Chapter 232

Taiyi Celestial Venerable, possessing an Ancient Saint Body.

And has already cultivated it to the realm of Great Accomplishment.

Having stepped into the supreme realm of cultivation, he is truly an outstanding talent.

Even the sacred land he founded remains to this day the foremost power of the present age.

He is also one of the most renowned Ancient Saint Bodies, admired by countless people.

At the same time.

Originally, the Taiyi Sacred Land.

The reason they value Lu Zhangsheng so highly.

It is also because the founder possesses a similar physique.

They feel that this child's future achievements will certainly not be inferior to the founder's.

Especially upon learning that he is also an Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus, they consider him even more extraordinary.

They directly regard him as the future that will allow the Taiyi Sacred Land to advance further, so bestowing a title in the name of Taiyi is not enough; they even produced the Putuo Wudao Tai.

They simply hope that Lu Zhangsheng will proceed more smoothly on his cultivation path and go farther.

Of course, the reason Yao Dian thought of the Taiyi Celestial Venerable.

There is also a more important reason.

That is.

He also clearly understands the relationship between the Taiyi Sacred Land and Lu Zhangsheng.

He feels that the figure reflected by the current Heaven and Earth Tribulation might perhaps be that Celestial Venerable.

"It is not the Taiyi Celestial Venerable; this figure wears an imperial crown and robes, and its appearance does not quite match."

But when Lu Yuhua heard this, he directly shook his head, thinking it was not, and gave his own reason, because according to records the Taiyi Celestial Venerable is a Daoist figure.

And now the aura of that figure is clearly like an emperor who overawes the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

From this point, one feels they are not very similar.

Indeed.

Yao Dian, upon hearing this.

Also suddenly came to realize.

Realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

But the problem is.

If it is not the Taiyi Celestial Venerable, then who could it be? Actually, not only Yao Dian, but the powerful ones around him at this moment are all guessing.

But it is obvious that even knowing it is an Ancient Saint Body, from ancient times until now.

Those who possess such a physique and have cultivated it to Great Accomplishment are also not few.

Merely guessing based on the current situation simply won't do.

It requires time.

Boom~ And just as everyone was thinking.

Another violent booming sound appeared.

A powerful aura spread forth, various magnificent powers continually surged, and the endless purple lightning directly obscured the Sky Dome.

The might was truly too strong, leaving many unable to recover, yet they persisted.

Because just now, everyone saw the great battle between Lu Zhangsheng and that figure.

Both sides seemed to basically use.

Physical strength.

Of course.

This is merely superficial.

After all, it is merely an outstanding talent reflected by the Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

Even if it emits a spiritual aura, it cannot truly be regarded as a living person.

But precisely for that reason, it is harder to deal with, because it is the power of Heaven and Earth; when Heaven and Earth are exhausted, only by completely suppressing one's own cultivation and strength can it be dispelled.

In other words, Lu Zhangsheng now faces a being of infinite divine power.

And whose combat power is tremendously terrifying, a possessor of an Ancient Saint Body.

One can imagine the pressure he faces.

But even in this situation.

He continually struck out, and finally, after another punch.

In his eyes, a strand of light emanated, imbuing his fist.

In an instant, a powerful aura spread forth; that figure seemed unable to withstand it, becoming unstable and beginning to turn translucent.

His form directly turned into lightning, continually spreading out, as if it would vanish in the next moment.

There's no way; the combat power Lu Zhangsheng displayed this time is truly too terrifying, let alone an opponent of the same realm.

Even if a sage were to come, they would still barely withstand it and risk mortal danger.

Yet the Heaven and Earth Tribulation is indeed mighty, still reflecting an outstanding talent.

In the end.

That figure nevertheless stabilized.

It re-solidified, and on that indistinct visage.

It seemed to also manifest waves of anger; the next moment, there was almost no hesitation.

He stepped forward, light emanated from his whole body, and quickly a zither formed from converged divine light appeared. Around it, lightning raged, yet slowly, like stars, it encircled the zither.

And that figure simply sat down right in front, extending both hands to begin playing.

Thud—thud—thud—, as if it were the most wonderful music in the world.

It could immerse all beings in it, making them intoxicated and enamored.

But soon, this melody seemed like countless immortal swords, emitting an extremely terrifying killing intent.

Moreover, that voice seemed like the heavens were angry, wanting to punish mankind.

This sight was terrifying, yet it also made everyone realize.

That outstanding person revealed by the Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

He finally chose not to rely solely on his flesh and physique, but to use divine abilities—though his ability was strange, being nothing more than an ancient zither.

It caused the cultivators in the ancient city below to each have a look of confusion in their eyes.

They felt, just how strong could this method be? But unlike them—

Lu Yuhua, Yaodian, the master of Tongtian Sword Pavilion, and the patriarch of the Cui family.

Upon seeing that figure and the moment he plucked the ancient zither, their eyes filled with utter shock.

Even more so, compared to seeing the Dark Creatures, they were even more shaken; finally, several people spoke at the same time: "Divine Prelude!"

These four characters.

Like a thunderclap.

It instantly transmitted into the ears of the powerful cultivators present.

Soon, they all reacted completely.

Then they stared blankly at the figure sitting cross-legged beside the ancient zither, continuously playing.

The expressions of these powerful cultivators were basically the same as Lu Yuhua's and the others', all filled with utter shock.

"Divine Prelude—throughout history, only one person has used it, and that person happens to possess the Ancient Saint Body."

The Cui family patriarch spoke, his words even carrying disbelief, for he had confirmed what kind of existence the figure revealed by the Heaven and Earth Tribulation was.

"Great-grandfather, do you know who he is?" Beside him, Cui Xinghai naturally also observed the reactions of the surrounding powerful cultivators.

He was shocked—who could cause so many Longevity Realm giants to react this way?

Thus, he was deeply curious.

He wanted to know.

And the Cui family patriarch naturally did not choose to conceal it.

After taking a deep breath, he gazed at the distant figure and slowly said: "Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable."

Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable?

At first.

Cui Xinghai's eyes still showed a hint of confusion.

But the next moment, he felt as if struck by lightning, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable—isn't that the first recorded Ancient Saint Body? Isn't he the one who, during humanity's darkest and most desperate era, led mankind in war against the Dark Beings and was the first to bear the imperial title of Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable?"

He was too shocked and found it unbelievable, because that existence was a figure he had heard about since childhood.

He was the most renowned figure in all of humanity, and countless ages have passed.

Yet the Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable still possessed supreme prestige.

He is also recorded in history.

He was the first to break through the shackles, suspected of having already ascended to the Immortal Realm.

Of course, none of that matters; what's important is that the Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable made great contributions to humanity.

He once supported humanity through its darkest period; it can be said that without him, whether humanity from ancient times could have survived to the present is a major question.

Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable is a hero of legend.

This is also Cui Xinghai.

This is the fundamental reason why all the powerful cultivators present were utterly shocked.

They never imagined that Heaven and Earth would project such an existence.

More importantly, it appeared during the tribulation of the Lu Family Divine Son, and they engaged in battle.

And.

They used the Divine Prelude.

"This—"

Upon hearing this, Yaodian also couldn't help shaking his head and swallowing.

He had actually guessed many possibilities, but never imagined it would be the Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable.

That outstanding person admired by countless people.

Lu Yuhua was the same.

There was nothing to be done.

Even though they had basically grown up hearing stories of the Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable, even if it was only a projection, seeing it still left them unable to suppress their shock, unable to calm down.

Of course.

Lu Yuhua also grew more worried.

Because, this Northern Heaven Celestial Venerable.

He was the first on record to have cultivated the Ancient Saint Body to Great Accomplishment.

In other words, he is the Elder Ancestor of all those with such a physique!
