Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Search for celestial gold and various divine objects.

Time flies, and 20,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Twenty thousand years have passed, and the geniuses of various races have broken through their divine sources and discovered that the traces of the Dao from the two Heavenly Emperors have almost disappeared.

They mistakenly believed that the two exceptionally talented Heavenly Emperors had already perished.

Over the past 20,000 years, the Empress has found many divine artifacts. At the same time, she has cultivated the laws of time and seen visions of the future.

Seeing the extremely familiar face, I sighed.

"Not to become an immortal, but only to wait for your return."

Two hundred thousand years is equivalent to one cycle.

The Empress's source of all things' primordial energy was placed deep within the Bronze Immortal Palace, in an underground river in the Eastern Wilderness.

She and Xu Changqing found a chaotic miniature world, which contained an abundance of immortal gold and divine source liquid flowing down from the chaotic divine mountain.

She refined the nine kinds of immortal metals into iron chains and placed them in the desolate ancient forbidden land.

The Great Perfection Saint Body of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was about to pass away, but was saved by the Empress.

Finally, the Empress brought this chaotic little world into the Eastern Wilderness, where it was transformed into a massive ancient tomb.

In this era, some quasi-emperors also emerged, telling the world that there was a Heavenly Emperor in the Southern Ridge, whose name was unknown.

However, the title "Heavenly Emperor of the Southern Ridge" does not appear many times in historical records.

The Empress and Xu Changqing, both 110,000 years old, have completely retired from public life. Xu Changqing is temporarily staying in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, discussing Dao with the Empress.

The Empress divided the Nine Miraculous Elixir of Immortality into nine varieties, planted them in the desolate and forbidden land, and created nine divine springs.

Xu Changqing, carrying his own immortal herbs, ventured deep into the desolate forbidden land, forcefully opening the immortal path and cultivating a medicinal field of his own along it.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body could only smile bitterly; these two emperors were truly terrifyingly heaven-defying.

One tore apart an unopened path to immortality with his bare hands; the other divided the elixir of immortality into nine types.

From that day onward, the two emperors disappeared from the mortal world, and the forbidden zone returned to the Big Dipper Starfield.

Chapter 136 Getting the Empress Pregnant?

In this desolate and forbidden land, towering peaks pierce the clouds. At its very center lies a massive black abyss, emanating an extremely dense aura of time-related laws.

It isolated the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from the outside world, causing the laws of the Desolate Forbidden Land to be inconsistent with the laws of the outside world.

In the dark, desolate forbidden land, at its deepest point, a woman in white sat cross-legged on a golden futon, her body exuding a terrifying aura of time.

She looked ethereal, as if she had transcended the limitations of time.

Xu Changqing's white hair was loose over his shoulders, and his handsome face was expressionless. He sat on a purple-gold futon, his hands forming a seal, drawing out countless laws.

The nine white "Emperor" characters emitted a shimmering, ethereal light, with a flowing aura of immortality.

The Empress stroked her chin, her exquisitely beautiful eyes, like clear springs, staring at the nine white characters for "Emperor" without uttering a word.

A hazy power of time occasionally appeared in his hands as he attempted to dissolve the nine Emperor characters.

Then she condensed her own cultivation into nine black ancient characters, which collided with the white ancient characters. The resulting shockwaves caused the entire Immortal Path and the Desolate Forbidden Land to tremble.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body huddled in the corner, looking extremely pitiful. The terrifying aftershocks would likely cause serious injury or even death to anyone who touched him.

This is a contest of Daoist magic between two Heavenly Emperors of the Third Incarnation. Even with his Great Accomplished Holy Body and his hardened physique, he couldn't withstand it.

Xu Changqing's white hair swayed slightly, one hand pinching his chin, his brows furrowed, his divine sense constantly colliding with the Empress's nine ancient characters, understanding them one by one, and finally dissecting them, adding his own understanding.

"In my fourth incarnation, I plan to manifest my Dao Fruit, making her a living person, taking the form of my childhood self, walking through the mortal world, waiting for his return." The Empress discussed her fourth incarnation with Xu Changqing while exchanging Dao teachings.

Her deep eyes were fixed on Xu Changqing's face, but she still couldn't detect a single emotional fluctuation.

Xu Changqing remained calm and said indifferently, "This method is feasible, but it may cause big problems."

The Empress is obsessed with her brother; this is something countless people knew in her previous life.

She attained enlightenment through her obsession, so naturally her obsession was very strong. However, after becoming an immortal, her obsession disappeared.

"And what about you?" the Empress asked, looking at Xu Changqing who seemed completely unconcerned.

Xu Changqing frowned slightly. The fourth life was much more difficult than the third, and he estimated that he would also encounter some problems.

He studied the Nirvana of the Elixir of Immortality, collected countless arrays, and fused the Secret of Word Formation and the Origin Heaven Technique.

It can be said that he is now an unparalleled master of formations.

Head to Kunlun Mountain, set up an unparalleled array, bury yourself in the array's core, absorb the creation of the heavens, and set up one peerless creation array after another on the path to immortality.

This should allow him to live a fourth life.

When he lived his third life, he used the elixir of immortality as the key to the formation, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't use it.

The elixir could also allow him to live a fourth life, because he had never consumed a complete elixir of immortality.

Even if you've taken it before and developed resistance, the elixir is still a pill made by fusing together all the immortal medicines in the heavens.

"I plan to use the formation to live out my fourth life," Xu Changqing said calmly, his eyes shining with confidence.

Research on immortality

The secret of the medicine's rebirth is ultimately condensed into runes, which are used to absorb the great creation of heaven and earth, along with the power of immortal spirits on the path to immortality.

That's enough for him to live to the fourth time.

Actually, there is another method, which is the insight that Xu Changqing gained from walking in the world.

To comprehend the conception of new life is like the birth of offspring by some primordial beasts, where their essence and blood, along with various Dao principles, combine with certain characteristics of the biological father to give birth to a new life.

If the Empress becomes pregnant, studying the development of the child in her womb from nothing to something, and gaining some insight, one can live a fourth life.

After all, it is difficult for a strong person to conceive. Once she does conceive, the offspring must be a gift from heaven. The supreme mystery of having offspring from nothing is enough for the two of them to live a lifetime.

But this was just Xu Changqing's idea; if there really was no way to live through the next six lifetimes...

I guess we'll have to discuss this with the Empress.

This method of transformation would be incredibly groundbreaking even in the vast universe.

The Empress's delicate face showed some confusion. Following Xu Changqing's gaze, she looked at her flat stomach, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong?" The Empress's voice was very pleasant; she could be charming when she needed to be, domineering when she needed to be, and gentle when she needed to be.

She can be both salty and sweet, both cool and gentle.

"It's nothing." Xu Changqing shook his head calmly and looked away.

This method is estimated to allow for a fourth reincarnation. As long as one can keep living, it doesn't matter what method it is.

But we can talk about that later. We still have plenty of time to study the path to transformation. Perhaps we won't need that method in the future.

In the time that followed, the two devoted themselves to studying the method of transformation for the fourth incarnation.

During this time, Xu Changqing left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, intending to find the old guy, the God Emperor, since this old guy possessed the true meaning of Nirvana and had lived for who knows how many lifetimes.

Unfortunately, it couldn't be found.

They did find the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and listened to the immortal scriptures inside, which were scriptures for repairing the immortal realm.

The Desolate Emperor also left behind a vague message, the meaning of which he did not know.

But having read the original work, he knew that this was the situation of the heavens left in the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin by the Desolate Emperor.

Or perhaps they are asking for help.

After returning to the desolate forbidden land, the Empress told Xu Changqing that there was another way to transform into a fourth incarnation.

"I have two incarnations as a chaotic being. If you were to become a chaotic being in your fourth incarnation, you would be able to live through your fourth incarnation. In your fifth incarnation, you would become a mortal being, and in your sixth incarnation, you could use the formation you mentioned," the Empress said.

She had once seen a record on a path to immortality, but it was only a vague record. It said that as long as one lived, one's combat power could kill immortals and one would become immortal.

She doesn't know how many lifetimes she's lived, she'll just keep living like this.

If the fourth incarnation can be immortal, that would be best; if not, then one can live on in future incarnations.

Although the process was difficult, they had plenty of time to study, explain the risks and theories of each lifetime, and exchange ideas with each other.

Xu Changqing was also tempted; having transformed into a chaotic being, he should be even more powerful.

"Alright, let's make the fourth incarnation a chaotic form, just to be on the safe side."

It's definitely safer, after all, the Empress has transformed into a chaotic form twice, she has plenty of experience.

The Empress took out the Devouring Demon Jar and turned it into a corpse.

The body was placed in front of Xu Changqing for her to study. Finally, she went to the Bronze Immortal Palace and took out the corpse of the second incarnation.

The Empress was in charge of explaining the mysteries of the Chaos Entity, while Xu Changqing listened attentively.

As a being who has existed in two lifetimes of chaos, it is estimated that no one in the world understands her better than the Empress.

Time flies, and five thousand years have passed.

In the desolate forbidden land, two great emperors were in seclusion discussing and verifying each other's Dao, while terrifying chanting could be heard.

The outside world was filled with lamentations, because for thousands of years, it had been very difficult for anyone to cultivate to the level of a Great Sage. Even though the Dao of the two Heavenly Emperors had disappeared, there was still a terrifying suppressive force.

"Just how strong are these two Heavenly Emperors? Even though they disappeared for tens of thousands of years and their Dao traces have only just disappeared, countless physiques have appeared in the heavens, suggesting that another Great Emperor is about to be born. However, no one has been able to break through to the Great Saint level."

This plunged countless young people into despair. Without Dao traces, they could not defy the heavens, and the universe seemed to have entered the Dharma-ending Age.

A thousand years later, a terrifying fluctuation came from the universe, and countless people saw a vast expanse of golden blood energy spreading throughout the universe.

Finally, the golden blood energy gradually turned red.

All the powerful figures were shocked; this was the perfected Indestructible Golden Body!

A terrifying tribulation of lightning descended, yet the indestructible golden body achieved great power and ultimately attained enlightenment in an unconventional way.

"The indestructible golden body is that heaven-defying? Achieving enlightenment through six thousand years is an unconventional path!"

"And he achieved mastery even under the suppression of all the myriad paths of the heavens!"

Countless powerful figures exclaimed in surprise.

The immortal golden body in this life belongs to Yang An, who has held this title ever since the appearance of the two Heavenly Emperors.

"So what if I attained enlightenment through unconventional means? Everyone around me is dead." Yang An couldn't help but recall the era 120,000 years ago, the era when two Heavenly Emperors rose to power.
