Chapter 176: True Spaceship, Supreme Titan!
Chapter 176: True Spaceship, Supreme Titan!
Many things, Shaohua knew, but she couldn't casually reveal them.
The resplendent sword light, supreme divine might, cleaved through the eternal sky, severing the past, present, and future.
It was the power of time, the transformation of space, the passage of ages. Spanning the vast expanse of time, it still radiated supreme greatness.
In the desolate wasteland, a solitary sword cut through the ages, solely to protect the homeland from devastation.
This was the sword of an Immortal Emperor, like a beacon of light, directly illuminating Shaohua's path forward.
A single sword light pierced the heavens; why require thousands of scriptures?
The end of the path lay right there, visible, attainable, and achievable!
"How could I let Huáng walk alone ahead?" Shaohua said.
She felt that one day, she would be able to follow in his footsteps.
This was a confidence and pride that would surely become a reality in the future.
For over ten thousand years, Shaohua had thoroughly consolidated her realm, observing that single sword light, which pushed her cultivation to new heights.
Of course, she couldn't fully comprehend it now, and she couldn't reach that level, but she could use the sword light to cleanse and refine herself, practicing in this manner.
This was naturally very effective, but also extremely harsh.
The sword light was a remnant of Huáng's solitary cut through the ages, a manifestation of his great path, containing the immortal might of the ultimate level.
Even a mere trace, devoid of hostility, was beyond the reach of ordinary Immortal Kings. Otherwise, how could they resist the dark invasion from the Boundary Sea?
Shaohua, experiencing just a wisp of the scattered sword light, nearly perished, her form nearly dissolving, her soul essence almost being refined into the laws of the universe.
She took a deep breath, having narrowly escaped destruction several times. It was indeed very dangerous.
This also made her realize that this was truly a place to temper an invincible body, provided she could survive and not end up buried here.
Huáng's sword was too dominant, capable of disintegrating the form and spirit of dark beings, crushing them into dust, leaving them no place to rest.
Shaohua had witnessed the fall of an Immortal King, who turned to ashes merely by getting slightly closer.
Compared to the tangible dam below, the invisible sword ahead was the true protective barrier. As long as Huáng himself remained unharmed, the power of that sword would never fade.
"Is there a great enemy outside? Can I go out and fight?" Shaohua's eyes flashed with determination.
She didn't know if Huáng's solitary cut through the ages separated the two sides or if one could leave but not enter, but she felt she could cross over.
This had nothing to do with strength; even if she were incredibly powerful, she still couldn't surpass an Immortal Emperor.
It was just an intuition; the sword light was harmless to her and wouldn't block her.
However, she wouldn't move easily until she had been fully tempered by the sword light.
Shaohua sat for ten thousand years, quietly observing the sword light. The only time she stood up was to bid farewell to a close friend.
Heng Ren's path was not here; forcing it would only lead to the destruction of both form and spirit.
After that, she also recalled Wan Qing's suggestion, re-entering the Lifesoil and dividing the grand curtain into thirty-three layers of heavens, each more difficult to enter than the last, until reaching the true realm beyond the heavens.
She felt the future would be challenging, so she spared no effort in setting up simulations of dark invasions in the middle three layers.
The Immortal King's intervention was extraordinary, with each layer representing a different level of difficulty, ensuring that every cultivator in the Spirit Realm would have a practical experience.
Yes, the template was naturally based on the Dark Sovereign.
However, this made the grand curtain seem like a large-scale real-life online game.
The Heaven-Piercing Pagoda was a battlefield for honing individual skills, and the Azure Firmament List ranked various geniuses and powerhouses.
Now, dividing into thirty-three layers of heavens was essentially encouraging cultivators to level up and clear stages, with the specially arranged dark invasions mirroring the concept of monster sieges.
"Interesting. I might as well not limit it to those three layers. Accumulate strength periodically, break through other curtains, and give them a small taste of darkness." Shaohua's lips curved into a sly smile.
It was time to toughen up the cultivators of the Three Realms.
Those emperors and kings, especially Wu Shi and Ye Fan, were none of them easy to handle.
Without external threats, internal conflicts would inevitably arise.
The ancient kings, the primordial emperors, and the Supreme Sovereigns of the Bizarre World, all came from different places but coexisted in the same heavenly court.
When external conflicts were resolved, internal contradictions would surface, leading to division. This was an inevitable outcome.
Now, she relied on her own prestige and strength to keep them in check.
Otherwise, with so many powerful cultivators crammed into the small Three Realms, they would have long been at each other's throats.
"Blocking is not as effective as guiding. While the Three Realms will remain stable as long as I am here, the pool is too small, and the water too shallow, confining them like dragons in a pond."
Shaohua's eyes shone brightly as she murmured to herself, "I am here for the well-being of all, maintaining the peace of the Three Realms, but I have no intention of confining them. It's time to release the dragons back into the sea."
She acted on her thoughts, putting her plan into action.
With her close friend traveling alone, she temporarily had no interest in continuing her secluded cultivation.
The path of cultivation required a balance of intensity and relaxation. Intense cultivation could sometimes be counterproductive, and a change of pace might bring unexpected new insights.
On her return journey, she passed through a broken universe, and with a thought, she stopped, using her great power and skill to refine it into a true "spaceship."
Refining the universe into a vessel, transforming the sky into an array, and containing the essence of the cosmos, it underwent thousands of years of refinement, enduring countless celestial calamities.
This spaceship would be the best vehicle for traversing the vast Chaos.
The boundless Chaos was immense, and even with the spaceship's incredible speed, it would take a considerable time to return to the Three Realms through the void.
Shaohua wasn't in a rush to return. She calmly boarded the spaceship and set off on her journey back, leaving behind numerous cosmic coordinates along the way.
"Buzz~~~"
Outside the Three Realms, a loud rumble echoed.
The entire world trembled slightly, as vast rules of the universe spread, like a giant wielding a divine axe, reopening the cosmos.
Many powerful figures' faces changed, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.
Outside the world, a true spaceship was docked.
It was vast and indestructible, radiating the mists of Chaos.
"Damn, a spaceship!" When Ye Fan saw Shaohua's vehicle, his eyes, after hundreds of thousands of years, once again reflected a certain kind of innocent stupidity.
Not just a ship, but a true spaceship, huh?
Wan Qing tried to touch it, but the ship's spirit ignored him, only accepting Shaohua's commands.
"Sis!"
Wu Shi, seeing the graceful green figure, was overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling in his eyes. Seeing his sister open her arms, he prepared to embrace her deeply.
But Shaohua left him with a faint afterimage, instantly diving into the Western Sovereign's embrace, emphasizing their mother-daughter bond.
Wu Shi felt like crying but held back, quietly retreating to a dark corner, turning his back to the world, needing a moment to himself.
"Off, off, that's my wife, don't hug her so tightly."
Wu Ning, seeing his daughter ignore him and hug her mother tightly, felt a pang of jealousy and tried to assert his authority as a father.
Most importantly, he had never hugged his wife so tightly.
Was that appropriate?
No, it wasn't!
Hearing this, Shaohua released one hand but kept the other around her mother's slender waist.
She lifted her head slightly, a charming smile playing on her lips, her phoenix eyes half-closed, with a hint of challenge.
As if to say, so what if I hugged her?
"..."
Wu Ning willingly moved to the side, and the father and son exchanged glances, sighing in unison, creating a scene of snowflakes falling and the north wind howling, a picture of sorrow and desolation.
On this day, the Eastern Sovereign returned, and Tai Yi Tian Di made her way back to the loyal Huanggu Heavenly Court. All the beings welcomed her with utmost sincerity, their vibrant energy and the thriving spirit of countless lives creating an overwhelming atmosphere.
“Tai Yi Tian Di, we adore you!”
“Heaven has but one sun, the earth carries all directions, and the supreme ruler of the universe is none other than the Eastern Sovereign!”
The chorus of voices shook the heavens and the earth, forming a stormy sea of sound, marking a great upheaval in the cosmos.
Shaohua chuckled, never imagining that she would be greeted with such adulation.
However, she could sense that these people were genuinely here to welcome her. In a sense, they were all her devoted followers.
By now, the Spirit Realm had become integral to the cultivation of all beings, providing a path to the heavens even for small sects and solitary cultivators. This meant that Shaohua was constantly manifesting her divinity before the people.
She smiled, her gaze sweeping over everyone, and her body emitted a gentle radiance. The light of dawn and auspicious colors rained down like a shower.
At this moment, exclamations of surprise filled the air as everyone received some benefit. Some found their hidden injuries healed, others saw their weapons and armor refined, and still others experienced sudden enlightenment, breaking through their current realms on the spot.
“Who arranged this?”
After entering the Heavenly Court, Shaohua turned her head and asked somewhat helplessly, already picturing the mischievous figure of a certain idea king in her mind.
Liunián and Ming Yuanxin, who served by her side, did not hesitate to betray Wan Qing.
No matter how much a Qing Emperor or a proxy of the Heavenly Court meant, it was nothing compared to the person they revered as a “mother.”
Fortunately, no trouble had been caused, so Shaohua did not hold it against Wan Qing.
“Celestial Emperor!”
The emperors and sovereigns of the Heavenly Court called out in unison, their voices shaking the Three Realms.
The former Eastern Sovereign, now the Celestial Emperor, had returned after achieving the Immortal King realm, truly a figure of unparalleled grace!
More than 800,000 years had passed, yet she remained astonishingly young, her flowing robes fluttering gracefully as she stood beneath the stars, encircled by rivers of starlight, appearing serene and detached from the world.
On this day, Shaohua delivered a sermon in the Huanggu Heavenly Court.
There was no such thing as keeping secrets; her clear and melodious voice, like celestial music, spread through the Heavenly Court and across the Three Realms, even reaching the beings within the Spirit Realm.
She shared her insights on the Secret Realm Art, starting from the Sea of Wheels and gradually delving deeper into the Dao Palace, Four Poles, Dragon Metamorphosis, and Immortal Platform, finally pausing after reaching the realm of becoming an emperor.
This was her way of preaching to all beings and spreading the Dao.
No one remained unmoved, even the emperors and sovereigns gained new understandings of their previous realms.
Though she had become an Immortal King and charted her own path, her lofty perspective still made her insights on the Secret Realm Art unparalleled in the world.
For the next hundred years, all the powerful clans in the Small Immortal Domain came to pay homage, meeting the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court, and the calls of adulation never ceased.
Three hundred years later, Shaohua once again delivered a sermon in the Heavenly Court.
This time, her words did not spread to the Three Realms, as she spoke about the Dao above the Supreme Sovereigns.
Every emperor and sovereign listened intently, knowing that she would soon delve into the realm of immortality!
This was also a gift from Shaohua to her followers.
Why did they follow her?
Because she truly shared the benefits!
Moreover, she was always the first to step forward when it mattered.
Even more surprising was Di Zun, who, after nearly 400,000 years, returned from a fragment of his soul and chose to cultivate the Destined Land Art without hesitation. This marked his complete break from his former self.
Soon after, the spaceship carrying the emperors and sovereigns set sail, accompanied by their descendants and disciples, as well as numerous prodigies.
“With this departure, the dragon will swim in the vast sea, and the great roc will soar through the skies. The realms will witness a great transformation never seen before!” Shaohua watched them leave.
“I should be on my way too.” Ye Fan did not travel with them but chose to go alone in the Nine Dragon Coffin.
Shaohua did not leave immediately. Using the power of an Immortal King, she reshaped the Three Realms, ensuring its orderly operation.
After all, this was her homeland, her starting point.
She also refined the Donghuang Bell and the Taiyi Wheel, transforming them from mundane objects into near-Immortal King artifacts.
Immortal King artifacts were beyond reach due to their inferior materials.
In the Spirit Realm, Shaohua sat opposite her faith avatar, handing over the Donghuang Bell and the Taiyi Wheel.
“From now on, you are both the Eastern Sovereign and Tai Yi Tian Di.” She said.
“I am the Eastern Sovereign, and I am Taiyi.”
The faith avatar’s eyes flashed with insight, and she murmured, “I am the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi!”
Shaohua nodded, smiling brightly.
All the strong figures of the Three Realms had left, but the homeland still needed a guardian. Her faith avatar was the best protector.
In a desperate situation, the faith avatar could merge with the Three Realms, harnessing the accumulated faith over hundreds of thousands of years to temporarily unleash the power of an Immortal King.
She took one last look at the Three Realms, then soared into the sky with her mother and Wu Shi.
Indeed, the two chose to accompany her. Wu Shi wanted to see the Dam World, while the Western Sovereign simply wished to spend more time with her child.
As for the old father and Wu Shi’s children, they had boarded the spaceship to explore the realms.
Shaohua returned to the dam, where she had refined herself with sword light for over ten thousand years, reaching a peak.
At the same time, the wisdom sparks from the beings in the Spirit Realm illuminated her heart.
She sensed that more and more beings were beginning to cultivate the Destined Land Art.
As the creator of a great Dao, she bore the grand fortune of heaven and earth.
She underwent another transformation, reaching the pinnacle of the Immortal King realm.
