237: Young Man in Gold

"Why aren't you making a move?"

Xu Qing ignored the people around him and focused his gaze on the Human Ancestor.

The latter's expression subtly changed; things had already exceeded his expectations. His intuition told him that each of these nine Divine Dragons could easily crush him.

He looked towards the Demon Ancestor and the other three, but they paid him no mind.

"Keep an eye on them!"

Xu Qing's voice rang out, and then the nine-dragon carriage sought to pass through layers of the Void Realm, heading towards the peak of Tianyang Divine Mountain.

"Stop!"

Seeing this, the Demon Ancestor and the other three could no longer sit still and hastily tried to intervene!

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar, a terrifying Divine Might, instantly enveloped the entire Tianyang World. All living beings trembled at this moment.

This was truly supreme power, approaching from afar, crushing all in its path, like the manifestation of the Great Dao, or an unnameable existence descending upon the world. All living beings in the Tianyang World shook in unison, feeling this immense power, filled with dread, and involuntarily prostrated themselves.

The only ones not prostrated were the Five Ancestors!

"This is Imperial Might!"

"Oh my God, this is the Divine Might of a Great Emperor!"

The Eternal faction exclaimed. No need to ponder, no need to guess, it was almost instinctive!

Especially the Emperor Sect; they had all witnessed the power of Imperial Weapons and clearly understood what this power represented.

Moreover, it shook the entire Tianyang World. Even a Peerless Quasi-Emperor, though powerful, could not shake an entire world. Looking at all living beings in the Tianyang World now, their Souls moved with this oppressive power.

Such a commotion could only be caused by a legendary Great Emperor.

A Great Emperor was an existence who commanded the vast starry sky, revered by Heaven and Earth, and obeyed by all.

"What kind of being is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"It's an Emperor Realm being, this is the Great Emperor being recorded in ancient texts!"

"..."

The living beings of the Tianyang World were utterly terrified!

"My master said to keep an eye on you all. I hope you'll be well-behaved!"

A cute voice sounded. Unbeknownst to them, a black tiger the size of a house cat but exceptionally majestic in appearance had appeared on the Heavenly Sun Dao Field.

This black tiger looked harmless, yet it exuded terrifying Imperial Might. Its eyes were like those from the Nether, sending chills down everyone's spines!

Dark Moon retracted his Imperial Might, smoothed his slightly curled fur, and fixed his small eyes on the Five Ancestors.

"Oh my God, this is actually a Demon Emperor!"

"No, the Demon Emperor actually calls the person in the carriage 'master.' How is this possible? Could it be..."

Many people showed looks of disbelief. For a Demon Emperor to call someone else 'master,' that person must also be an Emperor!

This was explosive information!

At the same time, they were horrified. Faced with such an existence, they had no thought of resistance. If the other party didn't want the events of today to spread, wouldn't that mean... In an instant, they became terrified and uneasy.

In contrast, while the Five Ancestors weren't as panicked as the others, they also felt a fatal threat.

Although Dark Moon was only an ordinary Great Emperor, he was an Undead Nether Tiger. He could even contend with top-tier Great Emperors who controlled 30% of the Great Dao, let alone the Five Ancestors who possessed Great Emperor combat power by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, the nine-dragon carriage had arrived before the Immortal Palace.

"You know why I'm here!"

Xu Qing looked at the Immortal Palace and spoke slowly.

"Creak!"

The Immortal Gate of the Immortal Palace slowly opened!

The living beings of the Tianyang World, witnessing this scene, were filled with fervent excitement and knelt down in Pious worship.

To them, Tianyang Great God was the God of Creation; they had almost all grown up listening to the stories of Tianyang Great God. Therefore, they were Tianyang Great God's most loyal followers.

Everyone wanted to see the true face of Tianyang Great God, but they were disappointed. Only auspicious clouds gathered, once again hiding the Immortal Palace behind a curtain.

Before the Immortal Palace, Xu Qing, seeing the Immortal Gate open, stepped out from behind the curtain!

He was fearless, walking towards the inside of the Immortal Palace. He had divined his own fortune, and the hexagram was very auspicious. The System also gave no danger warnings!

As Xu Qing entered the Immortal Palace, the scene before him suddenly blurred, then brightened again. He appeared above a lake.

Looking around, the entire lake was filled with golden lotuses, and at the very center was an eighty-one-petaled golden lotus!

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a Jin Yi youth materialized from the eighty-one-petaled golden lotus.

The Jin Yi youth bloomed like a golden lotus, emanating immortal light, with the sound of the Great Dao emanating from his body. This sound of the Great Dao was very soft, yet it lingered in Xu Qing's ears, like morning bells and evening drums, striking Xu Qing's Dao Heart.

"Buzz!"

The Heaven and Earth Daoist Robe on Xu Qing's body emitted countless divine lights. At this moment, he seemed like a banished immortal descended to the mortal realm, peerless and unparalleled. The sound of the Great Dao was instantly isolated.

Seeing this, the Jin Yi youth's sound of the Great Dao grew stronger, like the roar of a grand bell. At this moment, the surrounding scenery shifted, and the two seemed to have arrived in a world where Heaven and Earth first opened and the Great Dao manifested. Infinite sounds of the Great Dao swept towards Xu Qing, as if to assimilate him.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xu Qing closed his eyes. The sound of his Heaven and Earth Dao Heart beating within him grew louder with each beat. At the same time, his entire being's aura merged with the surrounding world, erupting in immeasurable immortal light. The Jin Yi youth's sound of the Great Dao, sweeping over Xu Qing, was deflected.

At this moment, he was impervious to all laws and untouched by all things!

Gradually, with each beat of Xu Qing's heart, the surrounding world also began to beat.

"Pfft!"

The Jin Yi youth burst like a bubble, and the surrounding anomalies instantly vanished with him.

When Xu Qing opened his eyes again, before him was still that same lake.

"Unity of Heaven and Man, Dao follows nature."

On the twenty-eight-petaled golden lotus, the Jin Yi youth was looking at Xu Qing with a slight smile!

"Yang Heaven Star Official, under the seat of Yang Heaven Palace, greets Your Eminence!"

Without waiting for Xu Qing to respond, the Jin Yi youth bowed to Xu Qing.

"Your Eminence?"

Xu Qing frowned. If ancient texts were not mistaken, this should be the respectful address of a lower-ranked deity to the most noble deity among all Heavenly Gods.

"Indeed! Your Eminence is able to ride Jun Tian Dao Ancestor's carriage, clearly a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor!" The Jin Yi youth said with certainty.

Xu Qing was surprised, not expecting the other party to recognize the origin of the nine-dragon carriage. But thinking about it, it made sense; after all, the other party was a Star Official under Yang Heaven, so his knowledge was naturally extraordinary.

The other party also mistook him for Jun Tian's direct disciple, which was good for building a closer relationship.

"You know why I'm here?" Xu Qing asked.

"I know!" The Jin Yi youth nodded, "The key of yang heaven!"

Then, the Jin Yi youth narrated: "During the War of Annihilation, the deities of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld were all tied up by the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Races. I was ordered by the Dao Ancestor to leave the Heaven Realm with the key of yang heaven and lie low on the Eternal Continent. However, after more than ten epochs of lying low, I was discovered by the top Great Emperors of the Demon, Devil, Insect, and Three-Eyed Four Races."

"I engaged in a battle with the Four Emperors, ultimately sacrificing Reincarnation for extreme sublimation, suppressing the four Great Emperors within my Small World."

"Later, the Human Race rose, and the Ten Thousand Races and the Human Race erupted into a million-year-long war. Under such a conflict, the Eternal Continent collapsed, forming four continents. Eventually, the Ten Thousand Races retreated, and the Human Race became the protagonist of Heaven and Earth!"

"The Four Emperors also died after their Lifespan was exhausted by me, as they received no reinforcements. I, too, was severely wounded, leaving only a remnant Soul, struggling through one epoch after another!"

By the end of his words, the Jin Yi youth's eyes were filled with sorrow.

While Xu Qing was shocked by the ancient secrets, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for the Jin Yi youth's plight.

"Now, my mission is finally over! It's time for me to leave!"

In the Jin Yi youth's eyes, there was joy and relief at having completed his mission.

"You already know I am of the Human Race!"

Xu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked.

"I know! I also know you have no relation to the Dao Ancestor!"

The Jin Yi youth smiled at the corner of his mouth.
