However, since this was only the First Layer, the inheritance was limited to the Human Dao Domain!
Obtaining any inheritance would have been enough to excite him. To him, it was an opportunity to defy fate and change his destiny!
Yet at this very moment, he was still this thrilled!
This was Emperor Wushi! The peerlessly invincible Emperor Wushi!
The words, "Who stands at the peak at the end of the Immortal Path? At the sight of Wushi, the Dao becomes empty," said it all!
He had swept through the ages alone, suppressed the Dark Forbidden Zones of his era, ravaged the six directions and eight desolations, and reigned supreme above and below heaven!
Looking over Emperor Wushi's life, it could only be described with the two words: invincible.
He was a Human Emperor so powerful that others could only look up at him!
And now, Emperor Wushi's inheritance lay before him. How could his heart not stir?
Countless streams of information flooded into his mind. They were supreme cultivation techniques and innumerable secret arts.
The cultivation method of the Five Great Secret Realms of the Human Body had been created by Emperor Huangtian, with its prototype being "Body as Seed."
The cultivation method of the human body's secret realms treated one's body as a small world, excavating one's own potential and opening one's own "doors."
One cultivated by uncovering one's own potential, becoming a world unto oneself without relying on the world beyond one's body.
Once cultivation reached fruition, one could stand shoulder to shoulder with the great universe or even surpass it, no longer tolerated by the Heavenly Dao Rules of the external world.
This was a cultivation method completely different from that of the Investiture of the Gods World. It did not seek the external world, but cultivated only oneself, representing limitless possibilities.
The Five Great Secret Realms of the Human Body were the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, Dao Palace Secret Realm, Four Extremes Secret Realm, Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and Immortal Platform Secret Realm.
What Zi Shou had obtained was precisely Emperor Wushi's complete inheritance.
The inheritance not only contained cultivation methods for the Five Great Secret Realms, but also many secret arts created by Emperor Wushi.
Zi Shou slowly opened his eyes. He had already absorbed all the information in his mind.
If he wished, he could begin cultivating right now, but he was in no hurry.
Having reached the First Layer of the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors, he had effectively gained the Hall of Heroes' recognition.
The previous feeling of seeing flowers through mist had changed. He now possessed quite a bit of understanding regarding the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors.
According to the information he had received, the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors had nine levels. On every level, he could obtain an inheritance from a Human Emperor.
There were so many Human Emperors throughout All Heavens and Myriad Realms, yet the inheritances he could obtain were all the ones most suitable for him.
On this First Layer, he had obtained Emperor Wushi's inheritance, representing the pinnacle of the Human Dao Domain.
Besides that, there was something else immensely important within the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors: the Luck Torch!
At the very center of the First Layer of the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors stood a pillar, with a torch atop it.
Fortune was like fire. The stronger one's fortune, the more fiercely the fire burned, and vice versa!
At this moment, calling it a Luck Torch would have been less fitting than calling it a flickering flame.
Without question, this Luck Torch was tied to his own fortune.
For disrespecting Goddess Nüwa, the Holy Mother of Humanity, and being abandoned by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, his fortune had long since declined.
Even though he had killed two treacherous ministers today, it was merely a drop in the bucket and could not restore his fortune.
The Luck Torch was not only closely connected to his own fortune; it also possessed two major effects.
The first effect was that the more fiercely the Luck Torch burned, the faster he could cultivate.
There was nothing surprising about that. Some Children of Fortune were favored by heaven and could break through realm after realm in a short time, ascending to the peak.
The second effect was that whenever the Luck Torch grew to a certain extent, he could randomly obtain one Myriad Heavens Treasure.
Myriad Heavens Treasures came in countless varieties. They could be peerless Artifacts, or heavenly treasures capable of letting someone ascend to heaven in a single step.
And now, because he had ignited the Luck Torch for the first time, he had one chance to obtain a Myriad Heavens Treasure.
Without any unnecessary flourish, he willed it, and a flash of light passed before a tree appeared in front of him.
It truly was a tree! A Bodhi Tree! Yet it was the Undying Godly Medicine Bodhi Ancient Tree!
Not to mention that an Undying Godly Medicine could itself extend a Great Emperor's life by another lifetime, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's own effects were similarly heaven-defying.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree symbolized wisdom. Beneath it, one could not only increase one's wisdom but also gain assistance in comprehending the Dao.
Amitabha Emperor had once comprehended the Dao beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree, while Emperor Ye had created the Emperor's Fist beneath it as well.
If he cultivated beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he would naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.
With everything prepared, he no longer hesitated. He sat cross-legged beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree and began cultivating for the first time.
Cultivation began with the Wheel of Life. Sensing the Wheel of Life and opening the Sea of Bitterness was the first step of cultivation.
The moment he truly began cultivating, he immediately sensed the difference.
All at once, the contents of the Sea of Wheels Volume of the Wushi Scripture surfaced in his mind, and layer after layer of insight rose within his heart.
Everything seemed to become instinctive. He sensed the Wheel of Life and opened the Sea of Bitterness.
After that came opening the Life Spring, erecting the Divine Bridge, and reaching the Other Shore. These were the four stages of cultivating the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm.
Who knew how much time had passed? Suddenly, his Sea of Bitterness began to rumble, and a phenomenon appeared.
Light blazed brilliantly within his Sea of Bitterness, erupting with sounds like crashing tsunamis.
Ten thousand rays of divine light shone brilliantly like rainbows. Golden waves surged, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rolling thunder as the waves rose into the sky!
The sea roared to the heavens like thunder, with countless towering waves as the Sea of Bitterness transformed into a golden ocean!
This was only the beginning. As the Golden Sea of Bitterness gradually calmed, another phenomenon emerged.
Sea and sky became one. The azure waters of the heavens resembled a bright mirror, while stalk after stalk of Golden Lotus rose from the sea. Dewdrops clung to the lotus leaves, brimming with life and dazzlingly radiant.
A gentle breeze swept past, rippling the blue sea as Golden Lotuses bloomed one after another. The dense vitality made it seem as though one had arrived at the primordial age when heaven and earth had first opened, with a hazy aura of Chaos lingering everywhere.
"Golden Sea of Bitterness, Sea of Bitterness Growing Golden Lotuses—I actually cultivated two great phenomena!"
Phenomena were not something anyone could possess simply by wishing for them. Usually, only those with special physiques and extraordinary talent could cultivate them.
Moreover, he quickly discovered that although he felt as if he had cultivated for a very long time, only one day had actually passed.
In one day, he had not only cultivated the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm to Great Perfection, but also formed two great phenomena?
Could it be that he possessed some supreme physique? Or was he simply a peerless genius, which was why he could accomplish this?
But on further thought, he was the current Human Sovereign of the Human Race and a descendant of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
He was not only a direct descendant of Human Sovereign Xuanyuan Huangdi, but also a direct descendant of Emperor Ku.
What was meant by being of pure and noble lineage? What was meant by being born into imperial blood?
This was it!
One had to know that in the Investiture of the Gods World, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were currently in Fire Cloud Cave, suppressing the Human Race's Fortune.
Though not saints, they could rival saints. Calling them half-saints would not be an exaggeration in the slightest.
As a direct descendant of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, being born with a powerful bloodline did not seem strange at all.
Furthermore, he had just cultivated beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree, where cultivation yielded twice the result with half the effort.
More importantly, the Wushi Scripture could only be cultivated by the Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus.
The fact that he could obtain Emperor Wushi's inheritance already explained many things.
I nearly forgot—this is the Investiture of the Gods World!
In the Investiture of the Gods World, cultivating quickly was nothing strange, especially for those protagonists favored by fortune.
Take Yang Jian, for example. He had cultivated for only ten or twenty years, yet his cultivation was far higher than that of many seniors who had cultivated for countless years.
Then there was Nezha. Not long after his birth, he could soar through the skies and dive into the seas, skinning and tearing the tendons from the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon King.
As the current Human Sovereign of the Human Race, a direct descendant of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and aided by the inheritances of Human Emperors—
Reaching Great Perfection in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm and cultivating two great phenomena in one day did not seem all that exaggerated.
Fortune is the key. To open the door to the Second Layer, I will likewise need more fortune! Zi Shou thought to himself.
Everything within the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors was closely related to fortune. The stronger his own fortune became, the more powerful the inheritances he could obtain.
He had only opened the First Layer of the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors, yet he had already obtained Emperor Wushi's inheritance.
Once he opened the Second Layer, what kind of inheritance would he obtain?
And the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors had nine levels!
There were also the Myriad Heavens Treasures. The Undying Godly Medicine Bodhi Ancient Tree already possessed endless wondrous uses, so what about the other Myriad Heavens Treasures?
With the Hall of Heroes of the Human Emperors, I may not be unable to reverse my fate!
To him, this was hope!
And if he wished to reverse his own fate, fortune was undoubtedly the most important thing.
Since all the gods and Buddhas had already decided his fate, he had nothing left to fear.
