The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 57: Imperial Ruins Realm, Dragon Girl's Appointment (First Update)
At the gate of Ziwei Sect, the Holy Son comes out of seclusion.

The two methods are integrated, using the body as the seed and the secrets of the divine prohibitions as the fuel, to ignite the fire of the divine way and illuminate the universe.

There was a loud bang and the energy vibrated. The breakthrough of the old method led to the progress of the new method. Above the pure white divine fire, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared and came towards them.

"Heavenly tribulation? Has the Holy Son ascended to another heavenly stage?" "Too fast! The new law drives the old law, and the old law feeds back to the new law. Under this cycle, the Taoism advances by leaps and bounds!"

"Does this count as a breakthrough leading to a subsequent breakthrough? It's a shame it can't be replicated. The old path has vanished, and only the Saint Son is practicing it in this world. We can't even touch it. The new method is more suitable, and it focuses more on combat power."

The believers were in an uproar and were all watching. The power of the heavenly calamity was so great that even the creatures of various races who came to visit noticed it and their expressions changed. Had the Sun King made another breakthrough?
This is too fast. Who can make breakthroughs as fast as he does, just like eating and drinking water?
Under the calamity clouds, Wang Hongwu stood up. He looked extremely ethereal, empty and distant, as if he was standing in the clouds, separated by a starry sky and stained by the dust of history. The divine fire swept across and formed a pure white sky, isolating the mountain gate below to prevent it from being affected by the thunder calamity.

Boom! Suddenly, the thunder roared and smashed down directly on his head, drowning the sky. However, he opened his Sun and Moon Sky Pupils, carefully capturing the mystery of the heavenly tribulation, and discovered the existence of that law, which was located at the center of the thunder tribulation, in the center of the tribulation cloud.

Without hesitation, Wang Hongwu rushed forward with great force, broke through to the center, and tore the sea of ​​clouds apart with his hands. The crackling lightning around him was all blocked by the pure white divine fire, and burned into nothingness. His eyes were burning, and his heavenly eyes could see through all the laws directly, and he found that there was a ball of light here that was constantly radiating thunder.

This is a phantom, shaped like a thunder pool, with a radius of sixty-six feet, built with black stone. The water inside the pool is full of various colors of thunder, and even the steaming mist is thunder light, which is extremely terrifying.

"Very good, this is what I'm looking for." Wang Hongwu smiled. This was a projection of the source of the thunder tribulation. When extraordinary people were undergoing the tribulation, some manifestations would appear, and then they would attract heavenly thunder. Now that he had found it, he wanted to refine it and integrate it into his own 'Great Heavenly Tribulation Technique' so that it could truly attract thunder tribulation!

Go! He slapped the Heavenly Offering Bowl at his waist. It was time for this thing to work. He saw it spun up and sucked towards the shadow of the Thunder Pool in the center, pulling it directly towards him. Multiple destructive power waves erupted from it, but they were unable to shake the bowl, and it was pulled to the center.

Then Wang Hongwu used the Great Heavenly Tribulation Technique again, and an orange spear of thunder and fire appeared in his hand. He threw it into the phantom of the thunder pool, swallowing and spitting out divine fire, melting the two to achieve his supreme magical power.

Boom! Under this cultivation, the thunder tribulation became just a side effect, striking for half an hour without any notice before dissipating on its own.

At the center, a purple spear flew out through the air. Its entire body was made of calamity light and fire essence, shining brightly, and even shooting out arcs of electricity and sparks, emitting an extremely unstable and destructive aura.

"The fluctuations of the heavenly tribulation?" "Why do I feel like I'm about to undergo a tribulation when I get close to this divine spear?"

"What happened? Why do I have a bad feeling? Why is the calamity cloud coming? Didn't I just survive the calamity half a year ago?"

For a moment, all the creatures near the Great Heavenly Tribulation Technique were terrified. Some of them were even more frightened as if they were really about to be struck by thunder. They were so scared that they retreated hundreds of feet and fled in a hurry.

The transformation of this magical power also alarmed various masters. They all sensed the terrifying potential and their expressions became uncertain. If they were allies, it would be fine, but if they were enemies, it would be a big trouble.

Especially some older kings, their brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" character. Overcoming tribulation can be said to be a standard requirement for outstanding people, but many cultivators are unwilling to go through it, because it is a life-and-death situation and no one wants to take the risk.

"This trick is quite useful to deceive the human race." Wang Hongwu thought, it would be fun to hit the human race a few times from a distance and bring down some thunder disasters.

Of course, because of the upper limit of his tribulation, this can only affect the realm of the king at most. Unless there are more people undergoing the tribulation, which causes a chain reaction and makes it impossible for the semi-saint to retreat, there is a possibility that he will be involved. Otherwise, even if he creates the world and hides in a small world, he will be helpless.

After asking the elders of the sect to take care of the aftermath, he returned to the palace and took out the fragments left by Old Jiang. When the Sun Saint Emperor traveled through the universe, he brought such things from the earth, and no one knew what they were used for.

Three days later, on the outskirts of the Immortal World, the Silver Mountain was shining white, like a glowing snow mountain, vast and magnificent.

This is a metallic mountain range, mainly composed of silver essence, with undulating peaks. There is a strange peak in the center, like a big millstone, which was chosen as the venue for the grand event.

As the Dao Heart Fruit Festival approaches, this place becomes lively. Many people of noble status have arrived early, touring the place, greeting people, and discussing the current situation in Zhongzhou.

The Ziwei Sect and the Douzhan Royal Family hosted this grand event, and the tribes that came to participate obviously wanted to make friends and establish relationships with them.

In one of the gardens, the woods were deep and close to a small river. A group of descendants of royal families and fierce tribes gathered here. They had heard some news and knew the specialness of the Dao Heart Fruit, and their hearts were moved.

The monks who occasionally passed by opened their eyes wide because they saw several royal pearls who were famous in Zhongzhou.

The pearls of the royal family usually look down on others and always ignore the pursuit and flattery of their peers. But this time they are very different. They smile charmingly, are stunning, and are easy to get along with.

Their eyes wandered around, searching for a figure, appearing a little absent-minded.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were waiting for the Sun King to show up, wanting to see if they could establish a relationship and make a good story come true.

It is really sad to see that the beautiful figure that was once so unattainable to so many royal heroes is now here, wholeheartedly searching for another unattainable figure.

Of course, there are also many people who think that this is unrealistic. At least it should be a royal family. The royal family is still a little short of it.

"If I had a granddaughter, I might be willing to let them interact with each other." The old saint monkey laughed, which made the saint prince confused. He couldn't let him go, could he? That wouldn't do.

I am a good male monkey who keeps his chastity.

Wang Hongwu, who was regarded as a golden thigh, was now comprehending the mystery in the Holy Son's Palace and had just woken up.

"So it is this thing. The earth was a desolate wasteland in the past, and this fragment is what is left of the original Void God Realm." He finally figured out the source. This fragment actually contained a part of the wreckage of the former Void God Realm!

Fragments of the former virtual world are contained within it, as well as the ruins of the world inside. It has been partially repaired by the Holy Emperor of the Sun, leaving the magic circle stable. It can still be entered and adjusted, but the original order and dominance have been lost.

Originally, this strange world was constructed with spiritual thoughts and was a natural place for training and cultivating outstanding people.

While looking at the fragments, Wang Hongwu gradually had a new idea. This might be his chance to make up for his shortcomings and leave a secret realm of inheritance for the human race.

The differences between him and the descendants of the ancient emperors were very direct. First, he possessed a complete and perfectly maneuverable supreme divine weapon. Second, he possessed the forbidden imitations of imperial weapons and the authentic supreme killing formations that the ancient emperors had refined. Third, he possessed the understanding and experience of the path-enlightened cultivators throughout their cultivation and at each realm. Fourth, he possessed the ancient emperors' guidance, planning, and key secrets regarding cultivation. And most importantly, he possessed the means of sharpening his skills.

All the ancient emperors left behind secret realms for their descendants to hone their skills. This includes the Immortal Emperor's monthly phantom duel, the Qilin Emperor's trial ground, the Golden Emperor's Ten Absolute Formations, etc. These include the greatest tribulations they encountered in their pursuit of enlightenment, as well as opponents at each realm. They would even transform themselves into beings at the same realm to duel with their descendants. Such confrontations and tempering were crucial and could create a huge gap between them.

Just imagine, a being who has grown up from childhood to adulthood, from low to high realms, through battles with emperors and guidance, how can he not be powerful? Not comprehensive?

They have overcome the disasters that others have overcome, and they have also overcome the disasters that others have not overcome. This is a natural advantage.

This is also what Wang Hongwu has been thinking about. The Ziwei Sect cannot help much in this regard, so he can only do it himself. Then he can make good use of the fragments of the Void God Realm and the Dao Heart Fruit.

If not, then create your own!
"Looking at it this way, I need the Dao Marks of the Ancient Emperors to sharpen myself, and I also need their scriptures and secret techniques to verify them. In addition, I need to collect scriptures from other ethnic groups to fill the foundation of the sect. However, I don't necessarily have to pay for all of this myself. I can induce those royal and royal families to participate and make progress through their efforts. Create a fake secret realm opportunity, use the fragments of the Void God Realm and the Dao Heart Fruit, the Secret of the Former Word, and the Heavenly Offering Bowl to build a spiritual secret realm, and then use the power of these people to help me improve the world, fill in what I need, create the Dao Marks of the Ancient Emperors and bloodline projections, and even add my own Dao Marks to it.

This can also be considered a pilot before the Dao Heart Fruit is promoted. Once the secret realm is complete, I won't lack those guys. By honing my skills day and night, I can better deduce what I need. It's time to make plans early."

Wang Hongwu immediately had a direction to explore and a way to develop. He wanted to create a spiritual secret realm, and perhaps even use it to attract the ancient Tianzun and the ancient emperor to gain the Tao fruit in the future and borrow their power.

He named this plan the Imperial Ruins Realm, and its essence is still the foundation of the Void God Realm. The cultivators enter with the projection of their primordial spirit, and their physical bodies remain in the world, retaining the "immortality of the spirit" characteristic of the Void God Realm. After the primordial spirit is defeated, they return to the world, but their souls are damaged.

In his plan, except for the Ancient Emperor Dao Marks that he himself possessed and had come into contact with, the others required the entrants to provide resources and blood, which he would deduce and obtain from them, and then use for himself.

After the Dao Mark phantom takes shape, when a cultivator touches the phantom, he can either challenge it or briefly integrate into the Ancient Emperor's memory fragments and experience the key decision before he attained enlightenment. However, he must endure the backlash of his Dao heart (if his Dao heart is unstable, he may be assimilated by the Ancient Emperor's will).

After defeating the phantom, you can gain an understanding of its Dao traces, and then face a projection that is stronger and closer to its true body.

The effectiveness of this deduction depends on the Heavenly Offering Bowl and the Secret of the First Word. As for the projection and trial, they are the original things of the Virtual God Realm. Combined with the formations repaired and left behind by the Sun Saint Emperor, it is simple to combine them.

However, his strength is limited. Such a realm can only accommodate the Dao Slayers at most. Once it exceeds that, it will collapse. Otherwise, it is not something that he can do at his level.

He even planned to build two altars, the 'Outer Path Altar' and the 'Great Dao Altar'. The former could be used to fight with the projections of the geniuses who entered the Imperial Ruins Realm together and learn their moves; the latter could be used by cultivators to sacrifice their own blood and spiritual power to summon the "mirror image of the future body".

The mirror image masters all the secret arts that a cultivator may comprehend in the future, but it has no intelligence and acts only on combat instinct. Defeating the mirror image can allow one to comprehend the future fruits of the Tao in advance, but failing will consume a lot of resources and mental strength, and require a period of time to cultivate.

It can be said that this is the 'trial ground' that Wang Hongwu prepared specifically for himself, where he can fight with himself and witness the future of different development directions.

In this big world, there are too many enemies to face, and they are much more terrifying. If you can survive to the end and defeat everyone, the test you will go through will be unimaginable.

And according to what he knew, the ancient emperors all predicted the changes in this life, and even let their descendants be born in advance. They must have left more means and resources to train them, and maybe it would be much better than the original history.

This blood-stained path of preaching will be more terrifying than ever before.

Afterwards, Wang Hongwu invited Taiyin Tianwang to come and help with the refining. Eventually, a green light wheel in the shape of a hexagonal wheel was formed and floated behind his head. The inside was full of dreamy colors, and it performed various wonderful scenes, which were all deductions of the future and analyses of the laws of heaven and earth.

"It's time to go back to the East Wilderness first. The date for my appointment with the Dragon Girl is coming soon." Once the Imperial Ruins Realm was completed, his mind became active and he decided to go back to the East Wilderness to keep his appointment with the Dragon Girl.

He happened to open his own secret realm of the Imperial Ruins in that area, luring the geniuses of all races to work for him.

If the Dragon Girl enters first and it works, it will naturally attract other daughters of ancient emperors to come. At worst, I can use my identity as Dongfang Taiyi to help.

If someone robs it, he can rely on the broken bowl to take back the Imperial Ruins Realm intact and magically, and he can also use the ultimate divine power imprisoned by the broken green bronze to kill those with evil intentions. In addition, the previous agreement among the several tribes not to use the ultimate divine weapons for the time being, so it is still safe.

"Hongwu, if you can really marry into the Wanlongchao, then my Ziwei Sect will be stable." Before leaving, Taiyin Tianwang patted Wang Hongwu's shoulder earnestly, wanting him to get closer to the Dragon Girl. After all, the two of them did not dislike each other, but the issue of identity was always a hurdle, and he needed to grasp the right time to express it.

Wang Hongwu's mouth twitched when he heard this. Are you urging me to do this already?
His scalp felt numb, and he couldn't handle this kind of thing, so he quickly stepped into the domain gate and teleported to the Eastern Wilderness.

Three days later, in the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland, Ten Thousand Dragons Nested in the Snow Mountain.

A figure, standing alone under the cold plum blossoms, came from early morning, gazing into the distance.

The sun rose and hung high in the sky, shone brightly and then set in the west. As the clouds rolled in and out, it was past noon, passed the afternoon, and arrived in the evening.

The figure just stood there, motionless, peaceful and serene, pure from all worldly desires, like a lotus growing in a stone chamber, unknown to the world.

It was a woman with purple hair down to her waist, walking barefoot on the snow, with bells tied on her wrists and ankles. She was elegant and graceful, with a calm expression. Although she was standing right in front of him, she seemed as if she was about to fly away at any moment, with a somewhat ethereal and cold air.

crunch.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of footsteps on snow broke the silence.

She looked back and saw him coming.

Just like before, with purple hair draped over his shoulders and green dragon horns pointing to the sky, the man who once shocked the Eastern Wilderness is back. He is wearing a green robe and white clothes, handsome and elegant, with a purple and black gourd hanging around his waist, emitting chaotic light.

"Taiyi." The Dragon Girl smiled. The wintersweets were in full bloom, the sun was setting and the evening breeze was blowing. She had finally waited for the person she had a date with.

Wang Hongwu walked up to him, his expression calm, and said with a smile, "I'm back."

The sunset dyed the western sky red, stretching their shadows very long.

The ground is covered with silver, and the winter plum blossoms are particularly enchanting.

The flowers bloom and people return.

The mountain flowers are in full bloom, and she is smiling among the bushes.

The Dragon Girl smiled, her palm and fingers slightly raised, as if a lover's palm was about to caress, but it was not gentle. Instead, it boiled out a brilliant purple sound wave, which was enough to kill a group of masters.

boom!
As soon as they met, she attacked without hesitation, activating the Ancient Emperor Sutra. Her combat power soared to eight levels without any restraint, and she attacked Wang Hongwu forcefully.

"What a unique greeting." Wang Hongwu was helpless. Was this also a characteristic of the times? He flipped his hands, his divine fire inward, and his palms and fingers shone as brightly as if cast from shining white gold. With a single palm, he shattered the continuous sound waves and easily resisted the dragon girl's palm.

"The second level of Xiantai, you have reached this level so quickly?" The dragon girl's eyes flashed. The legendary Zhongzhou Sun King seemed to be in this realm.

"I found an opportunity in the Taichu Ancient Mine and refined it after seclusion. It turned out to be a life stone." Wang Hongwu smiled faintly and was about to start reminiscing when the Dragon Girl slapped him again and said, "Don't talk. Let the battle tell the story. After the fight, I will naturally understand what you have experienced."

All right. Wang Hongwu's eyes suddenly lit up. He was just thinking of fighting with the ancient emperor's heir to verify the results of his cultivation.
