In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

Chapter 164 Emperors: Fighting Saint Emperor, why was our calculated time wrong? (4k)

Princess Wanlong pursed her lips slightly as she saw that Sha Xiao completely ignored them, and her heart stirred with emotion.

Her inner fighting spirit made her unhappy that Sha Xiao ignored her, but the ancient clan's concept of respecting the strong from childhood made her understand Sha Xiao's behavior.

No matter how noble their status or how powerful their bloodline, none of it mattered to Sha Xiao, a powerful figure who could effortlessly dispel the pressure of the dual imperial weapons.

Of all those present, only the Emperor's Weapon God, as the bearer of the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit, was qualified to speak with him.

Man, I'll remember you!

Gritting his teeth, he resolved to surpass Sha Xiao and memorized her face.

Princess Wanlong sent a divine message to the Great Sage Qianlun, gritting her teeth as she commanded, "Awaken the Imperial Weapon; we cannot fall behind."

Having been waiting for orders, the Great Sage Qianlun immediately poured his surging divine power, enough to fill the Milky Way, into the bottomless Ten Thousand Dragon Bell.

"boom""

The natural Daoist charm and dragon might seemed to tangibly coalesce into the Myriad Dragon Bell.

The purple Wanlong Bell raised its head, like a resurrected true dragon, domineeringly seizing a territory from the oppressive aura of imperial weapons such as the Qilin Staff and the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Halberd.

"Speak, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Wan Longling quickly figured out what had happened, softened her tone slightly, and looked at Sha Xiao to ask.

Its true form was present when Sha Xiao was refining the Myriad Green Immortal Gu. Although its divine sense did not regenerate, it still remembered Sha Xiao's actions.

As an imperial weapon, his perspective was far broader than that of the Great Sage Qianlun.

Upon waking up, Wanlongling immediately realized that the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon was wrong, and the Myriad Azure Immortal Gu was even more wrong.

Wanlongling would bet that if Sha Xiao could refine the Heavenly Heart Mark of the Wanlong Emperor...

Then, as long as one offers up the Great Emperor's Daoist essence and the essence blood of the Dragon Princess, the Dragon Princess will surely be able to defy the heavens and return to life.

However, it didn't know whether Sha Xiao's creation of the Myriad Green Immortal Gu was just a lucky accident or if he truly had the ability to create this type of immortal Gu, so it could only wait and see.

Looking at the revived imperial weapons and deities, Sha Xiao said bluntly, "Since you want to form an alliance, let's speak frankly."

"An alliance is bound to be dangerous. You are all members of the ancient royal family, and your enemies must be formidable."

"The Great Emperors must have all deduced the path to immortality. I think this is the only thing that would make you all want to form an alliance with me."

The numerous imperial weapons remained silent, tacitly acknowledging the matter.

"That's true."

Seeing that Sha Xiao was staring at them without saying a word, the Qilin Staff spoke first and agreed.

"Since the imperial princes and princesses have been arranged to awaken in this era, you all probably know that this era is the one in which the path to immortality will emerge."

Sha Xiao spoke calmly about something that would cause a sensation in the universe if it were said outside, but which was something that many core members of the imperial clans knew very well.

"Indeed, the Emperor has made arrangements for the Princess. This will be a golden age, a time of both danger and opportunity."

"This is a test given by the Great Emperor to his children. If they can prove themselves as emperors in this era, they may be able to fight on the path to immortality in place of their father."

Wan Longling glanced at her spirited princess with a complicated expression, then looked at the imposing Sha Xiao, and sighed silently.

On a planet where a Great Emperor has attained enlightenment, on a planet where the suppression of all paths is so strong that the difficulty of the Tribulation of Slaying the Dao King is no less than that of the Tribulation of a Saint.

An extraordinary genius has emerged who, at the tender age of thirty, has already stepped one foot into the Great Sage realm and has even pioneered a completely new path of cultivation.

The Emperor's prediction was correct; this is indeed a golden age.

The problem is that the gold is of a slightly higher quality.

That's not ordinary gold, it's celestial gold!

Even for imperial princes and princesses, it would be absolutely impossible to catch up with such an unparalleled genius.

If they want to attain the Dao and become emperors, they can only hope that Sha Xiaoka remains stagnant at a certain level, or that he will perish midway through his cultivation.

Otherwise, the throne in this life would almost certainly be secured.

Of course, this is because these imperial weapons have only recently awakened and have not yet conducted a thorough investigation of the universe.

If they were to even slightly raise their voices, Sha Xiao would be considered lucky.

What stands before these imperial sons and daughters is an alternative path to enlightenment, Gai Jiuyou, who, having resolved their inner conflicts, can undergo the Great Emperor Tribulation at any time once their Dao injuries are healed.

He is the Golden Crow Quasi-Emperor, who is hiding on the ancient star of Heavenly Soldiers, reborn to prepare for his final leap.

He is the Emperor, the ruler of the Divine Court, who dominates one side of the universe, possesses near-ninth-level cultivation, and is only one step away from the ultimate leap.

It is the reincarnation of the Supreme Lord of Morality, Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor of the Void, the Great Emperor of the Universe, and so on.

Each of them is someone who can attain enlightenment when the time is right.

Faced with these old guys who are ten steps ahead of them, the current imperial princes should have started a thousand years earlier if they wanted to become emperors.

I don't know why, but they only started to rise up when they were almost on their path to immortality.

Perhaps this is the confidence that ancient emperors had in their own children.

They can achieve enlightenment in a thousand years by starting from scratch. You little brats have the protection of the imperial laws. Aren't you all able to become emperors in a few hundred years with ease?

The five imperial princes and princesses present were unaware of their bleak futures; except for Ji Zi, they all raised their heads proudly.

As sons of the Great Emperor, they all aspire to break free from the shackles of imperial rule and attain the Dao to become emperors.

They also had the desire to fight in place of their fathers against the sons of many great emperors, to prove their fathers' power.

"Hehe, since that's the case, I'm sure all the great emperors should have an accurate estimate of the time required to achieve immortality."

A pair of glasses appeared silently on Sha Xiao's nose. He adjusted them, adding a wisp of Wanqing Immortal Gu's aura, and looked at the several Imperial Weapons with a leisurely air: "Tell me your deductions, and I'll give you our answer last."

Sha Xiao looked at the various imperial weapons and let them consider the pros and cons.

In the eyes of many imperial weapons, Sha Xiao meant that they had to tell him the results of the ancient emperor's deductions before he would reveal the Azure Emperor's judgment.

For figures like them, knowing the time frame predicted by the ancient emperors allows them to deduce the approximate state of these imperial weapons and the ancient royal family.

Sha Xiao's meaning was clear: to obtain information, they had to reveal their trump cards to establish mutual trust.

The imperial soldiers all wanted to refuse firmly to uphold the dignity of the emperor, but Sha Xiao's move was an open and unsolvable scheme.

As the last Great Emperor, the Azure Emperor's deductions of the path to immortality must have been the least affected and the most accurate.

If we could know the exact time, then we could accurately plan what to do next for these imperial weapons.

After a moment of silence, the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Halberd spoke: "According to my emperor's deduction, the path to immortality should have begun two hundred years ago. If the world changes, the timeline might be pushed back several hundred years."

Having woken up at some unknown time, Hengyu Furnace God muttered, "The time predicted by the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor should have been correct."

"Unfortunately, he attained enlightenment far too long ago, more than two million years after the God Emperor."

"Two million years is far too long, long enough for the world to undergo two earth-shattering changes since the Primordial Era."

"One time was at the end of the Primordial Era when the Battle Saint Emperor transformed into the Battle Immortal, disrupting the workings of heaven and earth. The other time was tens of thousands of years ago when the Azure Emperor passed away, causing another change in heaven and earth."

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Halberd snorted coldly and did not continue the conversation.

"snort...

'

For ancient emperors, a mistake was a mistake, and there were no excuses.

So that's how it is. No wonder it's said that in the original work, when the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor transformed into an imperial weapon, he should have been in the best condition, but his condition was ridiculously bad, almost to the point of madness.

It's likely that the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor originally chose to transform into an Emperor Weapon because the process would take too long.

If he hadn't done that, even if he occasionally came out to absorb the essence of immortality, he might not have survived until now.

Even the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, who created the secret of the word "Zhe" in the mythological era and took longevity as his Daoist title, has exhausted all his strength to live to this day.

Even Xiaoyao Tianzun, who had touched time through the secret of the word "Xing" and had come into contact with Duan Demingzun's identity, had to risk possessing a supreme being in order to survive into this era.

The Boundless Heavenly Venerable, who slayed the Chaos Body and set up the Boundless Array to create the Big Dipper, was directly submerged in the dust of history.

The Supreme Lord of Morality died completely, placing his hopes on Laozi, the Quasi-Emperor of Morality who had completed the cycle of reincarnation.

The Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor must have made preparations based on the previous timeline, but who knew that two monster emperors would appear in later generations, directly changing the world.

Under such circumstances, the Blood Phoenix Emperor's prediction, with an error margin of only a few hundred years, can already be considered accurate.

Unfortunately, for the Blood Phoenix Emperor, who was already operating at the limit of time, every moment was worth a fortune.

He was almost a thousand years too late, which is why he nearly lost his mind and became one with the weapon.

A glint flashed in Sha Xiao's eyes, which she concealed with her glasses.

"The Ancient Emperor's deduction differs from that of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor. The Path to Immortality should open 1,600 years later."

The Qilin Staff spoke in a muffled voice, as if it were suppressing a laugh.

Huo Lin'er didn't even bother to pretend; her bright face was full of smiles.

She swayed back and forth, trying to wink at Huang Xudao, who had just used his age to cover for her and do what she was supposed to do.

Helpless, Huo Qizi swayed back and forth with his younger sister, trying his best to stand between her and Huang Xudao.

They're allies, what kind of nonsense is this mockery?

Huang Xudao still looked as radiant as ever, but a closer look revealed that his face was frozen, and he was consciously using his muscles to maintain that expression.

"Same, it should be 1,600 years later, but now it seems there should be some discrepancy."

Wanlongling twisted her body and turned away, not wanting to look at the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Halberd.

"Hehe, I was too early. I thought it was six thousand years ago."

Jian Chen scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly.

Who asked you?

"You're mistaken, you were calculating six hundred years from now."

Helpless, the Void Mirror tried to smooth things over for its master, an old friend.

The several imperial weapons remained silent for a moment, but out of respect for the Void Mirror, none of them said anything.

"The Emperor didn't calculate it in detail, he only gave an estimated value of about five hundred years."

Hengyu Furnace spoke up.

After hearing all the information about the Imperial Weapons, Sha Xiao fell silent.

He looked at the imperial weapons of several ancient royal families and struggled to suppress his smile.

Good, good, good. No wonder almost none of the ancient clans in the original story treated the Holy Prince well. So that's why.

Both the Fighting Saint Emperor and the Azure Emperor pulled off a big move, directly causing the universe to deviate in direction and making all these ancient emperors miscalculate the time.

Sha Xiao put herself in their shoes and understood the feelings of these ancient royal families very well.

"Ahem." Sha Xiao coughed twice. "The most recent news I have is from two hundred years in the future."

Upon hearing this news, all the imperial weapons fell silent.

"are you sure?"

The Void Mirror urgently sent a divine thought to Sha Xiao to inquire.

Two hundred years! Two hundred years!

This time is too short; it will inevitably brew endless bloodshed and wounds.

Jian Chen raised his eyes, his gaze unsteady as he stared into the void, tears of blood dripping from the corners of his eyes. He whispered, "Blood, boundless blood and sorrow... Wait, this is... the void!? You bastard, were you prepared all along?"

Jian Chen's voice boomed like thunder in the silent hall, drawing everyone's attention.

Jiang Hengzhou stared at Jian Chen, gasping, "This is... the 'Previous Secret'! What did he see?"

"Wake up!"

The Void Mirror directly interrupted Jian Chen's state, forcibly waking him up.

Jian Chen snapped out of his daze, his momentum suddenly weakening. He coughed up blood and looked anxiously at the Void Mirror, asking, "Why did you interrupt me? I can still see. Wait, what did I see?"

The Qilin Staff said in a deep voice, "I misjudged you. What a fine fellow Daoist, to be able to glimpse a corner of the future."

"Blood and sorrow...?"

""

The bell trembled, its tone long and drawn out.

They were all Great Emperors who had attained the Dao Fruit. Having received the time given by Sha Xiao and heard a glimpse of the future, they already had a bad feeling.

The timeframe Sha Xiao mentioned is probably true.

But the final result is probably not so good.

Seeing the Imperial Weapons silently beginning their calculations, Sha Xiao spoke again, continuing, "It seems everyone has no more doubts about the timing. The next question is the location. According to your calculations, where will the Path to Immortality open?"

"It should be Beidou."

The Qilin Staff stopped its calculations and spoke.

"Beidou, that's why our clan moved here. If it weren't for someone's unjust actions, our clan would now be a sacred place in Beidou as well."

Wanlongling unleashed his imperial aura at Jiang Hengshen and Hengyulu without any attempt to conceal it.

"We are also from the Big Dipper. It was your own fault for not disciplining yourselves properly, and your subordinates besieged and killed the Chaotic Ancient Emperor. If we hadn't cleared the way for you, you would have been wiped out by the Chaotic Ancient Emperor long ago."

The might of Emperor Hengyu Furnace surged forth, blocking the oppressive aura of the Myriad Dragon Bell, and with a few words, he absolved Jiang Hengzhou of his cult-destroying act.

"Luan Gu? Never heard of that name before. Let him come if he dares!"

Wan Longling snorted coldly and retorted sharply.

"Oh dear, I didn't count Void and me, but judging from the attitude of those old guys in the forbidden zone, it should be Beidou, right?"

Jian Chen coughed and made jokes, looking at the Void Mirror uncertainly and asking.

"It's Beidou."

The Void Mirror spoke calmly, silently separating the auras of the two imperial weapons with the void.

"snort!"

Wanlongling and Hengyulu both snorted coldly, but they also withdrew their imposing aura.

"Kunlun Star..."

'

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Halberd spoke softly, a hint of shame in its tone.

This, this, this—the locations where other ancient emperors and great emperors made their predictions are all here, but the location where this emperor made his predictions is unique.

Could it be that our own emperor made a mistake in his calculations?

The timing was wrong, the place was wrong, and even if there were changes in the weather to cover it up, it was still really too embarrassing.

Seeing the questioning thoughts from the various emperors, Sha Xiao didn't keep them in suspense and nodded, saying, "The deductions of the emperors are correct, but I can be even more accurate here."

"The place that Tianxuan Holy Land found six thousand years ago was the right one, and the road beneath the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone is the correct one."

The Void Mirror and the Eternal Furnace remained silent; they had already deduced this long ago.

Sha Xiao paused for a moment, then revealed the second condition that no one knew: "I think you are unaware of this, but this path can only be opened by the intervention of a contemporary emperor who possesses the Heavenly Heart Mark and whose blood and energy are abundant."
