Chapter 1952 – The Young Man In Blue

The primordial heavenly emperor being in the bridge wasn’t part of Yun Yi’s plans. He was purely trapped here and struggling for survival while in hiding.

Yun Yi’s plots had mostly nothing to do with her father. At most, she used this tattered golden bridge of heaven and earth to suppress the forcefield outside the burial mound. Only then could the “tomb” of the empyrean supreme be revealed to the public.

Everything that the emperor knew now came from when his daughter and the Dao King jointly opened the tomb. Yun Yi took advantage of the opportunity to transmit a small message to her father, updating him on current events and the modern chief worlds.

She was the only one who knew that the primordial heavenly emperor’s lingering will had become a ghost of the bridge. No one else knew, not even the Dao King. One more person being in the know was further risk of the secret being leaked.

Lu Yun’s arrival and transformation of the emperor into an akasha ghost was pure accident. Yun Yi hadn’t factored the young man into any of her plans. His appearance was an unknown and unpredictable factor.

“Then stay here, I’m going to take a look around the burial mound.” Lu Yun nodded at the emperor. “Don’t leave this place no matter what. Fatal danger will surely come for you if you do. It might even implicate Yun Yi or the entire chief worlds.”

The primordial heavenly emperor nodded with a rueful chuckle. It was at this moment that he truly felt behind the times and that he couldn’t keep up.

“This is a piece of Mount Xuanhuang in the world of immortals, it contains immortal dao. You can become part of the World of Immortals if you refine it and the path of immortal ghost dao will be open to you.” Lu Yun handed a piece of ancient bronze to the emperor.

“Mm, I understand.” The emperor put the bronze away.

“Your condition cannot be shared with another,” Lu Yun suddenly said. “You cannot tell anyone that you’ve become an akasha ghost or that you can leave the bridge. No one. Not even Yun Yi.”

“I understand the theory behind it,” the emperor nodded. Secrets could not be shared with a third party—that was an unspoken rule. The number three meant more than just a number in the chief worlds. It was a special number to all of existence.

From dao came one, and one begat two, two gave birth to three, and from three resulted all living things!

A third party learning of a secret meant that all of existence would soon know it.

The scene changed in front of Lu Yun’s eyes as he reappeared on the golden bridge.

“To think that such a powerful existence would be respectful and reserved in front of me… ai,” Lu Yun sighed as he thought of what’d just occurred.

The primordial heavenly emperor had been drawn into an akasha ghost by the Three Brushes of Reincarnation. The brushes were irrevocably tied to the Tome of Life and Death; Lu Yun was the creator of the akasha ghosts. He was the master of the brushes, Master of Darkness, and the Tome of Life and Death.

Therefore, he felt no pressure when facing the emperor in akasha ghost form. Any aura of power that the emperor might have worn was nothing in front of him. In the same vein, the emperor was be definition on weaker footing in front of Lu Yun since his current origins stemmed from the young man. This was true even though he was neither Lu Yun’s subordinate nor written into the Tome of Life and Death.

Lu Yun was the only traveler on the bridge, but the previous loneliness and bleakness had disappeared. Those emotions had come from the primordial heavenly emperor. He’d been alone in the bridge for far too long. He’d subconsciously released his feelings and impacted every being that walked the bridge.

While the emotions still existed, they no longer affected Lu Yun.

“Ah, yes, the endarkened will certainly investigate the bridge. But since the emperor’s lingering will has transformed himself into resentment and imbued the bridge with it, he’ll be able to fool everything that scans it.” Lu Yun abruptly realized that the most dangerous thing on this bridge was most likely the vengeful spirit that was the primordial heavenly emperor.

Splotches of blood colored the bridge as he walked over it. Their death information indicated that their owners were creatures of the darkness that’d made it into the chief worlds. It looked like the emperor had ripped countless endarkened to pieces after setting up the bridge.

The emperor would have to keep up the act, however. He would still have to be a medium of uncontrollable and unbounded resentment.

“It is said that all travel alone on the legendary golden bridge of heaven and earth. How is it that someone walks with me?” came a startled voice from behind Lu Yun.

He turned around to see a young man in long blue robes. Wrapped in a dashing air and eyes looking around energetically, he’d appeared at some unknown point in time.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he looked at Lu Yun with surprise.

“But since you’re here, that means my meditation is at an end.” The young man rose, patted off nonexistent dust, raised cupped fists at Lu Yun, and drifted away.

Lu Yun frowned. The laws of space were chaotic on the bridge, resulting in everyone traveling alone on the structure. Affected by the primordial heavenly emperor’s emotions, they wouldn’t see their traveling companions even if they walked side by side.

It was very strange that he could see someone else.

“Dao brother.” Lu Yun stepped forward with the Boundless Step when he saw the young man leave and caught up to him.

He halted and looked at Lu Yun with a smile. “What knowledge might this junior brother have to impart?”

“I wouldn’t dare, but we do share a destiny given that we’ve met on the bridge,” Lu Yun grinned. “It’s so lonely here, why don’t we travel together?”

“That’s alright, I’m not used to traveling with others.” With another smile, the young man drifted off again.

Lu Yun grinned and deployed the Boundless Step again, catching up after a few steps.

The young man finally considered the situation with a different expression. Even peak grand supremes had to proceed on foot with the bridge and he was using a combat art to travel. There was no high supreme who was his match, but the young man had caught up to him with just a few steps!

A competitive spirit flared and blue light emanated from his body. His footsteps picked up speed and he left Lu Yun in the dust again.

Lu Yun naturally wouldn’t admit defeat and he propelled his death art to new heights, catching up once more.

The two continued the game of cat and mouse on the bridge until they were indecipherable blurs, no one willing to fall behind.

“I know there’s a stunning genius in the chief worlds who defeated a grand supreme with the strength of a high supreme. Might that be you, dao brother?” Lu Yun suddenly asked.

The young man jerked to a halt. “That’s me.”

“I thought so!” Lu Yun brightened.

Miao.

The young man in long blue robes was the genius that Cen Sui had spoken highly of—Miao.
