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

Chapter 71 Yan Ruyu's Experiences: The Four Extremes Seize the Emperor's Weapon

Time flies when you are immersed in spiritual practice. Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the valley, peach orchards stretch as far as the eye can see, with a tranquil, emerald-green pool in the center, and a few thatched huts nearby, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

Just then, a figure in white stepped into the valley, ethereal and otherworldly, with an air of purity and detachment from worldly affairs—it was Yan Ruyu.

The moment she entered the valley, her eyes shifted slightly, and she immediately spotted Zhong Xu.

He sat cross-legged by the pool, his eyes closed, as if he were fast asleep.

However, in Yan Ruyu's perception, the emperor's aura was integrated with the entire valley, as if it had become part of the world. If she didn't look with her naked eye, she would not be able to detect that there was a person in the valley.

'His Majesty's spiritual realm has risen again; is this what he meant by the unity of heaven and man?'

'The entire valley seems to have become His Majesty's domain; it truly is a profound cultivation system!'

As this thought crossed her mind, a strange light flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes, and she stepped into the valley.

Just then, her vision blurred slightly, and the scene changed instantly.

In a daze, she seemed to see five beams of light of different colors rise up, transforming into five emperors with different auras, causing the surrounding world to change and the power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to begin to boil.

The next moment, the five-colored light continued to merge and converge towards the very center, eventually forming a single point, within which a weathered and ancient figure stood, as one with all things.

Five-colored light surrounded the figure, transforming into five emperors who surrounded it, as if becoming its foil.

Upon seeing this ancient figure, Yan Ruyu's mind was shaken, as if she had gained some understanding of the Chaotic Green Lotus Dao and some new insights into certain Dao principles within her own bloodline.

'His Majesty actually integrated a portion of the Dao principles contained within the Chaos Green Lotus into his own Dao Palace Secret Realm, thus creating this special deity that is not among the five great deities!'

As this thought crossed her mind, a look of indescribable shock appeared on Yan Ruyu's face.

This was completely beyond her understanding of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Just then, the scene before her eyes changed again.

That ancient and weathered figure converged directly to an extreme point, and then continuously evolved, transforming into a Tai Chi diagram with intertwined black and white yin and yang fish.

On the yin and yang poles of the Tai Chi diagram stand two figures, one surrounded by Buddhist light, compassionate and peaceful, and the other filled with demonic energy, evil and eerie.

The two are at opposite extremes, yet they are connected in some mysterious way, just like the Yin and Yang of the Great Dao, two sides of the same coin.

Yan Ruyu's mind stirred slightly, as if her consciousness had split in two, giving rise to two different perceptions and insights.

The next moment, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram rotated, and Buddhist light and demonic energy intertwined, forming a mysterious divine and demonic Tai Chi diagram.

Ultimately, everything merged and collapsed, seemingly exhausting the wonders of the world's changes, forming a chaotic realm in which stood a chaotic blue lotus.

Looking at the Chaos Green Lotus, a strange realization arose in Yan Ruyu's heart. Her two separate consciousnesses instantly merged, and she felt a sense of understanding:
In the beginning of heaven, there was no yin or yang.

At the beginning of life, there is no good or evil.

The moment the insight emerged, Yan Ruyu's mind seemed to undergo a baptism, becoming more stable and refined, and her self-awareness became clearer.

Buzz

Just then, a grand chant arose, as if it came from the azure sky beyond the heavens, or as if it came from beyond time itself, resounding throughout the entire world.

Yan Ruyu's mind stirred slightly, and before her eyes appeared an infinitely large golden Buddha, surrounded by various solemn and sacred Buddhist auras, one hand pointing to the sky and the other touching the earth, perfectly at ease, pointing directly to the true nature of all living beings.

Upon seeing the golden Buddha statue, Yan Ruyu's mind was slightly shaken, as if she had awakened to herself, her heart becoming clearer than ever before, and she understood many truths.

In an instant, everything before her eyes vanished, as if everything she had just seen was an illusion.

Unbeknownst to her, she had already arrived at the edge of the deep pool, standing in front of Zhong Xu, only to find him looking at her with a smile, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"I have met His Majesty."

A hint of amazement appeared in Yan Ruyu's eyes, and she said softly, "Your Majesty's spiritual realm has improved again. You can actually influence the changes in the natural world of the entire valley with your own will, making people unconsciously fall into it. I am ashamed of myself for not being able to do it."

You must know that she is a cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm and possesses the inheritance of the Azure Emperor, which is incomparable to ordinary Four Extremes Secret Realm cultivators. Yet she was still affected by the will of this emperor and unknowingly fell into it. One can imagine how powerful the emperor's spiritual realm is.

"hehe."

Zhong Xu smiled slightly: "It's just that I have a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, nothing extraordinary."

Sensing Yan Ruyu's emotional fluctuations, Zhong Xu asked curiously, "Ruyu, what happened?"

Yan Ruyu suppressed her shock and said, "I've recently heard that the Ji family, one of the ancient aristocratic families, has been making unusual moves. I'm afraid they might attack us?" "The Ji family?"

Upon hearing this, a strange look appeared in Zhong Xu's eyes.

Yan Ruyu, oblivious to the look in Zhong Xu's eyes, nodded: "The Ji family has produced a young prodigy with a divine physique, a rare and exceptional physique in the Eastern Wilderness. Now that his cultivation is just beginning, he's probably preparing to use us as a testing ground to demonstrate the power of his divine physique."

'really.'

After listening to Yan Ruyu's story, a look of understanding appeared in Zhong Xu's eyes.

The Eastern Wilderness Divine Body, who is Ye Fan's brother-in-law in the original novel, was also a boastful character in the early stages, creating the famous scene of "Four Extremes Snatching the Emperor's Weapon".

Unfortunately, he was young and arrogant, unaware of the vastness of the world. Only after arriving at the Emperor's Road did he discover that the divine body he was so proud of was actually that of a race, among which there were countless others with physiques far stronger than his.

He himself was also directly beaten so badly that his Dao heart was shattered.

However, at this point in time, with his Eastern Wilderness Divine Body cultivation just beginning, he is bursting with confidence, so it is quite normal for him to choose to take action against the declining Azure Emperor lineage.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xu said casually, "It's just an Eastern Wilderness Divine Body, no need to pay too much attention to it."

Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of worry: "The Eastern Wilderness Divine Body is fine, but the key is that we don't know if the Ji family has chosen to attack us this time. You should know that the Ji family is also an extreme power that has been passed down from the ancient times, and the clan also has an extreme imperial weapon that is no less than the Chaos Green Lotus."

"Don't worry."

Zhong Xu shook his head and said calmly, "Even if the Ji family goes all out, I have a way to deal with it."

Hearing such domineering words, Yan Ruyu was shocked and subconsciously asked, "Does Your Majesty have a way to deal with the older generation of powerful figures in the Ji family?"

Although the Chaos Green Lotus is powerful, the Green Emperor lineage is now dwindling in strength and cannot fully unleash the power of this imperial weapon.

The Ji family, however, is different. They have countless powerful figures within the clan, and even a self-sealed foundation that allows them to maximize the power of their imperial weapons, far surpassing the current Azure Emperor lineage.

After glancing at Yan Ruyu, Zhong Xu's eyes flickered, and an unimaginable pressure suddenly rose up, carrying a vast and majestic aura that suppressed heaven and earth, causing the entire world to fall silent, as if it had stopped for a moment.

But the pressure suddenly vanished the next moment, as if it were all an illusion.

However, Yan Ruyu knew that it was definitely not an illusion, and a look of undisguised shock appeared in her eyes: "Your Majesty, what was that just now?"

Zhong Xu smiled and said, "You can regard him as my protector. With this senior here, even if the Ji family's self-imposed secrets were to emerge and come wielding an imperial weapon, they would definitely not return alive."

"This is also a good opportunity to let all the forces in the Eastern Wilderness know that our Azure Emperor lineage is not to be trifled with, so that no Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to provoke us."

Although the Martian Sacred Body is only a wisp of divine thought and its strength is not at its peak, its control over imperial weapons is absolutely superior to all beings below the Great Emperor level.

The Ji family is insignificant; unless the Yellow Emperor himself comes, the number of others who come is negligible.

Although Zhong Xu usually doesn't want to bother the Martian Holy Body to avoid developing a dependency, he will never hesitate to take action when the time comes.

'Guardians.'

Yan Ruyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she vaguely understood something:
'As expected, our ancestor entrusted even the Imperial Decree and the Chaos Green Lotus to this Emperor; how could he not send protectors!'

Thinking of this, the worry on her face vanished, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

As the former leader of the Azure Emperor lineage, although she was indifferent and disliked fighting, she was by no means a weak person.

Now that the Ji family dared to bully their Azure Emperor lineage like this, she naturally felt a surge of anger and wanted to teach the Ji family a lesson.

In the following time, following Zhong Xu's orders, the entire Azure Emperor lineage was mobilized.

In the western part of the Wei Kingdom, there was a desolate mountain range with endless peaks but very little vegetation, presenting a scene of barren and scorched earth.

Legend has it that a great battle took place here in ancient times, leaving behind various scattered energies that disrupted the laws of heaven and earth, turning this place into a barren wasteland.

Towering mountains rose into the clouds, each topped with powerful members of the Ji family, sealing off all directions.

On a large mountain directly in front, a man in purple robes, his clothes fluttering, looked like a god descending to earth. He was Ji Haoyue, the current divine body of the Ji family.

He looked to be only in his early twenties, yet he possessed an indescribable arrogance, standing with his hands behind his back, blocking the way alone.

"It is said that when the Demon Emperor's tomb was opened, the Demon Emperor's descendants obtained the Demon Emperor's sacred weapon."

Ji Haoyue looked calmly at the group of powerful demons in front of her and said indifferently, "Now that my divine body is just beginning to take shape, there are few weapons in the world that can catch my eye. The Demon Emperor's Sacred Weapon is not bad. Leave it behind, and I may spare your lives."
