Heaven's Devourer

Chapter 1676: In Habitual Mansion

This level of immortal emperor that warranted a personal reception by the Patriarch Bodhi included Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, one of the Three Pure Ones!

He was one of the highest ranked immortals in the whole of the sky palaces, roughly equal to the Patriarch Bodhi himself. Therefore, he was greeted not only by the Patriarch Bodhi, but by all the immortal emperors who had arrived previously.

True Lord Erlang, the Five Directional Divine Emperors, Lotus Prince Nezha, Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing... all of them stood respectfully by.

Wu Yu also had Full Moon of Nanshan and the others hide in the Floating Dreams Pagoda, while he went out to take a look. It was not a bad thing to be exposed to those of such a godly level, whose status far exceeded someone like True Lord Erlang.

Wu Yu walked to the outside of Bodhi’s Palace together with Memory Star Immortal Emperor, following behind Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and the Patriarch Bodhi. Many hostile looks were directed his way.

For example, from the Dhrtarastra. Wu Yu had killed his younger brother Mo Liyin, a grudge that could not be forgiven. If he had not promised the Patriarch Bodhi before, he would probably have started trouble here.

And now, because the Patriarch Bodhi had forced out an acknowledgment from him that all would be forgotten, he was ill-disposed to bring the matter up.

However, the Dhrtarastra found it difficult to quell the murderous feelings in him, when he thought about his brother.

If the chance presented itself, he would definitely not let Wu Yu go. And now, this Immortal Emperor Trials was a possible opportunity.

Wu Yu could of course sense the hostility. However, he ignored it. With the Patriarch Bodhi around, these immortal emperors could not lay a finger on him, not even in secret. The only thing they could do was to attack him during the Immortal Emperor Trials.

They might use certain methods or go especially hard on him, trying to finish him off.

But the immortal kings participating were nothing to Wu Yu. He had even defeated a second tier immortal emperor Mo Liyin. What were these immortal kings?

The only few that he needed to watch were True Lord Erlang’s son Yang Qiang, and Nezha’s son Li Tianji.

These were very formidable opponents, and Wu Yu would not underestimate them.

Of course, he would not get careless fighting others either. He could not afford to pass up this opportunity.

Wu Yu knew that the Patriarch Bodhi intended for him to win this. After the Heavenly Devil Battlefield testing, he had clearly felt the Patriarch Bodhi’s favor, and he could not let him down.

Very quickly, Grand Supreme Elderly Lord descended on a cloud to Bodhi’s Palace with two page boys. He had a saintly aura around him, and smiled warmly as he saw Patriarch Bodhi, laughter in his eyes.

"Bodhi, we meet again."

Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s voice was very kindly, his white clothing and white hair adding to the effect. He looked even more of a nice person than the Patriarch Bodhi.

Wu Yu stared at Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

He had seen this bearded immortal emperor before. The Eternal Emperor Tomb had shown him tearing into innocents back at Demon Immortal Realm, and he had also been one of those who had taken down the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal at Sage’s Equal Sky.

Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, one of the most powerful in the whole of the sky palaces. Right before Wu Yu.

However, Wu Yu could not see this person destroying the Demon Immortal Realm. He seemed a completely different character from the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord who had slain with a terrible cruelty. He spoke in a reedy whisper that was soothing to the ears.

Suddenly, Wu Yu realized something he had not realized before.

During the massacre at Demon Immortal Realm and against the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, he had not seen Patriarch Bodhi.

This revelation gave him a jolt. Perhaps he had simply missed him. He had not been looking out for the Patriarch Bodhi.

In any case, the entirety of the sky palaces had forgotten those incidents. It was paramount that Wu Yu get to the bottom of it.

"It has been a long journey. Forgive me for not escorting you further. Please come in."

The Patriarch Bodhi was also very polite in turn, smiling broadly.

Following Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s entrance, the atmosphere heated up even further. Especially those like True Lord Erlang and the Five Directional Divine Emperors, who hurried up with big smiles to offer their welcome. They were extremely intimidated by his dignified and unassailable position.

Till the end, Wu Yu remained behind the Patriarch Bodhi. Only after the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had finished all of his greetings did he turn to Patriarch Bodhi, casting one eye on Wu Yu. "This is your new disciple, Wu Yu, yes? I have heard tales of him. This child is a moldable talent indeed. Congratulations to the Patriarch for taking in such a talented disciple. A fortune indeed."

Hearing him say this made the Dhrtarastra and the others even more unhappy, although they were unable to say anything to Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s face.

Of course, they felt that Grand Supreme Elderly Lord might simply be saying this out of courtesy.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was such a mighty immortal. How could someone like Wu Yu be worthy of his attention?

The Patriarch Bodhi replied equally easily, with a laugh. "You praise us too much. My unruly disciple immediately committed a great wrong upon being initiated. He was fortunate to be able to come out of Heavenly Devil Battlefield alive, but how he develops from here on will depend on him."

The two were both extremely mighty immortal emperors, and would not pay too much attention to Wu Yu.

Very quickly, the conversation turned to other matters.

Grand Supreme Elderly Lord of course mentioned the other young immortal kings as well.

He gave due praise to True Lord Erlang’s son Yang Qiang and Nezha’s son Li Tianji as well.

However, that Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had first mentioned Wu Yu made True Lord Erlang and Nezha unhappy. Of course, they would not show it, maintaining their simpering expressions.

Neither Yang Qiang nor Li Tianji were here, gone off to goodness knew where. Wu Yu had thought to use this opportunity to size them up.

Instead it was the Lotus Prince Nezha who Wu Yu spent most of his time scrutinizing, as he stood chatting with Pagoda Heavenly King. The father and son had a special air about them. They would not lose to True Lord Erlang. These were all second-tier immortal emperors.

Pagoda Heavenly King was actually a shade stronger, and held a slightly higher position compared to True Lord Erlang.

If his child could also achieve similarly impressive results, he could also rise to a similar position as his father. That was why Yang Jian held high hopes for his son Yang Qiang. Perhaps in a million years, Yang Qiang might also rise to as high a position as him.

At that time, the father and son would definitely rise in influence.

And the first stepping stone to their combined rise was right here, at the Immortal Emperor Trials. If they lost to Li Tianji, then they would lose considerable potential influence to the True Lord Erlang and Pagoda Heavenly King families.

"Li Tianji is the final opponent. Before that, Wu Yu must be eliminated."

True Lord Erlang said, throwing a brief look Wu Yu’s way. He appeared indifferent, but actually was obsessed with it. After all, since Wu Yu could defeat Mo Liyin, then he was at least a second tier immortal emperor in strength.

However, True Lord Erlang had confidence in his own son, and did not need to say much.

After the pleasantries were finished, Wu Yu begged leave of Patriarch Bodhi, and retired first.

The Immortal Emperor Trials would begin in one month, and he had to consolidate all of the Mystiques and techniques he had so far.

Grand Supreme Elderly Lord included, all the immortal emperors stayed at Habitual Mansion in Mettle Sky.

The young immortal kings who were participating would often exchange cultivation insights. After all, this was merely a platform for most of them to get to know each other.

Some had been stalled at the 9-heavens immortal king level for a very long time. It was not easy to rise to eternal immortal emperor realm.

The Everlasting Battlefield was a chance, but it was too difficult to win. Besides, with the godly Yang Qiang and Li Tianji, and even a dark horse Wu Yu thrown into the mix, most had long given up hopes of winning.

They met many powerful immortal emperors this time as well, and the tips that these seniors had given them had helped them out some.

Of course, there were also many young immortal kings who had not given up on the Immortal Emperor Trials so readily.

Within Habitual Mansion.

The Four Heavenly Kings, Mighty Miracle God, and True Lord Erlang were gathered in one hall of Habitual Mansion, deep in discussion.

"Seeing that brat Wu Yu irritates me! And being stuck in an argument with a little gnat shames me as well." Primeval Mighty Miracle God said angrily. He could not let the grudge go, and still wanted to finish Wu Yu off once and for all.

If this continued, Primeval Mighty Miracle God’s pride would be in the dust. He had already heard whispers from other immortal emperors about how he had been outwitted by a kid.

All of this further fueled Mighty Miracle God’s anger.

However, True Lord Erlang said coldly: "We already promised the Patriarch Bodhi to wipe the slate clean with Wu Yu. We cannot pursue the matter, or we will become a laughing stock. Is that what you want?"

Primeval Mighty Miracle God was even angrier to hear that. Could it be that the great Mighty Miracle God could not even deal with a young punk?

Just at this time, a cold and cruel voice rang out: "Since he’s entering the Immortal Emperor Trials, just meet him and kill him. That solves everything, no?"
