Yi Yun originally believed that his greatest enemy in storming the Seven Star Dao Palace was the Seven Star Dao Palace's Palatial Lord. Be it the destruction of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect or the expedition to the Sun Burial Sandsea, only the deputy palatial lord had appeared. The Seven Star Dao Palace's Palatial Lord was a mystery.
Yi Yun did not know the Palatial Lord's cultivation level, but he was confident that even if he was temporarily not the Seven Star Dao Palace's Palatial Lord's match, he was confident that he could escape unscathed after severely injuring the Seven Star Dao Palace's Palatial Lord.
But now, the sudden appearance of the elder and the words he said left Yi Yun extremely surprised.
The elder sighed and said, "Sigh … The Seven Star Dao Palace's survival … Speaking of which, I do have to do something."
Suddenly, the elder's figure vanished from his spot. Yi Yun immediately turned wary.
Whew!
The elder's figure suddenly appeared in front of Yi Yun and struck out with his palm. Like a mountain crashing down, boundless and terrifying Yuan Qi enveloped Yi Yun's body.
So powerful!
The broken sword in Yi Yun's hand hummed as a sword beam appeared, stabbing straight at the palm!
At this moment, the battle between the two of them even caused the surrounding sea of clouds to disperse!
Peng Peng Peng!
The elder and Yi Yun retreated a few steps at the same time!
The elder was very strong.
He had managed to block Yi Yun's sword with just his palm.
"Again!"
Yi Yun's eyes burned with fighting spirit as the Three-foot Passage Sword slashed out with the Sword of Time!
The Sword of Time, which had fused space-time laws and pure Yang laws simultaneously, was like flowing water or raging fire. It came straight at the elder as though it came from ancient times.
The elder's eyes were as calm as still water. A saber suddenly appeared in his hand. The saber was as heavy as a mountain as it slashed down at the sword beam.
Boom!
The surrounding ground was immediately covered in cracks that resembled a spiderweb.
Yi Yun felt an excruciating pain in his wrist. His skin was being pricked by the Yuan Qi aftershocks that were like knives.
The elder did not have it easy either. Yi Yun's sword was extremely sharp and he became braver the more he fought. Each strike was stronger than the last.
The sword and saber flashes intertwined as a terrifying sound was produced. Even the immortal mountain beneath his feet was constantly quaking.
"Yi Yun is fighting someone!" At that moment, Jian Wufeng and company arrived. They could see the Yuan Qi constantly colliding with each other from afar.
The only person who could fight Yi Yun in such a manner was probably the Seven Star Dao Palace's palatial lord.
As for the palatial lord, his whereabouts were mysterious. Jian Wufeng and company had never seen him before.
"Truly, the younger generation will surpass us in time. I do not dare to believe that you are actually a member of the younger generation," As the old man spoke, he suddenly retreated three hundred meters and placed the saber back into his Space Ring.
Yi Yun was stunned. What was the elder doing? Was he not going to continue fighting?
The two of them fought for a while, but the victor had yet to be decided.
However, if they were to continue fighting, Yi Yun felt that he was inferior to the elder. After all, his cultivation level was lacking.
Although his Laws were outstanding, if he could not win by surprise, he would still fall into a disadvantageous position. At that time, he could only retreat.
The elder sized up Yi Yun and said, "It's no wonder you were able to stir up such a stir, making Liu Ruyi so apprehensive of you. You even managed to obtain the opportunities in the Sun Burial Sandsea."
"You asked me if I don't care about the Seven Star Dao Palace … Indeed, I don't care much about it. It's just that I heard of a junior like you and found it hard to believe, so I wish to spar with you. Now that we've exchanged blows … "
"Oh?" Yi Yun was very alarmed. The palatial lord spoke too casually. If one did not know better, they would think that he had met a junior from his own sect and wanted to give him some pointers.
There was such a sect master who did not care about the survival of his own sect?
"You don't have to find it odd." The elder could read Yi Yun's thoughts. "When I was young, I was once recognized as a genius. I pursued the pinnacle of martial arts and became the next palatial lord of the Seven Star Dao Palace at a young age. I had a limitless future ahead of me."
"The Seven Star Dao Palace has never been an orthodox sect. From the moment it was established, the sect was filled with bloodshed. I did not wish to become the palatial lord of the Seven Star Dao Palace, nor was I satisfied with a tiny place like the Central State Divine Territory. I wasn't even satisfied with the Yang God Empyrean Heaven. I left the Central State Divine Territory at the age of a hundred and went out on experiential training for a thousand years. Finally, I entered the Sinkhole and once found a foothold in the Sinkhole where experts abounded. However … "
The elder sighed when he said that. "At the height of my mettle, I accompanied hundreds of experts into a mystic realm in the Sinkhole in search of opportunities to take another step forward. But that time, we encountered a terrifying danger. Nearly all the hundreds of experts that accompanied us perished. Although I returned, my Dao Palace was shattered and my cultivation level was crippled …"
As the elder spoke, he slowly shook his head. Yi Yun was stunned. Crippled of one's cultivation level? What sort of blow would that be to a warrior?
"From then on, I no longer had any fate with the Great Dao. Many years passed and my strength was restored to its present state. I returned to the Seven Star Dao Palace and became palatial lord …"
The Seven Star Dao Palace had its own destiny. I grew weary of worldly affairs and gradually retreated to the back mountain. The four deputy palatial lords vied for power and presided over the Seven Star Dao Palace together. Even during this trip to the Sun Burial Sandsea, I could roughly guess the outcome. Even if it wasn't for you, the true Yang spirit would have appeared and been obtained by the four of them. There would have been a life-and-death battle between the dead. "
"And the victor probably wanted to refine the Yang spirit. After his strength increased by leaps and bounds, he would return to kill me and become the palatial lord of the Seven Star Dao Palace …"
As the elder slowly explained, Yi Yun was alarmed. The elder had seen through everything, yet he did not do anything. He did not even try to stop him?
"Right and wrong, success and failure turn into nothingness in the blink of an eye. There is nothing in this world that lasts forever. The Seven Star Dao Palace is even more so. I have seen the grandeur of the past, so I no longer care about the struggles of the present. For example, the Azure Yang Lord single-handedly established the Great Qian Divine Empire. Now, all that is left is a tiny remnant of the Clarity Pool Sword Sect, as well as the trivial aura in your sword. The Divine Empire flourished for a time, but where is it now? "
Yi Yun was taken aback. The elder actually knew so much about the past. He knew of the Azure Yang Lord.
The Clarity Pool Sword Sect was considered a reclusive sect in the Central State Divine Territory. Few people knew of their relationship with the Azure Yang Lord.
"Senior, you said that the Great Qian Divine Empire no longer exists. I would like to ask if you know of Bai Yueyin? Bai Yueyin was once the Azure Yang Lord's wife. She harmed him and eventually took control of the Great Qian Divine Empire. "Yi Yun's tone was already a lot more respectful.
Bai Yueyin's talent was extremely terrifying. She was once the Azure Yang Lord's true love. They ruled the Divine Empire together and were known as the Sacred Emperor and Sacred Empress.
But later on, Bai Yueyin betrayed the Azure Yang Lord.
Before the Azure Yang Lord and the Fey race's Divine Lord, Sha Hongxue, she harmed the Azure Yang Lord and took away a rusty sword tip that the Azure Yang Lord had brought back from the Sinkhole. This caused the Azure Yang Lord to suffer an abject defeat at the hands of Sha Hongxue, causing him to lose his position as a Divine Lord. From then on, he fell from grace and ended up in the Tian Yuan world.
Later on, the Azure Yang Lord befriended the ancient Great Empress in the Tian Yuan world. He slowly recovered his strength and built the Great Empress mystic realm. He also left the God Advent Tower behind. As for how it was obtained by Yi Yun, that was a matter for the future.
That also meant that Bai Yueyin had the sword tip in her hand, and that sword tip …
Yi Yun clenched the pure Yang broken sword tightly. He knew that the sword tip belonged to the other half of the pure Yang broken sword.
However, after so much time had passed, with Bai Yueyin's terrifying martial talent, her present strength was probably unfathomable.
Yi Yun had no intention of immediately obtaining the sword tip from her. He was only curious as to why the Clarity Pool Sword Sect could continue existing in the Central State Divine Territory despite Bai Yueyin's betrayal of the Azure Yang Lord.
"Bai Yueyin?" The elder shook his head. "I do not know this person, but the successor of the Great Qian Divine Empire later led all the factions of the Great Qian Divine Empire to leave the Central State Divine Territory and head for the Sinkhole."
Head for the Sinkhole?
Yi Yun frowned. Even the Azure Yang Lord did not know why Bai Yueyin had betrayed the Azure Yang Lord. However, the Divine Empire was a massive territory. Why did she abandon it so easily …
Bai Yueyin was filled with mysteries. However, since she had already left the Central State Divine Territory, it explained why the Clarity Pool Sword Sect was able to continue existing.
"Senior, you have once been to the Sinkhole. Do you know where the Great Qian Divine Empire is now?" Yi Yun wanted to know where she had taken the sword tip. Furthermore, he had accepted Azure Yang Lord's heritage. Back then, Azure Yang Lord had been betrayed by her, losing everything and nearly dying. There would come a day when he would seek justice for Azure Yang Lord.
The elder suddenly said with a laugh, "My sect has been destroyed by you, but you still have to ask me so many questions. That's really too much. Now that everything is over and we have exchanged blows, it's time for you to leave. Now that I'm the only one here, I can finally enjoy some peace and quiet. "
With that said, the elder did not stay a moment longer. He turned and walked into the palace.
Peng!
The palace's door closed. Yi Yun stood in the square and looked at the tightly shut door.
The elder was like an ancient well. Behind his calmness, he had a glorious past. Yi Yun shook his head. If the elder was unwilling to answer the question, it would not yield any results even if he forced it.
"The Myriad Divine Territory is a sacred land for transactions. Perhaps I can obtain some information there," thought Yi Yun.
