Chapter 596: Western Heaven Realm, The Grand Supreme Lord's Plan
After obtaining the Emperor Weapon Embryo and the possibility of the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear advancing to an Emperor Weapon, even Mo Yu, usually calm and composed, couldn't help but show a smile.
An Emperor Weapon was a true divine weapon, possessing the power to destroy worlds and slaughter countless lives on lower planes. Even in his past life, due to rising too quickly and lacking resources, Mo Yu had never owned an Emperor Weapon.
But now, even with the strength of only a one-star Dou Saint, he already possessed the foundation for an Emperor Weapon. Although the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear had yet to fully transform, Mo Yu was willing to wait ten or so years for that to happen.
By then, wielding an Emperor Weapon, he would be unstoppable, radiating an unmatched aura wherever he went!
After reveling in joy for a while, Mo Yu calmed down, carefully storing the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear in his storage ring. He bowed again to the spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, saying, "Thank you, senior!"
"Hehe, no need to be so polite. The Emperor Weapon Embryo is indeed precious, but you destroyed the demonic shadow, not only saving me but also avenging my former master. Consider this Emperor Weapon Embryo as a token of my gratitude before I leave the Dou Qi Continent," the spirit said with a light smile, waving his hand.
"Oh? Senior, are you planning to leave the Dou Qi Continent?" Mo Yu asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
The ability to shatter the void and leave the continent was something only Dou Emperor-level experts could do. Ever since the last Dou Emperor disappeared, no one had left the continent for the Great Thousand World in thousands of years.
Now, hearing that the spirit of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall could leave the Dou Qi Continent, Mo Yu wondered if the hall had the ability to shatter the void.
Seeing Mo Yu's confused expression, the spirit explained slowly, "Although I haven't fully regained my strength, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall itself has the ability to travel between spaces. When my master was alive, I served as a kind of space vessel, traveling between different continents. So leaving the Dou Qi Continent isn't much of an issue."
Mo Yu was momentarily stunned but then nodded in understanding. However, there was a trace of disappointment in his silver eyes.
If the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall remained on the Dou Qi Continent, Mo Yu thought he might have a chance to become its master, especially since he suspected it was an Emperor Weapon of the highest quality.
But it was unfortunate that the hall was leaving.
Shaking off his disappointment, Mo Yu quickly adjusted his mood. After all, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall had already given him plenty of benefits.
"In that case, I wish you a smooth journey, senior," Mo Yu said, bowing slightly.
"Hehe, thank you for your kind words, young friend. However, I see limitless potential and outstanding talent in you. One day, you might be able to break through the limits of the Dou Qi Continent and seek even greater heights. When that time comes, you may find me in a place called the Ten Thousand Weapons Continent in the Western Heaven Realm. That's where my master's family, the Yuchang Clan, resides, and it's also my destination this time.
"My master's Yuchang Clan holds a notable position in the Ten Thousand Weapons Continent. Had my master not been so adventurous and prone to wandering, he might not have fallen prey to the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan's ambush and perished.
"I'm returning to the Western Heaven Realm to inform the Yuchang Clan of my master's death. My master was the clan's young lord, but a lot of time has passed, and I don't know what the state of the clan is like now," the spirit sighed.
"The Western Heaven Realm, Ten Thousand Weapons Continent, Yuchang Clan…" Mo Yu muttered, digesting this information.
He wasn't unfamiliar with the Western Heaven Realm. In the future, Mu Chen's girlfriend, Luo Li, would come from the Luo God Clan of the Western Heaven Realm. The Luo God Clan was located in the far west of the Great Thousand World, in the Western Heaven Realm. This realm was filled with many continents and powerful forces. Among them, the four great god clans, including the Luo God Clan, ruled over the realm, with countless factions depending on them and treating them as kings.
Mo Yu hadn't expected that the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall also came from the Western Heaven Realm, specifically from a place called the Ten Thousand Weapons Continent.
At this point, Mo Yu suddenly recalled the original timeline, where Xiao Yan broke through to Dou Emperor and stepped into the Great Thousand World, encountering significant trouble due to his unfamiliarity with the new power system.
Luckily, Xiao Yan met the old clan leader of the Luo God Clan, who helped him convert his Dou Qi into the spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World, allowing him to smoothly integrate into the new realm.
Since Xiao Yan had encountered the old leader of the Luo God Clan, it suggested that the location where those from the Dou Qi Continent entered the Great Thousand World was likely near the Western Heaven Realm. After all, as the leader of an ancient clan, the old clan leader wouldn't have ventured too far from the clan's homeland.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu nodded to the spirit of the hall and said, "If the opportunity arises, I will certainly visit you, senior."
Mo Yu had already decided that even after breaking through to Dou Emperor, he would remain on the Dou Qi Continent until he reached the peak of the Dou Emperor Realm before shattering the void to enter the Great Thousand World.
By then, he would rely on the boundless spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World and his deep foundation to break through to the Earth Sovereign Realm in one fell swoop.
In the vast and powerful Great Thousand World, an Earth Sovereign was truly a ruler, commanding great power and respect, with few daring to provoke him.
Even the leaders of the four great god clans in the Western Heaven Realm were only at the Earth Sovereign level.
With that kind of strength, Mo Yu would be able to explore the Great Thousand World with confidence, and visiting the Ten Thousand Weapons Continent would be quite feasible.
"Hehe, I look forward to hearing good news from you, young friend. Perhaps that day will come sooner than we think," the spirit said.
The spirit had great confidence in Mo Yu's ability to break through to Dou Emperor and shatter the void. After following his master for so long, the spirit had encountered countless geniuses, all of whom were top-tier talents from the major factions of the Great Thousand World.
But in Mo Yu, the spirit saw the shadow of those top-tier geniuses. Perhaps this young man would one day become a famous powerhouse in the Great Thousand World.
As the spirit reflected on Mo Yu's potential, the latter suddenly thought of something and bowed again, saying, "Senior, I have a request. Among the ten people who entered the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall with the token, two of them are my enemies. Could you, perhaps, quietly… take care of them?"
A cold glint flashed in Mo Yu's eyes as he spoke.
The Grand Supreme Lord and the Second Supreme Lord had long been his enemies. Since both were trapped in the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, this was a golden opportunity to get rid of them. Letting them go would be a missed opportunity.
Moreover, one was a two-star Dou Saint, and the other was a high-level Half-Saint. Losing these key figures would certainly deal a significant blow to the Soul Hall.
But upon hearing Mo Yu's request, the spirit slowly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's something I cannot do."
Mo Yu frowned slightly. After all, the spirit had absorbed the Dou Qi of the Grand Supreme Lord and the others, so killing them should have been easy.
"It's not that I don't want to help you," the spirit explained, "but after expelling the demonic energy, I used all my strength and lost control of the Xuanwu Spirit Rock Columns. As a result, the ten of them have already awakened and left the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, returning to the outside world."
"I see…" Mo Yu nodded in realization, though a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.
It would have been quite satisfying to quietly kill the Grand Supreme Lord and the Second Supreme Lord in this hall.
Even though that plan didn't work out, Mo Yu quickly put it behind him. With his current strength and rapid growth, killing the two of them wouldn't take much longer.
"I can sense some powerful presences outside, watching and waiting, likely targeting you. Would you like my help when you leave?" the spirit's voice echoed in Mo Yu's ears, making him furrow his brows.
If the spirit was correct, the malicious individuals likely included the Grand Supreme Lord and his companions.
After thinking it over, Mo Yu shook his head and said, "No need to trouble you, senior. I'll handle it myself. Just send me out."
...
Half an hour earlier, in the Thunder Abyss Mountain Range.
On top of an ancient temple, a golden ring of light continued to rotate slowly, emitting waves of strange energy that made many people envious.
At this moment, the area surrounding the temple, both the sky and the ground, was filled with a vast sea of people. Every eye was fixed on the golden ring, watching closely for any movement within.
Ever since Lin Langtian, the Grand Supreme Lord, and the other nine people entered the hall, the atmosphere here had grown increasingly tense and eerie.
Everyone knew that the treasure trove inside contained an unimaginable number of weapons. If these weapons were used to form an army, such a force could easily sweep through an entire region of Zhongzhou.
As everyone watched the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall with eager eyes, a golden light suddenly flashed from within the ancient temple, and then, ten powerful figures appeared before the crowd.
These ten were none other than the Grand Supreme Lord and the others who had entered the hall, excluding Mo Yu.
However, their faces were all dark and gloomy, indicating that their time inside the hall had not been pleasant.
"Damn it, what a strange hall! Even you, Grand Supreme Lord, a Dou Saint, fell into its trap!" The Second Supreme Lord, Bone Ghost, glanced warily at the hall, still feeling shaken by what had just happened.
"The hall is indeed strange. If all it did was drain our Dou Qi, we're lucky. Otherwise, we might have lost our lives," the Grand Supreme Lord said grimly.
As a two-star Dou Saint, he rarely encountered such peril, except when facing a few ancient monsters on the continent. Thankfully, this time he only lost some Dou Qi. If he had died here, it would have been an unimaginable loss.
"What a powerful ancient hall. No wonder the clan leader and others have been helpless against it for a thousand years," the Grand Supreme Lord muttered, his gaze flickering as he stared at the hall.
The Second Supreme Lord nodded in agreement. Before, he had thought the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall was overhyped. But after nearly losing their lives, he now fully understood its dangers.
"By the way, Grand Supreme Lord, Mo Yu hasn't come out yet. I've heard that the token he holds is from the Artifact Alliance's legacy, something only a group of weapon refiners possess. We came out empty-handed and nearly lost our lives. If Mo Yu died inside the hall, so be it. But if he made it out alive, he might have kept a lot of treasures for himself," Bone Ghost said coldly.
The Grand Supreme Lord's eyes flickered darkly, and he nodded. "You're right. Either way, as soon as that brat comes out, we'll capture him. We'll also spread the word that he took many treasures from the hall.
"This will not only allow us to join forces with Kunhuang from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan—he certainly won't be happy leaving empty-handed—but it will also cause other factions to turn against Mo Yu.
"The Little Pill Tower faction, being alchemists, has a long-standing grudge with weapon refiners, so they probably won't help Mo Yu either.
"And I know Gu Kong well. Hmph, those old-timers are too upright to fight for some rare bloodline from the Thunder Clan. If we isolate Mo Yu this way, he'll be left without allies and easy to kill. For now, let's focus on recovering our Dou Qi," the Grand Supreme Lord said, closing his eyes to meditate as dark energy swirled around him.
Seeing this, the Second Supreme Lord grinned coldly, nodded, and also sat down, popping a pill into his mouth as he began to restore his Dou Qi.
Meanwhile, atop a distant mountain, Zihuo kept watching the ancient temple, his fierce face showing a trace of worry when he didn't see Mo Yu appear.
But Zihuo forced himself to remain calm. After all, he had complete faith in his boss, Mo Yu.
Occasionally, Zihuo's gaze shifted toward another mountain peak where the Grand Supreme Lord and Second Supreme Lord were located.
At this moment, the two of them were sitting in a meditative state, their eyes half-closed, seemingly indifferent to the whispers around them. However, only those with keen senses could detect the faint dangerous aura emanating from them. It was clear that the Dou Qi drained from them earlier was gradually being restored.
Seeing this, Zihuo frowned, guessing what they were up to. He sat down himself and began to recover his strength, allowing a rich, purplish-gold energy to flow from his body.
Beasts were exceptionally skilled at recovering their energy…
At the same time, Kunhuang from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, along with representatives from the Little Pill Tower and the Gu Clan, observed the Soul Hall's movements. Realizing that Mo Yu had yet to emerge, their eyes flickered with thought, and they chose to remain.
Time slowly passed in this tense and watchful atmosphere. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.
The sun in the sky began to dip, casting a dim red glow over the vast mountain range.
The setting sun painted the landscape blood-red.
Buzz!
As the land below darkened under the evening light, the golden ring that had remained still all this time suddenly began to ripple with energy.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, every gaze in the mountain range shifted sharply toward the ring. Many of the seated experts stood up, their eyes filled with intensity.
The Grand Supreme Lord and the Second Supreme Lord slowly opened their eyes, their gazes cold and ominous.
The energy fluctuations on the golden ring grew more intense until, amid the chaos, a figure finally shot out, landing on the ground.
It was Mo Yu!
