The God of Heavens

Chapter 157 Earth Coordinates
In the final level of the temple, which had transformed into a small world, light shone brightly, and peace filled the air. Celestial light wafted, auspicious clouds shone brightly, and divine light burst forth, resembling the majestic palace of an ancient god.

The moment Lin Yu stepped into the thirty-sixth level of the small world, a rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in like a tide, and every breath seemed to be inhaling and exhaling divine light.

His gaze swept across the sacred and ancient temple complex, eighty-one ancient temples scattered among the mountains, each exuding a unique Taoist charm.

The insights of ancient sages have been transformed into tangible characters, densely covering the top of the palace like a galaxy falling down, each character radiating the divine light of the Great Dao.

Each divine imprint shone brightly, vibrating slightly, resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and telling of ancient mysteries.

This is the most precious place of inheritance of the Feathered Divine Dynasty!
In its heyday, the Feathered Divine Dynasty commanded generals who had slain the Dao and soldiers who were powerful beings, its might shaking the cosmos. Within this highest temple, sages of past generations imprinted the scriptures and secret techniques they had comprehended throughout their lives, ensuring their eternal transmission.

Each lineage of a sage's inheritance is enough to establish a great religion, and yet there are so many here, scattered throughout the ancient halls. Even the lowest level of imprints comes from the hands of a sage, and there are even supreme inheritances of sage kings and great sages hidden among them.

One can imagine how glorious this immortal dynasty must have been after the passing of the Feathered Emperor. Kings were as numerous as clouds, powerful beings as abundant as rain, sages emerged in droves, and even quasi-emperors reigned supreme. Otherwise, how could it have gathered all the extraordinary constitutions of the entire universe?
Although these imprints are not as precious as the Imperial Scripture, they are still an inexhaustible treasure trove of knowledge, demonstrating the profound heritage of this once super-dynasty that ruled the stars.

The central hall is the most magnificent, with nine layers of buildings rising one after another, piercing the clouds. Above the hall, nine golden imperial characters float in the air, each character as heavy as a thousand pounds, shimmering with an eternal and undying light.

Lin Yu knew that this was the core inheritance of the Feathered Immortal Scripture, and that it was surrounded by crimson and purple light, which clearly indicated the presence of immortal gold. He stepped forward without hesitation.

Some treasures, even if you may not be able to use them yourself, can bring joy just by seeing them, and Immortal Gold is undoubtedly the best of them all.

Having been in Beidou for so long, all I've obtained is a little bit of Dragon Pattern Black Gold and Divine Mark Purple Gold. It's truly a disgrace to our generation of cultivators.

Stepping into the central hall, the walls are covered with divine patterns, winding like celestial script, shimmering with a faint light and exuding an ethereal aura. The divine patterns on the dome converge, swirling with celestial radiance, as if about to ascend to immortality.

His gaze was drawn to the monument in the hall.

The monument, with the Nine Heavens Crimson Jade King as its base, exudes a warm luster. Standing atop it is a whole piece of immortal gold, as smooth as a diamond, with divine marks extending outwards. Crimson light and purple clouds swirl around it, radiating eternal brilliance.

Divine Mark Purple Gold!

The celestial gold piece was about the height of a person, and it was densely engraved with the Immortal Ascension Scripture. Each character was like a cloud of celestial light, radiating divine brilliance, and feathers of light flew out from it, like a dream.

Here, powerful beings from the Feathered Divine Dynasty have arranged array patterns, connecting with the essence of the Central Plains Dragon Vein, transforming it into nourishment, and ensuring the immortal gold's longevity.

Nine ancient characters were imprinted on the top of the immortal gold, in a hazy and chaotic state, time seemed to stand still, and at this moment only the Daoist rhyme flowed, as if it had reached eternity.

Lin Yu stared at the nine ancient chaotic characters on the immortal gold, his spiritual power flowing naturally within him, creating a subtle resonance with the inscription.

The nine imperial runes suddenly burst into brilliant light, transforming into nine golden streams that entered his brow. This was the supreme technique that the Feathered Emperor had perfected to the extreme of the Feathered King Body.

The Feathered King Body is a rare physique. During cultivation, it is like a divine pupa undergoing metamorphosis. Each breakthrough in a major secret realm unlocks a divine treasure within the human body, giving it unparalleled advantages over other kings. Its potential is boundless, and it can transform into an immortal. In the Central Plains, it is known as the unparalleled king.

The ascension of the Feathered Emperor to the throne further propelled this physique to its peak.

The Ascension Scripture progresses step by step, unlocking the divine treasures within the body—a grand and dignified path. However, Lin Yu observed that the layout of this ancestral temple of the divine dynasty was basically about ascending to immortality by sacrificing oneself to help others. He wondered how his descendants had interpreted the scripture; it was utterly distorted.

Lin Yu felt that the array patterns here were basically similar to the Devouring Heaven Demon Art of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

The Ruthless Great Emperor and the Feathered Divine Dynasty are sworn enemies, so obtaining their ancient scriptures is nothing unusual. However, the fact that she managed to make this crooked path work shows that she truly deserves to be called one of the most talented women of all time.

After comprehending the mystery, Lin Yu reached out and pulled the entire Immortal Gold Stele from its base.

He had to take this piece of divine purple-gold with him, after all, he planned to take over the entire thirty-sixth level of the small world. Without the nourishment of the dragon vein, the immortal gold would find it difficult to maintain its immortal state.

Looking around, the faint image of a green bronze cauldron still remains on the altar in the center of the ancient hall. A broken bronze cauldron was once enshrined here for more than 200,000 years.

Lin Yu knew perfectly well that the bronze cauldron was later sent to Earth, and Kunlun Mountain absorbed the essence of heaven and earth from Earth in order to repair it, turning the ancient primordial planet into the end of the Dharma era.

Unfortunately, the plan failed, the Feathered God Dynasty was destroyed, and the Immortal Cauldron remained on Earth forever.

After carefully searching the thirty-sixth layer of the small world, Lin Yu discovered the star coordinates of four ancient life-bearing stars in an ancient temple. The blue one was Earth, the purple one was the Ziwei ancient star, and the coordinates of the other two were unknown.

These star coordinates are extremely valuable; with them, one can find their way back to Earth.

This is good news. With Lin Yu's current strength, he is capable of traversing the starry sky. However, he has been unable to set off because he did not have the coordinates of Earth's star system. Now that he has found this item, he can return to Earth at any time.

Although he didn't know many people on Earth, it was still Lin Yu's hometown in this world. He had been in Beidou for many years and still missed it quite a bit.

Furthermore, the descendants of the two human emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, on the ancient star Ziwei were robbed. Lin Yu obtained the ancient scriptures of these two human emperors, so he had to go and help them out. At the same time, there are many golden crows on Ziwei Star, which is also a major source of ingredients.

Passing through the deepest part of the ancestral temple, in a strange place, Lin Yu also found an altar capable of traversing interstellar space. However, the main body of the altar had been intercepted by someone and moved to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, which was probably the work of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

Only a short-distance teleportation array remains here. As long as the Divine Source Block is placed inside, a portal to the Ancient Forbidden Land can be opened, and then one can return to Earth by using the Five-Colored Altar there.

However, the Forbidden Zone of Desolation is too dangerous, and Lin Yu is not the ruthless man's brother. If he goes there, he might not come back. Therefore, it is better to take another route.

Over the next two weeks, Lin Yu traveled through all thirty-six small worlds, taking all the treasures he could carry with him, including the World Stone, and the entire world began to slowly crumble.

On the Central Plains, the collapse of the thirty-six minor worlds triggered an unprecedented tremor. An area spanning millions of miles collapsed into an abyss, the void twisted and shattered, and the apocalyptic scene sent chills down the spines of all who witnessed it. Powerful figures from the four great divine dynasties arrived at the scene immediately, and cultivators from various sects also came to investigate. For a moment, the sky was ablaze with light, and the auras of the powerful intertwined to create a chilling atmosphere.

"What's going on? How could the void collapse out of nowhere?" someone who witnessed the scene asked in astonishment.

"This place should have been a small, empty world, but now the World Stone has been taken away!"

An elderly man with white hair and beard gazed at the shattered void, his expression solemn as he spoke slowly. He was a supreme elder of one of the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Central Plains, possessing vast knowledge, and he saw through the clues at a glance.

"This seems to be the ruins of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Could it be that someone took away the divine treasures here?" someone exclaimed in a low voice, causing a great reaction.

The disappearance of the ancestral temple of the Feathered God Dynasty means that the ancient scriptures on ascension and the legendary cauldron for achieving immortality that may have been hidden there have already been obtained by someone else.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man in a golden dragon robe had a gloomy look in his eyes. He was the emperor of the Nine Li Divine Dynasty, and at this moment, his heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

"Investigate! We must find the person who took the World Stone!" The Nine Li Emperor coldly ordered, and the powerful figures behind him immediately scattered.

Meanwhile, the Taixu Realm was already in an uproar.

"The ancestral temple of the Feathered God Dynasty has been emptied? Who was the powerful figure who did this?"

"Thirty-six layers of small worlds! It is said that each layer contains supreme inheritances, and now they have all been wiped out in one fell swoop!"

"Could it be the work of a reclusive sage? Or... the power of an imperial weapon?"

The forum was abuzz with various opinions, speculations and rumors, and the entire Taixu Realm was in an uproar over this news.

In a secluded valley somewhere in the Central Plains, Lin Yu sat cross-legged in a makeshift cave dwelling, with thirty-six crystal-clear World Stones floating before him. Each World Stone contained the origin of a small world, and was now slowly merging into his Hellish Plane.

"The foundation of the Feathered Divine Dynasty is indeed extraordinary." Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly. This harvest far exceeded his expectations. Not only did he obtain the Divine Mark Purple Gold and the Feathered Immortal Scripture, but he also gained the coordinates of four ancient life stars. In particular, the location of Earth stirred up a long-lost ripple in his heart.

Suddenly, he frowned, sensing that someone was contacting him through the Void Realm. With a thought, he descended into a virtual space on a celestial star in the Void Realm.

Lin Yu's divine sense manifested in the Void Realm, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, with majestic heavenly palaces and floating immortal pavilions, as if he were in the real Ninth Heaven.

Ye Fan's divine sense followed closely behind, dressed in white, with his black hair flowing freely and his eyes flashing like lightning, clearly impatient.

"You know about the Feathered Divine Dynasty in Zhongzhou, right?" Ye Fan cut to the chase. "I remember you were in Zhongzhou, do you know what happened?"

Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly: "I'm the person involved, what do you think?"

Ye Fan was taken aback at first, then shook his head and chuckled, "I knew it was you." He looked Lin Yu up and down, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, "You've had quite a haul, haven't you?"

"It's alright," Lin Yu said casually. "There are quite a few ancient scriptures by sages, and also an imperial scripture."

"Another Imperial Scripture?" Ye Fan raised an eyebrow. "How many Imperial Scriptures do you have now?"

"The more of this, the better," Lin Yu chuckled.

He considered it in his mind: the two ancient scriptures of Taiyin and Taiyang, the Taihuang Scripture, the Ruthless Great Emperor's Devouring Demon Art and Undying Heaven Art, plus the newly obtained Feathered Immortal Scripture, and parts of the Western Emperor Scripture and Dao Scripture, were indeed far beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

"Oh, right, I also gained something." Lin Yu raised his hand and waved it, and a beam of light condensed in the void, transforming into a light blue star that slowly rotated.

Ye Fan's gaze froze instantly.

The blue light represented the ocean, covering about 70% of the Earth's surface. But when he finally saw the outline of the land, he was completely stunned—the shape, the distribution, were almost identical to the Earth he remembered!
"This is... a shrunken version of Earth?" Ye Fan's voice trembled slightly.

“Not bad.” Lin Yu nodded. “Inside the ancestral temple of the Feathered God Dynasty, I found the coordinates of four ancient life-bearing stars, one of which is Earth.”

"Can I go home now?" Ye Fan rushed forward and grabbed the light blue star, his fingers trembling slightly.

At that moment, he seemed to see his parents' faces, the nine dragons pulling the coffin atop Mount Tai, and that once ordinary world.

Seeing his excited expression, Lin Yu shook his head slightly: "We're still missing the Five-Colored Altar. Without the Five-Colored Altar, having coordinates alone isn't enough."

"What should we do then?" Ye Fan asked anxiously, his eyes filled with anticipation and anxiety.

"No rush," Lin Yu said calmly. "I'll take you back soon."

"Really?" Ye Fan stared intently at him.

“It’s true, of course.” Lin Yu nodded. “However, Beidou still has some things to take care of.”

Ye Fan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and finally nodded emphatically: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Lin Yu smiled, raised his hand and waved, and the scene of the Heavenly Palace gradually dissipated. The two people's divine senses returned to their respective bodies.
