Chapter 113: Wu Shi and Di Li Si

The vast universe, eternal and boundless, dark and limitless.

All kinds of stars emerge endlessly, each a different world, with all manner of powerful races, and also the human race.

Therefore, the world has the saying of the Heavens and Worlds or three thousand Great Worlds.

Of course.

The so-called "ten thousand" and "three thousand" are naturally vague references.

The whole Great Universe is so vast and boundless; just on the human race's Star Sky Ancient Road, there are countless Life Source Stars.

This day.

Wu Shi crossed the void and arrived at a medium-sized Life Star Domain.

Here the Great Dao is heavily suppressed, Spiritual Qi does not manifest, far from comparable to the Beidou Star Domain, Ziwei Star Domain, and the like.

This is naturally very unfriendly to the cultivators within; even a Saint is hard to find, as if cursed by some kind of curse.

As for the reason, it is actually also very clear.

Nearly a hundred thousand years ago, this Life Star Domain produced the first Quasi-Emperor in its history!

This is absolutely a remarkable major event in this not-so-large star domain!

Even as just a Quasi-Emperor, he was tainted with a strand of Emperor Dao aura, able to be called Venerable across several hundred surrounding star domains.

However.

The Emperor Road is full of dry bones; this Quasi-Emperor met with an accident while impacting a higher realm, and ultimately sat in meditation and passed away in a desperate manner.

Consequently, the star domain of his origin was also affected, as if its Luck was exhausted, or as if it had been shackled, leading to the current situation.

But.

This kind of Great Dao not manifesting situation, for Wu Shi, does not count for much.

And for the current him; what is needed is precisely this kind of environment, which can better help him deepen his cultivation foundation.

He entered an Ancient Star; what met the eye was mostly wilderness, Ancient Beasts numerous, towering ancient trees covering the sky and blocking the sun, a River falling from high mountains, resembling the Galaxy falling nine heavens.

Just as he descended to the Ground.

"Ah..."

A shrill miserable scream came from the distance, very abrupt.

Wu Shi looked in the direction of the sound, only to see an old woman cut in half alive by a giant Centipede, bright red blood scattering on the earth, only her Primordial Spirit escaping in panic from this place.

That old woman was only at the Immortal Platform Realm; in this place she was already a rare expert.

But unfortunately that Centipede had already achieved Dao Severing long ago, King Realm aura pervading the wilderness, choosing people to devour.

Wu Shi gave a light shout, Saint Might pervading, all living beings within tens of thousands of li around trembled in fright; one must know on this Ancient Star a King Who Severed the Dao is already a remarkable existence.

Obviously.

An existence like Wu Shi, for the Dao Severing Centipede, was no different from a "Divine Spirit" descending.

It had long been scared out of its wits, no longer caring to pursue the old woman's Primordial Spirit, but fleeing for its life with all its might; alas the Saint Might was surging, no matter how desperately it fled it could not escape...

Wu Shi frowned slightly, ignoring the immobilized Centipede.

At this time the old woman's Primordial Spirit, though not touched by that surging Saint Might, had severe injuries; Wu Shi withdrew his Saint Might, crossed out a strand of peaceful divine light, healing the injuries the old woman's Primordial Spirit had suffered.

Before long, the old woman grew a new body, bowed to Wu Shi, thanking him for his Great Grace!

This was a rather Righteous old woman; due to just experiencing a Life and Death Tribulation, she still had Lingering Fear.

Wu Shi dispersed a strand of Saint Might to stop her prostrating in thanks; his Divine Halo surrounded his body, Outsiders fundamentally could not see through, only able to perceive the Peerless Heroic Bearing and Unparalleled Demeanor beneath a suit of White Clothes.

He asked in a Clear Voice: "Senior, why were you pursued and killed by this King Realm Centipede?"

The old woman heard this, her face changing repeatedly; after a moment's thought she sighed: "Not hiding it from Benefactor, this Savage Beast wants to snatch my Imperial Dynasty's Princess!"

Then, she moved her hands; with a fluctuation transmitting out.

From the underground not far away, a Flying Shuttle over a zhang long broke through the soil, arriving before the two people in an instant.

Inside the Flying Shuttle lay a girl of Peerless Appearance, spiritually beautiful beyond compare, merely in a coma.

The next moment.

The old woman crossed out Dao power again, awakening the girl; the latter had just awakened, somewhat bewildered, but still subconsciously stood beside the old woman, as if to fight shoulder to shoulder.

"Believe 'Senior' you have also perceived, our Ancient Star's Great Dao is heavily suppressed, cultivating to the Immortal Platform Realm is already remarkable; who would have thought this Savage Beast, with what Immortal Fate, actually achieved Dao Severing success; this old body will fight to the death and not let my clan's Princess be snatched by it!"

This was the old woman's words.

Wu Shi's age is naturally far younger than him; the old woman addressing him as "Senior" seems somewhat unusual.

But on the cultivation path, strength is respected, also normal.

And Wu Shi naturally would not listen to One-sided Statement; having reached his current realm, many Secret Techniques are Naturally Formed, obtainable with a skillful hand.

He crossed out Divine Rules, searched the Centipede's sea of consciousness; indeed it was not much different from what the old woman said.

That girl is named Di Li Si, the Crown Princess of the Most Prosperous Dynasty on the Ancient Star, Outstanding Talent, Peerless Appearance, on this Ancient Star can be called Outstanding.

And the old Centipede in its Early Years obtained a Dual Cultivation Evil Scripture; in this Great Dao Suppressed environment, it actually used this to cultivate for Thousands of Years and became a King Who Severed the Dao.

After Di Li Si became Famous, it Targeted her, wanting to take her as its Hundredth Dao Companion.

Of course.

For it, this so-called "Dao Companion" is actually a Cauldron Furnace with controlled mind.

Besides Serving in Bed, the final destination is still to offer up all cultivation.

The old Centipede being able to cultivate to the Dao Severing realm has a great relationship with the Ninety-nine Cauldrons it captured before.

This time, Di Li Si Secretly Traveled on Patrol, seeking Advancement Opportunity.

And the old Centipede over the Years painstakingly planned, already Set Up Array Secret Spies in the Imperial City, finally spying this opportunity, Acting to Ambush on the way.

Its nature Vicious, actions Cruel, yet extremely Decisive; strength on this Ancient Star can be called Hard to Find Opponent.

Over the Years, all Cauldrons it Targeted, Almost None Escaped.

As Di Li Si's close bodyguard, the old woman was already a rare expert on the Ancient Star, yet she could not withstand even a few moves before it.

Ultimately.

At the critical moment, she detonated a forbidden artifact, temporarily disturbing the old centipede's spiritual sense.

Then, using a flying shuttle treasure to protect Di Li Si, she secretly hid in the underground depths, while she herself lured away the old centipede.

In fact.

Doing so could only temporarily delay for a moment.

For the old centipede's next step would be to imprison her Primordial Spirit, forcefully search her Sea of Consciousness; sooner or later it would find the flying shuttle's direction where Di Li Si was hidden.

Over these years.

Of those cauldron furnaces it strongly plundered, some had processes even more difficult than this one, yet all were still obtained by it.

Only pity, this time it encountered Wu Shi who came here for tempering...

Having investigated the complete story, Wu Shi's brows slightly frowned.

Originally speaking, he also merely occasionally passed by this place, wholeheartedly cultivating his heart and asking the Dao, rarely meddling in those complicated disputes.

But this time was different.

The old centipede's actions had clearly already injured heavenly harmony, creating much karma.

And although this Ancient Star belonged to the Human Race Trial Path, it could be considered quite remote; ordinary cultivators coming for trials rarely arrived.

Had he not come this time, the old woman would inevitably have been unable to survive, and Di Li Si's fate would also inevitably have been tragic.

So be it!

He pointed a finger down, Saint Might permeating.

Along with a fierce roar from the old centipede, both its physical body and Primordial Spirit turned into flying ash.

For if not so, there would only be more Human Race suffering on this Ancient Star.

On the other side, Di Li Si and the old woman bowed in great gratitude; this was absolutely an immense benefaction!

"No need for excessive courtesy..."

Along with a gentle surge of Dao Principles, he lifted the two people, old and young, a clear voice drifting far away.

The old woman stood up, opening her mouth wanting to say something, and Di Li Si was likewise the same.

Obviously.

Wu Shi's Saint Might was one aspect; his peerless bearing and Dao Rhyme absolutely let the two of them feel a kind of ultimate shock!

Such a figure was absolutely no ordinary person; looking over the entire Ancient Star, even the entire Star Domain, a second person could not be found!

This was also why the old woman, after a round of consideration, still recalled Di Li Si's flying shuttle and woke her up.

If it were other men, she would inevitably be full of guard; how would she let the Imperial Dynasty Princess easily appear to meet?

But unfortunately.

The two of them had just opened their mouths, words not yet spoken.

Wu Shi had already gone far, leaving only a unique Divine Aura Dao Rhyme.

Letting the young girl

"Your Highness..."

As the old woman looked forward, the corner of her eye also perceived Di Li Si's admiring gaze toward that back figure.

"Ah..."

The old woman sighed lightly; she had been momentarily impulsive, just feeling she should let the Princess see this peerless benefactor's heroic bearing.

But now looking at it, who knows whether for the Princess it is blessing or calamity...

Decades later.

In this Star Domain where the Great Dao suppresses, a Female Saint titled Di Li Si strongly rose.

Despite facing a difficult environment where Spiritual Qi does not manifest, she still defied heaven and became a Saint, astonishing the entire Star Domain.

This was naturally related to her peerless natural endowment, yet also cannot be denied; to a certain extent it was because of a certain obsession.

Having once seen that peerless Odd Man who crowned the era, she only wanted to pursue his footsteps!

This is a sentiment deeply hidden in the heart, a young girl's most sincere heart!

The Star Sea vast and boundless.

Di Li Si ultimately walked out of that Star Domain; having reached her current realm, she ultimately became one of the few among billions of ancient stars who could cross the Star Universe.

She always inquired, always searched.

And Wu Shi was also truly glorious to the extreme; even in this boundless Star Sea, his fame moved the Six Harmonies and Eight Wastelands.

Ultimately, Di Li Si found Wu Shi; the two walked a stretch together.

For her, this was the happiest period of her life, enough to fill all the voids and desolation in her life.

Wu Shi was a man peerless to the extreme, heroic bearing peerless, Divine Aura crowning ancient, modern, and future!

Even though at this moment he had not yet proved the Dao and become Emperor, that invincible bearing and posture already shocked all living beings, regardless of enemy or friend!

Even though Di Li Si was already a generation's Heaven's Pride Divine Maiden in her Star Domain, covered by a Divine Halo, all eyes on her, proudly looking down on the world.

But before Wu Shi, she was still far from enough; this was not a difference of the same dimension.

Of course.

Di Li Si completely had no intention of contending with Wu Shi; she completely could not give rise to such thoughts.

All she thought of was using a Female Saint's true heart to pursue, yet only for accompaniment, to follow behind, use a lifetime to walk together, to look up.

But ultimately.

Wu Shi appeared briefly like a night-blooming cereus, accompanied her through a stretch of years, transmitted a segment of Dao secrets to her, then returned to the Burial Emperor Star.

Afterwards.

Di Li Si ultimately abandoned all ties and set out alone, facing the cold and dark universe, constantly pursuing.

She entered the boundless Star Domain, seeking an opportunity to prove the Dao, but more than that, she wanted to see Wu Shi once more.

In the vast universe, she did not know where the path ahead lay.

However, in her understanding, there were only a few sources of life in the entire universe; she merely searched as best she could, but ultimately it was hopeless.

Although she also discovered the Star Sky Ancient Road, it was a pity that she was merely a latecomer, and with little life left, she could not pursue it.

After her cultivation reached the Absolute Peak, she still could not advance further, could not prove the Dao, and was about to pass away in the starry sky.

Through the long years, a solitary journey alone, red dust turns to skull, she would grow old and die alone in a corner of the Desolate Universe.

Living such a lonely life, no one knew her final thoughts.

No result, no hope, perhaps ultimately she would meet such an ending.

"I... only wish to follow your footsteps, even if I can only look up at you from behind for a lifetime."

This was an obsession she held before passing away.

But at the critical moment, a figure arrived, saved her, and sealed her away.

In the depths of Xing Hai.

In that mysterious Sheng Ya Dao Chang, a figure of majestic stature sat cross-legged within.

Holy Emperor Gu Xuan of a generation!

In the past, his entire body was wrapped in Chaos Qi, emitting the utmost Diandao pressure.

However.

At this time, the Dao Rhyme around him appeared and disappeared intermittently, and even his Great Dao seemed somewhat unstable.

Obviously, he had ultimately encountered a difficult obstacle.

In earlier years, his premonition was not false; he had long vaguely foreseen this scene today.

Because the path of Red Dust Immortal was far from being as smooth as ordinary, and would inevitably encounter various Jie E.

Even as strong as the Ruthless Great Emperor, the first in talent of ancient and modern times, during her transformation, she also encountered several shocks, nearly failing Nirvana, fortunately at the critical moment she still used a Supreme Secret Technique to barely pass through.

And Gu Xuan this time attempted to transform into a Chaos Body, desiring to live out a Fourth Life.

Over these years, he had always contemplated this path, and only made the choice after having many preparations and achievements.

In the First Life, when he was in his old age as a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, he fought a blood battle with the Ice Emperor who appeared from Busianshan, and the Great Dao Rune entered his body.

The Ice Emperor's Great Dao could be said to be utmost yin and extreme cold; although different from the Taiyin Human Emperor's Dao, it also had the marvel of different tunes with the same effect.

The universe's Great Dao Three Thousand always has some similar flowers; one cannot speak of which is weak or strong, what differs is only the choice, and what is strong is the original heart and self.

And the Holy Body lineage was originally utmost yang and utmost rigid.

In the thousands of years of Nirvana in the Immortal Pond, Gu Xuan ultimately refined the Ice Emperor's Great Dao Rune, making it an Order Divine Chain within his body.

And finally, in his own Great Dao, a faint strand of Chaos Qi was added.

This was a strand of Karma from tens of thousands of years.

Afterwards.

On the Immortal Path of Burial Emperor Star, he brought back the Remnant Body of the Taiyin Human Emperor, causing the Human Emperor to briefly appear in the world, and spread his Taiyin Supreme True Scripture, as well as his insights on transforming into a Chaos Body.

In addition, on a desolate star in Xing Hai, he retrieved the Divine Thought and remaining Human Skin of Taiyang Sheng Huang, also causing the Holy Emperor to briefly return, passing on his Taiyang Dao, likewise including his insights on transforming into a Chaos Body.

Of course.

These were all the insights and feelings of predecessors; at most they were merely external causes, which could serve as reference and example, but ultimately one still had to rely on oneself.

The so-called "Taiyin and Taiyang, which is weak or strong, yin and yang assist each other, under Tian Xia they are called Emperor" was merely a legend from time immemorial, a line of thought, but it needed someone to tread it.

Gu Xuan took the Dao Sacrifice Heavenly Art as the main, sacrificing his own Great Dao, transforming it into Chaos.

He almost succeeded, transforming himself into a Chaos Body.

However, he also encountered great trouble, his state was unstable, sometimes falling into the void; if an external enemy attacked, he would naturally activate the utmost Heavenly Emperor Level Combat Power, but when awake there was not much time, making it difficult to attend to the world.

This was also the reason he sent word to the Xi Huang Pagoda and the Queen Mother of the West, and had Wu Shi appear in the world.

In this life, Wu Shi would guard the world.
