Chapter 631: The Astonished Emperor
Chapter 631: The Astonished Emperor
After arriving in this Source World for so many years, Ethan Lin had collected a fair number of secret techniques and legacies from the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom.
Among the great emperors of the various ancient kingdoms, many had friendly relations and would trade with each other.
Many secret techniques and legacies were naturally included in these trades.
However, the secret techniques and legacies that the great emperors could trade were still too shallow for Ethan Lin.
Now, these two Heavenly Emperors of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom gave Ethan Lin hope to access the profound secret techniques and legacies of the Mystical Yin.
Of course, Ethan Lin did not expect to obtain the true, untransmittable secret techniques of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom. Even if the Emperor of Northern Darkness and the Emperor of Extreme Frost had cultivated them, they would not have recorded them.
But ordinary secret techniques and legacies at the Heavenly Emperor level were still likely to be kept as backups.
For example, the Skyburning Academy founded by Lord Qingfeng contained many such secret techniques and legacies.
Ethan Lin immediately began to investigate the world treasures left behind by the two Heavenly Emperors, which held the long-accumulated treasures of the Emperor of Northern Darkness and the Emperor of Extreme Frost.
These two Heavenly Emperors never imagined they would be completely left behind in the Black Jade Nest.
Thus, their main combat bodies carried many precious treasures.
Ethan Lin’s gaze swept past numerous treasures and directly focused on the area containing secret techniques and legacies.
"‘Thirteen Cuts of Mystical Yin’ is a pinnacle Heavenly Emperor of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom, based on the supreme legacy of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom, the ‘Mystical Yin Canon,’ which can condense the void yin energy to deliver a devastating strike."
Ethan Lin carefully observed and comprehended.
A pinnacle Heavenly Emperor corresponds to a supreme great holy one in the chaotic void. Compared to the supreme great holy ones, who have an internal universe to rely on, the pinnacle Heavenly Emperors lead in the evolution of chaotic forces.
Each of the six ancient kingdoms’ pinnacle Heavenly Emperors has created their own offensive methods by walking their unique paths in the chaotic theory.
For example, ‘Thirteen Cuts of Mystical Yin’ was created by a pinnacle Heavenly Emperor of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom. Each cut is powerful enough to severely wound ordinary Heavenly Emperors, and the last few cuts can even slay them.
"Remarkable."
Ethan Lin marveled as he comprehended.
If the evolution of chaotic forces is divided into three levels, then the supreme great holy ones of the chaotic void are at the first level.
The supreme great holy ones are at the second level, while the pinnacle Heavenly Emperors of the six ancient kingdoms are at the third level.
At the third level, the evolution of chaotic forces has already condensed into their own Dao fruit, no longer just a simple path.
"Unfortunately, the true profound legacies of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom can hardly be transmitted." Ethan Lin sighed.
This ‘Thirteen Cuts of Mystical Yin’ was widely circulated among the Heavenly Emperors of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom, so Ethan Lin was able to find a copy in the world treasures of the two Heavenly Emperors.
"Still, the gains this time are significant."
Ethan Lin looked at the numerous secret techniques and legacies in the world treasures, including those on par with ‘Thirteen Cuts of Mystical Yin’ and several dozen more at the ordinary Heavenly Emperor level.
The Emperor of Northern Darkness and the Emperor of Extreme Frost naturally had the best of what they had learned, having cultivated to the Heavenly Emperor realm. It was almost impossible to achieve this without the profound comprehension of countless secret techniques and legacies, ultimately finding their own paths.
"Comprehending these secret techniques and legacies, I can clearly feel that my Yin Dao has become much more ‘sufficient.’"
Ethan Lin thought to himself. This sufficiency was not in terms of power but rather in essence. Ethan Lin had always been more inclined towards the Yang Dao, and even with the mutual transformation between Yin and Yang, the Yin Dao had always lagged behind.
"I wonder what great Dao the ‘Mystical Yin Canon’ of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom records?" Ethan Lin was quite eager.
The ‘Mystical Yin Canon’ is the supreme legacy of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom, originating from the Mystical Yin Ancestor, comparable to the supreme legacy of the Blazing Yang Ancient Kingdom.
In the capital of the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom, the Emperor of Northern Darkness and the Emperor of Extreme Frost opened their true bodies and looked at each other.
As Heavenly Emperors, they would be granted titles and a ducal palace in the capital as long as they were willing to serve the ancient kingdom.
"That Galaxy actually became a Heavenly Emperor?" The Emperor of Extreme Frost was still finding it hard to believe. Over the long ages of the six ancient kingdoms, the core royal families had never broken the constraints, yet these constraints were shattered by the Galaxy.
"Northern Darkness."
The Emperor of Extreme Frost immediately summoned an avatar to the Northern Darkness ducal palace to discuss the next steps with the Emperor of Northern Darkness.
Inside the Northern Darkness ducal palace.
In a pavilion, the Emperor of Northern Darkness sat, while the Emperor of Extreme Frost sat opposite him.
"Northern Darkness, what do you think we should do now?"
The Emperor of Extreme Frost immediately asked.
The two Heavenly Emperors had acted in secret, but it resulted in no gains, with their main combat bodies left behind.
"What can we do?"
The Emperor of Northern Darkness sighed inwardly. If he had known the Galaxy Heavenly Emperor was so monstrous, he would never have thought of the Black Jade Nest.
He originally thought that the Galaxy Great Emperor entering the Black Jade Nest would weaken this first-rate treasure site, but instead, not only did it not weaken, it was even stronger than when the Blazing Yang Heavenly Emperor was present.
The Blazing Yang Heavenly Emperor’s strength was already close to that of a pinnacle Heavenly Emperor, but his methods were more direct and offensive, at most capable of severely wounding the two Heavenly Emperors.
As for holding them back? That was impossible.
But Ethan Lin’s external universe suppression had completely restricted the two Heavenly Emperors.
In such a place as the Black Jade Nest, the ability to restrict was far more crucial than direct offensive power.
"There’s no other way; we can only truthfully report to the emperor." The Emperor of Northern Darkness thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Truthfully report to the emperor?" The Emperor of Extreme Frost fell silent.
This meant they would definitely be punished by the emperor for their unauthorized actions, which had broken the unspoken rules between the two great ancient nations. Even if the Mystical Yin Ancient Kingdom might just pretend, they wouldn’t let them off easily.
“No need to explain, are we just going to face the wrath of the Leryang Ancient Kingdom for using our personal weapons?”
Beiyin Celestial glanced at Jihan Celestial.
Although both of their main combat bodies had been destroyed, their personal weapons remained intact.
In the six ancient kingdoms, the personal weapons of Celestial-level experts were highly distinctive. Just by recognizing their personal weapons, it was enough to identify that these two Celestials had infiltrated the Black Jade Nest.
Not to mention, if Beiyin Celestial and Jihan Celestial were to reveal their strength within the Black Jade Nest, a Celestial skilled in the Laws of Time could simply rewind the event and expose them.
“Can we make a deal with the Galaxy Celestial to keep this matter from spreading?” Jihan Celestial pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Deal.” Beiyin Celestial thought for a moment. “Let’s give it a try.”
So far, only the three Celestials knew about this matter. As long as the Galaxy Celestial didn’t speak, no one else would know.
Black Jade Nest.
Lin Yuan was contemplating the spoils of his recent victory.
Suddenly, he looked up into the distance.
Buzz.
At the border between two ancient kingdoms, one of Lin Yuan’s avatars arrived.
In the distance, the avatars of Beiyin Celestial and Jihan Celestial stood as well.
“What do you want?” Lin Yuan glanced at the two Celestials of Xuan Yin Ancient Kingdom and casually asked.
“Galaxy Celestial.” Beiyin Celestial looked at Lin Yuan. “Can today’s matter be kept secret?”
“Secret?” Lin Yuan understood why Beiyin Celestial wanted him to keep it secret. “What can you offer me?”
“As long as the Galaxy Celestial keeps today’s matter secret, Jihan and I will owe you a favor.” Beiyin Celestial said.
“Yes, we owe you a favor.” Jihan Celestial echoed from the side.
“Just a favor?” Lin Yuan looked at the two Celestials.
Blocking the two Celestials from infiltrating the Black Jade Nest and leaving their main combat bodies behind in Leryang Ancient Kingdom would earn him considerable merit. With this merit, Lin Yuan could exchange for more secret techniques and legacies in the Leryang Treasure Vault.
“What do you want from the Galaxy Celestial?” Beiyin Celestial asked.
“The Xuan Yin Secret Canon.” Lin Yuan said directly.
“Impossible.” Beiyin Celestial immediately shook his head. “I’ve already made a vow and cannot allow this legacy to spread.”
“Since that’s the case, you have nothing to offer me that would make me take the risk.” Lin Yuan’s figure vanished.
Dealing with an enemy Celestial always carried risks, and afterward, they could easily use this to threaten him.
If it were the Xuan Yin Secret Canon, an ultimate legacy, Lin Yuan wouldn’t mind taking the risk.
But clearly, Beiyin Celestial and Jihan Celestial couldn’t offer him anything that would move him.
So Lin Yuan didn’t bother negotiating further.
Leryang Ancient Kingdom.
Lin Yuan walked out of the palace.
“Eliminating the main combat bodies of two enemy Celestials, according to the merit exchange standards set by the ancient kingdom, each main combat body is worth 500,000 merits.”
“Two Celestials’ main combat bodies, that’s one million merits.”
Lin Yuan mentally calculated.
After all, in the previous battlefield of Qingfen Domain and Zimeng Domain, Lin Yuan had single-handedly turned the tide, earning only a little over 100,000 merits.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Yuan naturally wouldn’t pass up the opportunity for such merit. He directly headed to the palace to meet the emperor of the ancient kingdom.
Inside the grand hall.
The Leryang Ancient Kingdom’s emperor looked at Lin Yuan with a smile. “Galaxy, what brings you here?”
“The Black Jade Nest I was guarding was infiltrated by two Celestials from the Xuan Yin Ancient Kingdom.” Lin Yuan reported honestly.
“Two Celestials infiltrated?” The emperor’s expression changed slightly.
The Black Jade within the Black Jade Nest had a significant refining effect on the mental will of Celestial-level experts. It wasn’t surprising that they were attracted.
Previously, when Chiyang Celestials guarded the Black Jade Nest, he was a seasoned Celestial with extensive experience, and the enemy Celestials had no real chance of infiltrating, so there wasn’t much action.
“Which two Celestials?”
The emperor asked.
“Beiyin and Jihan.” Lin Yuan replied.
The Celestials of the Xuan Yin Ancient Kingdom were few and easily recognizable.
“Those two, huh.” The emperor nodded slightly. “No harm done. This time, I will publicly punish you as a lesson, but you will continue to guard the Black Jade Nest.”
The emperor looked at Lin Yuan and continued. “The Black Jade Nest nurtures rare Black Jade. Losing it once isn’t a huge matter. I also want to use this opportunity to temper you.”
As for the loss of the Black Jade? Over time, it wouldn’t be a significant loss, as the Black Jade Nest would still continue to nurture rare Black Jade.
“Punishment?”
Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback, immediately realizing the emperor might have misunderstood, thinking he had failed to protect the Black Jade Nest.
“The Black Jade wasn’t taken by those two Celestials.”
Lin Yuan immediately clarified.
“Not taken?”
The emperor looked at Lin Yuan, frowning.
“Beiyin and Jihan were left behind, their main combat bodies. Combined, that should be one million merits?”
Lin Yuan looked at the emperor. Matters involving Celestial-level merit distribution required the emperor’s approval.
The Leryang Ancient Kingdom’s emperor was still puzzled why the two infiltrating Celestials didn’t take the Black Jade. But hearing Lin Yuan’s explanation, he looked at Lin Yuan in surprise.
“What did you say?”
