Chapter 374 Demon Suppression Continent! The Great Palace! The Dharma Body's 'Heart'
One after another, imposing figures rushed into the dimensional portal, drawing the attention of the entire Central Continent.
Outside the palace, Chu Yang looked at Xiao Xiao and Dan Tong and said with a smile, "It's time for you two to set off too."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently patted Dan Tong's chest, and a surge of Origin Qi flowed into his body.
"I've concealed your true form, so even a Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't notice anything amiss."
"Thank you, Master!" Dan Tong scratched his head. He was no longer a child, but a young man with a handsome appearance and fair skin.
Dan Tong's true form has now reached the level of an Emperor-grade pill, and it will continue to evolve as its strength increases.
Once he breaks through to the Earthly Sovereign realm, if his true form is revealed, even the Heavenly Sovereigns will likely covet it.
"Master, I will make the name of the Yunlan Sect resound throughout the entire Great Thousand World!"
Xiao Xiao clenched her fist, looking very energetic.
Due to the evolution of her bloodline, she still looks like a young girl. According to Chu Yang's estimate, she will not be able to leave her childhood until she breaks through to the Earthly Supreme Realm.
In other words, the bloodline of this small magical beast will reach the Earthly Sovereign level once it reaches adulthood.
Her descendants will be the same!
Such a bloodline, if placed in the vast world, would, once it spread and flourish, become a super divine beast race.
After the two children left, Chu Yang looked at Tang Huo'er, who understood immediately. She turned to face the important officials of the Great Xia Dynasty and said softly:
"King Zhenyou, after entering the Great Thousand World, you will lead the Netherworld Army on independent operations. You must become the battle formation master your teacher spoke of, and forge the Netherworld Army into an unparalleled legion!"
The demonic wind stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your Majesty, I will certainly not fail your high expectations!"
Tang Huo'er nodded, then looked at the Dan Tower Ancestor, "Grand Preceptor, you should lead the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to remain independent of the Dynasty, and return to the Dynasty when the time is right."
The old patriarch of the Pill Tower stepped forward. He was no longer a child, but a handsome young man. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this old minister will certainly ensure the growth and prosperity of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!"
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was formerly the Pill Tower, which gathered a large number of alchemists. According to Chu Yang, alchemists focus on soul power, and upon arriving in the Great Thousand World, they can switch to cultivating spirit array masters.
After all, once you reach the level of Dou Di or above, pills become less effective, and there are no high-level pill formulas available. Unless you have extremely high attainments in the field of alchemy, it is difficult to achieve anything significant in this area.
And this so-called high level of expertise must at least reach the level of anti-inflammatory treatment.
Looking across the Dou Qi Continent, there are very few people who can compare with Xiao Yan in terms of talent and alchemy skills. Moreover, without the support of a powerful strange fire, it is already a difficult task to refine those rare and precious medicinal treasures with powerful effects.
Tang Huo'er turned to look at Yun Yun, and before she could speak, Nalan Yanran said with a smile:
"Don't worry! My teacher and I will definitely make Hundred Flowers Pavilion a renowned name in the region!"
"When the time comes, people will be absolutely shocked to find out that the Hundred Flowers Pavilion is a force of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
Tang Huo'er smiled slightly, then said to Zhu Kun, "Prime Minister, you will accompany me to lay a solid foundation for the Great Xia Dynasty in the Great Thousand Worlds!"
Zhu Kun's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "This old minister will certainly remove all obstacles for Your Majesty!"
Just then, two figures flew over and landed in front of the palace.
Upon seeing them, Chu Yang laughed heartily and said, "Brothers, you're late!"
The two figures were none other than Zhu Li and Qi You, looking travel-worn. Zhu Li said with a wry smile, "Brother Chu, if it weren't for the Sound Emperor's help, I'm afraid it would have taken us another six months to break through!"
"But it's not too late yet!"
Seeing this, many people were secretly envious. Nowadays, on the Dou Qi Continent, there are probably only these two people who can still be brothers with Chu Yang.
At first, Zhu Li and Qi You had some reservations, after all, the difference in strength and status was too great, and it was really inappropriate for them to call Chu Yang their brother.
But under Chu Yang's insistence, the two had no choice but to comply with his wishes.
At the same time, she felt more and more that being honest with Chu Yang back on Donglong Island, before she knew his true strength, was the best decision she ever made.
"What are your plans, gentlemen?"
Chu Yang bypassed Tang Huo'er and asked the two of them about their wishes.
Tang Huo'er naturally had no objection to this.
Although Zhu Li and Qi You held the title of Protector of the Nation in the Great Xia Dynasty, they were not subordinate to her; rather, they were more like guest ministers.
The two exchanged a glance, and finally Zhu Li said, "We two will stay on the Dou Qi Continent and guard the dimensional passage!"
"Once I break through to the Dou Di realm, I'll venture into the Great Thousand Worlds!"
Chu Yang nodded, then handed them the two black tokens, saying, "If you go to the Great Thousand World, activate these two tokens with your soul power. I will come to find you immediately and bestow upon you a great fortune!"
Zhu Li and Qi You's expressions brightened, and a wry smile appeared on their faces. The former sighed and said, "Brother Chu, we are truly unworthy of this honor!"
Tang Huo'er suddenly smiled and said, "You two seniors are mistaken!"
"You are the true guardians of our Great Xia, the very dragons who protect our nation. When you travel abroad, you bear the mark of our Great Xia. If you become awe-inspiring in your region, Great Xia will also be honored!"
"So it may seem like the teacher is helping you, but actually she's helping me!"
Chu Yang glanced at Tang Huo'er and a smile appeared on his face.
This girl is growing too fast. Whether it's cultivation, managing the dynasty, or her methods of governing subordinates and interpersonal skills, she is constantly improving.
After these words were spoken, it would seem rather pretentious for Zhu Li and Qi You to continue to refuse. So the two immediately clasped their hands in a fist salute and then said nothing more.
Chu Yang stretched and said, "Let's go! It's time for us to set off!"
Tang Huo'er pursed her lips. The Netherworld Army, led by Yao Feng, was the first to rush into the dimensional passage, followed by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and finally the powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty, led by Tang Huo'er.
Chu Yang stayed behind last. The dimensional portal he constructed was absolutely stable and would not randomly teleport anyone entering the portal to different areas.
However, through his deliberate arrangement, he teleported the various teams that had split up to different corners of the Great Thousand World.
On the one hand, it allows them to develop independently, and on the other hand, it makes it easier for them to gain a foothold in remote areas and make gradual progress.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Chu Yang glanced at Xiao Yan, who was standing in the distance.
Xiao Yan cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "I will forever remember the Emperor Chu's kindness. This is the origin of the Emperor Flame; I will certainly present it to you in person when I forge the unparalleled Emperor Flame in the future!"
As he spoke, he gently raised his hand, and a dazzling ball of colorful flame floated out from his palm, while simultaneously handing over an ancient-looking token.
"I thought you'd forgotten our promise..."
Chu Yang joked as he accepted the Emperor Flame Origin, then tossed the token around and asked with a smile:
"What does this mean?"
Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said, "This token contains a wisp of my soul power. As long as it is crushed, I will rush to your side no matter where you are."
He paused, then added, "My abilities may not be enough to help Emperor Chu, but I will certainly do my utmost to provide assistance!"
Chu Yang smiled and put away the token, then said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Even in the Great Thousand World, you are destined not to be unknown."
"I might actually need your help to solve some trouble for me in the future!"
Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, taking Chu Yang's words as mere politeness.
After Xiao Yan left, Chu Yang stepped into the void and arrived in front of the dimensional passage. He turned his head to look at the Dou Qi Continent behind him and said with a smile:
"Tianyin, this Dou Qi Continent is now in your hands!"
"In that vast world, I might offend many people; I mustn't let anyone steal my home!"
A cheerful voice rang in his ear, "Don't worry! I've got you covered!"
Chu Yang laughed heartily, then without further hesitation, turned and rushed into the dimensional portal.
…………
The vast world, the Demon-Suppressing Continent.
This continent is not well-known in the vast world, and few people even know about it.
It is only a medium-sized continent, and in terms of area alone, it is at the bottom among medium-sized continents.
However, this continent holds special significance for top experts and major powers.
Because the headquarters of the number one power in the Great Thousand Worlds is located here!
It is said to be the number one power in the Great Thousand Worlds, but in reality, not many people know about it. Only after reaching a certain level will one come into contact with this level.
Rather than describing the Great Palace as a force, it would be more accurate to describe it as an organization or an alliance.
The Great Thousand Palace only comes into view when faced with an invasion by an evil race from beyond the realm; in times of peace, it is merely a symbolic entity.
In ancient times, the Immortal Emperor, the strongest human being, founded the Great Thousand Palace. Almost all the Heavenly Sovereigns were invited to join the Great Thousand Palace.
In the event of an invasion by extraterrestrial evil forces, the Great Thousand Palace will gather all its powerful warriors to jointly defend against the enemy.
For nearly a thousand years, the evil races from beyond the realms have been stirring up trouble, constantly infiltrating the Great Thousand World and attacking the borders of various regions. As a result, the Great Thousand Palace once again entered the world.
Because the pressure is greatest on the western border, Daqian Palace has located its headquarters here to guard the western border.
However, those who are not strong enough or powerful enough to reach a certain level are unaware of these matters.
After all, without sufficient strength, even if they know, they cannot provide help and may even create unnecessary panic.
"Is this the Great Thousand Worlds of hundreds of years ago?"
Chu Yang looked around from a mountain peak, gazing at the somewhat desolate continent, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, and wisps of demonic energy mixed with spiritual power. If one's strength was insufficient or one's mental state was not good, one would probably be seriously affected within a day, or even suffer from demonic possession.
Therefore, the Demon Suppression Continent is almost completely isolated from the outside world, which is why some people know that a large number of powerful individuals have gathered here.
Chu Yang's gaze sharpened slightly. As far as he could see, he could see an ancient and magnificent city, and in front of the city, a huge stone tablet stood tall, piercing the sky.
The stone tablet was inscribed with densely packed large characters using spiritual power, shining brightly.
The three large characters at the top of the stone tablet read "Demon Extermination List"!
Next came rows of purple-gold names, each preceded by a different prefix.
From top to bottom, these prefixes represent Advanced Demon Slayer, Intermediate Demon Slayer, and Low-level Demon Slayer, respectively.
Turning his gaze away, Chu Yang looked in another direction, narrowing his eyes as he said, "Extraterrestrial evil race..."
Through Pangu, he was able to confirm that Sun Wukong was still alive and that his location was in the territory of the extraterrestrial evil race. However, he could not confirm whether Sun Wukong had become a demon.
Now that he had arrived in the Great Thousand World, he naturally wanted to go and see Sun Wukong.
This is also why he chose the Demon Suppression Continent as his target location for teleportation.
He hadn't expected that the headquarters of the Great Thousand Palace would be located on the western border of the Great Thousand Realm; this was a pleasant surprise.
Before entering the Great Thousand World, Chu Yang had already developed a preliminary plan for collecting faith power.
That is to ascend to the Demon Slayer Ranking through the Demon Slayer Order!
Those who can reach the level of the Great Thousand Palace and know about the Demon Extermination Ranking are mostly powerful figures in their own right. The power of faith that these people can provide will far exceed that of ordinary people.
The extraterrestrial evil race is the common enemy of all the powerful beings in the Great Thousand Worlds; it is no exaggeration to say that they have a blood feud with each other.
Therefore, as long as Chu Yang can reach the top of the Demon Slayer List, he will definitely be able to gain a lot of faith power!
Unless one can wipe out the evil race in one fell swoop, save a continent, or save a lower plane, this is undoubtedly the quickest and most effective method.
Besides this, there was another discovery that Chu Yang didn't expect.
That is the "heart" of the Origin Martial Dharma Body!
Since arriving on the Demon Suppression Continent, Chu Yang could constantly feel his heart beating joyfully within the chest cavity of his Origin Martial Avatar in the singularity.
The cause of this abnormal change in the heart was not the spiritual power in the Great Thousand Worlds, but the demonic energy that had escaped from the Demon Suppression Continent!
Chu Yang had a premonition that if this heart, transformed from the Holy Embryo, encountered pure demonic energy, it might produce some kind of chemical reaction.
Whether it's good or bad, you'll only know after you try it.
However, Chu Yang did not intend to enter the outer realm directly at the moment. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the mountain peak and took out two items.
Firstly, it is the origin of Emperor Yan.
Secondly, it is a gene reagent.
As he activated the Ascension Technique, the Four Sacred Spirits appeared, and Chu Yang merged the Emperor Flame Origin with the Phoenix Spirit.
It is worth mentioning that here, the spirit has been gathered and intelligence has been born.
It is clear that the reason why Xiao Yan waited until the last moment to hand over the Emperor Flame Origin to him was to help him gather spiritual energy.
Chu Yang needs a supreme treasure capable of gathering spiritual energy. Only Mu Tianyin knows this. He had asked Mu Tianyin about this before, but the final result was that, apart from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, only Di Yan had reached this level.
As for the Nine Profound Golden Thunder?
That was a complete accident, because the Nine Profound Golden Thunder was far inferior to the other two. Unless some kind of qualitative change had occurred, it would have been impossible for it to possess the foundation for gathering spiritual energy.
It's highly likely that she met Di Yan while helping Xiao Yan rebuild his physical body, and casually mentioned it, which Xiao Yan took to heart.
Chu Yang smiled. He had to admit that, in terms of character alone, Xiao Yan was indeed impeccable. However, their personalities were destined to be incompatible.
While letting the Phoenix True Spirit devour and refine the Emperor Flame, Chu Yang picked up the gene reagent, his face showing a thoughtful expression.
This gene reagent is a product he developed by combining void matter with the Devouring Spirit Clan bloodline replicated through Pangu's spiritual memories.
This gene reagent combines the advantages of both Void creatures and Devouring Spirits, maximizing the power of devouring and enhancing itself.
But the problem is...
Maximizing the absorption of other things would mean affecting oneself, and Chu Yang didn't want to become a creature that was neither human nor ghost.
This makes deciding who to use the gene reagent a difficult question… (End of Chapter)
