Next, you intend to utilize the power of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace to deal with the potential threat, the Supreme Wind Demon. With the Taiyi Emperor's Palace's information network, locating the Supreme Wind Demon among the second-generation chat group of time travelers is quite simple.
The Taiyi Emperor's Palace did not disappoint you; you quickly found the hiding place of the Supreme Wind Demon. The Supreme Wind Demon was lurking above the Lei Yuan Ancient Star, hidden in the forbidden area of Lei Yuan Ancient Star. The Lei Yuan Forbidden Land is extremely dangerous for Saint Realms, and even for quasi-supremes, there is a risk of falling.
However, for the supremes, Lei Yuan Forbidden Land is nothing, a great place to hide.
After discovering the hiding place of the Supreme Wind Demon, you were quite surprised. After all, you knew that your disciple Ye Chen was brought to the Lei Yan Valley on Lei Yuan Ancient Star by Granny Ring. You didn't expect the Supreme Wind Demon to be hiding there as well.
After some contemplation, you paid a visit to your master, hoping to use your master's power to deal with the Supreme Wind Demon. Your master didn't refuse upon hearing your request and chose to agree.
If you encountered a same-generation rival or an ordinary Saint Realm cultivator, your master would not interfere, as it would help you grow. However, dealing with the Supreme Wind Demon was different. The Supreme Wind Demon was too powerful for you to handle, and even the Great Saint Guardian arranged for you by the Taiyi Emperor's Palace would not be a match and could be easily suppressed. Therefore, if left unchecked, it could threaten your life in the future, so it needed to be dealt with in advance.
Your master readily agreed to your request, and you smiled, feeling that things were going smoothly. After all, your master, as a supreme of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace, was undoubtedly one of the best among the same realm. Dealing with the Supreme Wind Demon, a time-traveling predecessor, should not be a problem.
"Gan, why can't you be more obedient? Don't make wild predictions."
Wang Ping saw the contents of the text simulation and couldn't help but frown, his mouth twitching.
In the past, making predictions would lead to trouble. Wang Ping felt that this mission to eliminate the Supreme Wind Demon would probably have its share of twists and turns.
In Wang Ping's helplessness, the simulation continued.
After preparing, you began your operation and quickly arrived at Lei Yuan Ancient Star. However, instead of taking your master directly to the Lei Yuan Forbidden Land to eliminate the Supreme Wind Demon, you first went to the Lei Yan Valley.
Your purpose in visiting Lei Yan Valley was to check on Ye Chen's current situation. After all, Ye Chen was your disciple, and you couldn't just leave him unattended.
Upon arriving at Lei Yan Valley, you and your group were warmly welcomed by the valley's master and even the ancient ancestors of Lei Yan Valley. They were somewhat flattered. After all, you came from the Transcendent Immortal Continent, and you were from the Taiyi Emperor's Palace. The Taiyi Emperor's Palace, a terrifying force that had given birth to five Great Emperors, was undoubtedly a powerful faction. Among all the Emperor-level forces, it was one of the strongest, with very few rivals in the Upper Realm.
Now that the people of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace had come to Lei Yan Valley, it was undoubtedly an honor for Lei Yan Valley. Even the Supreme of Lei Yan Valley had to set aside his supreme demeanor and show great enthusiasm towards you, although he couldn't fawn over you, he completely dropped the airs of a senior and supreme expert.
You were quite pleased with Lei Yan Valley's attitude and reflected on how having a powerful backing made a difference. If you continued to be a wandering cultivator, not to mention how you would be treated by a supreme, even a Great Saint would look down on you and be willing to kill you with impunity.
Next, you inquired about Ye Chen's situation. When the Supreme and the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley heard your inquiry, they were surprised and puzzled. However, the expression on the Valley Master's face became somewhat stiff and unnatural.
You keenly noticed the change in the Valley Master's expression and frowned, suspecting that something might have happened to Ye Chen. Your expression turned cold, and you inquired once more.
Seeing your cold expression, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley awkwardly smiled but didn't know how to answer your question. Seeing this, the Supreme of Lei Yan Valley furrowed his brow and urged the Valley Master to explain everything without holding back.
Seeing this, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley had no choice but to reveal some of the events that had happened in the past. It turned out that nearly ten thousand years ago, after bringing Ye Chen back to Lei Yan Valley, they discovered that Ye Chen's talent was quite average.
However, because Ye Chen was the benefactor of one of the ancient ancestors of Lei Yan Valley and had been taken as a disciple by that ancestor, they did not neglect Ye Chen. Instead, they made an exception and allowed him to become a true disciple, providing him with many resources for cultivation.
However, they did not expect that Ye Chen would commit a heinous act by stealing their forbidden martial arts technique.
Hence, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley was furious and crippled Ye Chen, expelling him from Lei Yan Valley. Upon hearing that the Valley Master said he had crippled Ye Chen, your expression instantly turned ice-cold, and anger surged within you. Ye Chen stealing Lei Yan Valley's forbidden martial arts technique? That was absolutely baseless.
After all, you had taught Ye Chen extensively. Ye Chen was cultivating the Divine Emperor's Scripture, which you had passed down to him, and even your own self-created martial arts. You hadn't just given him the basic version of the Divine Emperor's Scripture; you had transmitted the complete martial art to him. Although Wang Ping had obtained the complete Divine Emperor's Scripture later on and hadn't visited the mortal realm since then, Ye Xiaofan and the others were still in the mortal realm, and you had transmitted the martial art to them through Ye Xiaofan.
Therefore, it was impossible for Ye Chen, who was cultivating the Divine Emperor's Scripture, to covet Lei Yan Valley's forbidden martial arts technique. The idea that Ye Chen, who was cultivating the Emperor's Scripture, would practice another martial art was simply absurd.
If it had been an Immortal Scripture, it would have been another matter, but Lei Yan Valley, with its strongest being a supreme, had at most one supreme martial art. It was impossible for Ye Chen, who was cultivating the Emperor's Scripture, to abandon his own cultivation to practice something else.
You were highly skeptical of the situation, and it seemed likely that Lei Yan Valley had coveted the Divine Emperor's Scripture within Ye Chen, prompting them to take certain actions. After all, during the time when you didn't have a powerful backing, you were often hunted down by others because of your martial arts.
Cultivating the Divine Emperor's Scripture was fine since people would assume you were from the Dao Palace. However, the Divine Emperor's Scripture was the martial art of the Red Clan, and the Red Emperor had long since disappeared, with the Red Clan seemingly extinct.
In the eyes of many, they had already been wiped out. As a result, many powerful figures didn't hesitate to target those who cultivated the Divine Emperor's Scripture, as there was little to no restraint.
Seeing your increasingly cold expression, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley became more frightened and could only claim that Ye Chen had indeed stolen martial arts techniques, and he was not lying.
The Supreme of Lei Yan Valley sighed and asked about your relationship with Ye Chen. You coldly stated that Ye Chen was your disciple, your first disciple.
Hearing this, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley felt a knot in his heart and sensed that things were not going well. Even the Supreme of Lei Yan Valley fell silent, not expecting such a relationship between you and Ye Chen.
You were a prince of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace, and Ye Chen was your first disciple. In some sense, Ye Chen could also be considered a member of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace. If the Taiyi Emperor's Palace's important figure had been crippled here, it would be a huge problem. Now, it was not just a matter of whether Ye Chen had made a mistake; they would have to bear the responsibility for harming an important figure of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace.
The Supreme of Lei Yan Valley could only sigh and express that this was a mistake on the part of Lei Yan Valley. However, he hoped that you and your master would give him some face and allow him to investigate the matter thoroughly, find Ye Chen, and then restore Ye Chen's cultivation. He promised to provide sufficient compensation and explanations to both of you.
Seeing the Supreme of Lei Yan Valley make such a statement, you calmed down considerably. It seemed that the Supreme of Lei Yan Valley was unaware of the situation, which meant that this was likely the result of the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley and some important figures in Lei Yan Valley acting on their own. Therefore, since the Supreme of Lei Yan Valley had put aside his supreme dignity to apologize to you, he couldn't continue to make things difficult for him.
For this reason, you expressed your hope that the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley would quickly find out the truth. The Supreme of Lei Yan Valley sighed and nodded. Then, he allowed the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley to open up his Sea of Knowledge, allowing you to examine his memories.
Hearing this, you were quite surprised. The Supreme was acting decisively. After all, allowing an outsider to examine the memories of the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley and the Supreme was two completely different concepts. If he searched his own memories, Lei Yan Valley would not lose face.
Seeing your choice, your master was also quite surprised but then showed a grateful expression. After all, having an outsider search the memories of the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley was a completely different matter from searching the memories of the Supreme himself. If he searched his own memories, Lei Yan Valley's face would not be lost.
Seeing your choice, your master was also quite surprised but then showed a grateful expression. After all, having an outsider search the memories of the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley was a completely different matter from searching the memories of the Supreme himself. If he searched his own memories, Lei Yan Valley's face would not be lost.
Every prince had the qualification to compete for the position of the Palace Master of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace. However, vying for the position of Palace Master was not just about strength; it was more about one's abilities. After all, under normal circumstances, who would dare to take action against the Palace Master of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace? Therefore, managerial skills were even more important. After all, the Palace Master of the Taiyi Emperor's Palace was chosen from the princes, and even if the chosen prince was not the strongest among them, they would not be weak by any means.
And now, with your current choice, you could win over a supreme and potentially make Lei Yan Valley your wingman. This undoubtedly helped you in your future competition for the position of Palace Master in the Taiyi Emperor's Palace.
As the Supreme of Lei Yan Valley searched the memories of the Valley Master, his expression instantly became grim. It turned out that the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley had indeed lied; Ye Chen had not stolen their forbidden martial arts technique. Instead, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley, with greedy eyes on Ye Chen's Divine Emperor's Scripture, had ulterior motives toward Ye Chen.
Originally, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley had tried to tempt Ye Chen into handing over the Divine Emperor's Scripture, promising that if he did, he would provide Ye Chen with ample resources to cultivate and help him become a Saint.
However, Ye Chen did not hand over the Flame Emperor's Scripture. Because of this, the Master of Lei Yan Valley was furious and found a reason to cripple Ye Chen, intending to search his soul for the martial art.
If it weren't for Ye Chen's Granny Ring discovering Lei Yan Valley's master's conspiracy in time and taking Ye Chen away, Ye Chen would have died at the hands of the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley.
The Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley, in order to obtain the Flame Emperor's Scripture and cover his tracks, personally pursued and killed Ye Chen and Granny Ring. Because Granny Ring's lineage within Lei Yan Valley was already in decline and not well-regarded, he had no reservations about killing them.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Granny Ring's abilities. Granny Ring was a Grand Saint in her prime, and even though she had weakened significantly, she still had many tricks up her sleeve. After burning her soul energy, she managed to escape with Ye Chen, leaving no trace behind.
Seeing the displeasure on the face of Lei Yan Supreme, you instantly guessed that there was a problem with the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley. Your expression darkened, and you couldn't help but inquire about what had happened.
Lei Yan Supreme remained silent for a moment and then revealed the true situation to you. This infuriated you, and you harbored extreme hostility towards the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley. Even your master frowned. What the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley had done was indeed despicable. The Flame Emperor's Scripture was precious, and for Lei Yan Valley, which practiced both thunder and fire attributes, it was undoubtedly tempting.
However, such behavior was disgraceful, as they not only killed their own disciples but also slaughtered the elders within the valley, showing extreme ruthlessness.
Lei Yan Supreme had an unpleasant expression on his face and promised to give you an explanation. He would suppress all those involved in this matter within Lei Yan Valley and hand them over to you for judgment. At the same time, he would make efforts to find Ye Chen soon.
After calming your emotions, you nodded calmly. Ye Chen was the Son of Destiny, and after arriving in the Upper Realm, his destiny had undoubtedly improved. Despite his tough journey so far, he was unlikely to die easily. Instead, he might have gained significant opportunities and his cultivation had possibly reached the Saint level.
With these thoughts in mind, you ruthlessly dealt with those who had participated in this incident within Lei Yan Valley. You showed no mercy, directly suppressing them.
After this, the Valley Master of Lei Yan Valley and some of the elders fell at your hands. Once the matter was settled, Lei Yan Supreme expressed that if you ever encountered trouble in the future, he would lend a hand.
"Ye Chen, this guy really has a lot of bad luck. It seems like when he arrived in the Upper Realm, he started following the path of a waste. Why does it feel like he's on the path of no challenge again?" Wang Ping read the simulated text with a complex expression.
Ye Chen had been imprisoned by the Purple Cloud Sacred Grounds on the Lei Yuan Ancient Star after arriving in the Upper Realm. Then, he lost his cultivation after coming to Lei Yan Valley, disappearing without a trace. It was truly a miserable turn of events.
On the other hand, Ye Chen had once again embarked on the path of invincibility. With full effort, Wang Ping believed that there was likely no one at the same level who could challenge him, and he could easily engage in cross-level battles as if it were as simple as eating and drinking.
"Choosing the path of invincibility is undoubtedly better, even though it might be tough at times. Why willingly endure hardships when you can enjoy the sweetness of success?" Wang Ping muttered to himself.
"However, in this world, it seems like your background matters a lot." Wang Ping remembered the attitude of Lei Yan Supreme mentioned in the simulated text and couldn't help but sigh. He continued to gaze at the screen.
Regarding Lei Yan Supreme's promise, you nodded in agreement and didn't say much. Instead, you decided to enter the Lei Yuan Forbidden Land with your master.
However, before entering the Lei Yuan Forbidden Land, your master instructed you to stay outside. Lei Yuan Forbidden Land was still quite dangerous for you as a Saint, and there was a risk of getting trapped inside if you weren't careful. Even though your master was a Supreme, in the event of an all-out battle among Supremes, he might not be able to protect you.
Seeing this, you didn't insist on going inside and chose to wait outside. Soon, you felt a terrifying aura emanating from the Lei Yuan Forbidden Land.
This aura was different from the Supreme auras of your master and Lei Yan Supreme. Clearly, the time-traveling predecessor, the Supreme Wind Demon, had been forced out by your master, leading to an earth-shattering battle.
Feeling the collision of the two Supreme auras, you couldn't help but be amazed. After all, this was your first time witnessing a battle between Supremes. Although you had seen more terrifying power clashes on the Taiyi Ancient Star, where the collisions between Emperor artifacts were even more formidable than Supreme battles, witnessing a battle between Supremes was a first for you.
At the same time, all the cultivators on Lei Yuan Ancient Star were shocked by the overwhelming aura of the two Supremes. They were trembling with awe. After all, in Lei Yuan Ancient Star, there had only been one Supreme - Lei Yan Supreme.
Witnessing a Supreme battle was beneficial for cultivation, but it also posed the risk of calamity. Supremes were incredibly powerful, and if they didn't control their power properly, they could destroy the entire ancient star. If the ancient star were shattered, the resulting terrifying energy would likely spell doom even for Saints and Saint Kings.
However, this calamity could only happen if the forces of the Supremes' battle directly impacted the ancient star, which had not occurred so far. Otherwise, even Saints would not survive it.
Lei Yan Supreme, too, watched the battle of the Supremes thoughtfully. He had never expected that your purpose for coming to Lei Yuan Ancient Star was not just to deal with Ye Chen but also to confront the Supreme Wind Demon.
As the Supreme Ancestor of Lei Yan Valley, Lei Yan Supreme was aware that a powerful Supreme had been lurking in the Lei Yuan Forbidden Land for a long time. However, because this Supreme had always kept a low profile, he had never provoked them, choosing to peacefully coexist.
Now, your master had forced this Supreme Wind Demon out, and Lei Yan Supreme recognized the origin of this Supreme Wind Demon. He had been a renowned Supreme in the Central Ancient Star Region.
In the hierarchy of realms, there were clear distinctions of strength: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak for each realm. The Supreme Wind Demon, in his prime, had achieved the pinnacle of the Supreme realm. Such strength was incredibly formidable, and within the realm of Supremes, he had few equals. Only the likes of the Black Abyss Demon Supreme, a Supreme of extraordinary talent, could easily defeat him.
However, even Supremes were not immune to the Five Declines of Heaven and Human. The Supreme Wind Demon had neared the end of his life, and his power had significantly waned.
For this reason, even though your master's cultivation is only at the peak of Earth Sovereign, he was able to confront him head-on and ultimately exhaust him.
In the end, nothing unexpected happened; the Wind Demon Sovereign was beyond salvation and was successfully worn down by your master, leading to his ultimate demise. However, your master also suffered severe injuries. A peak-level Heavenly Sovereign is still formidable even when weakened significantly.
As you watched your master achieve victory, successfully killing the Wind Demon Sovereign, a senior member of the second-generation chat group, you breathed a sigh of relief.
However, you remembered something crucial: Chu Xiao had managed to acquire a resurrection item in the past. Although it might have been a result of Chu Xiao's personal opportunities, given that the Wind Demon Sovereign had experienced so much in his long life, including visits to the Paradise of Myriad Realms, the possibility of him possessing such an item was not insignificant.
Even though the Wind Demon Sovereign had lost everything during his time in the Paradise of Myriad Realms, he wouldn't have left behind such a valuable item. With a change in your expression, you urgently warned your master to be cautious.
Unfortunately, your realization came too late. The Wind Demon Sovereign suddenly revived himself. Although his combat strength was no longer at its peak, he still possessed formidable power. With this sudden revival, he launched a surprise attack, pushing your master to the brink of death.
The Wind Demon Sovereign then relentlessly attacked your master, ultimately killing him. Seeing this, your expression changed dramatically, and you decided to escape without hesitation.
However, the Wind Demon Sovereign had clearly noticed you and harbored a deep grudge against you. He reached out to capture you without hesitation, intending to capture you and seize your body through a possession ritual.
"These individuals who entered the Paradise of Myriad Realms are indeed extraordinary. Some of those who previously ventured into the Paradise of Myriad Realms may have had the opportunity to obtain resurrection items," Wang Ping mumbled as he read the simulated text.
It seemed his premonition had come true, and trouble was brewing.
The Wind Demon Sovereign was even more powerful than he had imagined, despite his weakened state due to his limited lifespan. His array of trump cards made him a formidable foe.
"It looks like this simulation should end here. However, the information gathered this time is quite substantial," Wang Ping muttered to himself. These time-traveling predecessors were proving to be exceptionally challenging to deal with.
Especially the Wind Demon Sovereign, who had a plethora of hidden cards. The cursed item he used for assassination was particularly revolting, capable of killing anyone below the Sovereign level. Its effects were horrifying.
"But, there should be some limitations to that cursed item's usage. Most likely, it has a range restriction; otherwise, the Wind Demon Sovereign could have simply used it on me without needing Ruo Lan to transport me," Wang Ping contemplated.
Of course, there was also the possibility that the Wind Demon Sovereign was unwilling to use such a precious item.
Wang Ping sighed and thought to himself, "Regardless of the circumstances, I shouldn't be overly concerned about the Wind Demon Sovereign's cursed item. After all, I have many ways to resurrect myself, and losing one life isn't a big deal."
With a sigh of relief, Wang Ping calmed down. However, he couldn't help but become even more interested in the Paradise of Myriad Realms. The items the Wind Demon Sovereign possessed were undoubtedly obtained there, and their effects were incredibly potent, possibly even surpassing some of the golden talents Wang Ping had unlocked.
