Chapter 1155 - 1154 Emperor Haotian
Vast golden radiance surged like a roiling ocean,wave upon wave.
It was an immense tide of law energy in motion.
Hard to imagine who could have condensed so much law.
And there,within that cracked golden immortal source,amid the surging golden divine brilliance.
A tall,slender figure walked forward with unhurried ease,like the son of a god descending upon the mortal world.
He wore a loose white robe,his skin luminous as jade,smoother and more flawless than that of most women.
His features were nothing short of breathtaking perfection.
Aside from Jun Xiaoyao,almost no one could rival his looks.
Even the peerless beauty Yu Hua Wang,standing beside this man,seemed to pale slightly in comparison.
He had long golden hair more radiant than the sun itself,falling straight to his heels,flowing like an immortal's.
In contrast,his eyes were pure silver,as deep and unfathomable as a bright moon.
Golden hair,silver pupils — a born divine being!
Yet what drew the most attention was not his appearance.
It was that innate,lofty bearing that seemed to place him above all else.
He was simply extraordinary.
Almost as though he were heaven's most favored child.
And in his eyes lay a trace of casual indifference,as if nothing in the world truly mattered to him.
It was the arrogance of one who commands all things.
This man was none other than the mysterious ancient young emperor sealed away by the Immortal Court.
Known as the True Dragon of the Immortal Court's Haotian — Di Haotian.
He was the supreme young emperor of a generation within the Immortal Court.
The Yan Yun Eighteen Riders had once been the most dazzling group of prodigies of that era.
Yet they were suppressed single-handedly by Di Haotian,and from then on became his followers.
He,had he not been sealed,was destined to become the master of the Immortal Court in that age.
But he chose to seal himself.
For in Di Haotian's eyes,only a true golden age of glory was worthy of his rise.
And only in this era could he truly reach the end of the road,achieve a supreme and unrivaled existence,and touch the realm of immortality.
He had succeeded.
Or rather.
Almost succeeded.
"A familiar breath of heaven and earth,yet somehow strange — so it really has started over again?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Di Haotian's expression.
Sensing this familiar yet foreign breath of heaven and earth.
Di Haotian felt as though he were drifting through a dream.
Indeed.
He had been reborn back to the starting point where prosperity and chaos intertwined.
Returned from the future to the past!
"Perhaps even heaven itself understood this young emperor's unwillingness — I was clearly just one step away from unraveling the secret of becoming an immortal."
As Di Haotian said this,he produced an ancient artifact from his hand.
It appeared to be a stone disc,carved with numerous ancient,arcane,and intricate patterns.
Like the orbital paths of all the heavens,yet also like an exposition of the supreme truths of heaven and earth.
However,this stone disc was incomplete.
It appeared to be only one quarter of its full size.
"Was it this fragment of the immortal stone disc that caused me to be reborn at the starting point of this great golden age?"
Di Haotian examined the stone disc in his hand.
Being reborn into the past — it was almost inconceivable.
Though some supremely powerful beings could manifest the river of time and years.
And could even project themselves into the past and future.
Yet that was ultimately bound by the constraints of cause and effect — an iron law that could not be changed.
Even the mythic emperors who were qualified to traverse the river of time and grasp past and future would not lightly disturb the law of time.
Doing so would invite unimaginable consequences and backlash.
The price to be paid was something even a mythic emperor might not be able to bear.
And that was merely from interfering with the river of time — the consequences were already that severe.
To say nothing of actually returning from the future to the past.
That would be an utter and complete disruption of cause and effect.
Yet Di Haotian had,against all odds,been reborn at the starting point of this golden age.
"In my past life,I never reached the peak — I fell short halfway,when I was clearly just one door away from unlocking the secret of immortality."
Di Haotian took a deep breath,and as memories of the past flooded back,his emotions surged like the tide.
But what kind of existence was he — his character,his dao heart,could be called flawless perfection.
He could easily keep his emotions in check.
"But it doesn't matter,this fragment of the immortal stone disc has brought me back to the starting point of this great age — this is the will of heaven."
"I am already the young emperor of a generation in the Immortal Court,and now I carry the memories of an entire past life. In this new life,I will seize the initiative and become the one and only protagonist."
Coming from anyone else,these words might have seemed wildly arrogant.
But spoken by Di Haotian,they felt entirely natural — as though they were simply stating fact.
And indeed,Di Haotian possessed three great innate constitution talents,along with the boundless resources of the Immortal Court.
Add to that his experience of a full lifetime,giving him something close to the ability to foresee the future.
Becoming the sole protagonist of this great age was,in truth,no difficult feat.
Just then,several figures flashed into view outside the golden palace hall,entering within.
Upon seeing Di Haotian,they all dropped to one knee in unison.
"Your subordinates pay respects to Young Emperor Haotian!"
These figures were among the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders — those who had broken their seals ahead of the others.
"Mm,what is it?"
Di Haotian's expression was calm,undisturbed.
He already possessed absolute confidence in his ability to command this great age.
"Reporting to Young Emperor Haotian,it is like this…"
One of the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders then relayed various news and developments to Di Haotian.
This included the news that Old Sixteen and the others had been killed by Jun Xiaoyao.
Upon hearing that Old Sixteen and the others had been slain,Di Haotian's expression remained utterly impassive,not the slightest ripple stirring within him.
Though the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders were his followers,in truth they were nothing more than tools in his hands.
"Jun Xiaoyao?"
Di Haotian's brow furrowed slightly.
As someone who had been reborn,he knew certain things about the future.
Yet within his memories of his past life.
The most renowned young members of the Jun family should have been the three — Tianzi Jun Bieli,Renhuang-constitution Jun Moxiao,and double-pupil bearer Jun Lingcang.
They were known as the three young pillars of the Jun family.
And in time,they did indeed become the backbone of the Jun family.
But who was Jun Xiaoyao?
He had no memory of anyone by that name.
Moreover,at this point in time,the hidden branch of the Jun family should not yet have merged with the main branch.
There was also another point — Jun Xiaoyao had annihilated the ultimate calamity.
That was something Di Haotian could not have anticipated at all.
Everything,all of it,had diverged enormously from his memories of his past life.
It was as though some inexplicable existence had interfered with the normal timeline.
By all reasoning,Jun Xiaoyao should not exist.
He was like someone who had simply appeared in this world out of nowhere.
Every change and deviation seemed to originate from this divine son of the Jun family.
This had indeed caught Di Haotian's attention.
"The world as it is now has already diverged greatly from the world in my memories."
"And every change seems to stem from that divine son of the Jun family."
Di Haotian murmured inwardly,sinking into thought.
He possessed tremendous talent and strength,but his mind was no less formidable.
Noticing Di Haotian's somewhat distant expression,one of his followers ventured cautiously,"Young Emperor Haotian?"
"Mm,is there something else?" Di Haotian came back to himself.
His rebirth was a secret belonging to him alone — something he would absolutely never tell another soul.
"The opportunity of the Void Heaven Realm within the Immortal Academy is about to open." the follower said.
"The Void Heaven Realm…" A glint of dark light flashed through Di Haotian's eyes.
In the era before his sealing,he had once entered the Void Heaven Realm.
And it was precisely because of that,that he had by chance obtained this fragment of the immortal stone disc.
"It brings back something of a sense of nostalgia." Di Haotian said lightly.
