7200th level of Heaven, Mettle Sky, Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.

The Patriarch Bodhi was lecturing on dao, and all of his disciples were gathered, listening intently to his wisdom.

All of the Patriarch Bodhi's disciples were at the immortal emperor realm. Memory Star Immortal Emperor was one of the most junior disciples, and there were many other generations gathered there.

Very few would pass up on the opportunity, because the Patriarch's teachings were worth their weight in gold. It helped them reach the next cultivation realm quickly. Such was the sagacity of one of the greatest immortal emperors in the sky palaces.

The Patriarch's lecture soon came to an end. He did not speak for long each time, but his words were so profound that his disciples would analyze them endlessly.

Once you understood it, then your cultivation realm would fly ahead, faster than you could imagine.

The moment the lecture ended, the disciples fell into an excited buzz, which was the norm lately.

For one single reason: The Everlasting Battlefield would open soon!

"Another 50,000 years have passed. I wonder which youngster will win the chance to enter the Everlasting Battlefield this time."

"Hard to say. Competition is really fierce this time. I think it might be True Lord Erlang's son Yang Qiang, or perhaps Lotus Prince Nezha's son. They will probably win the chance to enter the Everlasting Battlefield, and emerge as one of our ranks."

"The competition's pretty strong this time, and it's not like we haven't had upsets in the Immortal Emperor Trials before. Well, we'll just have to wait and see. This will definitely be exciting!"

"Gonna be tough on us though. So many elite immortal emperors will be coming, and it's our duty to receive them. It's a lot of responsibility."

"Don't say that. Receiving them is an honor for us as well. And to be able to network with so many elite immortal emperors is a rare chance that not everyone gets. We should use it well. Putting in a right word here and there could help us to rise greatly."

"That's true. Each Immortal Emperor Trials is also an opportunity. Getting to know more of the elites is not a bad thing."

Many of the disciples agreed.

Ordinarily, they cultivated hard in a tedious existence. Although immortal emperors were capable of great patience and perseverance, they still looked forward to exciting affairs.

Therefore, while they a little resentful of being saddled with such an important duty, deep down they were pleased that such a big event was being held at Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.

They chatted and prepared to leave.

However this time, the Patriarch Bodhi patted the air, indicating that they should all stay.

The immortal emperors immediately turned serious. If the Patriarch was bidding them stay, then he must have important news for them.

However, they were thinking that it was probably something to do with the assignations or preparations for the Immortal Emperor Trials.

To their surprise, the Patriarch Bodhi pulled out the Wheel of Taichi.

The disciples were stunned. This was not about the Everlasting Battlefield, but......

"Why's he taking out the Wheel of Taichi?"

"No idea. The Everlasting Battlefield only begins in 3 years' time. Why take it out now?"

Many of the disciples were puzzled.

Instead, it was Memory Star Immortal Emperor, who thought well of Wu Yu, who hit upon it. Emotions flashed across his face. He had thought of a possibility. Time-wise, Wu Yu had been in Heavenly Devil Battlefield for 10,000 years now. He would not be coming out, would he?

Memory Star Immortal Emperor had been quite concerned about Wu Yu. After all, he was a 9-heavens immortal king who had defeated him to become the Patriarch Bodhi's disciple.

A mere 100 years after his initiation, he had already been imprisoned in Heavenly Devil Battlefield. However, Memory Star would still think of Wu Yu occasionally.

To the others, Wu Yu had only been around for 100 years, and now he had already been thrown into the Heavenly Devil Battlefield. Most had forgotten him, and those that hadn't did not favor his odds of making it out alive.

With a wave of his hand, the Patriarch Bodhi brought forth the black side of the Wheel of Taichi. A figure walked out.

The black light shone out of the Heavenly Devil Battlefield.

And the figure was Wu Yu himself!

All eyes bulged to see him, their jaws dropping wide open as if they had seen a dead person come back to life!

To them, 10,000 years being gnawed at by the heavenly devils was certain death.

But Wu Yu had actually come out alive!

Besides, they saw that Wu Yu had been through a transformation within. He was no longer the same 9-heavens immortal king that he had been. He was already a step closer to the eternal immortal emperor realm.

This shocked all of them. They could not believe it.

Not only alive, but stronger?

This would make sensational news in the sky palaces!

The Four Heavenly Kings and True Lord Erlang were actually intending to capture Wu Yu. They had been pacified by the assumption that he was as good as dead, but now he was back, alive and kicking. They would be furious!

Besides, the Patriarch Bodhi had even clarified with them that the grudge of Mo Liyin would be wiped clean by sending Wu Yu into the Heavenly Devil Battlefield!

The Four Heavenly Kings would be furious, but their anger could not be directed at the Patriarch Bodhi himself, eminent as he was. The Four Heavenly Kings added up were not worthy of one Patriarch Bodhi.

Therefore, everyone began to speculate on how the Four Heavenly Kings would deal with Wu Yu hereon.

Evidently, they would not do it openly. But if they tried some other covert means, Wu Yu could simply stay safe by turtling up within Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. That would be a huge problem for the Four Heavenly Kings.

"The kid actually survived. Heavenly Devil Battlefield is a horror. He actually made it out and evolved?!"

Complete Zen Immortal Emperor was rooted in shock. It was impossible that the Patriarch Bodhi had tampered with the Heavenly Devil Battlefield. Someone as righteous at him would not do such a thing.

"That's incredible. Truly a model example for our generation."

Memory Space Immortal Emperor said admiringly. He was fairly impressed by Wu Yu. There were not many who could beat Memory Star Immortal Emperor as a 9-heavens immortal king, and Wu Yu was one of them.

Besides, Wu Yu had survived 10,000 years in the Heavenly Devil Battlefield!

Any other 9-heavens immortal king would be dead a thousand times over. But Wu Yu was skipping out, stronger than ever. It was uncanny.

Before the immortal emperors had recovered, the Patriarch Bodhi continued in a calm voice: "The last spot in the Immortal Emperor Trials goes to Wu Yu! He too will be qualified to compete along with the children of the other immortal emperors."

If the disciples had been shocked before, then now it was as though they had been rapped on the head with a brick.

"I see! I see it now! So that's why the Patriarch only chose 127 people. The last slot was left for Wu Yu."

"The Patriarch already knew that Wu Yu would make it through 10,000 years in the Heavenly Devil Battlefield? If that's so, then the Patriarch has high hopes for Wu Yu indeed. He must be very confident about him."

"That's huge. When word of this gets out, the sky palaces will be in an uproar. But the Wheel of Taichi belongs to the Patriarch. All candidates in the Immortal Emperor Trials are up to him. Who will dare to say no?"

The disciples discussed excitedly. A mixture of admiration, resentment, and plain doubt were all directed Wu Yu's way.

Wu Yu could not care less about what they thought.

More importantly was that he had made it out of the Heavenly Devil Battlefield. This meant that 10,000 years had passed. And yet it felt like tens of thousands more had passed. Being tortured by the heavenly devils had made time seem to pass extremely slowly!

"I'm out...... And I can join the Immortal Emperor Trials."

Wu Yu very quickly understood the implications of the Patriarch Bodhi's announcement.

He had not only survived his quasi-death sentence, but had also been catapulted into the Immortal Emperor Trials, earning the chance to fight against the other immortal emperor children for a chance at the Everlasting Battlefield.

True Lord Erlang would probably puke blood once he heard about this.

Wu Yu didn't care.

After the Patriarch Bodhi let him out of Heavenly Devil Battlefield and made his announcement, he left without speaking to Wu Yu.

However, Wu Yu knew that the Patriarch Bodhi had been helping him all along.

If not for the Patriarch Bodhi's suggestion for him to enter the Heavenly Devil Battlefield, Wu Yu would probably already be dead at the hands of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Wu Yu, you actually did it."

The scholarly Memory Star Immortal Emperor came forwards now, pleased to see that Wu Yu had grown even more. He felt a slight sense of disorientation, but in the end Wu Yu was still Wu Yu.

"Senior brother Memory Star."

Wu Yu smiled to see a familiar face.

Finally out of the Heavenly Devil Battlefield. The feeling was...... the best!
