The Clouds' First Battle
Chapter 1600: Yunchu’s Dispute
Yun Tianzun's heart sank. The person who was staring at him the most closely was probably Taichu.
Because of his own defects, the Great Emperor used the Great Beginning Emperor Sword as the foundation to grow the Dao tree, bloom Dao flowers, and bear Dao fruits. In the battle of the Divine Consciousness Daluo Heaven, the Great Emperor died and his Dao disappeared. Yun Tianzun took the opportunity to control the Great Beginning Emperor Sword and scared away Hao Tianzun. The Emperor Sword then became his magic weapon.
This imperial sword is Taichu's companion treasure. When Taichu was born, it was taken away by Taidi. The desire for the imperial sword has always been Taichu's obsession.
At the moment when Yun Tianzun's figure rushed into the Divine Consciousness Daluotian, a Yiqi Daluotian slammed into it fiercely and collided with the Divine Consciousness Daluotian!
Yun Tianzun could hardly stand still, but fortunately at this moment his Dao Tree was not like Taidi's which was incomplete, but a complete Dao Tree, so he could bear it.
Swoosh——
The roots of the Tao tree danced and pierced into his back. Suddenly, a surge of spiritual consciousness surged out from the roots of the Tao tree and blessed his body.
Inside Yun Tianzun's body, the spiritual fetus was opened up and evolved into the ancestral continent. The galaxy soared and turned into Xuandu. The Sky River penetrated into the sky, rising up from the sea of sky and penetrating Xuandu.
This celestial river flows down from Xuandu, revolves around the four poles of the universe, and establishes the four poles' divine treasures. The major divine treasures in the four poles' heavens are then opened up one after another.
Then Yuandu was opened up, the Tianhe River passed over Yuandu, flowed into Youdu, and turned into the Styx, and Youdu was opened up.
The Styx flows from Youdu into Guixu, and Guixu is opened up.
From then on, he cultivated the seven realms of the New God's Treasure!
This is the new seven realms of the Gods that Lan Yutian taught him. This realm is different from the previous seven realms of the Gods. It does not borrow the power of heaven and earth. Except for the spiritual fetus, the other six realms of the previous seven realms of the Gods all borrowed power from external objects and ancient gods.
The new divine treasure is to observe the way of heaven and earth and to open up the divine treasure. It does not rely on external forces, but takes itself as the universe, draws on the way of heaven and earth to evolve the magnificence of the universe within the body.
Yun Tianzun's cultivation strength improved by leaps and bounds. In fact, when he cultivated to the Youdu realm, he had already escaped from life and death and became like a god, possessing infinite lifespan, as long as the heaven and the earth.
If possessing infinite life span is taken as the standard for becoming a god, then the sixth realm of the New God’s Treasure, the Youdu realm, can be called the realm of gods.
However, the realm created by Lan Yutian does not have the so-called divine realm, and there is not even the realm of heaven.
After Yun Tianzun opened up the seven divine treasures, his soul stood above the ancestral temple, and the great ways gathered together. He passed through the four heavenly gates, experienced the baptism of Yaochi and Yaotai, experienced the tempering of Tianhai Daoxin, and then entered the God-Slaying Platform and the Nine Hells Platform.
The front was hazy and chaotic. His soul appeared in front of the majestic Yujing City, but he was still unable to step into the Yujing City.
The realm opened up by Lan Yutian, the Seven Gods' Treasury is the foundation-building stage, followed by the Ancestral Court realm, which is divided into the Four Heavenly Gates realm, the Yaochi Yaotai realm, the Tianhai realm, the God-Slaying Terrace realm, the Nine Hells Terrace realm, the Yujing realm, the Five Tai realms, and the World Tree realm.
The seven realms of the New Shenzang were completed by Lan Yutian alone, while the eight realms of the Zuting were jointly opened up and completed by Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua, Hua Xuanxiu, Granny Si, Prince Youming and others.
It’s just that they haven’t completed the Yujing Realm, the Wutai Realm and the World Tree Realm.
Because the Yujing Realm wants to comprehend the Yujing City, but the Yujing City is sealed by the Heavenly Lords and guarded by troops, Lan Yutian and others cannot enter there to comprehend. Therefore, there is only a hazy view of the Yujing City but they cannot step into it.
The Five Tai Realms require the comprehending of the five innate great ways of Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu and Taiji. Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua have visited the ruins of the five major mineral veins more than once, trying to comprehend these five great ways, but these five great ways are so profound and unfathomable that they have never been able to complete them.
The World Tree Realm is somewhat similar to the traditional Tao Realm, similar to the Kaihuang Tao Realm where one achieved enlightenment through the thirty-six levels of heaven, cultivated into the Daluo Heaven, and had Tao trees blooming, Tao flowers blooming, and Tao fruits bearing.
However, the World Tree Realm is different from the traditional Tao Realm. The Tao Tree in the Tao Realm imitates the World Tree, while the World Tree Realm is about comprehending the World Tree in the Black Mountain Holy Land. In the ancestral temple that one has opened up, one uses one's own Tao to nurture a World Tree.
When the World Tree is cultivated, it will control all the avenues within the body, and the avenues will form a Daluo Heaven with the World Tree as the center.
The world tree in Daluo Heaven can also bloom Taoist flowers and bear Taoist fruits.
Different from the Daluotian of the Dao Realm system, the Daluotian of the Ancestral Temple system does not need to rely on the ultimate void. The Daluotian of the Ancestral Temple system is transformed by its own Dao.
This was the idea of Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua. They intended to use this method to avoid the ultimate void being crushed by too many Daluotian in the ultimate void, causing the destruction of the universe.
If one does not rely on the Great Dao, but merely cultivates Daluotian within one's own ancestral system, then there will not be too much pressure on the Ultimate Void, and it may be a way to resolve the destruction of the universe.
Moreover, different people practiced different ways, and the Daluotian and World Tree in the ancestral temple were also different.
The traditional Heavenly Palace system achieves Tao through force, while the Tao Realm system achieves Tao through Tao. Both rely on the outside, while Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua and others rely on the inside. This is the biggest difference between the new and old systems.
Yun Tianzun was able to cultivate the new ancestral temple system to the Nine Hells Platform level in a short period of time. His aptitude and understanding were truly extraordinary.
But the new system is not complete. Even pioneers such as Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua have not been able to perfect it, let alone him as a learner?
His magical power is still far inferior to that of Taichu, the master of the Heavenly Palace system!
Taichu appeared under the Dao tree of Yiqi Daluotian and looked at him. Feeling that Yun Tianzun had increased his physical strength countless times in a short period of time, he couldn't help but show approval.
"Yun, I conferred you the title of Heavenly Lord. It was also me who instructed you to descend to the mortal world and establish the Xiaohan Heavenly Court in Yuandu. I even conferred you the title of Heavenly Emperor of the post-natal creatures."
Taichu sighed, "How did you repay me? You teamed up with Lord Haotian and used the beauty trap to seduce me, causing me to lose my position as the Heavenly Emperor. Yun, Yun, I treated you well. I realized that you had the ambition to fight for the world, so I cultivated you, but you betrayed me time and time again. Are all human beings so unreliable?"
Yun Tianzun frantically mobilized the power of the Dao Tree behind him, stretched out his hand and grabbed it. A flash of sword light flashed, and the Taichu Emperor Sword fell into his hand. He said solemnly: "Your Majesty ordered me to establish the Xiaohan Heavenly Court in the lower world to rule the acquired creatures. In turn, he ordered Hao Tianzun to establish the Longxiao Heavenly Court in the lower world to provoke conflicts between us, let us confront each other, and fight each other. Your Majesty's intention is nothing more than seeing that the demigods and acquired creatures are thriving and the rule of the ancient gods is no longer secure, so he took this opportunity to let us kill each other and wear down our strength. I realized at that time that in order to overthrow the ancient gods, I must kill your majesty first. If your majesty is not dead, the ancient gods will rule the world forever, and the world will be dark forever!"
"So you teamed up with Hao Tianzun, and you controlled the Heavenly Alliance. In order to use the power of the demigod to kill me, you had to give him half of the power of the Heavenly Alliance."
Taichu sighed and said, "He has taken over the magpie's nest and slowly eroded the Heavenly Alliance. Yun Tianzun, after you overthrew me, have you ever regretted it? Your Heavenly Alliance has become the Heavenly Alliance of Hao Tianzun and other ten Heavenly Lords. You overthrew the rule of the ancient gods, and then the demigods continued to rule the heavens and the worlds. You humans and the creatures of the later generations are still sacrifices and have not escaped the fate of being enslaved and sacrificed in blood. There is no difference between you overthrowing me and you not overthrowing me."
Yun Tianzun also sighed, and then said solemnly: "There is a difference. There was no hope before, but now there is hope. This is the biggest difference!"
Taichu laughed loudly, waved his sleeves and said, "Hope? What a vague and ironic word - Yun Tianzun, you call the countless gods of the human race and the acquired creatures who have been bloodbathed and slaughtered time and time again for millions of years hope? You call the Longhan Tribulation, the Chiming Tribulation, the Shanghuang Tribulation, the Kaihuang Tribulation and the Yankang Tribulation hope? The acquired creatures have been cut one after another like leeks, and this is what you call hope?"
Yun Tianzun flicked the Taichu Emperor Sword with his fingers, and the sound of the sword was clear and inspiring: "How can this not be hope? Your Majesty, we didn't have the strength to fight back then. In the Longhan era, there were only a few powerful emperors among the acquired creatures. In the Chiming era, the Ming Emperor was able to fight outside the Nantian Gate. In the Shanghuang era, Lingyue shook the foundation of the Heavenly Court. In the Kaihuang era, Wuyou Township made the Ten Tianzuns unable to sleep or eat. And in this Yankang era, Your Majesty, we can already compete with the Heavenly Court."
Taichu's eyes fell on the Emperor Sword in his hand, and he said slowly: "You post-natal creatures are really insects. No matter how hard you try, you can never be killed. Instead, you come back to life again and again, each time stronger than the last. However, you no longer have a chance."
He looked at the Divine Consciousness Daluo Heaven, sighed, and said: "The Tao of Taichu is divided into the innate Qi and the Divine Consciousness. Taichu became the Tao and turned into the Taichu Daluo Heaven, which is divided into the Qi Daluo Heaven and the Divine Consciousness Daluo Heaven. I need your death to become the Tao of Taichu."
A vertical eye between his eyebrows slowly opened, revealing a crystal-clear Taichu original stone, which was missing half. He smiled and said, "After you die, the two Daluotian will merge, and I will be the real Taichu."
"Your Majesty, I feel the same way."
Yun Tianzun smiled slightly, and the vertical eye between his eyebrows slowly opened to the sides, revealing a piece of Taichu raw stone. He smiled and said, "If your majesty dies in my hands, I can use your majesty's Yiqi Daluotian to achieve Taichu enlightenment. Your majesty has the Taichu flesh body, and I have the Taichu Emperor Sword. Who will win is still unknown!"
Taichu's pupils suddenly shrank. The Taichu raw stone between Yun Tianzun's eyebrows was exactly the raw stone he had been looking for in vain!
At that time, Taidi's body was smashed to pieces in the Chaos Sea formed by the Chaos Ore Vein, and the raw stone fell into the Chaos Sea. The Heavenly Masters went to look for the raw stone, but no one got it!
Taichu entered the Chaos Sea more than once to look for the whereabouts of the original stone, but the original stone seemed to have grown wings and disappeared without a trace.
He didn't know that the raw stone was obtained by Xu Shenghua, who brought the raw stone to the Black Mountain Holy Land and comprehended the primordial way contained in the raw stone together with Lan Yutian. Both of them gained a lot.
Not long ago, Yun Tianzun came to the Black Mountain Holy Land to study. Lan Yutian taught him a new cultivation system. Xu Shenghua learned that he had obtained the Great Emperor's Divine Consciousness Daluotian, so he gave him the Taichu Original Stone, allowing him to master the power of the Divine Consciousness Daluotian.
Yun Tianzun planted this raw stone between his eyebrows. With this raw stone, it was much easier for him to activate his spiritual consciousness to Daluotian. He could easily mobilize the power of the Dao tree and Dao fruit in Daluotian.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know why Lord Mu Tian insisted that I go to the Black Mountain Holy Land. I learned a lot in the Black Mountain Holy Land. In addition to the new cultivation system, I also got this raw stone. More importantly, Kaihuang Qinye is also in the Black Mountain!"
Yun Tianzun shook the Taichu Emperor Sword, his face solemn, his eyes fixed on the tip of the sword: "In the Longhan era, in addition to pretending to be Mu Tianzun, I also pretended to be Kaihuang. In the early years of Longhan, I caught a glimpse of them and comprehended their magical powers from their battles. I can learn their magical powers and Taoist methods vividly, making them indistinguishable from the real ones! In the Black Mountain Holy Land, with the personal guidance of Kaihuang, the number one swordsman, the power of the Taichu Emperor Sword in my hands may exceed your majesty's imagination!"
Swoosh——
Yun Tianzun swung his sword, and the tip of the Taichu Emperor Sword pointed diagonally downwards. Behind him, purple air filled the sky, dyeing his spiritual consciousness into an unparalleled realm as if it were made of purple jade.
"Mu Tianzun insisted that I go to Black Mountain because he knows that I am the person with the strongest learning and imitation ability in history! I am also the only one who can imitate Kaihuang's supreme swordsmanship to 70% or 80% in a short period of time!"
An unparalleled sharp sword force surged out from him, invincible!
In the Daluo world, suddenly layers of sword paths spread out from all over the heavens, forming a protective force!
At the same time, the heavens transformed from the layers of divine consciousness merged with the heavens of swordsmanship to make up for his shortcomings in the swordsmanship!
The combination of the two kinds of heavens is more powerful!
"Your Majesty, please—"
