214 – Suppressing Yu Daohong! Meeting Ye Chen!

In the midst of everyone’s shock, your expression also changed. You never expected that replenishing the fundamentals of the Spacetime Dao Body and making it flawless would attract such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation…

However, you quickly recalled some secrets recorded in the classics of the Taiyi Emperor Palace that you once read. It is said that the emergence of extremely powerful constitutions would be tested by the heavens, attracting terrifyingly powerful Heavenly Tribulations…

If one survives, they can use the power of the tribulation to become even stronger. If they don’t survive, and cannot withstand the purification power of the tribulation, everything will turn to empty space and disappear completely…

The perfect Spacetime Dao Body undoubtedly meets this condition, reaching a level that even the most powerful Sacred Body cannot touch. You realize that perhaps this complete Spacetime Dao Body has already touched the realm of immortals. If you pass this Heavenly Tribulation, purifying your Spacetime Dao Body further with its power, you might be able to compete against Lei Wanqian’s Great Thunder Immortal Physique…

Then, you exhaled lightly, the fervent battle spirit surging in your eyes, laughing heartily to the sky as you actively rushed towards the Heavenly Tribulation, willing to bear through this terrifying tribulation…

As for Cai Yonglong and others, they were so stunned and numb that they quickly fled to avoid being encompassed by the full formation of the tribulation, which would surely turn them to ashes…

Meanwhile, those Supremes and quasi-Emperors noticed your presence, shocked in their hearts that the Spacetime Dao Body had become flawless, and that you actively rushed towards the tribulation with such madness. If you survive, the world will have one more terrifying monster, and as long as you don’t fall midway, you are likely to become an Emperor in the future…

If you become an Emperor, you will be an outstanding one among Emperors, rarely having opponents at the same level. Even if you fail to prove yourself as an Emperor, as long as you reach the level of Great Perfection of a quasi-Emperor, you can compete with Emperors using the complete Spacetime Dao Body, and defeating them wouldn’t be impossible…

Throughout history, only those prodigies with special constitutions can challenge Emperors, even hoping to defeat them. Otherwise, even with the top-tier Sacred Bodies like the Scarlet Flame Sacred Body or Extreme Cold Sacred Body, it’s difficult to truly compete against Emperors. Even if the constitution is developed to its perfect level, it can only temporarily contend with Emperors, but with time, they will ultimately be defeated…

Only constitutions like the Spacetime Dao Body and the Great Thunder Immortal Physique can enhance combat strength truly terrifyingly once fully developed. Of course, possessing a strong constitution but developing it to its fullest extent is extremely difficult. It’s a mixture of fortune and misfortune, with benefits and drawbacks…

But no matter the situation, before proving the three forms of the Dao, the Spacetime Dao Body and Great Thunder Immortal Physique have an absolute crushing advantage over owners of Sacred Bodies; they cannot be compared…

Amidst the shock of all sides, you begin to undergo the tribulation. This time, the tribulation is truly terrifying, and even with the perfect Spacetime Dao Body and skyrocketing battle power, you almost didn’t make it through…

However, this was also because you replenished the Spacetime Dao Body later on, without comprehending the Time Laws. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so miserable. Only with the comprehension of both Time and Space Laws and the assistance of spacetime-related Emperor-level methods can the true advantages of the Spacetime Dao Body be fully utilized…

Unfortunately, you currently lack the Time Laws and the corresponding Emperor’s scripture for cultivation, so the power of the Spacetime Dao Body can only be partially utilized, making you look so pathetic, unlike the prodigious Lei Wanqian with the Great Thunder Immortal Physique…

Of course, you are not in a great hurry. After all, the Time Laws can be comprehended gradually; with enough time, you will eventually grasp the Great Perfection of Time Laws. As for the Spacetime Emperor’s scripture, you also have a clue…

In a previous simulation, you obtained a fragment of an Emperor’s scripture. To get this fragment, you even gave up other rewards…

After years of research, coupled with records in the Taiyi Emperor Palace classics, you successfully identified the location of the remaining fragment, which is recorded as involving an Emperor’s scripture about time…

‘Damn! Is this fragment really that significant?’

Wang Ping, looking at the text simulation content, was utterly shocked…

At that time, he only wanted to learn more Emperor’s scriptures to deepen his foundation, so he gave up the talent and chose this fragment, because if he didn’t choose it, it would be gone…

Who could have thought that this fragment would be so significant, containing the information on the cultivation method he needed the most…

‘This time, I’m really going to make it big! If I cultivate both Time and Space Secret Techniques, along with the perfect Spacetime Dao Body, how powerful could I be? Would I be able to surpass Lei Wanqian with his Great Thunder Immortal Physique?’

Wang Ping thought excitedly…

No, no, I can definitely suppress him. The perfect Spacetime Dao Body is already on par with his Great Thunder Immortal Physique; what I lack now is merely the compatibility of the methods. He cultivates a Thunder-related Emperor’s scripture, which is most suitable for him. In this, I am at a disadvantage. However, if I cultivate both Spacetime Emperor’s scriptures, I could, in fact, gain an advantage in this aspect!

“Additionally, I also possess enhancing talents like the purple talent: Infinite Blade and the golden talent: Multiple Renditions! Although the probability of triggering these talents has significantly decreased as my level increased, they are still only purple and golden talents, which clearly aren’t sufficient at the Great Saint level, especially the purple talent: Infinite Blade. But, as long as either of them triggers even once or twice, defeating Lei Wanqian would be a certainty.”

The more he thought about it, the more excited Wang Ping became, envisioning the future.

“However, even though I’ve obtained the Emperor’s scripture of Time and mastered the techniques of spacetime, I might still find it challenging to contend with Gu Xuan despite surpassing Lei Wanqian and his Great Thunder Immortal Physique. Who is Gu Xuan exactly? What special physique does he have, and what kind of scripture is he cultivating? It’s truly perplexing.”

At this thought, Wang Ping calmed down and once again thought of Gu Xuan from the Eternal Life Gu family.

The Eternal Life Gu family is the only family that survived the long dark age, their heritage is unfathomable and they must have produced many emperors. During that dark age, when everything withered, the Eternal Life Gu family persisted, possibly having collected all cultivation methods from the previous epoch.

Because of this, no matter which power, they are far behind the Gu family in terms of Emperor’s scriptures, Divine Abilities, and Secret Techniques.

However, this isn’t enough to completely place the Gu family above other anomalies.

“Either he possesses a physique or bloodline more terrifying than the Great Thunder Immortal Physique, or he is cultivating a scripture that surpasses the Emperor’s scripture, something from the legendary Immortal Scriptures.”

These bold speculations emerged in Wang Ping’s mind, and he found it difficult to remain calm.

If Gu Xuan is indeed cultivating an Immortal Scripture, then that would be too terrifying… who could be his opponent at the same realm?

However, if so, it also explains why he is so powerful, even Lei Wanqian was effortlessly suppressed by him.

“Sigh, perhaps I’m overthinking it… The Eternal Life Gu family and Gu Xuan, whatever secrets they hold, once I continue the simulations, I will gradually uncover them. There’s no need to be too concerned for now. As it stands, I haven’t even collected all the fragments of the map, nor have I wholly obtained the Emperor’s scripture of Time.”

Wang Ping exhaled softly, calming himself, and continued to gaze at the screen.

【In the Upper Realm, there once existed a highly formidable emperor who walked the path of time, known as Dark Time Emperor. He was a king among emperors, and few could rival him. His talent and combat prowess were said to be astonishing throughout history.】

【It can be said that if you can gather the fragments and obtain the Emperor’s scripture of the Dark Time Emperor, you can truly unleash the power of the Spacetime Dao Body. The two will complement each other, propelling your combat strength to terrifying levels.】

【As for the Emperor’s scripture pertaining to space, it’s relatively easier to find. The Upper Realm is vast, and though not many emperors followed the path of space, there have been several. Even now, there is a current emperor who follows the path of space, known as the Devour Space Emperor, a peerless talent whose might is heralded throughout history.】

【However, the Devour Space Emperor did not establish his own imperial power and remains a very solitary figure, always elusive. Finding him and having him teach you the Devour Space Emperor’s scripture is not an easy task.】

【Moreover, there’s a crucial issue. You have already joined the Taiyi Emperor Palace, and if you wish to obtain the Emperor’s scriptures from other emperors, that is evidently an improbable endeavor.】

【Nevertheless, you aren’t in a rush. If during this simulation you cannot switch to the Devour Space Emperor’s palace to freeload the Devour Space Emperor’s scripture, you can simply seek him out in the next simulation.】

【With the simulations, you have infinite choices and possibilities.】

【As ideas churn in your mind, you also use the final power of the Tribulation Lightning to temper the Spacetime Dao Body, making it even more powerful. Additionally, your physique also strengthens significantly. Once the Heavenly Tribulation is over, your heart fills with immense joy.】

【It is at this moment that a quasi-emperor strikes, attempting to capture you. Clearly, a perfect Spacetime Dao Body is too rare, and obtaining it would signify a great fortune.】

【Therefore, even though it might completely offend the Taiyi Emperor Palace and possibly lead to a personal pursuit by Emperor Tianyu, the quasi-emperor couldn’t care less.】

【Just as this quasi-emperor strikes, a quasi-emperor from the Ji family also reacts, letting out a cold snort and similarly making a move to block the attack, protecting you.】

With the clash of two quasi-emperors, terrifying power spread, chilling you to the core. At the same time, it enraged you. You stared intently at the quasi-emperor who attacked, wanting to remember his aura for future revenge. Whether in reality or in simulation, you will make sure he has no burial place…

Unfortunately, the quasi-emperor was using a secret technique of the Nine-Star Pavilion to conceal his identity. You couldn’t discern who he was. Clearly, the assailant was a cultivator who had joined the Nine-Star Pavilion.

Of course, you were not disappointed. Even if you couldn’t see his identity, as long as the emperor intervened, he could definitely be identified. After all, while the secret techniques of the Nine-Star Pavilion are extraordinary, they are not completely unsolvable. With enough cultivation, one can undoubtedly unveil his hidden face and the practices and abilities he’s cultivated.

As thoughts churned in your mind, that quasi-emperor, seeing the Ji family’s quasi-emperor protect you and even contemplating using the Ji family’s Emperor’s Weapon, felt a surge of hate and fled the scene.

With that, peace returned to the region, and you were no longer under attack, allowing you to breathe a sigh of relief. If possible, you clearly did not want to use the golden talent: Teleportation—this life-saving talent—to escape in the midst of a battle between two quasi-emperors.

Although the golden talent: Teleportation had pleasantly surprised you many times, you also remembered the experiences when it teleported you to a death trap.

As you sighed in relief, the Wang family also sighed. Your close relationship with the Ji family was definitely not good news for them. However, they did not dare to act against you. After all, if they did, even if you died, the Wang family would be utterly eradicated by the Taiyi Emperor Palace, with no chance of survival.

Soon, everything settled down. After stabilizing yourself at the Ji family, you bade farewell to Ji Bingyan and left the Ji family, ready to return to the Taiyi Emperor Palace.

On your way back to the Taiyi Emperor Palace, you unexpectedly encountered someone…

This person was none other than Ye Chen. Now, Ye Chen’s cultivation had reached the third level of the Saint King, a level higher than the Saint realm you had predicted in your previous simulation.

However, Ye Chen’s condition was clearly not good, as he was being chased by a Great Saint. Although his strength had been boosted by the assistance of his Ring Grandma, he was still no match for the Great Saint.

Seeing this, you swiftly intervened and instantly killed the Great Saint. This scene shocked both Ye Chen and Ring Grandma to the core. After all, your current revealed cultivation was only half-step Great Saint…

A half-step Great Saint, dispatching a Great Saint with a single move…such combat power was exceedingly terrifying, something only the top ten monsters on the Saint King List could achieve.

After a brainstorm, Ye Chen and Ring Grandma recognized you as the second emperor’s son of the Taiyi Dao Palace, and they quickly thanked you for your assistance.

You found this quite amusing. Since leaving the Great Origin Ancient Star, you had always used the Nine-Star Pavilion’s secret technique to conceal your identity and traveled under an alias, making it rare for anyone to recognize you.

As for how Ji Bingyan knew that the second emperor’s son of the Taiyi Emperor Palace was Wang Ping himself, it was simply that women, on average, have a better knack for detail and discerned your identity through your Life-bound Sacred Weapon.

When you left the Purple Spirit Realm, you had left some arrangements, and naturally, you had met Ji Bingyan. Perhaps, at that time, she had glimpsed the style and name of your Life-bound Weapon, which led to some connections and attempts to link things together.

You then had the half-step Supreme protecting you in secret temporarily leave and chose to show your true face. When Ye Chen saw your true face, he was utterly shocked. He never imagined that the second emperor’s son of the Taiyi Emperor Palace was his long-lost master.

Ring Grandma was also astounded, not expecting that Ye Chen’s often bragged-about master was the second emperor’s son of the Taiyi Emperor Palace. This was too astonishing. The second emperor’s son of the Taiyi Emperor Palace was destined to become a Supreme and had the hope of stepping into the quasi-emperor realm.

The fact that such a figure had ascended from the Lower Realm ten thousand years ago was truly frightening. For a moment, Ring Grandma could only think that the Purple Spirit Realm, this small place in the Lower Realm, indeed produced talented individuals.

Next, you and Ye Chen began catching up. Ye Chen bitterly recounted how miserable he had been all these years. Since his ascension to the Upper Realm, he had been imprisoned and hunted, nearly dying several times. Although he ultimately survived and gained many opportunities, significantly boosting his strength, thinking back still filled him with lingering fear.

Hearing this, you sighed, feeling that without these experiences, you wouldn’t have grown to this extent and even your physique couldn’t have transformed to a level just short of the Sacred Body.

Ye Chen was also emotional, admitting it was good fortune that he obtained a Secret Technique that allowed him to strengthen his physique by devouring powerful flames. Over the years, he had relied on this Secret Technique to enhance his talent to such a level…

Speaking of this, Ye Chen’s expression grew serious and expectant as he curiously asked if you knew of Hell Ancient Star.

Hearing Ye Chen mention Hell Ancient Star, you were quite surprised and also recalled the scenes from your previous simulation where you set foot on Hell Ancient Star. Among those scenes, the uprising of the Hell Ancient Star stood out the most, especially the white flames that could even melt the Supreme Artifact, Black Abyss Demon Spear, which still makes your heart shudder.

That flame undoubtedly held power at the Supreme level, and it was likely far beyond just an ordinary Supreme level.

As these thoughts flashed through your mind, you nodded and affirmed that you had been there but encountered nothing special. Upon hearing this, Ye Chen gave a bitter smile, displaying a mix of trepidation and yearning, stating that he had obtained his Secret Technique on Hell Ancient Star. However, he also revealed that he had nearly died there, almost turning into ashes.

On Hell Ancient Star, there exists more than one terrifying flame. Among them, the white flame is the most dreadful. Ye Chen shared that after years of investigation, he speculates that the white flame might be an ‘Emperor’s Flame,’ containing significant secrets. If he could refine that flame, he would truly step into the ranks of the demonic geniuses of the Upper Realm.

Listening to Ye Chen, you were quite surprised, not expecting that Ye Chen could uncover so much information and directly clarify part of the truth about the white flame, which you were not aware of. When you first encountered the white flame, even with a Supreme Artifact protecting you, you almost perished, let alone uncovering its secrets.

For this, you felt that Ye Chen indeed lived up to being the ‘Fortune’s Favored Son’ of the trash-to-treasure variety, and his good luck was something many cultivators admired.

After continuing to chat with Ye Chen for a while, you invited him to join Taiyi Emperor Palace. As for Ring Grandma, you would also ask some alchemy elders to help restore her physical body.

Ye Chen was overjoyed at this, naturally agreeing to it. Ring Grandma was equally ecstatic, her heart unable to remain calm, and she expressed boundless gratitude and loyalty to you. She never thought she would one day join Taiyi Emperor Palace, not to mention you were willing to help her revive her physical body.

Originally, she had hoped for Ye Chen to become a Supreme or at least a half-step Supreme before helping her restore her body. However, after experiencing so many life-and-death situations with Ye Chen, she doubted whether she could live to see that day, as each situation had her heart constantly on edge. Now, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

You smiled, not saying much more, and chose to summon your Guardians, heading together to Taiyi Emperor Palace. Just as you were heading back, a piece of news spread across the Central Immortal Continent ahead of you.

Baixiaosheng directly announced your latest status, detailing how your Spacetime Dao Body had become complete and how you passed a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. Baixiaosheng identified you as the ‘Young Emperor’ and placed you third on the Saint King List.

For a moment, many forces and cultivators of the Central Immortal Continent were shocked, not expecting Taiyi Emperor Palace’s second Emperor’s Son to have such opportunities. Many imperial-level and quasi-imperial-level forces began to envy Taiyi Emperor Palace, feeling that its luck was extraordinary.

After all, among the top ten on the Saint King List, Taiyi Emperor Palace alone occupied two seats, with one ranked third and the other previously fifth but now sixth. This was indeed terrifying.

Compared to other forces’ envy, the old monsters of Taiyi Emperor Palace were similarly alarmed but followed by great joy, never expecting another dragon to emerge from Taiyi Emperor Palace. Perhaps, in this era, Taiyi Emperor Palace might witness the grand event of producing three emperors in one lineage!

All the Emperor’s Sons were shocked and envious of your opportunities but then became interested, eagerly anticipating the upcoming developments.

In their eyes, you had previously lost to Yu Daohong, but now, with your Spacetime Dao Body refined and being ranked third on the Saint King List, once you returned to Taiyi Emperor Palace, you would definitely battle Yu Daohong. What a spectacular event that would be, beyond anyone’s imagination. Additionally, it would greatly benefit their cultivation.

As all sides were in motion, you returned to Taiyi Emperor Palace. After returning, your first thought was not to challenge Yu Daohong but to directly start challenging Taiyi Heavenly Path.

Under everyone’s gaze, you successfully ascended to the fifteenth level of Taiyi Emperor Palace, directly breaking the record of the fourteenth level set by Yu Daohong and the old emperors. This caused a huge commotion throughout Taiyi Emperor Palace.

As for the quasi-emperor who wanted to take you as a disciple, he was equally unsettled, marveling at your great ambition and admitting he was indeed unqualified to be your master.

Just as everyone was shocked and the quasi-emperor was filled with emotions, a phenomenon occurred, and imperial might appeared, shaking the entire Taiyi Emperor Palace. It was Taiyi Emperor Palace’s current emperor, Great Emperor Tian Yu, the Heavenly Feather Emperor, who descended.

Under everyone’s gaze, Great Emperor Tian Yu first praised you and then asked if you would accept him as your master. Hearing this, you were overjoyed and without hesitation, accepted to study under Great Emperor Tian Yu.

Thus, you became the direct disciple of Great Emperor Tian Yu, and your status was immensely elevated. Following this, Great Emperor Tian Yu bestowed upon you some treasures and a large number of sect contribution points before disappearing.

Seeing this, you felt inwardly delighted and left the Taiyi Heavenly Path. At this moment, Taiyi Emperor Palace’s first Emperor’s Son, the son of Great Emperor Tian Yu, Yu Daohong, looked at you with a burning gaze and challenged you.

To this, you laughed loudly, showing no fear, and chose to accept the challenge. Although waiting to enter the Taiyi Emperor Tower to cultivate for a while and comprehend the Time Laws to over seventy percent before battling Yu Daohong would undoubtedly be the best choice, you did not fear the battle and believed that you were now capable of suppressing Yu Daohong.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, you erupted into a world-shaking battle. This battle took place in a small world created by an old monster, fighting with such intensity that the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. You forced Yu Daohong to reveal all his trump cards and full strength. In the end, you narrowly won, suppressing this formidable enemy and achieving victory.

Seeing this, everyone was astonished, amazed at how powerful the complete Spacetime Dao Body was, greatly boosting your combat prowess. This was you just having acquired the complete Spacetime Dao Body without time to comprehend the Time Laws. If you had comprehended the Time Laws, you might have suppressed Yu Daohong even more effortlessly…

Moreover, you have a high probability of defeating Shi Yuyan, who is currently ranked second on the Saint King List. It’s worth noting that Shi Yuyan also possesses a physique that far surpasses the Sacred Body. Although her physique is not as powerful as the Spacetime Dao Body, it is still mighty. Combined with her being a direct descendant of an Emperor, with the purest imperial bloodline, she is even stronger than Yu Daohong, securely holding the second position on the Saint King List.

If it weren’t for Gu Xuan from the Eternal Life Gu family holding the first place on the Saint King List, Shi Yuyan would undoubtedly be the first. In fact, even in other golden eras, she would be qualified to contend for the first position.

As for the old monster, in their hearts, you are even stronger than her, which is undoubtedly a high evaluation. However, they still believe you are not as great as Gu Xuan and that no contemporary prodigy can compare to Gu Xuan, not even those anomalies who self-sealed for many years and have reappeared in the world.

While the old monster was filled with emotion, Yu Daohong sighed, admitting defeat and acknowledging it wholeheartedly. However, he stated that he would reclaim his position in the future and then left the small world.

You, however, didn’t mind Yu Daohong’s words. Since you have already surpassed him, you believe he will never have another chance to surpass you.

Thus, the battle for the Emperor’s sons came to an end. You became the new First Disciple of the Taiyi Emperor Palace, becoming its representative. Your fame spread across the Upper Realm, becoming a target for many to pursue.

As for Ye Chen, he also benefited from your glory, becoming an object of envy within the Taiyi Emperor Palace. After all, Ye Chen is the disciple of a future Emperor like you. Now, you not only shine brightly but also have become Emperor Tianyu’s direct disciple, meaning Ye Chen is now considered Emperor Tianyu’s grand-disciple.

Such status and background are terrifying. If one could take your place, the path of cultivation would be much smoother, with far fewer worries.

You paid no heed to outsiders’ thoughts and chose to enter the Taiyi Emperor Tower to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, nearly fifty years had passed. Using the Taiyi Emperor Tower, you successfully comprehended the Time Laws to the level of Great Perfection. With this, your Spacetime Laws reached Perfection, and your strength increased significantly.

When you emerged from seclusion, you discovered that many things had happened in the outside world. However, most events were similar to what you remembered from the last simulation. The difference was that many anomalies who emerged later chose to challenge you at the Taiyi Emperor Palace.

Since you were in seclusion, these anomalies naturally couldn’t challenge you, so they settled for challenging Yu Daohong.

Perhaps due to his defeat at your hands, Yu Daohong accepted all challenges. Although he lost twice in the end, he still made a name for the Taiyi Emperor Palace.

As for Ye Chen, although he continued to cultivate over these years, his progress slowed after entering the Taiyi Emperor Palace.

You found this amusing. In your opinion, Ye Chen might be better suited as a rogue cultivator, continuing the route of a talented underdog. Coming to the comfortable environment of the Taiyi Emperor Palace made him a bit complacent, hindering his rapid growth.

So, you directly expelled Ye Chen from the Taiyi Emperor Palace, sending him out to gain experience and not allowing him to cultivate comfortably within the palace.

Ye Chen was somewhat helpless towards your actions, but he dared not disobey you as his master and reluctantly went out to gain experience.

Soon, news of your emergence spread, quickly attracting anomalies to challenge you. You accepted all challenges, suppressing them easily without any intense battles.

This made many people feel apprehensive, realizing that your strength had significantly increased once more. After witnessing your actions several times, even Yu Daohong remained silent. Then he decisively left the Taiyi Emperor Palace for life-and-death training, planning not to return until he broke through to the Great Saint level.

You, on the other hand, were also preparing to leave the Taiyi Emperor Palace to search for anomalies to take as disciples, saving time to break through the Great Saint barrier. Additionally, you were also looking for the Devour Space Emperor and the Time Scripture.

However, before you could leave the Taiyi Emperor Palace, Emperor Tian Yu summoned you.

When Emperor Tian Yu saw you, he nodded in satisfaction and then took out two items. The first was a head. It was the head of the quasi-emperor who attacked you after you passed the Heavenly Tribulation…
