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

Page 156

Yunhua walked step by step along the winding path, which led directly to the small courtyard, perched high on the plateau.

With each step he took, Yunhua felt his understanding of reincarnation deepen.

Finally, Yunhua stepped into the small courtyard.

It was very peaceful. Nothing happened. No strange phenomena rose into the sky, and no profound insights into the Great Dao surged into my heart. Even my original understanding of reincarnation ceased.

There was no information, however mysterious, that Yunhua knew.

It was as if Yunhua had simply entered an ordinary courtyard in the mortal world.

This surprised Yunhua, and she became increasingly puzzled.

Such a grand entourage, and now we've ended up in this kind of place?

If you say it's just ordinary, Yunhua would never believe it!

Yunhua looked around and noticed a lotus swaying in the lake next to the courtyard, emitting a refreshing fragrance that invigorated him.

Yunhua stared at the lotus for a long time, but still found nothing. The lotus was fragrant, but it had no special properties.

Then Yunhua turned her gaze elsewhere. There was nothing left in the lake, so Yunhua began to look around the courtyard.

There is a stone millstone in the courtyard, old and rough. Such things can be seen everywhere in ordinary farmhouses, and they all look pretty much the same.

Judging by its appearance and its ordinary aura, it is just an ordinary object in a farmhouse courtyard.

Then there is a stone bench in the courtyard, and in front of the stone bench is a stone table, on which sits a stone zither.

Just like the lotus and the millstone, it was ordinary.

Next to the stone zither was another object, a stove, which seemed to be used to boil water. However, there was no flame or earthen support for the stove, as if the water was being boiled by fire without any source.

Finally, there was a flower in the yard, very beautiful, growing quietly for people to admire.

But in Yunhua's eyes, there was nothing magical about it; although it was beautiful, it looked like just an ordinary flower.

Apart from these items, there were no other objects in the yard.

As for what was inside the room, Yunhua had no idea. This courtyard clearly belonged to someone, and he couldn't just barge into their room.

He entered the courtyard because this was the place Mingwu wanted to bring him to, and he had no choice.

"I wonder if the owner of this place is here?" Yunhua thought for a moment and then asked loudly.

There is a zither, a fireplace, flowers, lotus flowers, and a stone mill.

One can imagine that the owner of this place often played the zither, admired the flowers, drank tea, and watched the lotus flowers in the courtyard. Perhaps he would even grind soybeans or something similar himself using a stone mill.

There was no response from Yunhua; all was quiet, as if the master had been gone for a long time.

Yunhua fell into deep thought. It seemed that it wasn't the owner of this place who wanted to see me.

After all, if you're going to meet someone, and you've already invited them to your home, how can the host just run away?

Yunhua had some doubts. The Nether Mist might not be the tribulation he was destined to face. The only thing he might need to confront in his journey of reincarnation was the divine lightning of the Great Dao.

The Nether Mist appeared because of this courtyard, and it even assimilated the Great Dao Divine Lightning. Now, even the Great Dao Divine Lightning has no intention of striking Yunhua.

It seems that the Great Dao Divine Thunder has joined forces with the Nether Mist.

"This courtyard, this plateau, this stone zither, and the path of reincarnation—could this be that person's residence?"

Yunhua vaguely knew where he was, but he was unable to take anything with him, as if separated by a space-time barrier.

"Uh." Suddenly, Yunhua paused, his intuition telling him that he could leave this place.

"You let me rest here for a bit, and then everything's fine?" Yunhua's doubts were practically overflowing.

Yunhua waited in the courtyard for a while longer, looking around and touching things. To be honest, he was somewhat unwilling to leave just like that.

Chapter 353 The Resurrection of the Emperors

What are you doing? Tell me! You brought me here and then didn't say anything.

After waiting a while longer, nothing changed. Yunhua shook her head. The ruthless people were still waiting for her. Since she hadn't gained anything, there was no need for her to linger in the courtyard any longer.

Anyway, the reincarnation is almost complete, and the remaining part can be completed smoothly when returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"Shi Hao hasn't reacted, which probably means it's harmless." Yun Hua thought to herself as she stepped out of the courtyard and returned to the path, no longer experiencing any insights into reincarnation.

But the moment Yunhua left, a stone hairpin flew out from the room and automatically landed behind Yunhua's head, inserting itself into her hair bun.

"This is... Did that person use it?" Yunhua carefully sensed the stone hairpin. It looked quite simple and ancient, with no secret power flowing through it. However, something that even Yunhua's primordial spirit, which was close to that of a quasi-immortal emperor, could not see through was definitely not simple.

It's just that Yunhua's current strength is too low to unleash the power of this stone hairpin. Perhaps when he reaches the End of the Path realm, he will be able to glimpse the secrets of this stone hairpin.

Having already received the gifts from this place, Yunhua had no last reason to stay.

In fact, Shi Hao's influence also played a role in Yunhua's composure.

He knew that Shi Hao had been watching him closely, and Yun Hua didn't think anything could be kept from Shi Hao, who was at the Immortal Emperor level.

After all, he was a formidable figure who ventured alone into the Calamity Land. According to what Shi Hao said when they met at the Nine Dragons Coffin, those mysterious and eerie ancestors were probably at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, and were in the same major realm as Shi Hao.

It's impossible for him to get himself killed before Shi Hao could react at all.

So Yunhua wasn't too afraid. But what was the reality?

Shi Hao had no idea Yun Hua had arrived. In his sight, Yun Hua remained within the Nether Mist, enduring its corrosive influence...

Yunhua and Shihao's thoughts led to a beautiful misunderstanding...

Shi Hao thought this was just a normal cycle of tribulations and believed that Yun Hua could overcome it. Yun Hua thought that Shi Hao had been watching her all along and that nothing could happen to her, so she remained calm.

Enveloped in the dark mist again, Yunhua discovered that she could indeed return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths at any time.

Yunhua glanced back at the small courtyard on the plateau.

"A strange experience, a strange place," Yunhua murmured. For some reason, Yunhua felt that she might have to set foot here again in the future.

However, Yunhua felt that "later" was a very long time coming.

Then Yunhua disappeared from there, taking the Six Paths of Reincarnation with her, and returned to the Shrouding the Heavens Universe.

After Yunhua left, the place fell into an eternal silence. There was no wind and no people. Time seemed to be out of control here, as if it had stood still and stopped flowing.

It's as if billions of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At one moment, in that small courtyard, on the stone bench, it seemed as if a sigh came out, but it also seemed as if it were an ancient sob.

Upon returning to the Nine Heavens, Yunhua's appearance went unnoticed by the emperors. However, Yunhua himself did not conceal his presence. Logically, when a Celestial King returns to the Great Realm, the world should rejoice, and extraordinary phenomena should appear within the realm to welcome the Celestial King's return.

"Is it this stone hairpin? It seems to be able to shield itself from its own fluctuations, as if it does not exist in this world. Is it the great power of the sacrificial path? It is unknowable and undetectable."

Yunhua gently stroked the stone hairpin. Although she still couldn't fathom its power, its immense strength was evident from the side.

Yunhua guided the primordial spirits of the emperors to her side, gazed at their spirits obscured by the cycle of reincarnation, and sighed.

Subsequently, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's great power wiped away the ignorance from the minds of the new emperors, purifying their souls and finally awakening them. He then infused their original essence into their souls, which Yun Hua had retrieved from the river of time and space with great effort.

"Go, return!" Yunhua released the slowly reviving emperors back to their place of death, where they could recover more quickly.

On the ancient star of the Heavenly Soldiers, a cold-faced youth looked up at the sky, his body radiating sword intent that slaughtered all things.

"I am back."

"Yan!"

The sound of swords rang out, and four deadly swords appeared from nowhere, arriving beside the boy with cheers and jubilation.

In the Eternal Starfield, modern buildings stand tall and imposing on the planet, creating a magnificent sight.

"In this life, I will live forever!"

A young man uttered his most powerful voice.

Beidou, Yuanhuang Cave, a young man appeared here, feeling the familiar bloodline aura in the cave, his eyes were already glistening.

“My child, I’m back.”

On Mount Sumeru, a young monkey went up the mountain and saw the Immortal Iron Cudgel, as well as the monkey cultivating under the cudgel.

He smiled slightly, and his domineering and invincible aura softened somewhat.

The Holy Prince felt the gaze upon him, and suddenly opened his eyes. He saw the monkey climbing the mountain, that familiar face, and the Holy Prince's bloodline throbbed.

He rushed straight over.

Similar events are happening all over the universe, with young people appearing on various ancient planets and within sacred religions.

They are all ancient emperors who have reappeared. Now they are young again. Most of them did not choose to recall their Dao Fruit, but instead took this life as a new one and embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world, because they all have a reincarnation seal in their primordial spirit.

Emperors and sovereigns throughout the ages, returning to their youth!

The fortunes of heaven and earth suddenly surged, and the origins of the universe went berserk. This was an unprecedented miracle, and everyone involved in the universe was shocked and confused.

Looking at the various ancient stars that were suddenly thrown into chaos by the return of these powerful figures, Yun Hua smiled slightly, finding it amusing.

"I've put in so much effort, don't let me down..."

Yunhua whispered, although this time it seemed to have gone very smoothly without any setbacks.

However, if the Nether Mist hadn't suddenly appeared and interfered, if he didn't have so many beings throughout the myriad realms whom I could resurrect at any time, and if there wasn't a being with combat power at the peak of the Immortal Emperor level to cover for him...

If any other cultivator were to do this, they would likely encounter terrifying beings and unpredictable events during the very first step.

Later, when faced with the divine lightning of the Great Dao, they will be struck dead without any chance of survival.

Therefore, if it weren't for Yunhua doing this, and someone else had done it, this would have been a certain death!

Who could possess so many backup plans and strategies at this stage? Never before in history!

Yunhua's words resonated in the hearts of every returning strongman.

Yunhua didn't try to hide it; after their return, they all had some basic information and knew who had done it.

Chapter 354 Cause and Effect

"The Heavenly Emperor..." After hearing the words echoing in his mind, telling them not to disappoint Yunhua, the ancient Heavenly Venerable's expression became profound.

"The Heavenly Emperor of the future..." A flame flickered in the eyes of an ancient emperor, ambitious and confident that if he were to be reborn, this world would surely be theirs, and they might not be weaker than this Heavenly Emperor!

I can take his place!

"Don't let me down?" a great emperor whispered upon his return. "You are the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, with unparalleled achievements. Helping me return and converting the Undying Heavenly Emperor can also be considered revenge for me."

"Whatever your purpose is, I will help you."

At this moment, the light of reincarnation between heaven and earth had dissipated, and the Daoist aura permeated the area around Yunhua, with the Six Paths of Reincarnation continuing to operate slowly.

Yunhua has gained a great deal from this cycle.

After the emperors who had come to the scene because of the resurrection of the Great Emperor and the Ancient Emperor confirmed that the Heavenly Emperor was alright, they were attracted by the near-perfect cycle of reincarnation and their minds were drawn into it.

At this moment, the emperors also emerged from their comprehension of the Daoist principles of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Each of them saw the cycle of creation and destruction, and each gained something from it.

In the beginningless eye, a river appeared, with one person above the river and another below it, without beginning or end.

In the eyes of the Azure Emperor, chaos was created and then returned, and the blue lotus swayed, unyielding through countless eons.

For some reason, Yunhua sensed a familiar aura from the Azure Emperor—the aura of the lotus on the lake in that small courtyard.

"The aura of reincarnation combined with a lotus—could this combination have a similar aura to that lotus?" Yunhua wondered, increasingly finding the place too strange.

"Congratulations on your progress in cultivation," Yunhua said with a smile, keeping some things to himself.

"Thanks to the Heavenly Emperor."

"It's good that you're alright, but where did you go?" The ruthless man felt that Yun Hua was standing in front of him. He could see him, but he couldn't perceive him with his divine sense. It was as if the person in front of him was just a phantom and did not exist in the world.

"Well, I went to a mysterious place that you shouldn't know about yet. Perhaps you'll have a chance to see it when you reach the End of the Road."

Yunhua was absolutely certain of the location, but it wasn't in reality, because according to the timeline, everything there should have left, such as the stone jar, the millstone, and the lotus flower.

The reason why that place remains the same might simply be because of that person's memory from that time, the power at that level—memory can also manifest with power and become reality.

"Heavenly Emperor, the Eternal Emperor and the Sovereign have already returned!" the Great Accomplished Holy Body suddenly exclaimed.

"Ungrateful wretch!" Then he rolled his eyes again, his tone somewhat sharp.

"The Heavenly Emperor granted them a second chance at life, an immense favor indeed. Yet some Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors still harbor thoughts of usurping his throne!"

"They have no respect for the Heavenly Emperor whatsoever; they should continue to wallow in death!"
