In the world of "Covering the Sky," my cultivation technique is not right.

"Ruyu knows this, so she won't let the Holy Son nurture her for nothing."

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear the price the demons offer. If it's reasonable, I might as well sell myself."

"The demon race is our ally. If the Holy Son gives any order, the demon race will surely assist us."

"Behind me is the Holy Land of Yao Guang, and I myself am no weaker than a great power. This is of little use to me."

"If necessary, the Holy Son can borrow the Chaos Green Lotus?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lü Yao said, "This is a significant matter."

Even if he has the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron and finds the Devouring Demon Pottery, what if it's not enough? Nobody complains about having too few nuclear warheads.

“Every year, or every few years, Ruyu will reclaim the Emperor’s Heart and collect his essence blood. The Holy Son will receive one drop each year.”

"How much?" Lu Yao thought he had misheard. Last time, he had easily extracted six drops.

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but if you take too much essence blood, it will damage your foundation. Moreover, this essence blood is of the highest quality for tempering the body, nourishing the primordial spirit, healing wounds and saving lives."

"Ten drops every year, I'll let you collect them once every five years. As my cultivation deepens, a single retreat might last a year, so I can't see you whenever I want."

"Three drops, that's the limit, otherwise this matter is off." Yan Ruyu wasn't like Ye Fan, who used the Azure Emperor's heart as a perpetual motion machine, squeezing out a dozen drops every half month, until the Azure Emperor's heart couldn't take it anymore and ran away.

In the long run, by constantly tempering her physique with the essence of the Azure Emperor, she will eventually possess a body of exceptional talent.

"Then so be it." Lü Yao agreed. Anyway, it was on him, and he could use some tricks to get more without Yan Ruyu knowing.

"Furthermore, whoever wins the Emperor's heart shall become a Daoist partner with Ruyu." Yan Ruyu's voice was like a clear spring, pure and bright.

"This..." Lu Yao was speechless. So it's finally happening? Why is it that ever since he became the Holy Son, everyone's been lusting after him?

The Holy Lord of the Wind Clan was alright; he merely expressed his appreciation, but the Phoenix was not willing.

Yan Ruyu laid her cards on the table.

Yan Ruyu stared intently and resolutely into Lü Yao's eyes.

In fact, she had no intention of bringing up the matter directly; she only wanted to use the exchange to allow someone to nurture the emperor's heart.

Later, under Qin Yao's persuasion, and thinking about the matter of a Daoist partner, he found that the Holy Son of Yao Guang was extremely suitable. He thought it would be better to just be frank. The demon race has always been bold and clear about love and hate. If you have a thought, just say it!

When Yan Ruyu formally brought up the matter, Lü Yao said seriously, "Princess Yan, please forgive my bluntness, but my Daoist partner is not just about these things."

“Son of God, please speak frankly.”

He pointed to the delicacies and fine wines on the table and continued, "The path of cultivation is extremely difficult at every step. If Princess Yan cannot keep up with my pace, and one day her lifespan ends, I will only be able to look at her white bones and shed tears. This is not a fortunate thing."

Isn't that the female saint who admired Emperor Wushi just like that? She could never catch up with Emperor Wushi's footsteps in her entire life, leaving behind only a lonely grave.

If she had a different kind of cultivation to attain enlightenment, then the outcome would be different, and she would have a different ending from Wushi.

Yan Ruyu met his gaze directly: "It is a fact that Ruyu's aptitude is inferior to that of the Holy Son, but with the Emperor's will of our ancestors, this is not something that cannot be changed."

Yan Ruyu didn't finish speaking, but Lü Yao understood what she meant: by constantly nurturing his body with the essence of the Demon Emperor, he would eventually develop a superior physique.

Yan Ruyu's talent is not bad, otherwise she would not have been recognized by several demon kings in the Eastern Wilderness and become a demon princess. She and Ji Haoyue should be on par and be classified as third-rate.

When he arrived at the Azure Dragon King's secret realm and saw Yan Ruyu, she was in good health.

Therefore, Ji Haoyue should have only injured Yan Ruyu before, but not seriously injured her. The Peacock King and his Tai Xuan Sect group just made things sound more serious so that their actions would appear more righteous.

Lu Yao slowly tapped the table with his fingers, the "thump-thump" sound mixed with the sound of flowing water, which made Yan Ruyu a little irritated.

Lu Yao was thinking about something else. Before verifying this matter, he would not allow the Azure Emperor's heart to exist in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Amidst the rushing water, the two remained silent for a long time. Lu Yao, lost in thought, unconsciously raised his jade pendant and reached out to pick up some food.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu went mad and suddenly snatched his jade pendant, slamming it on the table with a "bang": "Ruyu is a demon, capable of both love and hate. Since the Holy Son is unwilling to be my Daoist partner, please leave the secret realm as soon as possible."

She suddenly felt a surge of anger.

Lu Yao was taken aback. Yan Ruyu had always been a noble and elegant person. This... this is not Qinglian, this is a female leopard, isn't it?

"I was just thinking about something. Since Princess Yan is a descendant of the Azure Emperor, should she cultivate the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor?"

His main purpose in coming here was to rescue Pang Bo and obtain the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor, which was the most crucial step for him as one of the Five Emperors of the Dao Palace.

If the Demon Emperor's Nine Slashes can still form the phantom of an emperor, then it proves that the Devouring Heaven Immortal Technique can feed on the ancient race's techniques, not just human techniques.

"Yes."

Lu Yao said, "I want the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor."

"What do you need this for?" Yan Ruyu's anger came and went quickly.

"secret."

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu did not hesitate: "I swear I will not tell anyone."

He just wanted to test Yan Ruyu's thoughts; he'd never heard of someone rushing to become a Daoist couple and sending a dowry.

But now, this little rich woman's behavior has left him somewhat taken aback.

But he immediately made a vow, swearing not to reveal the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart to anyone.

In the emerald green water of the pond, several crimson carp swam, each with tiny dragon horns on its forehead, as if they would transform into dragons when the wind and rain came.

A gentle breeze blew, ruffling Lü Yao's hair. The warm sunlight made him feel cozy, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time, having been searching for various scriptures and treasures.

Yan Ruyu formed intricate hand seals, and a pool of turquoise water appeared between her brows, shimmering with light, from which nine blue characters emerged.

These were nine Emperor characters, unique to the Azure Emperor Scripture.

Chapter 127 The Strange Changes at the Tomb of the Underworld

Lu Yao sensed the nine Emperor characters appearing in his mind, and profound Daoist charm permeated the air.

He stared at Yan Ruyu for a few moments, but she did not look away: "Before I leave, Princess, you can plant the Demon Emperor's Sacred Heart in my Sea of ​​Bitterness. It's still early, so I'll leave first to study the Azure Emperor's Scripture."

Lu Yao glanced at the sun hanging in the sky and came up with a lame excuse.

Before Yan Ruyu imparted the teachings, he had been joking around with it, but now that he truly understood Yan Ruyu's thoughts, he couldn't quite describe how he felt.

"What a coward! It's just taking in a woman, what's there to be afraid of? Taking in a few more wouldn't be a problem either," Lü Yao scolded himself inwardly.

He then got up, left the table, and prepared to leave.

"Take this away now and place it in your life spring to nurture it." Yan Ruyu waved her hand, and with a clang, a crystal coffin-like object appeared beside the pond.

A heart is sealed inside.

If it's not the Azure Emperor's Sacred Heart, then what is it? Lü Yao coughed and put it away.

Just as they reached the boulder and Lü Yao's figure was about to disappear, Yan Ruyu's voice drifted over again: "In the letter from Old Peng King, he also mentioned something else."

Lu Yao paused, turned around, and asked, "What is it?"

"Old Peng King said that if the Holy Son has time, he can go to the Peng Clan in the Central Region to receive the ninefold inheritance of the Peng Clan's saints and obtain the Peng Clan's supreme secret technique, the Heavenly Demon Slaughtering Saint Technique."

"I understand." He had thought that the old Peng King would directly pass on his legacy to him.

He doesn't cherish the secret techniques left behind by a demon saint that much now, but he is very interested in whether the Peng Clan has the inheritance of the supreme Peng Emperor of the forbidden zone, or even a word or two left behind.

Yan Ruyu watched Lü Yao leave in a hurry and chuckled. It turned out that the powerful Yao Guang Holy Son had another side.

Lu Yao returned to his courtyard, but instead of continuing his cultivation or comprehending the Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor, he began to ponder some things.

With the ancient myriad races about to break free of their seal, the human race and the demon race will surely stand together.

In particular, he wanted to awaken the ancient royal family sealed away ahead of time, preferably within one or two years, these ancient royal children from millions of years ago.

If he advances to the Sendai realm, his combat power will likely reach the level of a Dao-Slaying King.

In this way, these ancient princes and princesses who are generally from the second level of the game are no longer suitable to be his opponents.

How to awaken the ancient race? A small black cauldron, about the size of a walnut, appeared in Lü Yao's hand, which he rubbed together.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me.

Why not go to the Dragon Nest and bring out the demon? When his demonic side takes over at night, throw him into the Dragon Nest, Fire Kirin Cave, Blood Phoenix Mountain, or other royal locations to force them to emerge.

However, the old man is also a protector of the human race and a prodigy with the talent to achieve enlightenment. What if these ancient royal families bring out ancient royal weapons to attack him?

So... we need to give the old man a divine artifact that can resist ancient imperial weapons.

As for the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart, he wasn't worried at all. He glanced at the small black cauldron in his hand, which lacked any imperial weapon's majesty.

With the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron, the Demon Emperor's Holy Heart could not stir up any waves within the Sea of ​​Wheels.

A day passed, and on the evening of the second day, Ye Fan, Hei Huang, and Tu Fei came to the door.

"Lu Yao, all the materials to break the formation have been prepared, and there's no chance of anything going wrong." Ye Fan lowered his voice, his face calm.

But Lü Yao could still hear the hint of excitement in his voice; this matter had been weighing on his mind for more than three years.

"Let's go." Without any hesitation, Lü Yao flew towards the Hall of Immortality in the sky with Ye Fan and the others.

The three people and one dog concealed their figures with the Boundless Array Pattern. Under the night sky, the Immortal Palace resembled a mysterious ancient mountain, suspended in the sky.

Ye Fan took out the Myriad Things Mother Cauldron and poured out more than twenty kinds of divine materials. Although these materials were not top-tier materials, they were still extremely precious.

In order to gather these precious materials, his net worth has shrunk considerably. He's now one step further away from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

He looked at Black Emperor with a pained expression: "Are you even sure you can succeed?"

Black Emperor's eyes lit up as he looked at the pile of rare materials on the cloud. If these things weren't useful, he would definitely have taken them all for himself.

Hearing Ye Fan's question, the Black Emperor squinted and said, "That goes without saying. A mere grand formation can't possibly stump me. If it were an incomplete imperial formation, it might even give me a headache."

Looking at the great array formed by the meteorite forest, Lü Yao knew that Dead Dog was not lying. His mastery of array formations was probably stronger than that of most cultivators in the Big Dipper.

"Let's begin," Lü Yao said, stopping the black dog from continuing to boast.

The Black Emperor dropped his smug expression, his eyes blazing with golden light, and deep within them seemed to float a small bell.

"Rise!" The Black Emperor shouted softly, and more than twenty kinds of divine materials transformed into streams of light, silently being sent into their respective positions.

Meanwhile, the Black Emperor rode the clouds deeper and deeper into the meteorite forest, sending the tortoise shells and black jade engraved with Dao patterns into the depths of the great formation. In addition, he buried more than a thousand catties of Origin into the void, and his figure disappeared from the sight of Lü Yao and the other two.

About half an hour later, Black Emperor reappeared from the meteorite forest, his dog face smug.

"Lord Lü, I did a good job, didn't I? All done!" The Black Emperor's bald tail left afterimages as it swayed.
