The First Marquis of Daxuan

"That's right, it's Five Elements Mountain."

Qi Lingyun glanced at Shi Binbin with some surprise.

She could naturally tell that Shi Binbin was just a Heavenly Profound Realm martial artist, and one who had taken shortcuts.

Such martial artists were simply not worthy of Qi Lingyun's attention.

However, this ant is quite knowledgeable, as it even knows about the Five Elements Mountain.

"The Five Elements Mountain was the first weapon forged by a Celestial Venerable in the world. It was just right to restrain the Lord of the Void Beasts, but unfortunately it was left behind in the Void Realm."

Qi Lingyun said.

"It's not a pity at all."

Shi Binbin said with a strange expression, "The Five Elements Mountain is in Su Mu's hands, and he even used it in front of us."

"what?"

Qi Lingyun was stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

"You're saying the Five Elements Mountain is in Su Mu's hands?"

She could hardly believe her ears.

What a coincidence!

What secrets does Su Mu still have that she doesn't know?
He actually got his hands on the Five Elements Mountain?
No, no.

Qi Lingyun suddenly realized what was going on.

Su Mu was a descendant of the Seventy-Two Thieves, and Five Elements Mountain had fallen into the hands of the Seventy-Two Thieves back then.

It was left behind in the Ruins Realm because of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Given this connection, it's not surprising that Su Mu obtained the Five Elements Mountain.

There's still one of the Seventy-Two Thieves alive, and he'll definitely guide Su Mu to find the Five Elements Mountain.

"Miss Qi, does this mean that since Five Elements Mountain is already in Su Mu's hands, we have nothing left to do?"

The Marquis of Jin inquired.

Everyone was inevitably disappointed. They thought Qi Lingyun would give them a rare opportunity, but this was the result.
They were all prepared to fight to the death, but this is all they got?

What more do we need to do after Su Mu has already accomplished this?
"of course not."

Qi Lingyun was provoked by the look in Jin Hou's eyes.

Qi Lingyun has never been inferior to anyone in her life. When has she ever been looked down upon like this?

"Now that Su Mu has obtained the Five Elements Mountain, we can skip one step and proceed directly to the next step."

I ask you, do you know why the Five Elements Mountain was able to subdue the Lord of the Void Beasts?

Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, Dongfang Liuyun, Shi Binbin and others all shook their heads.

They didn't even know that the Five Elements Mountain could restrain the Lord of the Void Beasts.

They had only seen the Five Elements Mountain at Su Mu's place. As for the so-called Lord of the Void Beasts, they had only heard of him briefly, but had never actually dealt with him.

In truth, compared to the Lord of the Void Beasts, they are still at a lower level and are not yet qualified to be the Lord of the Void Beasts' enemies.

Their constant enemies were nothing more than the Void Beasts under the command of the Void Beast Lord.

Qi Lingyun wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

She felt a little better.

If even these ants knew this, then Qi Lingyun would be deeply disappointed.

She merely lived a second life in seclusion, and the world has become like this?

Even an ant's knowledge is no less than Qi Lingyun's?
Fortunately, the people in the Great Xuan Taiping Division didn't know everything.

Qi Lingyun thought to herself, but put on a calm and indifferent expression.

"Originally, with your cultivation level, you were not qualified to access this secret."

However, I see your sincerity is commendable, so I will give you a chance.

Qi Lingyun slowly said, "As I just said, the Five Elements Mountain was created by the first Celestial Venerable in the world. This weapon contains a great secret of the first Celestial Venerable in the world."

Unraveling this secret would be of immense benefit to both you and Su Mu.

"But to unlock this secret, you need to do one more thing."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me, my greatsword is itching to strike."

Shi Binbin rubbed his hands together eagerly.

"That is, to find the Great Celestial Venerable's place of return to the Void."

Qi Lingyun said solemnly, "The Great Celestial Venerable is the first Celestial Venerable in the world that I mentioned."

"The Land of Ruins? To put it bluntly, it's the tomb of the Great Celestial Venerable."

Shi Binbin blurted out, "You want us to dig up graves?"

"You can understand it that way if you want."

Qi Lingyun said noncommittally.

Everyone looked at each other.

They had no qualms about digging up graves; in fact, they had done this kind of thing many times before.

After the tombs of some ancient martial artists were discovered, they would also participate in the plundering of martial arts traditions, divine weapons, and other treasures.

However, the title of the first Celestial Venerable in the world sounds very impressive.

The tombs of such important figures are probably not so easy to excavate.

"Easy, so where is the Great Celestial Venerable's tomb?"

Shi Binbin asked.

"If I knew where it was, what would I need you for?"

Qi Lingyun calmly said, "No one knows the exact location of the Great Celestial Venerable's tomb; you'll have to find it yourselves."

However, I can tell you where it might be.

What you need to do now is to determine the exact location of the Great Celestial Venerable's tomb from among these possible locations.

Su Mu had been listening to Qi Lingyun's words the whole time. When he heard this part, Su Mu turned his head and glanced at Ning Hongchen.

Ning Hongchen nodded slightly, indicating that what Qi Lingyun said was true.

Ever since he obtained the Five Elements Mountain, Su Mu has been trying to refine it.

Even now, Su Mu wouldn't dare say he's succeeded.

However, he can now control the Five Elements Mountain and, with the help of its power, has cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to its peak.

Since then, Su Mu has rarely used the Five Elements Mountain.

Su Mu had never had time to consider the secrets of the Five Elements Mountain and the Great Celestial Venerable.

After all, he had either been running around in the Void Realm or had been dragged into the Heavenly Venerable's struggle by the White Venerable, his life hanging by a thread.

At that time, he had no time to consider the secrets of the Great Celestial Venerable.

Now, after hearing what Qi Lingyun said, Su Mu couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

Besides the Heavenly Weapon Diagram mentioned by Ning Hongchen, what other secrets does the Great Celestial Venerable possess?
Logically speaking, the Great Celestial Venerable and the Lord of the Void Beasts were not from the same era, so why is it that the Five Elements Mountain left behind by the Great Celestial Venerable can restrain the Lord of the Void Beasts?
Could it be that the Great Celestial Venerable foresaw that a Lord of the Void Beasts would emerge in the Void Realm?
Or is there a problem with the origin of this Lord of the Void Beasts?
Su Mu was filled with doubts, but even more so with curiosity about the Great Celestial Venerable's tomb.

As the first Celestial Venerable in the world, there must be many treasures in the Great Celestial Venerable's tomb.

Su Mu has been working on refining Chaos Divine Weapons lately, and he feels that his inventory is getting smaller and smaller.

Moreover, it seems that the Great Xuan is about to take root in the Yang Realm, and building a city will require a lot of resources.

It's unknown how many rare and precious materials the four ancient celestial beings could collect. If they could find the tomb of the Great Celestial Venerable, it might alleviate his financial burden.

Seeing Su Mu looking like he was listening attentively, Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, Dongfang Liuyun, Shi Binbin, Mo Xuesong and the others panicked.

If Su Mu makes a move, what chance will they have?

"Su Mu, shouldn't your current task be to prepare to take over as the Lord of Yang?"

Shi Binbin, being straightforward, said, "This matter is not so easy. There will definitely be many people who are dissatisfied and will try to make things difficult for you. You need to be well prepared. Leave the rest to us."

"Don't get involved."

Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, Dongfang Liuyun, and others nodded vigorously in agreement.

"What do you mean by this? Are you guarding against me?"

Su Mu said irritably.

"This isn't to guard against you. As the saying goes, there are priorities. Let us handle these less important matters."

The Marquis of Jin said with a serious expression.

"This is something they really have to do; you can't go."

Qi Lingyun suddenly interjected, "There are some places they can go, but you can't."

"Why?"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"Because you are too strong."

Qi Lingyun explained, "You think the Five Elements Mountain has been lost in the Ruins Realm for many years, so why hasn't any Heavenly Venerable gone looking for it?"
It is precisely because the Celestial Venerable cannot easily cross the boundary that even the Heavenly Venerable only went to the Ruins Realm before his death.

The Void Beasts who previously besieged Thunder Celestial Venerable were most likely backed by someone else.

Otherwise, if they violate the rules and recklessly cross the boundary, all the celestial beings in the mortal realm will take action against them.

Although you are not a Celestial Venerable, your strength is already comparable to that of a Celestial Venerable. There are some places you can no longer go.

"What if I go?"

Su Mu said.

"Maybe nothing will happen, or maybe my life will be in danger, who knows?"
I personally feel that you don't need to take any risks.

Qi Lingyun shrugged and said.

"Fine, I'm just listening."

Su Mu gestured for them to continue.

"The most likely location for the Great Celestial Venerable's tomb is Falling Star Abyss."

Qi Lingyun looked at Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, Dongfang Liuyun, and the others, and slowly said, "The Falling Star Abyss is located at the end of the world..."

"The end of the world? Does such a place really exist? You're not kidding us, are you?"

Shi Binbin couldn't help but interrupt Qi Lingyun.

"Believe it or not."

Qi Lingyun said expressionlessly, "I'm just telling you what I know."

Your task is to find Falling Star Abyss.

"Why do I feel like you want to treat us like cattle and horses?"

Shi Binbin was somewhat skeptical.

Qi Lingyun casually smoothed her hair and said calmly, "I'm trying to help you. You don't have to believe me, but you can't slander me."

Ning Hongchen listened from the side and kept grimacing.

Qi Lingyun is a really bad person. She clearly wanted to use the Great Xuan Dynasty to find Luo Xingyuan, but she pretended to be helping someone.

However, Ning Hongchen also wanted to see if the Great Xuan Dynasty could find Luo Xingyuan, so he did not remind Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, and the others.

If Ning Hongchen could see this, Su Mu naturally could too.

However, Su Mu and Ning Hongchen had similar ideas.

Regardless of Qi Lingyun's purpose, this is an opportunity for everyone in the Great Xuan Taiping Division.

Leaving aside the gains after finding Falling Star Abyss, the process of searching alone can be a valuable experience for everyone.

"I don't know where the end of heaven and earth is, but I can point you in a direction to find it."

At the edge of heaven and earth lies the point where the realms of Yin and Yang meet.

Qi Lingyun said.

"Isn't that the place where the outer realms used to be?" asked Marquis Jin.

"If it were that simple, what would we need you for? Although the outer realms could lead to the Void Realm, it was just a passage."

For example, if the Saha world is a piece of paper, we are on the front and the Void Realm is on the back. The location of the outer realm in the past was not the edge of the paper, but rather a hole in the paper.

The place you're looking for is the actual edge of the paper.

Qi Lingyun explained.

"So, if we just keep walking in one direction, will we be able to find Falling Star Abyss?"

Marquis Jin and the others pondered and asked.

"Theoretically possible, but practically impossible."

Qi Lingyun said, "We don't know how big the Saha world is, but I can tell you that even a Celestial Venerable who flew at full speed for a hundred years could not reach the end of the world."

Moreover, this world may not necessarily be the flat shape we see.

Therefore, going in one direction continuously will not work.

Of course, you can try; maybe you'll get lucky and find it.

Everyone frowned involuntarily.

This matter seems to be much more difficult than they imagined.

There's only one name, how can I find it?

Given the current situation, finding Falling Star Abyss is undoubtedly harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

"actually--"

Qi Lingyun drew out her words and said slowly, "There is another simple way to find Luo Xingyuan."

"Can you just say it all in one go?"

Shi Binbin was incredibly audacious, daring to speak even to the Heavenly Venerable.

"Five Elements Mountain".

Qi Lingyun was not offended and said calmly, "The Five Elements Mountain is the weapon of the Great Celestial Venerable. It may have some connection with the Great Celestial Venerable. It may be able to guide you to the Falling Star Abyss."

There was once a rumor that the Seventy-Two Thieves had been to Falling Star Abyss, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Qi Lingyun's gaze fell on Ning Hongchen.

Ning Hongchen remained expressionless and coldly replied, "I haven't been there."

"There is no guidance from Wuxing Mountain either."

Su Mu chimed in.

He never felt any guidance on the Five Elements Mountain.

If there were such a person, Su Mu would have gone long ago.

To be honest, Su Mu was quite curious about this legendary Great Celestial Venerable.

"The simplest way to find the Falling Star Abyss is to conquer the Void Realm and turn this Saha World into a pure Yang world. Then the Falling Star Abyss will naturally appear."

Ning Hongchen added a sentence.

He glanced at Su Mu as he spoke.

To transform this Saha world into a pure Yang world, Su Mu must take action.

Without Su Mu's intervention, no one in the world could forge 360 ​​divine weapons of destiny.

However, Su Mu's attitude toward this matter is somewhat ambiguous.

Ning Hongchen did not dare to pressure Su Mu too much.

If Su Mu is really pushed too far, he might actually become rebellious.

"Try your best to find it. If you can find it, great. If you can't, it's okay too."

Su Mu did not respond to Ning Hongchen's words, but instead spoke calmly.

He gave Qi Lingyun and Ning Hongchen a deep look.

Pure Yang World, Falling Star Abyss, Great Celestial Venerable...

The fact that they care so much about these things means that there must be some big secret hidden in them.

Su Mu doesn't want to get too involved right now.

Even if he were to conquer the Void Realm one day, he would still have to carefully consider whether or not to transform Yin into Yang and turn the Saha World into a pure Yang world.

Just as they were discussing Falling Star Abyss, Lei Tianzun's voice suddenly rang in Su Mu's ear.

"somebody is coming."

Su Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lei Tianzun with his arms crossed, staring blankly in one direction.

At that moment, a glimmer of light appeared in that direction and was rapidly approaching them.

"Lord Lei, can you tell who it is?"

Su Mu moved swiftly and arrived beside Lei Tianzun, asking a question.

"A nobody at the Heavenly Fate Realm, I don't know him."

Lei Tianzun said calmly, "Don't touch Falling Star Abyss, people will die."

He uttered nine words, his voice so soft that only Su Mu could hear them.

Su Mu turned his head and glanced at Lei Tianzun with some surprise.

Lei Tianzun kept his eyes straight ahead, as if those nine words hadn't been spoken by him at all.

Su Mu couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

With Lei Tianzun's strength, what could possibly make him so wary?

Is he using this method to remind himself who he's guarding against?

Ning Hongchen? Or Qi Lingyun?
Logically speaking, neither of these two people deserves to be treated with such caution by Lei Tianzun.

Qi Lingyun's strength used to be similar to Lei Tianzun's, but now Qi Lingyun might not even be able to defeat Su Mu, let alone Lei Tianzun.

But apart from these two people, there was no one else present who could make Lei Tianzun do that, right?

Although Su Mu had some doubts, he also knew that even if he asked Lei Tianzun, he wouldn't say much.

Moreover, that expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm is already right in front of us.

The seemingly insignificant figure in Lei Tianzun's words was, in the eyes of the people of the Great Xuan Dynasty, an absolute powerhouse.

Seeing the powerful expert at the Fate Realm descend from the sky, everyone tensed up and involuntarily gripped their weapons tightly.

The newcomer was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with handsome features and a refined demeanor.

After landing, he bowed respectfully to Lei Tianzun and said, "This junior, Liu Rufeng, greets Lei Tianzun."

Lei Tianzun merely glanced at the other party without uttering a word.

Lei Tianzun merely smiled faintly at his disdain before turning to Su Mu.

"You must be Su Mu."

He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I have come here to deliver an invitation to Brother Su."

Su Mu sized up the other party. This man, who called himself Liu Rufeng, had an unfathomable aura and even gave Su Mu a very dangerous feeling.

Su Mu had heard of most of the powerful beings in the Heavenly Fate Realm of the Yang Realm, but the name Liu Rufeng was completely unfamiliar to him.

This only shows that Liu Rufeng was too low-key in the past.

As for the reason for keeping a low profile, whether it's due to personal character or something else, we don't know for now.

"What invitation?"

Su Mu said calmly.

With a flick of his wrist, Liu Rufeng produced an invitation card in his palm.

"Not long ago, the Ancient Celestial Venerable, the Zeng Celestial Venerable, the Chen Celestial Venerable, and the Zhao Celestial Venerable jointly announced to the world their intention to recommend Brother Su as the Lord of the Yang Realm, to lead the many forces of the Yang Realm to fight against the Void Realm."

Liu Rufeng said seriously, "Brother Su should know about this matter, right?"

"know."

Su Mudao.

"Although you have the support of four Celestial Venerables, and Celestial Venerable Lei is also a close friend of Brother Su, this matter involves the entire Yang Realm, and there are still some Celestial Venerables who are not very familiar with your strength, Brother Su."

Liu Rufeng said with a smile, "So, the Celestial Venerables came up with a plan, which is to have Brother Su step forward to accept the challenge from all the heroes in the world."

"As long as Brother Su can defeat all the heroes, then the position of Lord Yang will naturally be well-deserved."

"Did the four Heavenly Venerables agree to this?"

Su Mu accepted the invitation but did not open it. Instead, he looked at Liu Rufeng and said...

"They had no choice but to agree."

Liu Rufeng said, "If they don't agree, even if you force yourself to become the Lord of Yang, you still won't be able to command the Yang Realm."

Even if four celestial beings intervened, they couldn't stop someone from outwardly complying while inwardly defying them, wouldn't you agree?

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Lei Tianzun, and only when he saw that Lei Tianzun looked noncommittal did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Lei Tianzun cannot control the thoughts of the major powers, what if he were to kill him in a fit of anger? Wouldn't he be wronged?
Lei Tianzun was renowned, and although Liu Rufeng was confident, he did not think he could compare with Lei Tianzun.

"Where did you set up the arena?"

Su Mudao.

“Brother Su, you are mistaken. It is not us, but all the Heavenly Venerables. My strength is too weak to be compared with the Heavenly Venerables.”

Liu Rufeng shook his head and said, "This arena will be temporarily set up at the True Saint Sect."

Firstly, the earliest mention of the Yang Master was at the True Saint Sect's cat-killing conference.

Secondly, if it were set up in the Azure Sky Sect, Brother Su might have some reservations.

Of course, if Brother Su doesn't even dare to go to the True Saint Sect, then choosing another place isn't out of the question. I will naturally convey your thoughts to the Heavenly Venerables.

"In that case, let's set up the arena in the Great Xuan Dynasty."

Su Mu said indifferently, and casually tossed the invitation back.

Liu Rufeng was taken aback. He had only been being polite, but he hadn't expected Su Mu to actually want to change locations.

Is Su Mu really not afraid of angering all the Celestial Venerables?

Moreover, where is this Great Xuan Dynasty located?
As far as he knew, the Great Xuan Dynasty was now like a stray dog...

"Yanzhou and Jingzhou will henceforth be part of the territory of the Great Xuan Dynasty."

Lei Tianzun said calmly.

"Isn't that the territory of Liu Tianzun and Wu Tianzun?"

Liu Rufeng blurted it out, but he immediately realized what he meant.

Having heard that the sects under Liu Tianzun and Wu Tianzun have allied with the Cangqiong Sect, their disciples have all moved to live at the Cangqiong Sect.

At first, Liu Rufeng found it a bit strange.

Now he finally understands.

Liu Tianzun and Wu Tianzun weren't involved in any of that ridiculous alliance; they were driven out by the Great Xuan Dynasty!
How could a small dynasty like the Great Xuan Dynasty manage to occupy the territories of two Heavenly Venerables?
No, the Great Xuan Dynasty definitely doesn't have that kind of strength; it must have been Thunder Celestial Venerable who made the move!

Lei Tianzun actually went to this lengths for Su Mu; it seems their relationship is much closer than he imagined!
Liu Rufeng felt a chill run down her spine, and her opinion of Su Mu secretly rose considerably.

He didn't know that Liu Tianzun and Wu Tianzun ended up in such a state because they wanted to assassinate Lei Tianzun, which had little to do with Su Mu.

Of course, if it weren't for their assassination attempt, Su Mu wouldn't have had the chance to save Lei Tianzun.

So in a sense, these two Celestial Venerables can be considered Su Mu's lucky stars.

"I understand. I will convey your request to the celestial beings."

Liu Rufeng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Let me ask you one more time, how many people have you sent to challenge me?"

Seeing that Liu Rufeng was about to leave, Su Mu asked another question. (End of Chapter)
