" Tianzhi..."
Looking at his younger brother, a hint of tenderness appeared in Yin Tiande's eyes.
Because he had defeated various Sect Master and his fame had shaken the world, his younger brother, who was always arrogant and eccentric, worried him greatly.
Now that he has encountered a sudden change of fortune and his path has been fraught with difficulties, his younger brother has become more composed, which, in a sense, can be considered a blessing in disguise.
As evening clouds drifted and golden rays filled the sky, Yin Tiande calmed his mind, his primordial Divine Space. The Five Great Secret Realms emitted a grand Daoist sound as he continuously chanted scriptures.
"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name..."
As the Dao De Jing resounded, wisps of purple mist emanated from this broken mountain, vast and boundless, cleansing the world and radiating ethereal light.
"Right here lies the legacy of a peak Quasi-Emperor!"
Yin Tiande focused his mind and spirit, his forehead bone shining brightly and radiating brilliant spiritual light as he gazed at the massive mountain wall before him, his eyes filled with longing.
More than two thousand years ago, all the world Dao Yi old Daoist priest riding an ox came from the depths of the starry sky, his purple aura stretching for thirty thousand miles, and he opened up a Saint Realm.
But no one knows just how powerful that old Daoist priest really is.
Thinking of the words spoken to him by that Imperial Clan cultivator, Yin Tiande's heart surged with emotion, his eyes gleaming with intricate Dao patterns.
According to the information left by Su Yu, the Daoist Laozi riding the ox was named Laozi, and had a close relationship with the Daode Heavenly Venerable, one of the Nine Heavenly Venerable. He was a peak Quasi- Quasi-Emperor.
Once the inheritance of such a powerful master is passed on, it will definitely shake the Ziwei cultivators, awaken some of their hidden strengths, and lead to fierce battles. (Note [1])
The people of Luzhou Human Desire Dao their ancestral home.
The once mighty Path of Human Desire Dao, whose fame resounded throughout the Ziwei Star Domain, is now utterly dilapidated, with its Spirit Mountain crumbling and withered leaves lying scattered in the water—a scene of utter desolation.
Before a dilapidated cave, a handsome man stood still, his expression somber, his eyes filled with struggle, looking utterly dejected.
"You were bestowed with Emperor Scripture and divine arts; why is this so?"
On a blue stone, Xiang Yufei stood calmly, flipping through a book of crimson gold.
He looked up at Yan Yixi, shook his head, seemingly remembering his own past, and comforted her, "Young man, think more positively. Some things are unavoidable. Joining the dynasty isn't a bad thing."
"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I just..." Yan Yixi wanted to say something, but she didn't put on airs.
After spending some time with the Central Emperor, he came to understand his character and was unwilling to utter those hypocritical words.
He sighed deeply, a hint of desolation in his eyes. Runes flickered in his gaze, emitting a faint light. He thought to himself, " Li Tian, escape. And whatever you do, don't come back."
This cave dwelling can only be opened by the presence of both the successors of the Heartless Dao and the Six Desires Dao.
These Big Dipper cultivators dared not force the opening and could only wait here. As long as Li Tian did not arrive, the ancestral relic would not be revealed...
Looking at the expressionless Young Master Yixi, Xiang Yufei shook his head, a hint of emotion in his eyes.
The more you resist now, the more delicious it will be in the future.
Don't you see, Wang Teng, who used to hum and haw, has completely changed his attitude. He spends his days associating with sages and has become extremely famous Chaotic Ancient Era. Even the Star Lord Lucun values him highly.
Although his lord desired the Goddess Furnace, he was unwilling to take advantage of the Human Desire Dao and hoped to exchange it for a flawless Great Saint Weapon Goddess Furnace.
However, he didn't mention this. He used the principle of first suppressing and then elevating the situation, waiting until Yan Yixi was in the most pain before taking out the Great Saint Artifact. At that time, a wondrous sight would be witnessed...
Just as the Young Master Yixi's thoughts were wavering, a man with an evil aura arrived on a cloud outside the mountain gate and entered the ancestral land of the Path of Human Desire Dao with ease.
Seeing his senior brother waiting in front of the ancestral hall, Li Tian raised an eyebrow and laughed loudly, "Senior brother, I knew you would come."
Yan Yixi lowered her gaze, sighed, and knew that the matter was beyond her control; the loss of the Ancestral Artifact was a foregone conclusion.
"The Ziwei region has undergone a great change. The group from Big Dipper is far too powerful; they even leveled the Dustless Forbidden Zone. A great era is about to begin, and we must bring out the Goddess Furnace. Otherwise, we will find it difficult to survive." Li Tian became unusually serious and spoke solemnly.
What puzzled him, however, was that his senior brother kept his back to him, as if he had something he couldn't say.
"Both the successors of the Six Desires and the Heartless Successor have arrived; it seems the Goddess Furnace is destined to be born today."
Suddenly, a tall and imposing figure emerged. The Central Emperor's black hair was loose, and he was surrounded by Order Divine Chains. His aura was as deep as the ocean, and his eyes held the Lunhui of stars, which was incredibly profound.
"Who are you..."
Li Tian suddenly paled, his divine power surging as he tried to escape on a cloud.
However, a Shrouding the Heavens hand that blotted out the sky appeared, Xiang Yufei smiled faintly, instantly suppressing him. He said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, please wait. I am a hospitable person; please come over!"
Finally, after a series of arduous events, a bruised and battered Li Tian reluctantly stood with Yan Yixi, took out the Six Desires Dao token, and together they opened the Ancestral Hall.
Despite being called an ancestral hall, it was nothing more than a dilapidated house, covered in dust and cobwebs, and looked very old.
The two successors of the Human Desire Dao took action and dug out an ancient furnace that had been buried by incense ash for who knows how many years.
It resembles a reclining goddess, marked by the passage of time. It was carved from a piece of divine bronze and then forged through various processes.
"Indeed, it was made by Emperor Hengyu. He retrieved the ancestral artifact for Palace Mistress Zili, and she owes me a favor..."
Xiang Yufei had obtained a portion of the " Hengyu Scripture," and now, with a slight activation, the once lifeless ancient furnace suddenly emitted a burst of light.
"You..." Yan Yixi and Li Tian were both startled.
"That palace master possesses the Taiyin Immortal Physique; you should have seen her before. She carries the imperial blood of Emperor Hengyu and is a descendant of the Jiang Family." Xiang Yufei raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yan Yixi meaningfully.
The man in the moon-white robe said in a deep voice, "Senior, you are wise. This Saint Weapon was forged by Emperor Hengyu for our ancestor, and it does not belong to the Jiang Clan."
"I know."
To their surprise, Xiang Yufei readily admitted to the matter, saying with a faint smile, "You should tell this to the descendants of the Jiang Family. If they want to reclaim their ancestral relics, there's nothing I can do."
"Senior, even Imperial Clan cannot seize things by force like this. The friendship between our ancestor and Emperor Hengyu will last forever, and this item is proof of that. Now that the descendants are fighting over it, I wonder what our ancestors would think if they knew..." Yan Yixi argued vehemently, her eyes red and filled with reluctance.
Li Tian, whose aura was also weakening, also showed a hopeful look, hoping to persuade this great cultivator.
"Alas, though I sympathize with you, I am powerless to defy the Emperor's decree."
Xiang Yufei sighed, causing the two disciples of the Human Desire Dao to instantly dim their spirits, their eyes filled with disappointment.
Although Yan Yixi has only been under the tutelage of this great cultivator for a short time, he deeply respects him and is willing to follow him. Even the Central Emperor is powerless to change this, and it seems that this matter is already a foregone conclusion.
[1]: In the original work, the Ziwei cultivators did not know Laozi's name or his cultivation level. When the Taiqing Sacred Realm was born, it only attracted a group of Holy Lord to fight. In the end, Yin Tiande killed eight directions and became famous throughout the world, and entered the Eight Sceneries Palace.
This book does not deviate from the original plot!
Chapter 438 Embracing Two Beauties in Ziwei
At this moment, the desolate mountains are quiet and secluded, the autumn waters are chaotic and turbulent, and stars gradually emerge in the dark blue sky, sprinkling a pillow of dawn light.
All was silent; a crescent moon was reflected in the spring.
On the ancient stone wall of the ancestral site of the Human Desire Dao, some mottled marks appeared, shimmering with a faint light.
Xiang Yufei's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of understanding. He smiled faintly, and with a flick of his sleeve embroidered with a golden dragon, countless runes flowed, and a wisp of immortal light flew out.
The Taichu light descended upon the night sky, and a magnificent star floated and sank, surrounded by Chaos light, displaying a myriad of phenomena. Countless chains of order outlined a halo of stars, radiating a dense holy pressure that shook the Jiuyou and Ten Palaces.
"This is..."
Yan Yixi's heart skipped a beat, a sharp glint appeared in her eyes, and her thoughts surged.
The Goddess Furnace in Li Tian's hand was also awakened by this Taichu Laws, and the runes on the bronze furnace steamed and shone brightly.
This Ancient Saint weapon is not large, only about the size of a fist, and resembles a goddess lying down. At this moment, it bursts out with wisps of divine light and bursts forth with five-colored radiance, revealing its extraordinary nature, even more dazzling than the Taichu stars in the night sky.
"The same aura... this is also a Inherited Saint Weapon."
Li Tian looked up at the stars in surprise, then glanced at his senior brother beside him, his expression complicated, as if he had also thought of something.
"Yi Xi, you do indeed have a very perceptive mind, just as those female cultivators said. Trying to guess what others are thinking is not a good thing." The Central Emperor stood calmly under the moonlight, his eyes filled with Dao patterns, like a deep starry sky.
"Your subordinate has lost control; I beg Your Highness to punish me!"
The man in the white robe bowed, his heart churning with emotion. His previously furrowed brows, which had been furrowed with resentment, relaxed, revealing a refined and otherworldly air.
The starlight, like a dream, carries a faint fragrance, blowing down a tree full of yellow leaves.
Xiang Yufei's lips curled slightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, dragon energy roared, and tens of thousands of azure-gold patterns burst forth, enveloping the Taichu star.
"Buzz!"
With a soft sound, the halo tore apart, the giant star shattered, and a deep purple light shot out, incomparably beautiful. A crystal-clear silver furnace broke through the air and landed in his hand.
This incense burner is similar in size to the Goddess Furnace, and is inlaid with nine stars on top, extremely dazzling, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.
Upon seeing this extraordinary treasure, both Yan Yixi and Li Tian lost their composure. Li Tian's eyes gleamed, and his initial disappointment dissipated considerably.
The situation is now clear: the loss of the Ancestral Artifact is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. If one of the Ancient Saint weapons could be returned, it would truly be a stroke of good fortune.
His senior brother, however, was more worried. Although he was grateful for the Central Emperor's generous treatment, he was also reluctant to part with the Ancestral Artifact, his expression extremely complicated...
"Interesting!"
Looking at the different expressions of the fellow disciples of the Human Desire Dao, the Central Emperor chuckled, finding it somewhat interesting.
With a single finger, he activated the Star Furnace, unleashing the immense divine power of Third Heaven of Severing the Dao.
At that moment, the silver divine furnace trembled slightly, instantly unleashing an overwhelming aura of Saint that froze the Void within a radius of 100,000 miles.
At this moment, the originally dark blue night sky rotated, silver clouds filled the sky, the night clouds shattered and collapsed, turning into wisps of mist that swirled down, creating an indistinct haze.
One after another, silver runes leaped out, carrying an aura of creation, outlining a powerful phantom of a god or demon, sweeping across the Human World, shaking the Ancient Domain, and sending chills down one's spine.
Yan Yixi and Li Tian were almost forced to kneel down, unable to withstand the immense pressure. They were utterly shocked, as this was the first time they had ever witnessed a fully revived Great Saint Weapon.
After showcasing his work, the Central Emperor withdrew his divine power with a reserved air and said calmly, "This furnace was forged from Thousand Illusion Star River Divine Sand and Star Essence, reaching the Great Saint level, and was crafted by a great divine being."
His voice was calm, yet it resonated in their hearts, like a divine chant, touching their souls and providing a unique spiritual cleansing...
In the end, both host and guest were pleased. Li Tian voluntarily offered the Goddess Furnace, willing to become a disciple of the Central Emperor, serving as a lowly soldier, a vanguard for the king, sweeping across a region, and serving the great cause of unifying Ziwei...
Stroking the bronze furnace, carefully sensing the Six Desires Dao within it, Xiang Yufei shook his head, his expression enigmatic.
Having obtained this item, he had achieved his goal.
However, he was somewhat puzzled by Su Yu's obsession with the Goddess Furnace.
Although this item was created by Ancient Great Emperor, it is ultimately a Saint Weapon and has not been imbued with Ultimate Dao Laws, so there is no need for such a great deal of effort.
He even had Tuoyu Yuansheng make a move, using the Thousand Illusion Star River Divine Sand to forge a Great Saint artifact for use in the exchange.
In a flash, Xiang Yufei's gaze shifted, thinking of the beautiful women beside Su Yu, coupled with the glorious deeds of the abandoned disciple of the Human Desire Dao...
I can't think about it anymore, or it will get bad!
The Central Emperor sighed softly, his interest in the ancient artifact waning. He tucked it into his sleeve, then glanced at Yan Yixi and calmly said, "In a few days, the two of you will have a great opportunity!"
