Even though Shen Yuan was involved with Emperor Donghua, this matter was completely ridiculous in its origin.

But it is undeniable that Shen Yuan is indeed the one closest to the position of Emperor Donghua among all the realms.

Even thousands of years ago, Shen Yuan's existence to some extent replaced Emperor Donghua, forcing the emperor who controlled the sun into a deep sleep.

The most important arrangement for the Heavenly Court to rule over all the realms is the Way of Incense and Fire, and the magical power to exorcise gods is the source of the Way of Incense and Fire. It can even be said that without the magical power to exorcise gods, there would be no Heavenly Court to rule over all the realms.

For the Heavenly Court, the importance of the power to drive away gods even exceeds the only great supernatural power of Tiangang in the world. Only by mastering the power to drive away gods can one use it to herd all living beings in the world.

It is precisely because of the existence of this magical power that Emperor Donghua was able to become the emperor with the highest status under the Four Emperors and rule over all the immortals and gods in heaven.

The importance of the ability to exorcise gods to Emperor Donghua even exceeds the position of the Sun Star God.

If it were tens of thousands of years ago, even if Shen Yuan had mastered the ability to exorcise spirits, he would not dare to act recklessly.

The connection between the Xuanhuang Realm and the upper realm has not been severed, and the Heavenly Court still tightly controls everything in the realms. Even though Shen Yuan has the magical power to drive away gods, his own strength is too weak after all. Any immortal sent by the Heavenly Court can suppress Shen Yuan.

And although Emperor Donghua from thousands of years ago was forced into a deep sleep, he was, after all, the supreme emperor who ruled over all the gods and immortals. If he were to become aware of Shen Yuan's existence, he would only need a thought to wipe out Shen Yuan.

Under such circumstances, Shen Yuan could only stare at the mountain of gold and dared not make any move that crossed the line.

But the Xuanhuang Realm is different ten thousand years later.

The Emperor of Dayin cut off the connection between heaven and earth and had been disconnected from the Heavenly Court for ten thousand years. Even if the Heavenly Court wanted to take action, it would be difficult to break the blockade of the connection between heaven and earth.

What's more, during such a long period of time, changes have also occurred in the upper realm. The death of Emperor Donghua and the loss of his magical power to exorcise gods are the best proof of this.

In such an environment, Shen Yuan's magical power to exorcise gods no longer has any restrictions. He can even use this magical power to replace the decree of Heaven to remove the Ji Du Dragon King from his position and confer the title of Dragon King on all living beings in the Ji River.

You must know that the Ji River is one of the four great rivers and is related to the ancestral bloodline of all aquatic creatures in the world. If one wanted to remove the Dragon King from power ten thousand years ago, one must at least report to the Heavenly Court and leave it to Emperor Donghua and the Four Imperial Emperors to discuss and decide.

What Shen Yuan did thousands of years ago was definitely a provocation to the majesty of the Heavenly Court and a shake to the foundation of Shinto, which was enough to arouse the wrath of the Four Emperors.

To put it simply, this only involves the struggle between the water creatures in the lower world and the human race, and is not worthy of attention.

But to put it in a broader sense, Shen Yuan's act of deposing the Dragon King on behalf of Heaven was to steal the foundation of Heaven's rule over all realms.

In just a moment, the star gods of the Dou department will blockade the Xuanhuang world, and the Tianzun of the Thunder Department Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua will personally lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress the world. All people or things that involve the power of the Dragon King will be completely wiped out by the wrath of the Tianzun of the Thunder Department.

Compared with ennobling all living creatures in the Ji River as Dragon Kings, Shen Yuan ennobling Da Ri as a god in his own small world was simply a trivial matter.

If this matter was not too sensational and the cause and effect involved were not too huge, how could the system take out the Tiangang method of Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi as a hidden mission reward?

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the connection between heaven and earth has not been severed and that Heaven still rules over all realms.

After ten thousand years of severed connection between heaven and earth, Shen Yuan's actions only caused a sensation in the Xuanhuang Realm but did not attract the attention of the Heavenly Court.

After this comparison, Shen Yuan realized that the crisis faced by the Heavenly Court might be far beyond his imagination.

But for Shen Yuan, isn’t this also an opportunity?

The magical power to exorcise gods in his hands is the orthodox method of Heaven, the original method of incense and Shintoism. If used properly, it is entirely possible to get some benefits from Heaven.

You must know that although the Xuanhuang Realm has cut off its connection with the upper realm by cutting off the connection between heaven and earth, it does not mean that the Xuanhuang Realm is truly completely isolated from the world.

Spiritual energy can be cut off and Yuan Qi can be blocked outside the world, but there is one thing that the Xuanhuang Realm cannot avoid no matter what, and that is the sun, moon and stars above the sky.

“The sun, moon, and stars seen in the various realms are actually projections of the celestial stars on the various realms, and the Xuanhuang Realm is no exception.

Even if the connection between heaven and earth is severed, the Xuanhuang Realm still needs the light of the sun and the stars in the sky to illuminate all things. In this case, the stars become the only connection between the Xuanhuang Realm and the outside world."

Shen Yuan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the thoughts in his mind gradually became clearer.

“The Zhou Tian stars are the foundation of the Dou Department, and the Zhou Tian star gods that are enthroned are also a crucial part of the incense and fire way. It can be said that the ability to drive gods is also qualified to control the Zhou Tian stars.

Of course, if one wants to truly influence the stars by driving gods, one must have a higher level of driving gods ability. At least, the driving gods ability that I have barely entered into is difficult to work with.

But if we add in the star number magical power which is the cornerstone of the way of stars, one controls the divine way and the other influences the way of stars, the combination of the two is by no means as simple as 1+1.

In this way, guiding the stars around the sky will definitely not be a problem."

“And the power to exorcise gods is the most important authority of Emperor Donghua, and to some extent it has been tied to the Sun Star.

The sun is also one of the stars in the celestial sphere. After Emperor Donghua fell, the sun star has no owner. If we combine the power of driving away spirits and the power of counting stars, we may be able to move this first star of the Nine Luminaries."

"After all, I just want to borrow a bit of the Sun's True Fire to cleanse my Yin Spirit, not to become the Lord of the Sun Star. The difficulty shouldn't be too great."

With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan no longer hesitated.

If Shen Yuan can solve the problem of Yin Spirit cleansing sooner, he will have the opportunity to transform into Yang Spirit earlier and enter the realm of Spirit refining.

Inside the courtyard, Shen Yuan, who was sitting in front of the stone table, suddenly changed his aura.

Although his appearance remained unchanged, Shen Yuan at this moment seemed to have stepped from a cultivator into an almighty emperor who ruled the heavens, with infinite majesty in his eyes.

Within the secret courtyard, the huge jujube tree lowered its branches and leaves, and the green vines in the pavilion bent down like long snakes.

The spiritual objects planted in the spiritual field and the weeds on the ground all bent, as if they had been given new life, and saluted Shen Yuan.

On the contrary, Longli and Baixue, who are intelligent creatures, did not notice anything unusual.

At this moment, Shen Yuan seemed to have entered a wonderful state. Under the effect of his magical power to drive gods, he seemed to have turned into the king of the entire world, and he could command all living things with just a word.

Amidst the worship of all living beings, he slowly raised his right hand and used his finger as a pen to slowly write a huge word "Chi".

Large golden characters were imprinted between heaven and earth, and then Shen Yuan's majestic voice slowly sounded.

"Imperial decree, Great Sun!"

The next moment, above the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm, the huge sun hanging high in this world suddenly burst out with an intense light.

Far beyond the Xuanhuang Realm, the sun star that had been silent for countless years trembled slightly, as if awakening from an ancient slumber.

The Yin God, stained with a few strands of brilliant golden light, slowly walked out from the spiritual platform, bathing in the dazzling light of the sun.

If an ordinary Yin spirit came into contact with such scorching sunlight, its soul would be torn to pieces in an instant, but Shen Yuan ignored the sunlight.

Although this level of sunlight was several times stronger than before, and the true solar fire contained in it had also increased several times, it was still unable to achieve the effect of cleansing the Yin Spirit for Shen Yuan.

“Too weak.”

"not enough!"

Shen Yuan commented indifferently.

The Yin God looked at the sky in the secret realm of the courtyard. Before that, Shen Yuan used the Huiming Sword to carry Zhu Ming Cheng Ye Qi and transformed it into a big sun in the secret realm.

But after Huiming Sword recovered some of the true meaning of time, Shen Yuan gave up this approach and chose to guide the Great Sun of Xuanhuang Realm. Now, the Great Sun of this level obviously cannot satisfy Shen Yuan.

Sensing the imperceptible connection with the Sun Star, Shen Yuan suddenly had an idea.

“Since the Sun Star projects the Great Sun that manifests all realms, is it possible to project the Sun Star into the secret realm of the courtyard?

If we can manifest a real sun in the secret realm of the courtyard, condensing the light of the sun will surely achieve the purpose of purifying the Yin Spirit."

If he were in a normal state, Shen Yuan would never have such a crazy idea.

Even in the most top-notch blessed land, the real sun cannot be born, let alone in this narrow secret realm.

However, Shen Yuan, who was under the influence of the magical power to drive away gods and command all things, did not think there was anything wrong with this idea, because his will represented everything.

The five fingers of his right hand slowly opened. Shen Yuan did not use his magical power to pry open the incense and god way, but used his magical power as a medium to call on the sun star hanging high above all realms.

In a trance, Shen Yuan's gaze traced back to the source of the sun's light, as if he had entered a dark starry sky.

A huge sun that has been burning for countless years stands at the center of the stars. Its blazing light slowly dims, as if it has lost its power to illuminate all realms.

On the huge burning star, horrible cracks almost tore the entire star apart. The star was dotted with collapsed magnificent palaces, and its former glory could still be vaguely seen.

The incomplete corpses wearing golden armor were scattered on the surface of the planet, and the true fire of the sun burned them for thousands of years without burning them.

Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at the corpses, and the next moment the corpses that had fallen thousands of years ago suddenly opened their mouths.

"Emperor, you are back!"

The voice was filled with surprise, admiration, and regret. Countless complex emotions intertwined together, making Shen Yuan feel creepy in an instant.

There was not just one corpse, as the sound rang out, other corpses also let out roars of surprise.

"Emperor, you are back!"

"Emperor, you are back!"

Countless voices intertwined at this moment, causing Shen Yuan to suddenly fall from the state of his magical power.

Following the disappearance of the sunlight, Shen Yuan was still in the courtyard. Everything he had experienced before seemed like an illusion.

Shen Yuan's eyes became extremely deep. He knew very well that the scene he saw at that quick glimpse was definitely not an illusion.

Because the collapsed palace on the burning star was exactly the same as the Sun Palace that he had accidentally seen ten thousand years ago.

That is the Sun Star, the Sun Star after the death of Emperor Donghua.

Although it was unclear what exactly happened, the strange scene made Shen Yuan realize that there was a great terror on the Sun Star!

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan's first reaction was to give up the idea of ​​guiding the projection of the Sun Star.

But as Shen Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, he suddenly discovered that the connection between himself and the Sun Star had increased several times.

If Shen Yuan had previously attracted the Sun Star entirely with the help of his magical power to exorcise gods, then even if Shen Yuan did not use this magical power at this moment, he could still easily attract the sun's radiance.

With the current connection between Shen Yuan and the Sun Star, it is not impossible to use the magical power of driving spirits to guide the projection of the Sun Star.

Realizing this, Shen Yuan suddenly fell silent.

If it is difficult to guide the projection of the Sun Star, there is nothing wrong with giving up the guidance due to concerns about the strangeness in the Sun Star.

But now he is fully capable of guiding the projection of the Sun Star. It would be too costly to give up just because of the danger that may be hidden behind it.

“Since I have the ability to drive away spirits, I have inherited the karma of Emperor Donghua. Sooner or later, I will be connected to the Sun Star. Even if I give up now, I will not be able to avoid it in the future.

Anyway, the Xuanhuang Realm has been isolated from the heaven and earth for tens of thousands of years. Even the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods cannot forcibly intervene in the Xuanhuang Realm. No matter how powerful the weirdness on the Sun Star is, it is impossible to break through the Xuanhuang Realm and affect me. "

Having made up his mind, the flames of the god-driving magical power seed on Shen Yuan's chest flickered, and he slowly sent down the decree with the help of his connection with the Sun Star.

"The Sun is back!"

In that dead silent starry sky, the burning sun suddenly became brighter.

Within the secret courtyard, the original sunlight suddenly went out.

In the boundless darkness, Shen Yuan slowly opened his five fingers, and a flickering flame quietly emerged in his palm and quickly expanded.

Outside the secret courtyard, Gong Buyu, dressed in casual clothes, walked to the gate carrying a basket of vegetables. Behind her followed a young man with a strange look on his face. It was Xue Mingzhi, who had already broken through to the Qi training stage.

Xue Mingzhi's mind was in a mess at this moment.

The purpose of his trip was naturally to visit Shen Yuan, but who would have thought that he would run into Gong Buyu who was buying vegetables on the road.

When Xue Mingzhi saw Gong Buyu for the first time, his brain went into a state of shutdown.

No matter what he did, he could not connect the cold and aloof girl who was carrying a vegetable basket and bargaining with the old men and women with the number one prodigy who had dominated his peers like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

It would be fine if Gong Buyu was born a commoner from the beginning, but Xue Mingzhi knew very well that Gong Buyu was not of ordinary birth. Her father was a giant in the cultivation world who had survived from thousands of years ago and was in charge of an ancient cave. Even the identity of the current Princess of Daxia might not be as noble as Gong Buyu.

Xue Mingzhi watched the entire process of Gong Buyu buying vegetables like a puppet, and then followed Gong Buyu back to the courtyard.

"Is this the legendary practice of entering the secular world and refining the mind in the mortal world?"

"Or is this a test from the master to his disciples?"

Xue Mingzhi was filled with confusion.

As Gong Buyu pushed open the courtyard gate, the two walked into the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Gong Buyu frowned. The reason was simply that the courtyard was too dark.

You should know that even at night, the secret courtyard is illuminated by the light of stars, and the cold sky at the end of the year turns into a cold moon and sheds moonlight.

Not to mention that it is still daytime, such a dark environment is definitely not normal.

Xue Mingzhi, who had been to the courtyard several times, was also puzzled, but he did not speak. The two of them quickly walked along the gravel path and entered the courtyard.

A gentle voice sounded in Xue Mingzhi's ears.

"Is Buyu back from shopping?"

"There's something wrong with the sun. Just wait a moment."

Xue Mingzhi only saw Shen Yuan holding a golden, hot sphere in his right hand in front of the stone table, and lifting the sphere into the air like changing an ordinary light bulb.

The next moment, the sun shines brightly and the sun returns to its place!
