The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 165 Comprehending the Undying Sutra (Please Subscribe)
The little ant turned its head and saw a Taoist priest in green standing beside it.

It showed no sign of life, yet it felt as vast as the heavens and the earth, as boundless as the ocean.

Simply by standing there, all things in heaven and earth seemed to give way, as if facing an "Emperor".

"Immortal, Immortal King..."

The little ant exclaimed in surprise. The Taoist in front of him was too extraordinary. His face was blurry and he could not see clearly, but he vaguely revealed an invincible aura that looked down on the six directions and eight wastelands and looked down on the past, present and future.

Such magnanimity is not something that human beings can possess. Even among immortal beings, only the top experts who have stepped into that supreme realm possess it.

What shocked Little Horned Ant the most was that he felt a very familiar aura emanating from this Taoist priest.

The aura was filled with golden majesty, vast and boundless, yet not intimidating, making the little ant feel very warm.

"Father, the aura of my father, Your Majesty the Immortal King, have you seen my father?"

Suddenly, the little ant seemed to remember something, its expression becoming agitated, its eyes filled with tears.

Although his father had long since passed away since his birth, he would never mistake that aura for that of his father, the Heavenly Horned Ant Immortal King.

“Little Skyhorn Ant, I did see your father not long ago.”

Chu Tianshu nodded slightly, giving the little ant a satisfactory answer.

"Dad, where are you?"

The little ant knelt on the ground, its expression sorrowful, and cried uncontrollably.

In the late ancient times, a foreign land launched a massive invasion. His mother was killed, and his brothers and sisters all perished. At that time, he was still in his mother's womb when he suffered a fatal blow.

If it weren't for his father returning with his crippled body and using extraordinary methods, the little ant would have been wiped out long ago.

But because of this, his father, the Heavenly Horned Ant Immortal King, exhausted his last bit of essence, turning into blood and ash.

Therefore, the baby ant has never seen its parents, brothers, or sisters since it was born.

At this moment, he felt an unusually familiar aura emanating from an unfamiliar Immortal King, how could he not be extremely excited?

"My Lord Immortal King, since you have seen my father, is he still alive?"

The little ant looked up, two tear tracks sliding down its face, gazing at Chu Tianshu with hopeful eyes.

"Ugh!"

"Little horned ant, don't you understand?"

“I am like you, not a person of this era, but a tributary of time that brought us together in one place. In my time, the final battle had not yet fully broken out.”

Chu Tianshu sighed softly, extinguishing his last shred of hope.

pat!

The little ant wept silently, its large teardrops hitting the ground with a series of crisp sounds.

Although he didn't cry out loud, his grief was even more intense.

After an unknown amount of time, the little ant finally stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of its eyes, and bowed to Chu Tianshu.

"Thank you for enlightening me, Immortal King!"

Chu Tianshu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to comfort the little horned ant. Most of the ancient kings met tragic ends, not just the horned ant.

"Perhaps I can change all of this?"

Chu Tianshu questioned himself in his heart. He had learned about these things from Duan De before, but he only regarded them as understanding the ancient history of the human world.

But when he was actually in the Immortal Ancient Era, in this age where the sages of the past shed their blood, he also wanted to do his part as much as possible.

Moreover, whether it was the Immortal King Wuzhong, the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui, or the Immortal King Tianjiaoyi, they all provided him with considerable assistance.

The first two Celestial Kings cleared many obstacles in his path, while the latter even guided him through the peerless scripture, the Undying Scripture.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Chu Tianshu was not a cold-blooded person; he wanted to take action and see if he could change the fate of these Immortal Kings.

"It's not too late. The great war at the end of the Immortal Era has not yet broken out, and the future is still uncertain!"

"However, my strength is still a bit lacking. I must reach the pinnacle of immortality as soon as possible. Only then can I become a giant immortal king after breaking through to immortal king, and only then will I have the power to influence the battle."

A sense of urgency rose in Chu Tianshu's heart once again; his strength was still a bit lacking at the moment.

Even if he unleashed his full power, he could only briefly clash with an ordinary Immortal King. There were many Immortal Kings in the other realm, and his individual strength could not affect the overall situation.

Only by breaking through to the Immortal King realm at the pinnacle of immortality and stepping into the realm of Immortal King giants can one have the possibility of turning the tide.

At worst, we cannot allow the two Immortal Kings, Wuzhong and Tianjiao Yi, to die from exhaustion, or for Tianjiao Yi to turn to ashes.

As for the others, he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Just as Chu Tianshu was making his calculations, the battle between Shi Hao and He Wushuang came to an end.

"puff!"

Shi Hao's fist flashed fiercely, piercing through He Wushuang's skull, shattering his brains and completely destroying his primordial spirit.

He Wushuang's finger sword was about to pierce Shi Hao's brow, and just as it was about to annihilate Shi Hao's primordial spirit, it was discovered that time and space had been completely frozen, and it could no longer move forward even an inch.

"Shi Hao!"

The little ant cried out in surprise, darting forward and appearing beside Shi Hao. "I...I...I'm alright!"

Shi Hao's voice was weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. It took him a while to recover.

"Thank you, thank you so much, senior!"

Shi Hao cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Chu Tianshu. If it weren't for the intervention of this Taoist priest, he would have likely met a tragic end.

He looked at the Taoist priest in blue robes before him; his face was blurry and indistinct, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

But soon, Shi Hao seemed to realize something, recognized Chu Tianshu's identity, and became excited.

"Junior Shi Hao greets Immortal King Taiyi!"

"What? This Taoist is the same Taiyi Immortal King who has repeatedly stormed into the core of the alien realm, treating the alien kings like mere weeds and coming and going as he pleases?"

"Isn't it rumored that he disappeared into the Boundary Sea after the final battle?"

As soon as Shi Hao finished speaking, the Heavenly Horned Ant couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

boom!
The next moment, supreme divine thunder roared from the void, the chains of laws shattered, the void crumbled, and it fiercely struck the Heavenly Horned Ant.

This power was terrifying, almost comparable to an attack from a quasi-immortal king.

At the critical moment, Chu Tianshu flicked his finger, unleashing a divine light that neutralized the supreme divine lightning.

"Several times stormed into the core of the alien realm? Treated the alien kings like mere weeds, coming and going as they pleased? Vanished into the Boundary Sea?"

Chu Tianshu muttered to himself, then looked at Shi Hao and Little Heavenly Horned Ant.

"Immortal King Taiyi, be careful..."

Shi Hao seemed to have thought of something and was about to send a message to Chu Tianshu, but the next moment, their figures completely disappeared from the ultimate trial ground.

The battlefield, which was originally like a purgatory, has completely disappeared, with those enormous, mountain-like corpses and the blood hanging in the void.

Instead, it became a peaceful and tranquil ancient land, surrounded by lush greenery, towering ancient trees, and teeming with exotic animals.

It was as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

"Disappeared?"

"Is it because we were talking about the future?"

"Be careful? Be careful of what?"

Chu Tianshu was somewhat surprised. He could clearly feel that when the little ant mentioned his future, the River of Time immediately surged with a huge wave, and a tremendous backlash surged forth. If he hadn't intervened to resolve it, the little ant would probably have perished completely.

Then the tributary of time dissipated, taking the two of them back.

If what Shi Hao and Little Heavenly Horned Ant said is true, then at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, I should have achieved the pinnacle of Immortal, successfully breaking through to become a giant Immortal King.

"That's actually good news. The fact that I eventually disappeared into the Boundary Sea means that I returned to the future."

Chu Tianshu pondered in his heart that since there were records of him in the Chaotic Ancient Era, he must have successfully achieved his predetermined goal later on.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking too much. I should focus on learning the Undying Scripture and increasing my strength as quickly as possible!"

"As long as I am strong enough, I can slay any immortal king or any dark and mysterious being."

Chu Tianshu shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts.

He immediately took a step and appeared on a magnificent mountain.

Golden divine light emanated from the mountains, manifesting four golden animal hides atop the peaks.

boom!
As soon as Chu Tianshu set foot in the mountains, a grand chanting of scriptures rang in his ears, deafening and bringing him into a state of enlightenment.

At the mountaintop, the golden animal hides fluttered silently, covered with densely packed Dao runes that formed a unique script, concealing endless mysteries.

These divine runes, like swimming dragons, flowed across the animal hide, as if explaining the great secrets of the human body to Chu Tianshu.

This script is very peculiar; it is neither the script of the Immortal Ancient Era nor the script of the recent few eras, nor is it the script of the Immortal Realm.

Surprisingly, even those who don't recognize the characters can understand their meaning at a glance.

"This script... seems to be like the divine script of the Great Dao, a manifestation of the Great Dao itself. It has transcended the constraints of time, and can be understood by people of any era and race!"

Chu Tianshu marveled at the scripture before him. This supreme heavenly book was too strange; it didn't seem to be created by humans, but rather as if it had been born from the very heavens and earth.

Soon, Chu Tianshu sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the text of the Immortal Scripture.

As he comprehended the text, the words on the four golden animal hides gradually faded, and before long, the four golden animal hides completely disappeared into the void.

"The Immortal Sutra truly lives up to its name of being immortal; it is truly extraordinary!"

Chu Tianshu looked at the Immortal Peak before him and sighed.

Although the text of the Immortal Scripture has disappeared, it has not vanished; it is still engraved on the Immortal Peak.

However, scriptures are like leeks; once harvested this time, they need to wait for a long time to be harvested again.

Moreover, Chu Tianshu had a vague feeling that even if the Undying Peak was destroyed, the scriptures would not disappear.

Over the long course of time, the scriptures will always re-emerge on the mountaintop.

"Unfortunately, this Scripture of Immortality is indeed incomplete, just as the Celestial Ant King said."
