Chapter 126: Holy Emperor and Wu Shi

As a Current Era Great Emperor, the Di Fu coordinates deduced by Wu Shi contained no error.

But it was a pity that, as early as the moment he proved the Dao and became Emperor, Di Fu had already made its decision and taken action immediately.

"Hum—"

A heaven-penetrating netherworld treasure wreathed in immortal light tore through the Great Universe, carrying the entire Di Fu as it vanished into the Xing Hai.

Some Supreme Races and Dao lineages perceived this scene and were shocked by it.

Not long after, this news spread throughout the Universe, shaking the Shi Jie.

A generation's Human Race Great Emperor Wu Shi had just achieved the Dao, yet this Forbidden Zone chose to avoid the world — unimaginable!

Since ancient times past and present, Di Fu counts as a truly undying major power, able to rival the Ancient Heavenly Court, terrifying to the extreme.

Yet for ten thousand ages, generation after generation of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors achieved the Dao, and Di Fu was never seen to be so wary.

This shows how the current Wushi Great Emperor surpasses all ages, past and present!

And it cannot help but set people's imaginations soaring, speculating that there must be great Cause and Effect involved.

Beidou Ancient Star.

Among the several major Life Forbidden Zones.

"Di Fu has disappeared?!"

The Various Supremes sensed this scene, feeling quite astonished, and at the same time somewhat disappointed.

For among them, some existences understood the grievances between Xi Huang Mu and the Di Fu organization, and hoped this Forbidden Zone could test Wu Shi Great Emperor's mettle.

What a pity, Di Fu was very decisive, vanishing from the world with extreme resolution, having absolutely no intention of fighting Wu Shi.

"They ran quite cleanly; I thought they would fight a battle with him using that Immortal Artifact."

In the Reincarnation Sea Forbidden Zone, a Supreme sneered.

"Not worth it at all, and Di Fu these years is also no longer what it once was."

In the same Forbidden Zone, an Ancient Venerable sighed lightly; his existence spanned a terrifyingly long time, and he knew much about Di Fu's situation.

And in the Other Forbidden Zones, ten-thousand-ages-cold demonic voices also rang out; obviously the existences within were also communicating.

In fact.

To a certain extent, the Various Supremes also understood Di Fu's choice.

Among them, some knew the circumstances of That Day, understood the great enmity between Di Fu and Wu Shi — if the two sides fought, it would inevitably be a fight to the death.

That absolutely could not be resolved by offering some Enlightenment Ancient Tea, divine medicines, or divine veins and such supreme treasures.

And with the Nether Emperor missing and Longevity already gone, the current Di Fu was no longer at its former peak.

Star Depths.

When Wu Shi rushed over, Di Fu had already vanished, leaving its original position, with no trace to be found.

It must be said, the heaven-penetrating netherworld treasure, even if not an Immortal Artifact, was not far from it.

The Ming Tu World was vast and boundless, layer upon layer underground, with countless netherworld creatures, like another Foreign Domain space,

yet all were driven by the several Supremes within activating the heaven-penetrating netherworld treasure, carried along as they escaped into a certain secret realm — even a Current Era Great Emperor would find it hard to locate.

Wu Shi's gaze was incomparably clear and cold; he sat cross-legged in this Xing Kong, earnestly deducing, attempting to capture a few spider-silk horse-tracks.

However.

Di Fu had long been prepared, severing all Qi mechanisms.

Even though Wu Shi had fused the Heaven's Heart imprint, it was still difficult to trace.

In the end, he could only temporarily give up; moreover, time was on his side, and he was perhaps not in a rush for the moment.

……

Beidou Ancient Star.

A Golden Light Avenue extended forth, with various Immortal Spirits coiling around it.

True Dragons soared, Immortal Phoenixes danced, Black Tortoises cleared the way… strands of auspicious clouds, rays of Divine Light, brilliant and miraculous.

Wushi Great Emperor strode upon it; in a single step he crossed the Endless Star Domain, returning to this Life Source Star.

Wherever he passed, Heaven and Earth sent down extraordinary auspicious scenes for him, acknowledging his supreme Dao Fruit — this is rarely seen in ten thousand ages; from ancient times to now, few have been able to achieve it.

On the Great Earth, countless people raised their eyes to the Heavens, witnessing this magnificent and miraculous spectacle.

Wushi Great Emperor has returned!

For a moment, everyone was shaken, feeling that incomparably tyrannical Emperor Dao pressure!

Their own Ancient Star had produced another peerless Great Emperor.

This was absolutely a major event that would dominate the Great Universe situation for tens of thousands of years to come.

Amidst the shock and excitement, people also naturally thought of going to pay respects to the Current Era Great Emperor.

And long before this, from other Star Domains, various Supreme Races and major powers had already dispatched Tribal Leaders, crossing the Star Universe, rushing to Beidou Star, likewise for the matter of paying respects.

Of course.

Besides that, if they could also hear a lecture or two from the Great Emperor in person, that would be an even greater Great Opportunity.

But what followed left everyone somewhat awkwardly discovering that, although everyone knew the current Wushi Great Emperor came from Beidou Ancient Star, hardly anyone knew which Dao lineage he originated from.

Even the many powerhouses on the Donghuang Dadi who had once crossed hands with Wu Shi could not find out.

Because in the past, from the age of ten-odd years, Wu Shi left Yaochi Holy Land, wandering the Donghuang Dadi as a lone cultivator.

By the time he achieved a Saint in an extremely short time, he had even left Beidou Ancient Star, successively campaigning and tempering himself in the Heavens and Worlds and on the Star Sky Ancient Road.

Later, as his cultivation flourished daily, even fewer people could investigate his roots.

Therefore.

On the Great Earth, people momentarily did not know where to go to pay respects to the new Emperor.

However.

Not too long passed before everyone perceived that majestic Dao Platform in the starry sky.

It was formed from Dao Qi, and was also the location of the Wushi Great Emperor's Dao Chang at this moment.

The terrifying-to-the-extreme Diandao Weiya was precisely emanating from the direction of that Dao Platform.

And simultaneously, this entire Heaven and Earth saw Purple Qi Comes from the East, immortal mist pervading, as if the Ten Thousand Daos were converging toward this place.

This made all living beings tremble, feeling soul-deep submission and worship, while simultaneously sensing their cultivation bottlenecks begin to waver, faintly showing signs of Po Jing.

So this is a Great Emperor? To actually possess such Prestige and Qi mechanism?!

Since the disappearance of the Chaos Ancient Great Emperors, the world has not seen such an Existence; now people finally witness it, as if seeing a Supreme God.

"Pay respects to the Wushi Great Emperor!"

Resounding voices rang out in unison, the earth trembling slightly.

The starry sky was the same, for there were many cultivators who had rushed over from other Star Domains.

Of course, many people still hoped in their hearts to be able to listen to the Wushi Great Emperor's sermon.

Next moment.

A Great Dao sound containing endless Dao Rhyme suddenly rang beside everyone's ears.

"All go back, come again in a hundred years."

Undoubtedly, everyone knew this voice came from the Wushi Great Emperor who had just returned.

Yet they did not feel dejected; on the contrary, their faces showed joy.

For obviously, the Great Emperor had already agreed to their paying respects, and he necessarily had more important matters to attend to, such as sorting out his own Great Dao, stabilizing his Dao Fruit, and the like.

And according to the secret records of the various Great Dao Orthodoxies, many Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors of the past did the same after proving their Dao.

Therefore.

After all cultivators paid respects toward the direction of the Wushi Daotai, they returned to their respective Orthodoxies.

There were also quite a few cultivators from outside domains who simply stayed on this Ancient Star, some seeking immortals and visiting friends, some purely to cultivate on this Ancient Star, hoping to borrow the Great Emperor's Luck.

For a time, the area around the Wushi Daotai returned to tranquility.

After all, no one dared disturb the Current Era Great Emperor's quiet cultivation.

……

Yaochi Holy Land.

In an ancient hall at the deepest part.

A simple Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda rose and fell in midair, the pagoda body trembling, emitting an extremely excited and joyful Qi mechanism.

For how many ten-thousands of years, it had rarely been like this; even facing generations of the Queen Mother of the West, it was always silent in response, yet now it was completely different.

And in the ancient hall, three peerless beauties still stood.

"Imperial Son... you have finally proven the Dao after all!"

One of them was naturally the current Queen Mother of the West.

She looked magnificent and peerlessly beautiful, usually composed and majestic, fully displaying the aura of a generation's Holy Land master.

Yet now, like the Xi Huang Pagoda, she gazed at the white-clothed man before her with great excitement, even to the point of being unable to control herself.

The other two were her junior sisters, also born with immortal bearing and jade bones, holy and elegant; at this moment they were also excited to the point of tears filling their eyes.

The white-clothed man was naturally Wushi who had returned from the starry sky.

At this moment, he had naturally long since restrained his own Great Emperor Qi mechanism; otherwise the three of them absolutely could not have endured it.

And he lightly waved his left hand, a profound and unfathomable fluctuation spreading forward.

Instantly, the Queen Mother of the West and the other two female cultivators all felt a mysterious and enormous elevation occur within their bodies, as if reborn, both numb and itchy, yet comfortable to the extreme.

This feeling was truly too intoxicating, causing even the Queen Mother of the West at the Great Saint Realm and the other two at the Saint King Realm to involuntarily sit in meditation, comprehending the Tu Po occurring within their bodies.

Without a doubt, this was Wushi using his Fa Li to help them perform Shedding Mortal Body and Exchanging Bones!

"Imperial Son..."

Compared to her two junior sisters, the Queen Mother of the West's cultivation was higher after all; she forcibly endured the Tu Po reaction within her body, wanting to stop Wushi, fearing this would consume his own life essence.

This was also an instinctive reaction.

For as the Queen Mother of the West, although she regarded Wushi as a little ancestor, in reality there was more of a "foster mother" identity consciousness in her subconscious.

And this stopping was naturally declined by Wushi.

Undoubtedly, this was a way for him to repay them.

Unknown how much time passed, the Queen Mother of the West and her two junior sisters finally awoke from sitting meditation.

They perceived the miraculous Tu Po that had occurred in their bodies, unable to help being both shocked and delighted.

Without a doubt, Wushi's this action was no different from reconnecting the severed road for the three of them.

For originally speaking, even though the three of them were the most supremely talented of the previous generation of Yaochi Holy Land, cultivating to now, they had also already more or less reached the peak of this life.

If no accident, the Great Saint Realm was the Queen Mother of the West's limit.

But now, if there is sufficient opportunity, she not necessarily cannot achieve a Quasi-Emperor, her lifespan also gaining an extra one or two thousand years.

As for her two junior sisters, also much the same, blessings similar.

Finally.

Even though they had cared for young Wushi for several years, with quite a bit of "foster mother" identity among them, at this moment they could not help but prostrate wanting to pay respects, wishing to express gratitude.

And obviously, Wushi would not let them do so.

A gentle Dao Wave crossed over, supporting the Queen Mother of the West and the others up.

Long afterwards.

In the ancient hall, only Wushi, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda remained.

This inevitably meant an important matter was about to occur, one that even the Queen Mother of the West's two junior sisters could not participate in.

"Hum!"

The Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda trembled lightly, striking out a mysterious brand.

In the midair of the ancient hall, a scene of light and shadow appeared — precisely a reappearance of a scene from the past.

【In the dark and cold starry sky.

An unadorned imperial pagoda cleaved through eternity, crossing the starry sky, arriving at a mysterious place.

Boom— a peerless woman flew out from the imperial pagoda; judging by her appearance, it was precisely the current Queen Mother of the West.

One person, one pagoda, traversing the endless star domains, coming here — for what purpose?

And the next moment, before them appeared a figure, above whose head floated a Chaos Square Vessel of an ancient shore.

Even if merely a strand of a brand, the feeling this figure gave was arrogant above ancients and present, prestige absolute.

Like a Heavenly Emperor descending to the world, powerful to the absolute peak!

Or as if there were immortals in the world, I fear it would be much the same.

This is absolutely a supreme existence crowning past, present, and future, seemingly in no way inferior to the Imperial Sovereign of the past!】

"This is……"

Seeing this scene within the brand, even Wu Shi, who had already proven the Dao, was somewhat shaken.

He proved the Dao and became Emperor with the Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo; his strength, if not the number one person of all time, was also in the front ranks.

But this existence within the mysterious brand had obviously most likely already walked ahead of him.

And through that miraculous Chaos Square Vessel above his head, this person's identity was already about to leap out!

The Holy Emperor Gu Xuan of a generation past!

So it seems, the Holy Emperor did not sit in meditation and pass away, but still survives in this world?

Such a thought rose in Wu Shi's sea of consciousness, shaking him to the extreme, somewhat inconceivable.

For the era when the Holy Emperor suppressed the world is already extremely distant from now; he is an existence born ten thousand years earlier than even the Void Great Emperor.

In fact.

It is also no wonder Wu Shi is somewhat shocked.

For the Void Great Emperor, the Chaos Ancient Emperor, and Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie have all already vanished from the world, yet the Holy Emperor has actually reappeared — it must be called a strange event, somewhat unfathomable.

Actually, never mind Wu Shi reacting this way upon seeing this scene for the first time.

Even the witness of that day's scene herself — the Queen Mother of the West — upon seeing it again at this moment, was also unable to control herself, dazzled and lost in spirit.

As a Great Sage level cultivator, she gained the chance to personally face a Heavenly Emperor level existence; that kind of shock is unimaginable, unparalleled!

And within the mysterious brand, the light and shadow continued.

【The Holy Emperor transmitted a few sentences of Great Dao divine sounds, the gist being that the world under heaven is in turmoil, there may be instability, this life may be guarded by the Western Emperor's son.

His voice was clear and far-reaching, like Heavenly Dao's peerless sounds, naturally containing a Dao Rhyme within.

And then, nine ancient characters flew out from above his head.

Each ancient character displayed brilliance, condensing strange divine power, arranged according to specific orientations, seemingly a certain kind of mysterious coordinates.

Unknown how much time passed.

The Holy Emperor's figure vanished, and this starry sky's Great Dao seal also lifted accordingly, but the outside world fundamentally could not possibly investigate what happened here anymore.

The Western Emperor Pagoda carrying the Queen Mother of the West again traversed the void, returning to the Yaochi Holy Land on the Beidou Ancient Star.

And then, the brand finally ended.】

"So it seems, my birth in the past was because the Holy Emperor wanted me to guard this life?"

In Wu Shi's eyes, a strange divine brilliance flickered.

The Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda rumbled, transmitting a clear and beautiful divine sound, like a woman speaking, very moving, yet also extremely brief, confirming Wu Shi's doubt.

And on the other side, the Queen Mother of the West also nodded, looking toward Wu Shi.

And the next moment.

From the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda shook out nine ancient characters, like Dao Patterns, very profound, difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"This is a set of coordinates in the void."

Wu Shi received them one by one, then softly spoke this sentence, causing the Queen Mother of the West to be shocked, for in the past she could not discern the meaning of these nine ancient characters, surpassing her limit.

Only upon reaching Wu Shi's current Emperor Realm could one know this is a kind of imperial script.

Obviously.

The Holy Emperor's intention is very clear: if Wu Shi proves the Dao and becomes Emperor, he can use this set of coordinates as guidance to go meet the Holy Emperor.

Such a conclusion not only made the Queen Mother of the West's heart pound wildly, even Wu Shi felt some anticipation.
