Chapter 135: Ancient Emperor Mountain Chaos Arises!

Inside the Holy Cliff Dao Chang.

Di Li Si entered the Wushi Bell to nourish herself.

As for Queen Mother of the West Zhaotao, she naturally had an imperial palace beside Gu Xuan's Dao Platform belonging to her.

As for this originally nameless imperial palace, perhaps it would soon be renamed Zhaotao Gong — that is a later story.

Therefore.

Soon only Gu Xuan and Wu Shi remained on the Dao Platform.

"The Undying Heavenly Emperor... is actually such a person?"

Wu Shi's expression trembled slightly, golden light flickering in his eyes.

Clearly, during this meeting, Gu Xuan finally mentioned to him the Undying Heavenly Emperor's many deeds of ambushing the Emperors and bathing in their blood to achieve Nirvana.

Among these, naturally included the Taiyin Human Emperor, Taiyang Sheng Huang, Douzhan Shenghuang, and others.

Even Gu Xuan himself had once suffered this person's ambush kill, only he failed to succeed and was instead heavily injured by Gu Xuan.

And it cannot be ruled out that since the myriad ages, there were other Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors who also suffered the Undying Heavenly Emperor's schemes in their old age, merely unknown to the world.

Unless the Undying Heavenly Emperor speaks of it himself, otherwise even an existence like Gu Xuan would find it difficult to know all the details.

Such news is absolutely a myriad-ages great secret!

Even the Wushi Great Emperor, after learning these matters, was shaken in his heart.

Of course.

Even if Gu Xuan did not speak now, once Wu Shi reached his current height, in the future he would inevitably slowly investigate and ultimately learn of these — merely advancing the time.

"This person is also remarkable; though heavily injured by me, he ultimately escaped, and his hiding place is difficult to pursue."

Gu Xuan sighed lightly.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor is a legend since the Ancient Era, ancient to a terrifying degree, revered by the Ten Thousand Races as an existence surpassing divine spirits, unrivaled past and present, who created an incomparably brilliant and glorious Ancient Era.

Even a generation's Douzhan Shenghuang, during his reign shaking past and present with none able to match him, was still considered slightly weaker than the Undying Heavenly Emperor in the Ten Thousand Races' view.

Because he was the god in the hearts of the Primordial Races, too illusory, unable to confirm whether he existed, completely mythologized, nearly requiring worship.

Such a figure, in Gu Xuan's mouth, was merely a single "remarkable."

However.

In Wu Shi's hearing, there was no sense of incongruity, only because the current Gu Xuan had also long since reached such a height.

This is the fame he killed his way to in the past, and also contains his miracle of breaking the Ten Thousand Daos and defying heaven to become Emperor.

And Wu Shi himself has also reached this step.

Long afterwards.

The two great experts' discussion of the Dao temporarily came to a close.

Wu Shi stood up from the Dao Platform, for the first time going to fully perceive this entire Holy Cliff Dao Chang.

He once again deeply perceived that divine aura in the Dao Chang that spans the years and suppresses immortality — even time seemed to flow extremely slowly.

It actually involves the laws of the Time Dao!

Such a place, compared to his newborn Great Emperor's Wushi Daochang, is naturally more wondrous.

Of course.

With the Wushi Great Emperor's power, in the future he will inevitably be able to realize these as well — merely the current Holy Cliff Dao Chang indeed has many places worthy of his reference.

He saw in the farthest mountain cliff, the Divine Source where Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie self-sealed; he also saw the Three Great Undying Divine Medicines in another patch of Chaos Divine Soil.

He saw a Divine Source sealing a wondrous young man — that is the future Tai Huang, though Wu Shi did not know this person's name and did not pay excessive attention.

He also saw those dense Heavenly Emperor Level Array Patterns, simultaneously possessing terrifying killing, defense, and concealment power, in no way inferior to his Wushi Array Patterns or Deceiving Heaven Array Patterns.

Cannot speak of who is higher or lower, for Wu Shi has truly reached the absolute peak; having just proven the Dao and become Emperor, he already possessed heaven-defying strength not much weaker than Gu Xuan.

Finally.

Through those layers of Immortal Light mist, Wu Shi saw the graveyard on that great mountain peak in the distance.

Over a thousand years ago, when he first visited Gu Xuan, he had roughly seen these — merely at the time it was inconvenient and he had no mind to look closely.

Now, Wu Shi opened his Heavenly Eye, through that Chaos Qi, finally seeing the words on the tombstones.

As expected!

That is the Ling Yuan of the Holy Emperor's red-faced confidante, two blood-related children, old friend battle companions, and so on!

This moment.

Wu Shi's heart also trembled.

Before proving the Dao, he had also flipped through Ancient Texts, knowing some of the Holy Emperor's First Life experiences of pacifying chaos.

An ancient Holy Spirit, suspected survivor of the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, appeared causing trouble, wanting to blood sacrifice all living beings.

At that time the Holy Emperor had just recently achieved Saint Body Great Perfection; as this life's Supreme, he naturally would not allow such a strange calamity to occur.

Therefore, before he even had time to stabilize his realm, he went to meet this unparalleled great enemy in battle.

No need to think to know — that was an exceptionally cruel great battle, bloody and fierce.

Both sides suffered heavy injuries, and the Holy Emperor was even nearly oil exhausted lamp dry.

It was precisely at the most desperate moment that the Holy Emperor's two blood-related children blood sacrificed themselves, only to help their father replenish Qi and Blood, and his comrade also died in battle.

Even though he ultimately still won victory, that was a desperate tragic victory, filled with too much Shangchen.

And afterwards, his wife, once a peerless Heaven's Pride Divine Maiden, also died of heartbreak.

Without doubt, this is a bleak past.

The world knows this is a regret the Holy Emperor could hardly make up for in his life.

In that cruel and dark Hugu era, the title Human Race Supreme — how heavy it was.

Stunningly talented, cultivating to great completion, becoming a peerless hero — there is no doubt this is a magnificent span of years that inspires envy in later generations.

However, glory is like passing clouds and smoke; what one truly must face is only the solitude of ten thousand ages.

And who knows his life's experiences and state of mind, from birth fighting until old age, alone facing peerless great enemies.

Dear kin and old friends have all died; only he himself, carrying wounds, persists wearily, confronting and battling in solitude.

Of course, if he could let go, he could also completely disregard those matters.

Floods surging to the heavens — what have they to do with me? In any case, the dead are not my relatives or friends.

But as the inheritor of the Holy Body line, and also the most powerful cultivator of this life, he did not hesitate in the slightest, directly facing powerful enemies; even if the heavens and worlds before him burn, the severed path is all blood, the vast killing tribulation boundless, yet behind him lies a pure land.

The Hugu turmoil; terrifying ancient existences frequently stirred; unknown how many desperate battles — the world cannot fully know, only sensing those fierce, boundless collisions and fluctuations from outside the domain.

In the world's eyes, a generation's supreme is invincible, is glorious, standing at the absolute peak of cultivation, making people dazzled and yearning.

But few can truly experience the desolate twilight of the Holy Emperor in his first life's twilight years.

Alone, burying all his dear kin and old friends in graves, then silently guarding the forbidden zones, gradually growing old and frail, blood qi withering.

No need to think — one knows this must be a tragic song.

……

This moment.

Wu Shi looked at this graveyard before him, unable to help but sigh.

"Senior……"

He couldn't help turning his head, looking at Gu Xuan at his side; in his eyes there was regret, and also unbearable empathy, for he likewise had the sorrow of parents passed away.

And the other side.

Gu Xuan knew, Wu Shi visiting the Holy Cliff, ultimately there would be a day he would notice this graveyard, just like the Chaos Ancient Emperor many years ago.

However, he did not specially engrave any concealment array patterns.

For that is where his dear kin and old friends lie; it is not something that cannot see the light, no need to hide and cover up, making it mysteriously strange.

He saw Wu Shi's gaze, and in the end still forced a slight smile, as consolation, yet it ultimately appeared somewhat lonely.

And Wu Shi ultimately was no ordinary mortal.

And he also thought of when he previously discussed the Dao with Gu Xuan, they had spoken of the Immortal Domain, and even the Immortal Dao realms.

"I know with Senior's ability, you must intend to do something; is Senior waiting for a day in the future to resurrect them?"

Wu Shi forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, forced himself to ask, his gaze slightly complex.

There was even a kind of prayer within it, as if if he received a negative answer, he would not know how disappointed he would be.

For one of his life's great wishes is to resurrect his parents; and at this moment seeing that graveyard, the sole thought that flashed through his sea of consciousness was this one.

"Correct."

Gu Xuan spoke concisely, calmly replied.

"Really…… there is still hope?"

This moment, even Wu Shi's voice trembled somewhat, involuntarily somewhat doubting.

Not that he doesn't believe Gu Xuan, but facing the subject of whether his own parents can be resurrected and return, he simply cannot be calm, even if he is a Great Emperor.

"As long as we live, there will definitely be hope, waiting until the day we can resurrect them."

Gu Xuan's answer had a kind of certainty, also filled with a kind of determination and confidence.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knows the infinite possibilities after becoming an Immortal Emperor or even a Dao Sacrifice existence.

His answer, voice not loud, yet had an inexplicable persistence within it.

And Wu Shi couldn't help but his body shook once, visibly somewhat excited, even surpassing that moment in the past when he learned of the existence of immortals!

Just a single short sentence, yet to him it is of crucial importance, surpassing a hundred volumes of ancient scriptures!

Afterwards.

He involuntarily bowed deeply towards Gu Xuan, for in his heart he was incomparably grateful.

As the current era's Great Emperor, and a Heavenly Emperor level expert, incomparably noble — who could make him bow so low? Only the Holy Emperor Gu Xuan of a generation, for he has helped him too much!

……

Unknown how much time passed.

Wu Shi ultimately left the Holy Cliff Dao Chang, returned to his own Dao Chang on the Beidou Ancient Star.

And he also used great Fa Li, helped Di Li Si regain a physical body.

Having reached such heights, not to mention a complete Soul remaining, even if only a drop of blood remained, perhaps it would still be possible to help Di Li Si return.

What is feared is that the person to be resurrected has long since perished in the River of Time, not a single bit left behind, just like his parents.

If that is the case, then only as the Holy Emperor said, continuously cultivating to the extreme peak of immortality afterwards, only then is there a glimmer of possibility.

A period of time later.

In Wu Shi's Dao Chang, there was an additional Di Li Si Dao Palace.

Di Li Si was originally of stunning talent; in the past she was even influenced by the peerless Dao Rhyme in the Holy Cliff Dao Chang, and received Wu Shi's marrow-washing and essence-refining.

And after her resurrection, she was even together with Wu Shi morning and evening; the thickness of her luck is naturally difficult to imagine.

Therefore.

In not long a time, Di Li Si broke through twice, ascending from a Female Saint to a powerful Quasi-Emperor, rarely seen in ancient times.

However.

As time hurriedly passed, decades flew by in a flash, yet Wu Shi and Di Li Si still ultimately had no blood-related children born.

Without doubt, this made Di Li Si somewhat anxious and worried.

Bearing children for her beloved man is an instinctive hope of hers, even can be said to be a kind of longing.

But the fact is just so, to the extent that she began to doubt her own body.

Needless to say, this must have a greater connection to the Wu Shi constitution.

And the facts proved it so.

As a Heavenly Emperor Level Expert, Wu Shi had long since roughly perceived the truth within.

And when he brought Di Li Si to visit Gu Xuan on one occasion, he also asked the latter to confirm once more.

The reason was very clear: the Wu Shi Great Emperor's constitution was too powerful and special; his Innate Holy Body Dao Embryo was unparalleled throughout history, only the Chaos Body could compare with it.

Although Di Li Si was stunningly talented, she was ultimately merely a mortal body.

If she wanted to bear a child with Wu Shi, she would either have to become a Great Emperor Level Expert, or wait until after entering the Immortal Domain.

Of course, if she were like Ye Fan in later generations, reaching the extreme of brilliance before returning to simplicity, and once again reverting to an "ordinary" mortal body, that would naturally be different.

Also of course, with Wu Shi's power, he could completely sever the divinity of his own essence, allowing Di Li Si to give birth to an ordinary child, but the couple ultimately did not do so.

……

Time flew by, hundreds of years passing in a flash.

During these years of the Wu Shi Great Emperor suppressing the era, the Human Race grew ever more prosperous and flourishing, with experts emerging endlessly in the Five Domains.

It can be said that by this era, the Beidou Human Race had truly reached an absolute peak period, truly ruling the world!

Over these years, the Wu Shi Great Emperor did not remain stationed on the Beidou Ancient Star for long, but instead roamed the Star Sea with his Dao Companion Di Li Si at times, and patrolled the Heavens and Worlds at others.

The Universe is far too vast and boundless; even if a Great Emperor can traverse the Endless Star Domain in an instant, they can only reach a certain place, not that they can reach any corner of the Universe.

But even so, the Human Race Great Emperor's illustrious fame still suppressed the Beidou Ancient Star into peace, with no Dark Turmoil, and no supreme existence daring to actively appear.

But this peace was broken on this day by the Taigu Royal Clan within Gu Huangshan.

The matter was actually not complicated; it was all because of the cultivation world's circulating "currency" — Divine Source!

Gu Huangshan's Nine Dragons Guarding a Pearl, internally containing endless Heaven and Earth momentum comparable to a Life Forbidden Zone, within it and even the surrounding ten thousand miles there were large quantities of Source, and even Divine Source was very commonly seen.

For the world, naturally, there emerged "Source Miners", who opened up many Source Mines near Gu Huangshan.

There were even legendary secret rumors that Holy Land experts had cut out suspected human-form Ancient Race Spirit Embryos from unearthed Source Stones, with extremely astonishing bloodlines.

However, the Spirit Embryos were ultimately suppressed by these few experts using Great Magic Power far exceeding their rank, and their essence was completely absorbed, benefiting them immensely, but this news was sealed very well, with only an extremely small number of people knowing.

This day.

A Source Mine had another major discovery! Many Divine Sources were discovered, exceeding a year's worth of Divine Source quantity.

But unexpectedly, the dozens of people who went down to mine sources all died, without the slightest omen, as if struck by a curse.

At first, this Source Mine did not pay it mind, merely thinking they had encountered ghosts underground.

Until overnight, the entire Source Mine's people died out, and a Great Teaching's source collector discovered the suspicious point: they had clearly been drained of their Essence Qi alive by a supreme existence!

This news immediately spread among the Source Mines near Gu Huangshan, causing a shock.

But wealth moves hearts; the Great Teaching figures wanted to cover it up, yet unexpectedly, in just half a month, the source miners of all nearby Source Mines died completely.

This matter thoroughly shocked the upper echelons of this Great Teaching, who dispatched six King Who Severed the Dao Realm figures to thoroughly investigate.

Then all six Kings failed to send back even a shred of news; this shocking event cast a layer of gloom over the Eastern Wasteland!

And in the Deep Parts of Gu Huangshan, a Taigu Clansman covered in silver scales, with folded wings on his back, a horn growing from his brow, and six arms, had furious eyes, roaring at the sky.

He roared at the heavens, directly causing the earth to crack, mine shafts to collapse, and underground magma to surge, as if venting the fury of Gu Huangshan being disturbed!
