The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 250 Witnessing the Heavenly Emperor's Transformation

Without the obstruction of the formation, the Empress easily entered the interior of the Chaotic Small World.

In an instant, an extremely rich essence of heaven and earth rushed over, and all kinds of rare divine materials were scattered all over the ground as if they were free.

A dazzling light emanated from it; even the worst of these treasures were saint-level divine materials, enough to drive people mad and even cause them to fight.

However, the Empress only glanced at them and didn't pay much attention. These materials were useless to her, and no matter how many there were, it wouldn't matter. What truly interested her were the Nine Great Immortal Golds, which were immortal materials that could be used to forge supreme imperial weapons.

And coincidentally, there are quite a few of the nine immortal golds in the Chaos Small World. Even the extremely rare Heavenly Fate Orange Gold has a considerable reserve here, enough for her to refine several heavy weapons.

Rumble!
The Empress reached out and grabbed, and in an instant, nine radiant halos flew out from all directions, each carrying its own unique Daoist charm, and surrounded the Empress.

These pieces of celestial gold are substantial, gleaming and dazzling. Each piece is the size of a stone millstone, making them rare and priceless treasures.

Even with Chu Tianshu's support, it wouldn't be easy for the mortal realm to nurture such a large amount of immortal gold.

There was still plenty of immortal gold in the Chaotic Small World, and the Empress did not take it all. For her, enough immortal gold was sufficient, and it was far less precious than the ghost mask and bronze ring she wore.

She plans to use the nine immortal metals to forge an immortal sword to enhance her offensive power.

However, she wasn't in a hurry. The Chaotic Minor World was full of treasures, not just the Nine Great Immortal Golds. At least she sensed a special place, shrouded in a natural array that could actually block her primordial spirit's detection, which piqued her curiosity.

Swish!
In an instant, the empress's figure disappeared from the void, and when she reappeared, a majestic divine mountain stood before her.

This sacred mountain is majestic, exuding an otherworldly aura, as if it did not originate from the human world. There is also a faint wisp of strange substance emanating from it, which slows down the passage of time.

"This is the substance that grants longevity?"

The Empress captured a wisp of strange substance and began to study it carefully.

Legend has it that the longevity substance is very special and can slow down the signs of aging. It is said that there was enough longevity substance in the human world in an untraceable ancient era.

Back then, cultivators who achieved a certain level of cultivation could easily live for more than ten thousand years, and those supreme beings were even more extraordinary, almost never dying of old age.

However, with the great changes in the world, the longevity substances in the human world rapidly dissipated. Without the existence of longevity substances, the lifespan of cultivators also decreased sharply. Even beings who had already attained the ultimate Dao fruit had a lifespan of only a little over ten thousand years.

Even the once-immortal medicine has completely degenerated, turning into an elixir of immortality.

The reason why the elixir of immortality can help people live a second life is because of the longevity substance contained within it, which extends the lifespan of the supreme being and allows him to regain his youth.

The Empress discovered a considerable amount of longevity substances in the sacred mountain, enough for several supreme beings to use.

Besides the longevity substances, there are also many divine medicines on the sacred mountain, but the Empress doesn't care, as these divine medicines are useless to beings of her level.

Unfortunately, she did not find any trace of the elixir of immortality within the sacred mountain. Perhaps it once existed, but was taken away by the Heavenly Emperor.

Not long after, the Empress found a special place on the sacred mountain.

Located atop the sacred mountain, there stands a large, unremarkable blue stone, which at first glance appears to have nothing special about it.

However, the Empress sensed a unique aura on the large blue stone, along with a unique Daoist charm flowing there.

"Did the Heavenly Emperor once seclude himself in this place for a long period of time?"

An ordinary cultivator might have misjudged this place. But the Empress was different. She held a fragment of the Heavenly Emperor's transformation and had personally fought against the Heavenly Emperor's mark, so she was no stranger to the Heavenly Emperor's Dao.

In particular, she sensed a profound Daoist aura unique to the Chaos Body on the large blue stone. Therefore, the Empress concluded that the Heavenly Emperor had once been in seclusion on the large blue stone for an extended period.

Especially because this large blue stone has been imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Emperor for a long time, its essence has undergone earth-shattering changes, making it no less than the nine great immortal metals, and enough to forge an ultimate imperial weapon.

Unbeknownst to her, the Empress walked to the large blue stone. Sensing the extraordinary nature of this place, she immediately sat down cross-legged.

In an instant, endless Daoist energy unfolded before the Empress, and her mind seemed to traverse endless time and space, vaguely seeing a majestic figure.

The imperial figure was supremely magnificent, but its face was extremely blurry, even the Empress could not see it clearly. The imperial figure sat cross-legged on a large blue stone, surrounded by myriad paths, exuding a majestic heavenly aura that inspired people to bow down in worship.

Although the Empress could not see the Heavenly Emperor's face clearly, she still inadvertently saw a wisp of white hair, confirming that the figure in front of her was in his later years.

"Could this be the process by which the Second Heavenly Emperor transformed into a chaotic body in his later years?"

The Empress's expression turned solemn. The transformation of a legendary Heavenly Emperor, especially a transformation into a chaotic body, made her take it very seriously.

She was able to transform into a chaotic body by devouring the origins of the special physiques of countless geniuses, and then fusing these origins into a single entity to evolve into chaos.

However, the chaotic body achieved through this method was incomplete, lacking certain aspects. That's why she created the Undying Heavenly Art, using her aged body to nurture a divine embryo, thus achieving a flawless chaotic body. The path of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, on the other hand, was entirely different; according to popular legend, he seemed to follow the path of yin and yang harmony, the creation of chaos.

As the saying goes, "The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade."

If she could understand the process by which the Supreme Heavenly Emperor evolved into the Chaotic Body, she would have a clearer understanding of this constitution and a better grasp of how to transcend it in the future.

This is far more valuable to the Empress than any immortal gold or elixir of immortality, and it has immense reference value.

Soon after, the emperor's figure began to undergo a tremendous change, with endless chaotic Dao aura descending from his body, his power extremely terrifying.

Gradually, the Heavenly Emperor's figure was eroded by chaos, turning into a mass of chaotic energy that floated on the bluestone, demonstrating the profound mystery of the Great Dao of Chaos.

The Great Dao intertwined, chaos roared, and the entire world was submerged by the endless chaotic Dao rhythm. From the darkness, a grand Dao sound came, expounding the Great Dao of Chaos.

The Empress dared not be negligent and hurriedly began to comprehend the Chaos Dao before her. At the same time, she compared the Heavenly Emperor's Chaos Dao with her own Devouring Heaven Demon Art and Undying Heaven Art, and countless inspirations arose in her heart.

In an instant, the Empress felt her cultivation level begin to rise rapidly, and her understanding of the Chaos Body became more and more thorough.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic Dao on the bluestone finally finished its performance, and the swirling chaotic energy began to undergo tremendous changes, with flesh, organs, bones, and fur appearing one by one.

During this process, the potential gates located deep within the human body also emerge continuously, like a galaxy of stars, spreading throughout every corner of the body.

Soon, a young figure reappeared on the bluestone, enveloped by a chaotic mist, with boundless radiance flowing around him, illustrating the mysteries of chaos.

"Is this the process by which the Heavenly Emperor transformed into the Chaos Body? I can sense that he opened far more doors of human potential than I did," the Empress murmured to herself.

Although they are all chaotic beings, there are still differences in their physical constitution. In addition to human factors, the number of potential gates that have been opened is also a difference.

The more potential gates you unlock, the higher your potential will naturally be.

Through contemplation, the Empress discovered that the reason why the Heavenly Emperor's Chaotic Body had opened up more potential gates than hers was that the Heavenly Emperor had already mastered the complete Dao of Chaos before his transformation.

Especially since the Heavenly Emperor had already undergone a transformation before this, his research on the secrets of the human body was far superior to hers.

This is why the Heavenly Emperor's Chaos Body has more potential gates than his own.

After witnessing the Heavenly Emperor's transformation, the Empress did not rush to get up. Instead, she remained seated and began to organize her gains.

After comparing it with the fragments in her hand, the Empress discovered that the Heavenly Emperor's path to immortality in the mortal world in his first three lives followed a path from simplicity to complexity.

Through repeated transformations, one's physique continuously improves, progressing from a powerful body to a powerful immortal body to a chaotic body, unlocking the potential of the human body as much as possible.

However, in the fourth incarnation, the Heavenly Emperor resolutely abandoned the Chaos Body.

The Empress speculated that this might also be related to the gates of human potential, as the Chaos Body could not reveal all the gates of human potential.

Compared to the Heavenly Emperor's Chaotic Body alone, there is a significant difference in the number of potential gates she possesses.

The Chaotic Body represents the pinnacle of human physical constitution, encompassing all possible constitutions. If even the Chaotic Body cannot unlock the full potential of the human body, then perhaps simplification will be the ultimate solution.

The fragment in the Empress's hand has proven that the Heavenly Emperor's path is not problematic.

The idea is correct, but whether it will work depends on the individual's talent and luck.

However, the Empress believed that this was no challenge for her. She was able to attain enlightenment with a body that was incapable of cultivation, and her talent was second to none. She was confident that she could successfully walk the path to immortality in the mortal world.

Several thousand years later, the Empress finally ended her seclusion. The gains from this seclusion were great. Not only did it greatly increase her cultivation, but it also allowed her to see the path ahead and understand the key to the immortal path in the mortal world.

This was of great significance to the Empress, as it saved her from taking many detours.

Although her seclusion had ended, the Empress was not in a hurry to return. Instead, she took out the nine immortal metals and forged an immortal sword in the chaos.

Soon after, the immortal sword cleaved through the boundless lightning tribulation, its power overwhelming the chaos.

Only after she had finished all this did the Empress leisurely head back to the mortal realm.

She didn't have much time left to live, less than ten thousand years, and she wanted to find the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality. Although the longevity substance in the sacred mountain could allow her to live a third life, the Empress didn't want to waste it if it wasn't necessary.

Unlike elixirs of immortality, longevity substances do not have the concept of drug resistance and can be kept for critical moments to prolong life.
