Beside the Immortal Transformation Pool, the nine leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus supported the heavens, swaying gently as emerald light shot into the sky.
Suddenly, a universe faintly appeared atop the Chaos Green Lotus, with a lotus seed evolving within it.
It recreated the scene of the creation of heaven and earth, opening up a true universe and evolving all things under heaven.
Ying Hao continued preaching, but most of his attention had shifted to the Chaos Green Lotus.
Discussing the Dao was not merely a matter of him preaching alone. They should exchange insights and verify their own Daos against each other.
He spoke of the Heaven-Opening Mark. Influenced by him, the Chaos Green Lotus began evolving its own Dao.
A lotus beneath the azure sky for all eternity—the Chaos Green Lotus had once nurtured a lotus seed in the primordial chaos before the creation of heaven and earth, witnessing the entire process of their formation.
Over the endless years, the Chaos Green Lotus had witnessed far too much of the world's rise and fall, including the evolution of the Immortal Medicine.
Every Immortal Medicine had an extraordinary origin. Their silhouettes could already be seen in the distant past.
All of this had originally been mere rumors, but at this moment, he had truly witnessed it on the Chaos Green Lotus.
From the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, through the changes of each era, and to the constant transformations of the laws of heaven and earth.
He had witnessed a magnificent ancient history. While deeply moved, he had also gained a profound understanding of the mysteries of the Immortal Medicine.
Because of the changes brought by time and the transformations of the laws of heaven and earth, the Immortal Medicine had endured throughout the ages, constantly adapting to the new world.
For that very reason, the traces of time were engraved upon the Immortal Medicine. They were the most fundamental manifestation of the Great Dao.
Before he knew it, the Heaven-Opening Mark, which had originally been so difficult to comprehend, showed a hint of looseness. He seemed to understand many things.
The mysterious Dao tones abruptly ceased. The man formed from the Chaos Green Lotus bowed to Ying Hao before slowly dissipating.
The harvest this time had far exceeded his imagination. The favor was simply too great, and he did not know whether he would ever have a chance to repay it.
A breeze stirred. Within the Immortal Transformation Pool, only the Chaos Green Lotus remained, rooted in the green copper block as it slowly sank to the bottom.
Ying Hao cupped his hands in salute. In this exchange on the Dao, not only had the Chaos Green Lotus benefited greatly—so had he.
Whether regarding the Heaven-Opening Mark or his own transformation in the future, he had gained entirely new insights.
He believed the same was true for the Chaos Green Lotus. This should accelerate its transformation, and Azure Emperor might even emerge ahead of schedule.
With one step, he stood above the nine heavens, looking down upon the entire Big Dipper Star Domain.
Everything was ready. He simply decided not to return to the Ziwei Star Domain, preparing instead to forge the Ultimate Emperor Weapon right there in the Big Dipper Star Domain.
His entire body trembled, and Ultimate Emperor Might spread across the starry sky. Blazing True Sun Fire surged out of Ying Hao's body.
The True Sun Fire condensed into a gigantic furnace. Ying Hao took out the Chaos Stone and pointed a finger at it, causing it to disintegrate inch by inch.
He tossed the shattered Chaos Stone into the furnace. In the end, only a mass of golden material remained, radiating brilliant light.
This was the sacred object within the Chaos Stone. It could be said to be the embryonic form of an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
There was no need to forge it anew. As long as he engraved his own Dao into it, he could obtain a supreme treasure.
He did not send the sacred object into the furnace. The Ultimate Emperor Weapon he was forging this time was rather special and had no use for it.
Afterward, he took out one rare weapon-forging material after another: Immortal Gold that was nearly impossible to find in the world, and precious Mother Qi of All Things.
Under the blazing True Sun Fire, all the materials were melted into a single furnace, and the embryonic form of a weapon slowly began to take shape.
At the same time, as Ultimate Emperor Might spread throughout heaven and earth, the entire Big Dipper Star Domain trembled.
When countless people raised their heads, they immediately saw a gigantic furnace suspended above the nine heavens, radiating astonishing light and heat.
Many began to feel uneasy. Haotian the Great Emperor had made such a huge display—what was he planning to do?
Could it be that, after years of silence, Haotian the Great Emperor was finally going to attack the various Forbidden Zones?
Within the various Forbidden Zones, the Supremes awakened one after another and cautiously looked toward the place where Ying Hao was.
When they saw that Ying Hao was merely forging an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, the Supremes all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haotian the Great Emperor truly has quite the presence. Even forging an Ultimate Emperor Weapon has to cause such a huge commotion!"
"So blatant—is he trying to give us a warning?"
"With such astonishing phenomena, why do I feel that Haotian the Great Emperor has grown stronger again? That's impossible!"
Haotian the Great Emperor was openly forging an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, with Ultimate Emperor Might enveloping the entire Big Dipper Star Domain. How arrogant was that?
How could the Supremes not know that Haotian the Great Emperor had done this deliberately, clearly putting on this display for them to see?
It was both a provocation and a deterrent!
The Supremes had originally been furious. Every one of them had once been invincible beneath the heavens—who would dare act so arrogantly before them?
But they quickly fell silent, because the aura Haotian the Great Emperor was emitting at this moment was simply too terrifying!
Compared with his battle on the Immortal Ascension Path several thousand years ago, Haotian the Great Emperor had become even more unfathomable, making people instinctively fear him.
While shocked, the Supremes were also filled with questions. How had Haotian the Great Emperor's strength advanced so quickly?
He had clearly forced his way into the Dao and stood at the pinnacle of the world. What exactly did one have to do to continue advancing?
This was a question every Supreme had faced before. They had failed to do it, but Haotian the Great Emperor had succeeded!
Could it be that Haotian the Great Emperor had truly obtained the secret of Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's slaughter of immortals, allowing him to advance even further?
"Could another Emperor Lord appear?"
The same unrivaled might, the same strength that made people tremble, the same shattering of convention and accomplishment of what ordinary people could not.
The current Haotian the Great Emperor inevitably reminded them of Emperor Lord!
Faced with such a formidable enemy, they felt not only apprehension but also tremendous pressure.
"Even Emperor Lord was defeated. What can he do?"
As powerful as Emperor Lord had been, he was already yesterday's flower. How could Haotian the Great Emperor possibly be an exception?
That was what they said, but as they watched Haotian the Great Emperor forge the Ultimate Emperor Weapon, the Supremes' moods still grew increasingly heavy.
One rare weapon-forging material after another was placed into the furnace, fusing together within the True Sun Fire.
The longer they watched, the more puzzled the Supremes became. Was Haotian the Great Emperor really forging an Ultimate Emperor Weapon?
It was no wonder the Supremes were confused. There were simply too many weapon-forging materials that Ying Hao was fusing together.
When forging an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, more weapon-forging materials did not necessarily make it better. In particular, Immortal Gold was best kept pure.
For that very reason, when Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Emperors forged Ultimate Emperor Weapons, they usually chose a single type of Immortal Gold.
If multiple types of Immortal Gold were mixed together, they would interfere with one another, making it difficult for the Ultimate Emperor Weapon to take shape. It would be harmful rather than beneficial.
Yet Ying Hao ignored this completely, continuously adding several types into the fusion. He did not even leave out the Chaos Stone.
With so many supreme weapon-forging materials mixed together, it was like a hodgepodge. How could an Ultimate Emperor Weapon possibly be forged?
Such an obvious principle—Haotian the Great Emperor could not possibly fail to understand it!
That was precisely why the Supremes were confused. What exactly was Haotian the Great Emperor doing?
If he was not forging an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, could it be that Haotian the Great Emperor had another plan?
