Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence-Chapter 748 340 Fengdu’s Beginning _2

Indeed, Shen Yuan was able to ascend to the top of Mount Tai's steps with his Tao Harmony cultivation, already unparalleled in history, but ultimately, the Mount Tai steps were merely a trial to meet with the Honorable Lord.

Perhaps there had always been some method to bypass the trial, it's just that no one dared to cheat in front of the Lord of Mount Tai.

Shen Yuan's ascent was entirely due to the Lord of Mount Tai being asleep and unable to monitor his dojo, so Bull Head did not take this ascent too seriously.

However, the strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm that Shen Yuan is displaying now, capable of contending with Bull Head, is an entirely different concept.

Bull Head glared at Shen Yuan with eyes about to split and said:

"Heavenly Immortal Realm strength, is this the confidence that makes you dare to challenge the Mount Tai Lord's dojo?

If you think such strength allows you to act recklessly here, then you are too ignorant. How could the depth of the Lord's foundation be something you can imagine?"

In the midst of speaking, Bull Head no longer held anything back, and an ethereal seal appeared in its hand. The sealed doors of the Mount Tai Palace emitted a deep rumble, and a crack began slowly widening.

In an instant, as if the heaven and earth were toppling, an oppressive force suddenly rose, both Mana and Primordial Elemental Qi within the body solidified at this moment, with only the Great Tao Manifestation sitting atop high dimensions faintly discerning—deep within that palace, a great throne seemingly carved out of Mount Tai itself stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

"Could Bull Head actually open the doors of Mount Tai Palace?"

A sudden shock crossed Shen Yuan's mind.

Although the Lord of Mount Tai was currently in a deep slumber, Shen Yuan was unsure what secrets lay within this temporary stay palace.

Thoughts stirring, the Great Tao Manifestation within harnessed the Emperor Fengdu's incorporeal persona to utilize the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power, drawing upon the lingering Highest Heaven aura on the steps of Mount Tai, a sharp rebuke issued from Shen Yuan's mouth.

"How audacious!"

The Gods Purging Divine Power commanded the Imperial Edict to sound, echoing the primordial sound of the Great Tao from the dawn of heaven and earth in front of the Mount Tai Palace, the Highest Heaven aura transformed into strands of cloud mist, wrapping around the Great Tao Manifestation.

Shen Yuan stood in front of the Great Tao Manifestation, his demeanor commanding, as if he were the Supreme Emperor walking the mortal realm.

The movements of Bull Head opening the Mount Tai Palace immediately ceased, its eyes widening with an air of astonished uncertainty filling its mind.

The erect figure bent unconsciously, with a voice filled with doubt rising from its mouth.

"Honorable... Lord?"

As Bull Head's thoughts fell into disarray, the Mount Tai Palace that had opened a crack thundered closed.

A sigh of relief welled up in Shen Yuan's heart, but on the surface, he maintained a stern demeanor and chided coldly:

"Your duty is to guard the Mount Tai Palace. How could you disturb the Lord's slumber so lightly?"

Bull Head's thoughts were chaotic, his expression one of doubt. However, the aura and pantheon position of the Divinity Path Emperor were unmistakable.

Particularly within that grand and lofty phantom, Bull Head felt the same origin of the Great Netherworld Path as the Lord of Mount Tai, which added to his confusion.

After a long moment, Bull Head still bowed respectfully and answered:

"It is Your humble god's dereliction of duty."

He sensed the aura of Netherworld from Shen Yuan, but within the Netherworld, there were precious few Divinity Path Emperors, and Shen Yuan's aura did not belong to any of them.

On the contrary, he glimpsed shadows of the Lord of Mount Tai on Shen Yuan, but the problem was that the Lord of Mount Tai was currently in a deep sleep within the Mount Tai Palace.

Bull Head felt as if his understanding had skewed.

Thereafter, Bull Head mustered courage, his voice tentative as he gingerly lifted his head to ask:

"May I ask which Emperor you are..."

Shen Yuan cast a detached glance at Bull Head, sending a chill down his spine.

"Over a decade ago, the Divinity Path Supreme Emperor, Supreme Ruler of all immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court, the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor, fell into a bizarre slumber.

This slumber lasted just over a year. Coupled with the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor often sitting on his divine throne, traveling through various realms in spirit, the true nature behind it went unnoticed."

Bull Head's reflexes froze, then its face abruptly changed.

The sudden slumber... this state of the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor was exactly like the Lord of Mount Tai's!

Before Bull Head could speak, Shen Yuan continued:

"Several years ago, the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor fell into slumber once again. During this slumber, some Immortal Officials witnessed signs of the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor awakening, but ultimately he failed to come to.

During this period, the All-Worlds Luotian Convention was again convened, and the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor's pantheon position was taken by another, missing the chance to ascend to the Great Seat of Tao Achievement."

Bull Head was once again shaken, an unmistakable look of fright appearing on its face.

The second time Donghua Shaoyang Emperor fell into slumber, the timing was almost entirely consistent with that of the Lord of Mount Tai.

As for the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, he had heard of it, but the secrecy of the replacement of Donghua Shaoyang Emperor's pantheon position, the Tao Achievement's Great Seat, and so on, was something he had never caught wind of.

Bull Head instinctively wanted to doubt, yet the Great Tao's resonance somewhere in the depths of destiny told him that there wasn't a trace of falsehood in what Shen Yuan had said.

At this moment, Bull Head suddenly realized that if Donghua Shaoyang Emperor had fallen into a strange slumber as part of a special arrangement, could the same be true for the Lord of Mount Tai's slumber?

"Four years ago, Donghua Shaoyang Emperor entered into a strange slumber for the third time.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Someone traveled through the long river of history and glimpsed that Donghua Shaoyang Emperor would perish in a disaster thousands of years later."

Having said this, Shen Yuan's lips curled into a slight arc.

"The Lord of Mount Tai shall not escape the same fate!"

Each word fell like thunder, exploding in Bull Head's heart.

"How is that possible!"

"The Honorable Lord wields the authority of the Netherworld as the ruler of Netherworld, whereas Donghua Shaoyang Emperor sits above the assembly of immortals and divine beings as the Divinity Path Supreme Emperor.

Both Sovereigns are held in the highest esteem, having survived myriad calamities unscathed—how could they fall in disaster?"

Shen Yuan just quietly watched Bull Head, eyes filled with a tinge of pity, offering no response.

Bull Head's heart gradually sank to the abyss.

What Bull Head did not know, however, was that beneath the seemingly mysterious and indifferent surface of this Divinity Path Emperor, there was a sigh of relief in the depths of his heart.

"After throwing out a bunch of stuff, I finally managed to hoodwink Bull Head and prevent him from entering Mount Tai Palace."

Shen Yuan had mentioned these things only to distract Bull Head, to ensure he wouldn't consider Shen Yuan an enemy and start the Mount Tai Palace.

How many secrets this Highest Heaven palace held, Shen Yuan did not know, but he certainly would not want to experiment with his own body.

In fact, everything Shen Yuan had revealed was true, as fabricating falsehoods on the spot would not fool a Heavenly Immortal.

It's just that some of the information had no real connection. Shen Yuan simply pulled them together into one narrative—if Bull Head could imagine anything from it, that was not Shen Yuan's fault.

At this point, Bull Head's mind was in utter chaos, with the looming disaster of the emperors' downfall casting a shadow over his heart, making it hard to breathe.

Amidst the jumbled thoughts, a spark of spiritual light suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"The Netherworld Emperor before me is unheard of, yet possesses the same essence as the Honorable Lord, and he arrived at the dojo after the Honorable Lord fell into slumber.

Could it be... that he is the contingency left behind by the Honorable Lord, having known of the impending disaster ahead of time?"

In an instant, much of the confusion in Bull Head's mind dissipated.

If one were to follow this logic, then all the irrational behavior of Shen Yuan could be explained.

However, this matter ultimately involved the Highest Heaven Emperor, so Bull Head had to be extremely cautious.

Collecting his thoughts, Bull Head respectfully addressed Shen Yuan:

"May I inquire for the Emperor's honored name?"

Shen Yuan's brow furrowed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then replied:

"Fengdu."

As soon as the words "Fengdu" were uttered, the Netherworld Path that filled the air within Mount Tai Dojo seemed to resonate at that moment.

Within Mount Tai Palace, a divine light soared to the heavens, as if grand voices were incessantly chanting the name "Fengdu."

Shen Yuan could clearly sense that the broken Emperor Fengdu's incorporeal persona within his Spirit Soul was gradually becoming whole, and the Divinity Path network permeating heaven and earth was converging towards him.

But just then, Shen Yuan suddenly felt certain objects within his Square Inch World responding continuously to the name Fengdu.

Upon opening the Square Inch World, ten dark glows flew out from within and landed in Shen Yuan's palm.

As the glow dissipated, these ten objects turned out to be the Seal of Ten Yama Kings that Shen Yuan would seize after many millennia.

Bull Head also saw Yama's official seal in Shen Yuan's hands, with the unmistakable Netherworld Divine Path imprint that couldn't be faked.

With no more doubts in his heart, Bull Head knelt respectfully, proclaiming loudly:

"Your humble god, Bull Head, greets Emperor Fengdu!"
