The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 152 South China Sea Purple Bamboo Forest

Otherwise, if Chu Tianshu were to work on this alone in isolation, it would probably take him a considerable amount of time to take this step.

If he could discuss the Dao with the immortal beings and even the immortal kings of this world, and absorb their Dao and methods, it should be able to accelerate Chu Tianshu's breakthrough process.

"Let's find out what's going on outside first, and then make a plan!"

Chu Tianshu pondered for a moment and decided to first understand the situation in this world before taking any action.

After all, there are many experts in this world, including more than ten Immortal Kings. With his strength, he cannot do whatever he wants. This is not the time for him to be invincible in the mortal world. He still needs to act cautiously.

With this in mind, Chu Tianshu's eyes shone brightly, instantly revealing the vast landscape and beginning to gather information about this world.

With his cultivation level, unless he is a Celestial King, no one would be able to detect him.

Moreover, such a trivial matter would not warrant any action against him even if the Celestial Kings noticed it.

They simply assumed he was a quasi-immortal king who had been in seclusion for a long time and wanted to gather information and find out about the current situation after emerging from seclusion; such things are not uncommon.

"Ok?"

"This method is exactly the same as the one obtained from the Undying Emperor. Is it really from the Immortal Ancient Era?"

Before long, Chu Tianshu had gathered a crucial piece of information.

The cultivation method practiced by the cultivators in this realm is exactly the same as the method in the memories of the Undying Emperor. Both methods involve first cultivating one's own body, and then, after reaching a certain level, refining various immortal seeds of heaven and earth, growing together with these seeds, and gaining insight into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The advantages of this method are obvious: the more perfect the immortal seed, the greater the cultivator's potential and the faster the progress. It is highly dependent on heaven and earth.

If the world were perfect, then cultivating this method would naturally be an excellent choice.

"It seems that even if this era is not the Immortal Ancient Era, it is probably not much different."

According to what Chu Tianshu learned from Duan De, the Immortal Ancient Law was not a system built by the kings of the human realm during the Immortal Ancient Era. The origin of this law can actually be traced back to the Immortal Realm.

Legend has it that there is a group of supreme kings in the Immortal Realm who have researched many things in order to break the kingship and become emperors. Among them, the Ancient Immortal Method is one of the results of their experiments.

However, they obviously did not get what they wanted in the end; the ancient immortal method did not help them break through the King and become an Emperor.

However, this method has extraordinary potential, and it gradually spread throughout the Immortal Realm.

At that time, the connection between the human realm and the immortal realm had not yet been severed. Many immortal beings, after learning about the potential of this method, brought back the ancient immortal techniques.

This method indeed has remarkable potential. Within just a few eras, several Immortal Kings appeared in the human realm, finally reaching a peak in the Immortal Ancient Era.

Even after the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, there was still a considerable amount of time spent cultivating this method in the early stages of the Chaotic Ancient Era.

However, it is said that at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, most of the Immortal Kings in the human realm died in battle.

At this moment, based solely on the auras that Chu Tianshu sensed, there were no fewer than ten Immortal Kings, which clearly could not be from the Chaotic Ancient Era, further confirming his previous conjecture.

Before long, Chu Tianshu finally gathered a useful piece of information.

"About a million years ago, while many Immortal Kings were visiting the Immortal Realm, the Immortal King launched a massive attack, intending to slaughter the world."

"Just as the Immortal King of the Otherworld was about to break through his cultivation barrier, Immortal King Yuanheng stepped forward and used his Primordial Spirit Sword Technique to fight against several Immortal Kings, killing one of them and quelling an unprecedented upheaval."

"Unfortunately, Immortal King Yuanheng was also injured at his core during this great battle, and soon after, he passed away completely."

"..."

"Another realm? Is this the great enemy that destroyed the ancient immortal era?"

Chu Tianshu's mind stirred, recalling the secret he had obtained from Duan De.

The Otherworld is the mortal enemy of the human realm, and this conflict wasn't limited to the Immortal Ancient Era; it occurred in much earlier times, with both sides suffering losses.

Later, in the Immortal Ancient Era, the cultivation system of the human realm was cracked by the alien realm, which allowed them to seize the opportunity and bury all the Immortal Ancient Kings in one fell swoop.

In the Immortal Ancient Era, it was the time when the human realm and the other realms clashed most fiercely. Every once in a while, an immortal king from the other realm would try to enter the pass, but most of the time he was blocked by the kings of the Immortal Ancient Era.

Something like what happened a million years ago is clearly very unusual.

The fact that those beings from other realms know the movements of the ancient immortal kings so accurately suggests that someone in the human realm tipped them off, transmitting the information about the ancient immortal kings' movements to the other realms.

It's possible that the ancient immortal techniques were leaked to the other realm by that group of people.

However, the alien realm must have had some reservations at that time, fearing an ambush by the ancient immortal kings, and only sent a few immortal kings to guard the pass.

Otherwise, the Immortal Ancient Era might end prematurely.

If it weren't for Immortal King Yuanheng repelling that invasion from the alien realm, the alien kings would probably have been advancing unimpeded.

"But why is this alien realm fighting to the death with the human realm? Over several eras, they have suffered considerable losses as well."

Chu Tianshu was somewhat puzzled. After all, the alien realm had been locked in a deadly battle with the human realm for several epochs, and its own losses were considerable. This was clearly very abnormal.

Especially since they are the attackers, they will be suppressed by the forces of nature, making it difficult for them to exert their full strength, and their losses will only be greater.

Soon, Chu Tianshu gathered more detailed information.

These alien beings seem to be searching for something in the human realm, which is why they have launched one interdimensional war after another, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

As a result, quite a few immortal kings of their time also perished.

"Is this aura ominous?"

Before long, Chu Tianshu saw a familiar scene in a celestial being who had participated in the Great War of the Borderlands.

Countless wisps of gray mist shrouded the desolate borderlands of the human realm, emanating a dark and ominous aura that made one feel extremely uneasy. This aura was exactly the same as the ominous one he had encountered during his tribulation to become an immortal, immediately setting off alarm bells in Chu Tianshu's mind.

On the day he was destined to become an immortal, an ominous sign suddenly appeared, attempting to capture his primordial spirit and plunge him into boundless darkness.

Unexpectedly, after countless years, he saw the ominous figure again in the human world.

Clearly, an ultimate battle to settle everything is about to begin.

The Immortal Ancient Era was merely a prelude; the future Chaotic Ancient Era would be even more chaotic, with the human realm, other realms, immortal realms, and all other realms of the heavens and myriad worlds being destroyed in this great reckoning.

Even in Chu Tianshu's era, this great war may not have ended.

After all, when Emperor Ye and his followers entered the Immortal Realm in later generations, the Immortal Realm was also in ruins, with no immortal beings remaining.

With such a long time and such a good environment, even a pig could become an immortal by enduring the passage of time.

However, when Ye Fan and his companions entered the Immortal Realm, they did not find any immortal beings.

This situation can only mean that all those immortal beings have gone to the front lines to fight, and the fighting is extremely fierce.

Just then, Chu Tianshu suddenly obtained another extremely useful piece of information.

"The Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui have hosted a banquet in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South Sea, inviting the geniuses of all races to attend!"

"The Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea?"

Chu Tianshu had a sudden thought: the Immortal King was hosting a banquet; this was a very rare opportunity.

Especially with the Immortal King hosting a banquet, many experts will likely attend.

This world is currently in a prosperous period, with a considerable number of quasi-immortal kings and immortal kings. If he could discuss the Dao with the immortal kings and quasi-immortal kings of this world, it would be quite an inspiration to him.

With this in mind, Chu Tianshu could no longer contain himself. After confirming the location of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, he rushed there directly.

In a single step, one can traverse endless mountains and rivers.

At this time, the human realm was incredibly vast. Even with Chu Tianshu's cultivation level, it still took him several days to reach the vicinity of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea.

At this moment, the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea was bustling with activity, as geniuses from all races gathered together, including many immortal beings.

Even in Chu Tianshu's eyes, many of these young prodigies have remarkable potential.

"Hahaha!"

"I didn't expect another fellow Daoist to attend the banquet. I am Wang Huan of the Wang family. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

Just as Chu Tianshu approached the vicinity of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, a Taoist priest seemed to sense his presence and suddenly appeared in front of Chu Tianshu.

The Taoist was dressed in purple robes, and his aura was extremely terrifying; he was clearly a quasi-immortal king.

At the same time, Wang Huan's sudden appearance also drew gasps of surprise from outside the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea.

"It is Lord Wang Huan, the biological son of Immortal King Yuan Heng!"

"Who is that person who could make Lord Wang Huan personally come out to greet him!"

"Anyone who can be addressed as a fellow Daoist by Lord Wang Huan must be a quasi-Immortal King!"

Wang Huan's sudden appearance immediately drew gasps of surprise from everyone present.

As the son of the Immortal King Yuanheng who once quelled the turmoil, Wang Huan enjoys a high reputation throughout the human realm.

He is not only a quasi-Immortal King, but also wields the Suppression of Chaos Technique, one of the three great sword techniques of the Immortal Era.

The "Pacifying Chaos Technique" is originally called the "Primordial Spirit Sword Technique." Unlike ordinary sword techniques, it uses the power of the soul to condense a sword embryo, specifically designed to attack the cultivator's primordial spirit.

If the enemy's primordial spirit is not strong enough, it will be annihilated by the sword energy in the instant of battle.

The Immortal King Yuanheng used the Primordial Spirit Sword Technique to quell a turmoil in a foreign land and kill an immortal king, which is why he was known as the "Suppressing Chaos Technique".

As the biological son of Immortal King Yuanheng, Wang Huan is in charge of the Suppression of Chaos Decision, and even an Immortal King would not underestimate him.

The fact that he would personally come out to greet us at this moment suggests that he must be at least a quasi-Immortal King.

"I am Taiyi, greetings, fellow Daoist!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Tianshu's eyes as he recognized Wang Huan's background.

However, what truly intrigued Chu Tianshu was how his Dao-Slaying Sword Technique compared to the Chaos-Pacifying Technique.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Taiyi. I wonder why I've never heard of your illustrious reputation before."

Wang Huan cupped his hands in greeting. He could sense that the young man in front of him, who called himself Taiyi, was not an ordinary quasi-immortal king.

In particular, the aura that he inadvertently revealed made him feel extremely uneasy, clearly indicating that he was no ordinary person.

But soon, Wang Huan seemed to receive some message and stopped asking questions.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, please come inside for a chat. Immortal King Wuzhong and the others are currently in the Purple Bamboo Grove!"

"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"

Chu Tianshu didn't stand on ceremony; that aura was something he had intentionally revealed.

If we try to hide it, we might not be able to fool those immortal kings, and we might even be seen as having ulterior motives. So it's better to be more open.
