Chapter 970: Chapter 826: Emperor Lord

Falling Sky Island.

Fang Xi’s true form sat cross-legged, with the Mother Qi of All Woods converging above his head, weaving into his Heavenly Spirit, restoring the Magic Power of the Kuyong Skills he had just used up.

"Although that sword was powerful, it consumed all my Magic Power. If it hadn’t succeeded, it would have been a defeat... It is the most extreme sword strike."

"Had I not had the Treasures of All Heavens to save my life, it would be best to use that sword move less in the future."

Fang Xi muttered to himself, looking at his Divine Avatar.

This Divine Avatar, having left the Black Mountain Range, appeared somewhat weak in its divine power.

But that was just a facade.

After all, its foundation was the ’Mountain Pearl’, and as long as I put a little effort into Sacrificial Refining, even promoting it to the seventh order wouldn’t be too difficult.

"A true third-ranking Black Mountain God!"

Looking at the Divine Decree inside the Divine Avatar, Fang Xi couldn’t help but smile slightly, "From today onward, you are the Taoist Emperor of Falling Sky Island."

With the ability of the ’God Sealing List,’ it was a very simple matter to control many Deities, then gather fortune and become an Emperor.

Not long after, a flash of silver light.

The Heterodox Avatar also arrived inside the Dongfu.

The three Fang Xis sat facing each other.

The true form of Fang Xi seemed ethereal and detached, yet radiated a vitality lush and vibrant, like a towering ancient tree.

The Heterodox Avatar wore a black robe, his expression cold and unyielding, like eternal ice.

The Divine Avatar, however, was dressed in imperial garments, most majestic, but its aura was the weakest among the three.

The Heterodox Avatar remained silent. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and two beams of light shot out, one to the left and one to the right, towards both the true form and the Divine Avatar.

Fang Xi’s true form reached out and caught a Fortune Worm that appeared before him.

"This journey to the world of the Divine Path, even if there were no other gains, just having this ’Void Transmute Darkish Plough’s Head, Seven Star Dais’ is a profit," he said, with a hint of joy on his face.

With his current expertise as a seventh-order Array Master, he could completely revamp this Divine Array into an array of the same order!

And using the ’Fortune Worm’ as an anchor, it would greatly enhance the power of the ’Disaster Dispelling Calamity Resolving Fortune Dark Light’.

Combined with the ’Mysterious Dark Removes Calamity and Darkness Divine Light’ within the ’Mysterious Dark Banner’, it might even pose a death threat to cultivators at the latter stages of Integration.

In the future, my path to becoming a Ninth Order Immortal Array Master would lie therein.

"Three Arrays Combined as One, the Nine Curves Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array is completed..."

"The path of an Array Master, finally smooth and unimpeded," Fang Xi remarked with quite some emotion.

Choosing to supplement his cultivation with the array path was a decision he made from the start.

Now, this Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation would ultimately reach the very peak of the Earth Immortal Realm!

"A cause for celebration, indeed... a cause for celebration..."

After reflecting on his achievements, Fang Xi then turned his attention to check other things.

What he saw in the hands of the Divine Avatar was astonishingly the treasure of Lord Qingtong!

At this moment, as a sliver of his Divine Consciousness entered this Divine Decree, he immediately saw a white light suppressed at the deepest part of the Divine Seal!

Within the white light, astonishingly, was a fragment of a talisman!

This talisman was pure white, emanating an air of supreme grandeur and sovereign nobility...

"Is this actually a part of the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree’? How could I possibly manage to cut a piece of the Heavenly Emperor’s Decree?"

"It seems that the Heavenly Emperor deliberately ’let his guard down’, essentially exposing a weakness for me to strike with my strongest sword... Thus, by his active cooperation, I was able to cut off a corner of the Heavenly Emperor’s Decree."

As for why he allowed me to cut off a corner of this talisman, Fang Xi felt that the Heavenly Emperor did it on purpose, probably in relation to cleansing the contamination of the Heavenly Path.

"After all... considering the cause and effect rules of that minor world, the cause and effect rules within the Heavenly Court of the Medium Thousand Worlds would only be more unfathomable... I owe a life-saving grace to the Heavenly Emperor, and if he doesn’t provide something of equivalent value, he might find it difficult to rid himself of karma and ascend smoothly..."

The Divine Avatar’s expression grew serious as he began to assimilate the divine position of that ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor’!

In that Medium Thousand World and its subordinate minor worlds, the Divine Avatar dared not assimilate Lord Qingtong’s divine position and fall into the web of karma.

But in the Earth Immortal Realm, there were no prohibitions.

Additionally, with the support of his true form and the Heterodox Avatar, it wasn’t long before the Divine Avatar let out an earth-shattering roar, its imperial dress shifting once more, adorned now with patterns of wind, fire, thunder and lightning—seven Chapters in total... This was the garb of a ruler, more ancient in style, signifying that he had become a ’Heavenly Lord’!

’Lord’ denotes an inherent part of private authority. Even within the Heavenly Court, they act as regional monarchs, capable of slightly resisting the Heavenly Emperor.

In the Earth Immortal Realm, it was equivalent to achieving Integration!

"It’s a pity that it is merely an Integration cultivator..."

The Divine Avatar’s face developed some green lines resembling facial tattoo patterns, but it paid no heed to them and turned its attention back to the bottom of the Divine Seal, to that corner of the pure white ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree’.

"The aura of the Heavenly Path... Indeed, the Heavenly Emperor sealed a large portion of the Heavenly Path’s contamination within this fragment, then allowed me to cut it off. By doing so, he completely eliminated the calamity and settled our karma..."

The Divine Avatar murmured: "Heavenly Path... This is really... like a pillow offered while dozing off!"

Assimilation with the Heavenly Path is in itself a huge opportunity, equivalent to having the laws of heaven and earth bestowed upon one!

Had I still been in that Divine Path world, I certainly wouldn’t dare to absorb it directly.

After all, doing so would mean being assimilated by that world.

But in the Earth Immortal Realm, it was different.

The contamination from that Heavenly Path does not suit the Earth Immortal Realm.

Or rather, it is precisely because of some differences in the ’Heavenly and Earthly Laws’ between the two that understanding them here does not actually lead to assimilation with heaven and earth.

But conversely, he was able to perceive the world more deeply, obtaining immense benefits, even elevating his law comprehension to an inconceivable level.

"Wait a moment..."

As a sliver of divine power from the God Path Incarnation landed on a corner of the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree,’ it suddenly sensed an infinitely vast and ancient aura.

What followed was a message from the Heavenly Emperor:

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, not of this realm. Originally crossing over with the ’Land God’s Decree,’ I gathered incense fire, ascended to godhood, and created the God Path... step by step, achieving the position of an Emperor in the divine hierarchy."

"It’s precisely because the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree’ carries the aura of another world that it’s not accepted by the local Heavenly Path, preventing a complete integration. This allows it to maintain a trace of humanity..."

"However, benefits come with drawbacks... After I fully became one of the Deities, other Innate Gods began to emerge in this Heavenly and Earthly realm... Although I created the God Path, in the end, I was still calculated by the heavens and the earth..."

"Sir, you saved my humanity, and so I shall repay you with this item. It will cancel out our karmic debts!"

...

"This..."

The pupils of the God Path Incarnation narrowed slightly. "This Heavenly Emperor, was also a traveler from another world? He carried the Land God’s Decree to cross over, and then created the God Path? Step by step to become the Heavenly Emperor?"

This news would be a shocking event in the Heavenly Court.

But to Fang Xi, it was just another story...

He had traversed who knows how many times himself!

What interested him more was the countermeasures of that Heavenly Court world.

"According to what the Heavenly Emperor mentioned, the original Heavenly and Earthly realm had no God Path, and he was the pioneer..."

"Once the Daoism Hierarchy was perfected, Innate Gods started to appear. They could even autonomously elevate their Divine Rank, which at one point caused the Heavenly Emperor great panic, to the point of taking action to exterminate and control..."

"But the greater the oppression, the fiercer the rebound..."

"In the end, as the assimilation by the Heavenly Path became more severe, the Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to ’Integrate with the Heavenly Path’, essentially going from a company chairman of the God Path to a laborer for the Heavenly Path... an intolerable predicament!"

"Generous is my rescue of him, and claiming a corner of the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree’ as compensation seems fair value to settle karma."

With this thought, Fang Xi felt that the rejection from the corner of the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree’ weakened to almost nothing.

With a thought, the ’Divine Decree of Lord Qingtong of the Mahayana Wood Office’ floated down.

That corner of the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree’ immediately turned into a beam of white light, merging with the decree of Lord Qingtong!

The God Path Incarnation stood in shock, feeling an overwhelming and endless aura surging towards him.

An endless comprehension of the Heavenly and Earthly Laws spontaneously emerged in his Sea of Consciousness, akin to being ’baptized’!

The Void, Light and Time, Fortune, Karma, Thunder...

All kinds of laws shed their mysterious veils before him.

But these were not the most important part!

Suddenly, the ’Divine Decree of Lord Qingtong of the Mahayana Wood Office’ flashed with light, then emitted a seven-colored halo.

The seven-colored halos merged into one, turning into an exalted circle of white light.

Within the white light, a brand new Divine Decree floated up!

Inscribed with—’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor’!

"Evergreen Emperor?"

"Is it actually an Emperor status?"

Fang Xi was taken aback.

But then again, thinking that the ’Heavenly Emperor’s Decree’ was the source of all divine paths and an object traversed from another world, it must possess transformative and miraculous effects.

After his own Godhood Position merged with a corner, ascending to the status of an Emperor seemed understandable?

"In the God Path Hierarchy, above the heavenly lords, there are the heavenly kings, heavenly supremes, and emperors!"

"Of course, among the Emperors, the ’Heavenly Emperor’ has an extraordinary status."

"Heavenly kings and heavenly supremes are almost equivalent to the Mahayana Period, and God Path Emperors are the same, but with an added layer of ’Emperor status,’ meaning they have the power of life and death over the lower deities!"

Fang Xi believed that although the heavenly lords all had some power to resist, if the Heavenly Emperor really decided to cleanse the various heavenly supremes, heavenly kings, and heavenly lords in the Heavenly Court... perhaps after paying a heavy price, success could be achieved!

Because the Heavenly Decrees are strict, the Heavenly Emperor controls all, which is the foundation of the Heavenly Decrees!

Put another way, those heavenly lords, heavenly kings, and heavenly supremes could only kneel, never to rise again...

’In the world of the God Path, even if I integrated with this Heavenly Emperor’s Decree, the highest position I could claim would be a ’Heavenly Supreme’...’

’But on Falling Sky Island, having inadvertently become the master of the God Path... it’s the status of an Emperor!’

Fang Xi’s eyes gleamed.

This God Path Incarnation had suddenly become the strongest combatant in his hands!

Upon sensing further, he noticed something amiss: "Although it has the status of an Emperor, the divine power seems too scant... it requires a massive accumulation."

"In other words, the God Path Incarnation ’Evergreen Emperor’ has no cultivation bottleneck. As long as the power of faith or the number of subordinate deities increase, it would be able to surge to the strength of the Mahayana Period!"

The Heavenly Emperor of the God Path world is nearly invincible, because of the substitution of one’s heart for the Heavenly Heart.

Unless the Evergreen Emperor can refine the origin of the Earth Immortal Realm, issue Heavenly Decrees, and replace the Heavenly and Earthly Rules, it is probably forever impossible to reach the pinnacle beyond the Mahayana that the Heavenly Emperor at his peak achieved.

But for Fang Xi, the combat power of the Mahayana level was already enough!

"It’s just that the Earth Immortal Realm will also undergo ’Taoist Transformation,’ so I can only try to counteract it with the ’lose me’ nature of Human Taoist Incense Fire... Even when the transformation becomes severe, I can choose to abandon this God Path Incarnation!"

Fang Xi’s original body had dark and profound eyes. His foundation had always been the Immortal Path!

Meanwhile, the God Path Incarnation even began to voluntarily enter slumber.

The Law Comprehension of the Heavenly and Earthly rules included in the ’Evergreen Emperor’ Godhood Position, and even the various Divine Skills and Divine Powers... the number was too staggering, virtually as vast as an ocean, and needed to be slowly digested.
