Chapter 568: Immortal Court's 'Love'

Wu Yuan knew about the existence of the Shadow Son, and he caused such a big movement and killed thousands of monarchs, it was impossible for the masters of the Wuting Dragon Mountain Holy Land not to know about it.

"Let's get out of here first, you don't have to stay in this Ten Thousand Winds Maze Domain for long, it's time to prepare to leave the Longshan Universe." Wu Yuan shook his head slightly, glancing at the depths of the Ten Thousand Wind Sea, where the grand Dao fluctuations were still continuing.

The powerful people of the Holy Land on all sides thought that there was an innate spirit treasure that would be born.

Only Wu Yuan understood that this was just a ghost done by Bai Sui and Hong Qin.

Call!

Wu Yuan continued to explore the treasures he had harvested, then got up and flew towards the outside of the Ten Thousand Winds Domain.

At the same time, he separated a wisp of thought and directly entered the Witch Court Realm, and as soon as he entered, he received a large amount of news, basically from many masters.

"A lot of news from Juggernaut." Wu Yuan was secretly shocked, and found it after a little sweeping.

It's basically 'Congratulations!' "Wu Yuan dominates, I am ......", "Wu Yuan dominates, go back to the ancestral witch hall to see you" "Wu Yuan dominates ......" as many as dozens of masters.

Basically, they are the masters of the Wuting Longshan Holy Land and the Wuting Lingjiang Holy Land.

Previously, although Wu Yuan had the name of the Holy Title Tianjiao and a peerless genius, there were not many witch court masters who were really willing to take the initiative to visit and communicate.

What is so enthusiastic as it is now.

"Do you call me the master?" Wu Yuan said secretly: "It seems that the news of this battle is spreading rapidly, the ancients did not deceive me, when they were weak, they were all sinister; When you are strong, you are surrounded by goodness. ”

Wu Yuan saw this more and more clearly, and his own strength was fundamental.

The triple strength of the Juggernaut is enough to win the respect of all the Juggernauts.

"However, the news of this battle should not have reached the headquarters of the Witch Court yet." Wu Yuan thought secretly as he quickly replied to the news to these masters.

Each master theoretically has the hope of transcending eternity.

If it was not necessary, Wu Yuan would naturally not offend.

Rapid.

"Whew!" Wu Yuan had already followed the guidance of the 'realm spirit' of the Witch Court Realm and arrived at the Supreme Holy Land of the Dragon Mountain Plane, the Juggernaut Temple.

In a flash, the scene around Wu Yuan's incarnation changed, and he had already entered the inside of the temple.

"Wu Yuan dominates."

"Here we are." One voice after another sounded directly, and Wu Yuan had already seen the four figures in the temple, all of whom had seen the master before.

"Hindsight dominates."

"Ming Zhun dominates, Phantom Jin dominates, and Ziwu dominates." Wu Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Haha, what else do you call us, just call us by name." The burly and domineering man Ziwu Juggernaut smiled and said, "In terms of strength, now I am clearly close to you." ”

"Yes, by name." Myeongjoon Juggernaut also smiled.

Wu Yuan glanced at the Ziwu Juggernaut with a smile, the last time they met, the other party was quite polite.

Nowadays, it's like a very good friend.

"Wu Yuan, I was wrong last time, and I apologize." The Purple Martial Master was extremely simple, and then sighed with emotion: "We have learned the news of your battle, you have killed more than four thousand Monarch Law Body Source Bodies?" ”

"Hmm." Wu Yuan nodded.

"Killed the source bodies of the Lord of Wandu and the Lord of the Nightmare in a row?" The Purple Martial Lord continued to ask.

"Yes." Wu Yuan said.

Ming Zhun is the master, and the Hou Jue is the master, and the eyes they look at Wu Yuan are even more unusual.

Even though they knew it, when Wu Yuan talked about it again, they still felt a little shocked.

Many dominating the strong, when they become dominant, will be quite dazzling, but they usually slaughter dozens of monarchs, and it is very rare to be able to slaughter hundreds of monarchs.

Like Wu Yuan? The slaughter of thousands of monarchs at one time is not unique, but also one in a hundred.

"Awesome!"

The Ziwu Juggernaut was stunned and said, "To be honest, when you were still in Xingjun, there were many innate spirit treasures, and I was a little unconvinced, but now I am convinced." ”

"I guess even if you don't have any foreign objects, you still have the power to dominate the battle." Ziwu dominates the Dao.

Wu Yuan nodded lightly.

Indeed, without relying on any innate spirit treasure, his own refining body deity also has the strength to dominate.

As for the Taoist device? It's just the icing on the cake for the Juggernaut, and it doesn't have that much impact on strength.

"In just 100,000 years, there has been such an achievement, and since the reincarnation of heaven and earth, you should be the first." The Ziwu Juggernaut sighed.

Wu Yuan smiled dumbly.

Before, the Ziwu Juggernaut looked down on him, but now he seems to have become a 'Wu Blow'.

"Wu Yuan, the Immortal Court Longshan Holy Land has issued an order to retreat, I think it is to give up this Holy Land War." Ming Zhun dominates the road.

"Retreated?" Wu Yuan nodded, as he expected.

In the previous 20,000 years of fighting, although the Xianting side had a slight advantage, the advantage was not outrageous, and the losses in this battle were too great, which made the strength of the two sides unbalanced, and the Xianting was naturally unwilling to fight again.

If you continue to fight, the gains outweigh the losses.

This can be regarded as achieving Wu Yuan's goal.

"Wu Yuan, in this Holy Land War, you have made great contributions to my Wuting Longshan Holy Land, about the news of this battle, I have given it to Wan Xuan Ancestral Witch, and the Ancestral Witch ordered that an additional inferior innate spirit treasure will be given to you, and you can exchange it in the Ancestral Witch Hall when you turn around." Ming Zhun dominates the road.

Innate Spirit Treasure?

Wan Xuan Ancestral Witch? Wu Yuan was secretly shocked, he didn't expect the other party to be so generous.

He now basically knew that like the Holy Land branch of the Witch Court in the Thirty-Four Directions Universe, the ancestral witches behind it were all true saint existences.

"Thank you, Ancestor Witch." Wu Yuan said solemnly.

"Still."

"Wan Xuan Ancestor Wu also said, the impact of this battle is too great, although you don't take the initiative to slaughter, but if you kill too much, I'm afraid the Immortal Court will not give up, you have to be careful." Ming Zhun Juggernaut said: "The Phantom Jin Juggernaut is about to arrive in the Myriad Wind Maze Domain, you better join forces and come back together." ”

"Phantom Juggernaut?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised.

"Well, I still have about half a year, so I should be able to arrive." The Phantom Jin Juggernaut said: "If I take you away, you should be able to leave the Creation Dao Realm faster, and it is estimated that you will be able to leave in about eighty years." ”

"Eighty years or so?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned.

I have the information given by Bai Sui, and if I go through those secret space passages, I can leave in twenty years.

But.

Wu Yuan didn't refute, but said with a smile: "Then it's troublesome for the Phantom Jin Master." ”

Wu Yuan thought about it, but decided not to use the secret space channel, otherwise, once someone knew about it, after a little calculation, he would perceive the special relationship between himself and the Creation Dao Realm.

Before he had absolute strength, Wu Yuan didn't want people to deduce that he was already a 'Daoist candidate'.

Especially the fairy court.

Lord of the Avenue! Each of them is a four-step eternal, the ultimate in the path of derivation, and each of them can be called the supreme existence that can determine the fate of the Endless Universe.

Once the Immortal Court knows, I am afraid that it will do everything to kill it, even if the legendary Heavenly Emperor makes a move, Wu Yuan will not be surprised.

……

I have been communicating with Ming Zhun and Ziwu for a long time, and in fact, they have been asking enthusiastically and trying to deepen their feelings.

Subsequently, Wu Yuancai and Houjue left alone.

In the hall, only the three masters of the Wuting Dragon Mountain Holy Land remained.

"Wan Xuan Ancestor Witch actually gave him a congenital spirit treasure alone." The Phantom Jin Juggernaut sighed with emotion: "According to the normal witchcraft reward, it will not be like this. ”

"If we were to do the same." Master Ming Zhun shook his head and said, "Lord Wu Yuan is really too demonic, and he has cultivated for 100,000 years to have such a realm. ”

"It's incredible."

"It's just a gift of an innate spirit treasure, and a low-grade innate spirit treasure is very valuable to us, but for the ancestors, what is it?" Ming Zhun dominates the road.

Both the Phantom Jin Juggernaut and the Ziwu Juggernaut couldn't help but nod.

"I'm a little curious."

The Ziwu Master suddenly said: "Brother Wu Yuan's cultivation speed is fast, there are always some peerless demons that cannot be understood, such as the former Immortal Court Heavenly Emperor, such as Brother Wu Yuan. ”

"It's just that no matter how strong the strength is, it is impossible to violate the laws of Yuhe's operation, Brother Wu Yuan is a living creature of the Lingjiang universe, he has become a monarch, how can he not be suppressed in the slightest in the Dao Realm?"

"It's kind of weird." The Phantom Jin Juggernaut also said.

"The Dao Realm is different from the starry sky of the universe, it is the place where the Dao Lord opened up, and some places are very weird." Ming Zhun dominated: "Wu Yuan dominates the deity and enters the Dao realm, and it will be 20,000 years as soon as he disappears, and it is estimated that he has gained some great opportunity." ”

"But it's his secret, so we don't have to dig into it."

Several people couldn't help but nod.

"You say, Wu Yuan is qualified to enter the Eternal Book in this battle?" The Phantom Jin Juggernaut said suddenly.

"Eternity?"

"The legendary Book of Eternity?" The faces of both the Ming Zhun Juggernaut and the Ziwu Juggernaut changed slightly, obviously they had both heard of the legend of the Eternal Book.

"It's hard to say."

"Leave a name in the eternal book, that is the desire of many heaven and earth reincarnation, countless masters."

"Wu Yuan is not qualified to be included in this battle, after all, he doesn't even have the strength to dominate the quadruple."

"It's just that, considering that Wu Yuan has only cultivated for 100,000 years, there may be some hope." Ming Zhun dominated: "In addition, according to the strength he showed in this battle, there should be a great hope of landing on the reincarnation list." ”

"Reincarnation list?"

"There are only two hundred places in the reincarnation list?" Both the Phantom Jin Juggernaut and the Purple Martial Juggernaut had a hint of envy flashing in their eyes.

The three of them are not eligible to be on the reincarnation list.

……

Wu Yuan and Hou Jue dominated, walked in the Witch Court Realm, and quickly returned to the Lingjiang Plane 'Wanjiang Realm'.

"Juggernaut."

"Monarch Wu Yuan." The Star Monarch-level gods and generals guarding on both sides of the temple all saluted respectfully.

Apparently.

The news of the battle of the Creation Dao Realm has not yet spread in the Wuting Lingjiang Holy Land.

Wu Yuan and Hou Jue Juggernaut walked into the temple.

"Wu Yuan." Later, the master looked at Wu Yuan with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect that you would be better than me in a blink of an eye." ”

"I want to think about the past."

"When I went to the Qingling Great Realm and picked you up to participate in the Yuyu Heavenly Road, you were still very immature." The Lord shook his head.

Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile: "No matter how strong I am, I feel that you are all seniors in my eyes." ”

"Besides, just in terms of the realm of the Dao, I am now on par with you." Wu Yuan said: "It can even be said that it is inferior. ”

"I only rely on treasures to have the triple strength to dominate."

It's the truth.

Wu Yuan comprehended the Great Dao of Creation and Transformation, and only then did he reach the eightfold Dao Domain, which was even lower than the Later Jue Master, but Wu Yuan created his own unique learning, which could be compared.

"Treasure, but also strength." The Lord shook his head and said, "Why can you get the treasure but I can't?" Naturally, you have something to surpass me. ”

Wu Yuan was dumbfounded.

"In this battle, you have a big victory, and your deity should go directly back to the Lingjiang Universe." The Lord of Hindsight asked.

"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded.

The cultivation of the Dao Realm has gained a large enough, and now the time needed to accumulate is to prepare for the upcoming Xuanhuang Yu Realm.

If you don't have toss, don't bother too much.

"I have been honored with the ancestor of Luanjiang." Later, the master said: "The ancestor has said that when you return in real life, he will receive you." ”

"Visiting the Ancestral Witch?" Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

Luanjiang Ancestral Witch, the nominal boss of his own body refining deity, has not yet seen it.

"At the same time, there will be a grand celebration of domination for you." Hou Jue dominated: "However, it is not the ancestral witch alone who has the final say to enter the ancestral witch hall, and it still needs the consent of the witch court headquarters, and it will take a while to get permission." ”

"Ancestral Witch Palace?" Wu Yuan muttered to himself.

"It is the highest holy place of my Witch Court, the Ancestral Witch Hall in reality is in the Witch Court universe, and it is the residence of the Houtu Ancestral Witch and the Dijiang Ancestral Witch, and it is not allowed to enter the Ancestral Witch." Later, the eyes of the master were full of reverence: "However, in the realm of the Divine Void, the Ancestral Witch Hall refers to the highest meeting of the Witch Court, and it is divided into the Ancestral Witch Conference, the Eternal Conference, and the Juggernaut Conference. ”

"Three-level meetings."

"Normally, you need to have a tenth-rank rank within the territory of the Witch Court to be eligible to be ranked among the Juggernaut Council." The latter juggernaut laughed.

Wu Yuan suddenly understood that this so-called Ancestral Witch Hall was actually the highest level of power in the entire Witch Court, even if it was the masters, it was only the bottom of this highest level of power.

But at least, I got into the circle myself.

"Once you pass the review of the Witch Court Headquarters, your authority in the territory of the Witch Court will truly become a tenth-order rank, and at that time, such as the Ancestral Witch Palace, the Dominant-level Intelligence Database, etc., all kinds of permissions subordinate to the Wizard will be completely opened to you." The Lord of Houjue smiled, "Be patient." ”

"Okay." Wu Yuan was looking forward to it.

His authority in the Witch Court Realm is comparable to the Domination in some aspects, but it is not the real Domination authority after all.

……

When Wu Yuan happily counted the harvest and communicated with several witch court masters through the Witch Court Realm.

Then.

The news of this battle in the Creation Dao Realm has also been transmitted to the distant Immortal Court Universe.

This is the eternal territory of the 'Immortal Court', the strongest force in the Endless Universe, and it is also the supreme headquarters.

The major matters that cannot be solved by the subordinate side of the Holy Land branch will all converge here.

An ancient sea of stars, a mighty sea water, diffused for hundreds of light years, rippling waves, and countless dazzling stars flashing on the surface.

Now.

On the ancient sea of stars, more than ten majestic and endless phantoms have been condensed, and each phantom is incredibly large, at least trillions of miles high.

Each of them was entrenched in a starry sky, and they stood there as if the Great Dao was incarnated, eternal and immortal.

More than ten majestic figures.

Suddenly, the sea of stars that had been scattered for hundreds of light years suddenly shook, countless starlights flickered, and this ancient sea of stars seemed to be boiling, which immediately attracted the attention of the three majestic figures in the starry sky.

Silently.

"Wow~" I don't know when, the starlight of the ancient sea of stars has gathered, and a majestic and endless figure has been condensed, and he is about a light year high.

On his body, he was draped in hazy starlight, which seemed to be real and illusory.

It seems to be real, but it seems to be illusory.

It seems to be standing on the sea of stars, and it seems to be outside the endless starry sky.

Only the vast aura that emanates from it, the majestic incredible, the great power seems to transcend heaven and earth, beyond this universe.

It's like a small pond can't hold an elephant.

In front of this starry figure, the previous three majestic phantoms all seemed a little small at the moment.

"Immortal Venerable!"

"Immortal Venerable!" The thirteen majestic phantoms all bowed slightly to show respect.

And this scene was seen by the many masters of the Immortal Court, which would definitely cause an uproar.

The masters of the Immortal Court, in their communication with each other, although it is generally customary to refer to the eternal existence as the Immortal Emperor.

But in fact, the supreme leaders of the Holy Lands of all parties were all True Saints, and usually only the three-step Eternal 'True Saint Realm' was qualified to be called an Immortal Emperor.

Because, although one step of eternity and two steps of eternity are stronger than those of the masters, they are not so strong as to go against heaven and earth.

Only by deducing one's own path to an extremely high level can one absolutely override the fivefold master.

At this point, the witch court is similar, those who are qualified to be called ancestral witches are usually three-step eternal.

And the Immortal Venerable, even above the Immortal Emperor, represents the highest level in the absolute sense of the Immortal Court.

The Strongest Existence of the Infinite Universe - Four Steps of Eternity!

"I've brought you here, but it's not a big deal." The towering figure of the stars for a light year, his eyes were dim and difficult to see, as if he contained a vast universe, and his gaze swept over the majestic figures in front of him: "Xiaoyao, Jiufang, who of the two of you will elaborate?" ”

"Qi Qi Immortal Venerable."

One of the blue-robed figures said respectfully: "Then Wu Yuan is a creature of my Lingjiang Universe, so let me say it." ”

The towering star figure nodded faintly in agreement.

"Ladies and gentlemen." The illusory shadow of the Immortal Emperor in the green robe, his gaze swept over the eternal existence that was no less than him: "Not long ago, in Yuhe's 'Dragon Mountain Universe', a Holy Land War broke out, and the Creation Dao Realm was ...... That Wu Yuan is a little guy who has only risen in the last 100,000 years, and in this battle, he killed more than 4,000 monarchs, two of whom dominated the Law Body Source Body. ”

"According to the report of the master under the command of the Nine Directions Immortal Emperor, this Wu Yuan should already be the real master, and he has the triple strength of the master."

There was silence.

In the sky above the ancient starry sea, all the eternal beings showed a look of astonishment.

"Cultivating for 100,000 years?"

"Long River Life, so soon to become a real master? Really? Why did his Dao Sense improve so quickly? ”

"Is there a big secret?"

"This battle broke out in the Creation Dao Realm? He is a life in the Lingjiang Universe, why is he not suppressed in the Longshan Universe? Could it be that he had discovered some secret of the Creation Dao Realm? ”

"Yes, he seems to have disappeared for 20,000 years."

"It turned out to be a Holy Named Tianjiao, it seems to be extremely high, most likely it is a second-class Holy Named Tianjiao, and it may even be a first-class Holy Named Tianjiao." One Eternal Being spoke, raising doubts and conjectures.

These Immortal Emperors, except for the Immortal Emperor of the Freedom and the Immortal Emperor of the Nine Directions, each commanded a cosmic holy land, most of them were crisscrossing the Domain Sea, and most of them did not pay attention to the Thirty-six Universe Rivalries of Yuhe.

For them, the universe? It was only a cradle of living beings, and unless they were going to leave a legacy, they didn't deserve much attention at all.

Even.

Before the Immortal Emperor opened his mouth, most of these Immortal Emperors didn't know who 'Wu Yuan' was, let alone what Wu Yuan's deeds had before.

Holy name Tianjiao? For the Eternal Immortal Emperors, it was just a joke.

It's just that.

The Immortal Emperors had extremely high authority, and in an instant, they had already obtained all the recorded information about Wu Yuan from the Immortal Court Intelligence Database, and they were a little surprised.

100,000 years? Become a true juggernaut?

It's terrifying.

"Immortal Emperors." The majestic star phantom spoke faintly, and the voice echoed for hundreds of light-years: "Now do you understand why I summoned you?" ”

"Falling a little bit of the monarch's Dharma body, it's a trivial matter."

"Even if the entire Longshan Holy Land is destroyed, it will not affect the foundation of my Immortal Court, at most one more reincarnation, it will naturally be able to open up the Holy Land again."

"Besides, the foundation of my Immortal Court is in the Domain Sea."

"Yuhe's thirty-six universes are essentially just a cultivation base for eternal life." The phantom of the towering stars has an ethereal voice.

There was silence.

The thirteen Immortal Emperors all listened respectfully, and they all agreed with the Immortal Venerable's words.

The struggle, fighting, and fall of the long river of life could not move them at all.

The fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn.

In the eyes of these eternal immortal emperors, even if they are the dominant triple powerhouses, they are just fleeting cicadas, and they are larger at most.

"A universe, an entire reincarnation of heaven and earth, may not be able to give birth to an eternal life."

"And the Endless Domain Sea will continue to give birth to a huge number of innate eternal lifeforms, which in absolute terms are more than a million times the eternal life of the universe." The phantom of the towering stars has an ethereal voice.

"But!"

"Why are my Immortal Court and Witch Court trying their best to fight for control of Yuhe? Trying to infiltrate that side of the universe? Trying to rule more territory. The majestic starry phantom gaze swept over the immortal emperors: "Because, the long river of life, the potential is too great, and some incredible demons will always be born." ”

"I, the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Court, about one-third are cosmic beings."

"My Immortal Court Immortal Venerable, most of them are cosmic lifeforms."

"The Supreme Emperor of Heaven is also the life of the long river." The majestic star phantom said: "Now, in the Yuhe, there is finally a peerless demon who is expected to take four steps. ”

"What?"

"Hopefully four steps?"

"He? Wu Yuan?" The more than ten Immortal Emperors present suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

Four steps to eternity?

That's right, after they checked Wu Yuan's intelligence, they all felt that Wu Yuan's potential was amazing, but to say that the future will achieve four steps of eternity? They all instinctively don't believe it.

"The length of cultivation time for a while never represents the final achievement, but if it is too fast and terrifying, there must be something special."

"In a million years, the Dao Domain has nine senses."

"Since twenty reincarnations of heaven and earth, he is the seventh." The towering star phantom said calmly: "The previous six finally gave birth to four true saints and one supreme dao. ”

"That one is in the Dao realm, and his name is Yantuo."

"Iwato?"

"Emperor Yantuo!" More than ten Immortal Emperors immediately understood what Immortal Venerable meant.

Of the six people, except for one who failed to fall, the other five were at least three-step eternals, and finally a four-step eternal was born.

This probability is already very high.

Such peerless evils must be eradicated.

"Wu Yuan, if he wants to become eternal, he will definitely break through the domain sea, and many great opportunities are for the deity to break through."

"There's going to be a chance."

"Except for Xiaoyao and Jiufang, the eleven of you are all the last nine reincarnations to achieve eternity, and the holy realms opened up are all close to Yuhe, and they are all very close to the Longshan universe." The majestic star phantom said: "Then the immortal realm and the path opening realm under your command will try to kill Wu Yuan, no matter the source identity and clone, you don't have to distinguish it, you will kill it." ”

"If it's a success."

"The merit is so great, if you kill a true saint, can you understand?"

"Yes!" The thirteen Immortal Emperors all bowed slightly, and they all knew Immortal Venerable's determination.

……

Wu Yuan didn't expect that his battle would directly break through the sky and attract the attention of the real highest level of the Immortal Court, but he really didn't know what the meaning of the 'Million-Year Dao Realm Ninefold' represented.

Like before, the strength of Wu Yuan's Qi refining deity exploded, and although the shock caused was great, it was mainly limited to the masters, and the true saints did not pay much attention.

After all, when Wu Yuan's Qi refining deity broke out, he would understand with a little discernment that it was mainly a treasure, and the Dao perception revealed was not particularly high.

Treasure? If you want to break the shackles and achieve eternity by yourself, there is little help from external objects.

But the outbreak of Wu Yuan's refining body deity was completely different.

The master of Wandu, who personally fought with him, believed that Wu Yuan had a ninefold understanding of the Great Dao of Creation.

Naturally, the highest level of the Immortal Court shook, and even the Supreme Immortal Venerable rarely paid attention to it.
