379: Imperial Scripture

At the same time, before that vast stone wall.

"Rumble..."

The Dao inscriptions on the stone wall began to blur, and the supreme Dao Rhyme contained within, like a candle in the wind, dissipated rapidly.

"No! Give me a little more time!"

"It's too fast! This Emperor's Tomb is quieting down too quickly!"

Exclamations, sighs, and unwilling roars sounded among the crowd of Cultivators seeking the Dao.

Many Cultivators immersed in the deepest level of realization were forcibly awakened, their faces filled with extreme annoyance and regret.

The Emperor's Dao Laws were right before their eyes, yet they vanished in an instant; this feeling of gaining and then losing was maddening.

But once the process of the Emperor's Tomb quieting down began, it was irreversible.

Wang Zhan, Ji Xuanye, Xing Lan, the Jiang Family Divine King Body, Su Qingyuan of Yaochi, and other top prodigies also broke away from their deep state of realization one after another.

Powerful auras surged around them, and their eyes shone with divine light; clearly, they had gained tremendous benefits from the recent realization, with both their cultivation Realm and their understanding of the Dao having made significant progress.

Wang Zhan slowly opened his eyes, pale blue holy radiance flowing at the bottom of his eyes, his aura even more condensed and heavy than before.

His gaze was like lightning, precisely locking onto Xiao Ruobai and Ling Xi.

He took a step forward, his Saint might naturally permeating the area, his voice like rolling thunder, drowning out the noise of the scene:

"Battle Asura! Azure Rakshasa, outside the Emperor's Tomb, let us have a battle!"

His gaze swept over Xiao Ruobai and Ling Xi, carrying the absolute confidence and soaring Battle Intent of a newly ascended Saint.

"I will wait for you!"

As his voice fell, he transformed into a pale blue stream of light, carrying the people of the Archaic Royal Family, and swept toward the exit.

Xiao Ruobai's expression was calm, his War God's Qi and blood restrained, as if he were a rock.

Ling Xi was as cold and aloof as ever, though a faint glimmer, as if she had long anticipated this, flashed in her deep eyes.

This scene instantly ignited the anticipation of all the Cultivators who were evacuating!

"It's happening! The Saint Wang Zhan is challenging that mysterious woman!"

"King Realm against Saint Realm! Just thinking about it is exciting!"

"Get out quickly! Grab a good spot! We absolutely cannot miss this!"

The immense sense of anticipation even diluted the urgency brought about by the quieting of the Emperor's Tomb.

The crowd, like a torrent, surged toward the exit, all wanting to witness with their own eyes this world-shaking battle that was destined to shock the Eastern Region.

Just as the crowd was thinning, a figure, slightly hurried, passed through the unstable spatial ripples and landed beside Gu Changge; it was Xuan Yangzi.

His face showed not anxiety, but rather an excited flush.

"Junior Brother!"

Gu Changge looked at his Senior Brother's happy appearance and asked with slight confusion: "Senior Brother, didn't you go to look for Senior Brother Shi? Why did you only come now? Did you encounter some happy event? And where is Senior Brother Shi?"

Xuan Yangzi rubbed his hands together, leaned in, and whispered: "I let him go out first. Heh, guess what? In the corner of a half-collapsed side hall, I found something good!"

He patted his storage Magic Treasure mysteriously, his eyes glowing: "It's definitely a great treasure! The aura is very ancient; I'll examine it carefully once we get out and are safe!"

Gu Changge glanced at him and replied indifferently: "Hmm, let's go."

The two followed the last batch of people out of the Emperor's Tomb and returned to the land of the Desolate State.

At this moment, the outside world was bustling with noise; the various factions had not immediately left, mostly watching from a distance, either healing their wounds or talking.

Everyone's gaze, involuntarily and with shock and awe, looked toward the distant horizon.

On the sky above a wasteland hundreds of miles away, the heaven and earth lost their color, and wind and thunder stirred!

Thick dark clouds, like ink, churned and gathered, covering a radius of a hundred miles. Within the clouds, countless purple and golden lightning snakes, as thick as mountain ranges, darted frantically, emitting deafening roars.

A destructive heaven and earth might enveloped the surroundings, making the many Cultivators tens of miles away feel their Divine Soul tremble; those with weaker cultivation even turned pale, almost kneeling down.

In the center of the dark clouds, Wang Zhan stood proudly, his pale blue Qi and blood rising to the sky like wolf smoke, fighting crazily against the Lightning Tribulation that filled the sky.

The moment he left the Emperor's Tomb, he had triggered the Heavenly Tribulation of becoming a Saint!

At this moment, Wang Zhan was bathing in an endless sea of lightning.

Lightning cracked, arcs of electricity shot everywhere, turning that piece of sky into a purgatory of lightning.

Wang Zhan's figure appeared and disappeared in the lightning, and every confrontation erupted with earth-shattering roars; the toughness of his Saint body and the tenacity of his will were enough to make one's heart race and soul shake.

"Saint Tribulation! This is the true Heavenly Tribulation of becoming a Saint!"

"Observing such a scene of Undergoing Tribulation is of great benefit to us in understanding the Laws of heaven and earth and solidifying our dao foundation! We absolutely must not miss it!"

Exclamations and praises came one after another.

The Elders of the various factions ordered their Disciples to watch attentively; this was a rare spectacle.

The young prodigies stared unblinkingly, trying to glimpse a trace of the mysteries and power of the Saint Realm from the confrontation between the heaven's might and the Saint body.

Further away, Xiao Ruobai, Ling Xi, Fang Hanyu, and others stood quietly on a mountain peak, watching Wang Zhan Undergoing Tribulation from afar.

Gu Changge and Xuan Yangzi took a look but did not stay. With a few flashes of their figures, they silently arrived at an uninhabited valley.

As soon as they landed, a figure followed, revealing Ling Canglan.

He first respectfully bowed to Gu Changge: "Master."

Then he turned to Xuan Yangzi: "Sect Master."

Without waiting for Xuan Yangzi to respond, Ling Canglan held up the dark gold Emperor Scripture with both hands, his expression solemn: "Sect Master, Master, I have not failed my mission. The 'qing cang emperor scripture' is here, please take a look."

"The Emperor Scripture! It is truly the Emperor Scripture!"

Xuan Yangzi's eyes went straight the moment he saw the scroll exuding majestic Emperor Might, and he was so excited that his beard curled up.

He carefully took the qing cang emperor scripture with his hands.

Although the Azure Profound Sect was not lacking in Great Emperor Cultivation Techniques now, the physical body of the Emperor Scripture that carried the Great Emperor's scriptures was a genuine Emperor-level treasure.

It was an existence that could serve as the foundation of the Sect!

"Good! Very good! Little Ling, well done! This Sect Master knew long ago that you are the backbone and pillar of my Azure Profound Sect! It was not in vain that the Sect has carefully cultivated and strongly supported you for many years!" Xuan Yangzi was radiant, his excitement overflowing.

Gu Changge, who was on the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly.

He spoke so convincingly; someone who didn't know better would really think that Ling Canglan's Great Saint cultivation and heaven-reaching sword Dao were cultivated by Xuan Yangzi.

Gu Changge casually raised his hand, and a seemingly ordinary cyan Jade Slip appeared at his fingertips, waving it over the qing cang emperor scripture.

"I have already imprinted the Emperor Scripture here."

Gu Changge handed the Jade Slip to Ling Canglan.

"The Qing Cang Battle Intent and true understanding of the Dao contained within it are all in this slip. I give this slip to you; study it diligently and do not let down the legacy of this Human Race predecessor."

Ling Canglan received the Jade Slip with both hands.

As his Divine Sense probed into the Jade Slip, his expression became even more solemn.

This Jade Slip actually contained the Master's own sorting and even sublimation of the understanding of the 'qing cang emperor scripture'! This was simply a huge gift!

"Thank you, Master! Canglan will definitely not fail your high expectations!"

Ling Canglan bowed respectfully in excitement.

Xuan Yangzi was stunned at first, then overjoyed, hugging the original Emperor Scripture in his arms tightly, smiling until his teeth were invisible: "Hahaha! Good! Changge is thoughtful! Canglan, you study the Jade Slip, the Sect will keep the original Emperor Scripture safe!"

Gu Changge looked at Xuan Yangzi's miserly appearance and shook his head helplessly.

His gaze, however, had already turned outside the valley, piercing through the Void Realm, and seeing the fleeing Ku Xuan and the people from the Western Region.

One more chapter added, one chapter still owed!

I will see if there is a chance to update again tonight; everyone doesn't need to wait, you can watch it tomorrow morning.
