Chapter 159: News from the Moon Emperor's Dynasty, the Mysterious High Priest

In the current Qi Yuan, although he has not yet fully re-established himself as the Heavenly Dao of the Moon Viewing Continent, his words carry a certain authority over the seven nations' representatives, influencing their decisions.

With a single utterance, the representatives of the seven nations unanimously nullified their previous agreement.

The numerous Celestial Prodigies present were shocked by this turn of events, their faces turning pale.

The first to challenge Qi Yuan was none other than Ling Jiao.

"You dare to use illusions to manipulate the natives of the Moon Viewing Continent, forcing them to abolish the agreement. How audacious of you!"

"You're being too unreasonable. With the Great Tribulation approaching, we should be working together. How can you act so selfishly?"

"What do you mean by acting selfishly? Isn't the Moon Viewing Continent yours?" Great Sage True Monarch couldn't help but speak up.

The numerous Celestial Prodigies present turned their gazes towards Qi Yuan, their faces filled with displeasure.

After all, occupying a place on the Moon Viewing Continent was part of the plan devised by the sects backing these Celestial Prodigies.

This could help reduce the impact of the Great Tribulation.

However, Qi Yuan's actions clearly harmed their interests.

One person challenging nearly twenty powerful forces—his audacity knew no bounds!

"The Moon Viewing Continent is my home. I can rent it to whomever I choose. I asked you all if you wanted to rent it, but none of you did. It's normal for the agreement to be nullified since we didn't sign a contract. There's no legal effect, and even if you take me to court, I'll win."

Qi Yuan's words left the Celestial Prodigies present looking confused. They understood each word individually but couldn't grasp the overall meaning, only getting a general idea.

He wanted to forcefully occupy the Moon Viewing Continent!

"I wonder where you get your confidence from, daring to oppose all of us!" Ling Jiao said coldly.

The others also turned to Qi Yuan, their faces hardening.

"It's justice! It's reason!" Qi Yuan spoke with righteousness. "In the Beautiful Country, you trespassed into my home. I could have killed you all!"

Qi Yuan used the rumors about the Beautiful Country to intimidate those present.

"Hmph, I want to see what you can do!" A powerful aura enveloped Ling Jiao as she seemed ready to take action against Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan saw this and felt disappointed.

As expected, the rumors about the Beautiful Country didn't scare these people.

These people actually dared to take action against him.

"All of you, come at me! Today, I'll show you that my fist is the law!" Qi Yuan, wearing twenty long robes, looked exceptionally bloated. On his chest and back, he wore a turtle shell, making him appear even more comical.

Yet, he directly challenged over a dozen Celestial Prodigies!

The Celestial Prodigies present, regardless of who they were, had their faces turn pale, and their hearts trembled.

"How bold!"

"Even if you're a Divine Infancy Cultivator, today you will surely suffer a crushing defeat!"

The Celestial Prodigies present had their faces filled with rage.

Most of them were Golden Core Cultivators, some even Divine Infancy Cultivators, and aside from Purple Mansion Cultivators, they were the most elite in the Eastern Land.

But the turtle-shelled man before us, he's clearly not a Purple Mansion Cultivator.

When a cultivator who has comprehended the Primordial Divine Ability enters another world, they will undoubtedly face the world's rejection.

Since Qi Yuan doesn't have that ability, his strength is at most that of a Divine Infancy Cultivator.

A Divine Infancy Cultivator challenging all the top twenty on the Eastern Land Genius Ranking is akin to seeking death.

"I'm not a Divine Infancy Cultivator. I'm a Golden Core Cultivator!" Qi Yuan said earnestly.

Obviously, no one present believed his words, or perhaps they simply ignored them.

"Whether you're a Divine Infancy Cultivator or have ten thousand Golden Cores, you will surely lose today!"

The over a dozen Celestial Prodigies present were about to take action against Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan remained unmoved by their intentions and instead turned to Gu Xiaoyao, speaking earnestly, "You're a Divine Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the most worthy opponent I respect.

Fighting you might cause the continent to collapse, leaving the sun and moon without light, and it would take a year or two to determine the victor.

After I defeat them, I'll have a proper battle with you!"

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, Gu Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of unexplained superiority arose within him, "Good."

The strange man before them looked down on the Celestial Prodigies, choosing to fight them last, as if he didn't consider them on the same level.

"Hmph, challenging us all alone, it seems you truly seek death!" Ling Jiao spoke coldly, "Those turtle shells and dozens of long robes won't save you!"

The other Celestial Prodigies also stared at Qi Yuan, their hearts filled with the desire to fight.

Qi Yuan's previous words were an insult to them.

"I won't participate in this battle..." Xu Tongchen quietly withdrew at this moment.

He knew that the man before them was the Blood Robe Sword God! Moreover, he was puzzled because wasn't it true that when a Purple Mansion Cultivator entered a world, they would face the world's rejection?

"I'm not skilled in fighting, so I won't participate in this battle," Jiang Ya thought for a moment before ultimately withdrawing.

Great Sage True Monarch turned to Qi Yuan, clenching his fist, "I support you."

The remaining fifteen Celestial Prodigies glared at Qi Yuan, their eyes filled with ill intent.

None of them made the first move, as besieging one person and winning wouldn't bring them glory.

They all waited for Ling Jiao to take action, to teach this turtle-shelled man a lesson.

However, before Ling Jiao could move, Qi Yuan took the initiative.

"In my home, I have buffs! How can you fight me?"

Qi Yuan yelled, and a terrifying aura swept through the area.

The Celestial Prodigies present felt their breathing quicken in that instant.

An overwhelming pressure descended, and the Celestial Prodigies' faces turned grim, filled with fear.

Before they could make any move, each of them felt as if several mountains were pressing down on their backs.

The over a dozen Celestial Prodigies were instantly immobilized, pinned down by the heavy mountains.

Ling Jiao's situation was even more tragic, as she was directly crushed by the mountains, her face intimately pressed against the ground, and a deep pit was formed beneath her!

With a single move, Qi Yuan faced fifteen unparalleled Celestial Prodigies and instantly defeated them!

Or perhaps, the two sides were simply not on the same level!

Qi Yuan merely unleashed his aura, and these fifteen extraordinary Celestial Prodigies were utterly defeated.

The Celestial Prodigies present had extremely ugly expressions, filled with fear.

"Purple Mansion Cultivator?"

"How could you be a Purple Mansion Cultivator?"

"No, even a Purple Mansion Cultivator isn't this strong. You are... the Blood Robe Sword God!"

The Celestial Prodigies were perplexed, their hearts shaken.

Is this person really the legendary Blood Robe Sword God? If it's him, everything can be easily explained.

Qi Yuan used his aura to defeat fifteen Celestial Prodigies, and his gaze fell upon Gu Xiao Yao, a Celestial Foundation Cultivator, "Your move just now was nothing to a Celestial Foundation Cultivator like you."

"Now... let's have a proper fight. Don't underestimate me just because I'm young."

"I also want to see how close my limit can get to your three-fold strength!"

Qi Yuan stared at Gu Xiao Yao, and at this moment, a pressure ten times stronger than before swept through the air.

The legendary perfect Celestial Foundation Cultivator, his true opponent, he was finally going to fight him!

Only such an opponent was worthy.

At this moment, Gu Xiao Yao felt immense pressure, and his heart was filled with fear.

Could this senior be joking?

You, a Wind Lan Sage, destroyed the Bright Palace, a sect with a Dark Deity's foundation, and now you want to fight me, a small Divine Infancy Cultivator, in a fair battle? This is bullying, right? He was so frustrated he couldn't speak.

But Qi Yuan was furious, "Why aren't you speaking? Do you look down on me? Do you think I'm not worthy of fighting you?"

A perfect Celestial Foundation Cultivator, how impressive!

He actually looks down on a Celestial Foundation Cultivator like him?

Qi Yuan felt wronged.

Gu Xiao Yao felt even more wronged than Qi Yuan.

At this moment, Great Sage True Monarch spoke, "Based on my years of experience, Gu Xiao Yao is unable to speak because your pressure is too strong. He can't even open his mouth."

"Huh?" Qi Yuan was stunned.

Gu Xiao Yao was silently grateful to Great Sage True Monarch's ancestors.

"Isn't he a perfect Celestial Foundation Cultivator? How could he be suppressed by my pressure? I understand now. He's showing weakness to lure me into a trap, planning to ambush me when I least expect it. What a deep scheme, befitting a Celestial Foundation Cultivator!" Qi Yuan realized.

At this moment, Gu Xiao Yao was extremely frustrated.

Then, Great Sage True Monarch spoke thoughtfully, "Perhaps he's not a perfect Celestial Foundation Cultivator, but an imperfect one."

Qi Yuan was taken aback by his words.

As Qi Yuan's pressure dissipated, Gu Xiao Yao finally caught his breath. He revealed a face of relief, "Senior, I am an imperfect Celestial Foundation Cultivator!"

At this moment, life was the most important.

Qi Yuan also felt extremely embarrassed.

The information was wrong, all because of Xu Tongchen, who gave him incorrect details! Embarrassed, he wanted to leave this place quickly.

He looked at Luo Xi and the other seven representatives, "Let's go and deal with the Mara Clan."

The other seven representatives were also thrilled.

The strength of the person before them far exceeded their expectations.

They felt that they were no match for this powerful individual.

Is this the legendary Fifth Stage Cultivator?

"Impressive!" Luo Xi thought to herself.

At this moment, Jiang Ya spoke up, "Senior, I've been collecting various cultivation techniques. May I accompany you to gather more techniques from this realm?"

"I have a request too. You must give me some techniques from your Ascend Sky Tower," Qi Yuan said, looking at Jiang Ya.

Jiang Ya smiled, "For every technique I obtain in this realm, I'll give you five. How about that?"

"Deal!" Qi Yuan was excited.

He had finally secured a connection with the wealthy Jiang Ya.

"Fellow Cultivator, I'm also quite interested in the cultivation techniques of this realm. May we travel together?" Great Sage True Monarch asked.

"Sure, it's perfect timing. Let's go together," Qi Yuan replied.

"I'll come too!" Xu Tongchen quickly added.

He had not shown his strength earlier, and staying here would only make him a target.

"Okay."

Qi Yuan glanced at the more than ten Celestial Prodigies in the room, and under Luo Xi's lead, the group slowly disappeared.

After about a dozen breaths, the oppressive atmosphere in the room dissipated.

A man's face turned gloomy, "Blood Robe Sword God, a senior, actually attacked us, his juniors. How shameless!"

They all believed that the man before them was indeed the Blood Robe Sword God.

Xu Tongchen's master, Xu Yeli, was a member of the Blood Cloak Alliance.

Xu Tongchen's attitude towards the Turtle Shell Man revealed everything.

Moreover, some Celestial Prodigies had heard rumors that the person who used connections was the Blood Robe Sword God.

They had thought it was a junior member of the Blood Cloak Alliance entering, but it turned out to be the Blood Robe Sword God himself!

"Strange, the origins of different worlds vary. If one comprehends the origin of their world and enters another world, they will face resistance. Why didn't the Blood Robe Sword God experience this?" One of the Celestial Prodigies expressed confusion.

This was the reason they had only treated the Turtle Shell Man as one of their peers.

As fellow Fifth Stage Cultivators, they had never feared.

But the Blood Robe Sword God bullied the younger generation.

Not only did he defeat them, but he also wanted to fight Gu Xiao Yao in a fair battle.

This old man had no martial morals and was bullying the youth!

At this moment, Ling Jiao spoke with a cold voice, "The Blood Robe Sword God is bullying the younger generation and wants to monopolize the Moonlit Continent. He's making an enemy of us and the entire Eastern Land!"

"The Blood Robe Sword God is strong, and his destruction of the Bright Palace is impressive. But by making an enemy of the Eastern Land, he's seeking death. I'll report this matter to my master!"

"Hmph, does he think he can hide in the Moonlit Continent and we won't be able to do anything to him?"

Their forces did not want to clash with the Blood Robe Sword God.

But the Moonlit Continent was crucial to their escape route, so they had to fight for it.

"Hmph, this matter isn't over! One person against the entire Eastern Land, this Blood Robe Sword God thinks he's the sun, and we revolve around him!" Ling Jiao said angrily, but as she spoke, a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Her face turned pale in an instant, and her aura plummeted, leaving her weak and frail.

"Ling Jiao?" The Celestial Prodigies in the room were shocked by this scene.

Could it be that the Blood Robe Sword God hadn't left yet?

He was punishing Ling Jiao.

The faces of the Celestial Prodigies turned grave, and they dared not speak further, nor did they dare mention the Blood Robe Sword God again.

Chapter: The Ancient Mystery of the Yellow Emperor's Forbidden\"

High above, several streaks of radiant light streaked across the sky.

Qi Yuan looked at Lu Xi beside him and asked, "Have you been to the Yellow Emperor's Forbidden?"

Lu Xi's heart skipped a beat at his words. "Senior... how do you know about it?"

Jiang Ya, standing nearby, glanced at Qi Yuan, her expression peculiar.

"In the Yellow Emperor's Forbidden, one can enhance their strength by doing push-ups and sit-ups, but the cost is... hair loss," Qi Yuan sighed.

These rules were initially set by him to help Jin Li become stronger.

Lu Xi's heart trembled, as if a storm was raging within him.

How did this outsider know such secrets?

Qi Yuan turned to Lu Xi, "Can you tell me about the Yellow Emperor's Forbidden?"

Lu Xi fell silent.

He was unaware of Qi Yuan's identity.

The Yellow Emperor's Forbidden held immense secrets.

He didn't know how to respond.

Qi Yuan looked up at the ancient Cypress Tree in the sky, his thoughts drifting back to a distant past.

He recalled sitting on a blue stone by the July Lake, with the Moon Maiden accompanying him, fishing alone in the cold river.

"You can tell me, there's nothing to fear," Qi Yuan said, his voice once again filled with allure.

Lu Xi, who had been hesitant, finally spoke, "When I was young, I followed my parents to the Moon Emperor Dynasty. By chance, I joined the dynasty and became a member of the Sworn Moon Order."

"The Moon Emperor Dynasty still exists..." Qi Yuan thought of the people near July Town and remembered the Moon Maiden who had left a crescent mark on his arm.

He looked at his arm, smooth and flawless, the crescent mark long gone.

"As a member of the Sworn Moon Order, one can enter the Yellow Emperor's Forbidden to enhance their strength and pledge loyalty to the Moon God," Lu Xi spoke with reverence when mentioning the Moon God.

Qi Yuan listened, his mind filled with complex thoughts.

The Moon God, the Moon Viewing Continent, the Moon Maiden, the Moon Token, and his master—were they all connected?

He felt overwhelmed.

He didn't know if coming here would lead him to the person he wanted to see.

At that moment, Jiang Ya spoke up, interrupting Qi Yuan's thoughts, "Senior, how do you plan to deal with the Demon Clan?"

"Naturally, I'll kill them," Qi Yuan replied decisively.

Jiang Ya continued, "The Demon Clan in Phoenix Orchid and the other six nations isn't very strong. With your strength, you could sweep through them in a matter of days."

"But... if you reveal your strength, it will attract the attention of powerful members of the Demon Clan. Within a few days to a few months, their Shadow Deities will find you."

"Alone, you've offended so many major powers in the Eastern Land. Facing the Demon Clan, it might be..." Jiang Ya's eyes reflected her concern.

The Demon Clan was powerful; otherwise, the Eastern Land's Shadow Deities wouldn't be at a disadvantage in their conflicts.

"Should I abandon my home just because the enemy is strong?" Qi Yuan asked.

The Moon Viewing Continent was his home, and with unwelcome guests, he had to ensure that "people could leave, but their lives would remain here."

Jiang Ya was speechless.

Communicating with the Blood Cloak Sword God was as challenging as speaking with Jiang Ling Su's senior brother.

The Great Sage True Monarch, standing nearby, spoke up, "Heads can be severed, blood can flow, but our home must never be given up!"

Xu Tongchen remained silent, not joining their conversation.

Qi Yuan turned to Lu Xi, "Who informed the Moon Emperor Dynasty about the Yellow Emperor's Forbidden?"

Initially, he had only told Jin Li, not sharing this information with anyone else, not even the Moon Maiden.

How did the Moon Emperor Dynasty learn about the Yellow Emperor's Forbidden?

"I'm afraid I don't know, Senior," Lu Xi replied, not fully understanding Qi Yuan's question.

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly.

It seemed he would have to visit the Moon Emperor Dynasty himself to uncover the truth.

Could it be that Jin Li had waited for him under the ancient Cypress Tree and eventually joined the Moon Emperor Dynasty? Qi Yuan's mind was filled with confusion.

He asked again, "Is the Moon Emperor Dynasty still near the ancient Cypress Tree? Are there still people in July Town and by the July Lake?"

"Yes," Lu Xi nodded, "The Moon Emperor Dynasty is not well-known, but its strength, many powerful cultivators have emerged.

July Town is a sacred place for the Moon Emperor Dynasty, and the Great Priest has always resided in a wooden house by the July Lake."

Upon mentioning the Great Priest, Lu Xi's eyes shone with reverence.

For some reason, when Qi Yuan heard the words 'Great Priest,' his left eyebrow twitched. "What is the Great Priest's name, and what does she look like?"

"The Great Priest... has the appearance of a child, unchanged for a hundred years. Her face is always covered, making it impossible to see her features.

She is the Moon Emperor Dynasty's strongest cultivator and the Moon Viewing Continent's most powerful cultivator.

Her sword skills are unparalleled, and no one can match her!" Lu Xi's eyes shone with fervor.

Clearly, the Great Priest held an extremely high position among the Sworn Moon Order.

"The Great Priest is also the closest servant to the Moon God," Lu Xi added.

Qi Yuan's mind raced with thoughts.

Sword skills?

A child?

Could it be the Moon Maiden? But after all this time, she would have grown up or perished in the flow of time.

Could it be a coincidence?

He would have to go to the Moon Emperor Dynasty to uncover the truth.

For some reason, upon arriving at the Moon Viewing Continent, Qi Yuan felt a sense of trepidation.

He feared that everything would turn out to be an illusion.

But this thought only lasted an instant.

"Hmph, I will become a Primordial Saint, an Immortal, and even if everything turns to dust, I will transform the void into reality!" Qi Yuan thought determinedly.

He decided to first eliminate the enemies near Phoenix Orchid and the other six nations and then head to the Moon Emperor Dynasty to uncover the truth.

"Twenty-one days, soon," Qi Yuan muttered.
