Chapter 1179: Chapter 709: Cave Mansion Chapter 1179: Chapter 709: Cave Mansion “What?”

Upon hearing these words, even True Immortal, Yousu Yu couldn’t help but change color.

Since the Undying Emperor Corpse attacked her Yousu Country, this Dark Chaos has been ravaging the Divine Land to this day, already spanning over thirteen hundred years.

Although the Divine Land has experienced many upheavals, one lasting as long as this had never occurred before, casting a terrifying shadow over the already tormented Divine Land, filling the hearts of people with dread and unease.

And now news of the destruction of Tianyu Ancient Dynasty has come as well?

That was the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty!

A ruling Imperial Dynasty, with Imperial Arms at its disposal, including the Tianyu Bell, which was one of the three great bells of the Divine Land. Its ruler, the Tianyu Emperor was also a true immortal among the Divine Land, a peak figure among all the Saint Lords.

In the battle at Hehe Mountain, although he did not emerge victorious, he still made a renowned name for himself, considered by the world as one of the Saint Lords most likely to Prove the Dao and become an emperor.

Such heritage, such a figure, to have also met with disaster?

Yousu Yu was greatly alarmed.

Although among the upheavals of past generations, there have been Celestial Gate Holy Lands and Ancient Clans of Imperial Dynasties that were destroyed, the vast majority had reasons, such as sudden chaos, instant calamities catching them unprepared, or perhaps True Immortal Saint Masters holding Imperial Arms were abroad and could not defend their Sect’s ancestral lands, facing destruction due to isolation and weakness, and so on.

But like the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty, which had made preparations early on, with a True Immortal Saint Master wielding an Imperial Arm, consolidating the dynasty’s potentiality, and defending their Sect’s ancestral lands, only to meet such a miserable end – such instances were scarce and only happened during the most terrifying of upheavals.

The chaos of a thousand years has already caused countless deaths and injuries in the Divine Land. Now, with the destruction of an Imperial Dynasty, the disaster is worsening. Could it be like the rumors circulating in the streets, that a great horror is emerging, to become the ultimate calamity, to devour the Divine Land and swallow everything?

Thousands of thoughts raced, fear and trepidation ensue!

But True Immortal is, after all, a True Immortal, quickly dispelling that notion.

Yousu Yu turned her gaze back to the crowd and asked solemnly, “What exactly happened? Where is the Tianyu Emperor? The Tianyu Bell?”

“We do not know either!”

Upon hearing this, King Fufeng also revealed a bitter and sorrowful smile, and began to recount the events.

“After the outbreak of unrest, the Emperor initially led the kings in defending Tianyu City, and arranged for several of our lineage branches to be on the outside, as a precaution.”

“Unexpectedly, an actual calamity did occur. Three months ago, the sound of the Emperor Bell stirred the Heavenly Domain, and soon after we received a letter: our ancestral land was under siege, in dire condition, instructing our lineage branches to immediately flee to preserve the Tianyu bloodline…”

“We fled in a panic, after numerous twists and turns, through trials and tribulations, finally arrived here, but we were still discovered and ambushed by God Ye, and from this god we learned about the fall of Tianyu and the death of the Emperor, the loss of the Emperor Sect…”

After finishing the story, King Fufeng, who had not yet risen, knelt on the ground, holding out an object in both hands, speaking to Yousu Yu with a somber voice: “At this point, with enemies in all directions, we have nowhere to go. We beg the Scholar’s Palace for refuge, a place for us to live on, to continue the Tianyu bloodline. We are willing to offer up the Emperor Scripture and the treasury of rare treasures as endowments for our sanctuary…”

Yousu Yu glanced at him, “The Scholar’s Palace has its own regulations, and the Taoist Master has edicts: in this calamity, to provide shelter for the world and embrace all life, banishing demons and those on the Evil Path, anyone who enters my Taoist Domain will have a place to live without needing anything in return; you are no exception.”

Although knowing the ways of the Wandao School, feeling somewhat prepared in his heart, upon hearing Yousu Yu’s words, King Fufeng and the people of the Tianyu Dynasty were still overjoyed, and quickly said: “The Taoist Master’s great kindness, we have no way to repay it, we will be forever grateful…”

“No need for empty words!”

Yousu Yu glanced over coldly and gazed at the crowd: “Although the Taoist Master has the edict to protect all beings during this calamity, demons and those on the Evil Path are not included. If you are from such vile groups, entering the Taoist Domain will not only leave you with no place to live but will lead you to the Execution Platform. Do you understand?”

“We understand, we understand, rest assured, Ancestral Fox!”

As soon as Yousu Yu finished speaking, King Fufeng immediately responded, “All of us carry clean family backgrounds, we are certainly not the scoundrels who commit petty thefts. When the Taoist Master was in Tianyu Ancient City, it was that madman Ling Hui who acted rashly, heartlessly mad, the Emperor in blind love for his brother lost his senses for a moment, we beg for forgiveness…”

“Enough!”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted, Yousu Yu swept her sleeve: “Since you already know, then I shall say no more. After entering my Taoist Domain, abide by the rules. If you overstep the Thunder Pond, no one can save you!”

“Follow me!”

Saying this, without waiting for the people of Tianyu to respond, she walked forward towards the Taoist Domain.

Seeing this, the people of Tianyu hurriedly got up and followed, not daring to delay in the slightest.

This place was already at the border of the Taoist Domain, otherwise, there wouldn’t be a True Immortal patrolling.

Yousu Yu led the group, and in just a moment, they arrived at a massive city.

This city, although newly constructed, possessed the aura of a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, unified from top to bottom, flawlessly complete. The twinkling Spirit Light seemed to reveal the patterns of the Great Dao, eliciting the power of heaven and earth.

“Is this one of the Five Directions City?”

“In recent years, the Wandao School has been expanding rapidly, whether to suppress the chaos, for urgent rescue, to win over the hearts of the people, or in the aftermath of the chaos, to take over territories, proclaiming the suppression of illegality, clearing out Evil Cultivators as a pretext, and repeatedly sweeping the surrounding areas, thus expanding the territory of the Taoist Domain several times over, and even constructing these Five Directions Immortal Cities on the borders, to resist the Dark intrusion.”

“Five Elements and Five Directions, Five Directions and Five Elements, these Five Directions Cities share the ingenious workings of the Four Symbols City of Hehe Mountain back in the day. However, their might far surpasses that of the Four Symbols City. It is said that each city is complete in the Five Elements, set up personally by the Honored Wandao with the Innate Five Elements Great Formation. Coupled with the True Immortals and Void Immortals seated within the formation as well as the myriad of Cultivators from the Scholar’s Palace, it is feared that only a Saint Lord with a Taoist Soldier in hand might stand a chance to break through.”
