Chapter 招安

The Scarlet and Azure Emperors exchanged a glance, both remaining silent.

The idea of assimilation had a long history for the Imperial Court, dating back to its very founding. At that time, the Divine Court and the Demonic Realm had been at war for many years, and many gods had fallen.

Di Yan, who was not yet a God Emperor, proposed this method to gather the many gods who did not submit to the Divine Court.

Of course, they didn't care about the White Emperor's life or death, nor would they feel any sadness or anger because of his death, but to assimilate that one…

"How is that possible?"

The Xuan Emperor shook his head, scoffing, "Not to mention that Bodhi and I are mortal enemies, even if we weren't, how many gods did he bury when he stirred up that turmoil? Assimilation is utterly impossible!"

Tens of thousands of years ago, a group of strong individuals, led by the Phoenix, the Peacock, the Seven Great Demon Gods, and Da Yu, unleashed an earth-shattering rebellion.

The ferocity of the rebellion almost shook the foundations of the Imperial Court. Mount Sumeru was even toppled once. Its tragedy was enough for the world to remember.

And the core of that rebellion was very likely 'Bodhi'.

"The Xuan Emperor is right. Assimilating this person is absolutely impossible. If it were possible, there wouldn't have been such a rebellion back then."

The Scarlet Emperor also nodded.

He knew very little about Bodhi, but he knew that he had personally cultivated Da Yu, the Peacock, the Seven Great Demon Gods, and even the Confucianists.

He was definitely not one to submit to others.

"Times have changed. What was impossible in the past may not be so today."

The Gold Emperor smiled faintly, saying, "Don't forget, the Taoist's real enemy is not you or me, nor the White Emperor, but that Buddha…"

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet Emperor and the others' hearts stirred.

The Gold Emperor pointed to the Western Pole of the void, "Back then, we were trapped in the Divine Court, fighting against the Phoenix's divine fire. That Bodhi Taoist, and even many of his disciples, were all buried at the hands of that Buddha!"

"You mean…"

The Scarlet Emperor's gaze flickered, as if recalling the past.

The Phoenix's campaign against the heavens had affected a vast area. The Imperial Court, the Taoist sect, Sumeru, the Demonic Realm, and the Myriad Dragon Nest had all participated in the war.

The Imperial Court was certainly the first to be drawn into the war, but because the Phoenix was too ferocious, the five of them had never fought against that Bodhi Taoist.

But they also clearly remembered the Seven Treasures Mystical Tree that spanned the heavens.

That Seven Treasures Mystical Tree shattered the Nine Cauldrons, brushed down the Peacock, and also brushed away the Seven Great Demon Gods.

That old Buddha was the first person to truly quell the rebellion. If the Phoenix hadn't opened its mouth and used its source to completely seal Mount Sumeru with Nirvana Holy Fire,

Da Xia would have been completely destroyed at that time.

"If he is truly Bodhi Taoist's incarnation, then what he fears and hates is definitely not you or me, nor the Imperial Court…"

At this point, the Gold Emperor smiled again, "Moreover, the Demon Lord's descent means that the Sages will surely return in the near future.

What kind of person is the Bodhi Taoist? He would know the timing of the heavens and would never have any rebellious thoughts again! Perhaps, he is in a dilemma right now."

The Gold Emperor spoke eloquently, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

Not only him, but the other Emperors also knew very well that there was only one chance to rebel against the heavens throughout the ages.

More than seventy thousand years ago, the Sages suddenly left, and the laws and order within the Imperial Heaven reached the lowest point in history.

And that Bodhi, Peacock, Da Yu, the Seven Great Demon Gods, and the Confucian Sage were already the most outstanding group of people in the various epochs.

But even with the sudden resurrection of the Phoenix, whose combat power was close to that of a Sage, that battle was not successful.

The opportunity only existed once.

There would be no more.

They understood this principle. Wouldn't that Bodhi Taoist, who possessed the highest talent, understand it?

Not to mention that he was not a Sage, even if he became a Sage, how could he contend against the six Sages who had always been high above since ancient times?

"What Taoist brother said is not without reason."

The other Emperors exchanged glances, and seemed to be somewhat persuaded.

"Regardless of whether we can assimilate him, if assimilation is successful, how can we four suppress him when our cultivation has not recovered?"

The Scarlet Emperor slowly spoke, expressing his concerns, "Moreover, this Taoist's talent is unmatched. Many of the great divine powers of the past seem to have originated from his hands. The White Emperor's ship capsized. We may not be immune to…"

This epoch was extremely special from ancient times to the present, and some even called it the First Epoch of all time.

The fundamental reason was that there were too many incredible powerhouses emerging in this epoch.

And among these countless powerhouses, the most powerful was none other than the Extinction Old Buddha, while the one recognized as having the highest talent was the Bodhi Taoist.

This was not only because of the disciples he had trained, but also because this person had created too many unimaginable and powerful divine powers.

The Five Colors Divine Light, the Universe in the Sleeve, the Grand River of Righteousness, the Ding Yi Dragon Transformation Three-Three Style... Apart from the Seven Treasures Mystical Tree, most of the divine powers that bloomed with shocking light in that battle were related to him.

In the past, some people may have dared to underestimate him, but now, even existences like them had to be wary.

"The divine way has never only looked at killing methods, or the level of cultivation…"

The Gold Emperor chuckled, "If we only looked at the level of cultivation, the ones who have held the power of the Divine Court throughout the epochs would not be the four of us, but the White Emperor.

If we are talking about killing methods, it should be Qingtian!"

The source of the divine way was Di Yan.

It was fine if one was inferior, but once one stepped into the divine way, unless the source was changed, even if one was as strong as Qingtian or the White Emperor, they could only listen to orders and not make announcements!

"We are like this, the White Emperor is like this, Qingtian is like this. Why would he be an exception?"

…

Hu!

A gentle breeze blew through the branches, making a 'rustling' sound.

Under the old tree, An Qisheng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and internally inspected his body, nodding slightly in his heart.

With the Qi Seeds returning to unity, the Divine Court restored, and the Gods resurrected, his cultivation had improved rapidly. However, suppressing and killing the White Emperor was not as easy as it seemed.

In fact, his plan against the White Emperor had already begun with a fleeting glance eighteen years ago.

The Starry Sky Array, various divine powers, and even the 'Qi Seed Divine Court' hidden within the True Spirit Throne Chart were all prepared for this old antique.

Even so, in one exchange, he had faint hidden injuries. Within his body, centered on the Five Viscera Temples, all the myriad gods in his body had varying degrees of damage.

However, the Qi Seeds had already spread throughout Da Zhou, and after a little breathing, the injuries had no impact.

"Dao, Daoist, where, where is that guest?"

Cai Xiaobai, with a dazed expression, poked her little head out of the lush foliage, looking at An Qisheng somewhat blankly.

"The guest has left."

With a wave of his hand, An Qisheng brought the little fellow to the ground.

Decades had passed, but this little white vegetable demon hadn't changed much. She was still two feet tall and dull-witted.

And by his side, only the little white vegetable was still following him.

Gongyang Yan, Tu Ba, the big flower donkey, and even the 'little tiger' had all been sent out by him.

"Oh."

Cai Xiaobai nodded as if she understood, and then said with some worry, "Daoist, Brother Ba has been gone for many years, why hasn't he come back yet? Xiaobai misses him…"

An Qisheng naturally knew what this little thing was thinking. With a flick of his finger, a ray of spiritual light entered her body:

"When you unify and transform your divine powers into the Immortal Transformation Technique, you can go find him."

Cai Xiaobai's body trembled, feeling a warm sensation within her body, which was very comfortable, "This, what is this?"

"Some good things left by that guest. I can't use them, so I'll give them to you. They'll be of some use."

An Qisheng waved his hand casually.

The little fellow swayed and tottered, as if drunk, and fell asleep under the tree.

"Grow up faster."

An Qisheng glanced at the little fellow, sighing inwardly.

If possible, he also wanted to let these little fellows cultivate and grow naturally, but unfortunately…

With a slight sigh, he once again sank into his heart sea.

In the dark and secluded sea of his heart, torrents of information roared back and forth from the void.

"This old fellow knows so much. With his memories, the progress of the new cultivation method can be accelerated a lot."

Blue Spirit Child soared among the vast amount of information, almost cheering.

The little fellow couldn't help but be excited. The White Emperor was one of the oldest existences in this world, and he knew too much. Pulling out a strand of hair was more than Da Zhou had collected in tens of thousands of years.

"This matter cannot be rushed."

An Qisheng was very calm, even though this new cultivation method was very important to him.

"The cultivation methods in this world, from the short-lived species to the immortal species, are extremely complete. It is too difficult to accommodate all methods…"

Seeing An Qisheng, Blue Spirit Child habitually complained, "I remember that Mr. Monster once had a divine power called 'Great Evolution Heavenly Insight'. Why don't you use that to deduce it?"

Blue Spirit Child clamored.

For it, which was familiar with the divine powers of various worlds, creating a new cultivation method was just a snap of its fingers. However, An Qisheng's requirements were too high.

He not only had to reconstruct a new path based on his 'Qi Seed'.

It also had to be a new path that encompassed the 'Taoism, Buddhism, Divinity, Demon, and Ghost' paths of this world.

This was too difficult.

"The new cultivation method is extremely important and cannot be entrusted to a divine power."

An Qisheng's heart and mind were serene. Since he had cut off his Primordial Spirit and entered this world, the various fragments of his Primordial Spirit had sensed something.

However, the two Dao Yi Diagram fragments…

His thoughts fluctuated, but he couldn't tell Blue Spirit Child. Facing the little fellow's rambling, he could only perfunctorily get by.

"Without the 'Great Evolution Heavenly Insight', I can only grind it out. This old god has a lot of memories, but there are obvious divisions. It is still not enough to condense the embryonic form of cultivation…"

Blue Spirit Child flapped its little wings and jumped out, blinking its eyes, "I discovered from this old god's memory that the Imperial Heaven Court has a 'Great Dao Heavenly Book', which records the history of the evolution of heaven and earth from ancient times to the present. If we can get this thing…"

The little fellow's eyes shone, obviously very greedy.

"That Great Dao Heavenly Book is a treasure born at the beginning of the world. How can it be so easy to obtain?"

An Qisheng was too lazy to pay attention to this greedy little fellow. With a thought, he had already landed above the sea of his heart, within the True Spirit Throne Chart, which was like a divine court.

The Great Dao Heavenly Book belonged to Di Yan. Even if he was far away in the outer heavens at this time, how could it be easy to take his things?

"Great Free Heavenly Demon Lord…"

As An Qisheng's thoughts moved, the Primordial Spirit imprint, which was covered by the True Spirit Throne Chart and was as black as ink, slowly rose.
