Chapter 293
Gu Chen followed the old Heavenly Emperor to a garden, while the Azure Qilin Reaper left first.
There were many colorful flowers in front, looking very beautiful.
"Gu Chen, do you know what the Old Man's famous technique is?"
The old Heavenly Emperor asked with a smile.
Gu Chen recalled the rumors in the Celestial Court and blurted it out. "Your Majesty's most famous technique should be the Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist, right?"
The Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist was said to be able to create and destroy everything with one punch, turning the sea into mulberry fields.
However, such a powerful Fist Technique had already become a legend. This was because the old Heavenly Emperor had not made a move for many years.
"That's right. Of all the things the Old Man has learned, the Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist is the most important. What the Old Man wants to teach you today is also related to it."
Right after the old Heavenly Emperor said that, Gu Chen's face lit up in joy. He had not expected the Heavenly Emperor to teach him his most powerful ability!
"The Heavenly Emperor's Time Fist involves the profound and unfathomable laws of time. Hence, it is abnormally difficult to cultivate. Do you have any concept of the so-called laws of heaven and earth? "
Gu Chen shook his head. The power of laws was still too foreign to him.
"It is normal that you do not understand. Only when a cultivator reaches the Celestial Realm and the soul in their body transforms into a primordial spirit can they sense the power of laws. The so-called being one with heaven sounds mysterious, but in reality, it is just coming into contact with the laws of heaven and earth.
"In my Kunlun Continent, the Celestial Realm is already the peak of cultivation. However, this world is very vast. There is still the vast starry sky outside our world. The path of cultivation is endless. As for the laws of heaven and earth, it is hard to comprehend them in one's lifetime."
The old Heavenly Emperor's words shocked Gu Chen. The Celestial Realm is far from the peak of cultivation?
The world is very big, and there is even the vast starry sky outside. The old Heavenly Emperor's understanding was surprisingly similar to the records in the Heavenly Phenomenon Art, giving Gu Chen a lot of inspiration.
"Dare I ask, Your Majesty, have you broken through the threshold of the Celestial Realm?"
Gu Chen asked curiously.
The old Sky Emperor shook his head. "The Kunlun Continent is an extremely special place. In the past, the Old Man was not clear about it, but in the nine thousand years that the Old Man has lived, there has never been an expert above the Celestial Being Realm."
"4,555 years?"
Gu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. The Celestial Thearch had actually lived for so long!
No wonder it was rumored in the Celestial Court that the Old Sky Emperor had lived for a very long time, but no one knew exactly how long he had lived, because his lifespan had already surpassed Gu Chen's understanding!
"Don't you find it unbelievable?"
The old Heavenly Emperor smiled. "Ordinary cultivators, even if their cultivation reaches the Deva Realm and are hailed as saints, their lifespan is at most a thousand years. In terms of lifespan, in the entire Kunlun Continent, no one can compare with the Old Man. Even among the other foreign races, there are no more than three who can compare with the Old Man in age. "
Gu Chen was speechless. He wanted to say that this was simply a thousand-year-old tortoise, but thinking that it was disrespectful to the Celestial Thearch, he kept his mouth shut.
"The reason why the Old Man's lifespan can violate the rules of the Heavenly Dao is mainly because the Old Man cultivates the Celestial Emperor's Light Fist."
"4,555 years ago, when the Old Man was young, he accidentally discovered the secret place of the Nine-Tiered Heavens Palace. From here, he obtained the Heavenly Treasure Book and the Time Stone, and even the Celestial Emperor's Light Fist. Only then did he embark on the road of cultivation."
Gu Chen was shocked when he heard this. There were probably only a few people in the entire continent who knew what the old Sky Emperor had said. Why did he tell him such a secret?
Could it be that he would tell every Daoist the truth?
"The origin of the Nine-Tiered Heavens is very unusual. Gu Chen, you have to remember, even if the Old Man dies one day, as long as the Heavens Palace is not destroyed, the inheritance of the Celestial Court will still exist."
The old Sky Emperor sighed.
"Your Majesty is too serious. You can still live to a hundred years old."
Gu Chen said quickly.
"A hundred years old? The Old Man lived for 4,555 years, but you wish me to live to a hundred years old? "
The old Sky Emperor teased.
"Of course not, this kid made a mistake. It should be wishing Your Majesty a long life."
Gu Chen smiled bitterly.
"Alright, I'm just teasing you. The Old Man has lived for so long, he has long lived enough. What is there to fear about death?"
The old Sky Emperor paced in the garden, and Gu Chen followed closely.
"Although the Old Man has comprehended a little bit of the Law of Time, making it difficult for the power of time to erode the Old Man, but because of this, he has lost the possibility of going further. Now, he is just living an ignoble life."
"Today, the Old Man is not going to teach you the Celestial Emperor's Time Fist. With your current realm, it is still difficult to comprehend. The Old Man will teach you a spell first."
"This spell was extracted by the Old Man from the Celestial Emperor's Time Fist. It is equivalent to a simplified version. It is less powerful, but it is easier to learn."
"After learning this spell, when you step into the Celestial Being Realm, you can learn the Celestial Emperor's Time Fist."
"Watch carefully, this spell is called [Moment of Beauty]."
As the old Sky Emperor spoke, he waved his sleeves. A cool breeze blew through the garden, and the colorful flowers quickly withered, and then quickly bloomed after they withered.
"Flowers bloom and fall, tides rise and fall, eternity and destruction are between a thought. Capturing that moment of beauty is the true meaning of time."
The old Sky Emperor said solemnly.
Gu Chen was dazzled. At present, the garden seemed to have experienced countless spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and the grass and trees were constantly changing the four seasons.
One moment, it was a harsh winter, flowers withered, and trees bare. The next moment, it was a warm spring and summer, flowers in full bloom, and the sun was like fire.
"Squeak squeak!"
The white ape looked at this wonderful scene and clapped excitedly.
"Little monkey, you have taken advantage of it. This spell was originally only taught to the Daoist. You and Gu Chen depend on each other, so you can be considered half an exception."
The old Sky Emperor said with a smile. With a point of his finger, a strange spiritual power suddenly drilled into the sea of consciousness of Gu Chen and the white ape.
Involuntarily, Gu Chen closed his eyes, and the cultivation method of [Moment of Beauty] flashed in his mind.
"Starting from now, for the next seven days, you should cultivate well here. You have just entered the Sovereign Realm. Aside from this spell, I believe you still have a lot of power to temper.
"Seven days later, the other Daoists and Quasi-Daoists will gather at the Lingxiao Hall to hold a Daoist coronation ceremony for you. At that time, the Old Man will send someone to call you."
After the old Sky Emperor finished speaking, he left. As for Gu Chen, he sank into the comprehension of this time spell.
…
As Gu Chen cultivated in the heavenly palace, the outside world, or rather, the entire Kunlun Continent, was already in an uproar because of the unprecedented phenomenon of stars appearing in daytime.
This phenomenon lasted for three days, and during these three days, the discussions about this matter never stopped in the five regions of the Kunlun Continent.
Some places said that this was the arrival of the end, making people anxious. Some places thought that the stars of fortune were shining, and a sage would be born.
In the nine provinces, the believers of the Desolate God Church said that this was the wrath of heaven, indicating the birth of a star of calamity. The followers of the Desolate God Church would walk the world and use the name of the Desolate God to eliminate this star of calamity, freeing the masses from the suffering of the mortal world.
All sorts of rumors spread in the world until the major factions that left the Wind and Cloud Gathering spread the news of the Daoist of the Celestial Court, Chen Gu, undergoing a tribulation.
