The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 241 The Beginning

"The law of cause and effect is truly mysterious. Even though I have changed so many things, the Feathered Emperor still appeared. The Immortal Treasure Map and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron also fell into the hands of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. It seems that the future empress is about to be born."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Tianshu's figure suddenly appeared on the Undying Mountain.

The Thai king was overjoyed at the sudden appearance of the imperial figure and immediately went to greet him.

"Heavenly Emperor, you've returned?"

Since the last time Chu Tianshu appeared, it was tens of thousands of years ago when Emperor Xuanchen attained enlightenment. I never expected that the Heavenly Emperor would suddenly reappear in the mortal world today.

"I felt compelled to come back and take a look," Chu Tianshu nodded slightly.

Although he resides in the Ultimate Ancient Land, it doesn't mean he's unaware of what's happening in the human world. His temples are scattered throughout the entire human realm, and countless beings pray to him daily.

The power of faith is truly mysterious. Even on the infinitely distant other side, it can know about all things in the human world. Now that I have some free time, I'll take some time to come back and take a look.

Unexpectedly, this happened during the reign of the Feathered Emperor, and he happened to witness the catalyst for everything.

"Heavenly Emperor, do you intend to interfere in this matter?" The Thai Emperor asked, looking at the magnificent imperial figure before him.

Since leaving the mortal realm, the Heavenly Emperor has rarely concerned himself with human affairs; this is the first time he has mentioned this matter.

"Just let things take their course. There's no need to interfere." Chu Tianshu shook his head.

Although the Ruthless Great Emperor's childhood was a tragedy, such things actually happen every moment. The law of the jungle is the unchanging reality of the world, and there's no way to save someone from it.

Chu Tianshu had more important things to do and couldn't afford to waste his energy on such trivial matters.

If the ruthless emperor of later generations can grow up smoothly, he will naturally be able to make up for everything in the past. If he cannot grow up, everything is meaningless, and he will eventually turn into a handful of dust in this world.

Although it was ruthless, this was Chu Tianshu's true thought.

Perhaps in the eyes of those saintly figures, he was not a qualified Heavenly Emperor. He clearly had the ability to eliminate all forbidden zones of life, but he still did not take action, allowing those supreme beings in those forbidden zones to continue to eke out a living.

The Heavenly Emperor clearly knew how to achieve immortality in the mortal world, yet he refused to reveal the key to it to the world; calling him stingy would not be an exaggeration.

But they forgot a very important saying on the path of cultivation: the Dao cannot be lightly transmitted!
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and he has no obligation to reveal his method of becoming an immortal to the world.

Call him selfish or call him cold-blooded, Chu Tianshu doesn't care about the opinions of a bunch of ants.

On the contrary, if he hadn't confronted the high-ranking members of the Strange Clan in the Ultimate Ancient Land, the day the light of the Desolate Emperor's sword dissipated would have been the day the Strange Clan's grand sacrifice began, and all the heavens and myriad realms would have truly perished and fallen.

Leave only a few seeds, and harvest them later after they take root, sprout, flower, and bear fruit.

Moreover, in Chu Tianshu's view, if they can't even reverse their own life, even if he reveals the method of transformation, those people won't achieve much, and perhaps even Immortal Kings won't be able to attain it.

Allowing these people to live too long and occupy the Heavenly Heart Mark for too long will undoubtedly delay the birth of the three Heavenly Emperors in future generations.

This is a classic case of putting the cart before the horse, losing sight of the bigger picture for the sake of the small.

A group of second-generation emperors who are not even capable of attaining the status of a Celestial King would be better off simply passing away peacefully in the mortal realm. Why waste so much time and resources?

If he can live a second life, it naturally means he has value for cultivation, and the Thai King will guide him and will not let him truly end in regret.

Moreover, the strange race is about to sweep across the world, and Chu Tianshu has already vaguely sensed that the gaze of a being at the end of the road is fixed on him from above, with no attempt to conceal its malice.

If it weren't for the intervention of that Level-3 student, Ling Teng, he probably wouldn't have had the time to pay attention to worldly affairs.

However, it's only a matter of time before the Celestial Emperor of the Strange Clan makes his move, and even then, he might not be able to protect himself.

The Thai King nodded slightly; he knew a thing or two about the Heavenly Emperor's personality.

Every path is a choice made by oneself. The Heavenly Emperor may offer some guidance, but he will never interfere with other people's choices, much less impose his own ideas on others. Reaching that point depends entirely on one's own destiny.

This may be related to the Heavenly Emperor's experiences in his youth. He progressed too quickly on the path of cultivation, and no one could keep up with his pace. Therefore, he did not have any close friends, and naturally, he lacked human warmth.

Even after he attained enlightenment, he progressed too quickly on the path to immortality in the mortal world. No one could keep up with his pace. They always came and went in a hurry, one after another taking the stage.

"No one before me, no one after me"—this is a true reflection of the Heavenly Emperor's life.

Soon, the two stopped paying attention to what was happening within the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

"Heavenly Emperor, you mentioned last time that you found a few small cockroaches in the Ultimate Ancient Land. I wonder if you could track them down to their hiding place?"

"We killed a few of them who were covering the rear, but we couldn't find where they were hiding," Chu Tianshu sighed.

After achieving Quasi-Immortal Emperor status, he began purifying the Ultimate Ancient Land. By chance, he discovered that supreme beings were secretly observing him. After some probing, he indeed drew the attention of several supreme beings. However, they clearly underestimated Chu Tianshu's terrifying power, believing that he had only recently become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and his strength was limited.

As a result, he was instantly defeated by Chu Tianshu. The strange Quasi-Immortal Emperor, realizing what had happened, immediately sent several people to entangle Chu Tianshu, then erased his own traces and escaped.

After that, although Chu Tianshu was determined to find out where the little cockroaches were hiding, the strange clan also knew his strength and dared not confront him. They played hide-and-seek with him in the Ultimate Ancient Land.

It was because of this battle that a Celestial Emperor-level being from the heavens set his sights on him.

"Alright, you can handle the affairs of the human realm. If there's anything important, just think about it in your mind, and I'll respond whenever I have time." After Chu Tianshu finished speaking, his imperial figure gradually dimmed.

"May His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor ascend to the Celestial Emperor position soon and quell the turmoil in the heavens."

The Thai King bowed slightly, but when he raised his head again, the Heavenly Emperor was no longer there.

In the blink of an eye, another five thousand years passed. The Heavenly Heart Mark above the Nine Heavens suddenly collapsed, and the world realized that the invincible Emperor of Feathered Ascension, who had lived for thirty thousand years, had passed away peacefully.

However, some speculate that the Feathered Emperor may not have actually passed away, and may still be lying dormant in the mortal realm.

But no matter what, as long as we endure the arduous period of ten thousand years, new enlightened beings will be born in the human world.

Although the Emperor Yuhua has passed away, his remaining power and imperial weapons still exist. The Yuhua Divine Dynasty still acts as the sovereign of the world and continues to act domineeringly.

Not long after the fall of the Feathered Emperor, the current emperor took the Immortal Treasure Map into Kunlun Immortal Mountain and placed the Immortal Ascension Cauldron in the Immortal Nurturing Land, hoping to use the fortune of the ninety-nine Dragon Mountains to restore this supreme treasure.

However, the Feathered Divine Dynasty soon discovered that, relying solely on the Immortal Nurturing Ground, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years for the Immortal Cauldron to return to its peak.

This period of time is too long, and some people can't wait. They suggested sprinkling the essence and blood of people with special constitutions on it, which might have a miraculous effect.

Soon, the Feathered God Dynasty took action, secretly capturing a group of people with special physiques and splashing their essence blood onto the broken Immortal Ascension Cauldron. Sure enough, the cracks on the Immortal Ascension Cauldron began to shrink.

Moreover, the higher the cultivation level of a special physique, the better the effect of their essence and blood.

This prompted the Feathered Divine Dynasty to harbor wicked intentions. Under the guise of recruiting geniuses, they recruited individuals with special physiques from across the human realm and brought them back to the Divine Dynasty for training.

However, the Feathered Divine Dynasty was very cunning. In order to prevent their affairs from being exposed, they did not recruit any of the geniuses from major forces, but instead selected those with special physiques who had no background to cultivate.

To be on the safe side, they only taught these people methods of physical cultivation, not methods of killing, treating them like pigs.

Every so often, the Feathered Divine Dynasty would secretly bring a group of geniuses with special physiques into Kunlun Immortal Mountain, kill them, and splatter their blood essence onto the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

As for the outside world, the Feathered Divine Dynasty lied and claimed that most of these geniuses had failed their tribulations, and would occasionally release a few to verify the official statement of the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

After all this, although people still had doubts, they dared not come to investigate. After all, the Feathered Divine Dynasty was an extreme power that they could not contend with.

From then on, the Feathered Divine Dynasty completely unleashed its power and gradually became more and more unscrupulous in its actions.

However, the Feathered Divine Dynasty still dared not take action against those extreme forces, lest it incur public wrath.

In the blink of an eye, about ten thousand years had passed. The Great Dao of the Feathered Emperor in the Nine Heavens began to disintegrate, and the Heavenly Heart Mark became empty once again.

The Great Era of Contention has begun, and countless geniuses have entered the ancient starry road, preparing to vie for the throne of this era.

The entire human realm was captivated by the ancient starry road, and other matters were gradually overlooked.

This was undoubtedly great news for the Feathered Divine Dynasty. They simply abandoned the traditional method of recruiting disciples, believing it to be too slow and inefficient, and decided to send people to plunder instead.

In order to collect information on special physical constitutions as quickly as possible, they crafted a special artifact to detect them and search the heavens and earth.

One day, when the Feathered God Dynasty was conducting its routine search of the ancient Big Dipper Star, the search team suddenly discovered an anomaly above the secret treasure: a golden phantom of blood and energy appeared.

"No... the Indestructible Golden Body, it's the Indestructible Golden Body! Traces of the Indestructible Golden Body have been discovered in the Eastern Wilderness!"

In an instant, news of the indestructible golden body reached the ears of the current emperor of the Feathered God Dynasty.

This overjoyed him, as the indestructible golden body was one of the most coveted physiques of their Feathered Divine Dynasty, something they dreamed of obtaining.

However, the Undying Golden Body lineage is not to be trifled with. They have also produced a Great Emperor, and the Great Perfection of the Undying Golden Body can fight against Supreme Beings. Their strength is much greater than that of their Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, in this grand era of the Great Dao struggle, an indestructible golden body has emerged on the ancient star of the Big Dipper.

"Immediately send someone to investigate and find out the origin of this immortal golden body. Do not act rashly!" The Feathered Emperor calmed down.
