I am the first emperor of the ancient times

Chu Feng looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky, trying to guess the identity of the tall, imposing man.

He had witnessed the Empress being chased by strange creatures, and now, in these strange phenomena, those terrifying creatures were also of the strange race.

This made him wonder if the imposing man was related to the Heavenly Court, or if he, like the Empress, was a supreme being within the Heavenly Court.

Having witnessed such strange phenomena twice in a row, he had a premonition that everything from the past was about to unveil its mystery to him.

“It’s the Azure Emperor!” Ye Qingxian said.

Unlike the strange phenomena left behind by the Empress in the past, the strange phenomena that appeared this time were clearly visible.

He immediately recognized the imposing man, who was none other than the Azure Emperor, one of the many Heavenly Emperors.

Upon hearing Ye Qingxian's words, Chu Feng and the others all stared intently at the strange phenomenon in the sky, afraid of missing any detail.

Even though they already had their suspicions, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional when Ye Qingxian confirmed it.

This was actually a Heavenly Emperor, just like the Empress of yesteryear, being hunted down by a powerful member of the Mysterious Clan.

At the same time, strange phenomena occurred, with blood raining down. Under the siege of numerous bizarre creatures, the imposing man had vanished.

Instead, a blue lotus pierced the sky, with only three leaves, yet it contained the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things!
A primordial blue lotus swayed, breaking through the sky, its rays scattering and forging mysterious symbols in the void.

The runes were a vibrant, emerald green, shrouded in boundless chaotic energy, dazzling and captivating.

Then, a lotus leaf fell, seemingly containing an unimaginable aura.

With a deafening roar, the lotus leaves slammed down, suppressing all the strange creatures that had been attacking.

Immediately afterwards, the blue lotus swayed, shrank to only a little over half a zhang in size, then transformed into a beam of emerald light, tore through the void, and disappeared.

Of course, after the strange creature was suppressed, the lotus leaf was shattered and fell completely, leaving no trace.

This scene was so shocking that countless people wondered if this was the outcome of that prehistoric war.
Even beings like the Azure Emperor are facing a bizarre pursuit, which makes them even more curious about what exactly happened to the Heavenly Court back then.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt, the strange phenomenon completely disappeared, the eerie substance was completely eliminated, and on the path of reincarnation, only a wisp of green hung in the air.

Upon seeing this, the powerful beings in the mortal realm were all excited. Everyone knew that this touch of green was related to that supreme being.

But the next moment, the void began to heal continuously, and the cycle of reincarnation and that touch of green had disappeared.

At the same time, a familiar voice rang in Ye Qingxian and Chu Feng's ears.

"The bizarre and supreme has been destroyed. This is an opportunity not to be missed. You should quickly seize the ancient artifacts of the Great Dao and unify the mortal realm."

This voice came from Ying Hao, and the healing of the void connected to the cycle of reincarnation was also his doing.

His reason for having Ye Qingxian activate Ye Fan's power was twofold: to annihilate the Supreme Mystery and bewilder the Mysterious Clan, and also to establish the authority of the Heavenly Court.

After this battle, the Heavenly Court's prestige in the mortal realm was unmatched, and no one dared to contend with it.

Taking this opportunity, the Heavenly Court could acquire the three ancient artifacts of the Great Dao and thus unify the mortal realm.

He had already arranged everything; the rest of the affairs in the mortal realm could be left to Chu Feng.

As for himself, he had already arrived on the path of reincarnation, and stood before that patch of green.

Looking at that greenery, he felt a familiar presence and fell into reminiscence.

Just as Ye Qingxian said, that figure was none other than the Azure Emperor, and the strange phenomenon just now was a scene of the Azure Emperor being chased by a bizarre creature.

This touch of green is a remnant left by the Azure Emperor in suppressing the strange phenomenon; it is a fragment of a lotus leaf.

Because Ye Qingxian intervened, she accidentally triggered a lotus leaf fragment on the Cycle of Reincarnation, causing the lotus leaf to exhibit an unusual phenomenon that revealed scenes from the past. Aside from Wushi and the Ruthless One, he originally had no intention of deliberately searching for the other Great Emperors.

But Chu Feng truly lived up to his reputation as the protagonist of this era; as long as you stayed by his side, you could always find clues about other people.

Using this lotus leaf fragment and its aura as a guide, he could naturally find the whereabouts of the Azure Emperor.

As I pondered, that touch of green ceased to sway, transforming into shattered lotus leaves that fell into my hand.

With a thought, he used the aura emanating from the lotus leaf as a guide to instantly sense the direction in which the Azure Emperor was located.

Coincidentally, the direction where the Azure Emperor was located was not far from his, which was the end of the cycle of reincarnation beneath his feet.

With one step, his figure transcended time and space, disappearing into the cycle of reincarnation.

The next moment, he arrived at a dilapidated ancient temple, surrounded by very ancient traces, remnants of a long time ago.

Some of the stone surfaces are engraved with characters, but they are completely different from the characters of this era, and can only be vaguely discerned by the imprints of the ancient road.

"It's still here!" Ying Hao muttered to himself.

This is the end of this cycle of reincarnation, the ancient underworld, one of the four eerie bridgeheads.

Coincidentally, it was in this very place that he discovered the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation, and eventually handed it over to the Azure Emperor, allowing him to merge with it.

But everything seemed to be preordained by cause and effect. Guided by the aura, he was certain that the Azure Emperor was here.

However, as soon as he arrived in the ancient underworld, he sensed an extremely familiar aura.

This aura did not belong to the Azure Emperor, and it was extremely faint. If he were still an Immortal Emperor, he would never have been able to detect it so easily.

He took another step forward, following the concealed aura, and arrived at a hidden area within the underworld.

There, a ragged, somewhat bloated fat Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged.

Above the fat Taoist's head, a precious book moved on its own without wind, its pages constantly turning.

The precious book exuded a mysterious aura, enveloping the fat Taoist priest and preventing him from being easily detected by outsiders.

This fat Taoist priest was none other than Duan De, or more precisely, Duan De's true form, Cao Yusheng.

The precious book on Duan De's head was the Book of Life and Death that he had given to Cao Yusheng years ago.

"It's been many years since we last met. It seems you've all been working hard!" Ying Hao said with a smile.

The last time I met Cao Yusheng, his cultivation level was only at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Even now, he can see through Cao Yusheng's cultivation level at a glance; he has clearly broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Cao Yusheng, who was focused on his cultivation, was suddenly jolted awake upon hearing these words and prepared to flee at any moment.

With the Book of Life and Death as his treasure, he was not afraid of being discovered even if the Celestial Emperor himself came.

Moreover, his cultivation method was extremely unique, allowing him to thrive in the ancient underworld.

But today, he was discovered, and someone came to him silently, which he couldn't understand at all.

Who exactly is he? And how were they able to find him?

When he saw the person before him, he froze, his eyes filled with disbelief. (End of Chapter)
