Cheng Fengyuan’s fingers gently twirled the cloth, deep in thought.
His Fourth Royal Brother had suddenly left the mortal world and headed to the Divine Lands. This had already caused many people to be puzzled.
Back then, everyone had guessed that he might have gone down to search for some kind of treasure.
Now, it seemed that it was actually for a page of the Heavenly Book?
South Chu was one of the top forces in the mortal world.
Cheng Fengyuan was a Martial Saint who was the direct descendant of the South Chu royal family. He was one of the top figures in the entire South Chu Dynasty.
Although the brothers Cheng Qiyuan and Cheng Huyuan were also princes, before they reached the Divine Realm, it was very difficult for them to be on par with Cheng Fengyuan.
The information that Cheng Fengyuan could grasp was naturally far from what ordinary people could compare to.
He knew that a huge event that shook the entire world of mortals had happened a while ago. A strange treasure that looked like a book page had suddenly fallen into the world of mortals.
The pages were scattered and there was a limited number of them. If they could not form a book, it should be just a part of the incomplete Heavenly Book.
However, every page of the book was a treasure that contained great power and profound principles.
As long as one could obtain one of the pages and comprehend the concepts within, one would benefit endlessly.
Even the most powerful figures in the mortal world were attracted.
The Red Dust World was in a storm. Everyone was searching for the pages of the Tomes of Arcane. There were even a few fierce conflicts to fight for the pages.
However, this treasure had its own mysteries. It would avoid people, so it was not easy to search for it. Many times, it depended on luck.
Therefore, no one was sure if all the pages of the Heavenly Tomes that had fallen from the Red Dust had already fallen into the hands of others.
Some people who obtained a page of the Tomes of Arcane would keep it a secret and keep it for themselves to comprehend in private.
The South Chu Empire had also conducted a large-scale search before, but unfortunately, their gains were limited.
However, everyone had been searching for the incomplete page of the Tomes of Arcane in the mortal world, and they had not found anything in the mortal world.
Who would have thought that there would be a page of the Heavenly Book in the Divine Lands?
Moreover, Cheng Huyuan had also found out about the whereabouts of this page of the Heavenly Book.
Cheng Fengyuan knew his younger brother well. The other party kept it a secret and secretly searched for the Heavenly Book remnant page, which was also in line with Cheng Huyuan’s past behavior.
Unfortunately, he lost his life because of this.
Cheng Fengyuan suddenly found it ironic.
Fourth Brother Cheng Huyuan had only himself to blame, but Third Brother Cheng Qiyuan probably didn’t even know how all of this happened until his death. In the end, he lost his life in the Divine Lands.
So, what should I do?
Cheng Fengyuan fell into deep thought.
Should he report it directly to his father?
If he kept this news, he would not be able to enter the mortal world.
Xian Tian Palace’s Heaven and Earth Token had already protected Cheng Qi Yuan, a peak Martial Emperor, from descending into the mortal world. However, it was impossible for him, a Martial Saint, to descend.
Cheng Feng Yuan was not sure if Xian Tian Palace had other techniques, but even if they did, they would not lend them out like the Qian Kun Token.
It was a pity that it was a page of the Heavenly Book after all…
Cheng Fengyuan sighed and shook his head.
As for whether he would follow in his brothers ‘footsteps if he entered the mortal world, Cheng Fengyuan was not worried at all.
This was the most basic self-confidence of a Martial Saint. If he didn’t have this bit of confidence, he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate to his current realm, let alone go home and take care of his child.
Confidence, determination, and perseverance were the most important conditions for a martial artist to improve.
Whether one’s moral character was noble or despicable, whether one’s heart was pure or vicious, it would only affect one’s cultivation of a certain ultimate art.
Both moral saints and sinister villains could cultivate supreme techniques that could overturn the world and overturn the sun and moon.
However, for a person who was afraid of the future and easily retreated, no matter how good his innate talent was, it would be a waste.
Just from the perspective of cultivation, it was better for a martial artist to be arrogant than to feel inferior.
Of course, this was an extreme comparison.
Usually, arrogant people would easily lose their lives.
The boundary between self-confidence and arrogance needed to be carefully grasped by oneself.
Cheng Fengyuan placed the cloth back into the brocade box.
He stared at the brocade box in silence.
If he could find a way for him to descend into the Divine Lands as a Martial Saint, he would naturally want to make a trip.
That was a page of the Heavenly Book.
The sect master of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Sect had already appeared and was fighting fiercely with his father.
The scale of the war between South Chu and the enemy was rarely seen in recent years.
The top experts of the Ancient Gods Clan had all shown themselves. They didn’t have to worry about being ambushed in the Divine Lands.
The only person there was Chen Luoyang.
He had descended to the Divine Prefecture as a Martial Saint. At most, he would retreat if he couldn’t do anything to Chen Luoyang.
The difficult part was how to enter the mortal world in his peak state?
A long night brings many dreams.
If he couldn’t think of a solution in a short period of time, he should report the truth to his father.
At the very least, he could ensure that this page of the Tomes of Arcane would fall into the hands of South Chu.
He could not obtain the Tomes of Arcane, but with such meritorious service, his father would not be stingy with his rewards.
He wondered if this page of the Heavenly Book was still in the hands of Chen Luoyang of the Divine Lands.
Could it have already fallen into the hands of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan?
Was the Sect Master of the Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan’s seclusion related to this page of the Heavenly Book?
Could the other party’s real trap be to use this page of the Heavenly Book as bait?
Was this the real trick of the Ancient Gods Clan?
Cheng Fengyuan thought of many things at once and finally returned to the starting point. He thought about whether there was a way for him to descend into the mortal world as a Martial Saint.
Just as he was thinking, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart.
The first thing he did was rush out of the carriage.
Then, the carriage was attacked.
The attacker’s attacks were relentless. He firmly grasped the hard-won opportunity and attacked Cheng Fengyuan.
Cheng Fengyuan was ambushed and lost the initiative.
However, it was not a problem for him to protect himself.
It was not the first time the two sides had dealt with each other. He knew who the enemy was almost immediately.
“Lin Yan, you’re still the same.”
Cheng Fengyuan was calm and steady.
The person in front of him was a young man in his thirties.
The man was handsome, but he had only one eye. His right eye was covered with a black blindfold, and only his left eye was exposed. His gaze was cold and calm, causing one’s heart to palpitate.
He and the Second Prince of South Chu, Cheng Fengyuan, could be considered old acquaintances.
Red Dust Ancient Gods Clan’s Azure Dragon Hall Chief, Lin Yan.
An assassin whose name shook the entire Red Dust World. He remained silent and attacked Cheng Fengyuan fiercely.
Cheng Fengyuan was calm and steady.
They were on the ground of South Chu. If there was any movement, reinforcements would arrive very quickly.
As long as he could delay for a little longer, it would be time for the Chief of the Azure Dragon Hall to think about how to escape.
Although he was at a disadvantage, compared to the opponent in front of him, Cheng Fengyuan was more vigilant about whether there were other enemies around him.
When he realized that Lin Yan was alone, he felt slightly relieved.
But just as he felt relieved, Cheng Fengyuan suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.
The feeling of danger was even stronger than when he had just been assassinated!
Lin Yan punched out, and a strange aura of power suddenly came from it.
Facing this punch, Cheng Fengyuan’s entire sky was filled with golden light. The blazing Light Brilliance disintegrated and was pierced through by the punch!
… The Auspicious Cloud Ancient Jade?” Cheng Fengyuan was shocked.
The Ancient Gods Clan actually had something that had been extinct for a long time?
The sudden killer move had hit Cheng Fengyuan at his weakest moment. It was even more effective than the first assassination.
Cheng Fengyuan was completely caught off guard and was heavily injured on the spot.
Lin Yan did not let him off, his killer moves became more and more fierce.
The pitiful Second Prince of South Chu was still full of ambition just a moment ago, but at this moment, everything was gone…
Soon, the news spread.
After the Chief of the Vermilion Bird Palace Hall of the Ancient Gods Clan was killed by the Chu Emperor, the Ancient Gods Clan immediately retaliated by killing the Second Prince of South Chu, Cheng Fengyuan.
Moreover, it was not the Hierarch of Ancient Gods Clan who bullied the weak.
Cheng Fengyuan was killed by Lin Yan, the Chief of the Azure Dragon Hall of the Ancient Gods Clan, who was in the same realm as him.
When the news spread, the Ancient Gods Clan’s reputation was greatly boosted.
You killed my higher-ups, and it was the leader of the group who personally did it.
If I kill your higher-ups, I’ll kill them as equals.
In addition to Cheng Qiyuan and Cheng Huyuan who had died in the Divine Lands, the South Chu Empire could not raise their heads.
This war that was initiated by the South Chu Dynasty was reversed. The previously aggressive South Chu Dynasty suffered a blow to their morale and reputation.
After the great battle between Emperor Chu and the Hierarch of the Ancient Gods Clan, no one could do anything to the other.
The two of them stopped and were in a stalemate.
The golden sea of fire covered half of the sky and was even more dazzling than the sun.
In the other half of the sky, there seemed to be a huge, invisible, and transparent supreme-ruler that was fighting against the sea of golden light and fire.
In the sea of golden light, a figure in a dragon robe was faintly discernible. He looked at the transparent Celestial Demon Form in the distance and stood silently.
At this moment, a dragon’s roar sounded in the distance.
A true dragon with a purple-gold body came into the sea of fire and stopped in front of the figure. It lowered its head.
Unlike Chen Luoyang’s Flame Dragon that was nearing adulthood, this was a fully matured golden dragon.
However, the huge dragon body was trembling slightly in the sea of golden light, as if it could not withstand the burning of the vast light.
That person took the jade slip from the dragon’s head and knocked lightly. A voice came from the jade slip.
” Your Majesty, the Second Prince’s personal belongings are all missing, and the brocade box that he obtained from the Fourth Prince’s outer residence is nowhere to be seen. As for the exact contents of the brocade box, we still unknown. ‘
“Cha Linyan.” The figure nodded and put away the jade slip.
The golden dragon felt like it had been pardoned. It quickly flew out of the sea of golden light and felt relieved.
In the Divine Lands, after watching Bie Donglai and Ji Zhong leave, Chen Luoyang’s mind left the treehouse and returned to the real world.
However, as soon as he returned, he felt that the Life Creation Divine Tree was a little unstable.
That was the commotion caused by Bie Donglai’s attempt to find the Divine
Tree of Life Creation after he left.
The other party’s strength was indeed high.
However, that mysterious decree had once again withstood the test, causing Bie Donglai to return empty-handed.
In Chen Luoyang’s consciousness, the branches and leaves of the Towering
Divine Tree swayed slightly.
He thought about it and became more and more certain.
It was indeed necessary for Han Mei to find the green fruit tree. At that time, she could strengthen the supreme tree..
