The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 133 The Tribulation of the Saint, The Phoenix Nest Appears (7K)

Yu Yuan, the sacred land of Luzhou, is the ancestral home of the Taiyin royal family. Its status is like that of the Taiyang lineage of Shenzhou, and it is revered by the entire star field.

The Taiyin Emperor made great contributions to the human race. During the era in which he attained enlightenment, the human race ushered in a golden age. That emperor even entered the path to immortality under the watchful eyes of the world. Although in the end, the emperor fell and the human died, only half of his body, carrying the Emperor's Seal, returned to the mortal world.

After that, the Human Emperor Seal participated in the Ancient God War. It was damaged in the battle, and the main body fell into the ancestral land of the Kunlun Clan and was picked up by them; the broken corner fell into the Immortal Transformation Pool and was obtained by Wang Hongwu.

According to his comprehensive analysis, the Taiyin Emperor should have attained enlightenment before the Sun Emperor, because there are clear records that the ancient war of gods broke out after the Sun Emperor's death, and there are no records of any human emperor in between. When the war broke out, weapons appeared on both sides, and even the thoughts of gods may have participated in the war. Therefore, this inference may be true.

"However, I have found the divine thoughts of the Holy Emperor, but I do not know where the divine thoughts of the Human Emperor are. They are probably not on the path to immortality, otherwise even the Amitabha Buddha Emperor of later generations would not have been able to obtain them. They should still be in the universe, or on the ancient path of the stars."

Wang Hongwu pondered whether it would be feasible to find a five-colored altar in Ziwei and use the Emperor's Tomb and ancient seal fragments as a base to guide the thoughts of the gods.
However, unlike the harmony between the Immortal Fire and the Sun Mother Scripture, he had no idea how to replenish the Human Emperor's divine thoughts if they were damaged.

Whoosh! Following the Great Sage of Taiyin, they passed through the brightest part of the sea and entered the depths. Here, the scenery gradually changed and many changes occurred. They stepped into another world.

A golden sun clung to the water's surface, radiating a holy glow. Within it, one could see a withered golden crow. This sun was actually the corpse of a golden crow that had once roamed the heavens and earth. It possessed no deathly aura, only intense heat and peace.

High in the sky, there are many mountain peaks that jut downwards, and dense trees that grow upside down in the sky, with their crowns facing downwards towards the azure sea.

Furthermore, the mountains and land are all upside down, in opposition to everything below. The sun is close to the sea surface, far from the sky, and the vegetation grows upside down in the sky. In front of the calm sea surface, there is a breathtaking scene.

A vortex resembling a volcano stretched from the sky to the sea, like an inverted sea eye, where countless rays of light shone—this was the legendary Yu Yuan.

"Wow, the residence of the Human Emperor is truly magnificent." Duan De exclaimed in amazement. No wonder even the Underworld spent a lot of effort to get here; without an internal guide, it would be difficult to even set foot inside.

"Back then, the Human Emperor discovered the wonders of this place, made some arrangements, and transformed it into our clan's territory. He also established various rules, which we have always upheld." The Great Sage of Taiyin looked nostalgic, and the profound meaning of the Taiyin Mother Scripture appeared between his hands, weaving into chains of divine Dao that flew up, pierced the sky, and shot into the sea eye, building a bridge.

As everyone climbed up, it felt as if they were walking against the heavens and earth, giving them a unique feeling.

"Was that the scene of the former Human Emperor suppressing the Holy Spirit and killing the God? The so-called God might be a demon god or a supreme being of divine blood?" Duan De guessed. As it approached, various strange phenomena of heaven and earth appeared one after another, which was truly shocking. There was a scene of the Human Emperor killing an unparalleled master, with blood raining down, Holy Spirits falling, and Gods being destroyed. There were also scenes of gods and demons falling together, with corpses piled up everywhere.

After passing through the sea eye, they arrived at a vast expanse of blue sky and white. Silver snowflakes drifted down from the sky, not cold at all, but rather warm and gentle. The earth was pure white, and in the distance stood a palace made of blue ice crystals, not magnificent, but solemn and majestic.

At the very center of this ice palace stands a giant laurel tree, its trunk gleaming with silver light and etched with countless snowflake patterns. Its branches grow in profusion, and its leaves are ice-blue, as crystal clear as ice sculptures. It bears fruits shaped like jade rabbits, swaying in the wind. A bright yellow full moon rests atop its crown. From afar, it appears sacred and peaceful, calming the soul.

"The laurel elixir of immortality, that's a real treasure, on par with the Fusang immortal tree in your Sendai." Duan De's eyes lit up, his pupils darting around as if he were deep in thought.

Wang Hongwu remained silent. The divine medicine within the altar did indeed exhibit some unusual activity, releasing a great deal of solar holy power, making him shine like the blazing sun, illuminating all directions and immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

"The ancient Fusang tree?" "This is the aura of the Sun Mother Scripture. Have the people of the ancient religion of Shenzhou arrived?"

"Wait, that seems to be the Xuan Yin Saint King who was ordered to go to Beidou back then! He's back in just a few years?"

At first, the members of the Ancient Sect thought that the Sun lineage had arrived, but when they got closer and discovered the Great Sage of the Moon, they were in an uproar as many figures suddenly appeared.

There were Holy Kings and Heavenly Kings, but the most eye-catching one was naturally the Great Sage who led the group. He was an old man with silver hair like a waterfall, and his eyes were ice-blue and crystal clear. He was dressed in a black robe and was respectfully called the Great Sage Yinluo by those around him.

Upon seeing the Great Sage Taiyin, he was slightly taken aback at first, then carefully sensed her for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter, exclaiming "Good!" three times in a row, saying, "Good, Xuanyin, entrusting you with the heavy responsibility of opening up the Big Dipper was indeed the most correct decision. Now you have become a Great Sage, bringing glory to the clan. It is worth celebrating, truly worth celebrating!"

Xuan Yin was the Daoist title of the Great Sage Taiyin. Back then, he was a Saint King within his clan. Although he held a high position and wielded great power, he was still worlds apart from a true Great Sage.

"Only a few years have passed, and he has already risen to the Great Sage level. The difference between them is like heaven and earth." "Big Dipper, does that place really have such heaven-defying fortune?"

“If I had been the one to take the order back then…” “Xuan Yin… no, Senior Xuan Yin.”

However, some Saint Kings who were old friends of Xuan Yin Great Sage had complicated expressions. Their friends, who were once on equal footing, had no hope of becoming Great Sages. But after only a few years, they returned and became giants and patriarchs of a region, reaching a realm that they could not reach. This contrast was bewildering.

Even some Heavenly Kings were bewildered. Back then, when the Great Sage Xuan Yin met them, he would call them "Daoist Brother," but now it was their turn to call them "Senior"!

"It was by chance that I became a Great Sage. In fact, I owe a lot to Hongwu's help. He has already taken on the heavy responsibility and carried the flag to sweep across the Big Dipper." The Great Sage Xuanyin was not arrogant. Instead, he waved his hand, put the credit on Wang Hongwu, and stepped aside to push him forward.

The members of the Taiyin royal family stared at Wang Hongwu, unable to help but examine him closely. He was undoubtedly a celestial seedling, with extraordinary innate talent, a solar body identical to that of the Holy Emperor, and a physique even stronger than that of a saint. Any one of these qualities was extremely terrifying. Not to mention, they also knew about this Sun King's illustrious past achievements, how he had made the Underworld Yama lineage unable to raise their heads, and his glorious victories.

In particular, the fact that a great sage himself said that the reason people were breaking down the threshold was because of him makes it all the more special.

"Sun King, we have long heard of your great name and many of your deeds. Your victory over the Underworld was truly a great relief to us. The Longevity Temple also owes its strength to you; otherwise, we would have lost another force in our fight against the Underworld."

"This life is truly glorious and splendid. First, a Taiyin Body appeared, and then a Taiyang Body appeared. Both are outstanding talents of their generation. Ziwei is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is a cause for celebration."

"Ye Chunfeng has been gone for a long time. He once said that he would find the ultimate divine weapon of the Taiyin Emperor, but now we don't know what has happened to him."

The Taiyin Clan members stepped forward to greet Wang Hongwu, all of them very polite. They were even quite curious about this Sun King who was famous throughout the star field, since it was rare to see someone who could defeat the Underworld.

Now that Ziwei has been beaten into such a miserable state by the Underworld, someone who can make the Underworld suffer a setback naturally stands out from the crowd.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Two other voices rang out, belonging to two young saints, the holy sons of the ancient sects of Yin and Yang, who had gathered here to guard Yu Yuan.

The Sun Saint is radiant and benevolent, always with a smile on his face. He is surrounded by a halo, wears golden armor and a red robe, has a square face, thick eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, thick lips and large ears. He is somewhat similar to a portrait of a prince that Wang Hongwu had seen. He is that prince's direct descendant, with his bloodline reverting to its ancestral form, but he has not yet reached the level of an ancient prince.

The Holy Son of Taiyin was peaceful and silent, with fair skin that was not sickly. He was surrounded by a faint white mist, wore silver armor and a white robe, and had a handsome face with willow-leaf eyebrows and starry eyes. He was also a direct descendant of a prince and had cultivated the Taiyin Mother Scripture to an extraordinary level, condensing a lot of Taiyin Immortal Essence.

The two holy sons bowed respectfully, showing no sign of disrespect. Although they were saints and this man was a half-saint, they did not feel that they had the upper hand in terms of combat strength. This was not humility, but an instinctive warning.

This ridiculously young guy is incredibly strong!

In an instant, an invisible spiritual fluctuation resounded between the three, distorting the void and forming a field that, from a distance, resembled the sun and moon in the same sky, except that there were two suns!

Two suns appeared in the sky alongside the moon, a strange phenomenon that made everyone present solemn.

"Wrong, Holy Son, you cannot call him Fellow Daoist, you should call him Sect Leader." Suddenly, the Great Sage Tianyang spoke with a smile, which startled everyone. Their eyes swept back and forth between Wang Hongwu and him, somewhat incredulous.

Has the Ancient Sun Cult changed its leader?

Not the Holy Son yet?
The Sun Saint, who had just been all smiles, was taken aback. Although he was not someone who was obsessed with status and power, he still couldn't help but be suspicious when he heard this news.

However, Tianyang, being a Great Sage, would not deceive him. He made contact with the sect through a secret method and learned what had happened. He was shocked and his heart was filled with turmoil. He suppressed his joy at the return of the Holy Emperor Ancestor and then bowed to Wang Hongwu without hesitation, saying, "Holy Son Jiang Yuan greets the Sect Leader!"

This rapid change caught the Taiyin Sect members off guard, but seeing that the Holy Son did not object, it seemed that the entire sect was convinced.

"A Saint-level sect leader in his twenties is unprecedented since the Mythical Era. However, there must be a reason why even an old stubborn like Haoyang would agree with him." Even the Great Sage Yinluo became curious and wanted to know what had happened.

The others were also extremely curious. After paying their respects to Wang Hongwu as the leader of the sect again, they kept glancing at him discreetly. They never expected that such a young man would come to Ziwei Star, and that he would cause such a stir as soon as he arrived. He was now the leader of the sect, holding the reins of the royal family, and could look down on the world.

Even the Holy Son of Taiyin bowed twice, regarding himself as a junior and not daring to overstep his bounds; the current leader of the Taiyin Sect replaced him and treated Wang Hongwu as an equal.

"We have come here to seek enlightenment through the Taiyin Elixir of Immortality." Upon seeing this, the Great Sage Xuanyin coughed twice to draw everyone's attention back, and then explained the purpose of their visit. After all, this was not the Ancient Sun Sect, and they could not act so arbitrarily.

Yin Luo Dasheng waved his hand dismissively and said, "If it's just about enlightenment, there's no problem. We haven't even prepared a gift for this new leader of the Sun Sect yet."

"How can mere enlightenment be enough? Why don't we two holy sons sit down with Senior Hongwu and discuss the Dao, explaining the mysteries of the Holy Realm?"
Discussing the Way of the Sages under the laurel tree is truly evocative, and it allows one to draw inferences from one instance to another, gaining a profound understanding of Yin and Yang.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Son of Taiyin extended an invitation, naturally intending to lend a helping hand, and of course, also harboring youthful ambition to compete in the Dao.

“Of course.” Wang Hongwu smiled casually, put his hands behind his back and stepped forward. The Sun Saint nodded and said, “Then I will trouble the Master.”

The three sat down around the laurel tree, all reciting scriptures and explaining their own experiences and insights into spiritual practice.

Even though they are all the same fundamental texts of spiritual practice, they will differ from person to person. Outstanding individuals are able to forge their own paths and forge ahead with courage and diligence.

The Holy Son of Taiyin formed the Treasure Bottle Seal with both hands, and a deep, dark Taiyin River flew out. It was obscure and profound, exuding a decaying and withered Daoist charm. Then, it actually condensed wisps of time from it. Wherever it passed, even the flow of time accelerated. He actually touched time with decay and comprehended this mystery.

The Sun Saint raised his palms to the sky, and a blazing white sun rose from his palms. It did not have the destructive heat of other suns, but a gentle light, full of vitality. Within the sun, all things were being born and created! He was also extraordinary, using light and heat to create, touching a trace of the essence of creation.

Wang Hongwu nodded slightly upon seeing this. They did indeed have some ability, and it was precisely because of this that the two of them became Holy Sons. Otherwise, how could they have dominated the Ziwei era?

He raised his hand and pointed, and Yin and Yang were in harmony, and reincarnation was revealed. The Taiyin and Taiyang intertwined to form a wheel, which then transformed into a history book. It covered all the laws of the past and interpreted the endless laws of the future. When the pages were turned, all kinds of history and figures appeared. The Taiyin Emperor and the Taiyang Emperor were both presented in it. The pages turned like a magnificent historical river.

This extraordinary phenomenon did not forcefully suppress the other two, but rather enveloped them with a dignified and majestic aura of kingship. Your paths and methods are all within mine; naturally, they are inferior to my methods, and my path is vast. Thousands of years of fierce battles have passed, yet nothing can be accomplished by my mere hand!
The two holy sons' expressions turned solemn, and they immediately sensed a gap in their intentions and spirit. Without needing to say more, they already understood that their understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao was inferior to that of the other.

This young leader has even embarked on the path of cultivating both Yin and Yang, creating a remarkable achievement, and he himself has not perished like those ancient sages.

"May I ask, senior, what are your insights on cultivation in secret realms?" The two holy sons bowed and asked for guidance again.

Wang Hongwu shared his knowledge openly, speaking as if he were educating two students: "Born between heaven and earth, we ourselves are also a world, a nascent universe, already possessing everything. All we need to do is evolve, sublimate to the extreme, transcend, and then reach the pinnacle to shape our true selves."

The essence of the Secret Realm Method is to take the body as a seed, and the core of this lineage is to place oneself alongside the vast universe, to regard oneself as a realm, a sky, to see through and comprehend the great universe, and to revive oneself.

On this path, living beings are not insignificant individuals within the vast world, nor are they merely dwelling there drawing sustenance; rather, they are observers learning and drawing lessons.

The sages of the Taiyin lineage around him seemed to be deep in thought, and then nodded slightly. What he said may not be the ultimate truth, but it does have its merits. Perhaps it is not comprehensive due to the limitations of the level of life, but it is sufficient within the Holy Realm.

Wang Hongwu explained his understanding of the secret realm: the secret realm method is about developing oneself, and in the end, one does not need external objects. There are one immortal gate after another within one's own body. Once opened, it can continuously release potential and possess infinite divine power.

In the end, this path does not measure power by the size of one's own body. Even if the human body is as small as dust compared to a star field, it can still tear apart the entire universe, transcend it, and stand high above!

"Such insights are truly admirable, but they are difficult to grasp as we have only heard about them. Could you please enlighten us, senior?" The Lunar Saint was slightly moved, and a longing flashed in his eyes. The Sun Saint bowed deeply and said, "Please, Master, impart your teachings!"

Then Wang Hongwu nodded, and a seed suddenly flew out of his body. It was hazy and shrouded in mist, with surging chaotic energy, exuding the most primal aura. In the distance, one could vaguely hear the harmonious sounds of all the myriad paths of the heavens, which was the Dao he was interpreting.

This is the Seed of the Secret Realm. It is peaceful and resonates with the pulse of the entire world and even the stars of the universe.

To the cultivators, this was like the sound of immortals, like the ancient scriptures coming from beyond the heavens, deafening and enlightening them.

This is the most precious aspect of this kind of thing. It is like a placenta of heaven and earth, a product of the union of heaven and earth, fused with the universe, and all kinds of rules are blended together. Such a wonderful method allows the two holy sons to wander in the sea of ​​the Dao, surrounded by various rules, and truly see the essence of this world and the most original and simple truths.

They were like a parched desert, greedily absorbing the rain and dew, observing and experiencing everything, and then adding their own thoughts.

Boom! In that instant, both of their bodies trembled simultaneously, breaking through their shackles and achieving a breakthrough in their cultivation!
"This...you managed to get two saints to break through with just a few words?" Everyone was astonished. This method was truly extraordinary, not to mention that the one who demonstrated it was only a half-saint, whose theoretical level was even lower!

Leaving aside the fluctuating emotions of the Taiyin clansmen, the two holy sons were genuinely overjoyed. They bowed to Wang Hongwu with the proper disciple's salute and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Master Hongwu!"

Wang Hongwu's ability to refute the Holy Son in a debate and break through realms with a single word drew the attention of all the sages, who deeply felt his extraordinary talent and power.

The fact that two sons who became saints also submitted to the teachings of a semi-saint is a terrifying truth.

Even more remarkably, after their sudden enlightenment, they broke through to the next level, attracting a tribulation of lightning!

This scene shocked everyone. What does it mean? The Sun King's understanding of the Dao far surpassed that of the two of them. He was giving them guidance from a superior position, like a teacher. With just a little prompting, he could enlighten them and help them break through their limitations. This was something that many elders in the sect could not do.

Unfortunately, this young man is only in his early twenties!

Then Wang Hongwu looked at Yin Luo Dasheng and said, "I wish to use the power of the laurel tree to harmonize yin and yang and become a saint in one fell swoop."

"The Master's assistance to my clan's holy son in breaking through is such a wonderful thing, there is naturally no reason to refuse, please!" The Great Sage agreed with a smile, and then sent the two holy sons into the outer heavens to undergo tribulation, so as not to affect their enlightenment here.

Whoosh! The elixir of immortality from Fusang appeared between his brows, standing alongside the laurel tree. The primal forces of Yin and Yang merged, giving the place a hazy hue. Wang Hongwu had already made all the preparations, adjusting himself to his peak state, every inch of his skin glowing and radiating auspicious light.

He was full of energy, and the vigorous vitality of his primordial spirit transformed into a blazing flame that shot out from between his eyebrows. It was extremely intense, and finally, this spiritual flame condensed into a small figure that hung there.

Yin Luo Dasheng was quite surprised: "The life force leaking from your primordial spirit is already so powerful, it's practically enough to create another primordial spirit!"

The elixir of immortality from Fusang also attracted much attention, and people unexpectedly chose to follow this young man, which was truly surprising. He was clearly a new generation of holy emperor.

"Yin and Yang in harmony, reincarnation as the foundation." Wang Hongwu murmured. The Fusang Immortal Tree on his left trembled, and the power of the sun's origin entered his body, making him golden. The Yuegui Immortal Tree on his right swayed, and the power of the yin's origin sprinkled down, covering him with a layer of silver gauze. The two continued to merge, and chaotic energy was actually generated here!
As a result, the divine embryo within him also changed. Its seven orifices gradually became prominent, and under the nourishment of the Yin-Yang primordial power, it underwent a transformation. A trace of chaotic essence was nurtured within, giving it a resemblance to the legendary Chaos Stone, yet it was even more transcendent and increasingly resembled a human form.

On this day, various extraordinary phenomena appeared. Purple aura came from the east, and vast expanses of purple mist filled the sky and the earth, stretching for 30,000 miles. Divine springs gushed from the earth, and sweet dew fell from the sky. Golden lotuses of the Great Dao bloomed in the void, and the phantoms of true dragons and qilin appeared, circling around two immortal divine trees, with the sound of the Dao resonating with them.

Om!

Finally, Wang Hongwu broke through and took the step towards becoming a saint.

In an instant, a violent tremor occurred, marking the most terrifying catastrophe. Chaotic energy surged and swept across the starry sea.

The vast chaos was filled with celestial lightning, a boundless and magnificent spectacle that blanketed the Purple Star Domain, illuminating an eternal brilliance and foreshadowing an ultimate power.

Wang Hongwu opened his eyes, carrying the Yin-Yang Heavenly Diagram on his back, and with the power of the two great primal forces, he launched a powerful attack into the sky to confront the enemy.

But this tribulation was not over yet. Dark light filled the sky again, and the Taiyin Divine Thunder descended, filling the entire firmament. Many stars were submerged and exploded. This scene was enough to make any saint tremble with fear. It was at least many times more heaven-defying than the tribulations of the two saints in the distance.

Then another unparalleled sea of ​​lightning descended, its golden light dazzling and illuminating the entire ancient star, as if a massive explosion had occurred. The blinding light was the arrival of the Sun God's lightning, and the three great calamities appeared simultaneously in the sky, seemingly to hinder Wang Hongwu's path to sainthood and prevent him from taking that heaven-reaching step.

However, amidst this destruction, a new force also emerged, piercing through the vast chaos and shining down from the depths of the heavens. Following the three great calamities of Yin and Yang and chaos was the calamity of creation.

The creation of heaven and earth signifies the end of destruction and the rebirth of all things, but it did not give Wang Hongwu a chance to breathe; it erupted along with the three great calamities!

Around the chaos and yin and yang, all things were born: flowers, birds, fish, insects, the universe, stars, gods, demons, humans, and ghosts. Everything that could be thought of or seen took shape at this moment and was fiercely fighting with Wang Hongwu.

"These are not enough to obstruct my path!" He unleashed the power of the Imperial Supreme Principles, slaughtering his way through the land. His holy might was vast and overwhelming. Once this hurdle was overcome, it would be a qualitative transformation. In a sense, saints and non-saints would be two different life forms. Only those at the level of imperial heirs or those who were exceptionally brilliant throughout the ages could appreciate the splendor of this realm in the non-saint realm.

Wang Hongwu resisted the great calamity, using the Taiyin Mother Scripture to counter the Taiyang Thunder Tribulation, and the Taiyang Mother Scripture to counter the Taiyin Thunder Tribulation. Finally, the Reincarnation Seal flew out, and the Wheel of Rebirth of All Heavens appeared in his palm, crushing the Chaos Tribulation.

He shattered everything around him, soaring into the sky and reaching the very center of the sea of ​​calamity.

Here, the most intense tribulation for achieving sainthood was finally born, giving rise to a magnificent historical river with waves rising and falling. Each wave represents an era, in which a prominent figure rises and shakes the stars.

It was like the evolution of the times, with one magnificent building after another appearing, floating at the forefront of the waves, and inside stood a figure, the most outstanding ruler of that era, they were the symbol of that era!

"What a terrifying holy calamity! Even the Human Emperor didn't have such a grand spectacle back then." Yin Luo Great Sage was shocked and couldn't help but feel horrified. If he had been in such a situation back then, he would have been struck dead long ago and wouldn't have survived.

Xuan Yin Dasheng remained silent, but secretly worried for Wang Hongwu. Becoming a saint was a hurdle, but once overcome, the world would be vast and boundless.

With the Sun King's ascension to sainthood, his combat power would absolutely dominate this field.

boom!
At the same time, a mysterious wave of energy emanated from the edge of the universe, sweeping across all star fields and causing Ziwei to sway for a moment.

"What happened? A disturbance has swept across all the star regions? Is it a Quasi-Emperor, or has an even more powerful being made a move?" The two Great Saints exchanged a glance, realizing that something was amiss.

But no matter how they tried to deduce it, they couldn't detect anything at all.

On the edge of the universe, where the true fluctuations were felt, a magnificent divine mountain appeared.

Each mountain was eerily black, like a sword blade soaring into the clouds, or a wild bull lying on the ground, shrouded in mist and exuding a majestic aura.

"The Immortal Mountain will henceforth be my sacred ground, where I will cultivate myself for Nirvana and complete my final transformation." An old Taoist priest wearing a purple-gold crown and a Taoist robe stood there, suddenly raised his hand and lifted the entire sacred mountain, sending it flying towards the Big Dipper.

"Mount Undying is rumored to be impossible to store in magical artifacts, and even quasi-emperors cannot move it. Just how high is the cultivation level of this mysterious Taoist who was able to move it?" The onlookers were shocked. Mount Undying has a mysterious origin. Like Kunlun and Mount Sumeru, it is a divine mountain of the origin of the universe, but it is completely different and is one of the most peculiar places.

The old Taoist priest carried the mountain past, paying no heed to the gazes of these ants. Soon, the forces that had emerged from the forbidden zone arrived, including a silver-backed, red-horned Qilin, surrounded by powerful figures from the Immortal Tomb, the Reincarnation Sea, and the Primordial Ancient Mine.

"Is he the mastermind behind the God Wars?" "I don't see anything special about him."

"Remember not to underestimate him. The fact that this guy has survived until now means he is incredibly strong."

Several Holy Spirits in the Quasi-Emperor realm exchanged words, expressing their great apprehension towards the old Taoist priest. In that distant ancient era, how many bloody incidents had occurred? If they were to be told, they would surely be earth-shattering and awe-inspiring. Many people felt a chill run down their spines.

The deaths of some enlightened beings in history seem so unusual; could this person be involved?

Whoosh! Just then, the old Taoist turned around and saw a huge ancient phoenix nest on the edge of the universe. It was built of phoenix divine wood and looked like a bird's nest, but it exuded a tremendous pressure. It was faintly visible and had powerful life waves emanating from it.

Legend has it that this was a divine nest built by the Immortal Emperor for his wife, stained with the blood of immortals. It was only recorded in historical books and had never been seen by anyone before.
