Chapter 816
The 9th Heaven of the Great Luo
Before Yang You, the Great Heavenly King of the North, finished speaking, a tremendous aura erupted from his body.
It was clearly a Dao Realm expert.
"Do you know Ye Tongxuan?"
Su Mu looked at the other party and said calmly, "I came here at the invitation of Ye Tongxuan to have a meeting with Changshengtian."
"Ye Tongxuan?"
Yang You's aura faltered. He stared at Su Mu and the other man, his gaze sweeping over them, his brows furrowing slightly.
"You want to have a meeting with the Eternal Heaven?"
His tone was hesitant.
"Exactly."
Su Mu nodded and said, "I am neither a member of the Great Qian Dynasty nor a member of the Yanfu Sect. If you wish, you can consider me their enemy."
There's a saying in my hometown: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
This is also why Ye Tongxuan invited me here.
"Consider this: if Ye Tongxuan hadn't invited me, how could I have so easily passed through your Luo Tian Grand Array?"
Yang You's face showed a look of deep agreement. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Where is Ye Tongxuan?"
"Just as we were passing through the Luo Tian Formation, the Da Qian Dynasty sent people to attack it. You should already know this. Ye Tongxuan barely managed to send us out in order to stop them, but he himself is trapped in the formation and needs you to send people to rescue him."
Su Mu spoke without hesitation.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect standing behind him opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
He wondered, what if the people of Da Luo Tian really rescued Ye Tongxuan?
Wouldn't that immediately expose the deception?
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect did not expect that Ye Tongxuan being trapped in the Luo Tian Formation was a very shameful thing. Now that Su Mu had given him a way out, he certainly wouldn't expose his own embarrassing situation.
People always care about saving face.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more one cares about face.
Ye Tongxuan certainly didn't want to become a laughing stock in the Great Luo Heaven, so he would definitely accept Su Mu's offer of a way out.
However, Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, frowned.
Without seeing Ye Tongxuan, he couldn't determine whether what Su Mu said was true or false.
Before confirming Su Mu's identity, how could he casually take Su Mu to see the Eternal Heaven?
“I know what you’re worried about, but think about it. How powerful is Changshengtian? Is there anyone in the world who can hurt him? Impossible.”
Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Besides, do I look like a fool? Would I willingly throw my life away?"
I came to see Changshengtian to discuss how we could work together to deal with the Great Qian Dynasty.
As you can see, the powerful figures of the Great Qian Dynasty are attacking the Luo Tian Formation. If you don't take any measures soon, the Great Qian Dynasty will break through the Luo Tian Formation.
At that time, the entire Great Luo Heaven will be engulfed in war.
You need help, and I am here to help you.
Su Mu spoke with righteous indignation and stern words.
Even the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect felt it was true.
Does the Great Luo Heaven, a place that can trap multiple Dao Realm experts from the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect, really need help?
Previously, Ye Tongxuan had only said that Da Luo Tian did not want to go to war with the Da Qian Dynasty. It was not that they could not defeat the Da Qian Dynasty, but that they did not want casualties.
But from Su Mu's perspective, it sounded like the Great Luo Heaven couldn't handle the Great Qian Dynasty and needed Su Mu's help.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect once again witnessed Su Mu's ability to manipulate events at will.
Even he might not be able to make a lie sound so dignified.
They clearly wanted to gain something from Da Luo Tian, but now they've become the ones helping Da Luo Tian.
It's just a matter of whether Da Luo Tian will accept Su Mu's explanation.
Anyway, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect felt that if it were him, he would definitely accept it.
"You can help us? As far as I know, the Great Qian Dynasty is the most powerful force in the Great Thousand World. Almost no one can rival it. Even if there is one, it's the Yanfu Sect. What is your background? What makes you think you can rival the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"I am the Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, and I ask in a deep voice."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect's lips twitched. He wasn't afraid of you asking questions; he was afraid you wouldn't have any.
As long as you ask, Su Mu will definitely make you feel that they really have the ability.
"Why? Because of this."
A smile appeared on Su Mu's lips.
He turned around, pointed, and whispered a command.
"Heaven and Earth, clear the way."
Before the words were finished, a crack suddenly appeared on the Luo Tian Grand Array.
It's like the sea suddenly parting to make way for a path in a vast ocean.
A path also appeared on the Luo Tian Grand Formation, connecting the inside and outside.
They even saw the astonished expressions on the faces of the powerful figures from the Great Qian Dynasty outside the great formation.
Just as the Zhang family Dao Realm expert from the Great Qian Dynasty roared and rushed towards the passage, Su Mu flicked his sword, and the passage instantly closed.
The Luo Tian Grand Array once again separated the Great Luo Tian and the Great Thousand Worlds.
The Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, was filled with shock, and his finger pointing at Su Mu trembled slightly.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect was also stunned.
He thought Su Mu would persuade the Northern Heavenly King with his silver tongue, but he didn't expect Su Mu to persuade him in this way.
This is real, genuine strength.
Su Mu was actually able to open a passage on the Luo Tian Grand Array?
Just how far did he calculate the Luo Tian Grand Array?
Even the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect felt that Su Mu was unfathomable, let alone the Zhenbei Heavenly King Yang You.
The way he looked at Su Mu was as if he were looking at a devil.
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"The Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, roared."
"Nothing is impossible in this world; only those who can't get things done talk about impossibilities."
Su Mu said calmly, "King Yang, if I wish, I can send the army of the Great Qian Dynasty to the Great Luo Heaven at any time."
Even if the Great Luo Heaven could contend with the Great Qian Dynasty, it would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Are you threatening me?
The Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, frowned and said coldly.
"This is not a threat, it's a fact."
Su Mu shook his head and said, "I could have cooperated with the Great Qian Dynasty. With my abilities, I could have been ennobled and appointed as a high-ranking official in the Great Qian Dynasty, enjoying wealth and honor."
Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, remained silent.
He had to admit that.
After all, he knew perfectly well what it meant to be able to break through the Luo Tian Grand Formation.
To be honest, if he hadn't been completely baffled as to how the other party had done it, he would have wanted to strike immediately and kill Su Mu right there.
The Great Luo Heaven will absolutely not allow the existence of an outsider capable of breaking the Luo Heaven Formation!
"However, I don't like the style of the Great Qian Dynasty, so I would rather choose to cooperate with your Great Luo Heaven."
Su Mu continued, "Of course, I know there are risks involved. King Yang, you're probably thinking about how to kill me right now, aren't you?"
I advise you not to make a move, because the consequences of failing to kill me will be severe, severe enough that even your Great Luo Heaven cannot bear them.
Su Mu's tone was nonchalant, but to Yang You, the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Did the other party already sense his intention to kill Su Mu the moment he had the thought?
If someone else said such a thing, even if the other party was a Dao Realm expert, Yang You would treat it as nonsense.
After all, this is the Great Luo Heaven. With the power of the Great Luo Heaven, killing a Dao Extreme Realm expert is not difficult.
But this person on the other side is no ordinary Dao Realm expert.
The opponent was able to break through the Luo Tian Formation!
Yang You has no way of knowing what the other party is capable of.
If the opponent were to actually destroy the Luo Tian Grand Formation, the consequences would indeed be beyond what the Great Luo Tian could bear.
This Luo Tian Grand Array was set up by countless generations of people in the Great Luo Tian over countless hours. Once it is destroyed, the entire Great Luo Tian will be laid bare before the Great Thousand World.
"So, let's issue a notification."
Su Mu said calmly, "Since you can't decide whether or not you should take us to see the Eternal Heaven, then let the Eternal Heaven decide."
Go and inform him that I, Su Mu, wish to see him.
Su Mu waved his hand as if he were the guest in charge.
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You paused for a moment, then silently turned and entered the golden hall.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect was dumbfounded.
As expected of Su Mu, he can do these unexpected things no matter where he is.
"Wouldn't it cause trouble if they knew you could break the Luo Tian Grand Formation?"
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said in a low voice, his tone tinged with worry, "If I were them, my first reaction would probably be to kill them to silence them."
“If the Eternal Heaven were smart enough, it wouldn’t have done that,” Su Mu said calmly.
"I'm afraid he's not that smart."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect smiled wryly.
How could someone tolerate someone living if they could threaten the very foundation of their society?
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect has absolutely no idea what Su Mu's trump card is.
"Isn't there still you here?"
Su Mu said calmly, "If they really want to kill me to cover it up, you hold them off, and I'll take the opportunity to escape."
Grand Elder of Yokoyama Sect: "..."
"I have no problem covering your retreat, but I don't know how strong the Eternal Heaven is, and I may not be able to buy you much time."
"The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said helplessly."
Just that Zhenbei Heavenly King Yang You alone had an aura far superior to his.
Even if the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect risked his life, he wouldn't dare say that he could definitely cover Su Mu's retreat.
You should know that he was just stunned by that upside-down mountain peak, and it was Su Mu who woke him up.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect still had some self-awareness.
The only thing he can really boast about right now is his fearlessness.
But risking his life doesn't mean he's strong enough.
The opponent Su Mu chose was none other than the mysterious and unpredictable Changshengtian of the Great Luo Heaven, who was the ruler of the Great Luo Heaven.
Instead of worrying about these things, you should try to contact Huang Chao, the sect leader of Hengshan Sect.
Su Mu said softly.
"metropolitan?"
The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect whispered, "The Sect Master has a life-or-death bond with Emperor Qian. It's unlikely that he would betray the Great Qian Dynasty."
The reason why the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect would place his bet on Su Mu is because the fate of the sect leader Huang Chao is unknown, and he himself is nearing the end of his lifespan. That is why he chose Su Mu.
It was only after a series of events that the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect was completely convinced of Su Mu's abilities.
He didn't care whether the Hengshan Sect supported the Daqian Dynasty or the Daxuan Dynasty, but the sect leader Huang Chao was different.
Huang Chao was one of the Nine Extremes of the Great Qian Dynasty and a staunch supporter of the dynasty.
If the sect leader Huang Chao were still alive, the Hengshan Sect would never have betrayed the Great Qian Dynasty.
The matter that the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect had always been unwilling to consider has now been brought to light by Su Mu.
Previously, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect had always believed that the sect leader Huang Chao might have died in the Great Luo Heaven.
But now, he has to face one thing: what if the sect leader Huang Chao is still alive?
Clearly, Su Mu had also considered this issue, which is why he suggested that Su Mu contact the sect leader.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect knew that it was time to make a choice.
"The person I'm about to face may be the strongest opponent I've ever encountered in my life, so I have to make sure that the person standing by my side is my true friend."
Su Mu said slowly, "Elder, there's no need to worry about the Three-Life Flower. It's just my reward for your past actions, and it has nothing to do with the future."
"Yesterday's deaths are many, today's lives are many."
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, “I have devoted my entire life to Hengshan Sect, and now it is time for me to live for myself.”
I don't owe Yokoyama anything, but I owe you my life.
If the sect leader is not dead, then I will return the Hengshan Sect to him and we will part ways amicably.
"If the sect leader dies, then the Hengshan Sect will remain as before, at your beck and call."
Su Mu smiled faintly, as if he already knew the answer from the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.
"In that case, let's meet this legendary Eternal Heaven together."
Su Mu said calmly.
The two stood in front of the golden palace and waited for a full half hour when a group of people suddenly emerged from the palace.
Those lined up on both sides, each person holding a long spear, exuded an imposing aura.
The Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, reappeared before the two.
He held a token in his hand and threw it towards the direction of the Luo Tian Grand Formation.
In an instant.
The token transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon and entered the Luo Tian Grand Array.
A moment later, the five-clawed golden dragon reappeared.
It released its claws, and a person fell from the sky—it was none other than Ye Tongxuan.
"You two—"
Ye Tongxuan spotted Su Mu and the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect at a glance. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice behind him.
"The Eternal Heaven has agreed to see them. Ye Tongxuan, you did a good job this time."
"It is the Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, who spoke."
Ye Tongxuan turned around abruptly and discovered that Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You was standing behind him, along with the welcoming procession at the entrance of the golden palace.
He couldn't help but turn around and glance at Su Mu.
What exactly did Su Mu do during his time in the Luo Tian Formation?
Why is the Heavenly King of Zhenbei, Yang You, being so polite?
Moreover, the Eternal Heaven agreed to meet them!
"I--"
Ye Tongxuan wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
“I already know everything. You have done well. The Eternal Heaven will reward you in the future.”
"Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You said, his gaze falling on Su Mu and the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect.
"Please, gentlemen."
He casually pointed in the direction of the golden palace.
Su Mu smiled faintly and stepped forward.
As he passed by Ye Tongxuan, he casually patted Ye Tongxuan on the shoulder, adopting the attitude of an elder encouraging a younger person, leaving Ye Tongxuan completely bewildered.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Tongxuan gritted his teeth and followed.
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You glanced at Ye Tongxuan, and considering that Ye Tongxuan was the one who had facilitated this matter, he did not stop him.
Su Mu walked through the queue, feeling the powerful aura emanating from those people, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
Is this a demonstration, or a show of force?
Are a group of Dao Origin Realm experts only fit to line up and welcome guests in the Great Luo Heaven?
"This is the gateway to my Great Luo Heaven. The only way to enter the Great Luo Heaven is through the teleportation array of the Four Directions Golden Hall."
The Four Heavenly Kings of the Great Luo Heaven guard the Four Directions Golden Palace, making it impossible for ordinary people to pass through.
Those Dao Realm experts from the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect who previously trespassed into the Great Luo Heaven were all thrown into the void turbulence by us; they're lucky to have survived."
The Heavenly King of the North said disdainfully, pointing to the back of the Golden Palace.
All that could be seen were the golden palace and the upside-down mountain peak, surrounded by chaotic void currents.
Such a spectacular sight was something that even Su Mu and the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect had never seen before, and they watched with great interest.
No wonder the Dao Realm experts from the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect disappeared after entering the Great Luo Heaven; it turns out the Great Luo Heaven has so many layers of defense.
Even if you manage to get through the Luo Tian Formation, you still have to get through the Four Golden Halls.
If you don't know the path and directly cross the Four Directions Golden Hall, you will fall into the void turbulence.
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect felt a chill of fear. When he first saw this solitary golden palace, he thought, "Why don't we just fly over there without going through the palace?"
Now he realized that the upside-down mountain peak, surrounded by turbulent void currents, was a natural barrier.
"This upside-down mountain is the real Great Luo Heaven. It has nine levels. The higher you go, the larger the area becomes, the richer the resources become, and the more conducive it is to cultivation."
"We, the people of Great Luo Heaven, all ascend from the lowest level upwards; the higher our cultivation, the higher the level we reside in."
Yang You pointed to the Upside-Down Mountain and said, "As for the Eternal Heaven, he lives outside the Upside-Down Mountain."
If you want to see him, you either need to use the teleportation array in the Four Directions Golden Hall to go directly to his residence in the Eternal Heaven.
Alternatively, one could climb to the highest point of the Upside-Down Mountain, pray sincerely, and then be summoned by the Eternal Heaven.
Su Mu looked out the window of the Golden Hall at the inverted mountain in the distance and was secretly amazed.
It appears that the lower level has the smallest space, yet it houses the most people, while the upper level has the largest space, but it is inhabited by a small number of top-tier experts.
The structure of this Great Luo Heaven is quite interesting.
His gaze moved upwards, and above the Upside-Down Mountain was a cloud of mist, making it impossible to tell whether there were other places.
This Eternal Heaven is indeed quite mysterious.
“From here, the Upside-Down Mountain looks small, but it is actually very large. Even at the lowest level, it can withstand a range of millions of miles.”
Because of the existence of void turbulence, its distance from us is unknown, which is why it appears so small.
"I am the Heavenly King of the North, Yang You, speaking coldly."
"Let's go, don't keep the Eternal Heaven waiting."
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You walked to the center of the golden hall, waved his hand, and light shone from the ground.
A teleportation array appeared before everyone's eyes.
Zhenbei Tianwang Yang You was the first to walk to the center of the formation, beckoning Su Mu and the others to stand on it. He then formed a hand seal, and a pillar of light rose up, after which the group vanished instantly. (End of Chapter)
