The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 113 The Wheel of Rebirth in All Heavens, The Divine Land and Immortal Gates Appear
A descendant of the Heavenly Court? Hmph!

The saints of the Kunlun clan immediately revealed a murderous aura. The blood debt between them and the Heavenly Court was too deep. Just the title alone made them very unhappy with the Sun King, and a kind of malice was growing.

Strictly speaking, he wouldn't necessarily be tempted to kill, but if the fragment of the Human Emperor's Seal is truly in his possession, then things are hard to say.

As for the Heavenly Dragon King who possessed the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, they truly loathed him and wished they could shatter him and seize the cauldron as well.

"No need for further words, quickly set up the formation. We also need to enter the Immortal Transformation Pool to investigate and find out what exactly is going on." The sage of the Serpent Tribe flicked his sleeve, and a bell-like object appeared in his palm. This was used to sense the fragments of the Human Emperor's Seal. They were just the vanguard at the moment. If they really found something, a Great Sage would naturally arrive with imperial troops.

While they were building the passage, Wang Hongwu and Duan De were also exploring the Dragon Cave in the Huaxianchi Mountains.

"Strange, I heard there's a gestating Holy Spirit lying dormant here, but I haven't seen it."

"What, do you want to interrupt its birth and force it to appear imperfectly? That won't do us any good."

The two chatted casually as they ventured deeper into the Dragon Cave. Soon they came to a giant plant that resembled a sunflower, but in a riot of colors, surrounded by rainbow-like bands of light. Each leaf was golden, and hanging from it were lifelike fruits of four different species: dragon, tiger, phoenix, and unicorn. Each fruit was only the size of a palm, vividly lifelike, and seemed to be blinking at them.

Besides the six fruits harvested initially, there are four more here, making a total of ten fruits, which can be considered precious.

Wang Hongwu glanced at Duan De, and was about to suggest splitting it in half, when the fat Taoist shook his head as if he had foreseen the future, saying, "You should take them all. After I used the power of the immortal fire to refine them, I don't need these things in this world for the time being."

Nodding, Wang Hongwu raised his hand and put the four fruits into his Dao Palace. He then examined the Dream Mother Plant in front of him. Its effects were naturally stronger than those of the fruit offspring. Since he had come all this way, there was no reason for him to leave empty-handed.

"Please wait a moment, everyone."

At this moment, a thought came from the depths of the Dragon Cave, hoping that they could leave behind the roots of the Dream Essence. This ancestral vein has a spirit, and combined with the Immortal Transformation Pool, it can be allowed to grow again, rather than become extinct.

"As the saying goes, leave a way out when doing things. Let's leave a way out here too; one mother plant is enough, it's worth half an elixir of immortality." Duan De deduced and verified the words and agreed with them.

Wang Hongwu understood, so he left the rootstock of the mother plant and only took the trunk, which transformed into a ball of divine liquid like a placenta, with an infant curled up inside, emanating a fragrant aroma.

Before leaving the cave, the two glanced in a certain direction with their third eye, but said nothing.

"If you're not in a hurry to leave, you can study the terrain here. The Yin-Yang Twin Caves will be very beneficial to your Yin-Yang Balance Dao derived from the Reincarnation Seal." Duan De's eyes flashed as he offered his suggestion. Since his trip to Reincarnation Lake, he had become somewhat different, as if he had suddenly been sublimated. His vision and actions had become much more mature and world-weary.

"It's worth a try," Wang Hongwu nodded in agreement. He immediately left the Dragon Cave and arrived at the area between the two immortal lands. Under his Heavenly Eye's gaze, the mysteries of this Yin-Yang Twin Caves began to be revealed. He began to comprehend it by combining his own Reincarnation Seal and the Yin-Yang Mother Scripture.

During the process, the Heart of the Death Realm that he had obtained earlier flew out, hovered above his head, and scattered wisps of dark death energy, which merged into the Taiyin Divine Power.

Gradually, the divine power of Taiyin evolved, first in the form of mist, then continuously churning and surging, and then collapsing into a solid, forming Taiyin ice crystals; then a third change occurred, melting into Taiyin true water, which then rolled up to the sky, swallowing up all the dark death energy, constantly changing.

“Death and turbidity both belong to the Yin category; touching them will cause one to fall into depravity, thus they are the cause of the destruction of gods.”

Wang Hongwu entered the forbidden realm in an instant. While triggering the All-Encompassing Secret, he also circulated the Taiyin Mother Scripture. The true water around his body instantly transformed into a black, evil river, surging and surging, crossing the earth in a magnificent way.

The roar of the river could be heard, the entire surface of the water was eerily black, devoid of any life, making one feel suffocated just by looking at it; amidst the surging waves, it was as if a black evil dragon was about to take off, making people uneasy, their Dao heart unstable, and their life essence trembling in its presence.

The most terrifying thing is that, whether it is silent or turbulent, the soil, rocks, vegetation, and mountains on both sides of the river are all frozen.

This is a Yin River of the Underworld, and as it flows, its dense death energy erodes the land it passes through, annihilating all the laws and vitality there, leaving behind an extreme death aura that kills anyone who touches it.

Wang Hongwu combined the Heart of the Death Realm with his understanding of the Taiyin Mother Scripture, and discovered another interpretation, which focused on the extreme desolation of the Taiyin primordial power, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.

But after creating the Taiyin God-Slaying Technique, he did not stop seeking enlightenment. Instead, he simultaneously activated the Yin-Yang Mother Scripture and the Reincarnation Seal, with the three working together and continuously evolving.

In the end, he moved his left and right hands respectively, thus evolving the principles of Yin and Yang.

The character "生" (life) appears in the left palm, and the character "死" (death) appears in the right palm.

These two words weigh heavier than anything else, as if they could crush eternity. Countless cultivators throughout history have been exploring them, but no one has yet been able to comprehend them and thus achieve immortality.

Black and white, two forces, formed a divine wheel in the air, resembling a portal, a millstone, or even the halo behind the head of a deity. On it emerged yin and yang, life and death, heaven and hell, reincarnation and rebirth.

Buzz! As the divine wheel turned, heaven and earth were turned upside down, day turned into night, all the great rivers on the ground flowed towards the sky, the universe was reversed, and the birds that flew by and the corpses that walked by actually went backward and came back!
It was as if an invisible hand was pulling them, forcibly restraining their forward trajectory and forcing them to walk backwards, arriving swiftly.

Even a terrifying scene unfolded: when the wheel turned black, everything aged and decayed rapidly, exuding an aura of death, as if embarking on the path to reincarnation; and when the wheel was filled with white, the birds and corpses quickly became younger again, even constantly juvenile, about to fall back to their original embryonic state.

Manipulating Yin and Yang, reversing life and death, and grasping reincarnation, this forbidden killing technique, which combines the Yin-Yang Mother Scripture and the Reincarnation Seal, is called the Wheel of Rebirth of All Heavens!

The souls of all the heavens fall, and the yin and yang are reborn, all entering the cycle of reincarnation.

"Alright, Lao Duan, you've stayed here long enough, let's leave." After creating his supernatural power, Wang Hongwu didn't linger and pulled Duan De away from the place.

Only after they left did an invisible shockwave emanate from the ancestral vein beneath the earth, saying, "These two were kind-hearted enough that you weren't discovered."

“I don’t know if they are kind-hearted, but they have actually discovered me. They just let me go on purpose. Both of them have the Heavenly Eye, so how could they not see the existence of the Dao trace? With this layer in place, even if that person has the blood of the Divine Jade Holy Spirit on him, I can only pretend that I didn’t see it.” Deep in the Dragon Cave, a completely different will came out.

"Leaving that aside for now, after that immortal lotus left, the Immortal Transformation Pool became increasingly unstable, and many changes occurred."

"Without suppression, the other guy naturally made a move. Sleeping for eternity is not dormancy; naturally, he eagerly hopes to return."

The sounds from the Dragon Cave and the Ancestral Vein gradually subsided, seemingly afraid of attracting the attention of a certain being at the bottom of the Immortal Transformation Pool.

Outside the Immortal Land, in the center of the Ancestral Dragon River, the Kunlun descendants, who had just finished building the passage, were startled as they activated it. They looked into the void to the side and saw another passage opening there!
Buzz! The Serpent Saint was startled. The artifact in his hand that he used to sense the Human Emperor Seal suddenly began to roar violently. He clearly sensed that not only he and his group were entering the Immortal Transformation Pool, but others were also coming out of the Immortal Transformation Pool!

"Did these people obtain the fragments of the Human Emperor's Seal?" A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, the Holy Power Law gathered between his palms and fingers, forming a gray serpent with serrated scales and tiger stripes around its body. Suddenly, it bared its fangs and claws and pounced, wreaking havoc in the direction where the passage had appeared.

The sage's strike was no less powerful than a planetary impact; its immense force was unimaginable, causing the entire void to tremble and shake dramatically.

At the place where the vortex of the passage opened, two figures suddenly emerged. One wore an imperial crown and ancient imperial robes, with red hair, dragon eyebrows, and a high nose. The other was a fat Taoist priest with a dragon-shaped wooden hairpin in his hair and wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe.

"A sneak attack? What a despicable act!" At this moment, the red-haired man sneered disdainfully, his aura suddenly surging and breaking through the barrier of the Holy Domain. A huge Yin-Yang Rebirth Wheel appeared in his palm, black and white, and he pressed forward fiercely, crushing the serpent phantom to pieces. The so-called Holy Domain laws were useless and were forcibly blasted apart.

"A saint, huh? Are they entering the Immortal Transformation Pool?" the fat Taoist priest asked in surprise, seemingly not expecting anyone to dare to attack them.
Boom! The red-haired man remained silent, displaying his peak combat power. Three strands of immortal energy swirled around his body, and the divine restriction transformed into twelve black lightning bolts that coiled around his arms. Surrounding him was a magnificent surge of Taiyin Holy Power. The Heart of the Death Realm resonated with it, and the boundless death energy moved accordingly, merging into one.

The sage who had made the move was shocked; his attack had actually been blocked! How could a being just one step away from achieving the Great Perfection of enlightenment actually block a sage's strike?!

But the next moment, an even more terrifying scene unfolded. The Dao Slayer not only remained unharmed after blocking the holy power, but even launched a murderous counterattack. How dare he do that?

"Damn it, how could there be such a person in the Big Dipper Star Region? Slaying the Dao and defeating the Saint, this is not a Half-Saint!" Even those who were traveling with him were terrified. Defeating a Half-Saint and defeating a Saint are completely different concepts, but now they had truly witnessed it. That person broke through the barrier of the Saint Realm and approached forcefully.

Taiyin Slaughtering Gods! Wang Hongwu swung his right fist, shattering the heavens and earth. The Taiyin death energy poured out from his fist like a vast galaxy, as if the entire Netherworld Sea had fallen, engulfing the group of creatures that had attacked.

This river and sea were dyed black, terrifying and dark. This was the endless power of death, which made people despair. It was a killing move evolved from the Taiyin Mother Scripture combined with the Heart of the Death Realm.

"The origin of Yin? The death energy of the underworld?!" the serpent saint cried out. This destructive power was too vast, which terrified him and might taint his immortal holy body.

With nowhere to retreat and nowhere to avoid, the endless power of death was unleashed. At this moment, the world lost its color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the sea of ​​death, like a vast ocean of stars, was too domineering and destructive, crushing everything in its path and directly confronting even a saint.

Ah! Screams continued. The arriving group of creatures suffered heavy losses. Corroded by this vast black power, many turned to ashes, leaving not even a trace of blood mist. The Yin primordial power corroded everything, turning all things into decaying ash.

The remaining people, quick-witted and agile, escaped directly into the barely opened passage, merging into the void and heading towards the ancestral land of the Immortal Transformation Pool.

"A mere Dao Slayer who is half a step away from the Great Perfection can actually fight me?" The Serpent Saint groaned, retreating several miles away to avoid the power of the Heart of Death. His entire body was blackened, corroded by the power of death, and even the laws of the Saintly Domain could not completely block it.

This is unimaginable. A dignified saint not only had his attack blocked by a Dao Slayer, but the opponent also launched a powerful counterattack, affecting him as well!
A saint is an invincible term for beings below the barrier of the holy realm, yet he has suffered such a loss, feeling utterly humiliated and filled with shock and anger.

Awooo! He roared like a wild beast, his blood energy surging like a sea, expelling all the black energy from his body. However, the blood hole in his chest was difficult to heal because the death energy of the Heart of the Dead was too terrifying. Even when buried underground, it caused the bones of saints to decay and deteriorate, let alone after it was fused with the power of the Taiyin Saint.

But at this moment, he had no choice. The passage he had set up opened, directly enveloping them and sending them into the Immortal Pool of Evolution. No matter how angry he was, he was unable to make a move.

He suffered a loss for nothing, got punched, and couldn't even fight back. He couldn't swallow this insult.

"Huh? Aren't these guys the near-immortal race? Why aren't they staying in their hometown? What are they doing running around to the Big Dipper?" Duan De let out a soft exclamation, realizing that these people came from beyond the heavens and were an extremely ancient race.

Are those guys descendants of the Kunlun people?

Wang Hongwu glanced over, a hint of surprise in his eyes. They had just missed him and run into the Immortal Transformation Pool, clearly heading for the fragments of the Human Emperor's Seal. No wonder they attacked him.

"That's the Sun King? How come they just came out of the Immortal Transformation Pool? Although they made the right move, they missed their chance. What a pity!" The Saint of the Remnant Clan was shocked, and then regretted it. They had missed an opportunity. Now that the passage formation had been opened, there was no turning back. By the time they came out, the Sun King would have long since disappeared.

"Old Duan, leave some killing formations at the exit. If they attack us, we can't let them get away with it." Watching the group disappear, Wang Hongwu sneered and joined forces with Duan De to set up a killing formation there.

Even if those guys come out, they'll be in big trouble; whether they'll survive is another matter.

Finally, the two returned to Zhongzhou, only to find that it had been in turmoil recently, with a lot of news emerging.

Although the great battle of the past has clearly passed, the sages from beyond the realm still appear from time to time, causing turmoil in the Big Dipper Star Region and making it possible for a great storm to break out at any time.

"Does anyone know what exactly happened? Is there some secret realm about to emerge in the Big Dipper?"

"I've heard that these saints came to some secret realm because someone saw some kind of violent fluctuation outside the heavens, which alarmed them."

“That’s right. Many sages have said that the fluctuations are extremely ancient, at least from the mythological era, or perhaps even more ancient!”

As the most prosperous Central Continent, it naturally attracts many visitors from beyond the region. The cultivators here have gathered a lot of information, discussed it with each other, and roughly pieced together an outline.

The Age of Myths? A Divine Land Beyond the Realm?
Wang Hongwu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. He had only been in the Immortal Transformation Pool for half a year, and so many things had already happened.
"Strange. If we calculate the dates, the date this so-called extraterrestrial divine land appeared is actually very close to the date we entered the Immortal Transformation Pool." Duan De calculated with his fingers, but his expression was strange.

Could there be some connection between the two?
Just as they were pondering, suddenly, a terrifying aura swept across the land, vast and boundless in the heavens. Mortals felt only a tremor in their hearts, and even if they sensed it, they could not see anything.

But the holy spirits that touched the sacred realm all changed color, causing their souls to tremble. Something of great importance must have happened. Some of them quickly rose up and flew into the sky.

There, a crack appeared faintly, from which primordial chaos and divine light surged forth.

On the same day, a shocking message came from beyond the borders, shaking Beidou!

"A fleeting glimpse of a divine land beyond the realm, it seems to be the path to immortality from long ago, or perhaps the Daoist temple of an ancient Celestial Venerable!"

Both speculations were awe-inspiring, driving all races into a frenzy, and even the celestial saints set out!
Even those who were not saints could not contain their excitement and followed their patriarch to the temple.

"The Path to Immortality... the Heavenly Venerable's Dojo?" Wang Hongwu frowned upon hearing this. There was indeed a Path to Immortality in the Silent Immortal Mansion, and there was also a Path to Immortality in the Central Continent Immortal Mansion. Both were chaotic divine lands left behind by the ancient Heavenly Venerable. Could this be another one?
It makes sense, but isn't the timing of this event too coincidental?
He was skeptical, but Duan De was keen to find out more.

"It really is a divine gate, but unfortunately no one can enter it. It is ever-changing, appearing and disappearing in the outer realms!" A cultivator was excitedly discussing, and he was more inclined to believe that it was the same as the previous speculation about the path to immortality.

What's even more intriguing is that this divine gate doesn't appear near the Eastern Wilderness, but rather in the heavens. If you look closely, you can vaguely see that it corresponds to the location of the Central Plains!
Now, more and more sages from beyond the realms have arrived and descended upon Zhongzhou, drawing the attention of the Ziwei Sect to this event. This is a super event with far-reaching influence, foreshadowing a magnificent and turbulent future.

No one knows where they come from, but everyone understands that a saint who can traverse star fields is no ordinary person; he is absolutely extraordinary.

"The Divine Gate has reappeared!"

Just three days later, another message came out: someone roared from beyond the heavens. It came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard. Many powerful figures shouted and tore through the void to rush to the scene.

"Why is it outside the realm, and not on an ancient star?"

Some people had doubts, but they couldn't care less. The opportunity was fleeting, so they had to make a decisive decision and rush forward.

Wang Hongwu and Duan De also arrived. They rode in the Immortal Dragon Chariot and saw a trace in the heavens. It was a misty white light portal, hazy and peaceful, which even saints could not approach.

It moves so fast, like a dream, traversing the starry sky in an instant, and connecting the past and present in a flash.

"Did you sense it? The radiant glow it emits is mostly celestial energy. Even from this distance, it makes people want to worship it!" someone shouted excitedly, feeling that their opportunity had arrived. Even if the path to immortality in the past could no longer lead to the Immortal Realm, there was still some celestial energy and treasures left behind. Perhaps there were even things that had fallen from the Immortal Realm!
The Arctic Lights of yesteryear are a case in point.

Soon, chaos erupted here as people began to test the waters using various methods.
