Chapter 934: The Person I Want to See the Most (1/2)

The Ascension Pool!

……

Lu Yun located Meng Wang’s flower in the sea of Hell Flowers.

Since the luopan had become one with Lu Yun’s body, that resulted in the former immortal emperor regaining his freedom, no matter how unwilling he was to obtain it. Lu Yun sent him to the flowery plains so he could reform his soul.

Since Meng Wang’s true spirit was complete, he was the only one awake in this expanse of flora.

“You’re looking for the Ascension Pool?” Three inches tall, Meng Wang sat cross-legged on the stamen of a Hell Flower. He thought briefly before responding, “The Great Emperor of the South, Haotian, was the guardian of the Ascension Pool…”

“Who did you say?! Haotian??” Lu Yun’s expression changed drastically when he heard the name.

He hadn’t forgotten this master of the celestial court after Taiyi’s death, the one who’d colluded with realm monsters and even the big akasha ghost.

Lu Yun didn’t know what’d happened to the connate demon god in the end, but it couldn’t have been anything good. And now, he was hearing the name again.

“Ah, right, Haotian, Haotian! I wondered why his name sounded so familiar…” He smacked his forehead fiercely.

Haotian’s name existed in both Su Xiaoxiao and Cangyin’s memories. He was the Great Emperor of the South, just as Myrtlestar was the Great Empress of the East.

There were two other great emperors apart from them: Great Emperor of the West, Polaris, [1] and Great Emperor of the North, Zhenwu. [2] They’d both exceeded the primordial realm and had set eyes on the Three Purities realm. Though their cultivation level was less than the immortal emperor’s, they’d still been enough to dominate the four cardinal directions and ensure tranquility in the world of immortals.

However, they disappeared mysteriously before the great war broke out a hundred thousand years ago. Even the Ascension Pool that Haotian watched over went missing as well.

When Lu Yun returned to the great wilderness, he’d considered the connate demon gods from the perspective of a future descendant. He’d treated them as ancient figures of mythology, and apart from a few exceptions such as Ling Weiyang and others, he didn’t connect them with anyone in the future.

Not to mention, Emperor Haotian had just been someone that existed in the memories of two of his Yama Kings. He hadn’t thought much about it at the time, but a foreboding feeling rose in his heart when he heard the name again.

“Empress Myrtlestar and her tribe were buried in the eastern tomb of the Skandha Extinction Tomb. If my guess is correct, the other three emperors lie in the other tombs,” Meng Wang said to Lu Yun. He knew about Empress Myrtlestar’s affairs, but he didn’t know what Lu Yun currently thought of everything.

“Yuchi Tianhuang broke apart the Skandha Extinction Tomb a long time ago. Apart from Empress Myrtlestar in the eastern tomb, there was no sign of the other emperors anywhere to be found.” Lu Yun shook his head slightly. “But I think I know now where the other three emperors and the Ascension Pool are.”

A shadow hung over his mind. There’d only been Empress Myrtlestar and her tribe in the Skandha Extinction Tomb. Her strength alone had been enough to activate the awful Skandha Extinction Tomb and curse the four cardinal tribes.

As one of Lu Yun’s Infernum, Yuchi Tianhuang’s name was written in the Tome of Life and Death. After Lu Yun’s return from the great wilderness, he sent Yuchi Tianhuang, his dao partner Xuan Yu, and daughter Yuchi Hanxing to raze the Skandha Extinction Tomb and dispel the curse on the divine race.

Lu Yun had passed on his sect’s inheritance during these years, and the numerous experts under his command were the first to learn the secret arts of the human ancestor planet. Breaking apart a tomb wasn’t a difficult challenge to them.

“Where?” Meng Wang asked curiously.
