766 Great Ultimate Principle (2)
Compared to the others who still needed to search the world for immortal qi, Jiang Shang had already taken the initiative. Once he broke through the immortal embryo, he would probably be invincible.
Behind him were the reincarnations of Immortals and Buddhas who had already made a name for themselves and stood at the peak of the continent of the Nine Provinces.
They had powerful strength and could sense the appearance of the immortal spiritual qi.
As long as they were lucky and found enough immortal qi in a short period of time, they might be able to directly break through to become immortals later on.
!!
It was impossible for them to be as strong as Jiang Ziya after he was born from Chaos.
However, if they could become immortals and find the immortal embryo in time to destroy it, it was still possible to complete the reversal.
After that were the strongest experts among the orthodox cultivators in the nine continents and the experts at the level of the three divine pillars.
However, their connection to the immortal spiritual qi was even more blurry. They needed to find some reincarnations of Immortals and Buddhas who, like Qiu Shui, had yet to start cultivating for some reason.
Through their guidance, they could successfully find the place where the immortal qi was born.
The cultivators below, even at the level of the twelve high-grade Divine Judgment forces, no longer had much chance.
This was because condensing the five qi in his chest was not so simple. Not only did it require time, but he also had to find five suitable and powerful qi to condense into his chest.
If it was so simple, they would not have been stuck at that realm for hundreds or thousands of years.
As for Jiang Li, his current situation was slightly awkward.
In terms of combat strength, he was already standing at the peak of the continent of the Nine Provinces.
However, his cultivation level was still at the Soul Formation realm after all. He was still quite far from becoming an immortal.
He had to break through as soon as possible.
Jiang Li let the two Hall Masters leave first to move around freely, hoping that they could bring back a few wisps of immortal spiritual qi.
Right now, the most important thing was to open the human holy land that he had been searching for a long time.
If he could not become an immortal in time, the Human Emperor’s status might help him deal with the Immortals and G.o.ds.
Previously, Jiang Shang had already scattered Jiang Li’s blood on this ordinary stone door.
The stone door opened a crack and light filled the sky.
Jiang Li stood in front of the stone door and leaned against the gap. He could vaguely see that there was a small stone room inside.
However, when he wanted his subordinates to push open the stone door, as if struck by lightning, they were sent flying far away.
Apart from Jiang Li, the successor of the Human Emperor, no one else could touch this stone door.
From the looks of it, the stone door only opened a crack. It should not have been neglected over the years and was stuck.
It was because the three ancestors deliberately wanted to test the strength of their descendants.
Jiang Li tried it. That gap was just enough to fit his finger.
He grabbed the gap with his fingers and gradually exerted strength on both sides.
Clearly, the three Human Emperors had considered the changes in the world. When testing their juniors, they did not use the standards of the Human Emperors of ancient times who could beat up Golden Immortals.
In terms of strength alone, Jiang Li was peerless in the current cultivation world of the Nine Provinces.
Without much obstruction, the stone door quickly creaked and was slowly pushed open by him.
What appeared in front of him was not the Fire Cloud Cave, but three simple stone platforms.
On the stone platform, the words “Heaven, Earth, and Human” were engraved.
The others did not dare to approach.
Jiang Li entered alone. After searching for a while, he quickly found three small grooves.
Needless to say, this was where the Human Emperor’s Token should be used.
First, Jiang Li took out a finger bone and placed it on the Earth stone platform.
It was the earliest Human Emperor’s token he had obtained. It came from the finger bone of the last Human Emperor, King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin.
Di Xin was a descendant of the Shennong lineage, so this was naturally the Earth Emperor’s token.
Sure enough, after the finger bone was placed down, a pillar of light immediately appeared on the stone platform.
The energy in the pillar of light made Jiang Li feel refreshed and very comfortable as if it faintly caused his Connate Human Body to undergo some changes.
Jiang Li cupped his hands and bowed to the stone platform.
“Descendant Jiang Li greets the Earth Emperor, Shennong!”
Then, he took out the sealed s.h.i.+eld.
There was still a thick yellow cloth wrapped around it. However, the current apricot yellow flag was no longer as powerful as before. It had become soft.
After enduring the anti-cultivation effect alone for so long and losing its master’s control, it did not have much strength left.
After using brute force to tear off the apricot yellow flag, Jiang Li carefully controlled the sealed s.h.i.+eld to open his eyes.
However, this time, the Anti-Cultivation Spiritual Bead did not spread the anti-cultivation domain indiscriminately.
In this stone room, some force made the violent Anti-Cultivation Spiritual Bead become docile.
Jiang Li tried to reach out and pull. It was unexpectedly easy, and he pulled out a blue eyeball from within.
This was the eyeball of the Drought Demon, daughter of Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. It was naturally the Heavenly Emperor’s token.
After placing it on the Heaven stone platform, another pillar of light rose.
The power in this pillar of light made Jiang Li’s mind and soul strengthen. Golden light flashed in his eyes, and it carried the dignity of an emperor.
“Descendant Jiang Li greets the Heavenly Emperor, Xuanyuan!”
Now, he only needed the last Human Emperor’s token.
Jiang Li looked out of the cave. Shenshan Qiuhua had already returned through the Gate of h.e.l.l.
“Senior Brother Jiang Li!”
The descendant of Nüwa, his childhood sweetheart, walked forward and took out a black Yin Stone.
A white Yang Stone appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.
As soon as they placed it in their hands, a suction force appeared between the two Yin-Yang Stones.
Following the suction force, the two of them slowly approached each other.
With a bang, the Yin-Yang Stones fused together, forming a complete stone resembling the Taiji symbol, also known as the Great Ultimate. The Yin-Yang circulation was perfect.
Legend had it that Human Emperor f.u.xi was the first to discover and study Taiji.
As the Great Ultimate of the Connate Five Greats, if one comprehended it to the depths, they could create heaven and earth with a single Taiji Painting.
Holding the Great Ultimate Stone, Jiang Li placed it on the Human Emperor’s Stone Platform.
Immediately, another pillar of light emerged.
The power within made the current successor of the Human Emperor automatically enter a daze.
Jiang Li had never cultivated a similar power system in the past.
However, this was a Great Ultimate Stone personally left behind by f.u.xi. Apart from the use of the token, it also contained the endless profundity of the Great Ultimate.
Jiang Li’s Seven-Colored Dao Body seemed insufficient in front of such profundity.
When his thoughts circulated to the limit, for the first time in his life, he entered a state of epiphany.
[Observing f.u.xi’s Great Ultimate Stone. Entering epiphany. Added Status: Epiphany (f.u.xi’s Great Ultimate)]
[Epiphany (f.u.xi’s Great Ultimate): Before the world was divided, essence and qi were fused as one. The Great Ultimate gave birth to Yin-Yang, which gave birth to the Four Symbols that produced the Eight Trigrams… Comprehending the Great Ultimate Principle. Duration: 99 seconds] (− +)
Jiang Li, who was immersed in the Great Ultimate Principle and was unable to extricate himself, forcefully diverted a trace of his attention and fixed this epiphany status on the interface.
Then, this epiphany lasted for three days and three nights. Yin and Yang spun endlessly in his eyes.
It was not until his understanding of the Great Ultimate Principle reached a certain level and his mental cultivation greatly increased that he barely resisted the temptation of epiphany and returned to his senses.
“As expected of the Connate Truth of the Chaos. It’s indeed extremely profound. If not for my epiphany, I wouldn’t have been able to learn anything even if I stared at this Great Ultimate Stone for 300 years.”
Jiang Li opened his palm, and a small black and white domain appeared on it.
It was the Great Ultimate Domain that he had just grasped. It could transform everything into nothingness.
This was only the tip of the iceberg.
It was still far from being able to separate heaven and earth.
However, with a permanent epiphany status, Jiang Li could continue to comprehend the Great Ultimate at any time. Sooner or later, he would be able to truly master it.
Putting this aside for the time being, he cupped his hands and bowed to the last stone platform.
“Descendant Jiang Li greets the Human Emperor, f.u.xi!”
The three tokens of the three emperors were returned.
The three pillars of light suddenly expanded together and enveloped Jiang Li who was caught off guard.
In the next moment, he disappeared on the spot.
