Chapter 112: Wu Shi Appearing in the World

Beidou Ancient Star.

The Eastern Wasteland's land is vast and boundless, with many Dao lineages.

Among them, the most renowned are those few Great Wilderness Aristocratic Families guarded by Extreme Path Imperial Weapons.

Yaochi Holy Land is one of them.

It is located in the Northern Region of Eastern Wasteland; within the entire Holy Land, mountains and rivers are beautiful, flowers and trees grow in patches with petals falling in profusion, and fresh fragrance assails the nose.

Towering ancient trees are densely distributed, swaying with radiant brilliance, countless splendid scenes.

Misty divine halls hang suspended above mountain cliffs, mist and haze hazy and indistinct, patches of lakes like pearls scattered about, magnificently beautiful, like a fairyland in the human realm!

And besides this being due to the Dao lineage left behind by a generation's female emperor, the Xi Huang Mu.

Throughout history, many later Great Emperors have visited, and most have lectured on the Dao here, leaving behind Emperor's Dao Marks.

Therefore, the entire Holy Land has Purple Qi Comes from the East, auspicious clouds forming auspicious signs, truly a Peerless Luck land.

And above the Firmament, there is also an ancient pagoda faintly visible, rising and sinking, Chaos Qi pervading.

That is the Xi Huang Pagoda, cast from Immortal Tears Green Gold, guarding this entire pure land.

This day.

The ever-silent Xi Huang Pagoda suddenly revived on its own, shaking the entire Yaochi Holy Land!

And the current Xi Huang Mu, who was lecturing on the Dao beneath the Flat Peach Tree, also seemed to receive some divine sound, flew into the sky, and entered the Xi Huang Pagoda.

Next moment.

The Xi Huang Pagoda rushed into the heavens, tore the void, and vanished into that vast Taiyu.

This is an extremely rare scene, causing everyone in Yaochi to be shocked beyond measure!

Because ordinarily, except when generations of Queens Mother of the West activated the Xi Huang Pagoda to repel enemies, this Extreme Path Imperial Weapon rarely revived on its own.

The only few times were when past Great Emperors visited, such as the Holy Emperor of former years, the Void Great Emperor, the Chaos Ancient Emperor, and other supreme existences.

Of course.

In former years when Life Forbidden Zones were restless and Dark Turmoil was about to explode, the Xi Huang Pagoda also once automatically revived, protecting the entire Yaochi Holy Land.

But now, what is going on?

Could it be that the former Dacheng Holy Body suddenly disappeared, so that the current world has no supreme guarding, possibly causing Forbidden Zones to be unstable, so the Xi Huang Pagoda revived on its own?

And why did the Xi Huang Mu also go along, as if receiving some kind of recruitment?

In Yaochi's spiritually beautiful land, a group of graceful female cultivators were all somewhat bewildered, and consequently somewhat panicked.

But not long after.

The Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda and the Xi Huang Mu returned from the starry sky.

And the latter, with her calm and composed expression, and a few calm and simple words, calmed this panicked atmosphere.

Afterwards.

In the Forbidden Ground at the deepest part of Yaochi Holy Land, a small-scale meeting began.

In an ancient hall guarded by layers of Imperial Array Patterns, three peerlessly beautiful, unparalleled women stood, gazing at the enormous Divine Source before them, revealing shocked expressions.

And at the same time, in their eyes there was also doting love, joy to the utmost, as if seeing some extraordinary supreme treasure.

A simple unadorned Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda rose and fell above the Divine Source, and the Divine Source had come out from within its pagoda body.

Obviously.

For so many years, it was the Xi Huang Pagoda that had been guarding this Divine Source with its own body.

The Divine Source flashed with divine radiance; inside was sealed the Xi Huang's youngest son.

The three women before them all possessed peerless grace; one of them was precisely the current Xi Huang Mu, also addressed as Yaochi Saintess.

She had a graceful jade body, tall and elegant, her whole person manifesting a holy and refined temperament.

The other two were precisely her younger martial sisters, also of immortal bearing and jade bones, standing at her side, like peerless immortal herbs blooming in the world.

Next moment.

The three peerlessly beautiful, unparalleled women prostrated themselves in worship toward the Divine Source.

In a certain sense, the young child in the Divine Source was their little ancestor; his seniority was unknown how many generations higher than theirs.

"The Chaos Ancient Emperor has been gone for ten thousand loads, and the current Dacheng Holy Body has also disappeared for many years; now the world has no supreme guarding."

The Xi Huang Mu lightly parted her vermilion lips, speaking to her two younger martial sisters.

The two women also listened quietly, not interjecting, knowing the sect master elder sister still had words to say, especially about the movement not long ago, there must be an explanation.

Sure enough.

The Xi Huang Mu continued slowly.

"Just now, the Imperial Weapon and I received a corner of a seal from the starry sky; the gist is that the world is in turmoil, or there is instability — should I unseal the Great Emperor's left-behind young son... not knowing if it is wrong or right?"

Obviously.

Some words she did not speak clearly, especially who this corner of a seal came from.

But the Xi Huang Pagoda at the side trembled lightly; although it did not transmit a divine sound, it also conveyed a strand of inexplicable Divine Sense.

Only the three peerless beauties present could understand; this was approval of the Xi Huang Mu's words, a kind of support.

The Xi Huang Mu's two younger martial sisters, after hearing, first glanced at each other, then silently pondered for a moment.

"Everything depends entirely on Elder Sister's decision. The Great Emperor once instructed and left behind: if encountering turmoil about to appear, needing the Imperial Son to appear in the world, then the Divine Source's seal may be undone."

The Xi Huang Mu was dignified and holy, her eyes spiritually clear; she gazed at the Divine Source above, unblinking.

The enormous Divine Source emitted a strand of vigorous life force; that was a generation's Yaochi female emperor — the Xi Huang Mu's left-behind youngest son sealed within, always sleeping.

He looked two or three years old, black hair shoulder-length, looking pink and jade-carved; this is the first Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo from ancient times to present!

Finally.

The Xi Huang Mu bowed once more toward the Divine Source, then waved her slender jade hands, operating the secret art left by the Great Emperor Xi Huang.

A moment later, Chaos Qi permeated this place, and bursts of immortal music, like the divine sounds of the Heavenly Dao, rang out beside the ears of the three people.

"Boom—!"

The Divine Source trembled violently, a vast and boundless life Qi mechanism spread out covering sky and earth within Yaochi Holy Land, finally almost rushing straight into the clouds.

This shocking scene was as if the world had nurtured an immortal seed, and now the time had come for him to appear in the world.

The huge Divine Source began to crack open, powerful life Qi mechanism surged out.

Xi Huang Mu gave a soft shout, her jade hand striking out the final strand of divine light, shining upon the Divine Source.

"Bang!"

The Divine Source exploded, endless essence, energy, and spirit brilliance overflowing.

A child of four or five years old stood before the three peerless beauties, auspicious Qi atop his head rushing into the nine heavens; were it not for the Imperial Pagoda's protection, the four seas would surely have trembled.

His black hair hung down, his eyes clear and bright, very much like carved jade; though young, he also possessed a kind of wisdom unbefitting his age.

At the same moment, the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda lowered ten thousand streams of green radiance, covering this vast fluctuation; the outside world knew nothing of it, only the aura of the ancient Great Emperors surged in all directions.

The Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon was stirred into autonomous recovery; one can see that even as a newly born child, Wu Shi possessed this kind of terrifying life fluctuation.

Of course.

More likely it was related to the deity within the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda being excited beyond measure.

On the Eastern Wasteland land, countless powerful divine senses scanned toward Yaochi this direction, perceiving this Extreme Dao Imperial Might.

The Western Desert and Central State likewise had Old Fossil-level existences startled awake.

But all prying divine senses were isolated by the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda.

No one knew what had happened, only roughly guessing that some change had occurred in Yaochi Holy Land.

……

Inside the Holy Cliff Dao Chang in the depths of the starry sky.

Gu Xuan, across the endless starry sky, saw this scene.

Even with layers of Imperial Array Patterns and the Xi Huang Pagoda's protection, they could not block his supreme divine sense at all.

Amidst the swirling Chaos Qi and snow-white hair, one could see Gu Xuan's slightly flowing gaze, within which lay a certain expectation.

At the end of the Immortal Road, who is the peak? One encounter with Wu Shi, and the Dao becomes empty!

……

One must say, Wu Shi's performance is absolutely stunning through the ages.

Since the beginning of his cultivation in childhood, he has been a heaven-defying monstrous existence.

After breaking the seal, at merely twelve years old he had already left Yaochi; the Imperial Son's one day of cultivation equaled others' hundred years, and in just over a decade he had already touched the Immortal Platform Secret Realm.

Several more years passed.

Central Plains Land.

This is a vast and boundless great domain, primordial mountain ranges stretching ten thousand miles, great rivers rushing ceaselessly, forming a uniquely beautiful natural wonder.

Naturally there are also countless Great Teachings, Holy Lands, and numerous national cities, in no way inferior to the Eastern Wasteland.

In a deserted valley with no people, Wu Shi in white clothes is undergoing tribulation.

His white clothes flutter in the wind, rustling, his whole body blooming with brilliant divine light; though only in his teens, he displays a calm and maturity unlike his peers.

"Boom—!"

This is an ocean of lightning, carrying the momentum of destroying heaven and extinguishing earth descending; thunder like a tide, shattering everything.

The ten-thousand-mile great mountains are silent, some spiritual animals have long fled in fright, even this sky seems awed by that boundless heavenly might, oppressive beyond measure.

If someone were to witness this here, they would surely be horrified.

Although this is merely the Immortal Platform Second Heaven tribulation, its might far surpasses the ordinary, absolutely able to split to death a supreme power; no Immortal Platform Second Heaven cultivator can withstand this kind of Heavenly Tribulation.

And the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo at this moment displayed the advantage of its constitution.

Body and Dao merged, upright and auspicious, almost making the Heaven and Earth Great Dao serve its use.

And the physical body let that world-destroying divine thunder strike upon it, yet not a shred of damage, and the Primordial Spirit sat steadily atop the Immortal Platform, accepting heaven's baptism!

"Boom!"

Another divine thunder giant sound, nearly piercing eardrums, shattering souls.

Endless lightning bolts hacked down, like the nine heavens' Silver River pouring down, the void pierced through, ten thousand daos of divine thunder carrying the might to exterminate all, all striking upon Wu Shi's body!

One bolt, two bolts... endless thunderclouds gathered into sheets, like the Milky Way's waters unceasing.

The Heavens were covered by sky-full divine thunder, all descending; countless great mountains within range turned to flying ash, terrifying to the extreme.

And Wu Shi, in the center of the thunder tribulation, sat cross-legged in the void, unexpectedly using the thunderclouds to temper his body; crackling sounds unceasing, yet unable to harm his physical body in the slightest.

That white-clothed figure in the thunder tribulation seemed to have become eternal, a clear whistle transmitted, bearing a "only I am supreme" aura shaking the sky.

Finally.

Wu Shi formed a hand seal, his left hand's domineering divine power terrifying and boundless, his right hand's auspicious Qi vast and far-reaching, two completely different divine powers converging in one place, striking straight at the very center of the thunder tribulation.

"None!"

After the giant sound, Wu Shi's white clothes unstained by a single strand of dust, the sky-full thunderclouds, the terrifying great calamity were actually all absorbed completely by him.

This is a terrifying way of crossing tribulation.

Since ancient times, countless cultivators have exhausted all methods and secret techniques just to peacefully cross the thunder tribulation; most avoid its edge, only using surplus strength to draw lightning to temper their bodies.

But Wu Shi goes against heaven, crossing in this way ordinary people can hardly imagine.

The tribulation waves scattered completely, Wu Shi truly stepped into the ranks of supreme powers; every raise of hand and move of foot already displayed endless Dao Rhyme.

A supreme power under twenty years old; if others knew, they would surely be dumbfounded, truly inconceivable!

Afterwards, he walked out of the Ancient Desolate, continuing to seek the Dao in the Red Dust.

In this current world, talents and heroes emerge in droves, various King Bodies abound.

Among them, the most outstanding included the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body Feng Qi, the Northern Region Aristocratic Family Li Shi, the Central State Twin Kings, the Dark Demon Body, the Feathering Body, the Light Body, and countless other experts.

The Eastern Wasteland Divine Body Feng Qi, in his youth, fought all the great enemies of the Eastern Wasteland and never suffered a single defeat.

The Northern Region Aristocratic Family Li Shi, in his cultivation to this day, has yet to meet a match.

The Central State Twin Kings, the two merging as one, joining forces against enemies, are renowned as invincible in a domain.

The Feathering Body, the Dark Demon Body, the Light Body, and so on also each carved out brilliant fame; every single one can be called a peerless monstrous genius encountered only once in tens of thousands of years.

And after Wu Shi appeared in the world, he naturally crossed paths with the people among them.

The current him has already stepped into the fourth minor step of the second heaven of the Immortal Platform, yet his combat power is comparable to a King Who Severed the Dao.

In the Southern Region of Central State, he encountered the Dark Demon Body.

In no more than three moves, the Dark Demon Body who reigned supreme in one region was defeated by him.

In this battle, Wu Shi displayed terrifying strength, truly overbearing and without equal, and his battle achievements also shook the myriad domains.

Because the Dark Demon Body and the Light Body had both previously fought great battles of thousands of rounds without a victor, they were truly a generation's Heaven's Pride.

However, such a monstrous figure could not survive three moves in Wu Shi's hands.

And the others, including Feng Qi, Li Shi, the Central State Twin Kings, and so on, successively each sought opportunities to duel Wu Shi, yet all were easily suppressed; the so-called Peerless Heavenly Prodigies all became mere background.

Even though their previous lives were brilliant and dazzling, they were destined to only become green leaves, only serving to set off Wu Shi as even more peerlessly stunning.

This makes one helpless, yet it is also an objective fact.

Time passes leisurely.

Another decades passed, Wu Shi had already become a Saint; this speed simply makes one click one's tongue in amazement, surpassing all geniuses of ancient and modern times.

Regarding the road ahead, he began to have loftier considerations.

"Our child, if unable to become an Immortal, can also reestablish the Tian Ting, and preside over the rise and fall of Heaven and Earth!"

These are the words left by his father, a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, entrusting his expectations and pride for him.

These words, conveyed to him in the form of imprints by the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon Xi Huang Pagoda left by his mother, moved him.

And in fact, the ancient texts of Yaochi Holy Land also record in detail the many past events of his parents.

In those years at Yaochi, Wu Shi had repeatedly pored over those records of his parents, and also repeatedly gazed at those imprints manifested by the Xi Huang Pagoda.

This is his way of reminiscing about his parents.

"Desiring to revive both parents……"

In a secret realm of Yaochi, he engraved divine pattern imprints, leaving behind these words, and later after becoming an Emperor he even strengthened the divine patterns with his Emperor Dao cultivation, making them eternal and undying through the ages.

This is absolutely a heaven-defying wish, for the Xi Huang himself is a Great Emperor, and has already perished for one to two hundred thousand years; how could it be accomplished?

Perhaps it is merely a kind of hope, it can also be called a kind of obsession.

Although he is a generation's Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo, peerlessly stunning in ancient and modern times, he also has sorrow unseen by others……

Those able to witness this scene are merely the current Xi Huang Mu and an extremely few others, who sigh and shed tears for it.

Finally.

After a round of consideration, Wu Shi made a decision.

He decided not to establish the Tian Ting, but rather to alone venture the Immortal Road, questioning the most absolute peak.

The Immortal Road is vast and boundless; he wants to walk step by step to that higher and farther place, only to be able to find a sliver of opportunity to revive his parents!

This day.

Wu Shi bid farewell to Yaochi once more, passed through the Oddities Mansion, and ascended the Trial Path of the Star Sky Ancient Road.

In the universe starry sky, it is like eternal darkness.

Wu Shi traversed the star universe, passed through countless stars, among them were life source stars, and also desolate stars barren and uninhabited.

There were also many stars that all left a deep impression on him.

Once green mountains were verdant, now desolate ridges echo with ghost wails; how much prosperity has become fleeting clouds and smoke, how much love and hate are buried in broken tiles and ruined walls……

But in fact, Wu Shi also left impressions on myriad life star domains that are fully capable of shaking the myriad ages and remaining undying!
