I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 471 Ye Tao's Transformation! The Origin of Fengdu! Corpse Fragrance and...

Seeing Chu Yang looking over, Ye Tao panicked and hid behind Fan Wuye, weakly saying:

"I...I didn't see it..."

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "This little girl can lie now?"

Not only him, but the Undying Lord was also somewhat bewildered, not understanding why Ye Tao, who had always been extremely simple-minded, had suddenly become... much more lively?

This description may be somewhat inappropriate, but it is the most direct feeling of the place where one cannot die.

Although Ye Tao was lively and carefree in the past, she was just a child at heart. Moreover, because she was forcibly suppressed by the will of the world, she was different from ordinary children.

To put it bluntly, he's just mentally challenged...

But now Ye Tao's eyes have become more lively, and her behavior is more natural, as if she is no longer being forcibly suppressed, but rather that she is just a child at heart.

If I had to pinpoint the most obvious difference from before, it would be something like...

The force that had been suppressing Ye Tao had disappeared. Although she still retained a childlike nature, given time, she might mature...

To put it simply, Ye Tao's mind will no longer be confined to the stage of childhood, but will gradually grow from that stage and develop in a direction of mental well-being.

"King Chu...she..." The Undying Lord grew more and more excited as he thought about it.

Chu Yang seemed to be deep in thought, then nodded and said, "The problem should be solved, but I'm still not sure whether it's because the power of the world's will has weakened, or..."

"Because of the bloodline within me, I awakened a deeper power within her bloodline..."

Fan Wuye tentatively said, "King Chu, Master, Junior Sister's transformation only occurred just before the Heavenly Jealousy Tribulation!"

Has the Calamity of Heaven's Jealousy undergone a change?

Suddenly, everyone remembered that when the Heavenly Evil God provoked the Heavenly Jealousy Tribulation, the thunderclouds suddenly changed from azure blue to blood red.

At the time, many uninformed people mistakenly believed that the world's will was angered by the provocation of the Amajigami.

Now it seems that it was most likely Chu Yang's doing!

The King of Chu narrowed his eyes slightly, because at that moment, it was exactly when his bloodline had completely merged with Ye Tao's.

Moreover, the world's will had not yet been struck at that time, and its power had not been diminished.

In other words, the changes in Ye Tao's body were due to her sensing her bloodline within him?

Bloodline resonance?

This is indeed a topic worth studying!

"No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing..."

Apart from the Undying Lord, no one else knew about Ye Tao's special abilities, so Chu Yang casually brushed off the topic.

"From now on, Little Peach will stay by my side!"

Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, the Undying Lord was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Fan Wuye's eyes widened, and his expression became much more wary.

This sister-obsessed man couldn't help but recall the time when his teacher wanted to entrust his junior sister to Chu Yang, and his mind was filled with mixed emotions.

After briefly explaining a few things, Chu Yang dismissed most of the people.

He looked at the remaining people and pondered, then said, "Next, let's talk about transcending the Saintly Rank..."

"Now that I have completely broken ties with the will of the world, and all living beings are on my side, it is no longer possible for me to inscribe my name on the Heavenly Ranking."

"Before I reforged the Heavenly Dao, the only conventional way to surpass the Saintly Rank was to leave a name on the Heavenly Ranking."

"Therefore, if you all wish to advance further, you must find another way!"

"But as long as you can take that step, your future achievements will not stop at becoming a ruler. Even after reshaping the Heavenly Dao, you will go much further..."

Upon hearing his words, everyone's expressions immediately became excited, especially the Undying Lord and the Green-Robed Sword Saint.

They had been stuck at the pinnacle of the Saintly Rank for many years, and now that they had finally taken that step, they had ruined their own future. It would be a lie to say they weren't regretful.

Chu Yang glanced at Sun Wukong first, then smiled and said, "Brother Monkey, I don't need to say more about your situation. Just keep going on this path."

Sun Wukong chuckled, a smug look on his face.

He forged his own path by trial and error, and Chu Yang merely provided him with a starting point, so he has every reason to be proud.

Chu Yang then looked at Tang Huo'er and said, "Even if you integrate the Dragon and Phoenix Origin into the Taiji True Meaning, the ultimate limit can only be to reach the half-step Dominator level."

"If you want to go further, you need to understand 'Yin and Yang.' Everyone's understanding of this is different. Go back and think about it carefully."

"With your talent, this shouldn't be a difficult task."

Tang Huo'er's pure heart makes her the best candidate to cultivate the true meaning of Tai Chi. Chu Yang also wants to see what it would be like if she could comprehend the Great Dao on the path of Tai Chi.

Next, Chu Yang gave guidance to many powerful figures from the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect, providing them with different paths based on their individual characteristics.

Of course, not everyone is suited to "going against the grain," and for those who are not, Chu Yang simply provides external assistance.

It could be a limiting substance or a gene reagent.

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong weren't in a hurry. In five years, they might be able to reach the level of giants, but it would be difficult for them to reach the level of half-step rulers.

By the time they began their attempt to reach the level of a half-step ruler, Chu Yang had already rebuilt the Heavenly Dao, so there was no need for him to explore new paths.

His gaze finally settled on the Green-Robed Sword Saint and the Undying Lord. After pondering for a moment, he reached out and carved four characters on the stone table.

The two words before the Green-Robed Sword Saint were “Slaying the Heavens”, written in a vigorous and powerful style, containing a sharp sword intent.

The two words before the Lord of Immortality were "Reincarnation," which seemed to lead directly to the netherworld and also seemed to control life and death.

Both of them were greatly shocked, and then they were both stunned on the spot, staring at the words in front of them, as if they had entered a state of enlightenment.

"let's go!"

Chu Yang smiled and waved to the crowd, who all looked on in admiration and dispersed.

Chu Yang did not rush to leave, but wandered around the Northern Wilderness Hills and eventually came to a mountain hollow.

This mountain valley is filled with graves, most of them nameless, but some tombstones bear names, and those names are all famous figures from ancient times.

After pausing briefly, Chu Yang left the mountain valley and arrived at a "deep pit".

It's called a pit, but it's bottomless and covers an extremely vast area. It's as if a god punched down from the sky, smashing a hole in the ground.

This is the very place where the Immortal Emperor fell!

Chu Yang had just arrived when a purple-gold figure flashed into view, startling Ye Tao who was standing next to him.

Ye Tao hid behind Chu Yang, glaring at him like an angry little kitten, both fierce and adorable.

Wuming chuckled dryly, then scratched his head and said, "Uh...sorry, sorry..."

Chu Yang was slightly surprised. This guy was always arrogant and didn't care about anyone except himself, Luo Shen and the Heavenly Emperor. Why was he suddenly so polite to Ye Tao?

Seemingly sensing his confusion, Wuming said awkwardly, "This little girl's bloodline is too terrifying!"

"Before, there was the will of the world to restrain us, but now that there are no more constraints, I can't afford to offend them..."

Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled. Wu Ming's true form was a branch of the Immortal Divine Tree, which was extraordinary in itself, so he could naturally discover some special features about Ye Tao.

He waved his hand and asked, "Where is the remaining bloodline of the Immortal Emperor?"

Wuming's expression turned solemn, and then he quickly formed hand seals, causing the deep pit below to tremble.

A moment later, a wisp of purplish-gold blood rose slowly from the deep pit and hovered in front of the three people.

Wuming's expression was extremely complicated. He sighed and said, "This is the last trace left by my master. If the resurrection fails, I hope that King Chu can preserve a trace of his essence blood, so that I will have something to look forward to..."

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "The Immortal Emperor died protecting the Great Thousand World; his traces are everywhere in this entire Great Thousand World!"

Wuming smiled, then said nothing more and stepped aside.

"Go wait over there..." Chu Yang patted Ye Tao's head and then handed her a pill.

Ye Tao took the pill and ran off happily to the side.

Chu Yang watched Ye Tao's retreating figure, lost in thought.

He could feel that as he came into contact with Ye Tao, the bloodline power from Ye Tao within his body was constantly resonating.

During this resonance, the power of that bloodline was actually growing stronger!

Gathering his thoughts, Chu Yang's gaze fell upon the purplish-gold blood, and a wisp of black light transformed into [Fengdu], which appeared in his hand.

His eyes suddenly narrowed, and then he raised his sword and landed on his right leg without hesitation.

This scene made Wuming's eyelids twitch. He watched as blood flowed from Chu Yang's right leg, but it congealed and did not disperse, gathering into a pool of blood. His eyes became increasingly solemn and respectful.

He could naturally tell that Chu Yang's blood was genuine essence blood!

Even an immortal emperor at his peak would be severely injured if he could gather so much essence and blood in one breath.

For this reason alone, regardless of whether Chu Yang ultimately succeeds in resurrecting the Immortal Emperor, Wu Ming deserves his gratitude and respect.

In reality, although there was a lot of essence and blood, it was nothing to Chu Yang.

Because his physical body was too powerful, especially since the Refining Treasure Technique had fused with many supreme treasures, his blood-generating ability was simply heaven-defying.

This essence and blood will be the key to his resurrection of the Immortal Emperor!

Because the essence blood contains the power of the earth's original crystallization, although it has been refined by the Treasure Refining Technique, it still retains some of its original characteristics.

Unlike the resurrected Heavenly Emperor and the ancestors of the four ancient races, Chu Yang did not rely on the physical bodies of powerful beings, nor did he rely on the spirits of planes.

His greatest reliance is the essence of the earth's origin and the [Fengdu]!

His white robes transformed into a black robe, and the name "Fengdu" became an ancient seal, with the ancient city of Fengdu hanging behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the Gate of Hell opened, and the Bridge of Helplessness connected Chu Yang with the remaining bloodline of the Immortal Emperor.

Chu Yang closed his eyes slightly, the ancient seal in his hand trembled continuously, and finally turned into a stream of light, merging into the ancient city of Fengdu.

In an instant, the world changed color, and the entire Northern Wilderness Hills became dark, as a black curtain slowly enveloped the sky.

Wuming was utterly shocked by the scene before him. Ye Tao stared blankly at Chu Yang, the pill still in her mouth, forgetting to chew and swallow.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.

The Undying Lord, who had been frozen in place in a state of enlightenment, suddenly trembled violently, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He then slowly regained his composure and looked toward the direction of the deep pit.

"Reincarnation...reincarnation..." The Undying Lord kept muttering to himself, feeling as if he had grasped something, but it had slipped through his fingers.

Above the deep pit, the ancient city of Fengdu behind Chu Yang kept changing, eventually shrinking rapidly until it became the size of a palm.

Then the ancient city of Fengdu evolved into a bronze oil lamp. The bronze oil lamp is extremely simple and rustic, covered with rust, as if it has been eroded by countless years.

The oil lamp burned with a bright green flame and emitted a strange fragrance that made one's mouth water and one's mouth water.

But Wuming naturally had no sense of smell at this moment, while Ye Tao wrinkled her delicate nose and stepped back with a look of disgust.

That extremely tempting fragrance was like a nauseating stench to her.

The scent of corpses! The soul lamp!

Chu Yang held the soul lamp in his hand, took a deep breath, and gently blew on the soul lamp.

In an instant, eerie green flames swept across the sky, utterly devoid of any heat, instead exuding extreme cold.

Wuming's expression changed drastically at this moment. His figure quickly became illusory, and he hurriedly retreated tens of thousands of feet before finally stopping, looking as if he had lingering fear.

You must know that he was a near-immortal being, but just now, merely being affected by the aura of that green flame, his remnant soul was almost completely obliterated!

The green flames enveloped the purple-gold blood and the essence of the earth, causing the two to slowly merge.

Wisps of black smoke rose, not just impurities in the blood, but also some indescribable substance.

After a long while, a series of painful groans suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing that sound, Wuming, who was far away, was struck dumb as if by lightning, and his soul began to tremble violently.

"Master... Master..." Wuming seemed to have lost his mind, muttering to himself as he uncontrollably took steps forward.

"Stop!" Chu Yang's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Wuming suddenly came to his senses and then retreated repeatedly.

That was clearly the master's voice, so why was it so seductive?

"I am currently refining the remaining will of the Immortal Emperor, wishing him recovery of his remnant soul, until he can solidify into a true soul body!"

Chu Yang spoke again: "But the remnant will of the Immortal Emperor has been corrupted by the Heavenly Evil God, and is currently in a state of chaos. Once you are bewitched by him, you will be doomed!"

Wu Ming suddenly realized what was happening, and then felt a wave of fear.

If Chu Yang successfully resurrects the Immortal Emperor, only to vanish before he can even meet his master, he would be devastated.

While manipulating the green flames and refining the remnant soul of the Immortal Emperor, Chu Yang looked thoughtfully at the soul lamp in his hand.

This soul lamp, like the Divine Thunder Jade Palace, is a manifestation of the origin of [Fengdu], yet it is also somewhat strange.

He always felt that there was a thin veil between himself and the true origin of Fengdu, so his understanding of the power of origin was extremely shallow, which is why he turned into a soul lamp.

Otherwise, he would definitely have been able to master the power of reincarnation through the evolution of Fengdu, and it would have been much easier for him to resurrect the Immortal Emperor.

To be more specific...

That means this soul lamp doesn't possess the power of reincarnation, but rather purely controls the soul!

Attack the soul! Annihilate the soul! Condense the soul! Refine the soul!

Even… the creation of souls! (End of Chapter)
