Chapter 198: Mother of Two, Shaohua’s Refinement

Boom!

Inside the Chaos Pearl, two figures—one green and one white—were locked in fierce combat. Their lithe and slender bodies clashed, sending ripples of Chaos Qi surging, yet the fundamental laws of the universe remained unshaken.

After all, this was only a half-Immortal Emperor Artifact, and the two combatants, at most Quasi-Immortal King Stage cultivators, were far from being able to shake it.

Shaohua stood by with a faint smile, watching the two young women battle with keen interest.

Who doesn’t enjoy watching a good fight between girls?

She was no exception.

"Amazing, really amazing!" A girl holding a snow-white Kirin exclaimed from within the Chaos Domain.

"They are no ordinary True Immortals; they must be very close to the Immortal King realm. This intense exchange might just be a friendly sparring match", Phoenix Girl said.

Everyone looked at the chaotic scene, finding it hard to believe that this was merely a sparring session, more like a warm-up than a true battle.

These Immortal Ancient Exiles had been saved by Shaohua and hidden in the Lifesoil, awakening after countless eons. However, they could not integrate into the present world, unable to bear the cost.

After all, Shaohua wasn’t yet a true Immortal Empress, and saving them was already her limit; she couldn’t casually reverse time and alter the canvas of the years.

Ye Qingxian’s body glowed, and she raised her hand, pointing a finger. An invisible ripple spread out, causing the fabric of space-time to tear, with all things withering.

Ying Wu'an was prepared, and countless runes floated around her. A burst of divine light radiated from her, summoning the power of an Immortal Tribulation.

"Stop holding back. Sparring is pointless. I’ve long wanted to have a real battle with you!" Ye Qingxian’s eyes shone with battle spirit, and she donned a suit of battle armor, looking valiant and spirited.

"Agreed!" Ying Wu'an nodded calmly, her demeanor as serene and otherworldly as a celestial maiden, cold and refined.

With that person around, there was no need to worry about going too far. They could use all their most powerful techniques.

She raised her right hand and formed a sword seal, pushing it forward. Instantly, a sharp beam of divine light shot out, a world-shattering sword qi rising to form a celestial sword.

The celestial sword was unparalleled, initially simple and ancient, but as her delicate hand pushed it forward, it burst with heavenly light, like a divine rainbow slicing through the air.

Strands of cold light flickered, representing order, rules, and the fundamental laws of the universe, slicing through the chaos and obliterating everything, radiating with unparalleled brilliance.

Ye Qingxian’s expression changed slightly, not expecting such a powerful move right from the start. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a brilliant light as she dispersed the Chaos Qi and shot out a radiant beam.

In that moment, her aura was completely different, like an Empress surveying the world, her presence overwhelming all realms.

She stepped through the void, her body radiating auspicious light, forming ripples that resonated like bell waves.

These ripples seemed gentle but produced a deafening sound, a heavenly resonance of the fundamental laws.

Boom!

The celestial sword and the bell waves collided, and the impact shook the heavens and earth.

The bell waves were flattened, and the celestial sword dimmed. The two powerful attacks canceled each other out, evenly matched.

Both women were equally breathtaking, their beauty and prowess rare. With no elders watching and no audience, they fought with all their might, the battle growing even more intense.

In their hands, the techniques of Shaohua, Heng Ren, Wu Shi, and Ye Fan were used to the fullest, tearing the sky apart and shattering the star seas.

Various spells and techniques intertwined, with brilliant celestial swords clashing, causing waves in space-time, and powerful punches and palm strikes shattering the void.

The Immortal Ancient Exiles, unable to see clearly, were deeply impressed. It was only with Shaohua’s intervention that they could continue watching.

As for Shaohua herself, her expression grew increasingly strange, even a bit amused.

"These two little girls are quite wild, aren’t they?"

The young girl from the Ye family, who claimed to admire her the most, used Heng Ren’s techniques in battle, exuding a domineering aura, almost like a second Heng Ren.

Wu Shi’s descendant, her great-granddaughter, usually cold and aloof, seemed like a replica of Heng Ren but, in battle, was more like her.

"Fascinating. Their personalities and main techniques are completely opposite. Only focusing on techniques without imitating people is good; otherwise, they’d just become another me or Heng Ren", Shaohua murmured to herself, quickly seeing through them.

Ye Qingxian’s personality was like Shaohua’s, appearing carefree and unrestrained on the surface but with a hint of dominance, specializing in Heng Ren’s techniques.

Ying Wu'an’s personality was like Heng Ren’s, cold and distant but with a warm heart, specializing in the Destined Land Art created by Shaohua.

The only similarity was that neither of them specialized in their grandfathers’ techniques, a bit of rebellion that had once made Ye Fan and Wu Shi quite uncomfortable.

Family ties can be so unpredictable!

Of course, Wu Shi and Ye Fan had no idea their beloved descendants were engaged in such a fierce battle, or they would have been heartbroken.

"Fight!"

Ye Qingxian and Ying Wu'an glanced at each other, almost in unison, and shouted. They fought hundreds of rounds, giving it their all, reaching their limits.

Their green and white garments were stained with blood, painting a vivid and chaotic scene.

This peak battle lasted for centuries, a long and enduring conflict.

The two women were truly remarkable, not only mastering the techniques of their predecessors but also forging their own paths, even moving Shaohua.

They had truly let go of everything, using all their skills, pushing beyond their limits, and ultimately finding their own paths, breaking free from their constraints and achieving the Immortal King realm simultaneously.

This was an unprecedented miracle!

Though their appearance was a bit disheveled, with tangled hair, disheveled clothes, and even bite marks, it was clear they had fought with all their might, leaving no power unused.

Fortunately, only Shaohua was left to watch the final moments, ensuring their reputations remained intact.

There was no lightning or tribulation in the Chaos Pearl.

Shaohua appeared, taking the two unconscious girls and carefully healing them, leaving no lingering effects.

When they awoke, the world would gain two more Immortal Kings.

"Don’t apprentices take care of their master? Why am I the one taking care of you?" Shaohua pinched their delicate cheeks.

"I’ll take care of them", Liunian said, wearing a palace gown.

"It’s Mother Crow. Let me take care of those two girls!" Ming Yuanxin giggled, covering her mouth.

As the spirit of the Worldly Sword, this title was fitting.

Only Shaohua, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but hold her forehead, a mix of amusement and exasperation.

At just over two million years old, she was already a mother of two. What a bittersweet story.

"Eastern Sovereign, we’re here to see you!"

A little white tiger ran over, her eyes lighting up at the sight of Shaohua, transforming into a human form.

A petite and delicate girl with fair skin, bright eyes, and a small nose, she pounced into Shaohua’s arms.

Soon, Ren Ran and Lan Ling arrived, and the gathering of various celestial maidens was a feast for the eyes.

Shaohua, the Supreme Dao Ancestor, personally guided them, extracting the essence of creation, explaining the fundamental laws, and providing one-on-one instruction.

All the female cultivators, at most Immortal Kings, benefited greatly, their cultivation increasing significantly.

"Go and cultivate. How far you go depends on yourselves", Shaohua said earnestly.

Though she said this, knowing the path ahead and having guidance and support, they could boldly explore without fear of mishaps, a rare and invaluable opportunity.

They would surely achieve more and contribute to the protection of the universe in the future.

As the relatives of a Celestial Emperor, this was their honor and blessing, as well as their responsibility and duty.

After quelling the most terrifying Dark Turmoil in history, the name Tai Yi Tian Di echoed through the heavens, known to all, becoming an eternal legend.

However, Shaohua rarely appeared, only touring the heavens with her mother before retreating to the Immortal Mountain in the mortal world to cultivate, healing her body and guiding her loved ones.

Years passed, decades, centuries, and millennia.

Time flowed, and it was already tens of thousands of years later. During this period, she had manifested avatars to spread the Dao and teach in the heavens, hoping to make more people stronger.

The remaining bizarre and Voidborn Entities in the heavens were cleared out, all eliminated, leaving no lingering threats, and the world was at peace.

Finally, Shaohua healed all her injuries and was ready to take the final step.

However, she felt a faint unease.

When she had eliminated the bizarre Dao Ancestors, she learned that the Sinister Race’s ancestor had been awakened, speaking of a great change in the world.

The Soul River, the Ancient Netherworld, the Celestial Emperor’s burial site, and the Four Poles Floating Earth, the four outposts, were filled with Dao Ancestors because the Sinister Race was searching for this change.

Moreover, the memory fragments of the bizarre Dao Ancestors mentioned that "Desolate" had been eternally silenced by the ancestor.

This made Shaohua realize that her arrival might have already altered the course of the world.

The great change was likely her!

And "Desolate" seemed to have encountered trouble much earlier, possibly due to her presence.

This weighed heavily on Shaohua. She didn’t know if "Desolate" was truly in trouble, but even if the main character was resilient, his condition must be dire.

"Don’t let things become worse because of my arrival", Shaohua sighed, feeling troubled.

She thought it over and decided not to dwell on self-doubt, needing to have confidence in herself.

No matter how bad things got, could it be worse than the original timeline?

"Sinister Ancestors, The Plateau’s will, I’ll crush you all and scatter your ashes!" Shaohua clenched her teeth, her eyes shining with determination.

However, the situation wasn’t yet so dire. She didn’t want to act rashly and decided to refine weapons, arm herself, and change her mood.

When faced with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle, the path will become clear. She couldn’t let fear overwhelm her.

At her current level, breakthroughs required a catalyst, and mere hard work was no longer enough.

Shaohua decided to refine weapons, traversing the heavens and the Boundary Sea, gathering all the useful materials from the four outposts.

Boom!

The fundamental laws of the universe burned, melting various mother metals, and she inscribed countless Dao patterns, refining a celestial bell and a treasure wheel.

She was practicing, remaking the Donghuang Bell and the Taiyi Wheel.

Both Quasi-Immortal Emperor Weapons now carried parts of her Dao, making them truly worthy of their names.

More precisely, the Donghuang Bell embodied the essence of the Mortal Realm, holding it made one as if permanently in the Mortal Realm, immune to evil and invulnerable to all spells.

The Taiyi Wheel embodied the essence of Feather Ascension, acting as a physical manifestation of her fourteen-colored sword wheel, unmatched in offensive power.

One defensive, one offensive, they complemented each other perfectly.

Afterward, Shaohua began refining her true desired artifact, ultimately choosing to create a great banner.

She hoped that if something happened to her, others would see this banner and continue forward.

Boom!

The heavens resonated, and the fundamental laws echoed. Shaohua refined her artifact, the sounds of scriptures and incantations filling the heavens.

At her current level, she could confidently call herself a Supreme Dao Ancestor, just a step away from the Path’s End.

At this level, once a being refined an artifact perfectly suited to them, the scene was unimaginable, far surpassing the earlier refinement of the bell and wheel.

She deconstructed the Imperial Dao Flag, re-refining and cleansing it, using the finest essences to reshape the raw materials, inscribing countless Dao patterns, and putting in unimaginable effort and heart.

The entire process was astonishing, with strange phenomena surging for days.

After ten thousand years, the phenomena gradually faded, and Shaohua held a spear and a map in her hands.

Still, the Imperial Dao Flag in two parts.

Even the Imperial Dao Pike and the Imperial Dao Atlas, when used separately, were genuine supreme Dao artifacts, and when combined, their power was unimaginable.

"Now is not the time to combine them. I will refine each part separately, nurturing them with my Dao Fruit. When the time comes, I will combine them, reaching the Path’s End and becoming an Empress!" Shaohua said to herself, her eyes gleaming with ambition.

She began to nurture them, using her essence blood to refine the Imperial Dao Pike and the Civilization Flame to refine the Imperial Dao Atlas.

Afterward, Shaohua, holding the Golden Scripture Jade Tablets, once again opened the Great Curtain, spreading the Spirit Realm throughout the heavens, benefiting all beings.

She also refined a set of extremely dangerous forbidden artifacts from the remains of the bizarre Dao Ancestors, casting them into the dark Chaos Pearl.
