# Chapter 1560: News of Wuji
On Yao Ye Island, there was a pitch-black place. This place seemed to be submerged in eternal night, unchanging, where only darkness existed forever.
At this moment, a figure flickered, standing upright in this darkness, silent without a word.
"What is it?" From within the darkness, an ethereal voice emerged, impossible to discern where it came from. Here, there was only night.
"In the Qing Di Mountain region, the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress area, news of Wuji Heavenly Emperor has spread!" The figure only spoke when the voice from the darkness asked the question, as if he would have stood there waiting forever if no sound came from the darkness.
"What news?" The voice in the darkness spoke again.
"It is said that traces of Wuji Heavenly Emperor's imperial palace have been found!" The figure spoke once more.
"How have other forces reacted?" The voice in the darkness asked calmly, without any surprise. Since Wuji Heavenly Emperor's imperial palace disappeared before his fall, it would eventually see the light of day again.
"Qin Ling Heavenly Palace has already dispatched disciples to the Nine City Region. The Divine Dao Palace naturally won't fall behind. And the Nine City Region is originally within Qing Di Mountain's sphere of influence, so they certainly won't miss out. However, their advance parties have tacitly agreed not to use Martial Emperor-level power, sending only young cultivators below the Martial Emperor realm to train and search for information."
"Tell Shen Yu to make arrangements. When there is definite news, inform me then!" The voice from the darkness spoke, then fell silent.
"I will see to it immediately, Lord Yao Ye!" The man nodded, then slowly retreated out of the darkness.
Yao Ye Island bordered the Qing Di Mountain region. Within this area, besides the two imperial-level forces of Qing Di Mountain and Yao Ye Island, there were two other imperial-level forces and countless imperial-level forces. The other two imperial-level forces were the ones just mentioned by that figure: Qin Ling Heavenly Palace and Divine Dao Palace!
As for imperial-level forces, apart from these four imperial-level forces, most were locked in conflict with each other. Some forces were rising, others declining, constantly evolving with time in this great world, with very few able to remain eternal.
After news of Wuji Heavenly Emperor's imperial palace spread from the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress region, countless forces went mad, beginning to rush toward that area. Wuji Heavenly Emperor was a peerless overlord-level figure, illustrious for an era. His Wuji Array Dao struck fear into all who heard of it. When Wuji Heavenly Emperor was still a Martial Emperor, his most glorious battle record was using his array dao to obliterate fifty-six Martial Emperor-level experts, eighteen of whom were at the same level as him or even stronger. But without exception, all were annihilated.
After Wuji Heavenly Emperor fell, countless people lamented that a giant had disappeared from the Nine Heavens. At the same time, a frenzy of treasure hunting erupted, because news had spread that Wuji Heavenly Emperor possessed an imperial palace, and he had carved all his life's work into it. Whoever obtained the imperial palace would receive Wuji Heavenly Emperor's inheritance. How could such news fail to shake the entire region?
After news of Wuji spread from the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress region, Qing Di Mountain wanted to seal off the information immediately. But no wall is completely windproof in this world. The surrounding major powers still found out, leading to the conversation in the darkness just now.
At this moment, Lin Feng was once again having his beautiful dream on the cliff. It was indeed a beautiful dream, because a beauty accompanied him in it. Although the demon beasts on Yao Ye Island were all good to him, Meng Qing was a fairy among demons with an extraordinary status. Her foster mother had instructed him several times before, so to be safe, he had always kept Meng Qing cultivating inside the Jade Emperor Palace. Now, they could be together through dreams.
"Lin Feng!" At this moment, Martial Emperor Shen Yu appeared on the cliff, looking at the sleeping Lin Feng and calling out with a smile. This fellow sure loved to sleep. But he had heard that Lin Feng's training over the past year or so had been grueling enough. When that female demon said she would take Lin Feng under her wing, the moment he agreed, he knew Lin Feng would probably be tortured until he shed a layer of skin.
Lin Feng woke from his dream, opened his eyes, and saw Martial Emperor Shen Yu's figure. He couldn't help but smile and call out, "Senior Shen Yu!"
"Lin Feng, I've come to tell you something. I'm afraid you'll need to make another trip to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress region." Martial Emperor Shen Yu said with a smile. Lin Feng's expression tightened slightly, then he nodded and asked, "What is it?"
"In the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress region, news of Wuji Heavenly Emperor has spread. Go there and see if you can find any clues." Martial Emperor Shen Yu said. "Of course, this time you're not just going as yourself, but as a representative of Yao Ye Island. Hold this Yao Ye Token in your hand, and no one will dare touch you!"
With that, Martial Emperor Shen Yu tossed the Yao Ye Token. Lin Feng reached out and caught it. On it were carved the words "Yao Ye." This Yao Ye Token symbolized Yao Ye Island!
"Alright!" Lin Feng nodded in agreement. After such a long time, it was time to go out and move around. He hadn't expected his first trip out would be back to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress region. What a coincidence. Moreover, the news of Wuji Heavenly Emperor stirred something within Lin Feng. He thought of the copper fragment in his hand, which could transform into an imperial palace and immortal mansion on the martial soul's demonic land. Could that be the Wuji Imperial Palace?
"I'll send you to the Qing Di Mountain region first, otherwise it would take you considerable time just to travel there." Martial Emperor Shen Yu said, then his figure flickered. A gale swept through, carrying Lin Feng's body as they whistled away, instantly soaring into the void and speeding forward.
The Qing Di Mountain region was undoubtedly where the news spread most fiercely. All the stronger forces began rushing to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress area. Since Wuji Heavenly Emperor's imperial palace might appear in the world, how could they possibly miss it?
Lin Feng had also arrived in the Qing Di Mountain region by now. Martial Emperor Shen Yu had sent him here and already left. Lin Feng traveled alone, riding his sword through the air, rolling forward as he sped toward the Nine City Region.
The Qing Di Mountain region had many large main cities, but few had forces like the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses. Even when they did, only a handful of forces became the overlords of main cities, just like the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses each occupied one main city. It was rare for nine cities to be adjacent to each other, which of course had to do with the special geographical location of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses.
This time, traveling alone through the void, Lin Feng finally had the chance to carefully experience the scenery of the main cities in this great world. Some main cities were connected to others, while some existed independently, surrounded by wilderness and mountain ranges.
"Almost at the main city of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace!" Lin Feng gazed ahead. Before parting, Martial Emperor Shen Yu had given him a divine map that marked the entire region. That was how Lin Feng knew he was about to reach the main city of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. Once he crossed the main city of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, he would enter that buffer zone, which was exactly Lin Feng's target. Back then, it was in that area that he had obtained the Wuji copper fragment. He wanted to go there first and take a look.
"I can already see Bu Zhou Mountain!" Lin Feng looked into the distance. There, a series of connected mountain ranges rose up, their peaks steep and piercing into the clouds. This was Bu Zhou Mountain outside the main city of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace.
At this moment, on Bu Zhou Mountain, there were quite a few figures hovering in the void.
Lin Feng rode his sword forward and saw two figures confronting each other on Bu Zhou Mountain. One of them wore a purple-golden dragon robe, standing in the void like a heavenly god, inviolable. His cultivation was at the Ninth Layer of the Sovereign Martial Realm, and standing there calmly, he gave off an air of superiority.
The one confronting him was also a young man, but his aura was far inferior to the one in the purple-golden dragon robe. He casually wore a daoist robe, appearing like an ordinary young man. But the purple-golden robed youth opposite him did not dare underestimate him in the slightest.
"Isn't Yao Ye Island moving a bit too slowly?" The purple-golden robed youth spoke.
"Why rush? It will arrive when it's time to arrive. If you can't wait, we can go ahead first." The daoist-robed youth chuckled lightly, appearing carefree and unconcerned.
"I just wanted to see in advance what kind of person Yao Ye Island would send out this time!" The purple-golden robed youth smiled, his gaze sweeping across the void.
"What if he's already arrived but ignores the two of us and just goes ahead?" The daoist-robed youth said casually. But the other shook his head and replied, "Demon beasts are not humans. You know their temperament. If he saw the two of us, how could he not show himself? Forget it, let's not wait for him. We'll go ahead first!"
With that, the purple-golden robed youth's robe fluttered, and his body suddenly shot forward. He had wanted to see in advance what kind of demon Yao Ye Island would send out this time, but since he had waited so long and the person still hadn't come, he would just forget it.
The daoist-robed youth also stepped through the void, each step seemingly containing a mysterious footwork, his speed incredibly fast.
"People from Qin Ling Heavenly Palace and Divine Dao Palace!" Lin Feng thought to himself. Before coming, Martial Emperor Shen Yu had mentioned these two forces to him. He hadn't expected them to be waiting for him on Bu Zhou Mountain. Of course, perhaps neither of them had imagined that this time, the person Yao Ye Island would send out would be a human cultivator!
