In the Heaven Realm. Heaven Breaking Island.
There were hundreds of warriors with white helmets standing on either side of a long, jade-white staircase. Each warrior carried a long, silver-white spear on his back. All of them had calm and handsome faces.
The jade white staircase led to a vast hall. The hall was shining with a golden light and was hidden in the misty sea of clouds. Within it, he could faintly see the pavilions, the buildings, and the Immortal Traces.
In the center of the grand hall sat the Celestial Emperor. Below him were the four great Celestial Sovereigns, the various immortals, the celestial officials, and the celestial generals. All of them stood silently within the hall, waiting for the Celestial Emperor to speak.
The Celestial Emperor was in deep thought with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a white light shone from somewhere in Heaven Realm, followed by the hall that seemed to tremble slightly.
When the Heavenly Emperor opened his eyes, his expression did not change much.
"The white light just now was a sign that only occurred once in a thousand years in the Heaven Realm. With the appearance of the heavenly phenomena, I can see that something strange is definitely happening in the lower realms."
The immortals were shocked, but no one dared to say anything. They all knew that the next sentence of the Celestial Emperor definitely had a hidden meaning.
As expected, the Celestial Emperor's eyelids twitched as he asked his highness, "Eastlord, a few days ago when you went down to the mortal world, did you gain anything?"
The Empyrean from the East was the old man whose aura alone in the Su Clan estate had caused Su Yitian to tremble. He walked out of the immortal class and reported:
"Your Majesty, this subject has indeed discovered something in the lower realms. I just don't know if it has anything to do with this Celestial Phenomenon operation."
"Oh?" Although the Celestial Emperor had known this for a long time, he still asked, "I wonder what Sky Sovereign Mu thinks?"
The Eastern Sky Sovereign's name was Mu Zhongliu. It was the descendant of the Sword God, Mu Chen, who had ascended to the Dao a thousand years ago.
The Celestial Emperor usually called him the Eastern Sky Sovereign. When he was slightly angry, he would add the word 'Mu' in front of the Sky Sovereign. When he was in a critical situation or when he was angry, he would call him 'Mu Zhongliu'. If they were unable to redeem their anger, they would call him 'middle-class old man'.
Mu Zhongliu was an Empyrean for many years and knew the habits of the Celestial Emperor. If that was the case, then that meant that the Celestial Emperor was only putting on an act. That white light might not be as terrifying as the omens that appeared in the sky.
Mu Zhongliu paused for a moment, before replying, "Subordinate has probed into the lower realms, and found out that the God of Slaughter, who harmed all living beings in the three realms, has been reborn into the Su Family, one of the top four families of the Liu-Li Empire. And her mother is precisely the Su Clan's concubine, Su Yuewu. "
The Heavenly Emperor nodded his head, "I have heard of the names of the four great families. However, as far as I know, although that woman from the Su Clan is married, she has never lost her virginity.
Mu Zhongliu cursed in his heart, "The Celestial Emperor has already made people figure out the truth, but he still wants to hear the report from me." It's just a test of my loyalty. It's really too treacherous. "
He replied, "This subject has investigated thoroughly. That young miss of the Su family is still a virgin. She accidentally ate a strange fruit and gave birth to Su Yitian."
The Celestial Emperor nodded and replied, "God of Slaughter, Batian. In the past, he dominated the Three Realms and caused bloodshed for a thousand miles. My Heaven Realm was shocked by this as well. Therefore, he ordered the Heaven Realm's Seven Stars War God to combine and strangle him, sealing his spirit on the Cloud Ancient Tree's rein.
"Twenty years ago, there was chaos in the Heaven Realm. During that time, the heavens accidentally entered the Cloud Desolate Land and broke the rein on the Cloud Desolate Ancient Tree, causing the God Slaying Soul to turn into a fruit and fall into the human world."
More than half of the deities in the palace knew about the chaos in the Heaven Realm mentioned by the Heavenly Emperor. However, the Heavenly Emperor had never kept this matter a secret.
Now that he had heard the words of the Celestial Emperor himself, he was extremely shocked and immediately revealed a sorrowful expression. At this moment, the entire hall was filled with the sadness of the wind and the rain.
Of course, Mu Zhongliu knew about this as well. However, he was aware of the Heavenly Emperor's habit and knew that he did not say anything. Instead, he quietly waited for the Heavenly Emperor to continue speaking.
The Heavenly Emperor paused before continuing, "This fruit is made from the soul of a god of death, and its killing intent is too strong, causing it to look extremely ugly. Naturally, mortals would not be willing to eat it. However, after the fruit fell into the human world, it would no longer be bound by spiritual energy and would be absorbing the essence of the sun and moon day and night. The fruit was actually full, and the hostility had dissipated quite a bit. The Heaven Realm had sent people to look for him many times but to no avail. He gradually forgot about it.
He had never thought that this fruit would actually be subdued by a mortal and even give birth to a boy. This child only used a year's time to grow to the age of ten or so years old. The reincarnation of an assassin was different from that of a mortal.
I have heard that every time the God of Slaughter was reincarnated, he would awaken all the memories of his past life in just three years. It has already been more than a year since this child was born. I am worried that he might awaken earlier and cause another ruckus in the Three Realms, causing mistakes in the lives of everyone. Paying close attention to your beloved one, what sort of countermeasures do you have? "
Mu Zhongliu immediately requested, "This humble subject is willing to lead a few men to the lower realms to apprehend the reincarnation of the God of Slaughter, Su Yitian!"
The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand, "Because of this matter, the Eastern Sky Sovereign has already descended to the mortal world once. I don't want to trouble you anymore. Furthermore, Su Yitian's cultivation is still too low, so there's no need for you to send out anyone with the strength of the Sky Sovereign. "
On the other hand, Mu Zhongliang already knew what the Celestial Emperor was thinking. He knew that the Celestial Emperor was trying to lure him down to the mortal world to capture him. Thus, he retreated.
When the deities in the hall saw this situation, they all invited him to battle. They had been living in the Heaven Realm for a long time and had been in closed door training all day. He knew from the mouth of the Celestial Emperor that the fearsome God of Slaughter was now just a half-grown boy and should not be a threat to him.
The Celestial Emperor was noncommittal. With a faint smile, he rejected everyone with a flat voice.
Until a lazy voice said, "This old man is willing to go and capture the God of Slaughter."
The immortals in the palace all called themselves subjects of the Celestial Emperor, but this person called himself an old man and was extremely disrespectful to the Celestial Emperor. However, all the deities in the palace became accustomed to it and began to discuss with each other.
The Heavenly Emperor also disapproved as he said joyfully, "I am waiting for this beloved one to request for my fate. Come, come, let's prepare a banquet to practice the art of capturing demons for this beloved one's lower realm."
That person said coldly: "I appreciate the Heavenly Emperor's good intentions. It's just that this old man has always been tired of such red tape. To tell you the truth, this old man only asked for orders to relax in the lower realms, time is hard to guarantee. Maybe one day, when I am in a good mood, I will capture that God Slaying kid and return to request for orders. "
This person's words and actions were extremely arrogant, but the Heavenly Emperor didn't care. He only smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, my beloved, to quiet you down."
That person harrumphed. Without saying goodbye, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
After the Heavenly Emperor left, his expression became even more solemn and solemn. The deities did not dare to breathe too loudly. However, they heard the Heavenly Emperor say softly, "Today's meeting ends here. Everyone, please go back."
The immortals heaved a sigh of relief, bid their farewells to the Celestial Emperor, then waved their sleeves and left.
The Heavenly Emperor sighed as he looked at Mu Zhongliu, who had yet to leave the palace, and said with a cold expression, "I can't be at ease having that old fellow stay in Heaven Realm. It's just that this person has received a lot of benefits from his ancestors. I can only find an excuse to have him descend into the underworld, and not get annoyed when I can't see him. "
Mu Zhongliu disapproved in his heart, but he still agreed, "Heaven and earth are glorious. This man should have already expelled his immortal books. However, his ancestors are still around, so we must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson."
The Celestial Emperor nodded. "You did well. This Emperor also ordered you to descend into the mortal world as soon as possible to supervise that old fellow."
Mu Zhongliu accepted the order and left.
As for the old man, he didn't immediately go down into the world but returned to his home. With a wave of his sleeve, the crowd opened it with a creak. He entered the inner hall, took out a set of snow-white immortal clothes, and changed into a set of black cloth. At the same time, he tied a red wine gourd around his waist.
After doing all this, the old man closed the door of the manor and flew up into the air. He saw Mu Zhongliu walking slowly towards him. The old man had no choice but to land on the ground and softly say:
"Old Mu, are you here to send me off?"
Mu Zhongliu nodded and sighed, saying, "Old Jiang, if it wasn't for you, why do you have to go against the Celestial Emperor? Back then, because of the matter with the Lin Family, you and the Heavenly Emperor got into an argument, and the Heavenly Emperor removed you from the position of Heavenly Emperor. Now that you've embarrassed yourself in front of the Heavenly Emperor, aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Emperor will cause trouble for you? "
That old man snorted and said: "I am alone in this river, and I also have the Profound Heaven Token from the previous generation of Heavenly Emperors, I guess he can't do anything to me, but you have to be careful, you have your own family, you have to be careful, and don't let the Heavenly Emperor get any leads, and cause trouble for you."
Mu Zhongliu nodded. "I can care about that, but my brother still wants to advise you. The lower realms are not as safe as you think. There are a lot of powerful people around."
River Tide replied with an 'oh', and asked with some curiosity: "Are there very powerful people in the lower realms? Stronger than you? "
Mu Zhongliu spat, "Of course, you're not as good as me. As for you, you might not be able to tell."
Jiang Feng said with anger: "How dare you look down on this old man. Although this old man has left his position as an Empyrean, my cultivation is still there. If you don't believe me, then let's fight for 300 rounds and see who wins!"
Mu Zhongliu hurriedly said, "Don't be rash, let me tell you something. The two Heavenly Generals sent by the Heavenly Emperor to descend to the mortal world have been destroyed in the lower realms. Those two are already at the peak of Black Rank and are considered intermediate in strength among the Heavenly Soldiers. This kind of strength, could it not be terrifying in the lower realms? "
Jiang Feng asked with a bit of shock: "If this is true, could it be the reincarnation of the god of death?"
"That's absolutely impossible. That reincarnated killing god is only a blue rank expert now, so he's nothing to be afraid of." His mother, on the other hand, needs to be on her guard. "
"Old Mu, you've lived for so many years, why are you so afraid of a woman? A mere woman, I can subdue her in three moves. "
"Don't laugh at me for now. As far as I know, that woman is already at the peak of Black Xuan."
"What?" Senior Mo Xuan? A girl? " Jiang Feng was truly shocked.
"What is it? Scared? Let alone the human world, there are actually mortals here. Their spiritual energy is extremely thin, and even on our Heaven Breaking Island, how many women have the strength of Mo Xuan? Don't you dare underestimate a woman! "
"Haha, this old man would like to meet such an extraordinary woman." The river tide laughed and did not greet Mu Zhongliu. With a flash, he disappeared.
