The Human King Body is indeed extraordinary, with an extremely powerful origin, no less than the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. His Chaos True Body took a considerable amount of time to devour the Human King.
Moreover, this physique will shine with a light that illuminates eternity in the future; the physique of the protagonist in the final installment of the Coffin Trilogy is the Human King Body.
When Su Yu transmigrated, " The Sacred Ruins " was not yet finished.
At that time, the Immortal Emperor Chen Dong was in his later years and his body was covered with five-colored hair. His updates were intermittent, and " The Sacred Ruins " became "weak and ineffective," causing countless readers to cry out in alarm and turn pale at the mention of "red hair" or "green hair."
For these reasons, Su Yu did not embark on the third step and was unfamiliar with " The Sacred Ruins ".
However, he had heard of the " Heavenly Emperor of the Jar" meme before, and knew that Chu Feng possessed the Human King Body.
And there's that ballad that echoes throughout the heavens: At the end of the Immortal Road, who stands atop the peak? Wu Shi, decaying corpse accompanies a broken bell...
The trio who shone brightly throughout the heavens in the era of "Shrouding the Heavens " were driven to a dead end in the era of "The Sacred Ruins," with one dying, one falling into a coma, and one fleeing far away.
It was through this ballad that Su Yu learned about the dark forces such as the Soul River, the Ancient Underworld, the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit, and the Four Extremes Floating Soil.
However, Su Yu's understanding of " The Sacred Ruins " stopped there, and he was unaware of the subsequent events.
Even if he knew, it wouldn't be of much use. At this moment, he was in the era of "Shrouding the Heavens the Sky," and only respected the present. The past and the future were like fleeting clouds in his eyes, and he didn't care about them.
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Su Yu moved his divine sense slightly and asked, "Elder Gai, how many Great Saint are there in the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain?"
The sick old man glanced at the young man, his gaze profound, like an endless galaxy. With each blink of his eyes, Taichu light emanated, instantly annihilating a section of the starry sky.
The latter had clear eyes, looking directly at the Quasi-Emperor with a calm expression.
After a moment of silence, Gai Jiuyou revealed the truth. "Not counting those who have concealed their true strength, there are five Great Saint in this world."
"There is also one in the Tuoyu Eastern Sea, the North Sea Kun Peng, and the Southern Sea, Dustless Sea Spirit. The latter is a sea area that has developed self-awareness and is comparable to the Great Saint. There is also a tree demon in the Southern Jambudvipa. All of these people have very long lifespans and should still be alive now."
"Actually, there was one in the Eastern Divine Continent as well, but he only had a lifespan of a little over ten years. Without the Immortal Medicine, he probably wouldn't have survived for more than a thousand years."
When Gai Jiuyou went to the Ziwei Star Domain, his blood energy had not yet been exhausted. Under the divine sense of Quasi-Emperor, no cultivator in the entire Ziwei Ancient Star could be hidden from him.
However, even a supreme Quasi-Emperor has his moments of despair. He spent hundreds of years on Ziwei Star, traversing the four continents and four seas, yet still failed to find the legendary Fusang Immortal Tree...
Upon hearing these secrets, Daoist Qingxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed inwardly. In the whole world, only this great cultivator Undying nine thousand years knew so much ancient history.
"Five Great Saint! Ziwei truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient imperial star, having produced the Life Source Land of three Extreme Dao Supreme. It is indeed a place where dragons and tigers reside."
Su Yu opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming. His sword energy surged, slicing through the nearby Void. Strands of Taisu light flew out, condensing into crystalline lotus flowers of Dao energy, scattering around him, exuding a profound Daoist charm.
He was not surprised by the news. In fact, among all the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only the Big Dipper Ancient Star, Earth Star, and Ziwei Ancient Star Domain were most severely affected by the Dharma Ending- ending Age. Other Life Source Land were not subject to the constraints of heaven and earth.
During this period, the Divine Court Emperor Lord should have reached the advanced Quasi-Emperor level, or even be on the Almost-Enlightened One. This Quasi-Emperor was not someone who self-proclaimed himself in ancient times, but rather someone who exists in this world.
Other ancient stars, such as Yuansheng Ancient Star, Gou Chen Emperor Star, Light Ancient Star, Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star, Fire Mulberry Star, etc., all have multiple Great Saint.
"Although Ziwei Star doesn't have Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, it does have a few Quasi-Emperor Artifact." Gai Jiuyou gave Su Yu a meaningful look, then said seriously, " Great Saint wielding Quasi-Emperor Weapon can suppress and kill the Severing the Dao within Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. While Emperor Artifacts are invincible, they are limited by their Weapon Master. Your Majesty should still be careful."
"Thank you for informing me, senior." Su Yu nodded slightly, his expression calm.
He was well aware of the undercurrents swirling in the Ziwei Star Domain. The Eastern Sea's Tuoyu Yuansheng was on high alert, constantly making connections with the major sects of Luzhou, ready to launch a thunderous attack at any moment.
Faced with the combination of a supreme Great Saint and Quasi-Emperor Artifact, Sakyamuni's Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact was not entirely safe. After all, with the passage of time, the bronze Buddha statue was covered with cracks, and no one knew how much Buddhist power it contained, as its level fluctuated greatly.
The difference between a strike from Almost-Enlightened One and a strike from a newly ascended Quasi-Emperor is like heaven and earth!
The purpose of Sakyamuni's initial practice of crafting this forbidden artifact was likely to suppress the demons beneath the Great Thunderclap Temple, and the Eighteen Layers of Hell contained Mountain Phoenix at the Quasi-Emperor Third Heaven.
Following this line of thought, this forbidden artifact should be powerful enough to kill a low-level Quasi-Emperor.
This inference has certain flaws and its authenticity is questionable. The bronze Buddha statue must have been used, otherwise it wouldn't be in its current state...
However, even if the bronze Buddha statue didn't work, he had other options.
The Immortal Tribulation Sword left behind by the Empress was incomparably powerful. Even after more than 200,000 years, its Ultimate Dao Laws remained intact, enough to kill even a high-level Quasi-Emperor.
In the past, the Divine Silkworm Princess Half-Step Great Saint, used the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar to ascend and spent a considerable amount of time taking away that sword energy.
This process erased many of the ultimate runes, reducing the power of the sword energy. However, the imperial killing intent remained, still capable of suppressing all ages and destroying galaxies.
According to Divine Silkworm Princess's estimation, the remaining sword energy should be comparable to a full-force attack from a high-level Quasi-Emperor, enough to annihilate any being below the Sixth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
She had met a giant at the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor in ancient times. That Quasi-Emperor had challenged the Fighting Saint Emperor, but was subdued by the Monkey King's father with a single palm strike.
Divine Silkworm Princess witnessed everything firsthand and truly experienced the Quasi-Emperor's destructive power.
The aura emanating from the Immortal Tribulation Sword was even stronger than that of the sixth-level Quasi-Emperor, and it was definitely not Great Saint could withstand. Even a Supreme Great Saint wielding a top-grade Quasi -Quasi-Emperor Artifact would be useless, unable to withstand the attack of the sword qi.
Unless there is Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, Great Saint can revive an imperial artifact, but the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain only has one Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon - the Sun Stone Tower.
This divine tower is very special; even someone as greedy as Su Yu has never set his sights on it.
In the original timeline, after the Dark Turmoil, most of the Emperor-level artifacts in the universe were shattered. Ye Tong, Quasi-Emperor Realm Sun Body, ventured deep into the North Sea, hoping to reclaim the Sun Emperor Tower left behind by the ancient ancestor.
At that time, Ye Tong's imperial bloodline had been revived, and he also possessed the Sun Divine Body, making him absolutely comparable to Ancient Emperor. He was the closest person to the Sun Emperor Tower, yet he still failed and could not persuade the Emperor Tower to leave.
Even the direct descendants of the Human Emperor couldn't do it, so how could the Great Saint Ziwei possibly do it?
If he could do that, Su Yu would immediately unleash the Lihuo Divine Furnace and destroy everything with the essence of Immortal Fire.
Chapter 417 The Qishi Mansion Opens
The sacred river flows like silk, and the great river is like a thread. Looking down from the cloud peaks, the layers of crisp, clear mountain forests resemble pieces of sparkling green gems, lush and verdant, exuding the earth's dragon energy.
Suddenly, thick wisps of auspicious energy swept across the mountains and rivers. The green peaks were majestic, shrouded in celestial mist, soaring and flying, with rare beasts climbing the peaks. Ancient medicinal herbs took root on the steep cliffs, shimmering with light and color, Ruyu, exceptionally ethereal and magnificent.
Returning to this familiar place, Su Yu's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the area with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
When he and Yang Yi first came here, they entered the Immortal Abode Small World, dug three thousand feet into the ground, and took away all the immortal treasures and divine objects, which even triggered an extreme battle...
A thin mist swirled, and dragon energy surged forth. A golden dragon, symbolizing the nation's destiny, roared with nine serpents as it hovered above the Ancient Kingdom of Anping.
The old man was no stranger to this place. He glanced at Lu City not far away, which was the entrance to the Immortal Abode Small World. Now it had been completely developed by the Qishi Mansion and had become a pure land in the Central Province. Only the most powerful geniuses were qualified to enter.
As the oldest being in Central Province, Gai Jiuyou was well aware of the true situation of the Immortal Abode Small World.
The three Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon that once shook the Five Regions also alarmed him, but by the time he crossed the Qinling, everything was already set in stone...
In Luzhou, where the sun, Sun-Moon, mountains, and rivers change in an instant, and countless years have passed, this ancient land remains full of vitality, teeming with life and surging with dragon energy.
Unlike in the past, many young cultivators have emerged in this kingdom. The Qishi Mansion opens only once every ten thousand years, and now the time has come. Many outstanding individuals have gathered here, hoping to join this ancient hall.
Some of them come from beautiful and fertile places, while others come from poor and remote areas. Some are detached from nature, while others are unruly and rebellious. Each of them has a unique charm.
These young prodigies are not limited to holy lands and Immortal of the Foreign Realm dynasties; many supreme sects can also send their successors. Even those without a sect or faction can come here as long as they have sufficient strength.
There is only one prerequisite: one must possess the combat power of a Saint Child; everything must be decided by strength.
On the edge of Luzhou, a celestial mountain sits high in the Nine Heavens, its body entwined with a purple Big Dragon, its scales sparkling and shimmering, like the most beautiful purple diamond in the world.
Rare and precious herbs are abundant here, with auspicious energy rising, the air filled with the fragrance of orchids and magnolias, and colorful phoenixes dancing in the air. Ancient herbs of various colors sway in the mist, exuding a rich medicinal aroma that makes one feel as if they are ascending to heaven.
On the bronze dojo, nine gray-robed elders stood calmly at the mountain gate. Each of them was a cultivator who had entered the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, and the leader was a Great Power.
It is now the second day since the Qishi Mansion opened its gates. Tens of thousands of people have gathered outside the sacred mountain, all of them possessing extraordinary bearing. They are shoulder to shoulder, the place overflowing with people, all eager to make a name for themselves.
However, only seventeen young Supreme entered the mountain gate on the first day. This selection method was extremely harsh, and even some holy son-level geniuses were eliminated.
The champion of the first day was a Barbarian Clan cultivator from the Southern Ridge. His strength at the Dragon Transformation Fifth Transformation swept through everyone, and no one could stop him. He became famous throughout the world, and even the older generation was alarmed.
With this trend of setting examples, more and more young people are coming from all over the Five Regions, hoping to make a name for themselves here.
Even if one is not selected, it doesn't matter. As long as one shines with the brilliance of a saint, envoys from great religions and ancient kingdoms will come to welcome them, and the four essential elements for cultivation—wealth, companions, methods, and land—will follow...
To the east of the sky, iron cavalry stood in imposing formation, banners fluttering, and three crystal jade chariots stood suspended in the air, shimmering with rosy light and radiating countless rays of celestial brilliance, like the mounts of deities.
This is the army of the Ancient Kingdom of Anping.
The central carriage was the most extraordinary, decorated with tortoiseshell and pearls, with a frame of Immortal Platform gold from the Sendai (a type of altar). Nine dragons from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm pulled the carriage, while two Crimson Feather phoenixes circled and flew behind it. The dragons and phoenixes sang, auspicious colors swirled around, and it was elegant, noble, and otherworldly.
Two members of the royal family from the Immortal Platform Secret Realm stood to one side, their attitude extremely respectful.
This is the carriage of the King of the Anping Kingdom, who attaches great importance to this recruitment of disciples by the Qishi Mansion.
The jade carriage on the right is rather plain, made of what appears to be mottled dark bronze, with densely packed runes branded onto its frame; it doesn't look particularly impressive.
Moreover, this divine chariot is not pulled by any divine birds and floats in the sky. In fact, it is a King's chariot that has survived countless battles and is a divine object bestowed by Su Yu.
On the bronze chariot, a beautiful and ethereal woman with a gentle expression looked down at the contest of geniuses below. Beside her was a tall and slender figure, but his appearance was not visible due to the ethereal mist.
However, the two were very intimate; the latter sat down next to the former and put his arm around the black-haired goddess...
Outside the immortal mountain, a young man who Dragon Transformation Third Transformation let out a long roar, directly suppressing the prince from the Divine State Dynasty, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.
Even an elder from the Qishi Mansion nodded repeatedly, showing great optimism about this young prodigy. The King of the Anping Kingdom also took notice, another Six Prohibitions prodigy...
Watching the low-level battles below, Princess Yu Die lowered her head slightly, feeling somewhat bored, and closed her beautiful eyes.
Having witnessed the true geniuses of the imperial path, she found even the smallest struggles insignificant.
Since entering the Chaos Realm, her cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds within a few years, breaking through realms one after another. She has now reached the Seventh Transformation of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With the divine techniques bestowed upon her by that Ancient Emperor, ordinary holy sons are no match for her at all.
"This year's Qishi Mansion is rather dull; not a single true prodigy has shown up. That savage yesterday, only at the Dragon Transformation Fifth Transformation realm, actually swept everything aside—it's utterly absurd. It seems the Central Province is devoid of talent."
A cold voice came from beside Princess Yu Die, bluntly belittling the geniuses below, leaving the King of the Anping Kingdom somewhat helpless.
However, he did not speak. The other party came from Ancient Emperor Clans, held a noble status, and was backed by an ancient sage. Anping Kingdom could not afford to provoke them.
Amidst the celestial mist, Qi Huoshui's robes fluttered, his skin was fair and translucent, his waist slender, and his legs long and straight. Like a spoiled young master, he embraced Princess Yu Die, his lips slightly pouting, his eyes blazing with fire, eager to rush down and crush those so-called prodigies.
The reason she was here was somewhat complicated; Su Yu had originally not allowed her to leave the area.
However, when Yue Ling and Yu Die left, Su Yu saw the demoness standing alone by the water, looking utterly forlorn. Recalling her spoiled and adorable nature in her original timeline, his heart softened, and he still bestowed upon her the Divine Decree, allowing her and Yu Die to return to Central Province together.
Seeing her father's speechless expression, Princess Yu Die stroked her hair, smiled sweetly, and transmitted her thoughts telepathically. "Can't even stand it this much?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her jade-like arm, her slender fingers lifting the enchantress's chin in a flirtatious manner.
Qi Qi pressed her hand down impatiently and said, "Do you know about the Nine Li Dynasty?"
"So what if I know?" Princess Yu Die nodded slightly and said softly.
"Sigh, I'm feeling a little resentful."
Qi Huoshui was somewhat lost in thought, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and with a flick of her jade-like fingers, she conjured an Void Mirror. Gazing at herself in the mirror, she felt a pang of self-pity, a lingering melancholy in her eyes that she found quite captivating.
Seeing the worry in her partner's heart, Princess Yu Die smiled gently and comforted her softly, "Don't think too much about it. Perhaps His Highness will allow you to return to the Demon Emperor Hall later."
"It's different." Commandery Princess Qi rolled her eyes, stroked Princess Yu Die's skin, and snorted, "We two are different from Yue Ling. She is a princess of the Nine Li Dynasty who was married off. We... are just defeated and captured servants."
"Your Highness is not that kind of person. Have you forgotten that day?"
Princess Yu Die shook her head, disagreeing with Qi Qi's statement. If Su Yu truly regarded them as servants, why would he have left them untouched for so many years?
