On the other side of the door, King Qing Ling of the Southern Chu, Cheng Ye, suddenly realized that the door had been blocked from behind, and his heart sank.
Just now, out of caution, he had waited at the entrance for a moment before continuing to move forward.
In the end, he didn’t expect that his escape route would still be blocked.
Xian Tian Palace’s inheritance was good at avoiding danger and hiding the senses of others.
The South Chu Empire had been in contact with Xian Tian Palace for many years. Although their relationship was not bad most of the time, the South Chu Empire had never let down their guard against Xian Tian Palace.
How to restrain or deceive the other party’s divination was the research topic of the South Chu Dynasty for generations.
After such a long time, it was more or less effective.
Qing Ling King Cheng Ye was especially knowledgeable in this area. This was also one of the reasons why the old king Cheng Jiongting and the eldest son of the emperor, Cheng Longyuan, invited him to come out of the mountain.
Unfortunately, in the end, he still fell for the other party’s trick.
Not only was the other party proficient in the inheritance of Xian Tian Palace, but he was also proficient in the South Chu Glory Score. With the combination of the two, he knew himself and knew his enemy, which was why he had such an effect.
Cheng Ying Tian..
This name instantly flashed across Cheng Ye’s mind.
Judging from the current situation, Cheng Ying Tian had already discovered that he was following and monitoring him.
This young man was extremely skilled in the inheritance of Xian Tian Palace, he could even set up the Heaven Defying Formation.
It seemed that today’s matter would be difficult to resolve.
With this thought in mind, Cheng Ye didn’t turn around and retreat. Instead, he didn’t care and continued to fly forward.
He wasn’t a reckless person, but in the current situation, his escape route had been blocked. If he blindly attacked the Heaven Defying Formation, he would only expose himself to the most dangerous environment and lose his life.
Only by moving forward would there be a chance.
Cheng Ye made a prompt decision, but he did not lose his cool.
Just like the Xian Tian Palace people, he had also noticed the position of the flame in the sky.
However, he chose to do the opposite.
Although they did not know the true objective of the Xian Tian Palace and Cheng Ying Tian, they knew that the location of the fire in the sky was the most unique in this new world. The thing that Cheng Ying Tian and the others were looking for was most likely there.
If he rushed over now, Cheng Ying Tian would easily catch up to him.
If he went in the opposite direction, the other party would be caught in a dilemma in order to avoid the Xian Tian Palace from getting to him first.
Therefore, Cheng Ye did not hesitate and decisively moved away from the fire. Cheng Ye was also curious about the secrets of this world and what was hidden in the flames. However, it was obvious that he had tallen into Cheng Ying Tian’s trap. It was better for him to escape first, then regroup and wait for an opportunity to strike.
Surrounded by golden flames, Cheng Ye streaked across the sky like a meteor.
However, his mind was still tense.
He could clearly feel danger approaching him.
In the distant horizon, another golden fiery meteor appeared. It was chasing after Cheng Ye from behind, and its speed was clearly faster than Cheng Ye’s. It was getting closer and closer.
Cheng Ye’s heart sank.
He was determined and refused to give up. He only wanted to stall for more time.
It wasn’t that he wanted to buy time for Xian Tian Palace, but he hoped that the longer he dragged on, the more worried Cheng Ying Tian would be about Xian Tian Palace and he would give up on chasing after him.
However, the distance between the two golden fiery meteors was getting closer and closer.
In the end, Cheng Ying Tian caught up to Cheng Ye.
“Greetings, Seventh Imperial Uncle.” He greeted her with a smile.
Cheng Ye calmed down and said calmly, “”Ying Tian’s cultivation base has greatly improved. Congratulations.”
“Seventh Imperial Uncle, you flatter me.” Cheng Ying Tian said, ” It was a small misunderstanding just now. I noticed that someone was following me, so I was on guard. It was my fault to disturb Seventh Imperial Uncle. Please forgive me.
” I thought it was an ambush from Xian Tian Palace too, so I tried to escape first. ” Cheng Ye said calmly.
Cheng Ying Tian smiled, ” I’m sorry to make a fool out of myself, Seventh
Imperial Uncle. My biological parents were both born in Xian Tian Palace. Therefore, apart from the Great Chu’s Glorious Record, I also cultivated the unique skills of Xian Tian Palace. ‘
“I see.” Cheng Ye nodded.
More than half a year ago, after Master Tianji had fallen, the Chu Emperor,
Cheng Hui, had summoned his trusted expert before he went into seclusion. Although he did not reveal Cheng Ying Tian’s background, everyone had an idea.
At this moment, Cheng Ye wasn’t surprised to hear Cheng Ying Tian admit it, but his face revealed a slightly stunned expression.
After a while, his expression returned to normal and he asked, “” However, it seems like you are not traveling with You Hao and the others from Xian Tian Palace? ”
“Seventh Imperial Uncle must be joking.” Cheng Ying Tian could not help but laugh, ” I was born by Xian Tian Palace, and I was raised by Great Chu. I will only serve Great Chu. If I have to say that I have anything to do with Xian Tian Palace, then I am just looking for an opportunity to make Na Xian Tian Palace belong to Great Chu. ‘
He turned around and looked at the flames in the sky far away.”Today, I was lucky, but unexpectedly, I gained a lot.’
Cheng Ye nodded noncommittally.
To a certain extent, his thoughts were similar to the old prince Cheng Jiongting.
Cheng Ye did not have any outstanding talents among his direct descendants, so it was difficult for the throne to flow into his line. Therefore, he did not have any obvious bias towards who would inherit the throne. At most, he had more contact with the eldest son, Cheng Longyuan, so he was more optimistic about Cheng Longyuan.
However, if more young geniuses could emerge in the South Chu Empire, Cheng Ye would also be happy to see it.
What the Chu Emperor said back then had vaguely revealed Cheng Ying Tian’s background, but he had never revealed the background of Mister Tianji, Ying Xiantian. Thus, Cheng Jiongting, Cheng Ye, and the others couldn’t understand the Chu Emperor’s deepest rejection of Cheng Ying Tian. At most, they were worried that Cheng Ying Tian would cause internal strife in South Chu as his cultivation increased.
As for the possibility of it being related to the Blood River, after the death of Patriarch Blood River, the entire Blood River Branch had hidden in the sea of blood to lick their wounds.
If they had to choose between Cheng Ying Tian, Cheng Long Yuan, and the other direct princes to be the future heir of South Chu, Qing Ling King Cheng Ye was actually leaning towards Cheng Ying Tian.
The other party’s chances of breaking through to the Martial Honored Realm and becoming a powerhouse were obviously greater.
However, this was only limited to Cheng Ying Tian and Cheng Longyuan.
If the conflict between him and the Chu Emperor caused internal strife in
South Chu, then it would not be an outcome that Cheng Ye was happy to see.
” I happened to discover Xian Tian Palace’s movements and was feeling lonely. Fortunately, Seventh Imperial Uncle is here. ” Cheng Ying Tian turned around and smiled, “” The heavens bless Great Chu. Today, Xian Tian Palace is going to make a wedding dress for our Great Chu. ‘
Cheng Ye said, ” Since that’s the case, let’s not delay any further. We’ll set off immediately. However, we don’t know what’s hidden here. I’m afraid the two of us won’t be able to handle it. It’s better for us to work together to break the Heaven Defying Formation and send the news back to the Imperial Capital. We’ll ask the old granduncle and the others to send reinforcements. We’ll take the lead. ‘
‘ Imperial Uncle, you might not know this, but Chen Luoyang has left the Ancient Gods Clan’s headquarters and his whereabouts are unknown. He should be here as well. The Heaven Defying Formation can only hold him back slightly. If we go out and fight with him, we might not be able to catch up to Xian Tian Palace. ” Cheng Ying Tian said.
Cheng Ye was silent for a moment.
He had heard of the news regarding Chen Luoyang of the Ancient Gods Clan and knew that what Cheng Ying Tian said was most likely true.
However, this did not make him let down his guard against Cheng Ying Tian.
Although they had only competed in speed, he could roughly tell that Cheng Ying Tian’s cultivation was stronger than his.
Even the old king Cheng Jiongting, who was ranked among the top ten Martial Saints of the Red Dust, might not be able to suppress this young man in front of him.
It is not the best policy to fight with him. Let’s pretend to be polite and wait and see.
Cheng Ye thought about it and nodded.Alright, since time is tight, let’s go to Xian Tian Palace first.
Two golden fiery meteors immediately broke through the sky and flew toward the flickering flames in the distance.
Outside the door, in the Parasol Tree Forest of the Mortal World, Chen Luoyang was neither anxious nor flustered. He was observing the bewildering array in front of him with interest.
Ji Zhong’s movements indicated that everything had just begun. There was no rush.
Thus, Chen Luoyang still had the time to figure out the Heaven Defying Formation.
Back when the Xian Tian Palace was in chaos, he had also stolen some things, including a few books.
Recently, he had gained quite a lot, now that he compared it with the Heaven Defying Formation, he had a different feeling.
After estimating the time, Chen Luoyang put away his thoughts of academic research and prepared to enter first.
Dazzling sunlight surged from his body.
However, the next moment, the light disappeared and turned into darkness.
A ferocious and ominous ‘black sun’ rose up slowly, like a solar eclipse. Only the edge of the sun was flickering with flames, but the inside of the sun was extremely dark and solemn.
A terrifying suction force that was like a black hole was emitted from it, and the gray fog that was blocking Chen Luoyang’s footsteps began to be sucked in.
The Heaven Defying Formation was an unsolvable vicious formation. Under the entanglement of the fog, one’s mind could be messed up and one’s flesh could be shattered.
But at this moment, the gray fog was being devoured by the black sun.
Soon, the gray fog dissipated, and the door on the ground saw the light of day again.
The black sun that enveloped Chen Luoyang also disappeared.
He looked at the sky below through the door under his feet and felt the flow of spiritual energy.
He did not use his body, but his mind to communicate with the Demon Venerable’s remains in the Dark Grotto-heaven.
” It’s like a mirror image of the mortal world, but it has probably existed for thousands of years. It has existed before the Demon Lord ruled the mortal world. I wonder if it was before the era of the Human Ruler? ” Chen Luoyang pondered as he tried to figure out his perception.”lt is truly rare for such an ancient place to remain untouched until now…”
He stepped into it, and his body was enveloped by a shadowy moonlight. Then, his entire body turned invisible and flew towards the distant fiery light.
When he got closer, he realized that the place where the fire was shining was not ordinary. It was actually the entrance to another Outer Realm. It was clearly layered with the inverted world outside.
However, looking from the entrance of the Outer Realm, the scene inside was completely different from the outside world.
There was also a parasol tree forest there, but it was different from the parasol tree forest in the mortal world. The parasol trees here were not only much taller, but they were also burning fiercely, spreading their branches and leaves in the flames.
Chen Luoyang observed his surroundings. After he entered, he discovered that the Parasol Tree Forest in the Second Heaven and Earth had set up a huge array formation.
It was even stronger than the Xian Tian Palace’s Xian Tian Myriad Formation.
After entering this place, he seemed to vaguely hear the clear cry of a phoenix..
