The night was as dark as ink. A middle-aged man wearing a Xiezhi crown and a dark robe was sitting in a ruined temple on a small hill. He had a high nose and a high forehead. He had a beautiful beard on his chin. His lips were tightly pursed, and his eyebrows were like swords that slanted to his temples. One look and one could tell that he was a man of upright temperament.
The Left Imperial Censor of the Heaven Court, Ying Kuang!
His eyes were tightly shut at this moment, and he looked as if he had fallen asleep.
Silently, a mass of black fog spread out from the temple, gradually approaching him, and very quickly reached in front of him, but looking at it, he still did not notice it. Dozens of sharp claws stretched out from the fog. Under the weak candlelight, the claws were reflected on the wall, and then they slowly clawed at him.
However, at this moment, Ying Kuang suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light shot out. He said coldly, "Demons and monsters, how dare you spy on the divine item?"
Boom!
In the ruined temple at the top of the mountain, a white light was suddenly released, and the whole mountain top was illuminated as if it was daytime.
Ying Kuang Zhenyi stood up and looked down, and he saw traces of charred marks had appeared on the ground of the temple, and they drew out the appearance of numerous savage and strange ghosts. He frowned and said, "Demonic ghosts? The Emperor of the Mansion of Hell? How did the news spread so fast? "
He pondered for a moment and walked out of the temple. At this moment, the thick fog that originally shrouded the sky wall was dissipating, and a crescent moon was barely revealed. Within it, the figure of a delicate woman could be vaguely seen.
He looked up and sneered, "Even Deity Xi covets the Heavenly Talisman?"
After a while, a gentle voice was heard, "Left Imperial Censor, I haven't forgotten your kindness in the past. I just want to tell Left Imperial Censor that five hundred Patrolling Divine Generals, led by the Eighteen Celestial Lords, have descended to the Lower Realm to capture you. You must be careful."
As the voice faded away, the faint moon was soon covered by the dark fog again.
Ying Kuang sneered. Eighteen Celestial Lords?
In the past, the priests who rebelled against the Heaven Court might have been afraid of them, but they weren't afraid at all.
After stealing the Heavenly Talisman and descending to the Lower Realm, he was stripped of his Immortal Record. In his eyes, he no longer had any divine abilities or magic power. But in reality, no one knew that in his early years, he had obtained a strange treasure that could imbue the magic power of a cultivator into it. Although he looked ordinary, he had secretly cultivated a body full of magic power. Although it couldn't be said that he was omnipotent, he could go anywhere in the world.
Moreover, with the Heavenly Talisman in hand, he dared to fight even three thousand Patrolling Divine Generals.
There was another reason. This was not just his own matter. He was able to successfully steal the Heavenly Talisman, rebel against the Heavenly Courts, and successfully descend to the lower realms. There were actually people from the Supreme Sect helping him in secret.
Before the Celestial Thearch chose a prince who was suitable for the three Exalted Ones, he would definitely be fine, and the three Exalted Ones wouldn't let anything happen to him. Of course, the premise was that the heavenly talisman was still in his hands.
There were many people who wanted the Heavenly Talisman. Just Now, the Demonic Ghost was obviously a subordinate of the Emperor of the Underworld. He believed that as the news spread, there would be more such troubles.
He looked at the sky. He knew the Celestial Censor very well and knew that he wouldn't compromise so easily. Therefore, he still had a long time to complete his plan.
He took out a magic art and used an escape technique to escape through the underground and the river.
He didn't dare to fly into the sky because there were Celestial Lords on duty. If he showed himself, he would be discovered. Although there were Gods of Earth and Mountains and Rivers on the continent, their cultivation was relatively low and they might not be able to distinguish his identity.
There were millions of worlds and millions of stars in the world. However, under the rule of the Celestial Censor, there weren't many places that could avoid the Celestial Censor's pursuit. However, without the permission of the Celestial Censor, one wouldn't be able to reach the door.
Other than that, there was actually another place, and that was the Great Kun Divine Tree. The roots of this giant tree were connected to the universe, forming a world of its own. It was known as the World Stabilizing Pillar. It was said that after the primal chaos split apart, this tree had already existed. It was even half a disciple of a Supreme Elder, which was why the Heavenly Court didn't bother to restrain it.
As the Left Imperial Censor, Ying Kuang had read through many secret books of the Celestial Censor. He knew that the divine tree had another ability besides being able to connect to the universe. That was the purpose of his trip.
After a few months, he arrived at the foot of the elder wood. He saw a thick trunk that connected the heavens and the earth standing in front of him, and this was only one of the tens of millions of the divine tree's roots.
The divine tree had its own consciousness. When it sensed his arrival, a loud voice sounded, "Left Imperial Censor Ying Kuang? What are you doing here? I can't protect you. "
Ying Kuang said, "I'm not here to beg you to protect me. I just want to take a piece of the divine tree."
"How dare you!"
The Kun Wood seemed to be extremely angry about this. With a roar, heaven and earth shook.
Ying Kuang's expression didn't change at all. He reached into his sleeve and took out an item. He held it in his palm. A spot of light shone like a stream of light. It was barely visible that it was a talisman.
"Heavenly talisman?"
The voice revealed a hint of fear.
Ying Kuang said calmly, "If you don't want it, I'll take it myself!"
The divine tree instantly fell silent. After a long time, a broken branch fell from the sky.
Ying Kuang caught it and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you."
The voice seemed to be disgusted with him. "Leave, leave quickly."
Ying Kuang achieved his goal and didn't want to stay here any longer. He used his fingers like a knife and cut the branch into a talisman. He then put it in his sleeve and left.
With this item, he could use a secret technique to refine it when he was free to hide himself. Then, even if the Grand Supreme didn't protect him anymore, he wouldn't have to worry about the Heaven Court. He could go to billions of universes.
Just Now, when he arrived at the border of the border river, he saw an amiable-looking elder wearing a Daoist crown standing there. The elder smiled at him and said, "I knew that Left Imperial Censor would come here."
Ying Kuang said, "Who are you?"
The elder cupped his hands at him and said, "Five Liang Mountain's Yuxuan Cave, Qi Practitioner Zhao Yao. Greetings."
Ying Kuang said coldly, "You're here for the heavenly talisman?" He snorted, "You're just an itinerant celestial, how dare you covet this item?"
Zhao Yao smiled and said, "You are mistaken, Minister Zuo. This time, I was entrusted by someone to pass on a message. If Minister Zuo has nowhere to go, you can come to my Dao. In the universe, no one will be able to take you down."
"Quan Dao Lineage?"
The Quan Dao Lineage had only been established for a mere hundred years. It wasn't famous now, but as the Left Imperial Censor, Celestial Emperor's close subject, Ying Kuang had heard of it before. He knew that it involved two Grand Supreme who served in the side hall. He looked at him but didn't reply. He stepped into the border water and in an instant, he was already on the other side.
Zhao Yao looked at him leaving and said loudly, "Left Imperial Censor, you know that the heavenly talisman isn't that easy to get. When the battle for the throne is decided, you'll become an abandoned chess piece. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my Five Liang Mountain. I'll be waiting for you there."
Ying Kuang didn't even turn his head and left.
Another half a month later, he came to Tongdu Dayi. This was the land of the Zhou Dynasty in the lower bound. He found a secluded place outside the city and settled down. He started to refine the elder wood at the mouth of a spirit spring that was hidden there.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Two Daoists walked in from outside. They barged into the inner court and when they found him, one of them scolded, "Ying Kuang, why didn't you follow senior brother's words and go to Tianwu Mountain? Why did you stay in the mortal realm?"
The other Daoist added, "Left Imperial Censor, don't you know that it's easy to expose your whereabouts? If you're found by the Celestial Court, we can't help you because of the rules. "
Ying Kuang replied coldly, "How I, Ying Kuang, do things is none of your business.
"How dare you!"
The leading Daoist shouted angrily, "Could it be that you came back to the lower bound to steal the talisman because of your own ability? If it wasn't for the protection of the grandmaster's arcane energy, you wouldn't be here!"
Ying Kuang's face was filled with annoyance. A white light flashed on his body and before the two Daoists could react, they disappeared from the spot as if they had never been there.
Ying Kuang took out the talisman from his sleeve and saw a celestial book on it slowly fading away until it almost disappeared.
He thought, "As expected of a disciple of the Supreme Sect. Just by using it a little, there's one less celestial book."
Just as he was thinking, a voice came from outside, "If I were Left Imperial Censor, I wouldn't use this item."
Ying Kuang's expression turned serious and he asked, "Who's outside?"
Footsteps could be heard and a young Daoist dressed in a blue robe walked in. He bowed to him and said, "I am a Qi Practitioner from Mount Li Wang, Daoist name is Danguang."
"Mount Li Wang?"
Ying Kuang's expression turned serious. Another disciple of the Supreme Sect!
He was not afraid of the other party. As long as he had the Heavenly Talisman in his hands, no matter how high the person's cultivation was, he could still easily chase him away like before. However, with the interference of a Grand Supreme, it was very likely that his original plan would be disrupted.
He said coldly, "I know the consequences of using the talisman. I don't need Daoist to remind me."
Danguang nodded and said, "I've said too much. Since you are the Left Imperial Censor, I'm sure you know the implications of this item. However, I'm curious, why did Zuo Imperial Censor steal the talisman and descend to the lower bound?"
He originally thought that this person was already in cahoots with the Dao of Virtue. However, from the looks of it, his goal wasn't that simple.
Ying Kuang didn't answer his question. He closed his eyes and only opened them after a while. He asked, "Since Daoist is a disciple of the Supreme Sect, I have something to ask."
Danguang said, "Go ahead."
Ying Kuang stared at him and said, "Why has the ruler of the Celestial Court always been a person with the same surname since the world was created?"
Danguang was a little surprised. He didn't expect this question. He thought for a while and replied, "The Celestial Emperor is the ruler of the world and bears the fate of the heavens. He is favored by the world. The Hao Clan's fate isn't over yet and they have the support of the Dao of Virtue. The throne won't fall into the hands of others." He paused and said, "Since you asked about this, do you want to change the world?"
Ying Kuang looked at him and said slowly, "Why not?"
As if the world felt his treacherous words, there was a sudden rumble above their heads. The wind and clouds changed color and thunder rumbled.
Danguang couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect to have such thoughts. No wonder he stole the talisman. With this item in hand, it was possible. He then said seriously, "The Left Imperial Censor should know that the Dao of Virtue is protecting the Celestial Court on behalf of the Orthodox Sect. It's extremely difficult for you to do what you want. However, if you really want to do it, it's not impossible."
