Chapter 341

Chu Yang withdrew his gaze from Yun Yun, then looked around the cave and discovered a tomb in the corner.

Calling it a tomb, it was actually just digging the cave downward, burying the bones in it, then burying it again, and erecting a stele.

A line of small characters was carved on the stone stele—Tomb of Flower Sect Sect Master Hua Yu.

The heaven-favored daughter who had been making waves in the Central Continent recently had ultimately failed to escape the fate of turning into a handful of dust.

Chu Yang raised his eyebrows; since Hua Yu was already dead, it meant that Yun Yun had obtained her Douqi inheritance.

But Yun Yun's current situation was clearly very wrong; her bodily functions were completely normal, the Douqi in her body was abundant, but her soul aura was weak.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yang lifted his hand gently and helped Yun Yun correct her soul by combining the power of 【Heavenly Gate】 with the Idle Transformation.

After about another half an hour, Yun Yun's eyes opened slowly, with a sense of vicissitudes like an elderly person at the end of their life in her eyes, followed by a touch of confusion on her face.

When she saw Chu Yang, there was no joy of reunion after a long separation; instead, her expression was somewhat numb as she smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect this dream to still have something to do with you."

Chu Yang was stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "This is not a dream."

Yun Yun said with a calm face: "Every time you say that, and I really can't figure out why you would become my inner demon?"

Chu Yang frowned, knowing that many things must have happened to Yun Yun, causing her to be unable to even distinguish reality from dreams.

Staring at Yun Yun for a long time, Chu Yang suddenly smiled: "Feel the strength of your soul now!"

Yun Yun looked suspicious, then her pupils suddenly shrank, and even her body could not help but tremble.

Emperor Realm Soul!

And Yun Yun had seen an Emperor Realm Soul in her dreams; she discovered that her soul power was even far stronger than an ordinary Emperor Realm!

This was something that had never happened in any previous dream!

Because every time she was about to step into the threshold of the Emperor Realm, Chu Yang would act like an inner demon, blocking her path to the peak.

"This..." Yun Yun widened her eyes, looked at Chu Yang, and tentatively said: "Really not a dream?"

Chu Yang shrugged and said: "Although I don't know what you have experienced, being able to possess your current soul strength must have something to do with the dreams you speak of."

After a long time, Yun Yun calmed her emotions, confirmed that she had returned to reality, could not help but sigh long, and recounted her experiences during this period.

After parting with Chu Yang and Sun Wukong, Yun Yun traveled around the Central Continent and finally joined the Flower Sect, which only recruited female disciples.

Because her strength was not bad, she directly became an elder of the Flower Sect, and the Flower Sect did not restrict her too much, only asking her to take action when major events happened in the sect.

Yun Yun lived a life of a carefree crane in the Flower Sect until a year ago, when she inadvertently discovered this cave and met Hua Yu.

Because she was delayed in the Jia Ma Empire for a year, Yun Yun did not come here two years before Hua Yu's fall as in the original plot.

This led to Yun Yun finding Hua Yu, who was already on the verge of death without anyone to take care of her.

Yun Yun took care of Hua Yu's old age and sent her off; Hua Yu also revealed her cultivation of the peak of Dou Zun at the moment of her death and passed her lifelong Douqi to her.

The cultivation technique Yun Yun practiced was the Source Technique, which even ordinary Emperor-tier techniques could not compare to, so there was no need for Hua Yu to seal the Douqi she passed to Yun Yun after the transmission; instead, it was directly refined by the latter.

However, it was precisely in the process of this refining, based on the uniqueness of the Source Technique having infinite growth possibilities, that Yun Yun realized her own Dao.

Soul!

Her easygoing personality, like clouds rolling and unrolling, made her stumble upon the artistic conception of the soul.

But her soul power was not enough to withstand that powerful artistic conception, so she was passively drawn into one infinite dream after another.

But in Chu Yang's view, rather than calling it a dream, it was more like one reincarnation after another.

Every time she experienced a reincarnation, Yun Yun's soul would become a bit stronger; after thousands of reincarnations, her soul power had long crossed the threshold of the Emperor Realm.

She should have completed the soul transformation logically, merged with the artistic conception, and broken the cocoon to become a butterfly.

But because Chu Yang became her inner demon in every reincarnation, Yun Yun was trapped in the reincarnation and could not break free.

"I..." Chu Yang was speechless for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Why would I become your inner demon?"

Before he rose to power, Yun Yun had always treated him well, there was no conflict between them, and there was even a favor.

And after Chu Yang rose to power, with his many helps to the Yun Lan Sect, this friendship became deeper and deeper, so why would he become Yun Yun's inner demon? Yun Yun's expression was also a bit awkward, her pretty face slightly red, and she said embarrassedly: "At first I didn't understand, but later I figured it out..."

"Perhaps it's because you, this disciple, are too powerful, making me, this Sect Master, seem dispensable..."

Chu Yang suddenly realized.

So this was because of Yun Yun's self-esteem at work; his strong rise made her, this Sect Master, have less and less sense of existence.

Even though she had already left the Yun Lan Sect and laid down the burden of the Sect Master, she still held this matter in her heart.

After all, the two were not master and disciple; apart from the identities of Sect Master and sect disciple, there was not much connection.

So after the great disaster of the Yun Lan Sect, whether it was Chu Yang's strong rise or his many plans for the Yun Lan Sect, it made Yun Yun feel grateful to Chu Yang while also giving birth to a trace of guilt, and her heart felt a bit uncomfortable.

"Aunt Yun, when I joined the Yun Lan Sect but was unwilling to take a master, it was you who overcame all objections and kept me."

Chu Yang said nonchalantly: "So whether it was the protection or the inheritance of the next ten years, it all started because of this."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died in some corner of the continent long ago!"

Chu Yang thought for a while, and then said: "If you still can't get over this hurdle in your heart, then make yourself as strong as possible, so that when I have needs in the future, you can become my help!"

Yun Yun was stunned, "With your strength, there is almost nothing you cannot solve on the continent, and you still need others' help?"

Chu Yang said meaningfully: "There are heavens beyond heavens, the Douqi Continent is just a corner of the world."

"Heavens beyond heavens..." Yun Yun chewed on Chu Yang's words, thoughtful.

Chu Yang continued: "During the period when your soul was asleep, the Source Technique was always running on its own, and now your cultivation realm is no longer what it used to be."

"Hurry up and adapt to the improvement of your strength, while stabilizing your soul realm, and then prepare to take over the Flower Sect!"

Yun Yun frowned, "I didn't intend to be the Sect Master..."

The rights and wrongs of the Yun Lan Sect back then had already made her exhausted; if it weren't for Chu Yang's sudden appearance, I'm afraid the Yun Lan Sect would have long ceased to exist. Yun Yun originally intended to be a carefree crane, but she didn't want to just lay down the burden of the Yun Lan Sect and then carry the responsibility of the Flower Sect again.

"I plan to establish an imperial dynasty in the Central Continent and need the support of the Flower Sect." Chu Yang's voice was soft.

Yun Yun was silent for a moment, smoothed her hair in front of her forehead, pursed her lips and said: "I guarantee that there will never be any dissenting voices in the Flower Sect!" This sentence undoubtedly indicated her intention.

For Yun Yun, no matter how much she resisted, as long as Chu Yang had a need, she would do it without hesitation.

Leaving the cave, Chu Yang did not have too much courtesy with the people of the Flower Sect and left directly with Tang Huo'er.

The two immortals of Qinghua had been in seclusion for many years, and the current Flower Sect Sect Master was Hua Jin; that woman was not a good person, and Chu Yang was too lazy to let Tang Huo'er waste her thoughts on her.

After all, it wouldn't be long before Yun Yun would take over the power of the Flower Sect.

Chu Yang had quite a bit of interest in the Yin Valley, but in the end, it was inevitably a bit disappointing to him.

Regarding the matter of the imperial dynasty, the attitude of the Yin Valley was very clear, that is, they would still be like before, not asking about external matters, and closing the door to live their own lives.

Facing Chu Yang's inquiry about the ancestor of the Yin Valley, the Yin Valley Master could not give a clear answer, only knowing that the ancestor was once a Dou Di, but did not leave behind any inheritance or bloodline.

The Yin Valley was just a force established by the followers of the Yin Emperor for him.

Although Chu Yang still felt that the Yin Emperor was not simple, he could not get any valuable information in the Yin Valley, so he did not stay too long.

Compared to the first-class forces on the surface, the seven ancient clans paid more attention to Chu Yang's arrival.

Because only they understood how strong Chu Yang had become.

Entering the Soul Realm alone, suppressing the entire Soul Clan until they couldn't breathe, forcing them to retreat again and again, and even abandoning the car to save the handsome, dissolving the Soul Hall to appease the matter, only then did Chu Yang leave satisfied.

This matter had long since spread among the other six ancient clans.

No one knew the strength of the Soul Clan better than them; after all, the Xiao Clan was the strongest clan among the eight ancient clans back then, but it still perished because of the Soul Clan.

Although on the surface, the Gu Clan was the head of the seven ancient clans today, the power holders of each clan knew well that the foundation of the Soul Clan, as well as the strength they hid, would never be weaker than the Gu Clan! Being able to make the Soul Clan make a huge retreat, and even not dare to let out a fart, was enough to show Chu Yang's strength.

Therefore, in the process of Chu Yang visiting each clan, no matter what request he made, the patriarchs of each clan did not dare to have the slightest objection, and even the Shi Clan gave the treasure of the town clan "Heart of the Earth" to Chu Yang.

Of course, Chu Yang did not rob, but left a Grade 9 Golden Pill.

As for the matter of establishing an imperial dynasty, each clan had long heard the wind; although they knew that this would change the sky of the entire Central Continent, they did not dare to be Chu Yang's stumbling block.

"After we leave the Gu Clan, the matter of establishing an imperial dynasty must be put on the agenda, do you have any plans in your heart?"

In a quiet small courtyard, Chu Yang sipped tea and looked at Tang Huo'er in front of him.

Tang Huo'er nodded and said: "I already have a preliminary plan, and I will definitely not let the teacher down!"

Chu Yang put down the teacup and smiled: "Since that's the case, then let go and do it!"

Tang Huo'er was stunned, "Teacher, are you not leaving with me?"

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "I still have some things to do in the Gu Clan."

"Before you leave, Gu Yuan will bring his daughter to see me."

Tang Huo'er did not think much, and walked out of the small courtyard with heavy steps.

Although Chu Yang had already paved the way for her, the matter of establishing an imperial dynasty had too much influence and needed to be treated with caution.

If the relationship between the imperial dynasty and the major forces, as well as the attitude toward powerhouses and cultivators, were not handled well, even with Chu Yang, a half-emperor, backing her, it would very likely become a target of public criticism.

Even if no one dared to resist on the surface, problems would arise sooner or later.

After Tang Huo'er left, it didn't take long for Gu Yuan to bring Xiao Xun'er to the small courtyard.

"Is Emperor Chu satisfied with the environment of my Gu Realm?"

Gu Yuan smiled and exchanged pleasantries, not too servile, but also retaining enough awe.

Chu Yang nodded and said: "Among the seven clans, the space of the Gu Realm is the most stable, the environment is no different from the outside world, and the energy is even more abundant."

Even though what Chu Yang said was the truth, Gu Yuan could not help but show a smile on his face after receiving the recognition of this half-emperor.

Glancing at Xiao Xun'er, Gu Yuan's eyes moved, and he tentatively asked Chu Yang: "I wonder why Emperor Chu called my father and daughter here today, is there any instruction?"

"Instruction is not the word, but there are indeed some things..." Chu Yang pondered for a moment, and then said: "On one hand, it is for your daughter's lifelong event, and on the other hand, I want to exchange something with the Gu Clan."

Hearing Chu Yang's words, Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he bowed and smiled: "Thanks to Emperor Chu's kindness, my Gu Clan is naturally willing to become a family with Emperor Chu."

"As for the exchange... since we have become a family, if Emperor Chu has any needs, just take it, why need to exchange?"

Xiao Xun'er frowned, her expression a bit unnatural, but she did not dare to say much.

She knew that Chu Yang, as the number one person on the continent, held absolute power of life and death; if he were angered, the entire Gu Clan would suffer.

Chu Yang could not help but be stunned, then shook his head and laughed: "Patriarch Gu Yuan misunderstood, last time I heard someone mention that your daughter and Xiao Yan were childhood sweethearts, and the two were in love."

"But recently in the Gu Realm, I found that many people are opposing the matter between them."

"I wonder why this is?"

Gu Yuan's old face stiffened; he had thought it was a good thing delivered to his door, but he never expected that the lifelong event of Xiao Xun'er in Chu Yang's mouth would actually refer to Xiao Yan.

The most important thing was that the person who claimed that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship was none other than him, the Patriarch of the Gu Clan!

At that time, Gu Yuan had to bring Xiao Yan out to appease the matter and calm Chu Yang's anger.

But now he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet; most of the voices in the Gu Realm regarding the matter between Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan were opposing.

If Gu Yuan admitted at this time that the Gu Clan opposed Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan being together, it would be equivalent to indicating that he had deceived Chu Yang back then.

"Uh..." Gu Yuan was caught in a dilemma for a moment.

Xiao Xun'er took the initiative to say at this time: "Emperor Chu misunderstood, Brother Xiao Yan and I are indeed in love, but the clan regards me as the hope of the future, and as for my other half, it is inevitable that there will be some harshness."

Chu Yang glanced at her, then nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then I shouldn't interfere in the feelings between you."

"But I suppose Patriarch Gu Yuan, you should know the truth that children and grandchildren have their own blessings; some things should still be decided by your daughter herself!"

"Lest outsiders say that your Gu Clan uses power to oppress people!"

Speaking to this point, Chu Yang paused, and then said: "As for the thing I want to exchange, it is the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!" (End of this chapter)
