Chapter 149 The Gu Insect That Cannot Be Assembled by Level - Wanqing Gu (2k)

"Next up are you guys."

Sha Xiao looked at the Ji family's Supreme Elders who were hiding in the void and reached out with his large hand.

The giant, thunderous hand pierced through the chaos and reached out to crush the elders of the Ji family.

The oppressive aura of the imperial weapon and the illusory image of the immortal king amidst the tribulation of lightning blended together, as if a thunder immortal king had truly been resurrected.

The oppressive force, enough to crush a great star, was condensed in Sha Xiao's palm, rendering these Supreme Elders unable to move.

No, I...

"7

An elder from the Wan Chu Holy Land, who was hiding along the way, was crushed into ashes before he even had a chance to beg for mercy.

"kill!"

Despite the oppressive aura, the elders who participated in the siege played all their trump cards without hesitation.

Not for any other reason than to stir up this unstable space and throw myself into the void turbulence.

They knew that, faced with a terrifying being who could crush a demigod with a flick of their finger, the Wandering Void might still have a sliver of a chance to survive.

The World-Destroying Divine Light, the Divine Weapon that Suppresses the Sect, is a source stone of unknown depth obtained from the Primordial Ancient Mine.

They unleashed countless killing techniques and threw out countless items.

But all of this was to no avail. With the blessing of the lightning tribulation, Sha Xiao was now a peak half-saint.

His target had no chance of escaping.

"Why...

'

A long, helpless sigh pierced through the void.

The chaotic void stabilized immediately, and a man of ordinary appearance, with a Void Mirror emitting a hazy glow above his head, used Sha Xiao's powerful hand to transfer several of the Ji family's Supreme Elders away.

"Huff, huff..."

"7

The Ji family elders, who had narrowly escaped death, were all panting heavily, their faces pale.

They looked at the boy who stood in front of them, the Void Mirror above his head blocking Sha Xiao's path, and a feeling of filial piety welled up in their hearts for no apparent reason.

That feeling from the source of their bloodline made them recognize the boy's identity in an instant.

"Is that you, Your Highness?"

The seventh elder of the Ji family, who had once seen a few words about it in the clan's secret manual, asked in disbelief.

In the void, the Princess of Ten Thousand Dragons looked at the unremarkable young man with great interest, then glanced at the distant void: "The son of a future emperor? Interesting. Defeating them might prove to my father who is the greatest emperor of all time."

"This is... the imperial prince of the Ji family?"

The moment Jiang Hengzhou, the Great Sage who held the Hengyu Furnace, saw the boy, he immediately recognized his identity.

He glanced at Jiang Yifei, who stood beside him neither humble nor arrogant, and a sense of relief welled up in his heart.

Although all the imperial sons of the Jiang family had perished, fortunately, Heaven smiled upon them and sent back a returnee who was no less than the imperial sons.

"I am Himeko, the daughter of the Void Emperor."

"I have learned a thing or two about you through the mirror, and I assure you in the name of my Father that I will give you an explanation."

The ordinary-looking man stood in front of Sha Xiao and said apologetically.

"Explain?"

Looking warily at the revived Void Mirror, Sha Xiao's thunderous voice rang out: "Five years have passed since I came to Beidou! Five years! They haven't stopped thinking about harming us for a single moment."

"Our blood cannot be settled with a simple explanation; some grudges must be settled."

"However, for the sake of the Void Emperor, I can give you one chance."

"Let me give you a piece of advice: as the old saying goes in my hometown, the blessings of a virtuous person will last only five generations."

Himeko nodded: "Of course. I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

Himeko grasped the Void Mirror and shook it slightly. In an instant, a rift opened in the space, and countless members of the Hime family were poured out like beans.

The Ji family's elders were horrified to discover that their Holy Lord and the elders who had been captured by Ye Fan and his group were among them.

"Where am I?"

"Heavens! What's with the lightning tribulation in the sky? Is the world about to be destroyed?"

'

"Who is that person? How did the Void Mirror end up in his hands?"

In an instant, the cacophony of voices from millions of people resounded.

Some people, such as the Supreme Elders, understood the moment they saw the Void Mirror that everything was over, and they prostrated themselves on the ground begging for forgiveness.

"All members of the clan within five generations involved in the bullying of the weak are here, totaling 1,723,414 people."

"They bully the weak, harm the human race, wreak havoc in the Eastern Wilderness, and wreak havoc on the world under my father's name. They have forgotten the very foundation upon which my Ji family stands."

"From today onwards, all of them will have their Ji family bloodline and cultivation severed. Those who do evil will pay the price."

As Himeko spoke, the Void Mirror shone brightly, sweeping over these panicked people who showed no trace of the majesty of the extreme Dao families.

"Ah—!"

'

Amidst the wails of millions, the Dao of the Void Emperor was completely extracted from their bodies.

The life force of those elders was rapidly waning until they became no different from ordinary mortals.

In particular, the group that advocated attacking Sha Xiao and his group had their consciousness erased by the Void Mirror.

"The people of the Ji family will be dealt with by my Ji family. As for the injustice you have suffered, I can grant you a glimpse into the Void Emperor Scripture, allow you to choose three items from my Ji family's treasure trove, and add a promise that does not violate worldly morality. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

Himeko waved her hand to block out the screams and looked at Sha Xiao calmly, asking her question.

"As expected of the son of the Void Emperor, he can clearly distinguish right from wrong. What a spirit he has!"

Sha Xiao praised him, then thought about his Yellow Emperor bloodline and the price Ji Zi had offered, and naturally agreed, after all, he had really given too much.

He knew that the Void Princess family might appear decadent now.

In fact, they were also willing to sacrifice their lives for the human race. However, when the bravest people went up to fight and Yu Jing died, all that was left were insects.

Ji Zi even offered the Void Emperor Scripture, a core item coveted by countless supreme beings in forbidden zones, as an apology. This shows that the Ji family truly had nothing left; he had already shown the utmost sincerity.

Ji Zi shook her head and sighed, "Times have changed, and years have passed. The Ji family is no longer the Ji family I remember. I'm sorry you've suffered so much."

"In that case, my grudges with the Ji family will be wiped clean."

Sha Xiao looked at Ji Zi and made a promise, then sighed and said, "I also have great respect for the character of the Void Emperor. Perhaps one day, you and I can join forces against an enemy."

Himeko's eyes flickered, and she looked at Sha Xiao in surprise: "You mean..."

'

"Boom!"

Nine bolts of chaotic lightning struck down, interrupting their conversation.

Under the protection of the Void Mirror, Himeko left the center of the lightning in the blink of an eye, avoiding triggering an even greater lightning tribulation.

Sha Xiao scanned the fluctuating space around her, then turned her gaze back to the ethereal, elusive Gu worm floating in front of her.

Sha Xiao's bold statement about the purge was no joke.

He didn't act immediately because he was preparing for this.

This is the source of his confidence to say that he can cleanse all hatred and scum.

During his three years in Zhongzhou, Sha Xiao didn't do nothing; he was always thinking about how to make the most of all the resources at his disposal to improve his combat strength as much as possible.

Ideally, the Great Sage should be able to achieve the same effect as Ye Fan in the original work.

When the path to immortality truly opens, he will lead three hundred beings at the Great Accomplishment Saint Body level to suppress the world. He refuses to believe that any supreme being will dare to cause trouble.

The Gu worm in front of him was the result of his deductions over the past three years.

It combines the most distinctive feature of the Shrouding the Heavens world, the Heavenly Heart Mark, with the super-sized Cover Insects and Ten Thousand Green Gu created by those who killed the Great Emperor to retrieve their Dao Fruits.

A Gu worm that can sometimes even surpass the Nine-Turn Gu, yet can also be called a Six-Turn Gu, breaking the traditional Gu Dao judgment standards.

What's wrong?

If you supreme beings attain the Dao Fruit, why can't I, the Heavenly Stealing Demon Lord, steal it?

It's time to show you the methods of the most ethical Venerable One in our Gu Dao.

Sha Xiao used the blood essence of his super flawless holy body, which he had created from the Great Accomplished Holy Body, and the blood of the Azure Emperor's Heart as a base.

The Azure Emperor's Dao Fruit and the nine Emperor characters contained within the Azure Emperor's Weapon were used to suppress everything, adding boundless Daoist charm.

By connecting with the Heavenly Tribulation through the Immortal King's Thunder Shadow within his body, he could use the Heavenly Tribulation to directly reach the root of the Great Dao and search for the Great Dao imprint hidden in this world.

Although in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, these brutes would claim anything they saw as belonging to a Celestial King, a True Immortal, or a True Dragon.

However, these people were not wrong about the Immortal King Thunder Shadow in this tribulation.

Although they were weak in strength, the illusory Immortal Kings in the tribulation lightning were all genuine.

It should be understood that lightning tribulation is one of the most important components of a world.

In the era when the wilderness still existed, there was a being who proved his Dao through lightning, who controlled the tribulation of lightning and swept across the world.

If he doesn't die halfway through, he's destined to become a Celestial King!

Even a quasi-immortal emperor cannot help but look up at him.

Even Huang, who has now attained the Dao of Immortal Emperor, has not been able to fully control the tribulations of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In Sha Xiao's view, the most precious treasure in this world is not some kind of immortal gold or secret treasure.

The most precious thing is the Dao imprint of countless geniuses hidden in this world that has been reforged by the Desolate Emperor.

Among them are the Nine Heavenly Venerables, all the ancient emperors, and all the great emperors.

There are even true Immortal Kings, and even the young Immortal Emperors.

This is the greatest treasure left by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—the path a Celestial Emperor took to arrive.

He hoped that future generations would learn from the methods he left behind, the path he walked, and combine them with the great Dao of those Immortal Kings to forge a new path, create new Immortal Emperors, and go to assist him.

Unfortunately, the entire world was led astray by the Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Venerable Duan De, and almost completely followed the path left by Huang, with few daring to break free.

Therefore, Sha Xiao's actions of actively provoking the Heavenly Tribulation and using it to steal the Dao Fruit of the Ancient Emperor are simply challenging the taboos of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

However, he was right; through the Immortal King Lei Ying, he could indeed directly reach the source of the Great Dao.

Therefore, they tried to find the Dao fruits of ancient emperors from the scattered Heavenly Heart Imprints and condense them into Gu worms.

The path that is too weak, like the path of mortals, is the most difficult to find.

The Path of the Immortal King, hidden at the very top, is also difficult to find.

Only the emperors who are stuck in the middle are conspicuous and the easiest to find.

Especially now that Sha Xiao has both the Azure Emperor's army and the Azure Emperor's heart.

The Azure Emperor was the last great emperor ten thousand years ago, so finding him couldn't be easier.

Although from the perspective of the Gu world, the Dao traces on the Gu worm in front of Sha Xiao were only at the peak of the sixth level.

However, there are also differences between the six stages.

Those intricate Dao traces originated from the Azure Lotus Emperor's Weapon and the Azure Lotus Emperor's Heart, and were replicas of some of the Azure Emperor's Dao fruits.

This part of the Dao Fruit contains Wan Qing's achievements in this life, and also contains the original Dao traces that he himself was unaware of.

In the deepest part of the universe of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, among countless imprints floating in the world's boundary, the imprint of a blue lotus slowly emits light.

The faint blue lotus mark swayed gently in the chaos, stirring up ripples.

It only revealed a sliver of light, yet it directly suppressed the scattered Heavenly Hearts, causing them to coalesce into a myriad of azure marks to resist this similar but imposing Azure Lotus mark.

Even if an ancient emperor were to arrive here, he would not be able to understand what was happening here.

All that can be known is that the Heavenly Heart Mark belonging to the Azure Emperor has materialized out of thin air.

This is the manifestation of the Azure Emperor's Dao fruition in this life. Any near-Nine Realms cultivator who holds this can immediately avoid the tribulation of attaining Dao and step into the Great Emperor realm.

The price is that one's life and cultivation are completely in the hands of the Great Emperor, and there is a possibility that the Great Emperor will possess one's body.

But what's the problem?

Throughout history, there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of great emperors. Just find one of them who died and seize his Dao fruit.

Once you reach the Great Emperor realm, there will be other paths to take.

Of all those present, only Sha Xiao, who was involved in the Gu cultivation, had any guesses about this matter; the rest were unaware of it.

All they saw was that, under the endless tribulations of lightning, the Gu worms in front of Sha Xiao became more and more perfect, and their aura became more and more powerful.

The illusory Gu worm gradually coalesced into the shape of a heart.

Nine bolts of chaotic lightning struck down, and Sha Xiao quickly threw the Azure Emperor's Heart into the Gu worm.

The thunder shattered the Azure Emperor's heart, and the boundless blood energy collided with the soaring lightning, directly obliterating the chaos there and breaking through the world's barriers.

But the next second, the Immortal King Thunder Shadow on Sha Xiao stepped out, holding the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon, and froze the earth, water, wind and fire.

Sha Xiao's face was deathly pale from blood loss, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

He seized the opportunity, gathered the frozen drops of blood and lightning together, and placed them on the Dao-transforming fire burning in the center of the Azure Emperor's weapon.

With a "whoosh," a wave rippled outwards.

A bolt of pure, ordinary lightning struck the shattered object.

In an instant, everyone seemed to go blind, unable to see what was happening in that area.

Everything was shrouded in the light of the Dao.

All the people could feel was a sense that the Great Dao was being suppressed and bound.

"The Mark of Heaven!!!"

Himeko and Princess Wanlong blurted out excitedly in unison.

As the emperor's own sons, they had seen their father display such a thing.

That is the most precious treasure in the world, the manifestation of their Dao fruition, and the source of their power.

Right now, something that only a great emperor could wield throughout history has actually appeared here.

What's going on?

Could it be that someone is about to become emperor?

But how could this be? Not a single person present had the cultivation level of a near-ninth level cultivator.

As the light faded, everyone was finally able to see the spot clearly.

"It's not the mark of Heaven's Heart..."

Princess Wanlong was disappointed, but she also relaxed a little.

Thankfully, it wasn't a mark of heaven.

Otherwise, everyone would face a terrifying situation—they had finally waited for the golden age, and just one day after their birth, someone would have already attained the Dao and become an emperor.

At the very center of the Azure Lotus Imperial Weapon held in the hand of Immortal King Lei Ying, a heart was pounding continuously.

Nine chaotic thunderbolts coiled around it, acting as blood vessels, and nine gleaming Emperor characters were engraved on its surface.

With each heartbeat, a phantom image of the Thunder Immortal King would appear.

Upon closer inspection, the illusory figure was almost identical to the portrait left behind by the Azure Emperor.

This is Sha Xiao's confidence: three years of accumulation, and a powerful force forged through unconventional means—the Myriad Green Gu.

With the creation of the Dharma calamity looming ahead, what does it matter if one has a body riddled with defects?

Rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

Sha Xiao knew that her goal in the short term was to gather enough strength.

It doesn't matter if you can't break through in a short time, as long as you have enough strength.

I possess the Lesser Heavenly Heart Mark, and in my ultimate state, I can unleash a strike equivalent to an Emperor's. You're telling me I'm not strong enough? Are you joking?

As long as he can borrow enough power to overcome these calamities, he will find a way to move forward.

The moment the Gu was formed, the tribulation lightning in the thunderclouds above stopped.

"What a pity, I dragged this Gu worm down with me. If I were truly a Great Sage, that tribulation lightning would probably have been enough to push it back to the eighth level of normal cultivation."

Sha Xiao looked up at the lightning bolt that had stopped in the sky, as if realizing what she was doing and refusing to give herself another chance, and sighed.

In truth, his preparation was too poor; otherwise, the heavenly tribulation would never have stopped, and he would surely have been able to see the celestial palace.

It will be able to more directly use the tribulation lightning to enter the source of the Great Dao and confront the Heavenly Heart Mark, instead of just relying on fluctuations to replicate the Heavenly Heart Mark as it is now.

If he could have been given the time it takes for ninety-nine more tribulation lightning strikes, he might have been able to push Wan Qingxian's normal state back to the seventh stage. At that time, what Wan Qinggu left behind would not just be a heart, but a pseudo-emperor corpse shaped by the blood of the Azure Emperor, the immortal blood of the Holy Body, and the mark of the Azure Emperor's Heavenly Heart.

If Sha Xiao can persuade the Azure Emperor's soldiers to join in, he can create it right now.

However, Sha Xiao did the math and decided it wasn't worth it. There would be many more opportunities to refine the Myriad Green Gu, but the Azure Emperor Weapon would be hard to get back once it was lost.

This is the former body of the Azure Emperor, and it is of extraordinary significance.

The Myriad Green Gu is now very powerful. Once activated, it can grant a person the Dao Fruit of the Azure Emperor within three minutes.

Combined with the Azure Emperor's weapon, aside from lacking a physical body and primordial spirit, it means the Azure Emperor has been resurrected.

Everything the Azure Emperor has ever done can be replicated, provided he has enough energy.

Sha Xiao stepped forward, merging himself into the Immortal King's Thunder Shadow, grasped the Gu worm, and merged it into the Thunder Phantom.

This Celestial King Thunder Shadow has absorbed so much lightning energy that it is enough to support Sha Xiao in wielding the Thunder Shadow to recreate a corner of the Azure Emperor's divine might.

When the Wanqing Gu merged with the lightning on Sha Xiao's body, with a "buzz," everyone felt as if the universe had undergone some kind of change.

In the divine city of the Northern Wilderness, an old man with a frail body, who had been keeping a divine thought in mind to prevent a real battle between imperial weapons, suddenly stood up straight.

A desolate and melodious Taoist tune emanated from the old man, drawing everyone around him into a state of enlightenment.

A surge of power, even weaker than Sha Xiao's current aura, flashed by.

In an instant, Sha Xiao's aura surged involuntarily, directly overpowering the aura leaked by the sick old man in his loss of composure.

"boom-

"6

The two forces collided across billions of miles. If Himeko hadn't used the Void Mirror to stabilize the void in time, the Big Dipper would have been shattered.

Even so, the collision of these two auras still spread throughout the entire universe, causing the heavens and the earth to tremble.

"Whose scent is this?"

The Great Sages on the ancient human path, the Quasi-Emperors roaming the universe, and the secrets of all races opened their eyes in astonishment and uncertainty.

On the Flying Immortal Star, deep within the Kunlun remnant clan, a divine thought exuding an aura of decay looked at the Big Dipper with suspicion and uncertainty.

On the ancient star of the Heavenly Soldiers, a divine egg on a divine altar trembled.

"Ancestor, what has happened?"

The flustered and confused Great Sage Fire Crow looked at the divine egg with concern.

Deep in the void of the universe, a majestic man with an imposing aura and hair that seemed to flow with galaxies raised his eyelids, shook his head disdainfully, and then fell into a deep state of enlightenment.

In the Amitabha Starfield, a Buddha who was preaching stopped his sermon and looked at the Big Dipper with a mixture of doubt and curiosity: "Is it reincarnation? A divine thought? Or is it truly rebirth?"

On an unknown planet, a young man riding a white horse and wielding a silver spear opened his hazy eyes and blinked in confusion: "Is it an illusion...?"

""

Amidst the ruins of a celestial palace, an old man with yellowed teeth stopped watering the trees and exclaimed in surprise, "The Azure Emperor, is he still alive?"

""

The edge of the universe is a desolate place where chaotic energy surges endlessly. No living beings can stay there permanently. It is a deathly place, and even the Great Emperor would not want to stay in such a place for long.

But at this moment, in this chaos where no one has visited for hundreds of millions of years, a bird's nest shape vaguely appears.

"Is Wan Qing still alive?"

"Impossible, the Daoist transformation couldn't have been faked back then."

"Didn't everyone confirm it later? He's dead, or at least he committed suicide."

The two divine thoughts conversed, discussing over a thousand times in a single breath.

"No need to worry about it. Whether Wan Qing is alive or resurrected is fine. We just need to wait for the right opportunity."

An undeniable voice rang out from the chaos.

"Yes."

Chaotic energy surged and engulfed the phoenix nest. In a short while, nothing remained there.

The ailing old man, who had lost his composure, immediately withdrew his leaked energy. Filled with shock and disbelief, his eyes blazed with fierce fire and fighting spirit as he murmured, "Azure Emperor... even if you are dead, do you think you can suppress me with just a trace of your Dao? I don't believe it!"

"Ahem, Master, what just happened?"

Xia Jiuyou was the first to regain consciousness, coughing as she asked.

"Nine Netherworlds, wait for me here."

The sick old man let out a long breath and said to Xia Jiuyou, who had just woken up and was looking at him with a pale and worried face.

As he spoke, he dropped his cane, rubbed his lower back, and coughed laboriously twice.

In the blink of an eye, the old man's wrinkled face became round, and his bent back cracked as he straightened up once again, like an evergreen pine tree that had stood for thousands of years.

His eyes seemed to hold a galaxy, their starlight swirling, and paired with his towering, sword-like eyebrows, they filled his otherwise serene face with arrogance.

The sick old man transformed himself back to his prime.

She looked stunningly beautiful and had an extraordinary air about her, a stark contrast to her previous sickly, seemingly terminally ill appearance.

He is no longer the sick old man who has been tormented by Daoist injuries for nine thousand years and has even fallen to the level of a mere Great Sage.

He is—Gai Jiuyou!

Gai Jiuyou, the Quasi-Emperor of Zhongzhou, was a peerless genius who entered the ninth level of the quasi-eighth realm after the death of the Azure Emperor, and forced the Human Emperor Xiang Feiyu to give up the struggle for supremacy early on. He only regretted that he was born two thousand years too late and could not fight against the Azure Emperor in his lifetime.

Wan Qing, is this really you?

Whether it's you or not, this power is the same as yours.

I'm going to try and see just how much difference there really is between you and me.

Is the Great Emperor truly so invincible?

Gai Jiuyou's heart was in turmoil, and his divine thoughts were flying about.

He tore through the void, adjusting his state as he slowly made his way towards the turbulent Southern Region.
