Yes! To this day, Ying Hao had yet to refine an Ultimate Emperor Weapon!
It was not that he did not want to, but that he had never found a sufficiently good opportunity!
Of course, if he merely wanted to refine an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, he could have done so when he proved Dao and became Emperor.
But he did not want to refine just any Ultimate Emperor Weapon. If he was going to do it, he would do it perfectly.
Throughout his growth, he had encountered one fortuitous opportunity after another. He had even obtained Immortal Gold, an extreme-grade material.
The most precious among them was a piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold, an unparalleled divine material for refining an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
Phoenix Blood Red Gold was supremely yang and blazing, forged to the extreme. It was as red as phoenix blood and naturally bore divine phoenix patterns.
He possessed the Sun God Physique. Refining an Ultimate Emperor Weapon with Phoenix Blood Red Gold was undoubtedly the best choice.
But after fusing with the Golden Crow Bloodline and transforming his Sun God Physique into the Sacred Sun Physique, his thoughts changed accordingly.
What he needed was an Ultimate Emperor Weapon capable of bearing his Invincible Dao and perfectly matching him.
Especially after he shattered the Heavenly Heart Imprint and broke through the myriad laws of Heaven and Earth, this desire grew even stronger.
Phoenix Blood Red Gold was excellent, but it was still insufficient to bear his Dao. Thus, he had never refined an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
During his recent journey, he had seen the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Killing Formation Diagram, and an idea had suddenly arisen in his mind.
Who said an Ultimate Emperor Weapon had to be a weapon?
The Four Immortal Slaying Swords were the best example. They appeared to be four killing swords, but were actually a single Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
As it happened, he had obtained Primordial Violet Qi at that time, and the idea in his heart grew even stronger.
He more or less knew what kind of Ultimate Emperor Weapon he should refine!
In Tanggu Valley, Ying Hao secluded himself for several hundred years, gradually perfecting the idea in his heart.
One day, Ying Hao opened his eyes. With one step, he crossed from the Ziwei Star Domain into the Big Dipper Star Domain.
He restrained his aura and quietly set out. After wandering through the Central Continent, he eventually arrived beside an Immortal Pool.
Atop a huge mountain, the Immortal Pool shimmered with multicolored light, while mist and rosy clouds billowed all around. It was fantastical, its waters as clear as jade, with surging spiritual energy cascading down.
The Immortal Transformation Pool had been the subject of countless legends since ancient times. It was a land of immortality.
The Immortal Transformation Pool had always been mysterious. It emerged only once every ten thousand years or so, and ordinary people had no chance of seeing this immortal land.
At that moment, Ying Hao stood before the Immortal Transformation Pool and immediately sensed an inexplicable aura. This place seemed to be the origin of life.
Vaguely, someone seemed to be sitting cross-legged in the void, expounding on the Great Dao of creating Heaven and Earth, making people sink into it and find it difficult to break free.
Ying Hao was completely unaffected. In his eyes, the true appearance of the Immortal Transformation Pool was reflected.
The Immortal Transformation Pool was a place where immortals ascended. It was rarely seen in the world and contained boundless Fortune, but it also harbored terrifying killing intent.
Ying Hao stepped into the Immortal Transformation Pool, ignored the various killing intents, and reached out with both hands toward the depths of the pool.
From time to time, he took things out of the Immortal Transformation Pool, only to quickly return them.
There were quite a few rare treasures in the Immortal Transformation Pool, but he naturally had no interest in anything useless to him.
"Found it!"
In Ying Hao's hand was a huge black stone. Streak after streak of auspicious radiance fell from it, making one feel incomparably comfortable.
This was a Chaos Stone, an unparalleled treasure worth a fortune, and a weapon-refining material on the same level as Immortal Gold.
The Chaos Stone was not only incomparably hard and naturally formed a Chaos Seal, but also possessed unparalleled benefits for aiding cultivation.
An unparalleled divine object was hidden within the Chaos Stone. Once extracted, it could immediately be refined into an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
Just as he held the Chaos Stone in his hand and began examining it carefully, a gentle breeze suddenly brushed past, and tiny green ripples spread across the Immortal Transformation Pool.
A fist-sized piece of green copper emerged first. It was mottled with rust, and a Chaos Green Lotus had taken root upon it.
The Chaos Green Lotus was no more than a foot tall. Its tough, crystalline roots coiled around the green copper, the two growing together.
"A fragment of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and the Chaos Green Lotus?"
Ying Hao's gaze was deep as he stared at the Chaos Green Lotus. He could sense a vigorous vitality.
The transformation of the Chaos Green Lotus had actually already begun!
Severing the origin of the Immortal Medicine and transforming into a true living being, no longer existing eternally in this world—this would be an earth-defying path.
As far as he knew, the Chaos Green Lotus would ultimately succeed, transforming from an Immortal Medicine into a true living being and eventually becoming a peerless Demon Emperor.
The Immortal Medicine possessed a spirit, and this was an immortal land like the Immortal Transformation Pool. Even he could not forcibly locate the Chaos Green Lotus.
In other words, since the Chaos Green Lotus had appeared at this moment, it had clearly done so deliberately, manifesting itself before him of its own accord.
The Chaos Green Lotus swayed gently. A man in green robes walked ashore step by step, looking exceedingly heroic.
A piece of green copper covered in mottled rust hovered above his head. It came ashore with him and arrived before Ying Hao.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
The man in green clasped his hands in salute. He did not grovel simply because the person before him was a Great Emperor. Instead, he remained neither servile nor overbearing and regarded him as an equal.
Every movement of the man in green was completely natural. He carried no oppressive might; instead, he possessed an aura of natural Dao and technique.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
In Ying Hao's eyes, there was actually no man in green at all. There was only a Chaos Green Lotus rooted in a piece of green copper.
Nine leaves supported Heaven and Earth. A single emerald vine-root suppressed deities, its jade light shooting into the heavens and dazzling the eyes. When its jade leaves unfolded, they seemed to open an eternal azure sky.
But precisely because of this, it deserved his attention. He was facing an Immortal Medicine with consciousness.
There were only a handful of Immortal Medicines in the world, but those Immortal Medicines possessed only hazy intelligence and could not be considered to have true consciousness.
The Chaos Green Lotus was special. Not only was its origin extraordinary, it had also once crossed paths with the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Now that its transformation had begun and it possessed true consciousness, it naturally deserved to be addressed by him as "fellow Daoist."
"Meeting is fate. I wish to discuss the Dao with you, fellow Daoist. I wonder if that would be acceptable?" the Chaos Green Lotus said.
He could sense that the person before him was extraordinary—not merely because the other was a powerhouse invincible in the world.
On this person, he sensed a familiar aura, as if he were creating Heaven and Earth.
For this reason, he had risked a great deal by appearing before this person before his transformation was complete.
There was a mysterious connection guiding him. He could sense that the opportunity for him to attain the Dao might lie with the person before him.
"Certainly!"
The Chaos Green Lotus wanted to discuss the Dao with him, and Ying Hao also wished to discuss the Dao with the Chaos Green Lotus and glimpse the mysteries of the Immortal Medicine.
The next moment, profound Dao sounds rang out and drifted above the Immortal Transformation Pool. Boundless phenomena appeared along with them.
Facing the Chaos Green Lotus, Ying Hao did not expound upon the Dao of a Great Emperor, nor did he speak of the method for transforming into a Mortal World Immortal. Instead, he described the true meaning of creating Heaven and Earth.
These were his gains from the Heaven-Opening Mark. Although they were nearly impossible to comprehend, that did not prevent him from describing them.
The Chaos Green Lotus swayed gently. Although it could barely understand anything, it listened as if intoxicated.
Vaguely, it seemed to see the scene of Heaven and Earth being created and witness the origin of all things.
The mysterious connection had indeed been correct. The person before it was truly the foundation of its attainment of the Dao!
