148: Su Wanyun's news

Western Demonic Region.

"Lord Demon Emperor, the Seal of the Heavenly Absolute War God has been completely broken. When shall we begin our counterattack?"

A burly, muscular member of the Demon Race asked excitedly, his face filled with eagerness and fanaticism.

"Mo Ti, I order you to lead one hundred thousand elite Demon Race members to attack the Eastern Profound Region."

The Demon Emperor said loudly, his voice like thunder, full of majesty and oppression.

"This Subordinate will strictly obey the Demon Emperor's orders."

Mo Ti said loudly, kneeling on one knee, his expression incomparably firm.

"Mo Jiang, I order you to lead one hundred thousand Demon Race Disciples to attack the Northern Profound Region, and while you are at it, search for the whereabouts of my uncle, Jiang Tianyang."

The Demon Emperor said loudly, his gaze piercing and resolute.

"Yes, this Subordinate will strictly obey the Demon Emperor's orders." Mo Jiang said loudly, his voice filled with obedience and loyalty.

"Mo Yun, you will accompany me to personally attack the Southern Yao Race, and strive to subdue the entire Yao Race in one fell swoop."

The Demon Emperor said loudly, his eyes filled with endless ambition and dominance.

"Yes, Lord Demon Emperor."

Mo Yun said loudly, his expression serious and solemn.

"Once I have completely ruled the four great regions—East, West, North, and South—that will be the time for our counterattack. At that time, as long as we repair the Teleportation Array leading to the Central Domain Divine Land, we can storm into the Central Domain in one fell swoop and completely rule the entire Heavenly Martial Continent. Heh heh heh..."

The Demon Emperor's eyes were filled with endless greed, a greed that seemed capable of devouring everything.

"The Demon Emperor is mighty."

"The Demon Emperor is mighty."

...

"This time, I will slaughter all the rebels. Both humans and the Yao Race will submit to my rule."

The Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light that made people shudder.

...

Yang Lingchen followed Su Ronger as they flew rapidly, soon arriving at a picturesque mountain with a beautiful environment.

On the summit of this mountain stood a magnificent and incomparably vast palace.

"From now on, you can Cultivate here! There are a few vacant courtyards over there; you can tidy one up and live in it. If you have any questions regarding Cultivation, you can come and ask me."

After Su Ronger finished speaking, she entered the palace at the summit, her figure as light and graceful as a Fairy.

"Hey... Revered Master..."

Yang Lingchen called out but then stopped himself.

Originally, he wanted to ask Su Ronger about his mother, but then he thought better of it. After all, he had just joined the Heavenly Emperor Palace, and it was not appropriate to reveal his identity too early.

Yang Lingchen tidied up a small courtyard next to the palace and settled in.

Since Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had reached the Emperor Realm, he was an Inner Sect Disciple upon entry.

Inner Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Palace did not need to perform missions. Of course, if you wanted to obtain more resources and benefits, you still needed to exchange points for them.

As for the current Yang Lingchen, he lacked neither resources nor Cultivation Techniques, so there was absolutely no need for him to perform missions; he only needed to devote himself to Cultivation.

Yang Lingchen directly set up a small, exquisite Formation outside the small courtyard to isolate his Aura, and then he slipped into the haotian jade space.

The current haotian jade space was countless times larger than the original haotian jade space; the space inside was like a vast, boundless continent.

Yang Lingchen knew that this was not the limit of the haotian jade space. If one day he were to Breakthrough to the God Emperor Realm, the haotian jade space would become even larger, enough to contain the entire Divine Realm.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen remained in the haotian jade space, focusing on his Cultivation, while also taking time to refine quite a few supreme grade Medicinal Pills.

After all, Xiao Qingyun and Ouyang Yunmeng's cultivation levels were still relatively low, and if they had the assistance of Medicinal Pills, they would be able to improve their cultivation levels rapidly.

Yang Lingchen's current plan was to rise in the Heavenly Emperor Palace as quickly as possible and gain the attention of the Palace Revered Master. Only then could he find his mother as soon as possible.

Of course, Yang Lingchen had another method, which was to raise his cultivation level to the Saint Realm as quickly as possible. When that time came, he would just find the person by force.

Yang Lingchen was quite confident in his Cross-Rank Challenge ability.

As long as he raised his cultivation level to the Saint Realm, he was confident that he would be invincible within the Saint Realm.

...

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and three months went by.

After three months of diligent Cultivation, Yang Lingchen finally raised his cultivation level to the ninth layer of the Emperor Realm.

At the same time, his Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, such as the Phantom Movement Technique, God Slaying Sword Art, Domain Breaking Fist, and Soul Devouring Slash, had all been raised to a brand-new level.

Moreover, during these three months, Yang Lingchen had also Cultivated various mysterious and wondrous arts.

With his current cultivation level, it was already enough to support him in casting some ordinary arts.

Although these arts did not cause much damage to top-tier experts, they could have unexpected and astonishing effects when dealing with large groups of low-level Cultivators.

During these three months, the Revered Master-Disciple relationship between Yang Lingchen and Su Ronger had also grown much closer.

Yang Lingchen would go to ask Su Ronger for guidance every few days, and every time he went, he would bring some delicious food and the mellow red wine he brewed exclusively for Su Ronger.

At first, Su Ronger thought this Disciple was quite annoying, but over time, she discovered that Yang Lingchen's talent was truly excellent, and he was quite respectful toward her.

Especially the red wine that Yang Lingchen brewed; it was her absolute favorite.

One day, Yang Lingchen again brought red wine and fragrant roasted meat to Su Ronger's palace.

"Revered Master, this red wine is for you to enjoy."

"Hanyang City, why did you pick such an old-fashioned name?" Su Ronger giggled, her smile as bright as spring flowers, stunningly beautiful.

"Because the place where I was born is Hanyang City, and I also have the surname Han, so I called it Hanyang City." Yang Lingchen smiled and said, his smile carrying a bit of simple honesty.

"By the way, you have now broken through to the ninth layer of the Emperor Realm; you are qualified to participate in the Core Disciple assessment." Su Ronger said, her voice clear and melodious.

"Are there any benefits to being a Core Disciple?" Yang Lingchen asked casually.

"Once you become a Core Disciple, you will receive key and meticulous cultivation from the Sect. If you manage to enter the heavenly emperor ranking list in the future, your status in the Heavenly Emperor Palace will rise accordingly." Su Ronger said, her gaze filled with expectation.

"The heavenly emperor ranking list? What kind of list is this?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously, his eyes filled with confusion.

"The heavenly emperor ranking list is an internal list within our Heavenly Emperor Palace. Anyone from Core Disciple level and above can participate, including Elders and the Palace Revered Master; everyone is on the list." Su Ronger said, patiently explaining.

"Then who is number one on the heavenly emperor ranking list?" Yang Lingchen asked, his expression full of curiosity.

"Of course it is the Palace Revered Master!" Su Ronger rolled her eyes at Yang Lingchen, her expression filled with a hint of feigned annoyance.

"Revered Master, what rank are you?" Yang Lingchen asked, his tone filled with curiosity.

"Your Revered Master is ranked thirtieth on the heavenly emperor ranking list." Su Ronger said, taking a sip of red wine, her face filled with a hint of pride.

"Revered Master, how old are you this year? Why do you look about the same age as me?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously, his gaze full of inquiry.

"Your Revered Master isn't actually old; I am only twenty this year!" Su Ronger pouted proudly, looking playful and cute.

Yang Lingchen took a sip of wine and said, "Then wouldn't Revered Master be the youngest Saint in the history of our Heavenly Emperor Palace?"

"Actually, the youngest Saint in the history of our Heavenly Emperor Palace is not your Revered Master." Su Ronger said, a flash of reminiscence in her eyes.

"Then who is it?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously, his expression becoming even more curious.

"The youngest Saint in the history of the Heavenly Emperor Palace is actually my aunt, Su Wanyun." Su Ronger said in a sweet voice, her tone filled with a hint of admiration.

"So Su Wanyun, who shocked the Central Domain twenty years ago, is actually Revered Master's aunt. One day, Revered Master must take this Disciple to visit her." A look of admiration appeared on Yang Lingchen's face, sincere and enthusiastic.

"My aunt does not see outsiders." Su Ronger said, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

"I am not an outsider! I am Revered Master's Disciple; wouldn't Revered Master's aunt be this Disciple's grand-aunt? As a Junior, how can I not go to visit? Not only will this Disciple go to visit, but I will also bring the best gifts to visit." Yang Lingchen said, his tone firm and sincere.

"This... alright! I will ask my aunt another day."

"However, before that, you must become a Core Disciple and get a good ranking on the heavenly emperor ranking list for your Revered Master. Otherwise, I would be too embarrassed to take a Disciple who hasn't even entered the heavenly emperor ranking list to see my aunt."

Su Ronger said, her gaze filled with expectation.

"Revered Master, then it's a deal. It's just the heavenly emperor ranking list; this Disciple will enter the top forty in a matter of minutes." Yang Lingchen said, his tone full of confidence.

"Stinky brat, you shouldn't boast like that. Do you know how strong the person in last place on the heavenly emperor ranking list is?" Su Ronger said indignantly, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

"Revered Master, why don't we make a bet?" Yang Lingchen laughed, his smile containing a hint of craftiness.

"What kind of bet?" Su Ronger asked, a flash of curiosity in her eyes.

"If I enter the top forty of the heavenly emperor ranking list, how about I call you Sister Ronger when there is no one else around?" Yang Lingchen laughed, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Scoundrel, what if you lose?" Su Ronger scolded, her expression feigning anger.

"If I lose, I will cook delicious food for you every day and give you a bottle of Beauty Pill." Yang Lingchen said, his tone full of temptation.

"Beauty Pill? What kind of Medicinal Pill is this?" Su Ronger asked curiously, her eyes full of confusion.

"The Beauty Pill is a Medicinal Pill that, once eaten, can make you even more beautiful and can keep you eternally youthful." Yang Lingchen said, his expression serious and focused.

"Are you sure such a Medicinal Pill really exists?" Su Ronger said, her gaze filled with a hint of skepticism.

"Of course it exists; would this Disciple lie to you?" Yang Lingchen laughed, his smile full of confidence.

"Fine, your Revered Master accepts this bet."

Su Ronger's face showed a confident smile. She simply did not believe that Yang Lingchen could enter the top forty of the heavenly emperor ranking list, because Yang Lingchen's current strength was only at the ninth layer of the Emperor Realm, while those in the top forty of the heavenly emperor ranking list all had cultivation levels above the second layer of the Saint Realm.
