Chapter 60 Two Imperial Scriptures

The terrifying imperial might crashed against everyone like a giant wave. Fortunately, the Azure Emperor's weapon protected them, otherwise everyone would have been crushed by the imperial might!

According to the original plot, in order to withstand such imperial might and successfully ascend the altar, one would need at least a Saint-level holy weapon for protection.

It would be best to have an imperial weapon; otherwise, even a powerful immortal of the second level wouldn't be able to get up here!

"Could this coffin be made from the Enlightenment Tea Tree? Did you guys notice? Getting close to it actually puts you into a state of enlightenment!"

The usually silent Crow Taoist was the first to shift his attention away from the Emperor's corpse, and as a result, he discovered the secret of the coffin.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately approached the coffin and indeed found that they naturally entered a state of enlightenment.

"That's right, I've drunk the Enlightenment Tea before, and this is the feeling. Although it's slightly weaker than the state I experienced when drinking the tea, if I could carry the coffin with me, wouldn't I be able to remain in a state of enlightenment forever? This is a divine object!"

Everyone looked shocked, including Zhang Taichu. Even he needed such a divine object that could enhance cultivation efficiency.

After all, none of the Nine Great Immortal Golds have a similar effect.

The Divine Mark Purple Gold's enhancement of comprehension is a one-time event, or it can only be enhanced again after he has deeply studied the profound mysteries of Immortal Gold.

Even so, it is different from the effect of the Enlightenment Tea Tree; the effects of the two can be combined.

"This coffin was probably made from a section of the Enlightenment Tea Tree a long time ago. I must say, it was quite a grand gesture."

Those present were all big shots; they had not only tasted the Enlightenment Tea, but also knew that the Enlightenment Tea Tree was currently in the Undying Mountain and had not died.

Since the Enlightenment Tea Tree did not die, this must only be a part of the trunk. And only a Great Emperor could enter the Undying Mountain and cut off a section of the trunk.

Everyone became increasingly convinced that it was the corpse of an emperor, but—

"If there's a coffin, why is the emperor's corpse still kept outside?"

The Crow Taoist once again discovered a key point, and Zhang Taichu pointed to the words in the corner of the coffin.

"There are words here; they should provide the answer."

"Borrow the coffin for a moment."

A few words revealed a shocking revelation: it was discovered that there might be two emperors in this place, and the emperor's corpse outside was actually thrown out of the coffin by the later emperor.

"I recognize this handwriting. I've seen it in the ancestral temple of the Great Xia Dynasty in Zhongzhou. It's the Taihuang's!"

The Red Dragon Taoist was knowledgeable and recognized him at a glance.

Then the Queen Mother of the West nodded slightly, recognizing that it was indeed the Empress Dowager's handwriting, and that gave them the answer.

"In other words, this imperial corpse was the true owner of the coffin, but the Empress Dowager came here, usurped the place, and threw the original owner out. This—"

The expressions of the group of bigwigs were all a bit tense. They never expected that the dignified emperor would actually do something like stealing someone else's coffin. No one would believe it if they told others.

But when they thought about how the coffin was made from the trunk of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, which is said to have the power to bring the dead back to life, they understood.

"Wait, upon closer inspection, this isn't an emperor's corpse; it's just a human skin."

This time, it was Old Peng King who discovered the key point. Everyone gathered around to examine it closely and discovered that the Emperor Corpse was very thin. The reflection from the ice layer seemed normal before, but upon closer inspection, they realized something was wrong.

"This shouldn't be happening. Legend says the Emperor's body is eternally immortal, so how could it be so shriveled? Could it not be the Emperor's corpse?"

"No, no, no, this is definitely an Emperor's corpse. Even the corpse of a Great Sage can be preserved for a long time. In my opinion, this was just a human skin from the beginning!"

"Oh dear, that's terrifying. Who on earth could turn the Emperor's corpse into human skin? Or perhaps, the Emperor was already skin when he died?"

Several experts couldn't come to a conclusion, but Zhang Taichu knew that it was due to the Immortal Emperor's method of achieving immortality.

The Immortal Emperor's method of achieving immortality involves absorbing the life-giving substances from other emperors, thereby shedding his old body and growing a new one.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Emperor's true form had not yet gone to the Strange World, but was undergoing a new round of transformation in the small space where the Eighteen Levels of Hell were located.

"If the Taihuang Sutra really exists, it must be inside this coffin. Shall we open the coffin now?"

Although they felt it was inappropriate to disturb a great emperor, they were willing to risk everything for the allure of the Imperial Scripture.

Zhang Taichu felt no guilt whatsoever, because there was no body of the Emperor Taihuang here. The Emperor Taihuang thought he had stolen the coffin of the Immortal Emperor, but was ultimately killed by the Immortal Emperor, leaving him with only one hand.

And that hand wasn't in the coffin, but deeper within this realm within a realm.

However, the environment there is much harsher, and only Great Sages can go there, even if they have Imperial Weapons.

Several old demons joined forces with the Queen Mother of the West, determined to open the coffin in case of an accident, but nothing happened. The traps and misfortunes they had imagined did not materialize.

However, when the coffin was opened, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Nothing? Where is the Emperor's body?"

"That's strange. Didn't he leave a note to reserve this coffin? What happened to it?"

"Look at the bottom of the coffin! There's a spiritual imprint there—it's the Taihuang Sutra! The Taihuang Sutra really exists!"

Although I was surprised by the matter of the Emperor's body, it is now clear that the Emperor's sutra is more interesting.

Taking advantage of the coffin's effect on enlightenment, everyone sat around it and began to comprehend the Taihuang Scripture inside.

Zhang Taichu went even further, taking out two Divine Mark Purple Gold Beads and simultaneously comprehending the scriptures of the Supreme Emperor Scripture and the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

When everyone saw it, they all showed excited expressions, but no one tried to snatch it.

After all, they already knew about the divine material, Divine Mark Purple Gold. After this adventure, they had become allies with Zhang Taichu, and they couldn't bring themselves to steal from their ally.

Moreover, Yaochi is standing behind Zhang Taichu. If he tries to steal something, the consequence would be a full-scale war with Yaochi, which would be a huge loss.

Using the ability to capture Dao traces here is practically pointless.

While others were still struggling to comprehend the Taihuang Scripture, Zhang Taichu had already obtained the complete Taihuang Scripture and a portion of the Undying Scripture from the Undying Emperor.

After all, it's just a human skin; it's impossible for it to capture all of the Emperor's imperial scriptures.

The reason why the Taihuang Scripture was able to capture the complete mark is because that mark was originally left to future generations by the Taihuang.

Before his death, he gained new insights into his own Dao, and thus, based on the original Imperial Scripture, he innovated and created the Taihuang Scripture 2.0.

By the time everyone had finally memorized the Taihuang Scripture, Zhang Taichu had already created two scripture deities. Including the first Western Queen Mother, he now had three emperor-level private tutors.

Although everyone was envious, there was nothing they could do. Not to mention that they didn't have the Divine Mark Purple Gold, even if they did, they didn't have the ability to comprehend the profound meaning of Immortal Gold.

The only one who can rival Zhang Taichu in this regard is Xiaosong, but at this point in time, Xiaosong probably wasn't even born yet.

After comprehending the Taihuang Scripture, everyone divided the coffin. Everyone received a piece, even the younger generation, who each received a palm-sized piece that could be made into amulets.

Wearing it on your body for extended periods can easily induce a state of enlightenment, essentially serving as a regular version of enlightenment tea.

As for the skin of the Undying Emperor, several old demons wanted to take it, but this thing was not something they, at the second level of immortality, could touch. Not to mention them, even the strongest old madman in the Eastern Wilderness could not touch the Emperor's corpse.

To move the Emperor's corpse, one would need at least a quasi-Emperor level expert, so in the end, the Undying Emperor's skin was left behind.

Although they wanted to stay in the Realm Within a Realm for a while longer, everyone knew that the Immortal Abode Small World did not have only one entrance. Once other forces learned of the unusual activity here, they would flock to it.

If they found out that all the good things here had been stolen, it would definitely cause trouble again. So after some discussion, everyone decided to leave immediately and go to find the Demon God Flower that the demon race desired most.
