After speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Tingting and the others beside him.
Seeing Fang Zheng pause his conversation, Jiang Tingting eagerly stepped forward to pay her respects and exclaimed, "Human Emperor Senior! You've returned."
Jiang Tingting looked at the man in green beside her and respectfully asked, "Human Emperor Senior, may I ask, what should I call this senior?"
Taiyin reached out and patted the man in green's shoulder, smiling as he said, "You can also call him Sacred Emperor."
Jiang Tingting was confused. "Sacred Emperor?"
"Yes, this is my excellent junior who inherited my will after me and continues to protect all beings. He makes me very proud – the Sun Sacred Emperor!"
"To distinguish him from me, just call him Sun Emperor."
Taiyin smiled, vigorously patting Sun Sacred Emperor's shoulder, and then pointed at Jiang Tingting, saying, "Sun, this is my successor. She has the Taiyin Physique just like me. Hurry up and give the junior a meeting gift!"
The Sun Sacred Emperor sized up Jiang Tingting and nodded, smiling gently.
"I have just been resurrected and have nothing else on me. I see your Yin energy is currently too strong, and your Taiyin origin is too potent. However, extreme Yin cannot grow, and extreme Yang cannot be born. Excessive Yin energy also makes one too rigid and prone to breaking."
He then looked at the blood pool beside them, which was filled with extremely dense Taiyin energy. A hint of helplessness appeared in his smile as he lightly tapped Jiang Tingting's forehead with a finger. "From now on, you will not lack resources for cultivation. I will then bestow upon you a wisp of Yang Harmony energy and the method of Yin-Yang Reversal to help you achieve balance."
Immediately, his finger, emitting divine light, carved nine mysterious ancient characters radiating Sun essence onto Jiang Tingting's forehead. They slowly merged into her Immortal Platform.
A colossal surge of Yang Harmony energy, far surpassing all the Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganoderma integrated into the blood pool, containing the purest life force, continuously spread from the nine ancient characters, alleviating the pressure her body endured from the excessive Taiyin origin.
The nine ancient characters, woven from Yang Harmony energy and Dao laws, resembling the sun, twirled and danced with the nine moon-like ancient characters already present in Jiang Tingting's Immortal Platform.
Yin and Yang merged, forming a cocoon of light suffused with chaotic energy, enveloping her body and plunging her into a transformation of her physique.
If Jiang Tingting's original physique could be called the Taiyin Physique.
Then, after the resonance amplification that caused her origin to surge and the subsequent harmonious transformation, her physique could likely be called the Taiyin King Physique, a king among Taiyin Physiques!
Following this, Taiyin turned and looked at Jiang Wen, who was beside him, his face filled with excitement and wanting to ask something. Taiyin interrupted his words, saying, "The human race has the Void and Hengyu, and also juniors like you. Both Sun and I are deeply gratified."
"It is precisely because you generations have steadfastly upheld tradition and protected all beings that sentient beings were able to retain a sliver of hope during the Dark Turmoil."
Taiyin spoke gently, "You have done very well, very well."
"And now, leave it to us. Go and rest well first, recover. After all the Great Emperors of all ages are resurrected, there will be many things for you to do."
"Juniors like you, who hold all beings in your hearts, should not die so early. You should continue to shine and exert yourselves in the future."
Taiyin lightly raised his hand, and from the blood pool beside him, the vital blood pregnant with infinite life force rose as a red glow.
He refined and purified all the Emperor Dao laws contained within. Although this greatly reduced the efficacy of the vital blood, it also prevented it from impacting those with lower cultivation.
Aside from the Supreme Dao Laws, the vast Taiyin energy within the vital blood was also catalyzed into Shaoyin Power, containing the gentlest life force.
Subsequently, the blood flow, containing endless Shaoyin life force and the pure Yang medicinal properties of the Nine Nether Yin Yang Bone Shedding Ganoderma, surged towards Jiang Wen, who hesitated and was about to speak again, transforming into blood-colored crystals that tightly enveloped him.
Over the next few days, the immense life force contained within would be gently infused into Jiang Wen's body, extending his lifespan by at least eight thousand years and restoring him to his youthful prime.
If not for other considerations, Taiyin could have directly activated the Taiyin Rebirth Method and, using the terrifyingly large amount of vital blood, forcibly allowed him to live a completely new life.
At this moment, besides five stiffly immobile Flood Dragons, only the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, Jiang Yifei, stood there in a daze, appearing somewhat at a loss.
He looked at his ancestor, Jiang Wen, and then at his junior, Jiang Tingting.
Both had fallen into a deep sleep after receiving immense fortuitous encounters, leaving him alone to be closely scrutinized by Taiyin Sacred Emperor and Sun Sacred Emperor, two ancient Sacred Emperors.
Taiyin Sacred Emperor's eyes shone with the light of the moon as he gazed at Jiang Yifei, lamenting, "It's truly marvelous. The blood of the ancestor has fully revived within him, making him almost identical to the ancestor."
Sun Sacred Emperor also sighed, "Indeed, it's truly marvelous. To live in the thoughts of all beings, to live in the bloodline of descendants – a different kind of immortality."
"I also made similar attempts in the past, but unfortunately, my descendants were schemed against, and the foundation I left behind was depleted in repeated Dark Turmoils. My past attempts ultimately did not fully succeed."
Like the rising sun, a divine light shot from Sun Sacred Emperor's pupils, gazing into the deepest parts of Jiang Yifei's bloodline and Primordial Spirit:
"And Hengyu and Void, these two human juniors have gone further than I did. If they were to merge with a peak Emperor's body, they might be able to live a completely new life."
Taiyin sighed. "However, while it's fine to briefly come back to life, ensuring a completely new life would require an extremely painful price."
Shaking his head, he seemed to see the entire Jiang Family lying dead, all blood relatives drained of blood and their Primordial Spirits extracted, ultimately forming a Primordial Spirit to inhabit a physical body within a blood cocoon – a tragic scene.
Listening to the conversation between the two human Sacred Emperors, Jiang Yifei's forehead gradually began to sweat. He hesitantly asked, "Two Sacred Emperor Seniors, does this mean that our Jiang Family's Hengyu Great Emperor has not truly died yet?"
Taiyin shook his head. "No, he has died."
"It's just... he hasn't died completely yet."
"And he might very well come back to life soon."
"What!" Jiang Yifei desperately tried to decipher the meaning behind their words.
Although he had a vague guess in his heart, he dared not be certain, and could only brainstorm endlessly in his mind. "Could it be that my bloodline reversion is not an accident, but a contingency left behind by Hengyu Great Emperor?"
He pondered, "Hengyu Great Emperor's bloodline reverting to its ancestor within me, making me almost identical to my ancestor. If my ancestor could be resurrected through me, what would happen to me? Would I die?"
As he thought, the gentle smile of a woman appeared in his mind, and the infant in her arms.
She was an ordinary Jiang Family member, who had not even embarked on the path of cultivation, and was also Jiang Yifei's – the Patriarch of the Jiang Family's – beloved wife.
Jiang Yifei's face contorted in pain. "If I die, what will happen to Cai Xuan and Feng'er?"
His expression was conflicted, then gradually firmed up. "If my ancestor truly needs me, not to protect all beings, but only to protect my beloved, then I must become the sacrifice for Hengyu Great Emperor's resurrection!"
However, just as Jiang Yifei's face was filled with conflict, Taiyin Sacred Emperor temporarily ignored him and, pulling Sun Sacred Emperor, sat down together and said earnestly to Fang Zheng beside them:
"Fang Zheng, thank you so, so much. The first step to resurrecting all the Great Emperors has succeeded."
"This one, known as the Sun Holy Emperor, only attained his Dao thirty thousand years after my death..."
Taiyin gave Fang Zheng, who was curious, a general introduction to the Sun Holy Emperor's deeds.
After a while...
The Taiyin Sacred Emperor once again said to Fang Zheng with a solemn expression, "The situation facing the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands is worse than I previously anticipated. We need to speed up our progress."
