The anomaly gradually dissipated, leaving behind an incomparably prosperous grand era.
An era several times more prosperous than the Era of Imperial Fall.
The Era of Imperial Fall was the most prosperous era in ancient and modern times, giving birth to three thousand Immortal Emperors.
One can imagine how terrifying this current era will be.
"Old Daoist, the increase in the number of Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors seems disadvantageous to you innate beings. What exactly are you afraid of?"
Mu Changqing looked at the livid old Daoist beside him and asked seriously.
The secrets he knew were too few, even pitifully few.
He needed to understand more about the secrets of the innate, but these secrets were not easy to uncover.
The old Daoist slumped onto the lounge chair, looking dejected, and said helplessly.
"Burial Emperor, you are the only acquired being to have stepped out of the chessboard. My friendship with you is also a gamble, betting that you can achieve an unknown realm in the future."
After a pause, the old Daoist continued sincerely.
"The innate beings spent a great price to nurture Hongmeng Qi Luck and cultivate Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors. The reason for this, this Daoist cannot tell you. This involves great karma, and this Daoist cannot bear it."
"Now, the Heavenly Dao has directly descended nine strands of Hongmeng Qi Luck upon all heavens, representing that it has nine Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors. Coupled with the infinite years, the Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors it secretly nurtured and sealed in unknown places, such actions... are truly unscrupulous, pfft!"
"Who said the Heavenly Dao is ruthless? How could a ruthless being do such a thing? It's an old schemer, *********! (ten thousand words omitted here)"
Mu Changqing couldn't help but chuckle at the old Daoist's outburst.
Then he shook his head, a sense of urgency also rising in his heart.
The Heavenly Dao acting in this manner broke the rules.
It meant that he might be undergoing an extreme transformation and would no longer be as wary of innate beings as before.
Just like himself, after countless eons of slumber and merging with the Burial Heaven Bead, he underwent an extreme transformation.
Mu Changqing looked at his slender, fair hands. He no longer knew how terrifying his full power would be.
Of course, the day he unleashed his full power would be the day all heavens and myriad realms returned to primordial chaos and void.
"Damn it, since they don't play by the rules, neither will this Daoist."
Suddenly, the old Daoist stood up, cursed angrily, and looked at the slightly stunned Mu Changqing, saying.
"Burial Emperor, some matters involve great karma and this Daoist cannot tell you."
"But some matters can be told to you."
Mu Changqing looked at the old Daoist and smiled faintly.
He had waited a long time for this old Daoist to wake up.
The old Daoist looked at Mu Changqing's slightly smug demeanor helplessly.
"Burial Emperor, you can't be unscrupulous. This Daoist dares not say he is the only innate being willing to befriend you, but at least he is the first, right?"
Mu Changqing nodded slightly upon hearing this and said calmly.
"Old man, I know what you mean. You need a partner. I need one now even more than you."
"As an acquired being, once a chess piece of the innate beings, even if I have stepped out of the chessboard, there will definitely be many who are hostile towards me."
"Therefore, cooperation is not impossible."
The two have now truly reached a cooperation on the surface, as for what they are thinking in their hearts, it is unknown.
The old Daoist nodded and threw out the first piece of information about Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors.
"You can roughly guess the importance of Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors to innate beings, but why, after you killed Li Lingyun, did that innate being not choose to descend in person and fight you to the death?"
Mu Changqing gently stroked his chin and replied after pondering seriously.
"Because he couldn't beat me?"
The old Daoist: ...
"Heh heh, I didn't expect the Burial Emperor to joke."
Teasing him, the old Daoist answered seriously.
"That's because Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors are not so easily erased. As long as the Hongmeng Purple Qi remains, the host will not perish."
"It only takes a hundred years, and Li Lingyun will be resurrected again, and his cultivation will likely be even more terrifying, directly bypassing Quasi-Immortal Emperor and entering the Immortal Emperor realm."
Upon hearing this, Mu Changqing was indeed somewhat surprised.
With his methods, he had actually failed to completely erase a mere Quasi-Immortal Emperor, which was hard to believe.
"Don't be dejected. In fact, you just don't know how to deal with Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors. Otherwise, with your abilities, how could you have failed."
Seeing Mu Changqing remain silent, the old Daoist patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Mu Changqing gave the old Daoist a speechless glance and said dismissively.
"Even if he surpasses the Immortal Emperor realm, I will not take him seriously. I can suppress him with a raise of my hand."
The old Daoist was clearly stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and changed the subject.
"As the anomalies in the world change, the day the true bodies of the innate beings awaken and enter the world is not far away."
"We must speed up our progress and cause some trouble. Since neither of us is on the same side, let whatever happens, happen."
The old Daoist had a look of recklessness, coupled with a somewhat lewd smile, making him a complete scoundrel.
Mu Changqing nodded in agreement. Since the Heavenly Dao had not fully awakened yet.
It meant there was still time, so the more destruction they caused, the better.
After all, he was alone and fearless.
Immediately, Mu Changqing changed the topic and looked at the old Daoist with a smile.
"Old man, since we are allies now, can you tell me who your spokesperson is? Don't worry, I'll help you teach him when I have time."
"Heh heh!"
The old Daoist left Mu Changqing with his back. He would never believe Mu Changqing.
Mu Changqing pouted. Both knew that although they were cooperating.
They would still have their own schemes and precautions.
As for why the old Daoist told him the truth about how difficult Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors were to kill.
It was obvious that he wanted to use Mu Changqing's hand to deal with other Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors.
Mu Changqing didn't care. If he encountered a Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritor, he would kill as many as he found, without letting any go.
Of course, Zhang Fanchen was an exception; they were plotting against the Demon Ancestor.
As for whether he could kill them, Mu Changqing naturally had his own plans.
He cultivated the Burial Heaven Great Dao, which buried all things. How could mere Hongmeng Qi Luck inheritors not be destroyed?
"It's getting more and more interesting."
Mu Changqing muttered to himself, his violet eyes piercing through the endless void.
He saw Wei Ji and Nalan Yong obtaining heaven-defying opportunities, their cultivation advancing further, and their Qi Luck also transforming into golden dragons.
Not long after Zhang Fanchen and Yuan Datou left, they began their journey of slaughter and purification.
But what Mu Changqing did not know was that in the endless chaos, a damaged figure was slowly healing, transforming into the appearance of a young man.
The aura around him became more terrifying, and with a flick of his finger, his cultivation broke through the mortal realm and entered the Void Immortal realm, and was increasing rapidly.
Finally, the aura around the young man stabilized at the peak of the True Immortal realm. He slowly opened his deep eyes, and with a hint of confusion, stood up.
Behind him, the golden dragon Qi Luck roared, resounding through billions of miles of chaos.
Then, the golden dragon Qi Luck gradually transformed, and a purple-gold Hongmeng slowly emerged.
Ye Yu's eyes were filled with endless killing intent, and he murmured.
"Nalan Yong, and you... the revenge for the extermination of my clan, I will not rest until I die."
