Chapter 1709: Nangong Wei Emerges
Wu Yu’s four Mystiques had now been perfected, and he was much stronger than he had expected to be.
His rise from 9-heavens immortal king to eternal immortal emperor was marked by a disproportionate rise in power that far exceeded other immortal emperors by a large margin.
Just through his Omnifire flames or 5 million doppelgangers alone, Wu Yu could easily defeat Zhou Niancang or Lei Tianyuan.
Even those like Li Tianji or Yang Qiang could be dealt with in one punch.
His potential had also extended greatly.
Although he no longer had an immortal spirit or the nine heavenly rule powers, but he was much stronger than he had been before. Such was the difference between a great void immortal king and an eternal immortal emperor.
Besides the gift of eternal life, on par with the world itself, he also had grown greatly in power.
At this level, he mainly relied on apotheosis immortal energy, which determined his strength.
"Just working on these four Mystiques alone has taken 10,000 years! I wonder how Nangong Wei is?"
Wu Yu mused to himself.
The Jambu Realm had again undergone a thorough change. The mountains and rivers, the sects in power, their enemies, all of it was washed down the river of time......
10,000 years - it was uncountable generations for the mortals.
Royals would fall, their dynasties might even be completely wiped out in 10,000 years.
Just as Wu Yu planned to leave, he felt a disturbance that made him pause. He could sense that it was an immortal.
Under ordinary circumstances, what immortal could come to the Jambu Realm?
That was a violation of the heavenly rules and restrictions, unless they were the guardian immortal of the Jambu Realm!
If that was the case, then Wu Yu wanted to know who the guardian was.
Very quickly, the figure appeared. When Wu Yu saw who it was, his jaw dropped. He could not believe his eyes.
Before him was a well-built man, a scraggly beard growing off his sharp facial features. He had fierce dark eyes, and a wild, dominating look to him!
This burly man was very different from how he had been, but Wu Yu recognized him in a heartbeat.
"Imperial General?"
Wu Yu said from the void, not showing himself.
His face was frozen in shock. Once his respected senior, who had sheltered him for a long time. The Imperial General of Yan Huang Imperial City. He was now an immortal - that was joyous news indeed!
Could it be that Imperial General was now the guardian immortal of the Jambu Realm?
Imperial General stared at the land with a gleam in his eye.
But after a brief look, the air stirred again, and he vanished.
"Back to the sky palaces?"
Wu Yu was taken aback. Seemed like he had only come to ascertain that nothing major had happened at Jambu Realm. Besides that, guardian immortals would definitely return back to the sky palaces.
Wu Yu had not spoken to him, but he had no regrets.
"It wouldn’t be difficult to find Imperial General in the sky palaces. But there’s no need for me to go and find him......"
Wu Yu now bore the blood debt of the entire Demon Immortal Realm, and the epic secret of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal and the others all rested on him. Both were fraught with prolific dangers.
Wu Yu did not want to get Imperial General tangled up in that.

"After all these years, I had thought everything was thoroughly changed. To think that Imperial General actually made it."
Wu Yu felt gratified. Imperial General had been one of his most respected ancestors. Seeing him more or less the same had made Wu Yu feel very comforted.
Wu Yu had not been in a good mood before this.
But now a sliver of hope grew within him. Besides the Imperial General, could there be others who had made it to immortalhood as well?
It was not only those who Wu Yu helped who could ascend!
Wu You, Princess You Xue, Su Yanli and the others were still cultivating, but Wu Yu had not taken them with him recently, afraid to entangle them in his dangers.
Wu Yu himself was a rickety dinghy bobbing in the waves of danger, and might capsize at any moment. Let alone Wu You and the others.
"However, I can at least bring them to Mettle Sky where there is peace. With the Patriarch Bodhi protecting them, they will be safer than they would be with me."
Wu Yu decided.
Therefore, he took one final look at the very different Jambu Realm, and then turned, moving through the void.......
7200th level of Heaven.
Mettle Sky.
Wu Yu had been away from Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars for thousands of years, and now he was finally back, freshly glowing with the aura of an eternal immortal emperor. They immediately knew that he had made a breakthrough.
Memory Star Immortal Emperor and the others soon learned of this, and came to congratulate Wu Yu.
Reaching the eternal immortal emperor realm was a great accomplishment.
Wu Yu’s triumphant homecoming spread first within Mettle Sky, and then within the sky palaces and even to the hells.
After all, Wu Yu was a famous name throughout the Heavenly Domain now. He had been embroiled in many major events, and so news of him would always spread like wildfire.
To Wu Yu, there was nothing too bad about being this high-profile. Returning this time, he planned to challenge Nangong Wei again. After all, it had been his first time losing to someone at the same cultivation realm.
Besides, he intended to level some conditions so that he could learn about her miraculous transformation.
It was not just Wu Yu that was very curious about this.
Memory Star Immortal Emperor said: "Regarding her transformation, no one in the phoenix tribe has any news. Some of the elders in the sky palaces went to Immortal Phoenix Imperial Realm to ask, but the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors are being extremely secretive, and staunchly close-lipped about it."
"Mm."
Wu Yu thought about it. If he demanded the truth as his stake of battle, they might not agree to it.
After all, the Immortal Phoenix Imperial Realm must have a reason for guarding this secret this closely.
In that case, he would have to use a different method......
Wu Yu thought about it and ran it past Luo Pin. In the end, she agreed.
Luo Pin too wanted to know what Nangong Wei’s deal was. Why had she exposed Wu Yu at Immortal Dragon Imperial Realm and subjected him to torture at the hands of Mighty Miracle God and the others?
Wu Yu immediately learned that Nangong Wei had not yet emerged from the Everlasting Battlefield.
However, word was that the Patriarch Bodhi had notified the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors, bidding them come to receive her, which indicated that her exodus was imminent.
Had she managed to rise to the immortal emperor realm in these 20,000 years?
News that Wu Yu would soon challenge Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord also spread quickly.
Although he had lost to Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord before, but this time he had returned as an eternal immortal emperor, and faster than Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord as well. Wu Yu’s superhuman talent remained unchanged, unshaken by his single loss.
As for the other competitors such as Li Tianji, they had returned back dejected, locking themselves up in seclusion to grind at their cultivation. They had no idea what was going on.
Of all the immortal kings who had participated in the Immortal Emperor Trials, only Wu Yu had risen to the immortal emperor realm.
And if Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord emerged as an eternal immortal emperor, then they would be the only two!
Throughout the sky palaces, the birth of a new immortal emperor was fairly big news. Two at the same time? And the conflict between Wu Yu and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord left many drooling in anticipation.
There were many immortal emperors planning to visit Mettle Sky for the show.
Finally, not long after Wu Yu returned, the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors arrived. At the same time, Patriarch Bodhi released the Wheel of Taichi.
From within the Everlasting Battlefield, a single black phoenix took flight, etching a trail of black flames across the sky as she soared!
Wu Yu, Luo Pin, Memory Star Immortal Emperor, and the others were all watching.
However, many could sense that Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord had grown much stronger since she entered. Her aura seemed even greater than Wu Yu’s, and the black flames had even the veteran immortal emperors scared!
The Six Superior Phoenix Emperors looked at her with great satisfaction, smiling.
Wu Yu stepped forward, and immediately declared: "Stop right there!"
His appearance made the Six Superior Phoenix Emperors frown.
Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord looked at him coldly. "Defeated one. What do you want?"
