1262 - The secret of the Sky Emperor



Chapter 1262, The secret of the Sky Emperor 

What? 

Everyone was dumbstruck when they heard what Lan Tian said. 

“I am the flesh shell of the Sky Emperor.” Lan Tian continued to smile bitterly, “Back then, the Sky Emperor abandoned the practice of cultivation techniques when he became Emperor, and instead walked down the road of some bizarre space-time fiendgod methods, resulting in problems with himself. The flesh shell and the soul, unable to cope, wanted to break free. I separated from the control of the Sky Emperor, and produced an independent consciousness. The soul and flesh body were incompatible. The Sky Emperor's means are terrifying. He imprisoned me in the land of the broken Immortal, and then an opportunity came. With the help of the Divine Light Emperor, I broke out, and have been hiding outside of the area of his perception all this time. The Sky Emperor succeeded in the practice of bizarre space-time demonic methods, successfully contained the soul, but without the original flesh shell, he is still incomplete. He has been looking for his own flesh shell all this time. As long as they re-integrate, and he destroys my independent consciousness, he will become a complete body. At that time, his cultivation base will rise dramatically, and even the heavenly calamity obstructions the Divine Light Emperor had set up in the Vast Thousand Domains will be destroyed by him. He will lead the army of darkness under his command to destroy the Vast Thousand Domains. Everything will be under his control,” Lan Tian succinctly explained his origin. 

Yu Xiaoxing and the others first stared speechless at each other, and soon were utterly shocked.

Wan Wan also did not expect Lan Tian's true origin to be this. 

Especially Yu Xiaoxing. She knew that back then Ye Qingyu was also quite curious about Lan Tian's background, and had mentioned it several times before. But it was clear that Ye Qingyu had not discovered this secret, but just instinctively found it a little strange. 

It was no wonder that the great horde of beasts had attacked Deer City several times. 

The Sky Emperor must have been vaguely aware that Lan Tian could be in Deer City——During the previous two attacks, the Sky Emperor might not have been fully certain of his whereabouts. However, it was clear that there must be many places he had suspected, which had been tested by the horde of beasts, and Deer City was the only one in Heaven Wasteland Domain. Because Heaven Wasteland Domain was only connected to the Vast Thousand Domains for a short period of time, the Sky Emperor was unable to determine all this for a long time. It was only until the third attack of the horde of beasts that, because of some clues, he finally was aware of the truth. 

It was no wonder that the Sky Emperor must find Lan Tian at all costs. 

It turned out that the youngster with long, sky blue-coloured hair, who never seemed to age, was the flesh of the Sky Emperor. 

Such a secret, if it hadn’t come from the mouth of Lan Tian, besides Hon Kong and the mysterious thin and tall expert, the other people would absolutely not think of it. 

Even the new Empress Shui Xiu found it extremely surprising. 

The statement that the flesh and soul were separated had never been heard of before. In general, it was only after the destruction of a martial artist's body that the soul would exist alone, and needed to be seized as soon as possible or find a new body, otherwise the cultivation base would deteriorate and the strength greatly damaged. The Sky Emperor's situation was extremely rare. According to Lan Tian, it was because the Sky Emperor, after achieving the Martial Emperor realm, had turned to practice other techniques, resulting in the incompatibility between the Emperor body and soul. Presumably it is only when one’s martial arts cultivation base reaches the extreme degree of the Sky Emperor that such a strange thing would happen. 

The eyes of the crowd were fixed on Lan Tian. 

After the truth had come out, everyone could be sure that with Lan Tian around, it was equivalent to carrying a natural signal source. Without the isolation force set up by someone like the Divine Light Emperor, no matter how far everyone escapeed to in this torrent of time and space, the Sky Emperor could still accurately find them. It was only a matter of time. 

Wen Wan and Gao Diping were also a little surprised. 

Because the two of them also did not know about this matter. 

But this was normal, because His Highness had always taken almost everything into account, and arranged many tricks and plans. Although they were both trusted aides who His Highness rely heavily upon, not everything was known to them.  

Ximen Yeshui stroked his chin, as though he had thought of something, and grinned, “So, I suddenly thought of a good way to solve the problem...” Waiting until the eyes of the crowd all fell on him, he then stared at Lan Tian and said righteously, “If I make a move now, kill you, and let you turn to ashes, then the Sky Emperor would never find you, never get his original flesh shell, and never be able to restore his peak power. Wouldn't this put things right once and for all?”

Everybody quivered inwardly when they heard this. 

Although Ximen Yeshui wore a detestable expression, his proposal made a lot of sense. 

This was indeed a solution. 

But the problem was that it was cruel and unfair to Lan Tian. 

Lan Tian smiled bitterly, shaking his head, and was just about to explain something. 

The thin and tall expert sneered coldly, “Such a stupid way, do you think you're smart? If there is a way in this world to destroy him, then I would have already done it. I definitely would have turned him to ashes and make him disappear from this world. The problem is... no... back then, I have received great kindness from the Divine Light Emperor, so I vowed to repay him by ensuring that this boy does not fall into the hands of the Sky Emperor. I have protected him for so many years. Your simple way, if it works, I would have already killed him a million times. Do I need to wait for you to tell me? You think you're clever?” 

Ximen Yeshui was taken aback.

Lan Tian also nodded, his expression extremely sincere, “I am the flesh shell of the Sky Emperor. The Sky Emperor’s former cultivation base has already reached an unimaginable level, and the flesh body has been refined to the extreme peak state. Even Emperor weapons cannot destroy him completely. After the flesh shell and soul separated, the Sky Emperor used the fiendgod  contract method to establish a contract with the flesh shell. As long as his soul is undestroyed, the flesh shell will remain. So now I, although it seems that my cultivation base isn’t high, I am in an Immortal state. If it wasn’t for this reason, I would have long been tired of all this and ended myself already.”

Ximen Yeshui stared dumbfounded at him. 

Yu Xiaoxing and the others, looking at the expression of the thin and tall mysterious expert and Lan Tian, also could tell that this wasn’t a lie. 

“Then all we can do is fight to the end.” Yu Xiaxoing smiled. “Do our best, as long as we do all we could, it doesn’t matter what the result is. It is not something we can guarantee. I hope His Highness really has something prepared.”

Everyone nodded. 

At this point that was the only way. 

Empress Shui Xiu pondered for a moment, then her eyes fell on the Light Palace. “I can feel that this palace contains terrifying force. It is a treasure, if I operate the formations in this place with Emperor qi, perhaps I can block him for a period of time...”  

Before her voice faded, her expression abruptly changed, “He’s here.” 

In the distant torrent of time and space, came a very terrifying power, and vaguely blue flames were seen flowing in, approaching everyone at lightning speed. 

“Everyone quick get into the Light Palace,” Yu Xiaoxing exclaimed.  

Without hesitation, the others all entered the Light Palace. 

Rumble! 

An ancient noise sounded, as the gate of the palace slowly rumbled shut. 

In the next instant, the Sky Emperor's followers were already thousands of meters away.  

“You can't go,” the Sky Emperor roared from afar, and with a raise of his hand, a blue palm of thousands of meters wide, with incomparably tyrannical power, moved toward the Light Palace in an attempt to grab hold of it directly. 

Boom! 

A silver flame shot out from the Light Palace, overflowing with Emperor qi, and dispersed the giant blue palm.  

“Huh?” the Sky Emperor exclaimed. 

But he understood what had happened the next moment. 

“So the new Empress of the Seven Fingers Race is controlling the palace. Hmph, you want to use the power of this treasure to fight against me? Unfortunately, in this world, besides him, no one knows this treasure more than I do. Even if it falls in your hands, it is just a pearl covered in dust. You won't be able to display any of its true power. If you want to obstruct me then you have to think harder,” the Sky Emperor sneered. 

After ten seconds, they had completely caught up to the Light Palace. 

The group of people landed on the steps of the gate of the Light Palace. 

“All the secrets of the palace and the methods to control it, I understand very well,” the Sky Emperor sighed regretfully. “It's time for you to restore your true face.”

His palm gently rubbed a stone pillar outside the Light Palace, when a strange force rippled out. The originally black pillars, walls, foundation and stone steps were gradually flickering a silver brilliance. It was as though there was an invisible force erasing this black colour. Soon the appearance of the entire palace had changed. All the colours were turned to pure silver, and the whole palace looked as though it was constructed from Immortal silver. It was no longer as solemn and gloomy as it was before, but became sacred and pure, radiating Immortal qi and full of dreamy tones. 

Evidently, this was the true form of the Light Palace back in the ancient years. 

Having done all this, the Sky Emperor slowly came to the palace gate, raised his hand and pressed on the door, pushing gently. 

“Open!” 

He operated the control method, ready to open the palace door. 

To his surprise and disbelief, the door that should have opened in response was inactive. 

“Huh? Open!” The Sky Emperor attempted again. 

The door still did not move a jot. 

The Sky Emperor’s countenance changed abruptly. 

Back then, he had also controlled this Light Palace and was fully aware of its secrets, but now he couldn’t open this door? 

What was going on? 

He fixed his palm to the silver door and began to sense the changes. 

In the end, in his eyes, there was a strange flicker of light, “The core formation of the temple has changed... She is able to do this, alter the Immortal object that doesn't belong in this world... How is that impossible, after all, she hasn’t transcend worldliness. How can she alter the core of the Immortal object... If that’s the case, then it’s going to be a little bit troublesome.”

Eventually, he tried to bombard the entrance with violence. 

Although the Immortal object was powerful, the person who was controlling the Immortal object was not that person. Thus this method can also be attempted. 

But he was disappointed. 

No matter how strong the force, no matter how he bombarded the silver door of the palace, like a clay ox entering the sea, it eventually disappeared without a trace——
