Chapter 966: The Whereabouts of the Five Emperors

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are all Quasi-Saint level powerhouses.

However, compared to the Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors are much weaker, basically having only severed one or two corpses.

The prestige of the Three Sovereigns was too high, so they were imprisoned by the Sages in the Fire Cloud Cave.

But the Five Emperors.

After they stepped down from their positions, they all disappeared mysteriously one after another.

Although it is unknown why they disappeared, everyone speculates that it might be related to the Sages.

They want to dismember the Human Race, so the Human Race cannot possess powerhouses.

Nuwa shook her head and said, "The world suspects that it was us Sages who played the black hand, perhaps having already executed them or sealed them away. But I must tell you, at least I do not know of this matter."

Yin Qi asked in surprise, "It wasn't you?"

Nuwa nodded and said, "It wasn't us. In fact, regarding the attitude toward the Five Emperors, we Sages are basically in agreement, which is to send them all to the Fire Cloud Cave after they step down.

After all, locking up three people is locking them up, and locking up eight people is also locking them up.

But before we could even take action, Shaohao disappeared mysteriously after selecting Zhuanxu as the next Human Sovereign.

The subsequent cases of Zhuanxu, Di Ku, Di Yao, and Di Yu were all the same.

We also secretly monitored Di Yao, Di Yu, and the others, but they all disappeared mysteriously right under our noses; their whereabouts remain a mystery to this day."

"So that's how it is!"

Yin Qi was shocked.

To be able to disappear quietly under the surveillance of the Sages, the Five Emperors truly have some means.

But where did they go?

"Over these years, do you not have even the slightest clue, or perhaps a guess?"

Yin Qi asked.

He was very curious about where the Five Emperors had gone and what plans they might have.

Nuwa said, "No clues, though I do have some guesses. Although the Primordial World is vast, there are few places that can shield the perception of the Heavenly Dao; besides the Pangu Hall of the Wu Clan, there is the mysterious Return Ruins."

Of course, the dojos of the Sages are not included.

"Return Ruins?"

Yin Qi frowned slightly.

He had only heard legends of the Return Ruins.

"Liezi: Questions of Tang" states: "To the east of the Bohai Sea, at an unknown distance of hundreds of millions of miles, there is a great abyss; it is truly a bottomless valley, with no bottom, named the Return Ruins. The waters of the eight directions and nine fields, and the flow of the Heavenly River, all pour into it, yet it neither increases nor decreases."

In layman's terms, the Return Ruins is a bottomless pit into which all the waters of the world pour.

Nuwa nodded and said, "Correct. Back when the Dao Ancestor was preaching at Zixiao Palace, he once spoke of the Return Ruins, saying that the Return Ruins is the most mysterious place in the world, the final destination for all things in existence, and even he does not know where it is."

Yin Qi was shocked.

There is actually a place in this world that even the Dao Ancestor does not know about!

He hurriedly asked, "Did the Dao Ancestor say what is actually inside the Return Ruins, and what is meant by it being the final destination for all things in existence?"

Taken literally, it means that all things in the world will fall into the Return Ruins.

This naturally includes all living beings of the Primordial World.

But after the living beings of the Primordial World die, don't they enter the Underworld for reincarnation?

And all things in the world naturally include the jade slab under one's feet, but the jade slab under one's feet either stays laid out here, or is shattered, or is discarded, or is crafted into other objects, so how would it go to the Return Ruins?

Nuwa shook her head and said, "The Dao Ancestor did not say much more; he seemed to know something, but it was inconvenient to speak of it. In fact, after I became a Sage, I spent several thousand years specifically searching for it, but I gained nothing."

A strange look flashed in Yin Qi's eyes.

He was even more curious about the Return Ruins in his heart.

Could it be that the Five Emperors really went to the Return Ruins, and what exactly is inside there?

However, no matter how curious he was, he could only suppress it in his heart for now.

……

After spending some time with Yin Qi, Nuwa returned to Wahuang Heaven.

Zichen Hall.

Yin Qi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the garden outside the window.

Immortal flowers were in bloom, a riot of colors.

"The bottleneck has loosened; the next step is to sever the Self Corpse, it is time to plot for the Pangu Banner."

Yin Qi whispered, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

The Pangu Banner is in the hands of the Yuanshi Good Corpse; trying to forcibly snatch the Pangu Banner from the other party is definitely not feasible. For one, he cannot do it, and for another, it would provoke wariness from all sides.

If you dare to snatch the Pangu Banner of Yuanshi Tianzun today, will you dare to come and snatch mine tomorrow?

As for not being able to do it.

Unless he could instantly kill the Yuanshi Good Corpse and bring the Pangu Banner into his Inner Heaven and Earth before the Primordial Spirit of the main body could react.

But clearly, he cannot do that.

Yuanshi Tianzun is a Peak Quasi-Saint after all; defeating him is easy, but killing him is difficult.

Because he does not believe that the Yuanshi main body did not leave behind a trump card.

Just like when he wanted to kill Chiyou, and in the end, it activated the trump card Houtu had left on Chiyou.

Since he cannot use force, he can only win through strategy.

Very quickly.

A plan took shape in his mind.

………

Please... you... add... to... your... library...!

A thousand years later.

Kunlun.

Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun put down his Mobile Phone, his brows furrowing slightly.

Just a moment ago, Yunzhongzi sent a distress message, hoping to borrow the Pangu Banner for use.

In the Chan Sect, besides Antarctic Immortal and Guangchengzi, he valued Yunzhongzi the most, and Yunzhongzi had indeed lived up to his expectations, refining several Demon Realm Origins to forcefully cultivate to the Peak Great Luo.

In order to achieve the Quasi-Saint realm, Yunzhongzi chose a top-tier Middle Thousand World to invade.

It was just that this top-tier Demon World seemed somewhat strong; Yunzhongzi had been gnawing at it for a thousand years and had simply failed to conquer this Demon World, though he had already forced the experts of this Demon World into a desperate situation.

The next step was the decisive battle.

But the various experts of the Demon World seemed to have prepared some secret means; Yunzhongzi sensed that the situation was not quite right, and therefore, for the sake of safety, hoped to borrow the Pangu Banner.

Past lessons are the guides for the future.

How Laozi lost the Taiji Diagram is still fresh in his memory even now.

Instinctively, he did not want to lend it.

But Yunzhongzi was one of his most valued disciples, only a hair's breadth away from achieving the status of a Saint.

If he did not lend it, he could not bear to do so in his heart.

After struggling with this in his heart for a while, out of deep love for his disciple, he decided to lend it; however, to avoid repeating the mistake of losing the Taiji Diagram, Yuanshi Tianzun sent a message to Yunzhongzi, telling Yunzhongzi to come and retrieve it in person.

One day later.

Yunzhongzi arrived, travel-worn and weary.

After entering the hall, he bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays respects to Master, may Master be well."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and asked: "What is the situation with the Blood Moon Demon World, that it actually requires the use of the Pangu Banner?"

Yunzhongzi was a Peak Great Luo; even if his cultivation was greatly suppressed after entering the Demon World, with a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure in hand, if he fought steadily, killing the master of the Demon World should not be a problem.

Yunzhongzi said with a hint of anger: "Master, there is someone secretly supporting the Blood Moon Demon World. Originally, the Blood Moon Demon World only had three Great Luo, but disciple discovered that they actually had two more hidden away.

They retreated step by step, wanting to lure the enemy into their trap.

Disciple also played along with their scheme, and therefore wished to borrow the Pangu Banner to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"Have you found out who the mastermind behind the scenes is?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes narrowed, and he felt secretly angry in his heart.

This was a rhythm intended to trap and kill Yunzhongzi!

What a vicious intention!

In an instant, several suspects flashed through his mind.

Yunzhongzi shook his head and said: "There are no clues for the time being, but once we capture them, we will naturally know everything."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded; he made a grasping motion in the void, and the Pangu Banner appeared in his hand, then he flicked the Pangu Banner, and it landed steadily in front of Yunzhongzi.

Immediately after, he took out a Qing Jade Talisman.
