Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Li Yao was not embarrassed at all. He coughed and walked to Boss Bai and Long Yangjun stiffly. He greeted Boss Bai and glared at Long Yangjun.

Astonishment and admiration beamed out of Long Yangjun’s eyes as he exclaimed, “Huh. You’re really here!”

Li Yao was dazed and forgot to berate her. He asked subconsciously, “What do you mean?”

“I thought you would rather die than come here.”

Long Yangjun said casually, “Under such circumstances, shouldn’t you stay by your wife’s side and comfort her? It seems that becoming the well-deserved best expert of the Pangu Universe is indeed different. You are now emboldened and fearless!” “What are you talking about? Ding Lingdang asked me to come here!”

Li Yao said, “Considering the influence of the three parties, I have to remain neutral. Didn’t you know?”

“I know. But did you come when your wife asked you to? Childish. How childish. You don’t understand the psychology of women at all. She was clearly testing you!” Long Yangjun said, “You came when I asked you to. How can you be someone’s husband if you don’t have your own opinions and your own masculinity? Although your wife is smiling right now, she must be furious right now! You should’ve beaten her to death and refused to come. You would rather have a fierce conflict between the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, and the Holy Alliance. That’s more like it!”

“It-it can’t be, right?”

Li Yao was dumbfounded. “Cut the crap. I will never believe you again, you witch!”

“Alright, if you don’t believe me, then you don’t believe me. I guess I was wrong. In fact, your wife is not angry.”

Long Yangjun smiled. “Don’t worry. Really. She is not angry. I’m not lying.” “…” Li Yao.

“However,” Long Yangjun said, “do you know which three of the legendary ‘three unsolved mysteries of the universe’ are? Firstly, how many universes are there? Are there a thousand or ten thousand mysterious places that are the same as the Pangu Universe? Secondly, the so-called ‘high-dimensional worlds’ have several dimensions in total. Some experts and scholars say that there are eleven dimensions in total, but some believe that the concepts of dimensions are endless. Thirdly, the most difficult question to answer is whether or not a woman is angry.

“Anyways, my dear ordinary friend Li Yao, you’re on your own now. Don’t blame me. You asked for it. Of course, you can call me venomous, but why should you call me ugly like a pig? Huh!”

Long Yangjun winked and moved closer to Li

Yao.

Li Yao felt that his head was aching. He hurried to hide next to Boss Bai and pushed him away, while he said solemnly, “That’s enough. As the leader of the three worlds and the super giant of the Pangu Universe, I’m here to discuss national affairs, universal peace, and the future of mankind. Time is precious. Let’s get down to business!”

With the arrival of Li Yao and Ding Lingdang, almost all the famous leadership and experts of the Pangu Universe had gathered.

Everyone was a big shot who had to deal with a lot of affairs every day. They were all related to the future of countless fleets, sects, planets, and forces. Besides, the intelligence about Lu Qingchen was quite urgent. There was indeed no need for pleasantries.

In a shabby temporary meeting room, the top-secret meeting hosted by Empress Dowager Li Linghai officially began.

“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s meeting concerns not only the interests of the imperium, the federation, and the Holy Alliance, but also the future of the entire civilization of mankind and all the intelligent creatures in the Pangu Universe. Time is of the essence, and the situation is urgent. I am not asking you as the queen mother of the imperium or as an Immortal Cultivator, but as an ordinary human warrior. I ask you to put aside the conflict of interest for a moment and face an unprecedented catastrophe together! The shocking and solemn expression on Li Linghai’s face when he opened his mouth confirmed the speculations of many experts, including Li Yao.

“Concepts such as the Pangu Universe, the Black Wall, the Flood Tide, the Flood Tide Legion, and so on, as well as the general process of the primeval war, are well known in our communication a while ago. I won’t go into the details here, including the identity and capability of each and every one of you here. I believe that we will be the best comrades to trust and fight side by side in the next phase of the war.

“Before I tell you the truth of the crisis, I have a piece of good news for you. Fellow Cultivator Li Yao, known as ‘Vulture’, has successfully grasped the mysteries of the Divinity Transformation Stage and become a rarely-seen expert in the past hundreds of years. I believe that his unparalleled combat ability will be of great help in our hunting and exploration operations. It is also a great omen of our victory!

The news that Li Yao had broken into the Divinity Transformation Stage had been spreading among the three parties through various intelligence channels. However, before Li Linghai announced it, many people still found it hard to believe that such a ‘young man’ who was only a hundred years old and had hibernated for a hundred years had reached the legendary Divinity Transformation Stage so quickly.

Right now, Li Linghai had made it public for Li Yao. Humming noises were immediately raised, and hundreds of envious, jealous, and awed eyes were fixed on Li Yao.

Naturally, Li Yao felt that he was on cloud nine. His vanity was greatly satisfied.

But on the other hand, he was also getting a stronger and stronger feeling that the news that Li Linghai was going to announce was not going to be good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to treat the news of his breakthrough as a stimulant for so many experts.

Li Linghai pressed his hands and stopped everyone’s discussion. He gestured again, and more than ten giant 3D light beams appeared behind him. Countless streams of information flooded over like a broken dam. “Here’s the situation. Recently, other than rebuilding the basic order of the imperium, we’ve been reviewing the defense of the imperial capital. Although the war ended in a great victory for the coalition army of the imperium and the federation, the fleet of the Fuxis maintained a relatively high combat ability and tremendous pressure on Empyrean Terminus. It is safe to say that the entire war was a mess, and many details were overlooked at that time.

“It was not until the post-war review that we discovered a lot of clues.

“We discovered that, while the fleet of the Fuxi fleet was bombarding Empyrean Terminus with the strongest firepower, the super artificial intelligence named ‘Fuxi’ launched the most destructive and corrosive ability of the Spiritual Nexus and bombarded the war network of Empyrean Terminus.

“In a confrontation between two armies, the Spiritual Nexus and information are indispensable. At first, we did not suspect much.

“But the more I investigated, the weirder it became. It seemed that the ‘coverage network bombardment’ was just a disguise. The real target of the Fuxis was not the mainframe crystal processor of the commander-in-chief’s department but one of my secret bases. Li Yao was still confused. He could not help but ask, “Empress Dowager, is there any difference between the mainframe crystal processor of the imperium’s command center and the one in your secret base?”

“There is a crucial difference. A piece of top secret information is hidden inside my mainframe crystal processor that even the command center does not know about.

Li Linghai hesitated for a long time. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “The secret of the ‘Emperor’s Tomb’!”

Everybody was greatly shocked.

It was not a secret that Li Linghai was the first to dig out a bucket of gold from the tomb of the Supreme Emperor. However, in front of so many experts, especially those from the federation and the Holy Alliance, she had spoken so frankly, which proved that the situation was far beyond her control.

“There’s no need for me to keep it a secret any longer. It’s true that the legendary tomb of the Supreme Emperor, the ‘Gold ThroneHeaven’s Horizon’, has been excavated by me. Whoever finds it will find endless wealth, endless armies, and the ultimate heritage.

Li Linghai sighed and said, “However, the legends are not entirely groundless. It’s true that I’ve received a lot of secret treasures and legacies in the tomb of the Supreme Emperor, but they are not as exaggerated as the legends say that ‘no one dares to disobey the command of the world’. If the legends are true, the situation of the entire universe will not be what it is today.

“In fact, most of the discoveries I made in the tomb of the Supreme Emperor have become the capital of the revolutionaries, which have been presented to you.

“Of course, this does not mean that the Mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor is empty, but rather, I suspect that the Mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor is divided into two layers. What I have excavated is just the ordinary secret treasures in the outer layer. Including the corpse of the Supreme Emperor, there are also a lot of secret treasures and legacies. The things that can truly command the world are hidden in the inner layer.

“However, the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor is like the ‘Ghost Island’ that appears and disappears every once in a while. With the tides of the space ripples, it is very difficult to find a pattern of movement. Its entrance may not be opened for several years or even more than ten years. The ‘window’ for each opening is very short, too.

“I spent decades studying the patterns of the entrances to the Mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor. I managed to find some precious data and coordinates, and I was able to roughly determine when and where the entrances to the Mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor would appear. In the battle to protect the capital city, the Fuxi invaded, copied, and stole the important information.

“Here comes the question. Why did the Fuxis spend their precious computational ability to hack into my mainframe crystal processor to steal the secrets of the Emperor’s Tomb in such an intense battle?

“The Supreme Emperor is the strongest expert of the human civilization. Naturally, he is nothing but a lofty mountain for us. But the Fuxi is a super artificial intelligence from the primeval era hundreds of thousands of years ago. There are countless landmarks in its possession. Is it really necessary to covet the Supreme Emperor’s legacy? Or is there something even more ancient and precious hidden inside the Supreme Emperor’s tomb that even tempted the Fuxi?
