I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 338 Everything is ready, the Golden Emperor Peacock enters the Nine Netherworlds

"The Antarctic Immortal Emperor??"

Inside the Jade Void Palace during the Western Journey Tribulation.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting cautiously in front of Yuanshi Tianzun, exclaimed in surprise.

He was a little confused:

I don't quite understand what you mean.

Zhen Yuanzi began to have doubts. Was this Great Celestial Venerable trying to win him over and promising him a throne in the Fourth Era?

In his confusion, he saw the Primordial Heavenly Venerable stroking the jade ruyi, seemingly seeing through all his thoughts, his voice booming like a bell, accompanied by clear thunder in the Jade Void.

"Indeed, the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, but not the Antarctic Emperor of the Fourth Epoch."

Zhen Yuanzi paused for a moment, then carefully said, holding his teacup:

"Great Celestial Venerable, I don't quite understand what you mean."

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable gazed at him, with seventy-two colors of light intertwined behind him, and countless wondrous scenes unfolding within the overlapping universe that floated and sank around him.

The Great Celestial Venerable said:

"The Third Era has not yet ended. At the end of the Third Era and before the Fourth Era, a new Heavenly Emperor will be born. I want to invite you to be one of the Four Emperors of that new Emperor."

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, is it a matter of willingness or unwillingness?"

As they spoke, the Heaven-Opening Banner swayed, and Zhen Yuanzi shuddered violently, nodding hastily.

"How could I dare refuse the invitation from the Great Celestial Venerable?"

"But... I just don't understand."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhen Yuanzi finally asked:
"Who is this new emperor you speak of?"

"I."

Zhen Yuanzi stumbled.

for a long time.

He dared not look at the Great Celestial Venerable, his gaze fixed on the flickering candlelight, he pursed his dry lips, and asked one last question:
"But, Great Celestial Venerable, you...you cannot go to the present."

The Great Celestial Venerable laughed:
"I'm here right now."

Zhen Yuanzi looked up in astonishment and saw the Great Celestial Venerable lower his eyelids, and seventy-two colors of light gradually rose, blurring into an endless mist.

A faint sound, piercing through the layers of the universe, came from the mist and stirred the candlelight of the green lamp.

"In the present years, you will see me, and then you will know everything."

Zhen Yuanzi dared not speak further, and bowed deeply before the green lamp.

A similar scene occurred simultaneously in the Leiyin Temple's entrapment formation during a certain period of time, and on the summit of Kunlun Mountain in the most ancient years.

The summit of Kunlun.

Looking at the bowing Golden Emperor and Lu Ya, Zhou Mu said calmly:

“I know you two are puzzled, but you only need to know that I am both the Primordial Beginning and the reincarnation of that Chaotic Being—but the Primordial Beginning is not the Chaotic Being.”

"Now that we have come, which of you two is willing to take the position of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower?"

Lu Ya didn't answer, Jin Huang remained silent, their heads still buzzing—they were chatting just moments before.

How come you suddenly became the Primordial Celestial Venerable?
Zhou Mu smiled, unconcerned, and declared:

"Lu Ya Daojun, you shall take the place—perfect timing, you can return from your legitimate daughter's body to the present era, and you shall assume the position of the Eastern Emperor."

"Yes, the Golden Emperor."

The Golden Emperor hurriedly bowed:

"Heavenly Venerable, I am here."

Zhou Mu gazed at her and said with a smile:
"At this time, I have one more matter to ask."

"I will obey the Heavenly Venerable's orders."

"I want you to leave that Huangzhongli and go to that Yuxu Palace—behind the Yuxu Palace is a [Gate of Hell]. Pass through the Gate of Hell, and you will reach the Nine Netherworlds."

"Go to the Nine Netherworlds, go to the City of the Wrongfully Dead, go there to see me."

The Golden Emperor was puzzled, but he performed the grand ceremony and dared not utter a word.

The ethereal sounds echoed together within the confines of a certain Buddhist mountain.

"Peacock, after you break the seal, go to the Nine Netherworlds, to the City of the Wrongfully Dead, and you will see me there."

………………

In the center of the City of the Wrongfully Dead lies the Palace of the Nine Netherworld Emperor.

In the spacious hall, Shen Tu sat in the main seat, holding up the Six Paths of Reincarnation in his hands. To his side were four large seats.

These are the Lord of the Blood Sea, the Ancestral Candle Dragon, the Central Ghost Emperor, and Zhen Yuanzi.

The four powerful beings each had a different expression, while on the hall, beautiful ghosts sang and danced, their music never ceasing.

The Central Ghost Emperor's smile was forced and insincere.
"Shen Tu, isn't today your wedding day? Where is the bride?"

A mocking expression appeared on Shen Tu's face:
"I'm getting ready and will be arriving soon, but I forgot to tell you that my bride is Bao Zheng's third daughter."

The Central Ghost Emperor's smile froze.

His expression turned cold:
"So you're saying Bao Zheng went somewhere? Turns out he entered your City of the Wrongfully Dead?"

"No no no."

Shen Tu corrected:
"From now on, this city shall be called Fengdu—wherever I am, that is Fengdu."

His tone was extremely domineering, with an air of unquestionable authority. The Central Ghost Emperor's expression turned extremely gloomy, but in the end, he said nothing.

There's no other reason than that Shen Tu's current prowess is too overwhelming. He carries the power of severely injuring the master of the ultimate ancient land, and in addition, he holds the position of the Nine Netherworld. Zhou Qi really doesn't dare to face Shen Tu directly.

The Central Ghost Emperor is Zhou Qi.

In the hall, the Lord of the Blood Sea spoke in a cryptic tone:
“Fengdu. It seems that Fellow Daoist Shen Tu wants to become the new Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, but the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei is not dead yet.”

Shen Tu raised his eyelids slightly:
"Even if the Northern Emperor were to enter the Nine Netherworlds, let alone whether he could shake my power in the future."

He smiled and said:
"At that time, wasn't Zhou Qi the first person the Northern Emperor sought?"

As he spoke, Shen Tu pointed to the Central Ghost Emperor and said mockingly:

"Back then, you, Fellow Daoist Zhou Qi, contributed a lot to the matter of usurping the Northern Emperor's power."

The Central Ghost Emperor's face showed no change, remaining defiant:

"Not long ago, you were calling me 'Big Brother' all the time, how come you've changed to 'Fellow Daoist' now?"

Shen Tu's smile turned cold:
"This time, that time."

"Old man, times have changed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Six Paths of Reincarnation in his hand suddenly expanded, as if a fist formed by countless Yin ghosts was about to burst out from it!

The alluring ghost dancing in the hall trembled with fear; terrifying energy clashed and collided in the void.
The Lord of the Blood Sea was blinded, the Abyssal Demon roared, the Central Ghost Emperor raised his head, and the distant city of Fengdu appeared in his palm at some unknown time.

Fengdu City is not only a city, but also a treasure that surpasses the Great Luo Ancestral Artifact and approaches the level of a "Supreme Treasure".

One to two.

The situation within the hall grew increasingly tense, with Shen Tu, the Lord of the Blood Sea, and the Central Ghost Emperor locked in a fierce confrontation, neither willing to yield.

Zhen Yuanzi lowered his brows, while Zu Zhulong watched quietly. He saw the killing intent in the hall reach a certain limit, and he knew that the two sides were about to fight each other!

"enough."

The shouts rang out, the buzzing Avici Yuantu suddenly fell silent, the murderous intent surging in Fengdu City returned to normal, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation in Shen Tu's hands also stopped turning.

The three powerful beings glanced at the speaker, Zhulong [Zhujiuyin], and all maintained the most basic respect for him—Zhulong Zhujiuyin was the earliest, the first, and the first Lord of the Nine Netherworlds in the Great Era.

Even if the Goddess Houtu herself came, she would still nod and call out to Zhu Jiuyin as a fellow Daoist.

With his eyes slightly raised, the entire Nine Netherworld was illuminated, and Zhu Jiuyin said in a low voice:

"I learned not long ago that Shen Tu had taken control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and ascended to the position of Lord of the Nine Netherworlds."

The Central Ghost Emperor frowned, about to ask a question, but Zhu Jiuyin raised his hand to stop him and continued:
"The Goddess Houtu once issued a decree to me to support Shen Tu as the new ruler of the Nine Netherworlds."

The Lord of the Blood Sea's expression changed drastically, the Central Ghost Emperor fell silent, and Zhen Yuanzi remained head down, as if his entire mind was focused on another realm.

As for Shen Tu, he grinned.

"Empress Houtu." The Central Ghost Emperor took a deep breath, his expression extremely grim: "Is what you say true, fellow Daoist?"

Are you questioning me?

"I wouldn't dare." Zhu Jiuyin snorted, his eyes opening and closing, the outside of the hall flickering with light and shadow—the entire Nine Netherworld was shimmering.

The Nine Nether Candle he spoke of glowed, and his voice was slow and deliberate:

"If it weren't for the blessing from the Goddess Houtu, do you think Shen Tu could have controlled the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

After pausing for a moment, Zhu Jiuyin looked around:
"The will of the Goddess Houtu is very clear: conquer the mortal realm through the Naihe Bridge on the back of the Black Bird. In this process, Shen Tu should be the leader. With the Six Paths of Reincarnation before us, seeing Fellow Daoist Shen Tu is like seeing the Goddess Houtu."

The Central Ghost Emperor tried to speak several times, but swallowed his words each time. His lips twitched, but he dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.
Meanwhile, Shen Tu, seated on the throne, was laughing heartily:
"Today is my wedding day. Let us first complete the wedding ceremony before discussing the conquest of the mortal realm."

As he spoke, he stroked the Six Paths of Reincarnation in his hand, his voice suddenly becoming solemn, yet carrying a hint of amusement and eagerness:

"To be honest, if it were just about marrying Bao Zheng's third daughter, why would I be making such a fuss? There are two reasons for my wedding today."

The Central Ghost Emperor snorted:
"Since things have come to this point, why keep us in suspense any longer? Just tell us straight!"

Shen Tu didn't mind at all, and his smile grew even brighter:
"Today, my marriage is arranged, firstly with the legitimate daughter of Bao Zheng, the former King of Hell, and secondly with..."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of his head.

The powerful beings in the hall, as well as the Southern Ghost Emperor, the Western Ghost Emperor, and other Great Luo Immortals who had just arrived, were all taken aback, except for Zhu Jiuyin, who already knew about it.

Immediately, the Central Ghost Emperor's expression changed:

"A black bird??"

"Of course."

Shen Tu waved his sleeves, his imperial robes fluttering loudly. His power was as deep as the ocean, his influence reaching the depths of the netherworld. His voice was like primordial thunder, resounding endlessly!

"Now that I have ascended to the position of Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, my wife should be of high rank. Looking across the Nine Netherworlds, none other than the Black Bird is suitable. I will marry this Black Bird, and our positions will be aligned. The Bridge of Helplessness will then be completed and expanded."

"At that time, even those with great supernatural powers could cross the bridge and enter the mortal world!"

The Lord of the Blood Sea couldn't help but ask:

"Black Bird, are you willing?"

Shen Tu looked at him with surprise:
"What does this matter have to do with her?"

"I am willing, isn't that enough?"

Even the Central Ghost Emperor couldn't hold back any longer:
"The black bird cried out not long ago?"

Shen Tu shook his head and said calmly:

"This matter is indeed somewhat strange and peculiar, but since I am now the master of the Nine Netherworlds, the mere Xuan Bird cannot stir up any trouble. In the end, it is nothing more than a Great Luo Immortal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tu clapped his hands, summoned a servant, and casually gave the order:

"Tell Third Sister to prepare. In an hour, we will be married—not in this imperial palace, but in the heavens, on the back of that half-black bird."

"This is my grand wedding with Third Sister, and also my grand wedding with Black Bird!"

………………

Side hall.

"An hour later," the Third Miss listened to the servant's report, somewhat lost in thought, her fair hands constantly kneading.

She subconsciously glanced to the side and looked at the young man who had just entered the side hall a moment ago and was now sitting there leisurely peeling an orange.

No one knows where these oranges came from in the Nine Netherworlds.

Zhou Mu popped a segment of orange into his mouth and chewed, savoring the sweetness of this sacred spiritual plant. He exhaled a breath of pure, clear air.
Raising his eyelids, he saw the servant who had come to report leave the hall and close the door.

"Why are you all staring at me?" Zhou Mu frowned.

The old blind man swallowed hard, not daring to speak.
Beside him, Bao Zheng, who had been observing Zhou Mu closely, frowned and cautiously asked:

"May I ask your Excellency?"

He felt that the young man looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.

Zhou Mu smiled and stuffed the rest of the oranges into his mouth. In that short moment, he had already met the Primordial Daoist and the Spirit Treasure Daoist.

Three eternal monuments, three stone tablets inscribed with the words: "At the end of the third era, before the fourth, Emperor Zhou Mu possessed the qualities of a Heavenly Emperor."

It has quietly entered the fundamental place of the great world.

In other words, he already possesses the qualifications to become the Heavenly Emperor, and the Four Emperors have been appointed, so he can become the Heavenly Emperor at any time.

The only difference is cultivation level.

It is merely that the Great Crimson Body that advances to the level of a Saint, and then the three bodies can be unified and transformed into the Great Luo!

At that time, if Zhou Mu were to ascend to the Heavenly Emperor's throne again in his Primordial Body, that body would even be able to directly enter the realm of the [Great Divine Power]!

The only problem now is how to break through to the Divine Realm in the shortest possible time with the Great Crimson Body?

Thinking it over, Zhou Mu wiped his hands, brushed away the remaining orange juice from between his palms, raised his eyes, glanced at the reserved-looking Bao Zheng, and said with a smile:
Does it matter who I am?

A hint of hesitation flashed across Bao Zheng's face. In his perception, this person's aura was not strong, but according to the fortune teller...
Zhou Mu snapped his fingers, and the aura that had pierced the old blind man vanished silently. He asked:
"Made by Shen Tu?"

"Yes, that's right." The old blind man landed on the ground, breathing heavily. "Shen Tu wanted to torture me before."

"If it weren't for touching the sacred imprint deep within my soul, and if it weren't for the arrival of so many powerful beings who temporarily preoccupied Shen Tu, otherwise..."

Zhou Mu smiled but did not answer, turning his gaze to the third young lady:

"You really don't want to marry Shen Tu?"

"Yes, in response to your question." The third young lady imitated the old blind man, carefully performing the proper greeting. Although she didn't know who the person before her was, judging from the fortune teller's demeanor and the ease with which he spoke of Shen Tu,
It's probably someone with a background far greater than we can imagine.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Zhou Mu snapped his fingers again, and the Third Miss felt a lightness all over her body. The heavy phoenix coronet and wedding robes were gone, replaced by a snow-white dress.

When she looked up again, she was astonished to find that there was someone else in the side hall, who had transformed into her likeness, wearing a wind crown and a rosy robe.

"Then I will go and get married in your place."

The newly arrived [Da Chi Zhou Mu], dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, with the face of the Third Miss, spoke thus.

Of the three true forms, the Primordial Form corresponds to [Heaven], the Heavenly Form corresponds to the mortal realm, and the Great Naked Form, which has not yet broken through to the Divine Realm, corresponds to [Earth], which is the [Nine Netherworlds].

The fastest way to become a saint is to personally visit the Netherworld.

Next, all that's needed is for the Great Naked Body to meet his elder sister and take over her position as the Nine Netherworld Mystic Bird. Then, the Great Naked Body will become a deity.

Until then.

He entered the Great Luo with three bodies, seized the Six Paths of Reincarnation with his naked body and took control of the Nine Netherworlds, and ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor by standing among the Four Emperors.

Two of the Three Realms are entirely under one's control; two of the Three Bodies are both transformed into [Great Supernatural Beings].

All that is needed is for him to regain his divine power and rule over the human world, thus entering the realm of great supernatural beings, and finally, return to oneness once more.

The supreme one is thus proven.

The premise is that everything goes smoothly.

Tongtian Zhou Mu sat in a chair, with Da Chi Zhou Mu, who had transformed into the Third Miss, beside him.

Another orange appeared in his hand, and he peeled it while smiling.

"An hour will pass in the blink of an eye."

"Let's go, let's get married."

He stood up and, like a flower girl, accompanied the 'Third Miss'. The two walked side by side towards the outside of the hall.

Bao Zheng suddenly awoke with a start. Without thinking, he instructed his real third daughter to hide well, and then chased after them with Zhong Kui.

As the father, he naturally had to be present at his daughter's wedding.

However, before they could even leave the side hall, Bao Zheng and Zhong Kui were stopped.

“Someone will go in your place,” Zhou Mu said, turning his head.

Bao Zheng looked over and saw a familiar woman and a proud young man.

They transformed into Zhong Kui and their own likenesses.

in this way.

As the hall doors swung open with a deafening roar, powerful cultivators who were about to ascend to the back of the Black Bird turned to look.
I saw a 'bride' in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, a cautious 'Bao Zheng', and also 'Zhong Kui' and an unknown young man, each holding a flower basket, accompanying each other.

Zhen Yuanzi frowned.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he saw the young man holding the flower basket smile brightly at him and even move his lips.

It's like saying
"The Antarctic Emperor of Immortality".

Zhen Yuanzi's scalp tingled.
