Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 254 Kunlun Kongyue
After leaving the Temple of Truth, Di Yi headed straight for the Divine Firmament Dojo.

Today, the Shenxiao Dojo is radiant with holy light and bustling with activity.

More than a year has passed. In addition to Di Yi himself breaking through the Sea of ​​Truth and obtaining a large number of Truth Seals, other cultivators in the Kunlun Realm have also gradually shown their talents and obtained some additional cultivation slots. Although they cannot compare with him, their numbers are numerous and the total is quite considerable.

At the entrance of the dojo, stood a young man and a young woman. They looked quite young, but they were already Saint Realm cultivators.

Di Yi returned to his original form and walked towards the gate of the dojo.

When the man and woman saw him, they quickly stepped forward to greet him and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Uncle."

Di Yi frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

The young woman among them respectfully said, "We are cultivators from the Di family. We were able to cultivate to sainthood thanks to the resources sent back to the clan by our clan uncle. Half a year ago, Great Sage Nangong sent two Truth Seal Tokens to the Di family, and the two of us were qualified to cultivate in the Temple of Truth."

Di Yi suddenly realized and asked, "How is the Di family now?"

"Reporting to our clan uncle, there are many talented young people in the clan. However, they have not been cultivating for long and have not yet become saints. But in a few years, our Di family will definitely be able to catch up with those ancient families and ancient clans."

"If my uncle has time to go back, he will definitely be surprised by the changes in the Di family."

The young man said, "The young people in the clan all admire you, Uncle, and regard you as a god. Their greatest desire is to meet you and receive your guidance."

"The various forces in the Kunlun Realm are now very polite to the cultivators of the Di family, saying that the reason why their clan's prodigies were able to enter the Temple of Truth for cultivation is all thanks to you, Uncle."

Di Yi smiled faintly and asked, "What are your names?"

"Emperor Qingyue".

"Emperor Green Pine".

"Qingyue and Qingsong, you have already become saints at such a young age, which shows that you have great talent. Since this is our first meeting, I don't have anything good to give you. These are two ancient saint herbs that are ten thousand years old. You should each take one. The opportunity to cultivate in the Temple of Truth is very precious. The more truth rules you comprehend, the more it will help your future cultivation." Di Yi took out two ancient saint herbs that he had dug out from the Conferred God Platform and handed them to the two of them.

Both of them were shocked. A ten-thousand-year-old sacred herb was a treasure that even Saint Kings would covet back in the Shatuo Heavenly Domain. Now they actually managed to obtain one.

"Thank you, Uncle. Qingyue will definitely cultivate diligently and comprehend more truths and rules."

"Uncle, rest assured, Qingsong will not let you down."

The two were like they'd been injected with adrenaline, full of fighting spirit.

Emperor Yi nodded and stepped into the Divine Firmament Dojo. There were many unfamiliar faces in the dojo, many of whom were very young and had only recently entered the Saint Realm.

Although Kunlun Realm has only recently returned to the Heavenly Court, it possesses time-space treasures such as the Heavenly Wheel Seal and the Tower of Babel, along with a vast amount of cultivation resources, enough to cultivate a large number of young saints in a short period of time.

As Di Yi was observing, the Holy Book Talent and Wan Canglan emerged from the depths of the dojo. They had sensed Di Yi's presence and had come out to greet him.

Following them were the other seven members of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the eight world masters of the Kunlun Realm, Luo Xu, Wan Zhaoyi, and others.

With the time array in place, more than a year has passed, and everyone has been cultivating for five or six years. The cultivation environment in the Realm of Truth is incomparable to that of the Kunlun Realm. The improvement in cultivation brought by five or six years is greater than the improvement they have made in the past decades or hundreds of years.

A group of Saint King-level powerhouses, even the weakest of whom possessed near-perfect physiques, gathered together. This was a sight that could only appear in a powerful realm. The Kunlun Realm now possessed some of the grandeur of a powerful realm, at least that was what was visible before them.

Di Yi's gaze, however, was drawn to a young couple behind Chi Wansui, one of the Eight Great Realm Princes.

The boy and girl looked very young, only eleven or twelve years old, but they had already become saints.

Under Di Yi's watchful gaze, their secrets could not be hidden. The boy possessed the body of a true god, while the girl had the innate chaotic body of the five elements.

Both of them were surrounded by divine light, possessing the highest and most perfect physique.

The body of a true god can only be possessed by the descendants of gods, and the Five Elements Chaos Body is even rarer.

Their identities are not hard to guess; they are the twins born to Empress Chi Yao and Zhang Ruochen.

"They really do look alike," Di Yi thought to himself as he looked at the boy and girl.

The brother and sister noticed Di Yi's gaze, but instead of being afraid, they showed curiosity and met his eyes.

"You've finally emerged from seclusion." The talented woman from the Holy Book stepped forward, her tone gentle, but her expression betrayed her weariness.

"It seems a lot has happened during this time. Tell me, what important things have occurred during my seclusion?" Di Yi strode forward, and the cultivators of Kunlun Realm automatically parted to make way for him. Apart from the Holy Book Talent, only a few people followed. The rest of them consciously stopped, understanding that they were not qualified to participate.

Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle stood beside Chi Wansui, one on the left and one on the right, their youthful faces showing a touch of innocence.

"Is he the greatest hero in the Kunlun Realm in 100,000 years? Even more powerful than that great demon Zhang Ruochen, Emperor Yi?" Chi Kongle asked in a low voice, watching the figure disappear into the depths of the dojo.

“He is indeed very strong, even stronger than Zhang Ruochen, but Kunlun, Kong Le, Zhang Ruochen is our Chi family’s enemy. The matter of revenge must be done by the Chi family members themselves. Don’t expect others to do it,” Chi Wansui said coldly, his tone full of hatred and killing intent.

Back then, Zhang Ruochen led the old troops of the Holy Ming Central Empire to break into the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion, killed the Lingxiao Heavenly King, and none of the Chi family members in the mansion survived; they were all wiped out.

Chi Wansui escaped the calamity because he was cultivating in the central imperial city. After learning that the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion had been destroyed, his Dao heart was almost shattered. He cultivated in the Heavenly Wheel Seal for decades and his cultivation improved a lot, but his inner demons became stronger and stronger. He hated Zhang Ruochen to the bone and wished he could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

He was naturally aware of Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle's identities. The two had grown up inside the Heavenly Wheel Seal since childhood, and he had practically raised them single-handedly.

For a long time, Chi Wansui didn't know how to face the children born to his most respected empress and his most hated enemy.

"I will personally kill that scoundrel Zhang Ruochen to avenge the tragic deaths of my clansmen in the Lingxiao Heavenly King's Mansion," Chi Kunlun said fiercely, gripping the holy sword at his waist.

“Brother is right. We must kill Zhang Ruochen with our own hands and make him pay for the death of the Chi family,” Chi Kongle echoed.

The Kunlun cultivators around them, seeing this, all kept their eyes downcast and remained silent, scattering away without saying a word.

When Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle saw this scene, they immediately mistakenly thought that the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm looked down on them and believed that they could not possibly kill Zhang Ruochen.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance and made up their minds.

……

Deep within the dojo, only the five women—the Holy Book Talent, Luo Xu, Ling Feiyu, Wan Zhaoyi, and Zi Qian—were with Emperor Yi.

"Over the past year, the Heavenly Realm factions have secretly instigated dozens of conflicts, either by sending assassin kings to assassinate people or by provoking Kunlun Realm cultivators who went to the Temple of Truth to cultivate. They have used any means necessary, both overt and covert, and many Kunlun Realm cultivators have been seriously injured by them. Even the Holy King Li Xian was injured by the Swift Raven and almost lost all his cultivation."

The talented woman recounted the events of the past year in detail.

"Where is King Li Qian now?" Di Yi asked.

Li Qian was one of the first seven people from the Kunlun Realm to come to the Temple of Truth to cultivate, and she is a representative figure of the younger generation of the Savage Beast Clan.

"He has been sent back to Mount Jiuli in the Kunlun Realm by Emperor Li to recuperate from his injuries. Only in the ruins of Mount Jiuli can Saint King Li Xian recover from the Dao injury left by Xun Ya."

"Saint King Li Qian is an ancient remnant with a powerful physical body, so he escaped this calamity. But the other cultivators were not so lucky. They lost all their martial arts cultivation and were almost crippled," the talented woman of the Sacred Book said with a face full of grief and indignation.

"The Heavenly Realm factions are so openly targeting cultivators from the Kunlun Realm, doesn't the Temple of Truth care?"

"Those divine disciples of the Temple of Truth are all aligned with the Heavenly Realm faction. They never speak up for the Kunlun Realm cultivators. They only arrive slowly after the attack is over. The Heavenly Realm faction cultivators only cripple their cultivation, not kill them. They haven't completely violated the rules of the Temple of Truth, so those divine disciples pretend not to see it and let them commit their crimes," Wan Zhaoyi said angrily.

“Swift Raven is the leader of the Blood War Temple, with the cultivation of a Seven-Step Saint King. If I were to face him one-on-one, I would be 30% confident of defeating him, and 80% confident of a draw. However, I haven’t found an opportunity to make a one-on-one attack.” Ling Feiyu suddenly spoke, as if explaining.

Di Yi then realized that Ling Feiyu's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the Six-Step Saint King realm. In a battle between people of the same realm, with her superb swordsmanship, Xun Ya might not be her match.

"The opportunity will come soon. Since the factions in the Heavenly Realm are pressing us step by step, let's fight them."

"Is it finally time to make a move?" A sharp sword aura surged from Zi Qian's eyes. Although it was not as amazing as Ling Feiyu's, after cultivating the Supreme Perfection Physique, her combat power had already reached the top level among the younger generation of cultivators in the Kunlun Realm, surpassing the other Realm Sons.

“The number of cultivators from the Kunlun Realm practicing in the Realm of Truth is increasing, and one Divine Firmament Dojo is no longer sufficient to meet the demand. It’s time to take back the other dojos.” Di Yi paused here, then continued, “Of course, this also includes the Sumeru Dojo.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, their faces showing disbelief.

"To wage a full-scale war against the Heavenly Realm factions in the Realm of Truth? Isn't that too risky?" Luo Xu, who hadn't spoken until now, frowned.

"Either we don't fight, or we go all out and make the Heavenly Realm faction pay a heavy price." After his cultivation greatly improved, Di Yi was no longer afraid of the leaders of the Heavenly Realm faction. In particular, the most powerful one, Zhou Yu, had left the Truth Heaven Domain, leaving only a group of cultivators led by Shang Zixuan, whose strongest cultivation was only seven or eight steps Saint King.

Just as the group was about to discuss their next move, Wan Canglan suddenly burst in.

"Something terrible has happened! Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle have left the Shenxiao Dojo without permission and their whereabouts are unknown," Wan Canglan said anxiously.

"What? They're only Saints, how could they possibly escape without everyone's knowledge?" The Holy Book Talent's expression also changed drastically. The Heavenly Realm faction had always had powerful figures secretly monitoring the Divine Firmament Dojo. If they discovered Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle, it would be troublesome.

Seemingly worried that Di Yi might not understand the importance of the two, the Holy Book Talent immediately transmitted her thoughts through mental power: "Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle are the Empress's...disciples. The Empress values ​​them highly, and they cannot be harmed."

Di Yi, however, appeared quite calm. He looked at Wan Canglan and asked, "Where is Chi Wansui?"

"Upon learning the news, Lord Chi immediately went after him." The talented woman from the Holy Book was exceptionally intelligent and understood instantly.

"Chi Wansui has gone mad. He actually used two children. If anything happens to Kunlun and Kong Le, he won't be able to pay for it even if he has ten lives."

The talented woman from the sacred book cast a pleading look at Emperor Yi.

Di Yi smiled thoughtfully and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to bring those two children back."

When the talented woman met his ambiguous smile, she realized that Di Yi had already seen through the true origins of the two children.

This is not a difficult task. After all, Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle are almost identical, making it hard not to have some thoughts.

It's no secret that Zhang Ruochen was Empress Chi Yao's fiancé eight hundred years ago; many people in Heaven and Hell know this.

……

Inside the Sacred City of Tiandu Mountain, at the Moon Goddess's Dojo.

Zhang Ruochen's holy energy circulated within his body, unleashing a powerful force that sent the young man and woman flying dozens of feet away.

Xiao Hei, Zhenmiao Daoist who was brought out of the Conferred God Platform by Zhang Ruochen, and a group of young geniuses from the Guanghan Realm did not dare to make a move.

It was clear that the young man and woman looked very similar to Zhang Ruochen, and their relationship must be extraordinary.

Zhang Ruochen looked at the young man in the python robe and saw Chi Yao's shadow in him, and there was also a resemblance between his own eyebrows.

He had mixed feelings as he walked towards the little girl, who resembled him even more than the boy in the python robe.

……

"Chi Kunlun, Chi Kongle..."

Zhang Ruochen read out the two names, especially the two characters 'Kong Le', his fingers clenched tightly, and his heart ached.

Eight hundred years ago, the night before Zhang Ruochen was killed by Chi Yao, they were embracing each other on Kongle Mountain outside the city, enjoying the night view of the entire imperial city.

Eight hundred years later, Chi Yao transformed into Huang Yanchen. When she first met Zhang Ruochen, the two went to Kongle Mountain, where they nestled together and admired the brightly lit ancient city of Shengming.

A moment later, Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle escaped from the Moon Goddess Dojo in a disheveled state, naturally at the behest of Zhang Ruochen.

After escaping from Tiandu Mountain Holy City, the two met Chi Wansui, who was standing with his hands behind his back and wearing Azure Dragon Armor, waiting for them at the top of a small hill.

After briefly inquiring about the two men's encounter with Zhang Ruochen, Chi Wansui sighed and told them to leave first.

Using family ties as leverage, Zhang Ruochen was forced to fight against his children at the same level. Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle were incredibly powerful at the same level, possessing supreme perfect physiques and being masters of time and space respectively. They were destined to grow into invincible leaders in the future. However, even when they joined forces, they could not defeat Zhang Ruochen at the same level, leaving Chi Wansui with a deep sense of powerlessness.

His purpose in coming here was not truly to have Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle kill Zhang Ruochen. His real aim was to use them to lure Zhang Ruochen out so that he could then fight him.

The blood feud with the Heavenly King of Lingxiao can only be avenged by one's own actions to dispel inner demons.

After Chi Kunlun and Chi Kongle walked away, Chi Wansui surveyed the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "Come out, I know you're nearby."

Zhang Ruochen's figure emerged from the void, his voice icy: "Knowing I'm here, why aren't you running away?"

On another hill not far away, Di Yi, dressed in black robes, stood beside the talented scholar and Wan Canglan.

"Should we make a move? Zhang Ruochen looks furious; Chi Wansui is no match for him," the Holy Book Talented Woman said with some concern.

Although she found Chi Wansui's behavior somewhat despicable, he was, after all, one of the world leaders of the Kunlun Realm. If Zhang Ruochen were to kill him in a fit of anger, the situation would become even more complicated.

"People always have to pay the price for their mistakes, and besides, he may not want us to take action." Di Yi seemed indifferent. Compared to the love and hatred between the Zhang and Chi families, he was more interested in Zhang Ruochen's current strength. Zhang Ruochen was a potential partner in dealing with the Heavenly Realm factions.

After all, there are still many Daoist temples in the Guanghan Realm that are in the hands of the Heavenly Realm faction. Back then, in order to deal with Zhang Ruochen, the cultivators of the Heavenly Court faction even captured many of the old followers of the Holy Emperor from the Kunlun Realm. The two sides had long harbored deep hatred for each other.

Chi Wansui's cultivation had reached the fifth step of Saint King, and he could fight against ordinary sixth step Saint Kings, but he was no match for Zhang Ruochen.

He was rendered powerless to resist by a single punch and collapsed in a pool of blood.

Zhang Ruochen stopped attacking and instead turned his gaze to the hill where Di Yi and the other two were located.

"Who goes there? Now that you're here, why don't you dare show your face?"

The talented woman from the sacred book wanted to go see him directly, but Di Yi stopped her with a gesture.

"I'll go and have a go at him."

Di Yi smiled faintly, and a wisp of primordial essence flew out from his body, condensing into the shape of a white-robed monk. He then took a step and flew towards Zhang Ruochen.

"What an amazing successor of time and space! I, the King, will have a go at you."

Before he finished speaking, a golden palm print descended from the sky and landed on Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation level is only at the fourth step of Saint King, but his combat strength is so strong that he has a considerable chance of defeating a seventh step Saint King.

At this moment, however, he felt immense pressure from the white-robed monk, who seemed to be only a fourth-step Saint King.

"who are you?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen also unleashed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to meet the attack, while simultaneously mobilizing the truth rules within his body to deliver a palm strike with five times the power.

The white-robed monk also invoked the rules of truth, but the power he unleashed was six times greater.

The two palm prints collided, raising countless dust particles, and the aftershocks alone aggravated Chi Wansui's injuries considerably.

Zhang Ruochen retreated dozens of feet and landed on a huge rock, solemnly scrutinizing the newcomer.

"You are not a Fourth-Step Saint King. A Fourth-Step Saint King could not possibly have cultivated the Path of Truth to such an extent. Who exactly are you?"

The white-robed monk is a primordial body condensed by Emperor Yi using the formless and shapeless Thirty-Six Transformations combined with the primordial Dao.

When the Thirty-Six Transformations of Formlessness and Invisibility are cultivated to their ultimate level, one can condense thirty-six clones. Emperor Yi has only condensed one clone so far.

Moreover, the power that this clone can unleash is only about 30% of that of the original.

He wanted to continue probing Zhang Ruochen's background, but suddenly felt an extremely powerful aura rapidly approaching.

In the sky, the sound of rushing river waves could be heard, but before the waves arrived, longswords as fine as raindrops appeared.

The Rain Silk Holy Sword is the personal sacred weapon of the Celestial Fairy Luo Ji.

More than a year has passed, and Luo Ji's cultivation has reached the peak of the Seven-Step Saint King level. Her swordsmanship is also extremely high. On the Rain Silk Saint Sword, there is sword dao profound energy that has been condensed to the extreme.

The white-robed monk's clone remained calm and unleashed the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, his body radiating golden Buddhist light as the rain-soaked holy sword fell upon him, producing a sound like metal clashing.

After the fierce and rapid attack, not a single mark was left on his body.

Luo Ji landed beside Zhang Ruochen, several feet apart.

"The golden body of Buddhism... More than a year has passed, and the master's cultivation has improved considerably. He has even mastered an invincible secret technique of Buddhism. Is this due to the divine spring?"

Upon hearing Luo Ji's words, Zhang Ruochen finally understood the origin of the person before him.

At the Conferred God Platform Conference more than a year ago, Gu Feng stood out from the crowd and seized the largest number of divine springs. Gu Feng also had a mysterious companion, the white-robed monk in front of him.

After the Conferred Gods Assembly ended, the two disappeared without a trace and never appeared again.

Zhang Ruochen himself also collected a lot of divine spring water, but he was invited by the Thousand Star Celestial Maiden Yu Chenjing, so his true identity could not be hidden, and he could not swallow the divine spring water alone.

Especially given the background of the Tianchu civilization searching the world for the divine spring.

The reason why Luo Ji appeared here is because the Tianchu Civilization made a deal with Zhang Ruochen, or rather, the gods of the Tianchu Civilization made a deal with the Moon God, and obtained most of the divine spring from Zhang Ruochen.

The treasures obtained from the transaction naturally went into the hands of the Moon Goddess. All Zhang Ruochen received was an IOU and the protection of the Tianchu Civilization.

"Amitabha, what is Fairy Tianchu saying? It was Gu Feng who seized the Divine Spring, not this humble monk. How could this humble monk have the Divine Spring to refine it?"

“Master, there’s no need to be so wary. The Tianchu Civilization is willing to pay a sufficient price to exchange for the divine spring in your possession. Master, just say what you want.” Luo Ji could sense the terrifying aura emanating from the white-robed monk and understood that keeping him here would not be an easy task.
