The First Marquis of Daxuan

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in them.

Feeling the power within his body, he was somewhat surprised.

This Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture is indeed stronger than the Supreme Immortal Body Scripture.

He just used the points on the system panel to upgrade the Supreme Immortal Body Scripture to the perfect state.

Although his cultivation level has also improved somewhat.

However, he still failed to break through to the perfect realm of the Primordial Beginning.

When he was upgrading the Chaos Origin Scripture, he easily crossed that threshold.

With the support of a massive amount of points, he cultivated the Chaos Origin Scripture to perfection.

At the same time, his cultivation level also reached the perfect state of the Primordial Realm.

Further on, he felt he had encountered a barrier.

He had a feeling that his cultivation had reached the peak of the Primordial Realm, and the system panel had reached its limit.

If he wants to become even stronger, the system panel can no longer help him.

He needs to rely on his own strength to break through the barrier in front of him.

He didn't know what scenery lay behind that barrier, but he figured it must be the realm where the true Yin Tianjun resided.

Su Mu thought to himself.

He also understood why Zhang Jiao had become the leader of Huang Tiandao.

The strongest cultivation techniques these celestial beings obtained from the Heavenly Realm back then should be the Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture cultivated by Zhang Jiao and the Primordial Creation Immortal Scripture cultivated by the Heavenly Emperor.

Other cultivation techniques, such as the Supreme Immortal Body Scripture, are also very powerful, but ultimately they are a level below.

Of course, this is also related to everyone's talent.

Even if the cultivation technique is a little inferior, reaching the high level of the Primordial Realm is still not a problem.

In fact, Xia Zhizun and the others had not even reached the high-level of the Primordial Realm.

What limits them is not only their martial arts techniques, but also their own talent.

"Pity."

Su Mu's gaze swept over Huang Tiandao and the other leaders of the Heavenly Gang.

These people also possess many martial arts techniques.

Unfortunately, these techniques could no longer improve his cultivation level.

Su Mu's cultivation has already reached the perfect state of the Primordial Realm. Cultivating more techniques would only broaden his horizons, but would not actually help his strength much.

Once you reach this level of cultivation, having many different skills and knowledge is actually of little use.

Their strength has reached the origin of the universe, and ordinary martial arts can hardly harm them.

They can also directly comprehend general martial arts techniques by analogy.

In other words, even if Su Mu learned all the techniques from Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Gang leader, it wouldn't help him break through to the Primordial Realm.

His strength might improve slightly, but that improvement would be negligible compared to the effort required to cultivate these techniques.

Of course, that's from other people's perspectives.

For Su Mu, it was just a matter of consuming some points.

Realizing that the system panel could no longer help him break through to a realm beyond the Primordial Realm, Su Mu no longer cared so much about the points on the system panel.

Of course, Su Mu would also welcome any opportunity to practice more techniques.

"Zhang Jiao, this Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture is quite interesting."

Su Mu slowly began to speak, “I see you’re stuck at the high level of the Primordial Realm. Let me tell you about the techniques for breaking through.”

Without waiting for Zhang Jiao's reply, he began to speak.

Although Huang Tiandao and the other leaders of the Heavenly Gang did not cultivate the Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture, what Su Mu said touched upon the fundamentals of martial arts, and they all benefited greatly from listening to it.

Of course, Zhang Jiao was the biggest beneficiary.

Zhang Jiao was completely convinced.

In less than an hour, he had mastered the Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture.

Not only have they mastered the skill, but they can also explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

If anyone dares to say that Su Mu is not Yin Tianjun, Zhang Jiao will slap them across the face.

If this isn't Yin Tianjun, then who else could it be?
Besides Yin Tianjun, who else in the world has this ability?
"Your Majesty, the cultivation technique I practice is the Gengjin Hunyuan Immortal Scripture. Please give me some guidance."

"I cultivate the Three Caverns Immortal Scripture, please, Heavenly Lord..."

As soon as Su Mu finished explaining the Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture, Huang Tiandao and his group of Heavenly Gang leaders surrounded him, shoving their cultivation techniques into Su Mu's hands.

Undeterred, Su Mu accepted all the cultivation techniques.

Then, in front of everyone, he began to practice these techniques.

The celestial warship sped towards the celestial realm.

On the warship, however, it became the place where Su Mu preached.

Every time Su Mu mastered a new skill, Huang Tiandao and the others admired him even more.

When the Heavenly Rank warship arrived at the entrance to the Heavenly Realm, Su Mu was already considered a god-like figure in the hearts of the Huang Tiandao people.

The warship stopped at the entrance to the celestial realm.

Zhang Jiao took the lead and flew towards the celestial realm.

"Heavenly Emperor, I, Zhang Jiao, have returned!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come out and face your death!"

With Su Mu, the Yin Tian Jun, in charge, Zhang Jiao was full of confidence.

In such a short time, he believed that the Heavenly Emperor had definitely not yet inherited Yang Tianjun's power.

As long as the Heavenly Emperor doesn't become the new Yang Heavenly Lord, Zhang Jiao believes that the Heavenly Emperor is definitely no match for the Yin Heavenly Lord, Su Mu.

The last time I came to the Heavenly Realm.

Su Mu was being chased by Huang Tiandao and fled in a sorry state.

Moreover, he was arrested by the warden and taken to prison as soon as he entered the door.

This time, Huang Tiandao's men surrounded him like bodyguards.

The group marched into the Heavenly Realm in a grand procession.

Those powerful individuals whom Su Mu rescued from the Heavenly Prison are now following Su Mu's side.

Their expressions were incredibly complex.

Returning to their familiar surroundings, they were no longer prisoners.

Today they will settle their scores and avenge their wrongs.

They want to overthrow the Heavenly Emperor!
The group barged into the celestial realm, and to everyone's surprise, no celestial beings came out to stop them.

The leaders of Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Gang exchanged glances.

Xia Zhizun came to Su Mu's side and whispered, "Heavenly Lord, there are still more than a hundred Heavenly Beings in the Heavenly Rank. They are all subordinates of the Heavenly Emperor and their strength is extraordinary."

We were no match for them before.

Logically, they should have come out to stop us when we barged in.

"Why don't we go in and take a look?"

Su Mu said, "Let's go to Lingxiao Palace."

While remaining vigilant about their surroundings, the group followed Su Mu forward.

Zhang Jiao, who was at the forefront, had already flown to the front of the Lingxiao Palace.

He fell from the sky, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

Because he saw that all the celestial beings in the heavenly realm were gathered in front of the Lingxiao Palace, and they had actually surrounded the Heavenly Emperor in the center.

Judging from their appearance, they are actually challenging the Heavenly Emperor!

Upon seeing Zhang Jiao arrive, the celestial beings glanced at him but did not attack him as they had done before. Instead, they ignored him as if they had not seen him at all.

"Heavenly Emperor, if you don't give us an explanation, don't blame us for not showing any mercy!"

A celestial being stared at the Heavenly Emperor and coldly shouted.

"I've helped you for so many years, and all I get in return is this betrayal and discarding of you after you've served your purpose?"

Another celestial being, his face filled with murderous intent, roared, "We all risked our lives for you, and you actually turned against us? Are you even human?!"

"Those who achieve great things are bound to make sacrifices."

The Heavenly Emperor was surrounded by the crowd, but his expression showed no sign of panic.

"When I become a Heavenly Emperor, you will all be immortal and indestructible with me."

What are your grievances?

His gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes cold, as if he were looking at a group of ants.

In his view, his willingness to lead everyone toward immortality was the greatest gift he could bestow upon them.

Instead of being grateful, the crowd attacked him, which shows their lack of appreciation.

“I’m giving you a chance. If you back off now, I can pretend none of this ever happened.”

The Heavenly Emperor said coldly.

"Heavenly Emperor, you are far too arrogant."

One of the celestial beings angrily said, "Are the lives of a few brothers so insignificant in your mouth?"

We've supported you for so many years, and in your words, it's become a favor you've done for us?

"Stop wasting your breath on him, let's work together and snatch Yang Tianjun's body!"

Without Yang Tianjun's corpse, what right does he have to act so arrogantly?

One of the celestial beings, with an impatient nature, roared angrily.

Before he finished speaking, he had already lunged at the Heavenly Emperor.

"act recklessly!"

The Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly and raised his hand to strike out with a palm.

boom!
A hand appeared out of thin air in front of the man's chest. Before the man could even react, his body was sent flying backward.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood while he was still in the air.

"I was the one who brought you to the Heavenly Realm, and I was the one who gave you the opportunity to bathe in the blood of the Yang Heavenly Lord."

The cultivation techniques you practice were given to you by me.

What makes you think you can fight me?

The Heavenly Emperor said expressionlessly, "You—"

The celestial being who had made the move landed on the ground, kneeling on one knee, and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

"There's something wrong with the cultivation technique we're practicing!"

At this point, how could he not understand what was going on?

Although the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation was high, he was not weak.

Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for the Heavenly Emperor to severely injure him in one move.

The Heavenly Emperor's move just now was clearly aimed at the weakness in his technique.

Even he himself was unaware that his technique had this flaw.

This can only mean one thing: there was something wrong with the cultivation method they practiced back then!

Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Emperor had already laid the groundwork!
The Heavenly Emperor had already prepared a way to deal with them!

All the celestial beings in the Heavenly Realm changed their expressions drastically, and they all subconsciously took a step back, distancing themselves from the Heavenly Emperor.

They foresaw this day thousands of years ago; what cunning they were!

The Heavenly Emperor knew the flaws in their techniques, so how could they possibly fight back?
Even Zhang Jiao's expression changed drastically.

The Chaos Origin Immortal Scripture he cultivated also came from the Heavenly Emperor.

Back then, the Heavenly Emperor was the first to find the Heavenly Scripture Pavilion and then took out those cultivation techniques.

Back then, they were somewhat moved that the Heavenly Emperor shared his cultivation techniques with them.

Looking back now, none of them actually witnessed the process of the Heavenly Emperor obtaining the cultivation method from the Sutra Repository.

It was all just what the Heavenly Emperor himself said.

They were given the cultivation techniques back then, and they didn't encounter any problems during their practice, so no one doubted the Heavenly Emperor's actions back then.

Only now have they finally realized what was happening.

These techniques may not have originated from the library at all.

Even the celestial library might have been tampered with by the Heavenly Emperor!
All the celestial beings trembled with rage.

But even if they understand now, it's useless.

They have practiced these techniques for so many years that they have long been ingrained in their very bones.

Now, even if we wanted to change our cultivation method, we couldn't.

In other words, if the Heavenly Emperor wanted to kill them now, they would be completely powerless to fight back.

"Heavenly Emperor, how cruel you are!"

One of the celestial beings gritted his teeth and said, "Is that why you were able to kill those brothers?"

No wonder we didn't notice anything; you've been treating us like expendable resources all along!

Previously, the Heavenly Emperor had killed several celestial beings and used their essence to dissolve the power protecting Yang Tianjun's corpse. All the celestial beings in the Heavenly Realm did not hear the slightest movement.

Looking back now, it was the Heavenly Emperor who used the weaknesses in the techniques he had mastered to launch a sneak attack on those celestial beings.

Otherwise, even with the Heavenly Emperor's power, it would have been impossible to kill those celestial beings silently.

We are all celestial beings, and none of us are weak.

Zhang Jiao retreated without making a sound.

He was terrified.

For so many years, he always thought he was a master strategist, but he never expected that compared to the Heavenly Emperor, he was just a naive newbie!

He thought he had victory in his grasp, but little did he know that the Heavenly Emperor had already laid out his plan thousands of years ago!

Zhang Jiao caught a glimpse of Su Mu arriving with his men out of the corner of his eye, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fate spared me.

If he hadn't encountered Yin Tianjun, he would have truly been doomed.

Faced with such a cunning and scheming Heavenly Emperor, he had absolutely no chance of turning the tables.

Oh, Heavenly Emperor, no matter how far-sighted you are, you could never have imagined that I would encounter the Underworld Lord.

With the Yin Tian Jun around, what can you do?

Zhang Jiao quickly retreated to Su Mu's side and whispered the whole story to Su Mu.

Zhang Jiao has now placed all his bets on Su Mu.

He knew he had already left the table.

Now only Su Mu and the Heavenly Emperor are on the table.

The celestial beings in the heavens hesitated to advance, and the Heavenly Emperor did not take the initiative to act.

His gaze followed Zhang Jiao and landed on Su Mu.

In an instant, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes flashed with a sharp light, shooting out more than a foot long, almost tangible.

"You're the one who killed the warden, aren't you?"

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Su Mu and slowly spoke.

"You are the first person to kill my people in my heavenly realm and still leave alive."

"Bullshit, Heavenly Emperor, are you blind? Can't you see me, your grandpa?"
Didn't we leave alive back then too?

Xia Zhizun shouted loudly.

If he were facing the Heavenly Emperor himself, he certainly wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

But now standing beside him is Yin Tianjun, a minor Heavenly Emperor, who is nothing more than a token offering.

Even if he can't defeat the Heavenly Emperor, can't he at least vent his frustration by cursing him a bit?
"If I hadn't let you off the hook, do you think you could have left the Heavenly Realm?"

The Heavenly Emperor said disdainfully.

Zhang Jiao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

Having just learned that the cultivation method given to them by the Heavenly Emperor was problematic, he had already suspected that there was something fishy about what happened back then.

Now the Heavenly Emperor himself has admitted that they were able to escape the Heavenly Realm back then because the Heavenly Emperor had indeed let them off the hook.

Zhang Jiao's heart suddenly sank. The cultivation techniques given to them by the Heavenly Emperor were problematic, and now Su Mu was also practicing those techniques.

Will there be any problems?
Zhang Jiao couldn't help but look at Su Mu, asking with his eyes.

Su Mu paid attention to Zhang Jiao's question, but his attention was focused on the Heavenly Emperor.

The last time he came to the Heavenly Realm, he killed the warden and left secretly, without directly confronting the Heavenly Emperor.

However, after entering the cathode point, he did sense a powerful aura chasing after him outside the cathode point.

That aura must belong to the Heavenly Emperor before us.

The Heavenly Emperor looked to be only in his thirties or forties. He wasn't exactly handsome, but he exuded an indescribable majesty.

He simply sat there in the Lingxiao Palace, and naturally exuded an aura of supreme authority.

Those celestial beings from the heavens and the leaders of the Heavenly Gang of the Yellow Heavenly Path all felt ashamed in his presence.

Su Mu looked at the other person and secretly admired him.

The Heavenly Emperor's cultivation was unfathomable. Even now, when he looked at the Heavenly Emperor, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

This was the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered in his life.

However, Su Mu could also sense that the Heavenly Emperor had not broken through to the Primordial Realm.

The Heavenly Emperor probably hasn't had time to inherit Yang Tianjun's power yet.

The appearance of Yang Tianjun's corpse caused a great commotion, and the celestial beings of the heavens immediately came to the Heavenly Emperor to demand an explanation.

Then they rushed over.

The Heavenly Emperor indeed could not find an opportunity to refine Yang Tianjun's corpse.

Even without the protection of power, Yang Tianjun's corpse is not so easy to refine.

"The Heavenly Emperor."

Su Mu slowly said, "I have no grudges against you, and I don't want to make things difficult for you."

But it's probably not appropriate for you to monopolize Yang Tianjun's power.

Over the years, these celestial beings, and Huang Tiandao's brothers, have all paid a heavy price. It's unreasonable for you to take all the benefits in the end.

"If you want to interfere in my affairs, state your name first."

The Heavenly Emperor smiled coldly, speaking with a hint of disdain.

“Su Mu, they also call me Lord Yin Tian.”

Su Mu said calmly.

"The Yin Heavenly Lord? Haha!"

The Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily, “Zhang Jiao, after all these years, you still haven’t made any progress!”

Still so easily fooled!

You believed someone just because they said they were the Yin Tian Jun (Lord of the Underworld)?

Zhang Jiao's face was grim.

He is the great leader of the Yellow Heaven Path, a powerful figure who traverses the universe.

How come it sounds so terrible in your mouth, Heavenly Emperor?
"Heavenly Emperor, don't think you're the only smart person in this universe."

Zhang Jiao said coldly, "Whether Su Mu is the Yin Tianjun or not, I know better than you!"

"You know nothing."

The Heavenly Emperor said disdainfully, "He can be anyone, but he can never be Yin Tianjun."

Kid, you can fool the world, but you can't fool me.

"You think you can fool me with the name of the Underworld Lord? You're still too green."

"Since you're all here today, that's perfect, it saves me the trouble."

The Heavenly Emperor looked around and said coldly, "Now you have two paths before you."

First, submit to me, and after my breakthrough, I will grant you immortality and let you enjoy this new universe with me.

Second, I killed you all with my own hands.

Let me remind you, if you die by my hand, your mark on the river of time will be completely erased, and you will cease to exist in this world.

Even if someone traveled back in time, they could not bring you back to life.

"To die by my hand is true death; all of you, past and present, will die."

The Heavenly Emperor's tone was filled with unparalleled confidence, and his eyes grew increasingly sharp.

"So tell me now, do you choose the path of life or the path of death?" (End of Chapter)
