The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 1806 - 1803: Between Billows and Ripples

The Feathered Celestial Maiden and her companions swiftly made their way back to the Yuhua Immortal Sect.

Alarm rippled through nearly all the formidable figures within the Sect.

The venerable old Sect Master himself emerged, extending an invitation to the most skilled Alchemist from Xuanzhou to aid the Feathered Celestial Maiden in stabilizing her critical injuries.

Concurrently, Zheng Wushan approached the Heavenly Domain Gate, commencing his return journey to the Heavenly Domain Emperor Heaven to offer his respects to Emperor Mu.

The Great Ruins were on the cusp of closing their doors.

And a monumental upheaval was poised to descend.

Outside the grand expanse of Emperor Mu’s Palace.

Zheng Wushan presented his respects to an Emperor General.

Given Zheng Wushan's standing, he was, naturally, not afforded the privilege of a personal audience with Emperor Mu.

At long last, the Emperor General materialized, informing Zheng Wushan, "The Emperor Road shall soon be opened."

Following this announcement, a vial of Elixir was bestowed upon Zheng Wushan, accompanied by a dismissive gesture.

Zheng Wushan respectfully retreated, his curiosity only permitting him to examine the Elixir once he was well clear of Emperor Mu’s Palace precincts.

Daluo Sacred Pill!

Upon sighting these four ancient characters, Zheng Wushan's pupils constricted instantaneously.

Could this be...

A genuine Holy Pill!

Only the most elite Medicine Saints of this epoch possessed the capability to refine such a supreme concoction.

Among the ranks of Alchemists, the hierarchy was meticulously defined: from one to nine Tripods, ascending to Medicine King, Medicine Emperor, Medicine Sect, Medicine Venerate, Medicine God, Medicine Saint, and finally, Medicine Sovereign!

The esteemed realm of Medicine Saint stood just below the pinnacle of Medicine Emperor!

Not merely within the Lower Realm, but even within the Heavenly Domain itself, such a master was an exceedingly rare entity.

Within the hallowed halls of Emperor Mu’s Palace, a mere nine Medicine Saints were present.

To merit the bestowal of Holy Pills as a reward, one would have to be an exceptionally formidable general or a contributor of immense significance to Emperor Mu's cause.

"It appears Emperor Mu holds Yun Si in exceptionally high regard..."

Zheng Wushan mused internally.

With the Daluo Sacred Pill in hand, Yun Si's predicament would undoubtedly find its resolution.

Naturally, Emperor Mu's profound regard for Yun Si represented but one facet of the situation.

More crucially, it stemmed from the pronouncement of a specific decree...

The Emperor Road is about to open!

This signified that the Emperor Road, traversing all Heavens and Myriad Worlds, was imminent in its unveiling.

In such a critical juncture, any failure on Yun Si's part to ascend the Emperor Road at the earliest moment would constitute a grave disadvantage.

A minor delay upon the Emperor Road could result in an insurmountable gulf in progression.

It was abundantly clear that Emperor Mu harbored no desire for such an outcome.

Zheng Wushan diligently transported the Daluo Sacred Pill back.

And within the stark, desolate expanse of the Heavenly Domain Emperor Heaven, a location known as Cloud Heaven Peak.

This secluded place also bore the designation of a Forbidden Land within the Heavenly Domain Emperor Heaven.

A place accessible only to Emperor Mu himself.

At the very summit of Cloud Heaven Peak, a youthful figure clad in an Emperor Robe adorned with Cloud Patterns was seated in a cross-legged posture within the Void. With every exhalation, the boundless Chaotic energies roared in his wake.

The most formidable Laws governing existence permeated the space around him from all directions.

Though he remained utterly still, his presence commanded the universe to revolve around him.

This individual was none other than one of the legendary Double Emperors, who had attained the absolute zenith of power ninety millennia prior.

Emperor Mu, known as Mu Yun.

A figure of legend, whose journey began in the Eternal Mountain of the Ancient Great World, later venturing into the Xuanhuang Great World, joining the Yuhua Immortal Sect, and subsequently becoming a disciple under the tutelage of the Undying Night Emperor.

Mysterious words flowed like this.

Mu Yun's bearing was one of profound tranquility, his entire being exuding an aura of extreme ease.

Moments later, the surrounding clouds and ethereal mists began to stir and tremble.

Mu Yun slowly unfurled his eyes, and within the deliberate opening and closing of his gaze, boundless power surged forth, creating and annihilating universes in an instant, reducing them to mere dust.

Ultimately, the celestial anomalies within Mu Yun's eyes subsided, leaving his gaze fixed upon the distant expanse, akin to the twinkle of stars.

During this preceding period, he had been diligently engaged in the restoration of his Emperor Soul.

His Cultivation Technique inherently possessed flaws, and furthermore, his avatar's descent into the Lower Realm had resulted in grievous injury from his Master utilizing a Soul Box, severely compromising his Emperor Soul.

Compounding these issues, the vengeful forces of the Revenge Lineage had emerged, their conflict reverberating across ten of the Thirty-Three Heavens within the Heavenly Domain.

Fortunately, a semblance of stability had eventually been achieved, with Senior Sister Changxi holding the frontline, effectively quelling the widespread chaos.

Yet, he never truly felt that this outcome constituted victory.

This was due to the fact that the Revenge Lineage had not sustained any fundamental damage.

To speak nothing of their leaders, not even their core members had endured any losses.

In stark contrast, two of his esteemed Emperor Generals had sustained severe injuries, and Senior Sister Changxi's contingent fared even worse, with the Black Lotus Emperor General vanishing without a trace, presumed to have fallen victim to an assassination orchestrated by the Revenge Lineage.

Consider this: this era was meant to be the dawn of the Double Emperors, a time destined for their unparalleled glory.

Whether encompassing All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds or the entirety of the Heavenly Domain, dominion was meant to be firmly under their control.

Yet, amidst this supposed era of dominance, a disruptive force known as the Revenge Lineage chose to intercede.

They even managed to strike down Emperor Generals who served under the Double Emperors.

For the Double Emperors, could there be a more unbearable humiliation than this?

Thus, for the Twin Emperors, as long as the lineage of vengeance persists, their victory remains incomplete.

Later on, he engaged in a duel with Senior Sister Changxi.

In reality, he emerged on the losing side of that particular contest.

Senior Sister Changxi, out of consideration for his pride, ultimately proposed an alliance against the vengeance lineage, but an accord could not be established.

Previously, Master stood on the opposite side of the Heavenly Domain Gate, face-to-face with Senior Sister Changxi.

Following that encounter, further discussions were held, yet a resolution remained elusive.

Presently, the vengeance lineage is poised to make its move once more.

"Are they reacting to Master's actions?"

Mu Yun murmured softly, his countenance placid.

He had indeed sensed the impending opening of the Emperor Road.

This occurrence represents a flaw within the Heavenly Mechanism.

Ordinarily, the advent of the Emperor Road is intrinsically tied to the Heavenly Dao Suppression.

Without the release of the Heavenly Dao Suppression, the Emperor Road would not materialize.

Yet, at this juncture, the Heavenly Dao Suppression has not progressed to its subsequent stage of unsealing.

Nevertheless, the Emperor Road has already begun to exhibit signs of opening.

"Master, oh Master, I must concede, you possess truly remarkable fortune."

Mu Yun let out a chuckle, then continued in a hushed tone:

"However..."

"The Emperor Road of this era is not so easily conquered to its zenith."

"Even a Quasi-Emperor treads upon it with the peril of potential downfall."

————

Lotus Realm.

The entirety of this world unfurls like a blooming lotus, suffused with a five-colored Divine Light.

Within each luminous ray resides a universe of immense scope.

In this manner, the myriad streams of five-colored Divine Light coalesce to form the Lotus Realm, forging a distinct world amidst the vast, empty darkness.

It exists as one entity within the collective All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

At this precise moment, outside the confines of the Lotus Realm, an ancient and profound Dao slowly materializes, enveloped by swirling Chaos Mist.

And the very instant this ancient grand Dao comes into being.

The entire Lotus Realm trembles with great intensity, as if an unseen, ancient portal has been flung open.

Every cultivator dwelling within the Lotus Realm is profoundly affected!

Gazing into the distance, one can discern another world situated not far from the Lotus Realm.

This entire world radiates like an eternal sun, its brilliance unwavering, casting forth intense light.

Encapsulated within that sun are countless universes that constitute the world.

This is none other than the Great Sun Realm!

A realm where the Sun Flame Clan originated, much like the Lotus Realm, it too is part of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Currently, above the Great Sun Realm, an expanse of unending Chaos also manifests.

As the Chaos Qi performs its cleansing ritual, an ancient, majestic Dao is gradually revealed.

A similar phenomenon is unfolding across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

However, it merits special attention that no unusual occurrences are observed within the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

Despite this apparent tranquility, the Three Thousand Great Worlds harbor supreme experts stationed on their peripheries, who promptly transmit news of these unfolding events to their respective domains.

In an instant, all the worlds are plunged into a state of profound awe!
