The Fuxi Road of the Heavens Beginning from the Immortal Realm

Chapter 262 Escaping the Sea of ​​Suffering
Donghuang Taiyi, one of the products of the Daoist's subtraction and pursuit of emptiness, was born from the incomplete spiritual light after the fall of Huang Laojun. He ascended to the other shore in the primordial era and was known as one of the Three Sovereigns of the Primordial Era, along with Fuhuang and Haotian Shangdi.

In the ancient struggle for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, Donghuang Taiyi was defeated by Haotian Shangdi and ultimately died at Haotian Shangdi's hands.

Afterwards, the Jade Emperor used the essence and blood of Donghuang Taiyi and himself to water the Fusang Ancient Tree, wanting to use their authority and the Great Dao to cultivate a tree similar to the Jianmu Tree that could support the entire universe and bear the destiny of 'the end of the era and the collapse of the Heavenly Emperor' in his place.

In the end, He succeeded, and He failed.

The ancient emperor Haotian Shangdi perished with the destruction of the ancient era, but he left behind a wisp of spiritual light containing his own obsession, which was reincarnated into this era and transformed into the ancient thunder god, also known as the demon Buddha Ananda.

After the destruction of the Primordial Era, the Fusang Ancient Tree, due to its unique characteristics, did not perish with the destruction of the era. Instead, it absorbed the nutrients from the time of the previous era's collapse and merged with the creative vitality and the wood element of the Five Elements at the beginning of this era, thereby giving birth to a primordial deity who holds the power over the wood element and vitality.

When Feng Yi traveled to this realm, he used his own Dao of Change treasure to shake the very origin of spacetime in this realm, integrating his many imprints into the past and future of the spacetime river of this realm, thus becoming a part of this realm.

One of the marks related to the Azure Emperor Taihao arrived at the beginning of this era through some mysterious connection, merging with the innate deity being nurtured on the Fusang Divine Tree, and over the long years, it transformed into the Azure Emperor Taihao himself.

However, because he did not want to attract the attention of the other beings on the other side, he had not been truly awakened until the current point in time when he truly understood himself.

It can be said that the foundation of Feng Yi's body, the Azure Emperor Taihao, comes from the authority and the Great Dao of the two ancient emperors, Donghuang Taiyi and Haotian Shangdi.

Now, having merged the fragments of the Haotian Mirror and the Eastern Emperor Bell, and obtained the flesh and blood of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Azure Emperor's body has received the most essential replenishment and perfection.

As the roots of the Chaos Green Lotus, which he had transformed into, penetrated into the flesh and blood of the Eastern Emperor, and began to absorb the authority and the Great Dao contained within, the mind of the Azure Emperor stirred slightly, and he felt as if he had directly appeared in a new world.

This is an ancient and vast world, with layers upon layers of immortal realms densely packed together, surrounding the majestic figure at the very top.

It was a towering figure with an ancient bronze bell hanging from his head, dressed in black robes and wearing a tall crown. His demeanor was lofty and ethereal, like an ancient emperor who suppressed all the heavens and myriad worlds.

As the bell tolled, ripples spread around the ancient emperor, causing time to fluctuate and flow backward.

The Azure Emperor's mind trembled violently, as if he had seen his own foundation and origin, and felt an indescribable tremor, wanting to completely merge with it.

Suddenly, the ancient emperor turned his gaze, revealing a pair of eyes that had witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, the opening and demise of numerous eras. These eyes seemed to contain a complete universe, and he wanted to absorb the mind and spirit of the Azure Emperor's body into them and devour him directly.

The Azure Emperor's mind was instantly frozen, as if he had encountered a terrifying being at the top of the food chain. He felt fear and trembling from the bottom of his heart, and could not muster any resistance.

This is the suppressive power of the other side of this realm over the other side below; it is a huge gap, like an insurmountable chasm.

Even though it was just a lump of flesh and blood, even though it had been suppressed by the Qingping Sword for countless years and was extremely weak, it was still something that beings below the other shore could not contend with.

Just as the wise men of this world have said throughout the endless ages:
Only those who have reached the other shore can fight against those who have reached the other shore!
In particular, this mass of Eastern Emperor's flesh and blood has a deep connection with the Azure Emperor's body, almost being one of his sources, and has a restraining power against him like a natural enemy.

If it were the Azure Emperor in the normal timeline, daring to directly absorb the power and Dao of the Eastern Emperor's flesh and blood, he would probably be immediately assimilated by the will of this ancient emperor and become one of His vessels.

However, the current Azure Emperor is different from the original timeline.

Just as the mind and spirit of the Azure Emperor were about to be assimilated by the will contained within the flesh and blood of the Eastern Emperor, and completely transformed into His vessel, a figure suddenly appeared.

Behind this figure hang nine dazzling and sacred halos, with the Yi Dao Tai Chi at its core, dividing positive and negative Yin and Yang into a perfect nine-way cycle system.

A timeless river of time and space, with no beginning and no end, encircled him, revealing the cycle of birth and death across countless eras, making his aura no less imposing than that of an ancient emperor with a bronze bell hanging above his head.

The figure gazed intently at the ancient emperor whose head was adorned with a bronze bell, and uttered a grand yet deep, cold shout:

"Reincarnation!"

Boom!

A thunderous sound, like the imperial decree of the Great Dao, resounded, and an enormous wheel, indescribable in words, appeared between heaven and earth, as if spanning the long river of time and space, suppressing everything from the very beginning of creation to the end of endless time and space, allowing everything to undergo the most essential cycle of the Great Dao.

In an instant, the ancient bronze bell collapsed, the shadow of the ancient emperor vanished, and the layers of immortal realms turned into a dreamlike illusion. Everything seemed to have undergone the initial cycle of the Great Dao, transforming into the most essential authority and Dao principles.

The Azure Emperor's mind returned instantly, and he felt countless insights into the Great Dao appear in his mind.

These insights perfectly align with his origins, serving as his foundation and source, thus providing him with the most essential complement and sublimation.

As the power of reincarnation flowed, the mind of the Azure Emperor's body fell into the darkness, as if he had transformed into the ancient emperor Donghuang Taiyi, absorbing his insights into the Great Dao and gaining a completely new understanding of the Great Dao of Time.

At the same time, the original understanding of the Great Time-Space Reincarnation System also emerged, comparing and merging with the Great Dao of Time of Donghuang Taiyi, allowing the Azure Emperor's body to instantly surpass the level of creation in its understanding of the Great Dao of Time, and climb towards the true other shore level.

Within the chaos where Jin'ao Island is located, an ancient and sacred Chaos Green Lotus blooms with a hazy and illusory divine light, carrying the power of the Great Time-Space Reincarnation, directly enveloping the pitch-black flesh and blood below.

This power of reincarnation penetrated directly into the very essence of this flesh and blood, acting as its nemesis. It caused the remaining instincts within this flesh and blood to undergo a new cycle, transforming into the most essential authority and principles.

Time, years, lifespan, the sun, stars, the heavenly emperor, and deities.
One by one, Dao patterns containing these Dao principles emerged from the dark flesh and blood. As the roots of the Chaos Green Lotus flowed, they merged into the Chaos Green Lotus, making its aura increasingly vast and illusory, vaguely giving off a sense of transcending the long river of time and space.

As each Dao pattern was absorbed by the Chaos Green Lotus, the aura of the dark flesh and blood became increasingly weak, and even began to shrink and gradually disappear.

Wow

The illusory sound of waves arose, and an illusory sea appeared around the Chaotic Green Lotus. It was filled with all sorts of emotions and thoughts, carrying the meaning of erosion and sinking, making it impossible for people to transcend, to attain eternity, to be forever bound by it, and unable to see the true other shore.

As time passed, a vast and ancient river of time vaguely appeared above the Chaos Green Lotus, sometimes transforming into an ancient and heavy bronze bell, and sometimes into a phantom fruit containing infinite Dao principles.

The aura of the Chaos Green Lotus grew increasingly ancient, as if it existed simultaneously in the past, present, and future.

Figures emerged from the river of time, appearing at various points in time. Although their auras differed from those of the Azure Emperor, they shared a mysterious connection with him.

As his mastery of the Great Dao of Time deepened, and the power of the Great Cycle of Time and Space circulated, the connection between the Azure Emperor and these figures scattered throughout various points in time became increasingly close.

Southern Jin Dynasty's capital.

Inside the palace.

Inside the majestic yet solitary Taiji Hall.

Feng Yi, in his human emperor form, sat on the throne, his hands resting on the golden armrests, his back against the chair, with the human emperor sword radiating a faint golden light beside him.

Inside the main hall, Gu Xiaosang, dressed in a white gown, with an ethereal and holy aura, smiled softly and asked, "Your Majesty, how does it feel to sit on the throne?"

Feng Yi stood up, shook his head, and said, "It's just an ordinary chair."

To him, the mere ruler of the Southern Jin Dynasty was nothing.

His body, that of a human emperor, is meant to rule over all the heavens and myriad realms, to become the sole human emperor.

Gu Xiaosang stroked the plain flag in her hand, smiling as she said, "I just didn't expect His Majesty to reveal the Emperor's Sword so directly after obtaining it. I thought His Majesty would devise a plan to gradually seize the position of ruler of Southern Jin." Reaching for the Emperor's Sword beside him, Feng Yi reflected his own image on the blade in his eyes and said calmly, "With the Emperor's Sword in hand, I am the sole ruler of the Zhao family in the capital. Why bother with such a complicated scheme? Besides..."

At this point, Feng Yi looked towards the distant sky and earth, his eyes faintly reflecting various hexagrams, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Now my supporters are about to take another step forward, and there is no need to exert too much effort anymore."

Gu Xiaosang was slightly taken aback, then looked at the plain flag in her hand, as if she had received some information, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Qing Emperor."

Journey to the West.

Above the thirty-third heaven.

Tushita Palace.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace burned continuously, and an old man in a Taoist robe sat cross-legged on the cloud bed beside it.

Just then, the old man slowly opened his eyes and looked out over the river of time.

"Qing Emperor?"

The old man's eyes were deep and calm, reflecting the image of the Qingping Sword being held in a hand. His brows furrowed slightly.

"Lingbao."

After a long while, the old man's eyes returned to calm as he peacefully watched the changes on the river of time.

Lingshan.

Before the mountain peak shaped like five fingers.

The figure in the dark gold robe looked up at the river of time and saw the 'ancient serpent' coiled above it.

"Taihao?"

"How could it be at this particular time?"

"No, no."

A whispered sound rang out, and a dark red inverted swastika appeared in the figure's eyes.

Buzz

The void became hazy, and vaguely, a dark red vortex seemed to be constantly rotating, carrying endless madness and chaos.

In the chaos beyond space and time.

A figure dressed in a black imperial robe stood there, with a fur-like object floating above his head. Ten black and white light spots flowed on it, representing Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the great evolution of the heavenly secrets.

Within his body, the bright moon hangs high, the Buddha's light shines brilliantly, and the Tai Chi symbol flows continuously. These three forces are constantly intertwined, and neither can truly overpower the other, resulting in a stalemate.

Western paradise.

The golden Buddha, who was neither born nor died and was perfectly flawless, slowly opened his eyes, a rare hint of doubt showing in them.

"This point in time."

"How could this be?"

"wrong."

"The Azure Emperor's Great Dao has changed."

At this point, the golden Buddha looked up at the mysterious high place, his eyes reflecting the ordinary Taoist temple, and whispered, "Fellow Daoist, was everything part of your plan?"

In one of his previous lives, the Azure Emperor was a disciple of the Tushita Palace, which clearly indicates that the Daoist friend, the Celestial Venerable of Morality, was involved behind the scenes.

The moment the words left his mouth, the golden Buddha pondered for a moment and then closed his eyes again.

For Him now, the most important thing is still the ancient emperor, Fu Huang.

He could vaguely sense that the secret hidden by the Emperor Fu was absolutely extraordinary, and might even be no less than the secret of the Dao Fruit.

As for the Azure Emperor, although he was unwilling to see another person from the Other Shore join the Tushita Palace, he couldn't care less about that now.

"Doing nothing yet accomplishing everything, acting in accordance with the natural order—truly, this is the style of you, fellow Daoist!"

A faint, ethereal voice rang out, and the golden Buddha fell into slumber once more.

Bodhi Pure Land.

Beneath a Bodhi tree with swaying branches, a serene and serene lapis lazuli Buddha sits with calluses on his body, surrounded by dappled light of wisdom.

Just then, the Buddha suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the river of time and space.

"Qing Emperor."

"Why at this particular time?"

At this point, the Azure Buddha turned his gaze to the ordinary-looking Taoist temple.

"Morality."

Jin'ao Island.

A phantom bell rang out, and ripples like flowing water appeared in the chaos, and everything came to a standstill.

The fruit atop the Chaos Green Lotus was fully perfected, forming a phantom fruit containing many Great Daos, like a manifestation of a certain aspect of the Dao.

The pitch-black flesh and blood turned directly into nothingness and completely dissipated into the world.

"it's time!"

A whispered voice rang out, and the chaotic divine light flowed. The chaotic green lotus transformed back into the figure of a handsome Taoist priest, who was none other than the Azure Emperor Taihao.

The Azure Emperor glanced at the River of Time and Space before him. The power of the Great Cycle of Time and Space circulated, and the figures from various points in time were directly transformed into imprints, merging into the River of Time and Space, forming an 'ancient serpent' that coiled around the River of Time and Space, with its head and tail intersecting.

At the same time, the illusory fruit above the Azure Emperor's head transformed into a Dao boat that lingered in the long river of time, carrying his innate spiritual light as it rose from the sea of ​​suffering filled with endless depravity, as if to leap out of all the heavens and myriad worlds and reach a place close to the Dao, to overlook all the heavens and myriad worlds from a completely new perspective.
