Chapter 1389: Chapter 628: Attaining Daluo, the Final Schemes Revealed (Part 2)

"Why are you angry?"

Old Man Bai trembled all over, suddenly realizing something, and exclaimed, "That Daluo Zheng Fa..."

"In ancient times there were Three Sovereigns, who are the three corpses of my true body." The Earth Emperor glanced at him, as if finding that Old Man Bai had a quick mind, his gaze showed a hint of appreciation, "I am the Earth Emperor, and within the Southern Continent is the Human Emperor."

"Then is that Daluo Zheng Fa the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Earth Emperor smiled slightly and did not answer.

But Old Man Bai understood, he was right!

The most special thing about Xuanwei Daoist Skill is the dual nature of Dao Fruit cultivators and dao skill — simply put, the cultivation technique is the cultivator, and the cultivator is the cultivation technique.

The deeper one cultivates, the more so this becomes.

Precisely because of this, cultivating a Dao Fruit cultivation technique is actually very risky — it’s easy to become a puppet of the founder of this technique, or even be possessed by them.

The uniqueness of the "Yellow Court Scripture" lies in Cutting Me, opening up the cultivation technique, rather than being controlled by an individual.

But now it appears that the Daluo Chapter of the "Yellow Court Scripture" obtained by Maitreya is different, though seemingly derived from the "Yellow Court Scripture," it should actually be the Emperor’s cultivation technique.

Maitreya now...can be said to have become half a Heavenly Emperor corpse.

Previously, the Daluo Chapter of the "Yellow Court Scripture" was actually a poisonous bait.

"You are not only trying to escape suppression, but also to possess Maitreya!"

The Earth Emperor nodded slightly, seemingly waiting for something without any urgency, "The true body has already been defeated by the Six Saints, and died with its dao dissipated, and we the Three Sovereigns, have also been separately suppressed."

"Among us, although the Human Emperor and I were severely injured, thanks to the reemergence of the Underworld and the development of Xuanwei, we have mostly recovered."

"Only the Heavenly Emperor corpse is different. After the ancient Heavenly Court shattered, its power was almost completely lost."

Qingnv’s body trembled, and she exclaimed, "The Heavenly Emperor corpse is free?"

The Earth Emperor remained silent, obviously affirming it again.

Old Man Bai pondered this for a while.

Now it seems that the Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Humans are actually closely related to the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and Xuanwei.

The Underworld was perfected by the Nine Nether Emperor, allowing the Earth Emperor to regain strength.

The Human Emperor...with the expansion of Xuanwei, the reappearance of the northern and southern continents indicates significant progress.

Only the Heavenly Emperor, whose Heavenly Court was the most thoroughly destroyed in ancient times, with over ninety percent of the All Heaven Stars Formation missing, had nothing like a Heavenly Palace left.

Thus, the Earth Emperor set his eyes on Maitreya.

Or rather, they cultivated Maitreya to recreate a Heavenly Emperor!

Qingnv, with a hint of pity in her tone, said, "You were using the Thunder Sound Buddha all along."

"His skills, half of which I taught him, were supposed to serve me." The Earth Emperor’s face bore a sarcastic expression.

"I worked hard to teach him back then, never expecting that he wouldn’t want to release me in the end and continually suppressed me."

"Later he knew that the Leiyin Temple would eventually be controlled by me, so he wanted to cultivate a Daluo Golden Immortal to change the situation."

"But he didn’t know, I also needed a new Heavenly Emperor corpse, Three Corpses Unification, to reestablish the Primordial, and simply went along with the flow."

"And he picked a talent recognized by the Six Saints for me."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Bai and the others finally sorted out the backstory.

The Heavenly Emperor corpse had long been freed, but in a poor state, unable to affect the Xuanwei situation.

The Thunder Sound Buddha’s attempt to cultivate a Future Buddha played right into the Earth Emperor’s plan.

Ironically, the Thunder Sound Buddha sacrificed himself and even the entire Pure Land without realizing he was paving the way for the Emperor.

Counting only the Earth Emperor, Maitreya, and the Human Emperor, that’s already three Taiyi Daluo-level forces.

There is no one in Xuanwei who can match them!

The Liuli Buddha, however, was filled with joy within:

The Pure Land was shattered, the Dharma Image within greatly damaged, and his realm had fallen below the Golden Immortal, barely able to display True Immortal strength.

But he was backing the right person!

The Earth Emperor had not only freed himself but also possessed Maitreya, and most importantly, the Earth Emperor was preparing for the unification of the Three Sovereigns to prove the Primordial Tao!

And the Jiushan Sect and the Great Leiyin Temple... were no longer able to resist.

But Old Man Bai still held a glimmer of hope!

Looking at Maitreya’s face, he thought of Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa had hidden little from him, thus he understood that Zheng Fa’s One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones method was incredibly marvelous, possibly even the unique Divine Skill of a Supreme Saint.

The strongest aspects of this cultivation method are twofold:

First, after a clone proves the Dao, the true body and other clones will also open the next realm’s gate without any barriers.

Thus previously, when the Heavenly Emperor body proved the Dao, the Nine Mountains Immortal Court suddenly gained four Golden Immortal level forces, rapidly boosting its strength.

Second, as the true body, Zheng Fa has absolute control over Maitreya.

In other words, Maitreya’s life and death are all in a single thought of Zheng Fa.

Even now when Maitreya is possessed by the Heavenly Emperor corpse, this suppression won’t disappear.

Simply put, as long as Zheng Fa acts, Maitreya has absolutely no power to resist!

The problem is, Zheng Fa suddenly went into seclusion before, leaving people unaware of what happened...

Now, the Earth Emperor was standing here, patient and speaking with them, clearly not intending to solve their doubts.

On the contrary, he was waiting for something.

As Old Man Bai was puzzled, the Earth Emperor suddenly turned his head, looking towards the sea, and the smile at his mouth’s corner widened a bit more.

Was the person he was waiting for here?

Old Man Bai and the others turned to look and saw a familiar figure quickly approaching above the sea.

It was Zheng Fa!

Old Man Bai first felt ecstatic, followed by concern.

He glanced at the Earth Emperor, then exchanged a worried look with Tang Lingwu, all filled with anxiety.

It was apparent that the Earth Emperor was waiting for Zheng Fa.

Could it be that Zheng Fa was also possessed?

As Zheng Fa flew closer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Fa still looked at them with the same closeness, his gaze clear, unchanged in any way.

"Zheng Fa, about Maitreya..."

"I know."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly, his expression equally heavy, but he didn’t act. Instead, he first looked at a certain void.

The Earth Emperor chuckled lightly, "You actually noticed?"

Old Man Bai felt somewhat confused; he saw in the void, a door of the world suddenly appeared.

A plain-looking middle-aged man walked out from it, with Fusang Wood following closely behind him like a shadow.

"How is the modern world here?"

Old Man Bai’s mind buzzed, understanding nothing as he looked at the Fusang Wood, appearing very obedient behind this man, and understood a bit:

The Fusang Wood is the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root of the modern world; if someone could control it, they would naturally also have considerable control over the modern world.

But the Fusang Wood is part of Zheng Fa’s Taoist Body, who could...

"Lu Yao."

Zheng Fa softly called out the man’s name.

Lu Yao!

Old Man Bai’s heart shook, so this was Lu Yao?

It’s no wonder this person could control the Fusang Wood. After all, the entire modern world used to be Lu Yao’s Golden Immortal World, only separated by a sword from Tianhe Venerable.

He had a deep connection with the Fusang Wood.

"Master Zheng, we meet again."

Lu Yao’s eyes were lively, showing no signs of being controlled by the Earth Emperor.

The Fusang Wood behind him spread its branches and leaves, seeming to echo his words.

"No wonder... I previously felt something wrong with my own Daoist skill, unable to even control myself." Zheng Fa’s tone carried a sense of sudden revelation, "It turned out the issue was with Fusang Wood."

Initially, Zheng Fa had cultivated the Green Yang Dao Body, and later on, from which he grew the Fusang Wood.

In other words, the Fusang Wood is actually a part of Zheng Fa’s Taoist Body.

After becoming a True Immortal, a Dao Fruit cultivator merges completely with this, making the Fusang Wood inseparable from him.

But now... the Fusang Wood had obviously been controlled by Lu Yao.

This was always something Zheng Fa worried about.

In the early years, he relied heavily on the Fusang Wood but knew in his heart it was originally the Demon Emperor Dao Fruit, deeply associated with Lu Yao, and thus he was very cautious.

Unexpectedly, this worry became a reality today!

Upon realizing this, Zheng Fa slowly turned his head to look at the Earth Emperor, asserting:

"Back then, when you moved the modern world to the West Continent, was it not for the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

Earlier, when the Earth Emperor conducted ceremonies, he and the Immortal Court assumed the other party aimed to acquire the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but now it seems there was another goal!

A hint of admiration flickered in the Earth Emperor’s eyes:

"I have long possessed the Hongmeng Purple Qi, what does it count as?"

"My target has always been you."
