One State Preceptor from Taixu lay down, and another State Preceptor from Taixu stood up.

State Preceptor Shentu Ye, having consumed the Solid Foundation and Nourishing Yuan Pill refined by Xuanqing, achieved an Immortal Primordial Spirit and a perfect physical form. He engaged in a battle of wits and courage with his own corpse for three consecutive days.

In the end, he declared defeat because he could not shake his own physical body.

From then on, Taixu had two State Preceptors: one was Shentu Shiyi, and the other was Shentu Shenye.

"Taixu, where did this Elixir come from?"

State Preceptor Shentu Shenye, furious, came to the Taixu Emperor wielding the Earth-shattering Hammer, seeking an explanation for his troubles.

The Taixu Emperor responded indifferently, "It was refined by Ah Xuan, what about it?"

"What? Refined by Ah Xuan?" State Preceptor Shentu Shenye stood there stunned, then put away the Earth-shattering Hammer with an embarrassed smile.

"Elixirs refined by Ah Xuan are amazing!"

State Preceptor Shentu Shenye lavished praise upon Xuanqing.

"After consuming this Solid Foundation and Nourishing Yuan Pill, I'm almost at the stage of Immortal Primordial Spirit and physical sanctification!" Shentu Shenye, abandoning his body, roamed the world as a spiritual being and didn't feel anything wrong.

"Immortal Primordial Spirit, physical sanctification?"

The Taixu Emperor sized up Shentu Shenye and finally chuckled: "Let's go, we shall visit Tiandu Mountain for its scenery."

"Good idea, that's exactly what I had in mind!" State Preceptor Shentu Shenye, now much stronger, was brimming with confidence.

Two streaks of light flew towards Tiandu Mountain.

A moment later.

A meteor fell from the sky and crashed in front of the gate of Yuxu Palace.

"Eh? State Preceptor!!" Little Xuanqing opened the door, saw Shentu Shenye groaning on the ground, his eyes brightened and he chuckled: "You've really recovered from your illness!"

"Ah Xuan? Oh right, I'm cured! Haha, completely cured!"

State Preceptor Shentu Shenye, seeing Xuanqing, quickly scrambled up from the ground, only for a divine hammer to fall and knock him down again.

The Taixu Emperor appeared in front of Yuxu Palace, laughing heartily: "Ah Xuan, the State Preceptor has just recovered from a serious illness. I specially took him out for some exercise."

"You go ahead, I'll take the State Preceptor elsewhere to continue enjoying the scenery."

Before Xuanqing could speak, the Taixu Emperor picked up Shentu Shenye from the ground and flew off.

"Do you not want the State Preceptor's hammer?"

Little Xuanqing picked up the Earth-shattering Hammer, pondered for a moment, then turned and walked back into Yuxu Palace.

"Little Song, lend me a couple of your tail hairs!"

"Squeak!!"

When State Preceptor Shentu Shenye again fell in front of Yuxu Palace, a hammer was extended towards him.

"State Preceptor, here's your hammer, I'm returning it to you." Xuanqing returned the Divine Weapon to its rightful owner.

"Is this my hammer?" The State Preceptor examined the colorful Earth-shattering Hammer in his hands, feeling that something was off.

"Never mind, time to settle accounts with Taixu first!" The State Preceptor flew towards the skies, initiating the third battle with the Taixu Emperor.

Boom!!!

A meteor hit the ground.

This time, the one who fell was the Taixu Emperor.

A colorful Taixu Emperor.

"Hahaha, Taixu, let's go again, we're off to enjoy the scenery!" State Preceptor wielded the divine hammer, showcasing his divine might.

The Taixu Emperor climbed up emotionlessly from the ground.

With a tinkling crash, dozens of Divine Weapons including the Taixu Sword, Taixu Seal, Void Emperor Spear, and Formless Bell fell to the ground.

And then flew above the Jiuxiao heavens.

"Eh? Why all this carelessness."

Little Xuanqing squatted and picked them up for a good while, joyfully hugging the Divine Weapons back to Yuxu Palace.

"Little Song, I need a few more of your tail hairs!"

When the Taixu Emperor was flipped over for the second time in front of Yuxu Palace, he saw a squirrel hugging its bare tail, silently shedding tears.

He compensated the squirrel with two purple-gold pine cones, then armed with dozens of modified Divine Weapons charged towards the Jiuxiao.

The State Preceptor was utterly defeated.

His Primordial Spirit was contaminated time and time again by the Five Elements Divine Light, turning into a rainbow person.

Shentu Shenye became Shentu Hongye.

"No more fighting, I give up!"

Shentu Hongye, after a harsh beating from the Taixu Emperor, had lost all his previous vigor.

"Come on, weren't you very strong? Isn't your Primordial Spirit immortal?" The Taixu Emperor mocked the Rainbow National Master.

"If you dare, stop using the Divine Weapons that Ah Xuan reforged!" The State Preceptor retorted angrily.

"If you dare, put down the hammer in your hands!"

The State Preceptor remained silent.

He put away the Divine Weapons and went to Yuxu Palace for a confidential discussion with Xuanqing.

After a stick of incense had burned, the State Preceptor, restored to his former self, left Tiandu Mountain with a roll of Secret Talisman in hand, a mountain that had been nothing but troublesome for him.

"Ah Xuan, what did the State Preceptor talk to you about?" The Taixu Emperor found Xuanqing.

Xuanqing replied, "The State Preceptor asked me for a roll of the Corpse Chasing Secret Technique. I didn't have it, so I improvised one just now."

"Corpse Chasing Secret Technique?" The Void Emperor wore a peculiar expression upon hearing this.

The Primordial Spirit using the Corpse Chasing Technique to drive its own body, so there's actually such a solution?

The State Preceptor truly is a genius.

"Right, the Corpse Chasing Secret Technique. The State Preceptor promised to take me out to play and even plans to bring me to the headquarters of Divine Spirit Realm's Hehuan Valley," Xuanqing honestly spoke.

Hehuan again... The Void Emperor praised without a change in his expression: "It's good to travel."

"By the way, can A'Xuan make talismans?"

"Yes!" Little Xuanqing nodded.

The Void Emperor said with a smile: "I need A'Xuan to help me craft a few talismans; they don't need to be too powerful, just ordinary ones will do."

"Mm."

Nine days later, the Taixu National Master's divine abilities have made minor accomplishments.

He still couldn't return to his own body at present, but through the Corpse Chasing Secret Technique, he could control his physical body to move freely.

Whether walking, sitting, or performing cultivation exercises, everything was smooth.

"Good!"

That evening, Shentu Shenye, driving his own corpse, challenged the Void Emperor once again.

An immortal Primordial Spirit coupled with a perfect body, the State Preceptor fought the Void Emperor to an indistinguishable outcome.

Just when the State Preceptor was feeling pleased with himself, the Void Emperor suddenly pulled out a talisman and stuck it on the forehead of Shentu Shiyi.

"What is this?" The connection between Shentu Shenye and Shentu Shiyi was severed.

"Suppressing Corpse Talisman!"

~~~

[The Taixu National Master had promised to take you to the headquarters of Hehuan Valley, but has since reneged on his word. However, you didn't take it to heart.]

[This year you've turned four years old, and you decide to seek welfare for the citizens of Taixu Country. Thus, you improved the testing of Flying Clouds.]

[Every citizen of Taixu can cultivate the Feitian Secret Method, traveling to and fro on the testing Flying Clouds.]

[The color of the testing Flying Clouds springs from the heart. If one has a heart wide open and just, rainbow clouds will appear beneath their feet; but if their heart is full of deceit and darkness, black clouds will form underfoot. The clouds rise from the feet, and their color changes with the intentions of the heart, unabashedly revealing one's true nature.]

[At first, the citizens of Taixu Country were ashamed of black clouds. Whenever encountering evil deeds, they would introspect and correct themselves, and when encountering charitable acts, no one hesitated to rush forward, generous and open-hearted, completely free from underhanded behaviors.]

[As such, in the span of one year, the ethos among the people of Taixu Country grew purer, and those riding upon black clouds became one in ten thousand. You've truly gained the sincere support from the citizens of Taixu.]

[After the Taixu National Master's seals were removed, seeing this scene, he was greatly distressed and lamented that the moral climate was improving and the hearts of people were no longer as they once were.]

[From that moment on, you've never again seen the National Master using Flying Clouds to go out.]

[At five years old, the Void Emperor took you on a journey across lands, and you arrived at the Shura Realm, a place you'd never heard of before. The Shura Emperor warmly entertained you.]

[During the banquet, the Shura Emperor suddenly wore a look of distress. After inquiring by the Void Emperor, you learned that the Shura God Child had gone missing.]

[Turns out, the Shura Emperor had a son the same age as you, the Shura God Child. The Shura God Child was a prodigy, skilled in a hundred arts of cultivation, and since youth, he loved adventure.]

[At one year old, he ventured into the Heavenly Spirit Realm with the Four Great Asura Divine Generals, but due to a malfunction in the Transmission Array, they accidentally breached the Heavenly Spirit Divine Emperor's seclusion ground, provoking the wrath of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Emperor who instantly quelled the Four Great Divine Generals. Fortunately, the Shura Emperor arrived just in time to save the Shura God Child from an untimely death.]

[At two years old, the Shura God Child stole the Asura Flag and went to a God Demon Tomb with the revived Four Great Divine Generals. Little did they know, the God Demon entombed there was the Shura Emperor's arch-enemy from the past. Upon breaking the seal, they found themselves embroiled in great trouble.]

[This time, the Four Great Divine Generals fought valiantly with the Asura Flag, allowing the Shura God Child to barely escape with his life.]

[At three years old, after coaxing and playfully wheedling, the Shura God Child finally gained the approval of the Shura Emperor to roam freely in the Shura Realm. The once again revived Four Great Divine Generals loyally guarded him.]

[The Shura God Child found a scroll from the Daoist Collection that detailed a fearsome forbidden technique. Ignoring the Divine Generals' discouragement, the Shura God Child insisted on practicing it but was backlashed by the forbidden technique, drawing down a Divine Thunder from the Great Universe, nearly striking him dead. The Shura Emperor exhausted all his efforts to rescue him.]

[At three and a half years old, grounded at home, he couldn't stand the solitude and decided to conduct research. Ultimately, he devised a Summoning Array.]

[Out of intense curiosity, he prepared offerings, and right after arriving at the Xuantai Universe and mixing into the Bright God Court, Shen Ni was forcedly summoned.]

[Enraged, the Beast Emperor Shen Ni intended to seize the Shura God Child's body, but at the last moment, the two intrinsic Spiritual Treasures fought to protect their master, forcing Shen Ni to retreat.]

[At four years old, the Shura God Child discovered the little Underworld—Jiuyou. As his spirit wandered within it, he was unexpectedly captured by the Reincarnation Saint King. The Shura Emperor, raging, stormed into the Jiuyou World and rescued the Shura God Child.]

[At five years old, having integrated into the high echelons of the Bright God Court, Shen Ni recalled his summoning experience, reenacted the Summoning Array, and teleported the Shura God Child away through the expanse.]

...

[This concludes the present deductions.]

"This Shura God Child is truly having a hard time!" Little Xuanqing revealed to the Void Emperor the outcome deduced by the [Heavenly Venerate Growth System] during the banquet.

The Void Emperor lightly nodded.

He's indeed an unlucky kid, but much more obedient than my A'Xuan.

"Shura Daoist, regarding the whereabouts of the God Child, I've deduced some information," The Void Emperor told the Shura Emperor about the Bright God Court's act of capturing the Ming River.

The Shura Emperor quickly calculated: "Is it really in the Bright God Court?"

The Shura Emperor was immediately anxious.

"This is troublesome now."

The Void Emperor hastily inquired: "Daoist, what's the origin of this Bright God Court?"

With the strength of the Shura Emperor, he could virtually traverse sideways through their Great Universe; yet the mention of the Bright God Court changed his color.

"Daoist is unaware!"

The Shura Emperor shook his head and said: "This Bright God Court is from the Infinite Great Universe (Xuantai Universe), the Supreme Divine Court. Their Supreme Divine Light—the Bright God Emperor has become crazed for some reason, and he's dispatching armies to strike everywhere, invading other worlds."

"Although they have yet to strike our universe, from what I observe, the day when the edge of the Bright God Court points directly at our realm is not far off!"
