Chen Jiuyang meticulously recorded all of his Yuan Dao, leaving behind his entire legacy without omitting any details.
"Good."
After a day and a night, Chen Jiuyang looked with satisfaction at the legacy he had left behind.
"If anyone chooses my legacy in the future, they will surely not regret it."
"'Eternal Tribulation,' my legacy has been left. Is there anything else?"
After leaving his legacy, Chen Jiuyang felt that his karma with the True Demon Sect had lessened.
"'Eternal Tribulation's' voice sounded, 'Several Patriarchs' Patriarchs wish to see you.'"
"Rumble!!!"
The Chongming Sea churned as if it were overturning the rivers and seas, raising waves thousands of feet high.
Then.
Several terrifying and awe-inspiring auras appeared.
They were:
Patriarch 'Eight Darkness,' Patriarch 'Carrying Fortune,' Patriarch 'Ming Ti,' Patriarch 'Mysterious Star,' and Patriarch 'Nine Du.'
Chen Jiuyang immediately cupped his fists and bowed, "Greetings, several Patriarchs."
"Mm." The five Patriarchs nodded slightly, responding with satisfaction.
Their gazes appraised Chen Jiuyang's physical body, and they were even more pleased.
Patriarch 'Eight Darkness' said, "I said back then that you would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in the future. I did not expect that in just a short nap, you would have already stepped into the Imperial Dao. Your achievements may even surpass mine in the future."
Patriarch 'Eight Darkness' was at least a super-powerful being at the Martial Saint level.
Chen Jiuyang said, "You flatter me, Patriarch."
Patriarch 'Carrying Fortune' said, "'Qian Yang,' you need not be so modest. Forging a furnace with the Five Great Origins to ascend to the Immortal Platform, even our Chongming Sea Holy Land cannot find many prodigies comparable to you."
Patriarch 'Ming Ti' said, "We summoned you this time to inquire about the Holy Dao Contest. You have now entered the Imperial Dao, when will you continue it?"
Chen Jiuyang replied, "This disciple will set the time for three days later, choosing the Supreme Holy Sect."
Patriarch 'Mysterious Star' said, "There have been quite a few who have walked the path of the Holy Dao Contest, but most have been defeated by the Supreme lineage. The Supreme lineage is different from the other eight lineages; the Patriarch of this lineage has not slumbered in the Holy Land."
"The Supreme lineage's 'Creation from Nothingness' is extremely troublesome. Among the one hundred and eight eternal lineage families of our Holy Dao, the Supreme lineage occupies over twenty seats."
"'Creation from Nothingness' is a divine ability, a source, and a law, extremely vexing. Once one joins the Supreme lineage, they will be brainwashed."
"The stronger one imagines, the stronger they truly become, but it also causes them to become mad, believing themselves to be Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Realm..."
"And the mortal world, in their eyes, is merely a trial..."
Chen Jiuyang had previously heard the old demon Jianyan mention that the combat power of the Supreme Holy Sect was unfathomable, growing stronger against the strong and weaker against the weak, varying from person to person.
They all considered themselves immortals from the Immortal Realm, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors, making it difficult to discern the truth. They only felt that the mortal world was but a dream and were not very interested in external struggles.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuyang instantly felt the troublesome nature of the Supreme Demonic Sect.
Once there is a reference, the opponent will immediately become stronger than you.
This... is somewhat unsolvable...
Chen Jiuyang asked, "This disciple knows the troublesome aspects of the Supreme lineage and has a general plan to deal with it."
Patriarch 'Mysterious Star' slowly nodded, "Since you have a plan, I shall say no more."
Patriarch 'Nine Du' said, "By borrowing your legacy to leave behind, we were able to meet you. Once you unify the Holy Dao and ascend to the position of 'Holy Emperor,' becoming the Lord of the Chongming Sea Holy Land, you can wield the Nine Great Holy Artifacts of the Holy Dao to unseal the Chongming Sea, allowing us to return to the mortal world. Then, we will assist you in attacking and annihilating the heretical Dao legacies, after which, we Patriarchs will directly kill into the five heretical Dao lands."
Chen Jiuyang suddenly understood the fundamental reason why the Chongming Sea had established the Nine Great Demonic Sects in the mortal world. It seemed to be the unification of the nine sects, but in reality, it was a competition for the position of the Lord of the Chongming Sea Holy Land.
To contend for this position, one must be a person of the current era, tested in the Holy Dao Contest to see if they possess great destiny and can bear the responsibility of the Holy Land Lord, and also possess supreme combat power...
It was truly extremely strict.
Chen Jiuyang slowly nodded, "I understand what you Patriarchs mean."
Patriarch 'Mysterious Star' said, "No, you do not yet fully understand. Our Chongming Sea Holy Land fought a war with the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Realm a long time ago, suffering heavy losses, and was forced to relocate the Holy Land to this mortal realm."
"The mortal realm is the thirty-second layer of the thirty-three layers of the Immortal Realm, very close to the Immortal Realm."
"Therefore, the one hundred and eight lineages of the Holy Land each sent descendants to establish sects, recovering from their injuries through destiny and slumber. Over a long period, our injuries have almost fully healed."
"However, due to changes in the Supreme lineage, the Holy Land has been unable to revive for a long time. It requires someone to ascend to the position of Holy Lord and simultaneously eliminate the heretical Dao lineages and absorb their destiny to revive the Holy Land."
"For hundreds of thousands of years, 'Qian Yang,' you are the most astonishing junior. Whether the Holy Land can be revived or not, this karmic responsibility falls upon you."
Chen Jiuyang's heart felt heavy, "I understand."
"Patriarchs, please do not worry. This disciple's original intention was to avenge himself by killing the heretical Dao, and secondly, to find the whereabouts of his wife in the Lesser Immortal Realm."
Patriarch 'Mysterious Star' said, "You must seize the time. Your talent is extraordinary, and you will surely achieve immortality in the future. The time of turmoil for all races is the opportunity to become an immortal. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to slumber like us and wait for the next chance."
Afterward, the figures of these Patriarchs disappeared.
The 'Eternal Tribulation' scroll slowly closed.
Then.
Chen Jiuyang left the place and flew towards the Sect Master's Hall.
This time, the Sect Master's Hall and its surroundings were densely packed with people. Inside the hall, at least those at the Nascent Soul stage and Heavenly realm and above were present.
Demonic cultivators of various colors and attire stood there in a black mass.
Some were gloating, some were indifferent, and some were panicked.
More than a hundred people were also bound and stood at the very front of the hall.
"Sect Master arrives!"
A guard outside the hall announced.
Inside the hall, on the dragon throne, a mass of demonic energy surged forth, and then Chen Jiuyang's figure slowly appeared.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Thousands of people inside and thousands outside the hall simultaneously shouted respectfully, then all knelt on one knee, paying homage to Chen Jiuyang on the dragon throne.
Such a scene was still somewhat spectacular!
Things were different now; Chen Jiuyang was already a peerless powerhouse of the Imperial realm.
Chen Jiuyang sat on the dragon throne, his expression indifferent, his eyes cold. He swept his gaze down at the thousands of people below, and his emotionless voice rang out:
"This time, those who colluded with the heretical Dao forbidden families and attacked my kin while I was undergoing tribulation, are these pigs and dogs before me?"
"I will only give you one chance. Is there anyone else involved?"
"The Patriarchs of the Chongming Sea summoned me just now. If you think you have the backing of the Holy Land Patriarchs, you are gravely mistaken."
"If I find out—"
"Your clan will be annihilated!"
The might of the Demonic Emperor was revealed for the first time.
