Sheng Fu

Chapter 1189 Tributaries of Civilization
Yuxi Town, within a secret realm.

Above the abyss, on the mountain of the luminous soul.

Upon arriving at this place, Zhuque looked with great interest at the waves rising in the sea, surging slowly and endlessly.

In the distance, Mount Minghun stands proudly, like an eternal monument.

With Yuwen Jun's arrival, An He came alone to greet him. When he saw the majestic man beside Yuwen Jun, An He felt that the true energy in his body was about to be burned away.

Do not look directly into the eyes of someone of high status.

Faced with this overwhelming pressure from within, Anhe quickly kowtowed and said, "Welcome back, my lord."

The Seven Killings True Essence is extremely strong and yang, representing the ultimate in domineering power. It can be said to have a natural suppression effect on those who use yin and soft methods of soul manipulation.

Yuwen Jun glanced at Zhuque out of the corner of his eye and softly reminded her, "Senior, why don't you try to conceal your aura a little?"

Only then did Zhuque realize what was happening, and after he calmed his aura, Anhe felt a great sense of relief.

Even so, Anhe still dared not look directly at this mysterious and powerful figure who had suddenly arrived.

"Quickly prepare a banquet and head to the Minghun Palace," Yuwen Jun instructed An He in a gentle voice.

Anhe nodded emphatically and withdrew. Although he tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, Anhe's departing figure still looked like that of a deserter fleeing in panic.

Inside the Hall of Bright Souls.

Its radiance was both brilliant and gentle, possessing a slight air of majesty. However, once the Vermilion Bird took its seat here, all its majesty transformed into a fleeting, ethereal illusion.

The two sat around a table, and Yuwen Jun bowed to pour tea for his senior.

"May I ask how you should be addressed, senior?" Yuwen Jun asked softly.

“Yan Lie,” Zhu Que replied casually.

The teacup contains the finest Longquan spring water in the world. The tea mist rises and slowly spreads, and the fiery mood gradually calms down.

Previously, when confronting the God Emperor, Yan Lie was truly prepared for a fight to the death.

The Seven Killings True Essence is pure battle intent. When he encountered a powerful and worthy opponent, Yan Lie was naturally excited. If it weren't for another important matter, even if he had no grudge against the God Emperor, Yan Lie would still have fought the God Emperor to determine who was superior.

Yuwen Jun tentatively asked in a soft voice, "Senior, who do you wish to resurrect?"

Yan Lie did not rush to answer. Instead, he gazed at Yuwen Jun with great interest and said admiringly, "You are very lucky. You have actually mastered the Bright Soul Mountain and the Origin Chip. Perhaps you really have a chance to end this great era of conflict."

Yuwen Jun felt a heaviness in his heart; he had heard similar words many times before.

“But now you have become the biggest variable. I don’t know your position yet. I wonder if you would be willing to tell me the truth?” Yuwen Jun said, forcing himself to speak.

If a Vermilion Bird who wields the Seven Killings True Essence were to become involved in this great conflict, regardless of Yan Lie's stance, it would cause many unexpected variables and troubles.

For example, the God Emperor tonight suffered a great loss in silence.

"Forgive my bluntness, but with your strength, senior, I simply cannot believe that you do not harbor ambitions to unify the land," Yuwen Jun said, forcing himself to speak.

Yan Lie stared intently at Yuwen Jun and asked in return, "Is this your reason for doubting me?"

Yuwen Jun lowered his head slightly and said, "Perhaps I am shallow, but this speculation is the most reasonable."

Yan Lie laughed heartily and said, "That's true. If it were me, I would have the same doubts."

Yuwen Jun pretended to be calm in front of the Human Emperor and the Spirit Emperor because he wanted to stabilize the situation. Secondly, within the territory of Minghun Mountain, even if Yuwen Jun was no match for this Vermilion Bird King who suddenly descended to the world, he could at least maintain a situation of equal strength.

To say that Yuwen Jun wasn't guilty would be a lie.

What if this senior wants to take away the Bright Soul Mountain and also the Origin Chip?

These two treasures were coveted by both the Demon Lord and the God Emperor. At this moment, Yuwen Jun appeared calm, but in reality, he was standing on the edge of a precipice.

Yan Lie could easily see that Yuwen Jun was feigning composure. In fact, he also sensed that someone on the other side of the Abyss Sea was giving him a slight glance.

The Dragon Lord did not continue to pay attention to the Vermilion Bird King; after a glance, he returned to his nine-story palace.

This was because Yan Lie had no intention of killing.

“You don’t need to be nervous. I’ve been searching for Mount Minghun all these years, but I didn’t expect you to get it first. When I discovered that there were many Nether Serpents collecting corpses on the battlefield between the Spirit Race and the Demon Race, I realized that Mount Minghun had fallen into the hands of the Dragon Race.”

"I originally intended to come directly to find your master, but I unexpectedly discovered that you had cultivated the Chaos Emperor Qi and mastered the power of origin. At that time, I realized that you were the real person in charge of the Dragon Clan."

"Fortunately, I arrived at the right time, which indirectly helped you."

"I also have some understanding of the general trend of the world in this era."

"I have no interest in the great war. The ancient wars of the past claimed the lives of too many great beings, and in the end, we gained nothing."

Yan Lie's eyes flashed with regret and bewilderment.

That era was truly magnificent, but in the end, it was nothing more than a desolate wasteland.

But Yuwen Jun was no longer calm at this moment.

With a look of surprise and uncertainty, he asked, "So, even if we gather all five Origin Chips, it will be difficult to enter the Myriad Realms, or to reshape our destiny and find the legendary Origin Land?"

If that's the case, then Yuwen Jun's long-standing forbearance and perseverance have become a joke.

Yan Lie chuckled and said, "I don't know the specifics either."

"However, you should also realize one thing: that cat once possessed an Origin Chip, but it almost died. Without the support of pure innate true essence, whoever possesses an Origin Chip will gradually become nourishment for the Origin Chip until death."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Spirit Cat instantly appeared on the table.

"Is there an uncertain historical gap here?" the Ancient Spirit Cat asked in surprise.

According to the initial speculation, whoever could collect five Origin Chips would be confident of entering the Myriad Realms.

Zhuque grinned and said, "If there really were a bright and correct answer to cultivation, then people would have already entered the realm of myriad realms."

At this moment, Yuwen Jun felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The war was not over yet, and a new fog of uncertainty descended upon us once more.

Yuwen Jun was stunned and asked cautiously, "May I ask, senior, does Wanduan truly exist?"

This time, Yan Lie said with absolute certainty, "It exists!"

Yuwen Jun couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth, lost in thought.

Yan Lie chuckled and said, "Your cultivation is so shallow, and your experience is even more insignificant. How could a young man like you possibly comprehend the answers that even the sages of all ages have failed to arrive at?"

"But I think there is hope in you."

"So, I want to take a gamble on you."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to win this great struggle."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Spirit Cat's fur bristled, and its azure eyes were filled with terror.

"Could it be that there are even more powerful ancient beings that have not yet been born?" the Ancient Spirit Cat asked guiltily.

Yan Lie sighed softly, "Civilization is a long river, and naturally there will be many inconspicuous tributaries."
