Chapter 916.2: Destruction of the Builder Tree (1/2)

“Tushan is correct. Houtu carries the concept of reincarnation on her. If she doesn’t go with you to your era, it’s very likely she’ll transform into the wheel of reincarnation and never be reborn herself.” Huaxu nodded.

Reincarnation didn’t yet exist in this time period, but its system had to be built sooner or later. Houtu carried the seed of reincarnation on her and was also the current Yin Prince. If a reincarnation system appeared, she would have to become part of it and never be released.

On the other hand, a new seed of reincarnation would be born in the netherdark once she left. Her absence wouldn’t affect the wheel of reincarnation from being formed.

“Alright, since things have ended here for now, it’s time for me to go,” Huaxu said to Lu Yun and the little fox. She disappeared from their view with a quick turn of her body.

……

Lu Yun returned to the great wilderness and paid visits to collect Changxi, Shaodian, Jiang Ti, Ah Zhi, Zhi Guangji, and Chi Biaonu’s soul force. As for Ling Weiyang… Ashu was alive and well in the world of immortals.

After some thought, Lu Yun traveled to the Shui and Hao nations for Gonggong and Zhurong’s soul force as well. These two divine spirits had abdicated their positions and passed the throne onto Black Emperor Zhi Guangji and Crimson Emperor Chi Biaonu.

“Everything has been prepared. I just need to wait for the right moment to drive this spear into the celestial court and then… go home.” It’d been eighty years since he’d arrived in the great wilderness. Though it’d been a very normal period of time for him in that he hadn’t experienced the years go by, he felt that he’d been away from home for too long.

It was time to go home.

……

Lu Yun threw himself into closed door cultivation. He didn’t know when the right moment would be, but since Fuxi would notify him when it arrived, there was nothing to worry about.

However, Ling Weiyang came calling after he’d just started meditating.

“Flame Emperor! I have word of where the Heavenly Grass is!” Ling Weiyang arrived with a not-so-pleasant expression on his face.

“The Heavenly Grass? Isn’t that in the celestial court?” Lu Yun blinked and asked subconsciously.

“It’s not there anymore, it’s in the Mu nation now.” Ling Weiyang’s scowl deepened. “The realm monster that stole my master’s body wants to combine it with the Builder Tree and turn it into a ladder to the world of celestials!”

Lu Yun jumped up, suddenly recalling something that Wahuang had once said to him.

The first great emperor of the human race would personally destroy the Builder Tree, and that great emperor… was Lu Yun!

The Mu nation was no longer what it’d once been. Everyone knew that something had taken possession of the Mu nation ruler and thus, Ling Weiyang had established another Mu nation elsewhere and become its ruler—the Azure Emperor.

However, the nation’s foundations lay with the Builder Tree, so though there was a new Mu nation, it wasn’t very legitimate in the eyes of the world.

“Alright, I’ll go with you and execute that realm monster. I’ll take back your kingdom for you!” Lu Yun brought out Worldcarver again.

Rumble—

A tremendous shudder shook the world as countless rays of sword qi descended from the heavens to fill the sky.

“Hahahaha!!” Unfettered laughter echoed through the firmament. “I’ve finally seen through the sword formation and set foot into the chaos realm!”

It was the Yellow Emperor’s voice.

Lu Yun had set up a sword formation outside the great wilderness to temper his junior, but Xuanyuan had taken only a few short months to break it and ascend to the chaos realm. Even Lu Yun was taken aback by this speed of accomplishment; no wonder Hongjun had chosen him as the next great emperor! Xuanyuan was truly worthy of being called an unparalleled genius!

A genius of his caliber can’t die like this. With that in mind, Lu Yun shot into the air and found the preening Yellow Emperor.

“Flame Emperor, let’s fight!” Brandishing the Xuanyuan Sword, he looked at Lie Shan with exuberant battle intent.

Lu Yun, however, ignored him. He grabbed the Yellow Emperor like he would a chick and extracted a tendril of soul force from the center of his brows.

“You!!” Xuanyuan stared dumbly at Lu Yun, unable to find the appropriate words.

“I’m infinitely close to Leize and if I really tried, he probably wouldn’t be my match either, to say nothing of someone who’s just broken through to chaos realm like you.” Lu Yun smiled. “After all, I’ve cultivated for longer than you have. Live well and you’ll surpass me one day, becoming the strongest in the world.”

Still reeling from the earlier shock, Xuanyuan’s eyes lit up when he heard the last sentence.

“Alright, you should go back to the human race and make your preparations for the coming war.” After comforting the Yellow Emperor, Lu Yun headed to the east.

“Where are you going?” asked Xuanyuan to see his senior speed for the east.

“To help the Azure Emperor take back the Mu nation!” Lu Yun called back.
