561: The helplessness of the Sui emperor

"After the Young Prince disappeared, the Imperial Dynasty mobilized countless forces to search for him, but could never find a trace. Eventually, the search was abandoned, and no one knew if he was alive or dead."

"Gradually, no one remembered that Young Prince anymore."

Hearing this, the Peerless Sacred King frowned. Noticing Crown Prince Crown Prince Chu Sheng's apparent unease, his eyes flashed, and he coldly snorted, "After we return, this King will thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"With Chu Bloodline scattered outside, have you Old Ancestors never thought of leaving Central Province to search in more distant places?"

His words made the Old Ancestors of Great Chu bow their heads in shame. Some of them had awakened to handle the matter at the time, but gave up after finding him impossible to locate.

After all, at that time, the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty did not lack that one Young Prince. Moreover, Great Chu was not the only one to lose a prince; the Ancient Yao Dynasty also lost a Princess.

...

Endless Sea.

"Celestial has emerged! The dormant Celestial Restricted Area, though perhaps not as ancient as Immortality Mountain, conceals many terrifying powerhouses!"

"That day, I saw a large group of powerhouses returning to Celestial from Eastern Wilderness. I initially thought they were Cultivators from Eastern Wilderness, but it turned out they were powerhouses from Celestial! Yet, they seemed quite disheveled..."

"Could the overwhelming supreme emperor weapon aura that erupted in Eastern Wilderness be related to Celestial?"

Various messages spread throughout the core sea regions of the Endless Sea.

But this time, no force dared to bravely enter Celestial to explore, because that would be pure suicide!

Celestial is not Immortality Mountain; there are no opportunities there. It is merely a hidden refuge for powerhouses from outside Origin Star, from the Starry Sky of Vast Sky.

Although the powerhouses of Celestial have been suppressed by the Heaven and Earth of Origin Star, if they were to walk around freely outside, it might still attract some disaster or trouble, such as being targeted by the Heavenly Dao of Origin Star?

All of this is very possible.

Eastern Continent Holy Palace.

"That Chu Ying is truly a monstrous talent, an unprecedented, peerless Forbidden Mortal Body."

A very senior Peerless Saint King sighed. It turned out that the powerhouses of the Eastern Continent Holy Palace, using the supreme emperor weapon "Kunlun Mirror," had already witnessed the terrifying battle that occurred outside the Supreme Mystery Holy Land in Eastern Wilderness.

The battle between the Dao Traditions of Eastern Wilderness and Celestial.

Such a young hero turned the tide, single-handedly slaying three Quasi-Emperor-level powerhouses from Celestial, forcing Celestial to retreat and flee!

If Celestial had attacked any Dao Tradition in the Endless Sea instead of the Supreme Mystery Holy Land in Eastern Wilderness, probably no one could have stopped it.

Of course, the Supreme Mystery Holy Land alone could not have withstood Celestial's assault, as those beings from Celestial also wield no less than four supreme emperor weapons.

It was not Chu Ying's power alone that repelled Celestial; the supreme emperor weapons of the various Dao Traditions also contributed.

Otherwise, even Chu Ying could not have turned the tide.

"It is expected that the Starry Sky Ancient Road rupture in the Supreme Mystery Holy Land has been repaired. The Kunlun Realm can no longer glimpse the heavenly secrets of that rupture. It was originally blocked by the supreme emperor weapon of the Supreme Mystery Holy Land, but now it can no longer be sensed."

"This is excellent, and it has also cut off the intentions of those from Celestial. If the rupture guarded by Supreme Mystery were to fall, all five major sections of Origin Star would suffer immense damage."

The highest echelons and most powerful Old Ancestors of the Eastern Continent Holy Palace were filled with emotion.

In fact, when Celestial emerged, the supreme emperor weapon Kunlun Realm had already sensed it and activated.

Upon discovering that Celestial had actually gone to Eastern Wilderness to attack the Supreme Mystery Holy Land, they prepared to go and assist, as Eastern Wilderness is part of Eastern Continent, and their Endless Sea region is the Eastern Continent Endless Sea.

However, before they could teleport across the sea, the great battle there had already concluded.

It was so sudden, so sudden that it caught them off guard and left them utterly astonished.

"After the storm, there will be a new cycle of rebirth. When the Seal of the Starry Sky Ancient Road beneath the Dark Abyss of Central Province automatically dissipates, it will be the complete recovery of the Heaven and Earth of Origin Star, and also the beginning of the Emperor's Path struggle."

"Perhaps some forces will rise, achieving an immortal Dao Tradition, or perhaps powerful Dao Traditions will perish or decline on the Emperor's Path."

"We old fellows are not qualified to set foot on that path. We only hope that the Disciples who inherit our Legacy can go further on that path, to another world."

...

Central Province.

Great Sui Imperial Dynasty!

"My Imperial Son, may this father ask a favor of you?"

The Sui Dynasty Emperor of the Great Sui Imperial Dynasty looked haggard, his hair long since white.

Sui Caixian, in an elegant palace gown, was graceful and dignified. Now that she had returned to the Imperial Dynasty, she was the majestic Princess of Great Sui.

Sui Caixian bit her lip, already knowing what her Imperial Father was about to say.

"Our Great Sui Imperial Dynasty can no longer hold on."

"Not to mention internal strife, external threats are also quite severe."

The Sui Dynasty Emperor sighed bitterly, "It's bad enough that those several aristocratic families and Dao Traditions occupy their respective provinces. Now, the Uncrowned Demon Lord, leading the demons from Demon Transformation Island in the Endless Sea, is wreaking havoc and has already refined one province of our Great Sui!"

"Whether this vendetta can be avenged is still unknown. If no one can stop that Great Demon, I fear our Great Sui is in peril..."

His gaze was profound as he looked out from the Imperial Palace at the distant, hazy sky, sighing deeply:

"Although it's fortunate that the Uncrowned Demon Lord has already left our Great Sui and gone into the territory of the Ancient Yao Dynasty, the threat of the demon lord is still not optimistic. Our Old Ancestor was severely injured by the Uncrowned Demon Lord..."

The implied meaning in the Sui Dynasty Emperor's words was that he wanted Sui Caixian to ask the man who had given her the Undying Spring Water and the Divine Tree Leaf for help.

That is Chu Ying!

"My Imperial Son, can you please invite..."

As he spoke, the Sui Dynasty Emperor also hesitated, his old Face filled with shame:

"That Young Master Chu is now a peerless hero of the Endless Sea, a monstrous Forbidden Mortal Body, capable of slaying at least a Late Stage Great Saint Realm Cultivator."

"Such a hero would not give Face to our Great Sui Imperial Dynasty, but he would give Face to you, my Imperial Son..."

Sui Caixian's clear eyes flickered, and she softly said, "Imperial Father, you don't need to say more. I will go find him."

"If it really comes down to it, I will offer myself to him."

As she said this, a mischievous and expectant glint flashed in Sui Caixian's eyes.

"Alas, my Imperial Son, it is this father's uselessness. I have shamed our ancestors..." The Sui Clan of the Great Sui Imperial Dynasty is now sparsely populated and extremely dilapidated. Their strongest Old Ancestor, though not a Peerless Saint King, was also severely wounded.

If not for the timely activation of an supreme emperor weapon to deter the Uncrowned Demon Lord, their fate would have been uncertain.

The Sui Dynasty Emperor was equally helpless.

"My Imperial Son, you have been wronged. If that Young Master Chu truly likes you, even if our Great Sui divides half of its territory as your dowry, it would not be out of the question!"

The Sui Dynasty Emperor's gaze became firm. He did not want to let down his Imperial Son. Besides being the current Emperor of the Great Sui Imperial Dynasty, he was also Sui Caixian's father.

It is said that imperial families have no kinship, but the Sui Clan of the Great Sui Imperial Dynasty was already dwindling in population. If there were no kinship left, their Bloodline might not even be able to continue.

"It's no hardship."

Sui Caixian, however, had bright, intelligent eyes and smiled gently, "Imperial Father, do you know his identity?"
