184: The thoughts of the emperors, the ninth sequence of the Zhentian Ancient Sect
Su Shengyuan was utterly speechless as he stared at the Tree Ancestor before him.
It turned out the Tree Ancestor had transformed into Qin Zixue's appearance.
And was even dressed in tattered clothes!
The parts that should be revealed were revealed, and the parts that shouldn't were half-covered, like a pipa player half-hiding her face—that was probably the scene.
The Tree Ancestor chuckled, "Isn't this less boring?"
As he spoke, the Tree Ancestor swayed his waist and walked towards Su Shengyuan.
Su Shengyuan could no longer bear it; his composure completely shattered!
He raised his hand and unleashed a Tribulation Light of Azure Heaven, striking directly!
The Tree Ancestor casually waved his hand, blocking the Tribulation Light of Azure Heaven.
"Alright, alright, I haven't been this happy in a long time. No more fooling around, let's talk business."
Su Shengyuan smiled upon hearing this, "I'd love to hear it! If the story isn't good, this Saint will leave."
The Tree Ancestor shook his head, "I want to ask you to do something for me!"
Su Shengyuan immediately stood up and walked away.
"No!"
He left with remarkable swiftness and freedom, truly like waving a sleeve without taking away a single cloud.
The Tree Ancestor: "..."
He felt the veins on his forehead bulging!
But in the end, he held back.
"Wait, I won't make you do it for nothing; there's compensation!" The Tree Ancestor stopped Su Shengyuan, trying hard to calm himself.
Su Shengyuan, however, smiled, "Aside from the True Source Seed, everything else is non-negotiable. This Saint doesn't lack your small change!"
However, the Tree Ancestor's reply somewhat surprised Su Shengyuan.
"Alright! As long as you can accomplish what I ask, the True Source Seed will be yours."
Su Shengyuan frowned, putting away his playful demeanor.
The Tree Ancestor was willing to change the rules of this game, allowing him to directly obtain the True Source Seed. This showed that the matter the Tree Ancestor spoke of must be very troublesome.
Perhaps even…
Life-threatening!
Su Shengyuan sat down on the ground again, chuckling, "Sit, old man. You're old, so don't stand all the time. This Saint suddenly remembered a habit: I like listening to old people tell stories."
He was also somewhat curious as to what kind of matter the Tree Ancestor couldn't resolve.
The Tree Ancestor: "..."
"This world is sick, and I hope you can heal it," the Tree Ancestor said softly after a moment of silence.
Su Shengyuan didn't speak, his eyes signaling the Tree Ancestor to continue!
Seeing that Su Shengyuan didn't retort, the Tree Ancestor was somewhat unaccustomed.
"Little friend, you plan to go to Immortal Demon Ridge, right? I can tell you that I'm the one who will open Immortal Demon Ridge, and I've already placed all the kongling leaves into Immortal Demon Ridge…"
As the Tree Ancestor gradually explained the whole story.
Su Shengyuan also understood what 'illness' this world had contracted!
"Tree Ancestor, are you saying that those Innate-born Chaotic Demon Gods have been corrupted by Bloody Underworld Energy and turned into Nether Puppets, which you've Sealed in Immortal Demon Ridge?"
"Once you pass away, the Seal on Immortal Demon Ridge will dissipate, and those Nether Puppets will rush out of Immortal Demon Ridge, slaughtering this world!"
"And the ultimate source of the Bloody Underworld Energy is the corpse of a Blood Nether Race Great Venerable deep within Immortal Demon Ridge?"
The Tree Ancestor nodded, "Exactly!"
Su Shengyuan was somewhat speechless, "So you want me to enter Immortal Demon Ridge, eradicate those Nether Puppets, and then destroy the corpse of that Blood Nether Race Great Venerable?"
The Tree Ancestor still nodded, "That's right, congratulations, you're good at answering quickly!"
Su Shengyuan rolled his eyes, "Why not invite the giant forces of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to attack Immortal Demon Ridge together?"
"Bargaining with a tiger!" The Tree Ancestor answered Su Shengyuan with only four words.
Su Shengyuan then asked, "Why choose me? Why do you think I have the ability to accomplish this?"
The Tree Ancestor explained, "Of the external beings who entered the Chaotic Great World this time, each was a target I selected. I observed for a long time and finally chose you because you possess a forbidden body that can bear the will of the Emperors. No one else, not even those in the Saint Dao Domain, can bear the will of the Emperors."
"The will of the Emperors…"
Su Shengyuan fell silent!
The Tree Ancestor's meaning was very clear.
He wanted Su Shengyuan to bear the will of the Emperors, enter Immortal Demon Ridge, slaughter everything, and completely resolve the hidden danger in the Chaotic Great World.
Throughout many eras, many Human Emperors who bore the Tianxin Source had cultivated at Dao Xuan Academy, so it was not surprising that the Tree Ancestor possessed the will of the Emperors.
Now, the Tree Ancestor had reached the point of impending demise and simply had no ability to resolve the matter of Immortal Demon Ridge.
So, he planned to take advantage of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' major forces' desire to scheme for the True Source Seed, and incidentally have them resolve the hidden danger in Immortal Demon Ridge for the Tree Ancestor.
As for the Blood Nether Race!
This was a very strange race. They lived in a space outside the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, most fond of devouring the Origin of various realms, slaughtering all directions, and fighting to sustain themselves.
They could be said to be the natural enemies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
There was even an supreme expert of the Blood Nether Race who once forcibly seized the Tianxin Source nurtured by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming an Emperor against Heaven's will, and slaughtered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
It was only through the selfless sacrifice of the myriad races' ancestors of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that they managed to slay that Nether Emperor.
And this also led to the decline of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, entering the Age of Dharma Decline, thus beginning the huangyun era.
Su Shengyuan hadn't expected that there were still Blood Nether Race remnants left in this world, and that they were suppressed by the Tree Ancestor.
After pondering for a moment, Su Shengyuan smiled, "This Saint will do it, but you'll have to pay a hefty price."
The Tree Ancestor looked at Su Shengyuan's cunning merchant face!
He was somewhat amused and exasperated!
Perhaps, he really had to pay a hefty price.
...
Cangjing Void Domain!
In an ancient city thousands of miles away from Immortal Demon Ridge.
Zhang Xuanguan of Nine Stars Divine Temple was sitting in an ancient building.
"Su Shengyuan, with the awakening of the Prodigies of various major forces this time, coupled with their Quasi-Emperor weapons, let's see how you die."
Zhang Xuanguan's eyes were filled with killing intent; he wished he could tear Su Shengyuan into a thousand pieces.
Last time, his scheme against Su Shengyuan backfired, and Zhang Xuanguan's killing intent towards Su Shengyuan had reached its peak.
With the opening of Immortal Demon Ridge this time, how could he let Su Shengyuan go?
"The news that Su Shengyuan is a great demon has already spread. I believe it won't be long before those Righteous Path individuals will gather again and be at my disposal."
"Moreover, Su Shengyuan's slaughter of the heirs and Quasi-Saints of various major forces has already aroused public anger. As long as I fan the flames, I can make everyone point their spears at Su Shengyuan!"
"..."
Zhang Xuanguan murmured, his eyes gleaming with sinister light, though his body was draped in the light of the Righteous Path.
Just then!
A terrifying aura came from outside, like a surging ocean, causing the entire ancient building to tremble uncontrollably.
"Zhang Xuanguan, do you know Su Shengyuan's whereabouts?"
A deep voice rang out.
A figure clad in Golden Armor, with a Heaven-Shattering Blade on his back, and terrifying blade light swirling around him, flew in from outside.
Any Nine Stars Divine Temple experts who tried to stop him were all obliterated by the blade light!
Zhang Xuanguan saw this scene and, instead of getting angry, smiled.
Help had arrived!
"Is the person who came the Zhentian Ancient Sect Sequence?" Zhang Xuanguan stood up and greeted him warmly.
The man with the Heaven-Shattering Blade on his back nodded indifferently, "Zhentian Ancient Sect's Ninth Sequence, Liu Tiandao! This Sequence asks you, do you have any news of Su Shengyuan?"
Upon hearing the three words 'Liu Tiandao'!
Zhang Xuanguan immediately became excited, even more enthusiastic.
The Prodigy of the Sky-Shattering Era, Liu Tiandao, was very famous!
He was even hailed as one of the Prodigies with the best chance of competing for the Tianxin Source.
Even in the huangyun era!
Liu Tiandao's name resounded throughout the Tian Shi Realm.
