In the desolate and silent cosmic starry sky, Yang Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, diligently cultivating the True Scripture of the Sun.
The essence of the Great Sun rolled in from the cosmic starry sky, continuously being absorbed into Yang Qing's body to aid his cultivation of Solar Divine Sense.
The one-armed elder had once again fallen into a daze, hugging the Stone Coffin blankly, with no further movement.
But as Yang Qing cultivated the True Scripture of the Sun, the one-armed elder seemed to be affected, showing a slight change.
The elder stared at Yang Qing, as if seeing Yang Qing's Solar Divine Sense, and strands of the Great Sun's essence slowly flowed into the elder's body.
Yang Qing naturally knew nothing of this; his mind was empty, and he was immersed in a deep cultivation state.
One day, two days, three days.
With his continuous efforts, his cultivation base soared, and he soon reached the moment of breakthrough.
"Rumble!"
The Heavenly Tribulation descended, just like last time, surging and overwhelming him, with only endless lightning flashing.
When the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, Yang Qing's figure reappeared, sitting cross-legged in the void, his appearance solemn and dignified.
On the foundation of the first heaven of the Immortal Platform Realm, he had crossed several steps consecutively, successfully ascending to the second heaven of the Immortal Platform Realm.
As his realm advanced, his Sacred Body underwent a transformation, his physical body becoming even more powerful, and the might of the Sacred Body had gradually begun to manifest.
Coupled with the tempering of his divine sense with the essence of the Great Sun, purging the mortal dust, his divine sense had transformed into Great Sun Divine Sense.
Without exaggeration, with his current combat power, within the same realm, he was already unrivaled.
In this era, the first heaven of the Immortal Platform Realm was considered to have just entered the hall, capable of being called a half-step Great Power.
The second heaven of the Immortal Platform Realm was already a powerful figure, a true Great Power, capable of walking freely across any ancient star.
However, to contend on the Strongest Trial Ancient Road with this alone was clearly insufficient, so Yang Qing soon immersed himself in cultivation once more.
As his cultivation base continued to rise, his Solar Divine Sense became increasingly condensed, pure and flawless, like a true sun.
A trace of clarity gradually returned to the one-armed elder's eyes, and a flicker of emotion appeared on his face as he stared intently at Yang Qing.
"True Scripture of the Sun? How can the speed be so fast?" the elder muttered to himself.
He was already close to dissolving into the Dao, with only his obsession remaining; unless something touched him, he would not regain clarity.
And he was clearly touched now, because of the True Scripture of the Sun, because of the Solar Divine Sense, and even more so because of the young man before him.
Although he was not the true Human Emperor, he came from the lineage of the Human Emperor. There were countless prodigies in the world; who could move the Human Emperor?
The young man before him was undoubtedly one of them!
The True Scripture of the Sun was an Emperor Scripture created by the Sun Human Emperor, and he naturally knew its difficulty clearly.
Throughout the long years of the past and present, there were not a few geniuses with fast cultivation speeds, but that was only relative.
No matter how talented, upon reaching the Immortal Platform Realm, breaking through realms required a certain amount of time, but what about the young man before him?
Cultivating for merely a few days and then breaking through, what kind of anomaly was this?
Yet, the sun's true essence the other cultivated was incredibly condensed, clearly the result of countless refinements, with an incredibly solid foundation.
But cultivating for a few days and being refined countless times were contradictory, how could they appear in the same person?
However, the elder only observed for a moment before ceasing to ponder these matters, as he had more important things to do.
His originally dim and lifeless eyes suddenly lit up, as if two great suns had risen into the sky.
In his gaze, two incomplete Five-Colored Altars flew out, piecing themselves together to form a complete Five-Colored Altar.
"Send me back to the Ziwei Ancient Star, grant you fortune, abandon me, a curse of a hundred generations..."
The one-armed elder's expression was ferocious as he struggled to inject a wisp of power into the Five-Colored Altar; this was the limit of what he could do now.
From here on, it would depend on the young man before him. If he could lend a helping hand, he would naturally repay him a hundredfold.
Moreover, if the Human Emperor were still alive and saw such an outstanding descendant of the human race, he would surely be very pleased!
At this moment, the one-armed elder also reached his limit. A stone pagoda fell from between his brows, and the elder, along with the Stone Coffin, merged into the stone pagoda.
"Senior, rest assured, I will definitely return the Human Emperor's soul to its homeland!" Yang Qing said solemnly.
He took the stone pagoda in his hand and observed it carefully for a moment, finding no abnormalities, as if it were just an ordinary stone pagoda.
But he knew very well that this stone pagoda, if nothing unexpected happened, should be the Sun Divine Emperor's ultimate Imperial Weapon, the Solar Stone Pagoda.
The value of an ultimate Imperial Weapon was self-evident; possessing it would allow one to traverse the world with unmatched dominance.
For him, being able to reference it would also be of considerable help when forging his own weapons.
For example, the sword he forged with Immortal Tear Green Gold, after repeated tempering, was no longer a rough embryo.
The sword was three feet seven inches long, its runes intertwined, emitting a verdant mist, like cascading celestial rivers, dazzling and brilliant.
The long sword, forged entirely from Immortal Tear Green Gold, once formed, was far beyond the reach of other weapons and had gradually revealed its extraordinary nature.
But this was clearly not enough; his goal was to forge a peerless sword capable of shattering the darkness that shrouded the world.
The Five-Colored Altar emitted a brilliant radiance, with Bagua runes flashing, constructing a Starry Sky Gate.
Yang Qing stepped into the Starry Sky Gate. In the eternal passage, a purple great star radiated divine light, fixed at the end of the void.
The aura of an ancient Great Emperor washed over him, an extraordinary presence that immediately made him feel the uniqueness of this great star.
This was the ancient Ziwei Star, exceptionally old, not only the birthplace of humanity but also a place that had birthed more than one Great Emperor.
The Human Emperors of Taiyin and Sun, along with Emperor Hengyu, had all emerged from the Ziwei Star Domain.
Soon, Yang Qing reached the end of the passage and plunged into the ancient Ziwei Star, falling from the sky and hurtling towards the ground.
"Rumble!"
With a deafening roar, Yang Qing descended from the heavens, crashing onto the earth. The impact echoed with a massive boom, kicking up clouds of dust.
Yang Qing brushed off the dirt on his body. When he finally took in his surroundings, he was stunned.
On his left and right, two factions stood in opposition, and he had landed precisely between them.
If he hadn't suddenly fallen from the sky, the two groups would likely have already begun their battle. But now, all eyes were fixed on him.
Yang Qing rubbed his head. What was this situation? If he said he was just passing by, would anyone believe him?
No matter who these two factions were, it had nothing to do with him. He still had to travel and had no time to waste here.
Just as he was preparing to leave, several figures suddenly blocked his path, each exuding a bone-chilling coldness.
A strange smile appeared on Yang Qing's face. What, did they intend to silence him?
"Is this the helper you invited? Ridiculous! No matter who comes, the Great Yin Divine Cult will become history today!"
