Honghuang Taihuang

Seven spiritual roots of heaven and earth appeared behind Taiwei, their powerful and vast creative energy constantly bursting forth, blocking the five treasure banners of heaven and earth from unleashing their immense spiritual energy.

"The Supreme Treasure of the Void: The Five Banners of Heaven and Earth."

Taiwei looked at Taizhen, who was surrounded by five precious flags, and spoke in a serious tone.

Although Taiwei knew that these five banners could not possibly be the true Taixu Supreme Treasure, the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, the power of these five banners undoubtedly surpassed that of the original Xihua Spiritual Sword and the Azure Bird Phoenix Hairpin. In other words, the quality of these five banners had touched upon some of the essence of the Taixu Supreme Treasure.

"Great Luo Dao Fruit - Mysterious Yin Shaping Life".

Surrounded by the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, the paleness on Tai Zhen's face had disappeared, and he slowly uttered the name of the Great Luo Dao Fruit he had obtained.

The essence of the Xuan Yin Shaping Life Dao Fruit is actually the Xuan Yin Dao and the Creation Dao. This is why Tai Zhen chose this Daluo Dao Fruit. The essence of this Daluo Dao Fruit is very compatible with Tai Zhen's own Yin Dao.

The ability of this Great Luo Dao Fruit is quite simple: it can shape everything in the world into the form of Tai Zhen's hope.

Tai Zhen hopes to recreate the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, the supreme treasure of the Great Void, in the Great Heaven and Earth. In that case, the Xihua Spiritual Magic Sword and the Azure Bird Phoenix Hairpin will merge into the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth.

Even so, the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, which were created in this way, could not reach the level of the Supreme Treasure of the Void. However, even so, the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth still possessed a vast power that far surpassed that of the Supreme Treasure of Creation.

The shaping of all things by the Xuan Yin Shaping Life Dao Fruit is not about shaping the primordial energy and physical form, but rather about shaping them at the level of cause and effect and information, which is closer to their essence.

For example, the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth that Tai Zhen created at this moment are almost identical to the real Five Banners of Heaven and Earth in essence, structure, and even the true meaning of the Great Dao contained within them, except that their power is not as great as the real Five Banners of Heaven and Earth. This is the wonder and terror of the Xuan Yin Shaping Life Dao Fruit.

If Taizhen wished, she could even mold herself into Taiwei or Taiyi of the primordial world, acquiring a portion of the essence and system of such top-tier beings as Taiwei and Taiyi.

This Great Luo Dao Fruit allows Tai Zhen to ascend directly to the heavens in one step, which is quite terrifying. Previously, Tai Wei saw the True Dragon Qilin in the Ximo Continent, which were all top-level divine beasts of heaven and earth reshaped by Tai Zhen with the Xuan Yin Shaping Life Dao Fruit.

"Am I now catching up with you so-called top experts?"

Words devoid of any emotion emanated from Tai Zhen's mouth. The Five Banners of Heaven and Earth drew upon the mighty power of the Five Elements Great Dao, and the five elements' origins, shimmering with azure hues, resembled five giant dragons crawling about. Their mere presence alone forced Tai Wei back three thousand feet.

Having revealed the Great Luo Dao Fruit, Tai Zhen finally unleashed his full power. Tai Yi's nine Great Luo Dao Fruits are equivalent to nine Heavenly Dao authorities in this Taihuang Great World. Whoever controls the Great Luo Dao Fruit can, to a certain extent, influence the origin of the Taihuang Great World.

In addition, the Heavenly Dao authority contained within the Profound Yin Life-Shaping Fruit caused Tai Zhen's cultivation and combat power to increase more than threefold in an instant.

At this moment, the Creation Net, which Taiwei evolved from the seven spiritual roots of heaven and earth, began to vibrate violently. Taizhen suppressed Taiwei's Creation Net with a portion of the Heavenly Dao authority he controlled.

The Starry Sky Sword in Taiwei's palm transformed into countless starlight and dissipated. Behind him, the phantoms of the seven spiritual roots of heaven and earth transformed into a vast amount of creative essence, surging into Taiwei's body. Taiwei's aura also began to rise.

The profound meanings of the Great Dao carried by the seven spiritual roots of heaven and earth mingled and merged within Taiwei's body, temporarily elevating the life force within him to its peak.

Ascend to Heaven!

A seemingly endless staircase appeared beneath Taiwei's feet. Made of white jade and adorned with purple-gold patterns, the massive and dazzling staircase resembled a dragon dividing the sky in two. At the far end of that staircase, a magnificent and incomparably grand heavenly gate appeared, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden.

Taiwei stepped down onto the white jade and purple gold steps, the clear sound of his footsteps like thunderclaps, causing Taizhen's expression to change instantly.

Taiwei stepped over each step, and with each step he crossed, his cultivation aura expanded. After crossing three steps, Taiwei's cultivation aura had reached the mid-stage of the Taiyi realm.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?!"

Tai Zhen's expression was solemn. Although she didn't know how Tai Wei had done it, it was clear that Tai Wei could not continue under the current circumstances.

The Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, carrying five rainbows of glazed light, shook the myriad phenomena of the void. Countless streams of five-colored light intertwined and shattered the white jade and purple gold steps beneath Taiwei's feet.

However, at this final moment, Taiwei leaped three levels, his body surrounded by wind and thunder, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of the Taiyi realm.

Surrounded by countless stars and celestial light, the three auspicious energies of fortune, destiny, and longevity in Taiwei's palm each evolved into a tiny star.

The apricot-yellow aura of good fortune, the sky-blue aura of destiny, and the bright red aura of longevity—the three auspicious energies that Taiwei was cultivating this time intertwined and ignored the Five Directions Banners of Heaven and Earth that were hurtling towards Taiwei. Instead, they directly engulfed Taizhen, whose expression had changed slightly.

The myriad starlight flickered and shattered, the Creation Net on Taiwei's body fell down, and the power of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth continuously strangled the Creation Net, tearing this net, which encompassed an entire continent, to shreds.

A dazzling array of five colors—blue, red, black, white, and gold—flashed across the sky. Taiwei's face paled, and the last trace of power remaining in the Creation Net on his body shattered. He transformed into a long rainbow and plummeted into the earth below, raising a cloud of dust.

The three-colored light rippled and undulated continuously. Tai Zhen's face, which was enveloped by the aura of the three treasures of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, turned deathly pale. At first, Tai Zhen did not see the true nature of these three auspicious energies, so he did not pay attention to them.

However, as soon as Tai Zhen came into contact with the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, his fortune, cultivation and essence began to decline rapidly.

The Qi of Fortune and Virtue cuts off fortune and brings disaster; the Qi of Prosperity and Life reduces cultivation; and the Qi of Longevity diminishes vitality. Although the essence of these three treasures of fortune, prosperity, and longevity is not strong, their combined effect reduced Tai Zhen's cultivation level, fortune, and essence to half of their original value in just an instant.

Calamity was rampant, and disaster was about to strike. The fluctuating energy around Tai Zhen tore through the surrounding space and time, and cracks in space and time continued to spread, appearing behind Tai Zhen.

The constant loss of vital energy within his body prevented Tai Zhen from noticing the shattered spacetime around him. With a tearing sound, these strands of spacetime power cleaved open Tai Zhen's back, revealing his throbbing internal organs.

As blood dripped down, Tai Zhen's expression grew increasingly grim. She hurriedly summoned the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth back to her side. Tai Zhen looked at the rapidly diminishing fortune and merit above her head with a grim expression. If it continued to decrease like this, she feared she would be locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation.

On the cracked and bulging earth, Taiwei, looking slightly disheveled, looked up at Taizhen. On Taiwei's body, surging merit and fortune were also constantly burning. Clearly, Taiwei's strange supernatural power did not come without a price.

However, seeing Taizhen fleeing in panic, Taiwei still showed a smile. Without relying on the Great Luo Dao Fruit, Taiwei used the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity Qi, which he had only recently cultivated, to force back Taizhen, whose cultivation level was far higher than his. This made Taiwei realize the mystery of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity Qi once again.

The Qi of Blessing and Virtue represents the merit and fortune that everyone possesses; the Qi of Destiny represents the cultivation level and rank of living beings and cultivators; and the Qi of Lifespan represents the vitality and creation within the body of living beings.

Taiwei, who controls these three spiritual forces, can reduce the merits, fortune, cultivation level, essence, and life force of enemy cultivators while consuming his own merits and fortune. Such an ability is naturally extremely terrifying. If Taiwei were willing, he could have completely wiped Taizhen out of the Taihuang Great World just now.

However, doing so would inevitably deplete most of Taiwei's merits and fortune, and Taiwei did not want to leave the Taihuang Great World in such a disgraceful manner.

After Taizhen left, Taiwei also paused his supernatural powers. Looking at how he had almost exhausted half of his merit and fortune, Taiwei frowned.

The reason for such a huge consumption is entirely because Taiwei has not yet conducted a deeper study on the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity.

Up to now, Taiwei has only managed to use the Qi of Destiny to create the Heavenly Gate Divine Power in a flash of inspiration. The rest are just some spells that are instinctively derived from the Qi of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, which consume too much energy.

Tai Zhen's merits and fortune were greatly weakened by Tai Wei, and his cultivation level could not be restored to its original state for a while. Tai Wei did not need to worry about Tai Zhen returning in the short term, so Tai Wei randomly found a desolate mountain and began to further comprehend the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity.

This encounter with Taizhen made Taiwei clear about his goal: he wanted to try to advance to the Great Luo Daojun realm using the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity in this Great World of Emperor Tai.

The appearance of this goal was somewhat inexplicable, but Taiwei felt that this Great Luo Dao Fruit, which was derived and sublimated from the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity, was very important to him.

In the desolate stone chamber, Taiwei's mind sank into his Purple Mansion, beginning to comprehend the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity. The Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, which had been traveling in the void, transformed into wisps of bright light and merged into Taiwei's primordial spirit.

Under the bright light of the three stars of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, Taiwei's primordial spirit merged into the omnipresent aura of the three treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, enveloped by the three-colored starlight. In the vast darkness, Taiwei saw the source of the three treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity rooted in the deepest part of the Great Heaven and Earth of the Taihuang Dynasty, which is the Haotian Yuanhai of the Great Heaven and Earth of the Taihuang Dynasty.

In this vast ocean that carries all the primordial energy and spiritual power of the Great Heaven and Earth, Taiwei found three great rivers belonging to the three treasures of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, and his primordial spirit couldn't wait to merge into these three great rivers.

In an instant, Taiwei's will merged with the three great rivers. From the perspective of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, Taiwei experienced the profound spiritual energy that connects the two paths of Heaven and Man.

Blessing, severing bad luck, eliminating disasters, resolving difficulties, sublimating, and attaining enlightenment—this time, Taiwei truly delved into the root of the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity. At this point, Taiwei had even become a part of the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity.

Taiwei's own strong will ensured that Taiwei would not be assimilated by these three source spiritual energies, so that Taiwei did not have to worry about being bound by the power of Haotian Yuanhai.

Auspicious light of three colors—apricot yellow, sky blue, and bright red—fell down, and six sacred and majestic gods faintly appeared behind Taiwei. As Taiwei sensed these six gods, a look of enlightenment rose in his heart.

At that very moment, Taiwei clearly sensed the immense divine power emanating from several directions of the Great Heaven and Earth of the Taihuang.

One is vast and continuous, like an endless river; one is masculine and brilliant, illuminating all directions; one is a torrent of streams flowing into the sea; one is earth-shaking, pure and majestic.

Further away, there were several divine powers that Taiwei could not perceive or clear, but it was these four divine powers that he could clearly perceive that made Taiwei realize that he had unintentionally found the mainstream cultivation method of the Taihuang Great World.

The Great Heaven and Earth of the Thai King is an eternal Great Heaven and Earth that has been eroded by the divine source. The main path of cultivation in this Great Heaven and Earth is always the same: the divine path.

In this vast world, the most perfect and powerful cultivation system is to forge a divine system, elevate the divine court, and ascend to the position of the supreme Heavenly Venerable.

Taiwei sensed that each of the four divine powers was filled with an extremely obvious aura of a divine king. These four people had already forged their own divine systems. Coincidentally, Taiwei had also vaguely understood the way his own Great Dao of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity was forging its divine system when he was comprehending the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity and Longevity.

The aura of good fortune on Taiwei's body continued to expand and surge, and the aura of good fortune between heaven and earth was divided into three paths under the control of Taiwei's divine sense.

The first strand of blessed energy connects with the Great Dao of Heaven. It is formless and intangible. The three colors of Heavenly Dao energy—blue, yellow, and white—intertwine and converge, transforming into a First-Rank Nine Qi Blessing Heavenly Official Emperor, the Palace Master of Shangyuan Palace, who wears a dark blue heavenly robe, a flat heavenly crown, and a faint smile.

The second stream of blessings connected with the Great Dao of Kunyuan, vast and boundless. The primordial chaotic spirit energy coiled and the pure yellow energy condensed, transforming into a serene and dignified Second-Rank Seven Qi Pardoning Earth Official Emperor, the master of the Zhongyuan Palace. He wore a golden jade robe, a hibiscus crown, and had a peaceful expression.

The third stream of blessings connected with the Great Dao of the Vast Ocean, vast and boundless. The Qi of Wind and Marsh gathered, and the essence of Morning Vast settled, transforming into a Third-Rank Five Qi Water Official, the Lord of the Lower Yuan Palace, wearing azure robes, a light blue crown, and with a gentle face.

The Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the Earthly Official pardons sins, and the Water Official relieves calamities. The Qi of blessings and virtues gives rise to the Three Great Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Water, who are of the Three Ranks. Taiwei naturally comprehends the Great Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Water of the Great Heaven and Earth, and his control over the Qi of blessings and virtues reaches its peak.

In this Great World of Emperor Tai, the only way to condense the Great Luo Dao Fruit and advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord, or rather, the Great Luo Divine Lord of the Great World of Emperor Tai, is to evolve one's own divine system.

Taiwei chose to focus on cultivating the Qi of the Three Treasures of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity, and naturally, he also wanted to develop his own Tianrui Divine System.

The so-called Tianrui represents the three auspicious energies of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, which are also the foundation of Taiwei's own Great Dao.

Currently, Taiwei has used its auspicious energy to generate the Three Primal, Three Rank, Three Officials Great Emperors. If Taiwei can subsequently generate deities representing the auspicious energy of destiny and longevity, it will signify the completion of Taiwei's own pantheon. (End of Chapter)
