Chapter 811 The Purple Mountain Bell Rings! The Mad Old Man Arrives!
Chapter 811 The Purple Mountain Bell Rings! The Mad Old Man Arrives!
Upon Chu Yang's arrival, everyone in the hall fell silent. The Peacock King smiled and said, "Nephew, Qin Yao has already told you about the Jiang family's affairs, hasn't she?"
Chu Yang nodded, walked over and sat down next to Yan Ruyu, then said directly, "Esteemed seniors, since the Jiang family's troubles arose because of me, could you please hear me out?"
Judging from his attitude, he seemed to have other plans. Many of the elders frowned slightly, and the Peacock King asked with doubt, "Don't you want to take this opportunity to severely damage the Jiang family?"
The return of the old god-king of the Jiang family is a momentous event. Countless old monsters will emerge, and countless powerful figures will target the Jiang family.
If the demon race adds fuel to the fire, all forces will rise up to attack, not only killing the old god king, but also eliminating some of the Jiang family's powerful members, causing the Jiang family to fall into decline!
It's already a consensus among many factions; everyone believes that it's impossible for an old god-king, on the verge of death, to dream of being reborn from his old body.
How many great emperors throughout history have failed to live to see a second life?
The Azure Dragon King suddenly spoke up: "You don't need to worry too much. The Ancient Sacred Body has stirred up trouble and attracted many powerful figures to Purple Mountain."
"Not to mention that even forces closely related to the Jiang family wouldn't want to see the old God King not return to his peak, even if they wanted to help, they wouldn't have the time or resources!"
Chu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. Had Ye Fan already started using the Purple Mountain to trick people?
It's developing a bit too fast!
Only a month has passed. Ye Fan was still causing trouble in the Southern Region a month ago. How come he suddenly came to the Northern Region and has already been to Purple Mountain?
The fact that he could stir up trouble at Purple Mountain means he must be in the Holy City and wants to use this to distract the powerful figures of the Eastern Wilderness and buy time for the Old God King.
The problem lies in the Bronze Immortal Palace?
What did the Ruthless Emperor do?
Chu Yang seemed to be deep in thought. First, the Azure Emperor helped Yan Ruyu make great strides, and now the Ruthless Great Emperor is helping Ye Fan accelerate his growth.
So, he only showed his face in front of these two emperors, and they became nervous?
Of course, Chu Yang knew that the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Azure Emperor had no ill intentions. Perhaps it was related to the contingency plans they had left behind, and the eternal scheme.
After a moment's hesitation, Chu Yang spoke softly, "Esteemed seniors, I have no intention of taking action against the Jiang family!"
"On the contrary, I'm going to lend the old God-King a hand!"
These words caused an uproar in the room.
Why would you help your enemy when they're in trouble instead of kicking them when they're down?
What kind of logic is this?
Only Pang Bo's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang glanced around at everyone and dropped another bombshell.
"I personally rescued the old God King, and we have a deep connection."
Everyone in the store was stunned. Even the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost.
Chu Yang continued, "Ultimately, the Jiang family only has the thirteenth ancestor lineage, and they have always been fighting against us."
"You can rest assured, even if the old God King returns to his peak, he will definitely be a friend, not an enemy."
The powerful demons slowly came to their senses. The Azure Dragon King frowned and said, "Nephew Chu, you must know that people's hearts are unpredictable. The Jiang family may not appreciate your kindness..."
His words were rather tactful, but the meaning was clear.
That is, although Chu Yang saved Jiang Taixu, he was just an outsider after all, so how could he have Chinese medicine from a blood relative?
Chu Yang shook his head and smiled, "The old God King's character is still trustworthy..."
"Everyone can rest assured. When I saved him, I borrowed the power of my past life and forced my way into the dojo of the Great Emperor Wushi. Even if he had ulterior motives, he wouldn't dare to do anything."
This was meant to reassure the demons, since words alone were not enough; he believed Jiang Taixu, but others might not.
Chu Yang deliberately brought out the power from his previous life and the Daoist temple of the Great Emperor Wushi, which was enough to suppress these powerful demons.
As expected, the group of demon clan leaders felt their scalps tingle.
Who is the Great Emperor Wushi?
He was one of the most dazzling emperors throughout countless ages!
Moreover, judging from Chu Yang's words, the so-called rumor that he could no longer use the power of his previous life was simply a rumor!
These words further elevated Chu Yang's standing in everyone's eyes.
A peerless genius of his generation and a genius who can borrow the power of an emperor at any time are completely different things.
The Azure Dragon King glanced at Yan Ruyu beside Chu Yang, then pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Since Nephew Chu has put it this way, then we will not interfere in this matter!"
"But if you want to help the old God King, we still won't get involved."
"For the old God-King to return to his peak, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven!"
"If he fails, have you considered the consequences?"
The Azure Dragon King was essentially laying it all out in advance: no one had high hopes for Jiang Taixu, and no one believed he could return to his peak.
Even without Jiang Taixu, the Jiang family will still be the same Jiang family; their essence will not change, and they will inevitably clash sooner or later.
Moreover, helping Jiang Taixu would inevitably create many enemies.
The demon race and Jiang Taixu had no connection, so they didn't want to gamble with Chu Yang, nor did they want to bear the consequences of failure.
Yan Ruyu and the Peacock King both frowned slightly, and Pang Bo's eyes also flickered.
They naturally wanted to help, but the Azure Dragon King had already spoken, and the three of them were all figures who could represent the demon race, so they were in a dilemma.
Yan Ruyu and the Peacock King simply wanted to help Chu Yang, while Pang Bo knew that his good brother Ye Fan had a close relationship with Jiang Taixu.
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, thank you, senior!"
The Azure Dragon King had already shown him a lot of respect, after all, he was different from the Peacock King and they didn't have much of a relationship.
"when!!!"
Just then, a bell rang throughout the holy city, and all the powerful demons stood up and looked out with solemn expressions.
The bell tolled from the direction of Zishan!
What exactly happened?
Everyone's souls resonated with the sound of the bell, and a terrifying pressure lingered wherever the bell rang.
That was the might of the Great Emperor!
"Imperial might! Could it be that there is still a Great Emperor alive?!" A great demon looked shocked.
Peacock King, Azure Dragon King, Yan Ruyu, and Chu Yang all looked towards the Heavenly Palace in the center of the Holy City.
That was the location of the Ancient Dao Platform. The group sensed seven or eight powerful auras crossing the void and landing on the Ancient Dao Platform.
Those people are all Saint Lord level figures!
"They are the ones who attacked Zishan..."
The Peacock King's tone was extremely grave. "What exactly happened at Purple Mountain that forced so many Saint Lord-level figures to escape back using the Ancient Dao Platform?"
Chu Yang withdrew his gaze and said softly, "You all had better listen to me. No matter how things get on Zishan, don't get involved in this mess."
"That's a death pit; no matter how many people go there, they'll die!"
Everyone was shocked. Now no one dared to underestimate Chu Yang anymore, nor did anyone regard him as just another member of the younger generation.
This is a ruthless character who once stormed the dojo of the Great Emperor Wushi and rescued an unparalleled god-king from it!
Moreover, he was a great emperor in his previous life, so his understanding of such dangerous places must be far greater than that of the people present.
Two days later, the matter of Zishan was finally made public.
The various holy sites attacked Zishan, but almost suffered total annihilation!
These guys thought Purple Mountain was too dangerous and didn't want to venture too far, so they planned to cut the mountain in half, which is why the Boundless Bell rang.
Even from such a great distance, the sound of the bell could linger in the holy city, drawing upon the might of the Great Emperor.
People from various holy sites were right next to Purple Mountain, and they were the first to be hit, so you can imagine the impact they received.
All the replicas of the Supreme Emperor Weapons that were brought there were instantly reduced to dust. If it weren't for the few Holy Lords leading the remaining people to cross the void using the Ancient Dao Platform, they would probably all have perished there!
The name of the Great Emperor Wushi has once again shaken the world after hundreds of thousands of years!
When the demons learned that Purple Mountain was the Daoist temple of the Great Emperor Wushi, they immediately understood what was going on.
So Jiang Taixu was the one Chu Yang rescued from Zishan!
No wonder he said it was a mass grave; he had been there himself.
At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A single glimpse of the Beginningless Dao reveals all emptiness!
This assessment of the Great Emperor Wushi by later generations alone is enough to show how powerful this emperor was in his prime.
At the same time, the powerful demons were also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, even without Chu Yang's reminder, they had not gotten involved in this matter.
Otherwise, in times of crisis, the human race's holy lords might not necessarily take them with them to escape.
After all, only those who possess the "Stone Token" can use the Ancient Dao Platform to instantly traverse the void.
There were only nine stone tokens, which had already been divided up by the Holy Land and the ancient aristocratic families. The demon race did not have a single one.
Chu Yang felt that the minds of those holy land lords were really not very sharp.
Knowing that Zishan is dangerous, they still tried to forcibly cut off the mountain peak. Is this a method that carbon-based biological energy could come up with?
What's the difference between this and courting death?
The events at Zishan overshadowed the uproar surrounding the return of the old god-king of the Jiang family, but this only applied to low- and mid-level cultivators.
Whether it's Zishan or the Old God King, they're just watching the show.
After their attacks on Purple Mountain failed, the various holy lands and ancient families turned their attention to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is now facing both internal and external troubles. On the one hand, they still don't know who leaked the information, and on the other hand, they are facing pressure from all sides.
However, since the truth had already been revealed, the Jiang family decided not to hide it any longer and openly sought a way to prolong their lives from the entire world.
For the next period of time, Chu Yang wandered around the major stone archways in Zhengzhou, but never cut stones in public, making many people itch with desire.
As everyone already knows, Chu Shaodi's high level of Origin Technique is not due to his bet with Xia Yiming, but because he set a trap for Jin Chixiao.
If finding a rare treasure can be explained by luck, then deliberately selecting four Originium stones that yield not even a trace of Originium is a matter of skill.
In the Tianzihao Stone Garden of Yaochi Stone Workshop, the source stones are expensive, but there is a reason for the high price.
When cutting stones, it's rare to find a fruitless endeavor.
Even if things go terribly wrong, at least you can cut out a little bit of pure source. Although you'll still lose everything, at least you'll have some psychological comfort.
The fact that Chu Yang didn't cut the stone has sparked a lot of speculation.
Could it be that this young emperor could see at a glance that the object in the stone was extraordinary, but did not want to cause too much of a commotion in public?
Some people have compared him to "Gu Feng," who has recently gained fame in the Holy City and has also stirred up trouble with his Origin Arts.
Unfortunately, there was very little information to refer to, and Chu Yang only revealed a trick at the Yaochi Stone Archway.
The most interesting thing is that there were even people from families specializing in Origin Arts who came to the Demon Clan's palace, wanting to pay a visit and ask Chu Yang for advice on Origin Arts.
These guys have always been extremely arrogant, believing themselves to be no less skilled than others in source techniques.
However, Chu Yang is the reincarnation of an emperor, which makes many people subconsciously feel that his source techniques are inherited from his previous life.
No matter how arrogant a person is, they would never think that their abilities are greater than those of the Emperor!
Over the course of a month, Chu Yang quietly made a fortune, while Ye Fan, disguised as "Gu Feng," stirred up more and more trouble.
Divine Medicine Seeds, Fighting Sacred Ape, Goddess of the Source...
The things that came out after being cut were more and more frightening than the last!
Li Heishui and his three companions were constantly on the move. While Chu Yang was in seclusion, they had followed the Peacock King, the Azure Dragon King, and the Seventh Bandit Tu Tian to participate in the interception of the Yao Guang Holy Master.
It was during that incident that they met Ye Fan and gradually became close friends.
It's worth mentioning that the controversy surrounding Yao Xi's bra did not materialize. It is said that this Holy Maiden of Yao Guang has disappeared from public view for quite some time.
She was not present when the Holy Lord of Yaoguang was intercepted and killed, and her whereabouts are unknown.
While following Ye Fan in his public displays of power, Li Heishui and his companions would often visit Chu Yang after returning to the demon clan's palace to watch him cut stones.
Even the Peacock King would occasionally join in the fun, because Chu Yang would cause quite a stir every now and then.
He has already accumulated dozens of kilograms of divine resources!
He hadn't accumulated much pure source or heterogeneous source, partly because he had already perfected the Third Divine Treasury, and partly because he had been focusing all his efforts on feeding the white rats and sword embryos.
The bronze bowl is now filled with sword energy, almost solidified, and the day when the sword embryo is completely repaired is not far off.
The white rat's fur was shiny, and its eyes became increasingly lively. It even tried to escape from the star space while Chu Yang was feeding it, and it was almost becoming a spirit.
In addition, Chu Yang also cut out a lot of divine iron and all sorts of weapons.
Most of these weapons have lost their spiritual essence, but their materials are extraordinary.
Although divine iron cannot compare to the ultimate immortal gold, it is still a treasure for refining weapons.
He specifically used an ordinary star to store Originium, and now six Originium are quietly placed inside.
Once these source stones are cut open, they will surely reveal something astonishing.
It was estimated that even the Peacock King and the Azure Dragon King couldn't control it, so Chu Yang planned to have Jiang Taixu guard the pass for him after the Jiang family's turmoil subsided.
During this time, the monkey came to the Holy City once. After finding Chu Yang, he only said that he was going on a long journey to find his own path.
Chu Yang gave him some resources and then let him go.
Taking in the monkey as a servant, or rather, a dependent, was merely a casual move he made.
Unlike the Golden-Winged Roc King, the monkey does not yet have a clear direction for cultivation, that is, it has not found its own path.
Although Chu Yang gave him the Qi Source Stream and instructed him to cultivate a single secret realm, he still had to figure out how to cultivate it and what to do on his own.
The Golden-Winged Roc King, on the other hand, had been in seclusion, reforging all 108,000 swords—a task that would keep him busy for quite some time…
Chu Yang's source stones were not enough to cover his expenses, because purchasing source stones required costs, and most of the treasures he cut out could be used for his own benefit, so he did not intend to sell them.
This leads to an increasing number of treasures being received, but a decreasing amount of resources remaining in one's pocket.
Just as he was pondering whether he should launch a special sweep targeting the alien source, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared at his door.
Looking at the old man who seemed to be insane and had cloudy eyes, Chu Yang clicked his tongue.
How did this guy end up on my head? (End of Chapter)
