Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 72

Ch 72: Severing the Heavenly Path Karma

Tian Chanzi was surprised, his expression became complicated, Zhou An continued, “At first I thought I was the only Heavenly Path Sect disciple, the Divine Beggar asked me to rebuild the mountain gate, so I let the Brocade Guard join the Heavenly Path Sect, and rebuild the mountain gate somewhere in the future.”

Tian Chanzi suddenly laughed loudly, put away the Demon Slaying Sword and Bright Moon Wheel, only leaving the Taoist robe on his body to release purple light to protect himself.

Zhou An stopped attacking, letting the Void Wheel surround Tian Chanzi, Hua Wuyue raised her sword fingers, Tian Chanzi was surrounded by countless flower petals, leaving him nowhere to run.

Tian Chanzi smiled, unmoved, he also took off the Taoist robe on his body, slowly folded it, put it all into the treasure sack, placed it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged.

“I can’t go back, I didn’t get through the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation, my master has the grace of nurturing me, the grace of teaching me skills, the fellow disciples and elders of the sect are very good to me, everyone is my family.

The Demonic Path and the Heretical Path are afraid of our Seven Heavenly Path Sons, and have repeatedly plotted against them in secret, they died one by one, and even their souls were not left behind.

Master was killed because he fell into their trap in order to take revenge, and even the Heavenly Path Mirror, the sect leader’s treasure, was taken away.

As a result, the Heavenly Path Sect was unable to fight against the Demonic Path and was destroyed by the demons. I escaped the disaster because I guarded the demon cave in the back mountain.

Later, after investigation, I learned that Third Senior Brother was still alive, because he liked to eat and was a few minutes late, but survived and became the later Divine Beggar. I knew that even if Third Senior Brother had gone at the beginning, the result would have been the same.

He couldn’t forgive himself and didn’t dare to return to the sect. I saw him several times, but he avoided me. I knew that his Dao heart was also on the verge of collapse, so I came up with a way to force Third Senior Brother to take on the responsibility of the sect’s inheritance.

I destroyed the mountain gate myself, so that he thought that the Heavenly Path Sect only had him left, so that he would no longer live in a daze.

And I can let go of everything to take revenge. At that time, the Golden-Robed Man came to me, and under his guidance, I found the Seven Treasures left by the sect.

In the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation, I couldn’t let go of hatred no matter what, it has eroded my Dao heart. I used the Golden-Robed Man’s secret method to seal the Heart Devil, and outsiders thought I had passed the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation.

The decline of the Heavenly Path Sect is a Heart Devil that my senior brother and I cannot let go of. Since senior brother chose you, then I can only believe him. The Heavenly Path Sect will be handed over to you in the future. I admire you for achieving this in a short time.

If possible, the emperor of the mortal world should still be passed on to others, otherwise your future path will be more difficult than you can imagine.” After Tian Chanzi finished speaking, he showed a relieved expression, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile, “Junior brother, help me with Disassembly!”

Zhou An and Hua Wuyue looked at each other, Zhou An said, “If you give up cooperating with the Golden-Robed Man, I can spare your life.”

Tian Chanzi shook his head and smiled and said, “The sect’s hatred has already made me Enter Demon. It was the Golden-Robed Man who used a secret method to suppress the Heart Devil. I have already discovered that the longer the Heart Devil is suppressed, the stronger the outbreak will be. It won’t be long before the Heart Devil breaks free from the seal, and I will be completely demonized. It’s better to start all over again and sever the karma of this life.”

Seeing Zhou An’s expression, Tian Chanzi continued, “I know what you want to ask, I don’t know the true identity of the Golden-Robed Man, I only confirm that he is a Great Power of the Righteous Path.

My senior brother and I are just his chess pieces. The Righteous-Demonic War is just the beginning, and the Western Regions over there cannot be underestimated. Okay, I have told you everything I know, come on.”

Zhou An nodded, with a thought, the Void Wheel flew down and beheaded Tian Chanzi, his Primordial Spirit flew out and disappeared into the sky.

Zhou An put away Tian Chanzi’s treasure sack and used the Great Sun True Fire to turn Tian Chanzi’s body into ashes, which scattered with the wind.

“Did the Imperial Palace really encounter a Demon Race attack?” Hua Wuyue asked worriedly.

“Yes, but it’s very lively there now. The Ten Thousand Demons King and his brothers and sisters are having a great time. With the Four Ethereal Immortals’ Four Symbols Formation, we don’t need to worry.” Zhou An showed a smile when he thought of the situation there.

The Golden-Robed Man controlled the ministers to convey the news, so he knew that he wanted to use a conspiracy to force him to choose between the Hundred Flowers Lady and the Imperial Palace. It’s a pity that the Golden-Robed Man didn’t expect that the Old Demons he brought had four internal spies, and Zhou An already knew about the Demon Race’s actions.

So this time he used a trick to lure the enemy, deliberately taking the bait. He originally planned to take this opportunity to get rid of the Golden-Robed Man, and even if he couldn’t kill him, it would be good to find out his identity and compete openly.

I didn’t expect this guy’s life-saving magic to be so powerful, but this harvest is also good. Tian Chanzi Disassembly, got all the Seven Heavenly Path Treasures, and the treasure sack left by Tian Chanzi is enough to make the Heavenly Path Sect rise again.

“Why do you always say things I don’t understand, what is ‘having a great time’?” Hua Wuyue frowned, and was really puzzled by some inexplicable languages that Zhou An sometimes blurted out.

“They are celebrating the New Year, getting together, it’s very lively, and the money for the sky full of Magic Treasures and fireworks is saved.” Zhou An smiled, he was in a particularly good mood today because of the rich harvest.

“Since everything is fine, let’s go quickly and find Master earlier, so as to avoid complications,” Hua Wuyue said.

“Yes” Zhou An nodded, and the two flew into the forest on their swords.

The Phoenix Forest is very large, almost the size of a YN Province on Earth. Ordinary people cannot enter the depths of the forest on foot at all.

Moreover, various Fierce Beasts inhabit it, and there are many demons. Not to mention ordinary people, even Houtian Martial Artists dare not enter easily.

Zhou An and Hua Wuyue flew down on their swords in the depths of the forest. It was already midnight at this moment, and the forest was pitch black, with only a few insects and plants emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Zhou An has the Ethereal Demon Eye, so darkness is not restricted, Hua Wuyue is a Flower Spirit, and can use plants to sense the surroundings.

As soon as the two came down, Zhou An received a check-in message and obtained Phoenix Tail Grass, a very rare elixir refining material.

“This Phoenix Forest is too big. Judging from the pictures in the Mystic Light Mirror, it should be at the location of the underground Fire Eye. There must be an entrance to the Fire Eye here,” Zhou An said.

“I’ll do it.” Hua Wuyue sat on the grass, pressed her hands on the ground, and the surrounding flowers and plants moved slightly closer to her, as if whispering to her.

After a while, she opened her eyes, stood up and said, “I found it.”

Zhou An followed her to a small hill in the center of the forest. At the bottom of this hill, there was an inconspicuous cave, only one meter high, covered with unknown vines, with small white fruits growing on it, emitting an unpleasant smell.

“The flowers here told me it’s inside, but the temperature inside is very high, and no plants grow, so I can’t know the situation inside,” Hua Wuyue said.

“Let’s go in and see, time is tight, your master can’t hold on for too long.” Zhou An took the lead and walked inside, the Sun Universe Pearl appeared in the palm of his left hand, ready to defend against emergencies at any time.

Hua Wuyue was the same, holding the Moon Universe Pearl in her left hand, and drilled in behind him.

The passage is relatively narrow for more than ten meters at the entrance. After entering the vertical underground passage, it begins to enlarge. The two drove the Escaping Light to fly to the bottom, and they could already feel the temperature below rising rapidly, which was definitely not a temperature that ordinary people could survive.

The rocks here have turned red, the air is filled with the smell of sulfur, and there are various toxic substances. If ordinary people come here, excluding the high temperature, the poisonous gas alone can kill people.

The two entered inside under the protection of the Sun Moon Universe Pearl, and saw an Underground Palace, with several people wearing crimson armor guarding the outside.

Zhou An signaled Hua Wuyue to follow and not make a sound, his eyes flashed with purple light, and then he walked over directly.

The people guarding the entrance of the Underground Palace acted as if they didn’t see them, and let the two walk past them and enter the Underground Palace.

This is the effect of the Ethereal Demon Eye, which can cause people to have hallucinations.

Inside the Underground Palace were some female cultivators, all of whom were not highly cultivated, all of whom were in the Houtian Realm, and all of them were practicing fire-type skills.

After searching around the Underground Palace, Zhou An checked in all four places here, and obtained fire-type weapon refining materials, and a Molten Fire Pill, which would be good for people who practice fire-type skills, but would be poison to others.

After walking through this Underground Palace, they didn’t find the Fire Eye in the Mystic Light Mirror. Hua Wuyue was a little anxious. Nearly two hours had passed since she found out, and she was afraid that her master couldn’t bear it and would be drained of essence and die.

“Don’t worry, the picture from the Mystic Light Mirror shows the Hundred Flowers Lady refining the sword, and the Fire Eye, it should be in the deeper underground, and the entrance must be hidden.

This kind of entrance should be relatively hidden, or guarded by someone. Those women who practice in the room should all be disciples, so the rooms of these people must be excluded.

Now the only thing left is the room we are in and the bedroom we just went to.”

As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, Hua Wuyue said, “Then I’ll go to the bedroom to find it.”

“Don’t worry, if it’s a hidden formation, it can’t hide from the Ethereal Demon Eye, so there must be a mechanism here. You don’t understand these things, it’s useless to go, and you might be discovered. Leave it to me.”

After comforting Hua Wuyue, he observed the two rooms according to the learned The Mysterious Doors and Evasive Arts, and used True Energy to detect the thickness of the stone and the gaps in the joints, and soon discovered the location of the secret passage in the room where they were just now.

It’s just that there was really no time to find the mechanism, so Zhou An directly cut open the stone door with the Son of Heaven Sword.

Entering inside, they continued to walk down for nearly five hundred meters, and saw a super large underground cave, with lava below, so they could only fly over on their swords.

At a Fire Eye in the distance, they saw the two swords inserted in the lava, with iron chains hanging the Hundred Flowers Lady, who was still absorbing essence, indicating that the person was still alive.

Just as Zhou An was about to go over to save people, Hua Wuyue pulled him and said, “There is a formation. I have heard my master talk about this kind of formation before. It uses the Earth’s Core Fire Eye as the formation eye, and the surrounding lava as the source of power.

If we get close, we will be attacked by this Earth’s Core Divine Fire. If we forcibly break it, it will cause the Earth Fire to erupt, which will destroy the entire Phoenix Forest. At that time, trillions of creatures will die and be injured, and all this karma will be counted on our heads, attracting Heavenly Punishment. It is a formation that belongs to mutual destruction.”
