Sheng Fu

Chapter 1247 A Heartstring Twister

In the divine realm, deep within the golden palace.

A gentle golden glow caressed the sacred ground. The Divine Emperor sat regally on his throne, his mind focused and his spirit concentrated. The Primordial True Essence rippled outwards like fine waves on the surface of water, holy and pure.

The light dimmed, and the three-legged bird stood silently on the God Emperor's shoulder.

The three-legged bird said softly, "I have discovered that there is a slight ambiguity in the spatial order deep within the Qingming Great River. Without the help of the power of the origin, I would not be able to see through this ambiguity. I wanted to investigate further, but there is a Teng Snake guarding the depths of the Great River, so I dared not make any rash moves."

"The Demon Clan's Eternal Night Spy also conducted a thorough investigation of the Qingming Great River, and two Demon Clan national birds patrolled high in the sky, but they did not discover the slightest difference in the blur."

"As I was leaving, I unexpectedly sensed another Origin Chip. Just as I was about to give chase, it vanished in a flash. After searching unsuccessfully, I returned."

"The situation of the Qingming Great River is now complicated and requires Your Majesty's personal judgment."

The Divine Emperor's aura was deep and unfathomable, and a blazing light flashed in his eyes.

"Who do you think is the person who possesses the Origin Chip?" the God Emperor asked calmly.

The three-legged bird lowered its head slightly, its eyes solemn, and said, "The fact that the other party can sense my aura means that they are also in the Limitless Realm, but their killing power is below mine. If they were above mine, they would definitely attack me."

"Perhaps it was other ancient beings."

The God Emperor slowly rose and paced towards the outside of the dojo.

The human and demon races joined forces and went to the land of the spirit race to pay homage to the young ruler who ascended the throne. They also did their best to help the spirit race stabilize its internal affairs, and the alliance of the three races remained as solid as ever.

Meanwhile, the Demon King, stationed in the Iron Mang City, was in no hurry to continue his southward advance.

The once-raging flames of war seemed to have been extinguished in an instant.

The Qingming Great River has uncovered this information.

This situation may seem complicated, but to a great monarch, it was like a clumsy pantomime, and though clumsy, it was indeed a pantomime that unfolded.

"He has indeed awakened," the Divine Emperor said calmly.

The three-legged bird's heart sank, and its eyes showed fear as it asked, "Now that you've awakened, why are you still not moving?"

After the Demon Lord was seriously injured, all five races subconsciously believed that when the Demon Lord awoke, a large-scale war capable of destroying the world would break out.

Humans, demons, spirits, and gods—countless people silently prayed that the Demon Lord would fall into an eternal slumber and never awaken again.

However, the Demon Lord did not initiate a war after awakening.

Suddenly, the three-legged bird realized something.

"There are beings that are no weaker than the Demon Lord?" the three-legged bird asked in surprise and doubt.

The God Emperor remained calm; he did not feel dejected, but rather found it quite amusing.

After the Demon Lord fell into a deep sleep, the God Emperor naturally became the most powerful monarch. However, the God Emperor always knew in his heart that he was never the so-called number one in the world.

The title of number one, given away, is never the same as the title of number one, earned through fighting.

The God Emperor was very confident, and his eyes became increasingly vast and bright.

"I wonder how many people have reached the half-step of the Myriad Ends, and where exactly that missing half-step lies?" the Divine Emperor pondered.

The three-legged bird asked softly, "Should we continue exploring the Qingming Great River?"

The God Emperor shook his head and said, "No need. The Qingming Great River is a place of trouble. Let them fight like dogs for now, and there's no need to get involved."

"Secret realms are associated with famous mountains and rivers. After visiting the Qingming Great River, one will naturally visit other famous mountains and rivers."

"Tracing the traces of ancient beings is no longer of practical significance to us, but we can set traps during their search. Whoever you met in the Qingming Great River, since they went there, they will surely go to other famous mountains and rivers, whether it's Mount Jialuo or the Holy Spirit Mountains that connect the Divine Realm and the Demon Realm. They will conduct detailed and careful explorations." "We will split up. You will guard Mount Jialuo, and I will go to the Holy Spirit Mountains."

"They will come eventually."

The three-legged bird immediately understood.

Sometimes, the more complex the situation, the more necessary it is to employ the simplest tactics, such as waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

"And what about the Demon Lord?" the three-legged bird asked solemnly.

The Divine Emperor smiled knowingly and said, "There must be some ancient beings hidden in the shadows, but they vary in strength. The strongest of these ancient beings may be on par with the Demon Lord."

"The Demon Lord only cares about who the strongest is, and doesn't care about anything else."

"In the Demon Lord's eyes, that Vermilion Bird King is nothing more than a firebird."

"And we, on the other hand, are trying every means to seize a piece of the Origin chip."

"They all seem to be gathering intelligence, but in reality, their purposes are completely different, and they are each going their own way."

The three-legged bird suddenly realized that if it could not enter the Half-Step Myriad Realms, the God Emperor would lose his eligibility to compete.

Nowadays, whether it's the Human Emperor or the Demon Queen, they have both become spectators.

However, Yuwen Jun, this rising star, is full of uncertainties.

……

Human race, in the north, within the Lingyun Mountains.

The Purple Gold Alliance once hid its treasure here, making the Lingyun Mountains famous and naturally attracting many independent cultivators and adventurers, all hoping that with a bit of luck, they might encounter an opportunity within the Lingyun Mountains that could change the course of their lives.

This also made the Lingyun Mountains lively.

However, a small number of demonic beasts inhabit the depths of the mountains. The strength of those beasts is still unknown, but for rogue cultivators who want to try their luck in the Lingyun Mountains, it should be a considerable test.

On the mountain lawn, an unnamed old man, Hengyun, Langfeng, and Changle had a picnic, their postures casual.

Thinking that Yuwen Jun and the others had already explored the Demon Realm, there was little benefit for them to stay there. Then they thought that the Lingyun Mountain Range had been quite popular recently, so they decided to come and explore it carefully.

Suddenly, Chu Yu and the Primordial Spirit Cat appeared.

The four people were slightly surprised to see that they had been able to locate the target so accurately.

Even more unexpectedly, Chu Yu's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, reaching the peak of the Great Yellow Court. Such a large number of changes had occurred in just one or two days.

The fear on the face of the ancient spirit cat made the four of them feel even more uneasy. Could it be that Yuwen Jun had met with misfortune?

"Where is Yuwen Jun?" Hengyun asked directly.

Upon seeing the four people, the Primordial Spirit Cat felt much more at ease and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Don't worry about him, he's fine now."

“Our operation went smoothly and we gained a lot, but Chu Yu and I are relatively weak. It would be best if we joined forces so that we can support each other if anything happens.”

The four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yu bowed slightly to the group and said, "The situation is somewhat complicated, and the cause and effect are too great; there are some things I cannot explain clearly."

"Generally speaking, it's more likely that the eldest brother will enter Wanduan."

"But we still have to keep doing the hard and tiring work right now."
