Poverty

Chapter 1861 Imperial Might
For Li Yanchu, the Mang Daoist was an insurmountable mountain, a colossal figure that Li Yanchu could not shake with his current strength.

However, it's unknown how long it will take before Li Yanchu grows up enough to fight against Mang Daoren.

Now that another path lies before Li Yanchu, he feels somewhat uneasy.

He was unsure whether the old emperor before him would help him.

Currently, he cannot even discern whether the other party's intentions are good or bad.

However, at this moment, the Great Emperor of the Old Lands calmly said, "I adopted you as my son, yet you only ask me for this one thing?"

Li Yanchu said, "I have traveled hundreds of millions of miles to save Jingjie and my family and friends. I hope Your Majesty can lend a helping hand."

Shao Hongjun said, "Well said, I'll help you."

A look of surprise appeared on Li Yanchu's face, and he suddenly looked up and said, "Your Majesty!"

Shao Hongjun said, "You don't need to be so formal when we're alone. Just call me godfather."

Li Yanchu said, "Godfather."

Shao Hongjun was very satisfied with this. He patted Li Yanchu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

Li Yanchu was taken aback upon hearing this.

The next moment, Shao Hongjun left the pavilion where Li Yanchu was.

……

The Dao Realm is rich in Dao scenery, adorned with tens of thousands of innate spiritual treasures, and its experts are countless.

Even the weakest outer disciple is at the Dao Lord realm, yet on this day, an uninvited guest arrived in the Dao Domain.

The palace masters of the nine palaces of the Dao Domain were all shaken, and even the founder of the Dao Domain was alarmed and came out of his seclusion.

The incredibly powerful founder then said in a deep voice, "Shao Hongjun, you've come here alone. Do you intend to die?"

The gaze of the old Earth Emperor Shao Hongjun swept over the palace masters of the Dao Domain's Nine Palaces, finally landing on Mang Daoren, the palace master of the Calamity Palace. Mang Daoren frowned slightly.

Anyone who is stared at by Shao Hongjun will feel a chill run down their spine; this man's level of understanding has reached an unbelievable realm.

Shao Hongjun said, "I'm here today to find someone."

The Dao Domain Lord coldly said, "Looking for someone? What do you take this place for! Since you're here, don't even think about leaving."

Shao Hongjun said, "I don't want to fight you today. I just want the Jingjie in Mang Daoren's hands."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

This ancient emperor was extremely powerful. Although he claimed to be the most disappointing emperor in the history of the ancient land in front of Li Yanchu, his cultivation was genuine.

The arrival of such a person alone in the Dao Domain greatly shocked the Palace Masters of the Nine Palaces and the founder of the Dao Domain. However, they never expected that he would come for the sake of the Mang Dao Ren.

The Lord of the Dao Domain turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the Mang Daoist with a questioning tone.

The Taoist priest broke out in a cold sweat.

He secured his position as the Palace Master of the Tribulation Palace by cultivating the Great Dao of Tribulation, and his strength was somewhat weaker compared to the Palace Masters of the other major Dao Palaces.

Unexpectedly, this former emperor of the land has come to demand the return of the Jingjie.

The Taoist priest asked, "What does Jingjie have to do with you?"

Shao Hongjun said, "You're admitting it now, that's good."

The next moment, Mang Daoren realized he had misspoke and immediately stood in formation with the others, and the Nine Paths Innate Formation appeared.

In an instant, dazzling Dao light swept across the sky, and various dazzling divine lights of the Great Dao appeared in the sky of the entire Dao Domain. All the innate spiritual treasures moved and formed a great array.

It was indeed very dangerous for Shao Hongjun to come here alone, but at this moment, before the great formation of everyone was completed, he suddenly reached out and grabbed.

A giant hand appeared out of thin air, tearing the void behind the Daoist Mang directly.

A jujube tree appeared behind the Taoist priest.

This jujube tree is a spiritual root of the universe, ancient and vast, its branches and leaves reaching towards the sky like writhing dragons, and each jujube seems to contain a different universe.

With a sweep of his divine eyes, Shao Hongjun immediately discovered a universe with the same aura as Li Yanchu, hidden among the leaves behind the Mang Daoren.

The fact that a universe could be hidden behind the jujube tree was not only due to the Daoist Mang's profound cultivation, but also because the jujube tree behind him was indeed a rare spiritual root in the vast void.

At this moment, Mang Daoren's heart trembled, and he immediately summoned the Great Dao of Calamity, which transformed into a Heavenly Blade of Calamity and slashed at Shao Hongjun.

But Shao Hongjun remained unfazed, ignoring the flashing blade and continuing to reach out.

The next moment, the jujube tree behind the Taoist was uprooted and shrank continuously until it landed in his palm.

The Daoist Mang Dao's Heavenly Blade struck down but failed to harm Shao Hongjun in the slightest. Just as he was feeling surprised, the jujube tree, which was closely related to his Dao, was taken away, which shocked him greatly.

This jujube tree is called the Fire Jujube, a treasure of the Void Dao. Cosmic spiritual roots are extremely rare in the entire Great Void, yet he possesses one. Because of this, the other palace masters dare not underestimate him.

Unexpectedly, it was taken away by Shao Hongjun in a single move.

The next moment, the palace masters unleashed their divine powers and blasted towards Shao Hongjun.

Shao Hongjun was surrounded by an extremely powerful divine light of the Great Dao. All the attacks of the Great Dao fell into the divine light around him and could not harm him in the slightest. They all lost their effectiveness.

Only the Lord of the Dao Domain managed to force Shao Hongjun to retreat.

His sword light was incredibly sharp, piercing through the sky. The light of the nine innate paths kept shining, crisscrossing and circulating endlessly. With one sword, he pierced Shao Hongjun's body, piercing through the Dao light on his body.

When Shao Hongjun turned around again, the jujube tree in his palm had shrunk to three inches in size, and he finally put it into his sleeve.

Surprisingly, Shao Hongjun neither dodged nor evaded, and took the sword strike from the Dao Domain Lord head-on.

Shao Hongjun's clothes were stained with blood.

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "This Jing Realm is so important to you that you didn't hesitate to take a sword strike from me."

At this moment, Shao Hongjun activated the Great Dao, and the overwhelming power of the Great Dao forced the Dao Domain Lord back like a tidal wave.

Then Shao Hongjun's figure floated away.

The major palace masters of the Nine Innate Paths joined forces to cast a grand formation, and with the arrangements made throughout the entire Dao Domain, even Shao Hongjun would have been left behind. However, before anyone could react, he quickly left.

Seeing this, the group, led by the Lord of the Dao Domain, chased after Shao Hongjun.

Shao Hongjun is the Great Emperor of the Old Land. If we can kill him here today, it will greatly increase our chances of destroying the Old Land.

However, after everyone chased after him, Shao Hongjun's blood splattered across the sky, but the next moment, the blood on his body suddenly transformed into terrifying lightning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

These divine lightning bolts raged across the Dao Domain, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and simultaneously halting the crowd. He had actually used his own Dao blood as a catalyst to transform into world-destroying divine lightning, filling everyone with terror.

With this technique of turning blood into lightning, Shao Hongjun successfully forced everyone back, and in an instant, he disappeared into the crack in the great void.

The Lord of the Dao Domain's expression turned extremely ugly.

Shao Hongjun had been his enemy for many years, but he never expected that he would come alone today and be easily defeated, catching him completely off guard.

The Lord of the Dao Domain's face was ashen, and he said in a deep voice, "We must find a way to intercept and kill him outside the Old Land today, and not let anyone come to his rescue."

Everyone accepted the order and immediately set off with a whoosh.

The Taoist priest looked pained. Part of his cultivation of the Great Dao relied on this jujube tree, but he never expected that the jujube tree would be taken away by Shao Hongjun in a single day.

Shao Hongjun, the former Great Emperor of the Land, was willing to sacrifice his cultivation and life essence to seize his jujube tree, which greatly angered the Daoist Mang.

"It's that kid Li Yanchu! How did he get involved with Shao Hongjun? Shao Hongjun is even willing to risk his life to seize Jingjie for him."

The Taoist priest found it somewhat absurd.

Li Yanchu's status was extremely lowly, while Shao Hongjun's status was extremely noble. As the supreme ruler of the Old Land, only the Lord of the Dao Domain could rival him in the Dao Domain.

Regardless of his status or cultivation level, this extraordinary figure had developed a strange connection with Li Yanchu, causing the Daoist Mang to feel extremely frightened.

All he felt for Li Yanchu now was pure killing intent.
“This child is somewhat dangerous. If he falls into Shao Hongjun’s hands and unravels the mystery of the Nine Paths of the Primordial Chaos, our Dao Domain will be doomed in the future.”

He didn't have time to explain the pros and cons of the matter at that moment, and immediately chased after them.

…………

On the other side, Li Yanchu was in the pavilion.

Shao Hongjun returned shortly after leaving.

Li Yanchu felt as if only a breath had passed before he saw Shao Hongjun return.

At this moment, there were still bloodstains on Shao Hongjun's clothes. Li Yanchu was extremely surprised when he saw this, and thought to himself, "Who could have hurt this Great Emperor of the Old Land? And where did he go just now?"

Li Yanchu said with concern, "Your Majesty..."

Shao Hongjun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, look what this is?"

At this moment, he flipped his palm, and a jujube tree appeared in his palm. He gently tossed it, and it landed outside the pavilion.

The jujube tree took root and grew rapidly, and some of the jujubes were as bright as flames and as clear and translucent as glass, which was very beautiful.

And among these jujube trees, there was a cosmic aura that attracted Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu's eyes widened in shock; the universe had now shrunk to the size of a jujube and was hidden within it.

Li Yanchu was overjoyed. He was deeply shocked and surprised.

Shao Hongjun only went for a short while and yet he managed to take back Jingjie?
Was Shao Hongjun injured because of this?
Shao Hongjun sighed, "The Dao Domain is indeed powerful. I am somewhat inadequate. I even got injured while trying to retrieve this jujube tree for you."

Li Yanchu sensed the presence of the people from the Jing Realm and was deeply moved. Seeing Shao Hongjun injured, he couldn't help but say, "Godfather."

When Shao Hongjun returned earlier, Li Yanchu instinctively addressed him as "Your Majesty" to show respect.

But at this moment, the word "godfather" was truly uttered with heartfelt emotion, coming from the bottom of his heart.

Shao Hongjun could also sense this change and said reassuringly, "There is Mang Daoren's mark on this jujube tree. I will help you remove it. From now on, this will be your treasure and his apology to you. However, if you want to take his head, you will have to do it yourself. I will leave his head to you."

Li Yanchu's blood boiled, and he said excitedly, "Godfather, I will definitely help you complete the Heaven-Mending Plan, and I will definitely cut off the head of the Mang Daoist."

Shao Hongjun said, "I believe you."

He then slowly stood up and said, "I'm getting old. Doing this kind of solo beheading is no longer suitable for me. I need to rest. You can stay in Fengya Palace and don't think too much."

Li Yanchu nodded.

The next moment, Shao Hongjun's figure disappeared. His supernatural power had reached such a level that he could disappear and return in an instant, having already escaped the pursuit of the Dao Domain experts and returned without anyone knowing when.

After seeing Shao Hongjun disappear, Li Yanchu quickly stepped forward and imprinted his Dao onto the jujube tree with a wisp of divine thought.

This jujube tree avenue is extremely powerful. The mark of the Mang Daoist is extraordinary. Not to mention taking it, as long as Li Yanchu approaches with the intention of taking it, he will be attacked by this jujube tree.

It's quite amazing, Li Yanchu couldn't even beat this jujube tree before, but after Shao Hongjun came to his aid...
He had erased the brand from the jujube tree, and now the jujube tree was ownerless, washed clean, with not a trace of the brand left.

Li Yanchu imprinted a Dao mark on it and immediately gained control of the jujube tree.

The surging power of the void fell upon him, causing Li Yanchu's Void Dao to immediately surge.

Li Yanchu also learned that this jujube tree was actually a rare Void Spiritual Root from the Void Dao.
He was astonished; this object was far more powerful than any of the innate spiritual treasures he had ever seen before.

"This jujube tree was the Daoist Mang's most treasured possession, and it just fell into my hands like this?"

Li Yanchu was somewhat incredulous.

He then quickly entered the universe contained within the jujube tree.

Upon entering, he immediately sensed familiar presences and saw a series of familiar figures.
Fang Youqing, Fang Qinglan, Cuihua, Yunniang, Nuwa, Yunqu, and others, as well as the Old Celestial Master, the Martial Saint, Emperor Chonghua, and other beings from the vast Jingjie realm.

A group of powerful beings from the Realm of Scenery were cultivating in the Realm of Scenery at this time. They had previously been shielded from the void by an immense magical power, creating an additional barrier outside the Realm of Scenery, making it impossible for them to see the outside world.

Suddenly, they sensed a powerful aura breaking through the air. Everyone recognized Li Yanchu and was overjoyed, rushing over to him.

At this moment, the Realm of Scenery is amassed with hundreds of millions of soldiers, and countless immortals are on high alert, ready to fight to the death against the powerful beings outside the Realm of Scenery.

When everyone saw Li Yanchu arrive, they rushed forward to ask him questions.

Fang Youqing exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, how did you get here? Jingjie was attacked by an unknown entity and has been isolated for a long time."

Li Yanchu said, "You were kidnapped by Mang Daoren and taken away with the cosmic spiritual root. It was only by asking the Great Emperor of the Old Land to rescue you."

Fang Youqing and the others were both surprised and delighted, but at this moment they were completely confused.
The Great Emperor of the Old Lands?

After Li Yanchu recounted his experiences during this period, everyone was shocked and speechless.

The realm is now much stronger than before, completely different from what it was then.

All the immortals and cultivators in the entire universe were on high alert at this moment.
But I never expected my opponent to be such a powerful being.
To everyone's surprise, Li Yanchu actually hired an even stronger person to rescue them.

When Li Yanchu returned to the Immortal Palace and saw everyone still in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a dreamlike sensation, and his eyes reddened slightly.

Li Yanchu said in a hoarse voice, "Your disappearance almost drove me crazy, but I finally found you again."

Fang Youqing and the other women surrounded Li Yanchu, sighing and secretly shedding tears.

This reunion was extremely difficult; we almost faced a life-or-death separation.
