Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 268 The Heavenly Heart Emperor Has Already Returned

"You are responsible for keeping things under control in the Xuanhuang Realm. Yun Luo of Tianyun Kingdom will unify the Xuanhuang Realm, and you just need to give him your full support."

Li Changsheng said expressionlessly, "From today onwards, you don't need to do anything. You just need to wait for Yunluo to complete the unification."

"Yes, Dao Ancestor."

Xuanhuang Zhenjun felt a chill run down his spine. Was this Heavenly Cloud Sword Immortal someone whom the Dao Ancestor had supported?

No wonder that terrifying swordsmanship made him feel terrified.

Especially those four killing swords, even he wasn't confident in their abilities.

With those four killing swords, it wouldn't be difficult for Yunluo to defeat the other kingdoms and unify Xuanhuang.

Li Changsheng settled down in the Heavenly Court. There were formations there that could accelerate cultivation, but the effect wasn't great; it was better than nothing.

Xuanhuang Zhenjun was unaware of the cultivation methods of Daoist immortals.

Li Changsheng also sought out the research on the methods of the wandering immortals and true immortals of this era, as well as a method for cultivating celestial immortals.

Although the Celestial Immortal Technique is very ordinary, it is the most precious thing of the Mysterious Yellow True Lord.

Li Changsheng focused on his cultivation, transforming his inner strength.

The Great Dao Jade Disc floated above his head, with strands of Great Dao Laws descending and imprinting themselves on his body.

The Chaos Immortal Power is rapidly increasing, advancing towards the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Yunluo, wielding the Four Swords of Zhuxian, routed the Ming Dynasty immortals, causing them to fall one by one.

Immortals immediately reported to the Heavenly Court, but the response they received was that they should handle their own affairs in the mortal realm.

If they were capable, they could kill Yun Luo, and the Heavenly Court wouldn't care.

Upon hearing this, the Great Ming Immortal almost cursed.

If they could handle Yun Luo, they wouldn't have come to the Heavenly Court for help.

Some celestial officials of the Ming Dynasty wanted to ask the True Lord Xuanhuang to intervene, but the True Lord Xuanhuang stripped them of their celestial positions and expelled them from the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, the Ming Dynasty realized that they had been abandoned by the Heavenly Court.

Countless immortals of the Ming Dynasty cursed the Heavenly Court, but to no avail.

Some immortals chose to surrender, while others chose to seek help.

The great Confucian immortals understood the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

But just as they arrived to provide assistance, Ao Yue and Zhang Yue from the Heavenly Court also descended to the mortal realm to help the Tianyun Kingdom.

Huang Chenghu also led the Huang family immortals to provide support, but none of them came in the name of the Heavenly Court.

After all, besides the Xuanhuang Zhenjun of the Heavenly Court, some immortals are also involved in other worlds, so the Heavenly Court cannot directly intervene.

Yunluo, wielding the Four Swords of Zhuxian, activated the Zhuxian Sword Formation, slaughtering countless people.

The Great Confucian Kingdom chose to remain indifferent and secretly sought out the Heavenly Cloud Kingdom to sign a peace treaty.

  

During Li Changsheng's century-long seclusion, Yun Luo had already conquered the entire Ming Dynasty and spent fifty years personally exploring every inch of its land.

Unfortunately, the seal on the willow tree could not be found again.

Having conquered the Ming Dynasty, the Tianyun Kingdom has temporarily settled down, as it will take some time to assimilate such a large nation.

Yunluo also took the opportunity to gather resources and focus on improvement.

Time flies, and another two hundred years have passed.

After two hundred years of recuperation, the Tianyun Kingdom has fully assimilated everything from the Ming Dynasty, and has even given birth to several immortals.

As the Tianyun Kingdom's national strength increased, Yunluo unilaterally tore up the peace treaty and started a major war.

With the help of Ao Yue and Zhang Yue, Huang Chenghu led the Huang family to explore every inch of the land.

Once the battle began, the Great Confucian Kingdom suffered a complete defeat.

Li Hao also achieved the Ascension to Immortality, using the Seven Treasures Tree to suppress and kill the immortals.

Li Hao now possesses extremely strong bloodline, and has already achieved some success with the Chaos Reincarnation Scripture, turning one immortal after another into nourishment.

The True Lord Xuanhuang sat high in the celestial palace, listening to the reports from the celestial officials, without issuing any orders; he was merely inquiring about the affairs of the mortal realm.

Fights between people in the mortal realm are none of the Heavenly Court's business.

It took Yunluo 150 years to conquer the Great Confucian Kingdom and kill countless Confucian scholars.

They also found Liu Wuyou's old body, a total of two tree branches!

Li Changsheng took the tree branch and also passed it on to Li Hao, granting him the Six Paths of Reincarnation Great Divine Power.

He passed on the Ancestral Dragon Treasure Technique to Ao Yue and the True Fire of the Sun to Zhang Yue.

As for Huang Chenghu, he passed on to him the Three Heavens Unity technique, which he created by integrating the methods of the Three Holy Lands.

Having mastered these great supernatural abilities, the five of them became even stronger and began to venture into other continents.

While Tianyun Kingdom was still processing the gains from Daru Kingdom, they first went to the other continents to deal with the immortals and search for Liu Wuyou's former body.

As Liu Wuyou's illusory image solidified, it also conveyed more information.

Most of them are cultivation methods and insights, as well as chanting the name of the Heavenly Emperor, hoping that she will return to us soon.

Li Changsheng also issued an order for the entire Tianyun Kingdom to chant the name of the Heavenly Heart Emperor.

As Yunluo gave the order, the entire Tianyun Kingdom should obey.

Today, Yunluo is the pillar of the Tianyun Kingdom, and his prestige is even greater than that of the Tianyun Kingdom's emperor.

As for concerns about being too powerful and causing suspicion, there's no need to worry.

If Yun Luo wanted, he could change the emperor at any time; everyone knows that.

In this world, the strong rule everything!

Li Changsheng would occasionally give Xuanhuang Zhenjun some pointers, hoping he could become a celestial immortal sooner.

As time flowed by, another four hundred years passed, and he successfully reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Yunluo found the willow branch again, and Liu Wuyou brought him the Dao of Immortals.

Above the Celestial Immortals are the Dao Immortals, Dao Immortal cultivators, and the Immortals of the Great Dao!

By forging the power of laws, sensing the Great Dao of Immortals and Gods between heaven and earth, and passing the trials of the Great Dao of Immortals and Gods, one can master the Great Dao of Immortals and Gods.

Having found his way, Li Changsheng focused on his cultivation.

On this day, Li Hao attained immortality and burned incense to pray, calling upon Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng separated a wisp of his divine soul to meet with Li Hao: "Any new discoveries?"

"Dao Ancestor, this disciple has not discovered anything. It is this disciple who wishes to leave the Xuanhuang Realm," Li Hao said.

"Leave the Xuanhuang Realm?" Li Changsheng asked, puzzled. "Why?"

"This disciple wishes to go out and hone myself, to see other worlds and search for any Great Sage's decree or the former body of the Heavenly Emperor."

Li Hao respectfully said, "The overall situation in the Xuanhuang Realm has been settled. With Sister Yunluo and the others here, my staying here is merely icing on the cake."

"Since you have such thoughts, then I will arrange for True Lord Xuanhuang to send you away."

Li Changsheng said calmly, "But remember, once you leave the Xuanhuang Realm, you must not easily reveal the Six Paths of Reincarnation or mention the Heavenly Heart Emperor."

"Why?" Li Hao asked, puzzled.

"Because the Heavenly Court has designated the Five Great Saints as extremely ominous, and the Heavenly Heart Emperor as a forbidden existence, strictly forbidding anyone from mentioning him."

Li Changsheng said indifferently, "And the Xuanhuang Realm is known as the Sin Realm, where all living beings are descendants of ancient sin immortals."

"The Realm of Sin? Descendants of ancient Sin Immortals?"

Li Hao's expression turned grim: "How could the Five Great Sages of Antiquity be considered an ominous force? And how could we be descendants of sinful immortals?"

"I also want to understand, but I still need to find the old body of the Heavenly Heart Emperor and cannot leave for the time being."

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "If I leave, they will only be in danger even if they find the old body of the Heavenly Heart Emperor."

"Dao Ancestor, this disciple is willing to go to the starry sky to investigate the cause. This disciple absolutely does not believe that the Five Great Sages are a great calamity!"

Li Hao said in a deep voice, "Qingtian is proud to be a descendant of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. We are not sinners!"

"Be careful once you get out. I will grant you three Great Dao powers to protect you. Each Great Dao power can save your life from the hands of Dao Immortals."

Li Changsheng transformed into three streams of chaotic energy, which entered Li Hao's body: "I hope that by the time Yun Luo and the others enter the starry sky, you will have already achieved something."

"Rest assured, Dao Ancestor, your disciple will certainly not disgrace your reputation," Li Hao said solemnly.

Li Changsheng nodded slightly and disappeared.

In the Xuanhuang Realm today, Yun Luo and the others are enough.

Li Hao staying here would only be icing on the cake; it would be better for him to go out for a walk first.

Xuanhuang Zhenjun saw Li Hao off to the Lesser Heavenly Realm where the Main Heavenly Court was located.

Yun Luo and the others continued their search for the former body of the Heavenly Heart Emperor in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Li Changsheng himself transformed his inner strength within the Heavenly Court, advancing towards becoming a Dao Immortal.

The long years of nurturing have given him boundless depth, and even reaching the pinnacle of Celestial Immortal status only required a small amount of his cultivation.

Once he has fully digested his own foundation, he doesn't know what level he can reach.

Time flies, three hundred years have passed in a flash.

After conquering the Western Continent, Yunluo found another branch.

Ao Yue, Zhang Yue, and Huang Chenghu conquered the northern and southern continents and found the tree branch of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

Huang Chenghu, on the other hand, obtained a stone containing the power of heaven, the information within of which shocked the three of them.

Li Changsheng revealed his divine soul and arrived at the summit of a mountain on the southern continent.

After waiting for a long time, Huang Chenghu and the other two handed the stone of heavenly power to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng held the blue stone and drew upon the power of heaven.

Buzz

The void rippled, and an extremely pure power of heaven flowed out, condensing into an old woman in green robes.

"Justice!" Li Changsheng stared expressionlessly at the old woman in green, questioning, "We have a good relationship, so why treat the former body of the Heavenly Emperor in this way?"

The old woman in green stared blankly at Li Changsheng: "So many years have passed, yet you remain unchanged, Li Changsheng, the Primordial Holy Embryo. When I first saw Yang Wushang, I was already extremely shocked, so I tried every means to wait for you."

"Wait for me?" Li Changsheng frowned. "Is this all you're going to do? Seal away the entire old body of the Heavenly Heart Emperor? Back then, they fought against the great calamity of heaven and earth, stormed into the starry sky, and protected the Xuanhuang Realm, but now they've become sinful immortals, extremely dangerous, and forbidden beings!"

"Alas." Qing Tian sighed and said, "I know you have sacrificed everything to protect the Xuanhuang Realm, and what you did was right."

"Hmm?" Li Changsheng frowned.

Qingtian's aged face held a hint of nostalgia: "I once wanted to go with Emperor Tianxin, but I became one with heaven and earth and could not leave. Emperor Tianxin then allowed me to return and guide the development of all living beings."

"So you erased the memories of our era, erased the information about Emperor Tianxin and the others?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Yes, I erased all of that."

Qing Tian readily admitted, "A new era has begun, and the old era will eventually pass away. I just didn't expect that the Heavenly Heart Emperor would still be influencing the Xuanhuang Realm."

Li Changsheng remained silent, simply gazing at her and waiting for her to continue.

Huang Chenghu and his two companions listened intently, holding their breath, afraid of missing some ancient secret.

Qing Tian continued, "As for sealing the body of Emperor Tianxin, that was Emperor Tianxin's order, not something I did intentionally."

"Her confession?" Li Changsheng frowned.

"When my lifespan was nearing its end, the old body of the Heavenly Emperor had already been restored, and she was worried that the old body would not be able to wait for you."

With the power of her returning immortality, she nourished my old body and extended my lifespan.

Qingtian slowly said, "She said that she wanted to be reflected back in the era of your revival, so she asked me to separate her old body and seal it in various places in the Xuanhuang Realm."

Huang Chenghu and the other two were shocked to hear this. The Heavenly Emperor had already returned?

Li Changsheng never expected that Liu Wuyou had already completed the reflection, but in that era, he was still in the process of being conceived.

"I don't know what happened after that."

Qing Tian said, "Fortunately, you have woken up and found the old body of the Heavenly Heart Emperor."

Li Changsheng frowned: "Why did you erase everything from the past?"

"My selfishness lies in my desire to erase everything and exclusively uphold the Way of Heaven." Qingtian truthfully stated, "I have spent a long time erasing the ancient Way of the Daoist Venerable, the Way of Buddha and Demon, and even the Way of the Yellow Heaven and the Azure Heaven."

"I only wish for justice to prevail in the world, for the world to be just and upright! But at this point, I was wrong. When I had selfish desires, I was no longer the just and upright ruler I once was."

Li Changsheng remained silent. She had become selfish, only thinking about the prosperity of her own Heavenly Dao. She was no longer a qualified Heavenly Dao.

"All living beings in the world, regardless of race, are vying for resources."

Li Changsheng said indifferently, "The principle of the Tai Xuan Natural View back then was that what distinguishes good from evil was never the Dao, but the hearts of all living beings in the world."

"Yes, I had selfish motives and suppressed their development, using them as nourishment to strengthen the world."

I preserved the bloodline of the Yellow Heaven Holy Son, but I modified the Yellow Heaven Dao Scripture, precisely so that they could become nourishment for heaven and earth.

Qingtian looked ashamed: "But by the time I realized it, I was powerless to change anything. Changsheng, you've awakened. This world is now in your hands."

The blue stone turned to ashes, and the blue sky transformed into a stream of light that disappeared into Li Changsheng's brow.

Li Changsheng also gained some new methods.

Mending the heavens and earth with all living beings!

They created a catastrophe that caused cultivators to perish and return to the world.

They supported one great emperor after another, united with the Heavenly Emperor, and ultimately became nourishment for the Heavenly Emperor.

A paragon of justice, in the end, took the wrong path.

From the moment she harbored selfish motives, she had already betrayed the principles of impartiality and justice.

"Dao Ancestor." Huang Chenghu and the other two bowed respectfully.

They also gained an understanding of what happened in the past.

The Heavenly Emperor and his comrades sacrificed everything to fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth; this story should be told and celebrated.

But the remaining blue sky erased everything and even modified the Yellow Heaven Dao Scripture.

The ancient, inherited forces have become nourishment and tonics for the enhancement of heaven and earth.

Huang Chenghu's emotions were complex, filled with anger and hatred, but mostly with helplessness.

Qingtian is dead, so even if he wanted revenge, he couldn't find anyone.

"The old body of the Heavenly Emperor has been found. The rest will be left to Yun Luo. As for you, you can go to the Heavenly Court for training."

Li Changsheng regained his composure and said, "Li Hao has already left. After he left, he must hide his great supernatural powers well and not expose them casually. The Xuanhuang Realm is also a descendant of the sinful immortals, so try not to mention the Five Great Saints and the Heavenly Heart Emperor."

"Disciple understands." Huang Chenghu and the other two said in a deep voice, "Disciple will search in secret and bring it back to the Dao Ancestor after finding it."

Li Changsheng's figure disappeared, returning to his original form.

He looked at the method left by Qingtian in his mind and fell into deep thought.

Creating calamities for heaven and earth, isn't this the primordial calamity?
