Silken strands of sword Qi were branded into the myriad rules of the void, causing faint ripples to spread across the heavens and earth, re-enacting the aura of the time of primordial chaos, and then wrapping the green bamboo cane gifted by Huntian within them. Using the constellations and myriad phenomena as its core, it continuously struck and tempered this object, ultimately shaping the entire green bamboo, imbued with the power of chaos.

It transformed into a long sword, entirely verdant, resembling a long bamboo.

The sword's body was narrower and longer than ordinary swords.

It seemed as if lightning, transformed from stars, was running and changing on its surface, giving one the feeling of, "The Way of Heaven is vast, and chaos is all-encompassing."

The Heavenly Emperor grasped the sword hilt with his right hand, and his left hand calmly swept across the sword's spine.

Countless tiny starlight fragments intertwined and converged, transforming into a scabbard, Taiyi Shengshui (Primordial Oneness Creates Water).

Then, with a calm sweep, the long sword, still sheathed, flew towards the Daoist, halting steadily before him. One could still see the intersecting energies and starlight sword Qi upon it. Wei Yuan reached out, grasped the sword, and sensed the extremely majestic aura within it. He immediately realized that this sword, although only equivalent to wrapping and tempering the green bamboo left by Huntian with starlight to make a sword,

was extremely compatible with the four Daos within Wei Yuan's own domain.

Thinking about it, it was understandable. One was Huntian, and the other was the constellations. In a way, the two Heavenly Emperors before and after the Era of Clear Qi had joined forces across time to complete this long sword. When the sword was drawn from its sheath, the sword Qi flowed and changed, vaguely harmonizing with the heavens and earth. Returning the sword to its sheath felt exceedingly smooth.

The Heavenly Emperor said calmly, "How is it?"

The Daoist tapped the sword's body with his finger, causing this divine weapon to emit a ripple. The sound of the sword's chime was clear and melodious. He said, "Extremely good."

"It's just the name..."

Wei Yuan's expression was strange. He said, "Could it be changed?"

Qingping Sword, Qingping, poverty.

When fighting someone, first saying, "This poor Daoist's sword is named Qingping..."

The buff stacked was too full.

The Heavenly Emperor said indifferently, "This Emperor finds it perfectly fitting."

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

Could the Heavenly Emperor be a poker-faced, scheming battle maniac?

Di Jun looked at the distant constellations and myriad phenomena. To temper this Qingping Sword, he had spent a massive amount of treasures from his inventory. If he were to say it, it would probably make this Daoist work from the Era of King Yu until the end of time and still not be able to repay it. However, He did not say these things, but simply said indifferently, "No need to thank me."

"You brought Huntian's object to me; I owe you a favor."

"Just fight me with all your strength afterward."

Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He blurted out subconsciously, "Finally not calling yourself 'This Emperor'?"

The Heavenly Emperor lowered his eyes.

The constellations and myriad phenomena all lit up.

Thousands of great suns illuminated the void, scorching, overbearing, terrifyingly noisy. The terrifying oppressive force that had directly crushed and scattered the Turbid World Heavenly Emperor back then was once again frantically suppressed.

The white-haired Daoist turned around.

His eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, his face full of simplicity and harmlessness.

When the constellations and myriad phenomena had once again faded away, Wei Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, pretending that nothing had happened. He said, "Then, wait until I have re-deduced and completed my sword array, and you have also taken a further step on the Great Dao. Then, we will spar again."

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, his tone cold and indifferent:

"This Emperor will naturally not stand still."

Wei Yuan nodded, and then saw the rise and fall of the constellations and the vastness of all things. After a long time, his state of mind became more and more peaceful, and he gradually suppressed the anxiety he had after learning about Houtu's situation. He needed to make sufficient preparations, and then rescue Houtu in one go. After watching the constellations and myriad phenomena for a while, Wei Yuan bid farewell to the Heavenly Emperor, intending to return to Heavenly Emperor Mountain first.

He also needed to leave enough quiet time for the Heavenly Emperor to comprehend the gifts left by Huntian.

He had to take that guy Yu the Great back to Tushan...

That guy, he had passed his own door three times without entering.

Now, well, it had already been five thousand years.

Wei Yuan suddenly felt a little melancholy.

Had things really passed for five thousand years?

Having already walked down this so-called Observatory, Wei Yuan suddenly paused slightly, noticing a strange aura. Then, a slight cracking sound came from his ear. The Daoist's movements completely froze, and the pupils in his eyes constricted—

This, this sound was.

No, couldn't be?

Hey, hey, hey... You...

Wei Yuan turned around abruptly, taking a step out. Amidst the astonished and surprised gazes of several divine generals below the Observatory, he directly transformed into an aura like a starlight storm, instantly sweeping past the layers of restrictions of the Observatory, and arriving at the previous place. He saw the Heavenly Emperor standing there calmly amidst the constellations and myriad phenomena.

His right hand was holding the pearl that Huntian had entrusted Wei Yuan to give to Di Jun.

And at this moment, cracks had already appeared on the pearl. The originally perfect and flawless Great Dao within had, in just an instant, lost its original state of Great Perfection. Numerous loopholes had appeared, all sorts of flaws had emerged, and then it transformed into Yuan Qi that poured out.

Wei Yuan paused.

"You..."

The Heavenly Emperor said indifferently, "Why has the Celestial honored one returned?"

Wei Yuan looked at the pearl in the Heavenly Emperor's hand, which was almost about to shatter immediately, and said in disbelief, "You, you shattered it?"

The gift from the only transcendent being!

The Dao rhythm painstakingly left behind by Huntian in the end.

It was slowly shattered in the Heavenly Emperor's hand. The Heavenly Emperor's voice was indifferent, "You have already delivered the things he entrusted. How I use them is my business..."

Strands of white hair fell beside the white-haired Daoist's temples. He said, "This may be an opportunity to take a further step towards transcendence."

"Wrong."

The Heavenly Emperor said, "This is a mirage that will lead me down a wicked path."

His tone was calm and unwavering, "Perhaps the so-called enlightenment and opportunities can indeed allow me to take a further step, but so what? This is Huntian's understanding, Huntian's path. If I go to comprehend this so-called opportunity, then his limit will be my limit."

The Heavenly Emperor, dressed in ink-colored robes, his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, his expression cold and indifferent, said to himself:

"I will never walk someone else's path in my life."

"This gift is like floating clouds to me."

Wei Yuan said, "Even if it is the path to transcendence?"

The Heavenly Emperor did not answer.

In his hand, the pearl, which was no different from the strongest treasure for experts at the Dao Fruit level, was finally covered with dense cracks. In the end, it transformed into a grand and vast stream of light. The Heavenly Emperor calmly sent it out, saying, "This was given to me by Huntian, so I will borrow his name again and give this creation to all living beings in this world."

Stars shattered, and the Way of the vast universe evolved within the heavens and earth.

It transformed into an unprecedented meteor shower.

It was brilliant and bright, almost covering the entire world.

What was strange was that when the meteor shower fell, it did not leave any traces of meteorites, which made the scientists of the human world, as well as the practitioners and artisans of other worlds, quite regretful. What was only strange was that among the descendants of all races born in the hundred years after this, almost all of them possessed good cultivation talents. There were even many who had excellent talent for the most profound and mysterious Way of the Stars.

And this influence continued to spread until a thousand years later, when it gradually dissipated.

In the history of cultivation, it was recorded as the Millennium of Stars.

Heroes of all races rose together, and heroes competed for supremacy. It was a prosperous age of cultivation.

And before this millennium, this was still just a seemingly ordinary huge meteor shower. It only made countless people unable to resist looking up at the stars in a daze. There were also many couples and children who silently made their respective wishes and vows to this brilliant celestial phenomenon. The human world was prosperous, and with his back to the magnificent scene that made countless living beings lose their minds, the Heavenly Emperor turned and left.

Black sleeves walked from the brilliance of starlight to silence.

The Heavenly Emperor said to himself calmly, "In this way, it can be considered that I have not failed your gift."

"Whether it is life or death."

"I must walk on my own path."

……………………

When Wei Yuan left the Observatory, his whole person was immersed in a kind of silence.

He even did not mention to Yu the Great for a time that they would return together later, go down the mountain together, return to the human world, and go to the Tushan Clan. He just reunited with Uncle Niu, and the two of them sat quietly together for a long, long time.

He also successfully accepted Jingwei as a disciple. He calculated the real meaning of time.

During the period when Jingwei was accepted as a disciple by Houtu on behalf of him, Ji Xuanyuan was still young.

And A Xuan was the agreement when Ji Xuanyuan abdicated.

As for Yeming, it was the last one.

So, calculating it this way, Jingwei was actually the eldest senior sister, and the dignified deputy of the Heavenly Emperor, the Great Wilderness age deity Yeming, once again rightfully slid down a level, becoming the third junior brother.

After these things were over, when Wei Yuan was meditating and breathing at night, his consciousness was muddled, and he stepped into a seemingly non-existent sleep.

Ripples rippled around him, layer upon layer, silver light soft as sword Qi, without heaven or earth, without sect or supreme, it was the void realm where Huntian and Wei Yuan had last met. Wei Yuan would come here to comprehend the Way of Emptiness, and the Qingping Sword in his hand was still stretched out like a fishing rod, with the drooping sword Qi as the fishing line.

It was because of the enlightenment and comprehension here.

Wei Yuan had just reconstructed the final link of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, which was to reproduce the concept of, "Primordial Chaos, Yin and Yang Undifferentiated."

This was currently the strongest killing move.

Reproducing Huntian's power.

But at this moment, Wei Yuan's heart was faintly surging, and there was a faint sense of complexity. He could not be as calm and quiet as he had been when comprehending the sword array before. At this moment, he was clearly standing in the void realm, but what he recalled in his mind was actually the Heavenly Emperor's departing figure under the brilliant and magnificent starry sky.

'Following his gift, in the end, his limit will be my limit.'

'Whether it is life or death, I must walk on my own path.'

Wei Yuan exhaled a breath and opened his eyes.

He laughed mockingly:

"I can't calm down..."

In this void realm of Huntian, countless sword Qi outlined laws, transforming into circles of ripples. The ripples overlapped with each other, becoming more and more turbulent, just like the state of mind at this moment. The surrounding sword Qi outlined changes, reenacting earth, water, wind, and fire, the four elements within the domain, severing the connection between heaven and earth, reversing the innate formations, and finally converging into emptiness.

"Suppress, trap, kill..."

The Daoist looked at the changes in the formation before him.

Suppress the soul, trap the flesh, kill the soul and destroy the spirit, eliminate cause and effect!

Whether it was the soul traveling thousands of miles while the body remained, or the body becoming a saint and indestructible, or the innate deities of other paths who swallowed a world.

Once trapped in this formation.

All would have their souls and spirits destroyed, cause and effect would not exist, heavenly secrets would not enter, and they would die without a burial place.

But the final form of this formation was still, "Primordial Chaos, Yin and Yang Undifferentiated."

Wei Yuan was originally of a leisurely nature, but at this moment, he did not know why, but the Heavenly Emperor's figure always appeared before his eyes. A trace of ripples rose in his heart, and the sword arrays and sword techniques intertwined and changed, giving birth to countless subtle and mysterious changes. Within his chest, there seemed to be a surge of sharp and fierce energy that caused his original cultivation method to deviate from "Cause and Effect."

Wei Yuan sensed that he needed to unleash a sword at this moment—

Unleash a sword, and cut out all the emotions, the feelings, and the state of mind at this moment!

Then he could take an extremely crucial step.

If he missed the opportunity, there would never be another chance for his state of mind to boil like this.

But where was there any opponent at this moment?

The Qingping Sword in his hand drooped with sword threads. The Daoist suddenly said to himself, "An opponent worthy of testing the sword..."

The drooping sword threads fell on the vastness of the heavens and earth. Ripples suddenly rippled in the void, and then countless silver law threads collided fiercely, transforming into a picture like the Kunlun Mirror. Wei Yuan raised his eyes and saw a huge staff smashing down, and then a figure quickly moved away. However, at this moment, the Qingping Sword drooped with cause and effect, rippling. There was actually a feeling that this person was being fished up—

An opponent worthy of testing the sword—

Turbid World · Water God.

Cause and Effect · [Words Become Law]!
