Chapter 104

Within a special small world beneath the tomb of the Green Emperor, the divine light of creation flowed, and two figures appeared out of thin air—none other than Fuxi and Nüwa.

The moment they arrived, their gazes simultaneously fell upon the center of this small world, where they saw an ancient tower swirling with immortal light.

The tower had nine levels, ancient and solemn, encircled by immortal light that never faded, flowing with the traces of ages, as if it penetrated the entirety of ancient civilization's history.

This is a genuine immortal artifact, and it is completely intact.

Desolate Tower.

The moment they saw this ancient tower, a thought instantly arose in Fuxi's mind.

If we really count it up, this Desolate Tower, forged by Shi Hao when his cultivation was not yet complete, modeled after the small tower, truly runs through the three-part series as an important item, and is also one of the oldest treasures in the present universe.

Om.

As Fuxi recalled the origins of the Desolate Tower in his mind, Nüwa seemed to sense something, pointed a finger, and a strand of creation's immortal light fell upon the ancient tower.

Boom.

The creation's immortal light merged into the tower without hindrance, seemingly activating what lay within; the entire tower suddenly burst forth with brilliant immortal light.

The next instant, countless immortal lights continually gathered, directly forming a tall figure.

This figure had black hair hanging over its shoulders, eyes like lightning—it was the lotus of the eternal azure sky, the Green Emperor.

"Green Emperor!"

Upon seeing the Green Emperor's figure, Fuxi seemed to sense something, and a hint of unusual color appeared in his eyes.

That was not a true physical body, but rather his primordial spirit, aided by the power of the Desolate Tower, manifesting in the world.

"It is me."

Although the Green Emperor was now a manifestation of his primordial spirit, it was virtually indistinguishable from his true form; ordinary people could not perceive any difference.

He slowly walked to stand before the two, his eyes shining with the wise light of one who comprehends all worldly affairs.

Gazing at the two figures before him, he seemed to sense something, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes that he could hardly conceal.

Especially upon seeing Nüwa, his eyes flashed with divine light, tinged with a hint of surprise.

After a long while, the Green Emperor finally spoke: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Fellow Daoist Nüwa—I never expected Fellow Daoist Nüwa to have come this far; it is truly astonishing!"

After glancing at the Green Emperor, the light of creation flowed in Nüwa's eyes, and she spoke with a hint of solemnity: "Fellow Daoist Green Emperor, your current state is not right."

"Fellow Daoist Nüwa has seen through it!"

A hint of lament appeared on the Green Emperor's face as he said: "I dismembered myself, leaving only my primordial spirit to enter the Desolate Tower, there to suppress the tower's deity, hoping to derive an immortal realm from my own primordial spirit within the tower—who would have thought it would instead lead me down a dead end."

Having said that, he again bowed to Nüwa and said: "I must also thank Fellow Daoist Nüwa for extending her aid, awakening me from my slumber; otherwise, I might have remained asleep in the Desolate Tower until my complete demise."

Upon hearing the Green Emperor's words, Nüwa shook her head and said: "Fellow Daoist Green Emperor, your aspirations are grand, but are you not being too hasty? An immortal realm is not something we, who have not yet truly tread the path to immortality, can successfully evolve."

"What Fellow Daoist Nüwa says is absolutely correct."

The Green Emperor sighed: "Unfortunately, by the time I realized this, it was already too late; now I can only give it my all, and perhaps when I truly fail, that will be my final stand."

In fact, from the moment his primordial spirit fell into slumber due to attempting to evolve an immortal realm, the Green Emperor had already understood this, clearly seeing that he had stepped onto a dead end.

However, having drawn the bow, there is no turning back; he now has no other choice but to follow this road to its end.

Even if it were not for Fellow Daoist Nüwa's intervention to awaken him, the Green Emperor felt he might remain unawakened until utter failure.

Upon hearing the Green Emperor's words, Fuxi spoke: "Fellow Daoist Green Emperor, there may actually still be a chance."

The instant his words fell, he pointed a finger, divine light surged, and two strands of divine light composed of countless Great Dao runes appeared before him, constantly flickering.

One of these strands of divine light contained hundreds of ancient characters, continually recombining and arranging themselves, as if evolving a patch of heaven and earth, an immortal realm.

The other strand of divine light resembled a tract of unopened Chaos, within which a burly, vast figure rose and fell, bearing the intent of opening heaven and earth.

The moment he saw these two clusters of divine light, the Green Emperor's heart and spirit shuddered violently, and his eyes burst forth with an unprecedented bright radiance.

Evolving the immortal realm. Opening heaven and earth.

Countless thoughts turned in his mind; at this moment, his heart held only one idea: he must obtain these two strands of divine light.

At this moment, the Green Emperor's spiritual sense trembled violently, as if he beheld the sole sliver of survival after walking this dead-end path.

After a long while, he slowly gathered his thoughts, subconsciously glanced at the figure in dark robes before him, his tone tinged with excitement and anticipation, and said: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, what is this?"

Fuxi pointed to the two strands of divine light before him and said: "Fellow Daoist Green Emperor, these are two inheritances I happened to obtain, which align closely with your current path of evolving an immortal realm. One inheritance comes from a being like yourself, who sought to complete a deficient immortal realm; the other comes from a mighty being who opened heaven and earth. With these two inheritances as reference, by drawing analogies, you may yet be able to walk your own road, or find other hope."

Having said that, Fuxi glanced at the ancient tower at the center of this small world and said, his tone inexplicable: "The supremely powerful being who left behind the hundreds of ancient characters' scripture for completing the deficient immortal realm is actually the forge of this Desolate Tower."

"Completing the deficient immortal realm. The forge of the Desolate Tower."

The Green Emperor glanced at the ancient tower swirling with immortal light, suddenly realized, and said: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, do you mean that the scripture of hundreds of ancient characters for repairing the immortal realm actually originates from a true immortal?"

The Desolate Tower is indeed a genuine immortal artifact, so the one who forged it naturally could not be an ordinary person.

"Hmm."

Fuxi nodded, his tone carrying a hint of leisure: "His title is Huang, which is also the origin of the name Desolate Tower; even the system of cultivation based on the body as a seed that we in this universe now practice was ultimately perfected by him. I believe the scripture he left behind for completing the immortal realm will be of great reference value for your path, Fellow Daoist Green Emperor."

Huang

Upon uttering that title instinctively, the Green Emperor's heart and spirit fell into a daze, as if some information flowed through his mind, and vaguely a blurry figure appeared before his eyes.

In an instant, a sudden, inexplicable train of thought arose in his heart.

"'Have I ever encountered this Huang before? Or did my primordial self, before giving birth to spiritual awareness, meet him?'"

After a long while, the Green Emperor finally came to himself, secretly shook his head, and dispelled the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind.

By now, that Huang may have long ceased to exist; pondering these matters is meaningless—what matters most now is whether his own path can succeed.

Thinking this through, the Green Emperor focused his attention on the two strands of divine light before the fellow Daoist before him, and directly said: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you are correct; these two inheritances indeed align closely with my current path, and they may even be my last sliver of hope—what do you require?"

Though it was their first meeting, the other party had produced such a precious inheritance, and the Green Emperor did not feel that the other was specifically there to help him.

"Fellow Daoist Green Emperor, your discerning eyes are like torches; I indeed also need your two items—this shall serve as the bargaining chip for our trade."

Fuxi gave a light laugh, casually waved his hand, and the two strands of divine light before him fell directly into the Green Emperor's hands.

The Green Emperor almost instinctively took the two strands of divine light, then curiously looked toward the figure in dark robes opposite him, awaiting the other's demand.

Upon glancing at the Green Emperor, a subtle shift occurred in Fuxi's inner breath; a hazy divine light rose in his sea of wheels, wherein a phantom azure lotus flickered faintly, and within it the burly figure of one wielding a heavy stone axe that exuded the intent of opening heaven and earth rose and fell.

In the next moment, all these visions vanished. Feng Yi smiled and said, 'To be frank, my path also incorporates part of the insight from those two inheritances before you. The Azure Emperor Daoist was formed from the manifestation of the Chaos Azure Lotus; his own Dao naturally aligns with those two inheritances that pertain to the truth of world creation and evolution. Therefore I need your Daoist's insight into the Dao, as well as the Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapon formed from your true body, the Chaos Azure Lotus, in order to comprehend the true meaning of those two inheritances and fully integrate them into my own path.'

Indeed.

Sensing the change in the fellow Daoist's aura before him, the Azure Emperor's eyes flashed with understanding, then he laughed and said, 'No problem, it's just a small matter.'

To him now, imperial weapons and inheritances are merely external objects, nothing worth worrying about.

If he can successfully walk his Immortal Dao and complete the evolution of the Immortal Realm, he can then advance further and truly become an immortal.

To him, this is his Dao path, and also the most important matter.

With a thought, the Azure Emperor pointed, a flash of Chaos Immortal Light appeared, transforming into an illusory Chaos Azure Lotus.

The Chaos Azure Lotus swayed continuously, as if composed of countless Great Dao runes, constantly evolving various Great Dao truths, embracing all Dao.

'Fellow Daoist Fuxi, this is my Dao insight!'

The moment his words fell, the rune-formed Chaos Azure Lotus flew straight to Feng Yi's front.

Gazing at this Chaos Azure Lotus imbued with Great Dao truth and embracing all Dao, Feng Yi's heart stirred; an ancient Dragon Stele appeared before him, absorbing it directly, leaving an engraving of the Chaos Azure Lotus on its surface.

The next moment, the Dragon Stele returned to Feng Yi's Sea of Wheels, beside the illusory Azure Lotus at the center of his Sea of Wheels world.

Boom

The engraving of the Chaos Azure Lotus on the Dragon Stele emitted a mysterious Chaos Immortal Light, resonating with the illusory Azure Lotus in his Sea of Wheels world, causing that illusory lotus to continually transform and elevate, evolving toward a true Chaos Azure Lotus.

In an instant, Feng Yi's mind felt dazed, as if he had traversed the river of time and space, becoming a Chaos Azure Lotus rooted in Chaos, undergoing endless years of growth and transformation.

During this process, his spirit seemed to undergo a baptism, gaining new insight into the Pangu's Way within the Heaven Stele Profound Method, and growing ever more in tune with it.

'Pangu's Way of creating heaven and earth and the Chaos Azure Lotus's Way of Chaos are indeed highly compatible.'

With this thought arising in his mind, Feng Yi finally clarified the path of his Sea of Wheels, this bodily secret realm, understanding how he should rebuild the Sea of Wheels secret realm and walk his own Dao path.

On the other side, after giving his Dao insight to the fellow Daoist Fuxi before him, the Azure Emperor glanced into the distance, his eyes flashing with divine light, piercing the barrier of this small world and seeing his true body transformed into the Ultimate Dao Imperial Weapon, the Chaos Azure Lotus.
