Chapter 631: The Emperor’s Astonishment

Chapter 631: The Emperor's Astonishment (Seeking Subscriptions)

Having descended to this Origin World for quite a few years, Lin Yuan had also collected quite a few Legacy secret techniques of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

Among the Great Venerables of the Ancient Countries, many had friendships with each other and would trade to supply what the other lacked.

Many secret technique legacies were naturally included in these trades.

However, the secret technique legacies that could be traded at the Great Venerable level were still too shallow for Lin Yuan.

Now, these two Heavenly Reverends of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom gave Lin Yuan hope of coming into contact with the profound Legacy secret techniques of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom.

Of course, Lin Yuan did not expect to obtain the truly untransmitted secret techniques of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom; even if Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable had cultivated legacies of that level, they would not have recorded them down.

However, ordinary secret technique legacies at the Heavenly Venerable level still had a high probability of being kept as backups.

For example, the Burning Heaven Courtyard founded by Qing Fen Marquis contained numerous secret technique legacies.

Lin Yuan immediately began to probe the world secret treasures left behind by the two Heavenly Reverends, which stored the collections accumulated by Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable over many years.

These two Heavenly Reverends had never expected that they would be completely left behind in the Black Jade Nest this time.

Therefore, their main combat Physical Bodies that sneaked in carried quite a few rare treasures and oddities.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept past the numerous rare treasures and oddities, directly looking toward the Legacy secret technique area.

"Profound Yin Thirteen Slashes." It was created by a Peak Heavenly Venerable of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom based on the supreme Legacy of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, the "Profound Yin Secret Canon," condensing an exterminating slash with ultimate Dark Yin Qi.

Lin Yuan carefully observed and comprehended it.

The so-called Peak Heavenly Venerables corresponded to the Peerless Great Saints of the Chaos Void. Compared to Peerless Great Saints, Peak Heavenly Reverends did not have an inner Universe to rely on, but in terms of the path of Chaos evolution and power, they were ahead of Peerless Great Saints.

Every Peak Heavenly Venerable of the Six Ancient Kingdoms created their own offensive and defensive means on the Chaos theoretical path they walked.

For example, the "Profound Yin Thirteen Slashes" was created by a Peak Heavenly Venerable of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom; each slash was enough to heavily injure an ordinary Heavenly Venerable, and the final few slashes could even kill a normal Heavenly Venerable.

"Remarkable."

Lin Yuan exclaimed in admiration while comprehending.

If the path of Chaos power evolution was divided into three levels, then the Chaotic Great Saints of the Chaos Void were at the first level.

The Peerless Great Saints were at the second level, as for the Peak Heavenly Venerables of the Six Ancient Kingdoms in this Origin World, they stood at the third level.

The third level of the Chaos evolution path could already be considered as condensing one's own Dao fruit, no longer being a mere path.

"Unfortunately, the truly profound legacies of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom basically cannot be passed out." Lin Yuan sighed.

This "Profound Yin Thirteen Slashes" was also circulated quite widely among the Heavenly Reverends of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, which was why Lin Yuan was able to find a copy in the two Heavenly Reverends' world secret treasures.

"However, the harvest this time is already huge."

Lin Yuan looked at the numerous Legacy secret techniques in the world secret treasures. There were four other secret techniques of the same level as the "Profound Yin Thirteen Slashes," and as for slightly weaker normal Heavenly Venerable level legacies, there were dozens of them.

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable naturally also gathered the strengths of a hundred schools. Being able to Cultivate to the realm of Heavenly Venerable was basically impossible by cultivating behind closed doors; they had all comprehended countless Legacy secret techniques and finally found their own paths.

"Comprehending these Legacy secret techniques, I can clearly feel that my Dao of Taiyin is much more 'abundant'."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. This abundance was not an abundance in power, but a certain essential abundance. All along, Lin Yuan's Taiyang had surpassed his Taiyin.

Even with the mutual transformation of Taiyang and Taiyin, overall, Taiyin had always been lagging behind.

"I wonder what kind of Great Dao is recorded in that "Profound Yin Secret Canon" of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom?" Lin Yuan looked forward to it quite a bit in his heart.

The "Profound Yin Secret Canon" was the supreme secret canon of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, originating from the Dark Yin Ancestor, benchmarking the supreme Legacy of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom.

Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, Imperial Capital.

At the Prince's Mansions of Northern Yin and Ji Han, the true bodies of the two Experts opened their eyes.

As Heavenly Reverends, as long as they were willing to serve the Ancient Kingdom, they were basically conferred as princes and possessed a prince's mansion in the imperial capital.

"That Milky Way actually became a Heavenly Venerable?" Ji Han Heavenly Venerable still found it somewhat hard to believe until now. The shackles that the core imperial family of the Six Ancient Kingdoms could not cross for long years were actually broken on Milky Way.

"Northern Yin."

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable immediately descended an Incarnation to the Northern Yin Prince's Mansion to discuss subsequent matters with Northern Yin Celestial Venerable.

Inside the Northern Yin Prince's Mansion.

In a pavilion, Northern Yin Celestial Venerable sat there, while Ji Han Heavenly Venerable sat opposite.

"Northern Yin, what do you think we should do now?"

Ji Han Heavenly Venerable immediately asked.

The two Heavenly Reverends made a move in secret, but in the end gained nothing, and their main combat Physical Bodies were even left behind.

"What to do?"

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable sighed inwardly. If he had known earlier that Milky Way Heavenly Lord was so monstrous, he would never have had any ideas about the Black Jade Nest.

Originally, they thought that Galaxy Great Venerable taking charge of the Black Jade Nest would cause this first-rate treasured land to fall into weakness, but unexpectedly, not only was it not weak, it was even much stronger than when Chiyang Heavenly Venerate was stationed there.

Chiyang Heavenly Venerate's strength was already close to a Peak Heavenly Venerable, but his methods leaned toward frontal attack, at most only capable of heavily injuring the two of them.

As for stalling them? That could not be done.

And Lin Yuan's suppression by the outer Universe firmly restricted the two Heavenly Reverends.

In a place like the Black Jade Nest, restriction capabilities were much more important than frontal attacks.

"There's no other way; we can only confess the truth to the Emperor." Northern Yin Celestial Venerable thought for a moment and spoke.

"Confess the truth to the Emperor?" Ji Han Heavenly Venerable fell into silence.

This meant they would definitely be punished by the Emperor. Making a move on a first-rate treasured land without authorization and breaking the unwritten rules of the two Ancient Kingdoms—even if the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom only put on a show, they would not let them off easily.

"Not confessing? Waiting for the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom to hold us accountable with our personal weapons?"

Northern Yin Celestial Venerable glanced at Ji Han Heavenly Venerable.

Although both of them had their main combat Physical Bodies annihilated, their personal weapons and armaments were still there.

In the Six Ancient Kingdoms, the personal weapons and armaments of Heavenly Venerable level Experts were extremely recognizable. Relying on these personal weapons and armaments, it was enough to determine that the two Heavenly Reverends had sneaked into the Black Jade Nest.

Not to mention that Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable displayed their own strength inside the Black Jade Nest. It only required a Heavenly Venerable good at the Dao of time to go there, trace back the scenes, and they could likewise be ferreted out.

"Can we make a deal with that Milky Way Heavenly Lord and ask him not to spread this matter out?" Ji Han Heavenly Venerable pondered for a moment and spoke.

"A deal." Northern Yin Celestial Venerable thought about it, "Then let's give it a try."

So far, only the three Heavenly Reverends knew about this matter. As long as Milky Way Heavenly Lord didn't speak of it, outsiders would not be clear about it.

Black Jade Nest.

Lin Yuan was comprehending the harvested spoils of war.

Suddenly he raised his head to look into the distance.

Hum.

At the border of the two Ancient Kingdoms, an Incarnation of Lin Yuan arrived.

In the distance, the Incarnations of Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable were also standing there.

"What do you want with me?" Lin Yuan glanced at the two Heavenly Reverends of the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom and said casually.

"Milky Way Heavenly Lord." Northern Yin Celestial Venerable looked at Lin Yuan, "Can today's matter be concealed?"

"Concealed?" Lin Yuan knew clearly why Northern Yin Celestial Venerable wanted him to conceal it, "What can you give me?"

"As long as Milky Way Heavenly Lord conceals today's matter, then Ji Han and I will owe Milky Way Heavenly Lord a favor." Northern Yin Celestial Venerable spoke.

"Right, owe you a favor." Ji Han Heavenly Venerable also said from the side.

"Just a favor?" Lin Yuan looked at the two Heavenly Reverends.

Stopping the two Heavenly Reverends from invading the Black Jade Nest and finally keeping their main combat Physical Bodies behind would also be awarded a considerable amount of merit in the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom.

And with these merits, Lin Yuan could completely exchange for more Blazing Sun Legacy secret techniques in the Blazing Sun Treasury.

"Then what do you want, Milky Way Heavenly Lord?" Northern Yin Celestial Venerable asked.

"Profound Yin Secret Canon." Lin Yuan said directly.

"Impossible." Northern Yin Celestial Venerable immediately shook his head, "I have already sworn an oath to the Ancestor; it is impossible to pass out this Legacy."

"In that case, you have no value in negotiating with me." Lin Yuan's figure directly vanished.

Trading with Heavenly Reverends of an enemy country inherently carried risks, and afterwards, it was easy for the other party to manipulate and threaten one with it.

If there was a supreme Legacy like the "Profound Yin Secret Canon," Lin Yuan wouldn't mind taking a little risk.

But obviously, Northern Yin Celestial Venerable and Ji Han Heavenly Venerable simply could not produce such items that could move Lin Yuan.

So Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to continue negotiating and trading with them.

Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom Imperial Capital.

Lin Yuan walked out of the Prince's Mansion.

"Killing the main combat Physical Bodies of two Heavenly Reverends from the enemy country, according to the merit exchange standards established by the Ancient Kingdom, each Heavenly Venerable's main combat Physical Body is worth five hundred thousand merits."

"The main combat Physical Bodies of two Heavenly Reverends amount to one million merits."

Lin Yuan estimated inwardly.

You must know that previously in the battlefields of the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain, Lin Yuan turned the tide with his own strength, and the merits he ultimately obtained were only a little over one hundred thousand.

"Let's go."

Naturally, Lin Yuan would not leave his merits unclaimed; he directly headed to the imperial palace to see the Emperor of the Ancient Kingdom.

Inside the grand hall.

The Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom looked at Lin Yuan and said with a smile, "Milky Way, what is the matter for which you seek me?"

"The Black Jade Nest under my charge was sneaked into by two Heavenly Reverends from the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom."

Lin Yuan said truthfully.

"Two Heavenly Reverends sneaked in?" The Emperor's expression changed slightly.

The black jade of the Black Jade Nest had a great tempering effect on the mental will of the Heavenly Venerable level, so it was not surprising that it attracted Heavenly Venerable level Experts.

Previously, the Black Jade Nest was garrisoned by Chiyang Heavenly Venerate. The latter was a senior Heavenly Venerable with rich experience, and enemy Heavenly Reverends had no certainty of sneaking in, so they didn't make any major moves.

"Which two Heavenly Reverends?"

The Emperor asked.

"Northern Yin and Ji Han." Lin Yuan said.

There were only so many Heavenly Reverends in the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, so they were very easy to recognize.

"It's them."

The Emperor nodded slightly: "No matter, let this be a lesson this time. I will give you some punishment on the surface, and still let you guard the Black Jade Nest."

The Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and spoke.

The Black Jade Nest nurtured rare black jade, and being plundered once was not too big a deal. The Emperor also wanted to use this incident to temper Lin Yuan.

As for the lost black jade? Over a long timeline, it could not be considered a serious loss. After all, the Black Jade Nest was still there and could still continuously nurture rare black jade.

"Punishment?"

Lin Yuan was slightly startled, immediately realizing that the Emperor must have misunderstood, thinking that he failed to guard the Black Jade Nest.

"The black jade was not plundered away by those two Heavenly Reverends."

Lin Yuan said immediately.

"Not plundered away?"

The Emperor looked at Lin Yuan, his brows furrowing.

"Northern Yin and Ji Han were kept behind by me. The main combat Physical Bodies of the two Heavenly Reverends added together should be one million merits, right?"

Lin Yuan looked at the Emperor and said. The issuance of merits involving the Heavenly Venerable level had to be nodded off by the Emperor.

The Emperor of Lieyang Ancient Kingdom was still wondering why the two Heavenly Reverends who sneaked in did not plunder the black jade, but upon hearing the subsequent explanation, his expression looked at Lin Yuan with complete astonishment.

"What did you say?"
