Chapter 487 - 487 496 Terrifying Upon Careful Thought

487: Chapter 496: Terrifying Upon Careful Thought 487: Chapter 496: Terrifying Upon Careful Thought This matter was none other than the Primordial Spirit.

Whether it was Saints or the various powers of the Three Realms, the Primordial Spirit seemed to know the root of them all.

Even Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad developing self-awareness, which was a secret of immense proportions, did not escape the Primordial Spirit’s Dharma Eye.

Ye Xuan’s thoughts were intricately fearful, and he felt the increasing mysteriousness and unpredictability of the Primordial Spirit.

Ye Xuan knew that the Primordial Spirit was by no means a Saint because, during the year he chased the Primordial Spirit, the latter had said that if it weren’t for the fear of the Saints knowing his true identity, he would have certainly manifested his true form to kill Ye Xuan.

From this, it could also be seen that the Primordial Spirit was not one of the six Saints within Heaven and Earth; he must be a Quasi-Saint without a doubt.

Although there were not many Quasi-Saints, there had been a considerable number since the Sky Opening era, each an earth-shattering figure.

Although Ye Xuan did not know which one of the Quasi-Saints was the Primordial Spirit, this Primordial Spirit was absolutely different from the others, being an extremely mysterious and terrifying presence.

A Quasi-Saint that could know the secrets of Saints, and go unnoticed by the six great Saints, planning a Heaven and Earth chess game across endless Time—this was simply unimaginable.

The Primordial Spirit had played a very large game of chess, including Saints in his calculation, of which Ye Xuan was extremely sure.

As for who the Primordial Spirit really was, Ye Xuan had no way of knowing, but he had a premonition that perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he reached the level of the Quasi-Saints, and he would meet this mysterious mentor of his.

His thoughts in disarray, eyes drifting, Ye Xuan slowly shook his head, dispersing his troubled mind.

Regardless of what was ahead, he would eventually break through the Heaven and Earth chess game laid out by the Primordial Spirit, and he would also find out what the Primordial Spirit ultimately wanted to do.

Perhaps that day would also be when the two of them truly resolved their grievances.

Ye Xuan’s thoughts returned, and he looked around the Doushuai Temple, a smile quietly forming at the corner of his mouth.

Actually, his visit to the Doushuai Temple today had two purposes.

The first was to eliminate the hidden danger posed by Lord Lao Zi, and as for the second purpose, it was actually quite simple.

Elixirs!

Yes, it was elixirs.

The Doushuai Temple was one of the forbidden places of the Heavenly Court.

Countless elixirs had been kept here over endless Time.

Even if a mortal took one, they could ascend to become an immortal.

This was also the greatest trump card for Ye Xuan to build his foundation.

With the elixirs from the Doushuai Temple, he could rapidly enhance the cultivation of his subordinates, truly compete with the various Daoist sects, and become the rightful co-ruler of the Three Realms.

Buzz!

A Purple Gold Gourd was drawn in by Ye Xuan.

When he pulled out the wooden stopper, a dazzling golden light sprayed out from the gourd, and an extremely rich fragrance of elixir wafted towards him.

Whoosh!

Without any hesitation, Ye Xuan directly poured out the Nine Revolutions Daluo Golden Pills, swallowing dozens of them at once, and then began to refine the Immortal Pills within him, seated cross-legged in the Doushuai Temple.

Cultivation knew no Time, and in a blink, ten years had passed.

During these ten years, Ye Xuan first ingested the Nine Revolutions Daluo Golden Pills, and then, without letting any elixir that could enhance cultivation slip by, his cultivation, which had just entered the Daluo Second Layer Heaven, climbed wildly, until on this day, ten years later, as a thunderous boom came from within his body, his own cultivation also stepped into the Daluo Third Layer Heaven.

Since Ye Xuan’s return to the Heavenly Court, a hundred years had passed, and with the effects of the Peach and the Golden Pills, he had leapt across two great realms.

This was incredible fortune, as well as what Ye Xuan had always wanted to do.

In fact, if an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal were to consume Peaches and Golden Pills like beans as Ye Xuan did, even a pig would be able to step into the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

But Ye Xuan’s path was that of Proving Dao with Power.

The immortal power his body required was terrifying beyond imagination.

Even after he had consumed so many Peach Golden Pills, he had just barely entered the Daluo Third Layer Heaven.

The path to Proving Dao with Power and ascending to sainthood was difficult, and Ye Xuan deeply understood that he had only just entered the hall of Proving Dao with Power.

Each increase in his cultivation was a tremendous blessing.

All kinds of Spiritual Medicines and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots were items that Ye Xuan urgently needed.

The Peach Golden Pill was now of no use to him; only the legendary Ginsengfruit and the Spiritual Medicines born from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots could enhance his cultivation once more.

Of course, besides these Spiritual Medicines and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, if Ye Xuan could devour entities at the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge, his own cultivation would also surge once again.

If a Quasi-Saint allowed him to devour them, perhaps he could directly step into the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge, and even catch a glimpse of the realm of Quasi-Saints.

One must eat bite by bite, walk step by step; this principle was well understood by Ye Xuan.

Even if there were an entity at the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge present now, Ye Xuan would not have the ability to kill it, let alone use the Tribulation Immortal Skill to devour it.

Perhaps some would ask, didn’t Ye Xuan kill the Jade Emperor?

Wasn’t the Jade Emperor one who stepped into the realm of Daluo Seventh Layer Heaven, so why couldn’t Ye Xuan kill the other entities at the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge?

The reason is simple; the Jade Emperor forcibly elevated himself to Daluo Seventh Layer Heaven by severing his Daoist roots, and whether it was his cultivation or his Immortal Laws, they were far from those of a true entity at the Daluo Third Water Dividing Ridge.

While Ye Xuan could naturally kill him by using the Tribulation Immortal Transformation, if it were entities like the Peacock Great Ming King or Duobao Tathagata, Ye Xuan did not have the confidence to kill them.

So, although Ye Xuan was currently at the Three Layer Heaven, he did not dare to slack off in his cultivation, because he knew his journey had just begun.

A century passes in the blink of an eye.

In seven days, the coronation would take place, and Ye Xuan would officially ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.

…

Inside the Dou Niu Palace.

The hall had no ceiling; golden sunlight poured down, drenching Ye Xuan’s surroundings, casting him in such incandescent purity that he seemed to become the sole existence between heaven and earth.

Inhale, Exhale!

Streams of Immortal Light ebbed in and out of Ye Xuan’s mouth and nose, causing the surrounding void to rumble thunderously.

“Please allow the Heavenly Emperor to bathe and change clothes!”

Nine fairies, draped in white gauze, of stunning beauty, were approaching Ye Xuan, each holding items to be adorned by the Heavenly Emperor.

The black and gold Heavenly Emperor’s Battle Robe, a Heavenly Emperor’s Sword steaming with Immortal Light, a pair of Nine Dragons Cloud Boots, and an imposingly luxurious Heavenly Emperor’s Crown lay in the hands of the fairies.

An Immortal Pond appeared out of nowhere, with its spring water gently rippling as the Immortal Essence within it evaporated, clearly meant for Ye Xuan to cleanse and change his clothes.

Clearly, today marked the day Ye Xuan would officially ascend to the position of the Heavenly Emperor, and also the beginning of his rule over the Three Realms.

Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his surrounding Immortal Light gradually receding.

Under the somewhat shy glances of the nine fairies, they began to undress him, revealing Ye Xuan’s body, glass-like in clarity.

Stepping into the Immortal Pond under the shy gazes of the fairies, they began to wash his body.

Within the Immortal Pond, mist was rising.

The nine fairies undressed, serving Ye Xuan with shy and modest grace, while Ye Xuan sat in the midst of the pond, eyes slightly closed and without any trace of embarrassment on his face.

Though these nine fairies were rare beauties in the Three Realms for both face and form, Ye Xuan did not show any lascivious intent, evidently, his mind was not there at all.

Soon, Ye Xuan was washed, and he stepped out of the Immortal Pond.

A flash of Immortal Light, and he was clothed in black garments that covered his body; then he let the nine fairies comb his lustrous locks.
