Chapter 2061: Invitation from Asia Saint [6,000 words]
Following Chen Nianzhi's decree, Emperor Taicang arrived at the Immortal Courtyard soon after.
After hundreds of calamities, Chen Nianzhi met the Taicang God Emperor again in the Immortal Palace.
Compared with previous years, the identities of the two people this time are completely different.
Facing Chen Nianzhi, the sub-sage, Emperor Taicang seemed extremely cautious. He did not directly set foot in the Immortal Courtyard, but said respectfully outside the Immortal Courtyard: "Taicang asks to see the Taoist ancestor of Guixu."
"Taoist Patriarch invites me, fellow Taoist, please come with me."
Outside the main hall, a handsome man had been waiting for a long time and greeted the Taicang God Emperor with a smile.
The moment he saw this handsome man, Taicang God Emperor was shocked, and he immediately recognized this man's identity.
When Chen Nianzhi returned this time, he had more than ten powerful emperors under his command, and each one of them showed an astonishing appearance.
After hearing the information about these great emperors, Emperor Taicang understood that the person in front of him was named Emperor Jianxuan, and he was an invincible emperor with astonishing combat power.
Therefore, Taicang God Emperor did not dare to neglect, and said quickly: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Jianxuan. I didn't expect that you were greeted by your Excellency in person. I am really flattered."
Emperor Jianxuan smiled, and then said: "Your Majesty once said that Emperor Taicang is his good friend, and he must receive him seriously."
"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Fellow Taoist, please come with me."
Taicang God Emperor's heart was slightly shaken, and he felt even more fortunate.
You must know that Chen Nianzhi today is not an ordinary sub-sage. Not only does he have the combat power of a top-notch sub-sage, he also has more than ten followers of the emperor under his command.
Such astonishing means and combat power are almost equivalent to most of the demon clan's heaven. Both strength and potential are far beyond what the God Clan's Tianhuang Quasi-Emperor can match.
Being able to be so valued by Chen Nianzhi and even having a close friendship with him, even though he is one of the nine divine emperors of the God Clan, he feels very honored.
With this thought in his mind, Emperor Taicang did not dare to neglect, and quickly followed Emperor Jianxuan forward slowly.
Soon after, the two arrived at the depths of the Immortal Court, and the Emperor Taicang discovered that the place where Chen Nianzhi received him was not the majestic Immortal Court Hall, but the beautiful Peach Garden.
The Innate Peach Garden is filled with countless ancient peach trees. These ancient peach trees are at the lowest level the spiritual roots of the innate ancient trees.
At this time, the peach blossoms were blooming all over the tree. Under a vigorous old tree, there was a simple stone table. Chen Nianzhi had been waiting calmly for a long time.
"I've seen the Guixu Taoist ancestor."
The moment Emperor Taicang saw Chen Nianzhi, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Chen Nianzhi shook his head, smiled, and said calmly: "You and I have been friends for hundreds of calamities."
"Even if we haven't seen each other for many years, why are we so unfamiliar?"
Tai Cang God Emperor took a deep breath. After breaking through the sub-sage realm, Chen Nianzhi's aura became more and more unfathomable. Even just sitting there, he felt a sense of supreme majesty.
People with low cultivation levels may not be able to feel it, but beings in the realm of great emperors like them, the more they understand the terror of Chen Nianzhi.
If Chen Nianzhi had not chosen this peach forest instead of the majestic Immortal Palace, he might have been too cautious to say anything.
The power of heaven is unpredictable. After all, he has not seen him for hundreds of kalpas. He doesn't know whether Chen Nianzhi's temperament has changed as his cultivation level has improved.
Fortunately, from the current point of view, Chen Nianzhi's temperament has not changed much compared to back then.
After thinking about this, Taicang God Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Back then, when you were defeated in the Chaos Desolate Sea, I thought you had encountered something unexpected."
"I didn't expect that just a few hundred calamities passed and you came back invincible."
Chen Nianzhi smiled, motioned for him to sit down, and even made him a pot of tea himself.
While making tea, he said calmly: "If I hadn't had your help back then, I might not have been able to escape into the sea of chaos, and I might not have had the opportunities and achievements I have today."
"That's just the icing on the cake." Taicang God Emperor said, and then said: "With your methods, I don't think you can escape."
"I think it's a timely help."
Chen Nianzhi spoke calmly and handed an ancient thunder spear to the Taicang God Emperor.
Emperor Taicang's expression changed slightly, but he quickly declined: "This treasure is too precious, I'm afraid I can't afford it."
"Take it."
Chen Nianzhi spoke calmly, and then said: "Only four of the nine divine emperors of the divine race do not have innate treasures."
"As one of the Nine Emperors, but you don't have an innate treasure to accompany you, you will still suffer some losses after all."
Emperor Taicang then took the Ancient Thunder Spear, and then said with a wry smile: "It seems that my decision back then was not wrong."
Chen Nianzhi smiled and chatted with Emperor Taicang about the past years.
After waiting for a long time, Emperor Taicang said goodbye to Chen Nianzhi, and was then sent out of the Immortal Court by Emperor Jianxuan.
When the Taicang God Emperor left, he unexpectedly saw the Taixu God Emperor. After the two nodded to each other, they passed each other.
"Guixu Daozu invited him here, could it be because of the battle that year?"
Taicang God Emperor's mind wandered, and he remembered that in the battle when Chen Nianzhi was defeated in the Chaos Frontier, they were the only two of the nine God Emperors of the God Clan who participated in the battle.
Getting back to the subject, Emperor Taixu, guided by the Immortal Emperor, quickly arrived at the Immortal Court Hall.
Compared to the Taicang God Emperor, Chen Nianzhi only had a one-time relationship with the Taixu God Emperor, so he did not try to woo him too much. They just met in the Immortal Court Hall as usual.
After the Emperor Taixu stepped into the hall, he unexpectedly discovered that Emperor Taiyou was also here. He immediately bowed with great respect and said, "I, Taixu, have met the Taoist Patriarch Guixu."
"No need to be polite."
Chen Nianzhi smiled and ordered someone to give the Emperor Taixu a seat.
After God Emperor Taixu sat down, Chen Nianzhi said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that God Emperor Taixu is the head of the nine great God Emperors of the God Clan. Now it seems that what I said is true."
"If my prediction is correct, fellow Taoist is trying to attack the sub-sage realm, so there should be some hope of success."
"The Taoist ancestor was so complimentary."
Taixu God Emperor opened his mouth and said with a rather solemn expression: "The Taixu Avenue is profound and unpredictable. My Yuan Shen cultivation is insufficient, so I am not yet sure of competing for the authority of the avenue."
Chen Nianzhi nodded. The Perfect Innate Dao also has strong and weak points.
For example, the Zhutian Lihuo Avenue of the Vermilion Bird Sub-Sage has only six avenue gods, so only a few powerful men in the realm of great emperors can practice it.
However, the Taixu Avenue of the Taixu Divine Emperor belongs to a certain branch of the Space Avenue, so it has nine divine forms of the Avenue.
Once a great avenue with nine divine forms is mastered, the probability of breaking through the Chaos Emperor will not be less than 50%.
It is precisely because of this that there are many great emperors who practice Taixu Avenue, at least two dozen.
It is naturally much more difficult for the Taixu God Emperor to master Taixu Avenue.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but think about it and said: "If the God Emperor takes the Yuan Shen one step further, he may be able to gain the power of the Great Dao."
Emperor Taixu was slightly startled, and couldn't help but look at Emperor Taiyou beside him, and then asked: "Does Ancestor Dao invite me here to exchange the Two Souls of Heaven and Earth?"
"You can say that."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and then said, "I think this move will be beneficial to both of you."
Taixu God Emperor pondered slightly, and after a moment he said: "Unless we can find the legendary human soul book, it will be difficult for my soul to make a big breakthrough just by relying on the earth soul book."
"But if we make a deal and learn from each other's strengths, it will indeed be beneficial to both of us."
Chen Nianzhi did not answer immediately, but said: "Actually, I have one more important thing to do when I come to see you this time."
"oh?"
Taixu God Emperor's eyes moved slightly, with a hint of doubt.
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and then said: "I would like to exchange an innate treasure for your Heavenly Soul Book."
"this……"
Taixu God Emperor's expression changed slightly, and there was a hint of chill in his pupils.
Although the Heavenly Soul Book is only an innate treasure, it is divided into the Three Soul Books of Chaos. The value of such a treasure is naturally self-evident.
Legend has it that by collecting the Three Soul Books together, the Chaos Spiritual Treasure Chaos Three Soul Books can be restored, and when the Three Soul Books are released, a Soul Dao Heavenly Emperor will be born.
Trading this treasure for an innate treasure may not be a cost-effective deal.
With this thought in his mind, Taixu God Emperor already had some intention of evading it.
"There is no need to refuse in a hurry."
At this moment, Chen Nianzhi suddenly spoke.
But I saw him take out a Void Treasure Gourd with a flick of his sleeve, and then said: "This Void Gourd is a space spiritual treasure. I think it is more suitable for you than the Heavenly Soul Book."
Taixu God Emperor's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Treasures with spatial attributes are often much more expensive than innate treasures of the same level. The value of this item may exceed the value of the Heavenly Soul Book itself.
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi continued to speak: "The Heavenly Soul Book is indeed precious, and the Three Soul Book is the legendary Chaos Spiritual Treasure."
"But with the Hedao Supreme from the Chiyang Primitive Domain here, do you really think that you can achieve the Dao by obtaining the Three Souls Book?"
When Emperor Taixu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although he has also cultivated the True Spirit Yuanshen, his major is the Tao of the Void. If he were to master the Three Souls Book of Chaos, he might not be able to cultivate the nine True Spirit Acupoints.
The most important thing is that if the Supreme Hedao blocks the way, he may not be able to keep the Three Souls of Chaos Book.
With this thought in his mind, Emperor Taixu said: "The Heavenly Soul Book can be given to Your Majesty, but I hope that one day, if Your Majesty can obtain the Three Souls of Chaos Book, you can help me understand it."
"Can."
Chen Nianzhi opened his mouth and then said: "However, even if that day comes, I will have to wait until I set foot on the Chaos Emperor before I can fulfill this agreement."
"It's natural."
Emperor Taixu nodded. The Three Souls of Chaos Book was too precious and could not be preserved without the strength of the Emperor of Chaos. It was expected that Chen Nianzhi would be more cautious.
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi exchanged the Void Gourd for the Heavenly Soul Book.
After completing the transaction, Chen Nianzhi took out several rare treasures and handed them to the Taixu God Emperor respectively, namely the Golden Winged Heavenly Sword and said: "Fellow Taoist helped me a lot in the battle in the past."
"Now that I'm back, I won't treat you badly."
"This golden-winged heavenly sword can be regarded as a hard-earned payment for His Majesty the God Emperor."
Emperor Taixu did not refuse, and immediately accepted the Golden Winged Heavenly Sword, and then said with a smile: "It seems that I did not suffer any loss in exchange for this Heavenly Soul Book."
Chen Nianzhi smiled and said nothing more.
Next, Emperor Taixu and Emperor Taiyou exchanged the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sutra and the Ancient Earthly Soul Sutra, and then God Emperor Taixu hurriedly left the hall.
After he left, Chen Nianzhi looked at Emperor Taiyou and asked, "How do you feel?"
"With this ancient scripture, I am almost 30% certain of breaking through to the realm of the Great Emperor."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, then took out a Sacred Fruit of Enlightenment and a Sacred Earth Soul Fruit, and gave them to Emperor Taiyou: "With these two magical fruits, it will be easy for you to break through to the realm of the Great Emperor."
Emperor Taiyou was filled with joy, and took out the Earth Soul Book and gave it to Chen Nianzhi: "I will leave the Earth Soul Book to you, but you must also remember to let me understand your future Chaos Three Soul Books."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, then took out the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel, an innate treasure, and handed it to Emperor Taiyou, saying: "In addition to this item, I think it will be enough to make up for the value of the Earth Soul Book."
Emperor Taiyou did not refuse, but after a long time he couldn't help but ask: "You are collecting the Heavenly Soul Book and the Earthly Soul Book this time because you want to take the path of becoming a saint in the physical body?"
Chen Nianzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "I am a fellow practitioner of the path to sanctification of the physical body and the path to the Dao. This path to the soul is also what I seek."
"I'm afraid this is a broken road."
Emperor Taiyou shook his head, and then sighed and said: "As the saying goes, the great road is the only one, once you step into the realm of chaos with a certain path, other ways of cultivation will be suppressed."
"Even if you are extremely qualified, it may be difficult for you to take that step, and it may even lead to an unstable foundation."
"Gotta give it a try."
Chen Nianzhi sighed and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Emperor Taiyou understood that Chen Nianzhi's firm belief could not be persuaded by just one or two words, so he immediately stopped trying to persuade him.
She smiled, stood up and said, "With your help today, I am not far away from the realm of the Great Emperor. It's time to attack the realm of the Great Emperor."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and then said: "Then we will wait for the emperor's good news."
"..."
After watching Emperor Taiyou leave, Chen Nianzhi immediately put the Two Souls Book of Heaven and Earth into the nameless void where the Guixu Pearl was.
He did not immediately comprehend this ancient scripture, but instead stepped to the center of the original fairyland.
The Qilin Ancient Realm is one of the three thousand heavenly realms in the original Immortal Realm, and it is also one of the most magnificent heavenly realms.
This place is the home base of the Qilin clan, with a supreme killing formation at the half-step level of chaos, and the power of heavenly authority.
The strongest of the hundreds of fairy clans and the ancestor of the Qilin lineage has been sitting here all year round.
It is said that Taoist Taizhuo, the ancestor of Qilin, has some power over the original fairyland.
In the territory of the Qilin Ancient Territory, the Qilin Ancestor could even exert a combat power comparable to that of half a Heavenly Emperor.
At this time, Chen Nianzhi stepped forward to the Qilin Ancient Territory and was about to say something when he found two figures in a pavilion and attic who had been waiting for a long time.
He took a closer look and found that these two people were the two great sub-sages of the Hundred Clan of Immortals, the Qilin Patriarch and the Ancient Spirit Emperor.
"Come here quickly."
The Qilin ancestor smiled slightly and invited Chen Nianzhi to the pavilion.
Without waiting for Chen Nianzhi to say anything, he looked at the Ancient Spirit Emperor and said, "Old friend, I have said long ago that this Taoist Guixu will be one of my generation sooner or later."
"Look, you really can't do anything fake now, right?"
The Taikoo Linghuang was a woman of unparalleled elegance. She smiled at Chen Nianzhi, and her style was unique in all time.
Chen Nianzhi quickly handed over his hands, and then said: "I have met Senior Taizuo, and I have met Senior Linghuang."
"You don't have to be so polite." Taoist Taizhuo waved his hand quickly, and then said with a smile: "You are already the Taoist ancestor, so don't try to offend the old man."
Taikoo Linghuang also smiled, looked at Chen Nianzhi carefully, and then said: "Taizhuo's words are reasonable. From now on, you and I can be friends as equals."
When Chen Nianzhi saw this, he didn't force it. Instead, he handed over his hand and said, "Before I defeated the Chaos Desolate Sea, both of you worked hard."
"Originally, I wanted to come and say thank you, but I didn't expect that we met together today."
Taoist Tao Zhuo smiled, calmly made a pot of tea for Chen Nianzhi, and then said, "We knew you would come to visit, so we are waiting here together."
"oh?"
Chen Nianzhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look a little surprised.
When the Ancient Spiritual Emperor saw this, he said: "To be honest, when we helped you, we actually had something to ask for."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just listened quietly to the words of the Ancient Spirit Emperor.
The two sub-sages pondered slightly, and then Tai Zhuo Taoist said: "Actually, a long time ago, the two of us discovered a secret realm of chaos in the chaotic sea."
"Secret Realm of Chaos?"
When Chen Nianzhi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
The so-called secret realm of chaos is a secret realm at the level of chaos. Most of them were born when chaos first emerged. They were born from the avenue of chaos and the origin of chaos, and they often breed all kinds of rare treasures of chaos.
The most important thing is that when a secret realm of chaos is born, it is likely that it will be accompanied by the emergence of the beginning of chaos.
Therefore, in the vast sea of chaos, the birth of every chaotic secret realm will cause a bloody storm, and even attract a large number of chaos emperors and sub-sages to fight for it.
In the past, the immortal old man also broke into a secret realm of chaos, but he only found ten sources of chaos.
But even with the strength of the Immortal Old Man, he could not snatch the most precious Primordial Qi of Chaos, which shows how terrifying the powerful men would spy on the secret realm of Chaos.
The most important thing is that once the Secret Realm of Chaos is born, the waves it causes will shake the vast sea of chaos, and can be detected even from millions of desolate roads.
Therefore, every time the Secret Realm of Chaos appears, it will inevitably lead to a lot of competition for the Emperor of Chaos.
With this thought in his mind, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but feel a bit solemn.
Taoist Taizhuo noticed Chen Nianzhi's expression, smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, that Chaos Secret Realm is actually just a incomplete Chaos Secret Realm."
"The incomplete secret realm?"
Chen Nianzhi was slightly startled, with a hint of doubt.
Seeing this, the Ancient Spiritual Emperor said: "The incomplete secret realm was a secret realm of chaos that was torn apart by a certain Hedao Supreme and driven into the depths of chaos after being fought over by powerful men."
"And this incomplete part, because it is not a complete secret realm of chaos, will not be calculated by those strong people."
"I see."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and then asked: "You two are looking for me because you want to explore the secret realm of incomplete chaos with me?"
Taoist Taizhuo nodded and said solemnly: "The incomplete chaotic secret realm is quite dangerous. The two of us have explored it several times and suffered a lot of losses."
"Your strength is not weak. If you join us, we will be more confident in exploring the secret realm."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and then asked: "How will the treasures be distributed after the matter is completed?"
Taoist Tai Zhuo smiled slightly, and then said bluntly: "As the ones who discovered the secret realm of incomplete chaos, once we find treasures inside, we need to give priority to selection."
"If chaos begins to emerge, it should be the two of us who choose first."
Chen Nianzhi nodded and said, "That's how it should be. How about dividing the other treasures based on military merit?"
"Then it's settled."
When Taikoo Linghuang and Taoist Taizuo opened their mouths, they both showed a little smile.
For them, no treasure is as important as Chaos Beginning Qi, as long as they have priority, it is enough.
Seeing this, Chen Nianzhi quickly made an agreement with the three of them. For him at present, the most important thing is the training resources to break through to the realm of the Great Emperor.
On the contrary, he has no shortage of Chaos Shiqi. After all, he has a better Hongmeng Shiqi to replace him.
So, he made a Dao contract with the two of them, and then Chen Nianzhi said: "But I just came back, and there are still many things that have not been dealt with."
"This exploration of the secret realm must be postponed to a later date."
Taoist Tai Zhuo nodded, and then said: "Otherwise, if we push it back a hundred calamities, what do you think?"
"enough."
Chen Nianzhi nodded and immediately reached an agreement with the two of them.
After reaching the agreement, the three of them were satisfied.
So Chen Nianzhi looked at Taoist Taizhuo again, and he couldn't help but say after careful consideration: "Coming here today, I actually have one more request."
"But it doesn't matter."
Taoist Tao Zhuo was in a good mood and immediately said with a smile.
Chen Nianzhi thought for a while and then said bluntly: "I want to ask fellow Taoist to give me an innate treasure to use in cultivating the true spiritual form."
"Cultivation of true spiritual form?"
Taoist Tao Zhuo's eyes moved slightly, and he guessed what it was in an instant, and immediately asked: "I am specifically looking for you. It seems that what you need is an innate treasure with the attributes of Qilin."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, feeling a bit expectant.
Seeing this, Taoist Tao Zhuo took out a piece of armor with a flick of his sleeve and said, "This Qilin armor was made by the old man when his scales fell off when he was promoted to sub-sage."
"But this thing is no longer of much use to me. It may not be a bad thing if it allows you to cultivate into a true spiritual god."
Saying this, Master Taizhuo handed it to Chen Nianzhi.
Chen Nianzhi put it away solemnly, and then said: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, if you use this treasure to cultivate into the true spiritual form, you will not be disappointed."
"Um."
Ancestor Qilin said no more and just patted Chen Nianzhi on the shoulder.
At this point, Chen Nianzhi spent a long time chatting with the two sub-sages before leaving the Qilin Ancient Territory.
After that, he took the time to pay a visit to the Quasi-Emperor of Heaven and Earth, and finally settled the matter of returning to the Seven Domains of South Abyss.
After doing all this, Chen Nianzhi still did not retreat to practice, but came to the Guixu Dao Domain.
