The Azure Emperor's Past
"Clang!"
With a tremor, the inner Hegemonic Bell emitted rays of dark yellow light, each ray as Sword One, powerful enough to cleave Star Scripture in two.
Finally, the light subsided, and the Hegemonic Bell once again became simple and unadorned, with only blue, purple, and black colors flowing around it, giving it an extremely unique Dao Rhyme.
Inside the bell's mouth, a vast and Chaos Qi surged like an ocean. Though seemingly small, it contained thirty-three boundless Chaos Small World.
"The main body of the Hegemonic Bell is composed of Immortal Metal Planting Method, the Chaos Immortal Marrow opens up thirty-three chaotic Chaos Small World, and finally the Root of Profound Yellow Mother Qi takes root in the Chaos Small World to stabilize the world... The structure of the Hegemonic Bell is now completely complete!" Zhou Tong said softly, "Next, we just need to find all nine Immortal Metal!"
Zhou Tong stood quietly in the starry sky, briefly sensing the changes in his Hegemonic Bell, then turned his head and looked at a certain spot in the starry sky.
"If I remember correctly, the location of that Small World should be here!" Zhou Tong was in a hurry, so he went directly to the location of the Small World that he had sensed earlier.
"Di Tian, Qingshi the Immortal, and the Guiding Envoy have all been killed by him. What is Overlord planning to do?" In the Human Race's 57th City, countless people stared in shock at Zhou Tong in the sky.
He had already dealt with his enemies and even obtained a second Source of Dao, so why has he suddenly arrived here? What is he trying to do?
"No way? The Overlord has found this secret?" an old man suddenly exclaimed.
"What's going on?" a young man immediately asked respectfully.
"The reason why Di Tian and Qingshi the Immortal stayed in the Fifty-Seventh City for so long is because they learned from an ancient scroll that the Azure Emperor once stayed near the Fifty-Seventh City and discovered a Chaos Small World." The old man said in a deep voice, "If I am not mistaken, the Overlord has already found the location of that Small World."
"What?"
These words immediately shocked everyone once again.
Di Tian and Qingshi the Immortal were holding ancient scrolls that they had been searching for for more than half a year without success, but unexpectedly, the Overlord, who had just arrived here, found them directly?
What incredible luck!
Everyone was jealous.
But soon, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement, for there might be some Fortune left behind by the Azure Emperor!
In an instant, everyone was eager to follow Zhou Tong into this Chaos Small World.
Of course, some people immediately activated their magical artifacts to communicate with figures like Great Sage and quickly report on the events in this Chaos Small World.
On the other side, in the starry sky, Zhou Tong stared at a certain spot in the starry sky, and then used the Gu Clan Treasure Art. With a wave of his hand, he tore through the Void the Great and discovered a Small World.
He left behind several array platforms engraved with the Great Emperor Array Patterns, and then his figure flashed as he directly entered the Small World.
"Damn it, the Great Emperor Array Patterns... He was prepared all along!" Everyone's excited expressions turned into anger when they saw the array platforms at the entrance to the Small World.
With such an Great Emperor's Array Platform guarding the outside, even if they could get in, it would definitely be too late, and Zhou Tong would surely take away the most precious treasures inside.
On the other side, when Zhou Tong entered this space, he immediately felt an extremely rich immortal spiritual energy. This was an ancient little world, and even contained wisps of immortal Dao aura.
"As expected, this is Small World left over from the Chaotic Ancient Years. There are even wisps of Longevity Substance." A look of surprise flashed through Zhou Tong's mind. Just a moment ago, he felt as if he had become thirty years younger.
The Longevity Substance truly lives up to its reputation as the ultimate Longevity Method in this world. Zhou Tong examined his own Wheel Sea and found that the number of scratches on it had decreased by thirty, clearly indicating that his lifespan had been extended by thirty years.
"Longevity Substance ...but unfortunately, this is the only batch available." Zhou Tong then shook his head.
This world is indeed ancient, containing a trace of Longevity Substance. However, this last trace of Longevity Substance was completely absorbed into Zhou Tong Zhou Tong's body the moment he opened the door to this Small World.
Thirty years of lifespan is a lot for ordinary people, and a huge surprise for cultivators whose lifespan is about to end, but for a young cultivator like Zhou Tong, it is better than nothing.
"However, there are only thirteen scratches Wheel Sea, and I am thirteen years old this year!!" Zhou Tong said softly.
Then, Zhou Tong's gaze fell on a pool not far away. There, the Immortal Qi shimmered, the air was filled with ethereal mist, and the blue clouds rippled and rose upwards. In the pool, there was a huge, boundless Azure Lotus with Twelve-Petal Lotus Platform, swaying gently. Auspicious mist wafted around it, and Chaos Qi swirled around it, making it extremely mysterious.
"This is... the Azure Emperor Lotus? No!" Zhou Tong realized almost instantly that this lotus platform seemed to have some connection with his Azure Emperor Weapon.
"Brush!!"
Just then, the Chaos Green Lotus, which had been residing within Zhou Tong's body, seemed to sense something and awakened on its own. It transformed into a beam of green light and flew out from his Wheel Sea, drifting to the side of the Twelve-petal Green Lotus Platform in the pool, adorning it with specks of rosy light. An indescribable thought emanated from the Azure Lotus.
"This feeling, sorrow? Is this Azure Lotus really related to the Azure Emperor? Could it be the Azure Emperor's Imperial Son or daughter or something?" Zhou Tong sensed an emotional fluctuation, felt the same way, and couldn't help but feel sorrow as well.
At the same time, a scene emerged from the Azure Emperor Lotus and the Twelve-petal Green Lotus Platform.
Chaos tore apart, and this Small World was discovered.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of blue light shone from the outside and transformed into a handsome man.
He walked in step by step from outside the Chaos Small World, his eyes filled with the vision of World Creation and the birth of the universe, so profound and unfathomable.
"The Azure Emperor!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
This wasn't the first time he had seen the Azure Emperor's appearance; he had witnessed it many times during the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Azure Emperor entered the Chaos Small World. His every move was so natural, without any oppressive aura or terrifying presence, like an Eternal Ancient Star Immortal Body.
He quietly walked to the Twelve-petal Green Lotus Platform, carefully examining it, his eyes reflecting fragments of time. But the more he looked, the more solemn the Azure Emperor's expression became.
Especially when he saw the end, his body trembled slightly, but his eyes returned to normal.
He reached out and gently stroked the Twelve-petal Green Lotus Platform, his eyes filled with endless confusion, and said leisurely, "You are clearly of the same lineage as me, but why do I not know you?"
"Does reincarnation really exist in this world?" The Azure Emperor looked up at the sky, his mind filled with unsettling thoughts.
"Perhaps, only by entering the Immortal Domain can one clearly discern the past life... But even if one clearly discerns the past life, what good will it do?"
The Azure Emperor's gaze was initially somewhat confused, but it grew increasingly resolute, finally culminating in a firm declaration. "Where I reside is the Immortal Domain!!"
