Chapter 180 Revenge, The Emperor Requests an Audience
Ever since Cui Heng obtained the messages from the five Immortal swords, he had never come into contact with any news related to Jiang Qiqi.
It was as if she had really completely disappeared from this world.
Now, it confirmed Jiang Qiqi’s two messages.
The Unparalleled Demon sealed at the core of the earth, and the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace.
Moreover, after flipping through the ancient book provided by Zhang Shuming, Cui Heng had reason to suspect that the great demon he had killed after stripping away his Immortal Golden nature was very likely one of the ten Mystic Deity who had besieged Daoyi Palace 3,000 years ago.
He was the elder of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace back then.
“If that’s really the case, why did he turn into a great demon who had lost his mind? Why was he sealed? Did the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace perish because of this? “From the looks of the situation in the Heavenly Void World, the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace has long disappeared. Only the Nine Immortal Sects are left in the world. Almost no one knows of the existence of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace.
This situation is not normal. Someone must be deliberately hiding this information. It’s most likely done by the Nine Immortal Sects. But what’s the reason for them to do this?
If Qiqi’s disappearance is related to the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace, I have to go to the Heavenly Void World if I want to obtain further clues about her whereabouts.”
Cui Heng held the book in his hand and fell into deep thought. “However, the Heavenly Void World should also be extremely dangerous. 3,000 years ago, there was already a Fourth Realm Mystic Deity in the Immortal World. This is most likely equivalent to the Early-stage Golden Core realm.
“After such a long time, could they have already stepped into a higher realm? Are they already comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators? Even if I really have to go to the Heavenly Void World, I have to be vigilant and not be careless.”
Thinking of this, he closed the book and sighed slightly in his heart.
There were still some clues regarding Jiang Qiqi, but Hong Fugui seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Other than the Hongwu Divine Sword, there was almost nothing left of him, not even a trace.
Back then, when he interfered in the affairs of the human world, Hong Fugui failed at the last step and disappeared. It should be the work of those aristocratic families in the Upper World. The Wang Family of Jiangdong can’t escape responsibility.
“However, Wang Dongyang and Wang Donglin are still too young and haven’t come into contact with what happened 300 years ago. If I go to the Heavenly Void World later, I can ask their father.
I still have to break through to the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible. I have to confirm the cultivation method of the Nascent Soul realm before I can decide on my next
path.”
Thinking of this, Cui Heng ended his contemplation and returned the ancient book to Zhang Shuming. “After dealing with these Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper World, bring me to Daoyi Palace to take a look.”
The Daoyi Palace had a history of 10,000 years. Even if the main body had moved to the Heavenly Void World 3,000 years ago, their remaining foundation could definitely be converted into a lot of currency.
At the very least, it would be no less than the Baolin Buddhist Hall.
In order to make it absolutely safe for him to break through in seclusion, he had to save up tens of millions of currency.
“It will be a great honor if Exalted Immortal can visit our Daoyi Palace.” Zhang Shuming took the ancient book excitedly and said respectfully, “This Little Daoist will wait for your summons at any time.” In his excitement, he even called himself a Little Daoist.
“Haha, there’s no need to be like this.” Cui Heng waved his hand and said to Zheng Nanxun, “After we go to the Daoyi Palace, I’ll also make a trip to Cangcheng Mountain.”
“Yes, Ancestral Grandmaster!” Zheng Nanxun was also very happy.
Actually, she had long wanted to invite Cui Heng to the current Immortal Dawn Sect to take a look. However, Cui Heng had never had the time, so she did not manage to invite him.
This time, her wish could finally be fulfilled.
“Let’s go and see how Hui Shi’s interrogation is going.” Cui Heng stood up and walked out.
The two of them hurriedly followed.
….
Under the Nine Fire Flame Dragon’s scarlet gaze, Hui Shi’s interrogation actually went very smoothly. Those Human Immortals from the aristocratic families had never participated in the battle of the Immortal Dawn Sect a hundred years ago. All the people who participated back then had died under Jiang Qiqi’s sword.
There were only two Earth Immortals from the four Immortal sects who had participated in the battle. They were from the Void Dao Sect and White Cloud City. A hundred years ago, they were still Human Immortals. After they were lucky enough to survive, they received a reward from their elders and finally became Earth Immortals.
At this moment, the two of them had already been carried out by Hui Shi and the Nine Fire Flame Dragon. Their hands and feet were together and they stood in the corner.
They were waiting for death.
The two of them were completely in despair.
The other people from the Immortal sects felt a little glad.
In their opinion, since the two people had been specially chosen, it meant that it was quite likely that only these two would be killed.
This also followed normal logic.
After all, if they killed all the people from the four Immortal Sects here, the impact would be too great. It might even attract all the experts from the Upper World to come out.
There was no need to do that.
Soon, Cui Heng arrived with Zhang Shuming and Zheng Nanxun.
“Lord Overseer, fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you. I found two fellows who had participated in the battle of the Immortal Dawn Sect.” Hui Shi pointed at the two people standing
“Alright!” Cui Heng nodded slightly and said to Zheng Nanxun beside him, “I’ll leave these two to you. It’s up to you to decide if you want to kill them.”
The eyes of the two people lit up when they heard this, and they looked at Zheng Nanxun with pleading eyes.
“Thank you, Ancestral Grandmaster. Of course I have to kill them!”
Zheng Nanxun looked at the two of them with hatred in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “In that battle back then, many disciples of the Immortal Dawn Sect died in battle. Even Master was severely injured. Yet, these people participated in that battle and survived!”
As she spoke, she rushed forward, pulled out her long sword, and directly cut off the heads of the two people. Instantly, blood shot into the sky, dyeing the courtyard red.
These two Earth Immortals had long had their True Essence sealed. Facing Zheng Nanxun’s sword light, they were unable to defend at all. Just like that, they were beheaded and died in her hands.
Seeing two large heads roll down and blood rushing into the sky, the remaining experts from the Immortal sects could not help but heave a sigh of relief. They felt that this matter should come to an end now.
But at this moment, Cui Heng suddenly looked at them and said in a low voice, “As far as I know, only the Heavenly Cycle Star Duelling Pavilion did not participate in the battle a hundred years ago. “The few of you from the other three Immortal sects, take your own lives and you can still leave your corpses intact.”
He never planned to let these people from the Immortal Sects off. Since they dared to attack the Immortal Dawn Sect a hundred years ago, they naturally had to pay the price.
The faces of the people from the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, White Cloud City, and the Void Dao Sect immediately turned ashen when they heard this and hurriedly argued.
“Exalted Immortal, we didn’t participate in the war a hundred years ago!”
“Exalted Immortal, please spare us! We’ve been wronged. We’ve never had any ill intentions towards the Immortal Dawn Sect!”
“Exalted Immortal, listen to me. Listen to me. It’s not like that…”
They explained in every way possible in an attempt to obtain Cui Heng’s understanding.
“Noisy!”
Cui Heng frowned slightly and shook his head with a cold snort.
Then, he waved his sleeve, and an invisible force instantly spread out, shattering the people from the three Immortal sects into powder on the spot.
Not to mention corpses, not even ashes were left.
There was a sudden silence. A pin drop.
This was especially true for the Earth Immortals of the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion. They did not even breathe loudly, afraid that they would suddenly be killed by Cui Heng.
The people from the aristocratic families also became uneasy. When those people from the Immortal sects were killed just now, they immediately felt that they were no longer safe.
However, Cui Heng did not seem to have any intention of continuing to deal with them. He turned to Wang Dongyang and asked, “When are you returning to the Heavenly Void World?”
“Exalted Immortal, we can only stay here for 21 days at most,” Wang Dongyang said respectfully. “Once the 20 days are up, we have to return to the Heavenly Void World.”
“Actually, that’s not really the case.” At this moment, White Tiger Child suddenly interrupted, “We should be able to stay for at most 30 days. The reason why I set it to 21 days for you all is to let you return early to hand over the Heaven Dew Crystals and the Cross-Realm Immortal Artifacts.”
“…” Wang Dongyang was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was speechless.
The other aristocratic families also looked furious.
It turned out that even something like returning in time seemed to be one of the methods used by the Immortal sects to squeeze the aristocratic families dry.
It was really ridiculous.
“Exalted Immortal, actually, as long as you’re willing, we can stay in the Lower World forever and not return.” White Tiger Child continued, “It’s just that after 30 days, we won’t be able to open the Upper World passageway anymore. If we want to return, we can only wait for another hundred years.
Also, these restrictions are only targeted at martial artists who have stepped into the Immortal World realm. If they are only at the Deity Realm, the time is reduced to just half a year. This is also the reason why the Angels can descend in advance.”
“I see.” Cui Heng nodded slightly as some thoughts surfaced in his mind. From this point of view, the Heavenly Void World seemed to be more like a small world outside this planet. It was usually quite far away and would approach this place every hundred years.
At this time, they could open the so-called cross-border passage and descend from the Heavenly Void World?
IV
“But what is this cross-border passage?” Cui Heng was puzzled. He suddenly looked at the people from the aristocratic families and smiled. “You can return to the Heavenly Void World.”
If he wanted to investigate something, he had to make it appear in front of him first.
The people from the aristocratic families were instantly stunned. They were a little bewildered and even felt a little panicked.
What was going on?
He suddenly let him return to the Upper World?
Did he want them to go to the Upper World to ask for help so that he could attract more Immortals and Buddhas from the Upper World and kill them all in one go?
When Cui Heng saw their expressions, he immediately understood what they were thinking. Hence, he said with a faint smile, “Why? Do you want to stay and continue being interrogated by Hui Shi?”
“No, no, no!”
“No, no, no!”
“Exalted Immortal, we’ll take our leave!”
The aristocratic families hurriedly activated their World Crossing Immortal Artifacts.
Golden light burst out from the various Immortal artifacts in their hands and shot into the sky. Then, a huge door slowly opened.
After passing through this door of light, they would arrive at the Heavenly Void World.
The moment the door opened, the Human Immortals and Deity Realm experts of the aristocratic families ran in as if they were escaping for their lives.
They were all determined to never come to the Lower World again.
It was even more impossible for them to complain to the Immortal sects. They would just pretend that nothing had happened in the Lower World.
They did not want to be forced by the Immortal sects to lead the way back to the Lower World.
That would be a dead end.
“So this is a cross-border passage.” The corners of Cui Heng’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
He already understood the principle.
In the future, as long as he was in contact with this planet in the Heavenly Void World, he could rely on his own strength to directly open the passage and enter the Heavenly Void World.
A moment later, the golden light dissipated and the cross-border passage closed. Other than Wang Dongyang and the others, everyone else had left.
The people from the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion revealed envious expressions, but before obtaining Cui Heng’s permission, they definitely did not dare to leave.
White Tiger Child, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He didn’t even want to go back. He only wanted to continue playing around. At most, he would go back in another hundred years.
In any case, he had already become an Earth Immortal and had a long lifespan.
“Lord Overseer!” At this moment, Liu Litao’s voice sounded. Soon, he arrived and bowed respectfully to Cui Heng. “Lord Overseer, I have something to report.”
“What is it?” Cui Heng looked at him and asked with interest, “Is it about the Emperor of the Great Jin?”
He brought back everyone who had attended the banquet in the Wang Family’s mansion, including Wei Yi, the Emperor of the Great Jin. As a senior official, Liu Litao was sent over to accompany him.
“Yes, Lord Overseer.” Liu Litao nodded and said, “At this moment, the Emperor of the Great Jin is outside and wants to see you.”
