Demon Emperor Zhengheng felt he was incredibly unlucky, originally wanting to trick Lingyun into giving him the Divine Cultivation Skill, but before obtaining it, he ended up giving away his own cultivation method instead.

However, he did not regret it.

That little rascal Chen Pingping had developed a golden original force, and a God Niche drifted over from the Boundless Sea, suppressing the Zhu Family ancestors.

The cause and effect of this matter were too great; if the entanglement continued, he feared he would die in this era.

Bad luck, bad luck.

Zhengheng dragged Lan Yi back to his dojo, hurriedly packing while mumbling, "Remember, do not get too close to that kid; his ancestral grave smoked, but not green, definitely black smoke."

"Master, are we going to flee?" Lan Yi asked with bright eyes.

"Nonsense…" Zhengheng put down his bag, glaring righteously, "I'm taking you to the Ancient Battlefield to seek opportunities, open the wheel deep within your Dantian… well, hurry and pack, or else we won't be able to run away."

Lan Yi replied with an "oh," thinking, "Isn't this fleeing?"

She was quite unwilling but bright-eyed when thinking of the Ancient Battlefield Zhengheng mentioned.

Historical records told that the Human Emperor crossed the Ancient City, traversed the Void God Realm, and finally ascended from Tianqiong Tower, stepping into the legendary Ancient Battlefield.

There they spilled Emperor Blood, slew formidable foes, continually paving the way for future Human Clan generations.

Ancient texts stated at least seventy to eighty percent of Human Emperors fell in the Ancient Battlefield, and there were rumors of God remnants there, pressing down like a great mountain…

Moreover, the Ancient Battlefield bordered the Heavens and myriad worlds, becoming a "road."

The Human Clan called it the "God Slaying Road."

"This journey, life and death unknown, if we can enter the battlefield, the Divine Clan will be stained with blood; if lucky and not dead, entering the Heavens and myriad worlds…" Zhengheng mused, his deeply sunken eyes flaring brighter, like a lone lamp suddenly igniting: "Hmm, first seek the master."

This was a secret.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a donkey from a small mountain village was indeed owned, but its master had long since left, leaving it to live alone.

Over the long years, it had never given up searching.

It could open a void channel, directly entering the Heavens, but… its master had once said that any creature on human earth should ideally traverse the Void God Realm, ascend from Tianqiong Tower, enter the battlefield, bathe in Divine Blood, perceive the call and guidance of ancestor Heroic Spirits, receive the most fundamental cleansing, then enter the Heavens and myriad worlds. Only then could they truly contend with the Divine Clan.

He had prepared for years, understanding he had hidden for years…

Afraid of failure.

But this time, he was forced to embark.

While packing, Demon Emperor Zhengheng suddenly straightened his body, shouting, "Lan Yi, Lan Yi, come quickly to help me count; am I missing any clothes?"

"There are still two hanging outside, Master!" Lan Yi's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, oh, then I'm relieved!" Zhengheng sighed in relief.

The clothes he wore were not ordinary clothes but treasures, totaling thirty-three pieces, which his master refined years ago but could not take away, leaving them in the small mountain village.

After tidying the room, he quickly ran outside, confirming two pieces hanging on the bamboo pole, swaying in the wind, he waved his large hand and took them back.

Lan Yi happened to approach, "Master, I'm ready."

Zhengheng nodded, taking her far away.

...

A certain path.

Yue Wuxia came searching.

Beside her, Han Sanqian mumbled all along: "Big Brother, we should flee! That kid is doomed, truly, no one can save him."

"Want a beating?" She squinted her eyes, showing ferocity without doubt.

"After you beat me, can you let me flee?" Han Sanqian almost cried, provoking Heaven Rank would surely lead to death!

"No!" Yue Wuxia huffed, patting her chest, "Pingping is under my wing; naturally, I ensure his safety. And you're my only friend in the Void God Realm; shouldn't friends help each other?"

"..."

Seemed so reasonable.

Han Sanqian had a distressed look, "When finding that kid later, shall I help you flee?"

Yue Wuxia angered: "Why are you always thinking of fleeing? Can't you be steady like me? Besides, Pingping is the strongest mortal; a few Heaven Rank are nothing!"

He directly ignored the latter part.

Could the strongest mortal need to open the viscera?

Likely couldn't endure, hence seeking opportunities in the Void God Realm, now provoking Heaven Rank families, hey…

Han Sanqian dared not speak further.

Soon, Yue Wuxia located Chen Pingping through Divine Sense; he was with Lingyun Emperor on a mountain.

Chen Pingping talked about the Taoist Sect elder.

This astonished Lingyun greatly: "He's still alive?"

"While I was around, the elder was alive, now perhaps…" Chen Pingping appeared sorrowful.

Too many admirable big shots were among humanity; the Taoist Sect elder undoubtedly ranked among the top ten, having suppressed the alliance eras for humanity, only letting go after his Tao Verification.

He exhausted everything, his Life Origin long dried, leaving only a weathered body.

A solitary silhouette, a withered Taoist Sect.

Whenever reminiscing, Chen Pingping couldn't help but grieve.

"What did he tell you? Did he give you anything?" Lingyun asked.

"Guided my path." Chen Pingping said.

Lingyun was once more shocked; during his Tao Verification, he had also entered the Ancient City and met the elder, but unfortunately, the elder never turned around.

The conversation lasted not more than an hour, afterward the elder waved him away, never rising, nor looking at him.

Now, hundreds of thousands of years later, that elder had guided Chen Pingping on the path?

This kid…

"Who is your master?" Lingyun further questioned.

"Wen Dynasty, current Princess Wen Yuqing." Chen Pingping said.

"What?" That answer made Lingyun leap…

He was born in the era following the Wen Dynasty's vanishing, hence… he heard mostly about that dynasty, nearly absorbing its essence.

Thus Lingyun greatly admired everyone from the dynasty, revering its ruler, even considering emulating Wenliang during his youth.

Of course, he also knew Wen Yuqing's name; after the dynasty's fall, she was the sole survivor.

Lingyun was caught in astonishment, his heart fluctuating, then continuing: "Is your master still living?"

"Fallen." Chen Pingping's words were concise, devoid of sorrow or joy, as if narrating matters unrelated to him.

After saying it, he slightly averted his eyes.

This time, not waiting for Lingyun to inquire further, he stated: "Master fell in the Dead Sea."

The last Wen bloodline still couldn't escape misfortune.

Lingyun felt suffocated, offering solace: "Condolences, try to make peace."

Chen Pingping smiled, pondering: "Master's fall has become fact, but… this fact never passes, it accompanies the Divine Clan's downfall, godhood's extinction, the Heavens' collapse, plunging into perpetual darkness."

Phew!

Chen Pingping exhaled heavily, looking up, seeing Yue Wuxia and Han Sanqian running over from the other side, he cheerfully shouted: "Here!"

Lingyun spared a glance at the two, not focusing much, he sternly continued: "Since the elder entrusted the God Niche suppressing Zhu Yan to you, evidently you matter significantly to him, maybe you possess something special, allowing him to see the path ahead. If so, as a 'senior,' I shouldn't be too stingy."

Pausing, he spoke again: "The God Niche's Zhu Yan suppression is exposed; the only recourse is sending you into the Heavens and myriad worlds; otherwise you won't find peace."

"Thank you, senior!" Chen Pingping rejoiced, his time in the Void God Realm was brief, unfamiliar with it, clueless about Tianqiong Tower or the Ancient Battlefield.

Without guidance, he might spend ages understanding.

Not to mention the Heaven Rank obstacles.

With Lingyun as a senior, he could save seventy to eighty percent of time.
