A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Page 238

Soon after, the phantom of the ancient Heavenly Court disappeared, returning to the deepest part of time and space.

The Celestial Kings were somewhat disappointed; being able to see them but not touch them was a kind of torment.

Meanwhile, within the ancient Heavenly Court's former territory, which many Celestial Kings coveted and longed to enter, there was already one person inside. This person was, of course, Yunhua.

The ancient Heavenly Court's former territory, which even the Emperor Guang Immortal King longed for but could not enter, posed no obstacle to him whatsoever.

What is "prestige"?

Yunhua strolled around as if she were in her own home, eventually arriving at the Sutra Repository and seeing Little Stone.

"You were looking for me?" Yunhua asked, looking at the young man whose features resembled Shi Hao's.

However, as Yunhua watched, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

“Yes, I’m looking for you.” Little Stone nodded.

Yunhua's intuition was correct; the anomaly at the ancient Heavenly Court site was indeed a signal from Little Stone, its purpose being: "Hurry up and come in!"

Little Stone originally didn't want to be so high-profile, but he searched every world in the Boundary Sea and still couldn't find his father's mysterious guide.

Little Stone immediately concluded that Yunhua was probably in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and that his father had isolated his hometown in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so he couldn't find it either.

So he had no choice but to resort to this method.

"Have you noticed..." Yunhua was now interested in something else.

"Your father and Ye Fan, the one I introduced, look somewhat alike?"

Yunhua compared Xiaoshitou's face, Shihao's face, and Ye Fan's face side by side and discovered something.

Xiao Shitou and Shi Hao look somewhat alike, Ye Fan and Shi Hao look somewhat alike, but Xiao Shitou and Ye Fan look nothing alike.

In other words, Ye Fan and Xiao Shitou didn't inherit the facial features of Shi Hao. That's strange.

The two people look alike, and you're even picking and choosing who they are?

“I also noticed this problem, but I’ve confirmed it repeatedly, and he has no blood relation to his father.” Little Stone had noticed it a long time ago, but he still couldn’t understand it.

“Of course there is no blood relation.” Yunhua said with certainty. He watched Ye Fan being born, how could he possibly be related to Shi Hao by blood?

Unless Shi Hao did something to Ye Fan while she was still in his womb. But Shi Hao isn't crazy enough to do such a thing.

"Some mysterious force is at work here, making your father somewhat similar to Ye Fan..."

Yunhua muttered to herself, "The effects of this mysterious power are not inherited through bloodlines; they only affect the person directly involved..."

“Impossible. Father is the Celestial Emperor, the supreme being of all heavens, eternal and unique. How could he possibly have the power to influence him in this regard?” Little Stone refuted this claim.

"Even the Immortal Emperor is not invincible," Yun Hua said calmly. The young man's vision was still not broad enough. If he could return to the Chaotic Ancient Era, he would definitely bring Little Stone to his side and teach him a lesson.

It's obvious from the current situation that Xiao Shitou hasn't received any of his influence; Shi Hao must have done something to it. This is bad, this is very bad.

“If the Immortal Emperor were invincible, your father wouldn’t have had to fight so many bloody battles and disappear for so long.” Yunhua’s words left Xiaoshitou speechless. Thinking about it, he realized that what she said made sense.

The fact that there has been no news of my father for so many years must mean that he has encountered a great enemy and is unable to spare any attention.

"What exactly caused this result..." Yunhua pondered, while simultaneously discovering another problem.

Before Ye Fan went to Beidou, he was already a young man, but he had no resemblance to Shi Hao at all!

Otherwise, he would have noticed the problem from the beginning, but he gradually got used to it and stopped paying attention. It was only after seeing the little stone that he suddenly realized it.

Yunhua carefully recalled the changes in Ye Fan's appearance. She hadn't noticed them before, but now, as she recalled them, it was as if a layer of mist had been lifted.

Chapter 522 I Look Like Your Father, But Not

It seems that the higher Ye Fan's cultivation level, the more similar he becomes to Shi Hao.

Yunhua carefully compared the two. Ye Fan originally didn't look like Shi Hao, but after going to Beidou, he inexplicably started to resemble Shi Hao.

Now, they probably look about three-tenths similar.

"No, that's not right. It's not that Ye Fan looks like Shi Hao, nor that Shi Hao looks like Ye Fan, but rather that the two of them are starting to resemble someone more and more!"

Yunhua was horrified; the sudden thought that popped into his mind sent chills down his spine.

No wonder they look alike and are so picky about who they are; it turns out it's not that one of them looks like the other, but that they look like other people!

This was definitely influenced by some force, affecting Ye Fan and Shi Hao silently.

But Shi Hao is an Immortal Emperor! Who could affect his appearance without him noticing?

Yunhua felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had stumbled upon a secret that contained immense terror.

Little Stone watched Yunhua's changing expressions, somewhat puzzled. Although the young man looked like his father, there was no need for such a wide range of expressions, was there?

"There must be a reason; it can't happen without a cause. Is it because of identity? Cultivation technique? System? Item?"

Yunhua's thoughts raced, and he vaguely felt that he was exploring something extraordinary.

“They must have come into contact with each other, and it must have happened in both eras…” Yunhua suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Ye Fan's transformation occurred after he arrived in Beidou, and there's one thing he can't avoid in this process: Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin!

Thinking about this, Yunhua realized that this artifact was the most mysterious thing in the Perfect Era and the Shrouding the Heavens Era.

Yunhua suddenly realized something, looked at Little Stone, and hurriedly asked, "Little Stone, do I look like your father?"

"..." Little Stone was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer that question.

Are you taking advantage of me?

Imagine you're walking down the street, and someone suddenly jumps up to you and asks, "Do I look like your dad?"

You must be feeling quite unsettled.

In the end, Little Stone shook his head, indicating that Yunhua was nothing like Shi Hao. Indeed, she was nothing like Shi Hao.

"Shi Hao is nowhere near as handsome as me," Yunhua thought to herself.

"That shouldn't be the case. Could I have misjudged?" Yunhua initially thought that the mysterious power within the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin had affected the two people, but then he remembered...

He himself had also come into contact with the Nine Dragons Coffin Pulling, but he and Shi Hao had no resemblance whatsoever.

"Although I'm so handsome, it's normal that no one looks like me, but my guess shouldn't be wrong." Yunhua frowned, unable to understand, really unable to understand.

The claim that the origin of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin doesn't seem to hold water either, because quite a few people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have come into contact with the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and even ruthless people have studied this thing.

"No, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin is still highly suspicious. Only Shi Hao and Ye Fan came into contact with this thing when they were weak. Everyone else came into contact with the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin when they were already strong."

Yunhua had another thought: the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was mysterious enough, making them the prime suspect.

But for those on the path of sacrifice, what difference is there between mortals and supreme beings?

"I have a feeling that if I can uncover the secret behind Shi Hao and Ye Fan's resemblance, I might come into contact with the most ultimate thing in the world..."

Yunhua thought to himself, after all, it was a power that could influence an Immortal Emperor silently, and it was an Immortal Emperor like Shi Hao. It was not an exaggeration to call it the ultimate power in the world.

Yunhua's curiosity was piqued; who wouldn't want to know the ultimate secret of the world of Shrouding the Heavens?

"I'm going back to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to see the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin." Yunhua made the decision and immediately prepared to return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"You haven't asked me yet why I've called you here..."

Little Stone's voice rang out softly. He watched as the mysterious man muttered and studied the appearances of his father and the young man, his expression constantly changing, and he wondered what he was thinking.

You want to leave now?

Little Stone was somewhat helpless. "Do you know how many Immortal Kings and giants are in this Boundary Sea, all of whom dream of entering?"

"Ah." Yunhua realized that she had come here to see if Xiaoshitou was alright.

At the same time, after being reminded by Xiao Shitou, Yunhua gradually calmed down.

He was just an ordinary Emperor Light Immortal King. It was too early and unrealistic for him to explore the ultimate person or thing in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

I didn't glean anything from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin back then, and I probably won't gain anything now either.

"Hoo." Yunhua let out a soft breath, suppressing the desire to explore in her heart.

This secret is not a necessity, at least not a necessity at present; it can be left for later.

"Now tell me, what happened that made you go so far as to manifest the Heavenly Court to inform me?"

Yunhua asked, "Although the ancient Heavenly Court's former territory only manifested in the Primordial Boundary Sea, the Primordial Boundary Sea is now engulfed in war, and the Dark Faction must have seen it as well."

Little Stone looked at Yunhua and suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. You think I'll just talk because you tell me to?

In the end, Little Stone said that he wasn't a willful person after all.

"The Boundary Sea might not be able to be saved." Yun Hua was stunned. Why was it such explosive news right off the bat?

Is the Boundary Sea doomed?

"What's going on?" Yunhua quickly asked. Although the Dark Faction was currently invading the Primordial Sea, weren't the two sides locked in a stalemate?

How come the border sea suddenly becomes something that can't be protected here?

"The reasons for our withdrawal back then were complicated, but the main reason was that the people above the Dark Races had lost patience."

Little Stone recounted what happened back then: "They were going to send a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor to the Boundary Sea. We retreated before the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor arrived."

"The current Fallen Sea is also the work of the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"You mean, the Dark Faction has another Quasi-Immortal Emperor descended upon the Boundary Sea?" Yun Hua understood the implication in Xiao Shitou's words, but hadn't Shi Hao told him that there were already two Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors on the other side of the Boundary Sea?

Only the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor can influence the entire Boundary Sea.

“No Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor has descended from the heavens.” Little Stone shook his head, then looked at Yun Hua and said seriously, “But it is indeed possible for a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor to appear.”

Yunhua understood instantly. "You mean, there are quasi-Immortal Emperors within the current dark faction of the Boundary Sea?"

“Not yet.” Little Stone shook his head. “It might happen in the future. I’m not sure about that, it’s just a possibility, but the probability is high.”

Yunhua pondered for a moment. Little Stone's realm was similar to her own, but the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor on the other side of the Boundary Sea was something Shi Hao had told her about; Little Stone himself probably didn't know that.

However, it should be possible for a new Quasi-Immortal Emperor to be born in the Dark Sea now; a small sacrifice would suffice.

Chapter 523 A Small Sacrifice Nurtures a Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor

"Since the war was launched again in the Fallen Boundary Sea, I have been observing this boundary sea little by little through various means."

"We've discovered something." Little Stone said, his expression turning serious as he looked at Yunhua and asked:

"You should remember that the great realms on the other side of the Fallen Realm Sea were brought together one by one because of the great formation."

Yunhua nodded; of course he remembered.

The other side of the Fallen Realm Sea is calm and peaceful. The world has been transformed into an archipelago by the formation. One or several major realms, together with some minor realms, form an archipelago.

If the Dark Immortal King presides over the grand formation, he will also receive the blessing of the world's power.

"Over the past few thousand years, I've discovered that the grand array that unites the worlds has another function..."

Little Stone's expression was solemn. "The purpose of the sacrifice."

"Sacrifice..." Yun Hua pondered, "...to give birth to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor through sacrifice?"

"I don't know how to do such a thing. After all, it's unheard of for someone to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor through external forces. But the Dark Faction will definitely not do anything in vain."

"When they came back, besides my father's influence, I now think they might also have wanted to take action against Jiehai."

Little Stone felt that the Dark Faction was a bottomless pit, a fact that the fierce battles between Heaven and the Dark Faction had taught him.

This is an extremely terrifying force; it's not impossible for them to create quasi-immortal emperors through sacrifice.

"To rely on one unknown grand formation after another to perform sacrificial acts, allowing one's own camp to produce a quasi-Immortal Emperor, sounds like a fantasy..."

Yunhua muttered to himself, and Little Stone, in a panic, thought that Yunhua probably didn't believe him and thought he was worrying unnecessarily. Then he heard Yunhua continue:

"But this kind of thing is normal when it happens to the dark faction."

Yunhua knew the terror of the Dark Faction; these creatures corrupted by dark matter were only a part of this race.

Behind them is an entire bizarre race!

It is entirely possible to do what Little Stone said.

Little Stone breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "I don't know if they can succeed, but I'd rather prepare for the worst."

"If it really comes to that, at the cost of destroying the Heavenly Court, I can only take one Quasi-Immortal Emperor with me. If the Dark Faction only has one Quasi-Immortal Emperor at that time, that would be fine."

"If there are more..." Little Stone sighed, "there's nothing I can do."
