Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

A golden-winged roc carrying a young man flew through the sky at great speed, and a golden light instantly descended upon the mountaintop.

Puff puff!

A red-crowned crane, several meters in size, was carrying a man and a woman as they vigorously flapped their wings in the air.

It's like an arrow, whoosh, it disappears in an instant.

A gigantic ancient beast, hundreds of meters tall, caused the earth to tremble with every step it took. The rumbling sound made the mountains throb, as if an earthquake were about to strike.

When Big Black saw this, its eyes widened in disbelief. Good heavens, this was the first time it had ever seen such a large ancient beast.

"Lord of Heaven and Earth, it's been a long time. I heard you married a wife from beyond the realm. When will you bring her out to meet us?" On the mountaintop, a young man wearing a crown smiled.

Sitting opposite him was Qianlong.

Qianlong smiled wryly, drank a cup of divine wine, and complained, "That tigress is very fierce. She comes at me with a knife whenever we argue, and I can't beat her in a fight."

"Fortunately, she has a daughter, so she has become more restrained."

Many of the prodigies were speechless, and even the young man wearing a crown fell silent.

Damn, you can show off like this?

"Didn't you live in the Eternal Starfield? Why are you thinking of coming back to Beidou to inherit the Qiankun Holy Land?" someone asked curiously.

Qianlong smiled, his once spirited face now bearing the marks of time, his eyes becoming deep and profound, and said with a smile, "This is ultimately my hometown."

Xu Changqing's arrival went unnoticed. Dahei went off to play by itself, occasionally running off to chat with some of the larger lions.

"Why haven't I seen you on the Imperial Road?" Tian Youqing asked, sitting on the stool.

"He asked, 'Son,'"

This is a long table laden with various delicious dishes. As the host, the Buddhist monk naturally sits among the guests, watching them chat with a smile on his lips.

This was perhaps the most relaxed gathering ever, with no backstabbing or intrigue, just recounting experiences at Dilu and chatting about funny stories from back then.

"I went to the Imperial Road, but I didn't show up because I knew that even if I competed there, I couldn't beat those two," Qianlong said without any embarrassment.

Many people nodded in agreement. Indeed, if they were to compete on the path to becoming emperors, they would truly be no match for those powerful figures from all the realms.

"Mysterious Lord, why hasn't Xu An shown up?" An emperor of a divine dynasty asked, looking at the stunningly beautiful woman opposite him.

Lin Siyu was wearing a yellow dress today, her beautiful hair was tied up, and her bangs were swaying in the wind. Her delicate face was pale. She smiled awkwardly and said, "An'er has her own things to do."

"Indeed, after all, he is the son-in-law of the gods, and his strength is already unfathomable. He is truly a promising young man," someone remarked.

But such sentiments only made Lin Siyu more embarrassed.

Xu Changqing glanced at Lin Siyu with a somewhat indifferent look, but did not make a move. He simply sat quietly on the stool, drinking wine and eating meat.

There are many people like him, but not everyone is chatting, eating, or drinking.

Just listening to those people chat was already quite enjoyable.

"It's a pity, really. Wuqing died, and Tuntian disappeared without a trace. The two of them became quasi-emperors over four hundred years, ranking among the strongest in the heavens."

"Unfortunately, the waters of the heavens are too deep. I never expected that the Holy Spirit Clan would have an emperor, and even the Overlord Clan has one."

Some people remarked on this point.

Everyone fell silent. If only the two of them were still here, how wonderful that would be.

Throughout the entire Imperial Road, no one could rival the two of them; the younger generation could hardly even catch a glimpse of their backs.

They are over four hundred or five hundred years old and still at the Saint King level, but those two were already quasi-emperors back then.

"However, there is a recent piece of news that Devourer has reappeared and killed three Quasi-Emperors with Overlord Physique. I don't know if this news is true or false."

"It is certain that the Holy Spirit powerhouse has been searching for Devouring Heaven, and there is even an evil god wielding an Emperor-level weapon to hunt him down."

All the young supreme beings present were amazed. Devouring Heaven was truly fast, and they didn't know what method she used. Even a supreme being with a domineering body would have a hard time finding her.

"Do you remember the heavenly tribulation from deep space a while ago? That terrifying heavenly tribulation was no exaggeration to say that it was a tribulation that led to the attainment of the Emperor level. Perhaps its owner was already a powerful being who had achieved enlightenment in another way."

"On the contrary, I believe that it was a heavenly tribulation triggered by the Devouring Heaven."

Xu Changqing listened quietly to the discussion, glancing at Dahei every now and then.

But they discovered that Big Black had taken a sip of the divine wine and was befriending a brown bear, which was a Buddhist mount. There was also a golden lion nearby, which joined in Big Black's conversation.

Although Dahei had just opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the demons did not look down on him. Instead, they chatted with him as a partner.

Big Black is a worldly person.

Chapter 108 Traveling Through the Heavens with Big Black

The weather was clear and the Buddha's light shone brightly. The many prodigies stopped talking about their unhappy things and started discussing their own trivial matters.

Drinking and eating meat, Xu Changqing remained silent throughout, occasionally glancing at the drunken Dahei.

To his surprise, Big Black actually took out a deck of cards and started playing with the Golden Lion, the Golden-Winged Roc, and the Brown Bear.

This has left many people baffled; how can there be so many cows?

It can also do things that are only for ordinary people.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Changqing prepared to leave. This trip was merely to visit his former rival.

Qianlong started a family, and some of the divine sons from that time inherited the dynasty and became emperors.

Tian Youqing retired from the cultivation world and lived alone in the deep mountains, avoiding the mortal world.

"I've heard that someone on the Emperor's Road is also preparing to organize a grand event, which will surely attract all the young powerhouses from across the heavens."

"Someone has obtained the Dao Source of the second level of the human race and wants to invite the young supreme being to have tea and discuss the Dao."

"I don't know when the Imperial Road will close. The Ultimate Imperial Pass hasn't even been opened yet. It may take several thousand years before it can be opened."

Each opening of the Ultimate Imperial Gate signifies the arrival of the final battle. Who will become Emperor depends on their performance within the Ultimate Imperial Gate.

The Imperial Pass has nine levels; some say that each level represents a different realm.

When he passes the ninth level, he will be invincible in the world, stand in the heavens, undergo tribulation to become an emperor, and then the emperor's bell will ring.

After Xu Changqing had learned more about the situation, he stood up, raised his glass, and the conversation immediately stopped as everyone looked at him.

"Gentlemen, I have something to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer. I'll drink this cup first as a sign of respect, please enjoy your meal."

"Speak," Xu Changqing said boldly, picking up the wine glass on the table and downing it in one gulp.

If he leaves quietly, he will definitely be called down and questioned, and may even be dragged out for a while to have a little sparring session.

It would be better to just say openly that you have something to do.

"This fellow Daoist's cultivation is not weak. He has already reached the fifth level of the Saint King realm. Logically speaking, he should be a Saint Lord level expert. How come I have never heard of him?" someone asked in confusion, but still raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

“Oh, reputation isn’t important. Cultivation is about strengthening oneself, not about cultivating for fame,” Xu Changqing said, waving his hand as he left the table and walked toward Dahei.

“This fellow Daoist sees things clearly. Indeed, great fame can bring trouble.” Many young supreme beings nodded in agreement, finding it reasonable.

"This fellow Daoist is in such a hurry to leave; we haven't even had a proper discussion yet," Qianlong asked with a smile.

Although this person looked like a farmer, his cultivation was not weak, and they had not heard any rumors about him, which made them curious.

"There was no other way. My wife wouldn't let me out, so I had to sneak out. After all, she just gave birth, and I couldn't let her get angry." Xu Changqing said with an awkward smile.

Then he pulled up Big Black, who was playing cards and drinking, and left Mount Sumeru without looking back, holding the blue rope by his hand.

Tian Youqing's starry eyes were fixed on Xu Changqing's back.

At that moment, she was certain: this wasn't the one.

That person's personality is not like that.

No one stopped Xu Changqing, since one less person wouldn't make much difference to the grand event, as they were all strangers.

Once we part ways, we don't know if we'll ever meet again in this life.

Big Black swayed as he walked up Mount Sumeru, looking back at his three older brothers with some reluctance. He called out, "Brothers, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you for a drink when I have time."

The golden lion lay on a tree, rubbing its round belly with its two paws, and waved to Big Black, saying, "Brother Big Black, bring some new things next time."

"Don't worry, Brother Big Black, we won't look down on you." The brown bear chuckled, holding a wine jug in his hands.

Although the demon race reveres the strong, these creatures are merely gatekeepers of the Buddhist sect, and their mentality has long been worn down.

In this lifetime, it's better to find a kindred spirit.

Unfortunately, Big Black's personality was quite suitable for the three brothers.

"cracking!"

The Golden-Winged Roc cried out, its golden eyes watching the departing Big Black, and said, "Brother Big Black, remember to come visit us often when you have time. I'm tired of eating vegetarian food with a bunch of bald monks on Mount Sumeru."

"Thank goodness it's a big event today, giving us drinks, otherwise flying around every day would be so boring."

"Okay, okay, Brother Dapeng, I'll bring you spicy strips next time." Dahei was very happy; it now had a friend from the demon race.

As for spicy strips, they are naturally made from snakes.

On Ximo, Dahei's entire body was overflowing with spiritual energy from every pore. He was completely drunk and could barely walk straight.

This time, it ate its fill and had never tasted such delicious food before. However, the wine was far inferior to the wine given by the master.

The wine that Xu Changqing gave Dahei was so strong that it lost its senses after just one sip. The wine that Dahei had just obtained from Mount Sumeru was a fruit wine, which was just right for it.

Big Black trembled as it looked at the white gourd hanging from Xu Changqing's waist. It had witnessed the power of this wine not long ago.

The mere smell of it made it instantly faint, and it slept for an unknown amount of time, remaining in a drunken state the whole time.

If Xu Changqing hadn't helped Dahei sober up, he probably would have been drunk for hundreds of years.

"Master, where are we going next?" Big Black was breathing heavily, his eyelids were drooping, he was walking unsteadily, and his limbs were not very coordinated.

"I'll show you the scenery of the heavens," Xu Changqing said calmly, taking a step while holding the blue rope, and instantly disappearing from Mount Sumeru.

"brush!"

Big Black was momentarily dazed. When it came to its senses, it found itself surrounded by darkness, with a huge, five-colored sphere beneath its feet.

The blinding five-colored divine light made even the big black bull unable to open its eyes, and large tears streamed down its face.

It was a little confused. Where was it?

"brush!"
