129: A Celestial Emperor's artifact, not belonging to the Holy Realm?
As for that one Late Stage Immortal Venerable subordinate and the two others, while they were helpful to his current self, the help was not particularly significant.
This was because he already had two Immortal Venerables now, and even if all five of them were added together, they likely couldn't stop a single Peak Immortal Venerable. Thus, their help was limited.
As for that Immortal Venerable-level Alchemist Legacy, it was of great help.
This meant he only needed to continuously gather Heaven And Earth Treasures within the Saint Realm to refine powerful Medicinal Pills to nurture his subordinates.
After reviewing the previous items, Gu Jixiao finally focused all his attention on the main event.
[immortal emperor artifact: Allows the user to wield the power of the Three Thousand Laws, greatly enhancing strength and purifying all things. It contains a world within. Below the level of Immortal Emperor, the wielder can be invincible among Peak Immortal Venerables.]
Hearing the System's description, Gu Jixiao's breathing couldn't help but quicken.
"Immortal Emperor? Is that the Realm above Immortal Venerable? In other words, as long as Wang Xuan holds the immortal emperor artifact, she will have power that rivals or even surpasses the Three Great Saint Venerables?"
Gu Jixiao thought to himself, feeling his previously somewhat bent back suddenly straighten up.
However, after thinking of something, he shook his head again.
"No, although I have an immortal emperor artifact, god knows how many trump cards the Three Great Saint Venerables have held after ruling the Saint Realm for so many years. What if they join forces with the Gui Huan Clan?"
"It's still better to wait until I have a Peak Immortal Venerable subordinate or until I personally reach the Peak Immortal Venerable stage before I stop being so cautious."
Gu Jixiao thought secretly; after all, he was a person of extremely steady character.
If the certainty wasn't ninety-nine percent?
Then how was it different from seeking death?
"I should first fuse the God Grade Spirit Root, then extract those 3.8 million years of cultivation base to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm and have some self-preservation power first."
"And who knows, maybe I can even break through to Peak Immortal Venerable in one go."
Gu Jixiao thought to himself, and then silently chanted in his heart.
"System, extract the God Grade Spirit Root."
In the next moment, a warm current emerged from the Void Realm and flowed into Gu Jixiao's body.
The saint grade spiritual root within Gu Jixiao's body also began an invisible transformation at this moment.
However, for some reason, the transformation from a saint grade spiritual root to a God Grade Spirit Root seemed extremely complex, so the time consumed was also very long.
Saint Domain.
"Did he really say that?"
Karma Immortal Venerable's expression was ugly as he asked the two people in front of him.
Heavenly Poison Immortal Venerable and Rock King Immortal Venerable nodded, not daring to hide anything.
"Saint Venerable, where would we get the guts to lie to you? This is indeed what the Five Elements Immortal Venerable said."
"Hmph, whether this Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty has a so-called Peak Immortal Venerable, I will know once I calculate it!"
Karma Immortal Venerable simply did not believe it.
In his view, if someone wanted to break through to Peak Immortal Venerable, there was no way the Three Great Saint Venerables wouldn't sense even a bit of the commotion.
Let alone Peak Immortal Venerable, they could even sense a Breakthrough from Immortal Emperor to Immortal Venerable.
Therefore, Karma Immortal Venerable did not believe for a second that the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty had a Peak Immortal Venerable.
He glanced at Heavenly Poison Immortal Venerable and found the image of Wang Teng from the other's memory.
After learning Wang Teng's appearance, Karma Immortal Venerable pinched his fingers, wanting to calculate Wang Teng's origins and the strength of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty behind him.
This was the authority of the Law of Karma; with one look, one could know everything.
But at the moment Karma Immortal Venerable began his deduction, in the next instant, a burst of supreme power directly surged back from the River of Time.
Beside him, Destruction Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable's faces changed drastically.
"Not good!"
They could sense that the supreme power's strength was the same as theirs, both at Peak Immortal Venerable, and the target was very clear: Karma Immortal Venerable.
So the two did not hesitate at all, taking action to help Karma Immortal Venerable block this supreme power.
However, upon touching that supreme power, their expressions became increasingly solemn.
Because they sensed that the strength of the person who attacked was even greater than theirs.
Ultimately, at the cost of slight injuries, the two finally managed to block that supreme power.
"How is it? Have you calculated the origin of this Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty?"
Destruction Immortal Venerable's expression was extremely ugly as he looked at Karma Immortal Venerable and asked.
Actually, from the moment that supreme power surged back from the River of Time, the two of them knew that this Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty definitely had a Peak Immortal Venerable existence, and their strength was likely not weak; the Law they mastered should even be the Time Law.
But looking at Karma Immortal Venerable again, his face was full of shock.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
Seeing Karma Immortal Venerable's expression, Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable's heart also grew heavy, and he hurriedly urged him.
"What exactly did you see?"
As Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable spoke, Karma Immortal Venerable forced himself to calm down.
After calming down, Karma Immortal Venerable looked at the two and said in an extremely solemn tone.
"I cannot deduce the existence of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. It seems as if this Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty has never existed."
"What! What do you mean by that? Is it possible that the supreme power just now appeared out of thin air?"
Destruction Immortal Venerable snorted coldly, his tone already carrying a hint of anger.
Karma Immortal Venerable clearly realized this as well and let out a bitter laugh.
"No, my meaning is that this Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty is likely not a force originating from our Saint Realm. Otherwise, the Law of Karma would definitely be able to deduce its existence."
"Therefore, the greatest possibility is that this Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty comes from outside the Saint Realm."
As long as it was a Saint Realm force, it would be recorded within the Three Thousand Laws.
Karma Immortal Venerable, who mastered the Law of Karma, could peer into everything belonging to the people of the Saint Realm forces.
But he could not peer into anything of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, so the only possibility was that the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty did not belong to the Saint Realm forces.
The one possibility Karma Immortal Venerable had never considered was that it was because of Gu Jixiao that the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty's life had been renewed.
Otherwise, according to the normal timeline, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.
"However, what can be proven now is that there is definitely a powerful existence like a Peak Immortal Venerable in this Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, even stronger than any one of us individually."
"Therefore, for now, maintain a non-hostile attitude toward the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. If they want to take over the entire Saint Realm, then we will act together to destroy the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty."
Karma Immortal Venerable took a deep breath and then spoke.
Destruction Immortal Venerable and Yin and Yang Immortal Venerable thought about it and could only follow what Karma Immortal Venerable said for now.
But just then, they sensed something and almost simultaneously looked toward a certain part of the Saint Realm, their expressions becoming solemn.
"That commotion... someone has broken through to Immortal Venerable, and it's within the Heavenly Direction Territory!"
