Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 28 Those destined to meet will meet again.

Di Yi's ultimate goal was Zhang Ruochen. Relying only on the Five Elements Sacred Body and the Heart of the Flame Demon, he might be able to compete with Zhang Ruochen at the same level before reaching the Sacred Realm, but after reaching the Sacred Realm, it would be difficult for him to catch up.

The Sacred Body is both an innate opportunity and an innate shackle. Zhang Ruochen stepped into the martial arts path with a mortal body and refined the Five Elements Origin Spiritual Treasures to achieve the Acquired Five Elements Chaos Body.

Because of his Sacred Body, Di Yi could not follow this path. In the original timeline, his Flame Demon Heart was severed by Zhang Ruochen and then eaten by the Elephant-Swallowing Rabbit. He could only replace the Flame Demon Heart with a Half-Sacred Heart. By a twist of fate, he transformed his Five Elements Sacred Body into the Heartless Sacred Body, which was comparable to the Innate Extreme Yang Body and the Innate Extreme Yin Body, and thus possessed the characteristic of immortality.

However, the Heartless Sacred Body is not truly immortal. When the Sacred Body's origin is exhausted, its soul will naturally dissipate. It is still inferior to the Five Elements Chaos Body.

In this life, Di Yi would naturally not voluntarily sever his Fiery Demon Heart. The Heartless Holy Body may sound nice, but it is ultimately nothing more than a flawed body.

The biggest gain from this trip to the dragon's nest was finding a direction to further improve his physical condition, rather than just observing the baby dragon in the egg.

The phantom with a human body and a dragon tail in the heart of the Flame Demon is most likely the Flame Demon, a demon god from the chaotic ancient era. If the Flame Demon's divine bloodline can be fully activated and the heart of the Flame Demon can be transformed into the heart of a demon god, it may be possible to evolve his Five Elements Sacred Body into the True God Body among the ten strongest physiques.

The path to the Holy Body is already invincible, but if one can cultivate the Divine Body, that would be even better.

"The road ahead is long and arduous."

Emperor Yi gazed at the pale moon and let out a long sigh.

The campfire gradually died down, leaving only a few embers still emitting light and heat. He put away the silver book, then turned around to see Luo Shuihan sitting on the threshold, staring blankly at the sky.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? If children don't go to bed on time, they won't grow tall."

Di Yi walked to the door and sat down beside her.

Luo Shuihan looked at him, her small face filled with sorrow, her bright eyes brimming with tears.

“Little brother, I can’t sleep. My father told me that when I miss him, I should look up at the night sky. Among the stars, there is one that is his eye.”

Emperor Yi looked up at the sky. The bright moon hung high, its clear light overshadowing the stars. Where did the sky of stars come from?

Moreover, this saying is far too ominous. How can a living person transform into a star? In his homeland, that is a symbol of the deceased.

"Did you see it?"

Luo Shuihan nodded gently: "I saw it. There was more than one, many stars, shining brightly, gathered together, like...like a Milky Way in the heavens."

"The Milky Way?" Di Yi was puzzled upon hearing this. Seeing that Luo Shuihan did not seem to be lying, he looked at the night sky again. He had excellent eyesight, and even though the moonlight was like water and obscured the starlight, he could still see the stars that ordinary people could not see.

But where are the countless stars that converge to form the Milky Way in the sky?
"Didn't you see him, young man? He's right there."

Luo Shuihan pointed to a certain direction in the night sky. Di Yi looked in the direction she was pointing, but still could not see the so-called Milky Way.

Somewhat skeptical, he activated his True Source Demon Eye to peer into the starry sky, but the True Source Demon Eye, which had always been invincible, suffered a setback this time.

"Is there really a Milky Way in the heavens?"

"It really does."

Di Yi was puzzled and his gaze fell on Luo Shuihan's eyes. According to Song Lian, she was frightened last night, which activated the Saint Bloodline in her body and awakened a pair of golden Saint Eyes.

Could it be due to the Golden Light Saint Eye?

Di Yi turned the power of the True Source Demon Eye towards Luo Shuihan's eyes, and actually saw a Milky Way hanging in the sea of ​​stars in her eyes.

"Could this be the legendary Milky Way? Can she see the Milky Way?"

Di Yi thought to himself, connecting Luo Shuihan to Luo Xu.

This most outstanding figure in the entire Kunlun Realm two hundred years ago was born a mortal and studied in a small place like the Tianmo Ridge Martial Arts Academy. Yet, he dominated an era with his Thirty-Six Styles of Luoshui Fist, representing a century in the Kunlun Realm. He was even more prominent than Wan Zhaoyi, the Little Saint King of the Ministry of War, who is currently at the height of his power.

After all, there are five heroes listed in the Ode to Heroes, and Wan Zhaoyi is only the first, not the only one.

Dong Wutian, Xi Wufa, Nan Xinshu, and Bei Yutian, though not as good as Wan Zhaoyi, still have the strength to compete with him.

Two hundred years ago, Luo Xu was unmatched among his peers.

It is widely believed that the Luoshui Fist Technique was created by Luo Xu on the banks of the Luoshui River, but Di Yi knows that the Luoshui Fist Technique could not have been created by Luo Xu at all. Instead, it originated from the Luoshui River and came from an ancient civilization outside the Kunlun Realm. The Luoshui Fist Technique is not actually called the Luoshui Fist Technique. Its original name is the [Heavenly River Divine Fist], and its grade surpasses that of a sacred art. It is a divine power created by a god.

Luo Shuihan was the first member of the Luo Sheng Clan to master the Luo Shui Fist Technique after Luo Xu. Now it seems that her ability to master the Luo Shui Fist Technique is closely related to the pair of golden holy eyes she awakened.

Strangely enough, even though Luo Shuihan wasn't looking at the night sky, the Milky Way seemed to be imprinted in her eyes.

The two looked at each other under the campfire and moonlight. If they weren't both six or seven-year-old children, it might have given rise to some other thoughts.

The galaxy in her eyes was beautiful and dreamlike, as if it contained the profound truth of the universe's operation, which captivated Di Yi for a moment.

Within the Purple Mansion's sea of ​​consciousness, purple energy from all directions continuously converged towards the center, pouring into the cyan lotus seed buried deep within the Purple Mansion.

The lotus seeds emitted a bluish light, and for the first time since they were formed, they showed signs of movement. The lotus shell cracked open, and there were signs of sprouting.

A moment later, Di Yi came to his senses and saw a small face full of confusion.

"Hey bro, what are you looking at?"

Is there something in my eye?

Di Yi thought for a moment and said, "There is a celestial river hidden in your eyes."

"How can an eye hold a river? You're lying."

For the first time in two days, Luo Shuihan smiled, and at that moment she forgot all her troubles.

The night was long, and as dawn broke in the east, the morning light dispelled the thin mist in the mountains. Luo Shuihan awoke from her daze, as if she had just woken from a dream. In her dream, there was a magnificent galaxy, beautiful and endlessly flowing.

"Han'er, you're awake. Get up quickly, it's time for us to go."

Song Lian appeared beside the bed, her voice gentle, her complexion much rosier than yesterday, indicating that her injuries had healed somewhat.

"Mother."

Luo Shuihan rubbed her eyes and obediently got out of bed.

Outside the window, the young man in black was still doing his morning exercise in the courtyard as always.

Song Lian retrieved her longsword and bid farewell to Emperor Yi and his companion.

Di Yi escorted the mother and daughter to the valley entrance.

Before stepping out of the valley.

Luo Shuihan suddenly took out an object, walked to Di Yi, handed him the jade pendant, and said softly, "Little brother, my mother said that as long as you give this pair of mandarin duck jade pendants to the person you want to see, you will be able to meet again no matter how far apart you are in the future."

Di Yi was slightly taken aback. The mandarin duck jade pendant was something Luo Shuihan probably didn't understand yet. But seeing her sincere expression, it was impossible for him to refuse.

He glanced in Song Lian's direction and saw that she was just smiling, so he accepted the jade rabbit pendant carved from mutton fat jade.

Seeing that he had accepted the gift, Luo Shuihan happily returned to Song Lian's side and walked towards the outside of the valley. After stepping out of the valley, she stopped again.

"Mommy, do you think I'll be able to see my older brother and sister again?"

Song Lian looked back and saw that the forest behind her was lush and green, and there was no trace of the valley. The paradise that had saved them from life and death seemed to have never existed at all, but was just a dream. Now that the dream was over, everything had vanished with the wind.

"What an incomprehensible method this is."

Looking at her daughter's glistening eyes, Song Lian sighed inwardly. Luo Yuanshan came from the Luo Sheng Clan. Although it was a neglected branch, he was still a member of the Saint Clan and had extensive knowledge. As a result, she also knew a lot about the Eastern Region.

The spear technique that Ziyuan used that day was clearly a unique skill from the black market, the [Soaring Dragon Spear Technique].

She had roughly guessed the extent of the Hades Sword Technique that Di Yi was practicing, and realized that the two of them were probably not righteous people, but rather came from the black market.

She gently patted Luo Shuihan's head and said softly, "If fate allows, we will meet again in the future."
