I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Emperor Shun resided in the center of the Xuanhuang Realm, in a mountain called Cangwu.

This point was clearly marked on the map that the Eastern Pole True Lord gave to the rivers.

"It seems there is also a Cangwu Mountain on our ancestral planet."

During the flight, Jiang He couldn't help but think back: "According to records, after Shun succeeded to the throne, he ordered Yu the Great to control the floods, tour the four directions, reform the system of rites, reduce punishments, and require the people to practice virtue and stay away from sycophants, thus making a great contribution to the development of the human race."

"His abdication signifies the end of the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and also represents the ascension of the ancestral human race to the pinnacle of all heavens..."

"Legend has it that after Shun abdicated, he lived in seclusion on Mount Cangwu (also known as Mount Jiuyi)... It is unknown when he came to the Xuanhuang Realm. Perhaps he named the mountain where he now cultivates 'Cangwu' in remembrance of his ancestral star, 'Mount Cangwu'."

Jiang He was not in a hurry to get going.

He admired the mountains and rivers of the Xuanhuang Realm along the way, marveling at them: "In terms of cultivation environment alone, the Xuanhuang Realm is better than the Kunlun Realm... After all, it is close to the gate of the Immortal Realm, which has many advantages, and even the spiritual energy contains some 'immortal spiritual energy'."

Due to the long-term influence of "immortal spiritual energy", the "life essence" of the beings born in the [Xuanhuang Realm] is extremely powerful, and they can easily cultivate to the level of Martial Dao Celestial Being or Martial Dao Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Fish-Dragon Realm and Half-Saint are also relatively easy to be born.

but……

It's not without its downsides.

Many worlds in the Immortal Realm lack a "World Origin," and the absence of a "World Origin" prevents the beings born in the Immortal Realm from attaining "Invincibility"!
As for why this was the case, Jiang He was not clear.

However, what is currently known is that among all the beings born throughout the many eras of the entire [Immortal Realm], no powerful being has ever successfully proven themselves to be "invincible".

Although the size of the Immortal Realm is less than one percent of the myriad worlds, it still has hundreds of continents of varying sizes and numerous planets. Countless beings are born in each era, and the cultivation environment here is even better. If there were no restrictions, there would probably be more powerful beings born here than in the myriad worlds!
A day later, Jianghe arrived outside "Cangwu Mountain".

"Cangwu Mountain" is located in a huge mountain range and is the highest mountain in this range that stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Its mountains are steep and rugged, with ancient pines growing on them, and the area above the halfway point disappears into the clouds.

Many masters were secretly cultivating in the surrounding area at the foot of the mountain.

Spiritual birds fly and sing on the mountain, weaving through the clouds and mist. Through the clouds and mist, one can vaguely see a huge palace complex built on the mountain peak, and soldiers in standard battle uniforms patrolling the edge of the clouds and mist.

These soldiers were all at the Great Sage Realm, forming a squad of a hundred men each. Among them, the centurion possessed a powerful aura and was estimated to have mastered three Great Daos, making him a "Three-Star Great Sage"!
"If even the patrolling soldiers are at the Great Saint Realm, then any commander-level expert must be at the Great Emperor Realm... No wonder he is a legendary figure among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

Jiang He sighed inwardly.

With a slight mental effort, he discovered that there were many Great Emperor-level beings, and even Ancestor-level and Invincible-level experts hiding in the vicinity of "Cangwu Mountain".

He leaped into the air and fell from the heavens, landing outside Cangwu Mountain.

Before Jiang He could speak, a streak of light flew over from afar, landed in front of him, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Is the newcomer Emperor Jiang He?"

"Invincible!"

Jiang He was startled, and judging from the man's aura, he should be a "human." He immediately replied and then asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, senior?"

The man was dressed in white, carrying a long spear. He looked to be in his thirties, with a dignified and imposing presence. He smiled and said, "My name is Qin Yun, the third disciple of Emperor Shun... River Emperor, please, my master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Qin Yun?

Jiang He had never heard of this name.

He was very polite and said, "Please trouble you to lead the way, senior."

However, he couldn't help but think to himself, "An era is more than ten million years, and with the ancestral star as its backdrop... it's normal for the human race to produce a large number of powerful individuals."

Some of these powerful figures left behind numerous legends, giving rise to the "myths" of their ancestral planet.

However, many others practice their spiritual cultivation in a low-key manner and do not leave their names.

Qin Yun led the way.

He led Jianghe up Cangwu Mountain, brought him to the gate of a grand hall, then clasped his hands in a respectful salute and said, "Master, Jianghe has arrived."

Immediately, Qin Yun took a few steps back, turned around, and left.

Inside the main hall, Emperor Shun stepped out.

Jiang He quickly bowed.

Emperor Shun smiled and said, "No need for formalities... Jiang He, come with me."

Jiang He followed Emperor Shun into the main hall, filled with curiosity, and asked, "Emperor Shun, why did you summon me to Cangwu Mountain? You said my name appeared in Emperor Yan's prophecy... What exactly did Emperor Yan prophesy? Was he really so extraordinary that he could see things tens of millions of years in the future?"

This hall is quite peculiar.

It forms its own space, but it is not the kind of small world with "mountains and water", but a gray and hazy world.

Emperor Shun continued walking forward.

Jianghe followed behind.

"That prophecy was passed down by Emperor Yan... but it was not the result of Emperor Yan's deduction, but rather a prophecy made by Emperor Fuxi."

"Fuxi, the Human Emperor?"

Jiang He was taken aback.

There were three human emperors: Suiren was the first human emperor, and Fuxi was the second human emperor.

Fuxi created the Eight Trigrams and was most skilled at deduction.

Emperor Shun said, "It was because of the prophecy of Emperor Fuxi that Emperor Yan went to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation... The prophecy said that this was the only chance to resolve the calamity of the era, but... Emperor Yan will surely perish because of this, and all hope rests on you."

"???"

Emperor Yan knew he would die because of opening the Six Paths of Reincarnation, yet he still went ahead and did it?

Is this the vision of a human emperor?
Jiang He pressed further, "Emperor Shun, what else did the prophecy say?"

Emperor Shun said, "That's all... What remains is what Emperor Yan instructed me to do. I didn't know the reason before, but after seeing you, I understand."

He waved his hand.

Wow!

The hazy fog ahead quickly dissipated.

What comes into view of the river is a tall tower.

The towering structure, its top invisible, stands deep within the misty hall, giving the impression that its summit could pierce through the entire hall.

Jiang He was startled, and couldn't help but think, "I didn't expect Emperor Shun to build a tall tower inside the main hall... Such a tall tower must be an extraordinary treasure, and it seems to contain a large number of immortal laws... Hmm?"

next moment.

Jiang He's expression changed slightly.

He felt an intense longing emanating from his own flesh and blood.

It was as if something inside that pagoda was drawing him in!
"The Law of Power!"

"The laws of power integrated into my body are trembling..."

and many more!

Jiang He looked at the pagoda again and exclaimed in surprise, "Emperor Shun... why is this pagoda so similar to the Trial Tower inside Tianmen Pass?"

"Because the Trial Tower is an integral part of this pagoda."

Emperor Shun laughed and said, "This tower was left by Emperor Yan and is called the Yan Emperor Tower. It has been passed down from generation to generation and finally passed to me by Emperor Yao... The prophecy left by Emperor Yan is hidden inside the Yan Emperor Tower."

"Following the prophecy, I created the Kunlun Realm, and then three eras ago, I collected and suppressed the Law of Power of all the heavens and myriad worlds within the Flame Emperor Tower."

"Two hundred thousand years ago, I removed the lower nine levels of the [Flame Emperor Tower] and sent them back to the heavens, placing them inside the [Heavenly Gate Pass] for future disciples to use in their trials."

Is this the origin of the "Trial Tower"?
The lower nine levels alone became a sacred place within the "Heavenly Gate Pass," greatly aiding martial artists below the "Sacred Realm" in their cultivation... Just how powerful would the complete [Flame Emperor Tower] be?
"Wait!" "Did Emperor Shun take away the laws of power from all the heavens and myriad realms?"

Jiang He realized what was happening.

No wonder that in the last two or three eras, no living being in the myriad realms has been able to achieve "physical sainthood"—it turns out that the source of all this is that the [Law of Power] no longer exists in the myriad realms!

He had a guess in his mind, but he still couldn't help asking, "Why did Emperor Shun do this?"

“I was just acting according to the prophecy left by the Human Emperor. I didn’t understand why I was doing this before… but after seeing you, I understand.”

Emperor Shun waved his hand again.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda in front of them trembled, and its gates opened wide instantly.

He said, "The Human Emperor left a prophecy, ordering me to intercept the [Law of Power] of all the heavens and myriad realms, all for the sake of your success... Jiang He, go in. Whether you can truly become an Emperor and an invincible ruler, perhaps the opportunity lies within the [Flame Emperor Tower]."

Jiang He hesitated, then asked, "Emperor Shun, are there any restrictions outside the Yanhuang Tower?"

The experience of venturing into the "Trial Tower" back then is still vivid in my mind.

Rivers are afraid they will be blocked by "bans" again.

If no one was present, it wouldn't be a problem... But Emperor Shun was watching from the sidelines. If he were to be turned away, it would be embarrassing.

Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no restrictions blocking the tower gate.

He stepped into the "Flame Emperor Tower".

The tower gate trembled and then crashed down.

Jiang He looked ahead and saw a plain. A thought struck him, and he muttered to himself, "This is just like the scene in the Trial Tower..."

Rumble!
The plains trembled.

At the edge of the plain, a large number of "demons" suddenly appeared, rushing towards the river in droves.

This familiar scene warmed Jiang He's heart.

"It was the same when I first entered the Trial Tower..."

"But back then I was extremely weak, yet now I have achieved physical sainthood and attained the status of a supreme emperor..."

of course.

His cultivation was suppressed as soon as he entered the "Xuanhuang Tower," and now he only has the physical strength of a "half-saint"... while the demons that rushed to kill him were also at the half-saint level.

Jiang He took a brief look.

The "force" suppressing him wasn't particularly strong... If he forced himself to unleash it, he could break free.

But not necessary.

"Throughout my cultivation, I, Jiang, have always been invincible within my own realm and even beyond it. A mere hundred great demons of the same realm are nothing to me, as easy as killing chickens!"

He flashed forward and took the initiative to meet the attack.

With three heads and six arms, it embodies the laws of heaven and earth!
He grew to a height of a hundred feet, and with a flick of his six arms, six imperial-grade longswords fell into his hands!

Jiang He didn't even use the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" or the "Great Sage Fist".

Holding an imperial-grade longsword, he unleashed the "Nine Sword Techniques," with all six swords moving simultaneously. Crimson sword energy swept across the plain, and within just a few breaths, the hundred half-saint realm demons fell to the ground.

The great demon's corpse evaporated, turning into wisps of mist that rose into the void.

Strands of the "Law of Force" descended from the void and merged into Jianghe's physical body.

"The Law of Power..."

Jiang He closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body.

“I used to be able to unleash 10 times my physical strength by activating the Law of Power... Now it’s still 10 times, but my physical strength seems to have increased quite a bit.”

On a whim, he opened the system properties panel.

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 26 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

[Power: 38800 Star Power]

"It only increased my physical base strength by about 50 Star Power?"

Jiang He frowned...

The physical strength boosted by 50 Star Power was significant, but... it clearly did not meet Jiang He's expectations.

He thought that after re-integrating into the "Law of Power," he could directly attain the realm of "Primordial Emperor," then become invincible, his strength would soar, he would break through the Immortal Realm, destroy everything, return to the Hell Realm to suppress the Realm Beasts, defy the Heavenly Dao Rules, and establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Call ~
Jiang He let out a long breath, suppressing his frustration. He felt a strange power envelop him, and the next moment...

He was then "guided" to the next level of the "Flame Emperor Tower".

This level is still a plain, with 100 semi-saint level demons.

However, the aura of these demons was significantly stronger than that of the previous level, with each of them reaching the level of "mid-level half-saint".

"pity."

"These demons are all conjured by the rules of the [Flame Emperor Tower], and are not real living beings. Otherwise, killing a hundred half-saint demons would have improved my strength."

To the rivers and lakes, even the semi-sacred realm is but an ant.

There is no difference between beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels.

He easily defeated a hundred powerful demons at the "mid-level semi-saint" level. After integrating the "Law of Power", his physical strength increased by "50 Star Power" again, and then he entered the next level.

It's still a plains world, but this time the 100 great demons that appeared were all at the "high-level semi-saint" level!
of course.

The suppression of Jiang He by the rules of the "Flame Emperor Tower" has also loosened, raising his "power" to the level of "high-level semi-saint".

Jiang He swept through the land, breaking through eight levels in a row. His physical strength increased by 400 star power, and he has begun to climb towards 4 star power.

hum!
He was led to the next floor.

The world before my eyes transformed into a starry sky.

In the center of the starry sky was an enormous white jade arena. On the arena stood a figure dressed in white, carrying a long spear on his back. He had his back to the river, but even from his back, he gave people a sense of unfathomable depth!
"Senior Qin Yun?"

Although it was only a silhouette, Jiang He still recognized the white-clad gunman.

next moment……

Jiang He then realized what was happening.

"guard!"

"Since the Trial Tower is part of the Xuanhuang Tower, the two must have something in common. When I reached the ninth level of the Trial Tower, I encountered Chen Wangting guarding it... Could it be that Qin Yun is the same?"

"This level should correspond to the first-star Great Saint Realm."

"Could it be that Qin Yun's strength is so formidable that he is the strongest one-star Great Saint in hundreds of thousands of years?"

Jiang He licked his lips, a fierce fighting spirit rising in his eyes.

He flew towards the white jade arena, his heart filled with anticipation: "I want to see just how strong the strongest one-star Great Sage in hundreds of thousands of years really is!" (End of Chapter)
