The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 360 The story of the empress and Zhang Shuo
The Golden Ancient Temple is magnificent, with golden tiles and ancient reliefs, making it look ancient and weathered, as if it had come from another era across the long river of time.

In front of the hall, huge pillars stand one after another. Dozens of them are extremely thick and light golden in color. Standing in the front, there is a sense of solemnity and sacredness, and there are also mottled marks of time.

“The Jieying Ancient Temple should have been destroyed, how could there be any remnants left?” Huang Shiyun frowned, looking puzzled.

Zhang Shuo glanced at Duan De and Hei Huang who were trembling slightly. Their actions showed that they might have awakened some of their memories and understood the meaning of the Jieying Ancient Temple, but none of this mattered.

"Shiyun, I remember there are many Jieying Ancient Temples. It is not impossible that we missed one or two, right?" Zhang Shuo asked after thinking for a moment.

Huang Shiyun shook her head firmly and analyzed seriously: "In order to completely cut off the existence of dark matter, we turned the Chaos Sea upside down and cleared out all the people and things related to darkness.

Even the dark races from the foreign lands and the burial grounds were all personally removed by the powerful men who had advanced to the "Emperor" realm, and the remnants of darkness in their bloodline origins were removed, so it is impossible for something like the Jieying Ancient Palace to remain. "

Zhang Shuo understood the reason why Huang Shiyun was shocked when he heard this. After all, if an Immortal Emperor wanted to completely eliminate the dark matter, there would be no omissions. However, the Ancient Palace of Reception in front of them could not be fake.

"There are roughly two possibilities for the existence of this ancient Jieying Palace: one is that after Emperor Huang Tian and others left, darkness broke through the barrier of the sea boundary and descended upon the burial ground again; the other is that this ancient Jieying Palace was left behind intentionally by someone."

Zhang Shuo looked at the Jieying Ancient Temple in front of him and thought that the second possibility was the highest. If the barrier of the boundary sea was breached, the major worlds of the Chaos Sea would have been plunged into darkness and turmoil long ago.

Huang Shiyun also thought of this possibility, and her expression became less nervous and defensive, and more curious and thoughtful.

Duan De stared blankly at the Ancient Golden Temple. His memory was stimulated by the Ancient Golden Temple and partially recovered, and his cultivation level also improved a lot.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, exchanged glances with Black Emperor, and said to Zhang Shuo: "Dead Dog and I are not strong enough, so we will not enter the Jieying Ancient Palace and hold you back."

Zhang Shuo also understood their concerns, so he agreed: "That's fine. It's really inconvenient for you to continue following. Do you want me to send you back to the fairyland directly?"

Black Emperor was so anxious that he quickly shook his head and took the initiative to refuse: "Don't be so anxious, we plan to explore other areas of the burial ground to see if there is anything unusual."

Zhang Shuo knew what they were thinking, and did not expose these two fools. Instead, he said to Duan De:

"That's fine. I'll send you back to the ground of Burial Land Continent, and you can make your own arrangements afterwards. And Duan De, you should return the item I gave you."

Duan De was stunned when he heard this, and thought of the strange seed-like object. Suddenly, he got some information from his memory, and his saliva was almost flowing out.

He rolled his eyes, pretended to fiddle with his Taoist robe, and said, "Hey? That's strange, why can't I find it?"

Zhang Shuo smiled helplessly, and with a snap of his hand, an object flew out of the treasure bowl in Duan De's hand and fell into his hand. Then he shot a nine-colored light into the void, constructing a space-time channel and throwing Duan De and Hei Huang into it.

Later, Zhang Shuo and the other two came to the gate of the temple and felt a mysterious power. The light was faint but soft, but it blocked their progress.

The three of them were bathed in the faint light, and their souls revealed a comfortable feeling. This gentle light seemed to be extraordinary.

"This light is very special. It can actually slowly strengthen my soul." The empress explained softly after feeling the changes the light brought to herself.

Zhang Shuo also felt the changes in his soul. The light emitted by the Jieying Ancient Temple could indeed enhance the soul, but for him, the enhancement was very weak.

Huang Shiyun was very shocked. This light gave her a very familiar feeling and an astonishing guess emerged in her mind.

"No wonder the abyss can give birth to so many true immortal spirits. It seems to have a lot to do with this light."

Zhang Shuo's eyes flashed with chaotic light, trying to see through the essence of this light. With the blessing of the Jade Disc of Creation, his eyes penetrated through the layers of obstacles in the ancient temple and vaguely saw a glowing sarcophagus.

But no matter how he activated the Dao Pupil of Creation, he could not see through the reality of the sarcophagus.

"I can't see through this Jieying Ancient Temple. It seems I need to go in and find out!" Zhang Shuo directly sacrificed the Jade Disc of Creation. Nine-colored light illuminated the entire underground space. The power of the supreme law surged and came into contact with the light curtain of the Jieying Ancient Temple.

"Hey!"

In just a moment, the gate of the ancient temple glowed, and auspicious clouds rose up from the steps, instantly submerging the place, creating an horrifying scene.

But they were soon suppressed by the nine-colored light, and kept retreating into the ancient palace. As the fluctuations became more intense, the light curtain covering the ancient palace was dissolved, and the doors opened automatically to welcome the arrival of Zhang Shuo and the other two.

"Tack, tick, tick..."

Without hesitation, the three of them took a step forward and went directly into the Jieying Ancient Temple. They walked in the empty temple and observed the layout inside the temple.

The ancient palace is very empty. The murals around it are engraved with ancient reliefs and totems. Apart from that, there are no other objects to be seen. There is only a sense of oldness, vicissitudes, and desolation.

The three of them walked forward and came to the main door of the deepest part of the hall. Wisps of crystal light leaked out from the cracks in the door and floated inside the ancient hall, making it dreamy and hazy.

Zhang Shuo placed his hand on the palace door and mobilized his energy and blood with all his strength, unleashing a terrifying force that shook the huge door bit by bit.

"Click..."

The tightly closed palace door opened, and a dazzling rain of light gushed out, instantly submerging the three people.

Huang Shiyun felt the immortal light throbbing in her soul, which symbolized the immortal king's Dao fruit. She became more certain of her guess and more expectant.

The dazzling rain of light dissipated, Zhang Shuo opened his eyes and looked towards the center of the main hall, where a huge stone coffin came into view.

It was a huge sarcophagus. Although it looked simple and rough, it was carved with mountains, rivers, earth, sun, moon, stars, and ancient ancestors. They were all lifelike and had some kind of mysterious Taoist charm.

Facing the sarcophagus is like facing an extremely real primitive world, which makes people want to worship it from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the most amazing thing is that the sarcophagus exudes a soft fairy glow, which is not strong, but extremely conspicuous, and has an indescribable mystery.

"It is indeed the Emperor's light!" Huang Shiyun's beautiful eyes lit up as she affirmed.

"Emperor's Light?" The empress stared at the sarcophagus in front of her. The warm and soft light gave her a supreme feeling, as if she had surpassed the immortal way and was above all other ways.

"The Imperial Light is the first sign that an Immortal King cultivator has entered the realm of the Immortal Emperor. It is an important symbol of embarking on the path to becoming the Immortal Emperor. Judging from the intensity of the Imperial Light emitted by the sarcophagus, this should be a quasi-Immortal Emperor weapon."

Huang Shiyun explained them one by one, and based on her own experience, she made a judgment on the level of the sarcophagus.

"This is a quasi-Immortal Emperor weapon! And it doesn't look like a dark ancient weapon. Could it be a quasi-Immortal Emperor treasure specially left behind by Emperor Huang Tian?" Zhang Shuo looked at the sarcophagus with surprise, and finally understood why he couldn't see through the sarcophagus.

He came to the sarcophagus, used all his strength to activate the Jade Disc of Creation to protect himself, and then prepared to touch the sarcophagus.

"Om..."

At the moment when the fingers and palms touched the sarcophagus, a bright light came into contact with the nine-colored light, colliding with a wonderful power.

A supreme wave surged into Zhang Shuo's body and instantly spread throughout his body, sweeping through every part of his flesh and blood, including the soul in his sea of ​​consciousness, causing his eyes to go black and he lost consciousness.

"elder brother!"

At the same time, the empress was the first to notice Zhang Shuo's abnormality. She came to the stone coffin in an instant, and her whole body burst into flying fairy light. She raised her bare hands and slapped the contact point between the stone coffin and Zhang Shuo fiercely. "Bang!"

The moment the three came into contact, the fairy light of the sarcophagus became brighter, and the collision of the empress's fairy power, the nine-colored light and the "emperor's light" produced mysterious changes.

In an instant, a supreme force that transcends time and space enveloped Zhang Shuo and the empress, pulling their consciousness into the distant past.

A series of strange yet familiar images emerged in their minds.

---

In ancient times, the first people were proud and self-sufficient, and they embraced simplicity and truth.

Beidou Star Territory
In a wild mountain range in the southern part of the East Wilderness, there is a peaceful and harmonious little village. The villagers work from sunrise to sunset all day long, as if they were isolated from the world.

One day, in the calm sky, a group of broken jade fragments wrapped around an illusory figure flew out from the void.

At the other end of the void is a vast silver river, with rushing water constantly beating. Every wave reflects countless scenes of the world, as if containing countless time and space. Along with the sound of splashing water, the cracks in the void close.

A streak of golden lightning was engulfed by a mass of jade fragments, carrying an illusory figure with it as it fell into the wild mountains.

Ten months later, a baby boy was born in a family in the small village, but the family did not show any joy.

The woman of this family died due to complications during childbirth, and it was difficult for the man to welcome the new life with joy.

But such tragedies did not stop. In just six years, the adults in this family suffered accidents and passed away one after another. Only a six-year-old boy barely survived.

The boy's name was Zhang Shuo. Although he was only eight years old, he was born with a strong physique and great intelligence. With the help of the villagers, he was able to barely make ends meet.

However, the boy's situation was very strange. He always encountered various disasters, such as broken trees, collapsed houses, tigers, leopards, jackals and other natural and man-made disasters, but he was able to survive miraculously every time and even have some adventures.

In order to embark on the path of cultivation, Zhang Shuo chose to enter the mountains to try his luck in picking spiritual fruits, but unexpectedly found a baby girl in a basket under a towering tree.

The baby girl's crying was intermittent and her voice was very weak. It was obvious that she had been hungry for a long time.

Zhang Shuo saved the weak baby girl in time. He bit his finger and fed the baby girl with his blood bit by bit, thus saving her life.

Zhang Shuo was also a lonely man. Looking at the cute baby girl, his heart was moved. Perhaps because he had been alone for a long time, he accepted the baby girl as his own sister and raised her to grow up healthily.

Under Zhang Shuo's careful care, the baby girl grew up little by little, from a baby who was held in his arms all day, to a toddler, and then to a little girl. He gave her a nickname, Nannan.

Nannan was surrounded by kind villagers and a brother who loved and cared for her. Those four short years were the happiest time of her life.

Unfortunately, good times are always short-lived. When Nannan was four years old, a group of flying monks broke into this quiet little village. After some commotion, these mysterious outside monks revealed their purpose.

They are the monks of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty. They specifically travel to various places to find geniuses with extraordinary talents, recruit them into the Divine Dynasty, and help them embark on the path of cultivation.

Faced with the powerful monks of the Divine Dynasty, a small village had no power to resist, and since it might not be a bad thing, all the children of appropriate age in the village participated in the testing of their cultivation qualifications.

After some testing, Zhang Shuo's physical condition was exposed. The powerful physique of the Ancient Saint Body made him a hot commodity in the eyes of the monks of the Divine Dynasty, and they were ready to take him away by force.

Zhang Shuo, who had no power to resist, could only comfort his crying daughter and promise to come back to find her.

After a lot of trouble, Zhang Shuo, who was brought to Zhongzhou Yuhua Divine Dynasty, did not receive the treatment promised by those monks.

He joined the Yuhua Divine Dynasty with a group of children and became the so-called potential geniuses. However, no one taught them how to practice cultivation. Instead, they were taught some special methods, combined with various special medicines and rich monster blood food, nominally to help them strengthen their bodies and develop their physical potential.

In such a favorable environment, Zhang Shuo had a bad feeling and became worried about his future.

Unable to let go of his little girl, Zhang Shuo decided to keep some backup plans. Through some inquiries and exchanges, he discovered that the medicines provided by the Yuhua Divine Dynasty were very valuable, rare treasures and of very high value.

Therefore, he secretly kept some precious medicines to bribe the clerks, and made use of some connections to send the special methods of developing potential and some less precious medicines to his hometown and gave them to his little girl.

Finally, a group of potential geniuses whose potentials were fully developed, under the supervision of the monks of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, passed through the five-color altar and came to a mysterious fairyland, where they received the cruelest truth.

Outside the Chengxian Pool, Zhang Shuo looked at the young boys and girls who were sacrificed one after another, as well as the immortal fetus in the center of the pool. He suddenly awakened the memories of his past life and understood the whole story.

"It turns out that I was reincarnated as the brother of the ruthless empress, but why did my memory only awaken at this time?"

Zhang Shuo's mind was full of doubts, but he had no way to escape the current situation and could only wait for death helplessly.

Fortunately, at this time, the jade disc fragment in his soul sent out a message, telling him that this was the beginning of a new life, not the end.

Although he didn't understand the purpose of the Jade Disc of Creation, Zhang Shuo had no other choice.

He knew very well that his death was inevitable. Since he was going to die, why not help little Nannan by doing one last thing.

Before he died, he endured the heartache, left his final words, and then fell into the Chengxian Pool.

At the moment of Zhang Shuo's death, the Jade Disc of Creation in his soul seemed to break free from its shackles and the restrictions of a certain terrifying existence. It reassembled the fragments into one, carrying Zhang Shuo's true spirit, and escaped into the depths of the immortal land, waiting for the opportunity to come.

On the other hand, after receiving the methods and medicines sent by Zhang Shuo, little Nannan missed her brother even more. But not long after, the cruel fact of Zhang Shuo's death was placed before her.

In order to get the truth, the little girl, whose physique is not even as good as that of an ordinary person, resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation.

She left the village where she grew up, and with her unparalleled understanding, she mastered the method of developing potential, and even further evolved and improved the method, and successfully embarked on the path of cultivation with the help of medicine.

On the road of cultivation, she fought against the sky, the earth, and herself. She was not gifted, but relied on her own strength to kill all the kings, and stood alone in the nine heavens. Not even the gods could block her way.

In the end, he became the most powerful figure in ancient and modern times, achieving the ultimate state of enlightenment and being known as the Ruthless Emperor.

The ruthless female emperor attacked the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, smashed the Yuhua Emperor's soldiers, shattered the Zhongzhou ancestral dragon vein, and flattened the Yuhua Divine Dynasty.

After deducing the whole story, the empress broke into the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, found the Immortal Cauldron and the Immortal Fetus in the Immortal Pond, and shattered the beautiful dream of the Yuhua Dynasty that had lasted for millions of years with one palm.

Finally, the empress found a piece of tattered blood-stained clothes, erected a monument and engraved words on a cliff, forcing out the ancient holy blood that had been contained in her body for a long time.

At the beginning, Zhang Shuo was ready to use his blood to save the little girl who was about to starve to death, but for some reason, a trace of the original essence of the ancient holy body flowed out.

The empress embarked on the path of cultivation, developed the unique "Heaven-Devouring Magic Art", and discovered the drop of holy blood in her body.

She didn't know why she had her brother's holy blood in her body, but that didn't stop her from preserving it.

Now, a monument was erected on the cliff. The empress, out of her spiritual perception, dropped a drop of holy blood on the bloody clothes, and then left.
