"What do you an?" Jiang Li furrowed his brow.
"The Three Pure Ones had already half-detached from the heavens and earth at that ti, and they had opened a breach, through which we sensed a presence of the sa origin."
Emperor Xi said calmly, "We succeeded in temporarily detaching from the flow of ti, aligning with the Three Pure Ones who had also transcended ti. Yet we failed in the end, unable to open up another world and split the flow of ti."
"Interesting..." Jiang Li squinted his eyes. "Is this the breakthrough point you've newly conceived?"
Emperor Xi's implication was that the future is predetermined, even having already influenced the past.
Emperor Xi successfully broke the seal, with the Three Emperors temporarily detaching from the river of ti, confronting the Three Pure Ones. However, they ultimately failed and could not change the past.
Yet, they still managed to interfere with the past.
Had they not detached from the river of ti, confronting the semi-transcended Three Pure Ones, the past might have changed.
To ensure the past remains unchanged, Jiang Li had to actively release Emperor Xi to facilitate their actions.
It must be said, this breakthrough point was much stronger than previous statents.
However, one could not rule out that Emperor Xi might have fabricated this lie. Only the Three Emperors truly knew what had transpired in the past; Jiang Li cannot leap into the past to verify this.
"Are you suggesting the Three Emperors are repeating their failures?" Jiang Li said coolly.
"To us, the first ti has yet to happen," Emperor Xi replied calmly, "Even if the outco is already in sight, we must still strive to change it. Though I have pioneered Yi Dao, I do not believe in destiny. Da Yan fifty, Heavenly Destiny forty-nine, one escapes; there has never been a concept of predestination in worldly affairs."
"If successful, all the better; if the final result is failure, then it's just a matter of dying."
Both Emperor Xi and the other two of the Three Emperors regard their lives and deaths lightly.
They are destined to die, even if they change the past; it would only lead to another future where they still perish above the river.
These words may have seed lightly spoken by Emperor Xi, but they presented Jiang Li with a dilemma.
"Emperor Xi is comndable indeed."
Jiang Li repeated this assessnt once more.
He slowly exhaled, exhibiting emotional fluctuations for the first ti, "Even having reached such circumstances and being sealed by , he can still disturb my mind. Those like the Great Heavenly Venerate only see Emperor Xi's unsurpassed power, yet today, I am fortunate to witness Emperor Xi's wisdom."
Whether true or false, Emperor Xi managed to stir waves in Jiang Li's ntal State, pushing Jiang Li, who held the absolute advantage, to a pivotal crossroads.
Jiang Li had to admit, this was an imnsely troubleso opponent.
"Well, let see."
Jiang Li fixed his gaze on the Taiji Seal, his fluctuating ntal State restoring to tranquility, "Let see that so-called destined future, let see whether or not you can break the seal from my grasp. If the future is truly predetermined, then no matter what I do, it won't alter the outco, correct?"
Jiang Li could not be certain of the truth in these words, as until now, transcending ti remained a re theory.
No one has ever truly reversed ti; all related notions haven't materialized, remaining theoretical.
So, why not witness it firsthand.
See how this future will develop.
"Perhaps..."
Jiang Li suddenly wore a strange expression, "Perhaps the future will unfold in ways beyond your expectation, Emperor Xi."
A mysterious aura enveloped Jiang Li, a curious Qi.
He seed to vanish from the world; whether form, substance, body, or image, all transford into nothingness, returning to the state before the world was ford, beyond even the Chaos of Tai Chu.
During this period of retreat, Jiang Li did not rely heal; his Taichu Dao also advanced at an incomprehensible pace.
Clearly, Jiang Li too had only recently delved into Taichu, even needing to create his own Cultivation Technique, yet he managed rapid advancent in a short ti. Taichu's progress also propelled Tai Shi, Taisu, Taiji, with the Five Primordial Elents advancing in unison, causing Jiang Li's Realm to break through anew.
The Three Pure Dao Artifacts turned into seals, counterbalancing Emperor Xi; still, Jiang Li felt as though Dao pursued him relentlessly.
Within the ever-rotating Taiji Seal, the dragon-shaped curve at this mont revealed an indescribable silence.
'He... discovered?'
Emperor Xi, always composed, sensed an ominous foreboding at this mont.
······
······
Traversing Ten Thousand Mountains and vast wilderness, a sky-reaching peak stood quietly at the edge of the desolate earth.
"Wang—"
Xiao Tian landed on the ground, panting heavily, "Exhausted, man! How did I run this far?"
Ever since the day it was borrowed by the Daoist Lord, Xiao Tian had been tracking the Yellow Emperor's trail.
From the Nine Provinces all the way southward, never resting, its fatigue not only ca from the depletion of stamina and Essence Qi, but also from chanical movents as it chased, leaving Xiao Tian utterly exhausted.
Being just a dog, it couldn't handle such trendous pressure.
Yet, alongside Xiao Tian ca the Daoist Lord, with a face full of astonishnt, "To have pursued this far..."
Without any traces left by the Yellow Emperor, the tracking relied entirely on Xiao Tian's nose.
Chasing from the East Sea to here, spanning over a hundred and eighty thousand miles, Xiao Tian's ability to 'Ten Thousand Miles Tracking' was an understatent.
But considering it may be the first supre dog ever, this sowhat makes sense.
Even considering the endless ages before the End of Dharma, no supre third grade dog had ever erged. Legends of Heavenly Dogs capable of swallowing the moon were barely third grade, rely blocking the Taiyin Star.
The Daoist Lord had been expressing his admiration, even beginning to muse over ancient tis; anwhile, his bull below had suffered.
"Finally arrived..."
Green Bull's front hooves weakened, nearly kneeling.
The Daoist Lord was quite relaxed because the travel was done on Green Bull as the mount.
The Daoist Lord rely had to ditate in breathing control on its back while Green Bull bore the brunt.
To catch up with that supre dog, Green Bull had spent all its strength, now feeling drained.
Thankfully, the destination was finally reached.
"It's at the summit ahead."
Xiao Tian caught his breath for a while, his canine eyes growing sharper.
It retreated behind Green Bull, speaking in a deep voice, "The Yellow Emperor should be there."
"Hey, you're third grade, yet you hide behind who's fourth-rank?" Green Bull said, its face turning even greener.
Then, it knelt down, saying, "Please, Master, dismount."
Let the Daoist Lord handle this scenario.
"You, bull,"
The Daoist Lord shook his head, chuckling and cursing, "Trailing the Emperor's loyal dog all this way, didn't learn a bit of the duty of loyalty."
Despite Xiao Tian's quick retreat, had Emperor Jiang been here, this supre dog would dash forth to express its allegiance.
In comparison with Xiao Tian, this Green Bull needed to train more.
While speaking, the Daoist Lord flicked the horsetail whisk, emitting immortal light naturally, "No need to go further; that majesty has arrived."
The voice faded, and immortal light spread across the ground, diffusing like streaming water, gathering in a certain direction naturally.
The Daoist Lord is well-versed in the way of water; the immortal light emitted now naturally shifted, instinctively avoiding a certain direction.
For in that direction, an existence resembling an earth-supporting column, although not appearing in form, compelled the immortal light to avoid it.
"After all these years, Master Xuan Du's Realm has beco ever profound."
Upon Daoist Lord's hint, the pillar-like being revealed himself, clad in Emperor's Robe, wielding the Human Dao Holy Sword—who but the Yellow Emperor?··········································
