Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1265 - 562: Origin of the Supreme Treasure, Peacock’s Return

Chapter 1265: Chapter 562: Origin of the Supreme Treasure, Peacock’s Return

In the Jiushan Realm, Water Mother followed Mu Qingyan into the Ziwei Yuan Grand Hall.

The Heavenly Emperor Body and Zhang were already waiting there. As they watched Water Mother cross the threshold, a contemplative look appeared in their eyes.

Mu Qingyan was unsure of what was happening, only glancing around nervously.

"Water Mother, I’ll be straightforward," the Heavenly Emperor Body suddenly spoke, "Have you heard of a cultivator named ’Emperor’?"

"Emperor?"

Mu Qingyan mentally repeated the name, finding it quite brief yet strangely commanding.

If it belonged to a minor figure, the name might be considered a joke.

But for a cultivator respected by both Master and Zhang Taishang, how could such an individual be insignificant?

She turned to Water Mother and noticed a slight change in her expression before she spoke, after a long silence, "I’ve heard of him."

The Heavenly Emperor Body leaned forward slightly, looking seriously at Water Mother, "Please tell us more about this Emperor."

To be honest, Zheng Fa was feeling a bit anxious.

The Six Saints’ killing of the Emperor was just a fleeting shadow, seemingly having dissipated. The problem was, Zheng Fa was worried that there might still be something inside the All Heaven Stars Formation.

If he acted recklessly and another Saint emerged from within, whom could he complain to?

He hadn’t yet figured out the source of the conflict between the Six Saints and the Emperor, but from the perspective of the Nine Luminaries Heaven, he felt a certain affinity with the Six Saints, especially Nuwa—after all, she was the mother goddess of the Human Clan, unlikely to act against a human Saint unless absolutely necessary.

Hence, regardless of what Water Mother was hiding, the Heavenly Emperor Body could not ignore it.

Water Mother’s expression changed repeatedly; she glanced at Mu Qingyan and saw her anxious face before sighing and saying, "Regarding Emperor, I know little."

The Heavenly Emperor Body nodded slightly, insisting, "Even a small piece of information is important to us."

"This Emperor should be a great cultivator of the First Epoch, or perhaps the supreme being of the First Epoch."

"Supreme being?"

The Heavenly Emperor Body furrowed his brows slightly, looking puzzled.

"What do you think makes one an Emperor?" Water Mother smirked slightly, explaining, "I once collected traces left by the Emperor and found he might have ruled the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, an existence unparalleled."

Zhang’s eyes flashed as she looked at Water Mother, "Why did you collect information about the Emperor?"

"Because the Investiture of the Gods is his legacy."

Water Mother spoke frankly, "The Divine Dao Skill was realized through the Investiture of the Gods. To advance further, I naturally had to start with the Emperor, but unfortunately, the information I could gather was limited, failing at proving the Daluo."

The Heavenly Emperor Body frowned and said, "So, the Emperor cultivated the Divine Dao Skill?"

"That, I don’t know," Water Mother shook her head, "I can only say he certainly used the Divine Dao Skill, even possessing a method to counter its drawbacks."

The meaning is clear: the Emperor later achieved the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, certainly not like Water Mother, who cultivated the Divine Dao Skill and nurtured an Evil God.

"So, Water Mother, you’re unwilling to disclose matters related to the Investiture of the Gods..."

Water Mother shook her head, "The Investiture of the Gods pertains to such an existence; how could I be content? I left it with the Evil Water Mother with the intention of retrieving it later."

The Heavenly Emperor Body fell into deep thought upon hearing these words; Water Mother’s explanation shed light on many matters—like the All Heaven Stars Formation, likely associated with this Emperor, thus Lu Yao couldn’t comprehend the array, while Water Mother could decipher it.

It’s not just Zheng Fa who has special abilities!

"Is the Emperor still alive?"

The Heavenly Emperor Body asked again; this matter now overshadowed the importance of the Investiture of the Gods.

"I don’t know," Water Mother said with a bitter smile, "How could I know the life or death of such a being?"

These words sounded very credible...

"But..."

Water Mother suddenly hesitated.

"What?"

"Since you are unaware of the Emperor’s existence, I naturally won’t elaborate much, but since you do know, there’s a matter you should keep in mind."

Seeing her say this, the Heavenly Emperor Body grew even more curious, listening carefully.

"Much of the information I gathered about the Emperor was obtained within the realm of Leiyin Temple. Even the Investiture of the Gods has some resonance with Leiyin Temple."

"..."

"Specifically why, with the Thunder Sound Buddha present, I dare not investigate deeply, but perhaps Leiyin Temple has some connection with the Emperor."

After hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor Body’s expression grew increasingly grave, like he was recalling many things, yet he said nothing further, simply asking Water Mother, "Is that all?"

"I have told you everything I know," Water Mother said, casting another look at Mu Qingyan, appearing quite helpless.

Mu Qingyan chuckled awkwardly, looking pleased yet somewhat embarrassed.

"In that case, thank you, Water Mother," the Heavenly Emperor Body said with a grateful bow.

Water Mother replied with a smile, "As long as it helps."

With that, she and Mu Qingyan turned away, intending to leave the hall.

Just then, they heard the Heavenly Emperor Body speaking behind them, seemingly lamenting to Zhang, "Now that I think about it, the Evil Water Mother might have gained some benefits from the Investiture of the Gods."

"...Are you saying she possesses the Daluo Origin because of the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Perhaps the Investiture of the Gods triggered some unique legacy within the great array. We might be progressing, while the Evil Water Mother is also advancing, and might refine the Investiture of the Gods first."

Water Mother halted her steps and turned around.

"Water Mother?"

The Heavenly Emperor Body gazed at Water Mother with a questioning expression.

"I suddenly remembered I have additional research on the All Heaven Stars Formation that I haven’t shared with you."
