Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Great Yi Sect, deep within the forbidden grounds.

Here, there is an ancient hall, consisting only of a floor, with no walls or roof, the four sides and above being a dark void.

Within the hall, there is a brilliant light.

One can see many objects resembling coffins placed there, with arrays of laws beneath them, constantly channeling dragon vein energy from the arrays into these coffin-like objects.

"Is this matter really going to be left like this?"

A cold and unwilling voice echoed from within one of the coffin-like objects.

"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that our self-imposed slumber was too long, and our essence, energy, and spirit were severely depleted, we would have left that brat and that woman in the Eternal Saint Realm behind that day!"

"A mere newcomer to the Eternal Saint Realm actually dared to come to my Great Yi Sect to show off! So what if she might step into the Ten Directions Myth, and have the potential to become a giant in the future! Her realm is only at the initial stage of the Eternal Realm!"

"Alright! We have been discussing this matter for several days now, and several days have passed since it happened. Haven't we already reached a conclusion? Why are we still dwelling on it? This is not the mindset that we Eternal Saint Realm experts should have."

The voice that spoke these words was that of the expert who had spoken to Jun Wuxie that day.

Although his realm was only at the Lesser Heavenly Position in the Eternal Saint Realm, he held a high prestige and status among the Eternal Saint Realm experts of the Great Yi Sect.

His seniority was the highest, dating back to ancient times. Only by using some secret method in order to live to this era did he fall from his original realm of the Greater Heavenly Position in the Eternal Saint Realm.

"Even a Supreme must not be humiliated, but we, experts of the Eternal Saint Realm, were actually forced to remain dormant in that situation. It is indeed difficult to let go."

A voice responded in this way.

The aged voice said, "This great era is about seizing opportunities! Dignity and face are not that important! Moreover, it was our people who went too far and kicked a steel plate! Yi Xun and the others should have been eliminated, otherwise, in this great era, who knows what kind of trouble they would have caused for us! Although my Great Yi Sect is a dominant force, we cannot withstand such turmoil!"

"Yes, the times have changed. In this great era, one must act with humility. Even dominant forces should tread on thin ice. After all, anything can happen in such an era. That young man dared to act so aggressively in my Great Yi Sect, and not to mention what he relies on, even if we were to fight that woman by his side, we would suffer heavy losses!"

"We have only awakened for a short time, and our essence, energy, and spirit have not yet recovered. In a one-on-one fight, none of us are her match. Even if we join forces, if we really push her to the brink, it is very likely that one of us will be killed! Such a huge loss is unbearable. Not to mention the starry sky, just within the Azure Firmament Ancient Star, there are many dominant forces. Other dominant forces have preserved their Eternal Realm foundations intact, while we have suffered losses, what does that mean? This risk must not be taken!"

"Let this matter rest for now. As for what to do in the future, we will see how things develop. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can vent this anger. If there is no opportunity, then let it be! We cannot let the mistakes made by those useless fools in the sect affect the fate of my entire Great Yi Sect in this era! This era is an era of opportunities, and also an era of life and death!"

… …

Eight Nine Profound Palace, next to Jingya's small courtyard, Chan'er is now by the lake, quietly gazing at the surface of the water. The slightly damp wind carries the scent of the lake, blowing against her exquisite and perfect peerless face, causing her ink-like black hair to flutter in the wind.

Now, only a young girl in figure, looking fourteen or fifteen years old, she is already beautiful to the extreme, her features like works of art carved by the supernatural craftsmanship of heaven.

At this moment, Chan'er is not as innocent and naive as she is in front of Jun Wuxie. There is a hint of faint sorrow between her delicate eyebrows, making her look much more mature, with a unique charm.

"Chan'er."

Jingya walked to her side, seemingly knowing what was troubling her, and sighed, "Why not consider telling him directly?"

"I… I dare not… I'm afraid…"

Chan'er gently shook her head. Hearing this, Jingya held her hand and said, "He loves you so much, and you have a symbiotic relationship of destiny, you are destined to be his woman, no one can change this. Even if he feels pressured because of this, I think it will only be temporary. Besides, with his personality, so what if you are a female emperor, as long as he wants to, he will still take you to bed. You don't know how domineering and wild he is when he favors Jingyi, like a savage beast, and he doesn't seem to feel any pressure because Jingyi is the previous generation's Heavenly Dao."

Hearing this, Chan'er looked at Jingya with envy in her eyes, and said quietly, "Jingyi, you are so happy, you are all very happy, Sister Yinlan, Sister Lilia…"

Jingya was speechless when she heard this. She smiled faintly and said, "You, you just like to overthink. Could it be that you are not happy? The so-called bystanders see clearly, while those involved are confused. Haven't you noticed the way he looks at you every time, which is full of doting and affection."

"Really?"

Chan'er was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes became brighter.

"Yes, does he not love and cherish every woman around him? Each of you is his precious darling, and you have a symbiotic relationship of destiny with him. So, tell him the truth, don't be afraid."

"But… but I'm afraid that after he knows, he won't love me like before. After all, our identities are different. If there is even the slightest bit of estrangement in his heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it…"

Chan'er was worried about gains and losses, causing Jingya to sigh. She knew that Chan'er was too attached to him because of the symbiotic relationship of destiny, so she would have such a mentality.

Because of this relationship, even a female emperor like her behaves like a young girl who has just fallen in love.

Because in front of him, what female emperor's majesty, what emperor's Dao heart, are all useless.

"Hey, if you don't trust him like this, if he finds out, he will definitely make you cry all night…"

Jingya said with a smile, and two blushes appeared on her face.

"Ah? Why cry all night?"

Chan'er looked at her blankly, her face full of question marks.

"Crying all night means…" Jingya leaned close to her crystal ears and whispered.

Chan'er's originally blank cheeks quickly filled with red, she bit her bright lips, and looked at Jingya with eyes that could drip water, "Jingyi, how can you say such embarrassing words～"

"Is there? Jingyi didn't say anything."

Jingya smiled, but her face was flushed.

… …

In another space of the Eight Nine Profound Palace, here is an endless sea of flowers.

The flowers grow on soft, verdant meadows, like a colorful carpet spread on the ground.

Jun Wuxie lay in the center of the sea of flowers, holding Lilia in his arms. There was still undried sweat on her skin, and there were tear stains on her beautiful face, and her eyes were still wet.

Lilia gently rubbed her face against his chest. She liked this feeling so much, his breath, his warmth, his strength were all so clear.

Over the years, she had dreamed of such a scene countless times, but after waking up from her dreams countless times, all that was left for her was endless emptiness and fear.

For so many years, she had not even dared to be sure if he was still alive!

When she left the Lower Realm that year, the weeping of blood rain that time, everything was telling her that the man she loved had fallen, sacrificed to quell the flood of the end of the world!

But she was unwilling to accept such an ending, and always held a glimmer of hope in her heart, because her man was a legend, how could he just fall like that?

For many years, she had been hoping that one day, he would suddenly appear in front of her, love her and cherish her.

Now, this wish has finally come true.

This is the happiness she wants, so happy that she can't help but cry.

She likes and is infatuated with the feeling of being loved by him, so happy that she can't control herself and cry.

"Lilia."

Jun Wuxie hugged her and suddenly turned over, gently stroking her cheeks, stroking the tears on her eyes and face, which were a little cold.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do well enough in the Lower Realm, so I had no choice but to have Jingyi send you to the Upper Realm, making you suffer so much hardship and walk so many difficult roads over the years."

"Husband, you are not allowed to blame yourself. In Lilia's heart, husband is the most majestic man in the world. You have done things that no one else can do. Husband, you don't even know how happy and proud Lilia is to be your woman. What are those hardships? There is no life without hardships, and besides, it's all over now. Now that I am in your arms, being loved and cherished by you, it is the happiest and most joyful thing in this life."

"Okay, husband won't say it anymore."

Jun Wuxie kissed her red lips, then hugged her and lay down again, "Your cultivation has improved so quickly over the years, is it because you absorbed the power of the Dao Fruit?"

Lilia shook her head, indicating that she had obtained a great opportunity in the secret realm in recent years, so she had such a fast cultivation speed.

"I see."

He naturally saw Lilia's realm, which was already in the Holy Emperor Realm, several small realms higher than him, and the intensity of her talent growth had reached the ninth heaven of the mythical realm, and was about to break through to the tenth!

He talked about Ji Yinlan's ambition to create a method and take the path of dual Dao Fruits.

As a result, Lilia said that she had also been trying to create a method in recent years, and wanted to try to cultivate a new Dao Fruit in this life, so that the collision and fusion of the dual Dao Fruits in the future would make it possible to go higher and further.

"I didn't expect you to choose this path too…"

After Jun Wuxie's surprise, he felt that it didn't seem strange. Yinlan is a heavenly woman, and Lilia is also a heavenly woman. They are both female heavenly emperors of a certain era, with the same vision and similar ideas, which is normal.

He suddenly thought of Yue Chenyu, and hadn't seen her for a long time.

These days, she has been cultivating in the Eight Nine Profound Palace and has never contacted him to say that she wants to come out.

It seemed rare for Yue Chenyu to cultivate in seclusion like this. At least, he had never seen her cultivate this way before.

Could it be that Chenyu also has such thoughts?

After all, she is the Time Heavenly Maiden, the female Heavenly Emperor who walks the path of time. In terms of talent and aptitude, she should be considered excellent even among the Heavenly Emperors.

Would she not think of the path of Dao Fruit collision?

It depends on how much of her Heavenly Maiden memories have been restored. If all of them are restored, then taking that path is probably inevitable.

Yin Lan and Lilya have both chosen this path, which means there probably isn't a better way. So, Chenyu will most likely make the same choice.

"You can focus on thinking about the path you want to take in this era and creating the techniques you want to cultivate. There is ten times the time in the Lower Realm. You can go back and see Xian'er and stay in the Lower Realm for a while longer. When I have time, I will go back to see you."

"Okay."

Although Lilya wanted to be by his side at all times, she knew that he had a heavy burden and his own path to walk, and he couldn't fall behind even a step.

"Moreover, in the Lower Realm, you can discuss with Yin Lan and Xiao Xiao and exchange ideas, which may have unexpected effects."

Saying this, he kissed her soft, red lips, "If you miss me, you can bring Xian'er to the Upper Realm to see me at any time, but I can't guarantee that I will always be in the Imperial Dynasty. However, the passage between the two realms is convenient, so you can come and go at any time without wasting any time. Alas, the evolution of the Great Era is very fast. After arranging the affairs of the Imperial Dynasty, go to Ice Heart Pavilion to see Xuelan and Qi'an. I also have to go around. I can't miss the opportunities of this Great Era…"

Jun Wuxie still felt a lot of pressure because he still had to find the Congenital Primordial Divine Metal to repair the Zhenyu Pagoda.

Only when the Zhenyu Pagoda is completely repaired can Qingxue's strength slowly recover, and she can truly break free from the shackles of the Zhenyu Pagoda!

However, the Congenital Primordial Divine Metal conceals itself. Unless it is within a certain range, even the Heavenly Emperor cannot sense its existence.

Therefore, wanting to find the Congenital Primordial Divine Metal is easier said than done. It all depends on chance, and it is something that cannot be sought!
