Chapter 1197

The boy trembled in fear at Fang Wen's actions. He hugged Gu Chen's thigh tightly, not daring to let go.

"Uncle, is what he said true? Did I harm you guys? "

The boy asked in a low voice. His big eyes were filled with fear.

Under such a situation, Gu Chen calmly smiled at the boy. "Of course not. You have nothing to do with this."

Zuo Chunqiu, Ghost Emperor, Li Shunyu, and Tang Ning were all silent. Fang Wen's words had moved them. Everything might have happened because of this boy. If they killed him, they might really have a way out.

"He's just a mortal child. What's the difference between him and an ant? What's the point of protecting him?

Could it be that his life or death is more important than yours? "

Fang Wen was overbearing. He only wanted to kill the boy in front of him to see if he could get out of this predicament.

"So what if he's a mortal?"

Gu Chen looked at the boy's panicked face and fell into deep thought.

"Do you guys know that the Heavenly Emperor was just a mortal back then? He relied on his tenacity and unyieldingness to reach the Heavenly Emperor Realm."

Gu Chen recalled what the little guy did in the Valley of Time when he faced Xiaolong's extraordinary talent.

The Heavenly Emperor wasn't discouraged despite the difference in bloodline. He forcefully cultivated from a mortal body to an emperor body, all the way to the Nine Heavens.

Wasn't the predicament that the Heavenly Emperor faced in the past, the restriction of his bloodline, similar to this scene of despair?

An idea suddenly flashed through Gu Chen's mind.

"Hundreds of millions of checkpoints and the undying bodies of six Immortal Emperors. It's just to force people into desperate straits.

"It's just like how the Heavenly Emperor faced the restriction of his bloodline. He wanted to show that even a mortal body can be invincible.

"This is both a tempering and a test. What the Heavenly Emperor wants is someone who doesn't believe in heresy …"

Gu Chen's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He held the boy's hand and the vast power of time engulfed him and the boy.

Zuo Chunqiu, Fang Wen, and the rest were repelled by the power of time. They looked at Gu Chen in shock.

"If you're the Heavenly Emperor, then show me."

Gu Chen looked at the little boy and smiled. The power of time gently enveloped the two of them.

The little boy looked at Gu Chen, and the fear on his face suddenly disappeared. The corners of his mouth curled up.

Under the influence of the power of time, his mortal body grew at an astonishing speed.

In front of him, the shadow of the future self appeared!

The little boy was me, the ordinary and unremarkable childhood of the Celestial Emperor.

He was as frail as a weed. Anyone could ignore him, and they could easily break him.

However, the power of time was great, and a person's faith was invincible. Who could say that a blade of grass would not bloom into the most beautiful flower?

Under Gu Chen's power of time, the little boy grew rapidly. His body grew taller, and his limbs became stronger. The indomitable figure in the illusory self was merging with him in reality!

"So that's how it is …"

Fang Wen stared at this scene in disbelief. He had not expected that the little boy, whom he had checked earlier, would undergo such a complete transformation.

That little wimp, who was easily frightened to tears and whose face was always filled with fear, could actually transform into a Heavenly Emperor of a generation?

"So that's how it is. This tomb belongs to the Celestial Emperor. Only he can solve the hundreds of millions of trials, and only he can command the six celestial emperors."

"If we kill the little boy, the Celestial Emperor will never be able to come out and will never be able to leave this tomb."

Zuo Chunqiu murmured to himself and suddenly understood.

"That's not all. Only the Celestial Emperor's inheritance can make him appear. If someone from Xing Province enters, then this tomb really will become a trap …"

Tang Ning murmured excitedly. He also had a portion of the Celestial Emperor's inheritance, and it was the art of divination.

Now that he understood the meaning of the Celestial Emperor's trial, he couldn't help but sigh at the Celestial Emperor's foresight.

The majestic silhouette of the Celestial Emperor appeared next to Gu Chen. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. His smile was especially bright.

"How many years has it been? Finally, a qualified successor has appeared."

He looked at Gu Chen, as though he was looking at him from across the vast space. His gaze was filled with the care and concern of a senior to a junior.

"No matter who you are, to be able to go through all the trials in the tomb, it means that you not only have the strength, but also a strong dao heart."

"You didn't kill me in Peach Blossom City and didn't let me come out. It means that you have a benevolent heart."

"Finally, you can discover the secret on me. It means that you are wise enough."

"Tenacity makes you strong. Wisdom allows you to survive. Benevolence allows you not to lose your way."

"Only such a person can become the second Celestial Emperor and fulfill our last wishes."

The Celestial Emperor sighed and looked at the six immortal emperors around him. "Everyone, are you satisfied?"

The six Immortal Emperors, who had been so aggressive before, seemed to have abandoned their hostility and nodded their heads.

"Father, are you conscious?"

Li Shunyu was shocked to see this. He looked at Immortal Emperor Tai Xu excitedly.

"My son, you did not disappoint me today. The name of Immortal Emperor Tai Xu will be yours in the future."

Immortal Emperor Tai Xu said happily. It was just a sentence, but it made Li Shunyu tear up.

It had been a million years. When the calamity happened back then, he didn't even have time to bid farewell to his father. He regretted it for the rest of his life.

Today, he finally had the chance to speak to him and gain his approval!

"All of them are conscious? How can this be? A dead person is like an extinguished lamp. A million years have passed. Even if they left their spiritual will, their consciousness should have dissipated. Only their instincts should be left! "

Fang Wen looked at the immortal emperors in disbelief. He didn't expect that they had been acting dumb all this while. In fact, their original consciousnesses still remained!

The Celestial Emperor and the immortal emperors had overturned his imagination. His state of mind was in a mess!

"The final passage jade token is for you."

The gray puppy in the Celestial Emperor's arms turned into a golden jade token. He handed it to Gu Chen personally.

The place that the final jade token led to was the final inheritance ground of the Celestial Emperor's tomb.

"You can choose to bring them along, or not."

The Celestial Emperor looked at the other five people present and said.

"Other than him, bring everyone else."

Gu Chen smiled as he looked at Fang Wen and spoke without hesitation.

The Celestial Emperor didn't seem surprised and nodded.

"Overlord, don't even think about abandoning me. Without me, you can't pass the Celestial Emperor's trial!"

Fang Wen panicked. If Gu Chen didn't bring him along, he would most likely be trapped in the countless trials of the Celestial Emperor's tomb forever!

Gu Chen ignored him and took out the final passage jade token. As the Dao marks intertwined, a majestic door appeared in front of them!

Gu Chen, Zuo Chunqiu, Li Shunyu, the Ghost Emperor, and Tang Ning walked into the door. Before they left, they looked at Fang Wen with a mocking smile.

"Don't even think about it!"

Fang Wen's expression was ferocious as he charged forward. However, the Celestial Emperor casually waved his hand and sent him flying!

In the Celestial Emperor's tomb, no matter how powerful Fang Wen was, he was powerless to change the Celestial Emperor's will!

In the end, Gu Chen's group of five entered the final door. The Celestial Emperor and the six immortal emperors also disappeared.
