"That Dark Emperor Venerable, or rather, that Dark Weird, has already possessed my body; he's far too arrogant." "Not only has he lived a sixth life, but he'll surely perform another blood sacrifice Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; he's utterly insane."
"I'm going to enter that world. I can't control what happens in this world anymore. Everything depends on the Overlord Heavenly Venerable," the Emperor Venerable said.
Xiao Ping'an hadn't expected that this Emperor Venerable would be so easy to talk to, and that his philosophy was completely different from that of the Dark Weird.
After all, in the original text, people believed that the Emperor Venerable was an extremely mad character, who went from being a revered Emperor Venerable in heaven and earth to a rat that everyone wanted to kill.
Even in the finale, he resurrected and became Mortal World Immortal, the biggest mastermind behind the scenes in the original story, much worse than the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
Because of his appearance, the Undying Heavenly Emperor was actually redeemed and turned into a tragic hero who fought against bad guys.
"Since the Immortal Medicine in human form was lost, my White Tiger Divine Medicine must have fallen into your hands as well. I'll give the White Tiger Divine Medicine to you."
"This one Crimson Wood is enough for me."
"I will take him into this Strange World," the Emperor Venerable said.
Xiao Ping'an nodded. One reason why the Emperor Venerable agreed so readily was that Xiao Ping'an's strength was currently greater than his, so he had no choice but to submit.
Another reason is to do someone a favor.
After all, he still needed Xiao Ping'an's help, hoping to break the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and rescue himself from Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Xiao Ping'an said, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
"Since you're going to the Strange World, I'll tell you some things I might have deduced."
"That Strange World was probably created by some powerful being to repair the true Immortal Domain."
"However, it contains too little Longevity Substance; it is not a true Immortal Domain."
"And for some unknown reason, even after so many tens of thousands of years, it hasn't merged into the Immortal Domain."
"Moreover, according to the Undying Heavenly Emperor who fell into this world, the Immortal Domain is now shattered and has long been destroyed; there are hardly any True Immortal left."
"You're going to that Strange World. I feel that being there might not be any worse than entering the Immortal Domain."
"There, one will have a long lifespan, and the chances of becoming an immortal will greatly increase."
The Emperor Venerable nodded and then said, "That world is full of advantages, but it has only one drawback that is somewhat unbearable: it's easy to go there, but difficult to come back."
"Yes," Xiao Ping'an said, "If it weren't for this reason, I might have gone to gain some experience as well."
"However, if you one day attain immortality in the Red Dust Immortal Ascension, you may be able to return to this world even at a great cost."
In the original text, even after the Great Emperor Wushi and the Undying Heavenly Emperor became Mortal World Immortal in that world, they did not return to fight back, which shows that the difficulty was indeed extremely high.
It's almost impossible for them to come back.
Unless he becomes Immortal King one day and has enough power to descend upon this world.
In this Strange World, there exists a small amount of Longevity Substance, which allows ancient Great Emperor Ancient Emperor to have astonishingly long lifespans, giving them more time to comprehend the Great Dao.
The chances of becoming an immortal would naturally be greater.
However, it will take longer, and even the foundation of Mortal World Immortal's Dao will be weaker than that of an immortal in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
In any case, the harsher the cultivation environment, the stronger one will often become at the same level once one advances.
After a conversation with the Emperor Venerable, Xiao Ping'an learned how the Emperor Venerable had been resurrected.
His reason for entering the Strange World was to block the entrance and lure the Dark Emperor Venerable into it, thereby killing him completely.
He wants to reclaim his body.
He had a vague feeling that if he left the Dark Emperor Venerable's body unattended, it would surely bring disaster upon himself.
Moreover, that was the physical body from which his primordial spirit was born; it absolutely could not be given up lightly.
"Then I will help you break the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and free you from its Immortal Ascension Cauldron," Xiao Ping'an said.
Rumble.
Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap resounded from the Chaos Sea at the Cosmic Frontier.
Accompanied by waves of green glow, an aura of immortality swept across the sky, and countless beams of divine light tore through the Hundun.
In the various Life Forbidden Zone, one after another, the Dark Supreme were awakened. They opened their eyes and sensed that familiar aura.
" The Immortal Ascension Cauldron?"
" Emperor Venerable?"
One terrifying gaze after another shot out from the Life Forbidden Zone, piercing through the starry sky.
They all looked towards the Chaos Sea at the Cosmic Frontier, watching the myriad green rays of light there.
Buzzing.
The sound of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron vibrating resounded throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Amidst the boundless green glow of the sunset, the ancient Immortal Ascension Cauldron floats and sinks, reflecting the figures of countless living beings, as if it were a lifelike world.
The Immortal Ascension Cauldron, a Immortal Artifact, reappeared, shaking the entire universe.
The terrifying aura emanating from it sent chills down the spines of many Saint Spirit.
Many cultivators looked in that direction. Although they couldn't see through it, they vaguely sensed that something big had happened there.
The Immortal Ascension Cauldron radiated a holy divine light, and countless Hundun surged and roared like an ocean.
The Immortal Ascension Cauldron, spanning millions of years, vanished without a trace during the great war at the end of the mythological era. Countless millennia later, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron has reappeared.
"This is the weapon used by the Emperor Venerable to prove his Dao!"
" Immortal Artifact of the Heavenly Court ".
Many of the Dark Supreme recognized the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, especially Supreme who had participated in the final battle of the mythological era, who were still shaken by its presence.
The Emperor Venerable of yesteryear was invincible, unmatched in heaven and earth; how glorious and powerful he was!
Even though he once lost by half a move to the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, he can still rule over all the heavens and myriad realms.
Back then, he attacked Mount Kunlun, wiped out the Kunlun Immortal Clan, and together with the Netherworld Venerable, refined the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains and the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. He also invited many Supreme to emerge from the world and together ascend to immortality.
The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill that remain today were basically refined by the Emperor Venerable of that time.
After the Emperor Venerable, no one has ever successfully refined the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
The Ancient Emperor attained enlightenment in later generations always spoke of the Emperor Venerable with longing.
" The Emperor Venerable of yesteryear merged with the Dark Weird, intending to sacrifice himself to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, killing all living beings in the world. After being discovered by the masses, he tried to escape in a sorry state, but was ultimately surrounded and killed by them."
" The Emperor Venerable has been missing for a million years, could he have risen from the dead today?"
The Dark Supreme, thinking of the Emperor Venerable of yesteryear, couldn't help but frown, worried that the Emperor Venerable might cause trouble again.
Many eyes turned towards that spot, scrutinizing it closely to see if the true Emperor Venerable was still alive.
Rumble.
The immortal runes on the Immortal Ascension Cauldron were so powerful that they completely obscured the prying eyes of those Dark Supreme. Everyone could only vaguely sense the astonishing fluctuations of the Great Dao there.
Inside the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, a majestic and imposing man appeared, looking exactly like the former Emperor Venerable, even sharing a similar aura.
He sat cross-legged inside the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, eliciting gasps of astonishment from the many Supreme who found it hard to believe.
So many people killed the Emperor Venerable back then, all thinking they had completely killed him.
Now that the Emperor Venerable is to reappear in the world, how exactly did he come back to life?
"This person is not the Emperor Venerable, but the weapon deity of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron!" An ancient voice resounded in everyone's hearts.
"This Immortal Ascension Cauldron is truly mysterious and powerful. As a Immortal Artifact, it is incredibly similar to its master in aura and possesses formidable strength."
"It's truly amazing that weapon deities can easily traverse millions of years without having to sever themselves."
Everyone observed carefully; even though the place was shrouded in immortal runes, it could not stop them from peeping.
After all, the Emperor Venerable of that time was incredibly famous, and there were far too many people who wanted to pay homage to him or kill him.
How did the Emperor Venerable, who had been dormant for so many years, manage to come back to life? Now that he's alive, what does he intend to do?
Just then, the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu appeared. He had refined his tortoise shell into a divine bell, which rang out with a melodious sound as it reached the location of Xiao Ping'an and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Rumble.
A terrifying roar suddenly erupted in the universe, and a Hundun cauldron appeared, passing through the sky.
A stunningly beautiful young girl emerged from the Hundun and flew towards the Cosmic Frontier.
It is the Yongsheng of the Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
The three of them appeared there to join forces and help the Emperor Venerable break the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
In truth, Xiao Ping'an only summoned the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, not the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu. However, this guy was just too enthusiastic and actually insisted on coming along. Instead of obediently sealing himself in the Immortal Source, he really couldn't be of any help here.
Besides, he was just an ordinary Supreme. Breaking the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, a Immortal Artifact, would require the help of Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
Xiao Ping'an casually tossed the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu back, letting him continue to stay in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
In this Cosmic Frontier, a Hundun suddenly erupted, igniting a Hundun inferno that scorched the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
The Emperor Venerable within the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, though majestic in appearance, remained asleep like a true weapon deity, not yet awakened.
Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable stood facing each other.
They were awestruck by the incredibly powerful aura; it was truly astonishing.
Countless stars turned to ashes the moment they touched a trace of their aura.
"This aura is truly astonishing, similar yet different. It looks like Emperor Venerable, but the aura is completely different," said the Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
"Of course," Xiao Ping'an said. " The Emperor Venerable has already merged with the weapon deity of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron for countless millennia. If he doesn't break free soon, he will truly turn into a weapon."
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
"To merge with the weapon deity? This is truly a miraculous path." The Hundun Heavenly Venerable understood instantly.
After all, Xiao Ping'an had already refined the twin sisters into weapon deities, and they were sleeping well inside, ready to be resurrected at any time.
"In that case, let's act quickly, lest things get complicated," said the Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
Chuan Ying also arrived here. He originally wanted to say this, but Hundun Heavenly Venerable spoke for him.
Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable nodded, and their bodies simultaneously radiated divine light, reaching their peak amidst the roar of the Great Dao.
Xiao Ping'an called out to the sleeping Emperor Venerable, " Emperor Venerable, wake up quickly!"
Countless great Dao orders were seen firmly trapping the Emperor Venerable within, as if trying to completely integrate him into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
The sleeping Emperor Venerable slowly opened his eyes, initially somewhat confused, but then his mind cleared.
" Overlord Heavenly Venerable, how long have I been asleep this time?"
"Two thousand years," Xiao Ping'an said.
Yes, two thousand years have passed since Chuan Ying took the initiative to go to the Underworld to find Xiao Ping'an with the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Now, the task is for Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable to join forces and break the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Chuan Ying Emperor Venerable initially had some doubts about inviting Hundun Heavenly Venerable, but since Xiao Ping'an had already patted his chest and guaranteed it, they decided to trust Xiao Ping'an this time.
Rumble.
The White Bone Saber, the Overlord Heaven Bell, the Chaos Cauldron, and the Bronze Immortal Palace all unleashed the most dazzling immortal runes.
Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable also unleashed incomparably brilliant Great Dao Laws.
Together, they attacked the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Inside the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, the Emperor Venerable also pushed his strength to its limit, intending to work together with Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable to break the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Amidst the dazzling celestial light, a crackling sound could be heard as cracks appeared one after another on the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Xiao Ping'an unleashed his full power, and the power of spacetime burst forth with its most dazzling brilliance.
With a deafening roar, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron exploded.
A dazzling light danced in the air, and the fragments transformed into countless divine rays as bright as the sun, flying in all directions.
Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable were prepared; they immediately collected all the fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
The weapon deity, identical to the Emperor Venerable, let out a series of long howls. It reached the Ultimate Sublimation, sending imprints to Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable. Then, its body began to collapse and disintegrate, and its terrifying immortal aura rapidly declined.
One after another, supreme laws of the Great Dao flew out, rushing into the depths of the universe like streaks of light.
Chuan Ying silently collected all these supreme divine laws.
The majestic and imposing Emperor Venerable shattered in the blink of an eye, transforming into a chubby little boy who looked only two or three years old, with a bewildered expression.
Just like a newborn baby, full of confusion.
The Emperor Venerable could be said to have died, or he could be said to have come back to life.
From then on, the baby was Yu Feng.
Chuan Ying immediately picked up the baby, fearing that the terrifying Dark Supreme would be watching.
Holding the bewildered infant, Chuan Ying said to Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, "Thank you, both Heavenly Venerable."
Looking at Chuan Ying's joyful face, who was like a new father, Xiao Ping'an had a very strange expression on his face.
"I never imagined that the Emperor Venerable would turn into a chubby little boy. You'd better keep a close eye on him."
Faced with Xiao Ping'an's teasing, Chuan Ying was speechless.
"As the foremost general of Heavenly Court, I will defend Heavenly Court and the Emperor Venerable with my life."
"Even though he's just a baby now, I will definitely protect him as he grows up and starts his cultivation from scratch."
Xiao Ping'an nodded, inwardly complaining to the Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
"Now that the Emperor Venerable has transcended the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, it is truly profound," Chuan Ying said. "His weapon of proof, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron..."
Seeing that Chuan Ying looked as if she was afraid the fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron would be stolen, Xiao Ping'an shook his head and casually took out the fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
The Immortal Ascension Cauldron was shattered completely. Although it still emitted nine-colored immortal light, it was utterly broken, and the Great Dao Laws on it had been almost completely lost.
Xiao Ping'an didn't say anything more. He immediately took action, and raging flames emerged from his body as he began to frantically refine the fragment.
Although the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was shattered, not a single fragment was missing, and the fragments of the Great Dao Laws within it had already been collected.
Therefore, it didn't take Xiao Ping'an much effort to help refine the Immortal Ascension Cauldron again.
Subsequently, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was refined anew, bearing countless Ultimate Dao Laws and the original immortal runes imprinted upon it, making it extremely mysterious and powerful.
Xiao Ping'an had originally intended to forge a weapon deity for him as well, but Chuan Ying refused.
He planned to give this Immortal Ascension Cauldron, which had no weapons or deities, to the Emperor Venerable as his weapon for proving his Dao.
One day in the future, I will refine it again into a true Immortal Artifact.
To ascend to immortality alongside the Emperor Venerable.
Although it lacks a weapon deity, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron is still incredibly powerful, far surpassing ordinary Extreme Dao Weapon.
Xiao Ping'an carefully inspected the item and, after confirming that it was correct, handed it over to the Emperor Venerable.
The Emperor Venerable stared at the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, which had shrunk to the size of a fist, for a moment, then began to treat it as a toy.
"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable!" the Emperor Venerable said in a childish voice.
At this moment, the baby seemed to have forgotten everything, or rather, sealed away all his previous memories, and everything was as if he were a newborn.
Looking at the infant with astonishing cultivation aptitude, Xiao Ping'an knew that as long as he didn't die, he would soon recover completely.
Chuan Ying had heard about Xiao Ping'an Emperor Venerable's scheme before, and knew that the Emperor Venerable wanted to prove himself again. After proving himself, he would change his name to Yu Feng and abandon the name of the Emperor Venerable.
Then we must open the passage to the Strange World Strange World and travel there.
He used himself as bait to lure the Dark Emperor Venerable out of the world, and then killed him completely.
This plan is extremely risky; if things go wrong, the Emperor Venerable might truly perish.
Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable's rescue must be extremely timely; any slight mistake could result in the Emperor Venerable's demise.
Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, wielding Immortal Artifact, unleashed countless Hundun and immortal runes, enveloping everything in the area. No one knew what was happening there.
Especially the Overlord Heavenly Venerable and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, their aura permeated the entire universe.
It seems to be a warning to all the Dark Supreme: don't act recklessly.
The numerous Dark Supreme, sensing the auras of Xiao Ping'an and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.
The two men's auras grew increasingly powerful; they had actually survived without severing themselves.
That flawless aura of Heavenly Venerable was the envy of all the Supreme.
The Golden Ancient Emperor, who had already severed his own flesh and transformed into the Dark Supreme, was especially envious, his teeth itching with envy.
When Xiao Ping'an re-proved his Dao, he stood on the Heavenly Heart Imprint, stepping on Xiao Ping'an's head. He would never forget that feeling of humiliation, but he was forever helpless against it.
Unless one day his strength surpasses Xiao Ping'an's.
Otherwise, there's no hope of revenge in this lifetime.
