230: Tianyang Realm, scapegoat

Xu Qing also gained a general understanding of this relic world.

This relic world is called Tianyang World, and it is divided into seven regions: Tianyang Divine Domain, Yanmo Domain, Wan Yao Domain, Tianyan Domain, Insect Domain, Human Domain, and Land of Chaos!

His current location is the Tianyang Divine Domain, and the mountain range behind him is a corner of the Land of Chaos. It contains various races, is extremely chaotic, and battles frequently erupt over territory.

The central peak is called Tianyang Divine Mountain, the sacred mountain in the hearts of all living beings in the Tianyang World. Every year, countless living beings travel to Tianyang Divine Mountain to worship.

Legend has it that Tianyang Divine Mountain is the pillar supporting the Tianyang World, and at the peak of the Divine Mountain is where living beings reside. The name Tianyang World comes from the peak of the Divine Mountain.

In ancient times, four Peerless Quasi-Emperors ascended the peak of the Divine Mountain, and the name Yang Heaven was brought down by these four Peerless Quasi-Emperors.

Initially, other powerful individuals naturally didn't believe it, but these four Peerless Quasi-Emperors received divine blessings and thus embarked on the path of divine Dao incense.

The four respectively established the Demon God Cult, Demon God Cult, Heavenly God Cult, and Blade God Cult. They then widely recruited believers and propagated their doctrines, and these four Peerless Quasi-Emperors thus gained Eternal Lifespan, surviving from ancient times to the present.

It was because of this that the living beings of the Tianyang World believed in the existence of gods in the world. Since then, people have continuously tried to ascend the peak of the Divine Mountain, but unfortunately, no one has succeeded again.

It wasn't until the Ancient Era that a Human Race Peerless Quasi-Emperor ascended Tianyang Divine Mountain and established the fifth divine cult, the Heaven-Human Divine Cult!

After that, no one could ever ascend Tianyang Divine Mountain again.

The five Peerless Quasi-Emperors who ascended Tianyang Divine Mountain back then were also called the Divine Ancestors by the living beings of the Tianyang World: Demon Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, Heaven Ancestor, Blade Ancestor, and Human Ancestor.

The divine cults under the Five Ancestors respectively governed five Great Domains, and the Tianyang Divine Domain is a hundred million li territory centered around Tianyang Divine Mountain. This is where the Five Divine Cults are located and is considered a Holy Land by other domains in the Tianyang World.

The five rivers of faith that Xu Qing sensed were flowing towards the Dao fields where the five cults were located, for the enjoyment of the five Divine Ancestors.

As for the Land of Chaos, it is a Land of Chaos in the Tianyang World, equivalent to the Land of Chaos on the Eternal Continent.

Countless years passed, and the Cultivation of the Five Ancestors had reached an incredible level.

Xu Qing had not seen the individuals, so he couldn't ascertain their Cultivation.

However, according to the information obtained, the strength of these five individuals is at least Quasi-Emperor Perfection, and perhaps even Peerless Quasi-Emperor. As for Great Emperor, the System has clearly stated that they have not become Great Emperors.

If the Great Dao does not appear, even a Heavenly God cannot achieve true godhood!

It's just that their Lifespan is a bit illogical. Even a Great Emperor cannot live beyond an Era, and the Lifespan of living beings in this world is similar to the outside, at most the four races other than the Human Race have longer Lifespans.

But they absolutely cannot live for a thousand Eras.

The first Four Ancestors should be the four Emperor corpses that gained sentience, and their survival to the present is understandable. After all, if an Emperor corpse gains sentience, as long as it can overcome the three calamities and nine tribulations, its Lifespan can be infinite.

But for this Human Ancestor to have survived for more than one Era, this is clearly somewhat unbelievable.

"System, is the Lifespan of a god Eternal?"

"Ding! The Lifespan of a god far exceeds that of any living being, but the Lifespan of a god is not infinite. Even a Heavenly God, if they do not achieve Dao, their Lifespan is only one Era!"

"One Era? A Heavenly God can have a Lifespan of one Era?"

Xu Qing was startled.

"Ding! Not all living beings who Cultivate the path of incense are gods. Gods must be conferred by the Ancient Heavenly Court to be called gods!"

Xu Qing understood this. He then asked, "Then why is their Lifespan so long?"

"Ding! Host will understand when he obtains the key of yang heaven!"

Xu Qing realized, it was indeed related to the key of yang heaven. As for where the key of yang heaven was, he didn't ask, as the System wouldn't tell him even if he did.

However, he already knew where the key of yang heaven was: at the peak of Tianyang Divine Mountain.

Xu Qing's gaze looked towards Tianyang Divine Mountain, as if to pierce through layers of illusion and see everything above the firmament, but it was shielded by a force, and his Chaos Dao Eye became ineffective under this force.

"Yang Heaven, worthy of being one of the Nine Heavens!"

Xu Qing murmured.

Two days later, Xu Qing left Man Niu City. Before leaving, he went to the Man Niu Clan's treasury and left a trace of power on the Man Niu general. In a few days, this general would die violently.

Just a few days after Xu Qing left, a group of Martial Artist emerged from the vast million-strong mountain range.

"Damn it! We finally got out!"

"Which scoundrel raided someone's treasury, causing me to be chased all the way!"

A middle-aged strong man said angrily, his aura of a four-step Quasi-Emperor overflowing. He looked back, his eyes filled with grief and indignation.

When they came, there were a thousand disciples, now less than two hundred!

Like the middle-aged strong man, many people's eyes were filled with rage.

These people were none other than the Martial Artist led by the Great Yi Immortal Kingdom. Compared to when Xu Qing saw them a few days ago, their team had grown.

Two more super forces and more than ten top forces had joined, but besides the five super forces, these top forces were all relatively battered.

Who would have thought that they would get nothing, and then nearly a hundred Quasi-Emperors and tens of thousands of Sacred Monarchs would jointly pursue them, claiming that these people had stolen their treasury.

If not for the intervention of several super forces, these people would probably have stayed there.

They looked at the million-strong mountain range behind them with some trepidation, filled with rage towards the person who had acted!

Their appearance also attracted the attention of Man Niu City.

In an instant, a million-strong army rushed out of Man Niu City and charged towards them.

"Daring thieves, how dare you steal our Man Niu City's treasury, hurry up and..."

A Man Niu Clan general, leading the charge, immediately reprimanded them loudly, but halfway through his words, his pupils contracted because the group of people in front of him had many terrifying auras.

"Damn it! It's the treasury again!"

"Ah! You dog, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

The strong man from before roared, extending his large hand, instantly sucking the one-step Quasi-Emperor Man Niu Clan general into his hand, and then forcibly soul-searched him!

All the Man Niu Clan soldiers, seeing this, were terrified and scattered, but they were instantly annihilated by several Quasi-Emperors.

Immediately after, he learned all the information about Man Niu City and also knew that Man Niu City's treasury had indeed been stolen.

The suspects were two young men, one of whom was holding a black tiger.

Xu Qing probably didn't expect that his identity would be uncovered so quickly.

In fact, this matter was related to that young general. His sudden violent death was linked by the Man Niu Clan's higher-ups to the stolen treasury, and upon investigation, Xu Qing and the other person became suspects.

Immediately after, news quickly spread that external evil demons had invaded the Tianyang World. External evil demons had appeared in all six Great Domains, and the Five Great Divine Cults even issued a decree: anyone who killed an external evil demon could go to the divine cult to receive corresponding rewards.

It was for this reason that the Man Niu Clan general, upon seeing them, rushed forward without thinking.

"Black tiger? Young man? It's him!"

The strong man's expression changed.

"Who is it?"

A group of Quasi-Emperors beside him stepped forward and asked, each filled with rage.

"The young man who killed Ghostly Wither Taoist a few days ago!" The strong man said.

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a chilling voice came. The strong man looked over and saw it was a Quasi-Emperor expert from the Vulture God Ghost Sect.

Among the newly joined super forces this time was the Vulture God Ghost Sect.

After he stepped forward and soul-searched, he instantly crushed the unlucky general's head, and his sacred soul was swallowed by him!

"Chase him for me!"

The old man led the people of the Vulture God Ghost Sect and chased after him into the depths.

The remaining Martial Artist then looked at the Great Yi Immortal Kingdom and others.

The Vulture God Ghost Sect dared to chase because they had the strength, but they did not.

"We're tired from the journey, let's find a place to rest!"

A voice came from within the Great Yi Immortal Kingdom, and then they pressed towards Man Niu City.

Clearly, Man Niu City was unlucky... [Note: I caught a bad cold with this cold snap, my head hurts terribly. I'll try to keep updating for the next few days. If I can update, I will; if not, I'll have to wait until I recover to resume updating!] [Sorry! ( .・＿・.)ﾉ I’m sorry ~]
