Chapter 253 Tremors in the Realm of the National Treasures
"Heavenly Emperor Stele? Could the legend actually be true?"
Su Yie murmured to himself, suddenly recalling the legend mentioned by Gui Chouxie.
He hesitated, unsure whether to proceed.
If it really was the Heavenly Emperor, the chief of all gods, would he kill Su Yie before he could teleport away?
"Heavenly Emperor Stele... I didn't expect to find it here. Go inside."
At that moment, Feng Long suddenly spoke inside Su Yie's mind, his tone complex, no longer dissuading Su Yie but instead encouraging him.
With his brows furrowed tightly, Su Yie was full of doubts, but he still took steps forward.
How could he give up after making it this far?
The closer he got to the Heavenly Emperor Stele, the thinner the surrounding fog seemed to become, with visibility increasing.
Upon arriving at the Heavenly Emperor Stele, Su Yie felt a magical power from the three blood-red characters.
Wherever his gaze turned, he felt as though the characters were twisting, even though they were clearly still.
"Go inside."
A cold voice suddenly echoed in Su Yie's mind, making his whole body tingle.
"Why is it you? You've awakened?"
Feng Long cried out in astonishment, his speech filled with apprehension.
The speaker was actually the Sword Soul of the Sword of Defeated Grudges.
The Sword of Defeated Grudges ignored Feng Long and continued to urge, "Hurry and go inside, this is an opportunity to become immortal."
To become immortal!
Su Yie trembled all over, lacking the energy to ponder why the Sword of Defeated Grudges had awakened but instead taking steps forward as if possessed.
As he passed by the Heavenly Emperor Stele, a fleeting image suddenly breezed through Su Yie's mind, brief and elusive. Vaguely, he saw three towering figures confronting each other, but he did not see their features clearly.
"What was that just now?"
Su Yie furrowed his brows, trying to recall the vision but unable to. He could only remember three figures, not even the background.
"It was probably an illusion, don't worry about it."
Feng Long said, after all, up ahead could be the heritage site left by the Heavenly Emperor, so encountering illusions was normal.
Su Yie nodded, still moving forward.
After he entered the valley, the scene behind him changed into a rock wall, with no entrance visible.
He didn't look back, so he didn't notice this anomaly. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
With the Sword of Defeated Grudges and the Silver Marrow Sword in hand, and the Zhou Wu Sword above his head, Su Yie walked very carefully.
Su Yie hadn't inquired about the Heavenly Emperor Stele within Emperor Su's Sect, feeling a premonition that if this opportunity was revealed, it could set off endless turmoil, and not just within the Eastern Lands.
All of Ancient Wilderness strived for immortality. If the chief of all gods, the Heavenly Emperor, appeared, who wouldn't go mad?
He walked hundreds of meters, with no more mist around.
The valley was filled with many flowers and grasses dew-laden, among which lay numerous white bones, adding a layer of horror beneath the beauty.
Soon, Su Yie saw a figure ahead. He stood on a massive boulder at the turn of the mountain path, gazing up at the firmament, with sunlight draping over him like a cloak of holiness.
"Someone's there?"
Su Yie gripped the swords in his hands. To come across another person in this valley?
"That is... impossible..."
Feng Long suddenly became excited, exclaiming again and again.
Su Yie was secretly alarmed and hurriedly asked, "What is it? Damn it, just say it!"
Was this the time to be secretive?
"King Zhou Wu!"
Feng Long spoke solemnly, the three words causing Su Yie's face to dramatically change.
King Zhou Wu, one of the former owners of the Zhou Wu Sword, the sword that gained its fame because of him.
Once, Great Zhou had the chance to unify the world. At that time, King Zhou Wu was as invincible as the Emperor of Xia had been, and not even the Demon Clan had one who could match him.
But King Zhou Wu didn't aspire to unify the world. He only sought to proceed to a higher plane and continue his pursuit of ultimate strength. Thus, he used the Void Shattered Technique, but failed. The Zhou Wu Sword fell to the mortal world, and King Zhou Wu was struck into dust and bones by Heavenly Thunder.
Some said King Zhou Wu did not die, but simply disappeared.

But as time drifted on, no one believed that King Zhou Wu was still alive.
To think that King Zhou Wu was in the forbidden area of the Realm of the National Treasures!
Feeling Su Yie's gaze, King Zhou Wu turned his head to look at him, causing his pupils to contract sharply.
What kind of weathered face was that?
His face was covered in stubble and bloodstains, his eyes lifeless, his disheveled hair gently moving, and the robes he wore were tattered and torn, akin to a beggar's.
Looking at Su Yie, King Zhou Wu spoke faintly, "Long time no see."
Those words were not directed at Su Yie.
They were for the Zhou Wu Sword above Su Yie's head.
Feng Long remained quiet, without saying anything more, as if not knowing how to face King Zhou Wu.
King Zhou Wu turned his head back, continuing to stare at the sky dome, and roared, "By what right do the Immortal Gods exist?"
Su Yie narrowed his eyes; it turned out the voice just now belonged to King Zhou Wu.
With that thought, he took a step forward.
He suspected that King Zhou Wu might be trapped within some kind of restriction, unable to leave this valley.
King Zhou Wu began to question the sky dome over and over again, his voice at times desolate and at times filled with rage.
As Su Yie approached, King Zhou Wu still did not lower his head, ignoring Su Yie.
Su Yie walked past him, continuing to head deep into the valley.
"By what right do the Immortal Gods exist?"
"By what right do the Immortal Gods exist?"
King Zhou Wu continued to bellow from behind, weighing heavily on Su Yie's heart for some reason.
What sort of ordeal had led such an invincible powerhouse to end up in such a state of madness?
"The Immortal Path stretches on endlessly; either shatter all laws to become immortal and reign above the nine heavens, or become mere bones, forever falling into reincarnation," Feng Long said with emotion, unaffected by King Zhou Wu's predicament.
Now its sword master was Su Yie.
Su Yie came to a realization; before, he had no strong concept of becoming an immortal, convinced that he certainly would, but now witnessing King Zhou Wu's tragic state, his confidence was somewhat shaken.
But it was just for a moment!
Soon enough, his resolve strengthened.
With a Great Dao Communication Device in hand, how could he not become immortal?
Besides, with his exceptional talents, he was destined to become immortal!
After traversing another thousand meters, Su Yie saw another stele.
Written upon it was a phrase: "Reincarnation has no end, only the Heavenly Emperor endures forever!"
Su Yie furrowed his brows; back when he went to Immortal Scorching Ridge, the silver-faced man, Li Huahun's father, had said these words to Ren Wokuang.
He didn't care at the time, but now, recalling that moment, could it be that Li Huahun's father had some connection with the Chief Of All Immortals, the Heavenly Emperor?
Just then, several figures suddenly leaped out from behind the stele.
Cloaked in a silvery light that obscured their true faces, each held a light sword, moving swiftly, rushing towards Su Yie to attack.
Seeing this, Su Yie unleashed a punch directly.
The Power of Ten Thousand Dragons erupted, crushing everything in its path, pulverizing the mountain wall, and all the figures were swept away by the punch, everything else as flimsy as paper before the destructive force of the punch, except for the stele itself.@@novelbin@@
Boom—
The entire valley began to tremble.
"Little ancestor! How dare you act so recklessly here?" Feng Long said urgently in Su Yie's mind, wishing it could strangle him.
It was not just the valley; the entire Realm of the National Treasures began to shake, causing an uproar among numerous kings, who thought the realm was about to collapse.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that the Realm of the National Treasures is collapsing?"
"It's not just an earthquake, even the space is fluctuating!"
"What exactly happened?"
