Chapter 1200: Chapter 1199: Something in the Sun

Letting the Controller and Guan Shanhai truly fight would definitely be unacceptable, the influence of a battle between two Immortals can be inferred from the fight between Immortal Jiuchong and the Controller, where the Extreme Northern Lands almost reverted to a sky full of stars.

The same goes for the Controller and Guan Shanhai. If these two Immortals were to fight, the entire Seek Dao Sect would be affected... oh, that’s not right, before it could be affected, Yun Zhi would have sent them back.

However, suppressing the cultivation levels of prisoners and allowing them to move freely is a viable idea.

Take, for example, the Restraining Light Treasure Box of the Laurel Fairy Palace. Any cultivator within the box has their realm suppressed to the same level, and Fairy Eternity once possessed herself, using the Restraining Light Treasure Box to challenge the Sect Leaders of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

To suppress an Immortal, the Restraining Light Treasure Box definitely doesn’t have such power, but it shouldn’t be a problem for Yingtian Immortal to use the principle of the Restraining Light Treasure Box to refine a higher-level Immortal Artifact.

After all, he is the ancestor of refining; he cannot possibly be incapable of refining anything.

"However, in order to refine an Immortal Artifact that can suppress an Immortal’s realm, quite a bit of Immortal Gold will likely be needed," Lu Yang pondered. Although he was not the Sect Leader, as a member of the Seek Dao Sect, he had to consider the interests of the Sect.

Is the cost of transforming Captive Peak a bit too much?

As Lu Yang left Captive Peak, he happen to encounter Yun Zhi walking this way.

"Eldest Senior Sister, do you have business at Captive Peak?"

"I came to find you," Yun Zhi said. "The Controller has given the method to unseal the Sun."

After learning of the method to unseal the Sun, Yun Zhi wanted to take Lu Yang for a spin on the Sun, she came out from Captive Peak, went to Sky Gate Mountain, heard that Lu Yang was looking for Meng Jingzhou, found Meng Jingzhou, then heard Lu Yang went to Captive Peak to print newspapers.

After going around in circles, the two finally met at Captive Peak.

"Can the Sun’s seal finally be broken?" Lu Yang’s spirit was lifted. The Sun had two seals in total, the first laid by the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, the second by Emperor Wu Yao of Yu. With Guan Shanhai’s capture, breaking Wu Yao’s seal would cause the power of the Sun and Lunar to surge.

The most notable example of the effect on Lu Yang’s side was Meng Jingzhou, whose Pure Yang Constitution nearly broke due to the surge of the Sun’s power.

To break the seal laid by the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord and liberate the power of Sun and Lunar, cultivators practicing the Yin Yang Technique welcomed a springtime of opportunity.

Of course, if the seal could not be broken, asking Immortal Jiuchong to increase the firepower of the Sun could also lead to a springtime for cultivators practicing the Yin Yang Technique.

"Shall we go?"

"I shall!" Lu Yang nodded eagerly. There was no reason not to go.

Yun Zhi nodded, flew ahead, and then, as if she remembered something, turned her head and said, "Also, Junior Brother, don’t always run around aimlessly."

"Ah? Oh." Lu Yang didn’t quite understand, was Eldest Senior Sister telling him not to walk around on the Sun at will?

Lu Yang performed the Tofu Venerable Celestial Form to elevate his realm to the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, where he could freely roam the universe, no longer needing Yun Zhi’s assistance.

Then Yun Zhi noticed that Lu Yang’s flight speed could not keep up with hers, so she simply formed a hand seal to drag Lu Yang along faster.

The two arrived at the Sun, and the power of the Supreme Yang hit them in the face. Lu Yang, who would once get scorched approaching the Sun, now feared not the Supreme Yang power on the surface of the Sun.

When Lu Yang wanted to get even closer, golden patterns emerged, circling the surface of the Sun, thwarting Lu Yang’s intentions.

Countless magnificent runes flickered like stars, gathered at Yun Zhi’s pale fingertips, the golden bell bracelet on her wrist jingling. Yun Zhi raised her hand, touching the golden pattern on the surface of the Sun.

Crack—

The golden pattern shattered, and the power of the Supreme Yang surged wildly, almost causing Lu Yang to tumble over.

Meanwhile, every cultivator in the Cultivation World felt the changes emanating from the Sun, with those who practiced Yin Yang Techniques experiencing the most pronounced sensations. Quite a few cultivators seized the opportunity to break through their bottlenecks.

But none of this was of concern to Yun Zhi.

"It’s time."

Yun Zhi spoke indifferently as she drew a vertical line in the air, slicing open a door on the surface of the Sun and revealing the landscape of Sun Cave Heaven.

Inside Sun Cave Heaven, majestic palaces stood tall, surrounded by an aura of immortality, glittering with gold and jade splendor as if all the marvelous treasures of the world had been used to decorate the palace. The number of Heaven and Earth Treasures within could be described as vast beyond measure, making Great Xia Palace seem insignificant by comparison.

"This is Great Qian’s Fairy Palace!"

Lu Yang suddenly realized. This was the very Fairy Palace spoken of by the cultivators of Great Qian, but they had been bound by a Restriction by the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, unable to disclose the location of the Fairy Palace!

Turns out, the Fairy Palace had been right above their heads all along!

This wasn’t just darkness beneath the lamp; it was like hiding inside the lamp itself.

"Yes, this is Great Qian’s Fairy Palace," Yun Zhi was not surprised, as The Controller had already made everything clear.

Seeing Lu Yang on alert, Yun Zhi shook her head, signaling him to lower his guard: "The Emperor Lord left long ago. When The Controller was battling with Immortal Jiuchong, he had already sensed my presence. Knowing his character, his first reaction would have been to retreat to the Fairy Palace and lead his followers to escape. Perhaps in their haste, they failed to take the Fairy Palace with them."

"There’s no one left in the Fairy Palace now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang felt a sense of regret but then realized that the Fairy Palace itself was a treasure.

Worried about the lack of Immortal Gold for the renovation of Captive Peak? Well, wasn’t that problem now solved?

The brother and sister entered the Fairy Palace, which was equally grand inside. Murals depicted various bizarre events: colossal giants plowing the earth with divine oxen, sages creating paintings with a flick of their brushes, adorning the night sky with stars, divine beings descending to eliminate demons and bring peace to the world, Emperor Yu of Great Yu seated at the center of heaven and earth, upholding the Sun and Moon...

As strangers entered the Fairy Palace, divine beings and demon beasts crawled out of the murals, baring teeth and claws ready to attack the newcomers.

This was the ability of The Controller’s Enlightenment Tao Fruit. Even an Immortal would suffer severe injuries if caught off guard by a single strike from the murals.

Yun Zhi, without even a glance, snapped her fingers, and the divine beings and demon beasts dissolved like wet paintings, blurring and fading until they vanished like a receding tide.

All this was but a trivial act for Yun Zhi, and she didn’t take it to heart as she explained the origin of the Fairy Palace.

"Initially, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord and The Controller constructed the Fairy Palace within the Sun to mitigate the influence of the Power of Faith, and since the Sun was at the center of the world, it also served to search for the Four Ancient Immortals."

"To prevent anyone from entering the Sun, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord set up a seal."

"After Great Qian fell and Great Yu rose, Emperor Wu Yao of Yu, unaware of the purpose of the seal on the Sun, disliked the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord’s monopolization of the Sun and set his own seal, effectively trapping both the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord and The Controller within the Sun."

"In fact, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord was not adept at Sealing Skills; his capability to set the seal relied on the accumulated Power of Faith."

"Violently breaking the seal would reveal the existence of the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord and The Controller, which was not conducive to reducing the influence of the Power of Faith."

"To escape the Sun, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord and The Controller spent a hundred thousand years studying the seal set by Wu Yao and finally found a flaw. They could leave the Sun without breaking the seal."

Fairy Eternity understood and summarized with her hands in her sleeves: "So what you’re saying is that Emperor Yu and The Controller, these two fools, were locked inside their own home by Wu Yao, and it took them a hundred thousand years to jimmy the lock open?"

Lu Yang: "..."

The enmity between Emperor Yu and Wu Yao was not small indeed.
