Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 612: The Court of the Sun
In the ancient star Ziwei and the nine provinces of the world, the Divine Dynasty is prosperous, with various methods of cultivation and evolution standing side by side, just like a hundred flowers blooming.

Wandering on the Hezhou Continent, Li Changshou not only saw the Divine Dynasty established by the human cultivators, but also saw the Demon Kingdom established by the demon cultivators.

I even saw a familiar divine dynasty - the Court of the Sun God.

Moreover, the Lord of the Sun God Court calls himself the Sun Holy Emperor. He owns an imperial tower to suppress the fortune of the God Court, and it is a God Court at the holy court level.

However, it is different from the Ziwei Holy Court standing above the nine heavens, and its scale is only comparable to that of the Celestial Empire.

However, Li Zhi's eyesight was so sharp that he saw through this holy court disguised as the Celestial Empire at a glance.

Arriving outside the imperial capital of the Sun God Court, Li Changshou entered a subsidiary immortal city.

A prosperous atmosphere blows over.

“Dragon meat buns, delicious dragon meat buns.”

"Sweet rock sugar pear."

"Don't miss these freshly processed magical weapons if you pass by them."

"Sir, would you like to try our custom-made armor?"

"..."

In a trance, Li Zhi seemed to have returned to the ancient Ziwei Star, and the market was so lively.

After strolling around the street and experiencing the immortal cultivators' market again, Li Changshou came to a prosperous restaurant.

"Sir, please come in." The waiter warmly invited Li Zhi into the store.

"Is there a lively place? Find me a lively place." Li Changshou did not come here to enjoy himself, but wanted to listen to what the cultivators here were talking about.

"Okay, this way please." Although this request was different from the normal guests who chose quietness, the waiter still met Li Changshou's request and took him to a table in the hall near the street window.

It can not only satisfy Li Changshou's need to watch the fun, but also allow him to enjoy his meal without being disturbed.

Li Changshou was very satisfied with the waiter's arrangement and rewarded him with a piece of source on the spot.

Then, he enjoyed the delicious food while listening to the sounds of the world from all directions.

Suddenly, he heard a private discussion coming from the box upstairs.

Although there was a magic circle separating the inside and the outside, Li Changshou's magical power was so great that he could ignore the existence of the magic circle and hear what they were discussing.

"Brother Jiang, do you really want to take part in the Saint Emperor Disciple Assessment next month?" a young voice said.

"This opportunity only appears once every three hundred years, and I will not miss it no matter what. Moreover, the elders in the clan have already smoothed the relationship for me. As long as I can pass the first round of assessment, even if I cannot become a disciple of the Holy Emperor in the end, at least I can have the opportunity to enter the Holy Emperor Academy and practice for three hundred years." Another person said.

"I really envy your opportunity, Brother Jiang. If I were a few decades older, I would also sign up like Brother Jiang."

"Brother Liu, what are you dreaming about? Brother Jiang has the opportunity he has now because Old Man Jiang fought hard on the battlefield. If I remember correctly, the last time our Sun God Court and the Golden Crow God Court fought in the Sunset Sea, the team led by your second uncle was almost wiped out."

"Jizhe, what do you mean by this?"

"Alright, alright, brothers, don't let the past hurt your relationship. We are all here to drink today for Brother Jiang."

Afterwards, Li Changshou lost interest in the content of their conversation.

When the waiter brought the wine he ordered, Li Changshou asked, "Brother Xiaoer, I have a question for you."

"Since you asked, sir, I will never hide anything I know." The waiter knew that Li Changshou was a generous customer, so he quickly said with a smile.

"Do you know about the Saint Emperor's disciple assessment?" Li Changshou asked.

"Of course I know. All the people in our Sun God Court know this. Every three hundred years, the Holy Emperor will personally recruit twelve disciples to train them, and they are called the Twelve Saints. Now, most of the civil officials and military generals in and outside the court are from the Twelve Saints."

"Sir, are you here to take part in the Saint Emperor Assessment as well? I'm not being nosy, but I advise you not to bother with it. Although the Saint Emperor Assessment is open to everyone in the world, you need to meet three conditions to sign up, or be jointly nominated by three Conferred Gods."

When it comes to the Holy Emperor's Assessment, the waiter talks incessantly, as if he has endless things to say.

Although his words were a bit too much, they also gave Li Changshou a deeper understanding of the Saint Emperor's assessment.

Just when Li Changshou thought the waiter was about to finish, he said mysteriously: "In fact, the Saint Emperor assessment did not exist at the beginning. It is said that the first Saint Emperor was a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, there were twelve saints following the Heavenly Emperor. The Saint Emperors of later generations also wanted to reproduce the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor, so they created a Saint Emperor disciple. It is said that once the twelve disciples reach the Saint King realm at the same time, it is the time for the Saint Emperor to ascend to heaven."

"Is there such a saying?" Li Changshou asked curiously, and at the same time rewarded him with a fist-sized piece of Divine Source.

After carefully putting the Divine Source into his pocket, the waiter looked around and then transmitted a message to Li Changshou: "There is a rumor, I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that the real purpose of the Saint Emperor's disciples is not to cultivate strong people for the Divine Court, but to summon the twelve saints who were with the Emperor of Heaven in the past to revive. They are all the flesh containers of the twelve true saints, and they are the sacrifices chosen for the return of the first generation of saints."

After that, the waiter quickly said in a normal manner and tone: "Sir, if you need anything else, just let me know."

But Li Changshou felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The Holy Emperor of the Sun, the disciple of the Emperor of Heaven, the Twelve Saints?
Aren’t they Ye Fan’s eldest disciple Ye Tong and the followers Ye Fan recruited on the ancient trial road of the human race?

Interesting, it’s getting more and more interesting.

First, he disguised the Holy Court as the Celestial Empire, and then he trained twelve saints.

Could it be that the purpose of the existence of the Sun God Court is to allow Ye Tong and the Twelve Saints to descend to this world?
Back then, Li Changshou saw the starry sky image, perhaps it was his first attempt.

The creatures in the other world, in order to ensure the true return of their respective Heavenly Emperors, probably will not care about the creatures in this world.

Moreover, the three Heavenly Emperors look too similar, so it may not be an easy task for them to return to their true selves.

It might even cause the other two Heavenly Emperors to disappear.

Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

Today, the journey of the three Heavenly Emperors to rediscover their true selves can be seen as the process of all things returning to oneness and going against the natural order.

During this time, they may devour each other.

After all, it is unique because it is one-of-a-kind.

There is no possibility that there would be three beings with similar appearances on the sacrificial path.

Moreover, Li Zhi even suspected that the reason why they were able to revive in that mysterious place, return from extinction, and rise from ruin was not because their cultivation had reached that level.

It was because he looked similar to the patient and there was a great cause and effect relationship between them that he appeared in that mysterious place after death.

Perhaps, that place is essentially the same as the plateau.

However, that place is most likely the place where the patient went from existence to non-existence, and then from non-existence to existence, and was reborn into Nirvana.

The ashes of the sick have the ability to revive the strange ancestors at the sacrificial level.

Then the place where the sick attain Nirvana also has the power to bring the dead back.

From this perspective, there may be no essential difference between the three Heavenly Emperors and the original ancestor of the highlands. It's just that the legacy of the patients they use is different.

The mysterious land of Nirvana did not cause them to mutate because the patients at that time were not yet sick.

The strange ancestor on the plateau actually does not use the energy of the lesion in the original patient's body, but the ashes of the lesion.

Because it is not the original pathological energy, the original ancestor of the plateau can only become a life at the level of sacrifice, and cannot become an existence above the level of sacrifice like the three heavenly emperors.

Perhaps, if the lesions on the patient's body were not burned, they could also create the existence of the sacrificial Tao.

In order to find their true selves and to allow their respective Emperors to return first, whether it was Emperor Huang's people, Emperor Ye's people, or Chu Feng's people, they might have already prepared to conquer each other.

The ruthless emperor, on the other hand, completely severed the connection between himself and the patient through the method of annihilation.

At the same time, for the sake of fairness, the ruthless emperor prevented the relatives and friends of Huang, Ye, and Chu who lived in otherworldly places from interfering in the evolution of this ancient history to a certain extent.

However, even the most perfect isolation has loopholes.

At that time, the patients chose to commit suicide and wanted to return to nothingness completely, but they were summoned from nothingness by people in later generations through grand sacrifices time and time again.

The disciples of the three Heavenly Emperors will never let their respective Heavenly Emperors return to nothingness, and will definitely find ways to provide help.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly felt that things were becoming interesting.

In the end, are Emperor Huang Tian's subordinates more powerful, or are Emperor Ye Tian's subordinates more fierce, or are Emperor Chu Tian's subordinates more ruthless.

Li Zhi suddenly had other guesses about the fact that various emperors in the Ziwei ancient universe would be cursed.

Perhaps, the reason why Heaven has become a taboo is not a problem with Heaven itself, but that some people took the opportunity to collect and accumulate the fruits of Heavenly Emperor's Taoism and the good fortune of Heavenly Emperor.

The reason why the Qiyun Divine Dynasty was allowed to do so was not only because it was relatively excellent, but also because it wanted to use their hands to collect merits and luck.

Otherwise it would be impossible, all the heavens since ancient times have collapsed.

The Lords of Heaven were all dead.

I just don’t know who is the person in charge of the affairs of the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain?
Is it Ye Fan's eldest disciple Ye Tong who attempted to descend here from the otherworldly land, or is it the empress of the Golden Crow clan?

Otherwise, the Demon Court controlled by the Golden Crow Clan and the God Court controlled by the Sun Saint Emperor would not have become mortal enemies.

The Jinwu clan was the villains during the reign of Emperor Ye Tian.

But it was not the case during the reign of Emperor Huang Tian.

Even the descendants of the Emperor of Heaven from the Jinwu clan once controlled the Sun God Tree, which was promoted to the World Tree, to help Emperor Huang Tian resist the murderous intentions of the Immortal King. Although they were defeated and eventually fled, they did make a real move.

Given Emperor Huang Tian's character of repaying favors, he would never regard the Jinwu clan as an enemy.

Sure enough, when Li Changshou came from the Sun God Court to the hostile Great Sun Demon Court, he got a positive answer.

The Great Sun Demon Court, like the Sun God Court, is a holy court disguised as the Celestial Empire.

Moreover, the master of the Demon Court at this time is a great demon who has attained enlightenment through the Sun God Vine. At the same time, the Demon Emperor who founded the Great Sun Demon Court is a female demon from the Three-legged Golden Crow clan.

Like the first Holy Emperor of the Sun God Court, the Demon Queen disappeared shortly after she founded the Great Sun Demon Court.

Today, the struggle between the Sun God Court and the Sun Demon Court has been inherited since ancient times.

No one can do anything to the other.

Moreover, the main evolution method inherited by the Sun God Court is the evolution method created by Ye Fan in the past.

The main evolutionary law practiced by the demons in the Great Sun Demon Court is the present-day law that Emperor Huang Tian practiced.

What surprised Li Zhi was that the human body secret realm method created by Emperor Huang Tian seemed to no longer be popular.

But soon, Li Zhi understood the reason behind it.

The Human Body Secret Realm Method seems powerful, but in fact, if one cannot use the body as a seed, it does not have an overwhelming advantage compared to other cultivation systems.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to cultivate the secret realm of the human body into an independent Tao seed that is not affected by the heaven and earth.

The reason why Li Zhi was able to cultivate his body as a seed was not because of his amazing talent, but because of the cruel environment of the Shrouding Heaven Universe at that time.

In the perfect period when the cultivation environment is more superior, the power of the universe and the earth is far stronger than in the era of Shrouding the Sky. If one wants to use his body as a seed, the heavenly tribulation he will face will also be more powerful.

Since the ancient era of immortals, countless peerless geniuses have been born in the primitive ancient world.

But apart from Emperor Huang Tian who truly succeeded in using his body as a seed, no one else succeeded.

Meng Tianzheng, the great elder of Tianshen Academy, had only completed half of the task.

Although the emperors of the Shrouding Heaven era cultivated the five secret realms of the human body, none of them truly cultivated to the level where their body was not affected by the environment of heaven and earth.

Otherwise, those emperors would not need to yearn for the fairyland.

You won’t even be trapped in this world and unable to leave.

Precisely because their great path is still affected by the outside universe, they can only hide in the forbidden zone of life and wait for the path to immortality to open.

After figuring out some things, Li Zhi suddenly became full of hope for the future.

There is a secret hope that the disciples of the three Heavenly Emperors will be able to break through the barrier of the Henren Emperor as soon as possible and intervene in the evolution of this ancient history as much as possible.

After all, the deeper the cause and effect with the past, the more difficult it is for them to find their true self.

The more beneficial it is to Li Zhi.

Moreover, the cultivation method of the Qiyun Divine Dynasty is obviously based on the method of Forging Heaven that he created based on his ideas.

The more perfect this method develops, the more benefits Li Changshou, as the source of this method, can obtain.

Afterwards, Li Changshou went to the most powerful Divine Court on the ancient Ziwei Star to look for the whereabouts of "Casting Heaven Court".

When the ruthless emperor opened up this world, he took the opportunity to integrate his evolutionary ideas into the laws of heaven and earth, and now the time has come for it to bear fruit.

Perhaps, by finding the source, we can lift the emperor's curse on this world.

Let the law of the Qiyun Divine Dynasty be fully spread across the heavens and all realms, instead of being squeezed on the small Ziwei Ancient Star.

Unfortunately, just when Li Changshou was about to leave, the Great Sun Demon Court suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Sun God Court.

Afterwards, Li Changshou was drawn into the war.
