"Back then, we gods ruled the universe under the leadership of the Great Emperor. The glory of the past is like the setting sun of the imperial court, and only the afterglow remains."
The thousand-armed old god once again dived into the mountain stream, speaking in a low voice: "The emperor's heart was cut out, his eyes gouged out, his limbs severed. Even if the immortal world is in decline and covered in ashes, the emperor will never be able to make a comeback. The new immortal court has been built, and the old one will also turn into dust like us in the old days, and become the offerings of the new immortal court..."
He sank into the deep ravine and disappeared, leaving only a low and hoarse voice: "The old immortals are like us gods of the past, only able to pick up the remnants of the declining era and linger on."
Su Yun was still upset about not being able to subdue the thousand-armed old god, but this emotion came and went quickly, and soon they faced new dangers.
The Imperial Court is different from other places. Even if Qiu Yunqi and others break the ban in front, the danger left behind is enough to take someone's life. Su Yun and his friends must concentrate and go all out to continue exploring the Imperial Court and uncover its mystery.
Su Yun hesitated for a moment and thought, "The Imperial Court cannot be opened to Yuan Shuo's scholars for trials, otherwise the number of casualties will be extremely terrifying."
He tried to lift the ban in the imperial court, clear out the dangerous places, and hand them over to the Yuanshuo scholars so that they could have a place to gain experience.
It was because of this idea that he brought Qiu Yunqi and others here, intending to use their strength to eliminate the danger to the imperial court.
But I didn't expect that the imperial court was so dangerous!
Over the next month, Su Yun, Yingying, Song Ming, and Lang Yun went deep into the imperial court. Even though they followed the path taken by Qiu Yunqi and others, they escaped death many times.
They passed through Xianliu Valley, where there was a river formed by immortal arts. The power was so great that it was impossible to cross the river. Even the strongest sword defense magic could not protect them from crossing the river.
When they were trapped in the valley with no alternative but to do anything, they discovered that at two quarters past the hour of Yin, another remaining magical power erupted and formed a small boat on the river.
They boarded a small boat and crossed the Xianliu Valley. The immortal Taoist talismans in the river turned into demons and monsters and pounced on the boat. The four of them fought until they were exhausted. When they thought they were doomed, the boat docked.
They finally crossed the river.
After bidding farewell to Xianliu Valley and moving forward, they encountered the mirror monster in Xuanjing Palace again. The mirror monster was transformed from an immortal who died here. It was good at swallowing people with magical powers and also good at swallowing people. It swallowed Lang Yun into the mirror.
Lang Yun in the mirror monster staged a father-son drama with Su Yun that was so moving that it escaped.
After leaving Xuan Jing Palace, the four encountered the place of imperial battle again. They almost entered it and nearly lost their souls.
After bypassing the battlefield of the emperors, they encountered the suppression of an ownerless immortal cauldron. The immortal cauldron was broken and tattered, but it was still carrying the immortals' obsession to kill the enemies and repay the evil emperor for his cultivation. It killed four people and almost caused them to "achieve enlightenment" on the spot.
They escaped from the pursuit of the immortal cauldron, and encountered the remaining formation map. The formation kept changing, and it was really impossible to distinguish the sun and the moon, up and down, gods and demons were dancing wildly, and danger was everywhere.
After finally fighting their way out of the remaining formation, they encountered the Yin soldiers again. They were a group of immortals who didn't know they were dead, and they captured Su Yun, Lang Yun and Song Ming as soldiers to fight against another group of dead immortals.
Fortunately, Yingying was a member of the book, so she was not drafted and escaped.
Later on the battlefield, Yingying changed her mind in various ways, used strategies, displayed her magical powers, disrupted the formations of both sides, and rescued Su Yun and the other two. She was truly legendary.
The four of them went through untold hardships and were getting closer and closer to Qiu Yunqi and the others, but their experiences along the way left a deep mark on them, so much so that when Lang Yun was sleeping, his body would twitch violently, he would kick his legs, and he would scream in his sleep or suddenly burst into tears.
"Lang Yun, think about it, you will have to go back the same way later, wouldn't you feel happier?" Yingying whispered in the ear of Lang Yun who had just woken up from a nightmare.
Lang Yun's face turned pale and he was terrified.
Su Yun said: "Okay Yingying, don't scare him. If we can't reach the end, we really have to go back the same way. But as long as we keep moving forward, we can get out!"
They were all on the verge of collapse; the dangers on the road were simply unbearable.
However, despite the danger, the four people's cultivation strength also increased rapidly, and their progress was astonishingly fast.
Facing all kinds of incredible dangers every day, it is hard not to make progress. If the strength of cultivation is improved too slowly, you may die at any time!
At this moment, there was a sudden wave of magical power coming from the front, which was extremely sharp, like sword energy piercing through the sky!
Song Ming raised his head hastily and said in a deep voice: "Qiu Yunqi and the others are just ahead! We are very close to them!"
Lang Yun perked up, trying to look less nervous, and said, "I wonder if Immortal Yuan and those Golden Immortals have recovered from their injuries."
Su Yun walked forward and said calmly, "Absolutely not. If the injuries of Immortal Lord and Golden Immortal were healed, they would not be trapped here. Moreover, there would be no body of Golden Immortal here."
"The body of the Golden Immortal?"
Song Ming and Lang Yun's hearts skipped a beat and they hurried to follow him, only to see the corpse of a golden immortal hanging under an archway in front of them!
That golden immortal was actually one of the twenty-eight golden immortals of the Northern Crown Great Wall. They had all seen his face before and would never make a mistake!
Lang Yun shuddered and whispered, "Are they already dead enough to let the Golden Immortal explore the way?"
Song Ming's face was solemn. Qiu Yunqi and others took away more than a hundred powerful men from Tianfu, all of whom were top masters participating in the Holy Emperor Conference!
These hundred or so people may have all been buried in this imperial court!
Only after these people are dead, Qiu Yunqi, Yuan Xianjun and others will send out the Golden Immortals to break the bans and dangers on the road!
"Emperor Su, are you sure you want to be the master of the imperial court?"
Song Ming murmured, "This land is ominous. Even the evil emperor died here..."
Su Yun did not answer and walked past the feet of the golden immortal hanged at the gate.
In front of us, another portal appeared, and under that portal was also hanging the body of a golden immortal!
The corners of Su Yun's eyes twitched, and he felt vaguely uneasy.
They continued forward, and another portal appeared, with the third Golden Immortal's body hanging in the door!
"It seems like a sacrifice..."
Yingying looked at the corpses of the Golden Immortals, then checked the ground, and said solemnly: "This place has been sealed off by someone, and a blood sacrifice is required to pass through. These three Golden Immortals were sacrificed without knowing it."
"Not the Three." Song Ming said in a trembling voice.
Su Yun looked forward and saw portals appearing in front of him.
In the center of Xianyunju, sword light filled the sky and blasted through the roof of the hall. Wuxianren drew his sword and performed the seventeenth move of the sword art created by Su Yun based on his sword art, breaking through the maze and facing the magnificent sword art of the Immortal Emperor!
As the swords flashed, it seemed as if the emperor himself had arrived to compete with the martial immortal!
Suddenly, blood appeared, and a fairy heart was cut open in the middle of Wu Xian's chest!
On the other side, a sword flashed, the Immortal Emperor's sword path was broken, Yingxiao's sword light dissipated, Wu Xianren fell to the ground, his chest was transparent, and he said expressionlessly: "Dong Shen Wang, after you save Emperor Xin, come and save me."
King Dong was treating Emperor Xin's sword wound. He quickly sutured the wound and used the art of creation to make it heal faster. Then he came to check on Wu Xianren's injuries.
"It has been a month and ten days since Emperor Su entered the imperial court, right?"
Wu Xianren watched him treat his injuries skillfully and asked, "Based on their speed, they should have found the center of the imperial court."
King Dong was treating his injuries seriously and didn't respond to him.
Emperor Xin asked, "What is in the center of the imperial court?"
Wu Xianren said, "Of course it is a blessed land. The reason why I escaped from the hanging coffin last time and went deep into the imperial court was for the first blessed land. This first blessed land is a place where only the Immortal Emperor can practice. Hehe, His Majesty occupied it and regarded it as a treasure. But I didn't expect that not long after I entered the imperial court, I encountered His Majesty's corpse and seriously injured me."
Di Xin looked at him and said, "You still miss that place."
"certainly!"
Wu Xianren sneered and said, "Your Majesty, you are already dead, and the First Blessed Land is ownerless. Others can grab it, but I can't? It's a pity that I was seriously injured last time and didn't get to see the magic of the First Blessed Land."
Emperor Xin said indifferently: "Why didn't you rob it this time?"
Wu Xianren laughed loudly. Di Xin didn't know what he was laughing at, so he asked again, "Why don't you rob?"
Wu Xianren laughed to hide his embarrassment, but he could no longer hide it, so he stopped laughing and said, "I'm not a fool, why should I rob? If I rob, I have to stay here to guard this No. 1 blessed land, wouldn't that restrict myself? Only a fool would be tempted by the No. 1 blessed land!"
The emperor was puzzled: "Then why did you want to grab this blessed land before?"
Wu Xianren was speechless and suddenly burst into laughter.
Di Xin waited for him to finish laughing, then said slowly: "You are two-faced, you are not a good person."
Wu Xianren snorted and ignored him.
After a while, Wu Xianren felt that his chest was itching, so he shifted his attention and said, "I have heard some legends about the First Blessed Land. I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw you, I believed it."
Emperor Xin looked at him and said nothing.
Wu Xianren, however, looked Di Xin up and down, as if he were looking at a rare treasure. His eyes were shining, and his breathing was a little rapid. He said, "Only after seeing you did I know that the legend is true. It turns out that the First Blessed Land really has such a miraculous effect!"
Di Xin still didn't speak.
Immortal Wu said, "The Immortal Realm has decayed, and the Immortals' Dao has also decayed. The Immortal Qi, Dao, and even the Immortals' bodies and spirits have begun to turn into ashes. The older they are, the more they are troubled by the ashes. For example, I have been infected with the ashes disease, and my cultivation and body are constantly turning into ashes. But there is a legend that there is a place in the imperial court where the immortal Qi born there is full of spirituality, which can make the Immortals' Dao and bodies radiate vitality again."
He stared at the Emperor's Heart, breathing rapidly: "However, this first blessed land has always been controlled by the previous Immortal Emperor, and no one can see it! I have seen your majesty's body, without a heart, and the body is floating in the air, scattering ashes. I have also heard people talk about your majesty's spirit, and your majesty's spirit is also constantly turning into ashes! I thought the legend was false! But your majesty's heart, there is not a single bit of ashes..."
His eyes were burning with enthusiasm. "The First Blessed Land is real! It is in the Imperial Court! Your Majesty relied on this blessed land to help his heart escape from the catastrophe of ash transformation!"
Emperor Xin finally spoke and asked, "Then why don't you go find this first blessed land?"
Wu Xianren said decisively: "In the First Blessed Land, there must be many bans! And the one who set up the bans is Your Majesty!"
He smiled strangely, "Your Majesty, you are called the Evil Emperor, so your seal must be extremely evil! Your Majesty is the most evil and powerful existence since the establishment of the Immortal Court. You can use human skulls to refine furnaces and human bones to refine cauldrons. I dare not touch your Majesty's seal."
Emperor Xin frowned and said, "Don't call me Your Majesty. I am the Divine Emperor Xin, not the Evil Emperor."
Wu Xianren smiled and said, "But your majesty will return to his original form sooner or later. At that time, your majesty will still be the evil emperor."
Emperor Xin frowned.
Wu Xianren smiled and said, "Now, Qiu Yunqi, Yuan Xianjun and others, as well as Su Shenghuang and others, should be close to finding the first blessed land. They encountered the ban of His Majesty there, so I think I can get rid of two of my biggest worries in one fell swoop."
He took a long breath and said leisurely, "But I, Wu Xianren, am a man of my words. I promised to guard this place for Emperor Su for half a year, and I will do it! As for Emperor Su's life or death, it has nothing to do with me!"
