Chapter 71 Black Emperor, come quickly into the cauldron!
Chapter 71 Black Emperor, come quickly into the cauldron!
"These are the array patterns left behind by the Great Emperor Wushi?"
Gai Jiuyou stood before the Sacred Cliff, his eyes flashing like lightning as he carefully examined the engraved patterns within.
"Truly a masterpiece of nature, its wonders are extraordinary, and it is truly awe-inspiring."
"That's natural."
The Black Emperor said triumphantly, "The Great Emperor Wushi is invincible and the most powerful emperor in the world!"
As a descendant of the Azure Emperor, Shi Feng wanted to say that the Azure Emperor was the most powerful, but unfortunately, although they were both Heavenly Emperors of their time, the Great Emperor Wushi was invincible, while the Azure Emperor was a complete failure and was still lying dead in the Desolate Tower. He simply couldn't bring himself to say it.
He could only hold up his little girl high, exclaiming, "My little girl is the most amazing!"
The little girl looked confused: "Huh? Me?"
The Black Emperor dared not disrespect the little girl, and could only glare angrily at Shi Feng:
"These are the array patterns left behind by the Great Emperor. I walk on them as if they were flat ground. Let me show you what the primordial inheritance truly means!"
He confidently stepped into the sacred cliff, but after only a few steps, a bolt of lightning struck, charring his entire body and causing him to foam at the mouth.
The little girl asked him with concern, "Big dog, are you alright?"
"Wait a minute, how could this be wrong, Your Majesty? Why are you even attacking me?"
Black King was convulsing, severely injured with broken bones and torn tendons, and unable to get up for a while.
"I'm dying, and I need an elixir of immortality to save me."
"Then you should just die."
Ye Fan said, "I feel you are not as precious as the elixir of immortality."
Black Emperor was so angry he jumped up and down, but he couldn't get up because he was lying on the ground; his injuries were really serious.
Gai Jiuyou pointed at the Black Emperor, and a massive amount of life essence surged in, quickly healing him.
Black Emperor leaped to his feet and carefully studied the array patterns:
"This shouldn't be happening. How could something go wrong? I received the Emperor's true teachings."
Before long, he regained his confidence: "Okay, I've completely figured it out, this time there won't be any problems."
He took a few more steps when an even more violent bolt of lightning struck down, leaving him severely injured and on the verge of death.
"Woof!"
Even his dog barking was interrupted by the attack. "Great Emperor, it's me, it's Little Black! Stop attacking me! How come you don't even recognize me with these array patterns?!"
Shi Feng couldn't help but laugh. Even Wu Shi Zhong might not pay attention to Hei Huang, let alone array patterns.
These are the array patterns that seal the Undying Daoist. The Great Emperor Wushi would never grant the Black Emperor the authority to run rampant inside. If he were to release the Undying Daoist, it would be a great disaster.
Gai Jiuyou treated Hei Huang again. Hei Huang, who refused to believe in evil, was struck by lightning several more times, and the dog was almost cooked.
The little girl was a little worried: "Are you okay, big dog? I smell barbecue."
Ye Fan had already taken out the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron: "You dead dog, didn't you say it would be as easy as walking on flat ground? It doesn't look that great to me. Hurry up and get into my cauldron, we can't waste it."
"Woof woof woof!"
Black King barked at Ye Fan, "You fucking dare to try and eat me!"
Ye Fan grinned at him, "Didn't you want to steal my Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron? You won't be able to steal it, but you can live inside. Watch me lull you to sleep."
"That's stewed."
Black Emperor wanted to jump up and bite Ye Fan, but he couldn't get up.
Gai Jiuyou healed the Black Queen again and said, "Don't waste any more time. If you have any array patterns, let me see them."
The Black Emperor was unusually obedient in front of Gai Jiuyou, unfolding a tattered ancient scroll for him to examine:
"Although it's just a corner of the array pattern, it matches the array pattern here, which is enough to allow us to enter safely."
Ye Fan rolled his eyes: "Why is it only one cent? Give me ten more, one for each of us!"
"You think they're cabbages? You're giving each person a copy."
Black Emperor rolled his eyes. "This is an Emperor's array pattern. Even if you only comprehend one-tenth of it, it will be enough for you to roam freely, dominating the heavens and the earth."
Shi Feng also observed from the side. He didn't seek a deep understanding, but only planned to remember it and slowly comprehend it later.
"You can come and go as you wish."
Gai Jiuyou quickly finished his observation and led the three people and the dog into the Sacred Cliff.
There are actually many ominous things, all sorts of strange calamities, and bloodthirsty creatures in the Sacred Cliff. However, those who know better avoid them in front of Gai Jiuyou, while those who don't will be turned into ashes with a flick of Gai Jiuyou's hand.
Shi Feng collected some Yin energy and ominous signs that Gai Jiuyou didn't want and refined them into the Human Emperor Banner, making the Human Emperor Banner appear even more demonic.
The group also picked quite a few rare herbs that were tens of thousands of years old, and the Black Emperor grinned so hard his teeth were showing:
"This is truly a rare gem."
He really wished Gai Jiuyou would bring him to places like this every day. With bodyguards like these, where in the world couldn't he go?
Upon arriving at the center of the Sacred Cliff, one finds a towering mountain that reaches into the clouds, its entire body a dark red, stained with the blood of the Great Accomplished Sacred Body.
On the other side of the cliff, there is a golden ancient scroll, its mysterious energy flowing and its vastness unfathomable.
Upon seeing the ancient scroll, the Black Emperor was shocked: "How did the Investiture of the Gods, created by the Great Emperor, end up there? When was it made?"
"That was used to seal the Immortal Daoist."
Shi Feng said, "The body of the Undying Emperor, who also possesses supreme-level combat power, was sealed here by the Great Emperor Wushi."
Ye Fan was very curious: "Just how powerful is this Investiture of the Gods?"
There are legends of Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period about the Investiture of the Gods, but the timeline doesn't match up. The Great Emperor Wushi is too ancient, so it shouldn't be the same thing.
"It's like the Great Emperor Wushi placing one of his hands here."
The Black Emperor said solemnly, "Even if the gods come, they cannot break the seal."
Gai Jiuyou valued another matter even more:
"The avatar of the Immortal Emperor... has been sealed away since the time of the Great Emperor Wushi and has yet to die?"
Shi Feng dared not say too much, for the Undying Daoist would surely hear their conversation here, even if it was just telepathy.
"Perhaps it is because of the special nature of faith that one can achieve an alternative form of immortality? It is a pity that most emperors do not have a deep understanding of this, only Emperor Amitabha is good at this."
Black Emperor shook his head: "I don't know the secret either, but Purple Mountain was once the place where the Undying Emperor's troops were sealed. It was forcibly occupied by the Great Emperor and has a grudge against the Undying Daoist. It's normal to seal him away."
If he weren't sealed, not to mention whether the Immortal Daoist would wreak havoc on the world, he would definitely beat this dog of the Great Emperor Wushi to death.
As the group drew closer, they came to the Investiture of the Gods and saw two stone carvings.
One is a compassionate Buddha sitting cross-legged under a Bodhi tree, with endless chanting echoing around him, bringing peace to the mind and inspiring one to take refuge in his presence.
On the other side, purple clouds rose from the east, and a green ox carried an old man westward, its aura distant and serene, embodying the spirit of non-action and transcendence.
Shi Feng knew that these were Shakyamuni and Lao Tzu, respectively.
Ye Fan was shocked. There was Buddhism here too? More importantly, the image of riding a blue ox was too deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Lao Tzu?
Aren't these ancient sages from Earth? They've actually come here. Could it be that Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass to the west, directly leaving this planet and heading into the starry sky?
Could it be that there exists a celestial path between Earth and the Big Dipper? Wouldn't that give him a chance to go home?
The stone carving bears the marks of two people. It does not contain any cultivation techniques, but it retains the essence of Dao, which would interest even Gai Jiuyou.
These two are extraordinary; they possess a very high level of understanding.
