"That is correct. This matter absolutely must not affect Father in any way. You must know, my brothers are all watching me," the Ferocious Emperor said. "Right now in the Heaven Realm, it is an extraordinary period. The major sects must unite closely. If the fact that I instructed you to act against the Feather Emperor is exposed, it would be fine if there is no evidence, but once there is evidence and the Feather Emperor is still alive and goes up to the Heavenly Court to complain, the Eternal Heavenly Lord, the Chaos Heavenly Lord, the Slaughter Heavenly Lord, and the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord will all successively sanction us. By then, it will arouse public outrage, and many sects will submit petitions to the Heavenly Court, knowing that if one falls, the rest are in danger."
"We have discussed this point long ago. Now Hua Wenchang, you must be clearly informed. Your Hua family must strike first to occupy the righteous name, and we can only secretly act to kill," the Fierce Emperor said again.
"We understand this point. Your actions represent the Heavenly Court. If you kill the Feather Emperor, then it represents the Heavenly Court starting to act against the major sects. The impact caused by this would be a consequence even Heavenly Lords cannot bear. When investigating the responsibility, you will probably not escape death," Hua Wenchang said. "I deeply know the severity of this matter and there will absolutely be no half a mistake. In fact, many powerhouses of our Hua family have long planned to imprison the Feather Emperor and force him to step down, but we had never thought of killing him. After all, he is the highest combat power of our Feather Transformation Sect."
"What are you afraid of? Killing him will allow your Hua family to truly take charge of the power, with the Disaster Heavenly Lord as your backing," the Dark Emperor said.
"That is natural." The Ferocious Emperor nodded. "Killing the Feather Emperor means the Feather Transformation Sect and the One sect will no longer have any hostility hereafter. Moreover, I will provide you with many magical treasures, cultivation materials, and even give you an opportunity to visit the Book Realm once to view the martial scriptures of the emperors."
"Is this true?"
"Absolutely no false words."
"Alright then, it is a deal!"
Hua Wenchang said, "When do you want to kill the Feather Emperor?"
"Naturally, the sooner the better. Solve that Feng Yuan together with him. Within ten days. Because after ten days is the Heavenly Court's genius battle. Feng Yuan's strength is extremely high, and he might ruin our plan, the plan to ally with the Eternal Heavenly Lord through marriage."
The Ferocious Emperor issued the order.
"Very well, I will go back now, take a day or two to prepare and discuss with the many powerhouses of the Hua family, and then find an excuse to draw out the Feather Emperor. He will enter your ambush circle and be killed in one stroke. However, this person has cultivated to the realm of longevity matching heaven and earth. He has a perception of any danger. The moment he moves slightly, no one can kill him."
"Hmph, I thought of this matter long ago, so I took out a Salvation Holy King Grand Monarch Talisman. After burning it, it blinds the heavenly secrets." The Ferocious Emperor stretched out his hand. "This was refined by the holy grade immortal artifact Heavenly Lord of Salvation. You take it and fuse it into your body. Not only will it enhance your own strength, but it can also allow you to comprehend the Holy Method of Salvation. I paid a heavy price for this talisman."
The Heavenly Lord of Salvation was the holy grade immortal artifact Salvation, which the Disaster Heavenly Lord spent several epochs refining. Its strength was almost comparable to his own.
The talismans refined from this level of magical treasure surpassed the mortal world and possessed immense power.
Hua Wenchang's body shook. He naturally knew the benefits of this level of talisman. Taking the talisman, he believed that the Ferocious Emperor truly bled to want the Feather Emperor dead.
"Good, since the Ferocious Emperor has such sincerity, then I will not be polite. I will take my leave now and send you a message as soon as possible." As he spoke, he flew up and disappeared.
"Ferocious Emperor, is this Hua Wenchang reliable?"
Seeing Hua Wenchang leave, the Dark Emperor suddenly spoke.
"The Hua family has long wanted to ascend to power. This time I merely seized an opportunity. I see that Hua Wenchang's killing intent has already risen," the Ferocious Emperor said. "That is why I bled and gave him the Salvation talisman, to put his mind at ease. Killing the Feather Emperor is no small matter. All the old fogeys of the Hua family must act to pave the way for us. The Feather Emperor's counterattack will definitely kill many emperors. Having these people of the Hua family be the scapegoats is necessary."
"Ferocious Emperor, although that Feng Yuan is a minor figure, he must not be underestimated. The magical treasures on his body are stronger one after another. The Totem Jar is an unparalleled heavy treasure, the Ghost Martial Holy Diagram, the corpse of the Heaven Zen Buddha Emperor, all have huge functions for us, their value not inferior to the Feather Emperor, and must also be obliterated."
"This kid has great destiny, but this is the end of it for him. He is ultimately a minor figure, his cultivation base is his fatal flaw."
"Let me personally deal with this kid. I will burn him alive using the True Sun Refining Art," the Fierce Emperor of the Sun God Palace said.
"Good, let us prepare. That kid is nothing. The Feather Emperor is the true great enemy, a supreme powerhouse whose longevity matches heaven and earth. To kill him, we must also be prepared to pay a sufficient price."
"That king grade immortal artifact on the Feather Emperor's body, the Sanctuary Sword, is a truly good item. This time you, Ferocious Emperor, are bound to get it."
"Hehehe, that is of course. I have coveted this woman for a long time. You probably do not know yet why I have always wanted to seize this woman. It is because this woman is the key to opening the ancient Sanctuary." The Ferocious Emperor let out a sinister laugh. "To tell you the truth, the Feather Emperor is the powerhouse most hopeful to advance to Heavenly Lord since Muye Huang. Therefore, he must be strangled in the cradle. Once he advances to Heavenly Lord, no one will be able to contain him anymore."
"The ancient Sanctuary truly exists?"
The Dark Emperor, the Fierce Emperor, the Swallow Emperor, and the Mind Emperor were all greatly shocked.
"That is correct. The ancient Sanctuary was the ruler of the Heaven Realm of the previous generation. It did not perish, but merely escaped into a distant space-time. Even a Heavenly Lord cannot deduce its location. Only a Immortal King can discern some clues. It is a pity that the three great Immortal Kings of the Heaven Realm now, Creation, Origin, and Truth, have all disappeared, and no one can find the ancient Sanctuary. However, if the Sanctuary Sword in the Feather Emperor's hands is forged to the highest realm, it can sense the location of the Sanctuary. The number one treasure trove of the Heaven Realm is the ancient Sanctuary."
The Ferocious Emperor laughed loudly, appearing extremely gloomy and mysterious.
"Then let us begin our preparations."
"Is the Soul-Severing Spirit-Slaying Emperors Life-Taking Formation prepared?"
"It has already been practiced flawlessly. Killing the Feather Emperor is bound to succeed."
…
Many emperors rubbed their fists and wiped their palms, preparing to act, their killing intent soaring straight up to the clouds.
Alternate Dimension.
In a marvelous world, treasure Qi filled everywhere. That viscous treasure Qi was like mercury, heavy and gorgeous. With a slight flow, rumbling sounds of treasure echoed in the air.
This treasure Qi was formed by the convergence of the spiritual Qi of countless magical treasures over an unknown number of hundreds of millions of years.
Every trace of treasure Qi transmitted out was a peerless material for forging magical treasures.
Growing among these treasure Qi were countless magical treasures, numbering like the sands of the Ganges, all of which were immortal artifacts. They roamed in the treasure Qi as if living in paradise.
What was even more marvelous was that immortal artifacts could unite with each other in pairs, a male artifact spirit and a female artifact spirit engaged in dual cultivation, drawing upon the treasure Qi, could produce small magical treasures, just like cultivators giving birth to children.
This was a world of magical treasures.
"Treasure Realm."
Rumble!
In the depths of the Treasure Realm, countless formidable immortal artifacts were wandering. Suddenly, an oddly shaped magical treasure in the form of an eyeball appeared. This magic treasure gave off a formidable power, causing many king grade immortal artifacts to cast sidelong glances.
"The Eye of Insight has appeared. Could it have discovered something? Is it going to report?"
"He is responsible for monitoring the entire Treasure Realm and receiving many ascending magical treasures from the Heaven Realm into the Treasure Realm. Something must have happened this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be hurrying to the Hall of Myriad Treasures to alarm the magnates."
"The cultivation of the Eye of Insight is getting higher and higher. He can already rival the number one king grade immortal artifact of the Heaven Realm, the Spear of Judgment."
"I really hope the two of them have a grand battle for us to see."
"I actually hope that the Spear of Judgment, the Sword of Loss, and the Spear of Vengeance all become members of our Treasure Realm. Many of our magical treasures should unite and not be enslaved by cultivators. We should enslave cultivators!"
Within the Treasure Realm, many powerful king grade immortal artifacts, some having magic power equivalent to Saints, some matching supreme emperors, were discussing animatedly.
The magical treasure in the form of an eyeball, the Eye of Insight, suddenly changed its body and transformed into a towering man. Walking in the Treasure Realm, time flew past. In a short while, he arrived in a broad hall. On the hall were written three large characters, Hall of Myriad Treasures. In the depths of the hall, several formidable auras hovered among each other. They seemed to be the auras of holy grade immortal artifacts, great existences equivalent to the Heavenly Lord level.
These were the true controllers of the entire Treasure Realm.
It was exactly because of these controllers that the Treasure Realm was not destroyed by the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, such a formidable world composed of magical treasures would have any powerful existence drooling with desire.
"Several ancestors, a strange matter has been discovered."
The man formed by the Eye of Insight entered the hall and immediately started calling out.
Only after a long time did a voice awaken. "What matter?"
"I found another master who has cultivated the method to connect with the Treasure Realm. However, after that treasure Qi was transported out, there was actually not the slightest feedback. It seems someone is stealing the treasure Qi, yet has severed the connection to the Treasure Realm. Should we conduct a thorough investigation, capture the person stealing the treasure Qi, and directly kill them?"
The Eye of Insight said.
"Such a thing has happened? Let me observe the cosmic cycles." A grand voice resounded.
"Staff of Legend, there is no need to check. That person, I know who he is." Another grand voice echoed.
"Oh? Wings of Freedom? Who is that person? These days, I have been comprehending supreme mysteries, roaming together with the Great Dao, and have not been able to observe the myriad matters of the outside world."
"That person ascended from the lower realm. My sensing of him has also been intermittent. This person was with the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord, possessing great opportunities and destiny. And recently, this person has obtained the protection of an extremely formidable figure. Even I am unable to sense his existence."
"That formidable figure protecting him, could it be a Heavenly Lord? Which Heavenly Lord could it be? Wings of Freedom, with your cultivation, a grand figure capable of blinding your perception? It must definitely be a figure who has lived through many Primal Chaos Epochs. An expert of the Heavenly Lord level like this is probably no obscure person. Could it be one of those few from the Heavenly Court, or some old fogeys from the alien realms?"
