The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 238 Ascension to Explore the Primordial World

Yu Hua has always been very interested in Kunlun Immortal Mountain. Their ancestors were core members of the Heavenly Court in the past and knew many secrets about Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

The Kunlun Immortal Mountain is shrouded in mystery, inhabited by a race that claims to be descendants of immortals. In the mythical era, this race produced many enlightened beings, and several supreme beings lie dormant within the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, even possessing a celestial artifact.

In order to conquer Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the Emperor spared no expense, gathering most of the Heavenly Court's elite forces, including several Heavenly Venerables from the mythological era.

After a fierce battle, the Kunlun clan was defeated and expelled from the ancient star by the Emperor. They have not returned to their ancestral home to this day.

Afterwards, the Emperor went to great lengths throughout the universe, commanding ninety-nine dragon mountains, and invited his teacher, the Underworld Lord, to set up an unparalleled formation within the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Legend has it that the first artificially crafted cauldron for achieving immortality was conceived and completed on Kunlun Mountain.

At the same time, the sacred mountain also holds many secrets, and is a place of great fortune, said to contain the secret to becoming an immortal.

Of course, since the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor became an immortal, people have also known that the key to becoming an immortal in the mortal world lies in the transformation from one life to another. Unfortunately, after so many years, no one has been able to verify the path of the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor. Many emperors did not even live out their third life before disappearing into the past.

Although the God Emperor later ascended to immortality in the mortal world, he did not preach to the world after becoming an immortal, and never appeared again in the years that followed. Therefore, there are many different opinions about how the God Emperor achieved immortality, and there has never been a definitive conclusion.

With the Immortal Treasure Map in hand and rumors circulating that the Kunlun Immortal Mountain holds the secret to immortality, his interest in ascension has naturally surged.

"Your Majesty, the clan is ready and awaits your command."

A young man walked in with his head bowed and utmost respect.

Yu Hua nodded slightly and walked out of the main hall. He immediately saw a vast expanse of people, and many treasure ships were floating in the void, with flags fluttering and a magnificent sight.

"set off!"

With a command from Yu Hua, a brilliant golden road unfolded beneath their feet, instantly separating them from the Yu Hua Star Domain and heading towards the vast starry sky.

The supreme imperial might surged, causing all the myriad paths of heaven and earth to resound, immediately attracting the attention of the world.

"What a huge commotion! It seems that the Feathered Emperor is going to establish a powerful force to rule the world."

The commotion in the starry sky was immense; not only was the new emperor present, but a vast, dark mass of his people followed behind him.

Bringing their families along was clearly not just about relocating their clan's territory; it seemed more like they were preparing to establish a powerful force.

However, as the one who has attained enlightenment in this era, the Feathered Emperor naturally has no one to oppose his desire to rule the world and reign supreme.

"I wonder what kind of power the Feathered Emperor is planning to establish, and whether we can join in?" someone asked expectantly.

As a force established by the current emperor, it is destined to rule the world for at least 20,000 years. It is currently in its initial stages, and joining it would undoubtedly bring immense benefits.

Moreover, the Feathered Emperor was born into the human race, so he would not face the same open and covert resistance as the forces established by those who proved their Dao from other races.

The Buddhist sect established by the Great Emperor Amitabha is a case in point; even the Chu family did not object. This brought immense benefits to those who joined Buddhism in the beginning, and their blessings continue to this day.

Now that another human emperor has publicly established a power, it naturally arouses the longing of countless people, who can't wait to join him.

Just as the world was anticipating, the Feathered Emperor, treading the golden road and leading countless clansmen, finally arrived in the Big Dipper Star Region.

A vast and mighty aura of supreme power enveloped the sky, causing the beings on the ancient star of the Big Dipper to tremble and kneel down, shouting the name of the Ascension Emperor.

"I, the Emperor, have ascended to heaven. Today, I establish the Feathered Divine Dynasty on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, to rule the human world!"

"Ten years from now, I will preach the Great Dao in the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Those who are destined may come and listen!"

A majestic voice rang out, instantly spreading throughout the entire human realm. Countless beings, upon hearing this news, rushed towards the direction of the ancient Big Dipper star.

Some people might not care so much about an emperor establishing his power. But when an emperor preaches, even those of equal rank will not easily ignore him.

This was something the Feathered Emperor had intentionally done. On one hand, he wanted to use this opportunity to preach and promote his magnanimity, laying the foundation for his future rule over the world.

On the other hand, his people were of limited strength, and it was mostly beyond their capabilities to manage the divine dynasty and rule the human world.

Although he has the strength, Yu Hua cannot afford to waste his energy on this aspect and hinder his cultivation.

Yu Hua believed himself to be exceptionally talented, ranking among the top among those who had attained enlightenment throughout history, and was confident that he could embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

Soon, Emperor Yuhua successfully used the opportunity of preaching to win over countless powerful figures, and the entire Yuhua Divine Dynasty rapidly grew stronger, gradually becoming the number one power in the human realm.

During this process, no force interfered. Neither the Buddhist sect of Mount Sumeru, nor the Chu family of Tianji Ancient Star, nor any other extreme forces made any underhanded moves and fully cooperated.

The Feathered Emperor was also aware of the terrifying power of these extreme forces, so he chose to reciprocate by sharing a significant portion of the profits with the Chu family, the Buddhist sect, and other such forces. In this era, the Feathered Divine Dynasty became the most powerful force in the human realm, its influence extending throughout the universe, and its commands obeyed by all.

After the situation in the Feathered Divine Dynasty stabilized, the Feathered Emperor was relieved, concealed himself, and quietly left the Ancient Star of the Big Dipper.

This trip was exceptionally low-key, without alerting anyone.

Although he had already attained the status of a Great Emperor and was theoretically the strongest being in the human world, the Feathered Emperor knew that there were still many old beings in the human world who were dormant and undergoing transformation.

If he were to cause any major disturbance, his cultivation level might not be enough to protect Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and he might even lose his life.

People today understand that even among emperors, there are differences in strength. Generally speaking, the stronger one's physique, the greater one's power after attaining enlightenment.

In addition, each time these cultivators undergo another transformation, their cultivation level will increase dramatically.

Take the previous Killing Emperor for example. He had a lifespan of 30,000 years in one lifetime. His original form was suspected to be of immortal origin. The Heavenly Heart Mark clearly collapsed after the Killing Emperor lived a second life. Yu Hua firmly believed that this Killing Emperor was still 100% still in the mortal world.

Even if Yu Hua was arrogant, he knew that with only a little over a thousand years of experience in the Dao, he was no match for those old fogies.

Those who are able to embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world are among the best of all the Dao-proving beings throughout history, far beyond what he can contend with now.

Before long, the figure of the Feathered Emperor appeared near a blue star.

"Is this the ancient star of the primordial era? If it weren't for the guidance of the Immortal Treasure Map, it would probably take me a lot of time to search."

Yu Hua gazed at the azure stars before him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He could sense that dense array patterns were arranged near this ancient star of life, these patterns were extremely profound, some even beyond his comprehension.

These array patterns have a wide range of functions, not only to conceal the traces of the ancient star, but also to form a complex array that combines trapping, killing, and illusion.

Even if a supreme being personally intervenes, they might not be able to escape.

"As expected of someone who has mastered the art of source techniques, truly extraordinary." Emperor Yuhua exclaimed in amazement.

This formation is incredibly powerful; even if he were to force his way through, he would still have to pay a price. What surprised him even more was that, after millions of years, this supreme formation remained perfectly intact, without any missing parts.

As we all know, even a great formation left behind by a great emperor will gradually collapse and its power will greatly decrease over time.

However, in Yu Hua's perception, the great formation was still intact, without any flaws or omissions, and its power remained.

After studying it for a while, Yu Hua gave up when he saw that it was not effective. He had more important things to do and could not waste too much time here.

The next moment, Yu Hua, holding the Immortal Treasure Map, ignored the obstacles of the great formation and easily entered the interior of the ancient primordial star.

The moment Yu Hua stepped onto the ancient, primordial star, he felt a surge of rich spiritual energy wash over him. Looking around, he saw towering mountains, the cries of countless beasts, and exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere.

"As expected of the ancient star that nurtured the Immortal Cauldron, the essence of heaven and earth is so rich, even surpassing that of the Big Dipper."

What surprised Yu Hua even more was that on the ancient star of the primordial world, he saw the lineages of many mythical celestial beings, as well as some members of the clans of ancient emperors.

Aside from lacking supreme imperial weapons, these Celestial Venerable lineages and Great Emperor families are no less powerful than those supreme forces.

"What an extraordinary ancient star! No wonder it was able to produce so many Dao Prodigies," Yu Hua remarked with some emotion.

As far as he knew, in the mythological era alone, no fewer than ten Dao Prodigies were born on the ancient star of the primordial world. However, apart from the Emperor, they were basically all from the Kunlun remnants.

The ancient era was a period of stagnation, during which no one who had attained enlightenment was born.

In the ancient and desolate era, the ancient star rose again, giving birth to three Dao-proving beings: Emperor Fuxi, Emperor Nuwa, and the Immortal Emperor.

This number is too magnificent, far surpassing that of other ancient planets with life. In the Feathered Starfield, since the beginning of mythological records, he was the first being to attain enlightenment.

Other ancient life-bearing planets were similar, with only two or three at most, and most were ordinary ancient life-bearing planets that had not produced any Dao-proving beings.

This demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the ancient primordial star, and it is currently the most prosperous era for the human race, so it is highly likely that more Dao-proving beings will be born in the future.

"We could consider migrating some of our people from the ancient planet to establish a branch."

Yu Hua secretly plotted that after witnessing the extraordinary nature of the ancient star, he began to consider establishing a branch of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty on the ancient star, so that future Daoists might possess his bloodline.

At the same time, establishing branches would also benefit his descendants in taking control of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, a place of creation.
