Looking back now, it seems as if the first time he met Yao Yan was just yesterday. At that time, he was still a dying soul. He really had never expected anything at that time. He was even wary of everything in the outside world and suspected everyone... naturally including Yao two eventually reached a cooperation through a "deal". After that, he gradually accepted this younger generation of the same clan and even treated him as his own son...
"Are you reminiscing about the past?" Yao Yan took a sip of the tea in the cup, then noticed Yao Lao's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's just a little hard to believe... Even though the facts are right in front of me, I never thought that the young man who was a little fond of beauty back then could become a true Dou Di and create a legend in just thirty or forty years!" Yao Lao said with a sigh, and then he laughed.
Young Mu Ai, which boy doesn't like beautiful women... Yao Yan was not embarrassed when he heard it. Even now, he still liked beautiful women. After traveling through time and space and being reborn, it would be too boring if he just buried his head in hard practice. The scenery along the way has always been a part of the practice.
If you only indulge in cultivation, even if you really transcend, you will end up alone... and the final outcome is likely to be destruction.
He raised his hand and gently cut open the void on one side, took out a milky white ball of light, and then handed it to Yao Lao. In the other's puzzled eyes, he explained: "This is the city where I have lived since I was a child. When the Soul Clan destroyed the Medicine Clan, I saved it, which can be regarded as preserving some seeds for the Medicine Clan."
Yao Lao was stunned when he heard this, and his hands trembled slightly. Then he carefully took the ball of light and immersed his soul power into it. Suddenly, a city with tens of thousands of people appeared in his mind. The people of the Yao Clan in it were all shrouded in nightmare fog. They were not affected by the demise of the Yao Clan at all, and lived and worked in peace and contentment in the illusion created by Yao Yan.
Yao Yan ignored Yao Lao's excitement and continued, "I no longer have any attachment to the Yao Clan. I only helped to save this city because some of them took care of me when I was young. I have to repay the favor, especially when I have the ability... As for how to deal with them, it's up to you."
"Are you going to be a hands-off boss?" Yao Lao looked at Yao Yan with a helpless look and said.
Yao Yan nodded generously and said with a smile: "You also know that my father is from the Soul Clan. Now I have inherited the position of the Soul Clan's patriarch. It is not appropriate to keep these Medicine Clan members. It is better to hand them over to you. With your strength, you can completely rebuild the Medicine Clan and even serve as the next Medicine Clan patriarch."
"You became the patriarch of the Soul Clan?!" Yao Lao was really shocked this time and looked at Yao Yan in disbelief.
As a newly promoted Dou Di, if Yao Yan becomes the patriarch of the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace, he will be doomed to fail. Who in the entire Dou Qi Continent can stop him?
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them and will not let them continue to do evil in Douqi Continent." Yao Yan knew what Yao Lao was worried about and assured him, "Including the Soul Palace, they will completely disappear from Douqi Continent."
"Okay~" Upon hearing this, Yao Lao sighed softly. He always felt that the reality nowadays was a bit magical. It was no longer the Douqi Continent that he once knew.
“Don’t relax your training just because the Soul Palace disappears. There are other worlds besides Dou Qi, and there are even higher realms above Dou Di. The road ahead is still long, and I’m waiting to go and see it with you.” Yao Yan looked at Yao Lao and chuckled.
After saying this, he raised his hand and sent out a soul message, infusing some information about the universe into Yao Lao's soul.
"Is this the reason why the ancient Dou Emperor disappeared together?!" Yao Lao looked at Yao Yan with surprise and said.
"A part of it. If you want to enter the Great Thousand World, you have to practice hard. According to my calculations, the spatial force of the Great Thousand World should be more stable than that of the Douluo Continent. Only when your strength reaches the level of Douluo Emperor can you barely tear open a hole." Yao Yan nodded and said slowly.
The worlds are at different levels, so naturally the stability of the space varies greatly.
In the Douqi Continent, Dou Zong is enough to tear the space apart, but in the Vast World, only those who are above the Fifth Rank Supreme Realm are qualified to use the power of space, travel through space, or even tear space apart. This shows the gap between the two.
Yao Lao was silent for a while. He knew his own business. Although he had good talent, it was undoubtedly a pipe dream for him to break through to the Dou Emperor. If it was so easy to break through to the Dou Emperor, then the Soul Clan's patriarch, Soul Emperor Hun Tian, would not be so crazy.
"You don't need to worry about cultivation. After a while, I will reopen the channel to the universe and increase the energy of heaven and earth in the Douqi Continent. Then the Douqi Continent will be easier to practice Douqi." Yao Yan seemed to know what Yao Lao was worried about and continued.
He has already regarded the entire Douqi Continent as his base camp, so how can he not manage it well? These will become his team for conquering the world in the future.
"Why are you doing all this?" Yao Lao looked at Yao Yan with some curiosity. He didn't think that Yao Yan was a pushover. Even if he became an emperor, there was no need for him to pay so much for the Dou Qi Continent. The previous Dou Qi Emperors, after breaking through, almost all of them just patted their butts and left, but no one was like Yao Yan.
As for fame...Yao Yan doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do it for fame.
"Cai Lin and the others are all in Dou Qi Continent, I can't just abandon them~" Yao Yan said with a smile, and after a pause, he brought up a serious reason: "Secondly, there are so many powerful people in the world, and the forces are complicated. I plan to create a force, and the people of Dou Qi Continent are undoubtedly the most suitable."
At this moment, Yao Lao understood what Yao Yan meant and said with a smile, "Do you want Danta to join your camp?"
"Yes." Yao Yan nodded and said, "I plan to create a force called Heavenly Court!"
"This has been planned long ago!" Yao Lao thought of Yao Yan's fledgling power in the Black Horn Region, and his eyes looked a little strange. He suddenly doubted whether this kid Yao Yan had already known about the affairs of the Great Thousand World.
Sometimes, he really felt that Yao Yan had some evil nature... It would probably be appropriate for this kid to call himself the Evil Emperor.
Yao Yan smiled as a sign of agreement, then raised his cup and continued to drink tea, enjoying this rare leisure time. Ever since he was dragged on board by Hunxuzi, he had never been so relaxed. Even when he was with Cailin and others in the past, he always felt pressured in his heart. Now that all the pressure was gone, he felt relaxed.
Yao Lao had no intention of exploring Yao Yan's secret. He knew that Yao Yan's nature was not bad. He was still the young man he knew. He had just been wearing a mask on his face all these years, and now he had truly returned to his true self.
The two of them drank tea quietly, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
The afternoon sun shines through the window.
Warm and sunny.
quite a while.
Yao Yan then opened his mouth to invite, "I plan to marry the Cai Lin sisters, and would like to ask you to be our witness... You also know that I lost my parents when I was young, and my later teachers were people like Hun Xuzi. Now, you are the only one who can be considered an elder."
He looked at Yao Lao sincerely, and what he said was not against his heart. In his mind, Yao Lao was indeed the only elder with whom he had a blood relationship.
Yao Lao looked at Yao Yan for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay!"
……
A few days later, Izumo Empire.
In the presence of Yao Lao, Hai Bodong and others, Yao Yan held a wedding with Cai Lin and Cai Die, giving the two women a formal status. The wedding was not too grand, but rather simple, with only family members able to participate.
After the wedding, Cai Lin also restrained her temper and became gentle and considerate. The queen's temper seemed to be temporarily suppressed with the wedding. Although Cai Lin was usually quite domineering and arrogant, she was actually very conservative in her bones. She was the kind of classical woman who would take care of her husband and children.
This allowed Yaoyan to enjoy an extremely happy time.
During this period, Gu Xun'er learned about this and went to find Yao Yan once. Later, she met with Cai Lin. It was unknown what agreement the two reached in private, and then they left.
Just over a month after the wedding, Yao Yan married Gu Xun'er in the Gu clan. This wedding caused quite a stir, with people from all clans sent to watch the ceremony. Even the various forces in Zhongzhou knew about the Emperor's marriage and sent congratulatory gifts one after another, making the event extremely grand.
Cai Lin and other girls also knew about this, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding with Gu Xun'er and did not come to disturb her, allowing the wedding to take place smoothly.
Until the wedding night.
Yao Yan finally got the answer from Gu Xun'er: "After marriage, the odd numbers belong to her, and the even numbers belong to me!"
Hearing this, Yao Yan was furious and taught Gu Xun'er a severe lesson that night, making her understand that she could not withstand the wrath of a Dou Emperor by herself, and she had to find help.
As a result, this girl was very stubborn and persisted for half a month before she begged for mercy and admitted her fault.
After putting down the exhausted Gu Xun'er, Yao Yan rushed back to the Izumo Empire. In front of Caidie's confused eyes, he dragged Cai Lin into the secret room and beat her up for a month before getting a satisfactory answer.
……
……
In the blink of an eye, it was already three years later.
Today, the Douqi Continent has entered a new era, an era ruled by the Emperor of Heaven. The Heavenly Court created by the Emperor of Heaven hangs above all forces. All forces have joined in in various forms, forming a symbiotic relationship with the Heavenly Court. At the same time, it has also allowed the entire Douqi Continent to enter a rare era of peace.
One year after his marriage, Yao Yan stepped into the Endless Star Field to search for the spatial coordinates of the universe. He searched for more than a year but still found nothing. It was not until he came to the Sea of Nothingness that Void Tunyan had mentioned that he found some traces.
This is a nearly annihilated void, where the force of space is extremely chaotic and contains extremely terrifying energy, which has a strong corrosive effect on living things.
“No wonder Void Devouring Flame claimed that only a body of strange fire could reach this place…” Yao Yan intercepted a wisp of deathly gray energy, feeling the power contained in it, and thought to himself that this energy was filled with the aura of death. Even a Nine-Star Douluo might not be able to hold on for too long under this energy.
Only beings like Void Devouring Flame, which were born from the void, can enter this place to explore.
Following the memory of Void Devouring Flame, Yao Yan soon came to a dilapidated ancient relic. This place should have been formed after a small world was shattered. The remaining scale was not large, and there were broken walls and traces of the aftermath of the battle everywhere.
Even though tens of thousands of years have passed, the traces of those battles still retain a terrifying aura.
And the deeper you go, the more terrifying the breath becomes.
"Could this place be one of the main battlefields in ancient times?" Yao Yan guessed in his heart. He was not afraid of the pressure from the auras and flew directly to the deepest part. He could now walk through some places that the Void Devouring Flame dared not to touch as if it were flat ground. During the journey, he even picked up some broken weapons. Their materials were extremely precious and there was still some strange energy remaining in them. These energies were constantly corroding these remaining soldiers.
"The smell of the evil race from outside the domain~"
He paused in his heart, then opened the vertical pupil between his eyebrows. Under his gaze, the remaining energy on the broken weapons began to materialize, and wisps of black and red energy lingered on them like wriggling maggots.
"The remaining blood of a certain clan?"
Yao Yan guessed in his heart, and then a brilliant flame rose from his palm. He threw all the remaining soldiers he had picked up into it and burned them. Soon, a wisp of blood was extracted. The blood was filled with the breath of death, as if it could kill all life. It was extremely domineering.
Without much hesitation, he directly absorbed the strand of blood into the vertical pupil between his eyebrows and began to refine and devour it, extracting some memory fragments.
“Sword Emperor, don’t think that by killing me, the world you protect will be able to escape the fate of destruction. When our army arrives, whether it is the world you protect or the entire universe, it will become a paradise for our people to slaughter, hehehehe!!!”
Opposite him was a fighting emperor covered in blood and holding a knife. His breath was weak, but the edge of his sword was extremely sharp. Upon hearing the words, he didn't waste any time and slashed with his sword, instantly crushing the person who spoke. As he killed the opponent, his strength seemed to be exhausted, and his body began to fall apart. There was no trace of blood and fighting spirit in his flesh, as if this battle had exhausted everything.
Even the knife in his hand was gradually covered with cracks and shattered along with him.
"Sword Emperor...Demon Killing Clan..." Yao Yan whispered in his heart. The memory fragments extracted from this strand of blood were very few, but it also made him know some things. This place was indeed one of the main battlefields in ancient times.
With a thought, a vast amount of soul power instantly surged out from his brows, radiating out in all directions with his feet as the center, and began to collect the blood and backup plans left behind by the fallen Demon Killer Clan Emperor.
The evil race from outside the domain is different from the creatures in the big world. Even if they are chopped into minced meat and their souls are crushed, they can still live tenaciously, just like the indestructible cockroaches. They can even recover quickly just by being nourished by the flesh and blood of living creatures.
"Found it!" A gleam of light flashed in Yao Yan's eyes, and his soul power shook violently, instantly shattering the entire ancient ruins, revealing a black and red fetal egg in the deepest part.
The fetal egg was about the size of a fist and was in a state of death, without a trace of life. In terms of breath alone, it was almost indistinguishable from a piece of broken stone on one side. If it weren't for Yao Yan's special physique, he would not have been able to find the backup plan left by the Demon Killing Emperor in this chaotic void.
"Exhausted the power and fell into a deep sleep... I'm lucky~" A faint smile appeared on Yao Yan's lips, and he took the black and red fetal egg into his palm. The next moment, a terrifying devouring force emerged from his palm, emitting a strange blood-red light, absorbing everything in the fetal egg.
As if sensing the danger, the extremely weak Demon Killer Emperor also woke up and let out a scream of shock and anger: "Soul Devouring Clan? No, you are not from the Soul Devouring Clan, who are you?!"
Yao Yan ignored the other party and sucked away all the remaining power of the Demon Killing Emperor. Even the remaining soul was imprisoned and devoured by the chains of the vertical pupil.
Different from the memory fragments absorbed in the past.
The Demon Killer Emperor's memory is quite complete.
Most critical.
It contains the spatial coordinates to the Great Thousand World and the spatial coordinates of several worlds around the Douqi Continent!! (End of this chapter)
