109: Chapter 109 The Immortal Golden Body is Completed, Rivaling the Great Emperor

"That is right, who was the ancient ancestor of our clan? He was once invincible across the myriad realms." Jiang Jiuyang said with a proud look.

"If that is so, why did our Jiang Clan suffer such a miserable fate thirty thousand years ago? We were almost annihilated?" Xie Wushang said.

"Sigh, the other heavenly emperor weapon has slumbered for too long... That artifact spirit is arrogant... and no one has ever been able to awaken it."

"Otherwise, how could it have come to this?"

Jiang Jiuyang let out a long sigh.

"Although a heavenly emperor weapon is powerful, because it has existed for too long, every time it is used, it damages the Origin power of the heavenly emperor weapon's artifact spirit."

Ji Qianyue said, "If the consumption is too great, there is a risk of its realm dropping."

"Then after all you've said, having this heavenly emperor weapon is the same as not having it?" Holy Spirit Bird chimed in and said.

"Scram..." Emperor Jiuyang scolded irritably, flicking his finger to send Holy Spirit Bird flying.

Holy Spirit Bird did a flip and flew in front of them.

It gave a silly chuckle, not angry at all, and seemed to want to listen to gossip as well.

"Ordinary people cannot awaken the heavenly emperor weapon simply because their natural talent is insufficient... and they have not caught its eye," Emperor Jiuyang said.

"Hehe, respected Emperor Jiuyang, have you also failed to catch the heavenly emperor weapon's eye?" Holy Spirit Bird chuckled and asked quite politely.

"Scram!" Hearing this, Emperor Jiuyang was speechless and flicked it away once more.

What kind of attitude was this little bird showing?

Why did it always have to bring up sore subjects?

The little bird looked aggrieved; it had very politely added an honorific title, didn't it?

Xie Wushang pulled it to his side and stroked Holy Spirit Bird.

"Master is still the best!" Holy Spirit Bird smiled honestly, staying in Xie Wushang's arms while looking at Emperor Jiuyang with glowing eyes.

Its Face was still full of gossip.

"Wushang is a heavenly prodigy, a rare sight in a million years. With him taking action, perhaps he can make our clan's other heavenly emperor weapon awaken."

Jiang Jiuyang looked at Xie Wushang with a burning gaze.

"Indeed, Wushang possesses the posture for Immortal Ascension. If even he cannot awaken the heavenly emperor weapon, who else in the current world can?"

Ji Qianyue touched her chin, glanced at Xie Wushang, and nodded slightly. Her bright eyes were also filled with anticipation.

"I can indeed go and give it a try." Xie Wushang nodded slightly, his interest in that heavenly emperor weapon increasing a bit.

After all, being able to pacify the emperor clans without flipping the table was naturally the best outcome.

"However, for now, let us first Cultivate the Immortal Golden Body Formula to Major Achievement."

He sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, took out the Starry Purple-Veined Gold, and began to refine it.

As long as the golden body reached Major Achievement, his physique could rival an emperor weapon, and he would be fine even taking a direct blow from an emperor.

"Very well, this master will first repair this tianyang halberd." Jiang Jiuyang nodded.

The golden stone that Xie Wushang obtained from the Jiang Clan's treasury was taken out by Jiang Jiuyang, and he manifested a divine furnace to recast this weapon.

Even Quasi-Emperors could not refine gold stones of the Emperor Realm.

Only an emperor could do so.

Therefore, for an ordinary Cultivator wanting to refine the Immortal Golden Body Formula to Major Achievement, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, requiring endless years.

It also required the assistance of an emperor.

Yet Xie Wushang merely urged the power of Law within the disaster prison bead, and began to refine the Starry Purple-Veined Gold bit by bit. Within that gold stone, a natural force of the Dao Law began to be integrated into his own bones and Meridians.

That was a force of starry Law.

Light patterns intertwined across his physique, constantly exuding a special Dao rhythm.

Within the acupoints of his body, it was as if an endless starry expanse was hidden, capable of accommodating the myriad realms.

His aura became incomparably profound.

The Dao Law of the starry expanse also began to be condensed into form by Xie Wushang, branded within his physique.

"The Immortal Golden Body Formula created by the Immortal Emperor is truly profound." Ji Qianyue manifested.

Looking at Xie Wushang's skin and physique shimmering with Dao aura, she couldn't help marveling at it.

Her eyes shone brightly, as if she were admiring a work of art.

The next day, early morning.

In Xie Wushang's palace, a huge vortex manifested.

The vortex soared into the sky, connecting with the Nine Heavens.

Above the firmament, majestic stellar power poured down, injecting into Xie Wushang's body.

This caused the true essence in the grotto-heavens within his body to be continuously compressed, transforming into the purest force of Law.

All three hundred and sixty-five grotto-heavens completed their transformation, resembling a Small World inside, with each manifestation expanding a hundredfold.

A short while later, tribulation clouds shrouded the firmament.

Dark clouds capped the peak, shrouding the entire Jiang Clan.

The vast heavenly might pressed down so heavily that people could not breathe.

"Has an emperor descended?"

"An Immortal War?"

"Has the Immortal War begun?" People of the Jiang Clan pushed open their doors one after another, looking up with solemn expressions.

Such might only belonged to an emperor.

"The golden body at Major Achievement has attracted the Heavenly Tribulation!" Xie Wushang's gaze stirred as he looked up.

"No, Undergoing Tribulation at this time will surely make people think my Jiang Clan has gained another emperor." Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

He immediately urged the disaster prison bead to conceal the heavenly secrets.

Instantly, his aura was covered up.

High up in the air, the Heavenly Dao seemed unable to sense his aura.

"Oh..." Vaguely, a light sound of surprise seemed to ring out in heaven and earth.

Then, the heavenly secrets vanished.

The emperor's might was also no longer present.

"Heavenly Dao, interesting..." Xie Wushang clearly sensed that faint, elusive fluctuation.

He smiled faintly, reined in his aura, and then stood up.

"Master is truly amazing, even the Heavenly Dao has to give him Face and take the Heavenly Tribulation back." Holy Spirit Bird looked up at the sky.

Afterwards, it hugged Xie Wushang's thigh with a silly smile.

"I, the little bird, am truly blessed by heaven, to actually be able to hug such a golden thigh!"

Holy Spirit Bird also sensed that sound of surprise from the Heavenly Dao.

The sound emitted by the Heavenly Dao just now was something ordinary emperors could not perceive.

Because Holy Spirit Bird was nurtured and born from the tree of great dao, it was naturally attuned to the Dao, and thus was able to perceive it.

"Master, congratulations on your golden body reaching Major Achievement."

It hugged Xie Wushang's thigh to offer congratulations, then crawled up to the latter's neck and rubbed its head against its master's neck.

Appearing quite well-behaved.

Xie Wushang nodded slightly, then pushed open the door.

"The emperor's might has disappeared."

"Have the foreign emperors retreated?" Within the Jiang Clan, countless Saints whispered, also feeling somewhat baffled.

Many people looked toward some Great Saints.

Others looked toward the Quasi-Emperors.

At this time, Quasi-Emperor Qinghong and Quasi-Emperor Bayang had both emerged from seclusion.

They knitted their brows.

"The aura just now seemed to come from the Heavenly Dao rather than an emperor. Could it be that our clan's ninth-realm Quasi-Emperor failed a Breakthrough?"

Quasi-Emperor Qinghong whispered.

Breaking through to the Emperor Realm...

Many Quasi-Emperors would head to the Sea of Dao when the Emperor's Road opened.

Going there, the opportunity to attain the Dao would be even greater.

However, the Emperor's Road did not open frequently, and more Quasi-Emperors would choose to go into seclusion to break through to the Emperor Realm.

As such, the proportion of failures would also be greater.

"That's not right, the heavenly might just now seemed to lock onto Wushang's dao field." Quasi-Emperor Bayang's gaze narrowed.

He looked toward Xie Wushang's dao field.

"How is that possible! He only just broke through to the eleventh realm, how could he be breaking through to the Emperor Realm at this time." Empress Qinghong shook her head and said.

"This..." Quasi-Emperor Bayang scratched his head awkwardly.

Indeed...

How long has this junior even been cultivating?

He had already stepped from the first realm into the eleventh realm.

How could he possibly attempt a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm before them?

Tianxing Divine Palace.

Xie Wushang pushed open the door and walked out of the sleeping quarters.

Outside, a rainbow light streaked across, and it turned out to be Jiang Nianyang flying over and landing.

"Uncle Wushang!" Jiang Nianyang looked at Xie Wushang with an excited expression.

After a day of consolidating his cultivation base, he felt terrifyingly strong and reignited his invincible belief.
