The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 60 Taiyin Taiyang Shaoyin Shaoyang
In the darkness, countless beings set their gaze upon the ancient star of the Big Dipper.

At this moment, the Great Emperor Taiyi is confronting many forbidden zones of life on the ancient star of the Big Dipper. With the Heavenly Heart Mark shaking, the supreme beings of those forbidden zones may not be able to sit still and choose to emerge into the world.

At that time, it is very likely that another catastrophic disaster will occur.

At this moment, both the human race and other ancient races were plunged into panic.

At the same time, the anomaly of the Heavenly Heart Mark also awakened those supreme beings in the forbidden zones.

Terrifying auras awakened from the various forbidden zones of life.

"The Heavenly Heart Mark is shaking so violently, could it be that Taiyi is about to pass away?" A questioning voice came from the Undying Mountain.

Logically speaking, only a thousand years have passed since the Heavenly Heart Mark first trembled. Even an ordinary Supreme Being could easily endure it for one or two thousand years.

Chu Tianshu has a special physique and extremely strong strength, so it's impossible for him not to last a thousand years.

"Humph!"

"Ignore it. This must be a little trick by Taiyi, trying to launch a counterattack before we are completely cornered."

"If he were to emerge now, he might take away several fellow cultivators."

A cold snort came from the forbidden zone of the Samsara Sea, stirring up towering waves in the Samsara Sea.

The scene of Chu Tianshu slaying the four emperors a thousand years ago is still vivid in my mind.

Back then, the supreme beings considered themselves invincible, and Emperor Taiyi was also entering his later years.

In a four-on-one situation, they would be able to quickly eliminate an elderly emperor.

That's why he boldly emerged, intending to hunt down Chu Tianshu and devour his life essence before the other Venerables could make their move.

The other supreme beings in the restricted area felt that things were not so simple and were worried that there was a trap, so they did not choose to emerge.

As expected, the four ancient emperors who had emerged from the world never returned, allowing all living beings to witness once again the might of the Great Emperor Taiyi.

At this moment, although the Heavenly Heart Mark above the Nine Heavens was shaking, the Taiyi Emperor's fierce suppression of the Great Dao was gradually weakening.

But in the eyes of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, it was nothing more than an illusion deliberately created by Chu Tianshu, who felt he still had the strength to fight while he was still in good condition.

"In another thousand years, even if Taiyi does not pass away, he will probably be at the point where his vital energy is depleted and he will be unable to regain his peak condition."

"If we are born together again then, we will surely be able to make a decisive decision!"

Haste makes waste; as the supreme rulers of the restricted area, they have plenty of time and patience.

Otherwise, they would suffer the same fate as those previous supreme beings, completely perishing at Chu Tianshu's hands.

In a short while, the terrifying aura that had been hanging over the various forbidden zones gradually dissipated.

City of God.

Inside a certain main hall.

The dense black and white energies divided the heaven and earth, clearly separated, and faintly, endless Yin and Yang Daoist principles flowed from the black and white energies, seemingly evolving the birth and death of the universe.

"Hey!"

"A thousand years is nothing more than a superficial understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang!"

With a soft sigh, Chu Tianshu slowly opened his eyes.

As everyone knows, the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor ascended to the realm of ultimate Dao respectively through the Dao of the Sun and the Dao of the Moon.

Later generations even spread rumors that if one could cultivate the ancient scriptures of the two holy emperors to the point of achieving harmony between yin and yang, one could break through the shackles and attain the supreme imperial throne.

However, this was not what Chu Tianshu wanted. He had already reached the pinnacle of power, so why would he need the throne of the pinnacle?

To fuse Yin and Yang and comprehend the Dao of Chaos, one cannot achieve this solely through the Dao of the Sun and the Dao of the Moon.

Only by comprehending the complete principles of Yin and Yang, and understanding their harmony, can one see the chaos within.

There are four stages in the entire Yin-Yang Dao: Taiyin, Taiyang, Shaoyin, and Shaoyang.

In the concept of the Moon and the Sun, if the Moon represents the beginning of all things and the starting point of their evolution, then the Sun represents the end point of their evolution. The Moon is the beginning, and the Sun is the end.

The opposite is true for Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang.

If Taiyin is the beginning of the evolution of all things, then Shaoyang is the process of the evolution of all things.

Lesser Yin represents the stage where the evolutionary process of all things is about to end.

Just like the Tai Chi symbol, Taiyin contains Shaoyang, and Taiyang contains Shaoyin.

You are in me and I am in you.

Only by fully comprehending the concepts of Taiyin and Taiyang, and Shaoyin and Shaoyang, can one integrate the principles of Yin and Yang, understand their transformation, and hope to break through the Great Dao of Chaos.

The sun and moon alone cannot traverse the path of chaos.

This is why Chu Tianshu said that the Sun Saint Emperor's transformation failed. In his ancient scriptures, the explanation of the Taiyin Way was not complete, and the Shaoyang Way was missing.

The absence of Shaoyang means that all things cannot evolve and will always remain in the Taiyin stage, at the beginning. How can they evolve and live out their third life?

Fortunately, the later Taiyin Emperor learned from the lessons of the Sun Emperor and did not follow in his footsteps.

Unfortunately, the Taiyin Emperor ultimately encountered a great change and never achieved the harmony of Yin and Yang, transforming into a chaotic entity.

Otherwise, the mortal world would probably have another immortal.

In a mere thousand years, even someone as brilliant as Chu Tianshu could not possibly fully comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang.

Even gaining a little insight is already a remarkable achievement.

However, Chu Tianshu also became certain that he could break through the chaos and transform into a chaotic body by comprehending the principles of Yin and Yang.

However, all of this takes time and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Chu Tianshu shook his head, putting his thoughts out of his mind.

At this point, the "deadline" he announced to the public was getting closer and closer, and continuing to comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang might very well cause him to miss out on his plans.

If the reaction is even a step too slow, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone might unleash an endless carnage.

Although Chu Tianshu wanted to go fishing, he didn't want to cause too much damage to the world.

After all, during the ten thousand years that he had ruled the world, the human race had developed rapidly, and its numbers in the human universe had also increased dramatically.

If not handled properly, it could very well lead to the annihilation of the already rising human race.

"These old turtles are really good at enduring temptation; they can remain unmoved even in this situation!"

Chu Tianshu stood up, and an extraordinary aura emanated from him, as if he had transformed into a banished immortal.

He gazed at the sky, looking at the Heavenly Heart Mark that seemed about to collapse completely at any moment.

At the same time, Chu Tianshu's face underwent a drastic change. His once abundant blood and energy instantly became extremely dry, and dense wrinkles covered his entire body. His purple hair also became dry and dull, and even his upright spine became hunched over, as if he were about to die.

This is one of the results of his research on the Yin-Yang Dao. Now, even if the Undying Emperor stood in front of him, he would only think that this was an ultimate being who was about to pass away.

Unless Chu Tianshu releases the debunking himself, it's impossible for anyone to uncover his true nature.

Soon, Chu Tianshu walked out of the secluded cultivation hall, his steps unsteady.

In an instant, countless beings saw an old man nearing the end of his life walk out of the main hall, his brows seemingly carrying an invincible aura that seemed to look down upon the ages.

"Is the Great Emperor about to pass away?"

"With his primordial spirit weakened and his vital energy depleted, I'm afraid the Great Emperor Taiyi is truly nearing his end!"

"woooooo"

Emperor Taiyi is about to pass away!

The novel *Covering the Sky* does not specify which of the two Holy Emperors lived out their lives first, but Taiyin lived out her third life while Taiyang did not. Therefore, I placed Taiyin before Taiyin. Taiyin absorbed Taiyang's experience and thus comprehended the complete Yin-Yang Dao, thus living out her third life.
