Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 1488 - 783: Heavenly Emperor! Human Emperor! Earth Mother! (2)
The Human Emperor held the Kunlun Mirror, he was distinctly recorded as the one who established the current cultivation system of the Tianyuan World, allowing everyone to practice cultivation.
The Earth Mother wielded the Reincarnation Spear, overseeing the birth and death of All Spirits in the Universe, being the final destination of death.
The Immortals were also active during that time, and the Five Great Immortal Treasures were once weapons of the Immortals.
Later, there seemed to have been a catastrophe, and the records of the Immortals abruptly disappeared from the river of history, leaving no further trace, and the descendants could no longer become immortal.
To this day, we continue on the path of our predecessors, searching for traces of the Immortals, attempting to tread that broken path to immortality."
With Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate's narration, Su Jie's expression slightly changed.
"Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, Earth Mother..."
Su Jie murmured to himself, this was his first time hearing such secrets, surely information strictly sealed in the Tianyuan World, perhaps only these veteran Crossing Dao Heavenly Venerables knew about this. Although Su Jie had a high status, controlling the entire Ancient Continent, he had been kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.
Prior to this, Su Jie had thought there was only one Immortal, but it turned out there were three, and they seemed to belong to different factions.
"As for whether the Immortals were cultivated into being or born of Heaven and Earth, we are also completely unaware; this too is something we wish to know."
As Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate spoke, he paused for a moment before continuing, "When we saw the Immortal Corpse in the Tomb of Immortals, I think it should be the corpse of the Human Emperor.
Based on the remaining bits and pieces of historical records, the Tianyuan Realm was originally the Holy Court of the Human Emperor's Taoist tradition, the Thirty-three Heavens being the residence of the Human Emperor, and all Tianyuan humans can be considered his subjects, who were respectfully called the Human Emperor.
After his death, it makes the most sense for him to be buried in the Tianyuan Realm!
It is also due to the existence of the Human Emperor that he once expounded and taught the principles of cultivation in the Tianyuan Realm, stating that the path of cultivation is the path to immortality. This is why we firmly believe that humans can also become immortal, that this is not a dead end, but a bright road that can definitely be traversed.
All of us Crossing Dao Heavenly Venerables are seeking the path, the broken path to immortality, but so far, we have been unable to walk in the right direction."
Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate sighed, his expression a bit complex, full of regret and loss, yet also longing and desire.
Whether it is the young cultivators in the Yunling Realm who often speak of becoming immortal, or the Crossing Dao Heavenly Venerables who have begun to take action, becoming immortal is like a haunting nightmare, the ultimate dream of all cultivators.
"The Human Emperor is buried in the Tianyuan World, so how could he suddenly rise from the dead and attack me, the successor to the Human Emperor? It doesn't make sense!"
Su Jie murmured, recalling the experiences in the Tomb of Immortals, especially the final encounter with the revived Immortal Corpse. If he had escaped a bit slower back then, forget about advancing to the Crossing Realm, he would have died without a burial place.
"You, a successor to the Human Emperor?"
Xingyue Heavenly Venerate's lip twitched, shocked by Su Jie's shamelessness. The Human Emperor was the revered teacher of cultivation for the Tianyuan Realm's humans, how could Su Jie have the gall to claim such a title, his skin was awfully thick.
"Why, doesn't look like it?"
Su Jie raised an eyebrow, righteously saying, "The Kunlun Mirror recognizes me as its master. The Human Emperor loved educating the masses, imparting cultivation practices, which aligns perfectly with me, being a natural successor suits me best."
On Blue Star, Su Jie had also imparted the ways of cultivation, instigating Spiritual Energy Recovery, allowing Blue Star humans to gain extraordinary power through cultivation.
From this angle, Su Jie indeed did things similar to those of the Human Emperor, only Xingyue Heavenly Venerate and Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate were unaware of what Su Jie had done, and even if they knew, they probably wouldn't deem it worthy. Su Jie had merely copied the cultivation system of the Tianyuan World to Blue Star, and smuggled Spiritual Energy to Blue Star. If there were copyright fees and customs duties between worlds, Su Jie would already be deep in debt.
"It is indeed strange for the Human Emperor to rise from the dead. Humans turning into zombies after death is due to the transformation of the physical body by invading Yin Qi, but for an Immortal Corpse of such magnitude, a single drop of Immortal Blood contains terrifying Life Essence, capable of giving birth to a life system in a dead world. Under such circumstances, it's impossible for any Yin Qi to invade the Immortal Corpse's body, unless..."
As Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate spoke, a trace of unease appeared on his face.
"Unless the Human Emperor did not die but merely fell into a slumber."
Su Jie suddenly spoke up, finishing the conjecture that Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate hadn't completed.
"Impossible; if the Human Emperor was merely asleep, how could we have survived after obtaining the Immortal Blood?"
Xingyue Heavenly Venerate shivered, as this was more terrifying than the Human Emperor rising from the dead.
"Not necessarily. Since the Human Emperor taught and guided the masses during the Ancient Times, imparting the path of cultivation, his nature should be pure and kind, like mine. For our offenses, he might not be ruthless, perhaps even seizing the opportunity to pave the path for us to immortality and granting us Immortal Fate.
I must say, the Human Emperor is the king of Immortals with tremendous merit, deserving our admiration.
As the successor to the Human Emperor, I, Su Jie, will also inherit his ideals and beliefs, retreading the path to immortality, fulfilling his unfulfilled wishes, and being unrivaled in this world."
Su Jie kept murmuring, causing Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate and Xingyue Heavenly Venerate to be speechless.
"The Human Emperor doesn't quite live up to the word 'invincible.'"
Xingyue Heavenly Venerate rolled his eyes, touching the Chaos Banner strapped to his back, a weapon from the Heavenly Emperor. Xingyue Heavenly Venerate unfurled the Chaos Banner before Su Jie.
Rustle!
The banner flapped fiercely, the chaotic qi roared, a towering and imposing figure, oppressing like a prison, dominating all paths of heaven and earth, a shadowy silhouette of the Chaotic Universe, billions of star rivers faintly appeared. The sheer aura just from visual observation left Su Jie, at the Crossing Realm, with an undeniable sense of pressure. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
It was unimaginable what terrifying pressure it would be if the real person stood before them.
"The image you see should be the Heavenly Emperor of ancient legend, reputed to be the strongest among the three Immortals, solely possessing the Chaos Banner, Heavenly Suppressing Cauldron, and Immortal Slaying Sword. The Human Emperor and Earth Mother cannot compare to him."
Xingyue Heavenly Venerate gazed at the Heavenly Emperor's phantom on the banner, slowly speaking, appearing proud, as if she could represent the Heavenly Emperor.
"So do I."
The Heavenly Suppressing Cauldron atop Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate's head trembled, the flowing Tao River was suppressed, turning into a solidified lakebed. On the one-zhang-sized Heavenly Suppressing Cauldron, faintly, a figure bearing all beings, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by countless darkness, a domineering silhouette, appeared on the cauldron's body.
"Does the Immortal Slaying Sword also have the Heavenly Emperor's lingering shadow?"
Su Jie suddenly asked. Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate was stunned for a moment but eventually nodded.
"Indeed, the Immortal Slaying Sword has the magnificent light and shadow of the Heavenly Emperor cutting the heavens and earth with one sword!"
"I see!"
Su Jie looked down at his Kunlun Mirror, no reflection of the Human Emperor on it, unsure if it was because the Human Emperor was more low-key, or because the Heavenly Emperor liked to show off. Su Jie assumed the latter was more likely.
"This is the intelligence on the Immortals we've gathered, now shared with you. As for the cooperation..."
Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate put away the Heavenly Suppressing Cauldron, indicating he had spoken everything known.
Su Jie showed a puzzled expression, saying, "Your Five Great Holy Lands have existed for so many years, and all you have is this little bit of intelligence, aren't you just fooling me?"
Xingyue Heavenly Venerate huffed coldly, dissatisfied, "We've said everything that needed saying, believe it or not, it's up to you."
Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate gave a helpless smile, "The Ancient Times are indeed too distant from now, much historical documentation is submerged in history, and each war, famine, or chaos adds to the loss of records. What our Five Great Holy Lands have gathered and collated over these years about the Ancient Times is only this much knowledge about the three Immortals.
If we knew more, we wouldn't be bewildered about the path to immortality, and someone would have already resumed the immortal path, attaining the Immortal Fortune."
"In that case, I can cooperate with you to search for the traces of the Immortal Corpse together."
Su Jie nodded. Seeing that there was no more information to extract, he agreed to the collaboration. The cooperation was beneficial to both parties, and Su Jie had no reason to refuse.
