At this moment, Haotian was completely different in Jiang Chen's eyes. He truly had the demeanor of a heavenly emperor who looked down upon the world and spanned the ages.
The opportunity for enlightenment is right in front of us, within reach, but Haotian refuses to take it. How many people in the wild can match this ambition and such heroic spirit?
That is an opportunity to become enlightened. After a normal person gets it, who would give it up easily? At the very least, Jiang Chen believed that if the opportunity to become enlightened was presented to him, he would never give up.
How can one refuse such temptation?
But Haotian can!
Perhaps, this is what makes him extraordinary and why Taozu chose him as the Emperor of Heaven.
At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly discovered that people in the world had too many misunderstandings about Haotian.
In the eyes of those with great supernatural powers, Haotian was just a boy next to Dao Ancestor. It was only with good luck that he became the Great Emperor of Heaven.
As for ability, how much ability can a Heavenly Emperor have who can be killed by a great witch? It’s hard to compare with my generation.
But is this really the case? Is a being who can resist the temptation of enlightenment and must walk his own path really as unbearable as the rumors say?
You know, Haotian's mind alone can defeat many people with great supernatural powers. Before being tempted by enlightenment, you can still stick to your original intention without moving even an inch. This is such a firm Taoist heart.
The further you go in cultivation, the more you need a firm Taoist heart. If the Taoist mind is not stable, it will be difficult to achieve anything. Only those with a firm mind can achieve the supreme path.
The strength of Haotian's Taoist heart is never inferior to that of any strong person in the world, and is even better than that of any strong person in the world. This is a quality that an extremely strong person must have. From a Taoist perspective, Haotian's cultivation is absolutely very powerful.
Moreover, how important is the position of Emperor of Heaven? That is the face of the prehistoric world!
If Haotian had no real ability, how could Daozu choose him as the Emperor of Heaven? If an incompetent person comes to power, even if Tao Ancestor agrees, Heavenly Dao will not agree.
Haotian, also known as the Jade Emperor, is not as simple as he seems on the surface. There may even be another reason why he was killed by the great witch Xingtian.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Jade Emperor to talk about what happened back then: "In order to achieve enlightenment, I did not hesitate to borrow Xingtian's hand to break open my chaotic divine body, and then reincarnated and rebuilt it. After experiencing endless tribulations, I prepared for the end of the catastrophe. In the middle, you can cultivate a body that will last through all tribulations, thus breaking into the realm of Hunyuan in one fell swoop.”
"However, the changes in the ancient world were too fast. After several turmoils, the Xuanmen Heavenly Emperor fell. The gods had no choice but to forcefully call me back and regain the throne of the Heavenly Emperor."
Speaking of this, a look of regret appeared on the Jade Emperor's face: "Hey, it's a pity that I was forcibly recalled before my merits were fully completed, so that I was lacking in Taoism and could not achieve the realm of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian in one go."
"The success falls short!"
It is conceivable how helpless the Jade Emperor was at that time. He was about to become enlightened, but was interrupted by an accident. He was so bad-tempered that he might have vomited blood on the spot and become seriously ill.
However, the Jade Emperor has a firm heart, and even if he loses his temper, he can quickly adjust himself. However, it is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart.
This is the hatred of blocking the way. I am afraid that the Jade Emperor already hates the gods who called him back.
After glancing at it, the Jade Emperor continued: "You are that Supreme Saint, why did you leave an incarnation in the heaven to make elixirs for me? Do you really think you are conferring gods to measure calamity?
"That's really a joke. They teach only one disciple, Xuandu. Who dares to let Xuandu be on the list? Isn't this going to destroy the orthodoxy of Taiqing Saint?"
"The saint sent the incarnation of Taishang Laojun into the heaven, which is Xuanmen's compensation for the widow. The gods joined forces to provide the innate elixir for refining the eternal golden elixir, and then Taishang Laojun refined it into an elixir to make up for it. My Dao foundation helps me cultivate to the realm of Hunyuan."
At this moment, Jiang Chen was shocked to the point of numbness, but he did not expect that so many things would happen to Haotian.
In order to seek enlightenment, he would not hesitate to throw away the chaotic divine body that he had been honing for many years, reincarnate for eternity, and survive countless tribulations. This determination is truly worthy of a person who can refuse the temptation of enlightenment.
Cruel enough!
For a moment, Jiang Chen silently regarded the Jade Emperor as someone who could never be offended. This kind of person is so cruel that he can be so cruel to himself, let alone an outsider.
If you really offend the Jade Emperor and he remembers it in his heart, then the life in the future will be difficult, and you don't know how you died.
However, Haotian's death was actually done intentionally by him. Some people found this a bit surprising, but also felt it was a bit natural.
The great witch Xingtian is known as the first warrior of the witch clan and the first witch among the twelve ancestral witches. He is so powerful that no other quasi-sage can match him, and his strength is close to that of a person with great supernatural powers.
There is no doubt that Xing Tian is strong, but to say that he is strong enough to kill Haotian is a stretch.
What kind of person is the Emperor of Heaven? With the luck of heaven and earth, it can be said that even a mortal sitting in the position of Emperor of Heaven can explode with strength that is comparable to those with great supernatural powers.
Not to mention Haotian, who is already a great supernatural power user. He is sitting in that position, blessed by the power of heaven and earth. Even a saint can fight with him. How could he be killed by Xing Tian, who is not as powerful as a great supernatural power user? kill?
If it was done intentionally, it would be easy to understand.
Haotian was transformed into Chaos Jade, and its body is extremely strong. Even if it is not as good as the innate treasure, it is not inferior to the best innate spiritual treasure.
It is not easy to break his body.
As for Xingtian's Xingtian Ax, it is Xingtian's accompanying spiritual treasure and ranks among the best. It is made from a blade of Pangu's axe. It is extremely sharp and is said to be able to cut through all treasures.
Under Xing Tian's full blow, if the Jade Emperor didn't defend himself, it would be normal for his body to be shattered. With his body broken, the Jade Emperor's soul was able to escape from the cage and gain freedom, thus escaping into reincarnation and beginning his own path to enlightenment through calamities.
The Jade Emperor's idea was good, but unfortunately he was unlucky. His path to enlightenment was forcibly interrupted before he could complete it.
This experience was miserable enough.
Although the Xuanmen gods also compensated the Jade Emperor afterwards, it seems that the effect is only average because the Jade Emperor has not yet become enlightened.
It is really sad that the Golden Elixir of Ten Thousand Tribulations has such an origin. In the past, Jiang Chen was a little envious when he saw that the Jade Emperor could take the Golden Pill of Ten Thousand Tribulations every day.
But now, it won't happen anymore.
Although this Golden Elixir of Ten Thousand Tribulations is good, it was obtained by the Jade Emperor with the opportunity to become enlightened. It is estimated that when the Jade Emperor took the Golden Elixir of Ten Thousand Tribulations, the bitterness in his heart rolled over like a wave, causing him to suffer.
But the more this happens, the more it shows how powerful the Jade Emperor is.
His path to enlightenment was interrupted, and such a blow failed to knock him down. Instead, it made him deeper and deeper. His Taoist heart was truly terrifyingly tenacious.
Such people are the ones who do great things.
Sure enough, no one who can become the Emperor of Heaven is a simple figure. If the Jade Emperor is so forbearing, his plot must be huge.
He is as good as the emperor to prove to the world that he, Haotian, ascended to the position of Emperor of Heaven by his own ability, rather than relying on the relationship with Tao Ancestor.
He has a great heart, but the result of doing so will definitely conflict with the saint in the end.
After a saint has ruled the world for many years, how can he be willing to have an emperor-like figure appear in the Three Realms? The saint would definitely not want to, so once Haotian had the idea of rising, he would definitely be suppressed by the saint's joint efforts.
Jiang Chen thought that if the Jade Emperor was so forbearing, he might not mean to paralyze the saint.
However, this has nothing to do with him.
Jiang Chen said that he did not want to get involved in the fight between the Jade Emperor and the Saint.
Jiang Chen didn't know whether the Jade Emperor could defeat the Sage, but he was certain that no matter how big the trouble was, nothing would happen to the Sage and Haotian. But most of the people involved will not end well.
Therefore, Jiang Chen decided that after this incident, he would try to establish a clear relationship with the Jade Emperor to avoid being involved in this dispute between imperial power and holy power.
…
Xu Shi hadn't spoken like this for a long time. After confiding his feelings to Jiang Chen, the Jade Emperor's spirit also relaxed, and his temperament also changed accordingly, making him more approachable.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen silently distanced himself from the Jade Emperor, and secretly complained in his heart: He is worthy of becoming the Emperor of Heaven, this method is really sinister.
The change in the Jade Emperor's temperament should be a magical power that can make people close to him, believe in him, and finally be impressed by him. The closer you are to him, the greater the impact.
This kind of magical power is considered the standard equipment of emperors. According to the inheritance of Emperor Xi, this magical power originated from Emperor Jun.
Emperor Jun was a born emperor, born with such great majesty that no one dared to look directly at him. But in order to express his closeness to his subordinates, Di Jun developed this magical power to restrain his dignity.
Well, that was indeed the purpose at the beginning, but later on, somehow it developed, and the nature of this magical power changed, affecting others unknowingly.
Anyway, to this day, this kind of magical power has basically become the standard equipment for those in high positions. Almost every high-ranking person will use it, either to win people's hearts or to show their closeness.
In short, this magical power is more for show than substantive.
But since the magical power was exerted by the Jade Emperor, its power cannot be taken lightly. There is no guarantee that Jiang Chen would be affected by the Jade Emperor without paying attention. Therefore, it is better to quietly distance yourself.
However, the Jade Emperor's magical powers are still not as good as the Emperor's.
According to the legend of Emperor Xi, when Emperor Jun was talking to people, his aura emanated from him. Even the innate Taoist Master was attracted by the hero and subconsciously felt close to him.
Emperor Xi once praised Emperor Jun. He was indeed a born emperor with heart-wrenching power.
Just as the Jade Emperor said, Emperor Jun is the Great Luo Jinxian of Hunyuan. Not only him, but also Donghuang Taiyi and Space Ancestor Wu Dijiang are both Hunyuan level masters.
If there is no supreme powerhouse at the Hunyuan level, how can the two Lich clans frighten the saints? I dare not compete with them for the dominance of heaven and earth.
It is precisely because both tribes have supremely powerful men in charge that no one dares to kill them all. In today's world, the demon clan is in decline, and no one dares to take action to destroy the demon clan, just because they are afraid of Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun.
Although these two people are dead, everyone knows that Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is immortal. At least, there is no power in the world to completely kill Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
To them, death is nothing more than a deep sleep. Therefore, the two of them seemed to have fallen, but in fact they just fell into a deep sleep. Maybe one day when the heaven and earth changed, the two of them would wake up from their deep sleep and return to the world again.
In this case, if anyone destroys the demon clan, what awaits him is the crazy revenge of Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun. In this case, who dares to destroy the demon clan? At best, it's just suppression.
…
The Jade Emperor's words seemed to be expressing his true feelings to Jiang Chen, but in fact, they were more like expressing the depression that had been accumulated in his heart for many years.
Now that he had finished speaking, the Jade Emperor felt that all the depression in his heart had been swept away, and his mood had improved a lot. At this point, he no longer chatted with Jiang Chen, but concentrated on his way.
As for Jiang Chen, seeing that the Jade Emperor was silent, he would naturally not stop talking. He really regrets it now. If he had known that the Jade Emperor would tell him this, he would not have come to this trip to the Five Elements Secret Realm.
Jiang Chen is now really afraid that the Jade Emperor will act impulsively and kill him directly, and throw him into the chaos outside the sky, and then everything will be over.
……………
………………………
They were silent all the way, and they didn't know how long they had been walking. Suddenly, they saw a ray of light suddenly appearing in the eternal darkness of the outer chaos ahead.
It was a ray of five-color divine light, unusually conspicuous in the dark chaos.
When he got closer, Jiang Chen also saw what the glowing object was. It was a huge five-color light group, floating in the chaos, with five-color brilliance flowing endlessly around it.
"What a rich innate essence of the five elements!"
Seeing this, Jiang Chen knew that the purpose of his trip had arrived. In the chaos outside the world, only the Five Elements Secret Realm left by Dao Ancestor could exude the powerful power of the Five Elements.
Sure enough, in front of the Five Elements Light Group, the Jade Emperor stopped and said to Jiang Chen and others: "The Five Elements Secret Realm has arrived. As long as you enter this light group, you will be transported to the Five Elements Secret Realm."
At this point, the Jade Emperor turned to Jiang Chen and warned: "Jiang Chen, due to my oath, I am not allowed to touch the Five Elements Secret Realm, so Tianshou and the others will ask you to take care of them during this trip to the secret realm."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen quickly promised: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that as long as Jiang Chen is fine, he will definitely protect the seven princesses."
"Yes." Nodding, the Jade Emperor seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang Chen's attitude and began to tell him about the situation in the secret realm: "This secret realm has been refined by the teacher a long time ago. Even if there were any dangerous places before, there are none now. "
"Moreover, subject to the teacher's magical power, although the origin of this Five Elements Secret Realm is strong, it cannot give birth to a Taoist-level existence. With your current strength, if you enter it, it will not be difficult to escape even if you encounter any danger."
"So, you have nothing to worry about."
"I can tell you the truth, this trip to the Five Elements Secret Realm is an opportunity for you to gain opportunities. If Tianshou and the others were not too weak, how could such a good thing happen to you?"
When the Jade Emperor said this, Jiang Chen understood everything.
This Five Elements Secret Realm is not dangerous to him, but it is full of dangers to the Seven Fairies. The Jade Emperor was worried about his daughter coming here, so he hired Jiang Chen, a master who could control the Five Elements Secret Realm, to be his daughter's bodyguard.
In this way, the Jade Emperor can rest assured. However, by doing so, Jiang Chen got an advantage for nothing and allowed him to take such a big opportunity for nothing.
The Jade Emperor said, I gave you this opportunity for free. If Jiang Chen still doesn't know the way and doesn't know how to answer, then his life will be in vain, so he quickly said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to help the seven princesses obtain the treasure in the secret realm. I just don't know what the treasure is? Can you tell me?"
To be honest, Jiang Chen was really curious as to what treasure the Jade Emperor wanted the Seventh Princess to retrieve. Think about it, as the Jade Emperor, what kind of treasures does he not have? The Seventh Princess was actually asked to take the risk to search for this Five Elements Secret Realm.
It can be seen that this treasure is either extremely precious or extremely special and can only be found in the Five Elements Secret Realm.
The Jade Emperor did not hide anything, and said directly: "There is nothing to say, anyway, you will see it with your own eyes when the time comes."
"In the center of the secret realm, there is a purple energy, which contains the exquisite creation of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. It is the power of heaven left by the teacher back then and the origin of the Five Elements Demon God. It is mysterious and unpredictable."
"What you have to do is to help Tianshou and the others get there and ensure their safety while they collect the purple energy."
Charge, guaranteed!
Jiang Chen extracted the key point of the Jade Emperor's words. He was afraid that something might happen when the Seven Fairies collected the purple energy, so the Jade Emperor asked him to protect the Seven Fairies at that time.
Nodding, Jiang Chen finally agreed: "Jiang Chen will do his best!"
Unexpectedly, at this time the Jade Emperor shook his head and said: "It's not about trying your best, but about being certain."
"Jiang Chen, I don't care what method you use, you must help Tianshou and the others get that purple energy."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned and was about to say something, but the Jade Emperor continued without waiting for him to speak: "I also know that my request is too much, but this thing is extremely important to Tianshou and the others, and it matters a lot. Can we achieve enlightenment in the future?"
"I am not ordering you as the Emperor of Heaven, but as a father, asking for your help!"
"Of course, I know this is difficult, so I won't let your help go in vain. I can tell you about the whereabouts of the opportunity in the Five Elements Secret Realm."
Jiang Chen is an extremely realistic person. Originally, he thought the Jade Emperor's request was a bit excessive, but after hearing the benefits, his mentality immediately changed.
He felt that although the Jade Emperor's request was excessive, it contained an old father's concern for his daughters, which was really touching. Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to help the Jade Emperor.
He is almost ready to break through.
If he goes one step further in the Five Elements Secret Realm and reaches the realm of blood rebirth. Thinking about it, he should be able to be more calm in the secret realm, and it would be much easier to help the Seven Fairies obtain treasures.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was a little tempted, the Jade Emperor struck while the iron was hot and said: "When the teacher was creating the Five Elements Secret Realm, he left six nodes in the innate Five Elements Formation."
"Of these six nodes, one is located in the center, symbolizing the five elements. The other five are separated in the five directions, symbolizing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
ps: The road to success will never end.
