Chapter 434: Light of the Lighthouse

"I thought the two of you had dissipated in body and spirit; I never expected you to still be qualified to come to the Wujian Road, lingering on in your wretched existence."

Shaoyang Jun smiled slightly.

The two Guards simultaneously sneered.

"Indeed, how could we compare to a heaven-gifted talent like you?"

The two spoke in a mocking, sarcastic tone.

"I am not interested in the grudges between you; you mentioned the Emperor Road passage, where is the Emperor Road passage?"

Li Heng said calmly.

The adult immediately realized this was not the place for an argument and hurriedly spoke, "Please follow me, Exalted One."

"Heh, fellow Daoist, I will not be going. I have no desire to stay with two defeated opponents. By the way, this is my Communication Crystal; if you have any important matters in the future, you may come to find me."

Shaoyang Jun handed a crystal to Li Heng, then bid farewell to everyone. His strength erupted, tearing open a Void Rift, and he stepped inside, seemingly returning by his own sheer power.

Li Heng did not mind; after all, everyone has their own Dao.

He looked at the two Guards and spoke calmly.

"Lead the way."

Soon.

The two Guards brought Li Heng and his group into the City Lord Mansion.

"Exalted One, the Emperor Road passage is right here in the City Lord Mansion. Back then, the Wujian City Lord made a deal with the living beings of the Emperor Road and specifically opened a passage," said the Guard named Lao Fa.

The other, named Lao Gu, pinched a Dharma seal.

He pressed it into the Void, causing the Void to ripple. Immediately, a spatial opening appeared before everyone, emitting wisps of vitality; it seemed to be the passage returning to the Emperor Road.

"It seems the two of you are truly familiar with this matter."

Li Heng smiled with hidden meaning.

The two Guards became awkward upon hearing this.

"Forget it, I will not pursue it. Dignified Law Enforcement Envoys, actually running off to be guards." Li Heng had discerned the true identities of these two guards, which was why he had left behind the one hundred thousand Underworld Money back then.

Finally, without a ripple, Li Heng and his group stepped into the spatial passage.

The two Guards stood stunned on the spot, looking at the passage leading to the Emperor Road, lost in thought, hesitating whether to step in together.

But in the end, they gave up.

"Let's go, Lao Gu. That one hundred thousand Underworld Money hasn't been spent yet. I have a premonition that perhaps this Exalted One will appear on the Wujian Road once again."

The middle section of the Emperor Road, a certain region, towering mountains and ridges.

As soon as the shop assistant Xiaojiu appeared on the Emperor Road, his form began to become ethereal. Seeing the group, the two God Dynasty Princesses hurriedly explained in confusion.

"Xiaojiu was a dead person before; returning to the Emperor Road where the living reside, he will become like this. We must return to the Divine Dynasty as soon as possible to help Xiaojiu return to the living."

"This senior, may I ask if you would be willing to visit our Divine Dynasty?"

The two princesses hesitated for a moment before inviting Li Heng.

Li Heng nodded.

"I am also curious; let's go take a look."

This Divine Dynasty's reputation seemed quite grand; perhaps he could learn the truth about the Emperor Road and the Wujian Road from it.

However, the next moment, an anomaly occurred.

The surrounding Void vibrated, and a majestic figure appeared in the world. Accompanied by the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls, riding a divine dragon, the majestic figure descended here.

The two God Dynasty Princesses were startled at the sight and spoke.

"Father Emperor!"

This figure was none other than the Old God Dynasty Lord, Fu Yi.

"You two, you actually dared to enter the Wujian Road. But as I expected, you really did bring Xiaojiu out."

Fu Yi looked at the two princesses calmly and said slowly.

He did not seem surprised by everything before him.

Until he saw Li Heng, or rather, the little golden dragon beside him, and was instantly stunned, "This fellow Daoist, my name is Fu Yi; that little golden dragon beside you is..."

"An Immortal God of the Heavenly Court who has passed away." Li Heng did not hide it; it was clear that this Divine Dynasty Lord, Fu Yi, knew something.

"So that is how it is, so that is how it is."

"So you, this fellow, have also died."

Fu Yi's expression was complex, reminiscing about the past.

The little golden dragon was startled upon hearing this, carefully looking at the person before him and tracing his aura, suddenly horrified, "So it is you, this fellow! But what happened? Where is your original physical body!"

Fu Yi sighed with emotion.

"It is a long story; allow me to explain later."

"The Emperor Road is dangerous; let us return to the Divine Dynasty first."

Everyone nodded, having no objections.

Afterward.

Fu Yi led the way, and the group arrived at this Taigu Divine Dynasty.

This Divine Dynasty was vast, composed of endless Worlds piled together, worthy of being called a World Sea, layered upon layers, almost making Li Heng think he was observing the full picture of the True Realm.

The little golden dragon looked at this Divine Dynasty, his expression complex.

"This is a fragment of the Heavenly Court."

Once these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Fu Yi sighed with emotion.

He let the two God Dynasty Princesses and Xiaojiu return to the imperial palace first, leaving Li Heng and the little golden dragon behind, and then spoke.

"Indeed, a fragment of the Heavenly Court. In that initial battle, the Heavenly Court was shattered. If not for my good fortune in falling onto the Ascension Road along with this fragment of the Heavenly Court, I would have already died long ago."

"No, actually, haven't I already died?"

Fu Yi looked as if he were crying yet laughing, as if he were laughing yet crying.

The little golden dragon's expression was complex, his golden light dimmed to the extreme.

"You are indeed dead. The True Dragon Clan's number one genius lost his physical body back then, his True Spirit residing within a talisman—if that isn't death, then what is?" he asked back sorrowfully.

"You second-generation, you are always shattering my delusions."

Fu Yi shook his head; he had been very familiar with the little golden dragon in the past.

"At that time, I had already left the Heavenly Court. What exactly happened to the Heavenly Court? Why did even the Heavenly Court collapse? That was a supreme divine object created by the combined power of all the Immortal Gods."

The little golden dragon asked.

"Heh, a supreme divine object? Where is there any supreme divine object? Things that are Eternal, things that are Indestructible, will sooner or later be worn away, submerged by endless Calamities."

Fu Yi shook his head in dejection.

"How could that be..." the little golden dragon was stunned, murmuring in disappointment.

"Speak, you fellow, even after dying you still cause trouble, and even accompanied this fellow Daoist here to the Ascension Road—what is it you want to do?"

Fu Yi returned to the main topic.

"I intend to head to the Heavenly Court in the Central Great World to find something."

Li Heng said slowly.

"That is impossible. That place is completely finished; no living being can enter it. Although the numerous Disasters did not linger there after destroying the Heavenly Court, they left behind their fragments and power. With your cultivation realm, you would die the moment you entered."

Fu Yi shook his head and said.

Li Heng's eyes lit up, "Isn't that just perfect?"

Fu Yi:???

Does this guy have some kind of serious illness?

He cast a questioning gaze toward the little golden dragon, hoping the little golden dragon could provide an answer. The little golden dragon put away his dejected thoughts and spoke with a smile, "You fellow, don't underestimate the power of the Honored One."

Honored One? Fu Yi was bewildered again.

This second-generation used to be arrogant and proud, refusing to submit even to him, the number one genius, and even wanted to gather his few lackeys to ambush him—now he actually calls someone Honored One?

That is completely absurd.

Li Heng spoke calmly.

"There is no need to worry about that point; what I am worried about is whether I can find what I want over there."

"Then what is it you want to find?"

"Something that can strengthen the light of the Lighthouse."

Li Heng said slowly.
