Chapter 743: The Great Emperor Makes an Appearance

What was even more terrifying was that after the Buried Soul Star Domain opened, many Holy Lands and Divine Lands that had begun to emerge also started to speak out in support of Ye Tianling.

These included the Holy Heaven Ancestral Land, the Heavenly Butterfly Soul Clan, the Golden Night Demon Race, the Cang Mountain Soul Clan, and others.

Among them, a colossal power stepped forward and directly provoked the Ji Family, demanding that their Divine Son Ji Yun and Goddess Ji Lansi kneel and beg for mercy before Ye Tianling, performing the three kneelings and nine kowtows. Otherwise, they would charge out of the Buried Soul Star Domain and annihilate the Ji Family!

The one who made this declaration was an unparalleled king of the Buried Soul Star Domain, the first-generation Peacock King of the Immortal Phoenix Peacock!

This was a true Divine Spirit, even more ancient than the Saints.

The first-generation Peacock King was named ’Kong Wanyuan’. He had achieved Enlightenment Dao in the Law of ’All Paths Return to the Source’ and had remained undefeated for ten thousand years. He was the greatest existence of the Immortal Phoenix Peacock Lineage, the greatest taboo of his generation!

For him to utter such domineering words was enough to shock the world!

On this day, after Kong Wanyuan released this news, the expressions of the Ji Family, the Qian Family, and others instantly turned extremely grim.

Forcing Ji Yun and Ji Lansi to kneel, to perform the three kneelings and nine kowtows and beg for mercy, was obviously unrealistic. It would destroy the Dao Hearts of the two great prodigies.

Ultimately, the Ji Family’s Unparalleled Daoist Ancestors, Ji Kun and Ji Xing, came forward. They rescinded their previous ferocious and domineering orders and announced to the world from across the void, bowing in apology to the first-generation Peacock King as juniors.

Peacock King Kong Wanyuan did not press the issue further. He simply declared that in this new era, the younger generation should be allowed to clash without interference.

In the depths of the endless Void, the two sides condensed their Dao Bodies and established the rules. The Upper Ranks of all factions manifested, and though no battle occurred, the scene still stirred up a storm across the world.

With great powers from both the new and old generations having emerged, the entire world was thrown into turmoil.

And what was Ye Tianling doing at this time?

The altar’s teleportation had failed. Ye Tianling did not enter the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave. Instead, he had entered a rift in the Void and was trapped within it.

Because he hadn’t entered the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave and was not in the Underground Palace, Ye Tianling could be considered to have returned to the outside world.

However, this Void rift was clearly a very special passage that could lead to the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave.

Ye Tianling continued to press forward. Through communications via his Soul Mark and the monitoring of some arrays left behind by the Mechanical Heart, he was able to learn about what was happening in the outside world.

After learning this information, Ye Tianling wanted to cause a major stir more than once, but he held himself back each time.

Finally, when Ye Tianling saw the elder Peacock King step forward, he was deeply moved. Touched as he was, he also came to a profound understanding of his own lack of strength.

He also knew that even if an agreement had been reached on the surface, there would be no shortage of assassination attempts.

All that help came from the righteousness of his friends and their past relationships.

But relationships were not the same as one’s own power. Ye Tianling knew he needed to borrow momentum.

"Little Dragon Girl, if I want to brand the battle scene between the Thunder Inference King and that Bai Yin, derive a Totem from it, and modify the projection to warn the world, what do I need to do?"

Ye Tianling asked the Mechanical Heart.

It wasn’t difficult for the Mechanical Heart to create these projections. The difficult part was how to make the scene more realistic.

If it were just a matter of creating a ’film’ with special effects, it would be extremely simple for the Mechanical Heart.

But to conform to the Heaven and Earth Laws, it had to be based entirely on the battle that took place in the Thousand Shadows Pool.

"It’s simple. You just need to combine the Divine Power from the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword, the Power of Demon God from the Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow, and the residual Hell Celestial Tribulation Celestial Punishment Origin, then alter some of the structure within a Projection Stone..."

"However, if you do this, over ninety percent of the Divine Power in the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and the Power of Demon God in the Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow will be consumed."

The Little Dragon Girl’s Mechanical Heart transmitted the corresponding information.

Ye Tianling didn’t hesitate. "Let’s do it!" he said.

The Mechanical Heart began to operate on its own.

Ye Tianling started to cooperate, performing a Blood Sacrifice on the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and the Baiyu Demon God Radiant Bow to record the projection in this isolated Space.

It was just like shooting a movie.

Only, this wasn’t filmmaking. This was Ye Tianling using the Law to project a scene from his memory.

And it was just a fragment.

But even so, after completing this projection, Ye Tianling was nearly dead from exhaustion.

He had nearly exhausted all of his potential and foundation to complete this branding.

Afterward, Ye Tianling directly transmitted the projection from the Projection Stone via messaging, sending it to Ye Tianyun and Liu Xu’Er.

Liu Xu’Er and Ye Tianyun didn’t know what the message from Ye Tianling represented, but they still contacted Feng Caiyi and Feng Cailuo. Following Ye Tianling’s instructions, they manifested the information from the Projection Stone onto the giant Projection Stone in the Ancient War Dragon Warfield at the War Dragon Academy.

The Cultivators paying attention to this scene all realized that, perhaps, the truly powerful force behind Ye Tianling was about to make a statement.

This was the third day after the Hidden Dragon Demon Cave had opened.

The giant Projection Stone in the Ancient War Dragon Warfield was instantly suffused with an azure Chaos Dao Light.

At this moment, many Disciples spontaneously took out their own Top Grade Projection Stones and began to record the scene.

Many Disciples from Holy Lands and Divine Lands also began recording while simultaneously sending real-time reports about the projection back to their own factions.

On the giant Projection Stone, a chaotic Void manifested.

A man with blood-red hair stood there quietly.

Behind him was the figure of Ye Tianling.

However, the Ye Tianling at this moment seemed somewhat dazed.

"The Emperor’s Qi Sword Body... To think you could still reach the Entry Level of Cultivation after the Desolate Ancient Era, and under such harsh conditions. You are a rare one indeed. The lineage of the Emperor’s Qi Sword Body must be passed down. Are you willing to be my Disciple?"

The man’s blood-red hair danced wildly, and his aura, which could shake the past and present, was terrifying beyond compare.

Ye Tianling was silent for a moment, seeming to hesitate.

But in the end, he nodded and said, "This Disciple... is willing."

"Mm. Your memories have been sealed. As repayment for severing my obsessions and my Demon Heart, I will unseal a memory from your sealed-away past. This is my reward to you, so that you may know your origins, your background, your past.

A person without a past can speak of neither a present nor a future.

You must walk your own path and not be influenced by any faction."

The Thunder Inference King spoke again. His voice seemed to contain an unparalleled Dao Sound, and even as a mere manifested projection, it was more than anyone could bear!

In the plaza, all the Disciples fell to their knees. Even some of the Elders could barely control the urge to kneel!

Yes, the Thunder Inference King.

An unparalleled existence, the invincible Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King.
