The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 74 Discussion
Duan De turned around and saw a heroic and imposing young man, and his expression immediately turned to fear.

The young man's face seemed to be exactly the same as that of the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor in his prime, and his brows also carried an invincible aura that seemed to swallow the universe.

"The Taiyi Heavenly Emperor has risen from the dead!"

Duan De felt a chill run down his spine. Not long ago, this first emperor of the ancient times had clearly passed away on the path to immortality, and the Heavenly Heart Mark and the Great Dao suppressed him.

But now that it had suddenly appeared in front of him, it gave him a sense of unreal absurdity.

Moreover, it seems that the other party overheard his earlier boast about digging up Taiyi's imperial tomb.

"Damn you, Heavenly Venerable! Why am I so unlucky?"

"Not only did we encounter unprecedented suppression from the Great Dao, potentially wasting a lifetime, but we also encountered the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor who had risen from the dead."

Duan De inwardly groaned.

His path to immortality in the mortal world is quite unique, requiring him to create one reincarnation seal after another, ultimately achieving the Dao Fruit of Nine Incarnations and becoming an immortal in the mortal world.

If there is a problem in any one lifetime, the time required to become an immortal will be greatly extended.

He wasted a lifetime in the mythical era by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, and judging from this, he may very well waste another lifetime in the hands of the Supreme Heavenly Emperor today.

"Should I address you as the Underworld Emperor or the Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Venerable?"

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing as he looked at the uneasy, lewd fat man.

"what?"

"He recognized me?"

Duan De was greatly shocked, but his expression remained completely blank, showing no sign of his inner turmoil.

"The Underworld Emperor, the Underworld Venerable, and the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable? Aren't these three people?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Duan De couldn't help but slap himself.

Everyone knows that the title of the Underworld Emperor and the Underworld Venerable is the title of the Heavenly Venerable who attained enlightenment again after communicating with spirits through his corpse. Isn't my statement just like trying to hide something obvious?

"Fellow Daoist is joking. With the three Reincarnation Seals within your body, throughout the ages, apart from the legendary Tribulation Transcending Celestial Venerable, who else has this ability?"

Chu Tianshu's eyes flashed with golden light, as if he had seen through the lewd fat man in front of him.

Within his body were three Reincarnation Seals, and they were extraordinary, likely at the level of the Ultimate Dao Fruit.

What surprised Chu Tianshu even more was that within Duan De's body, a terrifying killing array seemed to be engraved in his flesh and blood, and even he could feel waves of palpitations.

"The Heavenly Emperor has excellent eyesight!"

Duan De gave a bitter smile; at this moment, he understood the whole story.

This revered Taiyi Emperor did not pass away on the path to immortality; instead, he defied the heavens and lived a second life, achieving even greater success in his cultivation.

This scene reminded him of an old friend, who was equally gifted and invincible.

Unfortunately, when he awoke again, his old friend, along with the mythical era, had been buried in the long river of time, leaving only endless regrets to be sung by later generations.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't we have a discussion about the Dao?"

Chu Tianshu was also quite curious about Duan De's nine lifetimes of immortality in the mortal world.

Why is it that when others bury themselves in their old age, but their bodies regain spiritual connection, the newly born spirit does not recognize their past life and only sees itself as a completely new being?

Moreover, whether it was Laozi, who possessed a physical body and was spiritually connected to the Daode Tianzun, or Shakyamuni, who was an incarnation of Amitabha Buddha, or the two emperors Yan and Huang, who appeared in the void of the universe, none of them acknowledged their past lives.

However, Duan De himself was an exception, as he was able to retain his complete memories of his previous life every time he awoke.

Moreover, from the perspective of later generations, whether it was the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation Crossing, the Underworld Emperor, or Duan De, they were all the same person from beginning to end.

"I am deeply honored by the invitation from the Heavenly Emperor!" Duan De's expression turned solemn, no longer displaying his previous lewd demeanor, and an aura of invincible Heavenly Venerable arose spontaneously.

Clearly, as an ancient being who has attained enlightenment multiple times, he is far more than that.

Everything before was just a disguise.

Chu Tianshu flicked his finger, and in an instant, a magnificent imperial power was displayed, sealing off the surrounding space.

Soon, Duan De spoke first, and a mysterious Daoist aura flowed from his body as he explained his "Transcending Tribulation Heavenly Technique".

Chu Tianshu dared not be negligent and listened carefully. This Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable was no ordinary extreme figure.

In the distant mythical era, it was said that the secret methods of human body cultivation were not yet fully perfected, and people were practicing haphazardly.

However, this Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable was the first to organize the cultivation path of the human body's secret realm.

Sea of ​​Wheels, Palace of the Dao, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, Sendai!
He climbed step by step, and finally made the ultimate leap, becoming the first Celestial Venerable to attain enlightenment in the mythological era.

When it comes to understanding the mysteries of the human body, perhaps only a handful of people throughout history can rival him.

What's more, this Celestial Venerable who transcended tribulation actually returned after his death, proving the Dao with his corpse, bringing an unprecedented sense of shock to the world.

If it weren't for his widespread propagation of the way of communicating with spirits through corpses during the mythological era, which triggered a continuous calamity of corpses in the human world, his prestige in the hearts of the people would probably be far greater than that of the Emperor.

Unfortunately, it seems that only he has successfully walked this path. If others were to follow suit, they might encounter some unknown and terrifying events.

For example, if a spiritual connection fails, the person becomes delirious and transforms into a monster that only knows how to kill.

At that time, those who verified Duan De's path to immortality in the mortal world during the mythological era were mostly ancient supreme beings who conducted large-scale experiments on Duan De's method of achieving immortality.

However, most of them went wrong and turned into a scourge of corpses that slaughtered the heavens and the earth.

How terrifying is the corpse calamity transformed from a supreme being? It is impossible for anyone other than a supreme being to contend with it. Even beings who have attained enlightenment through alternative paths can only protect themselves.

Such a calamity, in the mythical era, spread throughout the heavens and earth, slaughtering countless living beings.

It lasted for several generations of Heavenly Venerables before finally ending in the hands of Lingbao Heavenly Venerable.

Since then, all the Supreme Beings have considered it a dead end, and no one has dared to try it again.

This is why Duan De, as the first Celestial Venerable to attain enlightenment in the mythological era, explored a path to enlightenment for the world, yet did not receive much respect from the people.

However, for Chu Tianshu, the past events of the mythological era were irrelevant to him, but the decree of the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable caught his eye.

Although Chu Tianshu knew that he couldn't follow the path of communicating with spirits through corpses, it didn't mean that this path was without merit.

At least at this point, Chu Tianshu had deduced the prototype of a method of reversing life based on Duan De's Nine Reincarnations Method.

Chu Tianshu called it the method of Yin Yin generating Yang, which originated from Duan De's inspiration of communicating with spirits through corpses.

By utilizing the extremely dense Yin energy of a dying person, Yin gives rise to Yang energy, giving birth to a trace of extremely Yang energy.

Thus, they defy fate, are reborn from the dead, and live another life.

However, although Chu Tianshu had deduced the outline of this method, it was too dangerous; it was a method that required putting oneself in a life-or-death situation to survive.

One wrong step and it's certain death. Even Chu Tianshu himself wasn't confident he could complete the Yin-Yang transformation.

But in any case, this is a supreme method that can reverse one's fate and allow one to live a second life.

Soon, as Duan De stopped moving, the mysterious Daoist sound also disappeared with the wind.

"Fellow Daoist, you have greatly benefited me!"
