71: Chapter 71 The Unblemished Divine Child, Possessing the Bearing of a Heavenly Emperor
The moment the divine furnace formed, Xie Wushang's Dharma body guided it, opening the furnace mouth toward the moon high in the sky and flying straight toward it.
As the furnace flew forward, nine suns circulated along its walls, causing a giant flame vortex to manifest at the furnace mouth.
The churning of this vortex seemed capable of devouring the heavens and earth, swallowing the galaxy pouring down from the moon high above into its midst.
The divine furnace was like a vast sea; when the galaxy fell into it, it did not raise a single ripple before being burned into water vapor by the flames.
Afterwards, flame Dao patterns rolled into the air like chains, binding the overturning moon and pulling it into the furnace.
Inside the furnace, flames swept past, and that moon was dissolved in an instant.
Taking advantage of the momentum, the furnace flew high into the sky, its mouth vortex churning to devour all the flashing lightning in the high altitude.
That vast sea of Yin was entirely sucked into it.
Afterwards, high in the sky, the tribulation clouds disappeared, and the might of the Heavenly Dao temporarily ceased to exist.
"This… This is the 'Jiuyang Divine Furnace Scripture'… It was created by the Jiuyang Emperor of my clan. If Cultivated to Major Achievement, it can smelt all things in heaven and earth."
Seeing this, Quasi-Emperor Bayang's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help drawing a sharp breath. "This Jiuyang Divine Furnace has drawn the power of the Sun Dao… This brat has actually Cultivated this scripture to the Extreme Realm! No wonder he was unwilling to take me as his master."
"Merely at the Eighth Realm… to be able to Cultivate it to the Extreme Realm…"
"Even the Ancient Emperors are no better than this!"
Quasi-Emperor Bayang looked at Xie Wushang in a new light. "I am indeed unworthy to be his master." He sighed, convinced from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, he had still felt resentful toward Xie Wushang for refusing to become his disciple.
He had bluntly stated that this junior was arrogant and proud, making it difficult for him to achieve great things.
Now it seemed that he was truly a frog at the bottom of a well, ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth.
"First the 'Great Sun Void-Shattering Fist Scripture', then the Great Sun Burial Domain Sword Classic… and the 'Jiuyang Divine Furnace Scripture'. Just how many Emperor Scriptures has Divine Son Wushang mastered?" Elder Two drew a sharp breath. The man before his eyes was only around thirty years of age.
Yet he had Cultivated three Emperor Scriptures to the Extreme Realm.
Such terrifying talent was rare throughout ancient and modern times.
One must know that even a Saint, exhausting their entire life, might not necessarily be able to Cultivate a single 'Emperor Scripture' to Perfection.
Let alone the Extreme Realm?
"Such natural talent… shocking ancient and modern times, Divine Son Wushang probably possesses the demeanor of a Heavenly Emperor." An Elder of the Jiang Clan shouted aloud.
"Heavenly Emperor… That truly is a supreme figure capable of suppressing an entire era!"
"Will my Jiang Clan still have the opportunity to produce a Heavenly Emperor?" An aged senior of the Jiang Clan said with tears streaming down his face and a face full of emotion.
"The demeanor of a Heavenly Emperor?" In the distance, Wang Zhiyin's gaze was incomparably gloomy.
Wang Linglong stared closely at Xie Wushang. "How… how could he have such terrifying natural talent?"
"Grand Aunt…" Wang Linglong looked at Wang Zhiyin with some worry. "If he grows up, will he avenge Jiang Tianxing?" She began to feel a bit panicked. If it were merely the demeanor of an Emperor, they had the dual foundations of the Jiang Clan and the Wang Clan.
And thus they would have nothing to fear.
But right now, the strength of Xie Wushang's talent made them begin to feel a sense of danger.
"The demeanor of a Heavenly Emperor? Even if he has the demeanor of Immortal Ascension, so what? Without growing up, he is ultimately just an ant."
Wang Zhiyin said chillingly.
The Heavenly Tribulation continued.
A full day passed.
The Geniuses of the Jiang Clan simply watched as the Lightning Tribulation clouds in the firmament changed again and again.
Each time, the Lightning Tribulation was different.
From the initial shock, everyone had already started to become numb to it.
"Big Brother, how many paths of Lightning Tribulation is the Divine Son undergoing now?"
"Three hundred and forty paths!"
"So many? Looking at this, the power of the Lightning Tribulation is almost comparable to the strike of a Saint King, yet he's completely fine?"
"He truly is a freak!"
"Indeed! This Divine Son of ours is truly a Prodigy, even surpassing his father by a bit… He will definitely prove the Dao and become an Emperor."
"Haha, if there is one more Emperor, my Jiang Clan will have a bit more say on the Emperor's Road."
Discussions buzzed within the Jiang Clan.
Quite a few Cultivators went off to eat a meal, drink some tea, or go on a date, and then subsequently returned to watch Xie Wushang Undergoing Tribulation.
Everyone no longer had their previous tension, clearly having seen it so often that they were no longer surprised.
Empress Qinghong stood high in the sky, flames blooming beneath her feet, and Sword Qi condensing into a sword lotus that supported her body.
"The three hundred and sixtieth Heavenly Tribulation."
She watched Xie Wushang weather each Heavenly Tribulation, murmuring softly, her face devoid of any emotion.
She was almost completely numb.
Toward the man before her, she had long since admired and respected him with utmost devotion.
Even though she was a Quasi-Emperor.
Yet she could not help but sigh with emotion that each generation produces talents, and each new generation replaces the old.
Finally, after another two hours, Xie Wushang finished Undergoing Tribulation.
"Three hundred and sixty-five paths of Heavenly Tribulation… That is to say, he has mastered three hundred and sixty-five kinds of Dao Profound Truths… What is he trying to do? For ordinary people, comprehending a single kind of Dao Profound Truth and condensing it into a Law is already as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but three hundred and sixty-five kinds…"
Elder Two drew a sharp breath.
"Even in a hundred or a thousand years, he might not necessarily succeed!"
He was puzzled in his heart, not understanding why Xie Wushang was wasting time comprehending so many Dao Profound Truths.
"A freak of nature… Could it be that he wants to Cultivate the Three Thousand Daos? To use this to prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Emperor?" Quasi-Emperor Bayang murmured.
To prove the Dao and become an Emperor, carrying a single Dao was sufficient.
But if one wanted to prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Emperor, they had to bear the Mandate of Heaven and carry the power of the Heavenly Dao of the entire world.
Only by thoroughly understanding the Three Thousand Daos would one have the opportunity to bear the Mandate of Heaven and prove the Dao to become a Heavenly Emperor.
Throughout the ages, far too few people had been able to prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Emperor.
Every single one of them was an unparalleled Genius.
"The tribulation clouds have finally disappeared."
"I really don't know how Divine Son Wushang Cultivates. At such a young age, he has already mastered so many Dao Profound Truths."
The tribulation clouds in the high altitude vanished, and the power of the Heavenly Dao dissipated bit by bit. The descendants of the Jiang Clan only felt their breathing become much easier.
They were also incomparably curious about Xie Wushang.
It was hard to imagine that someone less than thirty years of age could master so many Profound Truths.
Even if he didn't sleep every day, wouldn't it still be impossible to accomplish?
"He is a rare talent." Quasi-Emperor Qinghong looked at Xie Wushang in a new light.
"Undergoing Tribulation was a success… Even if I haven't stepped into the Saint Realm, with the power of my Profound Truths and Divine Abilities at this moment, I far surpass ordinary Saints. Next is to refine the longyan gold stone and enhance the Immortal Golden Body Formula." Xie Wushang's Primordial Spirit murmured.
Afterwards, ripples surfaced in the Void Realm, and his Primordial Spirit plunged into the Jiuyang Emperor Valley Secret Realm, returning into his true body's body.
Thus, at this moment, he possessed two Primordial Spirits.
One was the Natal Divine Soul in the space of the disaster prison bead, possessing Great Saint Peak strength.
The other was the Primordial Spirit Cultivated afterwards, with Eighth Realm cultivation.
Afterwards, he began to use the power of the Natal Divine Soul to control the nearby Emperor Flames, evolving a heaven and earth divine furnace to smelt the Longyan Gold.
The Quasi-Emperor-grade longyan gold stone was extremely hard; ordinary Great Saints were unable to refine it, and only a Quasi-Emperor possessed this Divine Ability.
Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul was at the Great Saint Peak.
Controlling these Emperor-grade true flames, even a wisp of spilled true fire could slowly refine the longyan gold stone before him.
It was just that Emperor-grade true flames were dangerous, so Xie Wushang also had to be extremely careful, not daring to draw too much, for fear of accidentally harming his Primordial Spirit.
The refined gold stone turned into liquid and was integrated into his body little by little, reshaping his Meridians and Dantian, intending to forge a golden body with it.
This process was extremely arduous.
For many people, a slight carelessness would cause their bodies to be melted by the gold stone, resulting in death and the dissipation of their Dao.
It was also because Xie Wushang had the assistance of the disaster prison bead; otherwise, Cultivating it would have been thousands of times more difficult.
