One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 803 Traversing the Six Realms, Coming and Going Freely

Hu Xiuwu was not at a disadvantage in words, treating the Jade Emperor like leeks in the field or wild dogs on the grassland, but in his heart he valued Him more than anyone else.

The closer one gets to Him, the more one understands the extent to which a person of His level can achieve.

Although he had never fought against the Jade Emperor, Hu Xiuwu had witnessed the power of the Snake God.

It feeds on the heavens, traverses the void, and is eternally indestructible.

Even after death, one's remains can nurture countless worlds: the world of *The Lost Tomb*, the world of *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*, the world of *Black Myth*...
The Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, and the Buddha of Mount Ling can all be said to have devoured the power of the Serpent God in order to grow into Great Golden Immortals.

Ever since Hu Xiuwu arrived in the world of Black Myth, he has had one question.

The Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, and the Buddha of Mount Ling—is it because the world is inherently dark that they act with such cold-blooded ruthlessness?

Or perhaps, like the Celestial Emperor of the previous world, they were corrupted and became what they are now because they discovered the remains of the Serpent God and the truth of the world.

Hu Xiuwu's first appearance in Heaven was actually a risky one.

According to the setting of Black Myth, Laozi is the Supreme Lord of Heaven who once mended the sky and can predict the future, while the Jade Emperor is the supreme god who now practices the Way of Heaven, spreads the virtue of Heaven, weighs the three realms, and governs all spirits. It can be said that all things and achievements in Black Myth are in His heart.

However, these two supreme gods mistakenly believed that Hu Xiuwu was a disciple of Subhuti and Sun Wukong's junior brother, and did not take him seriously at first.

Even after Hu Xiuwu had stormed into the Heavenly Court, he would still arrogantly sit in the Lingxiao Palace above the Thirty-Six Heavens, watching Hu Xiuwu 'make a scene'.

If the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Lord knew the truth of the world and understood that there were still three thousand worlds beyond the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor would not have been so dismissive of Hu Xiuwu.

It's important to understand that the core conflict in the Black Myth universe is that the world's resources have been depleted, making it impossible for powerful deities like the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Lord to continue living.

Stones will be eroded into sand and dust, the sun will eventually go out, and although the moment when gods die is far away, it will eventually come.

The Jade Emperor and the Supreme Lord might live another ten thousand years, but ten thousand years is far too short compared to their long lives.

It is known that the Jade Emperor underwent 3,200 kalpas before attaining the status of a Golden Immortal, becoming known as the Pure and Natural Awakened King Tathagata. According to this calculation, the Jade Emperor reached this position after 13200 kalpas. Each kalpa lasts 129,600 years, approximately 1.57 billion years.

With only ten thousand years left, wouldn't He be on His last legs?

If He knew that Hu Xiuwu came from the outside world and could guide Him to a world with richer resources, the Jade Emperor would have long ago tried to capture Hu Xiuwu and find out the map in his mind.

It wouldn't be as 'gentle' as it is now; it would be aimed solely at killing him.

Even as the Jade Emperor launched his attack in the blink of an eye, Hu Xiuwu's mind was still racing, and he deduced the truth.

The three pinnacles in Black Myth are different from his previous guesses; they were neither corrupted by the Serpent God nor seemed to have any lingering remnants of the Serpent God's will.

Why is this happening? Is it because the potential of the Imagination Seed is too high? Did all the power of this piece of Serpent God's remains go towards evolving the Serpent God's remains?
In other words, the remains of the serpent god could also be devoured by the seeds of illusion.

Hu Xiuwu realized a truth about the world and then retrieved all his clones.

One thousand two hundred clones overlapped on the original body, leaving countless shadows.

Hu Xiuwu's aura suddenly surged to its peak, and the edges of the two blades of the Spring Nourishing Divine Sword in his hand were covered with a blackish-gray color.

Before it could even be wielded, the Spring Nourishing Divine Sword, already unleashing its full divine power, had already cleaved through the void.

The Jade Emperor's all-encompassing hand crashed down.

Hu Xiuwu swept his sword towards the sky.

thump~
The entire thirty-six days were filled with trembling. The South Heavenly Gate was completely turned into a painting made of powder. The golden dragon and auspicious phoenix that had escaped from the pillars of the South Heavenly Gate were all smashed into a pool of blood, dying like mosquitoes that had been swatted flat.

"Ok?"

A voice of doubt came from beyond the heavens.

The hand that had blotted out the sky disappeared, and sunlight once again shone upon the Rainbow Bridge over the Cloud Island. The four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire stabilized again, and the divine consciousness of the gods was no longer obscured by the Heavenly Emperor's hand.

Hundreds of powerful deities, including the Ziwei Emperor, Laozi, and the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, who had not yet participated in the battle, all probed the battlefield ruins with their divine senses. However, they couldn't even find a single drop of Hu Xiuwu's blood.

Hu Xiuwu has disappeared.

Celestial Master Xu Xun, holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword on its back, asked the question that had puzzled all the immortals:

"Where did he go?"

······
Lihentian, Tushita Palace.

Amidst the auspicious clouds and ethereal spirits, a black sword mark suddenly appeared and split open to both sides, resembling an eye without pupils, or the gate of the mysterious female.

Lightning bolted from the center of the sword wound, landing in front of the palace gate and transforming into a silver-armored youth.

Needless to say, this was Hu Xiuwu who had escaped.

From beginning to end, the so-called "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array" could not stop Hu Xiuwu.

Even before the Spring Nourishing Divine Sword had merged with the main trunk of the Divine Tree, it was able to allow Xiu Wu to traverse the six realms of the Immortal Realm, and even cross the Well of Gods and Demons, passing through the seal personally placed by the Heavenly Emperor.

After merging with the main trunk of the divine tree, the Spring Nourishing Divine Sword became even more capable of traversing the void, and even the Jade Emperor himself could not stop it.

Therefore, after acquiring the Innate Demon Refining Tower and the Spring Nourishing Divine Sword, Hu Xiuwu was confident enough to challenge the Jade Emperor and Laozi in the Heavenly Court.

Even if he can't win, he can still run away.

After all, although the Jade Emperor and Laozi were stronger than him, he also knew the limits of their abilities.

The limits of the Black Myth universe are there; the lake has its limits, and the size of the fish that can be raised can be calculated.

Hu Xiuwu always calculated the success rate in his mind before embarking on any adventure.

"We've finally arrived here."

Beyond the thirty-sixth heaven, above the Lingxiao Palace, lies the Tushita Palace of the Lihen Heaven.

The residence of the only three Great Golden Immortals, Laozi.

Laozi holds a transcendent position in the Heavenly Court, and in the Heaven of Separation from Hatred, there is only the lineage of Laozi.

Apart from the vast Tushita Palace and several well-maintained medicinal gardens, the rest of Lihentian is naturally grown.

Looking out, one sees verdant mountains and a tapestry of colorful herbs. The originally colorless fragrance of herbs, due to their abundance, surrounds the mountainside and floats on the mountaintop, becoming a colorful ribbon across the mountains and a rainbow of clouds stretching for miles.

One breath of it can add ten years to one's life; even immortals can find peace and enlightenment in its fragrance. In the original story, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc at the Peach Banquet, ate all the Dragon Brain Immortal Wine on the table, and drunkenly stumbled into the Heaven of Separation from Hatred.

One can regain consciousness in the Tushita Palace, which is due to the effect of the elixir of immortality from the Heaven of Separation from Hatred.

In the mountains and forests, you can see deer roaming, foxes playing, mountain tigers resting, cranes and phoenixes flying in the sky, and dragons and turtles hiding in the lake.

Many animal organs can be processed into medicinal materials, the most famous being deer antler, bear bile, and tiger bone.

Animals can be kept in the mountains and forests, and can be taken and used at any time.

Beside a stream closest to the Tushita Palace, there was a large blue ox with a single horn, slowly munching on ginseng and honeysuckle, occasionally stretching its neck to eat some jujubes and persimmons to change its appetite.

Perhaps Hu Xiuwu's gaze was too heavy, for the one-horned blue ox wearing a gleaming silver ring, chewing on a date, looked up impatiently.

"Which child is so inconsiderate as to disturb Grandpa Ox's meal?"

"!!!Hu Xiuwu!!!"

"Master, the elixir thief is here again!!!"
