A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

"There's something wrong with the location of my reincarnation. It's too slow, much slower than I expected!" Yunhua thought to herself as she flew through the sky.

Phoenixes are best born in flames or lava, but this particular clone of mine was born in a mountain.

Therefore, it can only take an endless amount of time to slowly nurture it by drawing upon the scarce firepower of heaven and earth.

This process took tens of thousands of years.

"Ten thousand years of gestation have caused me to waste ten thousand years of my time!" Yunhua thought to himself, somewhat speechless.

Although he has long since regained consciousness and could continue to comprehend the Dao after ten thousand years, such enlightenment would be somewhat counterproductive for his current state.

Because the Dao of this world is definitely different from that of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, and the cultivation system is also completely different, which can be felt from the foundation of the body.

During her pregnancy, Yunhua sensed that the physical foundation of this world was somewhat different from others.

This body is not like the body in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, which is a kind of "universal" structure; the body in this world is more like a "custom" thing, because everyone's path is different, so the body is also different.

"My current phoenix body was born from the true blood of the immortal phoenix and the core Dao of the immortal phoenix treasure technique."

"Although I don't know what level this is in this world, it shouldn't be too bad!" Yunhua thought to himself.

After ten thousand years of gestation, he had already thoroughly studied his brand-new body.

“But then the problem arose…” Yunhua pondered for a moment, then frowned.

It took ten thousand years to develop, and because the location was too unfavorable, his body did not develop to its limit, at least not to the limit that was compatible with the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Technique.

Therefore, he had to create his own path of cultivation on his own, step by step, a cultivation method that was worthy of matching his own Immortal Phoenix Treasure Technique.

"But it's fine too. With my current level of cultivation, even if I change to a different cultivation system, it's just a different manifestation of the Great Dao!" Yunhua thought to himself.

Although it is a newly born phoenix, its memories and understanding of the Great Dao are still Yun Hua's own, and even infinitely close to the understanding of a quasi-immortal emperor.

Looking down on other cultivation systems from such a height, once he has gone through some initial growth, he can completely create a brand new method, and one that is perfectly suited to him.

Of course, creating something new also requires a foundation. For example, one needs to obtain some cultivation techniques and personally experience the cultivation system of this world. After reaching a certain level, one can create a unique cultivation technique of one's own. Moreover, the difficulty of creating such a technique is many times greater than that of a peerless genius of the same level.

"The first problem is—start-up capital. Where will I get my initial cultivation technique?" Yun Hua's eyes narrowed, and he immediately spotted a middle-aged man dressed in white animal skin not far away.

"Huh!?" As Yun Hua's gaze fell upon him, the middle-aged man dressed in white animal skin was startled. He realized that he had been targeted by this newly born innate demon god.

But to his relief, he didn't sense any malice.

"This auspicious phoenix has just been born; it shouldn't do anything to me," the man thought to himself.

"Whoosh!" Accompanied by a fierce wind and crimson clouds, Yunhua, carrying auspiciousness and rosy light, along with a warm breath, descended upon the middle-aged man dressed in white animal skin.

The middle-aged man also carefully examined the phoenix in front of him.

It didn't look very big, with a wingspan of only 12 feet. Even a random eagle in the mountains might be more robust than it. It looked like a very young and inexperienced beast.

Its crimson plumage was tinged with a reddish glow, especially its long tail feathers, which were more beautiful than any bird he had ever seen.

At first glance, it exudes auspiciousness and noble charm.

He never imagined that a bird could give him this feeling.

"You..." The middle-aged man was surprised and wanted to speak, but he quickly shut his mouth.

Amidst the blazing flames, the phoenix suddenly withdrew its radiant light and transformed into the figure of a young boy. His long, jet-black hair danced in the fierce winds, and despite his young age, the definition of his muscles was already evident.

In particular, he wore no other clothing except for a crimson feather robe, which was clearly a divine creation.

"A god-demon at the innate realm, yet his control over divine power is so terrifying? And his divine power is so abundant that it can form something like this?" The middle-aged man was shocked. The moment he looked at the feathered robe on Yun Hua's body, he was completely stunned.

Although it was merely a conjured garment without any physical form, capable only of blocking out light, what it revealed was far from simple. It was absolute control over one's own divine power, and an absolute control so precise it was almost supernatural.

"Are all innate gods and demons this terrifying? They've only just been born, yet they possess such terrifying and precise control abilities." The middle-aged man was secretly shocked.

At the same time, he was secretly comparing himself to the other party. He felt that his level of cultivation might be higher, but in a fight, he might not be a match for this phoenix.

"Are you a member of the Ji family?" Yunhua asked the middle-aged man directly.

His original intention was to find people nearby and integrate into the cultivation environment of this world, so there weren't many hidden agendas.

"Huh!? You know about the Ji family?" The middle-aged man was surprised. This newly born god-demon actually knew about the Ji family?

Logically speaking, newly born innate gods and demons should not know so much.

Yunhua said leisurely, "Although I have just been born, you don't think that I have no intelligence at all after all these years, do you? I have been awake for a long time, but I was only born today."

Yunhua's body had been nurtured in this mountain for tens of thousands of years, but his intelligence had already awakened a thousand years ago.

Over the past thousand years, it's not that no one has tried to explore the mysteries of this mountain. After all, a mountain that is frozen year-round is unusual, and there might be some treasures hidden there.

Yunhua also learned the language of this world from the conversations of those "treasure hunters" and also learned about the general situation in the vicinity.

Of course, since most of those "treasure hunters" were from nearby tribes, their strength wasn't much, and Yunhua didn't know much about them.

Chapter 935 Ji Yichuan

Perhaps some powerful people had already investigated, but at that time Yunhua's intelligence had not yet awakened. He only relied on the natural and mysterious environment of heaven and earth that nurtured innate gods and demons to block those people with considerable strength.

The environment in which heaven and earth nurtured innate gods and demons naturally possessed some mysterious aspects.

In fact, whether it is this world, the world of Shrouding the Heavens, or other worlds, those beings that take "Heaven and Earth as their mother" are protected by Heaven and Earth themselves. Unless they encounter an existence with excessive strength, they are unlikely to die young.

Even in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, most of the Holy Spirits reside in dangerous places or where spiritual veins converge; and those places often share a common characteristic: danger. Without sufficient strength, one simply cannot approach these things.

"So he had already woken up!"

The middle-aged man suddenly realized, then he clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I am Ji Yichuan from the Western Branch of the Ji Clan."

"Um... My name is Yunhua!" Yunhua naturally introduced himself.

When he gave his name, Yunhua glanced at Ji Yichuan a few more times, feeling somewhat surprised. The name "Ji Yichuan" seemed familiar!

The name, combined with the Ji family's western residence and what he had discovered during his awakening, gave Yunhua a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

Ji Yichuan smiled and said, "Brother Yun has just been born. I wonder if you have any plans?"

"Yunhua, is this the name he gave himself? I don't remember anyone with the surname Yun around here." Ji Yichuan was also very curious about this name.

The names of innate gods and demons are often strange because they are like newborn children when they are born. They choose their names randomly, or they may even be derived from the sounds of insects and birds nearby.

However, the name "Yunhua" is too obviously man-made; he must have been familiar with human culture to have chosen such a name.

"I don't have any plans. I just want to find a place to meditate quietly for a while and broaden my horizons. I'm very curious about the cultivation world!" Yunhua said.

Yunhua had already sensed from the man's demeanor and mindset that he might be trying to recruit her, so she simply went along with his idea.

Sure enough, upon hearing Yun Hua's words, Ji Yichuan said happily, "Since Brother Yun wants to know about the cultivation world, why not come and sit at our Ji family's residence? In this Yanshan area, our Ji family's intelligence and information are the most readily available. Surely we can find the information that Brother Yun needs."

These innate gods and demons, born with auspicious omens, are clearly the kind everyone desires most. With Ji Yichuan's keen eyesight, he has noticed the changes in the mountain that nurtured Yunhua since he witnessed her birth.

The mountain peak clearly exuded an auspicious aura that settled beneath the earth, suggesting that it might even give birth to treasures in the future.

Moreover, even without this auspicious aura, Ji Yichuan would be willing to talk to him and bring him to stay at his home simply because of his phoenix form.

Who would want such an auspicious phoenix to stay in their home?

"Then thank you very much, Brother Ji!" Yunhua naturally agreed, following Ji Yichuan's lead.

"Haha, Brother Yun, please!" Ji Yichuan laughed and immediately led the way.

Yunhua followed Ji Yichuan.

Yunhua followed Ji Yichuan, and the two talked the whole way.

With Yunhua around, Ji Yichuan naturally shifted the topic to his son, because in his opinion, Yunhua looked about the same age as his son.

Upon learning that Ji Yichuan's son's name was "Ji Ning," Yunhua felt a renewed sense of certainty about the world.

The world of the Desolate Era!!

Countless ages ago, the entire world was a vast and terrifying place that seemed to stretch to the horizon; and the sheer size of this world was simply unimaginable.

In the era of that continent, countless years ago, a world will was born. It manifested and became the emperor of the entire world, enslaving and controlling all living beings in the world.

However, the pursuit of freedom is part of the nature of all intelligent life, especially for those powerful beings with world-destroying abilities, who are even more unwilling to accept such a fate of enslavement.

Then, all the powerful joined forces to resist, and finally, after an earth-shattering battle, the colossal continent shattered. Countless fragments merged together to form eight enormous chaotic universes and countless tiny universes.

This is the origin of this world.

And now, Yunhua is in the weakest of the eight chaotic universes.

But even the weakest universe possesses the supreme Dao.

Because within the origin of this chaotic universe, there exist endless ultimate paths: the ultimate path of time and space, the ultimate path of yin and yang, the ultimate path of fire, the ultimate path of water, the ultimate path of life...

Not only do these naturally occurring Daos exist, but even things created by cultivators themselves have corresponding ultimate Daos. Ultimate Sword Dao, Ultimate Saber Dao, Ultimate Fist Dao, Ultimate Array Dao…

It can be said that this chaotic universe encompasses everything, and everything that exists in the world has its corresponding ultimate path...

"The ultimate path of eternity! It seems that the path I must take in this world is the ultimate path of fire!" Yunhua thought to himself.

"Moreover, once you comprehend one eternal ultimate path, you can refine the universe, and after refining the universe, you will naturally master all ultimate paths!!"

"If I refine this universe and then return to my original form, my original form might even approach the Immortal Emperor realm!!" Yun Hua grew more and more excited as he thought about it. These countless ultimate paths were simply a divinely bestowed foundation!

Once you cultivate to the highest level in this world, it's like ascending to heaven in one step.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, my goal now is the eternal ultimate fire path!" Yun Hua quickly composed himself and continued to follow Ji Yichuan.

The two were moving at an incredible speed, and could clearly see the trees beside them rushing past. Their speed was even faster than that of birds flying in the sky.

Before long, Ji Yichuan brought Yunhua to the vicinity of a large city.

This was a magnificent city, with walls dozens of meters high that could be seen from afar. Judging from its size, at least hundreds of thousands of people lived within its walls.

"This is the Western City of my Ji family!" Ji Yichuan introduced.

As you enter the city, you see a constant stream of people. Ji Yichuan explained that this street is the most bustling avenue in Xifu City, and you will enter this main road as soon as you enter the city.

The street was originally more than ten zhang wide, but the shops on both sides occupied most of the space, which made the street only seven or eight zhang wide for people to walk on.

Ji Yichuan was also explaining many places to Yunhua, such as the two huge buildings that could be seen at a glance—the military camp and the martial hall.

The military camp is where the troops under the jurisdiction of the Ji Clan's Western Prefecture are stationed; the Martial Hall is where the young people of the various tribes under the jurisdiction of the Ji Clan's Western Prefecture and the disciples of the Ji Clan cultivate.

"Come and take a look! This is divine iron that was recently unearthed; it can be used to forge unparalleled divine weapons."

Chapter 936 Cultivation System

"The finest noodles are made from water from Lake Leize, making them highly nutritious and beneficial to health!"

"Phoenix Grass, a legendary medicine found near the phoenix's habitat, stained with the phoenix's blood, that can cure all diseases!"

"Come and see! Top-quality slaves! The women are fertile, each costing ten sheepskins; the men are all warriors, capable of lifting a thousand pounds. Buy one man and get a child free!"

Countless people were hawking their wares on the street, selling materials for refining weapons, medicinal herbs, and even slaves.

Yunhua watched with great interest. These scenes reminded him of the common occurrences in the major cities of the world of "Covering the Sky" and the world of "Mortal Cultivation," where all sorts of unscrupulous merchants were constantly present.

"This phoenix grass is definitely fake; it doesn't have a single phoenix aura!" Yunhua couldn't help but laugh. He himself was a phoenix, so who knew better than him whether the grass contained the aura of a phoenix?

Even the style of selling counterfeit goods is very similar; there must be a lot of unscrupulous merchants among the vendors in the vicinity.

Ji Yichuan, who was standing to the side, also laughed and said, "That's how it is in the city. There are genuine and fake goods. It just depends on whether you can tell the difference. That's what makes human civilization so interesting."

"It's nothing more than trying to win big with little investment!" Yunhua said leisurely. "The smallest investment yields the biggest reward. If you can take advantage of a few suckers, what does it matter if you tell a few lies? However, those who are fooled by this trick can only blame their own greed or misjudgment."

“That’s right, that’s exactly it!” Ji Yichuan nodded as well. “Brother Yun, although you’ve only been born, you already have such a good understanding of human society. You must have met some people before you were born!”

Ji Yichuan looked at Yunhua, wanting to know where Yunhua's knowledge came from.

Although he witnessed Yunhua's birth, Yunhua was not the "blank slate" of innate gods and demons he had imagined. Instead, Yunhua clearly possessed extremely high wisdom and insight, and was even proficient in magic!

“Every few years, some treasure hunters come here. I’ve witnessed both the beauty and greed of humanity. Actually, it’s pretty much the same in this city. There are too many unscrupulous merchants and slave traders.” Yunhua casually brushed it off. “That’s how intelligent life is. The more things they think about, the less pure they become.”

"Pure... It's easy to say, but actually difficult!" Ji Yichuan sighed.

"Ahead lies the inner city of our Ji Clan's Western Prefecture, the place where our Ji Clan lives. Please follow me!" Ji Yichuan led Yunhua into the inner city.

Ji Yichuan led the way and soon brought Yunhua to a side hall in his own residence.

"Brother Yun, this room will be your residence from now on." Ji Yichuan was very generous and gave the room to Yun Hua directly.

"Thank you!" Yunhua nodded.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Yichuan said, "Brother Yun, if you wish to familiarize yourself with our human society and our cultivation world, my Ji family is willing to grant you this favor. However, although the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' is widely circulated, my Ji family only possesses the first volume, which can only be cultivated up to the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion..."

During their conversations along the way, Yunhua naturally talked a lot with Ji Yichuan, including his desire to browse the Ji family's cultivation techniques. And when it came to cultivation techniques, the topic naturally turned to the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram," which was hailed as the number one divine and demonic body-refining technique.
