Sheng Fu

Chapter 1266 Receiving Support Again
Unwittingly, a faint flame flickered in front of Yuwen Jun.

"I didn't expect you to find your way here." A familiar voice rang in Yuwen Jun's ears.

After he finished speaking, the world turned upside down.

The habitat of the Vermilion Bird clan.

The mountains and rivers are not vast, their territory is roughly equivalent to the Great Spring State in the north of the human race, but the spiritual energy is rich, and auspicious light often rises from the central area.

The rivers are clear, and the mountains and fields are covered with spiritual plants, creating a picturesque landscape. The red sun hangs high in the sky, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

Inside an ancient, dark red palace.

Everyone sat around a table, with Yan Lie in the center.

Hengyun curiously looked around. The layout seemed exquisite, but in reality, the wild and primitive aura of the ancient times permeated the surrounding area.

"I have disappointed you, senior, as I have failed to win this great contest," Yuwen Jun said bluntly.

Two beautiful maids dressed in fiery red dresses placed tea and snacks on the table and then gracefully departed.

Jing Peiyao glanced at the beautiful maid subconsciously. She saw that the maid's cultivation was at the Breakthrough Realm, her foundation was profound, and her true essence was deep and restrained. Given time to grow, she would surely become a powerful figure.

However, after a general sense, Jing Peiyao realized that the Vermilion Bird Clan's foundation was not as strong as that of the Dragon Clan. The Dragon Clan could gather at least a hundred young talents, while the Vermilion Bird Clan could only gather a maximum of thirty to fifty people.

Unfortunately, although this place is suitable for cultivation, its territory is not vast and its resources are limited, making it difficult to sustain for long. Furthermore, the stronger a being's bloodline power, the greater its consumption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Upon their first meeting with Yan Lie, the four members of the Taoist Xuanzong sect appeared somewhat reserved. The Seven Killings True Essence was known for its brutal and ruthless nature, and although Yan Lie's aura was restrained, the invisible aura he exuded would still create a natural sense of pressure for those who were unfamiliar with him.

Yan Lie did not respond to Yuwen Jun immediately, but instead glanced at Jing Peiyao with interest, as well as the unsheathed Ziwei Holy Sword at Jing Peiyao's waist.

With a smile, she said, "Indeed, there is a wonderful synergy between Seven Killings and Purple Star. You are the first woman in all of history to cultivate the flawless Purple Star True Essence."

Jing Peiyao's expression tightened slightly, and she replied humbly, "Without the help of your Seven Killings Scripture, I'm afraid I would still be searching alone, or I might even have gone astray."

"I will always remember your great kindness and virtue."

Yan Lie waved his hand and smiled, "It's not really about gratitude. This is just a deal between your husband and me. Besides, I'm happy to see one or two more variables in this era."

The Empress's successor felt a slight stirring in her heart and bowed her head in response, "Indeed, Senior's vision is magnificent."

Yan Lie then looked at Yuwen Jun and changed the subject, saying, "In human terms, you've really married a good wife."

Yuwen Jun smiled demurely and said, "It is truly due to fate."

At this moment, Yuwen Jun was not very confident; he had failed Yan Lie's expectations of him.

Of course, if the Demon Lord remains unable to awaken, Yuwen Jun could potentially win this great battle if he deploys his troops effectively. However, as things stand, Yuwen Jun naturally lacks the courage to engage in direct combat.

Moreover, Yuwen Jun's biggest worry right now is either the God Emperor or the Demon Lord; he'll start by targeting them...

Seeing that Yuwen Jun was in a somewhat embarrassed state of mind, Yan Lie said leisurely, "You have already exceeded my expectations to get to this point. If it were a one-on-one fight, I would no longer be your match."

"Your inner energy is vast and righteous; you must have already met Guichen?"

Yuwen Jun nodded and said, "I don't know what virtue or ability I have that makes Senior Guichen value me so highly."

"I came here today hoping that you could lend me a hand."

Yan Lie rested his chin on one hand, took a sip of tea with the other, and said leisurely, "Your luck has come when you can take a shortcut at this critical juncture."

“At crucial moments, luck is needed.” “In my calculations, if the fortune of the Vermilion Bird Clan were transferred to you, it should allow you to enter the half-step Myriad Realms. But I would like to know what your specific battle plan is.”

"You don't need to feel afraid. Guichen values ​​you because your heart is pure, and I value you because you have cultivated the Chaos Emperor Qi."

Yuwen Jun's mind was shaken, the pupils of the four Taoist Xuanzong disciples suddenly dilated, and the heart meridian of the Empress's successor twitched violently for a moment. The excessive fortune was tantamount to betting the entire honor and disgrace of the Vermilion Bird Clan on Yuwen Jun alone.

This honor was too great, so great that Yuwen Jun felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Even if "Tai" truly succeeds, causing all paths to collapse and order to be annihilated, with the strength of the Vermilion Bird, it would still be able to create its own small world to avoid the disaster.

Yan Lie's eyes shone brightly, and a dazzling Vermilion Bird rune soared out from between his eyebrows, instantly disappearing into Yuwen Jun's brow.

Yan Lie solemnly said, "I don't talk nonsense, but your battle plan is very important."

"The fact that you've come this far means that you've already become aware of the existence of 'Totality'."

Having said all that, Yuwen Jun had no choice but to speak frankly and replied solemnly, "After I enter the Half-Step Myriad Realms, I will send Chu Yu to the Eternal Palace to persuade the Demon Lord and the God Emperor to join forces against 'Tai'."

"The Demon Lord looks down upon the world and naturally wants to take on all the causal battles himself."

“But I will have Chu Yu draw the Blade of Time, and ‘Tai’ will surely appear in the Demon Realm capital.”

"A great battle is inevitable. If the Demon Lord is at a disadvantage, the God Emperor will naturally understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'. If the Demon Lord is at an advantage, the God Emperor may create unexpected complications."

“Once the situation becomes tense, I will seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the God Emperor and take the remaining two Origin Chips.”

Yan Lie immediately smiled smugly and said, "The Blade of Time is in Chu Yu's hands?"

"It's true that all laws are empty, but cause and effect are not. I never thought that after all this time, you would end up getting a great deal from the Time Clan."

"So, that legendary seal is also in your possession?"

Yuwen Jun nodded slightly, without denying it.

Yan Lie laughed and said, "That's right, we do have the qualifications to challenge 'Tai', but 'Tai's' strength is unfathomable. Moreover, although I have lived since the Primordial Era, I do not know what 'Tai's' true form is."

"Of course, the current Demon Lord is no match for 'Tai'."

"It's hard to say whether the Demon Lord and the God Emperor will join forces to fight against 'Tai'. We'll only know after the battle. If necessary, you'll also have to show up and provide some support."

"Anything can happen once a real fight breaks out."

"But the most important thing in the first battle is to test the strength of 'Tai', rather than fighting to the death in a head-on manner."

Yuwen Jun understood that all the rights and wrongs, grudges and grievances since the beginning of time depended entirely on the final outcome of the life-and-death struggle between the four people.

Yan Lie suddenly looked at Yuwen Jun with a serious expression and said with a half-smile, "There is another matter that I need you to personally handle for me. You will be cultivating in my Daoist temple as you attempt to break through to the Half-Step Myriad Ends."

"I can sense that you are different from before."

"This is my personal reason."

"With the Origin Chip and that seal, you should be able to nurture a subtle river of time. The places where you have cultivated will inevitably see an influx of spiritual energy, and the laws of the Great Dao will evolve."

"The land I inhabit has not expanded for a long time."

Yuwen Jun immediately smiled knowingly and said, "That's natural."

"Without the support of my seniors, I wouldn't even have had the chance to enter the arena to fight."
