Seeing the young man agree so quickly without any hesitation, the Battle Sage was also stunned. He looked over in disbelief.
Are they really master and disciple?
Why does he feel like he's really powerful...
"Little Su Yin..."
Song Yu looked over anxiously.
Su Yin sighed. "Teacher, there's no need for words of gratitude! I know that you've been thinking about the Battle Sage all these years. Now that you've revived and returned, as your disciple, if I don't fulfill your wish, how can I be worthy of being a human! "
Song Yu's face stiffened and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He didn't know whether he was worthy of being a human or not, but what he did was really dog-like!
Previously, he had been scamming the other party every day, and now, he was scammed by the other party... Previously, this fellow kept saying that reincarnation was inevitable, but he didn't believe it. Now, it seemed like it was true.
His mouth twitched as he looked at his old lover. As expected, the other party was looking at him with a fake smile. "Why, you're not willing? Does that mean that what you said just now was all fake? "
A storm was brewing.
Song Yu said seriously, "How can that be? Of course it's real! My feelings for you can be seen by the heavens. "
Su Yin interrupted. "Since that's the case, everyone is happy... However, Senior Battle Sage, I advise you not to leave my teacher alone in the Battle Sage Hall!"
The Battle Sage frowned. "Why?"
Su Yin sighed. "There are women everywhere here. There are almost no men. You know..."
Before he finished, the Battle Sage's gaze was already as cold as ice. "Song Yu, you dare to have designs on someone from the Battle Sage Hall? I think you're courting death! "
"???" Song Yu went crazy.
I didn't say that I wouldn't dare...
Did this evil disciple have to kill him?
Can you be more shameless?
Ignoring his teacher's frenzy, Su Yin continued, "You can discuss these trivial matters among yourselves. Since you've come to a decision, how do you want to cooperate?"
The Battle Sage regained his arrogance. He was as calm as a machine. "Naturally, if we meet an enemy, we'll fight together!"
Su Yin asked, "What about treasures?"
The Battle Sage snorted. "It belongs to whoever can snatch it."
Su Yin was speechless, "You and the Martial Saint are both World Overlords. Wouldn't I be courting death if I were to fight with the two of you? How about this? I won't ask for your help. I only ask that we don't harm each other after we enter the Beast Court. Furthermore, when facing Firmament and Yellow Springs, you must join forces with me to fight against them instead of joining forces with others. In return, I will bring you all over. As for whether you can find the treasure or not, it will depend on your own abilities. "
After a moment of contemplation, the Battle Sage nodded. "Alright!"
It was indeed a good thing that they were able to work together. At the very least, they would be able to strike fear into the hearts of Firmament and the others. Even if the Dragon Emperor were to come back to life, he would not dare to make a move recklessly.
"Then it's settled. Half an hour later, outside the Human Emperor Holy Grounds, I'll wait for you to set off!"
Seeing that she had agreed, Su Yin turned around and left. His silhouette flickered a few times, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot. It was as if the restrictions and formations in the Battle Sage Hall did not exist before him.
"No wonder he could stir up such a storm in just a few days. He's indeed capable …"
Seeing Zhang Xuan leave so easily, a glint flashed across the Battle Sage's eyes.
Contrary to her reaction, when Song Yu saw that the other party had no intention of taking him away, his face twitched, and he nearly burst into tears.
That wasn't what they had said when they first arrived … At such a crucial moment, they had tossed him down. What the heck was that?
Whoosh!
Just as Zhang Xuan was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly felt a searing pain on his body, and a cold gaze pierced right into his eyes.
His mouth twitching, Song Yu slowly turned his head, only to see the Battle Sage's cold face.
"Fight, fight …"
"Fight my ass!"
Before he could finish his words, his body was restrained by a powerful force. He couldn't even move. Following which, his vision darkened as a fist smashed into his face.
"Let me explain. I was just putting on a show with those tens of thousands of girls. My feelings for you are real …"
Bang!
"Ah … I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. If there's any falsehood, may the heavens strike me with lightning!"
Bang!
"Don't hit my face, okay? I was really wrong …"
A few minutes later, Song Yu was lying on the ground. His mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. He was twitching non-stop, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.
"This is from back then …"
Harrumphing coldly, the Battle Sage placed his hands behind his back.
Ten thousand years ago, this fellow had come over to sell intelligence and discuss military strategies with her, causing her heart to flutter. She had thought that he was a good man, but who could have thought that he was actually a scumbag?
Not to mention, he was the kind of scumbag who could be sent to hell.
Back then, she had fled swiftly, so she didn't have a chance to beat him up properly. How could she possibly let him off so easily?
"Don't you love me anymore?"
With teary eyes, Song Yu was at a loss for words.
"Beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. This is my love for you!" the Battle Sage said with a smile.
"…" Song Yu was at a loss for words.
The Battle Sage harrumphed. "Also, don't even think about hitting on the women of my War God Hall. If you dare, not only will I castrate you, I'll sew your buttocks together so that you won't be able to obtain them."
"…" Song Yu's lips twitched. She wanted to reply, but no words came out.
The Battle Sage was a man who had led mankind through countless battles to reach his current position. Needless to say, he was a man of his words … If he were to be tortured like that, what was the point of living?
"Alright, I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it …" A glint flashed across the Battle Sage's eyes. "Your disciple dares to ally with us. Is she up to something?"
"How would I know …" Song Yu was so infuriated that she was at a loss for words.
It would have been fine if the Battle Sage hadn't mentioned the other party.
"You don't wish to speak? That's fine too … "The Battle Sage frowned. He grabbed at the air, and a surge of energy immediately dived into Song Yu's mind. Before Song Yu could even react, her thoughts had already been read by the Battle Sage.
Soon, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed like she had been overthinking things. The other party was just trying to cooperate with her …
Hu!
While Song Yu was deep in thought, a figure suddenly appeared in the hall. He had phoenix eyes and slender eyebrows. When he opened his eyes, there seemed to be a cold glint gleaming in them.
"What's going on? I sensed that someone had barged in! "
Battle Sage!
The number one expert of mankind.
Without hiding anything, the Battle Sage replied, "It's Su Yin. He came over to form an alliance with us."
The Battle Sage was perplexed. "Alliance?"
The Battle Sage explained the situation.
"You did the right thing. The Five Decay of Heavens is about to descend. Either we find a scapegoat or we transcend. There's no third option. The Ancient Beast Court is a huge opportunity for us, and we mustn't miss it."
The Battle Sage pondered for a moment before saying, "Su Yin is arrogant and despotic, and he has made many enemies. With him as a cover, we can keep a low profile. How about this? We'll split up once we find the Ancient Beast Court, and we won't make a move unless we're confident in defeating him. We won't take the initiative to form an alliance with him either. "
That was an agreement to form an alliance, but they wouldn't announce it publicly. They would split up once they arrived at the Ancient Beast Court … This way, they could avoid a lot of trouble.
The Battle Sage nodded. "That's what I'm thinking as well. We'll agree to it first. Otherwise, everyone else will benefit from it while we fall behind."
The Battle Sage turned to Song Yu, who was still convulsing on the floor, and frowned. "How do you intend to deal with this fellow? Even though we are a fake couple to fight against Huang Quan, if I allow him to stay here, it will still be a huge blow to my reputation! If you're still unwilling to make a move, I'll help you kill him … Perhaps, we'll only be able to break through that barrier if we sever that thought. "
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a surge of energy gathered in his palm, ready to strike at any moment.
Just from this surge of energy, one could see that his cultivation wasn't any weaker than Prince Xiao Shi. He was also at the pinnacle of the Sector Lord realm.
"You don't have to worry about it. This fellow injured me once, and he won't be soft-hearted this time!"
With a grab, the Battle Sage kept Song Yu into his treasure.
Furrowing his brows, the Martial Saint shook his head in the end, "Yang Xuan and the rest's Man Conquers the Heavens, the Human Emperor's Way, seems pretty good now. However, it can only be considered a path. No one can guarantee that it will succeed until the very end. Even though we're all doing this for the human race, our ideals are different, and we can't work together. In the end, there's only one outcome. Either … we kill them and make way for us, or we're killed and make way for them! In other words, we're enemies with Song Yu. "
The Battle Sage fell silent. The calmness in his eyes was gone, leaving only a hint of sadness. "I understand!"
The Battle Sage continued, "It's good that you understand. Pack up and get ready to move out. This time, the Beast Court must reap the greatest benefits and achieve a breakthrough. Otherwise, when the Five Decay of the Heavens descends, danger will truly arrive."
"Alright!" The Battle Sage didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked into the depths of the hall.
The Battle Sage shook his head and vanished from the spot.
Everyone in the Immortal World knew that he and the Battle Sage were husband and wife, but only they knew that it was a fake identity that they came up with to protect the human race against Cang Qiong.
In truth, they had nothing to do with each other.
Eighth-layer Saint pinnacle was powerful, but it was still too weak against Cang Qiong. Only by working together would they be able to make Cang Qiong wary and ensure that the human race's heritage wouldn't be severed.
Of course, this was a secret. Putting aside the thirty-six Ancient Sages, even those from the Battle Sage Hall and Martial Sage Hall were unaware of it.
…
…
Su Yin appeared in the Human Emperor Sacred Ground.
"Why did you leave Song Yu with the Battle Sage? Aren't you afraid that he'll be killed?"
Yang Xuan and the others were anxious.
They hadn't expected Zhang Xuan to make such a decision.
Even though Song Yu had a relationship with the Battle Sage ten thousand years ago, she was still the Battle Sage's wife. If they were to be discovered, wouldn't they be flayed alive?
"Don't worry!"
Su Yin chuckled softly. "I have sealed a fragment of Song Yu laoshi's soul, so he won't be affected by the life and death of his main body. As for his Casanova Path, it's a branch of my Human Emperor's Path. As long as I'm alive, I'll be able to revive him no matter what happens."
The Casanova Path had become a branch of the Human Emperor's Path. As long as he was still alive, no one would be able to snatch his Casanova Path away. Thus, even if Song Yu were to be killed by the Battle Sage, he would be able to reconstruct his Casanova Path and revive him.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was capable of such a feat after reaching the Realm of Laws, Yang Xuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully and asked, "Do you have a motive for leaving Song Yu behind?"
Given how much Song Yu respected their teacher, there was no way he would intentionally hide it from them. There had to be a motive behind it.
"Of course!"
Su Yin chuckled. "The ideals of the Battle Sages and Battle Sages are different from those of the teachers. Even if they can work together, they will only feign compliance. It's very likely that they will leave immediately after arriving at the Beast Court. Since that's the case, it's crucial for us to find their exact location and understand their movements. If we make good use of them, we can achieve unexpected results."
Yang Xuan nodded.
Indeed.
If they didn't even know where their allies were, their so-called alliance would be nothing more than a joke.
"Song Yu laoshi's Casanova Path is a branch of my Casanova Path. Through the connection between the Casanova Path, I can find out his exact location and even … communicate with him!"
A glint flashed across Su Yin's eyes. "As long as a Battle Sage brings him along, he'll be able to know of the other party's movements at all times and react accordingly."
Yang Xuan and the others widened their eyes in realization. They finally understood Zhang Xuan's motive.
In that case, it was better to be prepared. It was equivalent to having an additional trump card.
It was no wonder why Zhang Xuan said that he shouldn't leave Song Yu alone in the Battle Sage Hall. In the end, it wasn't because he was worried that his teacher would pursue other ladies but because he was worried that his plan wouldn't work.
Smart!
The crowd fell silent. Su Yin made use of this short period of time to continue cultivating.
The Firmament and Yellow Springs intended to use him as a scapegoat to replace the Five Decay of the Heavens. He also wanted to make use of this person's advantage to comprehend more Casanova Paths and better consolidate the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Paths to raise his cultivation as soon as possible.
They were just making use of one another. Thus, he didn't suffer any losses or fall into their trap.
"After assimilating the Drifting Cloud, Ascendant Sky, Jadefall, Celestial Palace, Frigid Heat, Toad Osmanthus, Golden Crow's Origin Flame … In addition to the faith of so many people, I have a deeper understanding of the Firmament Path. This Casanova Path is far inferior to the true Heaven's Path. Let's call it … Path of the Celestial Monarch!"
The true Heaven's Path encompassed three thousand Casanova Paths, including all of the laws that could be comprehended. Regardless of whether it was the Firmament or Yellow Springs, they were all part of it.
Thus, it wasn't appropriate to call what he comprehended the Heaven's Path. According to the Human Emperor, it was more appropriate to call it the Path of the Celestial Monarch.
"What the Yellow Springs comprehended shall be called the Path of the Earth Monarch. I've assimilated Sang Yu, Hades, Horse-face, River of Forgetfulness, and Limbo … If I can kill Meng Po and assimilate her, I should be able to reach perfection. The Ancient Beast Court is an opportunity."
"Sky Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Emperor, these three Daos, together with Life, Death, and Time … can already form a world. However … how can one become the master of a world?"
Su Yin frowned.
Regardless of whether it was the Firmament, Yellow Springs, Martial Saints, or Battle Saints, they could break through to the World Lord realm just by comprehending a single law. Why couldn't he do it?
"According to the analysis of Crown Prince Xiao Shi's memories, in order to become a World Lord, one needs a 【Boundary Artifact】!"
Dahei said, knowing that he was confused.
"Boundary Artifact?" Su Yin was perplexed.
Dahei said, "It's the foundation of a world. It has the effect of 【Stabilizing the Heavens and Earth】. Only with such an artifact guarding it can the world be stabilized. It won't be affected by the spatial turbulence, and it won't collapse easily …"
Su Yin came to a realization.
Similarly, a Domain could allow one to be invincible within a certain area. However, it wasn't stable. As long as one's cultivation was similar, one could easily shatter it. Furthermore, it wouldn't be able to recover in a short period of time.
However, a world was different. No matter how powerful one's attack was, it would be able to recover on its own, as if it had a life of its own.
This was the effect of the 【Boundary Artifact】.
Dahei continued, "Boundary Artifacts are usually extremely powerful artifacts … The artifact used by the Ancient Dragon Emperor is the Ancient Beast Court! On the other hand, the artifact used by Crown Prince Xiao Shi is the 【Coiling Dragon Pillar】 that we saw previously … "
The Ancient Beast Court wasn't just a peak existence in the Primordial Era, it was also an extremely powerful artifact.
Su Yin asked curiously, "What about Cang Qiong and the Yellow Springs?"
Dahei shook his head. "I don't know about that. Crown Prince Xiao Shi doesn't possess the ability to sever memories."
Su Yin smiled bitterly.
He was truly confused.
When Crown Prince Xiao Shi was in hibernation, Cang Qiong and the Yellow Springs were insignificant figures. They hadn't reached the level where they were now, so it was natural that they wouldn't be known.
"Even though I'm not too sure, I can roughly guess it," Yang Xuan said.
At that instant, Yang Xuan spoke, "The Firmament should be the thirty-three layers of Heaven. The Yellow Spring should be the eighteen layers of Hell. As for the Martial Saint, if I'm not mistaken, it should be his strongest weapon, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. As for the Battle Saint, it should be the War Mirror …
It was only then that Su Yin came to a realization.
These experts actually all had so-called boundary defining objects that could stabilize the world, control the four extremes, and control the universe.
"May I know if … my Origin Energy Pearl can be used as a Boundary Artifact?"
Su Yin's heart stirred as he asked.
"It can, but it's not the best choice!" Yang Xuan shook his head.
"Oh?" Su Yin was curious. "The Origin Energy Pearl contains space itself. It can be used to guard the east, the Mulberry Elm Tree to guard the west, the Golden Crow's Lifeblood Flame, the Osmanthus Tree to guard the heavens, the Parasol Tree to guard the earth, the Saint Origin Pond as the sea, and the Bridge of Helplessness as the road … If that's not the best choice, what's better?"
There were simply too many treasures in the Origin Energy Pearl.
He had been forging it since before he became a Saint, and it was definitely one of the top treasures in the entire Celestial World.
Knowing that Zhang Xuan would have such doubts, Yang Xuan explained, "Actually … there's only one thing that's most suitable for stabilizing the world, and that's … the Five Elemental Sacred Mountain!"
Su Yin's eyes widened. He pondered for a moment before nodding.
The Five Elemental Sacred Mountain stabilized the five elements.
If these five treasures were used as Boundary Artifacts, the entire world would be extremely stable. It would be difficult for the world to even shake, let alone destroy it.
In the World Lord realm, the more stable one's world was, the stronger one would be.
The reason why the Firmament Monarch was invincible was because the 33 Skies were one with the Celestial World. As long as the Celestial World existed, he would not be destroyed.
"The Five Elemental Sacred Mountain is an ally of ours, and it's impossible for us to steal their sacred mountain. As good as the Origin Energy Pearl is, it's only a dream …"
Su Yin nodded bitterly.
Given his current strength, it was indeed possible for him to steal the Origin Energy Pearl from the Five Elemental Sacred Mountain. However, he wasn't the Crown Prince Xiao Shi. He wasn't an ungrateful person who only cared about himself.
There was no way he would make a move on his friends just to raise his strength.
"I knew that you would have such thoughts, so I made preparations in advance!"
Yang Xuan said with a glint in his eyes. "How about … using the Dry Origin World as the Boundary Artifact? While the Dry Origin World isn't as stable as the Celestial World, it's still a stable world. It can float in the chaotic space currents for countless years without collapsing. If you fuse it with the Origin Energy Pearl and use some other treasures to stabilize the Four Extremities, you should be able to make a breakthrough to the World Lord realm! "
