Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 136 The Miraculous Medicine That Brings the Dead Back to Life
"Before coming to the Eastern Region, this humble monk had heard that Benefactor Di Yi had used the Blood Emperor as a sacrifice on the banks of the Daming River to condense the destiny of a god, making him arguably the greatest talent in the Kunlun Realm since the Middle Ages. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary."

The monk Bujie has a dignified appearance. If one did not have a preconceived notion that he was a heretical monk of the Dead Zen sect, anyone would think that he was a virtuous and highly accomplished monk.

The events that occurred on the banks of the Daming River were witnessed by several saints, including Yan Kaixuan. Although the news that Di Yi had condensed a divine destiny has not yet spread widely, it is already known to many people in the saints' circle.

Galo-man and Moro-zang initially disagreed with the Buddhist monk Bujie's statement that they were no match for Di Yi, but upon hearing that he had actually condensed a divine destiny, they were greatly astonished.

Those who condense the destiny of a god are said to have the potential to become gods. Since the Middle Ages, no one has succeeded in doing so, not even someone as amazing as the Old Ancestor of Death Zen.

"Amitabha, no wonder Benefactor Di Yi was able to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm and the Hell Ghost King Claw to such a high level at the same time. It turns out that you have condensed the destiny of a god. This humble monk admires you." The thin monk Morozang was much more humble than the fat monk Jialuowan, and he seemed more like a high monk of the Western Regions Brahma Dao than the standing monks that Di Yi had seen.

"You still underestimate Benefactor Di Yi. As far as I know, Benefactor Di Yi's strongest skill is not palm or claw, but sword. He defeated ten saints with a single sword at Lingjuan Hill, making all the sword saints in the world take notice," Master Bujie continued to praise.

These words shocked the two monks, one fat and one thin, and even the people in the black market present were stunned.

With the cultivation level of the Undisciplined Buddha Master, a half-saint is not enough to be called a 'saint' in his mouth. One sword breaks ten saints, which means that Di Yi defeated ten saints at Lingjuan Hill. How is that possible? Wasn't that the work of the Azure Feather Sword Saint?

Di Yi was also very surprised to hear this. Not many people knew the inside story of the battle at Lingjuan Hill. The Death Zen Sect had been staying overseas for many years, so how could they be so well-informed?

"It was only by borrowing the holy energy of Senior Qingyu Sword Saint and the power of the Zhutian Sword that I relied on, not on my own strength."

He did not deny it, which immediately drew gasps of surprise.

"Not many people know about this. How did Master Bujie find out about it?"

Master Bujie smiled and said, "So you don't know yet, but Sect Master Mei of the Qin Sect has compiled your story of fighting ten saints alone with a sword on Lingjuan Hill into a book, which has attracted disciples of the four sects of Confucianism and Taoism to read it. This matter has already caused a stir in the Confucian and Taoist circles of the Central Region, but it has not yet spread to the Eastern Region."

"I see." Di Yi was somewhat amused and exasperated. This Mr. Mei had gone to great lengths, even risking his own status as a great Confucian scholar, to clear Di Yi's name.

Upon hearing this, the fat and thin monks felt even more admiration. Sword, palm, and claw are all supreme holy paths, and anyone who can cultivate any one of them to the level of Emperor Yi deserves the title of genius.

The vast majority of semi-saints in the Kunlun Realm cultivate only the Great Way and the Minor Way of Sainthood. Among them, only one in ten can cultivate a Supreme Sainthood.

Even the brilliant Death Zen Patriarch, when he was a semi-saint, only focused on the Dao of Mastery. However, he later created the Death Zen Buddhist Dharma and forged his own path.

Master Bujie then looked at the two monks and reprimanded them, "You two are used to being arrogant in the Southern Region and have always looked down on everyone. Second Brother has been focused on cultivating the Death Zen Buddhist Dharma and has no time to discipline you. Now that you have come to the Eastern Region and entered the Black Market's territory, you have done such a thing that oversteps your bounds. Benefactor Di Yi has shown mercy and spared your lives. If you encounter other people in the future, it will not be so simple."

"Disciple was wrong, and will follow Master's teachings." The two monks put their hands together and bowed to Master Bujie.

Just then, the voice of the head of the First-Class Hall came from inside the hall.

"Di Yi, come in."

Master Bujie admonished the two monks, telling them to continue waiting outside the hall, while he and Emperor Yi re-entered the hall.

Inside the main hall, the head of the First-Class Hall sat in the main seat. To the left of the hall sat the Gun Saint and Murong Ye Hai. To the right, there were two seats. One was empty, belonging to the Unrestrained Buddhist Master, and the other was occupied by a handsome, fair-skinned, beardless monk, presumably the third disciple of the Dead Zen Patriarch, the Colorless Buddhist Master.

The colorless Buddhist master smiled slightly at Di Yi, then turned to look at the head of the First-Class Hall and said, "What has the head of the First-Class Hall thought? The news of the miraculous medicine that brings the dead back to life was obtained by our sect's saints at a great cost. If the Death Zen Sect had not been based in the Southern Region, it would not have come to the Black Market First-Class Hall for cooperation."

The head of Yipin Hall pondered for a moment and did not answer the colorless Buddhist master directly. After thinking for a while, he replied, "The Tomb of Fallen Gods is full of dangers. The miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life is just a legend. Now that the Holy King's Mansion of the Eastern Region is launching a large-scale invasion of the evil land of the Eastern Region, I really have no time to deal with other matters."

The colorless Buddhist master and the unrestrained Buddhist master exchanged a glance, understanding the subtle refusal in the words of the head of the First-Class Hall.

Master Bujie sighed softly and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "In that case, this humble monk will not disturb you any longer."

The colorless Buddhist master also rose and bowed to the head of the First-Class Hall, the Gun Saint, and Murong Ye Hai to bid them farewell.

The two walked past Di Yi, both nodding and smiling, displaying a unique friendliness.

After the two left, the Gun Saint frowned and said, "They just left like that? They came with such a large force, only to leave empty-handed. This doesn't seem like the style of the Death Zen Cult."

The head of Yipintang said in a deep voice, "They may not really want to cooperate with the black market. I think their purpose is to spread the news that there is a miraculous medicine for bringing the dead back to life in the Tomb of Fallen Gods. If I'm not mistaken, other forces in the Eastern Region should also get this news."

“There are quite a few venerable saints in the Eastern Region whose lifespans are nearing their end. If the news spreads that there's a miraculous medicine for resurrection within the Fallen Gods' Tomb Forest, whether true or false, many will surely venture there hoping to try their luck. Is this the purpose of the Death Zen Sect? What benefit do they gain from luring the saints into the Fallen Gods' Tomb Forest?” Murong Ye Hai was also very puzzled. Di Yi overheard their words, considered many things, and guessed the Death Zen Sect's true purpose in coming to the Eastern Region.

About a year ago, in order to find a way to fight against Empress Chi Yao, the Old Ancestor of Death Zen entered the underworld of the Fallen Gods' Tomb Forest, hoping to find the divine corpse of the god that Empress Qian Gu killed 100,000 years ago.

After searching, the Old Ancestor of Death Zen found the divine corpse in the Valley of Ghosts and Gods in the heart of the underworld. However, in the Valley of Ghosts and Gods, in addition to the divine corpse, there was also the overlord of the outer edge of the underworld, the God of Beginning Ghost King.

The Divine Beginning Ghost King was a Ghost King at the peak of the Six Tribulations Realm, comparable to a Saint King at the peak. He was formed from the remnant soul of the divine corpse. When the Old Ancestor of Death Zen discovered him, he was breaking through to the Seven Tribulations Ghost King Realm. Once he successfully broke through, he could activate the remaining divine power within the divine corpse, merge with the divine corpse, and become an extremely powerful Ghost Emperor.

At that time, the old Zen master who mistakenly entered the place will only face certain death.

In order to survive and obtain the divine corpse, the Old Ancestor of Death Zen engaged in a battle with the Ghost King of the Beginning God. However, Ghost Valley was the Ghost King of the Beginning God's home ground. Although the Old Ancestor of Death Zen suppressed the Ghost King of the Beginning God, he himself was also in danger. Since cultivators in the mortal realm cannot recover their cultivation in the underworld, if this dragged on, the Old Ancestor of Death Zen would inevitably die from exhaustion.

Knowing that he could not continue to drag things out like this, the Old Ancestor of Death Zen drew out the Void Sword that Empress Qian Gu had left behind to suppress the divine corpse, controlled a ghost general of impermanence, and had it send the Void Sword out of the Tomb of Fallen Gods.

After the Void Sword left the Fallen God's Tomb Forest, the seal between the Yin and Yang realms weakened, allowing the Old Ancestor of Death Zen to send out a distress message. The message reached the Southern Region, and the members of the Death Zen Sect rushed to the Fallen God Mountain Range.

The miraculous medicine that could bring the dead back to life was nothing but a lie fabricated by a few Buddhist masters of the Death Zen Sect. Their purpose was to lure a group of experts from the Kunlun Realm into the underworld, attracting the attention of the ghost kings there, so as to create an opportunity for them to rescue the Death Zen Patriarch.

"Di Yi, I heard you went to hunt down the half-saints of the Xu Sheng Clan, did you find anything?" asked the head of the First-Class Hall.

Once the Emperor came to his senses and remembered the purpose of his trip, he recounted what had happened in the Tomb of Fallen Gods.

“The Sword Saint Xuanji is the wielder of the Sky-Piercing Sword. I suspect that the Undying Blood Clan wants to lure him into the Tomb of Fallen Gods and steal the Sky-Piercing Sword.”

After listening to Di Yi's description, the expressions of the Hall Master of Yipin Hall and the two Holy Elders became more solemn. First it was the Death Zen Sect, and now it was the Undying Blood Clan. The area outside Liangyi Sect has truly become a place of trouble, with powerful dragons gathering. It is unknown whether Liangyi Sect, as a local snake, can suppress them.

The Sword Saint Xuanji is the head of the Eastern Sacred Academy. If he were ambushed, seriously injured, or even killed, it would be a good thing for the Black Market. However, since the attackers are the Undying Blood Clan, the Sword Saint Xuanji's life or death seems unimportant. If the Sky-Piercing Sword falls into the hands of the Undying Blood Clan, that would be a major event that endangers the entire Kunlun Realm.

"I must report this matter to the Grand Steward." The Hall Master of Yipin Hall pondered. In the battle of Dingxuan Prefecture, the Yellow Heaven Blood Emperor died at the hands of Nangong Shi. The Undying Blood Clan and the Black Market are now locked in a life-or-death struggle. If the Undying Blood Clan were to seize the six Holy Swords and release the Underworld King, the first thing they would do would be to deal with the imperial court, and the second would probably be the Black Market.

Boom!

Just then, a loud noise came from outside the hall, and the entire valley trembled.

As the long night drew to a close, before the dawn had even broken in the east, two dazzling beams of holy light had already risen from the Fallen God Mountain Range in the south.

A beam of light cleaved the yin and yang of heaven and earth, tearing open the night sky. It was thousands of miles high, like a calamity from the heavens, and fell on the Fallen God Mountain Range, landing at the location of the Fallen God Tomb Forest.

Whether it's Shentai City or the Liangyi Sect's mountain gate, everyone in the prefecture where the Liangyi Sect is located can see this light as long as they look up. After a little discernment, they can discover that it is actually a sword light.

Clashing with the sword light was a crimson blood sun releasing overwhelming blood energy. Although its blood energy was not as strong as that of the Yellow Heaven Blood Emperor, the difference was not far off. It was a high-level Saint King of the Undying Blood Clan.

"Old Daoist Taiyi, you dare to ruin the great affairs of the Undying Blood Clan? Aren't you afraid that my Blood Emperor will trample down the gates of the Two Elements Sect?"

An ancient voice emanated from the Blood Sun, its sound resounding for thousands of miles, echoing throughout heaven and earth.

The head of Yipintang and Di Yi and the others walked out of the main hall and stood in the valley, looking towards the direction of the Fallen God's Tomb Forest.

Seeing that the sword light, which was thousands of miles high, had destroyed most of Xueyang with a single strike, they were astonished.

"Even the old Taoist Taiyi has made a move," the Gun Saint exclaimed in amazement.

Taiyi Daoist is the true foundation of the Liangyi Sect. He has lived for over a thousand years and his cultivation is infinitely close to that of a Great Sage. He is one of the most powerful people in the Eastern Region besides the Evil Emperor Xia Han.

He held a very high seniority within the Liangyi Sect and was revered as the Taiyi Ancestor.

"With the World Banquet about to begin, the appearance of the Undying Blood Clan at this time naturally forces the Liangyi Sect to use some swift and decisive measures to deter all sides." The head of the First-Rank Hall looked at the world-destroying sword light and couldn't help but sigh. If the imperial court hadn't prohibited Saint King level experts from participating in worldly disputes, how could it have been their turn to stir up trouble?

"With the old Taoist Taiyi taking action, it will be difficult for the Undying Blood Clan to seize the Heaven-Reaching Sword. There's no need to trouble the Grand Steward."
