Chapter 226: Gai Jiuyou Returns

Dongfang Taiyi slowly explained the Taiyin True Scripture and the Sun True Scripture; his voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to everyone's ears.

These two ancient scriptures have been in the Human Race for a million years, but this does not mean these two ancient scriptures have any flaws.

Classic things, even after the longest passage of time, will still make people feel genuinely shocked.

Just like the Mythological Era, which is even further away from the present, yet the Nine Secrets passed down from the Mythological Era are still earth-shattering and unrivaled, the most supreme divine arts and techniques under heaven.

The ancient scriptures echoed in the space around the Dragon Transformation Pool, and even Zhang Xuan listened very carefully.

Because after Dongfang Taiyi finished explaining the two most primitive scriptures, he began to recount the key points of his own cultivation.

He cultivated all the way from the weakest stage to the peak of the Great Saint, and he had insights during every single process.

How to balance Taiyin Saint Power and Sun Saint Power—he explained it very thoroughly and straightforwardly; such experience is extremely precious to everyone present.

After all, Dongfang Taiyi is a figure who lived a million years ago; his experiences from a million years ago are an unimaginably precious treasure to everyone in the current Cultivation World.

Just like the cultivation experiences of Ye Fan and the others in the technological era of Earth, they are also unspeakable gems to many figures in the Cultivation World.

Zhang Xuan listened earnestly, and while at it, uploaded the Taiyin True Scripture and the Sun True Scripture to the Chat Group's Group File.

This caused another round of exclamations from Meng Qi and the others in the Chat Group, as these were, after all, two of the most powerful Great Emperor scriptures.

In fact, for some time now, they had all fallen into a state of frantic shock, because Zhang Xuan had reached the Tier 5 level not long ago, becoming the person with the highest cultivation strength and realm in the Chat Group besides Qingdi.

The Chat Group was full of "666" for the big boss, but Zhang Xuan did not pay much attention to the Chat Group, instead listening earnestly to Dongfang Taiyi explain his cultivation experience.

Zhang Xuan's cultivation time was too short; what he lacked most was this kind of ancient and long-drawn-out cultivation experience, and every time he heard him recount it, different ripples and situations would arise in his heart.

Discussing the Dao with a group of people gave Zhang Xuan many insights, to the point that he often felt his own comprehension was extremely poor.

Because every figure present had terrifyingly high talent and aptitude.

The talent and comprehension of God King Jiang Taixu, the Cai Family Great Saint, and Old Madman in cultivation were truly shocking to the past and present, not inferior to young Great Emperors of the same period; Zhang Xuan had to use the wisdom of the Nine-Orifice Stone Man to keep up with their pace.

And even Wei Yi, in terms of talent and aptitude, could not actually be considered poor; back then, he, Old Madman, and the Tianshu Saintess were known as the Tianxuan Three Heroes.

If not for the fact that they wanted to rush into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land at their peak, wanting to become Immortals, and the entire sect died out, leaving them with indelible shadows in their hearts, their future paths would likely have been completely different.

Old Madman had been insane for nearly six thousand years, Wei Yi had also disappeared for six thousand years, and the Tianshu Saintess had become a Desolate Slave, drifting in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land day and night.

Now that Zhang Xuan had appeared, he gave them interference, causing their future situations to change significantly.

At the very least, Old Madman and Wei Yi already had the mindset to walk out of their psychological shadows and continue moving forward.

The unprecedented catastrophe six thousand years ago caused them great pain; now, hundreds of years later, another opportunity had come, and with a figure like Zhang Xuan leading, along with the Alternative Enlightenment Gai Jiuyou and multiple Quasi-Emperors, they all felt they could give it a try.

What was even more heartening was that there was still a living Great Saint Body in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land who had recovered to a peak state.

With this current configuration, they could slaughter everything wherever they went, slaughtering wildly.

Everyone had extremely strong confidence in their hearts.

Under such circumstances, Wei Yi was very likely to go further than his original level; after all, six thousand years ago he was a figure who could be ranked alongside Old Madman, and now that he had regained his confidence and continued to move forward, it would not be an incredible thing.

Therefore, under such circumstances of discussing the Dao, a very strange thing happened: Dongfang Taiyi, a figure standing at the peak of the Great Saint Realm, was even able to converse and deliberate on equal terms with the many figures present.

They discussed the pros and cons of the Taiyin True Scripture and the Sun True Scripture with each other; at every moment, countless sparks of inspiration collided—this was not a trial of true combat, but a collision regarding Dao practice and the understanding of the Great Dao.

Exchanging views in this aspect was completely not inferior to a life-and-death battle at the most peak state, and perhaps even exceeded it.

Everyone gained a lot of insights, and Zhang Xuan, with the wisdom of the Nine-Orifice Stone Man, was not at a disadvantage at all in such a discussion.

A single Nine-Orifice Stone Man, a natural Saint Spirit, could naturally be invincible among those of the same realm and was not inferior to an ordinary Great Emperor; although there would of course be a slight gap with a true Ancient Great Emperor—a gap that was sometimes the difference between heaven and earth—in terms of pure comprehension and talent, there was actually no lack.

Coupled with Zhang Xuan's own ordinary wisdom, although it did not reach the effect of one plus one equals two, at least it had a certain boost, and in the discussion with the many figures present, he did not appear to be at a disadvantage.

Cultivation is just that simple, direct, and pure.

Both of the most primitive scriptures led directly to the Great Dao of heaven and earth, and the group gained many insights; this discussion lasted for more than a month.

It was not until Gai Jiuyou returned from the starry sky of the Universe with the Hengyu Furnace and the refined Nine-Turn Zuiqiang Xuemai Jinhuaye that the group was still in the midst of discussing and comprehending the Dao, with everyone having many insights.

In this area of the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Great Dao of heaven and earth was actually condensing, as if ancient sages and Ancient Great Emperors were preaching and reciting scriptures.

And during the process of preaching, Dongfang Taiyi had fallen into a state of demonic obsession many times, his eyes fixed on God King Jiang Taixu, then staring at Old Madman while drooling crazily, and even gulping at Zhang Xuan.

After being discovered, the few of them decisively used the Void Mirror and Qingdi's Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon to suppress Dongfang Taiyi, and when Dongfang Taiyi returned to normal, he continued to preach.

It could be said that this lecture was frantically testing on the edge of death; Dongfang Taiyi clearly had many insights in the later stages, and even the Cai Family Great Saint was surprised and shocked, feeling that even when he tried to suppress him, he felt he could not hold him down.

When Gai Jiuyou returned, the Cai Family Great Saint let out a long sigh of relief.

Gai Jiuyou looked around, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"How long has it been, and the team has grown again?"

He first turned his gaze to Old Madman, then fixed his eyes on Dongfang Taiyi, a look of interest appearing on his face.

Dongfang Taiyi was just about to fall into a state of demonic obsession, already starting to stare at Zhang Xuan and Jiang Taixu while drooling, muttering in his mouth.

"Cultivating the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and swallowing many powerful unique physiques—I have never tasted that before!"

"A Saint King originating from the Great Emperor bloodline and also possessing the God King Body—I wonder what kind of taste that is."

Then his gaze swept over and he saw Gai Jiuyou, and his body trembled suddenly.

The white Bone stick that had been hanging at his waist was taken into his hand and began to glow.

But before it could exert any effect, a wisp of Great Emperor Qi permeated and suppressed everything; the gap between a Quasi-Emperor and a Great Saint was unimaginably large.

Even so, Dongfang Taiyi's body shook, and at the same time, he flowed with Sun Saint Power and Taiyin Saint Power to form a strange Taiji circle; those wisps of majesty actually seemed to be on the verge of being broken by him.

"Taiyin True Scripture and Sun True Scripture, truly an extraordinary figure."

Gai Jiuyou sighed, but he was not polite either; a wisp of even more powerful pressure fixed Dongfang Taiyi in place, and then he held a bright red furnace in one hand and placed it in front of everyone.

Inside the furnace, nine-colored divine light shot into the sky, and a rich, fragrant scent gushed out.

Zhang Xuan only smelled a mouthful, and the Five Great Secret Realms in his body glowed simultaneously; even his Sendai was flickering, and he, who had already reached the peak of the Saint four-fold heaven, had signs of breaking through again, and he had to use all his strength to suppress it so as not to let himself step into a higher level.

On the surface of God King Jiang Taixu's body, nine ancient Great Emperor characters emerged, also suppressing himself, not letting himself break through.

As for Wei Yi and Old Madman, who were already trying their best to suppress themselves and not let the Heavenly Tribulation arrive, they also frowned, tightly suppressing themselves.

But even so, every one of them looked at that furnace of divine liquid with very expectant and curious eyes.

After all, this was the most special and legendary liquid in history, the Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Fluid that existed in legends.

Being able to allow one to cross from the peak Great Saint Realm into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, even at the peak period of the Eternal Star Domain, perhaps such Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid is extremely rare.

After all, refining such liquid requires mature Undying Divine Medicine.

Perhaps only in the most peak Mythological Era would someone have such grand resources to do such an extravagant thing.

"Let's give it a try!"

Gai Jiuyou was quite relaxed; he reached out and drew out approximately one portion of the Nine-Turn Bloodline Evolution Liquid.

"The Divine Substance and Undying Divine Medicine are quite abundant; there are likely about five portions of Nine-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid here.

"There is even a portion of the Undying Divine Medicine essence left over that hasn't been completely used up; the Nine Wonders Immortal Tree was dismantled into eighty-one stalks.

"Although it didn't allow all eighty-one stalks of divine medicine to possess the effects of Undying Divine Medicine, combined they are still much more effective than a single stalk of Undying Divine Medicine, and they can continue to be refined.

"If, when the most terrifying Dark Turmoil arrives, we still do not have enough strength to pacify this Dark Turmoil, then let's leave the excess portion of the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid at the Desolate Ancient Family.

"Those two kids from the Jiang Family and Ji Family have great potential; it wouldn't be worth it to die in the Dark Turmoil."

Gai Jiuyou had clearly prepared his words beforehand; although he was facing everyone when he spoke, he was mostly facing Zhang Xuan.

After all, whether it was the Divine Substance, the Undying Divine Medicine, or the formula for refining the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid, they were all provided by Zhang Xuan; the others watching this scene raised no objections, as this matter should naturally be led by Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan nodded and said without hesitation: "Of course, you can't take these things with you when you're born, nor when you die; surely you don't expect me to keep them all?"

After making a small joke, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Dongfang Taiyi and the Cai Family Great Saint.

"Actually, it's not just about the Zuijiang Xuemai Jinghuaye; if the two of you do not have enough strength to protect yourselves before the final Dark Turmoil arrives, it is best to seal yourselves away and not make meaningless sacrifices.

"After all, after we fail, there will definitely still be people who need to avenge us; it wouldn't be worth it to die in vain in that turmoil."

These words were light and calm, but the meaning revealed within them moved the several figures present.

Gai Jiuyou did not let this scene remain sorrowful for too long; he smiled and nodded: "If I find your strength insufficient when the time comes, I will directly attain the Dao and proclaim myself Great Emperor, then suppress all of you. When you break out later, remember to write a biography for me, the shortest-lived Great Emperor in history.

"Perhaps I will directly break into the Immortal Path, become the only person to become an Immortal at the right time and the right place, becoming the only Legend throughout the ages; then I will take you one by one to the Immortal Realm and make you my attendants."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Xuan laughed out loud; he hadn't expected Gai Jiuyou to have such a witty and humorous side. The others followed suit and laughed, though they didn't feel relaxed, all feeling a great deal of pressure in their hearts.

They had spent quite some time with Gai Jiuyou, and they all knew that Gai Jiuyou was a man of unyielding character. Perhaps a Great Emperor who attained the Dao at the right time and the right place could break into the Immortal Path.

But just like Gai Jiuyou's character and nature, a true Human Race Great Emperor would absolutely never abandon everyone when the Human Race was about to face its most terrifying crisis, directly breaking into the Immortal Path and ignoring this world entirely.

The probability of Gai Jiuyou becoming an Immortal was very low; if he didn't have enough helpers later, it was truly possible he would become the shortest-lived Great Emperor in history.

"My Qi and blood are already at their peak, and I have gained enough understanding of the Imperial Dao laws during this time; with the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid, I can directly proceed to break through."

The Cai Family Great Saint spoke first.

Old Madman and Wei Yi also nodded respectively; they could likewise cross into the Great Saint Realm.

Zhang Xuan turned his head to look at Gai Jiuyou and smiled: "Since you've come, let's just do a good deed to the end. You're no stranger to Ziwei Ancient Star, right? Just drag these few directly to Ziwei Ancient Star to undergo their tribulation!

"If they undergo the tribulation directly on Beidou, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch any fish."

With a figure like Gai Jiuyou who had mastered the Secret of 'Word' and reached the level of Alternative Enlightenment, there was no need for many field teleportation arrays to travel through the Universe.

Once the location was determined, Gai Jiuyou could directly tear through space to reach the destination; even using the Secret of 'Word' to travel, he could cross between star domains in a very short time.

"As long as you have a plan."

Gai Jiuyou had no objections, but he did not act directly; instead, he took out two God Light Platforms.

"However, there is no need for me to take them there personally. With the God Light Platforms, they can teleport directly to Ziwei Ancient Star. I have the coordinates and location of Ziwei Ancient Star, so they can go directly."

After finishing, without waiting for Wei Yi, Old Madman, and the Cai Family Great Saint to react, he directly opened the teleportation array for them and handed one God Light Platform to the Cai Family Great Saint.

After they stepped onto the God Light Platform, Gai Jiuyou waved his hand with a smile.

"I'll wait for your return!"
