Top Emperor of Martial Arts

"It's already very impressive. Look at you. Do you know that in the past years, Heavenly Stele Master... There was no sign of an Eighth Grade Venerable One at all, not the peak of the Zun Qi layer. You don't need to ask about the Heavenly Stele. A Seventh Grade Venerable One had already exchanged blows with four Heavenly Stele Master. Although the battle with Li Hong wasn't as good as the previous one... He even killed his younger brother in front of him. Such a battle record is already very beautiful. "    

Chu Yan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.    

Ancestor Xiahou rolled his eyes. "I really don't know how you cultivate. When you left the Ancient Fey... I thought that you might not be able to participate in this year's Heavenly Stele competition. Even if you participated, you would at most be able to get around a hundred. I wanted you to snatch the Heavenly Stele from three years later, but I didn't expect that this year... You've improved so much."    

"Waiting for three years? Too long, I don't want to wait. " Chu Yan smiled and shook his head.    

"What do you know? Do you know what kind of secrets are hidden within the Heavenly Stele? It can change your talent by seizing the Heavenly Stele. After comprehending it, your cultivation speed after becoming a Sovereign will be extremely fast. Otherwise, why do you think that Heavenly Stele Master is still unwilling to become a Sovereign and wants to fight for the Heavenly Stele again?" Ancestor Xiahou glared at Chu Yan.    

Of course, Ancestor Xiahou didn't understand. Up until now, Chu Yan had only cultivated for less than six years, less than seven years. But to make him wait for three years just for the Heavenly Stele, it was equivalent to half of his cultivation path. To him, it was really too long.    

"But since that's the case, you still need to work hard this year. A Venerable One level seven, wanting to snatch the Heavenly Stele is just wishful thinking." Ancestor Xiahou said.    

Chu Yan nodded his head solemnly. Although he was proud, he wasn't arrogant. The Heavenly Stele wasn't the Grand War from back then. At the end of the battle, it was impossible to kill someone with a higher cultivation base, let alone the battle for the Heavenly Stele.    

The fact that he was given the title of Heavenly Stele meant that he was invincible under the Sovereign realm. He had fought with Li Hong and Mu Aotian before, and his opponent was very strong. Furthermore, Chu Yan knew that his opponent hadn't even used his full strength yet. Because he still had a trump card.    

These trump cards would probably only be revealed during the battle for the Heavenly Stele.    

"I have already reached an agreement with all the elders of the Xiahou Clan. As long as you can seize a Heavenly Stele, the Xiahou line will follow you and revive the Dust together with you. However, Chu Yan, this path is very difficult, and there is a long way to go. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not expose the fact that you possess the heaven-shaking inheritance." Ancestor Xiahou warned.    

"I'm afraid, it will be a little difficult." Chu Yan smiled bitterly. "Four Divine Forces, you already know that I am the Sky Trembling Inheritance."    

"You don't have to worry about that. Even if the Four Gods knew about it, you just need to be careful. The Four Gods have been staying in the remote Star Field for the sake of the Mystery of Sky Shaking. He only knows how to attack you in secret... However, he might not spread this news out. It won't do them any good either." Ancestor Xiahou said with a smile.    

Chu Yan nodded. He hesitated and suddenly asked, "Senior, do you know Qian Mengyu?"    

"Qian Mengyu?" Ancestor Xiahou's old face turned serious. "Why did you ask her?"    

"She is the mother of a friend of mine. My friend has been investigating the cause of Qian Mengyu's death, Senior, all those years ago."    

Ancestor Xiahou trembled, as if he had thought of something terrifying. He said to Chu Yan seriously, "Kid, this matter is very big. This isn't something you can come into contact with right now, but there is one thing you can remember. Qian Mengyu's death has something to do with the Celestial Emperor Sect. However, no one knew who the mastermind was. In short, you won't be conferred the title of Emperor. You must not interfere, or else you will be met with disaster."    

Chu Yan was surprised to see Ancestor Xiahou being so serious. Could it be that Qian Mengyu's death was really as the rumors said? It was the Celestial Emperor Sect's dictatorship. It was afraid that Qian Mengyu would grow and threaten the status of the Celestial Emperor Sect, so it tried to assassinate her in secret.    

If that was really the case, it was not hard to rule out the reason why Heavenly Stele Master only appeared once every three years. However, other than the Celestial Emperor Sect, after Heavenly Stele Master reached a certain height, he either joined the Celestial Emperor Sect or disappeared into thin air.    

"Alright, you can go and cultivate now. Try to step into the eighth level of the Venerable One before the Heavenly Stele competition begins. It was difficult to revive the Dust. It is as difficult as the clear sky. Therefore, remember not to expose yourself too early. " Ancestor Xiahou harrumphed and waved his hand, signaling Chu Yan to leave.    

Chu Yan was stunned and looked at Ancestor Xiahou strangely. "Senior called me here to ask about my realm, and he just let me go?"    

"What else do you want?" Ancestor Xiahou looked at Chu Yan and said angrily.    

"Well, I think you are a great monarch after all. You can be considered Senior. When the younger generation comes to visit you, they will always give you some gifts. No, I never thought that Great monarch would have someone as shameless as Senior. " Chu Yan touched his chin and said with a smile.    

"Stinking brat, how dare you call me shameless!" Ancestor Xiahou was so angry that he stared at him, but then he smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. You have inherited Heaven Shaking Lord's other abilities. I don't know how many times you have inherited Heaven Shaking Lord's abilities. This level of shamelessness is quite similar. Since you want benefits, I will give you benefits. "    

After saying that, Ancestor Xiahou took out a three foot long divine brush and said, "Grade 7 Divine Weapon, shuttle brush. This brush does not possess any offensive power. However, by circulating the Primordial Energy, it can shuttle through the void. If you encounter any danger, you can use it to save your life."    

"Thank you, Senior!" Chu Yan stretched out his hand and accepted the divine brush. After that, he grinned and turned around to leave.    

Ancestor Xiahou looked at Chu Yan's background and was speechless. "This Bastard kid!"    

But then he smiled with relief. "Ten thousand years, how many people have been waiting for the Chosen One? Will this person become the real Chosen One? Will he rebel against the Heavenly Emperor and revive our Dust? "    

Ancestor Xiahou couldn't help but feel a little anticipation, but he wasn't in a hurry. Just like what he said, reviving the Dust. It wasn't something that could happen overnight. The current Chu Yan... In the end, he was still too weak, even if he had seized the Heavenly Stele. However, to the true Overlord's forces... Any one of them, Overlord... He would be crushed to death with just a wave of his hand.    

Chu Yan also understood this principle. In order to revive the Dust, he must first become stronger. The competition for the Heavenly Stele this time was only a preparation for him to make a name for himself. Only by making a name for himself and letting the six domains see his talent would he be able to call upon the Heaven Shaking Branch and have the qualifications to establish his own power.    

However, if he wanted to fight against the true Overlord, he had to become stronger. Emperor was just a threshold, Monarch. Not necessarily a limit.    

——    

The competition for the Heavenly Stele came from all six regions.    

Close to the end of the year, the number of people in the Heavenly Emperor Star Domain increased, and the streets were packed with people. Right now, there was no lack of Chosen here.    

There were only seven days left until the end of the year. People were rushing towards the Heavenly Stele Secret Realm one after another. It was an ancient mountain surrounded by mountains. It was like a giant dragon lying on the ground, filled with a sacred aura.    

There were rumors that a giant Heavenly Stele had descended from the sky to the six regions. It smashed into the valley. It was split into sixteen parts. The Sixteen Heavenly Stele represented Heavenly Fortune. Anyone who could seize Heavenly Stele Master would be able to pry into a part of the Heavenly Fortune. After becoming a mighty figure, from now on... The competition for the Heavenly Stele in the six regions was held once every three years. Countless Chosen from the six territories would come and fight for it.    

The competition for the Heavenly Stele represented a part of the world. If one could become Heavenly Stele Master, he would be the center of attention, and would be given the title of invincible under the Emperor Realm. Once he became an Emperor in the future, he would become a dragon overnight, soaring into the nine heavens.    

The fight for the Heavenly Stele was not only open to Overlord's forces, but to the world. As long as one believed that they had the ability, they would be able to participate in it.    

Of course, the competition for the Heavenly Stele was also extremely dangerous. Once one entered the Heavenly Stele, life and death would be decided by the Heaven's Will. Therefore, the competition for the Heavenly Stele had two names. One was the place where the geniuses were born, and the other was the place where the geniuses' bones were buried.    

Every three years, sixteen Heavenly Stele Master would walk out from within. However, how many geniuses would be buried in this place, forever sleeping?    

Right now, outside the Heavenly Stele Mountain, there was a handsome young man who was around twenty-five years old. He was not outstanding among the crowd, and was with him. There were also a few young men and women whose strengths were quite outstanding.    

When the young man saw the magnificent scene around him, his heart couldn't help but be moved. "So many people. Is this the competition for the Heavenly Stele? It's actually this terrifying?"    

"Haha, of course! The fight for the Heavenly Stele! Once every three years, how many geniuses were grinding their swords? Three years, all for today's battle to become famous in the six regions. Many people can even use this opportunity to join Overlord's faction." Beside the youth, a man laughed heartily.    

"Indeed. I'm afraid that such a magnificent feat will never be seen in Dust. To think that an ignorant person would dare to call himself Monster back in Dust. Comparing them now is truly ridiculous." The young man said. He was also laughing at himself, and his eyes were filled with excitement.    

"Of course we can't compare with them. All the geniuses of the six domains have gathered here. The vastness of the Six Domains Star River is something that your despicable star can compare with. Zhiyi. Since you have married into the Han family, you must cultivate well. To expand your horizons, don't remember that despicable place of yours. Otherwise, it will only make you even more lowly. With your current strength... I'm afraid that you can already be called a king in that despicable star." The man said with a bit of education.    

The young man nodded and agreed with him, "Dust is too small."    

"Zhiyi, you have to work hard this year. Although you can't seize a Heavenly Stele, if your performance is outstanding and is valued by Overlord, you will have a bright future ahead of you." There was a girl holding Luan Zhiyi's arm, and they were very lovey-dovey.    

The young man was Luan Zhiyi. He had walked out of the Dust and had gone to the Oriental Divine Altar. However, he had been angered by the death of the Gusu City during the battle. Later, he was hidden by the Oriental Divine Altar, so he left alone and went to the Cyan Star Domain to train and cultivate.    

In the Cyan Star Domain, he met Han Xin, and the two of them became lovers. When the Han family saw that his talent was not bad, they also accepted him. Now, he was the son-in-law of the Han family.    

The Han family was also very famous in the Cyan Star Domain. Although it was not as good as the meteorite pavilion and the Mu family, it was still considered a big family.    

"I wonder if he will come." Luan Zhiyi thought in his heart, but after a moment, he shook his head with a mocking expression. "I think he won't be able to come to such a noble place."    

At this moment, Luan Zhiyi's eyes focused. He saw Chu Yan in the distance, which made him frown. Did he really come?
