In the ancient times of the universe, humanity faced an extremely difficult situation.
Even though two emperors, the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor, had emerged, the sheer number of humans, spanning the universe and numbering in the billions, meant that geniuses were ultimately a minority, and most were still ordinary people. Faced with the myriad ancient races, they did not possess much power to resist.
When the Sun and Moon Emperors were alive, the ancient emperors of the Supreme Dao suppressed the underlying forces and stabilized the order, so the human race was temporarily safe. However, after their passing, the human race faced a great crisis.
In the ancient times, among all the races, those that had emperors were the royal families.
Generally speaking, each of the major royal families has only produced one ancient emperor. There may be those who are about to attain enlightenment, or even those who attain enlightenment in a different way, but there has never been a second ancient emperor in the world.
The human race, which is weak and insignificant in the eyes of all races, has produced two ancient emperors.
This aroused both envy and fear among the ancient races.
Therefore, after the death of the Human Emperor, the human race suffered oppression from various races and faced a difficult situation, struggling to survive in the cracks.
There are actually many human cultivators like the ancient demon Dongfang Taiyi.
However, most of them passed away in the long river of time, without sealing their divine source, and did not live to see the next generation.
The rise of the human race occurred in the ancient times, when one after another ancient emperors attained enlightenment, numbering in the dozens. Imperial scriptures were passed down for eternity, imperial weapons suppressed the heavens, and generation after generation of human emperors fought against forbidden zones, thus firmly establishing the human race's current status.
The strongest of all races in the universe!
Every Great Emperor Family, Great Emperor Dynasty, and Great Emperor Lineage is a super power equivalent to the Primordial Royal Family.
Unfortunately, many of the great emperors' lineages had their own unsavory dealings and rarely joined forces.
Otherwise, the human race's power would only be stronger than it is today!
Its power overwhelms the endless universe and starry sea!
After Dongfang Taiyi was revived, he also learned of the great rise of the human race. He was overjoyed and naturally even less willing to enter any ancient life planet and pose a threat to the local people.
Just like when Ye Fan first unsealed her.
Without the seal, although Earth was within reach, Dongfang Taiyi worried that after he became possessed by a demon, he would lose control of his power and go on a killing spree, slaughtering all living beings and ultimately destroying Earth, killing billions of humans. Therefore, he parted ways with Ye Fan, left the ancient star Yinghuo, and entered the depths of space to seek a way to seal himself or find a way to break free.
However, judging from the current situation, Dongfang Taiyi has clearly not yet found a way to break the demonic power.
Sometimes a god, sometimes a demon. Just now, Dongfang Taiyi, in his demonic state, sensed the aura of the Blue Gold Divine Sword and took the initiative to attack, venturing into the depths of the star, only to be suppressed by Cao Ya, who helped him regain his senses.
"You... have cultivated many Taoist techniques?" Dongfang Taiyi remained silent for a long time, as if sensing some of Cao Ya's aura of laws, and suddenly raised his head to speak.
“This path isn’t suitable for others,” Cao Ya said, shaking his head.
He was able to share these other systemic powers with the help of the system space, allowing him to possess them and use them at will.
But Cao Ya couldn't control the system space either.
Therefore, his path is really not suitable for a second person.
It was not that Cao Ya intentionally concealed anything.
“Old Sage, don’t be discouraged. I do have some special Taoist techniques that might be of some help to your situation.” Seeing Dongfang Taiyi lower his head again, looking thoughtful, Cao Ya thought for a moment and said with a smile.
His path is not suitable for others, but the Taoist methods shared by Cao Ya include many extraordinary and unique techniques. If one can successfully comprehend them, they might be of some help to Dongfang Taiyi's situation.
Subsequently, Cao Ya sent the "Smiling with a Flower" talisman to Dongfang Taiyi.
The reason for choosing this move is twofold: firstly, it is a Taoist technique created by an incomplete eight-star master, and its quality is extremely high; secondly, the true meaning of "Picking a Flower and Smiling" is to pursue a special state of mind.
After all, this move, the "Buddha's Palm," originated from when the Buddha was preaching at the Vulture Peak Assembly. He held up a flower and showed it to the assembly, and everyone remained silent except for Venerable Kasyapa, who came with a smile.
Although the path of Taiyi of the East is very different from that of Venerable Kasyapa.
But the essence of this kind of spiritual practice is the same.
If he could master the "Smile While Plucking a Flower" technique and comprehend the sect's secret teachings, Cao Ya thought that Dongfang Taiyi's spiritual cultivation would leap forward, allowing him to fuse the Sun's Holy Power and the Moon's Holy Power with a higher state of mind. This was quite a possibility.
Having received the "Smile with a Flower" technique, Dongfang Taiyi thanked Cao Ya and then stayed on this star to seriously study this ultimate move of the Great Universe Buddha, "Supreme Being of All Ages".
With Dongfang Taiyi's insight, he could naturally see the power of "Smiling Through Flowers," and even the Ancient Emperor's True Scripture he obtained might not be able to compare.
Dongfang Taiyi, as expected of someone who had simultaneously cultivated both the "True Scripture of the Sun" and the "True Scripture of the Moon," immediately grasped the essence of the "Smiling While Plucking a Flower" technique upon first touch. His spiritual cultivation had improved, as if he were standing at an infinitely high vantage point, possessing a clear and thorough understanding of his own magical power. Before long, he even managed to maintain a delicate balance, seemingly on the verge of resolving the divergence and conflict between divine and demonic power.
He is currently a sixth-level immortal saint. If he can resolve the hidden dangers in his power, Dongfang Taiyi has a good chance of breaking through to the quasi-emperor realm.
Cao Ya naturally wishes for Dongfang Taiyi, a great saint of the human race who is devoted to the public good, to become as strong as possible.
Dongfang Taiyi wanted to comprehend the "Smile While Plucking a Flower" (a Buddhist concept), and felt that this place was quiet and undisturbed, and he didn't need to worry about disturbing others, so he stayed there.
Cao Ya did not leave this star because he received two ancient human emperor scriptures from Dongfang Taiyi.
The Sun Emperor's Scripture! The Moon Emperor's Scripture!
Although Cao Ya knew many laws, what he cultivated and comprehended was the Taiyin Dao and the Dao of the Sword, which came from the Taiyin Sword Canon.
Dongfang Taiyi thought to himself that he couldn't accept Cao Ya's benefits for nothing.
Because it had been sealed away for millions of years, he had nothing of value to offer except a large white bone club.
Furthermore, upon seeing the blue-gold divine sword, Dongfang Taiyi understood even more clearly that Cao Ya didn't need his reward at all in terms of artifacts.
After much thought, Dongfang Taiyi realized the familiarity of Cao Ya's cultivation method and believed that the "Taiyin Huangjing" might be a good way to repay Cao Ya, helping him to see the path ahead and glimpse the true fruit of the imperial path.
Although he didn't have a definite feeling, he understood that Cao Ya must be at the level of a quasi-emperor!
In contemporary parlance, he would be considered a quasi-emperor.
As for the "Sun Emperor Scripture"... since the "Moon Emperor Scripture" has already been transmitted, we might as well package the "Sun Emperor Scripture" together and transmit it as well.
Dongfang Taiyi knew that Cao Ya also practiced Taoist techniques with masculine attributes and fire element.
Cao Ya was naturally delighted to receive it and intensified his study of it, especially the "Taiyin Emperor Scripture". Based on the "Taiyin Sword Canon", he quickly broke through his cultivation level and reached the sixth minor step of the sixth level of the Immortal Saint.
Of course, the overall combat strength remains unchanged at the level of a Dao-attaining cultivator.
The reason for such a rapid breakthrough is mainly due to the shared lineage between the "Taiyin Sword Canon" and the "Taiyin Imperial Scripture".
The former was created by a disciple of the Taiyin Emperor after gaining enlightenment from listening to the ancient emperor's teachings, and after a hundred years of arduous cultivation.
In a sense, Cao Ya could be considered a successor to the lineage of the Ancient Emperor of Taiyin.
Yes, Dongfang Taiyi is one too.
Moreover, he is also the successor of the ancient Sun Emperor!
