The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 213 The Thoughts of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality

Another ancient emperor has returned against all odds, just like the Taiyin Emperor of the past, and has once again proven his Dao, which has given the world an unprecedented and great shock.

"Damn it, if some ancient relic is born in the future, won't we, the geniuses of this era, become a joke?"

An ancient genius gazed at the desolate edge of the universe and couldn't help but reveal a look of despair.

These ancient beings have already proven their Dao once. By cultivating again from the perspective of the Imperial Dao, they have made up for their previous shortcomings one by one. Their strength after proving their Dao will be extremely terrifying. Ordinary geniuses are simply powerless to withstand the attacks of their tribulation lightning marks.

This situation will inevitably lead to an increasingly fierce competition for the path to the throne in the future. Ordinary geniuses will have no hope of proving the Dao, and the requirements will be far greater than in the past. It is possible that powerful emperors will become the standard for those who prove the Dao in the future.

However, this was something Chu Tianshu did intentionally to improve the overall strength of future Dao-proving individuals.

To be able to attain enlightenment in such a highly competitive environment, one must be exceptional in both talent and character, which may allow them to live for several more lifetimes.

boom!
The Great Dao of the Sun rose against the tide, soaring above the nine heavens, rearranging all the myriad paths of the entire world, and the supreme imperial might of the ultimate Dao subdued heaven and earth.

The Holy Emperor of the Sun has attained enlightenment!
It is now certain that the person who attained enlightenment at the edge of the universe is the Sun Emperor, an emperor whose complete demise was confirmed in ancient history. He was resurrected after countless ages, defying the heavens to return and attain enlightenment, bringing unprecedented shock to all living beings.

After all, he was not the first. The Taiyin Human Emperor from 20,000 years ago was the same, dying and being reborn to prove his Dao again.

There is only one person in the entire world who has such a feat, and that is the legendary Taiyi Emperor.

This legendary Heavenly Emperor, the first in history to achieve immortality in the mortal realm, seems to have gone very far on the path to immortality, having researched some extraordinary things that allow the dead to return—this is a true myth.

Besides, no one else in the world can think of who could have done this.

Unfortunately, ever since the Supreme Heavenly Emperor appeared tens of thousands of years ago, he has never appeared in the mortal world again, leaving them with no opportunity to seek his guidance.

Even so, it allowed the world to guess some of the truth.

"You say that the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor were able to return because of the power of faith?"

Some people's eyes flickered slightly, and considering the Yin Emperor, the Sun Emperor, and the Emperor's Palace that spanned the heavens and earth, they couldn't help but wonder if this was related to the power of faith.

The power of faith is an extremely mysterious force. Throughout history, few people have been able to research it and achieve any results. It is only rumored that the power of faith has the terrifying effect of making people defy the heavens and return to life.

"It may not be the power of faith; perhaps His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has successfully navigated the cycle of reincarnation."

Some people do not agree with the idea of ​​the power of faith, feeling that it is too vague and ethereal. They speculate that it may be related to the legendary cycle of reincarnation.

Whether returning through the power of faith or being reborn through the cycle of reincarnation, it is nothing short of a fantasy to the world, a realm beyond their reach.

Throughout history, those who sought enlightenment have not failed to study the power of faith and reincarnation, but they have generally not achieved any significant results. Instead, they have created numerous supreme calamities in the world.

But afterwards, the whole world quietly changed, and all kinds of temples appeared in various places of life in the human world, where they were dedicated to the former Heavenly Venerables, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors.

Clearly, this was all the work of the various royal families. They couldn't sit still after seeing the return of the Yin Emperor and the Sun Emperor. Since they didn't have the strength to study reincarnation, they placed their hopes on the power of faith, hoping to use the power of faith to bring their ancestors back again.

At the same time, strange people or monsters appeared all over the world. They were clearly covered in fur and armor, but they insisted that they used to be human.

What's even more chilling is that these people or monsters seem to know everything about their past lives, as if reincarnation truly exists.

In an instant, the entire world was filled with the figures of various forces capturing these monsters, trying to study their secrets. Some royal families even deployed ancient imperial weapons to fight each other, causing endless slaughter in the human world.

Fortunately, this matter was stopped by the major powers immediately, but overall the world was still plunged into chaos.

……

Purple Star (Ziwei Guxing).

On a sacred mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, those temples are one thing, they haven't caused too much harm to heaven and earth. But those monsters with disordered memories are different. If this continues, it could very well cause chaos in heaven and earth." The speaker was shrouded in the power of Taiyin, his face was blurred, but his aura was extremely majestic.

The power of faith is also very strange. Its harm may not be less than that caused by memory disorder, but in general, that is a matter for the future. There are no clues at present, so it is better to guide than to block.

However, the creatures with disordered memories that have appeared in the world are different. If this continues, it is very likely to cause a great disaster and result in irreversible consequences, which is something they do not want to see.

The two of them were very clear about the mastermind behind this matter; it must be those beings lurking in the forbidden zones of life.

Unlike those who have passed away, the power of faith is useless to them. So they focus their energy on reincarnation again, hoping to use the power of reincarnation to be reborn, defy the heavens, and return to prove their path. This is why there are all sorts of monsters in the world with disordered memories.

“I have the same thought. If we let them continue, it might disrupt the rules of heaven and earth and cause unspeakable consequences.” The Sun Emperor nodded.

As a contemporary cultivator who had attained enlightenment, he would never allow such a thing to happen before his eyes. The Taiyin Emperor nodded slightly and continued, "These are all minor matters; the most important thing is to achieve immortality in the mortal world."

"Since the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor, the Divine Emperor has also ascended to immortality in the mortal realm, proving that this path is indeed feasible."

Taiyi Tiandi was alright; no matter what great things he did, people just took it for granted, even if he became an immortal in the mortal world.

However, the later God Emperor also ascended to immortality in the mortal realm, which made these enlightened beings restless and convinced them that this was the right path.

"Taiyin, are you confident that you can become an immortal in the mortal realm?" The Sun Emperor asked with some curiosity.

Although he was on par with the Taiyin Emperor, there was still a gap between them, and he felt that he was no match for the Taiyin Emperor.

In his view, the Taiyin Human Emperor should have the opportunity to become an immortal in the human realm and achieve the status of a mortal immortal.

"Alas, you overestimate me. Transforming into an immortal from the mortal realm is not so easy." The Taiyin Emperor sighed, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

Every transformation teeters on the edge of life and death, success and failure separated by a mere hair's breadth. Until the very last moment, no one knows how it will end.

Otherwise, over the years, there wouldn't have been only Taiyi Heavenly Emperor and Shenhuang who explicitly became immortals. Leaving Taiyi Heavenly Emperor aside for now, there are quite a few Dao-proving individuals who are on par with Shenhuang. Some of them even appeared explicitly hundreds of thousands of years ago, and although they lived for a long time, they still failed to explicitly become immortals.

"Even you aren't confident?" The Sun Emperor's eyes narrowed. He realized he had underestimated the difficulty of ascending to immortality in the mortal realm.

Although the Supreme Heavenly Emperor demonstrated to the world the miracle that mortals could also become immortals, it did not mean that everyone had the hope of becoming an immortal; at most, they could only live a few more lifetimes.

"It's hard to say. You know the risks of transformation." The Taiyin Emperor shook his head.

To reverse life and undergo a transformation, the most important thing is to create a method for transformation. This is the first step. The key is to test the method on your own body, although the probability of failure is also very high.

"I really don't know how many life-and-death crises the Taiyi Emperor faced back then, in order to carve out a path out of the darkness."

The Sun Emperor sighed, "The higher one's cultivation level, the more one can feel the terrifying power of this Supreme Heavenly Emperor, which far exceeds their comprehension."

……

As the actions of those supreme beings from forbidden zones grew increasingly aggressive, the Sun Emperor finally made his move. He didn't target the monsters of the world, but instead charged directly into a forbidden zone of life, where he forcefully struck, slaying an ancient supreme being.

Since then, the world has finally calmed down, and the number of monsters with disordered memories has gradually decreased.

However, in some secluded places, some terrifying creatures are still conducting experiments, but not as openly as before.

Approximately ten thousand years later, the Heavenly Heart Mark above the Nine Heavens began to collapse, the Sun Saint Emperor "passed away," and the period of suppression of the Great Dao arrived.

This situation brought a great sense of relief to the world. Fortunately, the Sun Emperor did not continue to "live" and block the path of future generations.

Big Dipper.

Near a sinister grave, towering tombstones stand everywhere, and the earth is riddled with terrifying cracks.

This is one of the most infamous forbidden zones in the entire world—the Immortal's Tomb. It may be one of the longest-standing forbidden zones for life in the human world, having appeared as early as the mythological era.

However, the Immortal Tomb at that time was not as brutal as it would be in later generations. In the mythological era, almost no supreme beings were born to start dark turmoil.

Inside the Immortal Tomb, a terrifying aura began to awaken.

"Has the Sun Emperor truly passed away?" the Eternal Heavenly Venerable murmured.

He was somewhat incredulous. That person's methods were unpredictable and mysterious. He had managed to fake his death and escape on the path to immortality, deceiving the world. How much more so for him, who had already become an immortal.

Moreover, not only the Sun Emperor, but also the Eternal Heavenly Venerable suspected that the Moon Emperor and the Immortal Phoenix had not passed away and might still be struggling in the mortal world, seeking to achieve immortality.

He also longed to reverse his fate and transform into an immortal in the mortal world. Unfortunately, his condition was poor and he was no longer at his peak. Even if he were to undergo the ultimate sublimation and return to his peak, he would most likely be unable to complete the transformation.

"There's no use thinking too much. My vital energy is declining and my lifespan is running out. I need to find a way to make up for it." The Celestial Venerable of Longevity focused his gaze on himself. At this moment, he could sense that his skin was gradually drying out, his hair and beard were losing their luster, and there was an aura of death surrounding his body.

This era is different from the past. Even two immortals have appeared, and there are also suspected that several beings in the human world are undergoing a reverse transformation.

If he dares to launch a dark rebellion, he will probably be killed immediately.

"How about we train one ourselves? And then use its flesh and blood to replenish ourselves?"
