Chapter 1951: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Curse Art!

“This plan was conceived by that Prodigy of the Mourning Race and has been passed down through generations. He once helped me become a Great Heavenly Venerate, and in return, he sought my help.

When the previous Immortal Emperor returned to the Void Realm and you took over as Immortal Emperor, the previous Imperial Advisor found me. According to his ancestor's plan, we formed a marriage at that time and gave birth to a baby girl.

This baby girl's body belongs to the Immortal Astral Continent, but her Soul belongs to the Mourning Race… Originally, under the Immortal Ancestor's imprisonment Seal, such a situation would have been impossible; the power of that Seal was immense!

However, the Immortal Ancestor has been dead for many years, and the power of his Seal has weakened. Furthermore, in the plan of that Prodigy of the Mourning Race back then, in order to complete it, the entire Mourning Race needed to sacrifice and dedicate their Souls, which would then fuse to resist the power of that Seal.

This is also why the number of Mourning Race members has continuously decreased throughout history. Until this generation, there are only two… Over these countless tens of thousands of years, all deceased members of the Mourning Race, using their unique methods, have transformed into a layer of protection existing within Haizi's Soul.

The reason she could leave Ancestral City without dying is related to her body, and also to the protection of these deceased Mourning Race members within her Soul… The entire Mourning Race spent countless years to finally achieve this in Haizi's body in this generation, and she is the only one who can do it!” Emperor Jiu spoke calmly. He looked at the Immortal Emperor and slowly recounted some of the origins.

“Because she is your daughter, you can help her without reservation! You can even become the Saint Duke of the Mourning Race, obtaining the incense offerings that only the Immortal Ancestor was qualified to receive back then… The Mourning Race has paid such a price to unseal the Seal…” The Immortal Emperor sighed deeply, his expression complex.

“Besides Haizi, the last member of the Mourning Race was the Imperial Advisor who just died… In fact, you didn't have to unseal the Mourning Race's imprisonment Seal, but the Mourning Race's ancestor had long calculated your desire, Lian Daozhen, to inherit the Immortal Ancestor's Legacy. Under the coercion of us four Great Heavenly Venerates, you would not choose to give up, but rather to take a gamble!”

“The key to this plan is the power of the Mourning Race's imprisonment Seal within the Immortal Ancestor's head. Therefore, there must be someone who can be Possessed and then be absorbed into the Immortal Ancestor's head.

Therefore, Wang Lin is extremely important!”

The Immortal Emperor was silent for a moment, then looked at Emperor Jiu and Haizi Heavenly Venerate behind him with a bitter expression, slowly speaking.

“So, if I hadn't insisted on unsealing it, but instead allowed the Immortal Ancestor's head to remain submerged in this forbidden palace, giving up the opportunity to inherit the Immortal Ancestor's cultivation, then your plan would have been in vain?”

“No!” It wasn't Emperor Jiu who spoke, but Haizi. At this moment, Haizi was completely different from before; a mysterious aura permeated her, and she looked at the Immortal Emperor with a calm expression.

“If you truly gave up this opportunity to inherit the Immortal Ancestor's cultivation, then the ambush that my Mourning Race has prepared for generations would be activated! All the spirit temples in the seventy-two continents of the Immortal Race obey my race's command!

All those spirit temples are planning to awaken the sealed spirits of each continent. At the cost of their awakening, they would shake the suppressing power of the Immortal Ancestor's head here. At that time, only the Immortal Ancestor could suppress it. If you don't inherit, the Immortal Race will fall into chaos! And once you want to inherit, you must unseal the imprisonment Seal that has fused with my race within that head!” Haizi spoke softly.

“Like the Green Demon Scorpion Temple…” The Immortal Emperor's pupils contracted.

Haizi nodded.

“Dao Yi, Wu Feng, you two must also know all of this?” The Immortal Emperor's gaze swept over Dao Yi and Wu Feng.

“Great Heavenly Venerate Jiu found me and did not hide anything, telling me about this Mourning Race plan. However, Emperor Jiu did not mention Wang Lin's matter; this Venerate only just learned that Wang Lin is actually the key figure in this plan!” Dao Yi frowned and slowly spoke.

Wu Feng was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor immediately laughed, but his smile was extremely bitter. His gaze swept over to the Twin Great Heavenly Venerate.

“What about you, Twin? Do you also know about this plan?!”

The Twin Great Heavenly Venerate, formed by the Fusion of the two little girls, had a calm expression, as if she had no interest in these matters. She glanced at the Immortal Emperor.

“This Venerate does not know, nor does this Venerate wish to know. This Venerate is here only to take Wang Lin away! Whether it's you, or Emperor Jiu, no matter who it is, if they obstruct me today, they will be this Venerate's enemy!”

“Wang Lin… Wang Lin… Since the Imperial Advisor's Possession was successful earlier, it means he is already dead! Presumably, you have been constantly monitoring everything about him in the Immortal Cave Realm.” The Immortal Emperor's eyes flashed.

“The Immortal Ancestor of the Mourning Race only calculated that a person who would emerge from the Immortal Cave Realm would appear within a vague time period, but could not calculate which Immortal Cave Realm this person would be in, nor could they precisely locate him; they could only wait.” Emperor Jiu shook his head.

“That Prodigy of the Mourning Race created the Great Soul Gate in the Tianniu Continent, presumably calculating that Wang Lin would appear in the Tianniu Continent. Thus, he used this as the first step of his plan to contact Wang Lin!” The Immortal Emperor was a person of extremely high intellect, and he spoke the key in one sentence.

“However, I wonder if the Old Ancestor of the Great Soul Gate could have calculated that Wang Lin, after being used by you in such a way, would die in this forbidden palace, becoming the price for your Mourning Race to unseal the Seal.

Emperor Jiu, you used Wang Lin, and even used him to attract the Twin Great Heavenly Venerate. Otherwise, with the strength of just the three of you, you wouldn't have forced me to choose to forcibly inherit the Immortal Ancestor's power!

You even used Revered Dao Ming, used Lian Daofei, used me, and used these seventy-two spirits of the Immortal Race! I don't believe that your ambition is merely for this Mourning Race, even if she is your daughter!” The Immortal Emperor looked up, his voice booming like thunder.

“And you two, Dao Yi, Wu Feng, for you two to come and be persuaded by Emperor Jiu, he must have promised you enormous benefits, and you also have your own schemes!

The reason you want to tell me all this truth is clearly to make me see the situation clearly; you must have something else you need me to cooperate with next!

Only you, Twin, have gained nothing, merely being used by Emperor Jiu and the Mourning Race!” At this point, the Immortal Emperor still used words to provoke and try to gain the Twin's help!

The Twin was silent. After her Fusion, how could she not understand all of this?

“Immortal Emperor, we do not wish to kill you. You only need to use your Bloodline Power to split open the Immortal Ancestor's head, and you will still be the Immortal Emperor, still a Great Heavenly Venerate!

If you are unwilling, then do not blame us for killing you and extracting your Bloodline Power to complete this step!” Emperor Jiu spoke calmly, without the slightest killing intent, but his words were extremely cold.

“Twin, the Immortal Ancestor's two eyeballs, being originally one entity, if you obtain them and refine them into a Magic Treasure to integrate into your body, it can reverse the accident during your Reincarnation, and even refine your cultivation further! It can also allow you to separate and fuse at will, instead of now, having to consume a fixed amount of Purple Yang power to maintain your fused state!”

“Wu Feng, the Immortal Ancestor's ears, I can confirm that they can hear the sound of the Dao and the trajectory of the Immortal Astral Law's operation. As I promised, these ears are yours. With this item, integrated into your Dao, you can experience the Peak of martial Dao!”

“Dao Yi, the Immortal Ancestor's skull, born from the Void Realm, has condensed the essence of its power over countless years. As I promised, this item is yours. With this item, you can achieve the unity of form and spirit!”

“What I want is the Immortal Ancestor's brain. This item is of great use to me. As for the Immortal Race's cultivation, we… will divide it equally!” Emperor Jiu's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the Immortal Emperor.

“So you also know about the curse art before the Immortal Ancestor's death!” The Immortal Emperor's expression was grim.

“This old man has been searching for clues for many years and finally found an item not long ago, confirming that this ancient legend is true: if the Immortal Ancestor dies, his body carries a curse, and anyone who attempts to destroy his body will die… Unless it is his descendant, who slays the ancestor with Bloodline Power, enduring the power of that curse art, thereby severing the Bloodline, and thereafter having no one to inherit the Immortal Ancestor's Bloodline, only then can it be broken! Immortal Emperor, at this point, you have no choice. You have endured the power of that curse art, you will not die. Although the Eight Extremes title will end with your generation, the Immortal Ancestor has been dead for many years, and his lingering prestige shrouds the Immortal Race. Now, it is time for a change!

And if you don't do this, then right now, you will surely die! If it weren't for concerns about changes in the ancient race's structure after your death, this old man would not have gone to such great lengths to discuss this with you.

How to choose, you decide for yourself!” Emperor Jiu looked at the Immortal Emperor, his voice cold.

The Immortal Emperor was silent.

On the ground, in the dim right eye of the Immortal Ancestor's head, Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He restrained all his aura. He had heard everything outside. Although Wang Lin had guessed part of the multiple twists and turns that occurred during this trip to the imperial palace, he had not guessed everything.

“Immortal Master Qing Niu of the Great Soul Gate once said that I should go to the Great Soul Gate in three hundred years, to the topmost tower… The Old Ancestor who founded the Great Soul Gate left something for me there… What else did this Old Ancestor of the Great Soul Gate, the Prodigy of the Mourning Race, leave for me after using me to unseal the Mourning Race's Seal…” Wang Lin's expression was complex.

“He appeared in the Tianniu Continent and founded the Great Soul Gate just to wait for me… Perhaps in his plan, I should have died… But if he really deduced that I would die in this imperial palace, then why did he leave things in that topmost pavilion, and why those words about three hundred years?”

“You used me, and even calculated my every step… Since you could calculate my arrival, you must also be able to calculate my personality. How could I let this matter rest!” Wang Lin was silent, sighing inwardly, when he suddenly felt a violent tremor from outside. He saw the Immortal Ancestor's head being levitated from a distance, rising from the ground straight into the sky.

It was the Immortal Emperor. After a long silence, he seemed to have made a choice. He raised his right hand and grabbed at the Void Realm above the ground, lifting the Immortal Ancestor's head into the air!
