Thinking about it, the destruction of the Heavenly Palace, the dwelling place of the Heavenly Emperor, into such ruins could likely only be perpetrated by the other two Immortals.
At the sa ti, Su Jie ca to a sobering realization of the Heavenly Emperor's formidable battle prowess. The Heavenly Emperor truly exemplifies the strongest Immortal, being capable of fighting both the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother simultaneously.
In Ancient Tis, perhaps it was precisely this battle that led to the complete end of the prosperous era of cultivation.
It is likely that the Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Mother disappeared after this battle; otherwise, if the Heavenly Emperor had triumphed, he wouldn't have neglected to repair the Heavenly Palace.
If the Human Emperor and Earth Mother were victorious, Su Jie had seen the Human Emperor's corpse, which hardly looks like a victory.
"Could the three Immortals have perished together? What drove them to fight to such a degree, to risk their lives in the struggle?"
This question arose in Su Jie's mind, and it was the most reasonable conjecture. If any Immortals still existed, why haven't there been any signs throughout the years?
What also piqued Su Jie's curiosity was why these Immortals, who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and possessed eternal life, would engage in mutual slaughter.
With this question buried in his heart, Su Jie set aside the Jade Token and continued his exploration.
Affected by the Immortal Light, his Divine Sense was ineffective within the Heavenly Palace; he could only rely on his eyes to explore, greatly reducing efficiency.
The Heavenly Palace stretched a million kiloters in length and width, an astounding size; even Su Jie had to explore it slowly.
This ruin still contained many Treasures, including spoils from Crossing Realm cultivators who fell during that period, who also used top-level Dao Treasures.
However, what Su Jie most desired was the remains concerning the Immortals, especially those regarding becoming immortal.
"Perhaps I might find sothing there."
Suddenly struck by a thought, Su Jie halted his exploration and sped towards a direction at full speed.
The ruin-filled Heavenly Palace posed no real danger, at most so long-abandoned Divine Weapons and Treasures might periodically attack, but Su Jie could easily handle them.
In full pursuit, Su Jie traversed the uninhabited ruins, arriving at his destination monts later.
This was a hall, mostly collapsed, soaring and suspended at the Nine Heavens, its original splendor and majesty faintly discernible.
This was the hall depicted in the Jade Token scene, where the Heavenly Emperor delivered a speech; it should be an important location within the Heavenly Palace.
Golden Palace!
Su Jie saw the plaque inscribed in Ancient Text, bearing the na Golden Palace.
Stepping inside, despite the largely collapsed ruins, the layout was essentially as Su Jie had seen in the Jade Token scene.
Once inside, Su Jie was imdiately attracted to a Jade Pendant located above the throne; this Jade Pendant was ten Zhang in size, emitting a hazy Immortal Light.
"Supre Majesty of the Golden Palace, profound and incomprehensible Heavenly Emperor, transcendent origin, bearer of the decree, revered sage of great compassion, known as Heavenly Venerable of Pardon, Primordial Heavenly Lord, dwelling eternally atop the Golden Palace of True Nothingness.
The Heavenly Emperor endured billions of tribulations, attaining the Tao Body, Dharma Body, Original Body, True Body, Traced Body, Responsive Body, Parted Body, and Transford Body.
Mastering thirty-six heavens and overseeing seventy-two lands, authoritative and boundless, sovereign of all heavens and realms, revered cornerstone of majesty, supre Dharma Body..."
As Su Jie's gaze focused, an image automatically appeared in his mind, showcasing the imposing figure of the Heavenly Emperor, accompanied by textual voices.
It seed akin to entering a company's corporate culture display; in this scene, the Heavenly Emperor was praised and extolled with grandeur, his powers and majestic titles basked in lavish praise.
Su Jie felt a headache listening. He had long known the Heavenly Emperor's fondness for self-aggrandizent; his Chaos Banner, Immortal Slaying Sword, and Heavenly Suppressing Cauldron left traces, even the Golden Palace was not without self-promotion, leaving his grand na everywhere.
Su Jie listened to half an hour of praises and illustrious feats, deepening his understanding of the Heavenly Emperor even further.
Back in Ancient Tis, the Heavenly Emperor recruited talents worldwide at the Heavenly Palace, allowing all with talent to be admitted exceptionally, becoming mbers of the Heavenly Palace.
Earlier, Su Jie saw those cultivators who waged war with the Human Emperor and Earth Mother's armies were from here.
In Ancient Tis, the Heavenly Emperor's renown was widespread, known as the strongest Immortal, unmatched in power, exceeding that of the Human Emperor and Earth Mother, the epito of greatness.
An hour later, Su Jie felt a sudden tremor of excitent, as the praise for the Heavenly Emperor finally ended, proceeding to narrate the origins of the Heavenly Emperor.
To be precise, the narrative remained centered on the Heavenly Emperor's perspective.
In the image within Su Jie's mind, an era predating Ancient Tis unfolded, a ti long past even the concept of ti had lost its significance.
The universal world was in a state of chaos, a primordial chaos and darkness, void of any life or existence, devoid even of concepts like matter, energy, and space-ti.
Then, within the primal darkness, Immortal Light surged, sprouting, branching, growing; an Hongng Immortal Tree blossod with Immortal Light, growing to reach the heavens and earth.
This Hongng Tree was the origin of everything, its trunk containing all matter, its leaves holding infinite energy, its roots pulsating with the Power of Space-Ti.
The Hongng Immortal Tree was the universe's greatest miracle; its growth imbued the universe with true aning, no longer an void of emptiness.
And as the Hongng Immortal Tree grew, the universe expanded along with it, the Hongng Immortal Tree matured, eventually producing eighteen buds upon its crown, bearing verdant fruits.
Ultimately, in the tiless Primordial Universe, the Hongng Immortal Tree, having grown to its limits, was unable to further sustain the universe's expansion. Its trunk couldn't bear the vast cosmic pressure, collapsing under the primordial universe's extre compression.
The Primordial Universe shattered, yet due to the Hongng Immortal Tree's demise, the energy, matter, and space-ti contained within dispersed throughout the universe; the Primordial Origin transford into the endless Tao River, giving rise to laws of physics within the universe, stabilizing the once dood Primordial Universe.
And unknown ages later, life erged within the primordial universe, forming planets, star systems, and other cosmic entities.
Among the eighteen Immortal Fruits nurtured by the Hongng Immortal Tree, three relied on residual nutrients following the tree's collapse to mature, evolving into human forms.
The largest and first to develop human form beca the Heavenly Emperor, the second beca the Human Emperor, and the third transford into the Earth Mother.
This was the origin of the Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Mother.
Upon their birth, the Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Mother possessed the cultivation level of Crossing Realm, swiftly utilizing the residual Hongng Immortal Qi from the Hongng Immortal Tree for cultivation, soon perceiving the Chaos Primordial Ten Thousand Paths, ascending as supre Immortals.
Finally, the Heavenly Emperor crafted the Heavenly Suppressing Cauldron from the Hongng Tree's trunk, the Immortal Slaying Sword from its roots, the Chaos Banner from its bark; the Earth Mother forged the Reincarnation Spear using the Hongng Immortal Tree's branches and the fifteen remaining immature Immortal Fruits, while the Human Emperor cast the Kunlun Mirror using the tree's core.
When Su Jie saw this, he was utterly astonished.
So it turned out the Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Mother, the three Immortals, originated as evolved Immortal Fruits. Previously, Su Jie had wondered whether Immortals were innate creations of the universe or simply evolved humans, but now there was finally an answer.
Su Jie also learned the genesis of this universe; it beca apparent that both Immortals and Immortal Treasures originated from the initial Hongng Immortal Tree, with even the vibrant universe's creation attributed to it.
The Hongng Immortal Tree was the origin of everything.
Su Jie also realized why the Human Emperor claid a shared origin with the Heavenly Emperor; they all sprang from the sa tree, sharing the sa source and species!
"Evolved fruits—if people were to discover the origins of the Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Mother, it would astonish countless individuals."
Su Jie bore a complex expression, not expecting such legendary Immortals to have originated in this manner.
After the initial shock, Su Jie's heart raced, as he'd witnessed the experience of the Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, and Earth Mother attaining immortality through Hongng Immortal Qi.
"To transform from Crossing Realm to immortal, was Hongng Immortal Qi the key?"
Su Jie mused, realizing the mystery of becoming immortal.
The first-born three Immortals utilized the residual Hongng Immortal Qi from the Hongng Immortal Tree, ultimately ascending to immortality.
