The Ancestral Temple Changes

Chapter 1740: Ancestral Hall Changes

The Emperor and Empress looked at the Heavenly Army, which was getting closer and closer to the Ancestral Palace. However, there were only 700,000 Heavenly Army soldiers left. In the Heavenly Emperor's chariot, Emperor Haotian had a gloomy face. He sat there motionless, looked haggard, and without any life, as if he was already dead.

Emperor Haotian is now in more pain than death.

During their escape, they were repeatedly hunted down. The armies of Yankang and the myriad worlds grew in number. After leaving the Yuan Realm and marching to the place where Emperor Ming died in battle, the army of Heaven was already almost as large as the Yankang coalition forces.

The place where Emperor Ming died was originally a battlefield at the end of the Chi Ming era. After Emperor Minghuang was resurrected, the Xiantian Court marched here at full speed and launched a major battle with the remaining forces of the Heavenly Court.

The previous battle in the Blood Rust Zone had already caused heavy casualties to the remaining members of Heaven. When they arrived at the place where Emperor Ming died, this battle also involved Yue Tianzun, Lang Hui, You Tianzun, Xu Shenghua, Gongsun Yan and others. After a fierce battle, Jiang Baigui deliberately left a way for the remaining members of Heaven to break out of the siege.

Since this battle, the momentum of the Heavenly Court has been getting weaker day by day. You Tianzun would launch sneak attacks from Youdu from time to time, sneak into the life and death of the gods and demons of the Heavenly Court, and make the soldiers of the Heavenly Court die inexplicably one by one.

The mutiny of the soldiers in Heaven occurred on the night when Emperor Haotian ordered all the soldiers to abolish the divine storage of life and death.

After this order was issued, many soldiers in Heaven were dissatisfied. With the abolition of the Secret Library of Life and Death, the lifespan of gods and demons would no longer be the same as that of heaven and earth, but everyone's lifespan would have an end.

The Heavenly Court had suffered repeated defeats. If the Four Heavenly Masters were still there at this time, they could have boosted morale and reorganized the situation. However, of the Four Heavenly Masters, only Shang Ping was left hiding in the South Sky, and the others were either dead or betrayed.

The soldiers in Heaven mutinied and were suppressed by Emperor Haotian, but most of them fled at night and escaped into the starry sky.

Since then, some of the soldiers of the Heavenly Court would flee every day, and when they approached the ancestral court, only these 700,000 gods and demons were left.

"Emperor Haotian was completely defeated."

The Empress' eyes flickered, and she thought to herself, "His Dao heart is gone. Even if he returns to the ancestral court, he will not be able to regroup. The various tribes are rebelling, the number of soldiers is decreasing, and the Heavenly Court cannot develop in the ancestral court at all. In this battle, Mu Tianzun completely defeated him! Should I replace him..."

She then shook her head. Now Yankang has the advantage of time, place and people. All the heavens and worlds are rebelling, and the territory of heaven is shrinking rapidly. It is still unknown whether the ancestral temple can be preserved.

Seizing power now and declaring oneself emperor would only be asking for trouble!

Whoever is the Emperor of Heaven will die a more miserable death!

"Besides, I should also plan for my future."

The Empress said to herself, "The situation in Heaven is over, and my power will surely become a pipe dream. If I defect from Heaven now and join Mu Tianzun, I can still be a loyal minister who has abandoned darkness and joined the light. I can still be high above and lord it over others, and I can still be one of the Ten Heavenly Lords. If I am a step late, I will be a defeated general who surrenders and can only be a prisoner..."

Power is a commodity that can be bought and sold. Dynasties may come and go, but what cannot be replaced are the people and forces at the center of power. This is how the game has been played since ancient times.

The emperor and empress have seen too much.

She had just thought of this when suddenly the Lingxiao Palace behind Emperor Haotian's head vibrated, the red knot automatically opened, and waves of surging Taoist power surged out, filling Emperor Haotian's body in an instant, surging endlessly!

The Emperor and Empress' hearts skipped a beat and they quickly dismissed the little thoughts in their minds.

"All troops, prepare to enter the ancestral temple!"

Emperor Haotian stood up, his previous dejection swept away, and he shouted loudly: "The ancestral temple is our hometown, and the place where we will make a comeback! We have not lost this battle yet!"

Although he spoke passionately, few people responded. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in heaven walked stiffly in the starry sky like zombies.

Emperor Haotian turned around and said to the Empress happily, "Mother, the Third Young Master has broken the ban and is out. The overall situation has been decided! After arriving at the ancestral temple, everything in the past will be a test for us and will only make us stronger!"

The Emperor and Empress smiled but said nothing.

Finally, the remaining troops of Heaven entered the ancestral temple, and in front of them, the grand Heaven was in sight.

Heaven is a supreme divine weapon formed by combining countless divine weapons and heavy weapons. It is also the most solid fortress in the world today and their last hope.

As long as they enter the Heavenly Palace and seal the world barrier of the ancestral palace, Yankang and the coalition forces of the heavens and myriad worlds will suffer countless casualties if they want to attack!

Moreover, the ancestral temple is extremely rich. Occupying it means occupying an invincible position!

Yankang, a barren land, has developed to its current size in two hundred years and almost unified the universe. The current Heaven is many times better than Yankang back then. With time, the Heaven can become extremely powerful!

However, the joy on the faces of Emperor Haotian and all the soldiers in Heaven froze, and they stood in the sky like a fool.

In front of them, above the Heavenly Palace, five Tao trees hung high at the east, south, west, north and center poles of the Heavenly Palace. Those were the Tao trees of five Tao masters, and they were filled with the solemn power of Tao.

And in the Heavenly Palace, there are numerous sacred beings who are comparable to the Heavenly Lord, each with a different appearance, and their divine power fills the Heavenly Palace.

Below, in the ancestral temple, there are sacred cities of all sizes scattered throughout, shining brightly, each guarded by a powerful, divine, Heavenly Venerable-level guard!

Further away, in the original territory of Mu Tianzun, where the Big Black Mountain is located, under the World Tree, all kinds of magnificent sacred cities sprang up from the ground, and even sacred cities were built on the leaves!

The current ancestral temple looks completely different from when they mobilized their entire army to attack the Yuan Realm!

Suddenly, Emperor Haotian sat down, lost control of his emotions and burst into tears.

"Mu Tianzun, you are shameless in order to defeat me and seize my power and position!"

He cried very sadly, and cried like a tearful man, cursing and crying: "You knew you couldn't beat me, so you released the prehistoric strongman under the world tree. You are a scoundrel, you are a sinner of the entire universe! Old dog Mu, you are seeking fame and reputation, you have harmed the entire universe, you have harmed everyone, you should commit suicide to thank the world! You will not die a good death!"

At this moment, the voice of the Third Young Master came from the Lingxiao Palace behind his head, saying lightly: "I asked the Lord of the Spiritual Official Palace to release these strong men. This is our way to win."

Emperor Haotian stopped crying immediately and said respectfully, "Sir, there must be a deep meaning behind this action. May I ask for your advice?"

The voice of the Third Young Master Ling Xiao came: "Not all the strong men under the World Tree have attained enlightenment. After all, those who have attained enlightenment are still a minority. Lingguan risked his life to free them, which was a great achievement. These prehistoric strong men can be easily subdued, and the more they die, the easier it will be for my blood sacrifice."

Emperor Haotian bent his body, listened quietly, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.

The Third Young Master continued, "If you want to subdue them, the most crucial point is to enter the Jade Capital City of the Ancestor Court. After you get there, in the long river of chaos in the 16th Epoch, the Fourth Young Master Zixiao will give you a string. With this string, you can harvest countless lives! Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed with one string."

Emperor Haotian was overjoyed.

The Third Young Master continued, "On the other hand, the blood sacrifice in the Yuan Realm has also reached a critical period. In the next two years, the three Palace Masters, Huanxi, Changfeng, and Chuge, will descend. With these three Palace Masters assisting you, the overall situation can be determined."

Emperor Haotian bowed and kowtowed, choking with sobs, "My lord, I will never forget your kindness and love!"

“That doesn’t have to be the case.”

Third Young Master Ling Xiao said calmly, "My Miluo Palace is known for its benevolent virtues. If you hadn't harbored ill intentions and had second thoughts about Miluo Palace, you wouldn't have ended up like this. But it's not your fault, it's Old Seven's fault. He was like a stone in a cesspool, smelly and hard, and he had to resist me, which led to so many tragedies and fights. But this time, the outcome is set."

Emperor Haotian straightened up and gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Tianzun has committed evil deeds, so he will never have a good end!"

The Third Young Master was also somewhat helpless and said, "If he could be killed, he would have died long ago. You did a great job sending him back to the past universe."

Emperor Haotian hesitated for a moment, then said with a stiff upper lip: "My lord, Mu Tianzun was not drowned in the river, but was set free by a traitor on the way..."

The Third Young Master was silent for a moment: "Not enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to cause trouble."

Emperor Haotian hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Get up, have some backbone."

The Third Young Master's voice was somewhat unhappy as he said, "There is no distinction between master and servant in my Miro Palace. Anyone who enters the Miro Palace is a fellow Taoist. If you still kneel down to worship me when the Miro Palace descends in the future, you will be ridiculed. The knees of those who have attained enlightenment are not so soft."

Emperor Haotian was ashamed and got up.

"You must prepare immediately and head to Yujing City to pull out this string that spans the two universes and the catastrophe of destruction!"

Emperor Haotian gathered his thoughts and said to the Empress, "We have come to the ancestral palace. The Heavenly Palace has been occupied by prehistoric warriors. They have five enlightened ones and so many prehistoric warriors to help them. They are very powerful and it is not easy to send troops to attack them. We will have to work together in the future. The Empress will stay here and do not clash with them directly. I will go to Yujing City and come back."

The Empress smiled and said, "Hao'er, go ahead."

Emperor Haotian was a little displeased when he heard her say Hao'er instead of Your Majesty: "When I make a comeback, I will get back everything I lost double!"

He dodged away.

In the Metaverse, one Lan Yutian after another searched the heaven and earth for the location of the blood sacrifice altar. Over the years, he has searched everywhere in the Metaverse and even turned the underground upside down.

It is not easy to search for the Blood Sacrifice Altar. The Blood Sacrifice Altar is made of Daluotian fragments. It is easy to hide but difficult to search.

The metaverse is so vast that it would be very time-consuming and laborious to search it all.

One day, he was searching the thirty-six layers of the void in the Yuan Realm, when he suddenly felt something in his heart. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged, sensed it carefully, then jumped up and flew away in the thirty-fifth layer of the void.

As he ran wildly, he activated his magical powers, and the void in front of him suddenly cracked open layer by layer, as if a scallion was being peeled off layer by layer!

boom!

When the last layer of void was peeled off, a piece of Daluotian fragment appeared in front of him!

In the fragments of Daluotian, the hexagonal prisms rotated, and various bloody rune marks were constantly imprinted on the metaverse!

"We have found the first altar! Then the other altars will not be difficult to find!"

Lan Yutian rushed into the Daluotian fragments and stood on one foot on the hexagonal column. His numerology attainments were not high. If Qin Mu was here, he would definitely calculate the imprint position of the altar rune, and then calculate the position of other altars through numerology. However, he had a stronger sense of Tao, and directly attached his consciousness to the hexagonal column, which radiated along with the power of the altar.

"... two, three, four, five, six..."

Lan Yutian sensed carefully and soon found the location of the sixteen Daluotian fragments that covered the Yuan Realm, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then the center of the altar is..."

He continued to sense, his face changed slightly. There were three center points of the altar. It had been eight years since the counterattack. In eight years, it was likely that enlightened beings would descend on the three center altars!

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that any enlightened person from the Miro Palace was not someone he could deal with, let alone three of them?

At this moment, he saw a golden ship sailing out from the ultimate void.

On the golden ship, Qin Mu sat on an upright coffin, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

"elder brother!"

Lan Yutian quickly flew into the air and landed on the golden boat. He told Qin Mu what he had discovered and said, "I am definitely no match for the three enlightened ones from the Miro Palace!"

Qin Mu opened his eyes and smiled, "Don't underestimate yourself. Besides, we are not fighting alone. Don't we have Shang Jun? Brother, come and see this coffin. Can you open it?"

Qin Mu's eyes were bright and encouraging: "If you can open it, thirty enlightened ones can beat you to death!"
