Honghuang Taihuang

Although Taiwei inherited everything from the Azure Emperor and had obtained all the divine skill manuals contained in the Eastern Divine Stele, he still decided to take a look at the divine skill manual created by the Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor, who was suspected to be a Primordial Great Luo Dao Lord.

The Five Heavenly Emperors were born from the origin of the Heavenly Dao, and were naturally divine. In the Great World of Ochre and Profound, only the legendary Ochre and Profound Heavenly Emperor, who created this Great World, could surpass these five.

The Five Divine Steles contain the Great Book of Divine Skills personally created by the Heavenly Emperor Zhexuan, and contain the foundation of cultivation in the Great World of Zhexuan.

The Antarctic Divine Stele carries the "Nanyun Tongtian Duling Ce", the Central Divine Stele carries the "Dijie Dongqing Jiuling Shu", the Western Divine Stele carries the "Jinzhen Haoming Dongwei Pian", the Northern Divine Stele carries the "Futian Diancang Shenyuan Jing", and finally, the Eastern Divine Stele, where Taiwei is located, carries the "Kaishen Baozhen Dongxuan Zhang".

Deep within the Eastern Divine Stele, countless purple and golden characters continuously ripple and expand, like the beginning of the universe's creation, or the heavenly heart nurturing all spirits, encompassing everything.

Taiwei Yuanshen transformed into countless parts, merging into these countless purple books and golden characters. Through this scroll, "The Chapter of Opening the Divine Treasure True Cave Mystery," he could perceive the cultivation level of the ancient Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor when he created this great book.

The core meaning of "The Chapter on Opening the Divine Treasure and the Profound Mystery" is to use the power of the Great Dao to evolve the clear and turbid universe, yin and yang, and the sun and moon. In fact, it is a higher level of application of the Great Dao of Creation.

However, unlike the all-encompassing Great Dao of Creation, the "Opening Divine Treasure True Cave Mystery Chapter" only uses the power of the Great Dao's opening to control the great power of the clear and turbid universe.

Although this large volume only focuses on the power of opening up the Great Dao, the cultivation concept of imitating the opening of heaven and earth and the creation of all things is refreshing to Taiwei.

Based solely on this scroll, "The True Mystery Chapter of the Divine Treasure Cave," Taiwei could determine that the cultivation level of the Ochre Profound Heavenly Emperor far surpassed that of the Five Heavenly Emperors born from the Five Divine Steles.

However, Taiwei can also confirm that Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor is not a Hunyuan Daluo Daojun, or at least when he created the "Opening Divine Treasure True Cave Mystery Chapter", Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor was not a Hunyuan Daluo Daojun.

Taiwei could understand all the cultivation concepts and key points in this great book of divine skills. In just a hundred years, Taiwei had thoroughly studied this book, "The Chapter of Opening the Divine Treasure True Cave Mystery".

If the Zhe Xuan Heavenly Emperor is a Hunyuan Daluo Daojun, then the "Opening Divine Treasure True Cave Mystery Chapter" he created must involve some of the profound mysteries of Hunyuan Daluo Daojun, and it would be impossible for Taiwei to thoroughly study it within a hundred years.

This volume, "The Chapter on the Opening of the Divine Treasure and the Profound Mystery," was not of great help to Taiwei, but it was not insignificant either. At the very least, this large volume gave Taiwei a detailed understanding of the cultivation philosophy at the beginning of the creation of the Great Heaven and Earth.

Unfortunately, the calamities of the Zhexuan Great World have occurred too frequently. After nearly ten major calamities, the Great Dao Laws and primordial energy of the Zhexuan Great World are far inferior to those at the beginning of creation. Therefore, this scroll, "The True Mystery Chapter of the Divine Treasure Cave", is not applicable to the current Zhexuan Great World.

If Taiwei were to cultivate this "Opening Divine Treasure True Profound Chapter", then unless Taiwei did not leave the Eastern Divine Stele, without the vast and boundless supply of creation essence within the Eastern Divine Stele, Taiwei would be unable to cultivate the "Opening Divine Treasure True Profound Chapter" to its peak.

The Great Heaven and Earth of Zhexuan has undergone several great calamities, and the cultivation system that was once considered the most powerful is no longer suitable for the current laws of heaven and earth. Therefore, this scroll, "The True Mystery Chapter of Opening the Divine Treasure Cave", can only serve as a reference for Taiwei.

However, through this large volume, Taiwei managed to understand part of the foundation of the Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor, and his gains were not small.

The Myriad Swords Azure Netherworld Dao Fruit shone brightly, and countless purple and golden characters were gathered and refined amidst the countless wandering sword lights. The giant rocks on the surface of the Eastern Divine Stele began to collapse continuously, and the surging essence of creation rose like thousands of azure light feathers, shattering the Eastern Heavenly Stele.

The Eastern Divine Stele, which is 9,900 zhang tall and 365 zhang wide, reappeared in the Great World of Ochre after hundreds of millions of years.

On the ancient and rough stone tablet, weathered by wind and rain, Taiwei, dressed in azure feathers and with an indifferent expression, stepped out.

The vast amount of creative essence contained in the Myriad Swords Azure Netherworld Dao Fruit and the Eastern Extreme Divine Stele has allowed Taiwei to reach the peak of the Great Luo Dao Lord realm the moment he appeared, which is equivalent to the peak of the Heavenly Emperor realm in this Ochre Profound Great World.

Because Emperor Zhexuan was the first person to break through to this realm, the Heavenly Emperor realm is the highest realm in the Zhexuan Great World. As for the Primordial Great World's Hunyuan Daluo Daojun realm, it is called the Heavenly Lord realm in the Zhexuan Great World.

According to legend, Emperor Zhexuan failed when he tried to advance to the Heavenly Lord realm, and his body and soul perished.

After comprehending the "True Mystery Chapter of Opening the Divine Treasure Cave", Taiwei could roughly determine that the Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor was not a Hunyuan Daluo Daojun. The rumors that the Zhexuan Heavenly Emperor opened up this great world were probably just rumors.

The Azure Emperor's essence has been completely refined by Taiwei into the Myriad Swords Azure Netherworld Dao Fruit, transforming into extremely condensed sword energy.

The Eastern Divine Stele, a supreme treasure, has also been refined by Taiwei. Although the five divine steles combined are comparable to the Taixu Supreme Treasure, the Eastern Divine Stele alone is still the most supreme treasure in the Zhexuan Great World. Apart from the missing Daxuan Heavenly Dao Sword, this divine stele is the most supreme treasure in the Zhexuan Great World.

"The Azure Emperor's essence has been refined, and the 'Opening Divine Treasure True Cave Profound Chapter' has been fully comprehended. Now, all that remains is the corpse of Li Zi."

The Five Heavenly Emperors once fought against the Great Calamity of the Heavenly Demon and together killed the Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor, Li Zi.

However, because this Heavenly Demon Ancestor gathered the resentment of billions of dead beings during the first great calamity at the beginning of creation, it is essentially immortal and indestructible.

Even the Five Heavenly Emperors could not completely kill this Heavenly Demon Ancestor. In the end, the Five Heavenly Emperors could only use the power of the Five Divine Steles to tear Li Zi's immortal demonic body into five pieces, which were then suppressed and worn down by the Five Divine Steles.

The Five Heavenly Emperors hoped to use the long passage of time to completely eradicate the demonic nature within this immortal demonic body, but it seems that the Five Divine Stele has failed to completely destroy it.

Beneath the Eastern Divine Stele lies the right arm of Li Zi, and Taiwei, when he transformed into the Azure Emperor, had already sensed the indescribable profound demonic energy beneath the stele.

It is called demonic energy, but in the language of the Great World of Ochre Profound, it actually means the power of destruction. However, this power is very similar to the demonic energy of the Primordial World, so Taiwei automatically converted it into demonic energy.

The Eastern Divine Stele shone brightly, and from among countless emerald green feathers, a pitch-black demonic light slowly bloomed. Profound, dark, violent, and fierce, the demonic energy began to devour the vast spiritual energy between heaven and earth as soon as it appeared. A constantly writhing and expanding demonic body slowly appeared above this demonic energy.

"It's amazing that he still has such power after being suppressed for so many years. At his peak, Li Zi was probably close to the level of the Zhe Xuan Heavenly Emperor. No wonder it took the combined efforts of the five Heavenly Emperors to dismember him."

Taiwei took a step, and the Eastern Divine Stele beneath him shrank into a long, sheathed sword with azure and emerald green hues and covered with golden patterns amidst countless cyan rays of light.

With a long sword tucked into his waist, Taiwei's eyes shone with dazzling sword light, tearing apart all the rampant demonic energy and thoughts around him. The remaining demonic energy and resentment of a dried corpse posed no threat to Taiwei in the present moment.

With the cultivation of a Taiwei Daluo Daojun at the peak, even at the peak of the Lizi realm, the outcome is uncertain.

In the center of the demonic energy, a withered and rotten arm appeared in Taiwei's eyes. The arm, covered with fine scales, looked normal, but Taiwei could feel an extremely powerful essence within it.

In terms of sheer strength, this arm, which has been sealed and worn down for millions of years, is even stronger than Taiwei.

Reaching the front of the arm, Taiwei drew his longsword an inch from its sheath, and a sword light as sharp as thunder and lightning struck the arm.

The dazzling sword light and the deep, violent demonic energy exploded together. The sword light soared into the sky, gathering the energy from all directions, and once again unleashed a blue sword light, tearing apart countless entangled demonic resentments.

Countless demonic energies and resentments burned fiercely on the dried corpse's arm. A long, sinister howl pierced through the clouds and spirits. Countless demonic energies on the dried corpse's arm converged, forming a colossal demon god whose specific face was indistinct, but whose figure filled the universe and whose body surged with boundless essence.

As the sword light fell, the demon god roared, and the gloomy demonic energy shattered the void, obliterating all the falling sword light.

"Let the resentment that has died rest in peace, and not try to make it come back to life."

A cold glint flashed in Taiwei's eyes, and he gathered the energy from all directions with his sword finger, striking heavily on the head of this demon god.

The exploding demonic energy caused the demon god to roar in anger. With a thunderous roar, the demon god once again unleashed a punch that shattered the void at Taiwei.

However, in the next instant, a heavy and vast sword light, as if it carried the weight of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and the Four Seas, tore apart the demon god's fist force from Taiwei.

As the sword light descended, the demon god crossed his arms, still trying to block Taiwei's sword. However, the immense power of the sword light, encompassing the nine heavens and nine earths, far exceeded the demon god's imagination. With just one sword strike, the demon god, whose body was connected to heaven and earth, was cleaved in two by Taiwei's sword and exploded into a constantly writhing dark cloud.

Taiwei, at the peak of the Great Luo Daojun realm, is the strongest being in this Zhexuan Great World. Even looking at the history of the Zhexuan Great World over the past 100 million years, Taiwei is considered one of the top three or five strongest people. However, Li Zi's arm is naturally no match for Taiwei.

Taiwei opened his left hand, and the tacit understanding formed after the collapse of the dried corpse's arm was all collected by Taiwei into the lapis lazuli scabbard at his waist. He used the vast demonic energy contained in the corpse of Lizi to further refine Taiwei's Eastern Emperor Sword, which was forged from the Eastern Divine Stele.

The Eastern Divine Stele itself is part of the Great Void Treasure. Taiwei used the Eastern Divine Stele in combination with the six sword styles carried by his own Myriad Swords Azure Nether Dao Fruit to create the Eastern Emperor Sword.

The East represents the extreme of heaven and earth, and the Emperor represents the master of all living beings. Taiwei held great expectations for his Eastern Emperor Sword.

The demonic energy transformed into a torrent and merged into the azure-gold scabbard. The longsword emitted a clear and stirring sword chant. With the corpse of the demon ancestor Li Zi as a whetstone, the quality of the Eastern Emperor Sword should be able to reach a higher level in the future.

With his left hand resting on the hilt of the Eastern Emperor Sword, Taiwei gazed at the calamity and malevolent energy permeating the distance, a slightly cold smile appearing on his face. How could the Heavenly Emperor not reveal his own aura upon his birth?

Taiwei's vast and boundless aura erupted instantly, its emerald green feathers, resembling those of a celestial phoenix, sweeping away the calamity and malevolent energy within tens of millions of miles around him in a flash. The immense aura caused even the Great Heaven and Earth of Zhexuan to tremble slightly.

The chaotic heavens and earth became clear in an instant. All the great powers of the Ochre Profound World understood that the owner of the Eastern Divine Stele, the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Pole, had been reborn.

"Are you the first one, Fu Yu?"

Above the Western Great Swamp of the Ochre Profound Heaven and Earth, the White Emperor, dressed in golden robes and with white hair, surrounded by endless radiance, looked at the countless blue feathers of light rising in the east and revealed a stern smile on his face.

The White Emperor was surrounded by endless, piercing golden light. A bright and dazzling golden sun, even more radiant than the sun, moon, and stars, rose from the Western Divine Stele behind him, sweeping away all the yin and evil energy around him.

On the Duanlong Ridge in Antarctica, layers of clouds stretch and expand, and countless colorful rays of light connect the sky and the earth, radiating a beautiful and magnificent brilliance.

Wearing a crimson dress and with a fiery floral decoration between her brows, the majestic and noble Crimson Emperor looked at the radiant feathers in the east and the golden sun in the west. She smiled, pointed her jade hand, and thousands of rainbow bridges spanned the Broken Dragon Ridge. The annihilating power wiped away all the evil energy and turbidity of the Western Land.

In the Arctic ice abyss, a giant Kun whale let out a melodious roar. Its huge tail broke through the ice of the sea king, stirring up endless tides and ice and snow. The tall and majestic Black Emperor, dressed in black robes and with black hair, walked step by step from the sea to the heavens.

Seeing the immense power emanating from the east, west, and south, the Black Emperor opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the malevolent energy, primordial energy, spiritual energy, and the light of the sun and moon from the far west. Instantly, the entire far west turned pitch black.

At the Central Heavenly Emperor Mountain, the Yellow Emperor, with his yellow robe, white hair, silver beard, and wise eyes, looked at the magnificent energy emanating from the four extreme regions and shook his head helplessly. While the rebirth of the Five Heavenly Emperors was certainly something to be happy about, the current Zhexuan Great World was no longer what it was when they were Heavenly Emperors.

In this vast and mysterious world, there are many beings who can rival the Five Heavenly Emperors. Their emergence is not good news for these powerful beings.

In the easternmost region, Taiwei looked at the energy and strange phenomena erupting in the east, west, south, north, and center, and a smile appeared on his face. Although the five Heavenly Emperors seemed to be one, their relationship was not good when they jointly ruled the Zhexuan Great World.

As long as one is human, one will inevitably have desires. Among the Five Heavenly Emperors, the Azure Emperor of the East pursues eternal immortality and ignores worldly affairs, while the White Emperor of the West pursues the ultimate sword path and does not participate in the great calamities and conflicts.

The Black Emperor of the Arctic desired to conquer the dragon races of the four seas and become their ruler. The reason why the dragon lord, Shenjiao, rebelled against the rule of the Five Emperors was partly due to the Black Emperor's excessive oppression of the dragons. (End of Chapter)
