Chapter 2063: Become the Enemy of the World

The submission of Mythical Huang Dao Court helped the title of Heavenly Emperor Shi spread at a terrifying speed and became known to countless cultivators in the world.

The former Nameless Esteemed Emperor who controlled the taboo law power was extremely mysterious—He did not even have a title and he had rarely shown his face in the Ancient Nebula Road in the countless years he ruled over the starry sky.

Only some old antiques from powerful forces knew about his existence.

However, the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Shi, was completely different. Not only was he overbearing and domineering, but he also showed no care about any repercussions of his actions. Upon arrival in the Ancient Nebula Road, he immediately displayed his absolute power and ability, striking fear across the world!

Similarly, the submission of Mythical Huang Dao Court also caused a sudden shift in the world. Countless major forces were filled with unease and anxiousness, and their hearts were heavy with worry.

Many people even started to voice their complaints about Combat Emperor and the others of Fangchun Mountain.

This was because although the previous Nameless Esteemed Emperor was defeated, the root cause of the problem, the taboo law power had yet to be eradicated.

Now that Heavenly Emperor Shi arrived, the Ancient Nebula Road was plunged into an unprecedented situation.

With such a comparison, many people subconsciously believed that if the previous Nameless Esteemed Emperor were still around, there would not have been such a huge and unsettling shift in circumstances.

But no matter what, everyone realized that following the grand arrival of Heavenly Emperor Shi, the world would eventually undergo unpredictable changes...

Sure enough—On the second day after Mythical Huang Dao Court submitted, Heaven and Earth Dao Court in the Primordial Chaos World also announced its submission to Heavenly Emperor Shi!

Soon after that, the Panwu Dao Court, Primordial Dao Court and All-Demon Dao Court also successively expressed their stance in assisting Heavenly Emperor Shi in maintaining order in the starry sky!

Afterwards, the Great Ten Battle Clans including Heavenly Ghost, Taowu, Blood Qilin, Red Sun, Qiongqi, and Blackwater, as well as many ancient imperial clans, also expressed their stance and submission to Heavenly Emperor Shi one after another.

All of a sudden, the Primordial Chaos World, and even the entire Ancient Nebula Road, was in turmoil because of these explosive pieces of news.

Heavenly Emperor Shi!

This name had become the ultimate existence in the hearts of countless cultivators, just like a god who solely ruled the heavens!

“Since ancient times, when has such a thing ever happened? They...they are all top clans and sects in the world, but they willingly became slaves to Heavenly Emperor Shi!”

Endless voices filled with grief and outrage rang out.

“The taboo law power has been blocking our path of seeking the dao. It should have been our shared enemy, but…even the Great Dao Courts have bowed their heads to it…”

“From now on, can we escape the fate of being enslaved?”

“I hope...that Combat Emperor will return to kill again… In this world, likely only the disciples of Fangchun Mountain dare to go against Heavenly Emperor Shi, right?”

“This is no doubt going to be a period of shame, but unfortunately...born and raised here, we are fated to be unable to escape it.”

Sighs, sorrowful, grief-stricken and angry cries filled the starry sky.

Everyone knew that, as long as Heavenly Emperor Shi lived, the haze over the Ancient Nebula Road would never be lifted!

The news of Heavenly Emperor Shi’s arrival in the Ancient Nebula Road also quickly spread to the Ancient Nebula Underworld, and similarly provoked waves of chaos for a while.

On the third day after Heavenly Emperor Shi gained control of the taboo law power, he issued his first order:

“I command the world, hunt down Fangchun Mountain disciple Lin Xun! Capture him dead or alive, and anyone who dares to shelter him will have their entire clan eradicated!”

That order was simple and direct, yet full of murderous intent.

The whole world was shaken once again. Everyone knew that this was revenge against Fangchun Mountain!

“It’s over for Lin Xun...” When the command was given, everyone’s reaction was strangely unanimous.

In this world under the rule of Heavenly Emperor Shi, no matter where Lin Xun fled, he had no chance of survival.

He would find himself becoming an enemy of the entire world!

However, while the world was in turmoil, Heavenly Emperor Shi Tian seemed to have vanished. He was never seen again, nor did anyone know where he had gone.

……

Dark Night Star Field.

On a boundary ship, in a courtyard, in a room.

Lin Xun was meditating in a cross-legged position.

The most mysterious thing was that, sitting beside him was another Lin Xun who was dressed in green and also meditating.

Before long, when the green-clothed Lin Xun opened his eyes, they revealed visions of the wither and thrive of all things, and the flow of life and death, which made them look particularly frightening.

Almost at the same time, Lin Xun also opened his eyes, and when their gazes met in mid-air, a wonderful feeling arose in both of their hearts.

The feeling was identical, without the slightest difference.

“Interesting.”

Lin Xun and green-clothed Lin Xun smiled at the same time; even their smiles were exactly the same.

This green-clothed Lin Xun was his Green Wood Dao Body!

However, unlike before, his Green Wood Dao Body now possessed consciousness and cultivation, allowing it to cultivate and battle independently!

Of course, the consciousness of his Green Wood Dao Body was still Lin Xun’s consciousness. Even if it was independently controlled by his Green Wood Dao Body, Lin Xun was still able to take complete control over his dao body with just one thought.

For example, a branch grew out of a towering tree, but the branch was still connected to the trunk.

“From today on, you will focus on practicing the Great Treasury Silent Scripture, Green Lotus Grotto Art, and Sky Repairing Art...”

With just a thought, he channeled the many inheritance powers within his body and passed them on to Green Wood Dao Body through his consciousness.

At the same time, Lin Xun gave the Dao Emptiness Plate to the Green Wood Dao Body.

This was an incredible Emperor weapon of Kunlun. By utilizing the power of this treasure, one could greatly accelerate their comprehension of the art and in tempering their cultivation.

After this, Green Wood Dao Body turned into a green cloud and returned to the liver chamber of Lin Xun’s body, where he sat cross-legged and went right into training.

Lin Xun revealed a satisfied grin.

This was the wonders of the Five Virtues Stage of the Grand Dao Yellow Court Classic.

One was able to create a dao body that possessed consciousness and cultivation by just using one’s spirit and cultivation as the foundation. Although it was an independent existence from the original body, everything the dao body possessed, whether it was its training or dao comprehension, was controlled by the original body.

“Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that the Green Wood Dao Body has formed its own consciousness and cultivation, it is equivalent to stepping into the world of the Five Virtues Stage. Next, I should not need to spend so much effort to condense the other dao bodies...”

Lin Xun counted the days and realized that it had taken him about three months to condense the consciousness and cultivation of the Green Wood Dao Body.

However, now that he had the help of the Green Wood Dao Body in comprehending the dao in the future, he reckoned that he would only need half the time when condensing the consciousness and cultivation of the next dao body!

“My own combat ability is already enough to deal with an injured Sword Emperor Hunkong, who only has half of his strength remaining. If I have the help of the Green Wood Dao Body too, I will definitely be even stronger.” Lin Xun pondered.

In the period leading up to this, Xi would often appear and ‘practice’ with him.

Although he was still only enduring a beating every time, his strength had skyrocketed and his cultivation had also progressed steadily.

Now, he was only one step away from the perfect second level of the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage!

A few days ago, when he sparred with Sword Emperor Hunkong who was suppressed in the Dao Endless Pagoda, he distinctly felt the changes in his own strength.

It was no exaggeration to say that he no longer considered quasi-Emperors, or even supreme quasi-Emperors, as significant. He had set his sights on those at the Emperor Stage!

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Moreover, he had a strong premonition.

The more dao bodies with consciousness he formed, the faster his cultivation would improve!

A person had limited energy. He had to not only temper his cultivation, comprehend the dao, study his dao scriptures and also refine his arts…

In addition, he had to deal with and resolve the various difficulties and obstacles he encountered on his cultivation path.

Clearly, immense effort and time were needed to achieve all of this. This was also the key reason why those of a higher cultivation level took longer to break through to the next stage.

However, if the task of raising one’s cultivation was divided among five clones, how could the progress possibly be slow?

In the midst of thinking, Lin Xun thought of Xi.

A few days ago, the taboo law power that shrouded the world underwent a tremendous change and was taken control by the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor. On that day, Xi returned to the Omega Secret-Realm and lay in wait.

This also freed Lin Xun from the beating-like practice sessions that he had with her.

However, the absence of that kind of extreme pressure and training was hard for him to adjust to, as if something was missing.

“It seems like you come to like the feeling of taking a beating.”

Yezi, who had been quietly concealed in Lin Xun’s hair, suddenly said aloud, “If you need me, I can also be your sparring partner.”

Lin Xun said irritably, “I don’t like taking a beating, I was just improving my strength!”

“That Yanxing still has not appeared, but the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor has descended upon the world. Lin Xun, you have to be careful.”

He then added, “Danger can strike at any moment!”

Lin Xun felt a chill in his heart.

Having been traveling on a boundary ship across the chaotic and turbulent Dark Night Sky Field, he knew little about what was happening in the outside world.

However, without thinking, he already knew that when the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor appeared, he would definitely not spare him, a disciple of Fangchun Mountain!

Moreover, his identity was not just simply a disciple of Fangchun Mountain. His background and the Omega Secret-Realm that he possessed would also bring him great danger.

He glanced at the Bodhi tree seeding, glowing with a blue-green hue, hazy like smoke.

“No matter how powerful the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor is, as long as I have this Bodhi tree seedling, I can at least avoid being detected by the taboo law power.” He murmured, “What I am most worried about now is the woman called Yanxing.”

He suddenly raised his head and looked outside the courtyard.

At the same time, someone knocked on the courtyard door three times, and the voice of the fierce middle-aged man from Fog Obscured Alms sounded from outside the courtyard:

“Senior, in about a quarter of an hour, the ship will steer into a starry sky vortex that leads to the Ancient Nebula Underworld. When that happens, the ship will face the destructive force caused by the violent fluctuations in the fabric of space and time. I just came to reassure you not to worry.”

Only then did Lin Xun realize that, after nearly two months of crossing the starry sky, this boundary ship was about to reach the Ancient Nebula Underworld.
