The First Marquis of Daxuan

"That's it! I was wondering why there was always something about you that made me uncomfortable. So you're from the Great Luo Heaven!"

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said coldly, "Show your true colors, you can't hide them anymore."

Although he didn't know where Su Mu's guess came from, he trusted Su Mu.

Moreover, Ye Jiuding does indeed have several merits.

Previously, when Su Mu asked him to investigate Ye Jiuding's identity and background, he thought Su Mu just wanted to learn about this person.

Now he realized that Su Mu had long suspected Ye Jiuding.

Moreover, he realized what was happening.

On the day the Great Qian Dynasty tore apart the Luo Tian Formation, their experts could enter the Great Luo Tian. Who could guarantee that the experts of the Great Luo Tian could not enter the Great Thousand World?
Wasn't Su Mu originally from the Yokoyama sect, who came from the Saha world?

If Su Mu could do it, then the experts of the Great Luo Heaven could certainly do it too.

Perhaps that's why Su Mu was able to see through Ye Jiuding's disguise.

Because Su Mu also came from the Saha world to the vast world, their experiences were the same.

Ye Jiuding's expression shifted constantly. He stared intently at Su Mu and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

A Dao Realm expert could not possibly be the unknown Su Heng.

"Who I am is not important; what matters is who you are."

Su Mu said with a half-smile, "You need to think about one thing. If I were to shout now that there is a person from the Great Luo Heaven here, the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty would be very excited."

They were worried about not being able to investigate the Great Luo Heaven.

Ye Jiuding's face darkened.

He paused for a moment, then said coldly, "Do you dare to shout?"
Do you think your own identity can be exposed to the light of day?

As a powerful expert at the Dao Realm, you are hiding your true nature so secretly. I'm afraid you and the Great Qian Dynasty are enemies, not friends.

Moreover, if you shout now, you yourself will become cannon fodder for the Great Qian Dynasty.

"You can take a gamble."

Su Mu said calmly, "I'm betting on whether you have a better chance of escaping, or whether I, at the Dao Extreme Realm, have a better chance of escaping."

Ye Jiuding frowned deeply, his face ashen.

Strength is the most fundamental thing.

Even if Su Mu is really like him, living in the shadows, Su Mu is still stronger than him.

This military camp can keep him, but it may not be able to keep a Dao Realm expert.

“Since you and the Great Qian Dynasty are enemies, then the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps we can become friends.”

Ye Jiuding remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

“Friend, there’s no such thing as hiding your true identity or not daring to reveal it.”

Su Mu said calmly.

"I'm hiding my true colors, but do you think you can act openly and honestly?"

If your name really is Su Heng, then I'll write my name backwards!

Ye Jiuding sneered.

"My surname is Su, and I am the peak master of Hengshan Sect. Is there anything wrong with calling myself Su Heng?"

Su Mu said confidently.

Ye Jiuding sneered repeatedly; this was simply sophistry.

Just because someone is from the Yokoyama sect, does that mean they can be called "Yoko"?

"He's also from the Hengshan Sect, so why isn't his name Du Heng?"

Ye Jiuding pointed to the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect and said.

“I can be called Du Heng.”

"The shameless elder of the Yokoyama sect said."

Ye Jiuding realized that although the two people in front of him were Dao Extreme Realm experts, they did not have the demeanor of experts at all.

These are two shameless scoundrels!
Unfortunately, this is exactly the kind of scoundrel he fears most.

Because these scoundrels are not bound by any rules, they are capable of anything.

Moreover, they are the kind of people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

"You win."

Ye Jiuding sighed and slowly said, "You guessed right, I do indeed come from the Great Luo Heaven you speak of."

However, my surname is indeed Ye, and my real name is Ye Tongxuan.

As he spoke, the muscles on Ye Jiuding's face twitched, and his appearance gradually changed.

He transformed from a timid, unaffiliated cultivator into a sharp and ambitious young man.

Great Luo Heaven, Ye Tongxuan!

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect was shocked.

He had heard of the Great Luo Heaven many times, but this was the first time he had actually come into contact with a martial artist from the Great Luo Heaven.

That being said, Ye Tongxuan really does have some skill.

If Su Mu hadn't seen through Ye Tongxuan's disguise, even he, at the Dao Extreme Realm, wouldn't have noticed the slightest flaw.

This is perhaps the most unique aspect of the Great Luo Heaven Martial Arts.

The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect pondered to himself, suddenly realizing that compared to Su Mu, he, a seasoned veteran, seemed incredibly naive.

Su Mu managed to extract Ye Tongxuan's true identity with just a few words, a skill that surpasses even Su Mu's.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect knew he couldn't achieve the same effortless ease as Su Mu.

"Now that you know my true identity, tell me, do you want to fight me to the death, or do you want to cooperate with me to deal with the Great Qian Dynasty?"

Ye Tongxuan stared at Su Mu, and he realized that Su Mu was the one who truly held the power here.

Ye Tongxuan was secretly annoyed. He should have noticed something was wrong when the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect chose Su Mu to serve him, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he took the initiative to offer himself up, thinking that he could take advantage of the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.

Little did he know that he was nothing more than a clown in other people's eyes!

However, judging from their expressions, they didn't really intend to fight to the death with me; they clearly didn't have any goodwill towards the Great Qian Dynasty.

"So, you really have a way to disrupt the Great Qian Dynasty's plans?"

Su Mu didn't answer but asked a question instead.

“Apart from my identity, everything I said before is true.”

Ye Tongxuan said solemnly, "I have investigated the Great Qian Dynasty since I came here. Every time they conquered a world, they would plunder all the resources of that world. If the people of that world were unwilling to hand over the resources, they would be slaughtered by them."

These are a group of invaders!
Our Great Luo Heaven must never fall into the hands of such people.

Even if the army of the Great Qian Dynasty enters the Great Luo Heaven, they may not be our match, but once war breaks out, countless brave men will die in battle.

We don't want such a vicious bunch to kill our own sons.

Therefore, I must stop the army of the Great Qian Dynasty from entering the Great Luo Heaven.

Ye Tongxuan explained his reasons for wanting to do this.

Su Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted his explanation.

"Even if you disrupt the Great Qian Dynasty's plans, it won't matter. If they can set up a plan once, they can set it up a second time."

Su Mu said slowly, "You are only deceiving yourselves by hiding in the Luo Tian Formation."

"If they set it up a second time, I'll sabotage it a second time!"

Ye Tongxuan said, his neck stiff.

"I ask you, does your Great Luo Heaven truly hold the secret of eternal life?"

Su Mu suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"So what if there is, and so what if there isn't?"

Ye Tongxuan said.

"That's it."

Su Mu sighed, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. You have such a secret, yet you want to hide it. How is that possible?"
A war between you and the Great Qian Dynasty is unavoidable.

The only thing you can do is defeat the Great Qian Dynasty and make them dare not covet the Great Luo Heaven again.

Or perhaps, if you voluntarily hand over the secrets, the Great Qian Dynasty might be in a good mood and let you go.

Ye Tongxuan frowned, knelt down and begged for mercy, pleading for the enemy's forgiveness. How could that be possible?
The Great Luo Heaven will never be a slave!

"Even if I do nothing, the Great Qian Dynasty will have to pay a heavy price to break our Luo Tian Formation. At that time, how much ability will the Great Qian Dynasty have to fight against our Great Luo Tian?"

Ye Tongxuan said in a cold voice.

"Then you'll have to ask the Great Qian Dynasty."

Su Mu said calmly.

"The Great Qian Dynasty is also your enemy. Don't you understand the Great Qian Dynasty's true strength?"

Ye Tongxuan said in a deep voice, "If you cause trouble for the Great Qian Dynasty, will the Great Qian Dynasty not have time to attack the Great Luo Heaven?"

"Theoretically, yes, but why would we cause trouble for the Great Qian Dynasty? We'd love for the Great Qian Dynasty to fight you to the death."

Have you ever heard the saying, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits"?
Do you understand the saying "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind"?
We are now like the fisherman, unaware of the oriole.

Su Mu said with a half-smile, "Your Great Luo Heaven is still a bit short of using us as pawns."

"Let's be frank. Tell me straight, what do you want in return for your help in dealing with the Great Qian Dynasty? In your words, it's an alliance."

Ye Tongxuan was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

Su Mu looked at Ye Tongxuan with a curious expression on his face.

What exactly is the Great Luo Heaven?
Are there no power struggles there?

Ye Tongxuan didn't even have the most basic understanding of forming alliances.

However, Ye Tongxuan doesn't seem like an innocent and naive person. The Great Luo Heaven is probably not a peaceful paradise without strife.

This only made Su Mu more curious about the Great Luo Heaven.

Could it be that this Great Luo Heaven is a unified world?

Moreover, Ye Tongxuan seemed to care a lot about the casualties in Da Luo Tian, ​​and was even unwilling to go to war with the Da Qian Dynasty.

It sounds like the Great Luo Heaven is truly a peaceful world. Unfortunately, possessing such a treasure can be a crime.

A world that holds the secret to immortality can never be at peace.

There will always be greedy people who want to seize the secret of immortality.

Just like the current Great Qian Dynasty.

Emperor Qian has gone mad for the secret of immortality; he will stop at nothing to break through the Great Luo Heaven.

In this situation, anyone who wants to stop the Great Qian Dynasty will become its enemy.

Su Mu wouldn't be willing to get involved in this kind of thing without sufficient benefits.

He had no interest in the secret of immortality, nor did he want to confront the insane Emperor Qian for the sake of the Great Luo Heaven.

"Tell me, what benefits can you offer me?"

Su Mu looked at Ye Tongxuan and said slowly, "Your Great Luo Heaven doesn't want any casualties, and neither do I."

If I were to help you restrain the Great Qian Dynasty now, I would have to pay a considerable price.

I have no relation to you, so I can't possibly make my brothers risk their lives for your sake, can I?

Even a fool wouldn't do something that doesn't bring them any benefit.

"Yes."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect also chimed in, "If you want to form an alliance, you should first show us your sincerity."

"understood."

Ye Tongxuan nodded, "You also want the secret to immortality."

His expression turned somewhat grim.

This truly is a situation where we're caught between a rock and a hard place.

These guys are all coveting the secret of immortality in the Great Luo Heaven.

How are they different from the Great Qian Dynasty?

"You're taking advantage of our misfortune!"

Ye Tongxuan said coldly.

"you are wrong."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "I have no interest in your so-called secret of immortality."

He looked at Ye Tongxuan and sneered, "If this secret of immortality were true, your Great Luo Heaven would have already produced immortals."

"If someone were truly immortal, even if they were dull-witted, with the accumulation of countless years, their strength would have long since reached an astonishing level. How could they possibly fear a mere Great Qian Dynasty?"

Ye Tongxuan remained silent.

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect also sneered twice.

Even if they really exist, they might not be able to obtain them. Such secrets can only be accessed by those who are destined to find them.

In my opinion, the entire Great Luo Heaven is devoid of such affinity.

"This is what the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said."

Ye Tongxuan's expression turned even uglier.

Clearly, the Grand Elder of Yokoyama Sect had exposed his last shred of pride.

The Great Luo Heaven may hold the secret to immortality, but even the people of the Great Luo Heaven themselves have never found this secret.

If outsiders find out, they will be even more embarrassed.

Compared to the fact that the Great Luo Heaven was breached by the Great Qian Dynasty, this was an aspect they cared about even more.

"Alright, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you anymore."

Su Mu said impatiently, "You pay, and we'll do the job for the money."

"If you offer enough, I can help you delay the Great Qian Dynasty for a while."

"money?"

Ye Tongxuan frowned, seemingly not quite understanding why Su Mu, a Dao Extreme Realm expert, would need money.

"Spirit stones, rare and precious materials, martial arts techniques, elixirs, weapons, anything is fine."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect explained on Su Mu's behalf.

The money they were talking about wasn't the kind of gold and silver that people in the secular world talk about, but rather the "currency" commonly used in the martial arts world.

Ye Tongxuan then understood.

Their culture in the Great Luo Heaven is completely different from that of the rest of the world.

In the Great Luo Heaven, everything is arranged and coordinated by those above, so asking for money is completely useless to them.

What cultivation techniques to practice and how cultivation resources to be allocated are all predetermined.

It wasn't until he arrived in the vast world that Ye Tongxuan realized that cultivation could be like this.

It turns out that martial artists can acquire cultivation resources with their own hands.

It turns out that some people would fight each other for cultivation resources.

This is something that almost never happens in their Great Luo Heaven.

Everyone in Da Luo Tian is a martial artist, and each person receives different resources based on their aptitude. Everyone will work for Da Luo Tian.

What he took for granted was inconceivable in the vast world.

Ye Tongxuan even had some doubts about whether the decision made by the higher-ups was right or wrong.
"I don't have any of the things you want."

Ye Tongxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "These things are all with the Eternal Heaven. I can only form an alliance with you if the Eternal Heaven agrees."

"Is the Eternal Heaven a person?"

"I asked curiously," said the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect.

"Yes, the Eternal Heaven is the patriarch of all of us in the Great Luo Heaven, and we all obey his orders."

Ye Tongxuan clenched his right fist and placed it in front of his heart, then said solemnly.

The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect and Su Mu exchanged a glance, their curiosity about the situation in Da Luo Tian growing even stronger.

It sounds like the Great Luo Heaven is truly a unified world, where someone can command the entire world.

This is something that even Emperor Qian and the sect leader of Yanfu Sect could not do.

Even a powerful celestial being like him couldn't command everyone in the Saha world when he was in it.

Becoming the supreme ruler of a world is easier said than done.

No matter how strong you are, there will always be people who don't want to obey your orders.

There are always some people in this world who are not afraid of death.

This Great Luo Heaven actually gave birth to a supreme being who was the only one who mattered, and even gave him the name Eternal Heaven.

"Is this Eternal Heaven an immortal being?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

"No, the Eternal Heaven is passed down from generation to generation. The current Eternal Heaven is the ninety-ninth generation of the Great Luo Heaven."

Ye Tongxuan said, "Since the beginning of the Great Luo Heaven, the Eternal Heaven has led the people of the Great Luo Heaven forward. Without the Eternal Heaven, there would be no Great Luo Heaven as we know it today."

When Ye Tongxuan spoke of the Eternal Heaven, his face was filled with admiration and respect.

Putting everything else aside, the brainwashing ability of this Eternal Heaven must be top-notch, to be able to make a peak Dao Source Realm expert so convinced of him.

"So, whether or not an alliance can be formed is not up to you; it requires the word of the Eternal Heaven?"

Su Mu slowly said, "Now you need to use our power to stop the Great Qian Dynasty from destroying the Luo Tian Formation, but you can't make the decision yourself. If you want to ask the Eternal Heaven, you have to return to the Great Luo Tian Academy. This means that the Great Qian Dynasty has to break the Luo Tian Formation."

Doesn't this create a vicious cycle?

Ye Tongxuan remained silent for a long time.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "The Luo Tian Grand Formation is only aimed at you."

I am a person of the Great Luo Heaven, and I have my own way of entering and leaving the Luo Heaven Formation.

"I can take you to see the Eternal Heaven!"

Su Mu and the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming somewhat solemn.

Enter the Great Luo Heaven to see their Supreme Eternal Heaven.

It must be said that Ye Tongxuan's suggestion was very tempting.

One Great Luo Heaven has restrained the two largest forces in the Great Thousand Worlds.

Both the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect were trying their best to find out the situation in the Great Luo Heaven.

If they could meet the leader of the Great Luo Heaven, they would probably be on the verge of reaching the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect.

However, this also carries significant risks.

It should be noted that the Dao-Extreme Realm experts of the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect are currently trapped in the Great Luo Heaven, their fates unknown.

This Great Luo Heaven is not a benevolent place.

If they follow Ye Tongxuan into the Great Luo Heaven, no one can guarantee that the two of them will be able to return safely.

If they can't reach an agreement with the Eternal Heaven, they'll be walking into the lion's den.

No one knows what level of cultivation Changshengtian possesses right now. Even Su Mu and the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect dare not say that they can come and go as they please.

"I'll listen to you."

The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect looked at Su Mu and said in a deep voice.

Su Mu saved his life, so even if he lost it, it wouldn't be a loss.

Su Mu looked at Ye Tongxuan and said slowly, "If you enter or leave the Luo Tian Formation, won't it alert the people of the Great Qian Dynasty? They are currently researching how to break the formation."

"will not."

Ye Tongxuan said in a deep voice, "They haven't even grasped one tenth of the mysteries of the Luo Tian Grand Formation!"

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll go and see your Eternal Heaven."

I hope he won't let me down.

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then spoke. (End of Chapter)
