Heavenly Emperor Taichu

Li Hu, the Immortal Tears Green Gold Sacred Spirit Emperor, was also revered as the Immortal Gold Emperor, or simply the Immortal Emperor.

During his reign, the entire universe was peaceful and quiet.

He advocated coexistence and shared prosperity among all races. He also taught the Human Race, passing cultivation methods to countless human prodigies.

Yet during Li Hu's reign, the Sacred Spirit Race suffered terribly.

Though Li Hu was called the Sacred Spirit Emperor, he said nothing about their plight.

Countless holy lands, great families, and Primordial Imperial Clans studied Sacred Spirits, and some even achieved real results.

They would spend their entire life beneath Li Hu's feet.

Li Hu's First Lifetime was extraordinarily long. He lived for a full twenty-five thousand years before consuming an Immortal Medicine and beginning his Second Lifetime.

Another ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Then, one day, an unfathomably mysterious ripple spread from the Undying Mountain once more.

The Myriad Dao of Heaven and Earth roared as if Heaven itself were offering congratulations.

A mysterious ripple of the Dao swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands once again.

Countless beings looked toward the starry sky, toward the Undying Mountain.

They felt that familiar ripple of the Dao once more.

It was the sign that a Perfected Sacred Spirit was about to emerge.

No one had expected
