104: Suppress Emperor Xuancang, torture his soul!

"Very well."

Seeing that Yun Guanwu had made her decision, Gu Qingchen and Bie Jingque no longer hesitated and quickly followed.

Yun Guanwu, however, stood alone on the mountaintop, staring blankly at their disappearing figures.

A moment later, she finally let out a soft sigh.

"As expected of the Great Era of All Ages that father spoke of, the situation is ever-changing. Is Qingchen truly the destined one?"

...Above the Heaven Punishing Domain.

Di Xuancang's spirit boat passed through layers of Void Realm, rushing towards Chaos City.

On the spirit boat, he held the indestructible sword talismans in his hand, toying with them as he said, "Is the Yuanshi Secret Realm within the Holy Land ready to be opened?"

"Reporting to Saint, the Secret Realm Elder sent word that all resources required to open the Yuanshi Secret Realm are prepared, and it can be opened as soon as Saint returns."

"Mm."

Hearing his servant's reply, Di Xuancang nodded.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Gu Qingchen, you just wait!

How dare you step on me to ascend to the throne of the First Heavens Pride of the Righteous Path? Sooner or later, I will take back everything that belongs to me!"

That battle with Gu Qingchen was the greatest setback he had ever encountered in his life!

Even the 'I Am Invincible' state of mind he had cultivated not long ago was completely shattered.

With a flawed state of mind, the hope of becoming an Emperor in the future would be minuscule.

To change all of this, there was only one path.

That was to fight Gu Qingchen again and personally defeat him!

"Hm?"

At this moment, the spirit boat he was riding suddenly trembled, coming to a halt in the Void Realm.

His expression changed, and he immediately realized that someone had used an unparalleled grand technique to suppress this area of the Void Realm.

Before he could react, he felt an unparalleled might sweep over him.

In an instant, the clouds in the Nine Heavens rolled back.

Di Xuancang and his group had no power to resist and were swept into a world within a painting.

The power of Linglong transformed into chains, piercing through their limbs and bones, trapping them in the Void Realm.

After doing all this, Gu Qingchen and Bie Jingque did not linger, immediately leaving this place of trouble... "Whew!"

In Chaos City, Gu Qingchen and Bie Jingque rented a Cultivation secret chamber and temporarily settled down.

Gu Qingchen let out a long breath, then sighed, "This exquisite myriad worlds map is good to use, but the consumption is too great."

In the Black Calamity Abyss, he burned the Undying Blood refined from countless flesh and blood demonic creatures, which allowed the exquisite myriad worlds map to semi-recover. After that, he suppressed two Great Heavenly Venerates and one Yuan Venerate in one fell swoop.

That Undying Blood was of extremely high essence, so a fist-sized lump could revive a small portion of the Myriad Worlds Map.

This time, to avoid any accidents, Gu Qingchen once again activated the exquisite myriad worlds map, instantly suppressing Di Xuancang.

But even if he burned all the Spirit Stones, Spirit Sources, and even Divine Sources on his entire body, it only caused the exquisite myriad worlds map to recover a trace.

If he didn't burn these resources and simply relied on his own spiritual power to activate it, he would probably be completely drained, and the exquisite myriad worlds map would likely show no reaction.

The Cultivation Realm difference was simply too great.

The exquisite myriad worlds map was a heavenly emperor weapon, while he was only at the first heaven of Refined Dao.

To say it was a difference between heaven and earth would be an understatement.

In Gu Qingchen's estimation, after he Breakthrough to the Supreme Realm, he would be able to rely on his own strength to revive a trace of the exquisite myriad worlds map's Emperor's might.

"I suspect you're showing off."

Hearing Gu Qingchen's words, Bie Jingque, who was beside him, rolled her eyes charmingly.

That was an emperor weapon!

Have you ever seen a young Prodigy who could carry an emperor weapon around with them?

Generally speaking, such profound artifacts would not appear unless the Holy Land faced the danger of extinction.

"By the way, why would Linglong Holy Land give an ultimate emperor weapon to an outsider like you?"

Bie Jingque couldn't understand it at all.

Even the direct children of Great Emperors, when out adventuring, weren't qualified to carry an emperor weapon with them.

What, are you, Gu Qingchen, perhaps the Reincarnation of Linglong Holy Land's founding Old Ancestor?

"I don't know either."

Gu Qingchen shrugged, "The Linglong Holy Lord insisted that I have the appearance of a Great Emperor and wanted to marry her Saintess to me. This exquisite myriad worlds map was given to me as an advance dowry."

"You're just bragging."

Bie Jingque snorted lightly, not believing him at all.

Seeing this, Gu Qingchen smiled and didn't continue to explain.

He said, "Now that Di Xuancang has been completely suppressed, I'm going to interrogate him. Do you want to come along?"

"Of course."

Hearing this, Bie Jingque said impatiently, "That's why I'm here."

...While Gu Qingchen and Bie Jingque were interrogating Di Xuancang, Yun Guanwu had already sent the information back to Taixu Holy Land.

In just a moment, a Yuan Venerate descended across Realms.

Upon seeing Yun Guanwu safe and sound, and even having improved in strength, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Little Old Ancestor, the Holy Land has received the information you sent back. The Holy Lord attaches great importance to this matter and has already gathered a group of core Grand Elders. As soon as you return to the Holy Land, discussions on this matter can begin."

"Mm."

After Gu Qingchen left, the smile on Yun Guanwu's face had already vanished, returning to her cold demeanor.

Even when facing the Yuan Venerate's respectful expression, her face remained impassive.

And this Yuan Venerate of Taixu Holy Land also seemed accustomed to it.

After all, this young girl before him was truly their Taixu Holy Land's Ancestor!

As the direct daughter of Great Emperor Taixu, her seniority was immeasurable.

Before leaving, she looked back once more in the direction Gu Qingchen had disappeared, and after a moment, said, "Take me back to the Holy Land."

"Yes, Little Old Ancestor."

...Within the exquisite myriad worlds map.

The moment Di Xuancang saw Gu Qingchen, his expression instantly shifted from anger to surprise, and then to resentment.

"Gu Qingchen, it's you?!"

"What, very surprised?"

Gu Qingchen raised an eyebrow and said, "No need to be so surprised. First, tell me when Yuanshi Holy Land began colluding with the Demonic Path?"

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Di Xuancang was even more astonished.

Very few people knew the inside story of the connection between Yuanshi Holy Land and the Demonic Path.

How did this Gu Qingchen find out?

However, when he recognized the identity of the young girl beside Gu Qingchen, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

"The current Saintess of Heaven Punishing Dao? Gu Qingchen, did you see me in the Undying Sword Forest not long ago?"

"That's not important."

Gu Qingchen waved his hand and said, "You just need to honestly confess everything you know.

Of course..."

At this point, Gu Qingchen paused for a moment, a smile playing on his lips.

"I hope you don't speak, so I can directly search your Divine Soul and refine your spirit to find the answers myself."
