The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 68 The Secret Realm of the Azure Emperor's Heart Dao Palace
In a valley, peach trees grow in abundance, and a clear green pool sits in the center, with a few thatched huts nearby, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

Zhong Xu stood on the shore, gazing intently at the deep, emerald-green pool. A pale golden light shimmered in his eyes, reflecting the scene at the bottom of the pool.

Yan Ruyu stood beside him, her features delicate, her curves alluring, exuding an air of purity and detachment from worldly concerns.

"Is the heart of the Azure Emperor sealed here?"

After a long pause, Zhong Xu spoke.

Yan Ruyu nodded, her hand seals changed, and a beam of divine light disappeared into the deep pool.

Wow

The water surged and the waves crashed in the deep green pool. A crystal coffin, dragged by nine golden carp several meters long, floated to the surface.

The crystal coffin was two meters long and one meter wide, crystal clear, and inside it was a heart the size of a fist.

The heart was bright red, surrounded by crimson clouds, dazzling and eye-catching, as if it were cast from the essence of red jade, and filled with unimaginable vitality.

Just by looking at it, Zhong Xu felt as if he were in a vast ocean of creation and vitality.

The heart of the Azure Emperor!
This is the heart of a Heavenly Emperor, or rather, the heart of a Heavenly Emperor transformed from an immortal elixir, containing an immense amount of life-giving potential.

If the Azure Emperor hadn't already dispelled the imperial might and killing intent contained within, simply appearing here would have turned everyone in the entire valley to ashes.

"Step back."

After a while, Zhong Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and he activated his own energy.

At this moment, within his Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Chaos Azure Lotus, took root in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, like a lotus rooted in chaos, constantly scattering specks of chaotic divine light.

The Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Wheel of Life form a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, slowly rotating around the Chaotic Green Lotus, carrying the meaning of natural harmony.

The compassionate and serene golden Buddha and the eerie and powerful dark demonic figure are located at opposite ends of the yin and yang spectrum, both opposing each other and yet connected in some mysterious way, as if they were two sides of the same coin.

Above the entire Bitter Sea, in the vast celestial realm layer upon layer, a weathered and noble emperor's figure stands above all, holding an ancient and mysterious small bell, transcending time, being both the beginning of the past and the end of the future, forming a special resonance with the Chaos Green Lotus, like one of the Great Daos.

With the acquisition of the Chaos Green Lotus, Zhong Xu's Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm became more perfect and stable than ever before, like a complete world.

Seeing Yan Ruyu step back, the Chaos Green Lotus in Zhong Xulun Sea Secret Realm swayed its branches and leaves slightly, and a special aura rose from his body, resonating with the Azure Emperor's heart in the crystal coffin.

The seal on the crystal coffin shattered, and crimson light shone around the Azure Emperor's heart, soaring into the sky and changing the color of the entire world.

At this moment, even the great sun high in the sky seemed to dim, unable to compete with the light emanating from the Azure Emperor's heart.

Swoosh

The next moment, the Azure Emperor's heart transformed into a divine light, pulsating around Zhong Xu for a moment before settling on his outstretched palm and falling silent.

Seeing this, Yan Ruyu sighed inwardly and completely gave up her last thought.

Looking at the Azure Emperor's Heart in his hand, Zhong Xu pondered for a moment before placing it directly in front of his chest.

Buzz

Boundless light burst forth, and the Azure Emperor's heart transformed into a divine ray of light, directly merging into Zhong Xu's body and uniting with his original heart.

The chaotic blue lotus within the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm shimmered with light, causing him to feel no repulsion towards the heart, but rather an extraordinary harmony.

Dong dong dong

As the Azure Emperor's heart merged with his own, a series of earth-shaking heartbeats resounded, and Zhong Xu felt as if the blood in his entire body was beginning to boil.

boom

The next moment, a drop of blood brimming with boundless vitality flowed from the Azure Emperor's heart, instantly transforming into boundless, powerful life force that flowed directly into Zhong Xu's entire body.

In an instant, his body radiated a dazzling light that illuminated the heavens and the earth. His flesh, bones, internal organs, and meridians underwent an unprecedented and tremendous transformation.

'This is.'

Sensing the changes within himself, Zhong Xu recalled the scriptures of the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," and with a sudden burst of inspiration, he began to practice this unparalleled divine skill that encompassed the principles of Buddhism and Taoism and exhausted all the wonders of change in the world.

boom

In an instant, his body began to automatically adjust and adapt according to the principles and laws contained in the drop of blood flowing from the Azure Emperor's heart, gradually aligning himself with the Azure Emperor's power.

At the same time, the Chaotic Green Lotus in Zhong Xu's Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm also sprinkled specks of chaotic divine light, flowing through his entire body, seemingly helping him complete this adjustment and transformation.

Gradually, Zhong Xu's aura began to change. The original Taoist Yin-Yang rhythm disappeared, replaced by a sense of lightness and naturalness, and also contained a vast and boundless vitality of creation.

"how is this possible?"

Seeing this scene, Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes showed a hint of confusion, as if she were in a hallucination.

Although this emperor also contained the aura of his ancestor, the Azure Emperor, it was obvious that he was a human.

But now, this Empress exudes the aura of the Azure Emperor's lineage from the inside out, even more pure than she, a descendant of the Azure Emperor.

At this moment, if anyone else saw Her Majesty, they would definitely mistake her for a descendant of the Azure Emperor, just like her, or even a descendant with a purer bloodline than her. Can race be changed?
how did you do that?
Yan Ruyu felt that everything she had experienced in the past had been overturned.

On the other side, as his own power adjusted to be completely in sync with the Azure Emperor's heart, the heartbeat sounded again, and a drop of bright red blood appeared again from the Azure Emperor's heart, transforming into boundless vitality that flowed throughout Zhong Xu's body.

'As expected of the Azure Emperor's heart; even a single drop of its blood nearly burst me.'

With this thought in mind, Zhong Xu instinctively activated the Wheel Sea Chapter of the Daoist Scripture, using this boundless vitality as its source to continue completing his own Nine Transformations to the Other Shore.

As the light swirled, Zhong Xu's body suddenly withered and lost its luster, becoming like a dead tree, as if all life had vanished.

If you were to look inside his body at this moment, you would find that his internal organs have also stopped functioning, making him appear lifeless.

Even the bones were a dull gray, no longer pure white, as if they were about to decay and could not last long.

At this moment, it was as if Zhong Xu had lived through a lifetime in an instant, all life force extinguished, dust returned to dust, and ashes returned to ashes, ready to begin a new cycle.

This is the transformation of the other shore realm.

To complete this level of cultivation, a cultivator's physical body will completely wither and decay, and then undergo a rebirth and transformation like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, involving blood transfusion and bone regeneration.

After repeating this process nine times, the cultivator has completed the Nine Transformations of the Other Shore, and the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm is completely perfected.

boom

Just as Zhong Xu's body was about to perish, the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram circulated, Yin turned to Yang, and death gave way to life, like a cycle. Suddenly, his body erupted with a vast energy.

At the same time, the boundless vitality transformed from the Azure Emperor's blood also flowed through his body, becoming the resources for his transformation.

In an instant, Zhong Xu's flesh and blood regained their fullness, his body shimmering with a radiant light, and his life force was even stronger than before.

Even after reaching this stage, the immense vitality transformed from the Azure Emperor's blood was still largely undiminished and flowed within Zhong Xu's body.

'Truly worthy of the Emperor's blood.'

With this thought in mind, Zhong Xu calmly and slowly circulated the Wheel Sea Chapter of the Daoist Scripture, continuing to complete the transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Other Shore.

Having always had many fortuitous opportunities, possessing multiple unparalleled inheritances, and being guided by the Great Emperor-level being, the Martian Sacred Body, Zhong Xu's realm was higher than his actual cultivation level.

Especially after briefly experiencing the power of the Martian Holy Body through the fundamental Dharma body of Buddhism, Vairocana Buddha, Zhong Xu's understanding of the Heaven-Covering Technique and his comprehension of the cultivation method he practiced far surpassed his actual cultivation level.

Now, he has no shortage of cultivation level and understanding of techniques; what he lacks is simply the resources needed for cultivation, which is why he wants to control the demon race.

Although the demon race has declined, the resources it possesses are, for the time being, sufficient for a cultivator who is only at the Other Shore Realm.

With sufficient resources, Zhong Xu's cultivation improvement will not encounter major bottlenecks.

Of course, the demon race will not suffer losses either. When he grows up in the future, the demon race will also benefit. This can be considered a win-win situation.

Now, the boundless vitality contained in the blood flowing from the Azure Emperor's heart is the purest energy in the world, and it is also the best resource for Zhong Xu to complete his physical transformation and improve his cultivation. It can even be said that there is no other.

After all, what cultivation resource in this world can compare to the blood of an emperor, especially the blood of an emperor who is an immortal divine medicine in human form!
With the most perfect foundation-building scripture in the universe, the "Taoist Scripture: Wheel Sea Scroll," the energy transformed from the blood of the Heavenly Emperor's heart, an immortal elixir, and a realm of enlightenment far exceeding his own cultivation level, Zhong Xu will undergo the most perfect Nine Transformations of the Other Shore cultivation and metamorphosis for himself.

Decay, desolation, rebirth, flourishing, decay again.
The Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram within Zhong Xu's body circulates, with the opposing forces of life and death, seemingly undergoing an endless cycle of life and death.

Time and again he fell into desolation, only to be reborn time and time again, like gold being forged in a raging fire. The extreme death gave birth to the extreme vitality, making Zhong Xu's energy become more and more vast each time.

As his body underwent repeated transformations, Zhong Xu's power became increasingly compatible with the Azure Emperor's heart, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts operated more and more harmoniously.

However, no matter how his own energy changed, under Zhong Xu's profound control, he mastered it perfectly, and his foundation was not weak at all, but extremely stable.

After an unknown amount of time, a sense of fulfillment arose, and Zhong Xu, like plants that had survived the cold winter, radiated an unprecedentedly vigorous energy.

A vast life force swept across heaven and earth, and Zhong Xu was surrounded by radiance, looking like an immortal or a Buddha. The blood in his body was like a vast ocean, making a sound like a tsunami, and the surging essence soared straight into the sky.

Yan Ruyu, standing to the side, felt as if she were standing next to a furnace, a hint of shock showing in her beautiful eyes.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a powerful cultivator from the Sea of ​​Wheels.

Such surging life essence and such vast energy completely shattered her understanding of cultivators in the Sea of ​​Wheels realm.

The moment he completed the Nine Transformations of the Other Shore, a sense of perfection arose within him. Zhong Xu's mind sank into the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, looking towards the end of the Other Shore, where he saw the majestic Dao Palace shrouded in mist, as if a vast world had been formed there.

'The Secret Realm of the Dao Palace'.

Buzz

The Daoist scriptures flowed through his mind, and the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram rotated continuously, transforming into a golden bridge to the other shore composed of countless Daoist characters. It rose from the sea of ​​suffering, extended to Zhong Xu's feet, and stretched infinitely towards the end of the other shore, directly entering that vast and hazy Daoist palace.

boom

A thunderous sound originating from the soul resounded, and Zhong Xu's heart trembled. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction as his consciousness entered a new world.

Within the outer world, a booming sound resonated within Zhong Xu's body as the five elements converged, and five divine lights, like vast, colossal dragons, soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds.
