A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

"It is my honor, thank you, Heavenly Emperor." Zhu Kun was overjoyed; this was exactly what he had been aiming for all along.

The two arrived in front of the towering stone gate. Zhu Kun said with great trepidation, "Heavenly Emperor, perhaps we should gather all the Imperial Jade before coming back, otherwise we might not be able to open it."

"Heh, all show and no substance, easily broken." Yun Hua stretched out his palm, without arousing any strange phenomena. He placed his hand on the stone door, feeling the restrictions and laws binding it. He directly destroyed several nodes, instantly opening the stone door.

With a creaking sound, the door that had been closed for ten thousand years slowly opened, emanating an ancient and vast fluctuation. However, it was like a gentle breeze to Yunhua, but Zhukun could sense the terrifying power of that fluctuation.

"It's open already?" Zhu Kun was incredulous. He had been trapped for thousands of years, yet the door had been opened so easily.

The two entered the space, which was a gray and hazy area, with several wide and open plains. After walking for more than ten minutes, they came to an ancient stone temple.

The stone palace stands silently on the vast, endless plain, an ancient aura emanating from it and echoing between heaven and earth.

In front of the stone hall, there was a vast plaza. On both sides of the plaza stood towering pillars, each thousands of feet tall, exuding a majestic and imposing aura.

Each stone pillar has a strange flame at its top. Although its original source has been severely lost, the laws within it remain intact.

The twenty-third ranked Xuanhuang Flame, the twenty-second ranked Wanshou Spirit Flame, and so on, up to the fourth ranked Jindi Burning Heaven Flame, all exist except for the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and the Void Devouring Flame.

Yunhua gathered his hands together, and a powerful suction force drew all twenty strange flames into his hands, condensing them into twenty fire beads, which he would use for later comprehension.

At the end of the square, the stone palace was shrouded in thick fog, obscuring its interior. Yunhua casually waved her sleeve, dispelling the fog and revealing the scene inside.

It was a stone statue ten thousand feet tall, in the shape of an old man, and that face was none other than the master of the ancient emperor's cave, the legendary Tuoshe Ancient Emperor!

The stone statue stands between heaven and earth, yet it exudes an aura of supreme power, as if it were ruling over the world. Around the statue, numerous orbs of light dance, creating a dazzling spectacle from afar.

These are hundreds of Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, which are extremely useless to Yunhua and Zhukun. However, Yunhua still put them away because these combat skills and cultivation techniques all have the wisdom and inspiration of their creators, and contain some interesting concepts and ideas. Perhaps they can catch Yunhua's eye and become part of his foundation.

"No one has come to this space for a long time," an aged voice said.

On the shoulder of the stone statue, an old figure stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on the two people below, as if looking at ants.

"Thoshegudi!"

Zhu Kun was shocked to see the old man dressed in simple robes; the figure looked exactly like the stone statue.

"The ancient emperor is still alive?!" Staring blankly at the old man who exuded an aura of supreme power that surpassed heaven and earth, Zhu Kun had an extremely horrified thought, after all, there was an emperor right beside him.

"Playing tricks, a mere Emperor-grade embryonic pill, yet you dare to compare yourself to an Emperor." Yun Hua glanced at the figure indifferently and said with extreme disdain.

"Hmph, my majesty is not something you can offend," said the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, his voice sharp and menacing.

"Now that you have seen the Heavenly Emperor, why are you not defeated? Your true destiny is lost, and your name will be remembered in the cycle of reincarnation!" Yun Hua unleashed his full power, the aura of the world's origin intertwined with the aura of the laws, emanating an aura of supreme eternity and timelessness, causing Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator and Zhu Kun to kneel on the ground, trembling with fear.

Yunhua directly took the Emperor-grade embryonic pill into his hand, erased its intelligence, and turned it into an ordinary pill. He said to Zhukun, "How about making a deal with me? Go to the Demonfire Plains to find the Pure Lotus Demonfire for me, and go to the Soul Clan to find the Void Devouring Flame. In return, I will exchange this pill that can make you an Emperor."

"The Heavenly Emperor is serious. Zhu Kun will risk everything, even death, to find these two strange flames for you."

The 109th Bodhi Tree

"Very well. In that case, I will first give you half of the Emperor Pill, enough for you to step into the half-step Dou Di realm. Even a nine-star Dou Sheng can be suppressed with a wave of his hand. After you find it, send it to the academy above. I will wait for you here."

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor. Zhu Kun will depart now to bring you the strange fire. Farewell." Zhu Kun and Yun Hua flew directly away from the empty ancient emperor's cave.

"Oh, right, your daughter should be in the academy up there," Yunhua reminded her, remembering Ziyan.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor." Zhu Kun tore open space and left, presumably to see Zi Yan.

The desolate ancient domain was Yunhua's destination from this point onward, all for the sake of the Bodhi tree, which could be considered the number one spiritual root on the Dou Qi Continent.

Yunhua needs its ability to reincarnate through a hundred lifetimes to accumulate enough wisdom in a short period of time, see through the fog of the laws, find its own path, and thus truly embark on the path to God.

With Yunhua's current strength, he spread out his vast divine sense and quickly found the ancient tree. It did not disappoint Yunhua. Although it was still far from being as powerful as the Bodhi Immortal Medicine, it might be transformed into a more powerful one by the laws of the Shrouding the Heavens world when it was brought back to the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Yunhua gazed into the depths of the desolate ancient domain. There, about several thousand feet away, stood a massive ancient tree with an enormous canopy, standing alone on the vast plain. A pure aura wafted above the tree, sometimes changing into various shapes, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.

Yunhua took a step and arrived in front of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Looking into the tree body, which was hundreds of feet above the ground, a longevity substance and the aura of life rushed towards him, and rings of light spread out, making it look magnificent.

Yunhua knew that this was the so-called Bodhi Heart, but it was rather strange that it grew in the center of the tree. However, the rich longevity substance was genuine, somewhat like the fruit of an immortal elixir, but without the effect of giving one another life.

The Bodhi Tree instinctively sensed the danger emanating from Yun Hua and immediately lowered its branches, releasing the five semi-saint powerhouses who were encased within its trunk.

The five half-saints were like ants to Yun Hua, but the Bodhi Ancient Tree, driven by instinct, still released them to fight against Yun Hua, which was indeed somewhat overestimating its own strength.

Yun Hua watched as the five half-saints flew towards him. In a flash, a terrifying gravitational singularity appeared at their center. This singularity was created by Yun Hua's Nine-Tomoe Samsara Eye. The terrifying gravity directly sucked the five half-saints into this tiny black hole. Even space itself couldn't be torn apart because it was locked by gravity. The five half-saints entered the event horizon of the black hole. The accretion disk tore their bodies into thin lines encircling the singularity. Their physical structures were destroyed, and they were beyond dead.

Yunhua walked under the trunk of the Bodhi tree, whereupon a beam of white light descended and enveloped Yunhua. Without resistance, Yunhua was pulled directly into the Bodhi tree.

An illusion appeared, attempting to immerse Yunhua in it. Unfortunately, for Yunhua, illusions were completely useless against him. Yunhua ignored all the illusions and went directly to the center area.

In a space filled with emerald light, an ancient tree, about ten feet tall, stood there as if it had existed forever. The tree was entirely emerald green, as if it were cast from the finest jade, and it exuded an astonishing vitality.

This tree is exactly the same as the enormous Bodhi tree outside, which is nearly a thousand feet tall, except that it looks countless times smaller!

Yunhua knew that this ancient tree, which resembled jade and was over ten feet tall, was the true body of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, while the thousand-foot-tall tree in the outside world was merely an external manifestation of its power.

"As expected of the Tree of Wisdom, it is indeed quite interesting. It can not only help people comprehend the Dao, but also create illusions. It's a pity that it is entangled by the evil thoughts of the so-called Dou Di."

Yun Hua looked at the scene displayed by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which was a battle between two Dou Di from ancient times. Yun Hua was not interested. He knew that the Bodhi Ancient Tree just wanted him to help it eliminate the evil thoughts of the Dou Di.

"Alright, I'll purify you. You'll follow me from now on. Don't worry, I won't chop you up to make a coffin lid." Yun Hua thought of a certain carrion-eating phoenix in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, who, like a spendthrift, chopped down the immortal enlightenment tea tree to make a coffin lid.

Yun Hua, with his divine eyes like the Samsara Eye, stared at the evil thoughts of the Dou Di within the ancient tree. Yun Hua's primordial spirit directly condensed into a small sword, its blade wrapped in dense evil-repelling divine lightning. In an instant, it crossed space and slashed down at the black energy within the tree. With a shrill scream, the black energy was dispersed by Yun Hua's small sword.

"Oh, you should thank me? No need. From now on, you are my tree." Yunhua looked at the Bodhi seeds given by the ancient Bodhi tree and said with a disdainful expression. Only a fool would ask for a thank-you gift; a normal person would want it all.

As the black mist dissipated, the ancient Bodhi tree, its entire body resembling jade, suddenly emitted a buzzing sound. Then, a bright green light burst forth, and dazzling green rays of light shot out from the tree, eventually filling the space and making the already abundant vitality here even more intense.

The ancient Bodhi tree at this moment is undoubtedly greener than before, and the faint chill that had permeated it has quietly dissipated. Now, the ancient Bodhi tree gives people a sense of peace, holiness, and wisdom.

Yunhua sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree and took out twenty fire pearls. He wanted to comprehend them all here, which would mean that he would completely master the laws of this strange fire.

Aside from the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame that he didn't obtain, Yunhua valued the Xuanhuang Flame, which was ranked last. Xuan represents the essence of heaven, and Huang represents the mother of earth. Although it didn't show any great power in this middle thousand world, that was because this world lacked the essence.

However, Yunhua felt that the Xuanhuang Flame had extremely strong potential. If brought to the world of Shrouding the Heavens, it might be transformed into a flame that could generate Xuanhuang Mother Qi. After all, Emperor Ye's Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron was forged from Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

Secondly, there are the Flames of Life and the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which represent a part of the laws of life. One can promote the growth of medicinal herbs, and the other can absorb the power of stars to heal injuries. They are extremely useful for Yunhua to perfect his laws of life.

Finally, there are the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and the Fallen Heart Flame, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, and the Soul-Devouring Demon Flame, which is not ranked. Since neither the Battle Through the Heavens nor the Shrouding the Heavens world has laws representing karma, or the laws are incomplete, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire does not have much power. However, it is extremely terrifying in the Primordial World and Journey to the West.

Within a month, Yunhua had thoroughly understood and integrated the laws of all twenty different flames, thanks to the enlightening wisdom of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

With this matter resolved, Yunhua's journey back home was also brought closer. Ignoring the Bodhi Tree's struggles, he branded it, transformed his palm into a sky-covering hand, scooped up the Bodhi Tree, soil and all, in one gulp, shrunk it in his palm, tore open space, and returned directly to Canaan Academy.

Yunhua did not take the Tuoshe stone statue in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Palace with her. It contained the inheritance of Tuoshe and a trace of original imperial energy, but Yunhua did not want it, so she left it to Xiaoyanzi.

Then Yunhua went to Zhongzhou to bring Qinglin back, then went to the Jiama Empire to bring back the two brothers Xiao Zhan and Xiao Ding, and then went to inform Xian'er and Medusa.

The reason for gathering these people is that Yunhua is about to leave this world, so we are saying goodbye to them and giving them some parting gifts.

Seeing that Zhu Kun had not yet arrived, he went to the Soul Clan in person, killed the Soul Emperor who was still fighting with a single palm strike, and captured the Fallen Heart Flame and brought it back to Canaan Academy.

As for Zhu Kun, he brought the Pure Lotus Demon Flame with him to Canaan Academy. He hadn't yet obtained his daughter and half of the Emperor Pill, so naturally he had to come along.

Chapter 110 Return

"Xiao Yunzi, what's the matter with you gathering all of us together?" Xiao Yan, who was about to become a Dou Huang, asked curiously.

“Yes, Brother Yun, I’m currently breaking through.” Xian’er, who was about to reach the Dou Zong level, said.

"Well, because I'm about to leave this world, I've gathered you all here to say goodbye."

"Ah, is Young Master Xiao Yun going to die?" Qing Lin asked blankly.

"Because I am not from this world, I came here only to gain experience. Now my strength is about to exceed the upper limit of the Dou Qi Continent, so I will soon be rejected by this world," Yunhua explained.

"No way, you're a time traveler too? No wonder you have such monstrous talent." Xiao Yan accidentally used the word "also," which completely confused the people around him.

"Haha, I'm different from you. You transmigrated through soul, while I directly possessed the body, only I became a baby and was picked up by Xiao Zhan."

"So, can I go back with you?" Xiao Yan asked hopefully.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I was able to return to my previous world because of special circumstances. As for you, once you break through to the Dou Di level, you can go to the higher plane of the Dou Qi Continent, which is the Great Thousand World. At that time, the Dou Di will only be a mid-level expert. Perhaps one day you will be strong enough to break the boundaries of the world, and then it wouldn't be impossible for you to return to your original world."

"So, Brother Yun, you've already become a Dou Di?" Xian'er asked.

"I'm a little stronger than a Dou Di. If you don't believe me, ask Old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun. He's eaten half a Dou Di pill, so he's practically a half-step Dou Di."

“Well, that’s true. Even the aura of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe isn’t as strong as that of young friend Yun,” Zhu Kun said, pulling at the displeased Zi Yan.

"This is the half of the Emperor Pill I promised you, enough for you to break through to the Dou Di realm." Yun Hua handed half of the pill, which was emitting terrifying energy fluctuations, to Zhu Kun. The original Emperor Pill only had a very small chance of allowing someone to break through to the Dou Di realm, but Yun Hua directly added primordial Emperor Qi to it, so it could guarantee a breakthrough.

"Thank you, but I am ashamed to accept this. I failed to defeat Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame, and you had to take action yourself."

"Haha, it's nothing, everyone. Right now, the Dou Qi Continent lacks primordial imperial energy, making it extremely difficult to break through. So I left a wisp of primordial imperial energy for each of you and completely replenished the primordial imperial energy of the Dou Qi Continent. So you must cultivate diligently from now on. When you reach the Nine-Star Dou Sheng level, the seal I left behind will be released, and the primordial imperial energy will reappear in the world. At that time, there will be emperors coexisting."

"Xiao Yanzi has the Burning Technique, which allows him to directly obtain the inheritance of the ancient emperor Tuoshe and break through to the Dou Di realm. It is located in the stone statue of the Tuoshe Emperor's mansion in the magma below Canaan Academy."

"Ah, why do I have to go through the inheritance of Emperor Tuoshe? Why don't you just give me the primordial imperial energy directly?"

"Haha, Emperor Tuoshe has a special intention, which he has reserved for those who cultivate the Burning Technique."

"Everyone, I have created a space in the Desolate Ancient Domain, where I left my legacy and some treasures. These are thirty-six Emperor Jade. Once you collect them all, you can open it. Inside, there are laws from other worlds. I am not as stingy as Tuoshe. I will leave these Emperor Jade to you."

"Damn it, what kind of twisted sense of humor do you have? Tuoshe only has eight Imperial Jade pieces, but you've managed to collect thirty-six. If this gets out, it might take a lifetime to collect them all."

"Haha, that's exactly what I think. Don't you guys find it interesting?"

"Not at all. The Dou Qi Continent is already chaotic enough. You're just adding fuel to the fire."

"Alright, actually, besides saying goodbye, I can give you some of my things too, since they're a bit useless to me now." Yunhua distributed the things he had made when he was bored to them, and then gave each of them a Bodhi seed.

During this conversation, Yunhua comprehended the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. More than twenty kinds of flames formed a chaotic flame, which Yunhua named the Chaotic Emperor Flame. It was extremely powerful, possessing the effects of all different flames, and also had the potential to continue evolving.

"Everyone, I am about to break through the limits of this world and leave. Perhaps we will meet again in the future."

Xian'er and Qinglin looked at Yunhua with great reluctance, but they knew they could not stay by Yunhua's side either. However, they believed that as long as they continued to grow stronger, they would have the opportunity to see Yunhua again.

Yunhua refined a wisp of the world's origin, and his strength increased dramatically. Terrifying fluctuations covered the Dou Qi Continent, and rolling chaotic clouds covered the Dou Qi Continent. Yunhua's primordial spirit phantom appeared, standing tall and upright, his purplish-red Samsara Eyes like those of a god or demon, watching over the mortal world.

"A Dou Di! It's that Dou Di from before! What's he up to?" Gu Yuan quickly flew into the air, gazing at Yun Hua's phantom from afar.

At this moment, all the creatures on the Dou Qi Continent were watching Yun Hua's illusory figure. The instant they saw him, they knew that he was an emperor.

Yun Hua's terrifying aura pierced through the shroud of the world's laws, and the world did its utmost to repel Yun Hua, who then arrived directly outside the Dou Qi Continent.

Here, terrifying chaotic currents and spacetime storms raged endlessly, and the Dou Qi Continent was like a small island in the ocean. In the distance, Yun Hua sensed a continent that was tens of thousands of times larger than the Dou Qi Continent. This must be the Great Thousand World.

Yunhua summoned the Gate to the Other Shore, wrapped the Bodhi Ancient Tree in the dimensional primordial embryo, and stepped directly into the crack of the gate, disappearing into the chaos outside this world.

At the Immortal Pool, in the land of immortality, Yunhua, who had been meditating on a secret technique with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and a blazing divine light shot out, distorting the void in front of him.

"Has Zhongyun returned? I've been waiting for so long. Fortunately, my Dao-Slaying Secret Technique has been completed, and the hidden acupoints of the Human Immortal Martial Path have been located." Yunhua murmured to himself, as a phantom portal appeared behind his head.

The Gate to the Other Shore opened a crack and spat out two things. The first was the essence blood and a wisp of divine soul that he had released back then. Now they could return to their original bodies. The blood and divine soul directly merged into Yunhua's body.

The last item was the Bodhi Ancient Tree encased in the dimensional embryo that Yunhua had been waiting for. As soon as Yunhua took out the Bodhi Ancient Tree, this precious tree, which was over ten feet tall and emerald green and flawless, began to float in the air, radiating boundless divine light.

With the Samsara Eyes opened and the Chaos Dao Fruit empowered him, Yun Hua wanted to see clearly the process of the laws of the Shrouding the Heavens transforming the Bodhi Ancient Tree. He saw all the laws of heaven and earth surging into the Bodhi Ancient Tree, replacing some laws unique to the Battle Through the Heavens world. Various mysterious laws intertwined on the origin of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. These laws were extremely domineering and instantly suppressed and analyzed the laws of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

The laws of this other world can bring great benefits to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Therefore, the world consciousness specially sent down a beautiful and illusory fairy flower to merge into the body of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. The Bodhi Ancient Tree, whose body was shattered due to violent modification, rapidly recovered its body after the fairy flower entered.

In this way, countless principles of the Dao were integrated into the transformation, and a large amount of divine light and pure energy overflowed. This process lasted for a full nine days before it was completed. Perhaps because the world of Shrouding the Heavens had the Bodhi Immortal Elixir, there was a template to copy. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths transformed the Bodhi Ancient Tree according to the direction of the Bodhi Immortal Elixir.

The effect did not disappoint Yunhua. The fairy flower completed the original essence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. After the transformation, the tree trunk, which was more than ten feet tall, shrank to six feet in height. It could still produce Bodhi seeds, but the number was reduced to ten. Each seed needed to grow for a thousand years to mature, and its effects became more powerful.

Chapter 111 The Laws of Slaying Saints and the Cycle of Reincarnation

Yunhua estimates that it has half the effect of the Bodhi Immortal Medicine Fruit. If ten Bodhi seeds are strung together, the combined effect may be 50%.

However, compared to the Bodhi Immortal Elixir's effect of giving one a second life, Yunhua's Bodhi seed only has half the effect when worn, but after consumption, it can directly lead to a sudden enlightenment. It also contains a large amount of longevity substances and pure essence, enough to allow one to have a sudden enlightenment and then break through to regain a thousand years of lifespan. It can be seen that its effect is so powerful that it is completely no less than the effect of the Immortal Elixir.

The ancient Bodhi tree can also condense Bodhi mind, taking six thousand years to condense one seed. Its effects are similar to those of Bodhi seeds, but five times stronger. Don't underestimate the difference of five times; it is enormous, as five times can bring about a qualitative change.

Bodhi seeds only have full effect below the level of saints, but their effect of helping people to achieve enlightenment gradually decreases at the level of saints and sages, and loses its effectiveness at the level of quasi-emperors. However, Bodhicitta still has an effect on quasi-emperors and great emperors.

Finally, there is the effect of the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, which can be performed once every ten thousand years. Moreover, it has the same effect on cultivators in the human realm. Therefore, even if Yunhua becomes a Great Emperor, he can still use the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation to undergo another Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation in a state of enlightenment ten thousand years later. This is the most important point that makes the Bodhi Ancient Tree comparable to the Immortal Elixir.

Yunhua felt like a tree farmer, looking at what he had planted: a World Tree sapling whose original form was Jianmu, a Divine Tree of Immortal Sword, an Ancient Bodhi Tree, a White Tiger Immortal Medicine, and a Semi-Divine Medicine He Shou Wu.

Yunhua planted the Bodhi tree beside the Immortal Pool, using the boundless essence of the Immortal Pool to undergo a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, to find his way and thus sever his path in one fell swoop.

Before that, Yunhua needed to use the Dao-Severing Secret Technique to sever all the Sacred Dao Laws within his physical body and primordial spirit. Although these Sacred Dao Laws were byproducts of Yunhua's transformation into the acquired God-Demon Chaos Body, he had to sever them if he wanted to forge his own path.

Just as the Western Emperor severed Wu Shi's Saint Realm cultivation, these Daos have become obstacles for Yun Hua. Not only these Saint Dao laws, but even this physique, when Yun Hua lives out his next life, will be severed, transformed into a mortal body, and forged into a physique most suitable for himself.

Although the acquired power of the God-Demon Chaos Body is extremely powerful, it can be said to be the number one physique in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths throughout history, giving people an immortal body, just like a true immortal in the world. Unfortunately, this is Pangu's physique, which is most suitable for Pangu, not Yunhua's. Pangu's Dao is constantly attracting and guiding Yunhua's Dao toward Pangu's Dao.

Yunhua conjured a Heavenly Blade, modeled after the concept of Heaven Severing Humanity. It was formed from the Dao principles that Yunhua had truly comprehended, and was intended to sever his own physical body and primordial spirit according to the sacred Dao principles.

Yunhua's strike was like a divine decree, imbued with unwavering resolve. It transformed into a phantom blade of light that flashed past and struck Yunhua's primordial spirit directly. Because the primordial spirit is more important and fragile, in order to avoid damaging its foundation, the sacred laws on the primordial spirit were removed first.
