Tanggu Fusang

The Sun Sacred Emperor's gaze shifted, and he looked once more at Pang Bo and Purple Haze Fairy, who were kneeling before him.

Without saying another word, his gaze turned deep as he looked directly toward the Ziwei Star Domain, then strode away.

At the same time, Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Zi Xia, Xiao Nannan, and the Stone Coffin containing the remains of the Sun Sacred Emperor all floated up involuntarily, closely following behind the Sun Sacred Emperor.

One step forward, Star Shift.

The Sun Sacred Emperor was too fast; he vanished from the starry sky in an instant, heading towards the Ziwei Star Domain. In that instant, he transformed into an immortal celestial light, soaring through the Spacebreaker like Flying Immortal.

The speed was so fast, it was as if the Void the Great had been shattered, or as if time itself was being reversed.

Zhou Tong and his group, led by the Sun Sacred Emperor, felt as if the River of Time had become disordered, or as if they were ascending to heaven amidst the rosy clouds. No words could describe the feeling at this moment.

This was also the group's most direct experience of the Great Emperor's methods!

With just one step, such terrifying power was emanating from the Ancient Great Emperor; their power was truly vast and unfathomable.

A large purple star bursts forth with divine light, fixed at the end of the Eternal Ancient Star Void the Great.

Once Zhou Tong and the others regained their Divine Form, they immediately sensed a vast and boundless aura. Before them was a huge star, boundless and majestic, giving them an incomparably magnificent feeling, and an extraordinary aura was emanating from it.

That was the aura of Ancient Great Emperor.

More than one Great Emperor has attained enlightenment in this star field.

This is the Ziwei Star Domain.

In ancient mythology, Ziwei Ancient Star is the Emperor Star, also known as the Master of Doushu (a Chinese astrological system).

Daoist classics record that the Lord of Ziwei is in charge of the celestial and terrestrial order, leading the star gods of the Three Realms and the All Gods mountains and rivers. He is the sovereign of all phenomena, able to Summon Wind Call Rain and rain, and command thunder, lightning, and ghosts.

"We've finally arrived at the Ziwei Star Domain. The Sun Sacred Emperor is indeed the Sun Sacred Emperor. This speed is four or five years faster than when Ye Fan came to Ziwei Star in the original story!" Zhou Tong smiled.

The Sun Sacred Emperor surveyed the world with disdain, his eyes reflecting the passage of countless ages. With a single step, he could turn mountains upside down, and the vast oceans would recede into the distance, reaching everywhere he went.

The Sun Sacred Emperor led Zhou Tong and his entourage across mountains and seas, finally arriving at a pitch-black ocean. An ancient island sat in the black sea, teeming with life, with endless ancient herbs and a fragrant aroma filling the air.

What is most amazing and heartwarming is that there is an ancient tree on the island, golden in color, as if cast in gold, with lush golden leaves that flow with the Sun Sacred Power!

"Tang Valley, the Fusang Divine Tree!!" Zhou Tong was shocked. He thought the Sun Sacred Emperor would abandon them halfway, but he didn't expect him to bring them here directly.

The Sun Sacred Emperor glanced back at Zhou Tong: "You recognize this place?"

Zhou Tong quickly shook his head and said, "There is a legend of Tang Valley in my hometown."

As he spoke, Zhou Tong recounted the description of Tang Valley from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Overseas Eastern Classic states. "Below is Tang Valley. Above Tang Valley is Fusang, where the ten suns bathe, located north of Heichi."

"So that's where it is..." The Sun Sacred Emperor nodded slightly, now knowing where Zhou Tong's hometown was.

Earth is also a very famous ancient planet, a sacred place for raising corpses since ancient times. The Sun Sacred Emperor also visited there and knew quite a bit about Earth. Of course, Earth wasn't called that in the era of the Sun Sacred Emperor.

Without saying another word, the Sun Sacred Emperor led his group forward and descended directly upon the Tang Valley.

Upon entering, everyone immediately felt the boundless Sun Sacred Power flowing through them. Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Zi Xia, and the others were all scorched red by this intense Sun Sacred Power.

However, Zhou Tong was perfectly at ease.

He cultivated the "True Sun Scripture," and the Sun Sacred Power not only could not harm him, but was also a tonic for him.

"Bite!"

With a soft sound, the Sun Divine Talisman in Zhou Tong's Immortal Platform floated out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a small golden Sun Emperor that drifted to Ye Fan and the others, protecting them while simultaneously absorbing the nearby Sun Sacred Power and further refining it.

As the Sun Divine Talisman absorbed the excess Sun Sacred Power, Pang Bo, Ye Fan, Zi Xia, and the others immediately felt much better, and the scorching aura slowly dissipated.

"I never imagined that the Undying Divine Tree would have such offensive power!" Pang Bo exclaimed, looking up at the hibiscus tree.

"The Fusang Divine Tree does not bear fruit or grow sacred medicines, but it contains the Sun Sacred Power; it is the most special of all the Immortal Divine Medicine, and the only one with offensive capabilities!" Purple Haze Fairy also looked at the Fusang Divine Tree, a hint of fervor in her eyes.

This Fusang Tree is only six zhang tall, but it is more majestic than a mountain.

It possesses a unique aura, with golden Sun Sacred Power flowing, as if opening up an ancient universe and evolving three thousand realms, shrouded in a misty golden fog, displaying a myriad of phenomena.

"Boom..."

A sound of Wind and Thunder arose, and above the six-zhang-tall golden Fusang Divine Tree, an ancient palace appeared, hazy and indistinct, as if in the clouds or in another world.

"The World Tree!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.

The moment Zhou Tong saw the Fusang Tree, he knew that it was once the World Tree of this universe.

Although the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were ravaged and their laws were incomplete during the Immortal Ancient Era War, during the Chaotic Ancient Years, the Desolate Heaven Emperor once killed True Immortal Realm and even Quasi-Immortal King from the Otherworld Immortal Domain and other worlds, using the laws within these True Immortal Realm and Quasi-Immortal King to repair the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

It was around that time that a Sun Treasure Tree appeared and successfully evolved into the World Tree of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

However, during the hundreds of thousands of years that the Desolate Heaven Emperor slept, the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands once again experienced a great war.

Although the laws of the world were unharmed in that great war, the Immortal Domain plundered most of the world's origin, and the World Tree was subsequently downgraded back to its current state.

The Sun Sacred Emperor walked silently to the Fusang Tree, looking down over every mountain and land in the Ziwei Star Domain, his eyes filled with endless brilliance and sorrow.

"This Lifetime will likely be another turbulent Lifetime, so we need to make some preparations..." The Sun Sacred Emperor gently placed his coffin down.

His spiritual consciousness awakened from the evil thoughts in front of him, and he learned about the current era and some information about the path to immortality.

Zhou Tong's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Sun Sacred Emperor had already sensed the possible Dark Turmoil that might occur in this Lifetime and was making some preparations in advance?

"Although this Fortune was granted by evil intentions, I will not go back on my word! Since you have cultivated my True Sun Scripture, I will give you the Fusang Divine Tree!" The Sun Sacred Emperor did not make any move, but simply spoke casually.

Zhou Tong's face lit up with joy; the fully revived Sun Sacred Emperor was truly awe-inspiring.

In the original story, the Sun Sacred Emperor, who was not fully revived and was still dominated by evil thoughts, initially promised to give Ye Fan the Fusang Divine Tree, but later went back on his word and only gave him a branch.

The difference between these two is enormous!

Zhou Tong immediately stepped forward to take over the Fusang Divine Tree.

"However..." The Sun Sacred Emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Tong.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and countless Order Divine Chains burst forth from his palm. Each one was like Dao Tribulation Gold, radiating a dazzling metallic luster, flowing with golden immortal light, and exuding an aura of immortality.

These Order Divine Chains erupted from the palm of the Sun Sacred Emperor and then quickly merged into the entire Tang Valley.

"Boom!"

With a violent tremor, the entire island began to sink, and the black ocean surged in.

"What's going on? Tang Valley is disappearing?" Pang Bo exclaimed and immediately flew into the sky.

"Hurry up and go!" Ye Fan was also startled. He quickly grabbed the Xiao Nannan and flew into the air.

Purple Haze Fairy didn't say much, and followed closely beside Ye Fan as they flew away from Tang Valley.

"Holy crap... Isn't this Ye Fan's experience from the original story? It's happening to me?" Zhou Tong's expression changed slightly because he felt a terrifying power suddenly appear on the Fusang Divine Tree, firmly holding him and preventing him from leaving.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the Sun Sacred Emperor, only to find that the Sun Sacred Emperor had disappeared at some point, along with his coffin.

At the same time, a huge black hole appeared in the dark sea, swallowing Tang Valley and plunging it into eternal darkness, where even the golden Fusang Divine Tree could only emit a faint light.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and the others stood high in the sky, watching the scene before them in shock.

"Little Tyrant, what are you doing? Why aren't you leaving? Are you going to die clinging to the Fusang Tree? It's not worth risking your life for a mere Immortal Divine Medicine!" Pang Bo shouted anxiously.

"Zhou Tong, you already have the Bodhi Tree, why are you clinging to the Fusang Divine Tree? Come out now!" Ye Fan was also very anxious and called out.

"It's alright, this is a trial given to me by the Sun Sacred Emperor. Don't worry about me, just leave here, and I'll be out in a few years!" Zhou Tong also transmitted his voice to Ye Fan.

He now understood the meaning of the Sun Sacred Emperor's last word, "However."

The Fusang Divine Tree was given to me, but whether I can obtain it depends on my own abilities!

This is a test, a trial. To obtain a treasure like the Fusang Divine Tree, one must undergo such a trial.

"Boom!"

With a final soft thud, Tang Valley completely disappeared into the Sea Eye, vanishing from the world.
