The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 43: Another stroke of luck?
Compared to Chu Liufeng, who is old and frail and may pass away at any time, this is a stark contrast.

The Moon King and the Sun King were undoubtedly much younger. Both of them were geniuses born after the revival of heaven and earth, and at this time they were only four or five thousand years old, with a considerable lifespan ahead of them.

Upon seeing the two, Chu Liufeng seemed to have returned to his younger self, and for a moment he was lost in thought.

After a long while, Chu Liufeng finally came to his senses. "Young friends, may I ask what brings you to my Chu family today?"

Previously, Chu Tianshu had intentionally revealed that both major religious sects and the Chu family had gained considerable benefits from his process of sorting out the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

Countless hidden geniuses and ancient relics participated in that major event, leading to a rapid increase in the strength of the human race.

The return of the two Emperors' Dao-proving artifacts has raised the strength of the two major sects to a new level.

At this time, the human race was at its peak, and no race in the human universe dared to provoke it.

Even those ancient royal families and celestial lineages had to give way to the human race in this world.

However, the leaders of the two major religions visited the Chu family together, which made Chu Liufeng somewhat suspicious.

“Senior, His Majesty Taiyi has not appeared in the mortal world for a full eight thousand years.”

"We are somewhat worried that in the Emperor's later years, those terrifying beings lurking in the forbidden zones of life may launch an attack against him."

"That's why Si Yue and I came together, hoping to protect the Emperor." Sun King Yao Hao said, his expression full of determination.

Based on the lifespan calculations of ancient emperors, each emperor, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would typically have a lifespan of around 12,000 to 15,000 years.

The current state of the human realm is far worse than in the ancient times, with cultivators at all levels experiencing a slight reduction in lifespan.

In Yao Hao's view, the Great Emperor Taiyi should have reached the end of his life by now.

After all, Chu Tianshu has been practicing Taoism for so many years, and some of his early deeds have already been dug up by people.

For example, as everyone knows, when the Great Emperor Taiyi attained enlightenment, he was already three thousand years old.

Now, more than nine thousand years have passed since he attained enlightenment, and his lifespan has exceeded twelve thousand years, which far exceeds the imagination of the world.

If Emperor Taiyi cannot live to have a second life, it is likely that in a few hundred years, Emperor Taiyi will pass away.

Of course, the above are merely the opinions of Yao Hao and others.

“Sun King, Moon King, you two are overthinking it!” Chu Liufeng shook his head.

"At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Mark hanging high above the heavens remains extremely stable. The Great Emperor is still at his peak and has not declined in the slightest."

Compared to people from later generations like Yao Hao and Si Yue, Chu Liufeng, an old man who had climbed over the difficult times, was more able to appreciate Chu Tianshu's extraordinary qualities.

Despite the extremely severe suppression of the Great Dao, Chu Tianshu was still able to go against the tide, break through all blockades and suppressions, and defy the heavens to prove the Dao.

The ultimate Dao fruit that Chu Tianshu obtained must have exceeded the imagination of the world.

Later, during the few times he made his move in the mortal world, Chu Liufeng also witnessed some of the magnificence of this first emperor of the ancient times.

Furthermore, Chu Tianshu had already attained enlightenment through a special physique, and after his ultimate leap, the increase in his lifespan due to his physique far exceeded what people could imagine.

Chu Liufeng even boldly guessed that his second grandfather would probably live to be at least 5,000 years old, and that Yao Hao and Si Yue might even live past Chu Tianshu.

"This"

Yao Hao and Si Yue exchanged bewildered glances, wondering where Chu Liufeng's confidence came from.

In their view, the reason why the Heavenly Heart Mark was so stable was probably due to Chu Tianshu's full efforts.

To prevent the Heavenly Heart Imprint from becoming unstable and attracting the attention of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.

Throughout history, there have been many instances of emperors encountering great calamities in their later years. The two of them came to the Chu family hoping to lend a helping hand to this human emperor and prevent him from meeting a tragic end.

Just as the group was chatting, Chu Tianshu's seclusion finally came to an end.

In a grand hall hidden deep within the chaos, numerous imperial array patterns sealed the place, preventing any trace of its aura from leaking out.

This is where Chu Tianshu secluded himself for cultivation.

He has been in seclusion here for eight thousand years since he finished sorting out the myriad paths of heaven and earth.

Inside the main hall, the majestic imperial figure that had been sitting cross-legged on the platform had disappeared.

Instead, there was an extremely thick purple mist.

This purple mist seemed to be a rare and precious treasure, its surging and rolling revealing all the principles of the universe, as if it had revealed the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

This purple mist sometimes transforms into mountains and rivers, and sometimes into the sun, moon and stars. Countless principles of the Dao intertwine and collide within the mist, seemingly evolving into a world of its own.

At the same time, strange celestial sounds faintly emanated from the void, like the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers, or like immortals playing music, which invigorated people's spirits.

If someone were to listen, they might even enter a state of enlightenment and make great progress in their cultivation.

Inside the main hall, strange phenomena appeared one after another, such as golden lotuses growing in the sea of ​​suffering, the bright moon rising from the sea, and celestial kings descending from the heavens.

The entire hall was set off in a way that made it seem like a fairyland, dreamlike and ethereal, as if a celestial realm had descended to earth.

Suddenly, the purple mist on the platform contracted rapidly, condensing into a hazy imperial figure in a very short time.

Then a skeleton resembling celestial jade appeared, densely inscribed with Dao principles, like an unparalleled imperial weapon.

Immediately, flesh, blood, meridians, and organs reappeared one by one. Before long, the hazy imperial figure turned from illusory to real, and a majestic imperial body appeared on the platform.

An endless imperial might descended from Chu Tianshu, seemingly about to crush space and time.

His vital energy was at its peak, and a vast and boundless purple ocean appeared above his head.

Chu Tianshu nodded in satisfaction; he was now far stronger than he had been eight thousand years ago.

If Chu Tianshu was merely a newcomer to the Heavenly Emperor realm, his unbridled behavior stemmed from his mastery of offensive and ruthless tactics.

At this moment, Chu Tianshu was essentially reborn, his cultivation greatly increased, and he truly took a big step on the path to becoming the Heavenly Emperor.

Not only did it deduce the transformation method of the second life, but it also elevated the way of killing to a new level, perfecting several forbidden killing moves, making its offensive power far exceed that of the past.

At the same time, he also iterated the "Taiyi Ancient Scripture" and rebuilt all five secret realms.

"Although I don't know how far the Immortal Emperor has gone on the path to immortality in the mortal world, I am no longer afraid of him in the slightest."

Although Chu Tianshu had never witnessed the Undying Emperor in action, judging from his ambush of the late-life Fighting Saint Emperor 100,000 years ago, the gap between them should not be too large.

As fellow Heavenly Emperors, and with himself currently at his peak, Chu Tianshu was not afraid of the Undying Heavenly Emperor even if he were to truly emerge.

Moreover, he has already thoroughly deduced the path of the evolution of the Overlord Body and has reached a critical juncture.

If Chu Tianshu is willing, he can live a second life at any time, and his strength will definitely see a qualitative improvement then.

If the Undying Emperor really dares to make a move, Chu Tianshu will definitely give him a big surprise.

"what?"

"Why do I have this sudden urge? Could it be that I'm about to hit the jackpot again?"
