Wuxian Realm.
The land of ancient desolation.
Ferocious beasts tread upon mountains and rivers, golden war chariots cut through the sky, and the aura of the powerful surged like tides, making even the heavens tremble.
"What is the current situation in the other cave heavens?"
On the Primordial Law Boat, Yin Hong's face was stern. Opposite him sat the elites of the Eastern Peak, along with two accompanying sect elders.
After speaking, an elder from the Eastern Peak responded solemnly, "Report to the peak master, besides our Primordial Cave Heaven, other cave heaven empires have also approached the ancient desolation. Within a few days, they will formally enter the domain of the ancient desolation. According to reports from the disciples, the Qingyang Immortal Nation has established eighteen cities in the ancient desolation, with many strong practitioners residing there, intending to block our cave heaven army!"
"Hmph, mere eighteen cities dare to obstruct us, they are truly overestimating themselves. It is pathetic that the ancient desolation has fallen to the point of being invaded by foreign tribes, with three major cave heavens being annihilated."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed mocking expressions, their words filled with undisguised contempt for the three cave heavens of the ancient desolation.
After all, the Wuxian Realm had always been strong. When other realm channels opened in the past, they often became targets of conquest for the Wuxian Realm, never had they seen a place occupied by foreign enemies.
The annihilation of the three major cave heavens and the complete control of the ancient desolation by the Qingyang Immortal Nation was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face to all forces in the Wuxian Realm.
This was also why emperor-level forces like the Primordial Cave Heaven decided to join forces, vowing to eradicate the Qingyang Immortal Nation from its roots.
Yin Hong said indifferently, "It is rumored that the Qingyang Immortal Nation originated in the Era of Decline. Later, a powerful figure emerged, founding the Qingyang Immortal Nation, and within just a few decades, it developed to its current scale. Gu Tiangang and the ancient saint of the ancient desolation cave heaven both fell at the hands of this nation's lord, whose strength should not be underestimated!"
"To slay two great saints, it must be of saint-level, but a mere saint is not enough to be arrogant before us. If the nation's lord does not appear in this battle, then fine. But if he shows up, he will be killed on the spot!"
The speaker was an elderly man in luxurious clothing, his status as a chief sect elder, similar to Yin Hong.
After speaking, another chief sect elder continued, "It is said that the nation's lord has extremely cunning methods, having created something called the 'Heavenly Court Chat Group,' allowing cultivators to exchange for potent elixirs and secret techniques. The rapid growth of the Qingyang Immortal Nation is largely due to this 'Heavenly Court Chat Group.'"
"Hmph, what 'Heavenly Court Chat Group'? It must be an ancient relic that the nation's lord accidentally obtained, containing abundant elixirs and secret techniques. The exchange methods are not sophisticated, merely using a medium for transmission. Elder Zhang, as a sect elder, you should be familiar with the mysteries of the Primordial Mirror, which is likely similar to this 'Heavenly Court Chat Group.'"
Yin Hong sneered.
The Primordial Mirror he mentioned was a supreme treasure crafted by the top powerhouses of the Primordial Cave Heaven in the past. Though it was of quasi-emperor level, it had no offensive power. Its sole function was to allow disciples to exchange resources and accept cave heaven missions.
All disciples of the Primordial Cave Heaven could enter the Primordial Mirror by the method of blood recognition, using contribution points to exchange for cave heaven resources.
Therefore, in Yin Hong's view, the methods of the 'Heavenly Court Chat Group' were not sophisticated.
Most likely, it was a treasure similar to the Primordial Mirror, perhaps even inferior to it.
After all, quasi-emperor-level treasures were not easily obtained.
Considering the background of the Qingyang Immortal Nation's rise from the Era of Decline, Yin Hong easily thought of—the ancient period of the Qingyang Realm must have been extraordinary, and the nation's lord might have stumbled upon an ancient relic, obtaining countless opportunities, hence his current power.
"Once we drive the Qingyang Immortal Nation out of the ancient desolation, we can then delve into the Qingyang Realm. All the ancient relics there will become the treasure of the Primordial Cave Heaven. If there is a treasure similar to the Primordial Mirror, it might indicate that there were also emperors in ancient times. If we can obtain an emperor's inheritance, it will undoubtedly elevate the strength of the Primordial Cave Heaven!"
Yin Hong said in a deep voice.
The elders, upon hearing this, had burning eyes.
The inheritance of an emperor! Even for an emperor-level force like the Primordial Cave Heaven, it was highly coveted.
Any inheritance of an emperor was enough to create a new emperor-level force. Even in the current emperor-level forces, emperors were rarely born in history.
Therefore, each additional inheritance meant a further enhancement of the cave heaven's strength.
If an emperor's weapon could be found, it would be even more significant.
Even the Primordial Cave Heaven, with its profound foundation, had only one emperor's weapon.
In ancient times, the Primordial Cave Heaven once had two emperor's weapons, but a great catastrophe destroyed one, leaving the sacred domain with only one emperor's weapon for protection.
Because of this, the Primordial Cave Heaven had gradually declined in recent years, no longer as glorious as in ancient times.
Thinking of this, Yin Hong also recalled Zhang Ming.
The Combat Body, a top sacred body that had once nurtured emperors.
It was initially thought to be the opportunity for the rise of the Primordial Cave Heaven, but who knew it turned out to be a traitor from another tribe. Whenever Yin Hong thought of this, he felt indignant and regretful.
"Unfortunately, Zhang Ming was born in the Qingyang Realm. Otherwise, with the Combat Body, the Primordial Cave Heaven would have hoped to contend for the emperor's position in this era. If a new emperor were born, the Primordial Cave Heaven could have restored its ancient glory!"
Yin Hong sighed, and the elders of the Eastern Peak heard this with regret.
Indeed, if the Combat Body had not betrayed the Primordial Cave Heaven, he would have been the hope for proving the Dao as an emperor.
Even if he did not become an emperor, he could have led the Primordial Cave Heaven, becoming the next cave lord, elevating the status of the Eastern Peak.
After all, the current main sect lineage originally was just a branch of the cave heaven, elevated due to having a powerhouse sitting as the cave lord.
And the two main sect elders heard this with a subtle hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
The Eastern Peak wanted to rise through the Combat Body, almost shaking the main sect's position. Now that his traitor identity was revealed and he betrayed the Primordial Cave Heaven, the Eastern Peak lost its reliance, the threat to the main sect diminished, and they were naturally secretly pleased.
