Originally, Dark Emperor Daoist was hiding in Xuantian Hall to recuperate, and Hong Yi wouldn't provoke him for the time being, letting him die of old age.
In any case, while this daoist was a dojo master and an eight tribulation lightning expert, he had been too heavily injured in the battle with War God Mortis. He could die at any moment.
Because of this, Hong Yi couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter of him trying to kill him. He had too many things to do now. He had to cultivate, accumulate strength, and cooperate with Prince Yu to manage the affairs of the court. He really couldn't find any time to look for Dark Emperor Daoist.
However, he had no choice now.
The minister of war had been killed, and the Central World was about to wage war against the Great Thousand Worlds. The attitude of the creator was crucial. If someone from the Central World came and bewitched Dark Emperor Daoist, or gave him some benefits, or even helped him recover his lifespan, then the entire Yun Meng Empire would immediately become the outpost of the Central World's invasion.
Therefore, it was urgent to deal with Dark Emperor Daoist.
The Divine Wind Nation was tens of thousands of miles away from the eastern prairie. If an ordinary person were to travel by boat, they would need at least a year's time. Back then, Hong Yi had set off from the Tranquil Sea Army's main camp in Linhai Province and had taken a month's time to reach the Divine Wind Nation.
However, what kind of mystique was he now? His magic power was endless, and he reached the prairie in almost a few breaths. Tens of thousands of miles wasn't a distance at all. Unless he was going to the Sky Beyond Heaven, which was billions of miles away, he could reach it in the blink of an eye.
It was currently the height of summer on the Wood Prairie. Water and grass were lush, wolves were everywhere, and cattle and sheep were grazing. There were many markets and cities on the prairie, and it was a scene of prosperity everywhere.
"It's only been a year or two, but the people of the Yun Meng Prairie have become so much more civilized. It seems like they've developed intelligence? There's actually a kind of literary aura bursting out. This is a sign of the emergence of talents. Damn, in less than ten or twenty years, there will definitely be many talents. "
Hong Yi stood high up and looked into the distance. He saw that the layers of space on the prairie were filled with a kind of literary aura.
It was a sign that an intelligent civilization was beginning to sprout.
Even though the grasslands, western regions, and overseas regions all had culture, compared to the Da Qian Tian Province, they were all barbarians. It was because back then, when the sages looked at the auras, they did not have the aura of humanity.
Now, the grasslands actually had the aura of civilization. Clearly, they were no longer barbarians and had begun to advance towards true civilization.
"No wonder. It's because of the Book of Changes." Hong Yi sensed the humanistic aura in the space and realized that many people had read the Book of Changes, annotated the Book of Changes, developed their wisdom, and understood the right path.
This aura was still growing. In the future, Yun Meng might become the second Tianzhou.
"It seems that editing the Book of Changes, elaborating on civilization and developing wisdom has been a great blessing." Hong Yi nodded in satisfaction.
The Xuantian Hall was right in front of them. It was still as majestic as before, and it had the atmosphere of a holy land. It was much larger than before, and it was clear that it had been renovated.
Three years ago, Hong Yi had a huge battle here and destroyed a palace.
"I wonder if the Dark Emperor is cultivating here or hiding somewhere?" Hong Yi hid in the space and calculated. He had to seal the Dark Emperor Daoist and force him to surrender. "If he wants to escape, it will be a little troublesome to catch him."
….
In the pitch-black, deep, gloomy, and silent world of darkness, there was neither light nor light. Even the five senses were useless.
The Dark Emperor Daoist was quietly cultivating. No one could find his true body. This world of darkness was also hidden in a space of nothingness. It shrunk into a small dot between existence and non-existence, drifting along with time.
It was extremely difficult to lock onto his location.
This was the mystery of the Primordial Yang God "Xuan", the "Dark Star" refined by an expert who represented the existence of darkness.
The greatest ability of the Dark Star wasn't the power of the three King of Divine Items, but its concealment, flight, and endless vitality. The characteristic of darkness was its concealment.
Therefore, as long as the Dark Emperor Daoist had the Dark Star, no one could find him.
"There's lightning in the swamp. Follow, a gentleman goes into a feast … What a good 'Follow' hexagram. There's the path of darkness here, and also the path of recovery. After comprehending this hexagram, I have a deeper understanding of darkness. I know the power of Master Xuan, the source of power."
The Dark Emperor Daoist held a book of Book of Changes and studied it carefully, comprehending the 'Follow' hexagram. This hexagram was lightning below, swamp above, and there was lightning in the swamp. The ground was cold, and it was a sign that darkness was coming.
The darkness energy on his body was more harmonious, and the ripples were getting closer to perfection. It was clear that the Dark Emperor Daoist had comprehended many principles, and had accumulated many experiences. His injuries had recovered a lot.
"Dark Emperor Daoist, the place you're hiding is really mysterious. It's actually in layers of space, and with the ripples of time, it took me a long time to find this place."
Just as the Dark Emperor Daoist was pondering, a voice suddenly resounded in the darkness.
"You actually managed to find this place. Looks like you're an expert among experts. Your presence doesn't seem like someone from the Great Thousand World. Are you from Sky Beyond? What business do you have with me? "
The Dark Emperor Daoist closed the Book of Changes and said slowly without any panic.
In his eyes, the darkness parted, and a man in purple robes and a purple crown appeared.
"Dark Emperor Daoist truly is an expert after all. You can actually tell that I'm from Sky Beyond. I am the Purple Myrtle Heavenly Lord. Greetings, Daoist."
"Purple Myrtle Heavenly Lord …" The Dark Emperor Daoist glanced at the Purple Myrtle Heavenly Lord and studied her. "Your cultivation is high, but you're not a Creator after all. You can't find my Darkstar World. Tell the person behind you to come out. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Dark Emperor, your lifespan was originally only two years, but you've comprehended the Book of Changes. Now that your vitality is balanced, and the darkness energy has sprouted, you can live for ten years."
All of a sudden, a voice rang out.
The Dark Emperor Daoist's face changed when he heard the voice. Firstly, the other party had seen through the pulses of his true qi and even his lifespan with a single glance. The sharpness of his insight was rarely seen in the world. What made his expression change even more was that the voice was very calm, but hidden within the calmness was extreme loneliness and extreme persistence.
The Dark Emperor Daoist even saw a lonely, lonely, and extremely persistent figure, advancing arduously on the path of the ultimate way, taking one step at a time and never slacking off.
He was the first leader of Xuantian Hall, a figure from the same generation as the Hundred Sages. He was extremely knowledgeable. Even the Monogatari did not possess his knowledge.
As soon as he heard the voice, he knew that this was an extremely terrifying person. Most people who were extremely persistent were extremely terrifying.
He had never sensed any cultivator to be as persistent as the owner of the voice.
"Even Shang of the War God's spirit of pursuing the path of martial arts in the past was not as persistent, as determined, and as lonely as this voice."
"Fellow, who are you? Can you show yourself? "The Dark Emperor Daoist's voice became extremely stern.
"Alright." The calm, yet lonely voice rang out once more. A figure then appeared in front of Empress Myrtlestar. It was blurry and indistinct, like it was real but not real.
The Dark Emperor Daoist was shocked. He hadn't even sensed how this figure had appeared. In other words, he wouldn't have felt anything if this figure had attacked him.
"There's actually such a terrifying existence in the world. It's a pity I haven't recovered my full strength, or I'd like to have a good fight."
"Fellow Daoist Dark Emperor, there's no need to panic. I'm a friend, not an enemy." The figure said calmly, "If you're willing to work with me and provide a foothold for the army of Beyond Heaven in the future, I can help you recover your full strength and lifespan."
"Are you serious?!" The Dark Emperor Daoist shot to his feet. He was currently relying on the Dark Star to struggle at death's door. If he could really recover his lifespan and strength, he would immediately regain his former glory.
At his peak, the Dark Emperor Daoist wasn't any weaker than the Minister of War.
"That's nothing. Fellow Daoist Dark Emperor, why don't you have a taste of my methods first?" The figure's voice didn't change. He suddenly grabbed out with his hand, and the Dark Emperor Daoist felt the other party's hand expand tremendously, covering the heavens and earth as it surged toward him.
At the same time, the other party's five fingers turned into a qilin, a phoenix, a sky dragon, a pixiu, and a suanni!
"T-this isn't an illusion, but a real mythological beast!" The Dark Emperor Daoist felt himself breaking out in cold sweat. The person before him was simply too terrifying. His martial cultivation was beyond his imagination, and he had no idea what level he had reached to be able to turn his fingers into mythological beasts.
The five mythological beasts roared as the Dark Emperor Daoist instinctively resisted, emitting black light.
However, the five mythological beasts didn't attack. Instead, they fused into the black light the moment they came into contact with it. The Dark Emperor Daoist immediately sensed Pang Fu's essence qi fusing into his body. This essence qi was the source aura of the five mythological beasts.
"Five God Form Refinement Technique! Life Sacrifice Technique! " Feeling the surging essence qi of the five mythological beasts nourishing his body, the Dark Emperor Daoist immediately recognized that this was a primordial secret technique that used the essence blood and souls of the five mythological beasts as a sacrifice to bring the dead back to life.
Now, apart from the qilin, all of the five mythological beasts were extinct.
This was also a method that primordial Godly Kings used to sacrifice.
Primordial Godly Kings captured sky dragons, phoenixes, and qilins to use as sacrifices. Now, this long-lost mystic art had reappeared in the world.
Furthermore, this person had used his own physical body to transform into the form of a mythological beast and fused it into his body! This sort of terrifying method was simply unheard of and unseen.
Even the Dark Emperor Daoist didn't know what mystic art this was.
However, he knew that this would expend a large amount of essence qi.
"Why are you using your essence qi to help me? Could it be that you want to place restrictions on my body to control me? "The Dark Emperor Daoist resisted the Life Sacrifice Technique and said coldly.
"I, the King of Qi, Xuwu Yi, have never used any tricks or schemes. On the path of the dao, tricks and schemes are superfluous. My Dao is to kill my ancestors, to kill gods, to kill my parents, and to kill my relatives. With a resolute Dao Heart, I'll kill out my true self, and I'll kill out a free and unrestrained me. Daoist Dark Emperor, you only have one chance. Accept or give up. If you give up, I will kill you. If you accept, we will be dao friends. "The figure that called himself the King of Qi, Xuwu Yi, spoke again.
When the Dark Emperor Daoist heard these shocking words, his heart stirred, "Hahahaha, I can only live for ten years at most. When the time comes, I have to be bold. Let's take this gamble."
With that, he gave up resisting and instantly felt boundless essence qi surrounding his body. His primordial spirit was actually being remolded and his life force was slowly being rejuvenated.
"As expected, my life force has recovered. 100 years, 200 years … 300 years … 500 years …" His sharp senses could feel his life force and lifespan increasing. His strength seemed to have recovered to 70-80% of his peak state. The Dark Emperor Daoist knew that he had won this gamble. This was a huge gamble.
Suddenly, the King of Qi, Xuwu Yi retracted his hand and the surging essence qi stopped.
"What!" The Dark Emperor Daoist was about to recover his peak state strength but he didn't expect this unbelievably strong person to stop.
…
"Brother Yi, you have been observing for so long. I wonder how did you sense my cultivation? "The King of Qi, Xuwu Yi's figure became clearer and revealed his true form.
"Champion Marquis!" The Dark Emperor Daoist blurted out!
"Champion Marquis? Just a twisted character created by the Undying God King based on my body. Since he was killed by Brother Yi, it can be said that one of my wishes was fulfilled. " The King of Qi, Xuwu Yi stared at the void and saw a figure slowly appear. It was Hong Yi.
