The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 138 The Return of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor (3K10K)

"However, if this Emperor thinks he can find my weaknesses in the younger generation of the Chu family, he is probably overthinking it."

Chu Tianshu shook his head.

In order for the younger generation of the Chu family to be able to cultivate his scriptures, Chu Tianshu made a great deal of modifications and deletions; otherwise, no one would be able to cultivate the complete version of the scriptures.

This is why the third edition of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture in the Chu family's possession is severely incomplete, and its explanation of Chu Tianshu's Dao fruition is too one-sided.

Some were even specially made simple to accommodate the cultivators of the Chu family.

If the Emperor wanted to use the previous scriptures to find a flaw and develop a method to target Chu Tianshu, it would be completely futile.

Even if it were developed, it would only be effective against Chu Tianshu in his second life, and the results would be very poor.

However, Chu Tianshu has undergone two more transformations, and his Dao Fruit has made great progress in both breadth and depth, resulting in a dramatic change from before.

For the Emperor to use the incomplete and flawed Imperial Scripture of the past against Chu Tianshu at this moment is rather wishful thinking.

"Judging from this, it seems that the Emperor has not developed a way to counter my ultimate move, otherwise he would not have acted this way."

Chu Tianshu was not angry at the Emperor's methods. He would have acted the same way if he were in the same situation.

Although Chu Tianshu has already attained enlightenment, he is not a pedantic person.

As far as he knew, the Emperor had not passed on his core scriptures to his disciples, but only the scriptures of the first generation.

The second incarnation of the Emperor Venerable was a departure from his former Dao and Dharma, a path that was completely different from his previous one.

That's why Chu Tianshu didn't go looking for trouble with those remnants of the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have already gone to their door to demand the Emperor's scriptures.

"The tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. Since the Emperor can no longer sit still, I will see if I can take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate him once and for all."

Chu Tianshu's eyes opened and closed, a terrifying killing intent flashing within, instantly causing a major change in the celestial phenomena outside.

Originally, he did not want to cause any more trouble in this life, and did not want to start a decisive battle with the Emperor too early, after all, he had just opened all the potential gates of the human body.

He still needs to study the great secrets of the human body, integrate the Dao fruits of his previous lives, and research the direction after becoming a mortal immortal...

To be honest, he simply didn't have enough time and had no intention of confronting the Emperor.

However, others did not think so. The Emperor believed that Chu Tianshu was an obstacle to his grand plan and insisted on taking action to settle things with him.

Chu Tianshu was not one to surrender easily. After all, the Emperor's actions were too heinous. He actually wanted to melt down this human world into a supreme immortal artifact, which seriously threatened him.

No matter what, the two will eventually clash.

Fortunately, Chu Tianshu's years of hard work have not been in vain. Through years of diligent cultivation, his Dao Fruit has been further improved, and his strength has increased significantly.

If he could fight the Emperor to a 40/60 split right after his transformation, he should be able to manage a 50/50 split now.

Of course, this is on the premise that the Emperor has not made much progress over the years.

However, judging from the fact that he abducted the Chu family's Overlord Immortal Body, he clearly doesn't have much confidence when facing Chu Tianshu.

The next moment, Chu Tianshu opened the bronze coffin and disappeared into the vast starry sky.

……

The ancestral home of the Chu family.

"The sacrificial ceremony has been completed. I wonder if the Emperor Ancestor has sensed anything."

Inside a certain hall, a Great Completion Body cultivator paced back and forth, his expression slightly anxious.

At this moment, all the top-level hegemons of the Chu family were gathered in the main hall, a rare sight indeed.

In the past, the Chu family's Great Accomplishment Body was almost entirely sealed off.

Unless it involves a Great Emperor, a fully-formed Overlord Body will generally not break free from its seal.

However, this matter is of great importance. A powerful immortal body, comparable to a Daoist, was abducted from the core ancestral land of the Chu family without anyone noticing.

It wasn't until the Imperial Soldiers conducted their routine patrols that they discovered this, which immediately terrified these powerful beings.

Even the ancestor Chu Shanhe, who was comparable to a Daoist, had no power to resist, let alone these Great Completion and Perfection Hegemons.

If that person hadn't disregarded them back then, they would probably have already met their demise.

"Alright, Seventh Brother, stop loitering around there!"

"Given the scale of our sacrificial ceremony, the ancestral emperor will surely sense it."

One of the hot-tempered overlords couldn't help but speak up when he saw the seventh prince wandering around the hall.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the main hall was not right, an older, powerful figure immediately spoke up to ease the tension.

"Who was our ancestor?"

"Back then, Emperor Ancestor had only cultivated for a short period of two hundred thousand years, yet he was able to fight on equal terms with the Heavenly Court's Lord, Emperor Venerable."

"Now that more than 100,000 years have passed since the last great war, the Emperor Ancestor is unlikely to have stood still. That Heavenly Court Lord may not be his match."

"In my opinion, we don't need to worry too much."

"That's right, Third Brother is right!"

"I think so too..."

In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, and the entire hall was filled with voices of agreement.

However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the underlying weakness in his tone.

However, this is understandable. After all, the strongest opponent the Chu family had faced before was someone like the Stone Emperor. Although the Stone Emperor was powerful, he possessed the clan's imperial weapon and a perfected overlord body, so he didn't have much fear in his heart.

It's understandable that they felt uneasy being suddenly confronted by a legendary figure.

After all, the Emperor's reputation, revered by heaven, earth, gods, and ghosts alike, is still celebrated by the world even after millions of years. In fact, when the Emperor first appeared, many descendants of the Heavenly Court suddenly emerged in the human realm, searching for him everywhere, revealing a formidable power.

Just as everyone was discussing, a majestic voice rang out in the hall.

"It seems that the Chu family has developed quite well in recent years."

The next moment, a magnificent imperial figure suddenly appeared in the hall. Just by standing there, it seemed to steal all the light from the world, as if it were the center of heaven and earth.

The Emperor's face was blurry and indistinct, but it vaguely matched the Heavenly Emperor's image in the clan. In particular, his aura made everyone in the hall feel extremely close to him.

"This, this is..."

"Emperor Ancestor!"

"We pay our respects to the Emperor Ancestor!"

It wasn't until they sensed the aura of the Emperor's shadow that the powerful figures of the Chu family reacted and hurriedly bowed to the majestic Emperor's shadow.

"No need to be polite!"

Chu Tianshu waved his hand, unleashing an unparalleled Heavenly Emperor's power, which helped the Chu family members to their feet.

"In just a few hundred thousand years, the Chu family has actually produced eight Great Completion Body cultivators. It seems you've developed very well."

In total, Chu Tianshu had not returned to Tianji Ancient Star for over 100,000 years, and the changes in the Chu family were also astonishing.

Back then, after more than 100,000 years of accumulation, the entire Chu family only produced three Great Completion Hegemon Bodies, all of whom he sent to strange worlds.

To ensure the Chu family's continued peaceful continuation, he specially forged an imperial weapon to protect the family.

But to his surprise, the Chu family not only did not decline, but became more and more prosperous. In just over 100,000 years, they were able to produce eight Great Completion Hegemons, which exceeded his expectations.

Unfortunately, over the years, only one person has been able to cultivate the Overlord Immortal Body.

In the main hall.

In an instant, all the Great Completion Hegemons of the Chu family showed excitement and kept kowtowing to Chu Tianshu.

"Alright, let's announce to the public that I've returned to the Chu family!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Tianshu sent the group away.

The reason for making it public is also for the sake of the Chu family.

After all, if the Emperor cannot find him in the human realm, he may very well target the Chu family and force Chu Tianshu to fight him.

Not only are many members of the Chu family living on Tianji Ancient Star, but also the ancestral graves of Chu Tianshu's father and his generation are located there. He does not want anything to happen here.

Before long, Chu Tianshu arrived at the back mountain of the Chu family's ancestral land again.

Several large tombs stood before him.

Among them were not only his parents and brothers, but also a large tomb of "himself," in which Chu Tianshu's second life was born.

If Chu Tianshu hadn't chosen to live a second life here, his path to immortality in the mortal world might not have been so smooth.

After all, he not only transformed his physique into the Overlord Immortal Body here, but also thoroughly comprehended the Great Dao of Chaos, perfecting his path from simplicity to complexity in his previous three lives.

Chu Tianshu, who lived a second life, did not demolish the large tomb; instead, he preserved it.

"Hey!"

Chu Tianshu stood before several large tombs for a long time before finally letting out a helpless sigh.

……

Soon, a message was sent from the ancient star Tianji, instantly igniting the entire human realm.

"The Supreme Heavenly Emperor has returned and is currently on the Ancient Star of Tianji!"

In an instant, the entire human realm was in an uproar, with countless beings arguing amongst themselves.

"what?"

"Is the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi currently on the ancient star Tianji? Could it be that the Chu family's sacrificial ceremony a while ago was precisely to contact His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?!"

Soon, an ancient sage made a connection to the grand sacrificial ceremony held by the Chu family not long ago.

Not long after the sacrificial ceremony, the Chu family made a high-profile announcement of the return of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, which clearly indicates that there must be a connection between the two.

“That’s right! The Supreme Heavenly Emperor has not appeared in the mortal realm for hundreds of thousands of years. He must have been cultivating in seclusion in the Immortal Realm.”

"Is his sudden return to the mortal realm to lead us all to immortality?"

Some of the monks looked excited.

In their view, it is very likely that the Supreme Heavenly Emperor successfully entered the Immortal Realm and became an immortal in his later years during his first incarnation.

That's why he was able to manifest his divine power in the human world for hundreds of thousands of years. Now that he's returning to the Chu family, it's highly likely that he's leading the Chu family members to ascend to heaven with them.

Thinking of this, even quasi-emperor level beings couldn't sit still.

"The Heavenly Emperor has returned to the mortal realm; we should certainly go and pay our respects."

“Indeed, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has made many contributions to the world and quelled the sources of many disturbances. We should pay our respects.”

"Let's go, let's go to Tianji Ancient Star together!"

In an instant, divine light rose in every corner of the human realm, and some ancient lineages and royal families awakened their inner strength and flew towards the location of the Tianji Ancient Star.

For a cultivator, nothing is more important than attaining immortality.

Meanwhile, in the human realm, there was an "immortal" waiting for them to pay their respects. If they missed this opportunity, they might regret it for the rest of their lives.
