The beginning of the story: Tracing back to the empress, my qualifications to be the emperor

Chapter 180: One step, one era; Little girl comes from the future; The foundation of the Tao is established, and the three corpses emerge (7k)

The wind blew across the earth, making a whining sound. The former battlefield was very cold, lifeless, without vegetation, like a dead tomb area.

Countless strong men are buried here, and countless heroes have died here.

However, all the corpses were gone, either sunk into the soil or completely decayed.

Time can erase everything. Even the once great genius or supreme overlord will find it difficult to struggle and resist the passage of time.

It’s too long ago. In the past, a true immortal died here, and the blood of immortals was spilled on the mountains and rivers, causing many mountains and valleys to be dark red that never fades.

The color tone is very depressing. Standing here makes it difficult to breathe. You can vaguely feel the tragic grandeur of history. The vicissitudes of those years are simply suffocating!

An era has passed and everything has changed.

At the foot of the mountain, Shi Hao stood alone, without moving for a long time. He was like a fossil that had experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and was now buried in the dust.

The cold wind blew up the corners of his clothes and lifted his black hair, revealing a handsome face, and bringing his thoughts away from the scattered old events on the stone wall.

"Who do you think won that battle?" The young man turned around and looked at the golden ant that stood up on his shoulder.

"It should be the mysterious genius from later generations, the young human named Mu Wushuang." The golden creature on his shoulder responded.

"Really?" The young man squatted down and picked up the snow-white skull on the ground.

The old story of the stone wall ended at the last and most crucial moment, that unparalleled battle. Perhaps except for the two heroes from the two worlds who were known to be unparalleled in the world, no one knew what the final outcome of the battle would be.

"Mu Wushuang must have won."

The golden ant said firmly again.

"should be."

Shi Hao turned his head, as if he saw the anger and determination in the golden ant's eyes, and nodded secretly.

Perhaps, in Shi Hao's own heart, he also hopes that the genius of later generations named Mu Wushuang can win.

Chi!
They jumped into the mountains and quickly climbed up the majestic sacred mountain.

In the past events of Shibi, the unparalleled battle between heroes took place here.

At that time, the place was filled with divine light. Pages of animal skin papers were constantly turning, making rustling sounds. Various scripture symbols were jumping, shocking people.

But now there is nothing left. The mountain is dim and gray, with terrible blood stains. Countless years have passed, but the dark red bloodstains still have not faded.

"No more, where is it?!"

The little ant screamed, is it all in vain in the end?
Shi Hao looked around and found that this place was so desolate. There was no grass or trees, and all life was almost extinct. It was really not easy to see a living creature.

“Has the Immortal Sutra been taken away?” Shi Hao could no longer remain calm. He came here just for this sutra. If he got nothing, it would be really disappointing.

At the end of the ancient era of immortals, two unparalleled heroes climbed this peak. After a battle, the whereabouts of the scriptures here became obvious.

Shi Hao and the little ant released their powerful spiritual sense and searched this place. They even thought about disintegrating the entire mountain and turning it upside down thoroughly.

boom!
The majestic sacred mountain shook, rumbled, and glowed, but it was no longer bright, but a black light, as if it had been eroded by some terrible force.

When this light burst out, it immediately shook Shi Hao and the little ant away.

They did not damage the mountain!

quack!
A crow spread its wings and broke free from the black light. In this desolate place, in this ancient burial ground where many immortal heroes were buried, there was an indescribable sense of foreboding.

"What are you transformed from?" Shi Hao asked.

He didn't believe that this was a real crow, otherwise why would it rush out from the black light?

"Don't attack me. I'm here to explain some doubts to you." The crow sighed, with endless vicissitudes and sadness in his eyes.

This is an ominous bird, but now it does not give people an evil feeling. Instead, it looks like a frustrated person who has wasted endless years, or even a loser, a defeated person.

"What on earth are you? Stop playing tricks!" the sky-horned ant pressed, not quite believing it.

The crow stood on the skull, and behind it, a lot of black mist emerged, and then there was an earth-shaking cry of killing, and then countless figures emerged, one fighting spirit after another!
Black flames surged into the sky.

Bathed in black fog and firelight, the crow looked even more mysterious.

"What you see before you is the real ultimate trial site, which is also one of the ancient battlefields of immortals in the past."

"The corpses and endless blood you saw in the stone wall earlier were real. They were the true appearance of this world after the final battle of this world was lost and it fell into the hands of the foreign race. You saw the corpses of your ancestors and the remains of countless powerful people."

"He Wushuang does exist. He has the title of 'Unparalleled in the World'. He is a leader of the young generation in the foreign lands at the end of the ancient times. He was born to kill the young supreme beings in our world!"

It was just a few short words, but they rumbled in Shi Hao's ears, making his heart shake and tremble!
“At the end of the Immortal Age, was there really such a young human genius from the future who encountered He Wushuang here?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao asked in a deep voice.

"This... I can't be sure either. I only know that an unparalleled war did take place here. However, this mountain is very unusual. It is called the Immortal Peak. Perhaps it can really affect the balance of time and space, forcing a genius from our world in the future to descend here in person and fight a battle with He Wushuang that concerns the fate of the two worlds."

Raven said thoughtfully.

Shi Hao was moved by the crow's words and asked subconsciously:

"A battle concerning the destiny of the two worlds? Is that battle important?"

The crow was bathed in black light and flames. In a trance, it seemed that an immortal being was about to return against the will of heaven in the eyes of Shi Hao and the golden ant, but then Shi Hao and the golden ant's expressions were shocked, and all the strange visions disappeared.

Then, the crow shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"I don't know. Maybe that battle was very important and really affected something in the dark. Maybe it was never important and no one knew about it. I don't know either."

"What was the outcome of that battle? Did the future human genius named Mu Wushuang win? Did He Wushuang die?"

The golden ant on Shi Hao's shoulder straightened up and couldn't help but lean forward, asking impatiently.

"I don't know, but after the battle, someone did reach the top of the mountain and took away the Immortal Sutra. It was most likely He Wushuang, or someone else."

"What?!" the little sky-horned ant screamed.

When the golden little ant thought that He Wushuang might not be dead and took away the Immortal Sutra, he was so angry that he couldn't help but roar. He pounded the mountain hard and cursed He Wushuang thousands of times in his heart, you old immortal.

Shi Hao was also nervous. If it was the genius of the human race in later generations named Mu Wushuang who took away the Immortal Sutra, then it would not be a big deal.

And if the Immortal Sutra was really taken away by He Wushuang, it would definitely be terrible news for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

He is an unparalleled hero in the world. After so many years since the ancient era of immortals, he must have become an unparalleled terrorist.

Perhaps, all nine heavens and ten earths will tremble under his feet. Once that peerless foreign genius named He Wushuang appears again in the future, the consequences will be disastrous.

time!

He really needs time to grow up and needs to catch up as soon as possible!
Shi Hao felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. How could he rise up in a short period of time? How could he quickly climb to the top of the divine way? Otherwise, he was doomed to die in regret and would not be able to achieve anything.

He had no way of enduring time like the others, so he could only achieve ultimate transcendence on his own and complete the journey that others would take endless years to complete in the shortest time!
"The real Immortal Sutra is engraved on this Immortal Peak!" The crow pointed at the huge mountain and suddenly spoke.

It revealed an astonishing secret: the Immortal Sutra was engraved on the mountain. Unless someone truly and thoroughly practiced it, it would remain indestructible and last forever.

The golden animal skin papers that appeared in the old events on the stone wall and on the top of the mountain were all condensed from its runes and were not real tangible animal skins.

"If you want to obtain the Immortal Sutra, you need to be recognized, and you can only read it after finding the 'Sutra Key'!" explained the crow.

Then, under the guidance of the crow, Shi Hao quickly opened the ancient scriptures that had been covered in dust here.

The entire majestic mountain seemed to have life. It quickly revived, began to glow, and showed signs of vitality.

This is a wonderful change!
The bare mountain was originally gray and dull, with a tinge of dark red. It was stained by the blood of immortals billions of years ago and was lifeless.

But now, some tender grass and green vines have appeared on the mountain, breaking through the soil, or even breaking through the stone walls, and are green and gradually flourishing.

boom!
The loud sound of chanting resounded at the top of the mountain, awakening the eyes and making people want to attain enlightenment and fall into the deepest level of understanding, as if they had been enlightened.

The sound of the scriptures is sacred and solemn, as if an immortal creature is preaching there!
Then, above the top of the mountain, several golden animal skins appeared and turned into papers covered with scriptures, which contained infinite mysteries.

Those words are brilliant, just like the shining stars in the sky.

Of course, these are not the point. The point is that at this moment, with the revival of the Immortal Peak, in the eyes of Shi Hao and others, there is a man in green clothes standing alone on the top of the mountain.

At this moment, his brows cracked, and the strange dark corrosion law in them was being erased by an eternal and indestructible force, allowing his dim soul to gradually come to life.

No, these are not the point.

The real point is that the man in green at this moment is clearly in the ancient era of immortals, but it seems that he has crossed an era and endless years and came to the present world, facing Shi Hao and others.

Boom!
suddenly!

Accompanied by a dull sound, an eternal light came from the unknown, making all time stand still. They felt as if this place had become independent from the years of time.

At the same time, Shi Hao opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Because he saw several small paper boats, coming from far away and then approaching, all stained with blood and with words written on them, drifting in this time channel.

The writing is blurry and can't be seen clearly.

Click!
A shocking bolt of lightning struck, accompanied by the most dazzling light, and a figure emerged in the distance, approaching, her clothes fluttering, and she was extremely graceful and elegant. She was approaching!

She was extremely graceful and charming. When she entered this place, she stopped in the passage constructed by the infinite law of time and came quickly. Her charm was so captivating that people would never forget it at first sight.

"Is it her?"

The White-robed Empress once saved him on the immortal battlefield!
Three years ago, in that ruins, a giant from the other side of the world stood at the end of the long river of time, separated by eternity, and attacked downstream.

At that time, there was a beautiful woman in white, who was extremely powerful.

When I got closer, I finally saw her. When the misty fairy fog dissipated, her face became blurry. Finally, a jade disc-shaped object appeared between her eyebrows. The magic weapon seemed to have life, controlling the origin of the three thousand great ways.

After all, I still didn't see her true face, but just a glance at her was enough to make my heart tremble. "Brother Wu."

A vague voice came from an unknown time and space.

At this moment, Shi Hao's doubts reached their peak. Although this graceful figure in white was almost the same as the former empress in white, she gave him the feeling that they were two different people.

"Are you little girl?"

At this time, the man in green standing quietly on the top of the mountain spoke. This was the first time that Shi Hao and the Sky-Horned Ant heard the voice of the young man in green so clearly. It was a completely different feeling from the old events on the stone wall, a bit childish.

"Wrong time, wrong place, right person. One step, one era, time will eventually erase everything, leaving no trace, and eternity will be empty."

One step, one era, and eternity is empty. This is really shocking!

Let alone realization, this kind of spirit is enough to make people stunned.

At this time, the man in green looked up and found that the woman in white was becoming more and more blurred and farther away.

He knew that this was because there were so many years and endless epochs between them!
This made him very confused. One step, one era. How did the little girl, who was the fruit of the female emperor, come here and meet him? What kind of power did she have? It was unprecedented in history. Was she an Immortal King? Quasi-Immortal Emperor? Or Immortal Emperor?

He thought of the sudden arrival of the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, and it was the same. It seemed that someone had found him and needed his help, so they came to the Immortal Ancient Era for a battle.

Stirring up the long river of time, shaking the years and space, the eternity is like a picture scroll.

Such a grand gesture exceeded everyone's imagination.

With one last sigh, the woman in white became blurred, and at the same time, the passage became unstable.

boom!
The next moment, it seemed as if the world was about to collapse.

Then, with a click and a cracking sound, a crack appeared on the jade disc-shaped object between the eyebrows of the woman in white, and it was about to split into two halves!
With a loud bang, the world shook violently. The young man in green felt a huge attraction and fell powerlessly into the time tunnel.

At the last moment, he only saw the figure of the woman in white disappear, and a drop of blood fell, and then everything disappeared.

At this moment, Mu Wushuang wanted to scream, wanted to imprint the mark he had touched in his heart, and did not want to forget it, but as the time channel faded away, an inexplicable force surged.

In the void, there seemed to be an invisible blade, slashing down mercilessly.

Time is merciless. Just as the nameless knife was about to fall, the Eye of Samsara in the depths of Mu Wushuang's sea of ​​consciousness, which had always been as majestic as Mount Tai, moved.

A warm and gentle light melted the nameless sword of unknown power, and then everything was as if nothing had happened. The Eye of Samsara continued to flow as before, unchanged forever.

Downstream of the long river of time, post-ancient times——

In the silent Bajing Palace, Mu Wushuang's figure appeared there silently, as if he had never left.

A breeze blew across his face in the Bajing Palace, lifting the corners of his clothes and lifting his black hair, revealing a unique face. He was lost in thought, letting his thoughts wander in the long river of time.

"Have you come back?" Mu Wushuang said to himself. It was hard to tell whether his face showed joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. There was a sense of melancholy, regret, confusion and reminiscence in his calmness.

After the battle in the Ancient Immortal Era, he felt as if there was something extra on his body.

This feeling is just like the moment when the first life of the ruthless Emperor Tuntian fell into chaos, except that this feeling is clearer.

Compared to the Holy Spirit's Son of Heaven and Earth, he seemed to have a feeling of becoming the Son of the Tao.

At the same time, crossing the era, traversing the long river of time, and stepping into the eternal time and space, he has a deeper understanding of the concepts of the past, present and future.

Now, he has already initially acquired the foundation to become a saint by slaying the three corpses, and he only needs to take that step.

There is also a torn upper part of the "Immortal Sutra", which originally had four pages of golden paper, but it seems that due to the travel through time and space, only the first three pages are left, and the fourth page is missing, which is the upper part of the Immortal Path Volume.

But even so, the value of this scripture is still unimaginable. It surpasses all imperial scriptures and is truly an invincible method.

Of course, this is not the whole harvest.

The gains from this trip are so great that they cannot be described in words.

Time is the most mysterious and unpredictable force. In some classics, this force has always been called the most powerful law.

However, this experience made him realize that time never exists alone.

In the long river of time and space, there are cause and effect, destiny, and time. They exist in parallel and intersect with each other. They are closely related, and it is impossible to isolate any one of them and discuss it alone.

Even the Red King, known as the Beast of Time, who stands in the realm of the Immortal King, cannot really do whatever he wants in the long river of time. He is still bound by cause and effect and fate.

There is a reason why those truly strong people never believe in fate.

Why can't the Red King truly change history?

Because of the so-called cause and effect? ​​Or fate?
This statement is not wrong, but it is not accurate. To be precise, it is bound by the cause and effect and fate of the stronger ones.

The Red King was able to kill those geniuses only because he was strong enough, but when he tried to wipe out Shi Hao who had not yet grown up, he suffered a backlash, because the future Shi Hao would be the Emperor Huang Tian.

The same is true for the Corpse Immortal Emperor. If he did not want to change the past of Emperor Desolate Sky Shi Hao, would a dignified Immortal Emperor not even have this ability to manipulate the river of time and change history?

After all, it’s because of our own lack of strength.

Coming back to his senses, Mu Wushuang was dreaming of traveling to the ancient fairyland, and what he gained was far more than just some knowledge about time concepts such as the past, present and future.

"Karma, fate!!"

Mu Wushuang activated the God and Demon Eye and looked towards the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea, or the original chaotic cave heaven today. He could feel that the time branch of the past was now surrounded by mysterious aura, which was hazy and impossible to see through.

Even if Mu Wushuang used his God and Demon Eye to its maximum extent, he still couldn't see through it.

As the master of the time branch, Mu Wushuang is now unable to control this time branch.

At its deepest point, some strange changes seem to be taking place, as if some astonishing creation is being conceived.

Mu Wushuang felt that it should be a kind of Tao fruit representing himself. As his cultivation level improved, one day, this Tao fruit would mature and bloom with infinite brilliance.

In addition to these, Mu Wushuang also clearly felt that in its deepest part, there were some extraordinary things hidden.

That was an inexplicable and indescribable gain that Mu Wushuang gained during his journey to the ancient fairyland.

Among them, there is a strong force of destiny and cause and effect, which wraps it up. At this moment, Mu Wushuang has no ability to mobilize or activate it.

Perhaps only when the fog dissipates and Mu Wushuang truly takes control of the tributaries of time, will he be able to control and dominate all of this.

"With such a strong force of destiny and cause and effect, could it spontaneously generate cause and effect and destiny? Would it turn into a long river of time and space?"

Mu Wushuang thought about it for a long time and felt that this was very possible.

These forces of destiny and cause and effect were all concluded by Mu Wushuang after he traveled far to the ancient immortal world and those special beings who were capable of leaving their divine names in eternity.

However, even if this is really possible, Mu Wushuang feels that it will not take a short time.

After all, at this stage, what is inside Mu Wushuang's body is nothing more than a tributary of time, which is a little illusory. What it can carry is actually limited. For the time being, it is unable to carry the power of laws such as cause and effect and destiny that are related to the world's taboos.

Only when this tributary of time becomes truly real can it carry the power of cause and effect, and destiny.

As for how to make it real, in theory it is not difficult. We only need to cut out the section of the long river of time and space in the world of Shrouding the Sky that belongs to Mu Wushuang.

After thinking for a while, Mu Wushuang decided not to worry about these things anymore.

It is too early for him to think about things like fate, cause and effect, and the long river of time and space.

The road needs to be taken step by step, footprints need to be taken one by one, and don't be too ambitious.

The most important thing for him now is to understand the method of beheading the three corpses, condense the three pure Dharma images, and then become a saint.

After Mu Wushuang closed his eyes and meditated for several days, all the discomfort and abnormalities were eliminated, and his mind became clear again.

At this moment, around him, a vast universe seemed to be displayed, and the external world of the evolving virtue and fortune was manifested. At the same time, the internal universe seemed to overlap with the secret realm of the human body, as if they were one, yet seemed to exist in different dimensions.

The vast world outside surrounds Mu Wushuang, with the two yin and yang, four images, eight trigrams and nine palaces formations displayed in it.

At this moment, in the external world, the virtual and the real coexist, symbolizing the "real" part, which echoes with the secret realm of the human body, exchanging energy with me, and interpreting the basis of survival.

The part that symbolizes "void" corresponds to the inner universe. The innate eight trigrams and the eight scenes of Xuandu together perform the meaning of existence. In the dark, it seems that a vast world is derived from it.

At the same time, in the center of Mu Wushuang's dantian, a very ancient, weak but majestic truth was emerging, embracing everything, evolving everything, and serving as the original foundation.

Life and death, yin and yang, reality and emptiness, everything innate and acquired, visible and invisible are all included in it.

This is the place where his inner and outer worlds meet, the core of Tao, and the original cave heaven.

Suddenly, the original cave opened up, as if a chaotic world had evolved.

At the same time, the Eight Scenes of Xuandu evolve inside, and the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces manifest outside, one inside and one outside, echoing each other.

At this moment, Mu Wushuang seemed as if his soul had left his body, flying through one space after another of time, wandering among the eternal heavens.

Above his head, primordial chaos immortal light evaporated and turned into a primordial chaos blue lotus, producing three lotus stamens. The three Qi of Xuan, Yuan and Shi shone brightly. Time, cause and effect, years, yin and yang, the future, etc. flowed and revolved in it. Three illusory figures were looming in it.

The lotus core on the left has not changed, and there is a little man sitting cross-legged, as if he was sitting in the past.

On the lotus core in the middle, there was a little man sitting cross-legged, but he was locked by a strand of primordial energy and it was difficult for him to break free.

In addition, a slightly blurry figure began to sit cross-legged on the lotus core on the right side. It looked very unreal, with uncertain brightness!

At the same time, a strange branch of time appeared in Mu Wushuang's body, dazzling and blinding, emerging from his body.

At this moment, the tributaries of time began to solidify, as if they were about to transform into a long river of time and space, surging with supreme power, shaking the past and present.

In a ten-millionth of a second, Mu Wushuang underwent a strange change!

That tributary of time expanded and then suddenly shrank, swaying above the chaotic green lotus above his head and flowing through the three lotus pods.

On the first lotus core, the little man who seemed to be born in the past suddenly opened his eyes, becoming more and more mysterious, and standing in the past!
On the second lotus core, the little man who was locked up by the primordial energy struggled hard and unexpectedly gained freedom from the shackles. He was entangled by the primordial energy and stayed in the present moment!
Above the third lotus core, the blurry figure sitting cross-legged on it became clearer than before, shaking the heaven and earth, flowing down along with the tributaries of time, and settling in the future!
