Chapter 133: The All-Knowing Bystander and the Masters (Thanks to Bai Shu's Mengzhu for the generous donation, deeply moved)

After wiping out the notorious Killer Divine Dynasty that had plagued the world for years, Wushi and Wan Qing, along with the Great Sage of Yaochi, headed to the Central Continent to capture the Dragonline Spirit.

These two were always men of their word.

"Who are you?" a voice echoed from within the dragonline.

"We bring you a great opportunity", Wushi said, standing with his hands behind his back, his tone casual.

At twenty, he had already attained sainthood, his white robes exuding an aura of invincibility and pride.

"The divine essence within the dragonline is about to transform into a dreamlike spirit. It's better than the ordinary stone-born spirits. Sending it to Liunian will help cleanse its malevolent thoughts, benefiting future generations", Wan Qing added.

He wore a green robe, his beauty ethereal, his eyes reflecting the image of the universe's creation, his gaze wise, as if he could see through the existence within the dragonline.

As they grew, they had finally shed the androgynous beauty of their youth. The days when they were mistaken for young maidens, like the Holy Maidens of Yaochi, were long gone.

"Divine Illusion Annihilation, Sands of the Ganges, I am the Eternal Emperor!" the Dragonline Spirit seemed to be provoked, its still-naive will shouting these words.

Wushi and Wan Qing both shook their heads. How could a spirit so far from perfection dare to say such things?

There was nothing more to discuss. The Immortal Bell rang, and the Lacrimal Jade Tower awakened, forcefully capturing the Dragonline Spirit and all the spirit jade essences.

The Immortal Bell brought them back to the Immortal Mountain. When the Dragonline Spirit saw Liunian's grand presence, it was shocked and dared not resist.

Saints are nurtured by heaven and earth, their nature a mix of good and evil, with an inherent pride that looks down on all other beings.

Many are forced to emerge prematurely, carrying resentment and unwillingness, making most of them a menace to the world.

Of course, the Spirit Race is scarce, and they have a sense of kinship with their own kind. They are especially willing to submit to those closest to perfection and with noble origins.

Liunian, delighted, offered a Ginseng Fruit and many Enlightenment Teas. These items, which Wushi already possessed, he passed on to the Great Sage who had secretly protected him.

With matters in the Beidou Star Region settled, Wushi and Wan Qing set out on the Starfield Ancient Road, agreeing to part ways and take different paths.

Wushi naturally chose the Human Ancient Road, following in the footsteps of his parents and sister; while Wan Qing traveled between the Beast Ancient Road and other paths.

Different roads, but the same relentless advancement!

No one could stand against them. They swept through all their enemies, leaving countless legends in their wake as they pushed deep into the starfield, their names echoing across the celestial domains.

The emergence of these two figures dimmed the light of all other geniuses, young and old, who could only look up in awe at their brilliance.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting their confrontation, unaware that they had already clashed multiple times in the Beidou, each battle ending in a draw.

In the end, they both reached the end of the ancient road, meeting again before the Emperor's Gate. The clash was inevitable.

The battle shook the heavens and earth, with no clear victor. Then, in the midst of the fight, they both broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, pausing to agree on a rematch.

They thus set a stunning record, achieving the Quasi-Emperor realm in less than two hundred years, a feat so rapid and incredible that it defied belief.

During this time, both had gathered a group of followers.

Most had joined of their own accord, but only a few truly caught their attention.

They were so powerful that no one could match them, so who could truly follow them?

Conversely, those who could keep up were already supreme geniuses, or they wouldn't even have the thought to follow.

Among the few who could truly converse with Wushi was one who was not of this era.

His name was Lu Ren, with short hair and a square face, not particularly imposing, but with a unique spirit.

Most importantly, he had met the Eastern Emperor, whose grandfather had been involved in the founding of the Yaochi Holy Land. Lu Ren had witnessed the Eastern Emperor’s enlightenment and even married a holy maiden from Yaochi, forming a deep connection.

This was why Wushi recognized him and allowed him to follow.

"Pursuing the path of the strong is to witness their unparalleled might. In this world, only these two can achieve enlightenment!"

Lu Ren, awakened by his descendants, emerged from the Divine Source, following Wushi and Wan Qing as they both broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm during their battle, his excitement overwhelming.

"Wow, this is so powerful! If I could see their final confrontation before enlightenment, I would die content!"

Wushi and Wan Qing's battle continued for centuries, reaching the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

But then, an unexpected event occurred.

A new master emerged, surpassing Wushi and Wan Qing!

An incredible turn of events, yet it was real, and the world had to accept it.

No one knew where he came from or when he appeared in the starfield. He had been unknown until he suddenly became a Quasi-Emperor.

By the time he was fully revealed, he was already facing the ninth Quasi-Emperor tribulation.

The grand heavenly tribulation shook the world, one of the strongest known, nearly on par with the Emperor’s tribulation.

What a divine miracle, with two extraordinary geniuses already in the world.

Everyone believed that if Wushi and Wan Qing were in different eras, each would have certainly achieved enlightenment and become an emperor.

But in this era, another dark horse emerged, completely unexpected, with no prior signs.

His sudden appearance surpassed all expectations, and his breakthrough speed in the Quasi-Emperor realm even surpassed Wushi and Wan Qing, a true latecomer who rose to the top.

Some bystanders had encountered him, saying they felt a vibrant presence, not some ancient relic, but truly a contemporary figure.

The only mystery was why no one could trace his origins.

A contemporary figure, who had left no trace before becoming a Quasi-Emperor, was a bizarre phenomenon.

"Heaven is truly blind! A world that produces two or three supreme geniuses in a million years, and now all in one era. Whoever fails to achieve enlightenment will be the greatest regret in the history of cultivation!"

An ancient sage on the Starfield Ancient Road sighed deeply, almost weeping, lamenting the ruthless path of enlightenment in this era.

"It is said that the human Wushi is the youngest son of the Western Emperor and the younger brother of the Eastern Emperor, also known as the Great One of the First Sun!"

"Moreover, he possesses the Primordial Sage Body Dao Embryo, a constitution even the Eastern Emperor could not fully inherit. If he achieves enlightenment in this era, he will continue the myth of a family with three emperors!"

Some bystanders had traced Wushi's origins and discovered his true identity.

Some things can be hidden for a time, but not forever.

Wushi's origin from the all-female Yaochi Holy Land had always raised suspicions, with the Great Sage of Yaochi secretly protecting him, and his presence in the Immortal Mountain and his control of the Western Emperor's Pagoda.

His constitution was also guessed, not just a prince, but a perfect blend of his parents' constitutions, known as the Primordial Sage Body Dao Embryo.

This was confirmed by those who had been defeated by him and by the bystanders who had witnessed his battles.

Wushi had demonstrated the invincible physical body of a sage and the near-Dao power of the Primordial Dao Embryo, comparable only to the legendary Chaos Body.

Some hoped that the Primordial Sage Body Dao Embryo could, like the Chaos Body, transcend the limits of enlightenment, even if others had already achieved it.

Others guessed Wan Qing's origins.

"That Wan Qing must have a divine lineage, not an ordinary Azure Lotus Avatar. How else could he contend with the Primordial Sage Body Dao Embryo?"

"Among all lotus species, only the immortal lotus, which disappeared in the mythic era, is the most revered, for it is the Immortality Elixir of Chaos, the Azure Lotus!"

"Yes, Wushi is a prince and possesses the Primordial Sage Body Dao Embryo, a constitution on par with the Chaos Body. Only the Immortality Elixir Avatar can match him!"

Eliminating all other possibilities, the remaining answer, no matter how incredible, had to be the truth.

"Boom!!!!!!!"

The heavenly tribulation shook the world, overwhelming everything, engulfing countless galaxies as if destroying the mortal realm.

"Is this the Emperor's tribulation? It's too terrifying!"

"He's still facing the tribulation. Is he about to achieve enlightenment directly?"

"Even if not, this will push him into the realm of alternative enlightenment!"

People were stunned. Facing two tribulations in succession, he had surpassed Wushi and Wan Qing, a shocking reversal.

Amidst the heavenly punishment and endless lightning, a figure in a black robe stood alone, fiercely battling the Dao, yet appearing composed, as if he could achieve enlightenment at will.

A long cry, immortal light soared to the heavens, a faint shadow of a divine bird spreading its wings, striking across the three thousand worlds.

"Ha ha ha, didn't expect that, did you? This Emperor has returned, transcending the heavens!"

"Ke ke ke, I must thank that damned woman. Her destruction of my body forced me to reincarnate, aligning with my race's rebirth essence. Now, I will walk the path of cultivation again, ready for the final leap, becoming even stronger!"

"It's not the right time yet. Wait a bit longer, continue to transform and become even stronger. This life, I swear to reclaim everything that is mine!"

No one could have imagined that the newly emerged master was the reborn Undying Heaven Sovereign.

In the past, he was outmaneuvered by Shaohua, his body destroyed, and the Immortal Bell stolen, forcing him to barely escape with his soul.

His soul was also severely damaged, and he had no choice but to possess his unborn child, using the method of rebirth to return.

Now, reborn and stronger than ever, he was ready to reclaim his title as the Heaven Sovereign.

But he paused at the final step, choosing an alternative path to enlightenment, not fully taking the last step, desiring further transformation and elevation.
