Chapter 976: Chapter 61: The Four Young Divine Emperors! (Update 1)

"Indeed, the ninety-ninth layer. However, from the twenty-fourth layer onward, no one has been able to ascend further."

"I wonder, this time, how many layers we will be able to reach in our cultivation."

"The one who ascended to the twenty-fourth layer, was it Be Yan, one of the Four Junior Divine Emperors?"

"Now, he can only be considered one of the Three Junior Divine Emperors, right? One position is vacant after all." someone sighed.

In the midst of Dao Light, Mu Qingge continued to climb, having already passed the thirteenth layer. Meanwhile, those outside Dao Light began to chat idly. It seemed that Mu Qingge had already surpassed the minimum standard, so they relaxed their anxious hearts.

Their conversation shifted from who could reach the highest point within Dao Light to the Four Junior Divine Emperors of the East Divine Land.

The ten of Huan Yue were all present among them. At this moment, they gathered around Li Chao, and upon hearing the discussions, their expressions became somewhat unnatural.

The Four Junior Divine Emperors are renowned as the most likely successors to the Divine Emperor, destined to take over the current throne in the future.

Each Divine Domain has one, and the vacant one now belongs to the Huan Yue Domain.

The Junior Divine Emperor of the Zhong Shan Domain is Be Yan, the Junior Divine Emperor of the Zhuoyu Domain is Yan Lie, the Junior Divine Emperor of the Wei Yi Domain is Qiu Yue, and the Junior Divine Emperor of the Huan Yue Domain is...

"It’s been three thousand years, and the Divine Emperor has yet to mention the matter of the Junior Divine Emperors." Xuan Qiang pursed her lips and said.

Li Chao sighed, "That incident indeed broke the Divine Emperor’s heart. It’s understandable why he hasn’t brought it up."

"I just can’t comprehend why Senior Brother Yu Ya would abandon the light for darkness and flee into the Demon Realm." The Fourth Young Master shook his head slowly and said.

"Be quiet, Fourth!" Li Chao warned.

The Fourth Young Master stiffened and immediately fell silent.

This topic was a taboo in the Huan Yue Domain, a forbidden subject among the disciples of Huan Yue.

However, their silence didn’t mean that disciples of other Divine Domains refrained from discussing it.

The quietness on Huan Yue’s side only made it easier to hear the discussions around them.

"I heard that the former Junior Divine Emperor of the Huan Yue Domain fell from grace and was abandoned by the Divine Clan because he fell in love with a woman from the Demon Clan, eventually entering the Demon Realm."

"I’ve heard about this too. I remember that the Junior Divine Emperor from Huan Yue, named Yu Ya, was said to have exceptional talent and was considered a rival to Be Yan from the Zhong Shan Domain. The Four Junior Divine Emperors were at the peak of their splendor back then. The other three had all entered Dao Light. Be Yan made the best achievement by reaching the twenty-third layer and broke through three levels within half a year after his enlightenment ended. Following him was Yan Lie, the Junior Divine Emperor of the Zhuoyu Domain, who entered the twenty-second layer and also broke through three levels in half a year. Lastly, there was Qiu Yue, the Junior Divine Emperor of the Wei Yi Domain, who only entered the twentieth layer but still broke through three levels. The seniors at the time had high expectations for Yu Ya, eager to see how far his disciples might ascend within Dao Light. Unexpectedly, even before the discourse began, news of his defection to the Demon Clan spread, truly regrettable."

"Hmph! What’s there to regret? In my view, someone so weak-minded, easily swayed by the Demon Clan, isn’t fit to be one of our East Divine Land’s Four Junior Divine Emperors. It’s better he left earlier than later, rather than stabbing us in the back during a future conflict with the Demon Clan."

"Do you think the women of the Demon Clan are really that captivating? Even someone like Yu Ya could be seduced. I’ve heard that Yu Ya was notoriously cold, rarely speaking to others. Even within the Huan Yue Domain, he was aloof towards female disciples, never smiling. Even female disciples from other Divine Domains confessed their admiration and were coldly rejected by him. How could he become so infatuated with a Demon Clan woman, willing to betray the Divine Land?"

"Who can say what truly happened back then? It’s been thousands of years, and whether Yu Ya is still alive is unknown. Why discuss him further?"

"That’s true! But with the Huan Yue Domain remaining silent on the matter of the Junior Divine Emperors for millennia, what will happen when the Huan Yue God Emperor eventually passes away? Won’t the Huan Yue Domain be thrown into chaos?"

"Haha! That’s a long time ahead, who has time to worry about it now?"

The discussions about Yu Ya finally gradually came to an end.

This incident, in the hearts of all disciples of the Huan Yue Domain, was like an unhealable scar. Listening to others’ discussions only brought them heartache, unbearable to endure.

But with Li Chao keeping them in check, they didn’t speak out to stop the discussions. They understood that if they tried to argue, they would likely only spark more debates.

Finally, as the discussions ceased, the disciples of the Huan Yue Domain felt somewhat relieved.

"Look quickly! He has already climbed to the twenty-third layer!"

"It really is the twenty-third layer!"

"That’s the record set by Be Yan back then!"

"He’s standing still, is he unable to climb any further?"

"Hahaha—! Whether he can or can’t, we’ve gained! Absolutely worthwhile!"

"That’s right, that’s right! It’s fortunate that this time, the third young master of Huan Yue prevailed. Had it been someone else, who knows if they could have reached the twenty-third layer."

As the chatter ended, when everyone looked up, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Mu Qingge had, without anyone noticing, climbed to the twenty-third layer. They were overjoyed and looked at Mu Qingge with excitement and tension.

Even Li Chao and Zhuang Shan were taken aback, having previously overlooked Mu Qingge due to the old incident. But now, hearing the exclamations, they realized that Mu Qingge had reached the height Be Yan once achieved.

Only the Steward from the Zhong Shan Domain, who had been watching Mu Qingge all along, was filled with shock. He watched Mu Qingge ascend layer after layer, and her effortless demeanor during the climb made him doubt whether this Dao Light challenge was genuinely difficult.

Wasn’t it supposed to be as hard as reaching the heavens?

Why was she advancing so effortlessly!

As everyone marveled, Mu Qingge ascended to the twenty-fourth layer, shattering the record set by Be Yan!

"The... twenty-fourth layer?"

"Am I seeing things?"

Cries of astonishment erupted outside Dao Light.
