Chapter 1652 Ying Zheng Disappears

Upon arriving at the Netherworld Valley, Naihe raised his hand and activated his Netherworld Origin Power, instantly suppressing the rampaging vengeful spirits in the valley. He used the power of the vengeful spirits to condense the sect's forbidden area, and then used his own Dao Foundation to draw upon the Nine Netherworld Earth Qi to construct the Netherworld Palace. In just one day, he completed the framework of the Netherworld Sect.

He then spread the word that all cultivators from the Upper Realm, whether they were wandering cultivators or outcasts ostracized by various powers, could seek refuge in the Netherworld Sect. The sect would provide cultivation resources, and all they needed to do was abide by the sect rules and pledge allegiance to the Human Emperor's Palace.

In the Upper Realm, there are quite a few cultivators who are ostracized because of their special physical constitution. They are homeless and have nowhere to turn. When they hear that the Netherworld Sect is recruiting disciples, they flock to it.

In just two days, the Netherworld Sect had gathered nearly a thousand disciples. Although their cultivation levels varied, each of them possessed sinister and strange powers and had their own strengths. The name of the Netherworld Sect gradually spread throughout the Central Region and began to take shape.

Sitting upright in the Netherworld Palace, surrounded by the aura of the underworld, he vaguely guessed Song Yu's intentions.

This Netherworld Valley guards the northern outskirts of the Central Region, allowing it to monitor the movements of the four regions and serve as a secret agent and surprise force for the Emperor's Palace.

When the three-day deadline arrived, the plaza of the Temple of Annihilation was already piled high with resources: spirit stones, spirit herbs, ancient Dao crystals, fragments of divine artifacts, and primordial blood essence were all on display. The rich spiritual energy soared into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

Elder Black Dragon and the others stood respectfully to the side, not daring to utter a sound!

Thousands of imperial palace disciples stood in neat rows!

Song Qinghong, dressed in a yellow robe, stood in front of his disciples, his gaze intense!

Behind the Demon Emperor followed the strongest of the four subjugated forces, each bowing their heads and not daring to raise their heads!

However, he was dressed in white, surrounded by a dark aura, and followed by several core disciples of the Netherworld Sect, all with solemn expressions!

Just then, a beam of light pierced through the air, and Song Yu landed steadily on the high platform of the square. His white robes fluttered in the wind, and his gaze swept indifferently over the area below. When he saw the mountains of resources and the gathering of various forces, a faint, almost imperceptible smile finally appeared on his lips!

"The Human Emperor's Palace will be moved to the former site of the Temple of Annihilation. The various prefectures in the Central Region will be guarded by disciples of the Human Emperor's Palace. Submissive forces will pay resources monthly. Those who are in arrears will be killed without mercy!" Song Yu's tone was cold, and his instructions were clear and decisive.

"Furthermore, from this moment on, the Temple of Annihilation shall be completely destroyed, and all disciples of the Temple of Annihilation shall be incorporated into the disciples of my Human Emperor Palace!"

"Anyone who disobeys will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the Human Emperor's Palace!"

"In addition, the former elders of the Temple of Annihilation and other high-ranking figures are now the heads of the Punishment Hall of the Human Emperor's Palace!"

Song Yu originally wanted to make them servants of the Human Emperor Palace, but after thinking about it, he realized that he would eventually have to go to the center of the universe and could not stay in the Upper Realm forever. Moreover, even the strongest people in the Human Emperor Palace were no match for the Supreme Elder of the Temple of Annihilation. If they were not obedient, the Human Emperor Palace would be in big trouble!

"Thank you, sir!"

The elders were finally relieved, and their eyes were full of gratitude as they looked at Song Yu!

They never expected to get such a good deal; the elders are still the elders!

The head of the Criminal Law Hall holds a position equivalent to an elder!

"Demon Emperor, for the time being, you are hereby ordered to take command of the forces that have submitted to the four domains, reorganize the military forces of the four domains, and appoint governors for the four domains. Any unauthorized actions shall be dealt with immediately and reported later. In addition, you shall be responsible for overseeing the submission of resources from the four domains, and there shall be no delays!"

"Alright!" The Demon Emperor nodded and then led the experts from the four regions away.

Song Yu turned his gaze to Naihe and slowly explained, "The main reason I ordered you to establish the Netherworld Sect is to have you monitor the movements of the four regions and immediately send a message if there are any anomalies; also, to become a sword of my Human Emperor Palace!"

Naihe quickly bowed and said, "I will certainly live up to my master's expectations!"

Song Yu waved his hand, reluctantly accepted the order and withdrew, turning back to the Netherworld Valley, with no more doubts in his heart!

Then Song Yu looked at Elder Black Dragon and the others again, his tone icy: "The remaining forces under the Silent Annihilation Temple will all be brought under the command of the Human Emperor's Palace. The five of you will each lead a province in the Central Region to assist the disciples of the Human Emperor's Palace in guarding it. If you dare to have any disloyal thoughts, the Silent Annihilation Temple will serve as a warning!"

The five men trembled and immediately prostrated themselves, kowtowing: "Your subordinates have no disloyal intentions and swear to serve you to the death, sir!"

They knew in their hearts that the Temple of Annihilation was already destroyed, and that being able to return to the Emperor's Palace and survive was already a great blessing!

Song Yu ignored everyone and with a wave of his hand, took all the resources!

Then he went straight into the hall!

"The Upper Realm's resources far exceed expectations, but they are enough to support me and the Demon Emperor in breaking through the cycle of reincarnation!"

Currently, only Song Yu and the Demon Emperor are qualified to enter that level!

As for the others, they are clearly not qualified!

It is believed that the Demon Emperor will soon be able to step into the Dao Immortal Lord realm. At that time, he will go into seclusion with the Demon Emperor for a long period of time!

It could take tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years!

"Father, Ying Zheng... hasn't found you?"

Song Qinghong suddenly walked in from outside the hall.

Song Yu was taken aback. He didn't know that Ying Zheng had come to the Upper Realm, and he was clearly confused by the visit!

"Ying Zheng?"

Song Yu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

"He ascended to the upper realm before you?" Song Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, Ying Zheng is a cultivation fanatic. His cultivation speed is much faster than Zhang Zishi's and mine, so he arrived in the Upper Realm ahead of time!"

"We've searched almost the entire Upper Realm, but we still haven't found any information about him. Perhaps he's not here!"

"Or perhaps there was a problem with the star system, which caused Ying Zheng to be transported to another part of the universe fragments instead of to the upper realm."

This is probably the only explanation.

"Qinghong, you and Zhang Zishi go down and cultivate diligently, striving to break through to the Dao Immortal Realm as soon as possible. Also, go and summon the Demon Emperor, and tell him it's time to break through!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Song Qinghong nodded and left to accept the order.

Seven days later, in the secret chamber, a vast amount of resources surrounded them. Spirit stones burned and turned into a long river of spiritual energy, and spiritual herbs and Dao crystals were all integrated into the spiritual energy!

One after another, incredibly powerful herbs floated in the center of the secret chamber, emitting a gentle Daoist aura that protected the two's Dao foundation.

Song Yu, the Demon Emperor, and the other two sat cross-legged, each circulating their cultivation techniques. A long river of spiritual energy surged into them, and their Dao pressure rose steadily!

Outside the secret room, Zhang Zishi was responsible for guarding the area, ensuring that no one could interfere or cause any potential disturbance!

This seclusion will last at least tens of millions of years, and could very well take hundreds of millions of years, or even billions of years!

Their goal was to break through to the Dao Reincarnation Realm!

The resources required for a Dao Immortal Lord to break through to the Dao Reincarnation stage are immense and completely unimaginable!

Inside the secret chamber, the spiritual energy had already liquefied, and gurgling spiritual springs flowed across the ground. The fragrance of countless burnt spiritual herbs, along with the power of the Dao Crystal's origin, seeped into Song Yu and the Demon Emperor's bodies.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other, their Dao auras completely different. Song Yu's golden light was restrained, and his Dao aura was upright and peaceful, as vast as the beginning of heaven and earth!

The Demon Emperor's black robes fluttered, his demonic energy surging yet not dissipating, condensing into tangible demonic runes that wrapped around his body. His ferocious aura soared into the sky, but it was firmly locked by the secret chamber's restrictions, not leaking out in the slightest!

Song Yu formed a Dao seal with both hands, golden light flowing from his fingertips, drawing in all the surrounding liquid spiritual energy and turning it into a vortex of spiritual energy that surrounded him. The ancient Dao crystals continuously melted in the vortex, turning into the purest Dao power that surged into his body!

He was already at the peak of the Dao Immortal Lord, just one step away from touching the threshold of the Dao Reincarnation. At this moment, with a massive amount of resources piling up, the Dao pressure around him grew stronger day by day, the Dao power in his body began to expand continuously, and the Dao patterns became clearer and clearer, showing signs of resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

Time flies, and millions of years pass in the blink of an eye!

The Upper Realm has long been completely stable, and the people of the Human Emperor's Palace are spread throughout the Five Domains. Under the assistance of Elder Black Dragon and others, the various prefectures and cities in the Central Domain are in good order. The resources that the subjugated forces pay monthly are continuously sent into the Human Emperor's Palace treasury, which is managed by Song Qinghong and piled up like mountains.

Song Qinghong possessed exceptional comprehension, and with the massive resources bestowed upon him by the Human Emperor Palace, he achieved breakthroughs consecutively over a thousand years, progressing from the late stage of the Dao Realm to its peak. His power became increasingly refined, displaying imperial majesty. He handled affairs of the Five Domains with ease, and his disciples were numerous and talented, with many even breaking through to the Supreme Dao Realm and becoming the backbone of the Human Emperor Palace.

Although Zhang Zishi was responsible for protecting the Dharma outside the secret chamber, he also cultivated from time to time during this period, and his cultivation level broke through to the peak of the Dao Realm.

However, he broke through to the level of a half-step Dao Immortal Lord, becoming the third half-step Dao Immortal Lord among their group.

It is believed that once Song Yu and the others emerge from seclusion, Naihe will surely be able to reach the realm of Dao Ancestor.

However, the Netherworld Sect has grown stronger and stronger. The Netherworld Valley has a million disciples, all of whom are elites from the Upper Realm. They are all skilled in stealth assassination, tracking and reconnaissance. No matter what happens in the four regions, they cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Netherworld Sect.

He diligently followed Song Yu's orders, transforming the Netherworld Sect into a sharp sword for the Human Emperor's Palace, secretly eliminating the remaining forces that did not submit to the rule of the Human Emperor's Palace. His methods were ruthless and he never failed. Everyone in the Upper Realm knew that the Human Emperor's Palace had a Netherworld Sect. Its sect leader was Naihe, whose methods were extraordinary and no one dared to provoke him!

Elder Black Dragon and the other four devoted themselves wholeheartedly to assisting the Human Emperor Palace. They knew that the day Song Yu and the Demon Emperor finished their seclusion would be the day the Human Emperor Palace truly dominated the Upper Realm. They dared not slack off in the slightest. The various prefectures were well managed, and the spiritual energy mines and spiritual medicine secret realms were all directly managed by the Human Emperor Palace. The foundation of the Upper Realm became increasingly profound.

The two Supreme Elders presided over the Hall of Punishments, and were impartial and incorruptible. Anyone who violated the rules of the Human Emperor's Palace, regardless of their status, was severely punished. The cultivators of the Upper Realm were all law-abiding and no one dared to break the law.

Over the course of millions of years, Song Qinghong never gave up searching for Ying Zheng's whereabouts. He sent people to various secret realms and desolate lands in the upper realm, and even to explore the spatial rifts at the edge of the four domains.

However, they couldn't detect even the slightest trace of Ying Zheng's presence. In the end, they could only helplessly report that Ying Zheng had most likely encountered spatial turbulence during his ascension and was transported to other fragments deep within the universe.
