This is not how immortals cultivate

That's all for today's copying of Chapter 460.
Xiang Yuan originally had no objection to the top leader of the Celestial Realm, but ever since he learned that this thing coveted Master Jingyun's long legs, he has had a lot of objections. He is full of rebellious spirit and can be called the number one traitor.

The Lingxiao Palace did not exist long ago; it has been passed down through generations of emperors.

One day, we'll storm the Lingxiao Palace and seize that bastard's throne!
Consequently, the term for the Heavenly Emperor also came to mean "shameless."

He meant nothing by it, but as someone who respects his teacher, he felt wronged for Master Jingyun. How could she drink like this after just a few dishes?

If possible, Xiang Yuan didn't want to support such a shameless person. Seeing that other Heavenly Courts were attacking, he even had the idea that leading the way was not out of the question as long as the price could be agreed upon.

But this time it didn't work. Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor on the other side only had nine fingers, Xiang Yuan immediately became loyal and cheered for the shameless man.

There's no other reason than that he cut off that finger.

When they descended to the Abyss Realm, an unknown Heavenly Court descended. Bai Wuyan and Su Ran Sword Master joined forces to drive them away, but because the two had exhausted themselves in the previous battle, they were powerless to stop the Heavenly Court from descending.

Xiang Yuan unleashed his trump card: the light of chaos transformed into a blade, striking the heavens and severing a finger of the unknown Heavenly Emperor, leaving this high and mighty ruler forever incomplete.

The world is so big, there must be a way to make amends, but for a high and mighty Heavenly Emperor, what a great enmity it is to have one's body mutilated!

The conflict could not be resolved, and that's how the feud began.

Xiang Yuan didn't even need to judge others by his own standards. Just look at the few arrogant people he'd met, like Bai Wuyan, whose mind was as small as a pinhead and who never held a grudge overnight. Every time Xiang Yuan offended her or failed to appease her, he would immediately be met with a beating and a barrage of scratches and claws.

The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's method of retaliating against Xiang Yuan will certainly not be the same as the White House Lord's method of scratching back.

He wanted to scratch, but Xiang Yuan wasn't happy about it!
The majesty of the Heavenly Emperor cannot be challenged. Anyone who injures the Heavenly Emperor will surely die without a burial place and be doomed forever.

Xiang Yuan had no choice but to be a loyal Zhenwu Emperor and support the shameless scoundrel.

loyalty!

Frieza's worth is beyond question. In the omnipotent world of the gods, she has always been independent and self-reliant, not bound by the laws of heaven and earth. She is an ally that the omnipotent god highly values.

Another known independent self, who can come and go as he pleases, is Laozi (Taishang Laojun).

I'll do whatever I want!
Thanks to Jingyun's protection, Xiang Yuan and Baiyue Jushi not only kept Chongting Realm from being affected by the battle between the two Heavenly Emperors, but also had the opportunity to watch the battle up close.

Because the Heavenly Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor, born as such, there is no need for a name. To distinguish between them, Xiang Yuan loyally calls the shameless one the Heavenly Emperor, and contemptuously refers to the other one as the incomplete Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor.

With Frieza's protective shield, Xiang Yuan could calmly observe this earth-shattering battle. Only when he calmed down did he realize that although both were Heavenly Emperors in their divine forms and both wore imperial robes, their divine forms were quite different due to their drastically different circumstances.

The Heavenly Emperor, imitating the ancient Heavenly Court, established a demon emperor avatar. The golden imperial shadow was filled with boundless battle intent, surrounded by nine great suns. As his robes fluttered, it seemed as if golden crows were crying out, exuding a violent aura that could burn the eight wastelands.
The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's Dharma form is close to the Dao, transcending the mundane world. His aura is ethereal, his eyes are indifferent, and with a wave of his hand, the laws of the three thousand heavens and earth fall like necklaces.

When the auras of the two Dharma images clashed, the immeasurable laws of heaven and earth collided and clashed, and boundless strange phenomena appeared, immersing people in the scene and making it difficult for them to calm their minds for a long time.

Unfortunately, these laws of heaven and earth belong only to the Heavenly Emperor; even if others see them, they cannot learn them, let alone master them.

Xiang Yuan felt a pang of regret. He had come to these two large supermarkets with nothing in his pocket, yet he couldn't leave with a full belly. What was the difference between him and someone who hadn't found any money on the street?
What a loss!
Just as he was annoyed by the Heavenly Emperor's selfishness, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

It seems he can learn it!

The two Heavenly Emperors clashed, and the battlefield was located in the Chongting Realm. The laws of heaven and earth overflowed from the collision, teaching the lowly Chongting Realm people a lesson, while also distorting the Chongting Realm and causing it to ascend to a higher dimension.

The Chongting Realm was loaded with a large number of laws and principles of heaven and earth. Sometimes it was in the shape of the Heavenly Emperor, sometimes in the shape of the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor, and sometimes in the shape of two Heavenly Emperors. It was tossed around and tossed about, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

Although something is not quite right, that's the general idea. The two Heavenly Emperors' principles were too great, changing the shape of the Chongting Realm and injecting a large amount of the laws of heaven and earth.

As Chongting Realm absorbed and integrated these principles of heaven and earth, it completed its upgrade. Xiang Yuanyin, possessing the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed, had the authority to govern the principles of heaven and earth in Chongting Realm and could learn and master the principles of heaven and earth that were spilled out during the battle between the two Heavenly Emperors.

boom!
With abundant resources at hand, the progress bar for the fusion phase is advancing at a visible speed.

Good heavens, is there really such a thing as a free lunch?

Xiang Yuan has long been experienced in expecting free lunches, and he knows without a doubt that there are no such good things in life. In the end, it's all about scheming.

The one who plotted against him this time was Master Jingyun.

Jingyun knew that the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed was hidden in Chongting Realm. She didn't tell the Heavenly Emperor, but only told Xiang Yuan. She also knew in advance that the two Heavenly Emperors would meet in Chongting Realm. When she bestowed the jade belt, she reminded Xiang Yuan to take the opportunity first and then open the ascension channel.

Xiang Yuan didn't understand what was so special about Chongting Realm, and he couldn't possibly guess that picking up the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed next to the Demon Emperor's remains would give him the opportunity to go on a shopping spree. But he knew that Jing Yun definitely knew.

Every step was calculated!
Considering that Master Jingyun is tall and shrewd, Xiang Yuan would rather call her a rich woman who feeds him.

As for who Frieza was plotting against, Xiang Yuan figured he was probably just getting a free ride; the real targets were the two Heavenly Emperors…

Why is King Frieza plotting against the two kings of heaven?
The Queen Mother of the West's invitation to the Emperor of Heaven angered King Frieza, who no longer wanted to be a shareholder and was preparing to become the Empress.
Or perhaps, he would support his own respected disciple to become the Heavenly Emperor?

No way, becoming the Heavenly Emperor isn't something you can just decide to do. You either have to be born as the Heavenly Emperor or be the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor. There are no other possibilities, and even possessing the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Seed won't work.

Xiang Yuan understands such a simple principle, so King Frieza should understand it very well.

Xiang Yuan was puzzled, knowing that this was not a question he could guess at the moment, so he kept it to himself to avoid saying something that might ruin the king's plans.

Let’s watch the show first!
Bah! Let's first see the earth-shattering battle. Which Heavenly Emperor got his brains smashed today?

boom!
Having lost a move in the previous exchange, the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor launched the first attack.

The Emperor's golden robes fluttered in the wind, and the three thousand Heavenly Dao principles descended upon the Milky Way. Each ray of starlight was as heavy as ten thousand pounds, containing the supreme laws of its associated world, which could easily freeze spacetime and modify the will of all living beings.

Unfazed, the Heavenly Emperor roared with laughter as the true fire of the sun, capable of burning the eight wastelands, erupted with a deafening roar. Crimson flames surged upwards, gilding the Milky Way with a layer of golden brilliance.

From afar, it looks as if the entire sky has been set ablaze, transforming into a magnificent ocean of interwoven gold and fire.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, countless golden fire crows flapped their wings and cried out. There were as many golden fire crows as there were stars in the Milky Way. The true fire of the sun was pure to the extreme, and also extremely powerful. Even the laws of heaven were scorched and distorted.

The previous tests had already been conducted. The two Heavenly Emperors revealed their true forms and unleashed powerful attacks, leaving Xiang Yuan, who was shopping at the supermarket nearby, completely mesmerized. For a moment, even the Guanyin Bodhisattva in his arms lost her appeal.

The White Moon Hermit did not receive the privilege of learning whatever he saw from afar; he closed his eyes and sealed his senses, not daring to spy on the battle between the two Heavenly Emperors.

The situation on the field changed repeatedly.

The principles of Heaven and Earth are intertwined, forming a vast and intricate web. Countless stars illuminate the ever-evolving and profound principles of the universe. Yin and Yang energies flow in a circular pattern, the Five Elements generate and transform all things, and countless mysterious characters gather and disperse, like the true words of Heaven, imprinting layers of principles in the void.

These principles, layered upon each other, eventually transformed into a colossal golden hand that blotted out the sky, its palm lines forming countless laws, which pressed down upon the rampaging golden fire crows.

The fire crow flapped its wings and cried out, its blazing golden flames pouring down like a celestial river, each wisp of flame capable of melting stars and burning the void.

But at this moment, the ferocious power that was enough to incinerate an entire world could only scorch ripples on the surface of the Heavenly Net.

The laws of Heaven are vast and boundless. Whenever a chain formed by a law is destroyed, a new law immediately emerges from the depths of the void to fill the void, just like the moon reflecting on ten thousand rivers. The rivers flow endlessly and cannot be stopped, but the moon's reflection remains forever, enduring through the ages.

As the net tightens, the fire crows' room to maneuver becomes increasingly cramped, making it harder for them to run rampant.

The golden fire crow seemed to be annoyed, raising its head and spitting out nine illusory suns. Within each sun, countless calamities such as the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields and the fall of stars were manifested, thus twisting the net of heaven and earth.

Unsuccessful!

The laws of Heaven are ever-renewing, remaining as steadfast as a rock despite the raging flames of calamity.

"唳——"

Countless fire crows gathered together, transforming into a golden crow phantom with wingspans of ten thousand feet. Every feather flowed with domineering power capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas. Its wings spread out thousands of dazzling light patterns, scorching the net of heaven and earth with winding cracks.

As the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a thunderous roar suddenly resounded from the heavens.

The purple lightning, like divine punishment, struck down from the endless heights. Each bolt of lightning contained the ultimate truth of the heavens, bombarding the golden crow's fiery feathers and colliding fiercely with the ever-bursting true fire of the sun.

What collided was not flames and thunder, but rather two completely different ways of heaven waging war against each other.

On one hand, there is the boundless power of creation contained within the majestic might of heaven; no matter how boundless your divine power, I have my own methods of transformation, endless evolution, and ceaseless life.
On the other side is a violent destruction that burns the eight wastelands. No matter how you change, I have the power to break all laws and burn away all shackles with the flames that incinerate the world.

The laws of Heaven constantly collapse and recombine, and strange phenomena appear in the void. Sometimes the sun and moon are in the same sky, illuminating eternity; sometimes a blue lotus blooms, pure and immaculate; sometimes it transforms into a boundless pure land, with the sound of chanting; and in an instant, it becomes a molten lava inferno, with karmic fire raging... The two are locked in a struggle, and the Chongting Realm continues to deform, being stretched larger and larger.

In the end, the golden crow's phantom dimmed by three points, and the laws of heaven also showed signs of weakness. The two sides were entangled and changed, just like the yin and yang fish chasing each other head to tail, and neither could do anything to the other.

Xiang Yuan went on a shopping spree at the supermarket, only realizing after the battle stopped that this battle had unknowingly lasted for three whole days.

Learning makes him happy!

Neither of the two Heavenly Emperors were satisfied with this. With their Dharma forms locked in a stalemate, they unleashed Heavenly Emperor-level magical treasures to begin their battle.

Nine-Finger Emperor's gaze sharpened, and a frameless mirror suddenly appeared in his sleeve. Chaotic mist surged around the edge of the mirror, and billions of stars shone on its surface, each ray of starlight reflecting a different world.

There are galaxies collapsing, there is the beginning of creation, and there is also a illusory lower realm under control; all things flow within it.

This mirror, though nameless, caused the entire Chongting Realm to tremble, as if even King Frieza could not protect it and had to retreat and temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image sneered and then unleashed a giant crimson-gold banner.

The banner is embroidered with a magnificent totem of the golden crow transforming into the sun, and the grand scene of all demons paying homage is vividly depicted. Twelve tassels hang down from the end of the banner, each wrapped with the true fire of the sun that burns the sky and boils the sea. With a gentle sway, they cause the void to distort and collapse.

boom!
The starlight in the mirror transformed into a tangible galaxy, each star containing destructive power; the golden crow broke free of the banner and roared through the nine heavens, leading the phantoms of ten thousand demons across the galaxy, and wherever it passed, the stars collapsed one by one.

Countless meteors streaked across the sky, the golden crow flapped its wings, flames and starlight intertwined, the space at the point of collision was directly annihilated into a void black hole, the aftershocks also evaporated the many strange phenomena born from the law into glass-like crystals, which then drifted into the void.

The two treasures remained locked in a stalemate, neither gaining the upper hand.

Just then, a hazy gray blade of light suddenly appeared in the mirror. As the starlight and shadows on the mirror's surface were polished, its false appearance was shed, and it returned to its original form of chaotic light.

Nine-Finger Emperor's eyes turned cold, and his incomplete right hand suddenly formed a hand seal, from which a wisp of chaotic sword energy burst forth.

"Break!"

The sword energy pierced through the air, ignoring the obstruction of the Golden Crow and Ten Thousand Demons, and directly struck the crimson-gold giant banner.

With a hissing sound, the giant banner trembled, and a hideous gash was torn open on its surface. The true fire of the sun at the end of the banner splattered like blood, and the phantoms of ten thousand demons cried out and dissipated. Only the Golden Crow remained, struggling alone in the sea of ​​stars.

Xiang Yuan: ∑(д;
No, have you paid the copyright fees?

If you haven't paid, go to the Qianyuan Realm's Benxin Dao to settle your account.

I've always copied others, this is the first time I've been copied by someone else.

It must be said that the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor's imitation is very accurate. This chaotic light is so lifelike that it is 90% similar, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

It's him; anyone else would have a hard time distinguishing between the real and the fake.

Unfortunately, that missing 10% is the key.

The Chaos Light simulated by the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor was based on the fact that he himself had been stabbed and the Xuanjing had also been stabbed. He barely managed to copy a rough version by reversing the laws of the Heavenly Dao of a realm.

However, this chaotic sword energy was indeed powerful enough, especially with the Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor in charge of the Heavenly Dao Laws of the Upper Realm. The missing ten percent was made up with his own cultivation, and with just one strike, he destroyed the giant banner, tearing open a huge gap.

The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image's expression changed slightly. He had won one move first, then another, and was clearly on the verge of victory, yet he lost a great advantage at the last moment.

The Heavenly Emperor could not tolerate losing a move to so many immortals and gods in both realms, especially to his own subordinate. In his fury, he was determined to win back the favor.

The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image raised his hand and waved it away, clearing the gap in the giant banner. With a thunderous roar, the banner shook, and a beam of chaotic light also cleaved down.

He can plagiarize too!

The Heavenly Emperor's aptitude and comprehension are on a different level from ordinary people and cannot be measured by common sense. Xiang Yuan underwent several blood and marrow cleansings and relied on his own efforts to gain the ability to learn anything quickly. The Heavenly Emperor, however, was different. He possessed countless supernatural powers from the moment he was born.

All the laws of the world can be mastered after just one look, and become proficient after just a couple of tries. There is no need for the arduous cultivation and enlightenment of ordinary people.

Therefore, when the Nine-Finger Heavenly Emperor was struck twice by Xiang Yuan, he simulated the light of chaos. When the Heavenly Emperor was struck by the Nine-Finger Heavenly Emperor's sword, he also reversed the process and, in the blink of an eye, also created a chaotic sword aura.

The situation spiraled out of control!

The golden crow has stopped flying, the laws have stopped turning, piracy is rampant, and chaos is running rampant.

The two pirates were locked in a fierce battle, unleashing chaotic sword energy in rapid succession, exchanging blows as if they were throwing money around.

Sword energies clashed, the void shattered, and chaotic currents shot out in all directions.

At its most outrageous point, the two Heavenly Emperors practiced their skills by fighting each other, and even copied each other's Chaos Sword Qi. Each move became more and more refined. At first, they were similar in form but not in spirit, but later they developed their own paths, and their destructive power was almost no less than that of the original.

Xiang Yuan: (Д≡Д)
No, where do so many pirated copies come from? Does that mean the Heavenly Emperor can do whatever he wants and openly steal other people's skills?

"Hahaha----"

The Heavenly Emperor laughed loudly, flicked his sleeve, and chaotic sword energy flowed in his palm. He said arrogantly, "You false emperor, you've fallen for my scheme! I knew you had this method, and deliberately created a flaw. Now that I have it, let's see how you still flaunt your power!"

He smiled slightly, as if he had everything under control, and even his tone was calm and confident.

I didn't lose; I used a trick!
win!
"You false emperor, you are utterly hypocritical and shameless. I have not seen any scheme, only a clown talking to himself." The Nine-Fingered Heavenly Emperor sneered disdainfully.

You've lost, and there's no point in denying it!

The two sides had reached the point of exchanging blows using each other's skills, which clearly made it impossible to continue. After assessing each other's strength and abilities, they realized they were formidable opponents and decided to stop fighting and leave.

It's unlikely to win in a head-on, one-on-one fight; I need to go back and devise a scheme, a trap, and see what trump cards I can use.

The two Heavenly Emperors departed, but the ascension passage above the Chongting Realm did not dissipate. Both Heavenly Courts of the Upper Realm locked onto this realm, using it as a buffer zone, and both had the idea of ​​merging similar entities.

Eat him, and I'll level up!

"The interdimensional war has begun..."

Xiang Yuan murmured to himself, never expecting that simply accepting a task related to belts would lead to a war between the two upper realms.

The Heavenly Emperor has departed, but the laws of Heaven have not dissipated. They lie dormant in the Chongting Realm, gradually transforming it into the Heavenly Emperor's domain. Both sides continue to increase their bets, allowing Xiang Yuan to thoroughly enjoy copying.

After watching the battle of wits for three days and three nights, he copied too much and his head was buzzing. He needed to sit down and rest for a while to sort out and summarize what he had learned.

That's all for today.

See you next time!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The realm of gods, atop Mount Kunlun.

Xiang Yuan knelt down with a thud, on the verge of tears, and pitifully said, "Master, you've really put your disciple through a lot!"

Can the laws of the Heavenly Emperor be copied at will? No matter who wins or loses in the future, neither of these two Heavenly Emperors will let him off the hook.

Faced with this behavior of complaining even after getting a good deal, Jingyun was too lazy to pay attention and said succinctly, "Don't go around lately. The Heavenly God Realm is about to change. If they can't find you then, the True Martial Emperor's divine position will probably be removed."

Even without Jingyun's reminder, Xiang Yuan knew that with the interdimensional war underway, the entire Celestial Realm had entered a state of mass troop deployment, and everyone was in complete chaos. If he were to abandon his post at this time, the True Martial Emperor's desk and his two secretaries would be at risk of losing their boss.

There are cows!
Xiang Yuan had no plans to leave the Celestial Realm anytime soon. His intuition told him that neither of the two Celestial Emperors were patient, and that a war between planes would break out soon.

“Master, I have observed the two Heavenly Emperors—no, the Heavenly Emperor and that false emperor—fighting, and there are many things I do not understand. I hope you will be kind enough to explain them to me.”

Xiang Yuanteng jumped up, went to the table, took out the phoenix feather fan and turned it on to blower mode: "For example, what is the name of the world where that pseudo-emperor is located?"

"The Divine Firmament Realm".
