Preaching to the World

Preaching the Dao Under Heaven Ziwei Star Region

Chen Zhao stood alone above the Star River, a drop of Chaos-colored essence blood appearing in his hand.

The essence blood was Chaos-colored, Chaos Qi coiling around its surface. Within lay the mysteries of yin and yang, while faint Imperial Dao Pressure seeped from it.

If the power contained within this drop of essence blood erupted in full, it would be enough to destroy the Star River and shatter countless stars.

"Yin and yang merge, evolving Chaos."

From this essence blood, Chen Zhao sensed a familiar aura—the aura of the Chaos Great Dao.

This drop of blood came from the Yin Human Emperor. Back then, the Yin Human Emperor had already achieved the fusion of yin and yang, only a hair's breadth away from Evolving Chaos Body.

Had the Yin Human Emperor been able to transform into a Chaos Body, living out a Fourth Life would have been effortless.

"Even in a brief revival, he treated his own remaining corpse as a contingency against future unrest."

After his revival, the Yin Human Emperor had left the Human Emperor Seal and his Remnant Body behind on Ziwei Star.

Should turmoil arise in the future, the Yin Human Emperor would be able to return and fight once more.

The Sun Saint Emperor of Later Generations had done the same. Even if all that remained was Human Skin, he would still fight for the Human Race.

His trip to the Big Dipper had yielded quite a harvest, allowing him to probe the true state of the forbidden zones.

Under such blatant provocation from him, aside from the Lord of Reincarnation, no one had dared fight him.

After that battle, Chen Zhao had gained a clear understanding of his own strength.

His combat power now far surpassed that of ordinary ancient Heavenly Lords and ancient emperors.

Killing the Lord of Reincarnation this time had merely left him tired; he had not even been injured.

Chen Zhao recalled the Yin Human Emperor's words: dealing with the Life Forbidden Zones had to be done step by step.

There were simply too many Supremes in the Life Forbidden Zones. He was only one man. Chen Zhao somewhat understood how the Void Great Emperor of Later Generations had felt.

To stand against the Life Forbidden Zones alone, without comrades-in-arms, able only to fight solitary campaigns.

"The Undying Heavenly Emperor was not on the Big Dipper. He must have hidden away to undergo Nirvana and transformation."

Besides settling karmic debts, his trip to the Big Dipper had been intended to seek traces of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

After ambushing the two extraordinary ancient emperors, the Yin and Sun Human Emperors, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had gained considerable benefits. He should still be in the midst of transformation.

Chen Zhao had originally planned to find his hiding place while he was transforming, but unexpectedly failed.

Chen Zhao had expected as much. The Undying Heavenly Emperor would not be so easy to kill.

"This time, I did collect quite a bit of immortal metal scrap."

After entering the Path to Immortality, aside from searching for the Yin Human Emperor's remnant corpse, he had found quite a few immortal metal fragments.

Those immortal metal fragments had been left behind by Forbidden Zone Supremes slain by the Yin Human Emperor long ago.

Although the Undying Heavenly Emperor had taken most of them, Chen Zhao had still found quite a number through his deliberate search.

Chen Zhao had collected these immortal metal fragments to forge the Nine Cauldrons.

After returning to Ziwei, Chen Zhao planned to forge the Ziwei Cauldron there.

As for the materials for the cauldron, they would come from the immortal metal fragments he had found on the Path to Immortality, along with the immortal metal plates left behind by the Two Human Emperors.

Over the following years, Chen Zhao remained on Ziwei Star, forging the Ziwei Cauldron and comprehending the Chaos Great Dao.

Having obtained the Yin Human Emperor's essence blood, Chen Zhao gained much inspiration from it.

Time flew by, the sun and moon raced like a shuttle.

Several thousand years had passed since the Path to Immortality last opened.

Over those thousands of years, because the Human Emperor had descended upon the Big Dipper, deterring both the major forbidden zones and those Ancient Royal Families, the circumstances of the Human Race throughout the various regions had improved considerably.

The large-scale bloody conflicts of the past had become far less frequent, though friction between races still occurred often.

Ziwei Star in particular, having produced three Human Emperors in succession, had become the ancestral court of the Human Race, where Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage and all longed to visit.

After the Human Emperor took residence on Ziwei, Ziwei Star's prosperity gradually showed signs of surpassing even the Big Dipper Star.

The Myriad Races lived there in harmony, and no unrest arose in daily life.

Yin, Sun, Heaven-Severing.

The Three Great Human Emperor Dao Lineages governed Ziwei, traveling through the many star regions on the Human Emperor's behalf to instruct the Human Race.

Over those thousands of years, the Human Emperor had once passed down a foundational scripture suited to Human Race cultivation.

It was said that this scripture contained the mysteries of the Chaos Body. Because of that rumor, it became a widely circulated scripture.

Everyone sought to comprehend the mysteries of the Chaos Body from it, hoping to replicate the Human Emperor's invincible path.

As disciples of the three great Dao lineages traveled across the universe, instructing the Human Race, temples dedicated to the Three Great Human Emperors were erected throughout the major Life Star Regions.

It was said that the construction of these temples had been ordered by the Human Emperor. No one in the entire universe dared defy the Human Emperor's decree, and before long, temples covered every corner of the universe.

Disciples of the three great Dao lineages served as Temple Keepers, singing the praises of the Three Great Human Emperors' merits and spreading the Human Emperors' great virtue.

For a time, the Human Emperor Shrine flourished with incense offerings.

Intercepting Heaven Dao

The former Saint Dao Tradition, having become the Human Emperor Dao Tradition, grew ever more prosperous.

Li Jing, the former Sect Leader of the tradition, had attained sainthood but found his cultivation difficult to advance further. He thus sealed himself within Divine Source, becoming part of the tradition's foundation.

Over these past several thousand years, talents emerged one after another from Intercepting Heaven Dao, its disciples spreading throughout the universe, as though it had returned to the glorious zenith of the Mythological Era.

According to the records of Intercepting Heaven Dao, it too had once been incomparably brilliant, a Heavenly Lord Dao Tradition.

Later, a calamity that swept across the universe caused Intercepting Heaven Dao to decline.

In the Depths of Intercepting Heaven Dao, within a certain palace, Chaos Qi pervaded the air, as though this place lay in the era before heaven and earth had been opened.

In the depths of the Chaos Qi, Chen Zhao sat cross-legged on a Prayer Mat. Chaos Qi coiled around him, while Myriad Daos accompanied him at his side, radiating an extraordinary presence.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao opened his eyes. Chaos seemed to evolve within them, revealing the scene of heaven and earth being split open before they finally returned to normal.

The surrounding Chaos Qi surged toward him, vanishing without a trace moments later.

"Barrier." Chen Zhao let out a sigh.

Over these past several thousand years, Chen Zhao had remained on Ziwei cultivating, his cultivation already reaching the limit of the human realm.

He had already sensed the barrier, this layer of restraint binding all living beings seeking to break through into the immortal dao.

If one could forcefully shatter the suppression brought by this barrier, one would become a War Immortal.

"Mortal World Immortal."

With the omniscient perspective granted by the plot, Chen Zhao differed from the Emperors and Sovereigns who had been feeling their way along the road ahead. He knew several methods of transformation.

Even if he could not transform into a Mortal World Immortal, he could still charge into the Path to Immortality and slaughter his way into the Strange World.

The Great Universe had long since lost its Longevity Substance.

Yet Longevity Substance still existed in the Strange World, enough to extend the lives of Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors.

As for places within the Great Universe where Longevity Substance still remained, there was the incomplete Immortal Domain inside the coffin of the Nine Dragons Coffin Pull.

"The Immortal Domain was shattered in the past. This was the Minor Immortal Domain left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor to repair the Immortal Domain."

Chen Zhao had once pursued the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons Coffin Pull, but unfortunately, fate had not allowed them to meet.

He did not know whether that thing was connected to the Three Heavenly Emperors and the red hair; it simply could not be found.

In the end, Chen Zhao could only give up searching for the Nine Dragons Coffin Pull.
