Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

255: Underworld movementThe figure of the Imperial Preceptor appeared beside Qin Jiang, lightly stroking his long beard.

”Oh? From your words, Imperial Preceptor, it seems something has happened?” Qin Jiang asked.

”The Heavenly Sovereign’s calculations are divine. Over a month ago, an abnormality occurred in the Reincarnation Great Domain. A mysterious mist enveloped it, and more than ten True Immortals, including a Saint Lord Level guardian, were lost within the mysterious mist, losing all contact.

”Your Majesty went there in person, dispersed part of the mysterious mist, and rescued some Heavenly Soldiers and several True Immortals.

”However, the territory of the Reincarnation Great Domain is too vast to be entirely cleared. The Reincarnation Guardian and the remaining True Immortals and Heavenly Soldiers have yet to be found.

”What is most worrying is that when Your Majesty passed through the Nether Luo Great Domain and the Yellow Spirit Great Domain, which are adjacent to the Reincarnation Great Domain, he discovered that these two Great Domains were also shrouded in the mysterious mist.

”Furthermore, the Earthly Dao Laws contained within the mysterious mist of the three Great Domains are different.

”In other words, although the mysterious mist erupted in the three Great Domains simultaneously, it may not necessarily be for the same reason.

”Afterward, several Saint Lords were dispatched with Immortal Lord Dao weapons to investigate, and they only found a trace of a clue in the Yellow Spirit Great Domain.”

The Imperial Preceptor said this and glanced around, appearing somewhat cautious.

Seeing this, Qin Jiang raised his hand slightly and set up a Formation. ”What clue? The Imperial Preceptor might as well speak plainly.”

The Imperial Preceptor pondered for a moment. ”Forgive me, Heavenly Sovereign. It is not that I am being overly cautious, but the existence in the Yellow Spirit Great Domain is truly too bizarre.

”It is a ten-thousand-zhang tall copper statue in the likeness of a female. According to some vague records in ancient history, she should be called the Yellow Sky Divine Mother.

”Based on the information in the records, it is speculated that when the Fifteen Great Domains were first formed, it might have been this lady who personally opened up the Yellow Spirit Great Domain.

”While inside the Yellow Spirit Great Domain, if one utters the name of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother, both the person who speaks the name and the person who hears it will turn into a copper statue within a breath’s time and appear beneath her seat. Not even those at the Saint Lord Level are exempt.”

On that day, had he not been carrying the Imperial Seal of the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty and used the dynasty’s Luck to isolate that mysterious power, he would likely be a copper statue by now as well.

Yellow Sky Divine Mother?

Qin Jiang’s eyes were deep. After hearing this name again, perhaps due to the influence of ’materialization’, his heart was very calm.

Over a month ago, which was when he went to the ruins of the Nine Luminaries Immortal King.

He remembered that at that time, he had taken out the Heaven’s Heart of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother for a period.

Was it because of this that the Yellow Sky Divine Mother was revived?

No, it couldn’t be considered a full revival.

Back at Dahei Mountain, he had personally witnessed the peerless might of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother. If the Human Emperor had not acted, that power would have been enough to destroy the entire continent.

Even after losing the Heaven’s Heart, she was definitely not something the current immortal sects of the continent could contend with.

Therefore, the Yellow Sky Divine Mother’s state should still be somewhere between life and death.

And the turning point for a complete revival is the Brass Heart in his hand?

”I see. The Imperial Venerable wants me to set up a Heavenly Formation,” he said.

”Exactly. This Formation is called the Absolute Attraction Heavenly Pillar Formation. It uses Twelve Heavenly Pillars as Formation eyes and connects with the Big Dipper to seal off a domain’s land and dispel the mysterious Qi.

”When the time comes, Your Majesty will deal with the Yellow Sky Divine Mother himself,” said the Imperial Preceptor.

Although the power of the Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign is superior to that of an Immortal Lord and only below an Immortal King, that is based on having enough time to set up a Heavenly Formation.

In a normal state, the power of an Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign is roughly at the middle to Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.

Of course, Qin Jiang was an exception. With Qin Jiang’s own strength being comparable to an Immortal Lord, superimposed with the power of the Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign, he was probably not much inferior to the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign.

But in any case, the Reincarnation Great Domain has always been under the control of the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty. Since a problem has arisen, the Dynasty should be responsible.

”Very well. When will the Imperial Venerable return?” Qin Jiang asked. Just as he arrived, his Immortal Sense had already swept through the Imperial City and did not find the aura of the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign.

The Imperial Preceptor’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign.

The Emperor Ancestor Imperial City was personally forged by the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King in the past, and an Immortal King Great Formation was inscribed upon it.

Although the Immortal King power within this Immortal King Great Formation was erased by the Heavenly Dao after the Ancestor King ascended to heaven, it remains one of the most powerful Heavenly Formations in the world today. Even if Immortal Lord Linglong came, she might not be able to break through it.

Yet Qin Jiang was actually able to see through the city-protecting Heavenly Formation and realize that Your Majesty was no longer in the city. His cultivation in the Array Dao had reached an inconceivable level.

”This old man has already sent word to Your Majesty. He should return from the Underworld within three days. Before Your Majesty left, he gave instructions that after the Heavenly Sovereign arrives, he may enter the Scripture Pavilion to read the Immortal King Scripture.”

Qin Jiang’s eyebrows rose at the words. Although the Immortal King Scripture was a volume of scripture, it was one of the few Immortal King relics that could endure in the world for a long time.

At a critical moment, it could burst forth with power at the Immortal King level, equivalent to half an Immortal King reborn, enough to sweep across the world.

As the sole overlord of the Central Province, the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty possessed the Emperor Ancestor Immortal Seal enshrined in the Ancestral Shrine, in addition to the Immortal King Scripture.

Normally, when an Immortal King ascends to heaven, even if they leave behind their immortal king weapon, it will suffer heavenly tribulation after their ascension, causing its grade to drop and it to become a Quasi-King weapon.

But this Emperor Ancestor Immortal Seal was different. It was the only immortal king weapon in the world, suppressing the Luck of the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty. It was left behind by the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King through unknown means.

The Imperial Seal held by the Imperial Preceptor was an Immortal Lord Dao weapon replicated from that object. It had been nurtured in the Ancestral Shrine and thus possessed a hint of Immortal King power, capable of resisting the power of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother.

It was also because of these two items, combined with the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign’s own Realm as a Peak Immortal Lord, that the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty could occupy the Reincarnation Great Domain alone.

In the past, the Reincarnation Great Domain was often jointly governed by the world’s Dao Lands.

He looked down, his gaze seemingly wanting to penetrate the infinite thick earth to see where the Underworld was located.

The Emperor Ancestor Immortal Seal must not be moved unless the city is in danger of destruction, and the Imperial Seal is in the hands of the Imperial Preceptor.

Yet the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign did not bring the Immortal King Scripture this time. Does he truly have the confidence to face the Yellow Sky Divine Mother, or is he too confident in his own strength?

”Heavenly Sovereign? Heavenly Sovereign?” The Imperial Preceptor’s voice sounded in his ear.

Qin Jiang snapped out of it. ”It’s nothing. Let’s go. I have been looking forward to the Immortal King Scripture for a long time.”

The Imperial Palace, ninth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

The Imperial Preceptor raised his hand slightly, and a black jade seal appeared in his palm. It was palm-sized and square, with Nine Dragons Competing for a Pearl carved upon it.

Mysterious light flickered, and a vortex appeared in front of them. A jade scripture floated within it, emitting a profound black glimmer, its body surrounded by illusory Order Dao Laws.

”Heavenly Sovereign, please look. This is the Immortal King Scripture of my Emperor Ancestor Dynasty.”

Profound array patterns appeared in Qin Jiang’s eyes as he analyzed the Order Dao Laws entwined around the Immortal King Scripture.

This was the embodiment of an Immortal King’s lifelong enlightenment, representing the ultimate Realm that the creatures of this world could reach.

The Immortal Kings are truly too mysterious. In this era, no one can describe their prestige.

They were existences that were absolutely invincible in an era, walking through ancient history. Whether in the past or the future, traces of their existence can be seen, silently displaying their great power.

However, except for those who were in the same period as an Immortal King, no one has been able to personally witness them display that supreme power.

Half an hour later, Qin Jiang’s gaze pierced through the Order Dao Laws entwined around the Immortal King Scripture and saw the true face of the scripture.

”Great Wind Book.” Three ordinary-looking ancient characters, yet they were exceptionally profound, carrying a unique charm.
