Chapter 69: The Emperor's Past
Chapter 69: The Emperor's Past
At the end of the mythological era, in the battle that destroyed the heaven, a rare war between gods took place in the universe.
The Emperor at that time, after he withdrew from the path to becoming an immortal, was hunted down by Ye Xiu and others, and had no time to take care of his fellow Taoists and offspring.
So when Shang Yuan was stopped by the Lord of Light at the edge of the universe, even though he tried to evade him fiercely, he was still chased by him. In order to protect the safety of his children, he had no choice but to fight against the Lord of Light.
After a hard battle, although she defeated the Lord of Light with the help of the trump card left to her by the Emperor, she was also seriously injured, and the child was cursed by the Lord of Light.
If she didn't have the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill refined by the Emperor, she would have died long ago. But even so, the curse on the child was very troublesome.
Just when she wanted to seek the Emperor's help to resolve the curse on her child, the mark of the heart of heaven in the universe shook violently and then collapsed.
The Tianxin Seal collapsed. Shang Yuan of course knew what was going on. It was that the Emperor was defeated and fell.
At that moment, her sky was about to collapse, and then, through endless fragments of time, she saw several supreme beings descending to heaven and the scene of heaven's collapse.
What followed was that Changsheng Tianzun and others settled accounts with the remnants of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court gods who did not retreat in time were brutally massacred.
In that situation, if he continued to wander in the universe, he would most likely be found by Tang Changsheng Tianzun and those who were hostile to the Heavenly Court, and he would have to live a life of hiding.
Fortunately, she herself was also a master who achieved enlightenment in an alternative way, and she escaped the reckoning of Changsheng Tianzun and others.
Although Shang Yuan's life span was greatly increased after taking the elixir that turned him into an immortal, the curse on his child became a very troublesome matter.
Although the Emperor's descendants have extraordinary blood and have the cultivation of a saint since birth, they are still powerless in the face of the Supreme's curse.
Although the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill can allow the Supreme Being to live a second life, its overbearing medicinal effect is not something a child can withstand.
In the end, Shang Yuan had no choice but to refine part of the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill himself, and then gave the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to his child.
After taking the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill, the curse on the Emperor's child was indeed removed, and his bones were also greatly improved.
Under such circumstances, Shang Yuan took his children back to the ancient star of Honghuang and lived in seclusion.
At that time, the Heavenly Court collapsed. Some elders of the Heavenly Court knew that the Emperor had descendants in the world, so they spread the news to the outside world that those who wanted to welcome the Emperor would return to the Heavenly Court and inherit the Emperor's will.
However, the cautious Shang Yuan did not take the child out, but sealed it with fairy source.
She knew that in the universe, especially among Changsheng Tianzun and others, everything about the Emperor was still being settled.
After the collapse of Heaven, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable moved into the underworld and, together with the Supreme Venerable of Hell, mobilized the power of the underworld to settle accounts with everything left behind by Heaven.
Finally, Shang Yuan brought the child into Kunlun, trying to find the burial place of the Emperor.
However, entering Kunlun brought disaster to his child. In the past, there was a holy spirit in Kunlun who was about to be born. After the Kunlun clan was defeated, the emperor sacrificed the blood of the holy spirit that was about to be born to forge an immortal cauldron.
The holy spirit that was about to be born into the world of great perfection was naturally unwilling to give in. After his death, he turned into a god and wandered around Kunlun. With his royal cultivation, he issued a curse, cursing the emperor and his descendants.
The Emperor was too powerful, and the curse of the Holy Spirit did not have much effect on him. Moreover, with the suppression of the formation spirit, the divine thoughts of the Holy Spirit could not find the Emperor and his descendants.
When Shang Yuan brought the Emperor's offspring to Kunlun, the hatred engraved in his bones made Shen Di Nian find Shang Yuan. After a fierce battle, Shang Yuan was also seriously injured by Shen Di Nian's desperate attack.
Of course, it was also because of the passage of time. Nearly ten thousand years had passed since she took the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill on the day when the Heavenly Palace collapsed, and she no longer had her former peak combat power.
She was caught off guard by the sudden presence of the God and suffered a great loss, and the curse she cast on the Emperor fell on the child.
Although the deity's thoughts were finally wiped out, both the child and she were severely traumatized.
After taking the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill once, it had little effect the next time she took it, which made her despair for a time.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. When he was crying at the emperor's burial place, he happened to meet the emperor who had come back to life, so he became what he is now.
After hearing Shang Yuan's story, Ye Xiu was stunned, but he was Yuanshi Tianzun after all, so he quickly turned around and asked the most core question.
"What happened to Emperor?"
Hearing Ye Xiu's question, Shang Yuan remained silent at first, and then slowly spoke.
It turned out that on the day when the Heavenly Palace collapsed, or when the Supreme Beings turned against each other on the road to becoming immortals, the Emperor had already left a backup plan.
Although he was the one who proposed this grand plan of teaching everyone to become immortals, the Emperor always felt that there was an invisible hand behind the scenes guiding him in that direction.
In fact, after the idea of sacrificing blood to the universe and building the World Cauldron came up, Emperor Zun realized that he might have become a pawn of certain people.
As early as when he was still the Lord of the End, there were already people who were constantly guiding him.
It was not until the Heavenly Court formally proposed the plan to teach the immortals that the dormant Forbidden Zone Supreme was invited out of the mountain by him that the Emperor guessed that he might have sensed it wrongly. Where did the mastermind come from? He himself was a Heavenly Emperor-level existence. Who in the universe dared to plot against him behind the scenes?
It was not until later, after a battle with Ye Xiu Xingkong, that the Emperor invited Ye Xiu to join the Heavenly Court. After being rejected, the Emperor began to doubt again.
Why would Ye Xiu refuse to join the Heavenly Court, share the universe with him, and fly to the immortal realm together? He also acted like he was keeping it a secret, which greatly increased the Emperor's doubts.
Although there are doubts, the plan to teach people to fly to heaven must be carried out.
After that, Wuliang Tianzun suddenly appeared, and Ye Xiu also joined the Heavenly Court. However, he was still skeptical about his plan to teach and become an immortal, which left him puzzled.
It was not until the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill was successfully refined that the Emperor realized that what he had done was no longer what he had originally thought. It was as if someone was secretly controlling him.
This made him feel scared. His strength was at the top of the universe, but he still had such doubts, which made him panic.
Later, when he was heading to the underworld, he wanted to ask the Lord of the Underworld about his situation, but there was a voice in his heart telling him not to reveal his thoughts.
Helplessly, he could only carry out his plan to raise the immortals and forge the immortal cauldron while investigating the mastermind hidden in the dark.
By chance, he found a relic.
In the midst of all this, he learned that in the ancient times there was an ancient secret method called magic.
As the name suggests, planting magic is to plant a demon in the human heart with the seed of divine thought, influencing what others do.
