Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Emperor Ling

"Emperor Ling, Yun Zhongzi was killed, the Heavenly Spirit Stone mine was destroyed, Tianying Pavilion is blatantly disregarding us. We absolutely cannot swallow this indignity."

"Wind Shadow and Tianming together killed Yun Zhongzi, as well as twelve Heavenly Monarchs and numerous guards. This is a declaration of war against us! If Emperor Ling does not take action, how will the people of Ling Realm regard us? Would they not say that we fear Tianying Pavilion? This undermines the dignity of Emperor Ling!"

"Emperor Ling, the events have passed for many years, and Tianying Pavilion’s transgressions grow worse. If we do not take action now, they will only become more audacious."

In the Spirit Emperor Temple, many powerhouses from the Heavenly Deity Realm were livid with anger, each of them suggesting measures to deal with Tianying Pavilion.

In their eyes, Tianying Pavilion didn’t give a damn about their Spirit Emperor Temple; Tianying Pavilion was declaring war on them!

An elder pressed his hand down, signalling everyone to calm down, and then said, "Emperor Ling has only to make a plan; there is no need to be anxious."

On the main throne, Emperor Ling, awe-inspiring without anger, remained calm, seemingly unbothered by Yun Zhongzi’s death and the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Stone mine.

Emperor Ling was very young, appearing only to be in his thirties or forties, wearing luxurious golden armor, emitting a wild and terrifying aura, full of majesty.

"What is there in the Heavenly Spirit Stone mine that warranted Ying Hun’s intervention? Neither the Heavenly Spirit Stone nor the Nine Heavens Mysterious Jade interest him. With his disposition, he wouldn’t rescue those traitors without reason," said Emperor Ling calmly, unable to understand the motive behind Tianying Pavilion’s actions.

"Heavenly Sovereign level assassin Tianming, in the mid-stage of Heavenly Deity Realm – with his power, it’s impossible for him to have killed Yun Zhongzi. As for Wind Shadow, merely at the level of the King Realm, it is inconceivable that they could destroy the Heavenly Spirit Stone mine and kill Yun Zhongzi and the others," Emperor Ling continued, puzzled.

What Emperor Ling cared about was not the death of Yun Zhongzi and the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Stone mine, but rather the reason for Ying Hun’s intervention, as well as how Feng Wuchen and Tianming worked together to kill Yun Zhongzi and the rest.

"Swoosh!"

A figure suddenly appeared in the great hall and respectfully reported to Emperor Ling, "Reporting to Emperor Ling, it has been investigated."

Emperor Ling nodded slightly and said, "Let’s hear it."

"I captured a traitor from the mine; from him, I learned that Tianying Pavilion destroyed the Heavenly Spirit Stone mine for a mysterious Crystal Stone. This Crystal Stone was in Yun Zhongzi’s hands and is said to be related to the Heavenly Dao Life Chart, and apparently, the Crystal Stone must have been taken by Tianming." The person respectfully reported.

"Oh? Related to the Heavenly Dao Life Chart?" Emperor Ling slightly frowned, puzzled and asked, "But how would Tianying Pavilion know about such a treasure obtained by Yun Zhongzi? And why was it not reported to me?"

"This, I do not know. Perhaps Yun Zhongzi had not had the opportunity to report it to Emperor Ling, or there might be other reasons," the person replied respectfully.

"The Heavenly Dao Life Chart is a treasure sought by the Heavenly Sovereign, and if Tianying Pavilion dares to meddle with it, they’re courting death!" a powerhouse from the Heavenly Deity Realm shouted angrily.

"The Heavenly Dao Life Chart records a miraculous cultivation method. If one could obtain such an item, not only the Heavenly Sovereign but all of us could have the opportunity to ascend to the Divine Realm," a solemn elder remarked.

"If that is the case, let us recover the Crystal Stone immediately! We cannot let Tianying Pavilion benefit from this!" another powerhouse from the Heavenly Deity Realm spoke defiantly, full of confidence.

"Don’t rush; Ying Hun has been searching for the Heavenly Dao Life Chart for years as well. However, the Heavenly Dao Life Chart is quite profound, and understanding its essence is certainly not something that can be achieved overnight," another elder commented indifferently, his aged face showing no emotion.

After a pause, the elder continued, "Ying Hun’s strength is no small matter, and now that the Crystal Stone is in his hands, any of you going after it would be tantamount to courting death. Moreover, besides Ying Hun, Tianying Pavilion also has assassin of Tian Kui’s caliber, that is, at the level of Heavenly Emperor."

"What the grand elder says is very true. There’s no rush with the Crystal Stone; even if Ying Hun and his cohorts find the Heavenly Dao Life Chart, it’s not certain they could comprehend its mysteries," Emperor Ling began slowly, pondering, "Who is this Wind Shadow? Why would Ying Hun send someone at the initial stage of King Realm to carry out such a perilous mission?"

Emperor Ling had always found it peculiar that Feng Wuchen, who was only at the early stages of the King Realm and had pitifully weak strength, was assigned to carry out the mission—was it not tantamount to sending him to his death?

Yet now, Feng Wuchen had managed to survive, which made Emperor Ling very curious.

"I do not know," the man replied respectfully.

The assassins of Tianying Pavilion are quite secretive, and the exact number of assassins is unknown to all; at most, only a few well-known assassins with great strength are known.

"An early King Realm, a mid-stage Heavenly Deity Realm, under this emperor’s very nose, wiped out this emperor’s Heavenly Spirit Stone mine. Quite fitting of Tianying Pavilion," Emperor Ling praised, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

The fact that Tianying Pavilion dispatched two individuals who successfully destroyed Emperor Ling’s mine was undoubtedly a fierce slap in the face to Emperor Ling.

Emperor Ling slowly rose to his feet, exuding a ferocious majesty as he stepped down, saying, "This emperor is not one to be trifled with. Ying Hun, let’s wait and see; the real drama has just begun."

"We beseech Emperor Ling to issue an order!" Several Heavenly Deity Realm experts knelt respectfully on one knee.

"Rising Sun, check on Wind Shadow. A mere silver-badge assassin; this emperor is indeed curious why Ying Hun would assign him for the task," ordered Emperor Ling.

"Yes! Emperor Ling!" Rising Sun respectfully accepted the command, and immediately vanished with a flicker.

"To treat one’s adversary with his own methods," the Great Elder finally spoke at this moment.

"With the Heavenly Sovereign in slumber, we eight Heavenly Emperors manage the Heavenly Realm, and within this Ling Realm under my control, no rebels shall be tolerated; all rebels will be killed without exception," Emperor Ling stated indifferently, his tone seemingly calm yet filled with boundless authority.

"We will strictly obey Emperor Ling’s command!" the Heavenly Deity Realm experts responded respectfully.

"Whoever took the Crystal Stones will have them taken back from their hands," said Emperor Ling casually.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Feng Wuchen had already successfully emerged from seclusion.

The marvelous cultivation methods recorded in the Heavenly Dao Life Chart had helped Feng Wuchen break through to the mid-stage of the King Realm, greatly enhancing his strength.

"Having made a breakthrough to the mid-stage, my strength has increased by more than tenfold, and I feel like both my Heavenly Dao Divine Power and my physical body have also grown much stronger," Feng Wuchen said with excitement.

"With my current strength, below the Heavenly Monarchs, there should be no rival; dealing with He Tu, one punch should be enough," Feng Wuchen said confidently, a glint flashing in his eyes.

With the strength of the early King Realm, Feng Wuchen had already been able to defeat He Tu, who was in the later stages of the King Realm. Now, with his greatly increased strength, dealing with the later stages of the King Realm was even less of a challenge.

"The cultivation methods of the Life Chart are indeed miraculous. With just the cultivation of Spiritual Energy, one could break through in a month. At this rate, reaching the later stages of the King Realm isn’t far off," Feng Wuchen thought, growing more and more excited and exhilarated by the moment.

The Heavenly Dao Life Chart had brought him immeasurable benefits.

"While my cultivation level has increased, I must not neglect other areas like Alchemy mastery, especially the realm of an Inscription Master; powerful inscriptions are tremendously helpful in combat," Feng Wuchen said with a slight smile, then he stepped out of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower.
