Chapter 43: I, Xia Tian, Shall Become the First Human Emperor!
“Senior brother, I plan to journey east and see if I can persuade the Golden Crow Prince to join our Western Sect. If successful, our sect will undoubtedly flourish further,” Zhunti said, rising to his feet.
His intent was clear—to visit the Human Clan’s Sacred Hall and attempt to convince Xia Tian to join the Western Sect. If persuasion failed, Zhunti did not rule out using his Saintly powers to influence Xia Tian.
“Be cautious, younger brother. Do not resort to force; otherwise, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa will not stand idly by,” Jieyin warned with a nod.
Zhunti acknowledged the advice and disappeared from Mount Ling in a single step.
Meanwhile, Xia Tian, far away in the Human Clan’s Sacred Hall, remained blissfully unaware that his ascension to the Da Luo realm had already attracted the attention of the Sages. Even more concerning was that one of them, Zhunti, was already en route to recruit him into the Western Sect.
Had Xia Tian known, he would undoubtedly have cursed aloud:
“Like hell I want to be a monk!”
Yet, had he realised the true gravity of the situation, Xia Tian might have panicked. The power of the Saints was unimaginable, and even as a Da Luo, he understood the terrifying might of these beings.
While Da Luo beings were eternal and unkillable within the myriad worlds, a Saint could suppress a Da Luo by severing their connection to their Dao. Though not death in the conventional sense, the time it would take for the Da Luo to return would be so immeasurable it might as well be eternal annihilation.
If Xia Tian knew that Zhunti was on his way, he might have fled the Primordial World altogether, sought refuge in the gates of the cosmos, or even begged for Nuwa’s protection.
For Xia Tian, stability was paramount, and risk was not an option. His choice to ascend to Da Luo in the Nine Provinces World rather than the Primordial World was a testament to this cautious nature. However, while his ascension had eluded the notice of most mighty beings, it had not escaped the Sages. The Da Luo energy that connected him to the Primordial World’s Great Dao had inevitably drawn their attention.
Blissfully unaware of these developments, Xia Tian was currently immersed in the marvel of his transformation. The power of Da Luo coursed through him, allowing his gaze to encompass the infinite dimensions and timelines of the Primordial World in an instant.
Each second, he felt himself growing exponentially stronger—infinitely so. At this level, no being beneath a Saint could hope to challenge a Da Luo. To a Da Luo, even the most powerful innate Dao Lords were no more significant than specks of dust.
A mere thought from Xia Tian could erase an innate Dao Lord from the endless timelines, erasing them entirely from existence.
This was the unfathomable might of Da Luo—a power that ruled unchallenged across the myriad worlds.
“Greetings, Sacred Master!” The humans gathered within the Sacred Hall bowed deeply as Xia Tian appeared.
He nodded in acknowledgement. Within the hall, many humans sat before a massive stone tablet, studying it intently. This tablet, imbued with the Dao inheritance of the Golden Crow Clan, had been placed here by Xia Tian to aid the humans in their cultivation.
Under its influence, their strength and cultivation levels were advancing rapidly.
As Xia Tian observed the flourishing vitality of the Human Clan and the subtle rise of human destiny, a thought stirred within him.
“If I were to unify the Human Clan, establish an empire, and become the Emperor of all humanity, would I gain access to the Human Dao?”
His gaze sharpened as he contemplated the mysterious changes within the triadic paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.
Being the Sacred Master of the Human Clan was no longer enough for Xia Tian. His ambitions had grown. He desired to unify the entire Human Clan, founding a vast imperial dynasty and becoming the first Emperor of humanity in the Primordial World—its very first Human Emperor.
“However, my current revealed cultivation as a Golden Immortal is too weak. At the very least, I must display the strength of an innate Dao Lord to command the Human Clan,” Xia Tian resolved.
He wasted no time.
Boom!
In an instant, a grand and boundless aura erupted from Xia Tian, stirring the winds and clouds across the Primordial World and manifesting the Great Dao itself.
Around him, worlds were born and annihilated in cycles. Small, medium, and large worlds appeared behind him, forming a vast and ancient sea of spacetime that floated in the boundless void—a sight of unimaginable grandeur.
In a thunderous moment, Xia Tian’s essence transcended dimensions, radiating the aura of one who existed before the heavens themselves.
What is innate? To exist before the heavens, to predate the creation of the cosmos itself—this is innate.
As an innate Dao Lord, Xia Tian’s very being surpassed the realms of individual worlds, aligning with the status of a multiversal entity. His grasp over the myriad Daos further enhanced his already vast power.
With a single strike, he could create three thousand grand worlds—each spanning immeasurable distances. Even the smallest of these worlds would encompass countless light years, while a complete one would approach an infinite expanse.
A single innate Dao Lord could claim dominion over any multiverse, asserting themselves as a prime force within it.
With the revelation of Xia Tian’s innate Dao Lord strength, the entire Human Clan was shaken.
From every corner of the clan, leaders of major tribes and the Three Progenitors of humanity made their way to the Sacred Hall to witness this unprecedented transformation.
