159: The Four Emperors of the old heaven.

In an instant, several powerful Immortals appeared around them.

Li Yan was protected by Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao, and through the gaps, he could see the appearance of the few people in the distance.

Those few people wore faded silver armor, with dim and mottled runes on their breastplates, and broken jade-wing helmets adorned with shattered dark crystals and wilted feathers.

Their long spears were stained with dark red rust and wrapped with tattered battle flags; only the dragon-patterned relief on their shoulder plates still retained its former majesty.

How could these Immortals be so disheveled? Don't they repair their broken armor?

However, upon closer thought, this place was the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, a place where time was stagnant.

There was no birth, aging, sickness, or death here; the ancient golden wheel hung eternally above the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, and even if millions of years passed in the outside world, this place would not change at all.

After understanding everything, Li Yan looked at the Immortals in front of him.

Even with Li Yan's Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, he couldn't discern their strength.

It seemed that even a minor soldier from the Old Heavenly Court would be a powerful expert in the outside world.

Several Heavenly Soldiers surrounded the massive Ancient Dragon, ignoring Li Yan's presence.

“Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao?”

“Weren't you captured by the Immortal of White Jade Capital and suppressed at the entrance of the Gui Xu Realm Abyss?”

“Interesting, White Jade Capital actually let you escape?”

The Heavenly Soldier narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of suspicion: “Or, has Ao Jiao become White Jade Capital’s dog?”

“Wagging your tail for pity, only to be let into this Gui Xu Realm Abyss to act as a spy?”

Facing the Heavenly Soldiers of the Old Heavenly Court’s questioning, Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao snorted coldly.

“I, Ao Jiao, also have backbone; even if it means my Divine Soul shattering, I will not bow to White Jade Capital!”

When facing outsiders, Ao Jiao completely lost the feeling she had just now.

At this moment, she was an extremely dangerous ancient giant Dragon, ready to unleash astonishing combat power at any time.

However, the Heavenly Soldiers were fearless, after all… this place was the Gui Xu Realm Abyss.

“No matter what your purpose, even if you are one of the four ancient gods of Chaos, what can you do to me now that you’ve come to this Gui Xu Realm Abyss?!”

If they were outside, the Heavenly Soldiers would have to show three parts of respect to Ao Jiao, as her strength was evident.

But within the Gui Xu Realm Abyss, everyone was Immortal and indestructible, so what did they have to fear?

Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao exhaled a puff of hot steam from her nostrils, her tone filled with disdain.

“If it weren’t for him wanting to come in, I wouldn’t want to come at all.”

Only then did the Heavenly Soldiers notice Li Yan, who was protected inside by the giant Dragon.

To be fair, it was indeed very difficult for them to spot Li Yan.

In front of this colossal creature, a Human Race was even smaller than a flea.

Li Yan calmly patted Ao Jiao’s Dragon body: “Step back; I cannot die in this Gui Xu Realm Abyss.”

“Mm.”

Ao Jiao’s massive body began to slowly shift.

The entire giant Dragon floated in mid-air, covering the sky and sun, making it hard for people to breathe.

Li Yan then flew forward, arriving before the few Heavenly Soldiers.

The six Heavenly Soldiers exchanged glances, and in each other’s eyes, they could see astonishment.

They secretly communicated through telepathy.

“Who is he?”

“This face is a bit unfamiliar; I’ve never seen it before.”

“To be able to make an Ancient Dragon obey his words, who in the world is he?”

Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao and the Old Heavenly Court were practically old acquaintances.

What kind of personality did Ao Jiao have?

Everyone understood the stubborn temperament of the Ancient Dragon Clan; no Human Race could command an Ancient Dragon.

Not even the Heavenly Emperor could!

The stubborn temperament of Ancient Dragons meant that unless there was a compelling reason, they would rather die than yield.

The Ancient Dragon Bloodline flowing within them made them value their dignity more than their lives.

Even during the era when the Old Heavenly Court ruled the Immortal Cultivation World, the Ancient Dragon Clan still roamed freely and refused to be disciplined.

But!

This young Cultivator who looked weak, this young man in a Daoist robe, could actually command this giant Dragon?

Moreover, Ao Jiao was famously strong-willed; how could she actually listen to this young Daoist?

The six Heavenly Soldiers looked as if they had ‘seen a ghost’; it was even more shocking to them than if the Heavenly Emperor had died.

One of the Heavenly Soldiers suppressed the shock in his heart and flew in front of Li Yan.

“Who are you?”

Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao raised her Dragon head, about to speak for Li Yan.

“He is one of our Ancient Dragon Clan’s…”

Before Ao Jiao could finish her sentence, Li Yan turned back and glared at her.

“Shut up!”

If anyone else dared to speak to Ao Jiao like that, Ao Jiao would fight him even if it meant her own demise!

But when Li Yan turned back and glared at her, Ao Jiao’s huge Dragon heart thumped wildly a few times.

“Good! Good!”

To the shocked gazes of the Heavenly Soldiers, Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao actually obediently shut her mouth!?

Not only was there no anger in Ao Jiao’s eyes, but instead, they were full of admiration.

She even muttered to herself: “So flavorful, that’s right! This is the Aura that an Ancient Dragon Royal Family should possess.”

“Ah, the Ancient Dragon Royal Family should be like this!”

Now, Ao Jiao was even more certain that Li Yan was a descendant of the Ancient Dragon Royal Family.

The Aura that had glared at her just now was like a Dragon’s roar, making her heart flutter.

In fact, she even wanted Li Yan to scold her a few more times; that feeling was just right.

If there weren't outsiders present, she would have wanted to be scolded a few more times.

And Li Yan, with just one sentence, made this untamed Ancient Dragon shut up, which truly opened the eyes of the six Heavenly Soldiers.

They secretly communicated through telepathy.

“This Little Daoist is probably not as simple as he appears.”

“Did he hide his strength?”

“Given Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao’s personality, she wouldn’t submit to someone for no reason.”

“Perhaps, this Little Daoist has a significant background.”

The six Heavenly Soldiers unanimously believed that Li Yan was probably the Incarnation of some great figure, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

His apparent Soul Transformation Stage strength was just a disguise.

The attitude of the six Heavenly Soldiers also changed.

“Your Excellency, you are a new face here.”

“What brings you to this Gui Xu Realm Abyss?”

Li Yan, relying on his Immortal Soul, directly stated his purpose.

“I want to see your representative; who is in charge of the Old Heavenly Court?”

The six Heavenly Soldiers raised an eyebrow, not expecting Li Yan to want to see the Heavenly Emperor right away.

Was the Heavenly Emperor so easy to see?

“Your Excellency, the Heavenly Emperor, our venerable elder, has been sleeping in the Divine Coffin ever since that great battle.”

“It is also he who maintains the existence of this Gui Xu Realm Abyss.”

“If you wish to see him, I’m afraid the other four Great Emperors will not agree.”

There are four Great Emperors?

As Li Yan showed a puzzled expression, Ancient Dragon Ao Jiao secretly transmitted a message.

“Those four Great Emperors are the Four Imperial Sovereigns who assist the Heavenly Emperor.”

“They are the Ziwei Star Lord, Xuan Yue War Marshal, Youdu Houtu, and Changsheng Siming.”

“Since the Heavenly Emperor is in the Divine Coffin, the Ziwei Star Lord currently manages all affairs of the Old Heavenly Court.”

“You don’t even know this? Didn’t your clan tell you?”

Ao Jiao was secretly pleased; this Little Bean seemed to know nothing, so it seemed she could be Li Yan’s ‘guardian’.

After all, this ‘young Dragon’ knew nothing, so she, as an older sister, naturally had to take on the responsibility of caring for the royal descendant.

Li Yan secretly noted down the names of these four Great Emperors, then spoke.

“I want to see…”

Before Li Yan could say the person’s name, a purple light illuminated in the distance.

“Young friend, are you looking for me?”

His voice was like ten thousand tons of stars falling from the sky, each word carrying the immense power of the Milky Way reversing, and before his voice faded, the Void Realm rippled with fragmented starlight, as if even the Laws of heaven and earth trembled and submitted to his words.
