Chapter 911
Upgrade, Heaven and Earth Mystic Root
The celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm and the leaders of the Yellow Heaven Path Heavenly Gang went through a complete review of their understanding of the Heavenly Emperor.
The result was still that the place where the Heavenly Emperor first appeared could not be found.
From everyone's experience of getting to know the Heavenly Emperor, they discovered that when the Heavenly Emperor first appeared before them, he already possessed the strength of the initial stage of the Primordial Realm.
They admired the Heavenly Emperor's power, which is why they befriended him.
Only later did the group receive an invitation from the Heavenly Emperor to venture into the Heavenly Realm together.
This event occurred tens of thousands of years ago.
Tens of thousands of years is a very long time.
Logically speaking, even a Primordial Realm expert shouldn't live this long.
However, these celestial beings gained special abilities after bathing in the blood of Yang Tianjun, making them nearly immortal.
Over these tens of thousands of years, some celestial beings died due to the exhaustion of their lifespan, but they were all resurrected by the Heavenly Emperor using some unknown means.
A Primordial Realm expert can resurrect a martial artist from the river of time, but only if that martial artist died a violent death.
If a martial artist dies of old age, their essence will return to the world, and even a Primordial Realm expert cannot revive them.
But the Heavenly Emperor can.
No one knows how the Heavenly Emperor did it.
At first, they thought it was because the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation was higher than theirs that he could do this, but later they found out that was not the case.
The Heavenly Emperor possesses special abilities that they cannot understand or even imagine.
"If, as you say, the Heavenly Emperor already possesses the ability to be immortal, why would he still covet the corpse of Yang Tianjun?"
Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.
"This immortality is a lie. Although we seem to have lived for tens of thousands of years and can continue to live, living a long time does not mean we will never die."
Ultimately, there is a limit to this timeframe.
A celestial being from the heavens said, "The Heavenly Emperor once let slip that his limit is only about 100,000 years."
Su Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Ten thousand years, and that's all?
A lifespan of 100,000 years is unimaginable for ordinary martial artists.
All things considered, Su Mu has only lived for a little over a hundred years.
Compared to 100,000 years, he wasn't even a baby.
"If his limit is 100,000 years, considering the time you've already lived, it means his lifespan might not be long left?"
Su Mu pondered.
The Heavenly Emperor has known these celestial beings for tens of thousands of years, and he probably lived for a very long time before he knew them.
Otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't have possessed the cultivation level of the initial stage of the Primordial Realm when he first met them.
Based on this calculation, the Heavenly Emperor has most likely lived for nearly 100,000 years.
No wonder he was suddenly in such a hurry, willing to kill the celestial beings of the heavens just to get Yang Tianjun's corpse.
Perhaps, as Su Mu said, the Heavenly Emperor is indeed nearing the end of his lifespan.
"If that's the case, does that mean we don't need to search for the birthplace of the Heavenly Emperor at all?"
"All we need to do is guard Yang Tianjun's corpse and wait for him to die of old age, isn't that enough?"
"It was said by a celestial being from the heavens."
They were still filled with fear at the prospect of fighting the Heavenly Emperor.
Killing the Heavenly Emperor was something I dared not even think about.
They felt that delaying the inevitable was a good approach.
If we drag the Heavenly Emperor to his death, wouldn't that be much safer?
Do you think the Heavenly Emperor is a fool?
Xia Zhizun rolled his eyes and said, "Or are you saying you can stop the Heavenly Emperor from snatching Yang Tianjun's corpse?"
If we had that ability, would we still need to search for the birthplace of the Heavenly Emperor?
They wanted to find another way to take the Heavenly Emperor's life because they were not confident that they could defeat him.
The purpose of searching for the Heavenly Emperor's birthplace is to sever his lifeline.
Otherwise, they would have had no chance of stopping the Heavenly Emperor from seizing Yang Tianjun's corpse.
The celestial beings of that realm fell silent, unable to refute.
He just said it offhand out of fear.
After thinking about it carefully, he knew that this was impossible.
It's easy to imagine that when the Heavenly Emperor attacks again, it will be accompanied by a violent storm.
No one knows just how powerful the Heavenly Emperor really is.
They had no idea how powerful the Heavenly Emperor was.
Given the Heavenly Emperor's profound cunning, they certainly wouldn't believe it if you said he didn't have some hidden tricks up his sleeve.
"Is it possible that this is the place we're looking for?"
Zhang Jiao suddenly spoke up after thinking for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
A celestial being from the heavens frowned.
He was only bowing to Su Mu, not to Zhang Jiao's Huang Tiandao.
He still doesn't think much of Zhang Jiao.
The Heavenly Realm and the Yellow Heavenly Path are clearly separated, even their positions are on the left and right, with Su Mu in the middle.
"What he means is that the celestial realm is the place where the Heavenly Emperor was born."
Su Mu spoke up.
Zhang Jiao nodded and said seriously, "That's exactly what I suspect."
We know nothing about the heavens, but the Heavenly Emperor seems to know everything about them.
Aside from the fact that he was originally from the celestial realm, I really can't think of any other possibility.
We come from all corners of the universe, so logically, if the Heavenly Emperor came from another place, we should have heard of his legends.
But in fact?
In fact, it was as if the Heavenly Emperor had sprung out of a crack in a rock.
Before we knew him, there was no legend of him anywhere in the universe.
Everyone looked thoughtful.
Even the most low-key tree spirit cannot be without any legends.
What Zhang Jiao said might indeed be the truth of the matter.
“We have been in the Heavenly Realm for so many years, and we have been to every inch of this place.”
A celestial being pondered, "But we have never found any plants here."
"If he were so easily discovered, he wouldn't be the Heavenly Emperor."
Su Mu said in a deep voice.
"We have no way to find Yang Tianjun's body for the time being, so let's split up and search the Heavenly Realm again."
Once Su Mu spoke, everyone stopped objecting and nodded in agreement.
After sending everyone away to search the Heavenly Realm, Su Mu sat down cross-legged in front of Yang Tianjun's corpse.
Yang Tianjun's body is located at the Yang polarity point of the celestial realm.
The space at this anode point is very special.
There is no distinction between up, down, left, or right here. When you are in this place, you can't see the top above you, and there is no bottom below you.
It was as if the person was floating in the void.
This is a special spatial structure.
Unless one's cultivation reaches the Primordial Realm, once one enters this place, it will be impossible to leave.
Su Mu was not surprised by this scene.
He had already experienced a similar spatial sensation when he broke into the cathode point.
The universe is vast and full of wonders, with all sorts of spatial structures.
What Su Mu found strange was that Yang Tianjun's corpse seemed to have some connection with this Yang polarity point.
Su Mu thought of the power permeating the cathode point.
That force caused his points on the system panel to increase rapidly.
He suspected that the force within the anode point also had a similar effect.
Unfortunately, the power here has been completely dissolved by the Heavenly Emperor using his original source, so his idea can no longer be verified.
"origin……"
Su Mu pondered to himself.
The remaining essence of the celestial being he had just killed was absorbed by the corpse of this Yang Tianjun.
Just like a sponge absorbing water.
As Su Mu pondered this, he slowly raised his finger.
A burst of light emanated from his fingertips.
That is his own origin.
It is also his mark of existence in the universe.
With a flick of his finger, Su Mu sent the wisp of primordial energy onto Yang Tianjun's body.
In an instant, that mass of life essence had vanished.
At the same time, Su Mu also lost contact with it.
The origin is power.
Su Mu's own origin, in theory, should be able to sense the existence of the origin even across thousands of mountains and rivers.
But now, he has lost his senses.
It was as if this primordial energy had never existed.
They disappeared completely.
Before he could absorb Yang Tianjun's power, a portion of his essence had already been absorbed by Yang Tianjun.
However, Su Mu showed no anger on his face.
This was just an experiment on his part.
Yang Tianjun's corpse can indeed absorb the source.
Do you like the origin?
Su Mu revealed a half-smile on his face.
The next moment, another ball of primordial energy appeared in his hand.
The origin surged and changed like mercury, transforming in the blink of an eye into the shape of a long sword.
Swish!
Su Mu swung his arm, and the long sword formed from his origin struck Yang Tianjun's corpse.
The sound, like a knife cutting through thick cowhide, echoed in the air.
The source was not absorbed this time, but it also did not cut open Yang Tianjun's skin.
Su Mu's expression remained calm and composed.
Once, twice.
The Origin Longsword kept landing in the same spot.
Finally. A soft "plop" sound.
A thin cut finally appeared on Yang Tianjun's corpse.
That gash was almost negligible compared to Yang Tianjun's enormous corpse.
It's as small as if an ordinary person were pricked by a needle.
But this is a breakthrough from zero to one.
Just as Su Mu pierced Yang Tianjun's skin, the system panel in front of him suddenly flashed.
It looks like the screen is distorted.
hum!
Su Mu seemed to hear a soft sound, the system panel flashed, and then the screen went black.
Then a bright bar, resembling a progress bar, appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes.
The bright bar was slowly getting longer.
Su Mu sensed an indescribable power flowing from the small wound on Yang Tianjun's corpse.
Su Mu himself did not experience any changes, but he could feel his system panel absorbing the power within Yang Tianjun's body.
This discovery filled Su Mu with astonishment.
The power of the cathode point caused the system panel's points to surge. Yang Tianjun's power actually caused the system panel to update?
Su Mu frowned slightly.
What is the relationship between my system panel and the Celestial Realm, and why are there so many changes?
The system panel has been with him ever since he appeared in this world.
He didn't know the origin of the system panel either.
As his cultivation level improved, he also tried to study the system panel, but he never found it.
Apart from him, no one else could detect the existence of the system panel.
He didn't know whether the changes to the system panel were good or bad.
Yang Tianjun's power flowed out from that small wound like a thin stream, and then disappeared without a trace.
Even Su Mu couldn't detect where it had disappeared to.
Su Mu knew that the system panel had absorbed this power, but he couldn't detect where the system panel actually was.
Even with his current level of cultivation, he still finds it difficult to comprehend its existence.
Su Mu has always been straightforward; if he can't figure it out, he simply won't think about it anymore.
He had already sensed that the system panel wasn't helping him, so the current changes couldn't be a bad thing.
Su Mu raised his hand, attempting to block the system panel from absorbing Yang Tianjun's power.
However, Yang Tianjun's power is formless and intangible, making it impossible to block.
Su Mu tried to absorb Yang Tianjun's power himself, but it was all in vain.
Yang Tianjun's power was completely different from the martial arts power he understood, and he could sense the existence of that power.
However, his power and Yang Tianjun's power are like water and oil, they cannot be mixed.
"No wonder the Heavenly Emperor was so at ease."
Su Mu thought to himself, "He must be certain that I have no way to absorb Yang Tianjun's power."
If it weren't for the system panel, even if Su Mu broke through Yang Tianjun's skin, he wouldn't be able to do anything about Yang Tianjun's power.
It cannot be absorbed.
"Unfortunately, even the wisest Heavenly Emperor can make a mistake."
He probably never imagined I'd have a system panel on me.
Even Su Mu himself hadn't anticipated this, so how could the Heavenly Emperor have imagined it?
A smile involuntarily appeared on Su Mu's face.
Regardless of whether the changes to the system panel are good or bad, the fact that the Heavenly Emperor has suffered a setback is itself a pleasant thing.
Time passed little by little.
The progress bar in front of Su Mu finally reached the top.
Then the system panel went completely black, as if it were restarting.
The wounds on Yang Tianjun's corpse also stopped oozing power.
Everything seemed to have returned to square one.
Yang Tianjun's corpse did not appear to have changed at all.
But only Su Mu knew that Yang Tianjun's power had been partially lost.
This feeling of theft filled Su Mu with a secret sense of satisfaction.
Without anyone knowing, he had secretly absorbed a portion of Yang Tianjun's power.
Thinking about the Heavenly Emperor's reaction when he discovered this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Heavenly Emperor, all these years of planning have become my wedding dress. You never expected this, did you?"
Su Mu thought to himself.
Just then.
Zhang Jiao is back.
“Your Majesty, there is a place we think you should come and see.”
Zhang Jiao raised his voice.
Su Mu glanced at the system panel out of the corner of his eye.
Its upgrade is not yet complete.
So Su Mu got up, left the Yangyang point, and returned to the Lingxiao Palace.
What did you discover?
Su Mu asked casually.
"We can't say for sure, so we would like to ask you, Heavenly Lord, to take a look."
Zhang Jiao said with a solemn expression.
Su Mu didn't ask any more questions and followed Zhang Jiao outside.
Compared to other places in the universe, the celestial realm is not very large.
Su Mu and Zhang Jiao soon arrived at a place.
Huang Tiandao's Heavenly Gang leader and a group of Heavenly Realm celestial beings gathered here.
Su Mu was also familiar with this place.
It was none other than the Yin Yin point of the celestial realm.
"The Heavenly Emperor once told us that the power of the Yin Yin point would harm us, so he forbade us from approaching the Yin Yin point casually."
When we arrived here, we discovered that the power that had been shrouding the cathode point had disappeared.
Not only did that power disappear, but even the cathode point vanished, leaving only this.
Upon seeing Su Mu arrive, a celestial being from the Heavenly Realm spoke up.
As he spoke, he pointed.
The location of the cathode point was originally a deep abyss with a diameter of 100 zhang, shrouded in thick black mist.
The black mist has now disappeared, and the abyss is gone.
Instead, there was a flat area.
On the flat ground, there was a small sapling.
The sapling was only about a foot tall, with a few emerald green leaves floating on it.
"Could this be the Heavenly Emperor's lifeline?"
A celestial being from the heavens said in a deep voice.
Tree spirits and saplings are just too easy to associate.
But the cathode point suddenly disappeared, and the appearance of the sapling was too coincidental.
Some people suspected that the Heavenly Emperor was deliberately creating a smokescreen.
After all, they had been in the Heavenly Realm for so many years and no saplings had ever appeared here. Why did saplings suddenly sprout up when they were searching for the Heavenly Emperor's lifeline?
Such a coincidence must be suspicious!
Therefore, they did not act rashly, but instead had Zhang Jiao invite Su Mu over.
Su Mu nodded to everyone and stepped over to the sapling.
suddenly.
The leaves on the sapling began to shake violently.
The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, the sapling began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
call!
call!
call!
In just a short while, the sapling had grown into a towering tree.
A tall tree, ten zhang high, with a crown diameter of more than ten zhang.
Cover the sky.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
"Could this be a conspiracy by the Heavenly Emperor?"
What exactly does the Heavenly Emperor want? Is he provoking us?
Xia Zhizun muttered to himself.
"If we can't deal with Yang Tianjun's corpse, surely we can deal with a tree too?"
A celestial being from the heavens agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Let's go all the way! Who cares if it's the lifeblood of the Heavenly Emperor? Let's uproot it first!"
Everyone was eager to get started; if Su Mu hadn't been there, they probably would have already been itching to go up and chop down the tree.
"The Mysterious Root of Heaven and Earth".
Su Mu suddenly spoke up.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him.
"Lord Yintian, what did you say?"
The celestial beings in the heavenly realm now regard Su Mu as Yin Tianjun, just like Huang Tiandao.
Zhao Baiqi, Huo Tu, Chi Mingtang, and Qian Gong Liu were not very familiar with the Heavenly Realm, so they did not express their opinions.
They actually thought that Su Mu might be the Yin Tianjun.
Otherwise, why would Su Mu be so outstanding?
“Yang Tianjun is at the Yang Yang point, and isn’t this Yin Yin point Su Mu’s lair?”
Qian Gong Liu muttered under his breath, "Could this thing be related to Su Mu?"
Although his voice was soft, what level of cultivation did everyone present possess?
Everyone is either at the Primordial Realm or the Primordial Beginning Realm.
His voice was no different from shouting in everyone's ears.
All eyes were on Su Mu, eager for a definitive answer.
"It has nothing to do with me."
Su Mu shook his head and said slowly, "But it has something to do with you."
Su Mu pointed to the celestial beings of the Heavenly Realm, and then to the people of Huangtiandao.
"It has something to do with you celestial beings."
Su Mu added, "To be precise, it's related to this celestial realm." (End of Chapter)
