I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 111 Flying to the Moon
Mountain and sea realm.

Behind him, a thick fog stretched out, and ahead lay a vast emptiness as Li Jun looked down from Taoshan Island.

The first things you see are the Kaiming Kingdom and the Kunlun Hanging Garden, then the Buzhou Mountain Heavenly Pillar, and then, using these two as coordinates, you gradually recognize the surrounding broken ruins and the Mountain and Sea Kingdom.

"Buzhou Mountain!"

"Cold and hot waters, the land of Kuafu, the land of Nüba..."

"We can explore this place, but we probably won't find much. However, we might find some ancient cultivation methods, but most of the immortal artifacts are in the immortal realm."

"And there, it should be the Plain of Su Guang."

Standing atop the massive dock built by the Eastern Kingdom, Li Jun casually recited something to the people below.

Meanwhile, someone was recording Li Jun's words. He had intentionally revealed them, because any ordinary information he revealed at this moment could represent a major gain for Dongguo and the Men base.

The man asked, "The one from the vast plains of millet, the intestines of Nuwa?"

Li Jun said, "That place should be connected to the intestines of Nuwa in reality. Just know that, and don't go near it."

The other person asked, "Aren't you going to explore it beforehand?"

Li Jun: "You can't explore this, and I've already gone down to check it out."

As the things below surfaced one by one, the appearance of this mountain and sea realm increasingly resembled the Great Wilderness that Li Jun was familiar with.

Soon, the main force of the Gate Base was ready and boarded a series of technologically advanced peach wood boats to head to the lower level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Li Jun stood on the lead ship. There were few people on the deck, except for a few extraordinary individuals from the Peach Witch Path who were determining the location and doing something similar to navigation.

Suddenly, Li Jun looked up and saw several streaks of light, like shooting stars, falling from the sky and crashing into the ruins below.

"what is that?"

The staff member who was standing next to Li Jun and was responsible for relaying messages to him immediately provided an answer.

"That means someone in the mortal world has entered the Mountain and Sea Realm."

Li Jun: "How did you do that?"

Staff member: "Currently, there are two main ways to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm. The Changsheng Temple mainly allows people to go to the Mountain and Sea Realm by abandoning their physical bodies, but most of the time they actually retain the bodies of their disciples."

Li Jun suddenly remembered something: "The Mountain and Sea Game?"

Staff member: "Yes."

He continued, "We allow superhumans to enter the lower levels through gate bases, or we expel superhumans from the upper levels through rituals, but once they enter, they are generally not allowed to return."

Li Jun looked up and asked, "So those were people from the Changsheng Temple entering the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

The staff member said, "It's not necessarily the concept of immortality. Some other forces also enter the world of mountains and seas through some more extreme methods and loopholes. We are currently collecting relevant information."

Li Jun went back to his cabin and lay down for a while. He didn't know how much time had passed when the fleet from the gate base arrived at its destination.

Li Jun looked out the window.

In the void, there floated a divine mountain radiating several layers of light, as if a rainbow were wrapped around it, but upon closer inspection, it also resembled the spiritual light behind the heads of gods and bodhisattvas.

Because it's quite far away, the mountain doesn't look very big.

"Sun and Moon Mountain, an ancient mountain and sea relic".

Upon seeing the mountain, a special alarm sounded throughout the fleet, ships began to slow down, and everyone on board was mobilized.

Some people took out various equipment and instruments on the deck, while others began to enter the void.

This is the first time anyone has arrived here since Riyue Mountain was discovered.

Next, the fleet was disturbed several times as it passed through the void. The first time, they discovered the shadow of the divine tree Ruomu. The second time, they saw a mirage from mythology, not a mirage at all, but a real ancient mountain and sea kingdom. Some people even vaguely saw the shadow of the demon god Shen.

The third time, Sun and Moon Mountain had grown to the size of a continent. Looking ahead, one could no longer see the void, but only layers upon layers of colorful light and the mountain ranges that stretched out to both sides from the depths of the colorful light.

On the Sun and Moon Mountain, there stands a huge gate, which is inserted behind the mountain as if to hide it.

The layers of colorful light on this sacred mountain are emitted from this door.

"What is that? Did you all see it?"

There is a door.

"This door is huge, what's it for?"

"The extraordinary fluctuations have obscured everything; it's very dangerous here."

On the fleet, someone quickly ran up to Li Jun. Unlike when they encountered the mirage before, they were just passing by. Now they were going to go deep into it, so they naturally wanted to check the danger.

Li Jun said, "One of the pivots of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Gate of Wu Ji!"

Li Jun knew this. Although it was called the Heavenly Gate, it was not the one in the Heavenly Realm. It was created in the later period after Li Jun established the Heavenly Court, and its purpose was to prepare for the severing of the connection between Heaven and Earth.

The power of the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Realm covers the entire Great Wilderness, and the laws of the Demon Gods have been gradually sorted out. This Wu Ji Heavenly Gate is not only an entrance from the Great Wilderness to Earth, but also the final sealing location.

Once the Wu Ji Heavenly Gate is closed, the sun, moon, and stars will form their own system, and the Heavenly Realm and the Great Wilderness will no longer need to contact the outside world.

Someone asked, "What is the Wu Ji Tianmen used for? Is it dangerous?"

The uses of this skill are too complicated, so Li Jun explained the use that others could easily understand.

"The gate through which the sun and moon rise."

"You can't go in. As long as you don't go in, there's no danger."

"Also, you must not get close when the sun and moon emerge from it."

We arrived at Riyue Mountain.

The fleet stopped, and some people climbed the mountain. When they got close to the Wu Ji Tianmen, they saw a stone tablet below and discovered the inscription on it.

Nowadays, some people in the Eastern Kingdom are also able to translate, and besides the name of Sun and Moon Mountain, the most important thing is the record on it about the Heavenly Emperor.

"It is said that the Heavenly Emperor ordered them to build this Wu Ji Heavenly Gate."

"The celestial pivot controls the sun, moon, and stars; this is the place that controls the sun, moon, and stars?"

"The Heavenly Realm was mentioned above. Isn't the Mountain and Sea Realm the Heavenly Realm?"

Is there another place called the Celestial Realm?

Everyone saw the stone tablet, but compared to the Wu Ji Tianmen, they seemed more interested in the thing that contained information.

One of the most frequently mentioned questions is...

"Who is the Heavenly Emperor mentioned on the stone tablet?"

Among the crowd, several people suddenly turned their gaze to the leading ship, and they were looking at Li Jun.

After all, there was a rumor that Li Jun was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun from that day. Although no one has confirmed this rumor, many people believe it.

Upon arriving at Riyue Mountain, we stood beneath Wuji Tianmen, but this time the true target had not yet appeared.

"The moon over the mountains and seas has not yet risen."

Li Jun waited, while the others explored beneath Wu Jitian Gate.

However, because of Li Jun's reminder, no one dared to enter the Heavenly Gate, which was never meant for people to enter or leave from the moment it was built.

Finally, at a certain point in time, the extraordinary individuals in Sun and Moon Mountain began to retreat back to their ships in large numbers.

"Time is up."

"Come back quickly!"

According to Li Jun's calculations of the Great Wilderness's time, it was time for the moon to rise, but when everyone looked at Sun and Moon Mountain and Wu Ji Heavenly Gate, they saw nothing.

"what happened?"

"No movement."

"I made a mistake."

“When I looked this way before, there were indeed things that looked like stars.”

Li Jun also felt a little puzzled, but he quickly realized that this was probably because the Moon Goddess Changxi had not yet truly appeared in the world, which was why such an unstable situation occurred.

Moreover, since the Moon Essence Wheel is an immortal artifact that is not activated or controlled, the rising and setting of the moon cannot operate stably.

All that was left was to wait. They waited for a long time until the moonlight finally appeared.

As the moon emerged from the Wu Ji Heavenly Gate, a strange thing happened: countless birds flew up from the Sun and Moon Mountain, appearing before the moon. These were the same birds called Yuan that Li Jun had seen before.

When the phoenix escaped, Li Jun finally approached it, stepped through the Wu Ji Heavenly Gate, and entered.

"Isn't it said that people can't go inside the door?"

"That's Li Jun!"

Immediately afterwards, a kingdom of mountains and seas flew out from Wu Ji's Heavenly Gate. It was the former Kingdom of Nuhe and the Moon Mother, which looked like a huge and beautiful moon palace from afar.

Li Jun found the Moon Essence Wheel inside. He immediately found the corresponding incantation and connected it with a portion of the power of the Investiture of the Gods, thus activating this celestial artifact.

The Moon Palace emitted light, and the enormous Moon Essence Wheel circled behind Li Jun. Finally, the real moon rose behind him, emerging from the Wu Ji Heavenly Gate.

The scene was breathtaking; everyone else was stunned, not by the power itself, but by the beauty of the sight.

And this time.

Li Jun looked towards the other end in the distance. This Wu Ji Heavenly Gate was also a hub of the Great Sun. As long as he guarded this place, the sun of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which was refined by the last Golden Crow, would surely fall here.

Sure enough, the sun's rays soon appeared.

Li Jun seems to be close to obtaining the Sun Essence Wheel. As long as the Golden Crow exists, this immortal artifact will definitely remain.

Outside Riyue Mountain.

The extraordinary beings on the ships were also waiting, watching the light of the great sun gradually condense and slowly move towards the direction of Wu Jitian Gate and Sun and Moon Mountain, as if it would eventually land here.

But the great sun, having risen halfway, neither retreated nor set behind Sun and Moon Mountain or Wu Ji Heavenly Gate, simply vanished.

Before Li Jun could speak, the others erupted in an uproar.

"Disappeared?"

Is something blocking it?

"Did you observe it?"

"It has indeed disappeared. There was nothing to cover it; it simply vanished into the realm of mountains and seas."

"Was it returned?"

At this moment, Li Jun, who was hovering with the moon above Riyue Mountain and Wuji Tianmen, said...

"Someone tampered with it."

While Li Jun was busy collecting the Moon Essence Wheel, someone took advantage of the opportunity to attack the Golden Crow and the Sun Essence Wheel. The timing was perfect, and it was clear that they had come prepared.

Soon, someone came to see Li Jun and asked him about the situation.

Li Jun said that someone had tampered with it, and the other party said so.

"I think it must be related to the Temple of Longevity, and only they could have done this."

As always, the other party set its sights on the Temple of Longevity.

Li Jun then thought of another possible being: "The God of Nuwa's Intestines".

Li Jun looked at the Guhuoniao, whose figure suddenly appeared on his robes and then disappeared, leaving behind a voice: "The God of Nuwa's Intestines has not yet awakened!"

Li Jun said, "Could it be that he's awake but pretending not to be?"

The Ubume, however, seemed to be leading the conversation in a negative direction: "Who knows? Maybe she really has already woken up."

Li Jun said, "You can't be the third-generation Xi Mu, she wouldn't say something so ironic."

In the end, it was Guhuoniao who seemed to have lost her guard.
-
They subdued the Moon Essence Wheel.

Li Jun returned to Taoshan Island and began to draw upon the power of the Moon Essence Wheel. Following the method given to him by Nuwa, he pondered how to create another thing in the manner of Zhu Jiuyin and the Moon Goddess.

"The Arrow That Shoots the Sun!"

Although neither the Sun Essence Wheel nor the Sun-Shooting Bow are currently in service, Li Jun has already begun preparations.

At this moment, Lu Gang and Zhao Nange also ran back. After Zhao Nange returned and visited Li Jun, she left immediately. She had indeed found the Chou Fairy Bottle.

Meanwhile, Lu Gang was preparing to ask Li Jun about the Sun-Shooting Bow.

However, upon learning that there was a problem with the Sun Essence Wheel, Lu Gang inquired about it as well. Lu Gang asked, "Why is it necessary to have the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel and the Sun-Shooting Bow? What is the connection between these things and Nuwa's Intestines?"

Li Jun looked at Lu Gang and said, "You saw it, didn't you? Ten suns across the sky."

Lu Gang was shocked: "Is that true?"

Li Jun's silence was the answer, and Lu Gang asked again, "How was it resolved before?"

It was because he had witnessed that scene that Lu Gang was able to understand how terrifying it was.

Li Jun said, "The Ten Suns and the Golden Crow were not the original problem. They were just derivative problems that arose from solving a larger problem. The power of Nuwa's intestines was to create heaven and earth, and Nuwa's intestines also created another power to refine and control all the demon gods. The Ten Suns were just a means to destroy heaven and earth when it finally failed."

Lu Gang didn't know what to say. He could only say that this ancient divine scheme was indeed beyond the imagination of a mortal like him.

But he quickly asked, "You mean, all of this has to happen again?"

Li Jun said, "Didn't Zhulong come again once?"

To be honest, Lu Gang was really on the verge of collapse; "When will this ever end?"

Li Jun did have something to tell Lu Gang about this answer.

He said, "It'll be soon."

Lu Gang stood up: "Really, things will get better?"

Li Jun said, "It's either for better or for worse."

Lu Gang's face darkened: "How bad are they?"

The next point in time will be when the Heavenly Court refines everything, and logically speaking, that will be the moment when all the chaos gradually returns to order.

However, for some reason, when Li Jun looked down at the shattered wilderness and the various resurrected ruins, he felt a strong sense of foreboding.

Soon, Li Jun learned about the Sun Essence Wheel.

I saw it in a video.

The news that Li Jun had taken the moon from the Mountain and Sea Realm spread far and wide, and these videos even appeared on real-world video websites, causing quite a stir.

In reality, some people look at the moon in the sky and find that the moon in the sky has also begun to show abnormalities.

On the moon.

Something strange seems to be starting to appear.

Looking at the shadow, Li Jun understood why. In ancient times, Li Jun had placed Changxi and the Moon Mother Kingdom on the moon. The moon and the immortal artifact Changxi and the Moon Essence Wheel naturally had some kind of connection.

But that's not the important thing; it's the video title.

"The simultaneous abnormality of the sun and moon is suspected to be influenced by the mountain and sea boundary."

In the subsequent video footage, Li Jun saw that the sun was also starting to have problems; someone saw the shadow of a bird in the sun.

Lu Gang asked Li Jun, "Can you confirm this?"

Li Jun nodded: "It can be basically confirmed that it should be the power of the Sun Essence Wheel."

Lu Gang said, "Someone brought them into the mortal world. What are they going to do?"

At this time, someone brought another piece of news: a mountain forest was directly evaporated, and hundreds of square kilometers were turned into desert.

Li Jun glanced at it and said, "It's the power of the Sun Essence Wheel and the Golden Crow."

Lu Gang said the same thing, but his tone was completely different: "What are they trying to do?"

Li Jun looked at Lu Gang: "Find the Sun-Shooting Bow quickly, and the trouble will be solved."

Lu Gang was a bit of a headache: "But I can't sense where this thing is at all."

Li Jun thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the video from earlier, which mentioned unusual phenomena on the moon.

He said thoughtfully, "Perhaps you could go to the moon and take a look."

Lu Gang was taken aback: "What do you mean? You want me to go to Riyue Mountain and Wuji Tianmen? But didn't you just go there? Did you miss some places?"

Li Jun shook his head: "I'm not talking about this moon."

Lu Gang suddenly realized something: "You're not talking about the moon, are you?!"

Li Jun nodded: "You can go up and take a look."

Lu Gang said, "Are you kidding me? I'm not an astronaut, and how can we land on the moon in such a rush?"

One of the staff members who had worked in the aerospace field said, "Sure, Team Leader Lu, you're not an ordinary person. You can even traverse the void with your physical body. Sending you up there is really not a difficult task for us."

Lu Gang's core team member, Lü Qing, said with a smile, "Even if the rocket or spaceship explodes in lunar orbit, team leader, you should be able to swim down by yourself, right?"

Lu Gang retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Lu Gang thought about it for a moment and realized it was indeed possible. He had traveled back and forth to this godforsaken place, the Mountain and Sea Realm, countless times. The moon was actually a better place. It was just that it was a little hard to come to terms with it for the time being.

Lu Gang was both surprised and delighted, and finally said to Li Jun.

"Since you said you'd like to go, then I'll go to the moon and take a look."

Subsequently.

That same day, Lu Gang took a special plane to the north and arrived at a launch site there late at night.
-
There has been no progress on the Sun-Shooting Bow, but there has been a major breakthrough on the Sun Essence Wheel.

This breakthrough, however, was somewhat beyond people's expectations.

First, there have been numerous incidents of people attempting to use the power of the Golden Crow and the Moon Essence Wheel, and these incidents have occurred worldwide.

"Today, the Human Alliance has begun investigating the unusual flashes of the sun, believing the phenomenon to be man-made. The investigation is now in its formal stages. Anyone who discovers anything related to this anomaly, or any superhuman connected to it, is encouraged to report to the Human Alliance..."

"At 2:30 pm today, a fire broke out in the African country of Rani, affecting an area of ​​over 100 square kilometers."

"It's 7:20 PM now. We've just received news that massive fires are breaking out frequently around the world. Experts believe that superhumans or organizations are using the sun..."

A spokesperson for the Changsheng Temple stated that this incident has nothing to do with the Changsheng Temple or the Non-Human Association.

In a spacious but somewhat monotonously decorated white room, Li Jun was watching television.

Just as Li Jun had predicted, the Golden Crow and the Sun Essence Wheel were indeed brought into reality, but the way the other party used the Golden Crow and the Sun Essence Wheel was very strange.

Since the other party does not have the corresponding double pupils, it naturally cannot control it, and it also does not have the back door that Li Jun, the Heavenly Emperor, opened for it ten thousand years ago.

However, the other party still controls this power, indiscriminately bombarding the human world, leaving people baffled as to what the entity behind it all intends to do.

But gradually, Li Jun began to see some clues, after all, he had been the true Heavenly Emperor for over a hundred years.

"Are they trying to get my attention and prevent me from noticing their real purpose?"

And the other side.

America.

While Lu Gang was heading to the moon, a launch site here was also carrying out a mission.

It seemed like a normal launch mission, but it carried something completely abnormal inside.

Several astronauts, dressed in thick spacesuits, sat together waiting for launch. But along with them, a tightly sealed metal box rose into the sky, inside which lay the immortal artifact that Li Jun and Dong Guo had been searching for.

Nisshin Wheel.

Their plan to launch the Sun Wheel into space is quite unexpected.

And at this moment.

In the Changsheng Temple in the Beiming region of the Shanhaijie area, in the city of Dushuo.

Zhang You, dressed in a Taoist robe, paced anxiously at this moment.

As the changes in the world of mountains and seas become more and more drastic, a terrifying existence like Nuwa's intestines also appears in the world, and the secrets that have emerged in the lower level are increasingly slipping out of the control of the Changsheng Temple and Zhang You.

If we say that when extraordinary beings were still rare, when few demon gods had appeared, and when the lower realm of mountains and seas had not yet revealed itself to be as vast as another Earth, then...

Both Zhou Shentong and Zhang You had a sense that they were standing at the forefront of the times, and that they were invincible and held the world in their hands.

At that time, they both had the same idea.

"I'm the strongest."

Now that Zhou Shentong is dead, Zhang You has gradually regained his senses after being severely beaten.

What's the strongest? Maybe some weird thing will crawl out from below and wipe them out along with the whole world.

They were never players, but merely pawns.

What do you mean by "ruling the sun, moon, heaven, and earth"? When those things below actually emerge, Zhang You will probably be among the first to die.

Thinking of this, Zhang You couldn't help but recall another name, and the identity that the Double-Pupil Immortal had told him about.

"Li Jun!"

"Emperor Jun!"

"The Heavenly Emperor of ancient times."

Nangang City.

While the Gate Base was searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Sun Essence Wheel and had an unimaginable number of missions, a person suddenly appeared.

He said he believed in the concept of immortality and wanted to meet the highest-ranking leader of the base.

And soon enough, he actually saw it.

He was secretly sent to the lower levels, and a meeting was soon held in response to his arrival.

"What do they mean?"

"The man Zhang You sent said he wanted to defect to us?"

“That’s right. He said he would help us take over everything from the entire Changsheng Temple and also help us uncover a huge conspiracy.”

"what happened?"

"Is it really true? Could it be a conspiracy?"

"He said he wanted to see Li Jun."

How to put it... for Li Jun, it might not be a strong feeling, but for others, to give a somewhat inappropriate example...

Two ancient states went to war, fighting to the death, each wanting to unify the world.

As a result, the emperor of the other country said he wanted to defect to your side and was willing to guide you, saying he could open the city gates of the capital.

It's hard to call it a surprise; it's more like a shock.

Soon, Li Jun also received the notification.

He said, "Let him come!"

The man passed through the heavily guarded gate at the base of the gatehouse and entered Taoshan Island in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Soon after, he entered the spacious white room.

Li Jun sat in front of the TV and turned to look at him.

Li Jun didn't speak, but the man said, trembling.

"I was sent by Zhang You."

Li Jun remained silent, and the other party continued.

He said, "We want to end the current situation. The concept of immortality originated in the Eastern Kingdom, and now we want to return to it."

“We can tell you the location of the Sun Wheel, their plans, and even the entity behind all of this. We can grant you any request you make.”

Li Jun asked him, "Why?"

The visitor gave only one reason: "Because you are the ancient Heavenly Emperor Di Jun!"

Of course, there might be other reasons, such as Zhang You feeling something was wrong, not wanting to die, etc., but this reason was enough.

Li Jun still didn't give a direct response; he just asked.

"Can he really escape the control of the person behind the scenes?"

The other party didn't know how to answer and was at a loss for words when Li Jun spoke up again.

"We'll do as you say."

"Tell me the location of the Sun Wheel, and the information about the entity behind it all."
