Chapter 7: The Epic of Long Life Ancient Mythology

  In the depths of the Canghua Heavenly Palace, in a space of nothingness, three figures surrounded by layers of twisted space were on the Tiankong Staircase. The sudden explosion of the "Heavenly Rule" and "Earthly Separation" awakened them from their cultivation.

  "What's going on? How did these two seniors suddenly burst out with such a huge aura?" The figure in the middle said, shocked. Layer by layer, the space around him began to dissipate, and he stepped out of the space one step at a time. After a moment, he completely walked out of the distorted space-time of the Canghua Heavenly Palace.

  "Who exactly awakened the two seniors?" The two people beside him also walked out of the time and space at the same time, and stood beside the first person.

  These three people stood there, without a single fluctuation of spiritual power within their bodies. They looked very simple and unadorned, with an air of returning to simplicity. However, the identities of these three people in the Shaking Light Cave Heaven were even more ancient than the ancestors. They were truly long-lived strong beings, existences at the level of a divine poem of immortality.

  Yang Guang Dong Tian Zhang Jiao Su Ming Yue, Tai Shang Chang Lao Mu Rong Xian, Sun Wu. These three people are all eighth-step cultivators, with lifespans rivaling that of the heavens. The Heavenly Mandate Step is merely a complete grasp of spatial rules. However, the Longevity Step has already allowed them to grasp temporal rules. They can add time flows within their own world, and wield boundless divine power to connect the rivers of time, slaying enemies centuries or millennia before they are born - super existences beyond compare.

  The world created by the Heavenly Steps is just a space, an empty space. One can create objects and people in this world, but they will never be able to reproduce or pass on. In contrast, after the Longevity Steps infuse their understanding of time rules into the world, it gains a sense of time, enabling creation and transmission. This is the biggest difference between the Heavenly Steps and the Longevity Steps.

  The Heavenly Mandate's step, the longest lifespan is only 9,999 years, and the power of the law is also limited to 99 million. As time passes, if one cannot break through within 9,999 years, they will die of old age, and all their powers will dissipate, or be obtained by others, or disappear forever in the universe. The Longevity Step, on the other hand, can reach a lifespan of up to 129,600 years. The highest power of the law can also break through 100 million, with the strength of 100 ancient dragons from the primordial heavens.

  In the Xian Dao sects, only those with the Longevity Step can be called a great sect and inherit for ten thousand years without being destroyed.

  Su Mingyue, Murong Xian, and Sun Wusan are the only three people who have achieved immortality in the tens of thousands of years since the creation of the Shaking Light Cave Heaven. In the Shaking Light Cave Heaven, they exist as a single entity of heaven.

  At this moment, the three of them were all shocked by the aura bursting out from the Heavenly Stairway, "Tian Gui" and "Di Ju". Only they knew what these two mysterious things that had existed in the Shaking Light Cave Heaven for tens of thousands of years really were.

  "Let's take a look," said Murong Xian, waving his large sleeve in front of him. A ripple-like disturbance appeared in the space before them, and after a moment, it formed into a mirror. Everything that was happening on the stairs leading to the Heavenly Gate now appeared within the mirror.

  "Murong Elder's understanding of the two rules of space and time seems to have deepened a lot." Seeing Murong Xian's move, Su Mingyue nodded with a faint smile on her face. The stronger the three of them were, the more powerful the Shaking Light Cave Heaven would become, and they were all very clear about their own cultivation. Even if it was just a slight improvement, it could be seen.

  "It's just a slight realization, nothing worth praising." Murong Xian smiled slightly and looked towards the mirror formed in space.

  By his side, Su Mingyue and Sun Wuxiang exchanged a glance, revealed a faint smile after that, and both cast their eyes on the mirror.

  On the stairs to heaven, two strange things floated quietly, with ancient and mysterious sounds and intricate patterns on them, releasing a momentum that made the Heavenly Palace tremble, shocked the strong of the Longevity Epic, and made the Fu Yaozi sweat.

  In the midst of the noble golden color, one thing stood with two feet, like two sharp swords inserted straight in, the fierce edge aura from the tip of the two feet cut through space, and a series of spatial cracks appeared below the tip. A terrifying breath emanated from the spatial cracks, causing the faces of several people nearby to turn pale. Faintly, it seemed as if everyone heard the groaning of the Heavenly Palace of Creation, like the moans of someone wounded. The two feet converged upwards, with a few undulating places in between. Upon closer inspection, they somewhat resembled the grip of a hand. The two feet converged at the waist and then shot straight up, forming an eerie void at the very top that seemed to exist yet not exist at the same time. This was the "Heavenly Rule"!

  Another one, however, is like a crescent moon bent to its limit. The curved part is an arc that seems to be the most perfect in the world. The edge of the arc has a series of golden lines, forty-nine in total, which perfectly divide the entire circle without any excess or deficiency. This is "Di Ju".

  Two strange and peculiar things emitted an aura of overwhelming momentum, but the crowd felt a sense of law, rules, and order emanating from them. It was as if all the laws and regulations of this world came from these two objects, which had established the trajectory of the operation of this world and left traces of the existence of the Heavenly Way.

  Time, at this moment, seemed to be passing particularly slowly. Fuyaozi, since entering the seventh step, had a feeling of fear in his heart for the first time. He knew what these two things were and what kind of existence had controlled them before. It was precisely because he knew that he felt afraid.

  It seemed like an eternity had passed, and just as everyone was struggling to withstand the overwhelming atmosphere, two objects moved. A spatial wave fluctuation suddenly spread out above the bodies of the two objects, and then a golden color floated out from above them, spreading across the sky. Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, the bodies of the two objects quietly dissolved, and with the drifting golden color, two figures appeared before everyone's eyes.

  Among them, Tian Gui transformed into a tall and majestic man wearing a noble golden Daoist robe. Di Ju transformed into a beautiful woman wearing a golden palace dress, her skin as white as snow, her hair as black as the night. A dignified, vast, and upright aura emanated from both of them, shocking everyone present.

  Legend has it that in the distant past, when heaven and earth were first formed, at the very beginning, there was only a vast emptiness between heaven and earth. There were no people, no trees, and no life of any kind. The four supreme energies that created heaven and earth, as well as the energies of earth, fire, wind, and water that solidified the world, drifted through the sky. Everywhere in the world, volcanoes erupted, earthquakes shook the ground without cease, and the sky was forever shrouded in a thick haze.

  But it was in such a harsh environment that a pair of siblings, born with the body of a human and the tail of a snake, appeared in this world. Both held weapons that had been by their side since birth, and descended upon this land. The brother named himself Fuxi, and the sister named herself Nüwa. Fuxi held the Heavenly Ruler, while Nüwa wore the Earth Measurer on her head, establishing the rules and order of this world, allowing it to take shape. With rules and order in place, the world ran stably according to its natural laws, giving rise to the era of the gods thousands of years later.

  In the era of gods, Fuxi and Nuwa were respectively called Xihuang and Wahuang. The words of the two have been passed down to this day, that is, "No rules, no squares." During the heyday of the era of gods, Xihuang and Wahuang disappeared between heaven and earth. Their disappearance has always been the biggest mystery so far. After they disappeared, the two Taohua Immortal Instruments, "Tian Gui" and "Di Ju", which can establish rules and order, were left in this world. After drifting for millions of years, they accidentally flowed into Yaoguang Cave Heaven, where they had been dormant for ten thousand years.

  "Tian Gui" and "Di Ju" transformed into human form, both of their gazes fell on Xu Lin who was lying in Fu Yao's arms. The eyes of "Tian Gui" flashed with strange light, and the beautiful eyes of "Di Ju" also shone with a colorful glow. Seeing that Xu Lin was still trembling due to pain somewhere in his body, "Di Ju" stretched out her flawless arm, her slender fingers extending from her wide sleeves, pointing at Xu Lin from afar. A golden light shot out from her fingertips, flashed by, and landed on Xu Lin's body, piercing into his interior.

  In an instant, Xu Lin felt the severe pain in his body rapidly subsiding, and it seemed that something had suddenly appeared in his brain, making his head feel a bit swollen.

  Inside the Cang Hua Tian Gong, Su Mingyue and the other two were shocked to see the scene where "Di Ju" had just made a move, feeling as if their minds had gone completely blank. For ten thousand years, the Yao Guang Dong Tian had never stopped sending people to make contact with these two Tai Huang Xian Qi, hoping that one of them would be lucky enough to gain the favor of one of them and join the Yao Guang Dong Tian.

  After all, the Taihuang Xianqi is a super existence that has existed since ancient times. It was generated by the heavens and earth themselves after countless billions of years. Any one of these divine artifacts has already perfectly grasped the rules of space, mastered the rules of time, and mastered the rules of heaven and earth. They are indestructible and eternal; even if the world is destroyed, they will still exist. If the heavens and earth were to be destroyed, they would still exist, equivalent to a super existence at the level of an eternal strongman. Any sect that possesses one of these divine artifacts is equivalent to having an eternal strongman presiding over it, allowing them to eternally pass down their legacy for billions of years without being destroyed. If Yao Guang Dian Tian can get any one of the "Tian Gui" or "Di Ju" to join, they can immediately upgrade to a sacred land, surpassing Tai Xuan Guan and Tian Gong Shu Yuan in one move, becoming the only super sect in the entire world.

  But the countless disciples of the Wan Nian Sect in the past had never made the two immortal artifacts move an inch. Su Mingyue knew that these two immortal artifacts could only belong to the Human Ancestor Xi Huang and the Earth Mother Wa Huang, and it was impossible for anyone to obtain them or join any sect. Over time, Su Mingyue also put down the idea of shaking the Yao Guang Cave Heaven with one move, and began to focus on cultivating his disciples.

  But just today, these two old ancestors were awakened by a child brought back by Fu Yaozi. "Tian Gui" and "Di Ju" even transformed into human form for him, and also suppressed something in the child's body. This thoroughly shocked Su Mingyue, Murong Xian, and Sun Wu.

  "Alright, we must get that kid to join the Radiant Void Heaven and take him as a true disciple. He can awaken the two seniors, who knows, maybe one day the two seniors will join the Void Heaven because of him. Don't let that kid leave, take him as a true disciple." Only shocked for a moment, Su Mingyue immediately recovered, and a string of words came out of his mouth.

  As Su Mingyue spoke, Murong Xian and Sun Wu also seemed to have realized something, their eyes suddenly burning with intensity.
