Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 172 Anger
Despite the ancient people's boasting, when they truly face the imperial weapon, who wouldn't be afraid?
Regardless of whether the person in charge is weak or not, as long as they are hit by the Imperial Weapon, they will die. Just because it is a powerful person in charge does not mean that the Ancestral King cannot be killed.

These are imperial weapons; their power alone is enough to pierce through heaven and earth, without any rhyme or reason.

The peerless girl in the Divine Source was a generation of Ancestral King, proud and arrogant, but she also felt a strong threat when faced with four Imperial Weapons.

If any one of these imperial weapons were to hit her—no, let alone hit her, even a mere glancing blow would be enough to kill her.

Her mission is to wait for the birth of the Son of God and to break through the divine source in the battle. Regardless of the outcome, it does not fit her plan.

Due to an accident, the Child of God has long since disappeared, and it is unknown how long it will take to find her. If the divine source is broken, it would mean that her life is on a countdown.

If she can find the divine child in her lifetime, that would be fine, but if she can't find him even after her life ends, then she has failed in her mission.

In the Holy City, the emergence of four supreme imperial weapons brought peace of mind to everyone, easing their worries and fears.

"Why not just unleash the ultimate weapons and wipe them all out? Why just use them as a deterrent?"

"You make it sound so easy. If we did that, the land would be stained with blood, and a dark age would descend upon the Eastern Wilderness."

In fact, the various holy masters were still somewhat wary, fearing that if they unleashed their ultimate attack, there would be no room for maneuver.

They now hold the nuclear button in their hands. Pressing it is easy, but no one can bear the consequences.

Fortunately, the opponents were not particularly motivated to fight and were somewhat wary.

Finally, a terrifying voice resounded in everyone's hearts, saying, "Stop disturbing our peace!"

A massive black hole appeared in the sky, and they traversed the void, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"It's terrifying! These creatures are so powerful; being their enemy would be a nightmare!"

"Thank goodness they're gone!"

Everyone was still shaken and let out a long sigh of relief.

Above the divine city, the clouds and mist dissipated, and sunlight streamed down. Everything had come to an end; it all seemed like a dream.

Both sides suffered casualties in this battle, and there was no clear winner or loser.

But if we really break it down, then the human race definitely wins.

Digitizing life data may be cruel, but that's the reality.

The ancient race lost only three powerful figures, but all of them were Dao-Slaying Kings. In contrast, although the human race lost hundreds or thousands of powerful figures, the quantity could not compare to the quality.

It was a great victory, but no one was happy about it; instead, everyone felt heavy-hearted.

After today's battle, everyone has a premonition that the ancient race may not be far from emerging again.

For the human race, which has dominated the Big Dipper for millions of years, they certainly wouldn't want to see the ancient race emerge.

Because the emergence of the ancient race means that the distribution of resources must be redistributed, which is like cutting flesh from the sacred lands.

When the interests of the holy lands are affected, they will naturally demand more from those below them, which will make those powerful forces suffer. And if they suffer, the forces below them will not fare any better.

Li Yao pondered for a while, but couldn't find a solution. This was a matter for the future, and before it arrived, no one knew how things would develop.

In the original work, the focus was on describing the process of peace talks between the human race and the ancient race, but the division of interests was only mentioned in passing, so Li Yao was not clear about it.

"Thinking about these things now is pointless. Everything still depends on strength. If I have the strength to suppress everything, then naturally I can decide everything."

Li Yao's figure vanished from everyone's sight, but the feat he accomplished today is destined to shake the Big Dipper.

……

"Having truly entered Purple Mountain and successfully retreated, what exactly did the Holy Lands gain?"

"The Central Plains and the Eastern Wilderness jointly used five ultimate weapons. Their successful entry and exit from Purple Mountain must have been due to obtaining an unparalleled inheritance."

"Is the God King Jiang Taixu still alive? Has he been rescued?"

The city was in an uproar, everyone was talking about it.

That day, the whole city was in an uproar, and all sorts of rumors were circulating.

Some say that the sacred sites have obtained the secrets of the ancient emperors and seen the inscriptions of the Great Emperor Wushi.

Some people say that the people of Zhongzhou saw the remains of the Great Emperor Wushi, which remained intact and lifelike even after hundreds of thousands of years.

Some even say that the Great Emperor Wushi never died; he is sitting cross-legged on the Daoist platform inside Purple Mountain.

The immortal remains of the Great Emperor Wushi, the legacy of the Great Emperor Wushi, the Great Emperor Wushi living on the Dao Platform...

In the divine city, the four words "Emperor Wushi" became the most frequently mentioned term. On this day, everyone was discussing it, and opinions varied.

No one has ever had such a great influence; anything related to him inevitably becomes the focus of the world's attention.

In addition, there is another focus, which, although not as frequently mentioned as the Great Emperor Wushi, is still quite remarkable.

The Holy Lord of Yao Guang is an absolute legend. Everything about him has now been revealed, from his embarking on the path of cultivation, to his joining Hengyang Cave Heaven, to his rise to power in the Yao Guang Holy Land, and finally reaching the pinnacle.

People learned everything about Li Yao, and were so shocked they were speechless.

After twelve years of cultivation, he entered the forbidden realm of the gods and defied the Dao King!
It's like a legend in ancient history. Some enthusiasts compiled Li Yao's deeds into a book, then removed his name and placed his experiences in the childhood of any great emperor in ancient history. They were shocked to find that he was practically the young version of all the great emperors.

Even now, many emperors at this stage are not as good as Li Yao, only Emperor Wushi has a similar growth experience.

"Will the Holy Lord of Yaoguang be the second Emperor Wushi?"

This is everyone's guess, with most people guessing it's possible, while only a small minority remain skeptical, believing it's too early to draw conclusions.

The path of cultivation is long, and there are too many uncertainties along the way. Who dares to say that Li Yao will definitely be able to attain enlightenment, instead of perishing on this path?

Moreover, Li Yao is now facing another test: the Heavenly Barrier of Severing the Dao. It is not an easy hurdle to overcome. Throughout history, countless heroes have fallen at this hurdle.

The discussion about Li Yao lasted for several days before it finally subsided and was replaced by other news.

The capture of Zishan caused a huge uproar, and astonishing news has been circulating for the past two days, but it is difficult for people to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The God King Jiang Taixu is still alive!

The news sent shockwaves through the Northern Region and alarm throughout the Eastern Wilderness. This was the only confirmed true news; the others still awaited confirmation.

"A person who has lived for nearly five thousand years..."

"He was sealed off for four thousand years, and he actually survived!"

The city was in an uproar; many people were unable to remain calm. The news was too astonishing, and without a doubt, the biggest winner this time was the Jiang family.

Whether or not they obtained the Beginningless Scripture, the Jiang family could be said to have returned with a full harvest. It should be noted that the Jiang Divine King possessed the Battle Saint Technique, which was known as the supreme divine technique with the strongest attack power in the Eastern Wilderness!
"Incredible! To survive for four thousand years, the God King's life is truly tough. Now that the Jiang family has obtained the Dou Zi Secret, their strength will surely reach a new level."

No one could remain calm. The emergence of the "Fighting" technique from the Nine Secrets shook the Eastern Wilderness, and many coveted it, eager to seize it. The Jiang family was on high alert, guarding Jiang Taixu day and night with their supreme imperial weapons, fearing that someone might take advantage of the situation.

Jiang Taixu was indeed rescued, but he was practically dead. Not only was his physical body almost withered, but his consciousness was also nearly extinguished.

"Being trapped for thousands of years and lacking spiritual energy, it is already the greatest miracle in the world that they were able to survive!"

"The God King Jiang Taixu was once a man of great talent and vigor, who shook the world at the young age of twenty. However, when he reappeared, he was already an old hero."

Many people lamented that such a gifted person should have ended up like this.

Jiang Shenwang is too weak to be sent back to the Jiang family. His divine fire will be extinguished at any time. The only option is to send him into the Dragon Transformation Pool in the Divine City.

This pool is as ancient as the divine city, and it has miraculous healing effects. There are ethereal legends that it once gave birth to a real dragon, and it is now the only life-saving herb.

The Jiang family worked tirelessly, acquiring various medicinal herbs from their own clan and offering exorbitant prices to purchase life-saving methods from people all over the world.

It was no secret that Li Yao possessed the seed of the Qilin Immortality Elixir, a fact that had initially shaken the Eastern Wilderness.

The Holy Master of the Jiang family personally came to request the purchase of the divine medicine seeds, but unfortunately, Li Yao was in seclusion at the time.

He had already digested the Great Dao comprehension half a month ago. According to Li Yao's cultivation pattern, he should have entered the creation realm long ago. However, the matter of Purple Mountain was urgent, which is why he was delayed for half a month.

Therefore, after the Zishan incident, he immediately entered the realm of creation to begin comprehending the Taiyin Taiyang True Scripture.

Upon entering the realm of creation, his emotions would be suppressed. During this period, Li Yao would not see outsiders, at least not for the most severe half-month period.

The seed of the Qilin Divine Medicine was always carried by Li Yao, and the people of Yao Guang did not dare to make the decision on their own. Therefore, the Jiang family's idea of ​​purchasing the divine medicine failed.

This matter could not be kept secret and was quickly spread.

Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief; they did not want King Jiang to recover.

Among these people, some had a grudge against Jiang Taixu, while others simply did not want to see the Jiang family become too powerful.

In the title of "God of Civil War," if the human race claims to be second, no other race dares to claim to be first.

This is almost the norm for humans, because the number of races is so vast, scattered throughout the entire starry sky, that internal strife is inevitable.

This is not unique to humans; other races also have internal conflicts, but because their numbers are so small, the scale of these conflicts is not large.

Li Yao, who was in seclusion, was clearly unaware of all this; all his attention was now focused on the Taiyin Taiyang True Scripture.

Through continuous study and comprehension, his understanding of these two immortal scriptures may have reached a level comparable to that of Dongfang Taiyi.

Enlightenment!

Practice!

As Li Yao's understanding of the Great Dao increased, his cultivation naturally progressed rapidly, with no bottlenecks in his progress and his magical power growing stronger day by day.

The atmosphere in the city was clearly unusual in the past few days, with a sense of oppression lingering.

Because on the night of the second day after Jiang Taixu went to the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Divine City was greatly shaken. A top expert launched a night attack on the Dragon Transformation Pool, killing one of the Jiang family's elders and nearly breaking in.

If it weren't for the Hengyu Furnace unleashing its power and scaring away the enemy, Jiang Taixu would most likely have been killed.

The news caused a stir in the divine city and shocked all sides. Although everyone expected that many powerful forces would not want the God King to be resurrected, no one expected that someone would dare to take action.

Everyone understood that this would not end there; perhaps it was only the beginning. The resurrection of the peerless god-king had a huge impact, and many powerful forces did not want the Jiang family to obtain the Nine Secrets.

The Jiang family was on high alert, and mobilized a large number of experts, who guarded the Dragon Transformation Pool day and night with the Supreme Divine Furnace forged from Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold.

The assassinations did not stop. In the following days, people continued to try to kill the evolved dragon pool, taking advantage of Jiang Taixu's weakest moment, but all of them ultimately failed.

The Holy Lord of the Jiang family was furious and once again summoned a large number of powerful figures to surround the Dragon Transformation Pool, and personally took charge of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Furthermore, he declared that if he were to find out who was behind the attack, regardless of who they were or what faction they came from, they would all face the wrath of the Jiang family.

On this day, Li Yao, who was in seclusion, was awakened. In front of him, a piece of white jade was vibrating and emitting a dazzling light.

"An extremely urgent matter?!" He asked, somewhat puzzled, and waved his hand to open the palace door.

Outside the main hall, Weiwei, dressed in a moon-white dress, held a jade pendant in her hand, her face extremely pale.

"What's the matter?"

The palace doors swung open, and a cold, authoritative voice rang out.

"Your Majesty, please allow Weiwei to enter the hall to report." The girl quickly bowed, but did not immediately speak.

"Approved!" A voice rang out again from the main hall.

Weiwei rose, her lotus-like steps fluttering, and entered the main hall.

"What is it?" he asked again, his voice cold and authoritative.

It was the seventh day since Li Yao entered the realm of creation to comprehend the law. His emotions were suppressed, and although he retained some feelings in his heart, it was difficult for him to express them.

"Holy Lord, there's a problem inside the Yao Guang Holy Land." Weiwei said gravely, revealing what she had stumbled upon.

She actually had a piece of information about the assassination attempt on King Jiang, and she learned some of it.

The other party was very secretive, but as one of the four holy envoys, or even the most powerful holy envoy, Vivi already had her own team. It was difficult for anything that happened in the Yao Guang Holy Land to escape her notice.

Li Yao remained silent. When Weiwei revealed that someone from the Yao Guang Holy Land had participated in the assassination of Jiang Taixu, he immediately knew that the Supreme Saint lineage had made its move.

The lineage of the Supreme Saint was originally the lineage of the Ruthless Man, and had a grudge against the Jiang family. They wanted to use the Ruthless Man's legacy to control Jiang Yifei and infiltrate the Jiang family.

But in the end, their plan backfired spectacularly, resulting in a double loss. Not only were the powerful figures involved in the plan killed by the Jiang family's experts, but they also handed over the legacy of the ruthless man to the Jiang family.

This grudge is no small matter, and now that the Holy Lineage has the opportunity, they certainly don't want to let it go.

Even though he wasn't feeling particularly emotional, Li Yao still felt angry. His men had dared to cause trouble behind his back without his orders.

"It seems I really need to issue a warning," Li Yao thought to himself.

He was very dissatisfied with the actions of the Holy One lineage. They dared to act without consulting him, the Lord of Yao Guang, which showed that they did not respect him.
Perhaps this was common during the time when Li Daoqing was in charge of the Yao Guang Holy Land, but he was not Li Daoqing. He did not hesitate to take action to eliminate those who disobeyed.

Even though Li Yao did not value power, it did not mean that he would allow anyone to offend his authority.

The reason why the Holy One lineage acts this way is, in essence, that they do not respect the Holy Lord, or that they believe they are equal to the Holy Lord.

Just thinking about it made Li Yao feel even angrier, and his suppressed emotions were released.

"If you don't respect me, then I'll show you who the Lord of Yao Guang is."

I may not care about the identity of the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, but that doesn't mean you can be indifferent to it.
