The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 528 Obtaining Heavenly Merit to Cultivate Imperial Weapons

The Demon Emperor's Mausoleum has completely collapsed.

Along with a dozen or so other continents nearby, it was all reduced to ruins, becoming interstellar dust, leaving nothing behind.

In the starry sky, figures stood.

I gazed at everything before me, my mind churning with emotion.

A major war is still raging.

Some cultivators who had made gains in the imperial tombs were well aware of the dangers of possessing a treasure.

Like Ye Fan in the original novel, they are fleeing into the depths of the starry sky, wanting to leave this star field as soon as possible and digest their gains in the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

When the Demon Emperor's Tomb completely collapsed, Longma and the Holy Spirit Dragon also rushed out of the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

The commotion they caused was astonishing; it was truly a trail of sparks and lightning, frightening all the saints into retreating in panic.

They were treated like plague gods, and all the saints avoided them, fearing they might be tainted by them.

Both the Holy Spirit Dragon and the Dragon Horse received great fortune left behind by the Demon Emperor's mount.

This further enhanced their own essence, causing their cultivation to break through, which in turn attracted the tribulation that brought them to break through the minor realm.

To be precise, apart from Lu Zhou, these two probably received the greatest fortune from this trip to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Before long, Lu Zhou and the others returned to the ruined city.

As everyone expected, the events that occurred in the Demon Emperor's Tomb spread throughout the Ruins City and the Star Ruins in a very short time.
Eventually, the news spread throughout the entire ancient road of the human race, and even to some other ancient roads of other races.

Some have calculated that, not to mention the cultivators below the Great Saint level, nearly a dozen Great Saint-level experts perished on this trip to the imperial tombs.

Among them are the Stone Saint Spirit, the mysterious Black-Robed Great Saint of the Underworld, and the Supreme Evil God of the Alien Race, who are all supreme Great Saints who are only half a step away from breaking into the Quasi-Emperor realm.

The name of the Overlord Immortal Lu Zhou once again shook the entire ancient road!
For a long time afterward, the focus of the cultivators' discussions was almost entirely related to the Overlord Immortal.

for example!

[The Immortal Slays Seven Great Sages in Succession!]

[Terrifying! Three supreme saints, each only half a step away from breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm, were all slain by the Overlord Immortal in a single day!]

[The biggest winner from the Demon Emperor's Tomb—the Overlord Immortal!]

[The Demon Emperor's Ruler has fallen into the hands of the Overlord Immortal!]

[Qi Tian, ​​the protector of the ancient road, and Liu Mingde, the enforcer of the law, both knowingly broke the law and attempted to harm the supreme immortal of our human race. They were swiftly dealt with by the immortal!]

[A grand purge takes place in the Demon Emperor's tomb; the Overlord Immortal alone subdues all the saints!]

Topics like these, if picked out randomly, would be headlines on the ancient human path.

The might of the Overlord on the ancient road has become truly unparalleled.

Besides these, the two-on-one battles between Ye Fan and Kane, as well as Di Tian and Hun Zhan, the four young supreme beings, are also a hot topic of discussion among many cultivators.

Although it couldn't match the level of discussion surrounding the Overlord Immortal, it still spread throughout the entire ancient road of the human race in a very short time.

"That bastard Hun Zhan has finally been taken down. I've been wanting to get rid of him for a long time."

"As it turns out, in a fair fight, the Heavenly Tyrant Body is indeed no match for the Holy Body!"

"Perhaps all the past examples of the Overlord Body defeating the Holy Body, just like the Holy Overlord War that broke out at the fiftieth level 100,000 years ago, have had inside stories that were deliberately concealed!"

I think that's very likely.

Countless cultivators applauded the fact that Hun Zhan had been defeated by Ye Fan and killed by him.

This is because Lu Zhou revealed some truths many years ago, making many cultivators realize the shamefulness of the Overlord Body lineage.

It was also because Hun Zhan had been too domineering and arrogant ever since he embarked on this ancient trial path, offending many cultivators and making many enemies.

Countless cultivators had long wished to fight to the death in the streets.

However, they were no match for Hun Zhan, as their fighting strength was not as great.

Now that they know that Hun Zhan has finally been defeated, and by the Holy Body in particular, crushed to a pulp in front of everyone, one can only imagine how happy those who wanted Hun Zhan to die a miserable death must have been.

"What's going on with Di Tian?"

"I heard that he didn't die in the Demon Emperor's Tomb that day. After Holy Knight Kane defeated Di Tian, ​​he didn't kill Di Tian, ​​but was instead imprisoned by Ba Xian."

"I heard that it was Di Tian who provoked Ba Xian first, conspiring with Hun Zhan, Qi Tian, ​​and others to not only scheme against the saints at the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, but also to frame Ba Xian for their plot against the saints."

"Why didn't Ba Xian and the others just kill Di Tian directly?"

Many cultivators have this question when discussing Di Tian.

Someone speculated.

"Perhaps it's because what use would Ba Xian have for Di Tian?"

"Perhaps the Overlord Immortal felt that Di Tian was indeed a rare young supreme being among our human race, and therefore pitied Di Tian's talent, unable to bear killing him directly, and planned to recruit him for his own use."

"Perhaps"

Many cultivators have offered various speculations about this issue.

Even worse, some people have even connected completely unreliable gossip from years ago.

They maliciously speculated and slandered Lu Zhou and others in private!

"I heard that Di Tian and Qing Shi were once very close. Many years ago, they were often seen together. They had secretly become Daoist partners and were always whispering sweet nothings to each other while cultivating together."

"If it weren't for that, Qing Shi wouldn't have helped Di Tian so much many years ago. No matter what good things happened, she always thought of Di Tian as a share!"

"Later, Qing Shi saw that Lu Zhou was far more outstanding than Di Tian, ​​so she used her beauty to immediately switch her allegiance to Lu Zhou's bed."

"But some things, once they happen, will eventually leave some traces."

"Lu Zhou must have heard about some of the things that happened between Qing Shi and Di Tian. He might have been holding a grudge about it all along!"

"Just think about it, who is Lu Zhou? He is a powerful immortal who is famous throughout the ancient road, suppressing all the young supreme beings, as well as the guides, enforcers and protectors of the ancient road, and they dare not utter a word!"

"With his status, how could he possibly allow his woman to have had other men before!"

"After something like this happened, it's impossible for Lu Zhou not to have any resentment or thoughts in his heart!"

"At least I can't accept it!"

"Now that Di Tian has fallen into Lu Zhou's hands, Lu Zhou will naturally not kill Di Tian so easily!"

"It's possible that Lu Zhou had already prepared various ways to torture Di Tian to vent his anger!"

"What's more, besides Di Tian, ​​Lu Zhou's current Daoist partner Qing Shi might also be among those he resents!"

Needless to say, those little haters who are spreading such rumors and slander behind the scenes are definitely people who are jealous and hate Lu Zhou and Qing Shi, or who have some grudge against them.

Nowadays, there are many people who admire Lu Zhou and Qing Shi.

Ultimately, however, not everyone desires the Imperial Scripture or Imperial Weapon.

It's impossible for them to be liked and admired by all living beings in the world.

Not to mention on this ancient road, even in the Big Dipper or the ancient star Gouchen, there are many people who secretly plot against Lu Zhou and Qing Shi.

I still remember many years ago, there were still haters of Lu Zhou who made up stories that Lu Zhou raped Wan Chu Saintess in front of Wan Chu Saint Son!

Haters are just haters; they'll never amount to anything.

Especially now that Ba Xian's power is too great, no one dares to challenge him. Many haters only dare to mutter such things to themselves.

They simply dared not spread it widely.

Otherwise, the entire ancient road would likely face a major purge.

Few people know that Di Tian didn't actually live a few days longer than Hun Zhan.

On that day, the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum collapsed, and Lu Zhou and the others returned to the Ruins City together.

Pang Bo, Lu Zhou, and Ye Fan hadn't seen each other for many years, so the three of them naturally wanted to catch up.

The aroma of wine filled the air atop the Nebula Tower. They embraced wine jars and drank heartily, chatting and laughing as they went.

It was both a celebration of the reunion of old friends and brothers, and a celebration of the great gains they made on their trip to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

For the next few days, they stayed in the ruined city for a short rest.

During this time, Lu Zhou had already used the God-Saving Technique created by the Empress to convert Di Tian.

He obtained from Di Tian the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Skill created by the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Venerable, as well as some secrets and creations that Di Tian had learned in his life.

For example, the Source of Dao, which Di Tian has always treasured like the back of his hand.

After getting what he wanted from Di Tian, ​​Lu Zhou simply killed Di Tian.

It gave Di Tian a quick and painless end.

After dealing with Di Tian, ​​Lu Zhou sat cross-legged on the platform of the Wuji Dojo and then took out the Demon Emperor Ruler.

They began attempting to repair the Demon Emperor Ruler.

When the Demon Emperor Ruler accompanied the Demon Emperor on his conquest of the Immortal Path, it broke into five pieces.

Moreover, the deities associated with the Demon Emperor Ruler have been completely obliterated. Fortunately, all the fragments of the Demon Emperor Ruler are together, and within these fragments, the almost complete Dao principles of the Demon Emperor are still preserved.

This situation is undoubtedly much better than the Fuxi Stele, which was shattered into countless pieces scattered everywhere, and even the imperial principles of Fuxi were almost completely obliterated.

Lu Zhou transferred the divine spirit of the Imperial Weapon that he had signed in at the forty-ninth trial site into the Demon Emperor Ruler.

He is like a newborn baby, like a blank canvas, waiting for someone to paint on it.

In the future, He will completely replace the original, extinguished deity of the Demon Emperor's army and become the new deity of the Demon Emperor's army.

He will inherit the Dao of the Demon Emperor.

After imbuing the soldier's spirit into the Demon Emperor Ruler, Lu Zhou soaked the Demon Emperor Ruler in the Kunlun Immortal Elixir.

This is a divine liquid that was once used to nourish and repair the Immortal Cauldron, and it has miraculous effects in repairing imperial weapons.

This point was already confirmed when Lu Zhou and Feng Huang were repairing the Fuxi Imperial Stele together.

Now, Lu Zhou has very little Kunlun Immortal Elixir left, just enough to cover the Demon Emperor Ruler.

It seems that before the Demon Emperor Ruler can be repaired, this last bit of Kunlun Immortal Elixir will be completely exhausted.

At the same time, Lu Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the platform, began to chant the Demon Emperor Scripture and perform the Demon Emperor Law in front of the Demon Emperor Ruler and the Soul God.

This can accelerate the repair speed of the Demon Emperor's soldiers to some extent.

This was also confirmed when he and Fenghuang repaired the Fuxi Imperial Stele.

However, even with all the methods Lu Zhou has used, it will still take him a considerable amount of time to completely repair the Demon Emperor Ruler.

Lu Zhou estimated that it would take at least several decades, or even a hundred years!

Moreover, during this process, he would need to continuously provide a lot of the essence of heaven and earth, which would consume a lot of his divine source, as well as other divine spring water he had collected.

But it's all worth it.

The benefits that a complete Supreme Emperor Weapon can bring are self-evident.

Not to mention, it was a demon emperor's soldier who fought alongside the demon emperor on the path to immortality.

The fact that the Demon Emperor was able to force his way into the Path to Immortality before it manifested on its own demonstrates his strength, which far surpasses that of ordinary ancient emperors!

Similarly, a perfectly intact demon emperor weapon is definitely stronger than those ordinary ancient emperor weapons.

After resting in the ruined city for a few days, both Ye Fan and Lu Zhou were ready to set off again.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo both stated that they did not intend to continue the trials along the main path of the human race in a step-by-step manner.

In other words, they do not intend to follow the order of the human race's ancient path and proceed through the levels one after another.

Recently, there have been rumors that the young supreme beings of the ancient paths, such as the Human King and the Great Demon God, have once again embarked on some golden ancient paths to hone themselves.

Only the Golden Ancient Road is the most suitable place for beings of their level.

In comparison, the main road of the ancient human race's path really doesn't have much of a tempering effect on these young supreme beings.

Star Ruins is actually a golden secret realm on the ancient golden road.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the twelve saints including Long Ma all planned to continue walking on the Golden Ancient Road and did not intend to return to the main road of the Human Race Ancient Road for the time being.

This is related to Lu Zhou's

Our plans differ.

Lu Zhou carefully recalled the plot of the original novel.

In the original work, the most noteworthy part of Ye Fan's subsequent cultivation journey is the star with the nine engraved diagrams left by the woodcutter.

It was a star that was extremely suppressed by the Great Dao, and there wasn't a single native cultivator on the entire star.

Besides this star, the next stop is the Seven Golden Cities, which connect to the Bitter Sea Life Spring of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, as well as the Other Shore of Gods and the Five Elements Continent.

Across a full ten years, only that star with nine engravings was described briefly in the original work.

Everything else was glossed over.

There really isn't much to say about that.

Under these circumstances, Lu Zhou felt that there was really no need for him to go on this trip with Emperor Ye.

A full ten years is enough time for him to travel to many places and sign up for many things.

Thinking like this.

After a while.

Lu Zhou then spoke to Ye Fan, Qing Shi, and the others.

"My practice is different from yours!"

"I'm going to go back to the main road for a walk!"

"Perhaps it will even cross the ancient road of foreign tribes!"

"And now, the ancient golden road is indeed the most suitable choice for you to be tested and tempered!"

"Let's part ways here. You can all go on the Golden Ancient Road, while I'll wander around by myself!"

"Ten years from now, we'll meet again in the Seven Golden Cities, where a great opportunity awaits us."

Qing Shi, Ye Fan, and the others all agreed with Lu Zhou's suggestion.

They all knew that with Lu Zhou's current cultivation level and combat strength, there were probably few places left on this ancient road where he could hone his skills.

Lu Zhou could actually choose any path, even one that led to the ancient trial path of the alien races.

But they can't do it yet.

For Lu Zhou, traveling alone is the best option.

To be honest, although they could get a lot of benefits and good fortune by following Lu Zhou, they also had plenty of opportunities to eat and travel with him.

However, it must be said that, unintentionally, they also miss out on many opportunities to be tempered and refined.

Take, for example, this trip to the Demon Emperor's Tomb.

Basically, it was a process of Lu Zhou single-handedly dominating the entire field.

Aside from Kane still looking a bit rough around the edges.

Even Ye Fan, who had fought against Di Tian, ​​felt like Qing Shi and the others that he was just there to coast along.
After others saw their relationship with Lu Zhou, they generally avoided them intentionally, and no one dared to provoke or target them.

Even though they knew they had stolen a lot of the Medicine King's herbs, including those Great Sages, no one came to hunt them down.
Compared to the original novel's plot about the Demon Emperor's Tomb, Ye Fan and his companions really do seem to have been slacking off.

If this situation continues, they will certainly benefit greatly from following Lu Zhou.

But in reality, they also lack experience and training.

And in this world.

Any cultivator who wants to achieve something, reach the peak, and walk their path more steadily cannot have good fortune alone, but must also undergo trials and tribulations!
They made a promise to meet again in the Seven Golden Cities ten years later.

After making their decision, they parted ways directly in the ruins.

Lu Zhou was not the only one who traveled alone.

Both Kane and Hongluan chose to embark on their trials alone.

As in the original story, Qing Shi is with her maid Ling'er.

They continued their trials on the ancient golden road.

King Shengpeng set off with his eighteen holy generals and Xu Li.

During their stay in the ruined city, the relationship between Saint Peng King and Xu Li warmed up rapidly.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that it's only a matter of time before the two of them become Daoist partners.

When Xu Li's father learned that it was King Shengpeng who saved his precious daughter's life, he immediately felt much more favorably toward King Shengpeng and was extremely grateful.

At the same time, he has always been very clear about his feelings for his beloved daughter.

Xu Li's father was also very satisfied with having Shengpeng Wang as his son-in-law.

After all, judging from the current situation, there are really not many people on this ancient road who are more outstanding than the Holy Peng King.

Furthermore, behind the Holy Peng King stood the Overlord Immortal Lu Zhou.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense should know what to do.

It seems this marriage is now settled.

Otherwise, Xu Li's father wouldn't have allowed her to travel with the Holy Peng King.

In the end, only Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Long Ma, and the other twelve saints remained.

The same cast and crew as the original work.

It's just unknown whether the routes they traveled this time were the same as those in the original story.
