Compared to the original external chapter, most of it remained unchanged. Some parts were modified, and a portion of content was added.
Under the gushing red sun, the mist curling around the woodland became multicolored. The air was very fresh, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Not far away, there was a large dao rite bathed in the morning glow. The buildings that occupied an extremely large area were dyed in a faint golden color. There were mountain and river corridors, pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water, all of them arranged in picturesque disorder.
This was Chu Feng's place of seclusion, suspended outside the world. Even though it was far away from the clamor of the mortal world, it wasn't completely cut off from the world. Many relatives and old friends lived here.
In reality, they would travel to the mortal world from time to time to see the prosperity and brilliance of the great world, or to experience the hardships and hardships of the Spirit Extinction Era. They had never left.
Boom!
In the depths of the dao rite, a large yak with glossy black fur stood indomitable. It revealed its true form, towering into the clouds like a great mountain. It erupted with astonishing energy as it did its "morning exercise".
If it was in the world, its level of power would have long since shattered the blue dome of heaven and pierced into the outer realm.
However, there were no waves here. Even the ground didn't sway, and the entire manor didn't move in the slightest.
Even when a dragon-like, silkworm-like vicious beast swooped down, together with the snow-white Qilin, Variant Desolate Tiger interweaving with dao patterns, as well as the Battle Macaque that returned to its ancestry joining in, exchanging pointers with that black barbaric bull, this place still didn't have a single crack.
A gentle breeze blew over, and immortal lotuses bloomed in the sparkling and translucent lake. Multicolored light rushed into the heavens, and dao patterns interweaved, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the lake. A sweet fragrance wafted through the air.
Chu Feng was busy in the medicinal field by the lakeside. He used a jade hoe to cut open the strange soil and personally planted a branch of Dao Comprehension Tea, waiting for it to take root and sprout.
"Sir Chu, this tea tree of yours looks familiar. Did you steal it from Heavenly Emperor Ye's medicinal garden?" A red-clothed young lady skipped over in a lively manner. Her large eyes were intelligent and crafty, and one could tell with a single glance that she wasn't someone who didn't make others worry.
When Chu Feng heard this, his face immediately darkened. He corrected her, "Heavenly Emperor Ye gave it to me himself. Also, Chu Xi, don't call me that. If your father finds out, he'll definitely give you a good spanking! "
The red-clothed girl, Chu Xi, was youthful and lively. She was not afraid at all. She walked over and hugged one of Chu Feng's arms, saying, "Don't let him know! Besides, you're so young. If I really call you ancestor every day, I'll feel lethargic and old. "
Encountering such a quirky descendant, Chu Feng didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, he enjoyed it and tacitly allowed her to call him 'Master Chu'. He really didn't like being called 'Old Ancestor'.
He was the same as he was in the past. He looked like a delicate and pretty young man. Time passed without a trace.
At his level of strength, the River of Time was nothing more than a beautiful scenery to him. The past, the present, and the future were all in the blink of an eye. No matter what, it wouldn't affect him at all.
Now that he was in this situation, he was more willing to live a life of returning to simplicity, living in the fields, cultivating flowers and vines, and drinking a cup of light tea.
Chu Feng gazed at the distant garden and vaguely saw a few graceful figures gathering immortal flowers and dao fruits. They were preparing to personally brew wine.
Even the people by his side — the women who had gone through the most difficult times with him — were far from this level of strength, but they were still eternally youthful and unaffected by the passage of time.
Chu Feng had a total of three children. Many years had passed, but there were quite a few descendants.
The quick-witted red-clothed girl in front of him, Chu Xi, was a descendant he was quite fond of.
"Master Chu, let me tell you. My cousin Chu Xiao was beaten by someone. He's so miserable. His face is swollen like a pig's head." Chu Xi reported in a low voice.
"Chu Xi, you're snitching again!" A young man walked over. His face was bruised and swollen, and his battle clothes were in tatters. He was in an extremely sorry state.
There were runes flickering on the scars on his face from time to time. This was the reason why the swelling couldn't go down for the time being. The opponent was very powerful, and the runes left behind hadn't been extinguished yet.
"He was actually beaten to this state. How rare. Who did he fight with?" Asked Chu Feng. In this tranquil little world, he had sealed off his perception that could see through the truth and essence of all things. If he already knew all the trajectories of the future before everything had happened, then he, who pursued a rural life, would lose the original joy and meaning of returning to simplicity.
This was his choice. He wanted his life to return to its original state and approach the ordinary.
He didn't want to stand in the domain where he knew everything and controlled everything. He was more willing to be a person of flesh and blood, living in the lights of the mortal world.
"The Ye siblings attacked me …" Chu Xiao stammered unnaturally. He had always been belligerent, but today, he was beaten to this state. He felt very humiliated.
Chu Feng was surprised and said, "Aren't you on good terms with the younger sister?"
Chu Xi said, "Isn't it because he's a womanizer? He went to the Desolate Heaven Emperor's family behind the Ye family's sister's back to get close to the other sister."
Chu Feng immediately glared. How could this be?
"No, I've been misunderstood. I've been wronged!" Chu Xiao was furious and said with a wronged expression, "I went to deliver a letter for Brother Chu Lin. He wanted to travel to the heavens with that sister. In the end, I was misunderstood by the younger sister of the Ye family. She called her brother and blocked my way. "
"Moreover, this isn't the end. The younger sister of the Ye family said that she would call all her clan brothers to block my way once a day!" Chu Xiao rubbed his swollen face, which was twitching.
"Then you go and call people too. Call Brother Chu Lin, Sister Nuo, and the others. You can also gather a group." Chu Xi only wanted to see the world in chaos and gave random suggestions.
What made Chu Xiao sad and indignant was that Sir Chu, this old ancestor, was actually listening with great interest. His handsome face was full of smiles, and he was quite interested.
What kind of person was this? Chu Xiao was speechless. Was Sir Chu's mentality too young, or was he too unscrupulous?
He couldn't help but think of some of the legends he had heard when he traveled the world of mortals. Sir Chu seemed to have many "elegant names" in the past, such as Demon Chu, Fire Taoist Ancestor, and even more outrageous, like … human trafficker?!
Even though Chu Feng usually sealed off his all-seeing perception, if someone dared to think about him and secretly criticize him, he would still be sensitive and know everything.
He smiled, revealing his brilliant teeth, and then affectionately rubbed his descendant's face. As a result, his swollen cheeks directly became three times fatter!
Chu Xiao immediately "teared up" and didn't dare to let his imagination run wild anymore.
"You go and explain to the girl." In the end, Sir Chu was reliable and gave him advice.
"No, I have to first defeat her clan brothers and then explain to her. Otherwise, not only will I die of injustice, but I will also lose too much face." Chu Xiao was indeed battle-hungry, and actually wanted to use this opportunity to exchange pointers with the other party.
"Then go and deal with it yourself." Chu Feng began to drive him away.
Chu Xiao dawdled and wasn't willing to leave. He said, "Sir Chu, why don't you create an even more powerful scripture and open up a brand new path of evolution? I will learn from the beginning to the end."
"Aren't there enough scriptures? Where are the scriptures from before? Have you all practiced to the end?" At this point, Chu Feng scolded them and said, "So many scriptures, where did they go? They were all taken away by that dog!"
At the mention of this, Chu Feng's face darkened. That dog's interest in scriptures was simply unbearable, and it had an incomparably serious collecting habit.
?? In the end, it actually used stacks of scriptures to build a dog kennel. Didn't it want to practice, but to happily lie inside every day?
"We are also learning those scriptures, and have long since memorized them fluently," Chu Xiao said in a low voice.
Just as they were talking about that dog, it appeared in the end. It could be seen that it had just crawled out of its kennel, and it faced the morning glow and yawned. The scriptures behind it automatically emitted Dao cries in the morning light, shining brightly.
* Splash! *
The Dog Emperor jumped directly into the lake, happily swam two laps, and then opened its mouth to collect one large, crystal clear, and fat Dragon Carp after another before running away.
"This scourge, that's a new breed of Dragon Carp I just found in the Chaotic River, and it immediately set its sights on it again," Chu Feng shook his head.
Soon after, the Dog Emperor threw the Dragon Carp to Black Yak, Ouyang Dalong, Mi Tian, and the others who had just finished their morning exercise, and had them roast it while it sat down and waited.
Soon, the Rotten Corpse and Li Xu also appeared, carrying a few rare birds in their hands, which were excellent ingredients for the All-Heavens.
"A bunch of scourges!" Chu Feng added.
The Dog Emperor had its own lair with Chu Feng, Heavenly Emperor Ye, and Heavenly Emperor Huang. Moreover, this late-stage Scripture Collecting Addict had built a nest of various scriptures.
In fact, it was very willing to stay in Heavenly Emperor Ye's dao arena. After all, most of the people of its era lived there. Even Without Beginning and the Great Empress were there, and they all had their own Immortal Mountains and grand dao palaces.
However, it was a little afraid of the Great Empress and never dared to stay for long.
As for Heavenly Emperor Huang's residence, it did not go there often, but it did not go there rarely either.
Originally, the Dog Emperor did not dare to mess around there and always followed the rules, so it was not worried about being taught a lesson.
However, there was one time when a descendant of Heavenly Emperor Huang scared it to death.
It was a descendant that Huang liked very much, and he was very excited and curious. He asked about everything, whether it had a Dao Companion or a descendant. Did it have a Taoist partner? Did it have any descendants? In the end, it even asked it mysteriously how the imperial dog milk produced by the clan was like!
"?!" The Dog Emperor's face turned green. It did not look at the little bastard but instead stole a glance at Huang.
Heavenly Emperor Huang ignored it, but the Dog Emperor seemed to have misunderstood.
That day, the Dog Emperor ran away with its tail between its legs and did not dare to be a guest for a long time. Even the dog kennel there had been abandoned for a long time, and the supreme scripture it was built with was almost moldy.
Therefore, it stayed at Chu Feng's side for the longest time, meeting and causing trouble here every day.
Of course, it would occasionally drag Nine Daoyi and Gu Qing with it to travel the mortal world.
Chu Feng's place of seclusion, Heavenly Emperor Ye's dao arena, and Heavenly Emperor Huang's immortal homeland were not far from each other. They were all floating outside the world, and the three dao arenas were connected in a triangle, equidistant from each other.
It could be said that it was very easy for them to meet. Even their disciples would gather from time to time to exchange pointers and travel the various realms together.
In Heavenly Emperor Ye's dao arena, apart from the three imperial palaces, there was also the Purple Moon Palace, the Miaoyi Pure Land, and so on.
However, the medicinal field occupied the largest area, and there were many strange plants planted there. They were all extremely precious and rare, and some were even unique.
For example, the Dao Comprehension Tea. This ancient tree was brought from the mortal world by Heavenly Emperor Ye into the celestial realm, and then into the heavens. After many epochs, this tea tree had already evolved to the point where it could reach the heavens and reach the dao.
Therefore, this kind of tea was often used to entertain Heavenly Emperor Huang, Chu Feng, and the others. The Female Empress and Without Beginning were also in this dao arena.
The Dog Emperor's nest in this dao arena was built next to the medicinal field. When it lived here, it would look at the garden every day and drool, but it could not steal anything.
When it wanted to steal an immortal peach, the Saint Emperor of the Battle Race would come out to chat with it, preach scriptures, and explain the dao to it. It would torment it until it was exhausted, and in the end, it would escape without a trace.
Moreover, there were some herbs in the medicinal field that it could not provoke. Some of them had already developed intelligence and evolved into human forms countless years ago.
For example, there was a green lotus surrounded by chaotic air. Every time it saw the Dog Emperor wandering nearby, it would transform into the Lotus Emperor's fist seal, teaching it to be a good person and a good dog.
The sound of the zither was melodious and pleasant, attracting phoenix dances. The White-Robed Divine King, Jiang Taixu, was sitting by the lake playing the zither, while Gai Jiuyou was composing a song. A crazy old man was leisurely waving his fist seal in the sound of the zither, changing from the crazy and domineering attitude of the past to become incomparably reserved.
However, when he saw the Dog Emperor pass by the medicinal field, the crazy old man's fist seal changed, becoming swift and fierce again.
"Howl!"
The Dog Emperor was inexplicably beaten up, and it kept howling, "I really did not go to pick herbs this time!" However, the crazy old man did not reason with it. The huge fist seal pressed forward, and the Dog Emperor bared its teeth and screamed miserably, running away madly.
With a boom, the immortal emperor's light shot into the sky in the distance, shaking the outside world. Cai Yusheng, Duan De, and the rotten corpse were in a state of madness, shouting, "I've become an emperor, I've finally become an immortal emperor!" After so many years, he was almost possessed, and the day he broke through finally came.
There were several people nearby who sneered, not taking this to heart.
With a dong sound, the silver-haired Lunar Jade Rabbit pulled out a massive radish from Huang's dao rite, smashing it out. With a kuang dang sound, it landed on Cao Yusheng's head.
The Dog Emperor who had fled all the way here immediately released green light from its eyes, saliva about to flow out. It recognized that this was an authentic Purple Gold Dao Ginseng. Without saying another word, it picked it up and ran.
A cool breeze blew past, the Fire Mulberry Tree Forest rustling about. Huang Heavenly Emperor's dao rite seemed to be dyed in a layer of sunset glow, the lotus pond rippling about, purple energy even more so curling about in midair.
There was the Fire Mulberry Tree Palace, Clear Ripple Pure Land, Yunxi Palace, all of them surging with auspicious multicolored light, flowing with great dao radiance.
Huang's dao rite was the most vast, previously moving over an endless great wasteland. There was a Stone Village at the foot of the mountain, as if it was an immortal village.
His dao rite's immortal medicines, dao trees, and other things were his spoils of war, for example, the Reincarnation Path's Ten Thousand Tribulations Reincarnation Lotus, the mysterious great dao tree in the depths of vile earth. They were all refined away from the inauspicious, planted in the courtyard.
In the medicine field, there was even more so an ancient immortal peach tree, its branches lush and leaves luxuriant. It was the past Pan King, the young Huang indebted to it. Now, it was invited by Huang to live in his dao rite, sometimes taking human form to clean up the medicine garden, sometimes looking for Huang to play chess.
Right now, Heavenly Emperor Huang was currently playing chess with the exceptionally beautiful Willow Deity, Ancestral Master Meng watching from the side, not saying anything.
In the great wastelands, the disturbance was great. The Heavenly Horned Ant and Crimson Dragon were fighting a great battle, exchanging pointers every day. However, the great wastelands had been reinforced, and there was Heavenly Emperor Huang overseeing it. Even though the two fought incredibly intensely, not a single mountain top collapsed.
Ten Crown King shook his head in the direction of those two boorish fellows. He was too lazy to take action. Emperor energy pervaded the air, currently discussing the dao with the dual-pupiled individual. This was also a type of exchange and confrontation.
There were many vicious beasts raised in the great wastelands, large amounts of beast milk produced every day.
Of course, everyone could testify that this was for Stone Village's children to drink. All of Huang's children had to drink quite a bit of beast milk every morning.
In Chu Feng's dao rite, apart from his place of seclusion, there were two imperial palaces with interweaving great dao patterns. These were Yaoyao and Linnoy's places of seclusion.
They resided here for a long time, often discussing the dao with each other.
Chu Xiao returned with a bloody nose and swollen face again. Without a doubt, he was stopped by a group of Ye Family youngsters who were fond of fighting. For the sake of helping their younger sister vent her anger, they let him experience a glorious one on one battle … This group of people felt sour and refreshed, being oppressed quite badly.
Chu Xi muttered softly, giving him a 'fierce move', saying, "If I were you, I would directly go to Ye Family to propose marriage, marry older sister Ye back, have them all become your elder brothers-in-law, solve all problems!"
Chu Xiao told her quietly that it was best if Chu Family didn't go to Ye Family to propose marriage in the short term.
Chu Xi's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this. There was definitely something going on here, so she quickly asked.
Chu Xiao looked around and then said mysteriously, "Don't you know? Sir Chu seemed to have gone to Ye Family to propose marriage."
"Quickly, tell me, who was involved?" Zhou Xi immediately became spirited and her eyes lit up. The gossipy fire in her heart burned fiercely.
"Sir Yaoyao!" Chu Xiao said cautiously.
"Ah?!" Zhou Xi immediately became excited and urged, "Quickly, what's the result?!"
"It's said that Ye Tiandi's face darkened at that time. He felt that smashing the Myriad Qi Cauldron wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he borrowed the Desolate Sword to chop Sir Chu." After Chu Xiao finished speaking, he immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Zhou Xi was immediately excited. She wished she could be there at that time and said, "Damn, this is too explosive. How did Sir Chu react? Did he pull out the Heaven Blade or use his Heaven Warping and Earth Warping?"
Chu Xiao curled her lips and said, "What are you thinking about? How could Sir Chu retaliate? Don't forget his original intention. "
"This is too regrettable. I really want to see them fight. Just thinking about it makes me excited." Chu Xi was sincerely regretful. She almost wrung her hands and sighed.
Chu Xiao nodded in agreement.
Then, they felt something was wrong. A chill ran down their backs and they quickly turned around. They didn't know when Chu Feng had appeared and was looking at them with a darkened face.
"Choose yourself. Do you want to seclude yourself in the Furnace of Time for five hundred years or dig a path in the ancient underworld for eight hundred years?" Chu Feng looked at them.
"No, we don't want to be burned to ashes, nor do we want to become wandering ghosts!" The two wailed and were about to cry bitterly.
Chu Feng revealed his white teeth and said, "I heard that many of you want me, Heavenly Emperor Huang, and Ye Tiandi to fight. Is this true?"
"Yes!" Zhou Xi immediately acted cute and blinked her big eyes continuously.
"Alright, find them all and I'll satisfy them. I'll tell you who's stronger between Chu Zhongli, Heavenly Emperor Huang, and Ye Tiandi." Chu Feng sighed and said, "There should be actual combat today. Otherwise, you'll always be thinking about it."
Chu Xiao's blood immediately boiled when he heard this. Even Zhou Xi stopped acting cute and immediately called for people. Through these two's ferment, those who wanted to see the three great experts' battle were quickly gathered together.
Chu Feng's face twitched. It wasn't just the younger generation, even the Dog Emperor, Rotten Corpse, Heavenly Horned Ant, Nine Daos, Battle Sacred Ape, Gu Qing, Li Xu, and the other old fellas were all moved when they heard the news. They all ran over to join in the fun, not fearing that things would get bigger.
Pairs of eyes were just too fiery, all of them wishing to see Chu Feng immediately take action and fight against Ye Tiandi and Heavenly Emperor Huang.
Chu Feng was extremely serious. He told them that those who believed that Huang was stronger should stand on one side, those who believed that Ye Tiandi was stronger should stand on the other side, and those who believed that Chu Feng was stronger should approach him.
In that instant, three camps directly appeared.
Chu Feng nodded. Then, he pointed out with his hand. A lightning pool appeared above Huang's camp, a myriad energy cauldron appeared above Ye Tiandi's camp, and a diamond chakram appeared above Chu's camp.
"Alright, me, Heavenly Emperor Huang, and Ye Tiandi, who's weaker and who's stronger, it'll depend on your performance." After saying this, Chu Feng left with his hands behind his back.
What was the meaning of this? Why did Chu Feng leave and leave them here? Many people immediately felt that things weren't looking good. They felt their scalps go numb the moment they raised their heads to look at the sky.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the lightning pool. In an instant, beams of light descended and hacked towards the people of Huang's camp. The myriad energy cauldron emitted source qi, and strands of it pressed down towards the people of Ye Tiandi's camp. The diamond chakram rotated, and domain runes descended. They wrapped around the people of Chu Feng's camp like longitude and latitude lines.
"Ah …"
"Ah!"
…
It wasn't the original bodies of the three weapons, but the lightning, source qi, and domain runes that swept down still caused the people of the three camps to scream miserably. They were under great pressure.
"The camp that lasts the longest will fall in the end. Naturally, that's the strongest!" Chu Feng's voice came from afar.
Everyone had the urge to vomit blood. They wanted to see Chu Feng, Heavenly Emperor Huang, and Ye Tiandi fight, but in the end, they took the initiative to face the calamity?!
For a moment, these people thought of Chu Feng's past "elegant titles". What else could they say? They could only curse silently. Some people … never changed!
What else could they say? If they cursed further and dug out Chu Feng's past, they would probably be in an even more miserable state if he sensed it.
Of course, when the lightning, source qi, and domain runes poured down, some people disappeared, for example, Nine Daoyi, Heavenly Horned Ant, Battle Sacred Ape, and others. They were all seniors, so Chu Feng couldn't be disrespectful. He invited them to have some tea.
As for the Dog Emperor, even though he was putting on airs, Chu Feng didn't seem to hear him.
"Tell me the results after the battle ends." Chu Feng left leisurely.
…
At night, Chu Feng returned to his residence after discussing the past and present in Yaoyao's imperial palace. He sat in front of the stone zither and his fingers moved across it. The pleasant tinkling sounds could be heard, but he immediately sensed something abnormal. Cold lightning flashed through his eyes.
However, he didn't sense anyone approaching.
Even though he sealed his perception of the past, present, and future, as soon as there were changes, he should still be able to instantly grasp everything. His eyes moved about. Outside of the withered great thousand cosmos and chaos, his gaze could recover everything. The past, present, and future had no secrets to speak of before him.
However, something strange happened today. That indescribable feeling immediately disappeared after he stopped playing the zither. Was that also a creature above the sacrificial dao?
However, if there really was a creature that stepped on the sacrificial dao, there was no way he wouldn't know. It was as if he was sitting across from him. This was a domain where he could see all of his peers with a single glance.
In the various worlds and High Heavens, the only ones who could come here to visit friends were Luo, the Darkness Immortal Emperor, and a few others. However, they didn't stand on the sacrificial dao.
Chu Feng released his perception. He no longer sealed himself and entered the sacrificial sea.
He directly disappeared from his original location. He followed a strange feeling and chased after them. He crossed High Heavens and entered the sacrificial sea.
It was unknown how many years the Immortal Emperor had to travel. They were separated by endless cosmos, yet he arrived in an instant. He stood on the boundless waves and gazed at the place where the Immortal Emperor was sacrificed.
Then, he appeared on the massive black altar in the depths of the sacrificial sea. Huang and Ye also appeared. It was clear that they both sensed something strange, so they both came.
This matter was naturally not simple. It involved the individual that the strange ancestor sacrificed, making Chu Feng, Huang, and Ye all become serious.
In the past, with their ability to grasp all truths, trace all secrets from past to present, present, and future, when they searched for the individual who sacrificed the strange race, they discovered that there was nothing there, no traces at all. This was extremely strange.
Today, there was a strange reaction. They all appeared here, attaching great importance to this matter.
The black altar looked especially gloomy under the ice-cold night sky. There was blood on its surface, but it had long dried up, becoming black traces.
Even though there had always been a legend that once one stepped on this altar, they would become the sacrifice themselves, not even Immortal Emperors able to return, their blood splashing across the altar, all of this was meaningless for the three of them.
But all of this was meaningless to the three of them. There was nothing in this world that could threaten them.
Suddenly, they reversed history and saw something different. At the limits of the extremely distant past, there was a small courtyard on a plateau, accompanied by a lake.
There was a lotus growing in the lake, releasing a sweet fragrance. As time went on, it underwent changes, becoming the Reincarnation Lotus of Ten Thousand Tribulations?!
It was originally an ordinary lotus, but after being transformed by a person, it actually underwent a transformation that exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
Chu Feng, Huang, and Ye all frowned. It wasn't that they didn't trace the Reincarnation Lotus of Ten Thousand Tribulations, but they only saw it? During its transformation, it didn't see that person. Only today did they make this discovery.
That person turned around and entered the small courtyard, coughing, as if … there was something wrong with his body? At this level, there was actually still something wrong, it was a bit inconceivable.
In the courtyard, there was a rough stone millstone plate that looked like an ordinary farmer's practical object. Chu Feng recognized with a single glance that this was the rough stone millstone plate from Radiant City of Death.
The person in the courtyard sat there, currently playing a zither, a … stone zither!
The ding-dong music couldn't hide his exhaustion. His face was pale, carrying a sickly appearance. He should have been extremely refined, but right now, he seemed to lack vitality.
The most important thing was that this person's face was quite similar to Chu Feng, Huang, and Ye. The three Sky Emperors' appearances were a bit similar, this already aroused suspicion. Now, there was one more person.
At his side was a stove used to boil tea. It was similarly a practical object, a time furnace.
There was a flower in the courtyard. After it withered, it turned into a seed, and then it began to grow again. The pale faced scholarly man played the zither and admired the flower. He was originally leisurely and contented, but his body's condition deteriorated with each passing day. He continuously frowned.
Chu Feng was greatly moved. It was previously just an ornamental flower, but now, it actually became the seed of the flower pollen path.
It was clear that back then, that flower was also unordinary, deeply loved by the man. He planted it in the courtyard to admire it.
In the end, everything changed. Black blood flowed out from the man's mouth and nose, gray mist curling about his body. His body became worse and worse, continuously coughing.
In the end, he actually rotted, all types of problems on his body erupting.
Until one day, he released a sigh, weakly saying to himself, "I … will I still return?"
Next, he went out, refining bronze on the plateau, chiseling out a stone jar. Then, he burned himself, and his ashes fell into the jar, entering the three-layered bronze coffin, buried under the plateau.
Until one day, the plateau collapsed, and the bronze coffin was exposed on the surface. As the terrain changed, the coffin lid opened, and the ashes in the stone jar scattered out.
Then, after endless years, outsiders finally appeared here, as if they knew there was danger, hiding in a sealed coffin.
However, they were still corroded, contaminated by the ashes on the plateau, and strange transformations took place. They all went crazy, shattering the Reincarnation Lotus of Ten Thousand Tribulations, causing it to die for countless eras. They also shook the great earth, and the objects in the small courtyard flew in all directions.
…
"There really was such a person." Chu Feng sighed. Only, why couldn't they trace it back to the past? Only today, when he stood here, did he see the events of the past in the long river of time.
At this time, on that ice-cold black altar, a figure suddenly appeared. It was very indistinct, and its voice was hoarse, as if a malicious spirit was whispering, "You all came."
"Are you the creature sacrificed by the strange races, also the one they are afraid of, the one they have to find no matter what?" Ye Tiandi calmly asked.
"I have no malice," that shadow said in a low voice.
However, after a wave of fluctuations that made even immortal emperors' hearts palpitate, thick red hair suddenly grew on his body. The whites of his eyes appeared like those of a dead fish, and black blood began to flow from his mouth, nose, and eyes. His head of hair began to wither yellow, and gray mist pervaded the air around his body. His entire being emitted the most powerful strange aura, extremely terrifying!
Hair grew on his body, and black blood flowed out, yet he still said he had no malice? This was the true source of the strange power! Chu Feng stared at him coldly. If he wanted to take action, then he would fight!
"Little friend, you all have misunderstood. This isn't what I want, but rather my original body was like this before. My illness was beyond cure, and in the end, I burned myself, and from then on, all ages became nothing. However, I don't know when it started, but from time to time, I was sacrificed by others. Until today, I gradually gathered a shadow. "
Then, he became faint again, only leaving behind a black shadow that wore tattered feathered clothes, standing there.
"Who exactly are you?" Heavenly Emperor Huang asked about his origins and roots.
"Before, I was an expanse of nothingness, with few memories. After me, it is your world, just like what you all have seen and experienced. Someone sacrificed themselves, and I condensed from the unseen nothingness. "He actually said these words.
"In the depths of the vile earth, the great primogenitors of the strange races, their power all originated from the various inauspicious symptoms on your body?!"
"Should be." The shadow nodded.
Just now, the black blood flowing from the shadow's body and dripping pus were all types of injuries. They were actually the various sources of the inauspicious power? This was truly astonishing!
"You are also the owner of the bronze coffin. Back then, you were buried inside?" Chu Feng asked again.
"Yes, my blurry primordial memories reminded me. Back then, my illness was beyond cure, and I had no choice but to burn myself. My ashes were placed in a stone jar, placed in a three-layered bronze coffin, and buried in the highlands." The shadow nodded. This was his limited understanding of his own origins.
Chu Feng stared fixedly. This was indeed the person they had traced back to the end of time, his origins a bit unfathomable!
The three heavenly emperors were a bit silent. The strange creatures, the source of the inauspicious power, the terrifying highlands, everything originated from this person.
If what they saw in the ancient history wasn't false, this person really couldn't be blamed. Moreover, he didn't even know who he was, and his ashes were scattered out by accident.
"I have long grown weary of the present world, and I bear no malice towards you all. Fine, the reason I called you all here is to ask you all to help me set me free."
Chu Feng sighed. He suddenly felt that this person was quite pitiful. He didn't know about the past, but when he thought about it, he didn't have any reluctance to part with it, only wanting to be completely set free.
"Do you not have any memories of your past?" Chu Feng asked again.
"An expanse of nothingness." The shadow shook his head.
Right now, he didn't have anything else to ask for, only wishing for ashes to ashes, earth to earth.
"I might not necessarily be able to return to where I came from, but I should have died a long time ago and shouldn't have existed." The shadow requested them to take action again.
Heavenly Emperor Huang, Heavenly Emperor Ye, and Chu Feng were all silent. In the past, they had already deduced that the three of them had similar appearances, and that they were all somewhat related to the copper coffin master. It was because they had all accompanied the copper coffin and stone jar for a long time, a mysterious power had imperceptibly influenced their five senses.
When they met today, it was indeed like this.
"Senior, regarding the past, you don't even remember a single bit?" Chu Feng really wanted to know about his past, saying, "For example, reincarnation. I had previously discovered that the remnant power might be related to you."
"The underworld reincarnation path, it seems … to be the path I walked." The shadow thought hard for a long time before saying these words. As for whether it was before the outbreak or the path he walked during the outbreak, he couldn't restore it.
"Why did you end up in this state?"
In the eyes of the three heavenly emperors, this was simply inconceivable. Above the sacrificial dao, who could still injure him? What kind of power could corrode him?
The three of them all frowned. The shadow was only a remnant. Who was that person when he was alive? Where did he come from? He was clearly incredibly powerful, yet he was actually 'beyond cure'.
As for his origins, as well as his past, there was no way to investigate. Before today, no traces of his true body could be found even if one searched through ancient history.
"During the endless years, I have also been asking myself who I am, but I don't have any memories, unable to recall the past. After all, I am only a blurry shadow. However, my fragmented speculations might be useful to you all," the shadow said calmly.
The black figure spoke calmly. Perhaps he had sacrificed the past, present, future, and himself on the Dao of Sacrifice.
"Perhaps I wanted too much, or perhaps I didn't want anything, wishing to abandon everything. Unfortunately, I forgot everything. With the last bit of my hazy perception, I seemed to have gone from nothing to something, and then from something to nothing, and then to something again, changing back and forth. I am sick …"
After saying these things, he no longer spoke, asking the three of them to help him leave this world.
"Senior, please go!"
In the end, the three of them chose to take action. Under the resplendent radiance, that shadow was submerged, burning fiercely. All of the strange matter was ignited.
From ancient times until now, no one could resist the joint attack of the three great heavenly emperors!
Even the matter that was the source of the so-called inauspicious power was turned into ashes, purified, and thoroughly annihilated.
The shadow became indistinct and dissipated, never to be seen again.
The three great heavenly emperors traced back. Regardless of whether it was the past, present, or future, there was no trace of the shadow. They also couldn't see his true predecessor, an expanse of nothingness.
Next, do I have to write an acceptance speech again? How vexing, I actually have to write an acceptance speech twice. Gather again on the first of May.
