Tian Yuan

Dizhou, old land.

Things here are still the same as before, with the unstable laws of time everywhere. From time to time, a terrible storm would blow up, ravaging the world and making a mess.

What is strange is that there are people walking in the depths of the old land, unaffected by the chaotic laws of this world, strolling leisurely.

The man was wearing white clothes and his figure was blurry, like a ghost.

Some time ago, this figure appeared in the emperor's tomb and also controlled the God-Suppressing Bow.

His identity is obvious, Emperor Taiwei.

To be precise, it is an incarnation of Emperor Taiwei, floating between heaven and earth, yet undetected by the Eye of the Dao.

Previously, I went to the Emperor's Tomb and took away some things from the Eight or Nine Palaces and the Main Tomb Chamber. The reason was simple: they were needed for restoration.

At the end of the Old Land, there was a planet-like object floating, surrounded by ancient seal runes filled with infinite mysteries and terrifying power.

The Immortal Ancient Clan named this thing - The Star Core of Time.

A long time ago, before the ancient tribe returned to the world, they discovered the sudden appearance of the Time Star Core and were extremely frightened. They sent many powerful people to investigate the situation. Unfortunately, they used many methods but to no avail, and finally nothing was done.

I wonder how the people of the ancient clan would feel if they knew that Emperor Taiwei was located in the core of the Time Star.

Will they kowtow and worship it, or will they try every means to destroy it?

Judging from the nature of the people of the ancient clan, their fear of Taiwei is deep in their bones. How could they dare to do such a suicidal act? They would most likely kneel down in submission and obey his orders.

This special incarnation carries the will of Emperor Taiwei.

He was originally walking towards the end of the old land, but suddenly stopped, turned his head to look to the left, and his eyes were fixed on something.

"Da da da..."

A strong and clear rhythmic sound of footsteps came from a distance.

A man dressed in black strode over.

His figure is upright, like a solitary pine tree under the night sky, with endless traces of wind and frost between his brows. He has a handsome face, yet dignified, his eyes are as sharp as a knife, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth contains a bit of unruly and aloof charm.

He likes black clothes and can walk freely in the deep old land.

It is obvious who is coming.

"Finally I get to meet you. It's not easy!"

Kong's gaze penetrated through the layers of void, breaking through all illusions, taking in the figure of Emperor Taiwei, and raised the corners of his lips, looking forward to it for a long time.

Although Kong did not attend the grand feast of the past, he happened to come to the old land and wanted to get closer to the Core of Time and have a good chat with Emperor Taiwei.

However, Emperor Taiwei's vitality was very weak that time, and the surrounding laws did not allow anyone to approach, so the two sides did not meet.

"Shh-"

A moment later, Kong crossed the vast sky and appeared at the location where Emperor Taiwei was.

The distance between the two sides was no more than ten feet.

They looked into each other's eyes.

"What do you call it?"

Emperor Taiwei saw the origin of Kong's imperial fruit, and knew that he was once a puppet corpse on the Divine Bridge Road. To show respect, he asked about his origins.

"Kong." After saying that, he paused and added, "My family name is Gu."

This was the first time in all these years that Kong stated his last name so solemnly.

Obviously, Gu Kong attached great importance to this meeting with Emperor Taiwei.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Emperor Taiwei and Gu Kong met. Back then on the Divine Bridge Road, Gu Kong was a puppet without the ability to think as a subject.

"My friend, why do you want to meet me?"

The voice of Emperor Taiwei was particularly hollow, as if it came from outer space.

"I have heard of your great reputation for a long time, and I have come here to ask you for help."

Gu Kong’s meaning was very clear, he just wanted to experience for himself how powerful Emperor Taiwei was.

"Now?" Emperor Taiwei asked with a hint of politeness.

"I can do anything. It depends on your arrangement."

Don't be impatient about this kind of thing, Gu Kong smiled slightly.

"Since this is the case, I will satisfy you, fellow Taoist."

The moment the words fell, the space suddenly changed.

"Rumble..."

The earth shook and the space twisted, shattered and reorganized.

In just a dozen breaths, the place they were in turned into a mysterious world that was closed on six sides. There was a faint red mist floating in many corners, containing extremely complex traces of time, which was extremely mysterious.

In the middle, there is a square stone table and two stone chairs.

"please."

The figure of Emperor Taiwei was still blurry. He walked towards the stone table and spoke politely.

The two men sat down, and the two invisible and traceless imperial law patterns began to intertwine and collide, testing each other.

"I have a nice pot of tea, prepared just for today."

After saying that, Gu Kong took out a teapot from the Sumeru Ring. It had an elegant appearance, smooth lines, a round and smooth body, and a slender spout.

Then, he took out two teacups with exquisitely carved patterns.

"The tea is delicious, but unfortunately I can't taste it now."

Emperor Taiwei glanced at the cup of tea in front of him and expressed his apology.

This incarnation cannot appreciate the flavor of the fragrant tea, so there is no need to waste it.

The finest Taoist tea is rare in the world.

Tea leaves are very difficult to obtain. They are picked from Taoist trees that are over 100,000 years old, and only the tender buds are taken, which are then blended with some rare and spiritual things.

Just one sip can improve your understanding and enhance your strength in a short period of time.

Even for the emperor who stands proudly at the top of the world, it is extremely difficult to obtain this item, and he values ​​it very much.

"It is said that you have predicted the passage of time back more than five million years and have never met an opponent. I dare to ask for your advice today."

Gu Kong used his own imperial magic, and a strange image of an ancient king looking down at the world appeared behind him, with royal majesty as vast as the ocean.

"Fellow Daoist speaks too seriously."

Having said that, Emperor Taiwei immediately mobilized his terrifying mysterious power, and his voice was hollow and ethereal, like the whisper of an ancient god. It inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression that struck their souls.

And so, the two began to discuss.

Every inch of the void in this mysterious world is filled with boundless imperial power.

Billions of rays of light poured down from above, submerging the world in an instant.

"clang--"

In a trance, the melodious and profound sound of an ancient bell rang out in the place where people were discussing Taoism. The heaven and earth trembled, and all the Taoism retreated.

The two sides kept staring at each other, their eyes were like the sharpest blades in the world, the confrontation continued, and the rhythm of Tao splashed.

The flow of time seemed to become very slow. Every collision of the imperial patterns would stir up a wave of void fluctuations and create strange phenomena.

The ground the two were standing on seemed to have turned into an all-encompassing star map.

"Bang, bang..."

From time to time, there is the sound of the laws roaring, like a sea of ​​thunder, resounding through heaven and earth.

"Om-"

At a certain moment, both sides suddenly gained a new insight during the discussion, and the rays of light blooming in this world became more brilliant, embellishing the sky, which was extremely beautiful.

"Rumble--"

There are also intense periods of time when two different imperial pattern laws begin to fight each other, tit for tat, incompatible, and must determine the winner.

After a cup of tea, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly stopped.

Gu Kong's face turned pale, he closed his eyes and took a long breath. Then he picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all. His face gradually turned red, suppressing the palpitation.

"I lost."

The winner was decided. Gu Kong felt ashamed of himself and looked deeply at Emperor Taiwei who was sitting in front of him, with particular admiration.

“It was a lucky win.”

Emperor Taiwei said modestly.

Hearing this, Gu Kong smiled bitterly: "I know you showed mercy, otherwise I would have lost even more miserably."

In response, Emperor Taiwei smiled but said nothing.

After a long silence, Gu Kong looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes, and then said: "Excuse me, have you...got the way to immortality?"

"No." Emperor Taiwei shook his head.

"You are different from us. You seem not to be excluded by the great laws of this era."

Ancient beings like Gu Kong seem to be able to travel anywhere in the world, but in fact they act with extreme caution, fearing that they will be punished by heaven.

However, Emperor Taiwei was not restricted. Otherwise, how could he control the God-Suppressing Bow and cause turbulence in the laws of all ways without being locked by the Eye of the Great Dao?

"It's just a coincidence."

Although Emperor Taiwei has unparalleled power, he does not have a condescending attitude and is always humble and polite.

"I admire you." Gu Kong truly admired him.

At their level, nothing can be explained by "coincidence".

Only by controlling the overall situation can you compete with the laws of nature and walk out a supreme path that belongs to you alone.

"Fellow Daoist, can you tell me about the era you lived in?"

Emperor Taiwei has not yet understood the historical period at the end of the ancient times and is very interested in it.

"Of course." Gu Kong agreed happily: "If you are not in a hurry, let me explain it slowly."

Emperor Taiwei: "I'm all ears."

"Let me start from the day I first met Zhixi..."

When they first met, Gu Kong was an elder of a sect, and Zhixi was a disciple who was undergoing assessment to seek the truth.

Zhixi became a member of the sect, but was expelled due to some things soon after.

Later, Zhixi fell into the darkest period of her life and unexpectedly met the noble man who changed her life.

Many years later, a certain guy stole the opportunity to attain enlightenment and ascended the throne.

Zhixi was unwilling to give up, so he planned for thousands of years and forcibly broke through the barriers of the avenue, creating a grand scene of three emperors co-respecting each other.

"Until now, I still can't figure out how he stole the position of enlightenment."

When talking about the past, Gu Kong let out a long sigh, and a hint of doubt gradually emerged between his brows.

"The universe is vast and has a long history. There will always be things that go beyond the order of the great way."

This world hides many secrets and is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The three great emperors at the end of the ancient times were: Zhixi, Gukong, and Bi'an.

The shocking battle a million years ago destroyed the divine bridge and had far-reaching consequences.

The instigator is the being from the other side.

That person sought the way to immortality and took advantage of the fact that Emperor Taiwei was in his old age and his blood was running dry. Unfortunately, he still underestimated Emperor Taiwei's strength, resulting in a lose-lose situation for both sides.

"What is his origin?"

Emperor Taiwei asked.
