C4578 The Person in Charge of the Valve
After killing West Jue, Chu Yan turned around and fled.
Nonsense, aren't you going to run and wait to get beaten up?
Although he was confident, he wasn't arrogant. Although he had killed a few Great Sovereigns in a row, there were still close to a hundred of them here. There were also powerful existences like Donghuang among them. He was sure that he wouldn't be able to defeat them by himself.
Furthermore, he had actually heard what Donghuang said. It was obvious that Donghuang wanted to use the help of the other Great Sovereigns to get rid of him.
Who would want to fight with you guys?
Besides, his main purpose for coming here this time was to consume the power of the Time and Space Fruit. Otherwise, it would be too much.
However, during the battle with West Jue just now, he had actually used up almost all of it. What was he doing there if he didn't run?
Donghuang:... ""
The other Great Sovereigns were speechless."
Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never thought that Chu Yan would suddenly play such a trick. He had been so domineering a second ago, but now he had run away a second later?
You are the current Human Emperor. Don't you care about your reputation?
At this moment, one of the Great Sovereigns said in a speechless manner, "Brother Donghuang, this brat has run away. What should we do now? Should we chase after him or what?"
Donghuang narrowed his eyes and shook his head after some hesitation. "There's no rush. Since he left, we'll wait a little longer. Let's see what the Tian family's attitude is like."
The few Great Sovereigns nodded.
At the same time, some of the weaker Great Sovereigns heaved a sigh of relief.
To these weaker Martial Monarchs, they had come here to seek protection. As for the treasures, they had never thought of getting them.
They were quite happy that Chu Yan had escaped. They were a little worried that Donghuang would chase after him.
Of course, in the eyes of these weak Great Sovereigns, if they really chased after Chu Yan, they might be able to kill him. However, if they really pushed Chu Yan to the end, given his character, would he be willing to wait for death?
Of course not.
At that time, Chu Yan might self-detonate and end his Dao. If they could take him away, they, the weak ones, would suffer.
It would be good if they didn't chase after him like this.
At least it would be safe.
Donghuang waved his hand.
Swoosh!
A subordinate flew over. "Master!"
Donghuang said, "Is there any news from the Tian family?"
The subordinate shook his head. "Sir, we haven't been able to contact them."
Donghuang narrowed his eyes and felt inexplicably irritated.
He also didn't understand what the Tian family meant.
"Continue to investigate. Also, lock onto the Nine Great Demon Mountains. Report to me about Chu Yan's news at any time."
"Yes!"
His subordinate left.
...
On Chu Yan's side, he left Donghuang City and flew back to the Nine Great Demon Mountains.
His speed was extremely fast.
The main reason was that he was a little anxious...
Something had happened again!
He had flown out of the Nine Great Demon Mountains quickly because he had been able to hold on after consuming the Space-Time Fruit. He was in a hurry to kill and neutralize the force.
The speed at which he was returning was very fast... It was because he had once again used the power of the other two universes, allowing the Great Heavenly King and the others to draw in the power of the Heaven Lord and the Heaven Smelting Universe.
As a result, the power of the two universes continued to batter against each other, and the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda could no longer hold on and began to shake.
Chu Yan was truly panicking this time.
Although the Time and Space Fruit was able to hold on, it wasn't too fatal.
At most, he could just use a few big moves and use up all his energy.
The reason he came here was mainly because he could not bear to part with the power of the Fruit of Time and Space.
But once the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda loosened and the power of the two great universes rushed down along the Great Dao, he would really be in big trouble!
He would die!
He still remembered the battle with the Nine Battles back then, when he had the Monarch and the others change their Dao. He had built a canal that connected the two Great Cosmoses. At that time, the power of the two Great Cosmoses surged towards him. It was like a flood of ferocious beasts. If it wasn't for the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it at all.
Now that the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda had loosened, how could he not panic?
"No, the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda isn't a long-term solution. Although the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda has temporarily blocked most of the power of the two Great Cosmoses for me, the Great Dao is like water, pervading every nook and cranny. If this continues, even the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda will fall."
The Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda was a treasure. If it was only the Heaven Lord, Chu Yan still had a bit of confidence.
Don't forget that he was still connected to the Heaven Refining Universe.
He did not think that the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda was powerful enough to ignore the power of the Heaven Refining Lord.
"The dam still needs to be built, or something will happen sooner or later. Even if it isn't built, it's the same as me not being able to use the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda. Once the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda leaves my body, I will immediately be destroyed by the power of the other two Great Cosmoses."
Although Chu Yan rarely used the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda, this did not delay the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda's power.
On the contrary, the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda was one of his top trump cards.
Although he still didn't understand the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda's true power, he still couldn't use it.
However, this thing was sturdy.
It was the one with the strongest defensive power amongst all the things Chu Yan knew.
At a critical moment, the Nine Heaven Profound Pagoda could save one's life.
Therefore, he absolutely could not waste it on sealing it up.
"Build a dam!"
At this moment, Chu Yan recalled the sealed door in the Nine Realms.
He had always believed that the sealed doors were created by the spirit of good will to prevent the Heaven Lord from devouring the energy of the Heaven Refining Universe.
But when he connected his own universe with the other two universes, he understood one thing.
No!
If it was really the spirit of the universe who created the seal gate, then he wouldn't have tried to create a core power, but an absolute seal.
But the sealed door wasn't. Although the sealed door had always been separated from the two great universes, the sealed door still had a key.
It was the core power!
Otherwise, the Fourth Emperor, Jidao, and the others would not have broken through the sealed door.
If it had been him, someone would have been stealing his power all along. If he really wanted to create a seal, would he have left it behind for the thief?
Wouldn't that be stupid?
Of course not.
But the sealed door was clearly left behind.
Thus, Chu Yan guessed that the creator of the sealed door was the Heaven Lord.
The reason he created the sealed door was to slow down the surging power of the Heaven Refining Universe.
With the sealed door, he could slowly dilute it.
If he didn't have enough power, he would just open it a little. If he had more power, he would close it.
Chu Yan said in a deep voice, "My body lacks this kind of water valve, not just one, but two. I can isolate the power of the two universes and change it into a controllable one."
As he was thinking, he quickly returned to the Nine Great Demon Mountains.
Bai Qi and the others quickly rose into the air, "Emperor Chu."
Chu Yan nodded. "Alert the surroundings. If any Great Sovereigns approach, inform me immediately. Other than that, don't disturb me for the time being. Old Daoist, follow me."
The old Daoist nodded and followed Chu Yan into the city.
When they reached the city, Chu Yan quickly opened up a sealed space.
Then he went straight to the point and said, "Old Taoist, you also opened the universe. Help me think about it. Is there anything that can block the power of the Great Dao?"
On the way back, he had been thinking about what the sealed door was built for.
The old Taoist was stunned. "Block the Great Path?"
Chu Yan nodded. "Yes, do you remember the sealed door? It is that kind of thing."
The old Daoist had also opened the universe, so he immediately guessed some of the reasons. He said in a low voice, "Is it the power of the other two universes attacking you?"
Chu Yan smiled bitterly and nodded.
He had overestimated himself.
He had been planning the Rainbow Absorption effect to steal power from the two universes.
However, he had forgotten that compared to the Heaven Refining Lord and the Heaven Lord, if one of them was the ocean and the other was the river, he was just a small stream.
No, even a small stream would overestimate him. At most, he could be considered a small puddle.
And it was the one with a very low terrain.
Under such circumstances, if he suddenly connected himself to the rivers, lakes, and seas, the power of the other two universes would pour in inwards and destroy him in an instant.
Although there were still Nine Heaven Profound Pagodas around, it was only temporary.
He had to find a solution before that.
He didn't want to die in the hands of the Tian family and his enemies after working so hard for so long.
The old master was silent for a moment. "To build a watergate in the Great Dao... This isn't simple. The Great Dao itself is void. It won't be easy to stop it."
Chu Yan nodded.
On the way back, he had been thinking about what kind of thing could block this power.
At this time, the old Taoist priest said, "I think you should start with the words of the previous owner if you want to build the gatehouse."
Chu Yan was puzzled and asked, "What?"
The old Taoist priest said, "Humans are the root!"
Chu Yan was stunned. "What do you mean?"
The old Taoist priest said, "As far as we know, the Great Dao is everywhere in the heaven and earth. It is omnipresent. However, there is one thing that can stop him! Chu Yan, do you remember the Heaven Lord's sealed doors? What do they correspond to?"
" Primal Chaos, Ultimate Dao, Imperial Dao... "
The old Daoist nodded. "Yes, do you still remember the history of the Nine Realms' development? It is the Primal Chaos, Ultimate Dao, and Imperial Dao. "
Chu Yan was stunned and fell into silence.
Then he said, "You mean that the Heaven Lord built the Sealing Door by relying on the Four Sovereigns and Extreme Heaven?"
The old Daoist nodded. "I think so. You want to build the sealed door. You need to organize the power in your body and then have a few people control this valve for you! Although the Great Dao is everywhere, people are the carrier of the Great Dao. In this world, only people can resist the impact of the Great Dao. I can't imagine anything else."
Chu Yan was silent. Is that so?
He fell into deep thought.
At this time, Chu Yan suddenly said, "According to what you said, the Heaven Lord's sealed doors... are actually all human?"
The old Daoist nodded. "Very likely. Kid, do you still remember the Chaos Lord and the others?"
Chu Yan was stunned.
It was possible!
The sealed door was actually a person!
Very quickly, he gradually had an idea.
Right!
What he lacked was not a valve, but a person in charge of the valve.2
But he quickly fell silent again.
The old Taoist priest asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? With your situation, there shouldn't be no one, right?"
Chu Yan smiled bitterly.
He really did have people, and there were many of them.
He did not dare to say anything else, but there were too many people in the world who were willing to be his gatekeeper.
However, he couldn't choose as he pleased, because he knew very well what it meant to be the person in charge of the valve.
Once he became the person in charge of the valve... he would have to bear too many things.
Losing freedom, losing the opportunity to cultivate, even giving up on his own path.
Chu Yan fell into silence.
What should he do?
He thought for a while and said, "I'll think about it."
The old Taoist priest did not try to persuade him.
