Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1441 The Illusory Path Returns to Dust
Chen Chuan's gaze fell upon the dancing flames, and he could see that after Emperor Wen Guang was destroyed, there were more than a dozen items spinning inside.

Some of them emitted a faint glow, and even he sensed their extraordinary nature.

With a thought, he summoned all of these things to fly to his side.

Only after these things arrived did the persistent heat from the remnants on his body subside.

His gaze swept over these items, most of which were lost objects. One of them was particularly extraordinary, and there were one or two items whose purpose he couldn't immediately discern. However, he did not find the Celestial Man Diagram among them.

Now was not the time for careful examination, so it was placed directly into the storage capsule of the external implant, and then the head was turned to look at the other side.

At this moment, his avatar was fighting with Tengfei. When his gaze fell on her, he saw that he had just punched Tengfei, instantly blasting her figure into countless flying divine energy.

When Tengfei saw that Emperor Wenguang had died, she obviously had no interest in continuing the entanglement. Instead of reassembling her physical form, she suddenly dissipated into wisps of light smoke and flew away in all directions.

Each wisp of smoke represents her; if even one wisp escapes, she can successfully break free.

At this moment, a ray of light, like the sun, burst forth from the simulated body, instantly illuminating all the divine auras, whether bright or dark, and causing them all to slow down.

Almost simultaneously, another spiritual impact erupted from the simulacrum, first blasting away and annihilating most of the divine energy in front of it, then splitting outwards, transforming into beams of light that chased after the remaining divine energy, quickly destroying them one by one.

When only a wisp remained, he flicked his finger, drawing a wisp of Xuan Kong Fire from Chen Chuan that had not yet burned out. The firelight flashed and landed on it, instantly blazing fiercely, and from there it burned towards an unknown place in the heavens.

Three breaths had passed, and the simulated body slowly dissipated.

Chen Chuan stood still in the void, looking at the wisp of light extending upwards with his third eye between his eyebrows. He saw that after the Xuan Kong Fire entered the upper level, it disappeared after only a short while, and he was unable to trace it back to its source.

It's not hard to imagine that even if this snake woman isn't a reflection or incarnation of a higher power, she should still be under its protection.

His mind raced; it seemed that as the Great Collision approached, the number of these external things arriving was increasing.

The old imperial family is a huge loophole, and it is the right choice to eliminate it as soon as possible, otherwise there will definitely be problems later.

The moment he killed Emperor Wenguang, Ming Chengzi and the Dongxuan Temple fighters who were besieging the ancient gods also noticed it immediately.

While the two were fighting, Ming Chengzi was driving away the ghosts and monsters that had been born from the anomalies for Chen Chuan.

These ghosts were extremely annoying, impossible to drive away or kill completely, and it was hard to say whether there were other things hiding nearby. Therefore, he remained highly vigilant and frequently used various methods to try to prevent them from interfering with the battle situation in the rear.

Now that I have finally seen Emperor Wenguang die at the hands of Chen Chuan, I am overjoyed.

Although he was slightly disappointed that he hadn't been able to kill his enemy, he was ultimately able to avenge his great grudge, and felt extremely happy. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have loved to burst into laughter.

On the other side, the ancient gods were also completely outmatched.

Some of them are divine incarnations of ancient gods, some are wisps of energy from higher powers, and some have long since broken away and become independent. But no matter what kind they are, because of the existence of the World Ring, their power will not exceed the limit of the Dongxuan Temple.

Now they are facing several Dongxuanguan fighters, and they are even a coordinated team, which is beyond their ability to cope.

However, they had made a prior agreement with Emperor Wenguang that they would not be able to leave until he completed his ascension to immortality. They could only deal with the crowd, and within a short period of time, three of them were killed on the spot.

In other words, none of these fighters tried to steal their comrades' credit or joined other people's battle groups; otherwise, the battle would have ended even faster.

Upon witnessing Emperor Wenguang's execution, the remaining few seemed to find relief, no longer willing to linger, and immediately scattered and fled. Yet, even so, only one managed to escape.

It seemed to have some skill in escaping; in the blink of an eye, it flew into the void and disappeared in an instant.

Chen Chuan's expression shifted slightly at this moment, because he discovered that the auras emanating from two ancient deities seemed to match the requirements of the precious materials he needed to obtain the upper realm.

Although it wasn't very high, it was still somewhat useful to him.

After noticing this, he silently made a note of the two of them.

One is "Mo Chuanbo," and the other is "Gu Weijun." As long as these two still have independent incarnations in the world, once they are eliminated, similar rare materials can be found.

Seeing that the enemy forces in the field had been mostly eliminated, he looked up at the sky, where the chariot for welcoming immortals was still moving upwards.

This anomaly usually won't disappear unless the ultimate goal is achieved.

However, this anomaly was quite special, and it was mostly related to Emperor Wenguang. So at this moment, with the death of Emperor Wenguang, it can be seen that the carriage also seemed to have truly entered the void. No matter what the scattered jewels and flowers were, or the immortals and gods surrounding the carriage, they all slowly dissipated like a dream.

The void they were in was slowly dissolving, revealing holes appearing in the surrounding sky.

The sunlight from the merging land began to stream in, transforming into beams of light that crisscrossed from all directions and fell upon everyone present. After standing quietly for a while, the anomaly finally dissipated, and they returned to reality.

They were currently standing in front of Anye Palace.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for his next instructions.

The moment when Emperor Wenguang's divine image emerged was truly awe-inspiring to everyone.

After all, these extraterrestrial gods and demons were entwined with power from above, making them instinctively feel a serious threat.

However, they were killed in the blink of an eye. Their emotions fluctuated wildly in a very short time, but this greatly boosted their morale, making them bravely move forward and ruthlessly kill those ancient gods.

Ming Chengzi glanced at everyone; he was a man who had experienced war, and he was all too familiar with that kind of gaze.

That is the kind of heartfelt respect that only those who lead others to victory on the battlefield can earn.

Putting aside other matters, if they were to go to the battlefield again in the future, or if there were any matters involving common interests, these people would undoubtedly be staunch supporters of Chen Xuanji.

Moreover, the sheer number of Dongxuan Temples was enough to terrify him.

Looking at it this way, he became more and more convinced that his initial idea was correct.

After Chen Chuan and others confirmed that they had not suffered any losses in the battle, he used his spiritual sense to locate the palace below.

There wasn't any particularly strong field reaction there; you could say that apart from some alien species, there wasn't even a single person at the level of a fighter.

It seems they either all died in the previous battle, or they were captured along with the two groups of troops sent by Emperor Wenguang.

Furthermore, there were no special secrets or anomalies below.

There were a few places where spiritual power couldn't penetrate immediately, which seemed to be some important places, possibly hiding something. We need to go down and investigate.

He immediately sent a telepathic message, instructing everyone to strictly guard the palace and its surroundings to prevent any infectious substances from leaking out.

At the same time, they were asked to inspect the area around Youdu again, trying to preserve any valuable items so they wouldn't be destroyed.

Upon receiving his order, the group immediately split up, with most scattering to the surrounding areas, while a small number, including Mu Xiaoren and Ming Chengzi, followed him and slowly flew deeper into the palace grounds.

As they flew, the group looked around. This old palace was built by the Ding Dynasty on the foundation of the previous dynasty's palace, and it took a hundred years to expand it. It was magnificent and spectacular, but also extremely luxurious and splendid.

However, the rarest of all are the precious mutated plants here, all of which were collected from all over the world by the old imperial family and carefully cultivated.

Many of these items were passed down through several dynasties and were taken away by the old imperial family when they retreated to the land of integration; they were things that had only been seen in books and photographs.

Since there was no need to look at the main hall and offices in front, and any important items would not be placed there, Chen Chuan and the others went straight to the places where people were mentally isolated, and most of those places were in Yunmeng Garden.

Chen Chuan believes that the most dangerous creatures to watch out for are miniature mutated organisms, which can cause widespread damage and are almost impossible for ordinary people to resist.

Such events have occurred before. Old imperial families around the world have done similar things before and after retreating into the fusion zone. Even the formation of the Grand Alliance is related to such events.

Therefore, they must be extremely cautious.

Not long after, Chen Chuan landed in front of one of the palaces that appeared unusual.

This place is separated from the Changyi Pavilion in front by a lotus pond and is connected by a winding bridge. It can be said to be a place that the emperor often came to.

Chen Chuan glanced at it, and the thick, tall wooden door opened inwards by itself, releasing a unique fragrance.

He stepped inside, and his gaze swept around, revealing a library filled with scriptures, elixirs, and the like. Above it hung a calligraphy scroll that read "Famous Immortal."

Ming Chengzi followed him in. After glancing at it a few times, his expression suddenly changed. He walked to the side, picked up a scroll, flipped through it a couple of times, and said excitedly:
"These are the scriptures and mystical texts of my Fulong Sect. They weren't burned after all..." He glanced around a few more times, then picked up another book, "And here, and here are more..."

Chen Chuan then said, "Master Gao, I just got something from Emperor Wen Guang. Please take a look and see if it belongs to your Fulong Sect."
