Chapter 47: The Power of the Four Symbols

  But then, in the thirty-third heaven, a loud rumble was heard, and instantly the thunder fire and whirlwind disappeared. Thousands of rays of auspicious light flashed, and the aura of good fortune shot straight up to the clouds. The spiritual energy and dragon pulse surged forth, appearing and disappearing, and anyone who saw it would know that it was a blessed place with a heavenly aura.

  "The Emperor arrived so early, his speed was so fast that we were left in the dust." Emperor Jun and Taiyi rushed over, just in time to see Emperor Jiang, who had been standing under the 33rd Heaven for a long time, and couldn't help but speak out.

  Emperor Jiang turned his head to look, Emperor Jun's face was full of majestic energy, the purple robe and golden crown were dazzling, even more radiant. He saw the thirty-three heavens transformed into a blessed land, and the joy in his eyes could not be hidden. While beside him, Taiyi, dressed in the same attire, lacked a bit of majesty, but had an extra bit of sharpness, his two eyes gazing at Emperor Jiang, filled with intense fighting spirit, still unwilling to accept that he and the other two had lost to Emperor Jiang last time.

  "Now that the thirty-third day has arrived, my Wu clan will occupy the top ten days, and the Yao clan will have the remaining twenty-three days. Is there still any objection?" Emperor Jiang asked calmly as he released his aura and glanced at Taiyi.

  The powerful aura on Emperor Jiang's body rushed over, and both of them changed color at the same time. Both were beheading corpses and saints, but Emperor Jiang's cultivation was actually able to surpass his own by so much that it was difficult for the two of them to completely block together. Especially Taiyi, who had been glanced at by Emperor Jiang, had a gloomy face, staring more and more at Emperor Jiang, but the fighting spirit on his body had unconsciously dissipated a lot.

  "This matter has long been settled, and I, Emperor Jun, will certainly not go back on my word or do something that would make me lose face."

  Di Jiang listened and nodded slightly, retracted the aura from his body, and stopped talking, quietly waiting for thirty-three days to fully transform.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi were both proud individuals, seeing Di Jiang's expression made them both indignant in their hearts, but the strong Wu tribe was not to be trifled with, they had to endure it in their hearts. The suppressed emotions temporarily pent up, but going on like this would hinder their cultivation.

  "The Western True One has met the Witch Emperor and the Demon Emperor. I, the poor Taoist, have calculated with my fingers that this Thirty-Third Heaven is connected to me in the West, so I've come to ask for something. I hope the two Emperors will agree."

  At this time, two people flew from the Western land, both with double buns on their heads, wearing Taoist robes, and their attire was extremely strange and unmatched. At least Emperor Jiang thought so. The two big men had tied up two small braids that resembled heavenly whips, and every time they saw them, they had an urge to laugh.

  "Zhun Ti brought two Taoist friends who were not enjoying bliss in the Western Paradise, how did they come to my Eastern Paradise so leisurely?" Emperor Jiang spoke up before Emperor Jun.

  "The Emperor's words are heavy, we two people rush about every day for the living beings of the Western world, how can we be at leisure? As long as the Western world is not yet a land of ultimate bliss, we two will not enjoy peace and happiness for even one day."

  Afraid of being too hasty in speech, I offended Emperor Jiang, but was the first to apologize.

  "Two fellow Taoists with great willpower and wisdom, I also admire them very much. Today, they have come to me, the Witch Clan's Tian, is it fate that has brought us together in this realm?"

  "Nature is not, thirty-three days with eight directions heaven close to me west, only for this come."

  Di Jiang fell silent after hearing this, since it wasn't the intention of the ten heavenly realms of the Wu tribe, it naturally had nothing to do with him. Why bother offending these two saints for no reason?

  "Zhunti's appetite for bringing in two fellow Taoists is not small, opening his mouth is all eight directions, when I'm good at bullying, it's not going to work." Taiyi on the side heard the words of Zhunti, suddenly furious.

  Di Jun was also enraged at this time, seeing Tai Yi not stopping him. The demon clan's power had been declining day by day, and he couldn't help but want to use these two Westerners to establish his authority. Otherwise, even stray cats and dogs would dare to come and cause trouble.

  Zhun Ti also let out a cold hum, and towards the Wu tribe, they still had some fear, but as for the Yao tribe, it was as if they hadn't put their heart into it at all.

  "Is Taiyi Dao friend going to forcibly block my Western Avenue opportunity? It seems that we can't avoid having a fight."

  Taiyi was enraged upon hearing this, and summoned the Hunyuan Bell to strike Zhunti. Zhunti also took out the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree from his hand, and the two immediately entangled in a fierce battle.

  Di Jun saw it and didn't hesitate. He summoned the Hetu Luoshu to join the battle circle, but suddenly saw Jieyin fly over and block him.

  "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Demons, has attained divine powers. I wish to learn a few moves from you, may I?"

  Di Jun sneered coldly: "If you want to fight, then fight, why so much nonsense."

  "It's so easy to offend." The guide didn't say much, and with a wave of his hand, the Guide's Treasure Banner appeared above him. He stepped out with the Golden Lotus of Merit underfoot, and with another swing of the banner, suddenly a brilliant light filled the air, and the sound of Buddhist chanting echoed forth, shooting straight at Emperor Jun.

  Di Jun was greatly astonished by this majestic aura, wondering where such a Buddhist sound came from. He did not know that Jie Yin had already begun to comprehend the eight hundred side doors of the Tao and that every move and style subtly conformed to the teachings of Buddhism, giving rise to the natural emergence of the Buddhist sound.

  Di Jun was shocked, but he didn't forget to turn the Hetu Luoshu into a Taiji formation. Suddenly, a mysterious and profound light flashed around him, protecting his body. The precious banner struck down, emitting a deafening roar, and the sound of the bell abruptly stopped.

  He blocked the incoming attack, Emperor Jun immediately launched a counterattack, and with a mouthful of air, the pre-heavenly fire flew out, covering the thirty-three heavens in a crimson red hue. Amidst this fiery redness, there were also some chaotic colors mixed in, which made Jie Yin look at it with great trepidation, not daring to hesitate, he summoned back his Jie Yin treasure banner to protect himself above his head. Gong De Jin Xian was also fully displaying his powers, and suddenly a brilliant light burst forth, auspicious aura surged out, instantly shielding Jie Yin's entire body, isolating the pre-heavenly fire outside. For a moment, the two were locked in a fierce battle of magical powers, reaching an impasse.

  Once again, Zhuanti and Taiyi sang in unison with the bell's tolling, while the seven-treasured wondrous tree emitted a seven-colored divine light that enveloped the Chaos Bell. However, as the two had equivalent magical powers and the Chaos Bell was an innate treasure, it couldn't be moved for the time being, but its might was also restricted.

  "Zhun Ti Pi Fu, let you see the power of my Dong Huang Zhong."

  Taiyi suddenly said, only to see the chaotic clock making a loud noise, blocking the seven treasures of Zhunti's wonderful tree, and emitting waves of sound waves towards Zhunti.

  Zhunti was shocked, and for a moment underestimated the power of the innate treasure. When the sound wave attack came, he couldn't resist it at first, and then his primordial spirit went blank for a moment, causing him to fall into a brief daze. When he woke up again, he found himself in a dark and confused place, and suddenly became furious. He didn't know that he had been trapped in the Hunyuan Bell, which was a great loss of face. Without hesitation, he held his divine mallet and cast it out, and a golden light appeared, wanting to pierce through the chaos and get out of the Hunyuan Bell.

  Taiyi sensed the movement of Zhunti and burst out laughing, "You think it's that easy to get out after entering my Donghuang Bell? How ridiculous."

  Zhun Ti heard Da Yi's words in the bell and became even angrier, "It wasn't my carelessness that allowed you to succeed with your Dao. Don't be arrogant, watch me shatter this Chaotic Bell."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a golden body flew out of his brain, this golden body had eighteen hands, and twenty-four heads. Each hand on the eighteen hands produced a magical instrument, and suddenly rushed to the four directions, making a loud noise, tearing open a gap, and flying out in an instant.

  Taiyi saw the chaotic clock shaking, the way was trapped and couldn't hold on for long, so he summoned out the Qingguang Two-instrument Lamp, quietly waiting for Zhunti to fly out. Before long, sure enough, Zhunti flew out, and instantly, Taiyi presented the Qingguang Two-instrument Lamp, spewing out a green flame.

  Just then, he was surrounded by so many, suddenly engulfed in flames and let out a mournful cry. Looking at Zhunti again, his Taoist robe was charred black, and a lot of his hair had been burned off.

  "Anger kills me too." Zhunti was furious, his golden body flew out again, holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and the Empowered Divine Mallet to strike Taichi. Taichi would not be afraid of him, and the two stood together once more.

  Emperor Jiang watched the battle on the border with a bland expression, as both sides were evenly matched and it was impossible to distinguish between victory and defeat. Just then, his thirty-third heavenly transformation was completed. Emperor Jiang didn't hesitate and flew up immediately.

  "I, the Emperor of Heaven, with the name of Tian Ting Wu Di, control the twenty-eight constellations, take charge of the masters of the ten heavenly directions, the four symbols of heaven and earth, listen to my orders, come out!"

  As the voice of Di Jiang fell, a loud rumbling sound shook the four corners of heaven and earth. The sky's radiance reappeared, and boundless merits converged. For a moment, the vast expanse was shocked, even the four people including Emperor Jun and Taiyi stopped fighting to watch.

  Only the east was greatly bright, seven stars suddenly appeared, extremely dazzling, even in the daytime they were clearly visible, then transformed into a giant green dragon's shadow, crawling on it.

  Then in the south, there was a great brightness, and seven stars appeared. In an instant, a virtual image of a phoenix-like figure engulfed in flames appeared.

  Then there is the White Tiger of the West and the Black Tortoise of the North.

  Twenty-eight star mansions flashed, four images appeared together, and it was recognized that the ruler of Emperor Jiang had confirmed his identity. Then, the four colors of green, red, white, and black flew out, all entering Emperor Jiang's body.

  The power of the Four Symbols entered his body, and Emperor Jiang immediately felt the opportunity to break through his physical body. He didn't dare hesitate, and immediately activated the Nine Turns of the Mysterious Skill. The power of the Four Symbols rotated inside his body, slowly grinding against his flesh, and his flesh's magical strength gradually filled up, and his strength increased by a lot in an instant.

  When the power of the Four Symbols was fully absorbed into his body, Emperor Jiang's entire body emitted a crackling sound, and his aura suddenly reached its peak.

  "The physical boundary has been broken!" Taiyi looked at Emperor Jiang's state and let out a sigh of emotion.

  Others remained silent, but Emperor Jun's eyebrows furrowed.

  At this time, Emperor Jiang finally opened his eyes, and the stars in his eyes flashed by. His physical realm had finally broken through to the quasi-saint mid-term.
