Chapter 105: Zhenyuanzi Descends upon the Shrouding the Heavens World

For the Dark Supremes who have fallen into the Life Forbidden Zone and severed a blade of their own cultivation, everything is for the sake of becoming an immortal.

Amidst endless years, the endless waiting is all to await the opening of the Immortal Road and to break into the Immortal Domain.

Only when the Immortal Road opens will they cast aside all scruples and fight with all their might.

Therefore, even though other Dark Supremes suspected that Jiang Taixu possessed Undying Substance, they did not make a move.

Who knows if it is true or false?

The Dark Supremes do not want to take the risk.

A single Great Emperor appearing in the world can deter the seven great Life Forbidden Zones; why?

Is it because the Dark Supremes of the Life Forbidden Zones are weak?

No, it is because the Dark Supremes do not want to consume their life essence, and they do not want to be dragged to death by a Great Emperor.

But now, Jiang Taixu truly possesses Undying Substance, which is enough to make all the Dark Supremes in the various Life Forbidden Zones take the risk.

Just now, only seven Dark Supremes made a move, but now, almost all the Dark Supremes from the various Life Forbidden Zones have come out in full force.

Undying Substance and the mystery of longevity are worth them fighting with all their might.

From Taichu Ancient Mine, Qilin Ancient Emperor, Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, Wanlong Emperor, and Golden Ancient Emperor have emerged, and there are even two nameless Dark Supremes.

From Burial Heaven Island, Dapeng Ancient Emperor, as well as three nameless Supremes.

From God Ruins, Beast Emperor and Spirit Emperor.

From the Undying Mountain lineage, Undying Mountain Old Emperor and three Supremes of the Undying lineage.

From Reincarnation Sea, Xiaoyao Heavenly Emperor.

From the Underworld, Corpse Emperor and Yama Emperor.

From Immortal Tomb, Xian Lao and one nameless Dark Supreme.

A total of twenty-one Dark Supremes have all walked out from the Life Forbidden Zones.

From the various Life Forbidden Zones, except for a few Dark Supremes who are still in slumber, they have almost all come out in full force.

They are all Sage Emperors and Ancient Emperors who once looked down upon an era and overlooked billions upon billions of living beings; they are those who have attained the Dao and are invincible across Si Hai Ba Huang.

And now, they have all appeared.

Because as the aura on Jiang Taixu grows stronger and stronger.

The temptation for these Dark Supremes becomes greater and greater.

The Dark Supremes have a vague feeling that the current Jiang Taixu is like that Tang Monk Meat; take one bite, and one can directly become an immortal.

In the eyes of the many Dark Supremes, the current Jiang Taixu is supreme Creation, enough to drive one mad.

What truly moved them was not the words of Stone Emperor and Lord of Reincarnation.

It was the quality emanating from Jiang Taixu, like that of Tang Monk Meat.

Twenty-one Dark Supremes emerged, and the pressure of those who have attained the Dao directly tore the firmament apart.

Even this piece of heaven and earth seems unable to bear the power of those who have attained the Dao.

Even in the Mythological Era, when many Emperors coexisted, it was not as shocking as this moment.

At the same time, it also brought an indescribable sense of horror.

Twenty-one Dark Supremes, plus the five Dark Supremes from before; the number of those who have attained the Dao has now reached twenty-six.

For the living beings of Beidou, they only feel filled with despair.

With so many Dark Supremes, the only one guarding them is the White-Clothed God King alone.

Can the White-Clothed God King block them?

All along, everyone knew that Dark Supremes were sleeping in the various Life Forbidden Zones.

But they guessed the specific number was ten, or even ten-something.

Who would have thought that nearly thirty would emerge all at once.

No wonder that throughout countless years, generation after generation of Great Emperors emerged, yet they never ended the Darkness or pacified the Life Forbidden Zones.

It is not that the Great Emperors are not strong, but that the Life Forbidden Zones are too strong.

Can they still witness the end of the Darkness?

So many Dark Supremes make everyone unable to help but feel a trace of doubt.

The White-Clothed God King can kill one Dark Supreme, can kill five, but can he kill twenty?

Living in such a Dark Era is truly despairing.

Twenty-one Dark Supremes emerged, joining the five Dark Supremes who made a move earlier.

Just in one encounter, they suppressed the aura on Jiang Taixu.

After all, it is twenty-one who have attained the Dao joining forces; let alone Jiang Taixu.

Even if Di Zun were present, or Wushi Great Emperor had emerged, they would have the confidence to clash with them.

"In the whole world, all are ants; even a Great Emperor is but dust."

Wanlong Emperor sighed leisurely and said, "Jiang Taixu, White-Clothed God King, you are indeed an exception."

In the eyes of these Dark Supremes, even a Great Emperor cannot escape becoming a handful of dust in the end.

Since they fell into the Dark Forbidden Zone, they do not know how many Great Emperors' ends they have witnessed.

This is how the world is.

Even a Great Emperor who is invincible to all living beings must eventually turn into a handful of yellow soil.

Time is like a blade that slaughters Heavenly Pride.

If one does not fall into the Darkness, even a Great Emperor will eventually fall under the passage of time.

"Hand over the Undying Substance! Jiang Taixu, hand it over, and we will spare your life."

Golden Ancient Emperor looked at Jiang Taixu coldly.

Of course they would not spare Jiang Taixu; Jiang Taixu was now Tang Monk Meat, a great medicine for ascending to become an immortal.

But they wanted to know, what secrets exactly did Jiang Taixu possess?

The Undying Substance, the Longevity Substance—when the Immortal Road had not yet opened, where exactly did Jiang Taixu obtain them?

Jiang Taixu looked at the twenty-six Dark Supremes, his expression still neither sad nor happy.

So many Dark Supremes emerging was indeed somewhat beyond people's expectations.

But this was also a good opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

He spoke indifferently, "Did I not say it already? The Undying Substance and the secrets of longevity are all in my hands; you are welcome to come and take them, provided you have the strength to do so."

"Insolent!"

"Arrogant!"

"Interesting!"

The twenty-one Dark Supremes laughed heartily, and even the five Dark Supremes who had attacked first breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Taixu was indeed very strong, but now they had a total of twenty-six Enlightened Ones present.

Never mind Jiang Taixu; even if an immortal were to descend to the world at this moment.

They would dare to say: even an immortal must lower their head when seeing me.

If the Immortal Domain were to appear, they would even dare to shout: I dare ask the True Immortals of the heavens, do you dare come to this Human Realm?

With twenty-six Enlightened Ones joining forces and the advantage in their grasp, how could they lose?

And how did Jiang Taixu dare to say such things to them?

The twenty-six Dark Supremes attacked almost simultaneously, bringing forth supreme slaughter from all directions and angles.

As the twenty-six Dark Supremes attacked, they also unleashed a powerful refining force.

Since Jiang Taixu insisted on being stubborn and refused to reveal his secrets.

Then they would directly refine Jiang Taixu into a human-form great medicine and divide him up to eat.

The attack of the twenty-six Dark Supremes caused immense destruction to the heavens and earth.

This era was long past the Mythological Era, which could support the coexistence of many Great Emperors.

In this era, this world could only support one Enlightened One becoming a Great Emperor.

Dark Supremes usually slumbered within the Life Forbidden Zones, and even when they launched a Dark Turmoil, they took turns era by era, with only a few Dark Supremes emerging at a time.

Therefore, the heavens and earth could still hold up.

Now that twenty-six Dark Supremes were attacking, the heavens and earth could almost no longer support it.

Jiang Taixu's figure flickered in and out of existence, merging with the heavens and earth, his gaze profound and resolute.

He blocked the combined force of twenty-six Dark Supremes alone.

However, Jiang Taixu was ultimately not an immortal; facing the siege of these twenty-six Enlightened Ones, he let out a muffled groan.

The fluttering hem of his white clothes was once again stained with a trace of blood.

This was only because there was still medicinal power within his body that had not been fully digested.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have long since died and vanished under the siege of twenty-six Enlightened Ones.

Jiang Taixu sighed softly and said, "I am but an ordinary person after all; relying on my own strength alone, it is too difficult to pacify the Darkness."

His words were filled with endless regret.

It was a pity that he had ultimately failed to defy the heavens and could not suppress the Darkness by his own power.

The twenty-six Dark Supremes were nearly dying of rage.

What on earth are you regretting?

I am asking you, what on earth are you regretting?

The ones truly speechless were these twenty-six attacking Dark Supremes.

They had attacked together; even Di Zun or Wushi Great Emperor would be heavily injured if they took this blow.

Yet Jiang Taixu had only spat a mouthful of blood and was now expressing regret.

No, what exactly is he regretting?

You, an ant who is not even a Great Emperor, have withstood twenty-six Great Emperors without being defeated, having only spat a mouthful of blood.

What exactly are you posturing for?

Others call you the White-Clothed God King, do you really think you are a God King?

The twenty-six Dark Supremes were furious; Jiang Taixu's actions were a form of humiliation to them.

The twenty-six Dark Supremes attacked again, but this time Jiang Taixu did not hesitate and chose to call for reinforcements directly.

The alliance of twenty-six Dark Supremes was too powerful; even Jiang Taixu found it difficult to resist.

If Jiang Taixu had fully digested the medicinal power of the spiritual root, he would certainly have been able to easily suppress the twenty-six Dark Supremes.

Alas, the current Jiang Taixu did not yet have such ability.

"Jiang Taixu is willing to lead the Jiang Family to join the Heavenly Court; I request the Heavenly Court Envoy to descend, level the Forbidden Zones, and end the Darkness."

At this point, the only option was to request help from the Heavenly Court.

By now, Jiang Taixu had gained great trust in the Heavenly Court of the Great Desolate World.

With the strength of the Primordial Heavenly Court, if they had any ill intentions toward him or any ill intentions toward this world.

They would not be a match for them at all.

The only thing Jiang Taixu regretted at this moment was that he could only represent himself and the Jiang Family in joining the Heavenly Court.

Although the White-Clothed God King possessed great prestige among the Human Race, he could not represent all of the Human Race.

Although the Jiang Family was considered a holy land in Beidou, it was only the bloodline inheritance family of the Hengyu Great Emperor.

There were quite a few such imperial clans in Beidou as well.

Among the various Holy Lands, which one has not had a Great Emperor among its ancestors?

It is precisely because of this that even though the White-Clothed God King has great prestige, the others merely admire his character.

If one were to ask these Saints to consider themselves under the command of the White-Clothed God King, that would be impossible.

The situation in the Zhetian Shijie is different from that of the Perfect World.

In the Perfect World, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths faced the foreign races of the Foreign Realm, and it could be said they were retreating steadily, barely able to resist, never knowing when they might be wiped out.

Meng Tianzheng held up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths within the Imperial Pass, so many of the Human Race acknowledged Meng Tianzheng.

To a certain extent, Meng Tianzheng could represent the Human Race, or at least, he was one of the leaders belonging to the Human Race.

In the Zhetian Shijie, although there are seven Life Forbidden Zones and countless Dark Supremes who launch Dark Turmoil from time to time.

Yet, there have also been generation after generation of Human Race Great Emperors who slaughtered their way into the Life Forbidden Zones to deter the Dark Supremes.

Generation after generation of Human Race Great Emperors appearing made the living beings of the Beidou World understand that they were not without the power to fight back against the Dark Turmoil.

It is even said that every few eras, a formidable Great Emperor like the Wushi Great Emperor would appear, sweeping across the Supremes with no equal.

In the Zhetian Shijie, although there is Dark Turmoil, they are not without the power to resist, and the situation is far from being that critical.

Therefore, even though they admire the White-Clothed God King, in the eyes of most Saints, the White-Clothed God King is merely a powerhouse of the Human Race, not the leader of the Human Race.

Consequently, for now, it is only Jiang Taixu leading the members of the Jiang Family to join the Heavenly Court.

Hearing Jiang Taixu's words, all twenty-six Dark Supremes furrowed their brows.

The Heavenly Court?

The Heavenly Court of the Mythological Era?

Di Zun?

Di Zun was one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era, but he defied the heavens to live a second life.

He created the Ancient Heavenly Court and became the Lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court, worshipped by ghosts and gods alike, and revered by the Myriad Clans.

Di Zun was invincible above and below the heavens, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths submitted to him, his Qi swallowed the universe, he subdued gods, ruled over the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, and became the most revered person of all time.

Just as his title suggests, he was the supreme among emperors, the supreme among Great Emperors.

In the era he ruled, the emperors of the Ancient Heavenly Court coexisted, and all submitted to the rule of Di Zun.

Could the opportunity Jiang Taixu possesses have been obtained from the Heavenly Court?

Was it gifted by Di Zun?

Many Dark Supremes were very suspicious; could it be that Di Zun, who disappeared in the Mythological Era, did not die?

Instead, he spanned the ages, laid out plans for eternity, and in secret, he had already defied the heavens to become an immortal.

Jiang Taixu is merely a puppet he pushed out.

Di Zun was supreme among Great Emperors, yet he disappeared at his peak, and no one knows where he went.

Did Di Zun master the Undying Substance? The Longevity Substance?

The faces of the twenty-six Dark Supremes carried an unprecedented gravity.

If the opponent is Di Zun, then they must be careful; after all, this most revered person of all time is supreme among those who have attained the Dao.

However, after knowing it was Di Zun, the twenty-six Dark Supremes also breathed a sigh of relief to some extent.

Only the unknown is truly terrifying.

They had indeed heard of the name Di Zun, but now there are twenty-six who have attained the Dao here.

Even if it is Di Zun, he cannot act recklessly.

"Jiang Taixu, even if you summon the Ancient Heavenly Court to descend and summon Di Zun, it is of no use."

"Even if Di Zun is here in person, you will still die today."

Hearing the words of the Dark Supremes, Jiang Taixu did not answer, only looking at them indifferently.

These Dark Supremes thought that what he summoned was the Ancient Heavenly Court of this world.

They were wrong; the Heavenly Court he summoned was far more powerful than the Heavenly Court of this world.

In the Great Primordial World, within the Heavenly Court, Qin Hao also received Jiang Taixu's request.

【Ding-dong! Detected that in the world codenamed Zhetian Shijie, Jiang Taixu is leading the Jiang Family to join the Heavenly Court. Do you grant permission?】

"Granted!"

Qin Hao cast his gaze across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds and saw the situation in the Zhetian Shijie.

The Dark Supremes of the Life Forbidden Zones have all come out; no wonder Jiang Taixu wants to join the Heavenly Court.

【Ding-dong! Jiang Taixu of the Zhetian Shijie has led the Jiang Family to join the Heavenly Court. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 90 million Qi Luck points.】

Qin Hao summoned the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi and said, "There is a Jiang Taixu of the Jiang Family from the lower realms who wishes to join the Heavenly Court. You shall make a trip and bestow rewards upon them."

Qin Hao condensed a Heavenly Emperor Decree and handed it to the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi.

Zhenyuanzi was also somewhat excited; in fact, after he joined the Heavenly Court.

Old Ancestor Minghe had already told him that the current Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court that rules over the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

Zhenyuanzi was very shocked at the time, but he felt that since he had just joined the Heavenly Court, he had not yet gained the trust of the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, he feared that within a short period, he would not be able to come into contact with the core of the Heavenly Court, which is to say, other worlds.

Yet he did not expect that as soon as he joined the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor would entrust him with such an important task.

Zhenyuanzi could not help but feel moved, thinking that a scholar dies for one who appreciates him; in reality, this was entirely Zhenyuanzi overthinking it.

Zhenyuanzi held the Heavenly Emperor Decree and then descended into the Zhetian Shijie.

The twenty-six Dark Supremes who were in the middle of a siege all had expressions of unprecedented shock on their faces at this very moment.

They felt a heavy pressure; this pressure came from the oppression of a more perfect life form.

Is this the oppression coming from a True Immortal?

Could it be that Jiang Taixu has actually summoned an immortal to descend?

Zhenyuanzi paid no attention to these Darkness Supremes; he spoke, "Where is Jiang Taixu of the Jiang Family?"

"Jiang Taixu pays respects to the Heavenly Court Envoy."

Jiang Taixu stepped out and said with a cupped-hand salute.

Zhenyuanzi looked at Jiang Taixu, and he saw the Yellow Bell Plum within Jiang Taixu's body.

He said in surprise, "You are indeed one with profound Creation."

To have actually obtained the Yellow Bell Plum from the Primordial World, even if you have not fully digested it and have wasted much of its medicinal power.

Zhenyuanzi brought out the Heavenly Emperor Decree to proclaim it to heaven and earth.

"Today, Jiang Taixu of the lower realm leads the Jiang Family to join the Heavenly Court; as they shall serve as an example, I shall bestow rewards."

"Bestow upon Jiang Taixu the cultivation of an Immortal King, and bestow upon the people of the Jiang Family the cultivation of a Great Emperor."

"Bestow upon the Jiang Family three Ginseng Fruits, one scroll of cultivation technique, and one volume of divine abilities."

The Heavenly Emperor Decree radiated immeasurable brilliance; the aura of the people of the Jiang Family rose step by step, and then every single member of the Jiang Family attained the realm of Great Emperor.

And Jiang Taixu likewise ascended from Great Emperor to become an Immortal King Giant.

In just a single instant, it was like enlightening the world, turning decay into magic.

The twenty-six Darkness Supremes present were all stunned.

Is this real? Or is it fake?

One must know that even though they possessed peerless talent, they had put in so much effort along the way to cultivate to the Great Emperor realm.

Yet now, just because of a single Heavenly Emperor Decree, the entire Jiang Family was transformed into Great Emperors; where in the hell is there any reason in this?

If this is real, it is simply mocking them, these those who have attained the Dao.

Their hard work and cultivation over many years cannot compare to the other party's blessing.

"Heavenly Emperor? Is it Di Zun? Does Di Zun have such ability?"

"Fake, it must be fake; how could Di Zun have such ability?"

They admitted that Di Zun's strength was extremely powerful, supreme among emperors.

But no matter how formidable Di Zun is, even if one were to say Di Zun has already attained the status of an Immortal.

It is impossible for Di Zun to casually enlighten an entire clan like the Jiang Family into Great Emperors, right?

And Jiang Taixu's current realm, Immortal King, what kind of realm is that?

Is it above Great Emperor?

Unfortunately, no one was there to answer their doubts.

The people of the Jiang Family were directly struck into a daze by the Creation; they knew best themselves that they had truly become Emperors.

Since ancient times, for countless people, the Great Emperor realm was difficult to climb, yet they had ascended to it in an instant.

A pie really did fall from the sky.
