Chapter 5099 What’s His Origin?
Watching Jian Wushuang, who was stubbornly uncooperative, even the Immortal Lord Zhen Yao found himself quite frustrated.
He couldn't be persuaded with gentle words, and using force wasn't an option either. To uncover the secrets he sought, it seemed he'd have to dig deeper into the other Yan Immortals.
With this in mind, Immortal Lord Zhen Yao turned his gaze towards the divine craftsman Xu Tuo and said, "Old Friend, you must know something, don't you?"
Xu Tuo did not hesitate for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Everything happened too quickly. Even if I wanted to know something, I wouldn't have had the chance."
Immortal Lord Zhen Yao made a tempting offer, "Speak up, and I'll ask the Emperor to give you another Heavenly Region that's even more perfect than the Sancun Mountain."
Xu Tuo shook his head again and fell silent.
"You old coot, I'll see how long you can hold out!" Immortal Lord Zhen Yao grew impatient and frustrated.
Nan Xuan quickly distanced himself, saying, "Don't look at me, I know nothing. I'm just a passing Yan Immortal; this has nothing to do with me."
Immortal Lord Zhen Yao rose in anger and decided not to press any further.
Then, a golden light suddenly passed through the clouds surrounding the Skyside Cloud Platform, filling the air with a breathtaking aura.
The various Immortal Lords Elders immediately changed their expressions, looking solemnly towards the outside of the Skyside Cloud Platform.
Pure golden rays pierced through layers of clouds and projected onto the vast Dao Arena within the Skyside Cloud Platform.
Following that, two majestic figures descended from the clouds and landed on the platform.
Upon seeing these two figures, Jian Wushuang couldn't help but be speechless.
The divine craftsman Xu Tuo's mind shook, and he closed his eyes, refusing to watch any further.
Prince Jiu was both astonished and delighted.
Nan Xuan, although he had never been to the Heavenly Court, could sense the aura and fluctuations in the air. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
As for the disciples of the Sancun Mountain, they had long since fainted, missing the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Emperor's true appearance.
The arrival was none other than the supreme being of the entire Heavenly Court, Zhen Wuyang, along with Yu Chang.
"Greetings, Your Majesty," led by Immortal Lord Zhen Yao, the ten Immortal Lord Elders paid their respects.
Zhen Wuyang waved his hand and then slowly scanned over Jian Wushuang and the others, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
"How is the situation in the Great Mi Heaven?" he inquired.
Immortal Lord Zhen Yao nodded slightly. "Your Majesty, the situation is not too favorable. One-sixth of the Heavenly Realm has been turned into nothingness."
Zhen Wuyang's expression hardened. "One-sixth of the Heavenly Realm turned into nothingness?"
"Indeed, that's the truth."
"Is it their doing?"
"At the moment, we don't know," Immortal Lord Zhen Yao replied, looking somewhat embarrassed. "However, the ones responsible for the destruction of the Heavenly Realm have been identified."
At this, Zhen Wuyang looked once again at Jian Wushuang, his voice deep and dignified. "Jian Wushuang, why do we find your presence in the Great Mitian? Shouldn't you be in the Six Heavens Realm?"
Jian Wushuang's lips trembled slightly, and then he replied, "Um, I just needed some time to clear my mind."
"Clear your mind? Why didn't you go with Yan'er, then?" Zhen Wuyang furrowed his brow slightly.
"..."
Immortal Lord Zhen Yao hastily interjected, "Your Majesty, the Young Emperor is the Crown Prince and shouldn't move around freely."
Only then did Zhen Wuyang realize the impropriety of his words. After a slight cough, he turned to Immortal Lord Zhen Yao. "Since the culprit behind the Heavenly Realms' destruction has been found, release them on the spot."
Immortal Lord Zhen Yao nodded and immediately took a small cauldron from his waist, tossing it into the air.
In an instant, a brilliant radiance emanated from the cauldron, and chains of great aura and fortune extended out, followed by a figure in a black robe descending to the ground.
With the appearance of the black-robed figure, the tranquil and peaceful Heavenly Court suddenly exuded a dangerous aura.
At that moment, both Zhen Wuyang and Yu Chang focused their gaze.
The kingly fate energy and aura of the Emperor directly suppressed the black-robed figure. Bound by the chains of great fate energy, and further suppressed by the Emperor's fate energy, the black-robed figure, which had originally been formidable enough to contend with Peak Grand Yan Immortals, disintegrated rapidly.
Zhen Wuyang concentrated and waved his hand, lowering the layers of Emperor's fate energy, shattering the chains on the black-robed figure.
Without any restraint, the black-robed figure rose to its feet, and an indescribable eerie aura instantly erupted.
However, Zhen Wuyang merely moved his palm slightly, shattering that aura.
The entire SkySide Cloud Platform surged with winds and dark clouds appeared.
Zhen Wuyang's expression turned solemn as he stared intently at the black-robed figure.
After a while, he spoke in a calm tone, "Where do you come from, and why do you want to destroy our Great Si Region?"
The black-robed figure raised its head, and a muffled and desolate voice emanated from beneath the hood, "One who gazes upon the Secret Text shall perish!"
Zhen Wuyang frowned, "Did you come from the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm?"
At this moment, Yuchang, who had remained silent until now, shook his head slightly, "It's unlikely that this person is from the Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm. They are very cautious and rarely intrude into our Great Si Region."
"Indeed, they also don't have any hair," Zhen Wuyang added with a hint of mockery before becoming solemn again. "But why can't I discern their cultivation level? Could it be that they are not a Yan Immortal?"
"One who gazes upon the Secret Text shall perish!" the black-robed figure repeated.
"Those who pry into the Secret Text?" Zhen Wuyang looked directly at Jian Wushuang and then waved his hand, bringing him closer.
"What are these Secret Text, and did you come to the Great Mi Heaven Heavenly Region to find them?"
Jian Wushuang was speechless for a moment. Then, the chains of fate energy binding him were wiped away, and he stood before Zhen Wuyang and Yu Chang.
"Well, I'm not entirely sure myself. I haven't figured out anything yet."
"Did you go to the Great Mi Heaven Heavenly Region to find Xu Tuo and search for some Secret Text?" Zhen Wuyang hit the nail on the head.
With things having come this far, Jian Wushuang did not want to conceal too much. "Yes, that's correct."
"Being able to destroy one-sixth of the Heavenly Region in the Great Mi Heaven is probably beyond your capabilities," Zhen Wuyang stared at him intently, "Was it a battle between you?"
Jian Wushuang shook his head, "With my strength, I could barely defend myself."
"Then who was it that fought against him?"
"Changfu."
"Changfu?"
"Yes, he held off the black-robed figure at the cost of his own life."
Zhen Wuyang furrowed his brows; this was bad news for him.
Changfu was a Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal who had emerged from the Ancient Era and had followed him for countless ages, enduring numerous bloody battles. He had ultimately established the Great Si Region and was a venerable veteran of the Heavenly Court.
But now, his Senior Elder Changfu had silently passed away.
Taking a deep breath, Zhen Wuyang turned to Jian Wushuang and asked, "So, where did this black-robed fellow come from?"
Regarding the origin of the figure, apart from Jian Wushuang, not even Nan Xuan or the skilled craftsman Xu Tuo could guess.
As long as he did not reveal it, no Yan Immortal would know where the black-robed figure had come from.
However, Jian Wushuang now faintly realized that the Heavenly Script Bone Armor was not as simple as he had imagined.
In a sense, it had already surpassed his control.
So far, Jian Wushuang was convinced that the secret messages hidden in the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor were related to Xuan Yi.
But everything remained unresolved, still shrouded in mystery, and extremely dangerous.
What was the true identity of the black-robed figure within the Heaven-Patterned Bone Armor?
