Chapter 457: Chapter 46: Divine Tripod of Wushan

Great Xia, Fengju Jade Gate Mountain.

This is the legendary Wushan, also the headquarters of the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches.

It is said that this is the gateway where the sun and moon fall, the place where the Great Witches communicate with heaven and earth for sacrifices.

However, only those who have truly been here know that this Wushan is not a real physical location, but a secret realm similar to the Kunlun Ruins.

But this secret realm was not created by the Gods, but is a fragment of a [Heart Image Barrier] left behind after the second generation Witch King’s death.

At the same time, it is the second Divine Tripod among the Nine Tripods, second only to the [Jianmu Tripod]—the [Wushan Tripod]!

Here, the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred; whatever is willed is obtained.

Theoretically, as long as you have enough authority and imagination, you can create anything you can comprehend here.

It is precisely because of this unique feature that the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches use it as their headquarters.

No matter what research is conducted or what materials are needed...

As long as you have enough imagination and understanding, you can rely on your cognition to create anything that does not originally belong to this world.

Compared to the Soul Jades left by Wu Yao, this place is truly a holy land where wishes come true.

Most importantly, unlike those Soul Jades affected by the Guhuo Bird, the [Wushan Tripod] fulfills wishes without any cost, nor does it risk false guidance.

"Is that the power acquired by the Celestial Erosion Monarch after transitioning to the Path of Celestial and Human?"

Standing on the highest peak of Wushan, Wu Xian gazed at the intermittently bright and dark sun in the sky and couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, the eclipse phenomenon created by the Celestial Erosion Monarch was no longer confined to just one area.

Even as far away as Wushan in Great Xia, they could clearly see the alternation of the sun’s brightness and darkness, the reversal of yin and yang.

Wu Xian even suspected that this eclipse might be global.

No matter where one was, as long as they were still in this world, they could clearly see the eclipse phenomenon in the sky.

"Is now really the time to talk about this?"

With a sudden flick of his sleeve, Wu Ji beside Wu Xian let out a helpless sigh.

The next second, a smooth, bright bronze mirror appeared before them, reflecting the battle happening deep within the East Sea.

Like being there in person, it offered an absolutely comprehensive third-person perspective of the battle.

The battle between the Celestial Erosion Monarch and Shaohao clearly exceeded Wu Ji’s understanding.

The Celestial Erosion Monarch was understandable; after all, he was a half-friend of the Celestial Being, even charting a unique understanding on the Path of Celestial and Human.

That power of controlling yin and yang was naturally a dominion above ordinary deities.

What’s more, the current Celestial Erosion Monarch was not in his usual state, but was the result of being armed and strengthened by Li Boyang.

That Civil and Military Sleeve attire was not just a mere change of clothing.

The black and white armor itself was a materialization of yin yang qi.

Any spell attack that struck that armor would be transformed, decomposed, and absorbed into the power of the Celestial Erosion Monarch, akin to a "spell immunity" version of the Star Absorption Technique.

If Shaohao rashly chose close combat using physical attacks.

The half-body brocade robe draped over the armor would suffice to demonstrate the futility of his strength.

Because that half-body brocade robe was also a Magical Treasure crafted by Li Boyang.

It possessed abilities similar to the Celestial Maiden Feather Robe, capable of transforming into a flexible binding at crucial moments to entangle the opponent.

Yet, even in such circumstances, Shaohao was still able to hold his ground against the Celestial Erosion Monarch.

This seemed somewhat enigmatic to Wu Ji.

Why could a Ghost God, dead for thousands of years, stand against the fully-powered Celestial Erosion Monarch?

"That Shaohao has clearly turned into a Ghost God, so how can he still harness the power of the sun?"

The Feathered Serpent God in the bronze mirror spread its wings, and the feathers it released instantly transformed into countless golden feathered serpents, surging toward the Celestial Erosion Monarch like homing missiles.

The continuous bombardments and explosions were clearly transmitted to Wushan, even through the bronze mirror.

That was the power of solar fusion, the Taiyang authority that Shaohao should have lost upon his death.

"We underestimated the influence of that Celestial Being..."

At this moment, Wu Xian finally spoke again.

"It seems even in the Underworld, the path of Celestial and Human he pioneered is replacing the mainstream."

As these words came out, Wu Ji immediately realized.

That Shaohao, too, had turned to the Celestial Human Technique with his Ghost God body, allowing him to reclaim his pre-death identity as the Sun God.

No, Shaohao was not currently the Sun God.

He was merely cultivating the Taiyang Essence Qi using the sun’s power.

For ordinary cultivators, cultivating Taiyang Essence Qi would require unimaginable time and effort.

But Shaohao, having been the Sun God in life,

Re-cultivating Taiyang Essence Qi was simply retracing the path of his past life.

Once he possessed the Taiyang Essence Qi, the corresponding Divine Techniques and spells did not need further practice; he could naturally wield them.

"No wonder he lurked for so many years, it was to regain the power of the Sun God."

Though he understood what had happened with Shaohao.

Wu Ji still found it hard to accept that a Ghost God could wield the power of the Sun God.

Even if the opponent had been the strongest sun thousands of years ago, it didn’t explain how he resolved the conflict between Ghost God and Sun God’s powers.

"That’s what makes the Path of Celestial and Human so miraculous."

"Turning the impossible possible, breaking all established conventions..."

"Even the weakest ant can possess strength rivaling the Gods."

Speaking such words, Wu Xian’s gaze never left the battle reflected in the bronze mirror.

Whether it was Shaohao or the Celestial Erosion Monarch...

Their current display of power utilization was gradually reshaping the world’s conventions and perceptions.

Wu Xian believed he was not the only one observing this battle now.

Anyone in this world capable of noticing this battle would draw inspiration, enlightenment, and gain from it.

This is the impact brought about by an era of great contention and monumental change.

After being harvested by Wu Yi, ancient forces that hindered the world’s progress had inevitably declined.

Whether it was the new generation or the ancient entities that survived by luck, all would become the driving force for progressing the world.

After all, in any era, it is an unchanging truth that those who fall behind get beaten.

Those ancient beings who have already suffered once might seek breakthroughs even more actively than the new generation.

"And that Celestial Being?"

"What is he doing now, why hasn’t he intervened?"

Unbeknownst to Wu Ji, Shaohao and the Celestial Erosion Monarch’s battle had entered a stalemate; his brows furrowed tighter.

"Is he intentionally allowing the battle’s intensity to escalate?"
