Chapter 640: Vuxu Tianzun
Chapter 640: Vuxu Tianzun
As the leader of the twelve Tianzuns dispatched by the Liyang Ancient Kingdom, Chiyuan Tianzun naturally prioritized the competition for the treasure land.
He wouldn’t specifically favor Lin Yuan by giving up the opportunity to refine the core of the treasure land.
However, in decisions that didn’t significantly affect the outcome, he still intended to lean a bit towards Lin Yuan.
"That’s the newly formed first-class treasure land, right?"
Lin Yuan looked into the distance at the winding mountains. There, the flow of time was chaotic, and a vast expanse of the world faintly revealed itself.
"Each first-class treasure land is located in a relatively opposing space-time. Only the first batch of rare treasures will be connected to the outside world, which is what we call the emergence of the treasure land."
"The core of the first-class treasure land is roughly between one hundred and two hundred. These cores are integrated with the treasure land itself. It’s very difficult to find them in a short time."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, "So among the twelve Tianzuns dispatched by the major ancient kingdoms, at least a few must be skilled in searching for the core."
Among the twelve peak Tianzuns of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom, Hengyang Tianzun was particularly skilled in search techniques.
"We’ll wait a bit. Once the Tianzuns from other ancient kingdoms arrive, we can enter."
Chiyuan Tianzun glanced at a few positions in the distance, where the space-time was slightly distorted, indicating the presence of Tianzuns from other ancient kingdoms.
"After entering the treasure land, try to disperse as much as possible to search for the core. Once found, immediately inform me and Guanglie."
Chiyuan Tianzun reminded them. Discovering the core isn’t the end; the most important part is refining and securing it, which requires strength.
Guanglie Tianzun’s ability to evolve the chaotic path is unique, with thirty-three avatars, each nearly as powerful as his true form, making him the most suitable to guard the core of the treasure land.
After Chiyuan Tianzun finished speaking, he sat cross-legged, and the other Tianzuns followed suit.
Lin Yuan divided a thread of his consciousness to focus on the distant new treasure land, using the remaining mental energy for cultivation and enlightenment.
The twelve peak Tianzuns of the Daling Ancient Kingdom also waited patiently, with their leader, Lingyu Tianzun, a terrifyingly powerful Tianzun of the Daling Ancient Kingdom, an incredibly ancient Tianzun.
At that moment, Lingyu Tianzun’s eyes resembled two boundless, deep prisons, gazing into the distance at the winding mountains.
Lingyu Tianzun’s ability to evolve the chaotic path was reflected in his eyes.
Lingyu Tianzun’s eyes were two prisons named Lingyu, and once caught in them, even a peak Tianzun would be temporarily restrained.
"Lingyu, how do you feel? Do you have the confidence?"
Beside Lingyu Tianzun, Lingxian Tianzun asked.
"Talking about confidence now is still too early." Lingyu Tianzun shook his head, "The Tianzuns from the Dafu Ancient Kingdom haven’t arrived yet."
The Dafu Ancient Kingdom was one of the six major ancient kingdoms, distinct from the other five. The Dafu Ancient Kingdom was the first ancient kingdom to emerge in this source world, and its ancestor was the first life of time.
The Dafu Ancient Kingdom’s strength was unfathomable, with five of the thirteen-step ancestors from the five major ancient kingdoms originating from the Dafu Ancient Kingdom.
The six major ancient kingdoms, while ostensibly competing with each other, the Dafu Ancient Kingdom was the most transcendent.
Besides the Dafu ancestor, it was due to the terrifying strength of the Tianzuns of this ancient kingdom.
Whether in numbers or power, they surpassed the other ancient kingdoms.
"The Dafu Ancient Kingdom." Lingxian Tianzun also felt the pressure.
He understood what Lingyu Tianzun meant.
If the Dafu Ancient Kingdom sent its strongest Tianzuns, Lingyu Tianzun naturally wouldn’t have much confidence.
"Besides the Dafu Ancient Kingdom, the other four major ancient kingdoms shouldn’t be a problem for you, Lingyu." Lingxian Tianzun continued.
"The other four major ancient kingdoms."
Lingyu Tianzun scanned the positions of the Tianzuns from the Xianyin Ancient Kingdom, Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom, Thunder Ancient Kingdom, and the Wild Ancient Kingdom without speaking.
If judged by past battle records, Lingyu Tianzun naturally had the confidence.
But in the competition for the first-class treasure land, the major ancient kingdoms would likely use some of their most powerful killing techniques, setting no upper limit.
On the Xianyin Ancient Kingdom side.
The twelve peak Tianzuns silently observed the Tianzuns from other ancient kingdoms.
"The Daling Ancient Kingdom actually sent Lingyu Tianzun? That’s quite troublesome." Xuyin Tianzun looked heavily at the Daling Ancient Kingdom's position.
Among the peak Tianzuns of the major ancient kingdoms, Lingyu Tianzun was undoubtedly the most difficult to deal with.
It wasn’t that Lingyu Tianzun’s killing power was particularly strong, but his eyes could trap peak Tianzuns.
Under normal circumstances, even if a peak Tianzun were trapped, they could still break free, just with a delay in time.
Within the realm of treasures, it typically takes some time to refine the core of a treasure land.
Imagine a supreme celestial emperor who, after great effort, finally discovers the core of a treasure land and prepares to refine it. However, before he can act, the core is already refined by the Spirit Prison Celestial Emperor, who had it within his Spirit Prison. By the time he breaks free, the core is long gone. Many supreme celestial emperors from the Great Spirit Ancient Kingdom also arrive, leaving him in an incredibly frustrating situation.
"The two Spirit Prisons of the Spirit Prison Celestial Emperor are indeed troublesome, but not insurmountable. Even if he takes in a few dozen supreme celestial emperors from the six ancient kingdoms, how many can he truly contain? What if they all break free?"
The Earth Yin Celestial Emperor said.
This time, among the twelve supreme celestial emperors of the Dark Yin Ancient Kingdom, four are considered the pinnacle of the elite, including the Host Yin Celestial Emperor, the Earth Yin Celestial Emperor, and two others.
"We need to be more cautious," the Host Yin Celestial Emperor added. "The Spirit Prison Celestial Emperor is one of the toughest to deal with among the elite supreme celestial emperors."
In the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, one of the six ancient kingdoms, the mighty warriors are essentially born from thunder. The Thunder Ancestor is said to be the first being in this primordial world to gain sentience through thunder. Later, he was taken as a disciple by the Great Founding Ancestor and eventually ascended to the thirteenth rank, founding the Thunder Ancient Kingdom.
"In this competition for the treasure land, if possible, we will naturally seize this treasure land. If we cannot, we will secretly assist the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom in securing the treasure land."
The leading supreme celestial emperor of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom said.
The Great Founding Ancient Kingdom and the Thunder Ancient Kingdom share a close relationship. Although the Thunder Ancestor separated from the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom to establish the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, the ties with the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom have not severed.
"No problem," the other supreme celestial emperors of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom nodded.
The competition for the treasure land is limited to two thousand years. Two thousand years later, whoever refines the most cores of the treasure land will gain control over it.
If the Thunder Ancient Kingdom ultimately refines too few cores and cannot even secure a place in the top three, they will secretly transfer the core to the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom's celestial emperors. This can be seen as a way to recover losses, ensuring that the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom does not gain the core for nothing.
In fact, it’s not just the Thunder Ancient Kingdom that does this. Other ancient kingdoms, once they realize they cannot secure the top spot, will also sell the core of the treasure land at various 'prices.'
However, due to the close relationship between the Thunder Ancient Kingdom and the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom, they will prioritize selling to the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom.
"I wonder which celestial emperors the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom will send this time?" The leading celestial emperor of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom scanned the surroundings. The celestial emperors of the five great ancient kingdoms are all present, except for those from the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom.
In the Wasteland Ancient Kingdom, twelve towering figures stood, causing the space-time to faintly collapse.
"Among the six ancient kingdoms, the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom has the most first-tier treasure lands," the leading supreme celestial emperor of the Wasteland Ancient Kingdom observed the surroundings. "And my Wasteland Ancient Kingdom has the fewest, with only a dozen first-tier treasure lands."
First-tier treasure lands produce rare treasures that are highly valuable to celestial emperors. While the short-term impact of occupying more first-tier treasure lands may not be significant, the long-term impact is substantial.
Why is the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom's overall strength the strongest? It has the most celestial emperors, right? Is it because of the Great Founding Ancestor? The ancestors of the six ancient kingdoms rarely interfere unless something major happens.
Many secret techniques and reincarnation opportunities are left behind by the ancestors of the ancient kingdoms, with little significant difference among them.
The Great Founding Ancient Kingdom has the longest history, naturally producing more celestial emperors. This is one reason, but not the main one.
The Great Founding Ancient Kingdom's strength comes from occupying the most treasure lands, especially the first-tier ones. In this primordial world, the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom controls nearly one-third of the first-tier treasure lands.
With so many first-tier treasure lands that are highly valuable to celestial emperors, it’s difficult for the Great Founding Ancient Kingdom to not be powerful.
"Therefore—"
The leading supreme celestial emperor of the Wasteland Ancient Kingdom continued, "this newly born first-tier treasure land, my Wasteland Ancient Kingdom must secure it."
So far, the only way to gain a new treasure land is to initiate a full-scale war with other ancient kingdoms, capturing the regions of their first-tier treasure lands. This way, one can naturally gain control over the corresponding first-tier treasure lands.
However, this is extremely difficult.
A full-scale war between ancient kingdoms can be either minor or major.
A minor one involves just a few celestial emperors, and a brief clash is enough, affecting at most a few dozen to a hundred large domains.
A major full-scale war, on the other hand, is truly terrifying. Celestial emperors, supreme celestial emperors, and even the pinnacle of the elite supreme celestial emperors will join in, capable of causing the heavens to collapse and the earth to split.
Compared to the all-out war, this contest for the newly born First-Class Treasure Land was much more peaceful. At least, the time was limited to two thousandAnd only twelve Supreme emperors from each ancient nation were involved. Most crucially, the contest for the First-Class Treasure Land wasn’t just about power; it also tested one’s luck. If you were lucky, you could find a pile of Treasure Land ‘cores’ with just a bit of searching.
Besides luck, it also required financial resources. For instance, during the final moments of the Treasure Land contest, if the other ancient nations realized they had no hope of obtaining the first place, they would ‘sell’ the Treasure Land cores. At that moment, as long as you could afford the price, you could buy them.
As long as the Desolate Ancient Nation could afford the price, they still had a good chance of seizing this First-Class Treasure Land.
Of course, even if they could buy the Treasure Land ‘cores’ with money, they would still try to obtain as many as possible, to minimize the cost.
The Desolate Ancient Nation was eager for this newly born First-Class Treasure Land, but they weren’t foolish.
Buzz!
Just as the supreme emperors of the five ancient nations were patiently waiting to enter the Treasure Land, a sudden ripple of space-time energy quickly spread, drawing the attention of all the supreme emperors to its origin.
"Is that?" Lin Yuan opened his eyes. The supreme emperors of the current five ancient nations were all present, except for the most mysterious Great Prostrate Ancient Nation.
The space-time seemed to ripple in all directions.
Twelve figures emerged from the depths of space-time, led by a man in dark robes. He stood quietly, emitting no aura, yet he suppressed the eleven supreme emperors behind him.
"Strong," Lin Yuan was inwardly surprised. This man in dark robes gave him a feeling similar to the owner of the Devil jade tower.
Of course, he couldn’t compare to Emperor Xuan, the last time Lin Yuan saw him, he had forcibly ascended from the twelfth to the thirteenth rank.
"Is it the power of an Invincible Sage?" Lin Yuan speculated.
Whether it was the Scarlet Flame Supreme Emperor, the Fierce Sun Supreme Emperor, the Eternal Sun Supreme Emperor, or the other supreme emperors from the other ancient nations, they were all near the Invincible Sage level, but this man in dark robes was definitely an Invincible Sage.
Here, an Invincible Sage was one who dominated the chaotic void.
As for this primordial world? He was likely not yet an Invincible sage.
After all, under the many thirteenth-rank progenitors, there were bound to be more than one Invincible sage in each ancient nation. Since there were more than one, none could be considered invincible.
"Hahahaha, my Great Prostrate Ancient Nation is late, I hope you can forgive me," the man in dark robes smiled, addressing the other supreme emperors of the five ancient nations.
His voice had an inexplicable charm, and the distant supreme emperors were cautiously sizing him up, their thoughts slightly distorted.
The Fierce Sun supreme emperors of the Fierce Sun Ancient Nation, the Desolate Ancient Nation, and the Profound Darkness Ancient Nation, their brows slightly furrowed.
"Is it the Voidless Supreme Emperor?"
"The strength of the Voidless Supreme Emperor surpasses the peak of the supreme emperors. This time, the Great Prostrate Ancient Nation is very interested in the Treasure Land?"
"Didn’t they say the Voidless Supreme Emperor was preparing to make that leap? Why has he come?"
The other supreme emperors instantly felt the pressure, especially the Desolate Ancient Nation’s supreme emperors, who were determined to secure the First-Class Treasure Land, but now they faced the Voidless Supreme Emperor.
Even if they could pay the price to buy the Treasure Land ‘cores’ from the other ancient nations, the final count of the cores could make a significant difference.
For example, if the combined Treasure Land ‘cores’ from the other five ancient nations still fell short of another, then such an action would be meaningless.
"Don’t feel pressured."
The Scarlet Flame Supreme Emperor glanced at the Fierce Sun Supreme Emperor, "The Voidless Supreme Emperor is indeed strong, but we are not without a chance."
To secure the First-Class Treasure Land, the Fierce Sun Supreme emperors brought out some of their nation’s hidden trump cards, sufficient to counter the Voidless Supreme Emperor.
Even if the Voidless Supreme Emperor had similar means, the other four ancient nations wouldn’t just stand idly by as the Voidless Supreme Emperor swept the four directions, they would be forced to join forces to counter.
"Let's go."
The Scarlet Flame Supreme Emperor waited a moment, then led Lin Yuan and the other supreme emperors toward the winding mountain range.
