The entire Dragon Country was in an uproar.
The Yan Emperor had fallen.
Within the Green Bamboo Forest.
Chen Jiuyang was calming his spirit, sitting under the eaves, carefully sensing everything after his advancement to the Emperor Realm.
"The origin, the laws, forged into oneself, creating one's own Dao, possessing one's own Great Dao characters."
"Every move and every strike is filled with the operation of origin and laws. Apart from ultimate divine abilities, ordinary moves return to simplicity, not disturbing heaven and earth."
"Divine abilities are also divided into nine grades, and above nine is forbidden arts that transcend the mortal realm."
"One must temper the Celestial Platform where one resides to the extreme to ascend to the next Celestial Platform. This requires self-cognition of one's own Dao and foundation."
"Thus, advancing in the Emperor Realm is more difficult than advancing in the Venerable Realm..."
If the Venerable Realm achieved Dao and ascended to the Celestial Platform, then the Emperor Realm was the proof of Dao.
This was incredibly profound and obscure. Currently, Chen Jiuyang's comprehension of his 'Primordial Dao' was not particularly deep, and he remained focused on perfecting the origin of his moves and superficial divine abilities.
The thirty-three layers of the Emperor Realm were further divided into Peerless Great Powers, Martial Saints, Grand Saints, Quasi-Emperors, and then the entry into the Emperor Realm itself!
"This is perhaps why the Ancient Emperor Road exists..."
"After resolving all these matters, I will ascend the Ancient Emperor Road like others and take a look."
The Martial Dao furnace ignited the Dao fire, illuminating the Celestial Platform. The Divine Palace of the Hidden Spirit merged into one, ascending to the first Celestial Platform, where immortal light shone at all times.
Chen Jiuyang's 'spirit' represented his Martial Dao will, fully manifesting on the Celestial Platform.
It was somewhat similar to the Myriad Races Blood Seat of the True Demon Sect.
Now that he had ascended to the Emperor Realm, he only needed to unify the Demonic Path to be called the Demon Emperor.
The tea before him had gone cold, yet Chen Jiuyang had not taken a sip.
His mind wanted to churn with thoughts, but they were suppressed by the state of unity between man and heaven, maintaining a calm emotion.
"Whoosh!"
Patriarch 'Wumian' tore through space, appearing from outside the Green Bamboo Spiritual Domain and then flying in.
Chen Jiuyang was the master of the Green Bamboo Spiritual Domain. Without his permission, no one could tear through this space or absorb the spiritual energy here.
Patriarch 'Wumian' said, "It is confirmed that Yan Fengyun is dead. Her body was taken by Lian Sheng of the Remaining Immortal Clan, and she is currently heading towards the Remaining Immortal Clan. Many people are pursuing her."
"The Protectorate system has not fallen into chaos. Before Yan Fengyun died, she transferred her Protectorate authority to her disciple."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes narrowed: "The Yan Emperor has a disciple?"
Patriarch 'Wumian' replied, "Indeed. Yan Fengyun's disciple suddenly appeared. The Yan Emperor had hidden her for a long time. Her name is Chen Beixuan."
Chen Jiuyang was silent for a moment and said, "He hid her quite well. Even I didn't know he had a disciple."
"Chen Beixuan, huh? I'll have to meet him when I have the time."
Patriarch 'Wumian' continued:
"This time, a total of six Peerless Great Powers attacked Yan Fengyun, and Kunlun used its Half-Ancestor Artifact to counter the Human King Sword."
Chen Jiuyang was well aware of the power of a Half-Ancestor Artifact...
They had truly chosen the time of Chen Jiuyang's tribulation to ambush the Yan Emperor, otherwise, Chen Jiuyang would have gone to support him.
Chen Jiuyang's eyes were filled with killing intent: "Continue."
Patriarch 'Wumian' said, "The attack on the Han Clan Forbidden Land also involved five Great Pseudo-Dao shadows and forbidden families. The families within the Sacred Sect merely fanned the flames and did not personally intervene, providing their identities as Sacred Sect disciples to those who acted."
Chen Jiuyang sneered, "Their actions are incredibly swift. They investigated clearly within hours of the incident. They were well-prepared."
"But they think I will let them off just like that?"
"Naive."
"Which families were they? Never mind, no need to say for now. I'll deal with them after I return to the sect."
Chen Jiuyang's thoughts turned: "Did anything else happen during my tribulation?"
The Yan Emperor had fallen, and his relatives had been attacked again. This enraged Chen Jiuyang to the extreme, almost beyond words. All his emotions had transformed into intense killing intent.
His long saber yearned to kill, to draw blood!
Patriarch 'Wumian' said, "There were no other major events related to the Sect Master."
Chen Jiuyang slowly stood up, no longer able to suppress the raging killing intent within him, and uttered a single sentence: "Where is the old dog Lian Sheng with the Yan Emperor's corpse now?"
...
The Yan Emperor had fallen.
It was publicly announced that the Yan Emperor had died of illness in bed due to the demon tide incident at the Fallen Immortal Cliff.
"Damn it, are these five Holy Lands trying to fool ghosts? How can a Peerless Great Power of the Emperor Realm die in bed from illness?"
In a tea house in a scattered cultivator market near Xiguang Province, someone looked at the news and cursed angrily.
"Be careful with your words. The affairs of the five Holy Lands are not for us to discuss."
The Yan Emperor's reputation among the common people was too widespread.
The five Holy Lands had existed for too long, and their shadows could be found in any myth or legend.
Of course, the Demonic Path was the same.
"I heard that after the Yan Emperor died, the founder of the Lotus Sect, the Old Mother Lian Sheng, took the Yan Emperor's corpse and left."
"What Lotus Sect? Those are people from a forbidden family within the Remaining Immortal Clan's forbidden land."
"I heard this man-eating old monster has lived for nearly ten thousand years..."
As the Old Mother Lian Sheng appeared more frequently, her true identity became known to more people.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the market: "The leader of the True Demon Sect of the Demonic Path, Demon Lord Qianyang, has arrived!"
As soon as the voice fell, countless people erupted in excitement.
If the Yan Emperor was somewhat distant from the current generation, then this Demon Lord Qianyang was from this era. In his early thirties, he had already passed the heavenly tribulation and ascended to the Emperor Realm!
News of Chen Jiuyang's successful tribulation and ascension to the Emperor Realm had spread globally in just half a day, known to everyone!
"Holy crap! What is this big shot doing here?"
"Yeah, the conflict between the righteous and demonic paths is at its peak right now. Shouldn't he be guarding the Demonic Sect?"
"Idiot, the Yan Emperor and Demon Lord Qianyang had a close relationship. The Yan Emperor is dead, and Old Mother Lian Sheng took the Yan Emperor's corpse. This guy is probably coming for Old Mother Lian Sheng."
"Damn, that Old Mother Lian Sheng is from the Remaining Immortal Clan's forbidden land... and isn't the Remaining Immortal Clan's forbidden land nearby?"
Chen Jiuyang was no longer who he was before. How many people in the current era dared to call him by name?
Everyone respectfully called him Demon Lord Qianyang. To call him Chen Jiuyang or just Qianyang would be sensed by Chen Jiuyang.
Patriarch 'Wumian' said, "Sect Master, my karma with you has temporarily concluded. We shall meet again after the Sect Master unifies the Sacred Path and opens the Sacred Land of the Chongming Sea."
He greatly admired Chen Jiuyang, but his karmic bond as a protector of Chen Jiuyang had ended. He had to return to the Chongming Sea. It had actually ended the moment Chen Jiuyang successfully ascended to the Emperor Realm, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he had stayed for half a day longer, but he could not delay any further.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, "Then we shall meet again in the future."
Following that, Patriarch 'Wumian' walked into the spatial rift and disappeared.
He then walked step by step into the market, like an ordinary person. However, his dark and sacred Nine Dragon Robe was too conspicuous, and who didn't recognize his face?
Chen Jiuyang's faint voice rang out:
"Whoever takes me to the entrance of the Remaining Immortal Clan Forbidden Land will be greatly rewarded."
