Chapter 362 Zulong's Ambition
As the only emperor in thousands of years who dared to swallow up the world and use the word "emperor" for his own benefit, he even pierced through the entire starry sky and built the Ancient Starry Road.
As an emperor who was invincible in heaven and earth, he forcibly proved himself as the Emperor of Man in the human world and even forced the ancient gods to retreat and blockade the human world.
Zulong is undoubtedly the insurmountable peak for emperors of all dynasties. He stands on the top of the endlessly high peak, looking down at all the emperors since ancient times.
He has the qualifications, because all the emperors who came after him followed the path he pioneered, and no ancient emperor went further than him on this path.
Zulong himself is already a legend, lingering in the smoke of history.
And now, Zulong continued his legend in another way. He suppressed the entire underworld.
He even took the position of Emperor Yin into his pocket. This had never been done by anyone before, not even the Heavenly Venerable and Human Emperor in the ancient times.
But Zulong did it. With his own strength, he not only broke into the underworld, but also controlled it.
How domineering and majestic this is!
Qin Feng felt his blood boiling. As a descendant of Zulong, he felt proud. It was the glory of his ancestors that guided his direction.
Like the sun on the other side of life, shining on the endless distance.
"After all...it's the Ancestral Dragon!" Qin Feng sighed softly. There seemed to be thousands of emotions contained in this sentence.
Wen Zhengming stood with his hands behind his back, on the ancient and huge altar, and said:
"It is indeed Zulong. His strength is really not weak. If it were not for the fact that the underworld and the human world are not in harmony, he would only have one chance to attack. Then I would have to spend some effort to possibly defeat him."
Wen Zhengming seemed to feel the power just now, and commented thoughtfully: "With this kind of strength, even other beings at the level of Heavenly Venerable will definitely bow down to it."
Qin Feng heard this and asked his own question: "Has Zulong reached the level of Tianzun?"
Qin Feng was very curious about the strength of his ancestors. It could even be said to be an alternative kind of worship, or even an extreme respect.
Wen Zhengming glanced at Qin Feng and said, "We can't say that he has reached the level of Heavenly Venerate. We can only say that his current strength is above Heavenly Venerate. There is a big difference between being above Heavenly Venerate and being able to exert strength above Heavenly Venerate. The difference between them is insignificant."
Wen Zhengming seemed to feel that he was not clear at this point, so he continued:
"When Zulong was in the human world, he realized that the human world was not enough to make a human emperor, so his foundation was not solid."
"Although he is recovering quickly after arriving in the underworld, this recovery still takes a thousand years. His current strength has only reached the peak of the Human Emperor realm. If you say that he has reached a realm beyond the Human Emperor, then you are overthinking."
Wen Zhengming shook his head, denying that Zulong was beyond the level of Tianzun, and said:
"His current strength is still at the level of Human Emperor, but because he is qualified for the position of Yin Tianzi, he can call upon the power of Yin Shi, so he can now exert strength beyond the level of Human Emperor."
At this point, Wen Zhengming seemed to sigh with emotion and said, "It must be said that his talent is the most terrifying in the world. Since ancient times, no one in the past thousand years can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
Since ancient times, this kind of wording has been almost the highest praise, especially when it comes from the mouth of the being in front of him who is at least at the level of a Heavenly Venerate.
The authenticity of this is absolutely self-evident.
Qin Feng felt his heart was beating wildly. What kind of concept was it to be an existence beyond the level of Heavenly Venerate?
This is a terrifying realm that has never appeared in any of the ancient records.
His ancestors had actually achieved that, which was beyond Qin Feng's imagination.
Then, he raised his head and saw the eyes of the person in front of him.
Qin Feng instantly suppressed his excited mind. If Zulong was an existence beyond the level of Heavenly Venerate, then the terrifying existence in front of him who was fighting with Zulong must be equally terrifying.
Qin Feng swallowed and said, "Sir, Zulong seemed very surprised just now, but I saw it more deeply. In addition to being surprised, Zulong also had a hint of joy, as if he saw something extremely interesting. Why is that?"
"You've got the point."
Wen Zhengming glanced at him and said, "The position of the Yin Emperor is the most powerful position of God throughout history. It can control the power of the Yin world. If one has this kind of power, he is an existence that has surpassed the level of the Heavenly Venerable."
Wen Zhengming paused and said, "But it also has its own limitations. For example, it cannot appear in the human world, nor can it descend into the wilderness. These limitations are a kind of shackles for Zulong."
Wen Zhengming said this with a sigh:
"who is he?"
"He is Zulong, the first emperor since ancient times, a being that truly dominates the nine heavens and ten earths. How can he accept these restrictions? He won't accept them."
"He wants to break these restrictions and truly achieve the supreme position. He wants to enter the Great Wilderness and make those who did not submit to him in the past completely submit. But he can't get out. The restrictions of the Yin World on the Yin Emperor are terrifying. Even the Ancestral Dragon can't pry open the entire Yin World. He can only grind it down bit by bit."
Wen Zhengming's voice seemed extremely calm, but Qin Feng seemed to feel from it the arrogance of the First Emperor, his unwilling ambition, and his tyranny that was unmatched in the past thousand years.
All of this made Qin Feng fascinated.
"but………"
Wen Zhengming paused again and said, "The moment I fought him just now gave him hope. Two beings beyond the level of Heavenly Venerate, working together internally and externally, might really be able to break this bondage, so he was happy."
Can you break the barrier of the underworld?
Two beings who are beyond the level of Heavenly Venerate?
Qin Feng's forehead was dripping with sweat. He felt both excited and as if he had heard too many strange stories. These secrets that surpassed the level of Heavenly Venerate made him panic.
"Then... is it possible for Zulong to come out?" Qin Feng asked with bated breath.
Wen Zhengming nodded gently: "He has this opportunity. His talent and will are among the best in this world. If he can't break the restrictions of the position of Yin Tianzi, then no one in this world can break it."
After Wen Zhengming finished speaking, there was a long silence. Qin Feng did not ask anything else because he had already asked all the questions he wanted to ask.
And at this moment, Qiao Yuanshan fell from the void, and his previous sword was completely shattered, but he didn't care about this at this time. Being alive was more important than anything else.
"Junior Uncle-Master, was I dead just now?" Qiao Yuanshan asked softly, standing in front of Wen Zhengming.
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
However, Wen Zhengming gave him an affirmative answer: "Yes!"
“I resurrected you.”
After hearing this, Qiao Yuanshan was stunned, as if he was shocked.
At this moment, another figure appeared in front of Wen Zhengming, and the voice of the person who came was filled with a hint of disbelief:
"Was that Yin Tianzi just now?"
"Haven't you already seen it?" Wen Zhengming asked back.
Luo Jiuyou smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have repeatedly overestimated you, it seems that I still underestimate you constantly."
Since ancient times, Yin Tianzi has been regarded as an existence beyond the level of Tianzun. His power is enough to isolate the entire Yin world, making it impossible for all beings in time to spy on the Yin world.
But the person in front of him not only found the underworld, but also pulled the dead out of the underworld and then resurrected them in the human world. This method was beyond Luo Jiuyou's cognition.
In the memories that he has now awakened, even in the ancient times, no one who was a truly outstanding person could do it.
But at this moment, the man in front of him, who was a reincarnation like himself, could actually do it.
Who on earth is he the reincarnation of? An existence of this level could not have been unknown at the time. Even among the Heavenly Lords and Human Emperors, he must have been an extremely famous existence.
"Then try to overestimate me even more next time, so that you don't have to constantly refresh your own values." Wen Zhengming replied softly, as if he didn't care about his own shocking methods.
Luo Jiuyou shook his head and said, "It seems that you are very confident that you can refresh my values again in the future."
“If a person’s values are broken, then his values will be broken again and again. Once it happens for the first time, it will happen countless times.”
Wen Zhengming chuckled, looking calm.
"So this is an experience?" Qiao Yuanshan said on the other side.
Wen Zhengming nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, this is a training. The link between heaven and earth has been opened halfway, which means that people on both sides of the link between heaven and earth can already reach the other side through this road."
"Even if they haven't come down yet, it won't be long. Do you need such an experience? Do you blame Junior Master Uncle for being cruel?"
Qiao Yuanshan raised his head and said with a smile, "No, I didn't mean that. I just can't accept it for the time being."
"But it doesn't matter, at least we are still alive, right?"
"Being alive is the most beautiful thing, isn't it?"
Wen Zhengming nodded.
"Yes, living is the most beautiful thing. Being able to feel pain, joy, the breeze in the morning, and the sunset at dusk is the most beautiful thing in the world. Since ancient times, countless people have been asking for everything before they die."
Wen Zhengming smiled softly. These words seemed to be an answer to Qiao Yuanshan, but also seemed to be an explanation to himself.
Qiao Yuanshan had no idea what his junior uncle meant. He just felt that his words evoked his junior uncle's memories of his previous life.
But what Qiao Yuanshan didn't know was that Wen Zhengming was never thinking about the memories of his past life.
This is what I can bring to the world. The worst case is reincarnation, which means there is always hope. If you are lucky enough, you will be qualified to touch eternal life.
Wen Zhengming told himself this in his heart.
"Junior uncle-master, were you fighting with that person just now?" The old Taoist priest Long Xuzi also landed on the ancient bronze altar.
Without waiting for Wen Zhengming to speak, Luo Jiuyou said, "If you are talking about Yin Tianzi, he has just answered me. Yes, he just fought with Yin Tianzi and even forced him to retreat."
Wen Zhengming shook his head: "It's an exaggeration to say that I forced him to retreat. Both Emperor Yin and I only had that one chance to take action at that moment."
"This is a decision made by the two worlds, and no one can force it."
At this time, the old Taoist priest Longxuzi noticed Qin Feng standing aside. He frowned and asked, "He is the Emperor of Heaven?"
Qin Feng made a mockery and said, "There is no Heavenly Emperor now. There is only a cultivator named Qin Feng. If I must add a modifier, then I can say that he is a failure in establishing the Heavenly Court."
The old Taoist priest Longxuzi ignored Qin Feng's answer, but looked at his junior uncle with some confusion and said, "Junior uncle actually spared his life?"
Wen Zhengming glanced at Qin Feng and said, "He is guilty of unforgivable sins, but these sins have their own ways of atonement."
"How to atone?" The old Taoist priests Long Xuzi and Luo Jiuyou raised their eyebrows.
Wen Zhengming said calmly: "Let them go to the Great Wilderness."
"Dahuang?"
The old Taoist priest Longxuzi was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t the Great Wilderness a holy place for cultivation that people on earth long for?
Why is going to the wilderness considered a form of atonement?
The old Taoist priest Long Xuzi suddenly didn't understand what his junior uncle meant.
He cast a puzzled look at his junior uncle.
Wen Zhengming shook his head: "When they go, you will know."
"The reason why I created this experience is also for the Great Wilderness!"
Wen Zhengming seemed to have something else in his words, but no one dared to ask what it meant.
No one can make a being who has surpassed the level of Heavenly Venerate say something he doesn't want to say.
In a way, this is true freedom.
Freedom of the strong.
………
On the ground, Mosca, wearing a magic robe, looked at Zhou Quan beside him with a heavy face and said:
"Has your cultivation changed since you came back to life?"
Zhou Quan glanced at Mosca, seemingly not knowing why he was asking this, but he still answered: "The realm between life and death seems to have become more solid."
"Just solidification?" Mosca asked.
Zhou Quan clenched his fists, sensed his own strength and said, "I don't know how to describe this feeling. It feels like as long as I accumulate enough, I can easily step into the fifth step. The barrier to advancement seems to have disappeared."
Mosca's mouth twitched when he heard this, as if he had missed something important.
No, maybe it's something very important.
Why would he miss such a thing? Being able to easily cross the barrier of current cultivation is a very difficult thing in itself!
Is it because he didn't die?
What kind of logic is this?
Mosca's expression was full of distress. This world is making things difficult for me, Mosca!
If I don't die, am I wrong?
Mosca felt extremely annoyed, but he did not dare to complain. He even suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart, because it was the one who resurrected everyone.
Even when thinking in front of that person, you have to be careful.
"Alas, maybe it's not my destiny!" Mosca sighed softly.
"ah?"
Zhou Quan was stunned. He didn’t understand what Mosca was saying. Was he not satisfied with the resurrection?
Zhou Quan himself was very satisfied with this resurrection. Coming back to life is the wish of many people until their death, and this time he got it for nothing.
Is he still dissatisfied with something?
He was extremely satisfied.
"What fate?" Zhou Quan asked back.
"nothing."
Mosca shook his head. He didn't want to discuss this sad topic anymore. This topic was really too hurtful.
Everyone who participated in this expedition to the other side of the starry sky benefited greatly, but because he didn't want to die, he held on a little longer, and so he lost the greatest opportunity. No matter how you think about it, this matter is too terrible.
Mosca tried hard to divert his thoughts. He felt that if he continued thinking like this, he would go crazy sooner or later.
“I always feel like you want to say something, but you don’t.”
Zhou Quan frowned and said, "Why don't you say it out loud? After all, we are brothers who have shared life and death together."
My last beloved relative, brother, who passed away in my life, is still dead. Are you sure you want to be my brother?
Mosca glanced at Zhou Quan and said, "I'm not dead, so I'm not considered a life-and-death brother."
"You're not dead?"
Zhou Quan was startled, and then suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Mosca for a long time before slowly saying, "You...are awesome!"
"Shut up! I don't want to discuss this anymore."
Mosca said in a cold voice, and that voice was like a thousand-year-old black ice.
"All right!"
Zhou Quan shrugged, then looked up at the sunset in the distance, and thought to himself: "I don't know if the person inside my body is still there?"
Just as Zhou Quan had this thought, a voice sounded in his mind:
"Of course I am here!"
Zhou Quan thought to himself, "Aren't you afraid to speak in front of that person?"
"That person has already seen that I am here, but he just didn't say anything. He usually doesn't say anything to maintain respect for him, but this is not a reason for you to question me."
"Who is that reincarnation?" Zhou Quan was silent for a long time and finally asked this question.
Zhou Quan felt an endless silence in his sea of consciousness. After a long period of silence, he heard a voice:
"You can't say that!"
"Hey, one cannot say, you have been silent for so long."
As Zhou Quan replied, he thought to himself: That person's identity might be extremely terrifying.
He knew that Zhu Jiuyin might be able to see through his thoughts, but he didn't care now.
Even if Zhu Jiuyin knew what he was thinking, he couldn't say anything.
Zhou Quan looked into the distance.
As the clouds dissipated, the setting sun painted a brilliant glow in the distance. Zhou Quan felt deeply satisfied, as if he had survived a disaster.
“It’s great to be alive!”
In the vast universe, the sunset at this moment is worth thousands of words.
The world is truly a beautiful place, even on the other side of the starry sky.
