I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Hou Yi!

The story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun is widely circulated both in Jianghe's "former homeland" and in this world.

He is an "ancient great power" from the ancestral star.

In that era, the Golden Crow Clan still lived on their ancestral planet.

They lived in Tanggu, residing under the Fusang Divine Tree, and maintained a relatively harmonious relationship with the human race... until one day, the ten princes of the Golden Crow Clan appeared in the sky together, transforming into ten great suns, scorching the land, drying up the crops, and causing a terrible natural disaster and drought, which brought unbearable suffering to the people.

When the emperor learned of this, he dispatched Hou Yi to intervene.

Hou Yi, wielding the "Heavenly Sunset Divine Bow," shot down nine princes of the Golden Crow Clan, leaving only the youngest prince to escape with his life... and the one who escaped was none other than "Emperor Lu Ya," who has now died at the hands of Jiang He.

It was for this reason that the Golden Crow Ancestor led the Fusang Divine Tree and his people away from the ancestral star and created the "Golden Crow Ancestor Realm" in the myriad worlds.

Having witnessed a powerful figure from "myth and legend" firsthand, Jiang He had a very peculiar feeling.

When Hou Yi heard that his legend was still circulating in the ancestral star and the Kunlun Realm, he was overjoyed and his face was full of smiles. It was clear that he was trying hard not to laugh out loud. He said, "I never thought that the story of me shooting down nine Golden Crow princes would be told for so many years. I am truly ashamed..."

He sighed and said, "My achievements are nothing. It's just a pity that I was in seclusion when the Ten Clans Alliance attacked Kunlun and didn't know about it. Otherwise, I would have definitely returned to Kunlun and wiped out those bastards from the Ten Clans."

I can tell.

Hou Yi was a very forthright and generous person.

Seeing Jiang He and Hou Yi chatting happily, Dongji Zhenjun was pleased and said, "Jiang He, your master is not good with words. There are some more powerful people coming later. Please greet them on my behalf... Hou Yi will introduce them to you."

"???"

No!

They're going to throw me a welcome banquet, and I'm the one hosting it?
Before he could speak, the Eastern Pole True Lord flashed into the Taoist temple, leaving Jiang He startled.

Hou Yi chuckled upon seeing this, "Emperor Jianghe, please don't mind. Dongji has always been like this... To be honest, I already think it's unprecedented that she would send a message to invite us to a banquet... Just you wait and see, most of the powerful figures in the Xuanhuang Realm will probably come today, after all, this is the first time that True Monarch Dongji has ever invited someone to dinner!"

The two chatted happily.

Jiang He took out the "Sunset Bow of the Celestial Dome" and asked, "Senior Hou Yi, do you recognize this bow?"

"what?"

Hou Yi exclaimed in surprise, "A top-grade holy weapon bow and arrow? This is a replica of my Heavenly Sunset Divine Bow?"

Jiang He explained the origin of the "Sky Dome Sunset Bow" and laughed, "Senior Hou Yi's Sky Dome Sunset Bow is extremely famous in the Kunlun Realm, and there are many imitations... I obtained this Sky Dome Sunset Bow when I was weak. It has been with me for a long time, and I have used it to kill many mortal enemies."

"Later, as my strength grew, I was reluctant to consume the bow. Instead, I sought out a master craftsman from the Weapon Sect to refine it into a top-grade sacred weapon."

"???"

Hou Yi seemed to have heard something extraordinary and asked in surprise, "Eat it?"

Jiang He nodded and said, "Yes... eating them is a way for us body-refining martial artists to improve our cultivation. It's different from yours. For me, consuming and refining weapons and magical treasures is also a way to improve my cultivation."

"........."

Hou Yi remained silent.

He was a martial artist from the era of the Human Emperor, and has been cultivating for tens of millions of years. In the past few years, he has been cultivating in the "Immortal Realm" and has seen countless cultivators from various eras and races, including many supreme emperors who have achieved the status of emperors in terms of physical body!
Some refine various rare and precious materials, cosmic aurora, or even various calamities to enhance their physical strength, while others cultivate special methods by consuming the origin of the world and the core of stars. However, it has never been heard of a body-refining expert "eating weapons and magical treasures".

"how?"

Seeing Hou Yi's expression, Jiang He knew he didn't believe him, so he immediately took out an imperial weapon spear, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed it.

"Ding!"

"Refine the Emperor Weapon, Strength +10 Star Power".

Jiang He smacked his lips and said, "See... I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Hou Yi's eyes widened.

Just a moment ago, Jiang He didn't conceal his aura, so Hou Yi naturally sensed the increase in Jiang He's "blood qi" and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Is it really possible? Jiang He, how did you do that?"

Jiang He took out another top-grade holy weapon and threw it into his mouth, saying, "It's just normal eating... just like a person eating. Once you eat it, it will be digested. Holy weapons and imperial weapons are made of precious materials. The power after digestion will seep into my limbs, internal organs, flesh and bones, which will naturally enhance my strength."

"Of course, everyone's constitution is different. Maybe I have a good stomach, so I digest quickly."

"???"

Hou Yi initially thought these remarks made a lot of sense, but upon closer examination...

Isn't this utter nonsense?

Is eating rice the same as consuming magical artifacts?
He was about to speak when his gaze suddenly shifted, and he looked up into the distance.

But then a dragon chariot appeared in the distance, drawn by six divine dragons at the Great Saint Realm. The chariot was entirely golden, and as it flew, it emitted brilliant golden light, with strange phenomena constantly appearing, turning the night sky into a golden expanse.

An old man sat outside the dragon carriage. The old man had a powerful aura and was at the level of an ancestor.

He was holding a "dragon-beating whip," clearly indicating he was a "steed" of the imperial carriage.

"Who is this?"

Jiang He couldn't help but say, "An ancestor-level being the coachman, with six true dragons pulling the carriage... what a grand spectacle."

"Danzhu, the son of Emperor Yao... This guy has always been like this. He is extremely particular about the extravagance of his clothing, food, housing and transportation. He built a divine city on a plain six million miles away from here, created a country, and proclaimed himself emperor."

Hou Yi said, "This guy is usually very unreliable and loves to show off... If it weren't for that, Emperor Yao wouldn't have passed the throne to Emperor Shun back then."

Danzhu?

Jiang He seems to have heard of this name before.

Before setting off for the "Immortal Realm," he had inquired with Dean An about some of the powerful figures born in ancient times on the ancestral star, and about the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" of the human race.

There is an interesting story about Emperor Yao – his unworthy son!
Legend has it that Emperor Yao had a son named Danzhu. Because Danzhu was unworthy, Yao abdicated the throne to Shun.

According to the "Annals of the Five Emperors":
Yao reigned for 280,000 years before his death, and the people grieved as if they had lost their parents. Yao knew that his son Danzhu was unworthy and unfit to rule the world, so he temporarily entrusted the throne to Shun. If the throne were given to Shun, the world would benefit while Danzhu would suffer; if the throne were given to Danzhu, the world would suffer while Danzhu would benefit.

Yao said, "I will never benefit one person at the expense of the suffering of the world," and in the end, he gave the world to Shun.

After Emperor Yao passed away, Shun abdicated the throne to Danzhu and observed three years of mourning for Yao. Three years later, Danzhu ruled poorly and returned the throne to Shun.

of course.

It's not that Danzhu was a bad person.

On the contrary, this person is also a legend on the ancestral star. He is the founder of "Chess Way" and the earliest "Chess Saint" of the human race, and is revered as "Emperor Danzhu".

As they approached the mountain range where the Taoist temple was located, the dragon chariot slowed down. Six divine dragons roared, their cries shaking the heavens, pulling the chariot as it circled in the sky.

Jiang He: "..."

Hou Yi was speechless and said, "That's too pretentious... This guy captured six Dragon Emperors to pull their chariots back then, but he was captured by the Ancestral Dragon a few years later and only released the six Dragon Emperors after being beaten up."

"He took a different approach, finding six disillusioned young dragons from the dragon clan, nurturing them, and helping them cultivate to the Great Sage realm. Only then did he acquire the divine dragon chariot... He's about to descend!"

Wow!

In the golden light of the sky, petals suddenly began to fall.

Then another burst of celestial music began to play.

The dragon carriage landed amidst the flower petals and stopped outside the Taoist temple.

The "ancestor-level" figure riding the chariot jumped down and proclaimed loudly, "Emperor Danzhu has arrived..."

Danzhu sat in the dragon carriage, bowed slightly, but did not dismount.

Jiang He looked at Hou Yi and asked curiously, "Senior Hou Yi, why doesn't he get off the chariot?"

Hou Yi chuckled and said, "You didn't come out to greet him, so how could he dismount from his carriage?"

"what?"

Jiang He said with a dark face, "You still want me to go and greet them?"

Given his personality, he naturally wouldn't want to greet such a pretentious person... but considering that Danzhu was invited by his master, the True Lord of the Eastern Pole, he had to give him the respect he deserved, so he immediately stepped out of the Taoist temple.

On the dragon carriage, Danzhu, dressed in a long robe embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, sensed that Jianghe was coming out to greet him. Only then did he lift the curtain of the dragon carriage and step down.

"I apologize for not being able to greet Senior Teitan Zhu properly."

Jiang He clasped his hands in a gesture of respect as a junior and said, "Jiang He, a junior of the human race, greets Senior Di Danzhu."

"Jianghe?"

Danzhu had obviously heard of Jiang He's reputation. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked Jiang He up and down and said, "You are the one hailed as having the strongest body-refining talent in all the ages, unparalleled in history?"

Jiang He was taken aback.

He couldn't help but laugh, feeling that Danzhu had become much taller and more handsome. He laughed and said, "Senior Danzhu, you flatter me. I have only achieved some minor success in body refinement... I have simply been more diligent in my cultivation than others. I am not worthy of such a high reputation!"

Danzhu said, "I heard that you are not yet thirty years old this year, and you have already achieved 'invincible' combat power in less than ten years of body cultivation. You have killed the ten clans and fled in disarray. You even killed Lu Ya, the youngest son of the Golden Crow Elder. If you do not deserve such a reputation, who in the myriad realms throughout history can?"

Jiang He's lips curled up involuntarily.

He invited Di Danzhu into the Taoist temple. Along the way, the two exchanged pleasantries and compliments, which made Hou Yi's forehead veins bulge and his fists harden!

"correct."

"When did Fellow Daoist Jianghe arrive in the Immortal Realm?"

After a brief exchange of compliments, the two addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," their gazes filled with mutual appreciation, as if they had found kindred spirits.

Jiang He said, "I just arrived today and was ambushed by Lei Gong and Jinwu. Fortunately, my master arrived in time and scared away the Jinwu Ancestor."

Danzhu: "Your master?"

Jiang He laughed and said, "When I was in the Kunlun Realm, I accidentally entered the [White Horse Mysterious Light Heaven] and received the inheritance of my master, the Eastern Pole True Man."

Danzhu suddenly realized: "No wonder the Eastern Pole True Lord suddenly held a banquet, it was to welcome you back... Wait, Fellow Daoist Jianghe, aren't you a body cultivator? And according to the information I have, you are skilled in fist and sword techniques... How did you become the Eastern Pole True Lord's disciple?"

Jiang He scratched the back of his head, smiled憨厚ly, and said, "Fellow Daoist Danzhu... to be honest, in addition to body tempering, sword practice, and fist practice, I also practice swordsmanship for an hour every day."

At this point, Jiang He gave a bitter smile and sighed, "Unfortunately... my talent is limited and my aptitude is poor. I have been practicing swordsmanship for an hour every day for five years, but I have only barely mastered the seventh level of the 'Sword Nine Techniques' left by my master."

Danzhu paused for a moment.

Sword 7?

The name of the Eastern Pole True Lord’s “Sword Nine Techniques” is extremely famous. Once you master the seventh level of the sword technique, you can kill an ordinary Great Emperor. This kid is a body cultivator. He has been cultivating for five years, only taking one hour a day to practice his sword. How did he manage to achieve such a reputation?
No wonder he was chosen by the Eastern Pole True Lord to be his disciple... Such sword talent is probably among the top in the entire human race.

soon.

Then another group of "veterans" arrived.

These powerful figures all came from the Ancestral Star and the Kunlun Realm. There were humans, demons, and even a "spirit race" expert named "Five Elements Ancestor"... He was the one who created the "Five Elements Small World" hidden beneath the Anning Mental Hospital on the Ancestral Star.

These powerful figures left behind various legends on the ancestral star and the Kunlun Realm, and many of their names are familiar to Jiang He.

"The Ancestral Dragon, the Dragon Emperor, and the Evil Dragon Emperor... the three powerful figures of the Dragon Clan have arrived!"

"Look, it's Zu Feng... Zu Feng and Zu Long have arrived together. Will they make a move?"

"Hou Yi, look... the Moon Goddess has arrived! Hmm? Where did Hou Yi go?"

Jiang He, who was receiving the powerful figures, immediately sensed the gossip and pulled Dan Zhu aside to ask about the "Moon Fairy" and Hou Yi. Dan Zhu recounted the story of Hou Yi and the Moon Fairy in detail. After listening, Jiang He suddenly realized, "So that's how it is... It seems that the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon originated from this."

Danzhu laughed and said, "That's right, that Moon Fairy is named Chang'e."

Suddenly, one of the ancestral figures exclaimed, "Look... Emperor Shun! Emperor Shun has arrived!"

"Emperor Shun?"

"Has Emperor Shun emerged from the pass?"

All the emperors were excited!

Emperor Shun?

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but think, "Emperor Shun? Emperor Shun is still alive?"

Emperor Shun was the last of the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" of the human race. He was the sixth-generation grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu. The era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ended 800 million years ago. The last human emperor died because he opened the six paths of reincarnation to fight against the "rules of the Heavenly Way". Most of the five emperors after him also did not have a good end because they fought against the "rules of the Heavenly Way". But unexpectedly, Emperor Shun is still alive today!

Danzhu couldn't help but say, "You brat... you have quite the nerve. Yu Shun has been in seclusion for nearly a million years without showing his face, but I didn't expect him to come out of seclusion as soon as you arrived, and even came to see you!"

A streak of light fell from the sky.

Many powerful figures stepped forward to meet them, and even Jiang He couldn't help but follow.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors represent an era and also signify the rise of humankind. It is no exaggeration to say that without the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there would be no humankind as we know it today!

Many powerful figures bowed in respect.

Emperor Shun smiled, appearing approachable. He returned each greeting, and finally fixed his gaze on Jiang He, asking, "So you are Jiang He? Not bad, not bad... indeed a handsome man!" (End of Chapter)
