Yang Qing sat cross-legged in the Sun Human Emperor's residence, his mind free of distractions, forgetting both self and surroundings as he strode boldly forward within the realm of Dao.
Before cultivating, he had specifically drunk tea brewed from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, determined to bring himself to his best condition.
The Fusang Ancient Tree scattered divine radiance from its branches as surging Solar Sacred Power rolled in. This was clearly a rare opportunity for cultivation.
Cultivating beneath an Immortal Divine Tree was a privilege reserved for a Human Emperor, not to mention cultivating the True Scripture of the Sun.
The boundless Solar Sacred Power helped him wash away the mortal dust from his body and continuously temper his divine sense. His Solar Divine Sense became ever more condensed.
With his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, ascending step by step became only natural.
The eyes of the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought grew increasingly bright as he stared fixedly at Yang Qing, seemingly lost in thought.
Perhaps even a Peerless Expert like the Sun Human Emperor had been shocked by Yang Qing's unbelievable cultivation speed.
Meanwhile, Tanggu Valley, which had been peaceful for countless years, became tumultuous once again. Shouts of battle and furious roars soared into the heavens.
Everyone who arrived at Tanggu Valley went mad!
The Immortal Divine Medicine Fusang Ancient Tree, the Sun Human Emperor's residence—every single thing here was enough to drive people mad.
Everyone understood that whoever could occupy Tanggu Valley would surely dominate the entire Ziwei Star Domain.
A bloody battle thus became inevitable!
The various great lineages of the Ziwei Star Domain, along with reclusive experts who had not appeared for ages, all fought desperately without regard for their lives.
When these people finally fought their way to the Sun Human Emperor's residence, they were all slightly stunned.
They had fought desperately for so long, yet someone had already gotten here first?
This was the Sun Human Emperor's residence, quite possibly the place where the Sun Human Emperor had passed away in meditation.
The Sun Human Emperor's inheritance, even the Sun Human Emperor's Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon—each was enough to make people drool with greed.
And all of it might already have fallen into the hands of the person before them.
For a moment, everyone's gaze converged on Yang Qing. Then they were all dumbfounded.
Surging Solar Sacred Power continuously entered Yang Qing's body, while a great sun formed from Solar Divine Sense illuminated heaven and earth.
What kind of peerless prodigy was this?
Anyone with even a little knowledge could sense Yang Qing's extraordinariness. He was undoubtedly a prodigy who drew all eyes.
"Kill!"
Once such a peerless prodigy grew up, he would surely become unstoppable.
Moreover, the mere possibility that the Sun Human Emperor's inheritance had fallen into this man's hands was enough to make them strike ruthlessly.
Several experts attacked at once, intending to kill the youth before them and eliminate future trouble.
Just then, Yang Qing opened his eyes, a trace of anger and impatience appearing on his face.
No matter who it was, anyone disturbed while cultivating would be extremely displeased.
Especially since he had just been advancing by leaps and bounds, on the verge of breaking through once more.
"You're courting death!"
Yang Qing softly uttered four words, then rose and threw a punch in one fluid motion. Vast fist intent instantly surged into the sky.
He unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist with unstoppable momentum, battering the void until it trembled, mountains roared, seas churned, and sun and moon lost their light.
"What?"
The experts of the Ziwei Star Domain were all horrified. Several failed to react in time and were instantly blasted into pieces.
The rest stared at Yang Qing in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief. This youth was actually this powerful?
At such an age, with such cultivation, and with such an overbearing fist—among the younger generation of the Ziwei Star Domain, who could compare?
"If this child is not killed, he will become a future calamity!" someone said gravely.
Several Saints had already brought out inherited Saint weapons. Terrifying auras filled heaven and earth as they bore down upon Yang Qing.
Yang Qing was speechless. Who had he provoked? Not only had his cultivation been interrupted, but so many people now wanted to kill him?
Did they really think he was made of clay, so easy to bully?
Just as he was about to begin a massacre, a vast aura that seemed capable of suppressing three thousand worlds suddenly rose.
Yang Qing was immediately overjoyed. He looked toward the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought and saw divine light blazing in his eyes, so piercing it shook the soul.
"Across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, I alone am supreme. I sweep through three thousand worlds, reverse the six paths of reincarnation—I am the Solar Sacred Emperor!"
The Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought had finally regained clarity. A peerless aura capable of sweeping across the cosmos burst forth from his body.
As this aura erupted, all of Tanggu Valley began to shake. The Fusang Ancient Tree resonated with it, as though rejoicing at the Human Emperor's return.
The Fusang Ancient Tree showered down endless divine radiance upon the Sun Human Emperor, making him appear incomparably sacred.
Everyone was suppressed by the Human Emperor's aura until they could barely breathe. They had no choice but to kneel upon the ground and worship him.
Yang Qing alone remained standing. The Human Emperor's peerless aura swept past him without affecting him in the slightest.
"Very good! With a junior like you among humanity, the Human Emperor would surely be greatly gratified!"
The Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought was filled with emotion as he silently watched Yang Qing. His sharp gaze seemed capable of seeing through him completely.
He was not the Sun Human Emperor, merely a wisp of the Human Emperor's malicious thought. Only with the aid of the Fusang Ancient Tree had he regained clarity.
Naturally, the youth before him had also played a part. The True Scripture of the Sun cultivated by the youth had resonated with the Fusang Ancient Tree.
Even now, he remained deeply shaken. Throughout all ages, had there ever been such an unbelievable cultivation speed?
Even if the Human Emperor were resurrected, he would likely be just as astonished upon witnessing this youth's cultivation.
"As a human, this was only right!" Yang Qing said with righteous solemnity.
The Human Emperor's achievements had covered all ages, and he had rendered indelible service to humanity. As a human, was it not only proper to let the Human Emperor's soul return home?
"Though I am not the Human Emperor, since I have made a promise, I naturally will not go back on my word!" the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought said.
The Human Emperor's return home had depended entirely on the youth before him. For that alone, he could not offer nothing in return.
Moreover, the youth was such a monstrous talent that even the Human Emperor himself would have praised him and wished to guide this junior.
With a raised hand and a pointed finger, a thick branch fell from the Fusang Divine Tree. It was as tall as a person, covered in golden leaves, and dazzlingly radiant.
After presenting the mature branch of the Fusang Divine Tree to the youth, he pointed again, touching the youth's forehead.
"Thank you, Human Emperor!" Yang Qing said respectfully.
The Human Emperor's gift was exceedingly generous. That branch contained the essence of the Fusang Divine Tree and could even extend a Great Emperor's life by an entire lifetime.
Besides that, the Human Emperor had also given him the complete True Scripture of the Sun, including its most precious forbidden chapters.
"You must walk your own path. The paths of others can only serve as reference!" the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought said.
Yang Qing nodded. His master had told him the same thing before, so he naturally understood its importance.
The next moment, the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought pointed with his hand, and the space around Yang Qing began to shift.
When the space stabilized, he found himself before a Five-Colored Altar, with the Starry Sky Gate already open.
Yang Qing stepped into the Starry Sky Gate without hesitation. He knew the Human Emperor had seen through everything and was sending him to the Strongest Trial Ancient Road.
How could the Human Sacred Body be absent from the struggle upon the Emperor's Road?
Prodigies of this era, tremble!
