The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 58 The Tomb of the Azure Emperor
Deep within the original ruins, ancient buildings are densely packed together. Although they have all collapsed into ruins, their sheer size alone reveals how magnificent and spectacular they were in their heyday.

At the very center of the endless ancient building complex is a towering volcanic crater, as if the entire complex was built around this volcano.

At this moment, the magma inside the crater was boiling and the boundless flames filled the sky.

A magnificent palace, its entire body shimmering with crystal, emerged from within the volcano, shimmering with countless divine lights and exuding an aura of ancient vicissitudes.

This is the tomb of the only great emperor since the beginning of time, according to legend. It is the mausoleum of the Azure Emperor.

High above the volcano, various forces converge, including ancient clans and sacred sites of great religions.

Led by powerful immortals from various factions, all sorts of magical artifacts and supernatural powers flew up, attempting to break open the Demon Emperor's tomb and seize the supreme imperial weapon and various treasures left behind by the Azure Emperor.

A series of booming sounds rang out as various attacks rained down on the magnificent palace within the volcano, eroding what they believed to be the array patterns and restrictions on the Demon Emperor's mausoleum.

Not far from the crater where the Demon Emperor's tomb is located, on a rocky mountain, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy hid behind a boulder. This was Ye Fan, who had regained his youth after eating the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir.

Sensing the energy fluctuations in the distance, which resembled a tsunami, a look of horror appeared on his face.

He hadn't expected that even though he was so far away, he would still be affected by the aftershocks of the energy. These powerful figures who attacked the Demon Emperor's tomb were simply too strong.

Ten thousand years have passed since the Demon Emperor's tomb was built, and the restrictions set up by the Demon Emperor should have been extremely weak by now. Yet, it has withstood the attacks of many powerful figures for so long, which shows how powerful the Demon Emperor who unified the Eastern Wilderness must have been.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan also felt a bit of admiration for this Demon Emperor.

Not far from the rocks where Ye Fan was, two figures dressed in Taoist robes were hidden. One was bloated, with a ruddy complexion and a hint of lewdness between his brows, while the other was handsome, with an ethereal temperament and a sense of vicissitude surrounding him. They were Duan De and Zhong Xu.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, aren't we going to make a move now?"

Hearing the earth-shaking roar from afar and feeling the energy fluctuations like a vast ocean, a look of anxiety appeared on Duan De's face.

The legendary tomb of the Green Emperor was right before his eyes, and it was under attack, yet he was unable to participate, which naturally made him extremely anxious.

Beside Duan De, Zhong Xu sat cross-legged on a boulder, holding a pure and flawless source stone in his hand, constantly absorbing the life essence within it.

Despite the deafening roar from the outside world, Zhong Xu remained unmoved, calmly and steadily undergoing the transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Other Shore.

Seeing this scene, Duan De couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
This fellow practitioner of Taiyi Dao truly never forgets his cultivation!
No wonder their combat power is already terrifying, even though they are only at the Other Shore Realm.

However, looking at the source stones in the other party's hand, Duan De couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

These are all his Originium!
boom

Just then, Zhong Xu's Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm glowed slightly, revealing various strange phenomena: a vast and boundless ancient celestial realm, a noble and ancient emperor's figure, a compassionate and peaceful golden Buddha, an eerie and terrifying dark demonic shadow, and a naturally harmonious Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.
'this'

Sensing the unpredictable energy contained within the various strange phenomena, even Duan De, a feng shui master who considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, showed surprise on his face and muttered to himself, "Abnormal."

The more he interacted with this fellow Taoist, the more he felt that this guy was not a normal person.

Buzz

Zhong Xu slowly opened his eyes, a layer of ripples like the flow of time rippling within them, yet he did not cease his cultivation:
"Fellow Daoist Duan De, please don't be impatient. The tomb of the Azure Emperor is not so easily breached. The real treasures have not yet appeared. Let's just wait patiently."

A group of cultivators, whose highest level was no more than the second level of immortals, actually dared to attempt to break into the tomb of the Azure Emperor, a great emperor, and seize the supreme imperial weapon and various treasures inside. This is not the way to seek death.

Therefore, the Green Emperor did not die a natural death. In the eyes of his descendants, he should be considered missing. This tomb may just be a cenotaph erected for him by his descendants.

If it truly is the tomb of a great emperor, then every single person who comes here will perish here.

'this'

Upon hearing Zhong Xu's words, Duan De temporarily suppressed his anxiety.

Just then, a tremendous roar resounded. The powerful attack from the combined efforts of several important figures finally tore apart a corner of the Demon Emperor's mausoleum's restrictions, creating a flaw in the seal.

With a whoosh, streaks of divine light emerged from the torn barrier, flying in all directions; they were all powerful spiritual weapons.

The powerful figures from various factions hurriedly tried to intercept them, but even so, many rays of light still managed to slip through the net, either soaring into the sky or disappearing into the mountains and forests.

The surrounding cultivators were overjoyed at the sight and immediately chased after the beams of divine light.

"Amitabha Buddha"

Upon seeing this, Duan De immediately became restless and hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, these spiritual weapons have been buried underground for many years and are tainted with evil spirits. They are all extremely ominous objects. Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist, while I subdue these evil weapons first, so that they will not bring harm to the world."

The moment he finished speaking, Duan De's body shimmered with light, instantly transforming into a rainbow that chased after a divine light in the distance.

Seeing this, Zhong Xu couldn't help but shake his head.

Then, as if talking to himself, he asked, "Senior, have you discovered the true location of the Azure Emperor's tomb?"

Before he finished speaking, a compassionate Buddhist light emanated from his body, and a gentle voice rang out: "Not yet. Although I have now escaped the dilemma of illusion and reality, I am still just a wisp of my divine consciousness. My cultivation is not at its peak, so I cannot truly see where that demon emperor is hiding."

Zhong Xu nodded, not at all surprised.

Having embarked on the path of transforming himself into an immortal realm, the Azure Emperor naturally concealed himself very deeply.

Otherwise, if you're halfway through your evolution and an enemy suddenly comes knocking, you'll be finished.

"That chubby fellow Daoist from just now..."

The voice of the Martian Holy Body rang out again: "It seems that there are reincarnation seals in his body, and more than one, but he does not seem to be a spirit of the Emperor Corpse. Even I cannot see the specific situation clearly. It is really strange."

Upon hearing the words of the Martian Holy Body, Zhong Xu chuckled and explained, "Senior, you may not know this Fellow Daoist Duan De's identity is quite extraordinary. His true identity is the legendary First Supreme Being of Mythology, the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Venerable, and he has now embarked on a unique path of immortality in the mortal world."

Zhong Xu did not hide anything and briefly explained Duan De's situation.

After listening to Zhong Xu's story, even the Martian Holy Body, who was once comparable to an emperor, fell silent.

After a long while, he exclaimed, "I never imagined there was such a path in the world—to become an immortal amidst the mortal realm. No wonder he is the number one being in mythology!"

These ancient emperors and sovereigns, who had spent their entire lives searching for immortals without ever confirming their authenticity, never imagined that someone had actually created one and had already embarked on the true path to immortality.

It seems there are more secrets hidden in this world than he thought.

The Martian Holy Body was not at all surprised that Zhong Xu knew about this Tribulation Transcending Celestial Venerable's situation.

In his eyes, this young friend was the reincarnation of Buddha, the World Honored One undergoing tribulation.

boom

Just as the two were talking, a deafening roar suddenly came from the distant horizon, and a vast divine power, like the Milky Way in the heavens, swept across the entire sky.

In an instant, an indescribable pressure enveloped the universe. All living beings in the world, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a tremor and palpitation from the depths of their souls, as if they were facing the gods of the heavens.

Above the heavens, a dazzling light rose, dimming even the sun, moon, and stars, like a great sun illuminating the world.

At that moment, the entire world lost its color, and only that beam of light became the sole focus of the universe.

The ultimate imperial weapon, the Chaos Green Lotus!
"found it!"

"So that's how it is. It's not in normal space, but in a small world!"

The moment the Chaos Green Lotus appeared, the voice of the Martian Holy Body rang out beside Zhong Xu.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xu turned his gaze away from the distant Chaos Lotus, put away the source stone in his hand, and stood up.
