Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

This woman is too perfect.

Her stunning beauty seemed to have been sculpted by the very hand of God.

Not far away, two figures shrouded in chaos stood with their backs to Wushi, emanating powerful auras, their Daoist voices resounding, and their profound energy constantly rising.

Xu Jingxian opened her eyes from her seclusion and looked at Wushi standing at the door. Her beautiful face was calm as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Shi said, "I'm bored, so I'd like to challenge you to a duel."

Then, he looked at Xu Changqing and the Empress's discussion, watching them continuously form various rune mysteries, and also watching the Empress occasionally unravel Xu Changqing's rune mysteries.

He ignored Xu Jingxian for the time being, and walked straight over to Xu Changqing and the Empress, watching quietly as the terrifying Daoist mysteries continued to clash.

He felt he had gained a lot after just watching for a short while.

"Buzz!"

Two runes appeared between Xu Changqing and the Empress, transforming into two divine lights, one black and one white, which shot towards Wushi.

Then, circling around him, Wu Shi frowned, one hand resting on his chin, intently studying the two runes.

For him, cultivation was far more important than Xu Jingxian, so he chose to ignore Xu Jingxian and discuss the Dao with the two fourth-generation emperors.

He also knew that as long as he could decipher the two runes, he would be able to discuss the Dao with the two emperors.

Just like last time when we were by the Enlightenment Tree, looking at the marks left by the two emperors, echoing each other across time and space, this time we are face to face.

Xu Jingxian watched quietly as Wushi began to decipher the mysteries of the two runes, without saying much.

Wu Shi's talent is actually quite extraordinary. Although he can't compare to them now, he will be the one who improves the fastest later on.

Xu Changqing still remembers that after Wushi entered the Immortal Realm, he was attacked by many strange Quasi-Immortal Emperors because he improved too quickly, and even two strange Immortal Emperors came to hunt down the trio.

It was Wushi who self-destructed the origin of the Great Dao, using the origin of the Great Dao of Time to send away the Empress and Ye Fan, thus covering their retreat.

Chapter 178 Solve the doubts

The desolate and forbidden land suddenly fell silent.

Wu Shi didn't know why things had developed this way. He originally wanted to spar with Xu Jingxian, but now he was attracted by the two emperors' discussion and unconsciously wanted to join in.

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

It took Wushi fifty years to decipher the mysterious runes left by the two fourth-generation Heavenly Emperors, which caused Xu Jingxian's expression to change slightly.

She remembered that it took her a full hundred years to decipher the two primordial runes left by her parents, while Wushi only took fifty years.

What's going on?

Is Wushi really that perverted?

Xu Changqing wasn't too surprised, after all, Wu Shi was part of the trio.

Moreover, he was the one who improved the fastest, able to stand against two mortal immortals by himself, which speaks volumes.

However, none of the three spoke at this moment. They simply used their Taoist magic to condense runes, allowing the other party to decipher them, and then memorized the profound mysteries that would benefit them.

Xu Changqing used the accumulation of his second life to condense a purple rune. On the purple rune, it seemed that all living beings were reincarnating, and a profound meaning of reincarnation spread.

Wu Shi's expression changed. He was very familiar with the aura of reincarnation, because he also studied reincarnation and believed in it.

"Is there reincarnation in this world?" Wushi asked softly, somewhat lost in thought.

Many people believe that there is no reincarnation in the world, but Wushi firmly believes that there is.

The white-haired man before me also believes in reincarnation, so he created a reincarnation rune to show me.

"Yes," the Empress said, her words calm yet resonating like a great bell in Wu Shi's heart.

She herself believes in reincarnation.

Xu Changqing became even more convinced because the path he was walking resembled the cycle of reincarnation, with each realm within his body developing in the direction of reincarnation and the underworld.

If he could become a Celestial King, his sixth human secret realm would be the Yin-Yang disc behind his head, which records the emotions of all living beings, and he would use those emotions to forge his sixth realm.

In the time that followed, Wushi also fully joined the discussion. Although his cultivation was not as profound as that of the two great emperors, he would ask questions whenever he had doubts.

Wu Shi did not act arrogantly or haughtily in front of the two emperors; instead, he humbly and sincerely sought their guidance.

Although he was hailed as the most powerful emperor in human history, he also had his own regrets.

Xu Jingxian also joined the discussion.

On the path to immortality, four great emperors discussed the Dao, an unprecedented scene unfolding in this lifetime.

Although every emperor is proud, it is because they have never encountered their own kind, since there can only be one emperor in each generation, so emperors never meet.

It would be different if multiple emperors existed simultaneously.

"The Undying Emperor and the Emperor Venerable are not dead?" During the discussion, Wushi would also ask some hidden questions.

Xu Changqing and the Empress nodded. Not only were the two of them alive, but the Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Venerable and the Underworld Emperor were also alive.

Wu Shi was shocked. How could there still be so many ancient figures in this world who hadn't died?

However, he never expected that the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable and the Underworld Emperor were the same person.

"In an era where immortality was impossible, one lived life after life, eventually becoming an immortal in the mortal world. To enter the immortal realm, three mortal immortals needed to join forces to open the immortal gate."

"In the wrong place and

Time, only by entering a strange world can one enter the Immortal Realm.

Xu Changqing explained the mystery to Wushi, who was also somewhat surprised as to why the Ruthless Emperor knew so much.

"Can't you rely on just one person?" Wu Shi asked.

Xu Changqing shook his head naturally and said calmly, "Of course not. One person can do it, but if you reach the Immortal King realm, you will naturally be able to tear apart the laws of the two realms and go in by yourself."

"Immortal King?" Wu Shi and Xu Jingxian were both puzzled. What kind of realm was this?

This was the first time they had heard of the realm of Immortal King; neither of them had yet achieved immortality.

"Above the True Immortal realm," the Empress said.

Over the course of two hundred thousand years, they traveled through countless worlds and found some records from the ancient immortal era, which mentioned the realm of the Immortal King.

Wushi only became emperor eight thousand years ago, so he simply didn't have that much time to search for things that were useless to him.

"The Desolate Emperor fought his way into the Immortal Realm alone, so he is at a realm above Immortal. It's not that one becomes an Immortal only after entering the Immortal Realm." Wu Shi seemed to understand something.

Although this world is in the Dharma-ending Age, a figure named Desolate Heaven Emperor has emerged.

Everyone thought that the Desolate Emperor was a powerful human being who became an immortal after entering the Immortal Realm.

But that's not the case. He estimated that he had already surpassed the cultivation level of an immortal, which is why he was able to open up the path to immortality and leave behind some techniques and warnings at one node after another on the path to immortality.

Next, Wu Shi had many questions. Although he was usually quiet, he didn't know who to ask about things he didn't understand.

Now that three great emperors have gathered together, he put aside his pride and earnestly sought their advice.

The two emperors lived for a very, very long time, more than 200,000 years, so his knowledge and understanding were not as extensive as theirs.

"How many lifetimes does it take to become an immortal?" Wushi asked again.

The Empress couldn't answer this question either, because she didn't know either.

Xu Changqing thought for a moment and said, "I guess only those who can make themselves immortal in the Dharma-ending Age can be considered immortals."

"If one cannot feel their lifespan no longer passing, then they must have become a mortal immortal."

The concept of a mortal immortal is very vague. Ye Fan lived for a million years and became a mortal immortal, while the Empress was probably already a mortal immortal after seven or eight lifetimes, but she still transformed nine times.

Wu Shi Xu Changqing Jiu didn't know, but he should have also transformed into nine incarnations.

After all, in this strange world, there must have been constant battles between two immortals of the mortal realm. So, if he were seriously injured, he could be reborn into another life.

However, Xu Changqing had no idea what Wushi had encountered in the strange world.

All he knew was that after Ye Fan became a Red Dust Immortal, Wu Shi, the Empress, Duan De, and others also became Red Dust Immortals.

Over millions of years, no one knows what method Wushi used to become a mortal immortal.

Outside the desolate ancient forbidden land, the Great Accomplished Holy Body brought in another person, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

Beginningless:

What's going on? The Chaotic Ancient Emperor is still alive?

Didn't he disappear?

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor looked at Wushi, sighed, and said, "Fellow Daoist Wushi, your achievements are truly enviable."

Wu Shi was powerful throughout his life, only losing to Xu Jingxian. However, he defeated all his other enemies with great force, suppressing an entire era single-handedly, unmatched by anyone.

"Fellow Daoist Luan Gu's Dao heart is truly admirable." Wu Shi's profound gaze...

He looked at the Chaotic Ancient Emperor with admiration on his face.

This guy is incredibly stubborn. He's terrible at the game but loves to play. The key thing is that he eventually turned everything around and became an emperor!

If he were to do it himself, he would probably have been defeated so many times that his Dao heart would have been shattered long ago.

Now that's great, the five emperors have gathered together, teaching each other the profound mysteries of cultivation and sharing their insights on cultivation.

Although these three emperors were not as powerful as Xu Changqing and the Empress, it didn't stop them from gaining nothing.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body remained silent, circling around the five Great Emperors, occasionally keeping a close eye on the primordial mysteries released by Wushi.

Good heavens, five great emperors discussing the Dao together—this unprecedented golden age was actually witnessed by a mere pseudo-emperor.

"This desolate and forbidden land will eventually become the nest of a great emperor," the Great Accomplished Holy Body sighed.

Time passed, and five hundred years later, the debate came to an end.

The five emperors jointly deduced the situation in later generations and came to an astonishing conclusion.

"In later generations, emperors coexisted, the darkest turmoil in the world came, and some people even became immortals."

"When the Heavenly Court appears, the forbidden zones are destroyed, and the entire sect ascends to immortality!"

But they had no idea what happened after that.

All they knew was that about 80,000 years later, the Heavenly Court would emerge and the forbidden zone would be destroyed.

"In my later years, I plan to enter a strange world," Wu Shi said.
