The martial arts competition organized by the five major families is a big event in the Tianfeng Sea. Therefore, as they get closer to the Wuhui Island, more and more powerful people come here after hearing the news. Looking around, they can see many merchant ships sailing on the sea, converging towards the Wuhui Island from all directions. The scene is extremely spectacular and the same time, it also indirectly reflects the influence of the five major families in the Tianfeng Sea.
However, unlike the lively atmosphere outside, Gu Ling was extremely nervous at the moment. Facing the extremely handsome young man in front of him, he felt that he had difficulty breathing and had an indescribable sense of tension. The pressure was even greater than when he faced the head of the family.
This pressure comes from the Immortal Holy Whale Clan!
The Overlord of the Chaos Demonic Sea!
"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk." Yao Yan saw Gu Ling's uneasiness, raised his hand and said softly.
"I'd better stand." Gu Ling laughed dryly upon hearing this. He didn't dare to be too casual in front of Yao Yan. He bowed respectfully and asked, "My lord, if you need anything, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"
Yao Yan did not force it. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "After the ship arrives at Wuhui Island, I will take the Honghuang Tower away."
Gu Ling was shocked and looked at Yao Yan in disbelief. Although he had some guesses in his mind, when he heard this from Yao Yan's mouth, he couldn't help but feel shocked and angry, which soon turned into fear and anxiety.
The Immortal Holy Whale Clan has set its sights on the Primordial Tower? !
"I can't make the decision on this matter." His tone became dry at this moment.
"I naturally know that you can't make the decision, so I want you to inform the five family heads. As for the reason for taking it away... do you know how the Honghuang Tower was formed?" Yao Yan said calmly.
How is it formed?
Gu Ling naturally had no idea about this question. Not to mention him, even the heads of the five major families probably didn't know. In their eyes, the Honghuang Tower was more like a tower of opportunity, a place dedicated to tempering the bodies of future generations. That's why they established an annual martial arts competition. On the one hand, it was to temper the future generations, and on the other hand, it was to demonstrate their strength to the outside world and expand the family's influence.
After all, a steady stream of young talents is the foundation of a family's long-term prosperity.
"Could it be related to the Immortal Holy Whale Clan?" Gu Ling asked tentatively. He knew that since the other party said so, he must be determined to obtain the Honghuang Tower. This matter must be reported to the heads of the five major families, and they will decide. Now he can only find out more information so that he can go back and report.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the person in front of him is not a bloodthirsty person, but is reasonable and not the kind of tyrannical and overbearing strong man.
"It has nothing to do with the Immortal Holy Whale Clan. On the top floor of the Honghuang Tower is sleeping the Honghuang Lord, one of the eight ancient masters. The Honghuang Qi that you absorbed comes from him." Yao Yan revealed the answer to the puzzle.
"The Lord of Primordial Chaos?!" Gu Ling was shocked when he heard that. He had naturally heard of the Eight Lords of Ancient Times. Many ancient books had recorded their former glory. They were the top existences in the Tianxuan Continent, but the other party had been sleeping in the Primordial Chaos Tower.
Yao Yan's words immediately made Gu Ling feel dry in the mouth, his heartbeat was accelerating, and he had an urge of blood rushing to his head.
"He suffered severe injuries in the ancient war between heaven and earth, and has been sleeping in the Honghuang Tower to heal his wounds. The next catastrophe of heaven and earth is only a few years away. I need him to wake up as soon as possible and return to peak condition." Yao Yan continued without caring what Gu Ling thought.
"A great catastrophe of heaven and earth?!" Gu Ling's head buzzed, and an inexplicable sense of panic rose from the bottom of his heart. Many ancient books had records of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth in ancient times. He had naturally read some of them and knew very well what this catastrophe meant. It would be a catastrophe that would sweep across the entire Tianxuan Continent, and no one could escape.
He looked at the calm young man in front of him and asked through gritted teeth, "May I know your identity, sir?"
"Emperor of Heaven."
As the words fell, Yao Yan disappeared out of thin air from Gu Ling's sight.
……
On the other side, Yao Yan has already brought Ying Huanhuan and the others to Wuhui Island. The figure communicating with Gu Ling is just his soul power. The five major families have guarded the Honghuang Tower for nearly a thousand years. Now that it is taken away, they naturally have to say something to them... It's a matter of courtesy.
He is a reasonable Emperor of Heaven.
There is no need to look for it, the Honghuang Tower is located in the center of Wuhui Island. It is a not very tall stone tower, and looks quite old, with years leaving mottled lines on it... From the outside alone, there is almost nothing special about the stone tower, as if it is an ordinary object.
Perhaps it is because of this that the five major families have been able to control it until now...
"The Lord of the Great Desolation is indeed sleeping in it. Do you want to go in and take a look?" The ancestral stone floated beside Yao Yan, with white light floating, and the old voice of "Yan" sounded in Yao Yan's ears.
"Let's take the stone tower away first." Yao Yan said lightly, then stretched out one hand and gently grasped the position of the stone tower. The next moment, the vitality of this world began to become restless, and the majestic vitality gathered and turned into a giant hand that was nearly a thousand feet long.
"who?!"
"Be bold!"
Looking at the giant Yuanli hand that suddenly appeared in the sky, the five family elders in charge of guarding the stone tower all flew into the air. The Yuanli filled with black death energy in their bodies rushed up into the sky one after another and bombarded the falling giant hand.
But in their incredible gaze, the falling giant hand actually absorbed all the attacks. Not only did their attacks not cause any hindrance to it, but made its aura even stronger.
"Activate the tower protection formation!" Upon seeing this scene, an old man in the lead shouted angrily.
As he finished speaking, several old men took out golden talismans and activated them. As golden beams shot into the stone tower, golden lines suddenly appeared on the surface of the tower. These lines converged into a golden barrier, protecting the Honghuang Tower without any blind spots.
But this golden barrier could not stop the giant hand at all. It shattered almost the moment it touched it, turning into golden debris all over the sky. Then, in their shocked and angry eyes, the giant hand directly grasped the Honghuang Tower and wanted to take it away.
"An ant trying to shake a tree!" A white-haired old man sneered when he saw this scene. No matter who the person was, it was impossible for him to take away the Honghuang Tower. If the Honghuang Tower could be taken away so easily, the five major families would not need to send people to guard it here, and they would have moved it to their respective territories long ago.
You know, the primordial energy is an extremely heavy energy, and the primordial energy inside the Honghuang Tower is already dense enough to be substantial. This also makes the weight of the Honghuang Tower extremely terrifying. Even a strong person in the Reincarnation Realm may not be able to lift it up in its entirety.
It is wishful thinking to think that you can take it away with just a wave of energy.
But soon, his expression froze, because the entire Wuhui Island was shaking, and the Honghuang Tower, which he thought was impossible to lift, was gradually lifted into the air, and the speed was getting faster and faster, without any pause or difficulty. "How is it possible!!" The leading elder looked at the scene in shock.
The rest of the people were in a similar situation. They all stared in amazement as the Honghuang Tower was snatched away by Yuanli's palm. They wanted to stop it, but their bodies seemed to be under a tremendous force and they could not move. They could only watch the Honghuang Tower go away.
As for the powerful men from various forces who came to watch the ceremony, they also had looks of surprise and suspicion in their eyes. In the Tianfeng Sea, someone actually dared to take the things of the five major families, and robbed them so openly. Aren't they afraid of being settled by the five major families later?
The five major families joined forces, even those in the Wheel of Reincarnation had to temporarily avoid the edge, who dared to be so rampant? !
"Damn it, who was that person who attacked?!" An old man with a red face looked at the empty ground, his eyes bloodshot with anger. After all, this martial arts competition attracted many powerful people to watch, but in the end, their five major families were slapped in the face in front of everyone. They were completely embarrassed.
“The person who has left us powerless to fight back must be at least a Wheel-Turning Realm expert, or even possibly a Samsara Realm expert!” The white-haired old man in the lead had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.
Reincarnation Realm? !
Hearing these three words, the red-faced old man who had been furious suddenly fell silent. At the level of the Wheel-Turning Realm, their five major families could still give it a try if they joined forces. As for the Samsara Realm… this level had already transcended the limitations of the secular world and time, and could overlook the entire Profound Tian Continent.
"What should we do now?!" someone asked. Now that the Honghuang Tower has been forcibly taken away, is there still a need to hold the martial arts competition?
"The guests from various forces have arrived. The martial arts competition will continue. As for the matter of the Honghuang Tower, I will personally inform the heads of the five major families!"
"That's all it can do!"
"it is good."

……
In another high place in the sky, Yao Yan held up the Honghuang Tower with one hand. He compressed it with the power of space and turned it into the size of a palm. After looking at it for a few times, he said hesitantly: "This thing is not a divine object. Among the eight ancient masters, no one has inherited the weapon refining technique of Fu Zu?!"
He looked at the ancestor stone with some doubt. In Yao Yan's opinion, Fu Zu was a master-level figure in refining equipment and formations, but he was much weaker in cultivation and fighting.
"You'll have to ask them about that." Upon hearing this, the ancestral stone spirit 'Yan' was silent for a while, as if he didn't want to answer this question.
Yao Yan looked at Jiang Yinyin and Ying Huanhuan.
"Why learn that? It's complicated and difficult to learn. What's more, the divine objects refined by the old man back then all had spirits. Especially the Xuantian Palace, which can create and repair divine objects independently. Now that we have it, why bother learning these?" Jiang Yinyin blinked her dark eyes and said righteously.
The corner of Yao Yan's mouth twitched, and he immediately looked at Ying Huanhuan. Ever since he learned that he had two wives, the way Ying Huanhuan looked at him had changed a little, not as intimate anymore, as if he owed her money.
"Not interested~" Ying Huanhuan and Yao Yan looked at each other, then looked away and snorted.
Yao Yan finally looked at Zu Shi and asked, "Are the other eight masters like this too?"
"Alas, the Lord of Thunder and the Lord of Primordial Desolation have hot tempers and don't like formations and the way of refining equipment. The Lord of Space doesn't have the patience. The Lord of Flame and the Lord of Darkness have learned the basics of formations. The Lord of Devouring has inherited some methods of refining equipment, but he is more interested in refining human puppets..." The spirit of the ancestral stone 'Yan' sighed softly. If it weren't for these disciples' disappointment, how could the ancestor Fu have refined an artifact like the Xuantian Palace? It was because he was forced by these disciples.
Hearing this, Yao Yan suddenly felt a little sympathy for Fu Zu. What kind of weirdos were those eight disciples he accepted? They didn't even learn any of their teacher's unique skills. Their lives were not worth living.
"Let's go in and see the condition of the Lord of Honghuang." Yao Yan raised his hand and took Ying Huanhuan and others into the Honghuang Tower, and then he turned into a stream of light and sank into it.
"Om~"
The first floor of the Honghuang Tower is a vast space, but from Yao Yan's point of view, this is a piece of space that was cut off and forced into the Honghuang Tower by relying on strength. Obviously, the Lord of Honghuang is not a guy with a meticulous mind.
But it's normal. Among those who play with muscles, there are only a few who are delicate and like to break everything with one force.
"The energy of the ancient times..." Yao Yan intercepted a wisp of the energy of the ancient times. This power was quite strange, revealing a heavy force that could strengthen the body and temper the muscles and bones. However, because of this, the body of an ordinary person could not bear it at all. Only by practicing body-refining martial arts could one turn it to one's own benefit.
"The Lord of the Great Desolation should be at the top." The ancestral stone spirit 'Yan' said.
"Yeah." Yao Yan responded and flew to the top floor with a few people. The strength of several people was not low. Even Mu Lingshan, who was the weakest, successfully stepped into the level of Death Profound Realm after obtaining part of the origin of the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman.
The primitive aura that permeated the Samsara Tower naturally could not stop them, and soon they reached the top floor and stopped at the same time.
Because the primordial energy at the top layer was so dense that it became substantial, Ying Huanhuan and the others could no longer go any deeper.
Looking around, there was a purple-gold ocean inside, with vast primitive energy constantly spreading and rising. In the center, a giant body about a thousand feet tall was lying quietly. The giant's skin was purple-gold in color, and on his skin, there were some mysterious threads emerging. With every breath, the surrounding space was distorted, as if it could not bear his body.
This is a body that has been polished to the extreme by the energy of the primitive times. It can no longer be strengthened unless it is broken and then rebuilt... and at this moment, the Lord of the Primordial Times seems to be going through this process, but with little effect.
"You wait for me outside, I'll go in and check on him." Yao Yan gave the instructions and stepped into the eighth floor. The pervasive purple-gold primordial energy could not cause any effect on him. In fact, as long as he wanted, this primordial energy would become nourishment for his soul imprint.
After all, he is not picky about food and can devour anything. If pushed to the limit, he can even eat dirt.
Soon, Yao Yan arrived above the Lord of the Primordial World and looked at the Ancestor of the Primordial World. The other's nearly thousand-foot-long body was covered with scars. The most eye-catching one was the heart, which was almost pierced through. Even the heart was severely traumatized. Even after tens of thousands of years, it still had not been fully repaired.
However, other aspects have almost recovered, and at this moment, the Lord of the Great Desolation is accumulating energy, trying to repair the injury in his heart at one time.
"The Honghuang Ancestral Talisman is not here..." Yao Yan did not sense the whereabouts of the Honghuang Ancestral Talisman here, and frowned immediately. According to the records in the original book, the Honghuang Ancestral Talisman finally fell into Xiao Yan's hands, but how he got the Honghuang Ancestral Talisman was only briefly mentioned in the text.
But the Lord of the Great Desolation should be able to sense its whereabouts... (End of this chapter)
