Chapter 923: Support

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Dao Yuefeng lightly waved his right hand, and three beams of light appeared before him, representing the essences of three Emperors.

Compared to the essences of the two Emperors from the Ice Clan, the essence of the Evil Clan’s Lan Lun appeared more vibrant.

“Seal them?” Emperor Sun Zhongqing murmured.

Unlike most ordinary races, the Evil Clan has a notable characteristic: their vitality is extremely strong.

Because the Evil Clan specializes in mental and spiritual cultivation, their physical bodies are not essential.

Even without physical bodies, the Evil Clan can still thrive, and there are even specific cultivation methods among them that initially require abandoning the physical form.

Without the constraints of a physical body, the mental and spiritual faculties of the Evil Clan experience a burst of growth.

At this moment, Lan Lun of the Evil Clan was not yet completely dead. The essence before Dao Yuefeng could potentially allow Lan Lun to be resurrected if conditions were right.

The Evil Clan’s seventh-tier ancestor had not been seen for a thousand years, and the inability of other races to determine whether the ancestor was alive or dead is due to the unique survival method of the Evil Clan.

The other Emperors looked at Dao Yuefeng. Not having completely killed Lan Lun might leave room for maneuvering.

Killing him would mean a complete shift into an adversarial state with the Human Race and Ice Clan.

“There is no room for maneuvering. The Evil Clan sent him as a test, testing our Human Race’s attitude.”

Dao Yuefeng shook his head, gazing into the distance, and said in a low voice, “Retreating a step means retreating at every step. Since the Evil Clan and Ice Clan stepped into Sky Sea City, there has been no other possibility!”

As Dao Yuefeng’s words fell, a force descended upon Lan Lun’s essence, completely erasing its spiritual presence.

Three essences of Emperors were enough to potentially create one or even two additional Emperors for the Human Race, depending on luck.

In such chaotic times, the appearance of any Emperor represents a significant step forward for the Human Race.

Inside Sky Resonance Court, Chen Fei had already disappeared.

When so many Emperors appeared, Chen Fei understood that the situation was settled.

A simple strategy of drawing the forces of the Ice Clan and Evil Clan to Sky Sea City and then trapping them was employed.

However, the cost was also severe, with many ordinary cultivators and those at the Sun Moon Realm losing their lives.

From a higher perspective, the actions of Dao Yuefeng and others were defensible. Even with such a price, exchanging the lives of three alien Emperors was more beneficial than harmful.

After all, the Ice Clan and Evil Clan had long harbored ill intentions and would invade sooner or later. Without proper preparation, the number of deaths would be even higher.

There was even a possibility that the Human Race’s Emperors could be lost.

If that happened, the Human Race’s territory would shrink, and survival would become even more difficult.

But as someone who experienced all this firsthand, Chen Fei felt the cruelty.

It wasn’t the cruelty of Dao Yuefeng and others, but the cruelty of the Ruins Realm.

When one is weak, they become a part of a plan and are sacrificed for greater victory and the survival of more people.

To avoid such a situation, Chen Fei needed to become stronger, strong enough not to be used as a pawn.

Chen Fei did not search for anything within Sky Resonance Court. The core area’s prohibitions remained intact, leaving no opportunity to retrieve anything.

With the strength of someone at the initial stage of the Sun Moon Realm, it was unlikely for Chi Chengyuan to survive the attack.

It wasn’t that those at the initial stage of the Sun Moon Realm were doomed to die, but as the primary target of the attack, those below or at the initial stage of the Sun Moon Realm were the first to be targeted.

The probability of survival was too low. In the courtyard where Chen Fei stayed, everyone else was dead, and only Chen Fei survived, which would inevitably raise suspicions.

Since he was already thinking of leaving Sky Resonance Court, he might as well take the opportunity to do so.

A day later, the order in Sky Sea City was basically restored, but due to the heavy casualties, many places in Sky Sea City were desolate.

Three days later, Sky Sea City began to draw people up from various lower realms, including the Boundless Sea.

A month later, the source of the Boundless Sea realm was locked and successfully separated. The realm’s upper limit was further reduced, and several major sanctuaries began to move most of their disciples to Sky Sea City, leaving only a few behind in the Boundless Sea.

At the same time, the killing of the Ice Clan and Evil Clan Emperors began to have repercussions, and conflicts at the border between the Human Race and the Ice Clan and Evil Clan intensified.

Two months later, a piece of news emerged that ignited the enthusiasm of all Human Race members.

The Lord of Sky Resonance Court, Lu Chaozhong, broke through to the peak of the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm, becoming the eighteenth Emperor of the Human Race. Celebrations erupted across all Human Race cities for three days.

The good news didn’t stop there. Less than half a month after Lu Chaozhong’s breakthrough, another cultivator at the late stage of the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm also reached the peak of the Sixth Stage Emperor Realm, becoming the nineteenth Emperor of the Human Race.

It seemed as if Emperors were beginning to appear in bulk, and everyone was overjoyed.

However, to the discerning, this was merely an accident.

The personal accumulation of these two individuals was one factor, but the source of the Boundless Sea and the essences of the three alien Emperors were another significant driving force.

Especially the latter, whether it was the plane source or the essences of alien Emperors, was something rare and hard to come by. For the Human Race to obtain both simultaneously was a stroke of great fortune.

It was uncertain when such luck would come around again.

Another month passed, and a major piece of news spread among the Human Race: the long-closed Qiankun Mansion, which had been sealed for nearly ten thousand years, was reopening. The Human Race was set to mobilize its entire strength to cultivate Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm experts.

“Qiankun Mansion, I never expected to see it open in my lifetime.”

In a tavern, everyone was discussing the Qiankun Mansion. This wasn’t limited to the tavern; the news was being spread across all Human Race cities and even some alien cities within the alliance.

The Qiankun Mansion opens only in times of crisis for the Human Race.

Unlike other races with Sixth Stage Emperor Realms, the Human Race possesses a special treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron.

This cauldron wasn’t obtained from elsewhere but was forged by a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm ancestor of the Human Race using their own essence, spirit, and soul as fuel, with rules as the fire, and a piece of foreign iron as the aid.

When the Qiankun Cauldron was first forged, its power was just slightly stronger than peak Dao tools.

However, as time went on, each Emperor at the end of their life used their own essence to continue forging the cauldron, which enhanced its power.

Today, even the power of the Human Race’s Sixth Stage Emperor Realm can only barely control the Qiankun Cauldron.

To truly unleash its power, the cooperation of fifteen or more Human Race Emperors, along with several hundred Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm experts, is required.

It is rumored that if the Qiankun Cauldron is fully activated, there might be a slim chance of resisting a seventh-level Open Heaven Realm expert.

Whether it truly has such power is unknown, as the Qiankun Cauldron has never actually been used against a seventh-level Open Heaven Realm expert since its creation.

However, the threat of the Evil Clan looming and the fate of the Evil Clan ancestor were unknown.

If they were indeed alive, their condition was likely poor, which meant that there might still be a chance to resist.

Of course, fully deploying the Qiankun Cauldron would come at a heavy cost to the Human Race, but it would at least provide a fighting chance.

The name Qiankun Mansion comes from this Qiankun Cauldron, and it symbolizes the Human Race’s effort to cultivate Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm experts to prepare for its activation.

Human Race academies typically train only those below the Sun Moon Realm, while those above are not cultivated.

Qiankun Mansion, on the other hand, focuses on cultivating Sun Moon Realm experts and advancing those with true potential to the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm.

No distinction is made; anyone who enters the Mansion will have their past disregarded.

In these special times, special measures are taken, and this is what the Qiankun Mansion represents.

Chen Fei sat in a corner of the tavern, listening to the discussions around him and matching them with the information he had gathered, slowly forming a clearer picture in his mind.

Recently, Chen Fei had been hiding his identity, staying put in Sky Sea City and focusing on his cultivation.

After several months, Chen Fei had successfully advanced from the entry level to the proficient stage of the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique.

The proficiency in cultivation techniques always progresses from easy to difficult, requiring increasing skill as one advances.

According to Chen Fei’s estimates, it would take about five or six years to reach the Great Perfection stage of the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique.

By then, even without changing to another technique, Chen Fei could break through to the peak of the Sun Moon Realm with this inheritance.

The only obstacle was the cultivation of divine powers.

The transformation of divine seed into complete divine powers aside, creating new divine powers often requires other rare materials. Although absorbing the natural essence of heaven and earth is possible, it is an extremely slow process.

However, if Chen Fei were to breakthrough to the peak of the Sun Moon Realm using the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique, his combat power might be somewhat ordinary. After all, the Thunder Roar Stellar Technique is not considered an exceptionally outstanding inheritance.

Chen Fei’s original plan was to cultivate step by step and take on various tasks to acquire resources.

The appearance of Qiankun Mansion disrupted all of Chen Fei’s plans.

“Entering the Mansion means past grievances are forgiven!”

This is not an empty promise but a long-standing ancestral decree followed since the opening of Qiankun Mansion, set by the first Governor and upheld to this day.

To enter the Mansion, only two conditions need to be met:

Achieve cultivation at the Sun Moon Realm.

2. Swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, never to betray the Human Race and to act in their defense during times of difficulty.

Of course, if circumstances make it impossible, fleeing to preserve one’s life is permitted.

These are the requirements for entering the Mansion. Essentially, as long as one does not harbor ill intentions, they can enter Qiankun Mansion and access its abundant cultivation resources.

The identity issue that Chen Fei had struggled with was instantly resolved with the opening of Qiankun Mansion.

Ten days later, in the central areas of the major Human Race cities, the Sun Moon Realm experts waited eagerly. With intense spatial fluctuations, a massive door appeared out of nowhere.

The door, forged from an unknown material, stood several dozen meters tall. The doorframe was etched with a myriad of runes, eventually converging into simple lines.

Beyond the door lay Qiankun Mansion. The Qiankun Mansion in each city was not connected; each city had its own branch. Only certain special areas were shared, where Sun Moon Realm experts from various branches could meet.

In Qiankun Mansion, the lowest-ranked individuals are eliminated, with 30% of those admitted being removed every six months. The process continues with eliminations every six months.

After a year and a half, only 10% of the original number remains, and these are the ones with a chance to reach the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm.

The rules are strict, but today’s Sun Moon Realm experts entering the Mansion are more numerous than expected.

This may be the best opportunity many Sun Moon Realm experts will have in their lifetime to access top-tier inheritances. With sufficient talent, they can freely use the resources and eventually advance to the Sixth Stage Rule Integration Realm.

Chen Fei, along with the crowd, stepped through the massive door of Qiankun Mansion and made their Heavenly Dao Oaths one by one.

The Heavenly Dao Oath is not merely a name but reaches deep into the soul.

No matter how much the soul changes, its essence remains unchanged. It may be possible to deceive others, but not the Heavenly Dao.

Dao Yuefeng, the head of the Sky Sea City branch of Qiankun Mansion, led a large group of Sun Moon Realm experts directly to the Mansion’s public area.

At this moment, not only the Sky Sea City branch but all branches of the Human Race cities were gathered in the public area of Qiankun Mansion.

A colossal stone tower stood prominently in the public area, surrounded by numerous illusory figures.

In addition to the prominent stone tower, various training facilities were situated around it.

“This is the Age Tower. Those figures represent the top hundred from previous years. I hope that one day you will also have the chance to enter the tower!” Dao Yuefeng said softly to the crowd, looking at them.
