112: The Future! The Book of Time! Emperor Wenyao's Plea
"Great Emperor Literary Radiance."
Mu Zun hadn't expected this temple to involve the Legacy of an Emperor Realm Expert.
The tall figure before him was constantly chanting something, and every word was etched into Mu Zun's mind.
Star Radiance Returning Dust Art.
This was a genuine Emperor Scripture, something that countless orthodoxies throughout the Myriad Universes would fight over.
Any power that possessed an Emperor Scripture was undoubtedly an Orthodoxy at the level of a top-tier Universe Holy Land.
The figure soon stopped whispering, his murky and desolate eyes giving Mu Zun a deep look.
He reached out and grabbed at the Void Realm.
In the Void Realm, ancient and crystal-clear runes began to manifest one after another.
Each of these runes emitted a pure and flawless light.
Mu Zun's usually calm face showed surprise upon seeing the runes.
For he felt the passage of years within those runes, as if time were flowing relentlessly like water.
Everything before Mu Zun's eyes began to change.
It was as if he had boarded a train, crossing era after era.
This was an incredibly long and distant journey.
This fleeting time and the crossing of eras could obliterate any existence.
No matter how powerful your cultivation, how immortal your Physical Body, or how invincible your Divine Ability, all would be washed away by this time and vanish completely.
Mu Zun was no exception.
The long passage of time destroyed his Double Pupils, and his invincible Saint Body gradually aged as time flew by, losing its original brilliance.
Yet, even so, Mu Zun's emotions didn't ripple in the slightest, nor did he waver at all, even after losing all his Immortal Endowments and Divine Abilities.
For what eternal time could not obliterate was the invincible Dao within Mu Zun, and that invincible Dao Heart that feared not ten thousand years.
Even if my Immortal Endowments disappear and my cultivation dissipates, I, Mu Zun, am still invincible.
Amidst this passage of time, Mu Zun saw a figure.
The figure stood within the Myriad Universes, holding a Heavenly Book in his hand, with various strange objects emitting terrifying auras circling around him.
There was a small pagoda, a ring, a heart... Below him were his ten million followers, situated within a massive, unprecedented Formation.
But in the next second, a terrifying light strong enough to illuminate the Myriad Universes erupted from him as the center.
A power surpassing the Emperor Realm exploded at that moment.
The ten million followers within the Formation perished in an instant, turning into nothingness.
The Myriad Universes were moved at this moment, drawn toward that figure.
And in the process of being moved, terrifying natural disasters capable of destroying any Supreme or Quasi-Emperor formed within the Myriad Universes.
Countless living beings died, and some Universes even shattered directly during the movement.
"Attempting to merge the Myriad Universes into one, at the cost of sacrificing all living beings within those Universes."
The voice of Great Emperor Star Radiance reached Mu Zun's ears.
Before his eyes, just as the Myriad Universes reached a distance where they were about to collide, no living beings remained alive within them.
Boom!!!
The moment the Myriad Universes touched, a massive sound like the creation of the world erupted.
However, after the Myriad Universes collided, the imagined fusion did not occur.
Instead, the collision caused the Myriad Universes to instantly collapse and head toward destruction.
"Impossible... I clearly followed the method in the Heavenly Book..."
A voice that sounded somewhat out of control came from that figure.
Hearing this voice, Mu Zun immediately remembered who he was.
Wasn't this the one who had previously broken into the Profound Heaven Realm, wanting to take him as a disciple?
As the shadows gradually faded, the figure's appearance was revealed to Mu Zun.
It was indeed Ancient Dust Immortal!
Everything around him changed once again.
The return trip of the time train set off once more.
Before Mu Zun, the figure of Great Emperor Literary Radiance appeared again.
"Everything you saw was the future shown by the time scroll..."
"The person just now is named Ancient Dust Immortal, using the alias Yin Crow; he is an old monster who has lived for countless ages..."
"..."
After recounting all the information he knew about Ancient Dust Immortal, a flash of sorrow passed through Great Emperor Literary Radiance's eyes.
"He is my... Master..."
"Only you can stop him... Don't let the tragedy happen again..."
"You can take everything in the temple, including the temple itself."
A mark belonging to the temple appeared; possessing it would allow one to control the entire temple.
After speaking, Great Emperor Literary Radiance's figure vanished from Mu Zun's Sea of Consciousness... "How interesting."
After Great Emperor Literary Radiance vanished, Mu Zun chuckled and looked again at the runes that had taken him through time.
"The time scroll, one of the nine great heavenly books. To be able to Master such a Supreme treasure, it's likely that this Great Emperor Literary Radiance is not dead."
nine great heavenly books.
It is said that before the heavens and earth opened, Chaos was like an egg; Chaos gave birth to the Absolute Beginning, the Absolute Beginning derived nine characters, and the nine characters were inscribed into nine books.
These nine books can be traced back to the source of the Great Dao, making them the most precious of treasures.
Also, this Ancient Dust Immortal reminded Mu Zun of the protagonist of a certain ultra-long web novel from his previous life.
Looking for the sheep boy, are we?
No wonder Mu Zun felt a sense of kinship after his previous contact with Ancient Dust Immortal.
Both possessed an invincible Dao Heart.
Mu Zun relied on his own peerless Immortal Endowment to comprehend it, while Ancient Dust Immortal honed it through long ages and his undying Yin Crow Body.
So he's that type of Child of Destiny... No, this no longer falls within the category of a Child of Destiny.
"I suppose this counts as being backstabbed by a disciple."
Mu Zun shook his head.
However, this Great Emperor Star Radiance was clearly a righteous Cultivator; knowing that Ancient Dust Immortal would do such inhumane things, it was only natural for him to turn against him.
Mu Zun exited his Sea of Consciousness, and his surroundings returned to the temple.
Although so much time had passed within his Sea of Consciousness, only a few seconds had gone by in the outside world.
"What's wrong, Lord Saint?"
Seeing Mu Zun suddenly daze out after taking the crystal ball on the platform, Fang Chensheng asked somewhat nervously.
"It's nothing."
Mu Zun shook his head slightly and suddenly tapped his finger on the center of Fang Chensheng's forehead.
"This Emperor Scripture is most suitable for you, and it perfectly aligns with the Cultivation Technique you practice."
As Fang Chensheng felt the influx of information, Mu Zun's voice transmission echoed in his ears.
An Emperor... Scripture?!
Fang Chensheng's eyes widened, his expression one of shock.
An Emperor Scripture was not just any Divine Ability or Daoist technique.
Every Emperor Scripture represented a Legacy.
An expert who possessed an Emperor Scripture would have the chance to become an Emperor and could even establish a Supreme Orthodoxy; its value was self-evident.
Fang Chensheng began to doubt if he had misheard.
But when he began to comprehend the Star Radiance Returning Dust Art, he truly realized he hadn't misheard.
It really was an Emperor Scripture!
Fang Chensheng's eyes reddened, and he was about to kneel and kowtow to Mu Zun immediately.
But he was held up by an invisible force.
"This Legacy belonged to you in the first place."
Mu Zun smiled.
This indeed was a Legacy meant for Fang Chensheng.
The time scroll, the Emperor Scripture, the temple.
Every single one of them was incredibly suited to Fang Chensheng.
However, they had been intercepted by Mu Zun.
