Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
Divine Firmament Palace.
Originally, there was only one master, Immortal Emperor Divine Firmament.
However, over the years, Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight unified the Nine Firmament and was conferred the t.i.tle of Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament. This Divine Firmament Palace became one of Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament’s palaces.
In the empty Divine Firmament Hall, there were only two figures sitting opposite each other. There was a peachwood square table in the middle with two steaming cups of fragrant tea placed on it.
Without Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament’s permission, even Immortal Emperor Divine Firmament could not step into this hall!
One of the two figures was Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament, who had become famous over the years.
The other person had black hair and purple robes and wore a silver mask. His eyes were as deep as the sea-it was the Martial Dao Prime Body!
When he first arrived, Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament seemed to have been waiting for a long time and had brewed fragrant tea.
“Try it.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament smiled and pushed a teacup slowly towards the Martial Dao Prime Body. “This tea is not bad.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body raised his cup and placed it under his nose. He sniffed gently before downing it in one gulp.
The Martial Dao Prime Body put down his teacup and looked at Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament. “How should I address you? Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight? Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament? Emperor Bo Xun? Heavenly Lord Six Brahma? Fiend Emperor Apocalypse? Or… Great Emperor Heaven Burial?”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament chuckled. “Looks like you’ve already guessed it.”
Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight, Emperor Bo Xun and Fiend Emperor Apocalypse borrowed the power of the Emperor’s Tomb to revive. This means that they have all cultivated the Heaven Burial Sutra.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “Or rather, they awakened some memories and comprehended the Heaven Burial Sutra.”
Back then, the reason why the Green Lotus True Body could revive in the Emperor’s Tomb was because of the Heaven Burial Sutra.
At that time, he had already guessed that Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight, Emperor Bo Xun and Fiend Emperor Apocalypse were closely related to Great Emperor Heaven Burial.
As for Emperor Bo Xun, who was the current Heavenly Lord Six Brahma, there were also signs of him doing the same early on.
Back in the battle at Builder Tree Mountain Range, Su Zimo had already noticed something!
After Emperor Bo Xun revived, he suddenly vanished without a trace.
As for Heavenly Lord Six Brahma of the Buddhist monasteries, he suddenly rose and gathered a large number of Buddhist disciples with his profound Dharmic Dao.
Emperor Bo Xun had a Buddha and Fiend Body. His comprehension of Buddhism was definitely not inferior to any Emperors of the Buddhist monasteries.
This time round, he revived and experienced life and death. His Dharmic Dao improved further and he even surpa.s.sed the Emperors of the Buddhist monasteries!
Only Emperor Bo Xun had such methods to unify the Pure Land of Bliss in such
a short period of time without any bloodshed!
Back in the conversation with the Fiend Lord outside the Great Wilderness World, the Fiend Lord had also indirectly confirmed his guess.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “In the lower worlds, Blood Fiend obtained your Three Corpses Technique and once cultivated three Immortal, Buddha and Demon Bodies. Emperor Bo Xun once cultivated the Buddha Body, the Six Desires Body and the Seven Emotions Body. Although they were also three bodies, their intents were even more superior.”
“I’m a little curious. What are your three bodies?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body had once speculated that Great Emperor Heaven Burial’s Three Corpses Technique might be Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight, Buddha Bo Xun and Fiend Emperor Apocalypse.
However, these three bodies were similar to Blood Fiend’s comprehension of the Three Corpses Technique. In terms of intent, they were inferior to Emperor Bo Xun’s Three Corpses.
“It’s only natural that their comprehension of the Three Corpses Technique is far inferior to mine.1‘
When Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament mentioned that, a hint of pride flashed through his eyes. “After cultivating for several eras, we comprehended the ultimate meaning of the Three Corpses Technique. The Three Corpses shall be severed from myself into the Good Corpse, Evil Corpse and Self Corpse respectively!”
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and gradually came to a realization.
In terms of intent alone, severing good, evil and self was indeed far superior to
the Three Corpses Technique of Blood Fiend and Emperor Bo Xun.
The so-called Good Corpse was actually the original Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight.
Before he revived and awakened the memories of Great Emperor Heaven Burial, Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight was indeed a member of the righteous path. He killed demons and fiends and hated evil.
It was precisely because of this that Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight had two completely different states in the Emperor’s Tomb.
Before his memories were completely awakened, the last bit of kindness he retained imparted the Dharmic Dao of the Dawn Bell and Twilight Drum to Su Zimo and persuaded him to leave the medium chiliocosm.
As for the Evil Corpse, it was naturally Fiend Emperor Apocalypse whose heart was filled with destruction and killing!
The so-called Self referred to his personal obsessions.
The Self Corpse could also be called the Obsession Corpse.
The Self Corpse that was severed out by Great Emperor Heaven Burial was none other than Emperor Bo Xun!
It was precisely because of this that he could create the Fiend Obsession Buddha Karmic Sutra.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “You severed the three corpses and allowed them to cultivate in the medium chiliocosm independently. Before their memories were awakened, any one of the corpses would be self-contained and have their own consciousnesses.”
“In a sense, the Three Corpses are complete lifeforms. They all have a chance to take the final step and become Great Emperors as well!”
“That’s right.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament nodded. “However, the Three Corpses encountered different bottlenecks in this generation and could not break through. I could only choose another path. To let them die, awaken their memories and revive thereafter.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “In other words, the deaths of the Three
Corpses in their previous lives were inevitable and caused by you.”
“Of course.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament smiled. “Otherwise, how could they have
died in the Great Emperor Tombs so coincidentally?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body recalled something else. “So, Sword Emperor
Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng died in vain back then.”
Back in the battle of Great Tie Wei Mountain, Emperor Bo Xun was besieged by
20 Emperor experts. There, Sword Emperor Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng died and Emperor Bo Xun died in Avici.
How could Sword Emperor Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng have known that the close friend he had known his entire life and saved with his life was only one of the Three Corpses of Great Emperor Heaven Burial?
Regardless of whether he attacked or not, Emperor Bo Xun’s death was inevitable.
At the mention of Sword Emperor Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng, there was no fluctuation on Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament’s face.
The Martial Dao Prime Body was not surprised by that either.
The person in front of him was Great Emperor Heaven Burial. The death of
Sword Emperor Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng was nothing to him.
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled meaningfully. “Actually, before you, there was another person who guessed my ident.i.ty.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and asked, “The Sect
Master of the Academy?”
“Smart!”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament clapped and smiled. “The Sect Master of
the Academy is a smart and interesting person.”
“He’s also an ambitious person.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said.
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament did not deny it and smiled. “He took the initiative to look for me and raised a possibility. You’ll definitely not be able to guess it.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent.
Indeed, he could not guess what the Sect Master of the Academy wanted to do.
“He wanted to cooperate with me!”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament burst into laughter.
The Martial Dao Prime Body sneered and asked, “And someone like you would cooperate with him?”
There was a huge difference in status between the two parties.
The fact that the Sect Master of the Academy dared to raise this matter was indeed beyond the expectations of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
With Great Emperor Heaven Burial’s methods, it was as easy as flipping his palm if he wanted to control the Sect Master of the Academy!
“Initially, I did not care indeed.”
Immortal Emperor Nine Firmament smiled. “However, this Sect Master of the
Academy was too interesting. I couldn’t bear to attack him. In fact, I was even looking forward to our cooperation!”
