When the Primordial Myriad Races are born, all seven Ancient Emperor Clans will have Great Saint Ninth Heaven, plus Ancient Emperor Weapon.
Besides the essence of Immortal Fire, the resources he possessed were so vast that even Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact would be insufficient to kill a supreme Great Saint.
Because the Great Saint can easily borrow Ancient Emperor Weapon, the Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact are nothing to them. When the Great Saint reaches the pinnacle and possesses Emperor Weapon, Quasi-Emperor dare not directly confront its sharpness.
Over the past decade or so, he has had to confront the methods of the Primordial Myriad Races.
Divine Silkworm Princess may protect him, but that doesn't mean Divine Silkworm Ridge will protect him too!
Waiting for the Ancient Clans to emerge, the Great Saint will be the apparent ruler of the Big Dipper.
Thinking of this, Su Yu's consciousness began to expand. In his memory, the extreme families in " Shrouding the Heavens " basically did not have any Quasi-Emperor sealed in their ranks.
The six Ancient Emperor Clans that emerged decades later— the Divine Silkworm Ridge, the Fire Qilin Cave, the Myriad Dragon Nest, the Blood Phoenix Mountain, the Golden Clan, and the Primordial Lake —all possessed foundations at the peak of the Great Saint Ancient Emperor Clans, with no Quasi-Emperor remaining.
Becoming Quasi-Emperor is extremely difficult. Without the will to attain enlightenment, it's impossible to overcome the insurmountable barrier of the Quasi-Emperor realm. Many Great Saint follow Great Emperor, but Quasi-Emperor do not.
The most important thing on the path to Quasi-Emperor is a Dao Heart that is determined to become an Emperor. Once the Dao Heart collapses, the path to becoming an Emperor ends.
The later Divine Court Emperor Lord was like this; as Almost-Enlightened One, he was frightened away by the Empress's Dao Fruit, his Dao heart was clouded, and he ultimately met a tragic end.
Most of the Quasi-Emperor in the major extreme forces who proclaimed themselves emperors in later generations did so to strive for Lifetime on the path to becoming an emperor, rather than to protect their families.
This Lifetime is extraordinary, foreseen by all the Supreme, who sealed their own children for this life. Under such circumstances, it is natural that no ancient Quasi-Emperor would appear in this Lifetime.
In addition, over the past 100,000 years, only Wu Shi and Wan Qing have achieved the ultimate path. Both of them wanted to become immortals. One had no relatives, and the other did not leave behind any Emperor Weapon. There were no Quasi-Emperor left in his relatives.
This is why only the Great Saint at the pinnacle survived in this Lifetime; the Great Saint at the pinnacle possessed an Emperor-level artifact, enough to protect the ultimate power.
Once the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon awakens on its own, its immense power will absolutely overwhelm everything, Quasi-Emperor will be unable to withstand it.
Throughout millions of years, how many people, like Wu Shi, have been able to withstand the Emperor Weapon before even attaining enlightenment?
This is why the Imperial Clan cannot be insulted. Unless one becomes an emperor, even Quasi-Emperor must respect the supreme power. You have no idea what their ancestors left behind.
The saying "Emperors are invincible" refers to the fact that emperors possess an invincible Dao heart. When they attain enlightenment, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, except for forbidden zones, prostrate themselves at their feet.
For one's own clan, leaving behind a supreme divine weapon is sufficient. Leaving too many divine treasures for future generations may not be a good thing, as these artifacts could bring disaster and ultimately lead to the extinction of the clan.
Because future generations will attain enlightenment, facing a flawless Great Emperor, no matter what contingency plans you leave behind, they will be meaningless.
After the Ascension Feathered Great Emperor "transformed into the Dao," the Feathered Divine Dynasty retained a complete Emperor Formation, as well as the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon left behind by the Feathered Great Emperor. The Divine Dynasty also had several Quasi-Emperor.
They also wanted to continue the glory of the divine dynasty and continue to command the world.
They even wanted to collect all the immortal artifacts— the Source Cauldron of All Things —and gather special physiques on countless Life planets. They seemed to be incredibly glorious, at the height of their power, with no signs of decline.
Afterwards, Ruthless One rose to power and directly and forcefully destroyed the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Neither the complete Emperor Formation nor the fully revived Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon could stop her advance.
If it's about pursuing the path to the throne, that's fine. However, if it's not about grudges over the path to the throne, especially if it's about the Feathered Divine Dynasty's tyranny over the world, then it will inevitably be a life-or-death struggle, and the extermination of the clan is an inevitable outcome.
There is no Eternal power in the world, and emperors naturally understand this principle.
Emperor Hengyu, for example, is a self-serving figure who colluded with the Human Desire Dao and incurred many emotional debts.
In the end, they actually founded two supreme lineages and forged two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Hengyu Furnace and the Ancient Hua Ruler, which was simply unheard of, unprecedented and unparalleled.
During the era of Shrouding the Heavens, many supreme beings forged multiple Emperor Weapon.
The Ancient Emperor of Blood Phoenix Mountain fused his primordial spirit with his natal imperial weapon, and also forged another Ancient Emperor Weapon for his relatives; the Light-Dark Supreme possessed Light Staff and Dark Shield, and the Ruthless One also forged the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar and the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron...
However, Emperor Hengyu was indeed the first to create two extremely powerful families.
Such behavior is absolutely a result of internal strife within the harem, and was therefore forced to act.
Su Yu's thoughts wandered, and finally he thought of the Goddess Furnace.
This is absolutely a divine object, especially the Goddess Furnace, which has a special effect: no matter how cold a goddess is, she will melt upon entering this furnace...
"This item is destined for me; it must not fall into the hands of others," Su Yu muttered to himself. This was absolutely the most suitable divine object for him.
With the Lihuo Divine Furnace in hand, and being a descendant of Hengyu, it's perfectly normal for him to reclaim his ancestral treasure.
The Devouring Heaven Demon Lid brightly as he appeared in a massive dojo. Su Yu gazed thoughtfully at the remaining runes of the teleportation array.
During this period, he used the Ji Family's teleportation Domain Gate twice, but those Domain Gate required a large amount of Pure Source to activate. However, the dojo beneath his feet condensed the power of heaven and earth, with mountains, rivers, sun, and stars as its foundation, and could automatically activate spatial divine patterns without the need for source energy activation.
Chapter 114 A New Look for the Garden
This Chaos Small World belongs to the Central Region of the Eastern Wasteland, as for the Ruthless One's tomb...
According to the original novel, Duan De unearthed the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid in the Cloudbreak Mountains, which is located in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland and is near the Yaoguang Holy Land.
It seems there are other passages in that tomb.
The complete Ruthless One's Array Pattern. In the original Duan De said that he lost nine lives to dig out the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, which is no exaggeration. Under such circumstances, only he, as the reincarnation of a Heavenly Venerable, could have survived.
His predecessor and his father, who entered with the token, were all randomly annihilated by the array patterns, their bodies lying neatly arranged...
As the Void shattered, Su Yu appeared at the foot of a divine mountain, with three stone tablets in front of him.
Standing before the grave, Su Yu gazed at a weathered tombstone and finally whispered, "I accept the karma of this lineage!"
He then cut off a piece of rock, forged it into a stone coffin, placed a small, crystal-clear pagoda inside, and built another tomb next to the three graves.
This was the original owner's natal divine weapon. Su Yu bowed deeply, then a faint light flashed around him, and he disappeared into the space.
He received everything from the other party: a broken Saint Weapon, a flawless Great Saint artifact, two Emperor Scripture, and even the remains of his son. He received their favor and resolved their karma.
After doing this, Su Yu felt much more enlightened, and his understanding of the myriad principles of heaven and earth improved significantly. The Buddhist concept of the emptiness of the four elements seemed to have some merit; resolving karmic debts was indeed beneficial for cultivating one's mental state.
In a valley within the Chaos Small World, ethereal Chaos mist swirled around the mountains, streams gurgled, and Life essence was incredibly abundant. There were even some plants and trees around, lush and verdant, exuding vibrant vitality. As the eternally indestructible sword energy disappeared, vegetation reappeared in the Chaos Small World.
Su Yu looked at the tender green grass under his feet, chuckled, and stepped directly into the Chaos mist along the path.
Soon, the world here changed completely. The concentration of spiritual energy here was much higher than outside. The outer part of this area was covered with various tree species, including pine trees, maple trees, Purple Bamboo Forest, and red vines.
Su Yu admired the plants as he walked towards the Divine Pool.
This seclusion has only lasted about ten days, yet such a great change has occurred here. It seems that this Jade Lake Saintess has some talent in managing the herb garden.
As you approach the Divine Pool, the earth is teeming with life. A row of towering divine trees stands beside the stone path, their verdant trunks adorned with swaying petals that shimmer like pink diamonds, stretching as far as the eye can see.
A gentle breeze blows, and the petals flutter and dance, filling the air with their fragrance, which is refreshing and delightful. Four streams flow gently through the trees.
A goddess in white, untouched by worldly affairs, possessed an otherworldly beauty, transcending the mundane, like a pure lotus flower glistening with dew, or a pristine snow lotus on the snowy Tianshan Mountains.
Pale pink petals drifted down, fluttering around the young man, shimmering with a soft luster, exuding a rich fragrance and a vibrant Life force that enveloped him. His long, flowing black hair made him appear even more beautiful than a goddess, utterly otherworldly.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Yang Yi bowed calmly.
This Jade Lake Saintess from ten thousand years ago was like a goddess from a pure land, with an otherworldly beauty, seemingly not belonging to the mortal world, embodying both Immortal Qi and beauty.
Su Yu nodded slightly and chuckled, "Well done."
"Thank you for your praise, sir. It was nothing more than a casual act." Yang Yi maintained her aloof demeanor, her beautiful eyes fixed on the divine tree, avoiding Su Yu's gaze.
"No need to be modest, you..." Seeing Yang Yi's attitude, Su Yu stopped talking and walked towards the Divine Pool without saying anything more.
Yang Yi, dressed in a white gown, followed slowly behind him, like a secluded orchid in a valley, ethereal and otherworldly, possessing a serene beauty that blended Perfect World with the surrounding stunning natural scenery. She seemed to be a part of the beauty of heaven and earth, a fairy untouched by worldly concerns.
Within the Divine Pool Formation, the Qilin Divine Medicine Seed has sprouted roots, reaching the size of a fist, and grown a pair of Yezi. The leaves are entirely purple, shimmering with rosy light, crystal clear, and as tall as a palm.
The entire divine pool was permeated by deep purple light, filled with purple mist. The Qilin Seed was transforming into roots and even sprouting purple leaves. This Divine Medicine was named after the Qilin, and the fruit it would bear in the future would be shaped like Qilin, with Qilin patterns also appearing on the bright purple leaves, making it mysterious and unpredictable.
The other Humanoid Divine Medicine in the divine pool was no different from the last one. Its pale blue, human-foot-shaped roots shimmered with a faint divine light, and a tender white bud sprouted from the roots, breathing in the essence of the divine pool and the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers.
The leaves of the Qilin swayed in the divine liquid, and a delicate fragrance wafted out, accompanied by auspicious colors and celestial mist, and divine light that obscured the sun.
The aura of this sacred pool grew ever more divine, with a rich, ethereal Immortal Qi permeating the entire valley and transforming into a tide of spiritual energy that nourished the surrounding vegetation.
The Divine Spring gurgled, its liquid crystal clear, steaming and radiating Immortal Radiance glow. Yang Yi took out a jade pot from the Silver Moon Jade Pagoda beside the divine pool, then activated her divine power to pour the Divine Spring from the jade pot onto the Qilin Divine Medicine and the Humanoid Divine Medicine.
With each bow and tilt of her head, her ethereal beauty is captivating, her graceful figure outlining a Perfect World curve.
Su Yu gazed silently at Yang Yi; he already knew she was still a virgin...
The goddess holding the pot on the divine pool also felt Su Yu's gaze. With her back to Su Yu, she closed her beautiful eyes slightly, her whole heart was rippled, and her expression was complicated. After watering the Divine Medicine, she moved to the side of the divine pool.
A withered yet vigorous ancient tree is rooted in the pure soil. Most of the branches of the Bodhi Tree are extremely dry, and many broken branches have even fallen off. However, new buds are sprouting from a few branches, which are lush and green, full of vitality.
"It seems the time was too short; nothing has changed," Su Yu thought.
However, the situation of the Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine brought him some joy. This Divine Medicine was regenerating its roots. He had originally thought that this Divine Medicine would be the most difficult to revive, but it seemed that he had worried too much.
The Immortal Divine Medicine possesses the property of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm; if it grows naturally, it can exist Eternal.
This Divine Medicine has existed for tens of millions of years, from the Chaotic Ancient Era times to the present, and its roots and stems still remain, retaining a trace of divinity. Reviving this Divine Medicine is not difficult.
After Yang Yi finished tending to the Bodhi Tree, she stood behind Su Yu again.
"What do you want?" Su Yu turned around, looked at Yang Yi was looking down, and said calmly.
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Yang Yi's body trembled slightly, then she shook her head and calmly said, "To witness the rebirth of the Immortal Divine Medicine is already an unparalleled opportunity; how could I dare to ask for anything more?"
Su Yu nodded and disappeared into the Chaos mist, leaving only the woman in white standing alone in this pure land.
Looking at this world and feeling the Emperor Qi Thought Restriction within the Immortal Platform, Yang Yi revealed a bitter smile on her beautiful face. As a successor of Ruthless One, it was understandable that the other party would do such a thing.
Moreover, Su Yu had already done her a great favor by saving her life, and he also entrusted her with guarding the Divine Medicine Garden.
Chapter 115 The Ji Family's Courtesy
But if the other party wanted her, she vowed to never submit!
Su Yu couldn't know Yang Yi's thoughts, but he could guess a thing or two: she was deeply in love with Zhang Lin, even willing to commit suicide for Zhang Lin...
He understood all of this, but the Sacred Fruit couldn't be produced for nothing, and he certainly couldn't let people go. Fortunately, his garden was short-staffed, so he would just have to make do with hanging them like this for now.
During this period, the holy sons and daughters of the Great Saint were all in seclusion to break through the Four Extremes, so he had no way to help them.
Thinking of the holy maidens of various forces, it seems that only Zixia of the Purple Mansion Holy Land and Yi Qingwu of the Guanghan Palace have special physiques.
The former is the Innate Dao Embryo, and the latter is the Guanghan Physique.
Among them, the Purple Mansion Saintess, being Innate Dao Embryo, is naturally in harmony with the Dao and can be imprinted in the Void, unleashing the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. With this special physique, capturing her to guard the medicine garden is the most suitable thing for her.
Moreover, the Purple Mansion Holy Land is merely a holy land established by Great Saint, and the Great Dao Physique of the Innate Dao Embryo is simply wasted in such a holy land.
Zixia, the Innate Dao Embryo of this generation, lacked sufficient fortune. If she had appeared in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, she would have been recruited by the Jade Lake Sacred Land and would most likely have become the Jade Lake Saintess. Unfortunately, she appeared in the Eastern Region and was taken in as a disciple by the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
In the cultivation path of the Shrouding the Heavens Realm, scriptures are the most important foundation. Without the Emperor Scripture, one is inherently inferior to top geniuses, and even the path to becoming Quasi-Emperor becomes more difficult.
In the original novel, Zixia eventually disappeared sadly into the River of Time, never reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm in her lifetime.
