The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1098: Doing the biggest job, courting the biggest disaster!
On this day, a group of novice Immortal Emperors had their eyes opened.

Is this the daily life of a Celestial Emperor or higher-level cultivator?

Having escaped the cycle of reincarnation and the cycle of life and death, they look at the world anew with curious eyes, excitedly preparing to join the ultimate game of chess. They feel that, if not a master player, they are at least an important piece, no longer like ordinary beings who die without even knowing how.

However, the series of events that occurred one after another greatly shocked the emperors, making it impossible for them to find peace in their hearts... What the hell is going on?
So abstract?!
Is there something wrong with how they opened it?

Those who stand at the pinnacle of all human realms are still like this: nine out of ten strong are bad, and the last one is even worse.

Wearing someone else's clothes, using someone else's identity, framing others, defrauding and misleading...

The world has become filthy!

The emperors were speechless, watching as a familiar scene unfolded once again.

At the end of time, a violent tremor shook the world, and a figure appeared, crushing the past, present, and future, shattering the long river of history, just like that!
A bronze cauldron accompanies it, ancient and weathered, floating beside it, its bronze luster flowing.

The next moment, the bronze disappeared, returning to its natural state. The cauldron transformed, flowing with a pure, dark yellow hue, the essence of heaven and earth, the origin of all things.

Then, seemingly using black and yellow as soil, time as water, and immortal gold as seeds, it was planted and cultivated. As time flowed and years changed, the cauldron transformed, with thirty-three colors intertwining and blooming, immortal and indestructible!
call!
Suddenly, a faint flame appeared out of nowhere, so sacred, so transcendent... It was the fire of the vast sky, the flame of the ancient universe, fueled by yin and yang, burning away all that the heavens could not bury!
The cauldron was destroyed in the fire, and then reborn from within it. In the end, the primordial yellow and the immortal gold were no more, as if everything had been sublimated and condensed into one, becoming the only bronze!
Boom!
The sky trembled violently, and the ages collapsed. The light of bronze pierced through eternity. This color transcended ancient history and corresponded with a coffin, becoming a supreme artifact!
Finally, the bronze radiance subsided and dimmed. The great cauldron lost its divine power and quietly floated beside the descending emperor. It seemed ordinary, yet it made each of the immortal emperors break out in a cold sweat.

'Using the primordial chaos as its origin, evolving the mysteries of metal's nature, comprehending the ultimate flame of the ancient cosmos, and achieving supreme bronze—is this the great secret of the Heavenly Emperor's casting process?'

One after another, the Immortal Emperors felt a bitter taste in their mouths.

They seem to have discovered some incredible secret!
This "Heavenly Emperor" who came this time was different from the previous two; he immediately started giving them benefits... But...

If this really is that Emperor Ye, then everyone can take the benefits.

if not...

That really means... knowing too much!
They offered benefits right off the bat... Unfortunately, those benefits were too hot to handle!
"It has come to this..."

Several of the most astute Celestial Emperors exchanged glances, 'Even if it's fake, it has to be real... Strike first!'

The next moment, they leaped up, waving their hands, tears welling in their eyes, and shouted, "The Heavenly Emperor is immortal!"

"You will always be the sun in our hearts!"

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

With these people taking the lead, the remaining Immortal Emperors realized what was happening and followed suit.

In an instant, the place became a sea of ​​cheers, and the emperors were moved to tears, their gratitude overflowing.

Emperor of Heaven.

Emperor Ye.

Ye Taiyang!
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor who had just arrived... Had he been out of touch with the world for so long that he had become out of touch with the times and been abandoned by the tides of history?
The way these Immortal Emperors were behaving made it look like a large-scale performance art piece!

I can't understand it!

"No need for gratitude, no need for respect..."

The Heavenly Emperor was puzzled, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, he was aware of the complexities of this era. Most cultivators who went far on the path of cultivation were not mentally stable; they were either schizophrenic or on the path to schizophrenia.

Mentally ill people have strange ways of thinking, and it's understandable that normal people can't understand them!

If they could understand each other... wouldn't he also become one of the mental patients?
For example, terms like paranoia, delusions, etc.

The Heavenly Emperor politely declined, feeling perfectly normal. Even the Demon Ancestor nodded in approval, saying, "Yes, you're not sick."

"I have come here to relieve your suffering and resolve your hidden dangers. I cannot bear to see you, such outstanding talents, trapped by the ills of the times, to the point of death and the dissipation of your spiritual essence..."

The Heavenly Emperor spoke, explaining his purpose.

The emperors understood this perfectly.

—That's what the two Heavenly Emperors said before.

And them?
Just thank them and that's it!

"Great virtue of the Heavenly Emperor!"

They bowed deeply in gratitude... they've almost gotten used to it.

Things shouldn't happen more than three times, but this is already the third time.

"Heaven attains oneness and becomes clear; Earth attains oneness and becomes tranquil; Spirit attains oneness and becomes divine..."

The Heavenly Emperor recited scriptures and transmitted the Great Law. All the emperors listened intently, and in an instant, they were deeply moved, and the words flowed slowly through their hearts.

This Heavenly Emperor, whose true identity remains a mystery, actually pointed out a clear path for them on how to resolve the hidden dangers within their spiritual selves.

Diverse wisdom and values ​​collide and erode each other, eventually becoming a terrible calamity. How can one overcome this?

This Heavenly Emperor then performed a ritual, standing at a special angle, melting everything together to obtain one thing, and then transcending from that "one" to transform into a divine embryo, discarding all hidden dangers!

He was deeply immersed in this field, as if he had had similar experiences, committed heinous crimes, and seized the essence of countless outstanding talents for his own use, refining it into his own body.

Ultimately, he became a great demon, which was too contrary to the laws of nature, and he was abandoned by heaven and hated by people.

However, his talent was extraordinary and defied common sense. Even though he was an unparalleled demon with a deep demonic nature, he developed divinity within his demonic body. One day, he broke free from the demonic shell and transformed into a divine embryo, leaving all the hidden dangers in his old body and carrying out a righteous excision!
—What does the evil deeds of the Devouring Demon Emperor have to do with me, the Heavenly Emperor of the Southern Ridge?
From then on, he was blessed with boundless good fortune. With each step he took, he created a pure land amidst chaos, and wherever he went, celestial artifacts would come to him.

All good things come together and are unified, while all bad and hidden dangers are eradicated.

If one's physical constitution is like this, one's spirit... should also be able to be like this!

This Heavenly Emperor imparted his teachings and expounded his magic, guiding this group of Immortal Emperors and enabling them to draw inferences from one instance to another.

They can learn from this and evolve a spiritual embryo from their chaotic selves, breaking free from all hidden dangers and transcending them!
The emperors listened with rapt attention.

not easy.

It's not easy!
After three Heavenly Emperors in succession, finally one of their suggestions sounded somewhat plausible! The first Heavenly Emperor truly resembled a Heavenly Emperor, possessing the beautiful aspirations that people held for the word "Heavenly Emperor"—sacrifice, faith, heroism, and so on. His suggestion was for them, the group of Celestial Emperors who had risen through crooked paths, to become such people.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are that kind of people or not. What matters is that they can get out of this method. In the end, the only people who will be like that will be the ones who succeed!
Only by being placed in a life-or-death situation can one survive; those who survive can only be heroes and great men!
What if... what if I wasn't such a heroic figure in the beginning? Then what difference would it make if I went down this path and committed suicide?

Schizophrenia, ultimately being refined and erased by the mastermind behind the scenes, is a kind of death... So, is it not also a kind of death to suppress one's original selfish nature and become a selfless hero?

The spirit of the Heavenly Emperor is lofty, but many people would never want to become the Heavenly Emperor.

The second Heavenly Emperor... does fit the other side of the legendary Heavenly Emperor Ye—the Evil Ancestor!
Rumors and unofficial histories claim that Ye Xiezu created the Mother-Child River, which poisoned an entire era.

It is said that even the creation of the Bloodline Technique was achieved by the Demon Ancestor through enlightenment in the Mother-Child River!

Therefore, it is quite reasonable for the evil ancestor to reappear, pass on the Mother-Child River Great Law, resolve hidden dangers through the propagation of life, and use offspring to inherit the hidden spiritual characteristics...

The specific methods are too challenging to one's worldview—after all, at the level of an Immortal Emperor, reproduction is extremely difficult, and there is some kind of constraint in the dark, making it more difficult for the more powerful beings to reproduce.

Moreover, simply combining Yin and Yang is like cutting one's own characteristics in half... This cutting in half is not as simple as reducing the effect by half; it directly eliminates 90%, making it extremely difficult to resolve debts!
Unless... the Mother-Child River!

The Mother-Child River, born directly from the human body, nurtures the divine embryo, inheriting everything from the mother, thus enabling it to best steal the heavens and earth in terms of cause and effect!

good results.

But if we do that, we'll really be throwing our integrity to the dogs!
The Emperor of Heaven is too righteous.

The Evil Ancestor is Too Demonic.

Fortunately, this third Heavenly Emperor's method sounded more reliable; it wouldn't require dying or having one's integrity shattered.

Just ...

"It seems... a little bit difficult?"

Ears: I understand!
Brain: I understand!
Hand: You guys don't understand anything!
I understand the general theory, but when I seriously consider and ponder it, I find it fraught with difficulties and hard to get through.

After all, transforming from a demonic body into a divine embryo is merely a physical rebirth and sublimation.

Achieving such a profound spiritual and personal elevation is a completely different matter in terms of difficulty!

A spiritual embryo must have a source, a self... but their current problem is chaos, so chaotic that they can't even maintain their self. How can they transform?

What if, in the end, the divine embryo emerges from Nirvana, only to be secretly controlled by some alien thought arising from a split personality, who schemed everything, took over at the crucial moment, and stole all the Dao fruits!

That makes it ridiculous.

You've taken good care of yourself, but someone else has eaten your feast!

A Celestial Emperor earnestly sought his advice, which surprised the Heavenly Emperor who had passed down the philosophy. Why would someone ask such a simple question? Isn't that something anyone can do?

However, after a brief moment of contemplation, the Heavenly Emperor still gave his answer.

"You could consider starting with your obsession."

The Heavenly Emperor asked, "Looking back on your life, have you had any unforgettable experiences that have become indelible obsessions?"

"Especially before you embark on the spiritual path and receive the memory empowerment."

"If this obsession has transcended life and death, making you unable to forget it even in death, and willing to give up your life to achieve it, then it is the best anchor point."

The Heavenly Emperor sighed softly, “Different wisdom and values ​​give rise to different consciousnesses. Even within the same body, they will have different views on the same thing.”

"But no matter what, the original spouse's flesh and blood and self have the most hidden resonance."

"Some people are easily empathized with and moved, not only because of the education and influence they received during their upbringing, but also because of their innate qualities that make them more easily touched."

"Even if such a person suffers from schizophrenia, with multiple selves existing simultaneously, confused and disordered... when they seek the most extreme emotions and the most concentrated obsessions, there will always be a moment when, looking back, they will find that one of their selves is the most heartbroken, with tears streaming down their face."

The emperors were deeply moved.

Emotion? Obsession?
It's unbelievable!

"Actually, this is also a clever way to do things."

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head as he spoke, “If one has enough talent to unravel the mystery, thoroughly grasp the essence of the body, follow the clues, explore the universe of the human body, and lock onto the ‘Heavenly Heart Imprint’ within, one can grasp one’s true self and discard external influences… This is the true essence of the Secret Realm Method.”

"Or perhaps, by cultivating the bloodline technique to a peak level, one can become an ancestor, a lineage, disregarding even 'oneself,' transforming into a complete bloodline holy spirit, condensing all the wisdom and values ​​of predecessors, transforming into an unstoppable torrent. The memories you have received in these few million years, your inherent values ​​and personalities, would probably be difficult to withstand the impact..."

“Even if we don’t take these two paths, there are other ways… You shouldn’t blindly regard those foreign intellectuals as invincible enemies.”

"It should be understood that erosion and assimilation are not one-way processes, but rather a two-way process."

"Foreign wisdom and personality may indeed invade your ego... but isn't it also like delivering goods to your door?"

"When this wisdom and personality enter your bodies, it means that from now on you will have shared experiences and shared perceptions..."

"Experience can shape a person."

“Previously, you thought they were invincible and difficult to resist... That’s because your experience was not exciting enough, too lacking, and you couldn’t surpass the depth of these outsiders. Let them look down on you from above, and you will naturally feel constrained everywhere, like birds in a cage.”

"But if you weather great storms and surpass the scenery they've ever seen, and together enter unfamiliar territory, their illusion of omnipotence will be shattered!"

"At that time, you will have the upper hand, and the balance of power will shift!"

"You can even turn the tables and completely subdue and refine these foreign wisdom and personalities, making them part of your Dao fruit!"

"Ultimately, they are parasites that have sprung from your own selves..."

"This is the result I've been most looking forward to..."

The Heavenly Emperor whispered, carrying immense hope, and slowly dissipated here.

However, none of the emperors noticed; they were all lost in thought, their myriad thoughts ultimately coalescing into a single idea, condensed from the words of the Heavenly Emperor.

——Full life!
Do the biggest job, risk the biggest gamble, surpass your predecessors, and achieve your own success!
