Within them, humanoid deities were taking shape. Lü Yao knew that when he transformed into a king-level divine weapon, a true deity would be woven together, becoming an extension of his own Dao.
Li Wan stood under the hibiscus tree, watching in shock as the lightning tribulation dissipated in the distance.
If Lü Yao hadn't laid out a vast array of Heaven-Deceiving Patterns to protect Tang Valley, this ancient island would have been included in the calamity cloud and would have been mostly destroyed.
“I want to leave with him,” the golden ancient tree suddenly said, which surprised Li Wan.
"He will become an emperor." Li Wan had witnessed Lü Yao's opportunities and strength firsthand, and she really couldn't think of any other outcome besides becoming an emperor.
"If he becomes an emperor, he will be among the strongest of all emperors, comparable to the Sun Saint Emperor, no! Stronger than the Sun Saint Emperor!"
The ancient Fusang tree's voice turned serious. Even if its intelligence wasn't fully developed, it had seen far too many extraordinary beings over countless years, and it recognized that astonishing physique.
"The fact that the laurel wood appeared in his hands may not be a coincidence. Could it be that the Taiyin Emperor saw his existence millions of years ago?"
Could it be that the Sun Emperor, who could see into the future, deliberately set up a trap for Tanggu and walked up to me?
Li Wan had no idea what the divine tree was talking about and was completely confused.
"...He is transforming into a chaotic body. He is cultivating a peculiar technique, so he needs the assistance of the Taiyin Ancient Scripture and the Taiyang Ancient Scripture, and he needs the Fusang Wood and the Laurel Wood to evolve the Chaotic Pure Land."
"What! A Chaotic Body!?" Li Wan exclaimed in a low voice. This invincible physique was extremely famous in the universe. It could ignore the Dao of the current Great Emperor and directly become an Emperor in an era with Great Emperors.
"Brother Lü is actually a Chaos Body. No wonder he was able to defy the third immortal in the second immortal realm and was accompanied by an imperial weapon." Li Wan was somewhat dizzy.
Her incomplete solar body was already an extraordinary physique. Among the four great talents of Ziwei, apart from the most mysterious Yin Tiande, the other three dared not say they could surpass her.
But the Chaos Entity is an existence countless times more terrifying than the complete Sun Entity.
"So you're going to go with him? To create the Chaos Pure Land for him?" Li Wan asked.
The ancient hibiscus tree gently swayed its thousands of golden petals, and the sacred power of the sun shone ever brighter:
"The greatest upheaval of all time is about to begin. The Holy Emperor has sat in meditation countless times, plotting the secrets of heaven, seeking a way out for the future beings..."
Could this be a path to survival left behind by the combined efforts of the two ancient emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang? A fully-fledged Chaos Body truly possesses the ability to quell the chaos of darkness... but his cultivation is too slow. If there were a Chaos Pure Land, he could definitely achieve full mastery in a short time...
Li Wan asked, puzzled, "What is the Dark Turmoil?"
"That was a dark war waged by some shameless people in order to survive in this world; it was their war against all the spirits of the universe."
A voice drifted from afar. Lü Yao's clothes were already torn, revealing his blood-stained yet translucent body, which shimmered with divine light.
The chaotic energy emanating from his pores concealed him in time, and the seven-colored divine power was forming new clothes.
He walked to the hibiscus tree, glanced at the laurel seeds that hadn't moved much, and smiled gently:
"Why are you talking about the dark turmoil? Li Wan is too weak. These pressures are not for these children to bear."
He only heard the word "dark turmoil," not the words before that.
The ancient Fusang tree emitted a spiritual fluctuation: "You are undergoing a transformation into a postnatal chaotic body."
Lu Yao never thought he could fool the Fusang Divine Tree. The other party had lived for too long and was very different from ordinary immortality medicines, even from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. Perhaps only the Laurel Wood and the Chaos Green Lotus could be similar.
"Yes, but it's still incomplete."
“I was once taken by the Sun Emperor to the place where the Human Emperor attained enlightenment. There are traces of the Dao left by the Human Emperor there. You can try it; perhaps you can obtain the Taiyin Ancient Scripture.”
The Fusang Divine Tree revealed a startling secret, corroborating Lü Yao's thoughts.
The old madman must have gone into seclusion there and obtained the Taiyin Ancient Scripture.
The next day, as soon as Lü Yao awoke from his cultivation, the Fusang Divine Tree made a request: it asked Lü Yao to promise to bring back the Holy Emperor's remains, and it was willing to follow him away.
Lu Yao naturally wouldn't refuse; at worst, he could go to the desolate ancient forbidden land and step onto that five-colored altar.
The Fusang Divine Tree then said, "Your medicine pot is miraculous; it can take root in the immortal medicine and take me in."
The Valley of Tang trembled violently, and the Fusang Divine Tree, which had been rooted there for countless millennia, shot into the sky and disappeared into the stone basin in front of Lü Yao, clearly distinguishing itself from the remnants of the humanoid immortal medicine and the Seven Treasures Tree.
Meanwhile, the laurel seed remains within the crown of the hibiscus tree, resisting the sacred power of the sun.
If an ancestral vein were integrated into the stone basin, it would be more suitable for the growth of divine medicines. However, Tang Valley was born at the beginning of the universe, making it even more suitable than an ancestral vein.
But Lü Yao did not do so, and voluntarily gave up the place, which was to be the burial ground of the Holy Emperor after his return, and should not be destroyed by him.
Knowing about Lü Yao's upbringing, the Fusang Divine Tree guessed that he might be a trump card left behind by the Human Emperor and the Holy Emperor across hundreds of thousands of years, and ultimately chose to leave with them.
The gourd in Lü Yao's hand emitted a suction force, drawing the medicine basin into it.
On this ancient island, only palaces remain. Fortunately, some array patterns prevent ordinary people from entering, so there's no need to set up a separate large array like in the Sun Secret Realm.
"Let's go."
Lu Yao led Li Wan out of Tanggu and carried her across the North Sea.
But soon, he stopped.
Li Wan asked suspiciously, "Brother Lü, what's wrong?"
Lu Yao gazed at the ancient island in the distance. Although the Fusang Ancient Tree was gone, Tang Valley was the place of sunrise, and the island still had a strong surge of solar holy power.
"After this journey, Tanggu will disappear again in the North Sea. Without the guidance of the treasure map, I'm afraid no one will be able to find it again. If someone brings back the Holy Emperor's remains, how should we place them?"
Lü Yao replied.
Li Wan wanted to ask: Didn't you bring back the Emperor's remains? How did it become someone else?
I endured it.
"What should I do?"
Lu Yao recalled the thirty-six fragmented maps, and the map scroll appeared in his hand. With a gentle tremor, it shattered into eighteen pieces.
"I placed it on eighteen islands, and those who are destined to find it will naturally find it."
Eighteen and thirty-six are completely different. It shouldn't be the treasure map that Ye Fan and his group found ten years later, right?
"Let's go." With a flick of his sleeve, Lü Yao used his divine power to envelop Li Wan, transforming her into a rainbow of light that roamed the North Sea, constantly searching for a suitable island.
He then simplified the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns, buried the fragmented diagrams, and left them for the destined person to come.
Three days later, the two left, leaving only the surging North Sea with its towering black waves.
Tianyuan City is an ancient city with a long history and an extremely long existence. No one knows in which year it was built.
But even more famous than the city itself is the barren land outside it, where, according to legend, the ancient Emperor Taiyin lived and attained enlightenment, leaving behind countless tales.
Before, everyone would have taken it as a joke, but ever since that area was submerged and sealed off by the boundless Yin Holy Power, no one has doubted the legend anymore.
Lü Yao stood with Li Wan atop the clouds, gazing at the vast and boundless ocean of Taiyin Sacred Power, and sensed its magnificent divine might.
"With such powerful strength, how dare the Taiyin Sect Master lead his people to attack?" Li Wan clicked her tongue in amazement.
Unlike her affinity with the power of the sun, she felt an involuntary, faint aversion to the power of the moon.
There were many cultivators here, and two of them were standing on this cloud. They were both in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm and were wearing similar clothes, so they should be a pair of fellow disciples.
The dashing young man rolled his eyes upon hearing this: "The Taiyin Sect isn't stupid. It was the Taiyin Sect Master who came here with a legendary artifact. After he died here, the central area collapsed, spewing out Taiyin holy power and sealing this place off."
The Taiyin Sect Master was a master on the same level as the Golden Crow King, only one step away from achieving mastery, yet he perished here, losing his legendary sacred weapon and implicating hundreds of powerful figures.
The Taiyin Divine Sect has been severely damaged; no wonder they didn't seek revenge after their divine son was killed.
The other, somewhat dull-looking middle-aged man, spoke up:
"In the two days after the Taiyin Sect Leader was killed, this place was not like this. A sect leader once went up to pay his respects, but before he could get close, he inexplicably appeared in the outer area."
"Those cult leaders dared not approach this eccentric saint any further and could only keep watch from a distance. They haven't left yet, probably hoping to invite this unfamiliar saint back to their cult to protect him."
The middle-aged man reached out and pointed to several distant mountains, where several cult leaders sat with their eyes closed, meditating.
"Thank you both."
Lu Yao didn't linger. He bid farewell to the two unfamiliar cultivators and returned to Tianyuan Ancient City with Li Wan.
On the bustling street, Li Wan watched helplessly as Lü Yao bought candied hawthorns from someone, while his artifact, crafted from Chaos Immortal Essence, was already filled with food, all for that little girl.
“My little girl wanted to eat it when she was at the Eight Views Palace, but we were in a hurry to go to the Sun God Cult. Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and I’m afraid she still hasn’t been able to eat it.”
"I'm afraid that as soon as the little girl asks, your maid will immediately buy up all the good food in the city," Li Wan said helplessly.
"It's different; I need to express my opinion."
Is this a trivial matter concerning Ancestor Nan? As Ancestor Nan's top prodigy, my attitude must be impeccable.
Tianyuan Ancient City truly lives up to its reputation as a major city for cultivators in Luzhou, and is exceptionally prosperous.
Shops on both sides have upturned eaves and stand side by side, while palaces hang in the sky, with flags waving and shining with divine light.
The streets were bustling with traffic and people, and in just a short while, Lü Yao saw several cultivators riding on savage beasts and exotic creatures.
"Hmm?" Lu Yao's eyes darkened, and his gaze drifted toward an alley.
A divine sense would occasionally appear and disappear, its target being him and Li Wan.
"Go sit at that restaurant for a while, have something to eat, and wait for me to come back." After scanning the area with his divine sense, Lü Yao discovered that it was someone he knew. He quickly made a few arrangements and then followed after them.
Li Wan: "What? What are you going to do?"
She knew a lot about Lü Yao's secrets, including several immortal herbs and imperial weapons. What else could he possibly be hiding from her?
Without turning back, Lü Yao activated the Xingzi Secret Technique and disappeared into the crowd. When he reappeared, he saw a figure in a distant corner.
"Master." The figure lowered his black hood, revealing a sickly-looking face.
"Sanque, what do you want with me?" Lü Yao was not surprised that Sanque Daoist could find him.
After he set foot on Luzhou, he did not conceal his whereabouts, and many ancient sects were able to find out about him.
The Three-Missing Daoist respectfully said, "Master, recently, the Kings of the Longevity Temple and the Human King Hall will appear at the Feathered Immortal Cliff to exchange the Ancient Divine Scripture, but do not make a move yet, it is all fake."
Legend has it that the Feathered Immortal Cliff fell from the Immortal Realm and contains the wonders of ascending to immortality. It is an ancient secret place in Ziwei, where many cultivators seek immortality.
Lu Yao gave a soft hum, indicating that he understood.
The Three-Missing Daoist continued, "Six months later, the two sects will exchange fake scriptures again in Hanli Abyss, exhausting the patience of all the major forces. Then, a year later, on the highest mountain outside Tianyuan City, they will exchange the real ancient scriptures of the gods."
No wonder the Three Missing Daoist appeared in Tianyuan City; he must have used the excuse of scouting ahead to avoid arousing suspicion from the Qinggu Daoist.
“By repeatedly exhausting the patience of many cultivators, and then suddenly exchanging them, the success rate is increased.” Lu Yao praised without reservation: “You have done very well. If you obtain the complete scripture, I will bestow upon you a scripture of the same caliber as the Ancient Scripture of the Gods.”
Having been converted from his original state, the Taoist Sanque had no ulterior motives and only loyalty. Hearing this, he was extremely grateful: "Thank you, Master. Sanque will do his best."
"Go."
After Sanque left, Lü Yao went to the restaurant to find Li Wan and took her directly back to the Sun God Court.
