Chapter 1804: Emperor Yu Palace

Any cultivator who entered this Nine Cauldrons Restricted World had to take every step with caution, fearing that they would trigger a restrictive array and inviting their own doom.

Yet, that person who had just zoomed past them was showy and arrogant, treating the restrictive force here as if it was nothing. Such an attitude enraged many people.

“Something’s not right!”

When they noticed that Lin Xun never encountered any obstruction as he shot through the heavy restrictive arrays like a meteor, their faces began changing color.

“Damn it! Who’s that bastard rushing to die?!” Chi Lingzi’s face was gloomy as his heart burned with anxiety.

“Quick, use everything to break out of this restriction. It matters not if we damage some treasures to do that, we must get in as soon as possible!” He urged the dao rune founder while he and his Saint-King escorts began to use brute force on the restriction.

It was known to everyone that the great opportunity inside Nine Cauldron Mountains was located in the center of this restricted world.

How could Chi Lingzi stand and watch someone else beat him to it?!

“Change of plans, advance with full force!”

“Hurry!”

“Release all the Nimble Bugs you’ve raised, use them to break the restriction!”

At the same time, distributed in different areas of this world, Shui Biyun, Li You, Lie Dongzhan, Xiao Budu, and the other supreme figures also realized the severity of the situation and started going all out.

One of them summoned a variety of puppet beasts, sacrificing them to advance through the restriction.

Another deployed some kind of mystical plant that grew countless vines and branches in the blink of an eye. Like growing hands, they quickly spread out to different corners of the restrictive array.

One released their spirit insects…

One commanded mindless ghosts and spirits to open the way for them…

All sorts of techniques and methods were utilized.

Obviously, these top figures from the Nine Major Worlds had all come with full preparations for this operation.

No one could easily give up on this opportunity, or to be exact, they were determined to win it!

“Quick, we must be quick!”

An invisible contest completely erupted in the vast restricted world.

Meanwhile, at the center, there was a lofty, sacred palace that was roughly a thousand feet tall, looking brilliant and grand as it was fully molded with chaos bronze.

At the front, a tall and handsome figure stood with his arms folded, his black hair dancing as he slightly looked up at the palace.

Lin Xun was the first to arrive here.

The entrance doors were closed shut. Their surfaces were engraved with birds and animals, insects and fish, the sun, the moon, the stars, and then a raging river that poured down from the sky and swept through everything…

A majestic figure stood above the river with his back against all those living beings, crafting the nine cauldrons and stationing them in nine different directions of this world…

Could this be the founder of the Yu Clan, Emperor Yu?

Lin Xun had learned from Yu Qingyang that the history of the Yu Clan could be traced back to the early ancient period, which had been right after the end of the primeval era.

Therefore, the Yu Clan was truly an Ancient Imperial Clan.

Emperor Yu naturally was a supreme expert who had certified his dao in the early ancient era.

He had harvested primal chaos origin from the Nine Major Worlds and used it to forge nine Emperor-grade cauldrons in this secret realm located at Nine-Province River.

Therefore, the engraving on the entrance gates of this palace instantly reminded Lin Xun of it.

Shortly after, he recovered from deep thoughts and waved his sleeve.

Yu Yunhe, Yu Yunfeng, and Yu Yunlong instantly appeared. When they saw the ancient bronze palace, all three revealed looks of disbelief.

Emperor Yu Palace!

This was the place of fortune left by their founder!

But just how long had passed? How had Lin Xun arrived so quickly?

Lin Xun said, “I’ve checked it with my spirit sense. The details in the door’s engraving are related to some of your clan’s history, so it’s a good idea that you study it yourselves.”

Yu Yunhe agreed, “You’re correct, Brother Lin. In the eyes of outsiders, it is the opportunity within the palace that is crucial, but for us descendants of the Yu Clan, it is most important whether or not we are able to understand the secret left by our founding ancestor in this Emperor Yu’s Nine Cauldrons of Water Ruling Diagram.”

In saying this, he had unconsciously spilled a secret.

Both Yu Yunfeng and Yu Yunlong inwardly tensed up, fearing that Lin Xun would be tempted by this and would make it difficult for them.

Lin Xun glanced at the two. “If I wanted to take it for myself, do you think you can stop me?”

The two were embarrassed for a good while.

“Waste no time. Hurry up and study it.”

Lin Xun just left these words and turned around. With his back facing Emperor Yu Palace, he gazed at the distant world shrouded in restrictive power.

The Yu trio also knew that time was tight. They all operated their clan’s heritage technique and focused on perceiving the engraving.

“Hmm?”

Not long after, there was a fluctuation in the restriction. Then, a group of cultivators rushed out, their leader being Shui Biyun from Xuanshui Great World.

When she saw Lin Xun standing not far away as well as Yu trio, she frowned fiercely. Then, she exclaimed, “The one recklessly flying in the sky just now…was you?”

Lin Xun had left a deep impression on her.

When they had been outside at Nine-Province River, he had single-handedly suppressed Zhang Bairong and fought a Saint-King without falling into a disadvantage. It had shocked her as it had the others.

Shui Biyun just hadn’t guessed at all that the one zooming across the sky through the heavy restrictive arrays was actually Lin Xun.

This was completely out of her expectation.

Lin Xun silently glanced at them: two Saint-Kings, a dao rune founder, and four supreme Big Saints including Shui Biyun.

According to his shallow understanding of the Great Yu World, this team could already be considered a strong lineup that could dominate a region.

Shui Biyun said indifferently, “Regardless of whether you came first or not, it is best that you make way if you don’t want any trouble.”

The threat in her voice was faint, but it was there.

The Yu trio grew anxious, not expecting that rivals would arrive so soon. In this instant, they looked at Lin Xun in unison.

Lin Xun didn’t even turn his head back as he said, “You guys don’t have to pay attention to anything else with me here. Just focus on studying.”

“I take it you prefer a beating to a toast?” Shui Biyun’s eyes turned cold.

As a character who was invincible in the same stage in Xuanshui Great World, whenever she ventured out, even elders of other organizations had to be courteous to her.

Lin Xun’s attitude made her very uncomfortable. Did this guy not see that it was impossible for him alone to block her group?

“Young Miss, it’s urgent that we act,” said a gray-haired woman by Shui Biyun’s side in a sharp voice, her eyes beaming out killing intent.

But right at this moment, there was another violent fluctuation in the distant restriction, followed closely by another group of experts rushing out.

The figure at the very front was enveloped in radiant flames. He was tall and slender, with a pair of wings on his back that emitted hazy fire dao runes.

Chi Lingzi!

He had arrived with his group.

They appeared to be more or less in a sorry state, obviously having suffered quite a bit when breaking the restriction.

But even so, it did not detract from their might.

“Consider yourself lucky this time.” Shui Biyun icily shot Lin Xun a glance. Her killing intent had quietly shifted to a new target – Chi Lingzi’s party.

Compared to Lin Xun’s group, Chi Lingzi’s group was a great enemy that she took very seriously.

Although they came from different worlds, Shui Biyun had also heard that Chi Lingzi had been born with great power and superb aptitude, and was regarded as the number one supreme Big Saint in Huoming Great World.

Swish!

A ghostly, fluid sword shadow emerged behind Shui Biyun, its blade gleaming with obscure sharpness as it pointed right at the leader of the newly arrived group.

Chi Lingzi’s pupils shrunk, then he snorted, “Hmph! I was too lazy to spar with you in the outside world, but it does not mean I’m scared of you!”

He had also noticed Lin Xun’s group but directly ignored them, obviously having the thought as Shui Biyun that they weren’t a threat.

Boom!

With a lift of his hand, a flaming battle spear emerged. The weapon steamed with a fiery haze and a shocking aura of destruction.

At the same time, the escorts of both him and Shui Biyun assumed fighting stances, not at all concealing their battle intent.

Tension rose in the atmosphere!

Lin Xun, as well as the Yu trio behind him, were in turn left unattended…

However, this battle did not break out, because the distant restriction once again rumbled violently.

A stalwart young man with bulging muscles and skin that seemed to be made of cemented bronze emerged. Radiating a terrifying blood qi power, he was Li You, a supreme sword cultivator of Ruijin Great World.

Chi Lingzi’s and Shui Biyun’s eyes immediately narrowed, and they forced down the impulse to act. The current situation was no longer their two parties against each other, but a tripartite one.

However, it soon changed again.

Qingkong Great World, Lie Dongzhan.

Bailan Great World, Xiao Budu.

One by one, supreme figures from different major worlds charged in with their escorts. As the front of Emperor Yu Palace became a gathering place of heaven prides and powerful experts, the atmosphere also became unpredictable.

Taking a deep breath, Chi Lingzi put away his war spear. “It seems we can’t determine a winner between us for now.”

Shui Biyun snorted coldly, but the chilling sword shadow behind her also disappeared.

“That person just now, was it you?” Li You’s eyes zapped like electricity as he turned toward Lin Xun. He looked extremely intimidating.

The cultivators around also looked over with unsightly expressions.

Previously, they had entered the restricted world from different routes, and the silent competition between them hadn’t even been close to being intense. Everything had been in order.

But Lin Xun’s appearance had been like a huge stone thrown in a pool of still water, completely disrupting their plans.

Moreover, in order to arrive here as soon as possible, they had all suffered losses along the way, with quite some treasures being destroyed and their own people being injured.

Not only so, but there had also even been casualties!

This made them incomparably angry and upset. If there hadn’t been stirs in the restriction, how could they have suffered such losses?

The atmosphere was oppressive as everyone’s hostility vaguely pointed at Lin Xun alone.

At this moment, the focus of attention was still standing quietly as if he didn’t care about his current situation. His expression was ever unperturbed and hadn’t changed in the slightest.

However, anyone could tell that he was guarding the Yu trio!

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Weren’t you quite imposing just now when you rampaged through the heavy restriction?” Li You’s voice was frosty.

Faced with his aggressive questioning, Lin Xun simply turned a blind eye. He just stood there like the crowd didn’t exist.
