Chapter 249: Capturing the Godly Thought of the Undying Emperor

"It really has to be you!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and marvel as he watched this scene; he had thought of countless ways to attract hatred, but none were as natural as the actions of the old man Dongfang Taiyi.

There was no need for excessive movement or speech; the mere act of old man Dongfang Taiyi doing this was enough to max out his ability to attract hatred.

Before Zhang Xuan could look for long, he saw another Great Saint below soar into the sky, carrying an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, and charge into the starry sky of the Universe, flashing with endless light.

And in the process, he shouted directly: "You bully my Ancient Myriad Tribes too much! Do you think my Ancient Myriad Tribes have no one?"

Old man Dongfang Taiyi was not flustered at all; he pointed a finger at the Great Saint he had just killed, and the body continuously shrank, turning into an object like an ornament that he hung at his waist, showing it off like a trophy, full of the aura of the ancient, wild era.

Then, old man Dongfang Taiyi held the Green Copper Tripod in his hand and confronted this Great Saint once again.

Seeing such a scene, Gai Jiuyou did not say much; he merely flicked his finger, and the Hengyu Furnace in his hand silently tore through the void and landed in an area hidden outside the battlefield.

At the same time, from Gai Jiuyou's body, a strand of Essence walked out—it should have been a Godly Thought belonging to the Dao Palace Realm—and after its aura shifted for a moment, it reached the level of the Great Saint Realm and likewise flew into that area, hiding in the void.

The Saint Body did not perform such an action; he just watched silently. With a figure like Gai Jiuyou taking action, there was actually no need for others to suppress the situation; Gai Jiuyou alone could sweep across the world.

On the other hand, the Saint Body's physical body was perfect and flawless, already counting as having stepped into the Great Emperor realm; when he truly reached completion, the Godly Thoughts within his Dao Palace all merged into his body, turning into pure Essence.

The Saint Body could not even separate a God from his Dao Palace if he wanted to.

Seeing that these two were already focused on that piece of heaven and earth, Zhang Xuan basically put no energy into it.

Instead, he began to think about how to go fishing.

"We can say that everything is ready on our side, only lacking the east wind; we just need to fish bit by bit."

"Regarding the Undying Emperor, there are many traces left behind by him in the Forbidden Zone; we can start from that aspect for now."

"First, let the many Ancient Creatures understand that an Undying Emperor truly exists, and then subsequently disclose more information about the Undying Emperor bit by bit."

"You know even more information about the Undying Emperor?"

The Saint Body was surprised and inquired carefully.

Zhang Xuan faced him with a smile; at such a moment, he never needed to be very indifferent—being omniscient and omnipotent is just that awesome.

"Of course, this is not too big of a problem for me. If I remember correctly, there is a Godly Thought of the Undying Emperor in that piece of heaven and earth where the Central Plains Qishi Mansion is located; we can go and catch him."

"Hmm, there is a Godly Thought of the Undying Emperor?"

Gai Jiuyou, who had been watching that battlefield all along, turned his head, feeling somewhat curious.

"Of course, not only is there the Undying Emperor's Godly Thought, but even the Undying Emperor's skin is there; he once underwent a round of transformation in that area."

"Let's first control that area, get the Undying Emperor's Godly Thought in our hands, and if possible, try our best to ask for the Undying Emperor's Godly Spirit Ancient Scripture, then use that as bait to lure the figures in the Forbidden Zone out bit by bit."

The Saint Body nodded, approving of this plan.

"If this thing truly exists, the whole plan can indeed be carried out, but there are some problems within it."

Every Godly Thought possesses all the memories of its main body, but it is full of evil thoughts, and therefore it will do things like slaughtering all living beings.

"With the Undying Emperor's insight, even if we catch his Godly Thought, it will be very difficult to obtain the scripture from him."

Gai Jiuyou also nodded in agreement from the side; having reached their realm and level, they had a deep understanding of the most mysterious substances between heaven and earth.

No object was a secret before them; even the most magical Godly Thought in the world was something whose most special secrets they had mastered.

"There's no need to worry too much about this aspect; if I can't beat the old one, can't I beat the young one?"

Zhang Xuan smiled brightly and took a Stone Egg out of his Shenheng Purple Gold Pagoda; Gai Jiuyou and the Saint Body were both stunned, then laughed out loud at the same time.

But the Saint Body was still slightly hesitant and shook his head, saying: "I don't think there's any problem with dealing with the Undying Emperor and the Undying Emperor's Godly Thought—after all, he is also the most supreme powerhouse since ancient times—but bullying the Undying Emperor's descendant, and an egg that hasn't even been born yet, is a bit excessive."

Seemingly to show agreement, the Stone Egg in Zhang Xuan's hand jumped twice, and vaguely, it seemed as if the sound of someone crying with joy could be heard from within the Stone Egg.

Tianhuangzi was sighing, feeling fortunate, and cheering that the figure before him had moral character.

As a result, before the joyful mood had fully blossomed, Zhang Xuan slapped the Stone Egg without any courtesy: "Since that's the case, then I'll just swallow the Stone Egg. The creator of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art presumably hasn't eaten the Origin of the Undying Emperor; being able to obtain the Origin of the Undying Emperor's direct descendant, I imagine it is also very special."

"Maybe it can make my cultivation art advance by leaps and bounds."

The Stone Egg trembled violently, as if a sound of shattering came from within, and all emotions vanished in an instant.

And Zhang Xuan didn't even wait for Gai Jiuyou and the Saint Body to refuse, directly laughing: "You are not of the same generation as him, but I am truly a person of the same generation as him; I am not bullying the small with the big."

"In terms of cultivation years, I have only been cultivating for two years; in terms of talent and background, he is the descendant of the Undying Emperor, and he hasn't even been born yet, but his strength and realm are already very terrifying."

"Spending a year or two, he might be able to charge into the Immortal Platform Realm."

"And me? I haven't been on the path of cultivation for long; all the way through, I have relied on my own efforts. It can be said that I rely entirely on myself; I have no status, no background, and no backing."

"I am hitting him; I think it is reasonable and fair."

The Stone Egg in front of him almost wanted to beg for mercy, but it dared not speak, because a Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal had truly condensed above Zhang Xuan's head.

Before it could beg for mercy, Zhang Xuan's tone directly shifted: "However, such a special bloodline, suspected to be a pure-blooded phoenix originating from the Immortal Domain, would be too much of a pity to just swallow with the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art."

"And he also has a complete Godly Spirit Ancient Scripture of the Undying Emperor's inheritance on him; it would be too wasteful to just use it up. Let's see, I'll see if he is cooperative; if he is willing to cooperate with me, I will consider it."

Gai Jiuyou and the Saint Body still shook their heads; even the Saint Body asked a very special question.

"The Undying Emperor has always lived in this heaven and earth, so is he in the Forbidden Zone? Did he start the Dark Turmoil?"

Zhang Xuan knew what the Saint Body had hidden behind this and not said.

The Supremes in the Forbidden Zone can have no morals, no character, and can constantly start Dark Turmoil, treating all living beings as straw dogs, slaughtering the heaven and earth's living beings at will.

But figures like them, who have always lived between heaven and earth and insisted on not starting Dark Turmoil, cannot do such things.

They have their own persistence and their own moral principles in their hearts.

Zhang Xuan felt he did not have such noble character, but he respected such figures; it is precisely because of the persistence of one Human Race Great Emperor after another, and one figure after another who is different and does not go along with the corrupt, that the world appears so beautiful.

Even if there are waves of Dark Turmoil, everyone is full of confidence in the future, because there will always be the most pure and sacred light blooming in the Darkness; the Saint Body is one such light.

If the Undying Emperor were a Supreme hidden in the Forbidden Zone, surviving by constantly starting Dark Turmoil and slaughtering living beings, then there would be no need to speak of any moral principles when dealing with the Undying Emperor's descendant; one could just take action.

But if not, the Saint Body would not approve; and it was not just the Saint Body—when Zhang Xuan looked over, he found that Gai Jiuyou also had a solemn expression, seemingly in deep thought.

The two strongest figures between heaven and earth did not approve of going to learn the Undying Emperor's scriptures in advance or using the Undying Emperor's descendant as a means; Zhang Xuan, however, only smiled lightly when he saw this.

"If it's about starting Dark Turmoil, the Undying Emperor indeed has not done such a thing..."

Zhang Xuan paused here, and seeing that the Saint Body was about to speak, he took the initiative to interrupt the spellcasting in advance: "I understand what you mean; since that is the case, then let's put this topic aside for now."

"I will not obtain the Godly Spirit Ancient Scripture from the descendants of the Undying Emperor; I will first go to the Central Plains to capture the Godly Thought of the Undying Emperor, and at the same time, learn about the life of the Undying Emperor from the skin he left behind after his transformation."

Zhang Xuan still had great confidence in all of this, because the Undying Emperor himself was truly not clean at all, and was even extremely filthy.

After all, the Undying Emperor had been able to live from the Mythological Era until the present day; it is true that he did not take up residence in a Forbidden Zone, nor did he incite a Dark Turmoil, but the things the Undying Emperor did were even more disgusting than those.

He would suddenly launch a sneak attack while a Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor was in the final stages of their life.

He would ambush an Ancient Emperor or Great Emperor who was over ten thousand years old, then plunder the vital blood within their bodies, while simultaneously taking away the Heavenly Heart Imprint, the greatest realization of their entire lives.

Then, on such a foundation, he would continuously undergo Nirvana with the help of the vital blood and flesh of a hundred emperors and Great Emperors, surviving in the world all the while.

The things he did were disgusting to the extreme, but those who did not understand the inside story had no idea that the Undying Emperor had once done these things.

Because as a pioneer on the path of the Great Emperor, the Undying Emperor clearly knew what state an Ancient Emperor or Great Emperor would be in during the final stages of their life.

Moreover, the timing of his strikes was always chosen very cleverly; either these Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors were struggling hard on the Immortal Path, or he would launch a fierce sneak attack while they were in seclusion.

He was already strong enough himself, and coupled with being well-prepared and the sneak attack, he could basically succeed every time, rarely revealing his tracks.

The Undying Emperor that Zhang Xuan had an impression of had once ambushed the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang, and the founder of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Central Plains, Tai Huang, was also ambushed by the Undying Emperor in his later years.

Upon entering the Immortal Path, at his most vulnerable moment, his physical body was shattered directly by the Undying Emperor, leaving behind only a strand of inextinguishable vital blood in that piece of heaven and earth, recording that past event.

It is a pity that to understand such past events clearly, one's own strength and realm must also be extraordinary and refined.

Without reaching the level of Alternative Enlightenment or a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, there is no way to learn the most terrifying secret in this world from it.

Once the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou learn about these circumstances regarding the Undying Emperor later on, they will likely be even more decisive than Zhang Xuan when they take action.

It is not impossible that in their anger, they might slap the Stone Egg into pieces.

"How did you agree so easily? And I always feel your smile is very strange."

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body felt a bit strange, but Zhang Xuan just smiled without saying a word.

Gai Jiuyou's brows rose slightly; he had been in contact with Zhang Xuan for quite some time and knew clearly that when Zhang Xuan revealed such a smile and did not take the initiative to argue, it did not mean Zhang Xuan was wrong—it was very likely that they were the ones who were wrong.

It was just that things had not developed to that point yet, and Zhang Xuan did not state it directly.

"What is hidden in this?"

"If I tell you the answer directly, it would be too boring. It is better to explore it together. With your strength and realm, what you learn will ultimately not be fake. When that time comes, you can change your minds and continue this topic."

Zhang Xuan did not say much more.

It is meaningless to just say with empty words that the Undying Emperor committed many evil deeds; it is better to let the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou learn it for themselves.

"The dust has settled; another Great Saint has been killed. In the short term, there should be no one else coming out from the Ancient Myriad Tribes."

At this moment, Gai Jiuyou suddenly spoke, and the battle in the starry sky of the Universe had once again come to an end.

A bone club struck down, and blood splashed high; the outcome was not much different from the previous Great Saint.

However, this time, the state of Dongfang Taiyi seemed poor as well; there was blood splashing from his body, also flying very high, but the old man did not care at all, and two rays of light shot out from his eyes, appearing very excited.

There were six Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons confronting each other in the starry sky of the Universe, and after several rounds of collisions in the galaxy, Dongfang Taiyi finally became slightly more sober at this moment.

Then, under Zhang Xuan's gaze, his body shook violently, and a crack spread from within his body, from the Wheel Sea to the Dao Palace, then the Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and all the way to the Immortal Platform.

Zhang Xuan could clearly hear many figures of the Ancient Myriad Tribes cheering, and an extremely terrifying aura was reviving in that area, sweeping across the heavens and earth; it seemed another Great Saint-level figure was about to take action.

But the old man Dongfang Taiyi went against his previous wild posture, put away the Green Copper Tripod in his hand, and struck hard against the void, smashing open a black hole, then turned and plunged into it, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

And not long after he disappeared, a figure with a very terrifying aura stood in the void, holding an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon in their hand, and likewise followed him, plunging into the void.

Zhang Xuan's brows jumped, and he looked at Gai Jiuyou, only to see that there was not a trace of worry on Gai Jiuyou's face; he just shook his head lightly.

"He is not injured; that is a disguise, a very peculiar secret technique."
