Chapter 2078: Chapter 684: Burning the Heavens

However, those worried about the unsealing of Ji Yang’s Tomb were not limited to just Yu Kunlun.

"Your Majesty! I believe the State Preceptor’s concerns are quite reasonable."

Zong Shenhua held the eight-sided Wind Lamp, observing it closely, with his brows furrowed into the shape of the character for ’river’: "I always felt that Ji Yang and Lishan Old Mother retreated too easily, as if they were intentionally yielding it. Even if Your Majesty has the assistance of the Four Ancestor Corpses, it’s still suspicious. Moreover—"

He paused, looking at their feet: "I’m a bit uneasy about this Inverted Yin Yang Array. I’m not doubting the State Preceptor, but after all, this tomb belongs to Ji Yang, who lived here for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s hard to say if she hasn’t left any other arrangements inside the tomb. Plus, this Array itself is based on one reserved by the Luo Han Sect, Your Majesty! We must not underestimate the lessons of the past."

Emperor Jianyuan knew the lesson Zong Shenhua referred to was the past incident where Chu Fengge tampered under their noses, leading to the revival of Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun, which resulted in the decline of Daning Country’s fortune.

There was also Chu Ming, whose painstakingly refined evil corpse was also taken by Chu Xisheng in this way.

This ’Lighting World Demon Lamp’ has already become one of the pillars of Daning and is someone Emperor Jianyuan now trusts considerably.

The key is that what this person said made a lot of sense.

Emperor Jianyuan inexplicably felt restless, and while pondering, he exerted a bit more force as he stroked the Heavenly Gaze, causing the Sky Gazing Hou Clone to let out a dissatisfied neigh.

However, Moon God High Priest Yue Xin’er was unfazed, placing her hands behind her back: "Mr. Zong, are you overestimating Chu Xisheng? Do you truly believe that while Chu Xisheng is opposing the All Gods and the Master of Thousands of Deceptions, he still has the capacity to care for the matters here?"

Zong Shenhua mused that this was precisely what he thought; the Ji Yang’s Tomb might very well be a phase in the confrontation between Chu Xisheng and the Master of Thousands of Deceptions.

How could one be careless against an opponent like Chu Xisheng?

Since the great victory at the Southern Heavenly Extreme, that Human Emperor had risen to become one of the most formidable players in this world.

However, just as Zong Shenhua was about to respond, Emperor Jianyuan suddenly brushed his sleeve with resolve in his eyes: "Mr. Zong, there is no need for further words. Today’s Yin Yang Inversion Array can be left unused, but the seal here must be broken!"

Under the seal, the ’Sky Gazing Hou’ had already sent him intense thoughts.

It wanted to break free from the control of the Xuanhuang Primordial Emperor and regain its freedom.

Emperor Jianyuan pondered that the ’Inverting Yin and Yang’ method could be used as circumstances dictated, deciding whether to employ it based on the situation.

However, when it came to the ’Sky Gazing Hou,’ he was determined to win it!

※※※※

At this moment, thousands of miles away in the imperial capital of Daning Dynasty, Qinhuai County, located in the courtyard of the Imperial Palace, Ji Yang stood upon a grand array, analyzing the current situation to those gathered there.

"——The Sky Gazing Hou and the corpse poison it bears are creations of Extreme Yin. Living creatures infected by its corpse poison mostly become bodies of Yin-poisoned filth.

However, figures like the Drought and Jiang Chen were Demigod-level in their lifetimes. With the support of Dragon Energy, they possess Upper Eternal Level power. At the onset of infection, the marrow blood within their bodies will spontaneously generate Extreme Yang Essence Power to counter the corpse poison. And being of Extreme Yin Cold themselves, the corpse poison undergoes a transformation in this confrontation, transitioning from Extreme Yin to Yang, thus causing their bodies to undergo Yang Transformation.

Therefore, it is not truly an extreme transition from Yin to Yang, but rather a result achieved in conjunction with the corpse poison. Accordingly, in the future, they will almost never be able to accomplish a transition from Extreme Yang to Yin under normal circumstances.

The reason being that at this point, the person is dead, and their body cannot generate any Primordial Qi. They cannot follow the path opened by my grandfather, where the incomplete Inner Heaven and Earth were condensed."

Ji Yang’s gaze was incomparably complex.

As the daughter of the Drought, she was intimately familiar with the situation of the Four Ancestor Corpses.

"So these Ancestor Corpses will inevitably need to alter the Yin Yang nature of the Sky Gazing Hou, thereby changing the nature of their corpses?"

Among them, Lu Chen, known as ’Sword and Dream,’ crossed his arms in front of his chest, shaking his head solemnly: "But this doesn’t make sense, as it still won’t allow them to achieve Yin Yang balance. Additionally, will the All Gods sit back and do nothing? What position do they assume towards the gods themselves? Will the gods simply watch as they alter the nature of the Sky Gazing Hou?"

The Sky Gazing Hou is a weapon crafted by the gathering of bloodline powers from Pangu and Chaos Gods against humans.

But if the Sky Gazing Hou’s Yin Yang nature shifts, altering the corpse poison, it would be akin to reversing the blade aimed at enemies.

This Sky Gazing Hou could utterly become a nightmare for the gods and herald the trumpeting of an apocalypse.

"Naturally, the All Gods will not sit idly by, yet the Yin Yang Gods will be delighted by this, even trying to exert control over the Sky Gazing Hou. The Yin God High Priest’s instigation of Emperor Jianyuan to come here should be driven by the will of the Yin Yang Gods. Both of them desire to control the Sky Gazing Hou. Today is the best opportunity; if they miss today, they’ll have absolutely no chance, and that Yin God High Priest will undoubtedly strive to make it happen. Therefore—"

Lishan Old Mother, wearing a white dress, with elegant demeanor and calm expression, looked at Ji Yang’s Tomb: "We might be able to witness a Divine Battle taking place within this tomb."

Those present exchanged glances one with another.

They all felt a sense of realization within their hearts.

The Sky Gazing Hou, amassing the bloodline powers of Pangu and Chaos Gods, was uniquely devoid of the core bloodlines of Taiyin and Taiyang.

This weapon had little impact on the Yin Yang Gods but could serve as a tool for suppressing the Human and God races.

This must be one of Chu Xisheng’s objectives, using the issue of unsealing Ji Yang’s Tomb to ignite a conflict between the Pangu Gods and the previous Heavenly Emperor and Empress.
