Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

"However, the Chai family's supernatural powers are indeed amazing. After all, they have to constantly distort their bodies in space, which is extremely draining of their spiritual power. The Chai family may have extraordinary abilities in spatial arts."

Su Yun thought to himself, "And the Chai family occupies so many treasures, the wealth is truly unimaginable."

He looked at the visions rising from the treasures below, feeling inexplicably shocked.

Everyone in the Emperor's Cave, even those who make a living on the backs of sea monsters, are all rewarded by the Chai family. It's difficult enough to survive, and they have to pay tribute to the Chai family every year!

This is the future of Yuanshuo and Xitu!

If Yuanshuo and Xitu continue to develop as they are now, it will inevitably lead to a highly concentrated wealth and resources. If the major powers continue to fight and merge, it will create a terrifying situation where wealth and resources are concentrated in one family!

When it comes to that, it will be just like the Emperor's Cave today!

Chai Jun asked, "Brother Su, the Tower Master is a spiritual being, so he can traverse the stars, but you are a living person, so you shouldn't be able to traverse the stars. Where are you from?"

Observing the world where Tian Shiyuan and Yuanshuo are located, only an extra star can be seen on the sea level, and there is no attention paid to the fact that Yuanshuo has appeared next to the Emperor's Cave.

Su Yun smiled and said, "The Tower Master is a Dao Saint, with many extraordinary abilities, so naturally, he can traverse the stars with me."

Ying Ying blinked her eyes and secretly praised, "Su Scholar is getting more and more proficient at lying."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chai Jun stopped asking.

Su Yun asked, "Before us, did another spiritual being visit the Emperor's Cave? That spiritual being was an old man, very elegant, but somewhat cynical."

With a slight movement of his mind, he visualized the portrait of Master Cen in the temple and showed it to everyone.

Chai Jun and the others shook their heads and said, "We have never heard of any visitors from outside the world."

Su Yun smiled and said, "You haven't even looked at it yet, and you're saying you've never heard of it. Isn't that a bit hasty?"

Chai Jun and the others came closer to take a closer look, and then shook their heads again, saying, "We've never seen it before."

Su Yun asked suspiciously, "Since you haven't heard of any other visitors from outside the world, why bother to look closely?"

Chai Ruyi chuckled and said, "Su Tower Master, are you a sly fox? Why are you so suspicious? We've only just met, can we deceive you?"

Su Yun apologized, "I am indeed overly suspicious, please forgive me, brothers and sisters."

Ying Ying entered his spiritual realm and came to the side of the Li Zhu, quietly asking, "Su Scholar, is there something wrong with the Chai family?"

Su Yun's spiritual being said, "Indeed, something is amiss. Master Cen entered the starry sky half a year before the Tower Master, and embarked on the path of ascension. Even if Master Cen's spiritual cultivation is not as good as the Tower Master's, and his speed is slower, he should have arrived here before the Tower Master. Master Cen is a Confucian Dao Saint, his noble spirit is vast, his words are magnificent, stretching for thousands of miles, and awe-inspiring."

"They said they had never seen the picture without looking at it, which is indeed suspicious. When you probed for the second time, they looked carefully, with a somewhat evasive meaning. When you pointed out these two points, they changed the subject and accused you of being overly suspicious."

Ying Ying analyzed, "It can be seen that the real culprit is them! Master Cen may have encountered some changes when he came, and these changes are related to the Chai family, and maybe even related to the Divine Lord Chai Yundu!"

Su Yun nodded silently.

The group continued to chat, and they found that in different worlds, the realms were unexpectedly similar. Although they were called by different names, both Yuanshuo and the Emperor's Cave had the Beginning Movement realm, the Deep Abyss realm, and the Celestial Phenomenon realm. It's just that the Emperor's Cave does not have the Foundation Establishment and Spiritual Cultivation realms.

"We have the bloodline of immortals, so we don't need to establish a foundation or cultivate our spirits. Living in the Emperor's Cave, there is no need for spiritual cultivation."

Chai Jun smiled and said, "As for the Verification of the Saint and the Original Dao realms, we don't need a spiritual body either. It's just that later, your Yuanshuo's Saint Spirit arrived here, and our ancestor, Divine Lord Yundu, entertained him. He imparted the Verification of the Saint and the Original Dao realms to him. These two realms are more like spiritual realms, refining the spiritual being to be extremely powerful. Our clan's spiritual bodies are powerful, and when combined with powerful spiritual beings, it's like a fish in water."

Su Yun suddenly realized and said with a smile, "The spiritual body is truly enviable."

Chai Jun and the others smiled slightly, not proud.

Su Yun continued, "I'm new here, and there's one thing I don't understand. Why do the languages of our two worlds both use the Yuanshuo language?"

Chai Jun and the others laughed heartily, leaving Su Yun feeling bewildered. Chai Shang explained, "The language we use is mostly a common language in the Great Thousand Worlds. The Yuanshuo language you speak of probably has a different origin, it was probably taught to you by someone else."

Su Yun was greatly shocked, suddenly realizing, "It's the Three Holy Emperors!"

Before the era of the Holy Emperor, there were the Three Holy Emperors with dragon heads and human bodies, human heads and snake bodies, and ox heads and human bodies. These three Holy Emperors were not of the human race, but were divine beings!

At that time, the previous world was on the brink of destruction, the disaster had not yet been completely extinguished, and the new world was just beginning. People were ignorant and dull, and the three Holy Emperors from the stars helped the people of that time through the difficult times. After the departure of the Three Holy Emperors, the first Holy Emperor, Xuanyuan, opened the era of the Holy Emperor.

In other words, the Yuanshuo language was actually taught to the people of Yuanshuo by the Three Holy Emperors!

The group chatted and laughed, and as they got closer to Tianxi Ying'an, Su Yun and Ying Ying felt more and more awe.

The ancient and solemn city of Ying'an exuded an incomparably supreme immortal aura, and above the city of Ying'an, the immortal light truly shone down, sprinkling over the city, making it the greatest holy place in the entire Emperor's Cave!

"Brother Su, does your world of Yuanshuo have a cave called Tian Shiyuan?" Chai Jun suddenly asked.

Su Yun laughed and said, "How could Yuanshuo have Tian Shiyuan? Yuanshuo is actually a subordinate of Tian Shiyuan, which belongs to the Great Emperor of Tian Shiyuan!"

Ying Ying chuckled softly. The Great Emperor of Tian Shiyuan was none other than Su Yun himself.

This Great Emperor Su Yun was just a random title. With countless spirits and gods in Tian Shiyuan, if there were no leader, it would definitely cause great chaos, even internal wars among the spirits and gods were not impossible.

In the past, Tian Shiyuan was suppressed by the Eastern Master, and it was still stable. Now that the Eastern Master has become a god and left, only Su Yun can reconcile the various major forces in Tian Shiyuan.The key point was that Su Yun had good relations with all the major forces and was the only living person in Tian Shi Yuan, so everyone was quite willing to follow his lead as the figurehead.

Chai Jun, unaware of the full story, uttered, "The holy spirits who came here before never mentioned a great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan."

Su Yun smiled and said, "The holy spirits simply dare not utter the name of this great emperor. Our great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan is akin to a Heavenly Immortal descending to earth, blessed by the great Dao of heaven and earth, with unfathomable strength. With a single hand, he suppressed ninety-six gods and demons, truly formidable! What you don't know is that Emperor Yuan Shuo angered the great emperor of Tian Shi Yuan and was killed by him."

Ying Ying, excited by the conversation, flew out of Su Yun's spiritual realm and said eagerly, "And there's more! The western vassal states overseas angered the great emperor, so he released the ninety-six suppressed gods and demons and flattened the western vassal states! The great emperor's might..."

"Ying Ying!" Su Yun coughed.

Chai Jun felt a chill in his heart and said calmly, "So there is such a powerful being in Tian Shi Yuan, comparable to my ancestor, the Cloud Crossing Divine Lord!"

Su Yun also tensed up. Chai Jun and the others were always inquiring about Tian Shi Yuan, seemingly coveting it.

Now, Tian Shi Yuan had merged with the Imperial Throne's two great cave heavens, and the gates of Black Iron City had opened, allowing the vital energies of both worlds to connect, causing a drastic improvement in the quality of the vital energy.

It wouldn't be long before the vital energy of this continent also underwent a transformation, and by then, the merger of the two worlds would certainly not escape the notice of the powerful beings of the Imperial Throne's cave heaven!

"Now, we can only take one step at a time and see what the Imperial Throne's cave heaven is planning!"

The speed of the painted boat slowed, and Su Yun saw that besides their boat, other painted boats were also heading towards Ying An. These boats had wings of gods and demons, a kind of flesh wings, with a pair on the dragon head, another pair on the belly of the boat, and a smaller pair at the stern, quite peculiar.

These painted boats belonged to the Chai family's descendants from all over the world, entering Tian Xi Ying An for a pilgrimage. Many young descendants of the Chai family stepped out of the boats, standing at the bow, greeting each other from afar.

One by one, the painted boats slowly entered Ying An, when suddenly, a terrifying divine power erupted from one of them, like a fire dragon charging, booming and smashing several boats to pieces!

The descendants of the Chai family on six or seven boats had no time to dodge and were blown apart, their spirits reduced to dust in the explosion!

The fire dragon roared, soaring into the sky, charging towards the painted boat where Su Yun was!

At that moment, angry shouts came from Ying An city, and terrifying auras rose to the sky, heading straight for the boat from which the fire dragon had emerged!

They were five elders, whose cultivation and strength felt to Su Yun no weaker than Qin Wu Ling, Han Jun, and others, presumably beings who had cultivated to the Original Dao realm!

The combined attack of the five elders was terrifying, and the technique they used was a kind of immortal art that required the five of them to work together to perform. If one person tried to use it alone, it would likely exceed the limits of their physical body or spirit.

The combined immortal art of five Original Dao realm powerhouses was unimaginably powerful, yet a long howl came from that boat, and divine power burst forth!

Su Yun was astonished; he suddenly heard a sound like the great bells and drums of heaven, as if the gods and demons of the nine heavens were chanting the laws of heaven and earth, maintaining the order of the mortal world, forging iron rules to restore order to the chaotic world!

"The great techniques of the ancient saints of the Legalist school!" Su Yun almost exclaimed aloud.

A seal from the boat turned the world upside down, as if the palm was pressing down the heavenly constitution from the top of the sky, clashing hard against the immortal art of the five elders. And the heavenly constitution was the law of heaven, the principle of heaven!

Su Yun had studied the ultimate techniques of the great Legalist saints in the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven. The Heavenly Constitution Technique was the ultimate technique of the Legalist Saint Han!

"Could it be a person from Yuan Shuo?" Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.

However, the power contained in this Heavenly Constitution divine power was somewhat beyond Su Yun's expectations, and the divine power was more exquisite than the great techniques passed down by the Legalist great saint, almost approaching the Dao!

"Could it be that the Legalist great saint has been reborn? Or did the great saint come here and leave behind his legacy?"

Just as he thought this, the divine powers collided, the boat exploded, and the five elders' immortal art overpowered the person in the boat, sending him flying. At the same time, the fire dragon he had unleashed suddenly turned back, passing through the back of one of the elders!

The Chai family elder spat blood and shouted, "Nan Bu Yi!"

Su Yun looked towards the frantically retreating Nan Bu Yi and saw various formations emerge under his feet, dissipating the power of the immortal art with exquisite skill, a sight to behold.

"If it were Master Shui Jing, it would be no different," Su Yun admired.

The middle-aged man known as Nan Bu Yi laughed heartily, dispersing the power of the immortal art and turning into a long rainbow as he left.

"The Chai family monopolizes the world's resources, and the five elders are just so!"

The five elders were unable to catch up, their faces darkening.

Su Yun looked at Chai Jun and the others in the boat, seeing that they too had grim expressions. Chai Rou Yi clenched her teeth and said, "These treacherous ministers and thieves are not content with eating fish at sea and now wish to come ashore..."

Su Yun felt a surge in his heart: "It seems that the ancient saints of Yuan Shuo have traveled here and have not been idle."

Ying Ying whispered, "Su Scholar, I think not only the Legalist great saint has been busy, but perhaps the other ancient saints of Yuan Shuo have also been busy. Do you think it's possible that after those ancient saints came here, they secretly passed on techniques and divine powers to the people at sea, creating a group of rebels?"

Su Yun blinked, "If that's really the case, then our trip here is dangerous! Could it be that Master Cen..."

He was about to remind Master Lou to leave early when suddenly four of the Chai family's five elders came over and said, "Are you guests from beyond the heavens? The Divine Lord invites you!"

The pinnacle.
