Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Who should sit on the throne?

Faced with the soul-searching question from the old ancestor of the Sunset Dynasty, the Sunset Emperor fell silent.

He currently had no sons, and his several daughters had all married into other dynasties for political alliances.

Now, only Princess Mu Lian Yue remained.

The Sunset Emperor's expression was uncertain.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly looked up at the old ancestors and said, "The throne can be given to Lian Yue!"

"Royal Brother, Mu Lian Yue is not of the imperial bloodline; you picked her up!"

Several princes were shocked when they heard that he wanted Mu Lian Yue to ascend the throne, and at the same time, they felt unwilling.

They were all members of the imperial clan, close brothers to the Emperor, and they had descendants, all of whom were of the imperial bloodline.

Now, the Emperor actually wanted a princess who was not of the imperial bloodline to ascend the throne!

The princes kept looking at the old ancestors of the princes, wanting them to say a few words.

However, those old ancestors of the princes remained silent.

They were well aware that the Eternal God Ancestors of several reincarnations supported the Emperor and were direct ancestors of the Emperor, naturally unwilling to see the throne fall into the hands of a descendant of a certain prince.

"Emperor, come with us."

The four strongest old ancestors of the Sunset Dynasty stood up and walked towards a secret room.

The Sunset Emperor hurriedly followed.

Once in the secret room, they cast a sealing barrier before saying, "We know you don't want the empire to fall into their hands.

However, Lian Yue is not of the imperial bloodline.

Some time ago, you also had the Crown Prince and the Judahites use the Voodoo Forbidden Qi Powder to strip her of her fortune…"

"Old Ancestors, I have considered all of this.

My saying that I would pass the throne to Lian Yue is just a preliminary idea.

Whether or not to do so will depend on seeing Lian Yue again.

Although Lian Yue is intelligent, she is kind-hearted and has a sense of belonging to the imperial family.

From childhood to adulthood, at least as far as she is concerned, I have been very fond of her, granting her every request.

Therefore, I can completely deny instructing the Judahites and the Crown Prince to strip her of her fortune.

I can push all the blame onto the Judahites, and then sacrifice the Judahites to quell the anger in her heart with their heads.

Firstly, I can kill and silence them, burying the truth forever; secondly, I can salvage my father-daughter relationship with Lian Yue.

Although Lian Yue is not of the imperial bloodline, Lian Yue is completely controllable, and with her prosperous fortune, ascending the throne will inevitably bring about an increase in the dynasty's fortune.

In the future, when I finish my cultivation and leave seclusion, I can depose her and take back the throne.

Conversely, if a son of a certain prince ascends the throne, will they willingly return the throne in the future?

Lian Yue's throne, if she doesn't return it, I can snatch it by force.

But the son of a prince is different; once they sit on the throne, those old ancestors of the princes outside will help their descendants speak, and coming by force will only lead to internal discord, which is very unfavorable!"

"What you say makes sense, and your considerations are thorough.

This is precisely the concern of us ancestors, so we will not consider letting the son of a prince ascend the throne.

In this case, you need to pay attention to Lian Yue, and you must make her believe that the Crown Prince and the Judahites acted on their own initiative. You must successfully clear your name, disguise yourself as a victim, and make her feel your fatherly love.

You must be careful of your empress, lest she detects anything and ruins things.

Now that the Sunset Heaven has completely parted ways with us, the empress's identity has become sensitive.

After all, she is the goddess of the Sunset Heaven for several generations.

You must cut off the empress's contact with the outside world to avoid any trouble.

If people from the Sunset Heaven come to see her, you need to secretly monitor them.

In short, be as cautious as possible and don't lose big because of small things!"

"I will keep the ancestors' teachings in mind!"

"Let's go, we'll go out."

After the four strongest old ancestors of the Sunset Dynasty finished speaking, they removed the barrier and walked out of the secret room.

The princes all cast their gazes over.

The four old ancestors swept their gazes and said, "We and the Emperor have made a decision on the matter of the heir to the throne, so you don't need to worry about it anymore.

Remember, no one is allowed to reveal the fact that Lian Yue is not of the imperial bloodline.

Once it is leaked, you should know what the consequences will be!"

Upon hearing this, the princes trembled and knelt down, "Old Ancestors, rest assured, we dare not act presumptuously!"

"All of you, withdraw."

"Yes!"

The Sunset Emperor and the princes bowed and retreated to the entrance of the imperial forbidden area before turning to leave.

"Someone!"

The Sunset Emperor returned to his study and immediately summoned his trusted old eunuch.

"Go to the Secret Realm in person, find the princess, and tell her that her father and mother miss her.

Regarding the Crown Prince and the Judahites' unauthorized attempt to harm her, this Emperor and the Empress, upon learning of it, have already imprisoned the Judahites in the Death Row."

"Yes!"

The old eunuch hurriedly withdrew, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth the moment he closed the door.

It seemed that the master's plan had succeeded, coming faster and smoother than expected.

After the old eunuch left, the Sunset Emperor stayed in the study for a while, then went to the Empress's palace.

He told the Empress that the Judahites, in collusion with the Crown Prince, had obtained the Voodoo Forbidden Qi Powder from somewhere and attempted to harm Lian Yue in the Secret Realm, wanting to strip her of her fortune.

Fortunately, they did not succeed, and now the Judahites had been imprisoned in the Death Row by him.

He stated that he would kill the Judahites to vent Lian Yue's anger as soon as she returned.

The Empress appeared full of anger on the surface, but in her heart, she felt fortunate and sighed.

Fortunately, Lian Yue was fine.

Sadly, the Emperor had indeed taken action against Lian Yue.

Now, she wondered why the Emperor had suddenly told her these things; what was his purpose?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the Sunset Emperor say that he had already sent the chief eunuch to the Secret Realm to find Lian Yue.

He also stated that he intended to make Lian Yue the Crown Princess, preparing to pass the throne to her.

The Empress appeared happy on the surface, but her heart was pounding.

His proposal last night to make Lian Yue the Empress was just to test the Emperor.

As a result, today, the Emperor actually intended to let Lian Yue ascend the throne!

What was the Emperor's intention?

She was well aware that the Emperor could not possibly sincerely let Lian Yue sit on the throne.

His decision must have an ulterior motive!

If Lian Yue ascends the throne in the future, staying in the palace day after day, wouldn't she be under the Emperor's control at all times, and in danger at any moment?

"What should I do? What can I do to help Lian Yue resolve this crisis?

I must not watch Lian Yue jump into the fire pit!"

The Empress was anxious in her heart, repeatedly pondering.

"Empress, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about Lian Yue. I haven't seen that girl for a long time. I wonder what she's doing in the Secret Realm right now."

The Empress's beautiful eyes revealed a look of longing, with a motherly and doting expression on her face.

The Sunset Emperor looked at the expression on the Empress's face, the eyes filled with the light of maternal love, dispelling the suspicion in his heart.

… …

Inside a mountain range near Sunset City, in a certain lake, the Eight-Nine Profound Palace was integrated with the lake water.

Jun Wu Xie was cultivating inside the Profound Palace.

In the past few days, nearly two hundred days had passed inside the double time formation.

Under the effects of the eighth-order and ninth-order Breakthrough Divine Pills, he had already cultivated the Supreme God Extreme Realm to perfection.

Now, he was already in the Half-Step God Emperor Realm,衝擊ing the Small Heavenly Position Realm of the God Emperor.

As his realm improved, the time required for cultivation became longer and longer, and the demand for resources became more and more terrifying.

The eighth-order Breakthrough Divine Pills had long been exhausted, and of the twenty-five ninth-order Breakthrough Divine Pills, only the last five remained.

His realm was already close to the breaking point.

The remaining five ninth-order Breakthrough Divine Pills were just enough.

Every inch of his body was flowing with golden light, filled with divine brilliance, and the sound inside his body was endless, like thousands of rivers rushing and roaring.

Every day, Jun Wu Xie's essence, energy, and spirit were becoming stronger.

This continued for more than twenty days.

On this day, mountains collapsed and the sea overturned, the momentum was vast and boundless, and the blazing chaotic golden light soared into the sky.

The chaotic golden cloud sea instantly covered the sky.

The light on his body was too dazzling, and his figure could not be seen at all.

The entire time formation was completely submerged in the chaotic golden light, and the vast momentum shook the chaotic golden light, causing it to roll and surge.

This scene and景象 lasted for a whole day.

When the momentum stopped and the light was withdrawn.

Jun Wu Xie opened his eyes.

His pupils were deep and distant, like the boundless starry sky, or like two bottomless abysses.

"Finally, I have broken through to the God Emperor Realm."

He stretched his muscles and bones, and moved his arms, and just a slight shake shattered the surrounding space.

From now on, he was invincible under the Supreme!

Calculating the time, only a few days had passed outside.

Lian Yue and the others should still be cultivating in the Secret Realm.

The resources he gave them last time were abundant, enough for them to cultivate for a while.

Their speed of refining resources was far less than his, so the time required would be relatively longer.

"Now I can continue to use the Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pill."

Jun Wu Xie did not leave the Eight-Nine Profound Palace, he took a Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pill and continued to cultivate.

Day after day.

Every day, the purity of his life blood energy was improving, the toughness of his physical body was increasing, and his divine power was also growing.

Last time, in the two Secret Realms, he obtained a total of forty Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pills.

He only kept ten for himself, and the rest were left in the Secret Realm, managed and distributed by the Little Boundary Tree.

So far, he had used a total of nine Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pills, and the one he was currently refining was the tenth.

During this period, he had broken through many realms, stepped onto a new great realm, and could use many more Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pills.

Basically, every ten days or so, he could refine a Vajra Divine Bone Supreme Pill.

Time flew by in cultivation.

The intensity of his physical body and the aura of his life blood energy had exploded during this period.

After more than a hundred days of cultivation, I have refined a total of nine Supreme Adamantine God Bone Pills.

Adding to the ones I refined previously, I have now used a total of eighteen Supreme Adamantine God Bone Pills.

Each Supreme Adamantine God Bone Pill brings a huge improvement to the overall offensive and defensive capabilities for someone who cultivates the body, stacking on top of the new foundation each time.

This time, my physical body has been strengthened nine times, and my strength has increased exponentially!

He stretched his arms, feeling the vast and majestic divine power within his body, and was quite satisfied with the power he possessed in this realm.

"The suppression of the Supreme God Realm barrier is extremely strong, but if I go all out, I should be able to contend with it."

To contend with the Supreme God Realm in the Divine Sovereign Lesser Celestial Realm.

Such a thing was something he would not have dared to dream of in the past.

Even as the reincarnated body of Shi, it is still very difficult to reach such a level of strength upon first entering the Divine Sovereign Realm.

It must be said that the various ancient origins that the master of the secret realm spent painstaking efforts to find and fuse into the Supreme Adamantine God Bone Pill helped him a lot!

"I'll go out and take a look first. I'll cultivate the Dao of Talismans later."

Jun Wuxie got up and put away the Time Talisman Formation.

Leaving the Eight Nine Profound Palace and appearing on the lake, a gust of breeze blew, carrying the freshness of the mountains and forests and the lake water.

"I wonder how the Sunset Royal Family is doing now."

He used his divine sense to contact the old eunuch, but found that the old eunuch was no longer in the palace.

"Where did he go?"

Jun Wuxie was slightly startled.

The old eunuch must be alive. If he were dead, he, as the one who had converted him, would have sensed it immediately.

"Let's go back to the secret world and take a look first."

Jun Wuxie immediately activated the Secret World Reception Talisman, and his body disappeared by the lake.

When he appeared in the courtyard of the Venerable Guest Residence, the Little World Tree was sitting alone at the stone table under the tree.

Seeing him return, the Little World Tree immediately greeted him.

"Jun God, was your trip smooth?"

"Very smooth."

"Today, someone from the Sunset Dynasty was inquiring about Lian Yue's whereabouts. I knew it must be related to the plan implemented by Jun God."

"Oh, who is it?"

The Little World Tree waved her jade-like hand in the void, and a light curtain appeared, reflecting a picture.

"Is it him?"

Inside was the old eunuch whom he had converted.

"Wan, have him come to the Venerable Guest Residence."

Upon hearing this, the Little World Tree immediately transmitted a voice message to the old eunuch.

Before long, the old eunuch hurried over here.

"This old servant greets the master!"

The old eunuch was very excited. He did not expect that the master had already returned to the secret world.

These days, he had been searching for the princess in the city, also wanting to find the master and tell him the news of the palace.

However, after searching for many days, he could not find him.

Today, he finally saw the master.

"What is the purpose of your coming to the secret world?"

"Reporting to the master, it was the Sunset Emperor who sent this old servant to the secret world to find the princess."

The old eunuch immediately explained the situation he knew in detail.

"The fish has already taken the bait, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.

It seems that the Sunset Emperor still cares about imperial power and doesn't want it to fall into the hands of the princes, and he is also looking forward to the secret techniques of the people from the True World, unwilling to miss the best time for cultivation in this great era."

Jun Wuxie smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the house where Mu Lian Yue was in seclusion, and said, "However, I can't let Lian Yue take over the throne so quickly.

Lian Yue still needs to grow, at least until the Divine Sovereign Realm before we talk about it."

"By the way, master, this old servant thinks that the empress should not know about that matter.

At that time, the emperor went to the Voodoo Ancestral Land, also secretly and alone, without informing the empress.

Moreover, since some time ago, the emperor has cut off the empress's secret channels for obtaining various information.

It is said that Sunset Heaven has already expressed its full support for resisting the darkness, and the empress happens to be the goddess of several generations of Sunset Heaven."

"Whether the empress knows or not cannot be concluded yet, we must be on guard."

Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie looked at the Little World Tree and said, "It is estimated that Lian Yue will be out of seclusion soon. When that time comes, you will accompany her to the Sunset Dynasty.

Now that the Sunset Royal Family has taken the bait, the strategy needs to be changed.

You are responsible for protecting Lian Yue in secret, without directly showing yourself.

For the time being, do not let the Sunset Royal Family know that there is a strong person beside Lian Yue who can contend with them.

Only in this way will the Sunset Royal Family be more at ease in letting Lian Yue ascend to the throne.

When Lian Yue ascends to the throne in the future, you can appear as her protector to deter them from acting rashly, so that Lian Yue can implement her own decrees in a bold manner!"

"Wan understands, Jun God, please rest assured."

Jun Wuxie nodded and turned to the old eunuch and said, "What position do those people from the True World live in in the palace? Draw a map for me to see."

"Yes, master."

The old eunuch immediately used divine patterns to draw a map, drawing the entire palace, and marking the location of the people from the True World. "Master, please be careful, there are two True World powerhouses, equivalent to the Divine Ancestor Realm, and the aura in their bodies is special and very powerful!"

Jun Wuxie glanced at the map and memorized the location.

"I'll go solve those people from the True World first.

Wan, you wait for Lian Yue to come out and take her back to Sunset City, and tell her that I will be waiting for her in Sunset City."

After saying that, he disappeared again and appeared by the lake in the mountains near Sunset City.
