Chapter 686: Imperial Lord
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Shen Lian was in the temple, the other end of the vast starlit sky was not peaceful.
The most existence of the universe was the stars. Even the Daoist Master could not determine the number of stars. This was because every moment, there were stars dying, and stars to be born. In any galaxy, there could be billions or hundreds of billions of stars and any of the shining stars would not be smaller than Qing Xuan Earth and Star. Furthermore, the distance between any two stars was so far that it required the light to travel months or even years to arrive.
If there were not a sign in space, the travel between any viewable stars would take a much longer time.
Besides that, the people that were able to obtain energy from the void were at least at the state of heavenly immortals or had a magic talisman that could travel across the galaxies.
Although there were many galaxies, it was rare to have the existence of living beings. On top of that, the stars that were suitable for Qi cultivators were lesser. In the vast universe, Qi cultivators were not the sole survivors but they were the strongest survivors. This was related to the two generations of Heaven Courtyard and the passing of doctrine by the Daoist Master.
This broad galaxy was named Ziwei. It was a rare place with signs of life. It hid many ancient Celestials and ancient Buddhas. They established many paradise and small world. In this galaxy, the highest-ranking cultivator was Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu. Some said that he was the figure form of The Great Emperor Ziwei from the Four Sovereigns of Heaven Courtyard while others would claim that he was the reincarnation of a prominent figure from Yuxu Palace. Not only that, there were also rumors that he had obtained the pieces of the ruin Holy Script from the previous Heavenly King and so his cultivation was on par with Zhen Yuanzi from Wu Zhuang Temple and Founding Master Kunpeng from Palace Yaoshi.
However, all the rumors were not proven. Yet, Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu was the one with the highest authority. Daoist Yuding who wielded Palace Yuxu did not comment on his title ‘Yuxu’. Therefore, this gave much space to imagine the relation between the two.
Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu had bizarrely high cultivation but he still had human desires. Hence, his harem was full after years of accumulation. Some were real celestials, some were from the well-established big schools and some were from long-inheritance cultivation family. This was a rare sight because most celestials had low sexual desires.
Coincidently, Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu managed to control most parts of Ziwei Galaxy from his harem. It also could be seen that his power and influence were so prominent that his godly name was eulogized everywhere.
One of the setbacks was Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu could not establish reincarnation.
Reincarnation was the most mysterious presence in the universe. This was because reincarnation was just a small portion of the floruit Netherworld. It was everywhere but the Heavenly King and the Buddha only managed to grasp a portion of it. It was said that the Netherworld was one of the keys so Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was sent to investigate by the Buddha whereas many well-known celestials were sent to investigate by the Heavenly King. However, after a huge catastrophe, their presence was not known.
The Netherworld had some of the broken pieces but they could not restore their previous floruit. On top of that, only a few knew the existence of the broken pieces.
This included Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu. He wanted to discover the secret of reincarnation but there was someone who set up the Netherworld before him. Hence, he patiently waited until he felt that he had the equivalent capabilities and attacked.
The Netherworld was a mysterious place. It was shielded by the power of reincarnation.
Therefore, Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu could not know clearly what that was in the broken pieces. However, from his senses, he felt that there were major changes in the Netherworld.
The broken piece became stronger and became the core. Furthermore, it was also attracting the other remaining pieces, trying to restore its previous floruit.
The changes were little but it was getting faster.
If he did not make a move, he would not have a chance later.
Nonetheless, Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu could not do it because someone marked him. In this world, it was rare that someone could be his opponent. However, there was one under Daoist Master Taiyi, named Daoist Yuanqing. He was initially one of the Master of the Netherworld’s Congenital Killing Sword. Later, he became the disciple of Daoist Master Taiyi and cultivated the supreme Daoist body. Hence, his capability was on par with Daoist Yuding before Daoist Yuding went through the deadly trial.
If the person who marked Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu was just Daoist Yuanqing, Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu would not be bothered. However, Daoist Yuanqing had the help of another person. This person was a master in the path of Shen and his divine power was extraordinary. He managed to block any changes made by Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu.
The combination of both of them deterred Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu to leave Ziwei Galaxy.
Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu was not patience. Quickly, he summoned his trusted followers, Four Saint Zhenjun to the Imperial Palace.
The person leading was square-faced with a broad forehead and big ears. His mana was like an accumulation of the Milky Way and it was rolling in waves. With just pure mana, nobody in Ziwei Galaxy could compare with him.
His name was Marshal Tian Peng. He was one of the survivors from the destruction of Heaven Courtyard and Imperial Lord’s capable assistance.
Behind him was another three general. All of them were top Saints and together they were called the Four Saint Zhenjun.
Marshal Tian Peng greeted, “Was there anything that we could be of your assistance, Imperial Lord?”
Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu extended his hand and displayed a tableau. There were five parts to the tableau and there were male, female, Confucian scholar and Daoist. One of the pretty females attracted their attention.
If Shen Lian was present, he would know that the pretty female was the Founding Master Ziling.
Five of them were in different stars but the Imperial Palace enabled them to be connected. Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu ordered, “Bring them here.”
Marshal Tian Peng hesitated, “All five of them were famous in their respective galaxy, especially the Fairy Ziling. Her cultivation was strong and her swordcraft was incomparable. Even the Perfected Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao praised her. Hence, it is not an easy task.”
Ziwei Imperial Lord Yuxu said expressionlessly, “In Ziwei Galaxy, my orders were final.”
Marshal Tian Peng sighed secretly. Actually, he admired Fairy Ziling. He wondered what she did that the Imperial Lord needed her here.
Marshal Tian Peng owed a great favor to the Imperial Lord. Hence, he had to stay with him and obeyed his orders.
After receiving the order, they left. Outside the palace, Tian Peng stated, “Fairy Ziling had great mana so I would bring her back. I shall leave the rest to you guys.”
The other three men nodded and replied, “Do not worry, we will complete the order.”
