The moment the truth was revealed.
The future illusion deduced by the Grand Creation Heavenly Mystery Jade Tablet shattered.
Within the forbidden grounds of Yuan Yan Town.
Chen Jiuyang was still processing the information.
The Five Great Sacred Lands' 'Flying Immortal' plan had abducted Yao Zixuan, solely to trigger the appearance of the Nine Provinces Cauldron at the moment of his daughter's birth, allowing them to collectively ascend to the Immortal Realm.
The Yao family had been annihilated, and his wife and daughter had vanished.
The Dragon Country's Six Doors Divine Constables had converged on Ziyang City, investigating for seven days and nights without a single clue.
Why could the Forbidden City Sacred Lands guarantee the safety of Yao Zixuan and his daughter!
Why could the Forbidden City Sacred Lands ensure Zhou Fangzun's non-involvement, even using ancestral artifacts to deceive him into believing it.
Why was Duan Qilong recalled to the Forbidden City Sacred Lands!
Because the culprits were the Five Great Sacred Lands!
He had initially believed himself to be merely a pawn of the Five Great Sacred Lands, to be discarded once used, having no further value. He had only felt disillusioned with them.
But now, he was filled with boundless hatred and killing intent towards the Five Great Sacred Lands!
To fulfill your ascension to the Immortal Realm with my happiness?!
Well done, Five Great Sacred Lands!
If I do not slaughter the Five Great Sacred Lands, I swear I am not human!
With the Grand Creation Jade Tablet deducing the future, it was only twenty years later that he learned through Qin Rouyu that Yao Zixuan and his daughter would ascend to the Immortal Realm on August 8th of this very day.
With these old fools, if they succeeded in reality, could Yao Zixuan and his daughter still survive?
Chen Jiuyang's body trembled violently, daring not to think further.
The Immortal Alliance?
The Immortal Alliance?!
The Immortal Alliance!!!
Chen Jiuyang suddenly understood why the great being in the Immortal Slaying Divine Ability had turned his butcher's knife towards the immortals.
Because the people of the Immortal Alliance only cared about their own ascension and eternal life, disregarding the lives of others.
Could such people be called immortals? They were merely a group of old pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered!
Hatred surged in his heart, making Chen Jiuyang wish he could kill someone on the spot!
Chen Jiuyang took a deep breath, his mind churning with thoughts on how to break the predicament.
How to save Yao Zixuan.
How to make amends for his family.
His heart was filled with guilt.
At this moment.
Under the eerie blood moon, those giant, terrifying pupils fixed on Chen Jiuyang, and a indifferent, ancient voice echoed:
"I have fulfilled the first half of our transaction. It's your turn, inheritor of the Human Emperor's Path."
Chen Jiuyang suppressed the myriad thoughts in his mind, extended his hand, tore off the jade pendant from his neck, and tossed it into the sky:
"Take it."
Liu Ning's voice said, "The transaction is complete. The living cannot remain in Yuan Yan Town; this is the domain of the deceased. I shall escort you out of the forbidden grounds."
The four red-clad brides with their heads covered appeared before Chen Jiuyang, carrying a sedan chair, inviting him to board.
Before boarding, Chen Jiuyang said, "Keep your subordinates in check. Do not harm the common folk."
The giant, terrifying pupils seemed to reveal a hint of mockery, saying:
"Inheritor of the Human Emperor's Path, you should first deal with your own affairs."
Then Chen Jiuyang boarded the sedan chair, and the four red-clad brides quickly departed towards the outside of the forbidden grounds.
...
On the sedan chair.
Chen Jiuyang's thoughts became active again, calculating.
The forbidden grounds could scheme against the Five Great Sacred Lands, against him, and against the mortal world, but they could not scheme against themselves.
This meant that the power of the forbidden grounds was even more terrifying than that of the Five Great Sacred Lands.
And when he went to the remnant elder village, the armless middle-aged man had said that he would help him when the time was right.
Now that he knew the truth, he had to go to the remnant elder village again to ask the armless middle-aged man.
No matter the cause or the cost, he would disregard it all, as long as he could save his wife and daughter!
Through this trip to deduce the future, Chen Jiuyang had also grasped much useful information. Setting aside the grand scheme of the world.
He learned from the Yan Sheng Saber how he could rapidly improve his cultivation.
Cultivation! Without cultivation, even if his wife and daughter were rescued, the Five Great Sacred Lands would surely not let it go.
He still lacked a sufficiently powerful force that opposed them to seek refuge.
Within the Green Bamboo Spiritual Domain, as long as he was present, he would be invincible.
But there must be a problem with this, because although he could cultivate the fastest within the Green Bamboo Spiritual Domain, the Yan Sheng Saber told him that he had not stayed in the Green Bamboo Spiritual Domain for long before his entire family migrated to the Demonic Path.
From his current perspective, the status of the Five Great Sacred Lands seemed higher than that of the Demonic Path.
However, in the future illusion, soon, Monk Pu Hui would appear and teach him the perfected "Book of Changes," after which he would choose to enter the Demonic Path, rise up in rebellion, control the Nine Meridians of the Demonic Path, and become the co-lord of the Nine Meridians of the Demonic Path.
That is to say, the Demonic Path possessed absolute power to protect him, and even to break through the Five Great Sacred Lands.
The Five Great Sacred Lands considered themselves the righteous path, and historically, righteousness and demonic paths were irreconcilable.
To rescue Yao Zixuan, not only was the karma of the remnant elder village needed, but he also had to enter the Demonic Path himself for support.
It was currently June 15th.
There was not much time left until the ascension day on August 8th.
Time waits for no one!!!
Chen Jiuyang felt as if he had returned to his days of having no cultivation, being controlled by others everywhere.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Jiuyang opened his eyes. The sedan chair stopped. Stepping out, he found himself in the remnant grounds of the Medicine God Valley. A sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon, and the terrifying, life-devouring gray mist was gathering.
Countless people were desperately fleeing outwards.
Among them, many were covered in wounds, their encounters within the forbidden grounds unknown.
Many of the survivors were from the Five Great Sacred Lands.
Seeing them, Chen Jiuyang felt a surge of killing intent, but time was short.
Chen Jiuyang cast them a deep glance, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and his figure shot out, rushing towards the remnant elder village.
...
Outside.
With the Dragon Country winning the World Championship of the Martial Ranking, the Dragon Country's revival led to the emergence of countless forces, and the situation changed dramatically. However, with the Swordsman system, they smoothly navigated the era of Heavenly Realm Kings.
At the same time, someone finally discovered that the renowned Sixth King of the Dragon Country, King Qian, had disappeared, attracting much attention.
The heat was extremely high.
The official explanation was that King Qian had voluntarily resigned, no longer wishing to be a king, and had returned to civilian status.
Then, it was revealed that when King Qian participated in the World Championship, hundreds of his wife's clan were annihilated, and his pregnant wife, Yao Zixuan, was missing.
This caused a huge uproar, but it was quickly suppressed.
With the Dragon Country's revival, in this era, Heavenly Realm Kings were gradually no longer needed to contribute.
However, those who cared about Chen Jiuyang were perplexed.
Chen Jiuyang had disappeared and could not be found.
The Demonic Path and the Shu Mountain lineage repeatedly questioned Han Peiling and Chen Fengge.
"Such a promising talent meeting with such an incident. If he is willing to be loyal, we will definitely do our utmost to find the whereabouts of his wife and daughter."
"Where is he now?"
Han Peiling and Chen Fengge were somewhat helpless.
They truly did not know where Chen Jiuyang had gone. He had vanished overnight, leaving only a message that he would be back in a few days.
Friction between the Immortal Martial righteous and demonic forces was about to erupt. Whoever could gather more prodigies would be able to reap more benefits in the upcoming war between the righteous and demonic paths.
