Chapter 35 Chuanying's Speculation
Chapter 35 Chuanying's Speculation
"I'll go myself. I want to see what kind of person the First Emperor really was."
Chuan Ying spoke up, explaining that since his recovery he had learned about the First Emperor, but his understanding was still very limited.
Moreover, according to the intelligence they obtained, Jiang Ling was shrouded in a fog, making it impossible for anyone to see her clearly.
Furthermore, for over 1,200 years between his first failed sermon and his second, no one knew where he went.
He will reappear in the world when he transcends tribulation and attains enlightenment, just as the Great Dao of the Emperor is about to dissipate.
This life trajectory reminded him of one person: the Emperor.
The same was true in the era of the Emperor's Myth, where geniuses who appeared at the very beginning overshadowed the entire universe in their attainment of Dao.
Furthermore, the two also shared a commonality: they both established a great religion that reigned supreme over the entire universe.
This made him wonder if Jiang Ling was also a being sealed away from the mythical era, and he even speculated that Jiang Ling's predecessor had a great origin in the mythical era.
The Dao and Dharma, which were presided over by Yuanshi Tianzun, were manifested in him.
All signs indicate that he has a close relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun.
Previously, many people thought he had obtained the inheritance of Yuanshi Tianzun, but Chuan Ying did not think so. He once suspected that Jiang Ling was the reincarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Over the past five hundred years, his strength has increased even further, making him seem like a true supreme being, his aura shaking the ancient primordial stars.
When he was undergoing his tribulation, he was only one step away from entering the true supreme realm; it could be said that half of his body had already squeezed into it.
If he hadn't suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Heart Mark at the very last moment, he would have truly succeeded, breaking the ancient myth and becoming the first supreme being in history to attain enlightenment again under the suppression of a contemporary enlightened being.
After taking the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, the backlash from the Heavenly Tribulation was completely eradicated, and his lifespan was greatly extended.
Now, he can be considered half a supreme being, and he can also activate the laws of the imperial path.
He was confident that he could even fight Jiang Ling.
This time, in addition to facilitating cooperation with the Dao Court, he also wants to challenge Jiang Ling.
For him, in order to attain enlightenment, in addition to breaking free from his obsessions, he also had to confront Jiang Ling.
Five hundred years have passed, and the Heavenly Heart Imprint and Jiang Ling's Great Dao Imprint have begun to merge. Now, if one wants to achieve the Dao, one must face the suppression of Jiang Ling's Great Dao.
If one cannot master the combat power to fight Jiang Ling, even if one undergoes tribulation, one will still be suppressed and killed by the Heavenly Heart Mark.
After listening to Chuanying's words, Yanqi said with a solemn expression, "Lord Chuanying, I hope your suspicions are not true."
"Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the most mysterious of the nine celestial lords of the mythological era, cannot be understood using common sense. Those celestial lords were far too insane in their pursuit of immortality!"
"I hope my guess is wrong, but we'll need to meet in person to find out more!"
Chuan Ying shook his head and spoke.
If his guess is true, the reincarnation and cultivation of the ancient celestial being is too terrifying.
Given their status, they naturally knew what Yuanshi Tianzun had done in the mythological era. To put it bluntly, in the early stages of the mythological era, Yuanshi Tianzun was a complete madman.
During his glorious years of enlightenment, in order to promote the Dao, he wanted to explore the possibility of the existence of a sixth or seventh secret realm, and he did not hesitate to use all living beings as test subjects.
If Jiang Ling is indeed the reincarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun, then it means that the bloody era of mythology could very well be repeated.
More importantly, what kind of plans does the reincarnated Yuanshi Tianzun have?
Simply wanting to cultivate and perfect one's path again and enter the Immortal Realm is clearly impossible.
It has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and there is absolutely no need to rebuild it again.
Unless the Primordial Celestial Venerable has made an unprecedented breakthrough on that insanely crazy path, and therefore wants to start over to verify his own path again.
Even the most powerful emperors were quite wary of the most mysterious celestial beings of the mythological era.
Chuan Ying still remembers what the Emperor told him: those incredibly mysterious Heavenly Venerables from the mythological era may not be dead; they may still be struggling in the mortal world.
Moreover, even the Emperor, who was invincible throughout the heavens and earth, and who had overpowered many supreme beings and unified the universe, looked extremely solemn when mentioning those few Heavenly Venerables.
If those incredibly mysterious Celestial Venerables were still in the mortal realm after five or six hundred thousand years, who knows what level their cultivation would have reached?
Even if the Emperor were to be resurrected, he might not be able to stop it.
"All of this is still just my speculation. If we want to verify it further, we must go to the Dao Court and meet with the First Emperor!"
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Chuanying spoke.
"Hmm, that's right. Even if it were the reincarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun, it wouldn't pose much of a conflict to us. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and Yuanshi Tianzun might have long since turned into a handful of dust, and wouldn't be the same person as the current First Emperor at all!"
Having lived for over 500,000 years and witnessed the enlightenment of dozens of supreme beings, they still found it hard to believe that Yuanshi Tianzun could live for so long.
The Supreme Being's two lifetimes were less than 60,000 years, or even shorter. It was truly unbelievable to them that the Primordial Celestial Venerable lived for so long.
"Elder Ming, I've heard that Elder Xuan of the Heavenly Dao Sect also serves in the Dao Court. I'll trouble you to accompany him this time!"
Chuan Ying spoke to the Heavenly Palace Elder beside him.
"That's only right. I'll contact Junior Brother Xuanji then!"
Elder Ming nodded; he and Elder Xuan of the Daoist Court were, in fact, fellow disciples.
However, his lineage had already joined the Heavenly Court during the mythological era.
"Then we'll leave it to General Chuan Ying!" the people of the Heavenly Palace said. Chuan Ying had already made his decision, and given his status, no one in the Heavenly Palace could change it.
"I'm going too!"
Ye Wujiang suddenly spoke.
"Wujiang, have you still not let go of the obsession in your heart?"
Yan Qi looked at Ye Wujiang and spoke, his eyes filled with regret.
Ye Wujiang was a prodigy they had nurtured in this life to compete for the supreme position, but Jiang Ling's attainment of enlightenment also severed his path.
Over the years, he has been diligently cultivating himself, hoping to defy fate and break through the barriers.
However, after several encounters with Chuan Ying, he realized the gap between them.
With his strength, he was defeated by Chuan Ying after more than 800 moves, and that was only because Chuan Ying held back.
In the past, he was able to compete with Yu Zhe, but to a large extent, he relied on the power of the Heavenly Furnace.
However, in terms of actual combat strength, there is still a considerable gap between him and Yu Zhe.
He tried to make further progress over the course of five hundred years, but a shadow still lingered in his heart.
"It's alright, let him go along!"
Chuan Ying spoke up, knowing the pain in Ye Wujiang's heart. Strictly speaking, he was the first person among all cultivators in this world, apart from Jiang Ling, to reach the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
However, there are too many variables in this life. In addition to Jiang Ling, an extraterrestrial visitor, there is also Yu Zhe, who has been sealed since the end of the mythological era.
If he wants to prove himself, he must get past these two.
In the original trajectory, when the Emperor's Great Dao dissipated, Yu Zhe directly attained enlightenment, established the Undying Divine Dynasty, and began to purge the remnants of the Heavenly Court, severing the path of all cultivators in the early Primordial Era.
Now, there is no Yu Zhe to prove his Dao, but Jiang Ling reigns supreme in the world.
With his current level of accumulation, he is still far from being able to defy the odds and break through the barrier.
To break free from his obsession, he needs to meet Jiang Ling and understand the gap between them.
In Chuan Ying's view, Ye Wujiang's talent was no less than that of a child. He had just been born and had taken a complete Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to reshape his bones. Furthermore, unconventional cultivators like Yan Qi personally performed a baptism for him.
Before he was even twenty, he became the youngest Holy Lord on the ancient star of the Primordial World. In a hundred years, he became a Saint King. At five hundred years old, he directly became a Quasi-Emperor. At a thousand years old, he cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Emperor.
Even now, the cultivation of Tao has only been around for a little over 1,500 years, and such talent is unparalleled in this era.
"Alright, let Wujiang go with us!" Yan Qi gave Ye Wujiang a deep look, then nodded.
"This is the formula for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Since we are asking for your help, let's show our sincerity!"
Another Heavenly Court elder spoke up, took out an ancient-looking elixir formula, and handed it to Chuan Ying.
"Good. Over the years, the Dao Court has also been collecting the formula for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. They also want to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill!"
This pill formula in our hands is like a pearl gathering dust. With the resources we currently possess, it's impossible for us to start refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill again!
Elder Ming spoke up, explaining that in the mythological era, their lineage had assisted in refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and possessed the pill formula.
However, now they have the recipe but can no longer gather the materials to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
Rather than letting it gather dust in their hands, they might as well present it to the Dao Court as a gift, since they already have a backup.
Looking at the prescription for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, many people present fell silent. Elders like Yan Qi were those who had truly experienced the golden age of the Heavenly Court.
Unexpectedly, they would one day need to offer the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to seek cooperation with other supreme beings. This psychological gap made them feel extremely heavy-hearted.
"The past is gone. To restore the glory of Heaven, we must find our young master and attain enlightenment!"
After a moment of silence, Yan Qi spoke.
"That day will come. As long as we find our little master, as long as one of us attains enlightenment, we can rewrite everything!"
Old Man Ming also spoke, a sharp glint appearing in his murky eyes.
