Chapter 155: The Eldest Senior Brother of Falling Emperor Mountain (20) |
In the starry sky.
Su Chen arrived in the Eastern Profound Domain.
After ten years apart, Lin Changsheng had changed tremendously. He was no longer the inexperienced, green youth who had just left the mountain. Instead, he had become one of the few major figures in the Eastern Profound Domain.
Su Chen felt deeply gratified.
Although Lin Changsheng did not possess Wang Yunfei's invincible Dao heart that allowed him to dominate heaven and earth, he had both won and lost battles. Yet he would never give up easily.
....
In a bustling alley.
Lin Changsheng suddenly felt someone watching him. When he turned around, there were only passersby coming and going.
"Maybe it was just my imagination," Lin Changsheng thought with a bitter smile.
Lin Changsheng gradually forgot about the earlier sensation.
"If I can win first place in the Grand Competition… perhaps I can learn news about my parents and where they are now. And as for Qingqing, if my name spreads across the universe, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land might no longer oppose us being together."
Lin Changsheng gazed toward the vast, boundless starry sky. That was his true goal. The Eastern Profound Domain was ultimately too small.
...
Su Chen returned to Falling Emperor Mountain.
The Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Domains naturally included participation from the Azure Nether Dao Domain. As one of the top orthodoxies in the domain, Falling Emperor Mountain sent elders to lead its young geniuses to the event.
Su Chen paid little attention to the competition. At his level, such an event was nothing more than a matter of face. However, this time Lin Changsheng would be participating.
After some thought, Su Chen reached out and directly dragged Long Qiu over.
"Nangong Chen, let go of this lord!"
Long Qiu bared his teeth and glared. As a dignified Great Saint-level dragon, being carried around like this was utterly undignified.
Su Chen said, "For this Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Domains, you will go in my place to oversee Falling Emperor Mountain's participation."
Long Qiu's eyes lit up. "Is Little Changsheng going to compete?"
Su Chen nodded.
Long Qiu patted his chest confidently. "With this lord around, nothing will go wrong. Nangong Chen, you can go into seclusion with peace of mind! However…"
Long Qiu hesitated. "That… Nangong Chen, could you give me a little more time? My cultivation is too high. Conceiving offspring is really too difficult."
Su Chen replied, "Then I'll give you a hundred years."
Long Qiu was overjoyed. This way, Su Chen would not send the little female dragon back to the Myriad Dragon Nest.
Su Chen continued his seclusion.
Fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.

Many events had occurred across the universe during this time, but the most significant was undoubtedly the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Domains. Countless prodigies competed fiercely for the top spot.
During the competition, a dark horse emerged. At the Profound Connection realm, he fought his way into the finals, defeating ancient freaks at the Void Refining realm. He caught the attention of a supreme figure, comprehended the Longevity Cave Heaven and the Supreme Sword Dao, battled across the eight wildernesses, defeated ten thousand enemies, and ultimately claimed the top position on the Ten Thousand Domains Prodigy Ranking.
He also won the favor of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Maiden. He entered the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, absorbed ten thousand years of its accumulated fortune, broke through to the Sovereign realm, and became an honored guest.
On this day, Su Chen was awakened from seclusion once more.
"Husband, something terrible has happened."
The person before him was Lin Wantang, who had just come out of seclusion. She was now heavily injured.
Su Chen frowned and asked, "What happened? Did something happen to Changsheng?"
Lin Wantang nodded. "Changsheng is being hunted by five major orthodoxies. He fled into a dangerous forbidden land and has since gone missing. The Purple Firmament Dao Sect, Falling Emperor Mountain, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, the Nangong Family, and the Lin Family have all sent experts, but they found nothing."
Su Chen asked, "Is Long Qiu still with Changsheng?"
Lin Wantang nodded.
Su Chen felt relieved.
With Long Qiu by Lin Changsheng's side, as long as they did not encounter any ancient monsters, nothing serious would happen in the short term.
"Five major orthodoxies…"
Su Chen's eyes turned icy cold. He memorized the names of these five orthodoxies. He would settle the score with them later. For now, however, he needed to personally visit that dangerous land.
Su Chen arrived at the Ancient God Death Ground… It was said that this place had formed from the fall of a god from the Ancient Divine Race in a distant era. It was filled with terrifying dangers. Even members of the Ancient Divine Race would almost certainly die if they entered.
A terrifying pressure suddenly swept across the entire Ancient God Land, causing countless beings of the Ancient Divine Race to tremble in fear.
"What a terrifying existence… Who has come to my Ancient Divine Race?"
An ancestor of the Ancient Divine Race opened and closed his eyes, filled with endless shock.
That streak of light shot straight into the Ancient God Death Ground.
Inside the Ancient God Death Ground, the place had formed from the fall of an unparalleled Great Emperor from the Ancient Divine Race in a previous era. The resulting forbidden zone was extremely terrifying, filled with hidden killing intent everywhere. Remnants of the Great Emperor's dao might lingered, along with ancient killing arrays left behind and taboo puppets powerful enough to rival Great Saints.
Su Chen's robes fluttered wildly. His Innate Supreme Sword Body sliced through everything in his path, like an unparalleled Great Emperor waging war in a forbidden zone.
On an island within the Ancient God Death Ground.
A white-haired old man with loose, wrinkled skin and a thin frame gazed at the endless sword mark stretching across the sky above.
"What an impolite fellow."
Beside the old man, a small loach looked at him with a fawning expression.
It knew exactly who this person was.
"Why did that Nangong Chen guy barge in here?"
Long Qiu stared at the sword mark, sensing a familiar aura.
When he turned back, the white-haired old man had already vanished. Long Qiu silently mourned, "Nangong Chen, you're on your own now."
At that moment, Su Chen shattered a taboo array and slew the great demon inside it.
"Not here."
Su Chen could not sense Lin Changsheng or Long Qiu's presence.
Just as he prepared to head to the next location, he suddenly noticed a white-haired old man with sparse hair and a gaunt figure standing in front of him. Without any deliberate effort, the old man emanated an aura that towered above all daos, causing Su Chen's heart to tremble.
An Emperor!
But Su Chen quickly realized the truth.
"You are not a Great Emperor. There cannot be a second flawless Great Emperor in this era. You are a former Emperor?
"No… You have no signs of life. You are merely a remnant soul left behind by a Great Emperor from the past!"
Su Chen understood.
The white-haired old man smiled. "The aura of the Desolate Ruins… It seems you are the current leader of his lineage. That little fellow who entered this place must be your descendant."
Su Chen cupped his hands respectfully. "This junior entered this place only to search for my son. I have disturbed Senior's peaceful cultivation. Please forgive the intrusion."
The white-haired old man waved his hand dismissively. "The little fellow is safe. This Emperor merely saw the successor of an old acquaintance and bestowed upon him a bit of good fortune. Whether he can comprehend it depends on himself."
Su Chen's heart shook.
The Desolate Ruins Great Emperor was a figure from the previous era. If this remnant soul of the white-haired old man knew the Desolate Ruins Great Emperor, then he too must be a figure from that previous era.
Su Chen asked respectfully, "May I know Senior's name? And what is your relationship with Ancestral Master Desolate Ruins Great Emperor?"
The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes. "My name… In that era, all living beings called me the Emperor Lord. As for that fellow Desolate Ruins, it was I who injured him and forced him into seated death."
