Since Xiao Chen saved the three Holy Lands, the remnant factions of the various Holy Lands and countless cultivators fleeing for Heavenly Star Island.
The originally bloody Heavenly Star Island welcomed a temporary peace, gaining some time to catch a breather.
However, everyone knew that this was just the calm before the storm. An even bigger storm was still slowly building up.
The Treasure Master would not leave things at that.
After all, the Treasure Master had taken the initiative to retreat from the Zodiac Hall and the eight Immortal statues on Myriad Fiend Island.
No one knew what the Treasure Master's true intentions were or what ulterior motives he had. ---
On the secret island where the Treasure Master's Residence was:
Religious buildings with dark colors and a dark style were erected all over the island. The walls of the black temples had strange pictures that had never appeared in the Kunlun Realm before.
Countless strange statues stood in a huge plaza in the center of the island.
A mysterious black cave in the plaza had an endless stream of cultivators being used as sacrifices. Horrified screams came from the depths of the cave before coming to a sudden stop. This made everyone's hair stand on end, making them tremble in fear.
The cave was actually an altar, an altar that no one had seen before. The Treasure Master silently watched the cultivators being pushed into the cave.
Aside from the saber scar on his face, no one could see his true appearance. It was like he was shrouded in fog, just like his mysterious identity.
From the start to the end, the Treasure Master's true appearance had always been a mystery.
Many black-clad old men stood at the edge of the altar, mending the complicated patterns. As cultivators poured in endlessly, a huge black figure appeared in the sky above the altar. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Many figures descended from the sky and landed behind the Treasure Master. The Young Treasure Master, Yi Ling, was among them. These were the Treasure Master's sons. However, they were adopted sons and not the real ones.
"Father, the strengthening of the Immortal statues is complete. We can all use our Magic Treasures now."
The Young Treasure Master, Yi Ling, took a step forward, excitement flashing in his eyes.
"We can use our Magic Treasures now?"
The Treasure Master turned around. His tone revealed some interest as he said softly, "This group of people moves really fast. Let's go over and take a look."
After he finished speaking, he opened his hands and a huge black screen enveloped everyone. Then, a black light flashed.
The next time the Treasure Master appeared, he brought his adopted sons to the Penglai Sea.
Yes, the maintenance and repair of the deity statues were all done by the cultivators of the Penglai Sea. Using the Puppet Pearl to imitate and refine the pearl was also the work of this group of Immortal Cultivators.
Seventeen Immortal statues hovered above the vast sea.
One by one, cultivators wearing magic robes and stepping on all kinds of magic treasures flew around the Immortal Venerable. From time to time, a ray of spiritual light would shoot out and enter the statue.
After experiencing the great battle, the Immortal statue was completely renewed, becoming even more powerful.
"Martial Granduncle, the Treasure Lord is here."
A disciple quickly flew to an old man and bowed respectfully. This old man was the only remaining Immortal Venerate Yun Chen of the Penglai Sea.
He was famous for his alchemy, and his alchemy fire had reached the pinnacle. His attainments in artifact forging were also quite deep.
Naturally, the task of repairing the Immortal statues was left to him.
Hearing that the Treasure Lord had arrived, helplessness flashed on Immortal Venerate Yun Chen's face. Then, he waved his hand and dismissed the disciple. Then, he turned into a beam of flowing light and arrived at the transportation formation of the Penglai Sea.
"Fellow Daoist Yun Chen, I heard that the Immortal statues can already use magic treasures. I have to credit you for this."
The Treasure Lord smiled as he flew out of the transportation formation and greeted Immortal Venerate Yun Chen.
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen did not say much. "Come with me."
The group followed Immortal Venerate Yun Chen and arrived at the place where the seventeen Immortal statues were.
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen waved his hand, and the Immortal Cultivators around the Immortal statues immediately scattered. Only the seventeen Immortal statues remained standing in the sea, looking at the group with cold gazes.
The statues gave off heavy Immortal Might. Even though they had been dead for millions of years, the might of these statues still made one's heart palpitate.
It was hard to imagine how strong they were when they were alive.
It was even harder to imagine what kind of enemy could make such strong Immortals unable to escape death in the end.
As an Immortal Cultivator, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen felt very complicated as he stood before these Immortal statues.
Only when the Treasure Lord revealed a displeased expression did Immortal Venerate Yun Chen recover his wits. Then, he took out the Puppet Pearl, and a beam of spiritual light shot out.
"Boom!"
An intense light burst out of the statues. The Treasure Lord's adopted sons were all knocked back.
Only the Treasure Lord and Immortal Venerate Yun Chen managed to remain safe.
The Treasure Lord's face, which others could not see clearly, revealed a satisfied smile. An ancient magic treasure flew out of every Immortal statue.
There were flying swords, war banners, bells, ancient mirrors …
"Not bad. With these magic treasures, the combat prowess of the Immortal statues increased by more than fifty percent. Oh, by the way, have you thought of a way to make up for the weakness in the heart? "
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen shook his head and said, "There is no way around that. That move of the Blue Dragon King is an attack that comes from the inside. No matter how the exterior is strengthened, there is no way to avoid that move. "
The Treasure Lord frowned and said, "How troublesome. Fortunately, he does not dare to use that move casually. Let's leave it at that, then."
"Father, when are we going to make our move and capture that group of people from Heavenly Star Island in one fell swoop?" the Young Treasure Master Yi Ling asked as he stepped forward.
The Treasure Lord looked at the Immortal statues and replied casually, "There's no rush. Use the treasure pearls first and familiarize yourselves with how to control the Immortal statues and use the magic treasures."
After the Treasure Lord left, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen went to the waist of a spirit mountain in the Penglai Sea. A cultivator lived there.
In a place where everyone in the Penglai Sea was Immortal Cultivators, this cultivator who was not from the Treasure Lord's residence was very different.
This person looked very old and haggard. He looked very dispirited. However, he had a resounding name — Xie Changtian!
That was right. This person was the good friend of the Thunder King back then. After the Thunder King died, he founded the Eternal Heavenly Sword School, Xie Changtian. This was the person that Xiao Chen once searched for. As Xiao Chen guessed, he was indeed in the Penglai Sea.
"He left?"
Xie Changtian did not say who he was. However, Immortal Venerate Yun Chen knew that Xie Changtian was referring to the Treasure Lord.
"He left. Just like before, he is still unfathomable, unfathomable. He did not notice that you did something to him, right? It is not easy to hide from him. "
Xie Changtian sipped on his wine, as though he was talking about something insignificant and trivial.
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen said, "He won't. I am the only Immortal Venerate left in the world. No one can detect what I want to hide. No matter how strong he is, he will not discover it. "
"Hahaha! You are crazy. For the sake of saving the Penglai Sea, two Immortal Venerates did not hesitate to die, seeking the Ghost Immortal Dao. However, you are personally sending the entire Penglai Sea to its grave."
Xie Changtian took a large gulp of wine and guffawed somewhat crazily. He seemed drunk and sober at the same time.
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen looked at this pitiful person and said sullenly, "Actually, I always wanted to know why he did not kill you. Instead, he wasted so many resources to help you extend your life."
Xie Changtian smiled and said, "It's fine. There is no harm in telling you. In any case, the situation is already set. He no longer cares about anything else. This is because in this world, only I have seen his true appearance. Only I know who he is. If he kills me, this news will spread to the entire world. "
"However, it does not matter. Even if his identity is exposed now, it will not change anything. The situation is already set. The destruction of the Kunlun Realm cannot be changed. What you are doing is pointless. "
Immortal Venerate Yun Chen took a sip of wine and remained silent, not objecting.
Those who had not seen the Treasure Master's true strength would never know how strong he was.
…
Sky Dome Realm, Ancient Desolate Land, Hidden Dragon Lake: Chu Chaoyun, who wore the uniform of the Tianwu Dynasty's Royal Clan, looked at the empty grave of the Tianwu Emperor without saying anything.
After helping Xiao Chen in the Kunlun Realm, Chu Chaoyun brought the Sky Dome Heart to this place, where he had stayed until now.
Chu Chaoyun was not here to reminisce. He did not have a good impression of the first-generation Tianwu Emperor at all.
That first-generation Tianwu Emperor was a sinner in Chu Chaoyun's heart, an enemy that he wanted to get rid of even if he did his best.
The first-generation Tianwu Emperor clearly possessed overwhelming strength. However, after establishing the Tianwu Dynasty, he left, not caring about anything.
To Xiao Chen, the Tianwu Dynasty was just like a toy in a game. Even if he knew that the dynasty was destroyed, he would not be able to do so.
Even if he knew that the dynasty was destroyed, all the members of the royal clan would die a miserable death without exception.
What was the point?
Since he did not put in the effort, why bother creating a dynasty? Did he not know the disaster that the destruction of the dynasty would bring to the royal clan?
That kind of pain and torture, the sorrow of hiding in the dark like a mouse, the other party would never understand.
Chu Chaoyun would never know that there was a person. Since he was young, people told him that he was the last bloodline of the Tianwu Emperor in the Sky Dome Realm. As such, he received all sorts of inhumane training.
Hatred burned in Chu Chaoyun's heart like fire. Two beams of light, one black and one white, quickly flickered around his body.
Black lines appeared on Chu Chaoyun's face, looking like demonic lines.
These were the negative effects of the clash between light and darkness. The pain that came from cultivating the state of primal chaos far surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.
Darkness and light were the two most opposing attributes in the world. Every time they clashed, the pain they brought could make one wish for death.
Chu Chaoyun closed his eyes. After a while, the black lines on his face slowly receded.
When he opened his eyes again, he revealed a calm and carefree smile.
Actually, most of the time, Chu Chaoyun did not care about anything. He was a forgetful person in the first place.
Whoosh! "
Many figures descended from the lake above. All the influential people of the Tianwu Dynasty's remnant races appeared.
If cultivators of the other Sky Dome Realm were here, they would be greatly astonished. These people were all major characters of the Sky Dome Realm.
"Young Master, Senior Leng Yue sent news. The eighteen Demon Monarchs received orders from the Dark Church's Church Master and are all on standby. They will enter the Kunlun Realm with just one command."
Chu Chaoyun nodded to indicate his understanding. "Very good. Continue to wait for orders. When they make their move, we will make our move as well."
After a pause, Chu Chaoyun suddenly added, "Don't touch the Xiao Clan's people. Kill all the other factions who block you. Once we make our move, we need to occupy the Sky Dome Realm in the shortest time possible. "
