Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Yunmeng Demon Emperor?

All were exclamations of shock, disbelieving as they stared at the figure before them.

Even Xiao Yi felt his heartbeat quicken because the figure before him was just too familiar; wasn't it exactly the same as the statue of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor he had seen before at the Treasure Rock?

Could it really be the Yunmeng Demon Emperor?

This sovereign from ten thousand years ago, the ruler of the Yunmeng Dynasty that once contended with the Nantian Dynasty?

Hadn't he already perished?

How could he appear here...

Elder Tianku suddenly spoke up, "This is not the true body of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor, but merely a Spiritual Consciousness Avatar!"

"That's right, it really is just a Spiritual Consciousness Avatar..."

"Scared me to death; I thought it was real. Turns out it's just an avatar..." a ninth-layer Human Venerable sighed in relief, smiling relaxedly without a trace of reverence in his eyes when looking at the Yunmeng Demon Emperor, his gaze now carried a teasing air instead.

However...

The next second, he could no longer smile.

All there was to see was the Yunmeng Demon Emperor giving him a mere fleeting glance, his eyes emitting a cold sharpness, swept over him, and that ninth-layer Human Venerable turned rigid, his body swiftly covered in a thick layer of cyan stone skin.

Encasing him completely within.

Transformed directly into a stone sculpture!

With a wave of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor's hand...

The stone sculpture exploded with a bang.

The mighty ninth-layer Human Venerable couldn't even react before his death. Such prowess tensed up the nerves of everyone who had just relaxed.

When they looked at this Spiritual Consciousness Avatar of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor again, they no longer dared to show the slightest disrespect or irreverence.

"Since you have entered my Cloud Dream Temple, you are people of destiny. I have left three inheritances of heaven, earth, and man in the main hall. They are the cultivation resources and Secret Techniques for the Celestial Honor, Earthly Honor, and Human Venerate realms, hidden within this main hall. Those who are fated may obtain them."

After pausing momentarily, the Yunmeng Demon Emperor's cold gaze swept over everyone, "Whoever obtains the Celestial Honor inheritance will henceforth control the Cloud Dream Temple and gain the authority over the treasure vault of the Yunmeng Dynasty."

Boom!

The crowd exchanged glances.

All saw the fervor in each other's eyes.

This news was like a bolt from the blue!

The resources needed for the realms of Celestial, Earthly, and Human Honor, these were already tremendously formidable inheritances!

Not to even mention the cultivation resources for Celestial and Earthly Honor, just the cultivation resources for the Human Venerable Realm alone were enough to drive people insane!

Moreover...

To obtain the Celestial Honor inheritance, to further control the Cloud Dream Temple and acquire the treasures of the Yunmeng Dynasty!

This meant that whoever found the Celestial Honor inheritance would from then on possess the foundation to build a power comparable to the Nantian Dynasty!

"Getting hold of the inheritance is the most important. I shall spare you for now; the day I acquire the inheritance is the day you die!"

Yang Dingtian gazed at Xiao Yi with malicious venom, snickering.

But Elder Tianku started searching for the inheritance silently without uttering a word.

Even though he was one of the one hundred and eight elders of the Tiangang and Earthly Disciplines of the Changsheng Sect.

He also found it extremely difficult to obtain the Earthly Honor realm's cultivation resources and Secret Techniques; otherwise, he would not have been stuck at the fifth layer of Earth Revered for hundreds of years without advancing an inch.

Not to mention the Celestial Honor level cultivation resources and Secret Techniques!

If he could gain these resources,

His power would rise to another level.

"If I can obtain the inheritances of both heaven and earth, and one day step into the Celestial Honor, I may well contend for the position of Sect Leader..." With this thought in mind, Elder Tianku began searching more meticulously for the treasure inheritances.

Although Xiao Yi had not spoken, the inheritance was extremely important to him as well.

The foundation of the Daqian Dynasty was too shallow.

Let alone an Earthly Honor or a Heavenly Honor, even the resources needed for him to cultivate to the peak of the First-layer Human Venerable were something they probably couldn't provide!

With this thought in mind.

Xiao Yi waved his hand to let Little Lin land on his shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Little Lin, let's search together..."

"Okay, Boss!"

Little Lin nodded excitedly.

The two brothers began their search in the vast main hall.

Having just made a breakthrough to the First-layer Human Venerable Realm, coupled with the ferocious strength he had previously demonstrated, which commanded awe, there was no one who acted alongside him. The two brothers searched quietly, and after a short while, they arrived at a secluded courtyard in the southeast corner of the main hall.

They pushed the door open and entered.

Humm!

Xiao Yi felt as though he had passed through a wall of water, and as he was puzzled, the voice of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor echoed in his mind: "You have arrived!"

"Uh..."

Xiao Yi was stunned, looking bewilderedly ahead.

Inside the courtyard...

The Yunmeng Demon Emperor sat in front of a stone table, his expression solemn and imposing, his gaze fixed on Xiao Yi, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "This Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"This junior pays respects to the Demon Emperor senior!" Xiao Yi greeted with a bow.

Little Lin also sincerely said, "Little Lin pays respects to the senior!"

"Please, sit down!"

The Yunmeng Demon Emperor chuckled and nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the two of them as he said, "Congratulations to you for obtaining the treasure that the Yunmeng Dynasty has accumulated over millions of years!"

Hiss!

Even though they had expected it, hearing the Yunmeng Demon Emperor himself say these words, Xiao Yi and Little Lin couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Gulp!

Xiao Yi swallowed hard and asked, "Senior Demon Emperor, didn't you say that only those who received a Heavenly Venerable inheritance could take control of the Cloud Dream Temple?"

The Yunmeng Demon Emperor rolled his eyes and sneered, "That was just a play for those people outside, who would get the treasure and the Cloud Dream Temple had already been decided!"

With a wave of the Yunmeng Demon Emperor's hand,

The crown from Xiao Yi's storage ring flew out, hovering in front of Xiao Yi. The Yunmeng Demon Emperor looked at the crown with a trace of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes, which he quickly concealed, smilingly saying, "This Yunmeng Crown is the key to control the Cloud Dream Temple, and you've already got it. The Cloud Dream Temple can only have you as its master. Young fellow, you're very talented, and it's not a disgrace for my Yunmeng Dynasty's accumulated treasure to be handed to you. However, I hope you can promise me one condition..."

Xiao Yi said, "Senior, please tell me. As long as it is within my power, I will not decline!"

The Yunmeng Demon Emperor nodded and said, "If one day you have enough strength, obliterate the Nantian Dynasty for me!"

"..."

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment. Given the grudge between him and the Nantian Dynasty, even without the Yunmeng Demon Emperor's request, it was likely that only one of them would survive to the very end, so he nodded and said, "Senior, rest assured. If one day I truly possess such strength, I will obliterate the Nantian Dynasty!"

"Very good!"

The Yunmeng Demon Emperor laughed heartily, "This spiritual consciousness energy of mine is running low. Let me assist you in refining the Yunmeng Crown before I completely dissipate, so you can take charge of the temple!"

Whoosh!

The Yunmeng Demon Emperor turned into a sky filled with golden light, rushing into the Yunmeng Crown.

The crown underwent continuous melting.

Finally, it transformed into a walnut-sized golden bead and fell into Xiao Yi's hand. Holding the golden bead, Xiao Yi found himself intimately familiar with the Cloud Dream Temple.

Everything happening within the temple was as clear as day to him.

Looking at Elder Tianku, Yang Dingtian, and others who were desperately searching for the inheritance, Xiao Yi plotted in his mind, his lips curving into a slight smile: "The real show is just beginning!"
