Of course, the world of Immortal Cultivation ultimately respects the strong.
The key still lies in the final battle with the Dharma Transmitter.
As they say, those who know themselves are wise. The Emperor was very aware of his current strength, definitely still significantly behind the Dharma Transmitter.
After all, the opponent had dominated the Xuanhuang World for thousands of years, and had cultivated insights in the depths of the Star Sea.
He could truly be described as unfathomable.
Although the Emperor had now just barely reached the limits of Xuanhuang World, he also had the rare encounter with the Insights of Star Sea’s Origin.
But he had yet to transform that encounter into real strength.
"I need more time,"
An urgent sense inevitably shrouded the Emperor’s heart.
"Time waits for no one."
Before going to the Star Sea, he didn’t have this feeling. But since returning from the Star Sea, a mysterious feeling told him that there might not be much time left for him.
…
Sun Family.
Sun Luyuan channeled his Spiritual Power to ward off the penetrating chill around him and slowly stepped into the room.
Looking at Sun Tianci, who was sitting on his bed in silence, not crying or making noise, just staring blankly, a sense of helplessness surged in his heart.
Every family has its own troubles.
Strangers knew only that Sun Tianci was born with Unity-Path cultivation and was extraordinarily domineering, but they didn’t know that perhaps because he had witnessed his own mother’s death from birth, he had become very cold to outsiders.
A natural aura repelled the extreme cold around him, making it difficult for others to approach him.
Had he not been born with Unity-Path cultivation, he might have starved to death in a matter of days due to the lack of care.
But no matter how extraordinary, he was just a newborn who needed care.
Several members of the Sun Family with Unity-Path cultivation had to take turns caring for him.
"Tianci…" Sun Luyuan revealed a gentle smile and took out the prepared High-grade Spiritual Liquid.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Sun Tianci merely shook his head slightly in refusal.
Sun Luyuan felt a wave of helplessness in his heart.
Then, recalling something, he softly said, "I visited your father recently. He heard of your birth and personally created a method for you. Take a look…"
As he spoke, Sun Luyuan transmitted the Divine Sense of [Stately Righteous Method] created by Li Fan to Sun Tianci.
Hearing that it was his father he had yet to meet and created by his father for him, the ice-sealed atmosphere around Sun Tianci loosened slightly.
Slowly reading through the text of [Stately Righteous Method], he seemed to realize something and closed his eyes.
Sensing that the surroundings were returning to normal, Sun Luyuan was overjoyed.
Even more crucially, the inherent sadness in Sun Tianci seemed to be fading little by little.
"What a Stately Righteous Method!"
"Lu Er really has a way!"
Knowing that the other was in a state of enlightenment, Sun Luyuan didn’t dare to disturb him. He just gently placed the Spiritual Liquid at the side and quietly left.
He also placed a Forbidden Formation on the room to prevent outsiders from disturbing them, then he felt somewhat relieved.
"It’s better for Tianci to be this way. Not leaving the house, disappearing from public view, people will forget about his existence in a few years."
"In this period of great turmoil, our Sun Family should mainly focus on hibernating and conserving strength."
Thinking of this, Sun Luyuan involuntarily remembered the mission given to him by the Holy Dynasty.
Since joining the Holy Dynasty, he had led a very leisurely life. The Holy Dynasty had not issued any mandatory tasks either.
The previous plan to kidnap Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss to the Holy Dynasty for the Emperor’s disciples as a Dao companion had been interrupted due to a sudden commission from Void Abyss and now there was no contact with the other party, forcing him to put it aside temporarily.
This left Sun Luyuan, who always wanted to make achievements and increase his own capital, somewhat frustrated.
This time he finally received a task from the Holy Dynasty, but it was indeed troublesome, constantly unable to find an opportunity to start.
"Dark Prison…" 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
"Isn’t that where they imprison serious criminals? What does the Holy Dynasty want with it?"
Sun Luyuan murmured to himself.
It wasn’t difficult to enter the Dark Prison.
But trying to infiltrate the Dark Prison and maintain contact with the outside world at all times was indeed difficult.
"The Dark Prison in the Immortal Alliance is independently managed, rotating under the governance of Dharma Transmitters. To interfere…"
Although the mission issued by the Holy Dynasty did not specify the consequences of failure, Sun Luyuan knew this was definitely a test by the Holy Dynasty.
Faces flashed through Sun Luyuan’s Spirit Consciousness as he began to think of those who could help him in this matter.
After a long while, he still had no leads.
Habitually, he went to the Underground Secret Chamber.
His brother, Sun Luyao, also known as the Infinite Mirror Spirit, saw his expression and couldn’t help but inquire about the reason.
"Brother, I found some information that might be useful."
Sun Luyuan looked at the information transmitted by his brother, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
"It might work."
"I’ll go try it."
Just as he was about to leave in a rush, he suddenly heard Sun Luyao say, "By the way, brother, you promised to take me out for some fresh air. When can we set off?"
Sun Luyuan paused, responding somewhat vaguely, "Wait a little longer. The Sun Family is still being watched by those people. Taking you out now, similar incidents like last time when we went looking for the fragment and were besieged by Yao Hall Chen Family might happen again."
"Let’s wait until this blows over."
With that, without waiting for Sun Luyao to speak, he hurriedly left.
"Okay, I understand, brother…"
Before leaving, he heard his brother say so.
But the tone seemed a bit strange.
However, Sun Luyuan did not think much of it.
From the insights gleaned through the Tianxuan Mirror, Sun Luyao found out that a major criminal in the Immortal Alliance was about to be sent to the Dark Prison.
