Master of the Demon Emperor

The night gradually fell.

The group waited on the cliff, and Su Yie quickly learned the Qi Concealment Technique. It must be said, Li Huahun's teaching ability was very strong, without any superfluous words, making it easy for Su Yie to understand.

Su Yie began to repeatedly practice the Qi Concealment Technique.

Li Huahun then walked aside, gazing at the bright moon, silently lost in thought.

Han Yuandao and Fang Tian Divine Fist were meditating on the other side, cultivating day after day with persistence, that eventually would penetrate the stone.

Only Ren Wokuang couldn't settle down.

He kept shouting within the Emperor Su's Sect.

Ren Wokuang, "Piercing Arm Monkey! Damn it, why haven't you shown up yet?"

Tang Qingtian, "In the middle of the night, why the fuss!"

Heavenly Demon of the Great Dao, "Do you all come from the Eastern Lands?"

Black Tiger Emperor, "You say that as if you're not the same."

Xiahou Jinxuan, "I've been captured by my elders and taken back to the Xia Hou Clan. Who can save me out? I can give anything you want!"

Corpse Ghost King Xue Li, "I'm being besieged by the Seven Dynasties. Demon Lord Qing Yan, He Youming, can you spare me?"

...

Even late at night, the Emperor Su's Sect couldn't quiet down.

The mental communication method of the Emperor Su's Sect allowed the members to grow closer, especially those who were weaker, who usually didn't have access to the stronger ones, but now they could chat together, which was quite exciting for them.

Figures like the Empress of Great Zhou, Gong Sunqi, and Venerable Xuanyuan, who were also difficult to meet under normal circumstances, now were able to communicate through this method, which was quite convenient for them, saving a lot of trouble.

Until the later part of the night.

Suddenly, a noise came from the forest of Starving Wolf Cliff that startled everyone, causing them to open their eyes and look.

A figure emerged from the forest, walking towards the edge of the cliff.

It was a humanoid Monkey Demon dressed in leopard skin, covered in monkey fur, with a sharp, monkey-like face, slightly emaciated, carrying an iron stick, and with a piece of weed hanging from its mouth.

"Who is Ren Wokuang? Get out here!"

The Piercing Arm Monkey called out impatiently, making everyone look at each other oddly with his first words.

Ren Wokuang was embarrassed, he didn't dare to respond, and instinctively moved closer to Li Huahun.

Piercing Arm Monkey dared to intrude into the Sword Sect; he had also seen the Piercing Arm Monkey's strength in Xiwan City last time, and naturally, he did not dare to fight with the Piercing Arm Monkey.

Su Yie stepped forward and said, "I am Su Yie. After we obliterate the Divine Physique Hall, I won't go back on what was promised before."

Hearing this, the Piercing Arm Monkey sized up Su Yie.

The Piercing Arm Monkey resembled Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, though his gaze lacked a bit of cunning compared to Sun Wukong's. His expression was filled with arrogance, as if he was invincible under the heavens.

"I trust you, just because of the sect master."

The Piercing Arm Monkey nodded, then looked at the others.

Han Yuandao and Fang Tian Divine Fist were curious about who exactly was the sect master of the Emperor Su's Sect?

To tame such a Great Demon!

The Demon Qi of the Piercing Arm Monkey was impressive. Even though he restrained it, it still made their hearts skip a beat.

He was definitely an existence that surpassed the Innate Dao Fruit Realm!

"Since everyone is here, let's move forward and try to eliminate Divine Physique Hall as soon as possible!"

Su Yie turned, addressing the group.

None objected, as defeating the Divine Physique Hall sooner would also provide them with peace of mind.

And so, Ren Wokuang once again brought out the Giant Gourd, and escorting the group, they flew towards the distance.

"This feels like Journey to the West."

Su Yie remarked, noting the presence of the monkey and Xiao Bailong, only that the distance they had to travel was far greater than the Journey to the West.

"What is 'Journey to the West'?" Ren Wokuang curiously asked.

"A long time ago, during the Tang Dynasty, a holy monk rode a White Dragon Horse with his three disciples to the Western Heaven to obtain sacred texts; their story is known as 'Journey to the West'."

Su Yie gave a simple explanation, knowing that explaining more would still leave them clueless.

Ren Wokuang, suddenly understanding, asked, "Hehe, who do you think I resemble from the story?"

"You? You are like the second elder brother in the story, Wu Neng, who is Marshal Tianpeng, formerly commanding a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals!" Su Yie spoke earnestly, causing Ren Wokuang to become thrilled and immediately start showing off.

"Wu Neng! Marshal Tianpeng! What great names!"

Ren Wokuang said proudly, while others also showed interest in 'Journey to the West' as described by Su Yie.

Heavenly soldiers and generals!

Do they really exist?

The nights weren't lonely with Su Yie telling stories.

...

In the Central Region of the Eastern Lands, the Human Clan dominated; here, many dynasties, empires, and even holy dynasties stood tall, with countless heroes fighting for luck, just as cruelly as the battles among the Demon Clan.

Great Qin, Great Xia, and the Great Zhou were all holy dynasties, surrounded by numerous empires and dynasties in a web-like structure.

Although there was competition within the Human Clan, they would unite against the Demon Clan.

On the edge of the Central Region of the Eastern Lands, there lay a war-torn land close to the Great Zhou, full of dynasties where monsters and demons roamed, causing the common people to live miserable lives.

This war-torn land also had another name, known as the Land of the Imperial Lineage.

Legend had it that an Emperor's body rose from this place and helped a powerful being establish the Divine Physique Hall. Thousands of years passed, and the Divine Physique Hall dominated the Land of the Imperial Lineage, its influence extending across the entire Eastern Lands, even the Great Zhou couldn't conquer it.

In the Land of the Imperial Lineage, only the Divine Physique Hall was obeyed, which didn't set complex rules. There was just one simple rule: survival of the fittest.

If a powerful body emerged, it would catch the attention of the Divine Physique Hall and soar to great heights.

Even those with extraordinary spirit roots were overlooked by the Divine Physique Hall, which only valued physical strength.

The Land of the Imperial Lineage was vast, one hundred times the size of the Bailing Territory, yet it was still considered insignificant compared to the rest of the Eastern Lands.

Just how vast were the Eastern Lands? Throughout ancient and modern times, there had been no definitive measurement.

Six days after encountering the Piercing Arm Monkey,

Su Yie and the others finally arrived in the Land of the Imperial Lineage.

"The Land of the Imperial Lineage is vast, it's the territory of the Divine Physique Hall. To find the location of the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Physique Hall, we need to inquire around,"

Fang Tian Divine Fist said as he stared ahead, where the horizon glowed red like blazing flames.

"Ask what? Just cause a big stir, and they'll show up!"

The Piercing Arm Monkey snorted coldly, completely dismissive of the Divine Physique Hall,

He too had his own territory, though it was very far from the Land of the Imperial Lineage.

The reason he needed so many magic artifacts was to ensure his monkeys had a means to defend themselves, as whenever he got drunk, monsters frequently attacked his mountain, which irritated him, though he couldn't bear to give up the fine liquor.

"No, the Divine Physique Hall has many strong individuals, our target is the Nameless Imperial Ancestor. If the Nameless Imperial Ancestor keeps hiding and uses his subordinates to deplete our combat power, are you sure you can defeat him? The Nameless Imperial Ancestor is the fifteenth ranked being in the Worldly Renowned Register!"

Fang Tian Divine Fist shook his head, a look of deep wariness in his eyes when he mentioned the Nameless Imperial Ancestor.

The reputation of the Nameless Imperial Ancestor was indeed formidable!

The Piercing Arm Monkey grinned reluctantly and didn't keep boasting, after all, he couldn't even destroy the Sword Sect, let alone the Divine Physique Hall, which was no weaker than the Sword Sect.

"Who is stronger between the Nameless Imperial Ancestor and Venerable Xuanyuan?"

Su Yie asked coldly, the expressions of Ren Wokuang, the Piercing Arm Monkey, and Li Huahun all subtly changed at his words.

Especially Li Huahun, who had declared he would teach Venerable Xuanyuan a lesson.

"Venerable Xuanyuan... not sure, Venerable Xuanyuan rose to prominence thousands of years ago, aiming to become the Emperor. He is famous, yet he has never battled the Nameless Imperial Ancestor."

Fang Tian Divine Fist hesitated to say; such beings were beyond his ability to conjecture.
