Chapter 416 Divine Flower

Fairy Caiyun was born in the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beginnings, so she naturally knew that the ruthless man had made great achievements, but they had been erased by later generations.

Therefore, she didn't see anything wrong with Qin Sheng's statement that he admired the emperor.

After all, Dongxian hadn't explicitly stated that he wanted to break away from Yaoguang and restore the Devouring Heaven Holy Land.

Respecting the sages is also a virtue. In any case, the Ruthless Emperor is already dead, and his merits and demerits will be judged by future generations.

"I was thinking that after I came out of seclusion, with my cultivation level, I should be able to help you in some ways." Fairy Caiyun shook her head with a smile.

"Now, it's your era, the era of young people."

Fairy Caiyun had a strange feeling that she had broken through her own Dao, yet had become weaker instead, as if her breakthrough had been in vain...

"What are your plans for the future?" she asked.

"I have settled all my personal matters in Ziwei. I originally planned to take Nannan and the others to travel around and explore, but since you have just come out of seclusion, then it is up to you to decide."

Qin Sheng: "Whether I want to tour the Ziwei River and Mountain or immediately return to Beidou, I'm fine with either."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Caiyun did not hesitate and said directly:

"Then let's go back."

If it weren't for Jiang Taixu's concern, then Fairy Caiyun would indeed have been interested in sightseeing after finally arriving at a unique ancient star with life.

Going back ten thousand years, extraterrestrial star systems and ancient life-bearing planets were all legends; it would be a lie to say I wasn't curious.

But at this moment, her beloved is far away on the other side of the starry sky, undergoing a crucial transformation, and Fairy Caiyun is eager to return home.

"can."

Fairy Qinghong is still in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Saint Realm, so she obviously can't return with Qin Sheng and the others, but that's not a big deal.

"The Jiang family's star gate can't be opened now, how can we return?" Fairy Caiyun asked nervously.

If she had succeeded in the most difficult path of severing the Dao, but then could only gaze at the God-King across the starry sea because there was no way back, that would truly be a cruel twist of fate.

"Senior Laozi was prepared long ago; he also left a star path here at the Eight Views Palace," Qin Sheng said with a smile.

After saying that, he used his great magical power to lift the Eight Views Palace off the ground. Five-colored light flashed, and a small five-colored altar came into everyone's view.

It was only about ten feet in circumference, and could not compare to the five-colored altar on the summit of Mount Tai when the Nine Dragons Pulled the Coffin to Earth.

At this moment, as the altar was revealed to the world, it turned from dim to bright, as if it had been activated. As the five-colored light flowed, it formed a Bagua gate.

"This five-colored altar is a bit small." Fairy Caiyun noticed this while she was excited.

"Because it doesn't directly teleport us to Beidou, but rather to another destination."

Purple mist descended from the Eight Views Palace, and the Eight Trigrams Gate attracted the palace, threatening to engulf it. Qin Sheng led the group inside.

Purple energy surged, and the Eight Views Palace vanished into the void, ascending into the boundless darkness.

Just a short while later, the Eight Views Palace fell out of nothingness. The surroundings were still dark, but stars could be faintly seen twinkling.

Below, there is a large, boundless purple star.

"It's Ziwei Star. We've arrived in the outer realms," said Fairy Caiyun.

"Is this what the ancient planet of life looked like?"

Yi Qingwu gazed at Ziwei, seeing for the first time what her "mother" who gave birth to her looked like, and felt a shock and emotion in her heart.

The Eight Views Palace is in a very special state at this time. It is flying around the ancient Ziwei star, like a small purple moon.

Its goal is a celestial palace floating in the outer space of the Purple Star.

"This is also something left behind by my predecessor Lao Tzu." Qin Sheng was very calm; he had expected all of this.

The two sides are getting closer and closer, and the Eight Views Palace is moving at the same speed, looking like it is about to collide with the Heavenly Palace.

"ah!"

The little girl covered her eyes in fear, but left a small slit open.

There was no destruction of the palace or loss of life; the Eight Views Palace and one of the palaces in the Heavenly Palace collided and fit together perfectly.

The gates of the two palaces open, allowing entry into the Heavenly Palace. The Eight Views Palace is specifically for sending people up here.

"It feels like a spaceship docking with a space station..." Qin Sheng's eyes were strange.

"What is a spaceship?" the little girl asked.

“Something from my hometown…is a ship that travels through space. I’ll let my daughter ride on it sometime.”

"it is good!"

The little guy is already looking forward to seeing himself rowing a boat in space.

Little girl, astronaut version.

"Let's go, the real Starry Sky Gate should be here." Qin Sheng took the lead and entered the Heavenly Palace.

For cultivators, the oxygen, weightlessness, cold, and darkness they face after arriving in the universe are not problems.

This Heavenly Palace, which connects to the Eight Views Palace, is ancient and natural, with a sense of vastness. The good news is that it is very safe, and we did not encounter any traps or monsters.

After leaving the first palace, a long ancient scroll appeared before Qin Sheng and his companions, bearing the imprint of divine will.

An old man riding an ox came from afar and slowly approached an ancient city, where a middle-aged man respectfully greeted him.

Auspicious purple clouds stretched 30,000 miles eastward, covering the sky and the land. An old man riding an ox left behind a scripture, which he gave to a middle-aged man. Then he entered the ancient city and headed west.

The picture on the ancient scroll continued. The old man walked westward through the city. When the west gate opened, what lay outside was not mountains and rivers, but an endless starry sky.

The old man riding the ox calmly departed, stepping into the starry sky and disappearing completely.

"The city gate leads directly to the starry sky? That's an unusual ancient road through the stars!" Fairy Caiyun exclaimed in surprise.

Furthermore, the difficulty of building such a starry city is far greater than that of constructing a normal five-colored altar.

"In my hometown, the elders say that when Lao Tzu went west out of Hangu Pass, a man named Yin Xi guarded the place."

"Looking back now, both Hangu Pass and Yin Xi were extraordinary people and things."

Even though Qin Sheng already knew this, he still felt as if he were glimpsing a myth.

Putting aside those imperial corpses, Earth is truly extraordinary. Thousands of years ago, when the Azure Emperor's Great Dao was at its peak and the cultivation paths of various ancient stars were severed, many peerless powerhouses had already emerged in this small, broken planet.

The Star Gate is actually only one of the functions of Hangu Pass; it contains a more magical and astonishing power that is hard for people to imagine.

Even the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains of the ancient Heavenly Court designated that place as the final destination; there are too many methods left behind by enlightened beings on Earth.

"Your hometown is truly remarkable," Fairy Caiyun remarked.

This is nothing.

It can only be said that the horrors of Earth are far greater than Fairy Caiyun imagined.

In the original storyline, during the chaotic ancient times, a baby appeared there, and now Master Ip has appeared. There really is something special about this place called Earth.

No wonder that a Celestial Emperor would later reenact everything that happened on Earth.

"In fact, the cultivators in my hometown have been in hiding for many years, and many things are just myths and legends, which are difficult to verify." Qin Sheng shook his head.

“To mortals, aren’t cultivators who can fly through the sky and control water and fire just like immortals and gods?” Yi Qingwu said.

"Mortals cannot understand us, just as we cannot understand the Emperor."

“Little girl remembers now, that thing called a cell phone is something from your hometown, big brother!” the little girl said.

"Hand chicken? What kind of chicken is that?" Yi Qingwu was a little confused.

"Cellphones are so interesting!" the little girl said, tugging at Qin Sheng's sleeve.

"Big brother, give me your phone."

Qin Sheng did as instructed, and at the same time, his fingertips crackled with electricity, fully charging them.

The little girl skillfully unlocked the phone, then opened the camera and took a picture of them.

Yi Qingwu took one look and roughly understood, "So it's something like a memory jade, which can be used without magic power, which is quite convenient."

"That's not all." The little girl was very excited. Qin Sheng and Ye Fan had both told her about the completely different landscapes on Earth.

"When you go back to your hometown, big brothers, you must take Nannan with you!"

"The Five-Colored Altar!" Jin Shanshan exclaimed.

At the end of the ancient map stands a grand hall, where an even more magnificent five-colored altar rises, its scale enough to span the boundless starry sky.

"The divine energy contained within the five-colored crystals has indeed been exhausted." Qin Sheng looked at Fairy Caiyun.

She smiled slightly, "Fortunately, we brought this crystal from the Jiang family."

"Can we go back now?" Little Nannan blinked her big eyes.

“Yes.” Fairy Caiyun’s eyes shone.

Qin Sheng looked at Yi Qingwu, who had been by his side for quite some time.

"You should stay in Ziwei. The sky here is vast enough for you to roam freely."

Yi Qingwu remained silent for a few breaths, then asked softly:

"So, I'm free?"

"Temporarily free."

Once a slave, always a slave.

“Ziwei is more suitable for you now. You can accumulate invincible power here and forge your own path. I am waiting for the day when you become the leader of Guanghan Palace.”

On this ancient star, the only ones whose talents can rival or surpass Yi Qingwu are the Ziwei F4.

But now, some of the F4 members are dead or have fled, and she has gained many opportunities during her time with Qin Sheng, making her even stronger.

There is indeed a possibility that Ziwei will become the sole ruler in the future. This is also why Qin Sheng didn't take her away; the soil of Ziwei can produce even more magnificent flowers of the Guanghan Palace.

In any case, among the ancient stars of the Big Dipper, there are even more people willing to serve Qin Sheng faithfully.

"Little Nannan will miss her sister." Little Nannan hugged Yi Qingwu and said:

"But this is my sister's home, and she has a family. She has to stay here. Sister, I will miss you!"

"I'll miss Nannan too," Yi Qingwu said gently, crouching down and stroking the little one's cheek.
"I will definitely go and see Nannan in the future."

"Little girl, wait for your big sister!"

After saying goodbye, Fairy Caiyun took out a large number of five-colored crystals and placed them on the altar.

The next second, the altar trembled, radiating light, with runes densely packed and constantly flowing, and an even larger Bagua gate appeared.

An ancient, majestic, and terrifying aura emanated from the door, as if it connected to the realm of the gods.

Qin Sheng glanced at Yi Qingwu one last time and said, "I hope to see you on the path to becoming an emperor."

Although I'm just here to join in the fun, participation is what matters.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Sheng and the others stepped into the domain gate. Before disappearing, Xiao Nannan waved vigorously, bidding farewell to her first wild slave on Ziwei Ancient Star.

A moment later, the five-colored altar dimmed, and the dimensional gate vanished without a trace.

Yi Qingwu gazed silently into the void, then turned back to the Eight Views Palace, allowing it to descend back into the Taiqing Sacred Realm.

"I will go to the ancient star that has been visited by many great emperors."

After exiting Xuandu Cave, the dazzling sunlight shone down, and Yi Qingwu slightly raised her head.

It felt a little strange at first that no one was giving me orders.

……

Life is a fleeting moment of light, while darkness is the eternal theme of the universe.

Tu Shan Dou Dou was both curious and afraid of the starry sky, and huddled in Nan Nan's arms, her little eyes darting around.

The dappled light flashed by, and everything was quickly left behind, as if time itself had transcended.

“It feels different from when we arrived,” said Fairy Caiyun.

Finally, a vast ancient star appeared before them, and Qin Sheng and Fairy Caiyun were very familiar with the aura it emitted.

It is Beidou!

There is not just one ancient star here in Beidou; there are other celestial bodies surrounding it, existing eternally. The group is rapidly approaching.

boom!
They did not land on the land of Beidou, but appeared in a space ruin.

"The five-colored altar of Ziwei was not left on the land of Luzhou by our predecessor Laozi, but placed in the heavens. It seems that the same is true here in Beidou."

Qin Sheng looked around, and there was nothing unexpected.

"Now that we're here, the remaining distance is no longer insurmountable." Fairy Caiyun smiled, in a good mood.

The distance between the sky and the earth in the Big Dipper is extremely far, but Qin Sheng and his companions have considerable cultivation and extraordinary skills, so this is not a problem.

"Where is this place?" Silver Flash asked, puzzled.

"It gives me a very scary feeling."

"This is the battlefield of celestial saints," Qin Sheng explained the origin of the place.

If a sage were to unleash his full power in a great battle, his might would be devastating. Although it would be impossible for him to actually sink the Big Dipper, he would still destroy countless mountains and rivers and cause the extinction of all living beings.

Therefore, in ancient times, during those eras when many sages emerged, if there were battles between sages, they would generally resolve them outside the realm to minimize the damage to the land of the Big Dipper.

As holy wars accumulated, a vast and devastated extraterrestrial battlefield took shape.

"Landing in the outer battlefield is a good thing, I remember there are treasures here..." Qin Sheng thought to himself, then said:
"Since we've come all this way, let's look around and see if we can find any relics left by sages."

Fairy Caiyun and the others had no objections.

The outer battlefield is desolate and ancient, containing many things, including mountain ranges stretching across the starry sky and towering iron mountains thousands of meters high, with traces of fracture visible at their edges.

These things form the "foundation" of the battlefield.

"These are all fragments of sacred weapons. It's a pity that the divine essence within them has been completely lost," Fairy Caiyun sighed.

"More than one of the holy weapons was shattered; the ancient holy war was truly fierce."

"Such a big thing, only a super giant can use it, right?" Looking at those mountains and iron mountains, the little girl was a bit confused.

A single fragment of a weapon can be thousands of meters high, and she stands beside it like a tiny ant.

"A sage's palm is only three inches wide, yet it can hold mountains and rivers for thousands of miles," Qin Sheng explained.

When a sage refines weapons, he naturally prioritizes using legendary materials passed down through generations. A similar amount of these materials is sufficient to forge an immortal artifact.

However, most sages do not have that opportunity; if the quality is not satisfactory, they can only make up for it through quantity.

Capture mountains and seas, extract the essence of heaven and earth, condense each mountain range and ocean into the palm of your hand, and then refine them into your own weapon.

After that, if one so desires, the true form of the sacred weapon can be released, covering a distance of tens of thousands of miles or even greater.

The realm of a sage is truly beyond human comprehension; it is another dimension altogether.

As Qin Sheng and his companions walked through the outer battlefield, they saw all sorts of broken weapons. However, without exception, all of them had lost their essence and were completely unusable.

In addition, there are palaces, skeletons, and the bloodstains of saints, all of which have returned to the mortal world.

After a careful search, Qin Sheng found a rotten wooden box that had the effect of blocking divine sense, making it impossible to sense the situation inside through the box.

"This should be it..." Qin Sheng thought to himself.

He opened the rotten wooden box, and a piece of divine energy the size of a human head flew out from it, never to sink.

“There’s something in the divine source,” Jin Shanshan said.

A flower bud, about to bloom, was sealed within the divine source, eternally maintaining its most perfect state.

"So beautiful!" the little girl exclaimed.

The flower buds are perfect, shimmering with a variety of brilliant colors such as red, orange, and yellow, making them irresistible.

Especially when gazing at it, one feels an urge to merge one's consciousness with it and remain forever with the flower bud.

"Terrifying, it can even seduce me." Silver Flash's expression was solemn. It had the highest cultivation level and knew best how terrifying this flower was.

"This is a demon flower!"

"Wrong." Qin Sheng looked at the unopened flower buds and felt the attraction as well.

Of the group, only the little girl seemed oblivious, simply admiring the flowers.

"This is the Divine Flower."

"The Divine Flower?" Fairy Caiyun was greatly surprised.

There are three extraordinary flowers in the world of Shrouding the Heavens: the Dao Harmony Flower, the Divine Flower, and the Demon God Flower.

The Demon God Flower can lay the most perfect foundation for demon children, while the Dao Integration Flower is the most heaven-defying, allowing people to "unite with the Dao" and directly become emperors.

Despite the hardships Master Ye endured throughout his life, if he hadn't diligently cultivated, he would have had to return to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to inherit the Dao-Merging Flower that the Ruthless One had prepared for him, thus securing his place as a Great Emperor.

The Divine Flower cannot be ingested or used as medicine; its only function is to bloom.

When the Divine Flower blooms, it reveals endless profound mysteries of the Great Dao, which also benefit the Great Emperor.

It can be said that this is a treasure of an emperor.

"I never imagined that such a thing actually existed in the world." Fairy Caiyun was shocked.

"The blooming of the Divine Flower is a beautiful sight that only ancient emperors could appreciate. Anyone below the level of an emperor who tries to see it will have their primordial spirit vanish."

This ascension is not becoming an immortal, but rather dying through the transformation of the Dao.

The Divine Flower is so special that only emperors can admire it.

Legend has it that it fell from the celestial realm and will never truly die. Every time it blooms and withers, it transforms into a seed that soars into the sky and appears in another world to grow anew.

That's right, it's another legendary item from the celestial realm.

The immortal realm keeps throwing things into the mortal realm; it's utterly immoral!

Qin Sheng closed the rotten wooden box, and the bewitching attraction disappeared.

"When I become emperor in the future, I will definitely appreciate the most beautiful scenery in the world."

The power of the Divine Flower in full bloom is something Qin Sheng cannot resist now, because it is not an illusion, but a technique to transform your primordial spirit into the Dao.

Even if Qin Sheng's consciousness can remain clear in other worlds, if his primordial spirit is gone in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, then he can only choose to believe in the wisdom of "Qin Sheng".

And this kind of death will be laughed at by Qin Sheng and his ilk for the rest of their lives.

In the original timeline, Ye Fan obtained this flower and kept it sealed away until he became emperor. Then, he used heaven-defying methods to water it, causing it to bloom and inviting everyone in the Heavenly Court to witness this wondrous sight.

Therefore, it makes no difference whether the Divine Flower is in Qin Sheng's hands or in Master Ye's possession.

We can watch them together later.

Dongxian and Shengti are truly good brothers!
"Your luck is too great." Fairy Caiyun's eyes were complicated.

"You've obtained even such an imperial treasure..."

Why does it feel like the throne has been officially designated?
"It was Nannan who brought me good luck," Qin Shengshun coaxed the child, making her beam with joy.

Then he lowered his eyes and looked down at the ancient star.

"Beidou, I'm back."
