Shrouding the Heavens: The Ruthless Heavenly Emperor

Sword Immortal is the title given to Xu Jingxian by the world.

Apart from Wushi, only four other beings in all the heavens and myriad realms know the name Xu Jingxian.

Xu Changqing, Empress, without beginning, Great Accomplished Holy Body.

Even the Chaotic Ancient Emperor didn't know about these four people.

Now, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor no longer appears, and has been holed up in his own dojo, researching the method to transform into a third incarnation.

He would occasionally consult Xu Changqing and the Empress, and even sought advice from Wu Shi.

During this time, Wushi also learned that the Immortal Emperor had not died, nor had the Ruthless Emperor and the Empress.

This was the first time he realized that the waters of the heavens were deeper than he had imagined.

"Since the Undying Emperor and the others didn't die, then did the Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court also die?" Wu Shi wondered.

After all, the emperors who held the title of "Emperor Venerable" were definitely no weaker than him.

"I've heard that Jingxian's parents once ventured onto the path to immortality and even killed immortals."

"That place is on Flying Immortal Star!"

Upon thinking of this, Wu Shi couldn't help but head to Flying Immortal Star.

Having found the key to the path to immortality, he was extremely proficient in formations. Over the years, he created formations that could deceive even the heavenly tribulations.

It's called the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern.

After arriving at Flying Immortal Star, he punched open the Immortal Path and walked in.

After a long while, he walked out somewhat disheveled and quickly sealed the array patterns.

"The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, Zhulong, and all the beings from the chaotic ancient era have been suppressed on the path to immortality." Wushi was shocked.

"The Emperor is not dead!" He was even more certain in his heart, because after he met the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation confessed everything.

He just broke through the formation left by the Emperor, and he probably already noticed.

However, the Emperor did not appear, which means that he either misjudged the situation or was too busy to pay attention to him.

If someone has lived for so long without encountering any problems, they must have already become an immortal and are now plotting for even greater gains.

If it weren't for the rumors circulating in the world, Wushi would never have come to Feixian Star, much less opened the Immortal Path.

In the years that followed, Wushi forged a secret treasure called the Investiture of the Gods. He sat cross-legged on the Undying Mountain, observing the marks left by the two Heavenly Emperors, and began to discuss the Dao with them across time and space.

The Immortal Daoist came to disturb Wushi, but was instead suppressed by Wushi with one hand. Wushi used the Investiture of the Gods to suppress the Immortal Daoist, and even the corpse of the Great Accomplished Holy Body was suppressed.

The ominous aura of the Great Accomplished Holy Body was suppressed within the coffin.

Originally, Wu Shi wanted to break the curse on the Holy Body, but after he used the origin of the Great Dao of Time to deduce something, a strange look appeared on his usually calm face.

He saw some visions of the future.

The scene depicts the opening of a path to immortality, the emergence of the most powerful dark upheaval in history, and a newcomer who, despite only reaching the Great Sage realm, has fused two Great Accomplished Sacred Bodies to conquer the starry sky.

After understanding everything, Emperor Wushi, at the height of his power, left behind a few drops of his essence blood, some backup plans, and recorded some sounds.

Afterwards, he looked at his parents at the bottom of Yaochi and sighed. He was looking for a way to resurrect his parents, but he couldn't find a clue.

"Eight thousand years have passed, where exactly did Jingxian go?"

"Could it be that they went home?"

Wu Shi muttered to himself, "Two great emperors in one era. Since ancient times, great emperors have never met. But starting from two hundred thousand years ago, this concept has been broken."

"I'm itching to have a match with her."

P.S.: I was typing this in an internet cafe, so I don't know how many typos there are.

It's so dazzling, I can't find it.

Chapter 177 One Family, Three Emperors

For Wu Shi, if it weren't for Xu Jingxian, he wouldn't have entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, because he knew what was inside.

Not only does the Great Accomplished Holy Body transform into a forbidden zone to protect the peace of the world, but the Empress is also inside.

Therefore, since he became emperor, he has never been to the desolate and forbidden zone.

Now, under the watchful eyes of the world, Wu Shi, with his back to everyone, his thick black hair fluttering gently, walks towards the direction of the desolate ancient forbidden land.

It's said that emperors never meet, but that's just talk. If you actually met a great emperor, you'd never be lonely again.

"Is the Great Emperor Wushi going to pacify the forbidden zone?" Many powerful figures wondered.

As the laws transformed into a golden road, it stretched from the Central Continent through the Eastern Wilderness and descended outside the Ancient Forbidden Land.

Some people wanted to follow and see what was going on, but they couldn't move at all. They could only look up and see a white figure disappear in an instant with a single step.

After Wushi arrived outside the desolate ancient forbidden land, he looked at the lush forests and towering peaks beside him, and it didn't look like a forbidden area at all.

Nine sacred mountains stand tall, and the divine spring steams up ethereal mist, while a rich and sweet fragrance invades Wushi's nostrils.

Emperor Cheng has lived for eight thousand years, and he is now at his peak. He has also searched for the elixir of immortality, but apart from the Enlightenment Tree, the elixir of immortality in the heavens has almost disappeared.

Unexpectedly, in this desolate and forbidden land, there was actually the Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality of the Divine Silkworm Clan, but unfortunately, it had been divided into nine portions.

In front of the nine sacred mountains, a huge abyss continuously spews out terrifying black gas, the surrounding roads are chaotic, and time is unstable.

Wu Shi sensed it briefly and found that not only were the laws of the Great Dao different from the outside world, but there were also immortal substances inside, and even the laws of time were protecting it.

Soon, Wu Shi saw a young man appear above the abyss. The young man had a gentle smile on his face and a strong physique.

It has no imposing presence, yet it can give people the feeling that a single punch could destroy countless worlds.

"The Great Accomplished Sacred Body?"

"wrong!"

"He possesses a sacred body, yet he has achieved the status of an emperor through physical means. His Daoist techniques and primordial spirit have both reached their pinnacle. If he wishes to become an emperor, he can succeed!"

Wu Shi was slightly surprised when he saw the suddenly appearing Great Accomplished Holy Body. He hadn't expected that such a powerful Holy Body existed in this world.

This is no weaker than an ordinary emperor. His physical body has become an emperor, and his primordial spirit and Dao techniques are only one step away from ultimate sublimation.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body descended upon Wushi and said gently, "Wushi, you've come to see Jingxian, haven't you?"

The Great Emperor Wushi possessed both an innate Dao embryo and a sacred human body, each of which was among the best in the heavens, let alone the combination of the two.

Therefore, Emperor Wushi can be considered the first emperor in the world to become an emperor with a sacred body.

After hearing what the Great Accomplished Holy Body said, Wu Shi nodded, his wise gaze meeting hers, and calmly said, "She has been invincible for eight thousand years, and I really want to spar with her."

"Are you sure?" The Great Accomplished Holy Body looked at Wushi with a strange expression.

If Wushi and Xu Jingxian had fought right after Wushi became emperor, it would have been a 50/50 match.

However, eight thousand years have passed since they became emperors. Wu Shi is making progress, and Xu Jingxian is naturally making progress as well.

Beginningless

Through her own exploration, Xu Jingxian acquired all of her parents' cultivation experience.

There's no comparison.

"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?" Wu Shi frowned slightly. Could it be that even sparring was not allowed?

The Great Accomplished Holy Body shook his head and said, "Let's put the sparring aside for now. Would you like to enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land for a look?"

Wu Shi nodded calmly. Naturally, he wanted to take a look at the forbidden ancient land. Although he sensed three hidden auras inside, he was not afraid.

Who is he?

He is none other than the Great Emperor Wushi!

The world has dubbed it: At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A single glance at the beginningless Dao reveals emptiness.

He once went to the forbidden zone alone to suppress the supreme being, and stood alone in the heavens to protect the peace of the world. He once suppressed the faith body of the immortal emperor with one hand, and even charged into the underworld himself.

He also fought against three powerful figures on the Immortal Path of Flying Immortal Star and won a complete victory.

Now, having been invincible for so long, he has long been lonely.

Therefore, Wushi came to Xu Jingxian to have a friendly spar.

Inside the desolate forbidden land, Wu Shi surveyed his surroundings. Unlike what he had imagined, the place was deathly silent and pitch black, with the surrounding walls covered in branding and engravings.

At its deepest point, there is a dazzling celestial rift. Within that rift, one can vaguely see the scene inside the celestial path, where various celestial laws have transformed into celestial spirits to guard the celestial path.

However, on the path to immortality, there was a tranquil courtyard from which emanated the aura of three emperors.

"So powerful!" Wu Shi's face was solemn. The two unfamiliar auras made him feel pressured even from a distance.

“Actually, neither of those two Heavenly Emperors died. Jingxian is their child born in their fourth life. She combines all the advantages of both Heavenly Emperors.” The words of the Great Accomplished Holy Body made Wushi’s face darken.

What the hell? Xu Jingxian is the child of two emperors who have reigned for four generations?!

This truly shocked Wushi.

Not only did the family produce three emperors, but each emperor in this family was ridiculously powerful.

Moreover, he is the child of the Fourth Heavenly Emperor; what a background!

After arriving at the dazzling immortal path, Wu Shi looked at the house and slowed down, feeling somewhat like he was going to meet his future in-laws. He felt quite strange.

However, he still stepped firmly into the courtyard.

Having once transcended tribulation to become a Great Emperor, the Dao injuries within his body had not fully healed, making him like a large bucket filled with water, but the bucket was broken, constantly leaking out his life force.

In his first life, he was supposed to live for over 30,000 years, but now he only has a lifespan of 20,000 years.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a piece of Chaos Divine Soil with various rare and precious medicinal herbs planted on it.

Several kinds of immortal herbs are planted there.

In the center of the courtyard, Xu Jingxian, dressed in white, had her soft white hair flowing over her shoulders like a clear stream.

This time, Wu Shi saw Xu Jingxian's true appearance.

She possessed an absolutely stunning face, with a fair, oval face, a pair of clear, deep autumn eyes, a delicate pink nose, and bright red lips. She was incredibly beautiful and peerless.

He sat cross-legged on a golden futon, surrounded by endless runes and profound mysteries, like a raging hurricane. From time to time, immortal laws rose from the immortal path and were drawn into this small courtyard.

When Wushi saw that unrealistically beautiful face, he was momentarily dazed.
