The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 247 The Celestial Emperor Taiyi's Immortal Path in the Mortal World

As soon as the Empress stepped inside the bronze coffin, she saw a fragment that looked like a silkworm's molt in one corner of the coffin.

She slightly reached out, and a fragment flew straight towards her, landing in the Empress's palm.

The fragments were milky white, like a piece of precious jade, warm to the touch, and covered with many complex Dao runes.

In particular, the aura on the fragments was extremely similar to her original body, indicating that she was also a chaotic being.

However, upon closer examination, there is still a fundamental difference between the two, although the aura is similar to that of the Xuan Chen Emperor of the Chu family.

Emperor Xuanchen had only recently transformed into a Chaos Body, and this place clearly indicates that it was a place where someone had transcended the Chaos Body. It could not possibly be Emperor Xuanchen. This is why the Empress was certain that this was the place where Emperor Taiyi had transformed.

Soon, the Empress discovered part of the truth about what happened back then by studying the fragments inside the bronze coffin.

"In one of his lifetimes, did the Supreme Heavenly Emperor complete his transformation within the giant bronze coffin and transcend from his chaotic state?"

The Empress had always wanted to break free from the chaotic body and had been researching the corresponding transformation method, but the results were not significant.

She originally planned to go out and find the elixir of immortality after some time, and live a third life with the help of its power.

After studying it for two lifetimes, it should be possible to transcend the chaotic body.

Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that she actually found the place where the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi had transformed back then, and it just so happened to be the one in which he transcended from the chaotic body.

For some reason, after the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor successfully transformed, he did not collect these fragments, but left them inside the bronze coffin.

These fragments are quite extraordinary. They originated from a chaotic entity, which was a Heavenly Emperor-level being that had undergone several transformations. They were more than capable of forging supreme imperial weapons.

However, the Empress was not so short-sighted. She already had the Devouring Demon Jar, and continuing to refine the Supreme Emperor Weapon was not as suitable as the Devouring Demon Jar.

Moreover, the research value of these fragments far surpasses that of refining the ultimate imperial weapon. At least the Empress saw a lot of information in these fragments, including not only the Chaos Body, but also two other physiques.

These two constitutions are inherited from the same lineage. She was familiar with the first one, which was the famous Heavenly Overlord Physique. The second one was much stronger and carried a majestic heavenly aura, which was very likely the legendary Overlord Immortal Physique.

"In his first life, he attained the Dao with the Overlord Body; in his second life, he transformed into the Overlord Immortal Body; in his third life, he transformed into the Chaos Body; and in his fourth life, he transcended the Chaos Body. Is this the mortal immortal path of the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor back then?"

The Empress looked at the fragments in her palm, her eyes lighting up. From these fragments, she could see that the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi's path to immortality in the mortal world had a clear progressive relationship, and it was not something that was done on a whim.

Climbing the steps, this is probably why the Supreme Heavenly Emperor was able to become the first being in the mortal world to achieve the status of a mortal immortal.

At the same time, this also gave the Empress great inspiration. The fragment contained a lot of information, including not only information about the previous lives of the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor, but also some traces of reverse transformation.

These fragments alone are enough to save her tens of thousands of years and eliminate some wrong paths, which is more precious to her than obtaining a celestial artifact.

If she could comprehend this information, she might be able to create several methods of transformation and travel a long distance on the path to immortality in the mortal world. This would be far better than refining an ultimate imperial weapon.

Let's contemplate this place first!

The Empress sat cross-legged, surrounded by fragments of all sizes, each emitting a faint light, like a galaxy, swirling around her.

The mountain of immortality.

The Thai King, who was in seclusion and undergoing arduous cultivation, suddenly felt a familiar aura being stirred. He immediately traveled back in time and saw the scene of the Empress stepping into the bronze coffin.

"A giant bronze coffin? The ruthless Empress has found the place where the Heavenly Emperor secluded himself back then?"

The Thai King was no stranger to the bronze coffin. It was he who personally awakened the fallen Emperor Taiyi, allowing him to revive from endless depravity and successfully live out his fourth incarnation.

This giant coffin is very mysterious. The Heavenly Emperor once said that it originated from an incredible and great being and is an unparalleled treasure. Even true immortals cannot approach it without permission.

"No wonder the Heavenly Emperor didn't take the fragment with him back then; was it deliberately left for the Empress?" the Thai King pondered.

As far as we know, this empress's path to immortality was also full of hardships. In her fourth life, she encountered a major problem and almost died in the Bronze Immortal Palace. In another life, she fell into a daze.

Perhaps it was for this reason that when the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi left the bronze coffin, he did not take away the fragments of his old body, but wanted to leave them to those destined to step into the bronze coffin in future generations.

Especially the ruthless empress, who might make her path to immortality in the mortal world a little easier.

Having the experience of predecessors to refer to and exploring on your own are two completely different things. The latter is much more difficult, and you might fall into a big pit and be completely buried at any time.

"Judging from this, the Empress's path to immortality in the mortal world doesn't need much guidance."

The Thai King had originally intended to remind the Empress, but now that he had the fragment of the Heavenly Emperor's transformation as a reference, he abandoned the idea.

With the Empress's talent, she should be able to glean a lot of information from the fragments, and might even be able to deduce a path to immortality in the mortal world.

The fact that she could devour the world with her useless body and research the Chaos Body is enough to demonstrate the Empress's talent. The fragments might be difficult for others to understand, but they were not a problem for the Empress.

Afterward, the Thai Emperor ceased paying attention to the bronze coffin and continued his arduous cultivation. He possessed some of the memories of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor and knew the path to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Over the years, his strength had progressed rapidly, and he had already reached the level of a Celestial King, making significant strides within that realm.

He achieved the status of a Celestial King in just four or five hundred thousand years, a rapid pace rarely seen even in ancient history.

Thousands of years later, the Empress emerged from the bronze coffin and continued her travels among humans, while also searching for the elixir of immortality.

She was preparing to transcend the Chaos Body, but even with the evidence of the fragments, there was still a great risk in directly breaking free from the Chaos Body in her third life.

Therefore, the Empress decided to find an elixir of immortality, hoping to use its power to live a third life and then transcend from her chaotic body. This would greatly increase her chances of success.

She wasn't impatient for quick results or determined to transcend the chaotic body in her third life. After all, for her, the longer her lifespan, the better; perhaps she could see a similar flower again.

If she could win her brother back, she wouldn't care about the throne or the immortal realm.

One day, while the Empress was traveling through the mortal realm, she suddenly felt a sudden urge to act.

"That's...chaos?"

Following the direction of her sudden impulse, the Empress looked and in the blink of an eye, she pierced through billions of time and space, and saw a boundless chaos.

"It seems like another great opportunity?"

The Empress was somewhat surprised. Since she lived her second life, things seemed to be different. She was no longer as unlucky as she was in her first life, and all sorts of rare and precious treasures seemed to avoid her.

Not only did they encounter the legendary place of transformation of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, but another great opportunity was about to arrive.

The next moment, the Empress pierced through the void and stepped into the chaos.

Soon, she pinpointed the location that had caught her attention and headed towards it.

In the vast chaos, a peerless figure moved at lightning speed, and wherever he passed, the originally violent chaotic energy immediately quieted down and became extremely docile.

After an unknown amount of time, the Empress finally arrived at a chaotic void. However, apart from the chaotic air currents, there seemed to be nothing there, as if it were all her illusion.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Empress raised her hand and unleashed her ultimate divine power, slamming it fiercely into the chaotic void.

boom!
In an instant, the entire chaos seemed to boil, with ripples spreading outwards, stirring up boundless strange phenomena and shattering endless space and time.

Click, click, click!
A cracking sound came from the place that had just been bombarded by the supreme divine power, and then it exploded completely, revealing a magnificent bronze immortal palace.

Boundless celestial light poured down from the bronze celestial palace, its power shaking the past and present, as if illuminating the past, present, and future.

On that bronze immortal palace, countless immortal laws intertwined, demonstrating the ultimate principles of immortality.

The power of the Immortal Palace is terrifying; when unleashed at full strength, it can unleash its complete ultimate combat power.

"Immortal weapon?"

The Empress was astonished when she saw the bronze immortal palace before her. There were only a handful of immortal artifacts in the mortal realm, you could count them on one hand.

The first item is the Desolate Tower, which is said to have been personally crafted by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. However, he did not take the Desolate Tower with him before entering the Immortal Realm, but left it in the mortal world.

The second item is the Immortal Bell, which is said to have been born from the Kunlun Immortal Mountain and belonged to the Kunlun remnants. It displayed great power at the end of the mythological era, and the Undying Emperor, who had not yet attained enlightenment, relied on the Immortal Bell to severely injure the Emperor.

However, some people say that the Immortal Bell was not born from Kunlun Mountain, but was just recuperating there.

The third artifact, the Origin Cauldron of All Things, also known as the Cauldron of Immortality, was a true immortal artifact nurtured in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain. It was destroyed by the various deities at the end of the mythological era, and the remaining one-third of the cauldron was completely destroyed in her own hands.

The fourth item is the Chu family's immortal sword, which was personally forged by the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor and has been guarding the mortal realm ever since, and is controlled by the Chu family.

Aside from these few, the one closest to a celestial artifact is probably the Heaven-Reaching Nether Treasure of the Underworld Lord. Some have personally witnessed that when the Source Emperor attacked the Underworld, the Heaven-Reaching Nether Treasure was already able to unleash its full ultimate battle power.

The Empress never expected that there was a bronze immortal palace in the chaos, and that it was destined to be with her. Judging from its power, it was far superior to the ultimate imperial weapon.

Upon sensing the Empress's aura, the Bronze Immortal Palace immediately withdrew, emanating a hazy immortal light, and flew towards her.

"Are we truly destined to be together?"

The Empress looked at the docile bronze immortal palace in her palm. She hadn't expected that this immortal artifact would offer no resistance whatsoever; it was unbelievably docile.

The bronze palace floated in the Empress's palm, and a hazy consciousness sent out a message, pointing once again to the depths of chaos.

Soon, the Empress understood the meaning of the Bronze Immortal Palace.

"A chaotic miniature world?"
