared that anyone who targeted Yang Zhu would be considered their enemy; I never expected it to actually happen."

Jade Pool rarely takes part in sectarian disputes, handles affairs peacefully, enjoys an excellent reputation, and many factions hold favorable feelings toward it.

"The Yin-Yang Sect brought about its own destruction; when the Ji family's Divine Body was severed, the Ji family remained silent, not out of anything else but fear of Jade Pool."

Now that Jade Pool has taken action, most factions feel the Yin-Yang Sect brought it upon itself; who let it happen to collide with this windfall?

"It seems the Queen Mother values you not ordinarily; she didn't even hesitate to wipe out an entire great sect."

The Jade Pool Saintess had skin like congealed fat, exuding a fragrant aura, very ethereal; hearing this news, she was also quite surprised.

She knew Jade Pool valued Yang Zhu highly, but she never expected it to reach such a degree.

"The son of a Great Emperor must not be insulted......"

The Black Emperor merely wore an expression of expectation, muttering in a voice only he could hear.

Besides the destruction of the Yin-Yang Sect, Ye Fan also caused quite a stir, shining brightly among the major stone-gambling workshops and cutting out many rare treasures.

Recently, he even cut out a primeval creature, a golden shining monkey, whose bloodline was immensely powerful, causing a huge uproar at the time.

After the monkey was severed, it snatched away many of Ye Fan's belongings; in the end, even with many strong forces joining hands, they could not keep hold of it.

"Has the monkey come out......"

Yang Zhu murmured to himself, if one were to ask how many people of the present day could catch his eye, the Holy Prince would count as one.

His bloodline is strong, his Dao heart firm, and he possesses a genuine nature, making him worthy of deep friendship.

Unlike the Heavenly Prince, that good-for-nothing, Yang Zhu doesn't even want to glance at him a second time; a single hand could suppress him.

The Heavenly Prince's younger brother, that is, the second son of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, is who knows how many times stronger than the former, and only he could truly serve as Yang Zhu's opponent.

After entering the city, Yang Zhu had Da Hei Gou and the others go look for Tu Fei, while he himself went with the Jade Pool Saintess to the Holy Lord's Palace.

Waiting a moment in the splendid White Jade Hall, the Queen Mother of the West arrived from the main gate, escorted by a host of Jade Pool disciples.

The Queen Mother of the West wore her cloud-like hair high, adorned with nine phoenix feathers, with mist and rosy clouds drifting down; she was exceedingly dignified and pure, strikingly beautiful, with myriad graceful bearing.

She showed not the slightest sign of age, her skin crystalline like congealed fat; compared to the Jade Pool Saintess, she was hardly lacking in any way.

"Hehe... you've come back."

The Queen Mother of the West looked at the two with a smile full of contentment, her eyes brimming with auspicious harmony.

"Then I'll have Yue'er step back first."

The Holy Maiden of Jade Pond knew Yang Zhu had important matters to discuss, and she voluntarily led everyone away, leaving the vast hall empty except for Yang Zhu and the Queen Mother of the West.

"The Queen Mother of the West has seen the imperial descendant."

After everyone left, the Queen Mother of the West tidied her appearance slightly and performed a great salute respectfully.

Yang Zhu had told the Queen Mother of the West that his background must not be revealed in front of others, but in private she dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Yang Zhu's status is too exalted, even if he is the master of a holy land,
