Chapter 280 Taiyi's Revival
The golden sparks flickered on and off. Despite being exhausted, Chang Hao carefully protected the dying flames of the sun, hoping that it was truly the awakening of Taiyi's consciousness.
The Eastern Emperor Bell appeared automatically, its clear chimes echoing in the silent Purple Mansion. Gradually, specks of starlight appeared in the Purple Mansion, like fireflies surrounding Chang Hao. They would occasionally land on Chang Hao's shoulders, hair ornament, and hair ends, bringing a sense of comfort. The wisp of flame that Chang Hao had been protecting in his palm quietly rose into the air and gently touched Chang Hao's brow.
"uncle……"
“Taiyi…” Chang Hao touched his brow in a daze. It really was Taiyi. He could feel it.
Countless sparks converged into one place, and a cluster of blazing flames rose up, circulating on its own. The sparks within the Purple Mansion rose up, and Chang Hao looked up and saw that the sparks had gathered into a celestial constellation, repairing the Purple Mansion, which was riddled with holes, according to the laws of celestial movement.
Chang Hao stood in the Purple Mansion, which seemed to be a universe of its own, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. As he looked at the countless stars, he unconsciously shed a tear, which fell into the Purple Mansion and transformed into countless fire lotuses.
Taiyi's illusory figure appeared in the Purple Mansion, and with his true heart, he gently hugged Chang Hao, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
Taiyi's eyes were filled with indescribable emotions. This silly child, he was stunned when he saw Chang Hao appear in his Purple Mansion after just waking up.
“Taiyi…” Chang Hao feared that this illusory phantom would dissipate, so the power of the sun’s origin flowed continuously into Taiyi’s primordial spirit.
"No," Taiyi gently stopped Changhao, "I am now fully conscious and inside the Sun Star. The Sun Star will naturally provide me with its source. You don't need to do this."
“My origin is purer.” Chang Hao didn’t understand why Taiyi refused, since Taiyi’s originally illusory figure was now clearer.
“I know better than anyone what I need right now,” Taiyi said hesitantly. “Good boy, go out first and wait for me to wake up. Next time, don’t enter other people’s Purple Mansions casually, and don’t let others into your own Purple Mansions easily.”
If you're not careful, someone might take advantage of you.
This silly child, the Purple Mansion is not a place he can come to. Luckily he woke up in time, otherwise, who knows what outrageous things this silly child would have done.
"Okay, I'll go out and wait for you." Chang Hao nodded obediently, went outside, and held Taiyi's body, waiting for Taiyi to open his eyes and return to his side.
Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief. When no one was around, he couldn't help but recall the past. Big brother... The heart-wrenching pain almost made Taiyi's figure disappear again.
Fortunately, the bit of essence that Chang Hao had just passed through sustained his primordial spirit.
Taiyi wept silently. The only way out of the eternal suffering was death, but Taiyi could not. He had to recover as soon as possible, as ten nephews were waiting for his care. With the Demon Court fallen, how could the descendants of the former Demon Emperor possibly fare well...
Chang Hao's heart was filled with joy, his eyes crinkling with laughter. He would occasionally glance down to see if Taiyi had opened his eyes. Even if someone attacked the South Heavenly Gate now, they wouldn't be able to get him out of the Sun Star.
Chang Haoyue grew increasingly anxious, occasionally touching foreheads to check on Taiyi's condition.
Taiyi was too preoccupied with Chang Hao's antics to feel heartbroken; all he wanted was to wake up quickly and get his little darling to behave.
When Chang Hao tried to check on Taiyi's condition again, he finally saw Taiyi open his eyes and look at him helplessly.
Chang Hao awkwardly stopped. "Taiyi, are you feeling unwell? Do you need any rare or precious materials? I'll go to Buzhou Mountain and dig them up for you."
The batch of immortal herbs he brought out from Buzhou Mountain before had all been consumed by him long ago.
"Where can we find any medicinal herbs that would be useful to us now?" Taiyi chuckled. "I'll just drink some Emperor's Elixir." It's already a miracle that I've woken up. My injuries will heal eventually as they heal.
"Yes, yes, I'll take you there right now. Freshly dug ones are the best." Chang Hao immediately planned to go to Buzhou Mountain, but he was worried about leaving the weakened Taiyi on the Sun Star, so he turned around and pulled Taiyi down to the mortal realm with him.
Overjoyed, Chang Hao had long forgotten his worries before coming to the Sun Star and had no idea what was going on.
Taiyi looked at Changhao indulgently, his heart filled with worries, yet he allowed Changhao to pull him away from the Sun Star and land at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
Taiyi looked up at the sky without making a sound. The bright moon hung high, and there was no wind or waves, but a chill ran through his heart.
Chang Hao released Taiyi's hand. "Taiyi, we must climb Buzhou Mountain step by step to show our respect for Father Pangu."
In the blink of an eye, the weather changed dramatically, dark clouds loomed over the city, and divine thunder was brewing.
Taiyi smiled bitterly, glancing down at his feet. The earth was slowly cracking, as if it were about to devour him.
As expected, Heaven would not tolerate him. Even if he survived, he would never be allowed to leave the Sun Star for the rest of his life. If he did, he would be punished by Heaven and Earth and would be condemned by the Three Realms.
The Sun Star was the final protection left to him by the Father God Pangu.
Taiyi subtly distanced himself from Changhao, making sure the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder struck him precisely when it struck; his nephew was innocent and shouldn't be implicated.
Chang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately hugged Taiyi, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's alright."
The demon race has been gone for many years, but the Heavenly Dao still does not tolerate Taiyi. Chang Hao's previous worries have become a reality, and there is no room for complacency.
The heavy black clouds solidified, and the brewing Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was so dark it was almost black, but it still didn't strike. Several thunderclaps sounded in the dry sky, reluctantly gathering in the air, just waiting for Taiyi to be alone before striking down.
"How is this possible..." Taiyi was dumbfounded. How could the Heavenly Dao avoid Xiaoshi and disperse the Heavenly Punishment? Judging from this, as long as Xiaoshi is by his side, the Heavenly Dao is completely helpless against him.
Chang Hao dared not let go of Taiyi at all, fearing that the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning might suddenly strike Taiyi, who was currently very weak and could not withstand the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.
"Heaven will not tolerate the rise and fall of the demon race," Chang Hao said in a muffled voice in Taiyi's arms. "Uncle is the Eastern Emperor of the demon race, and Heaven will not allow you to appear and influence the situation of the prehistoric world."
Taiyi thought for a moment and then swore to the heavens: "Donghuang Taiyi is a thing of the past. Now there is only Taiyi in the world, and there is no more Donghuang."
The dark clouds continued to weigh heavily on people's minds. Chang Hao laughed in exasperation. This stubborn Heavenly Dao grabbed Taiyi's wrist and dragged him to the top of Buzhou Mountain.
Upon entering the small world atop Buzhou Mountain, Taiyi visibly relaxed considerably. The heavenly punishment above his head, having lost all trace of Taiyi, reluctantly dissipated.
Chang Hao casually plucked a fire-attribute immortal herb and handed it to Taiyi. Every single one of these herbs that grows here has miraculous effects.
"Come on, eat as much as you want." Chang Hao was rich and powerful. Besides him, even Hongjun couldn't get in here, and no one else could touch the things inside except him.
Taiyi did not refuse Chang Hao's kindness. He swallowed all the immortal herbs that Chang Hao offered without blinking until he could eat no more.
“This is indeed an excellent place to take refuge. Fortunately, Gonggong did not knock down Buzhou Mountain back then. Xiao Shi, did you take your brothers to this place to escape the initial divine punishment?” Taiyi looked around. Although the place was small, the spiritual energy was pure mist, making it an excellent blessed land.
