Chapter 56 Emperor 1's Martial Arts Demonstration
Haotian was not in a hurry to begin refining the Yang God.
This is the Netherworld, the sacred ground of Lady Pingxin, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation is the very foundation of the primordial world. To cultivate a Yang Spirit is unprecedented; he has no idea what phenomena or disturbances will arise. If he were to disrupt the cycle of reincarnation, that would be disastrous.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Haotian bowed to Lady Pingxin.
Pingxin nodded slightly, his gaze scrutinizing her, and said calmly, "Has the Heavenly Emperor gained anything from comprehending the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
Haotian laughed and said, "I have benefited greatly. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never break my promise. I will send people to assist in the construction of the Underworld; I will also personally arrange the Wu Clan's conquest of the other world."
Pingxin nodded, her expression softening slightly: "That's good then. When the Heavenly Emperor leaves, take Xingtian and the others with you as well."
Haotian was not surprised by this, as it was something that had already been agreed upon. He raised his hand and waved, and a beam of authority entered into Lady Pingxin's body—that was the authority of the Earth Goddess Houtu.
Now that an alliance has been formed, how can there be no power or authority?
Haotian initially felt that this power was somewhat useless to Lady Pingxin, since it overlapped with her own power. She already controlled the Netherworld, so what use did she have for the power? Giving it to her rashly would only make it seem like he had ulterior motives.
But things are different now. This authority can break through all barriers, which makes all the difference—it must be added, as it might come in handy sometime.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave," Haotian said.
Pingxin didn't try to stop him, and said calmly, "Farewell, Heavenly Emperor."
Haotian, accompanied by Xingtian, Jiufeng, and several other great witches, quickly disappeared into the Netherworld.

The Heavenly Court, the First Heaven.
As soon as Haotian returned, he sensed intense energy fluctuations emanating from the depths of the First Heaven. He led the great witches straight there, where they saw five figures locked in fierce combat in the void.
One of them was none other than Emperor Yi, who had just been resurrected by Haotian—the former Corpse Immortal Emperor, now the Guardian Emperor of the First Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
The other four are Zhao Gongming and three female immortals, who are Zhao Gongming's three younger sisters—Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.
After his resurrection, Emperor Yi's strength was so great that he was unmatched among quasi-saints. Not only was his physical body comparable to a supreme innate treasure, making him indestructible, but he also had the power of a world from the first heaven as his backing.
In addition, with the cultivation cheat device—the Original True Understanding—which allows him to quickly comprehend the fundamental logic of how all things operate, his cultivation of the Great Dao is increasing at a visible rate.
Moreover, Di Yi possesses the complete Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, which he can wield with ease and whose power is boundless.
Although Zhao Gongming also used the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, it was worlds apart from the original version used by Di Yi. The latter was as powerful as thunder, agile and graceful, while the former, although not much different in power, was ultimately clumsy.
Haotian could sense that Di Yi's strength was rapidly increasing under the siege of the four—he was clearly using these four as sparring partners and wasn't really going all out.

Bixiao, being the most impatient, unleashed her Golden Dragon Scissors. The scissors transformed into two golden dragons, baring their fangs and claws, and lunged at Di Yi to kill him.
Di Yi remained calm and composed, transforming into a five-clawed true dragon, its entire body radiating golden light and exuding a majestic dragon aura. With a flick of its tail, it struck the two dragons formed from the Golden Dragon Scissors, causing them to howl in agony as they were sent flying.
At the same time, the dragon's claws shot out, striking towards Qiongxiao and Bixiao. The two women quickly dodged, but Qiongxiao, who was a step slower, was sent flying by the dragon's claws. Fortunately, Di Yibing did not use his full strength; he only knocked her back, and she was not injured.
Upon seeing this, Yunxiao frowned slightly and summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.
The golden cauldron shone brilliantly, and an immense suction force emanated from it, attempting to pull Di Yi into it. Di Yi's massive dragon body struggled fiercely in the void, whipping its tail and waving its claws, yet it was unable to escape the suction force for the time being.
Zhao Gongming's eyes lit up, and a rope flew out from his sleeve—the Dragon Binding Rope! The rope coiled up like a serpent, binding Di Yi's dragon body tightly.
"Opportunity!" Zhao Gongming shouted, and all twenty-four Dinghai Pearls flew out at once, their five-colored rays illuminating the void, carrying the power of space as they smashed towards Di Yi.
Not to be outdone, the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique transformed into a thunderous warhammer, unleashing a torrent of thunder and lightning, crashing down upon Emperor Yi.
Di Yi's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly struggled—the Dragon Binding Rope revealed an opening! Immediately afterward, he withdrew the True Dragon Treasure Technique and used the Cricket Treasure Technique.
Time and space froze in that instant.
The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl hovered in mid-air, the lightning froze in the void, and all attacks seemed to have been paused.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Di Yi flashed forward, unleashing the Kunpeng Speed, transforming into a streak of light, barely avoiding the bombardment range of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Divine Thunder.
boom--
The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl crashed into the void, unleashing tremendous force that shattered the space itself.
A barrage of lightning struck, blasting the void into a sea of thunder. But Di Yi had already escaped unscathed.
"Excellent!" Bi Xiao couldn't help but praise, her eyes filled with excitement. To be able to withstand the attack of four people with ease, this Emperor Yi's strength was truly unfathomable.
Next, the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques appeared one after another in Di Yi's hands—the Heavenly Phoenix, the Qilin, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, the God-Slaying Stone... Each one was used with exquisite skill, and he fought against Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals.
Although Emperor Yi did not use his full strength, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao also did not set up the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. Both sides held back, and the battle was evenly matched. However, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of Sanxiao were ultimately inferior to Emperor Yi in cultivation. In the end, they were gradually suppressed by Emperor Yi and could only struggle to hold on.

Xing Tian and the other great shamans stood aside, their eyes shining.
The mighty and domineering True Dragon Treasure Technique, the swift and agile Kunpeng, the mysterious and unpredictable Gu Treasure Technique... every move and every stance is full of the perfect combination of power and Tao, which is simply too much in line with the aesthetics of their Wu Clan!
Xing Tian clenched his fists, his blood boiling, eager to immediately step onto the stage and have a match with Di Yi.
Haotian glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't rush, there's plenty of time for you to spar."
Xing Tian was taken aback, then clasped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Although he was anxious, he knew his limits. He had long been convinced of Haotian's strength; moreover, Lady Pingxin had instructed him to obey the Heavenly Emperor's orders and to do everything for the sake of the Wu Clan.
Haotian withdrew his gaze and looked at the arena. The battle between Di Yi, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Immortals was still ongoing, fierce but without any real danger.
A slight smile played on his lips; he already had a plan in mind.
Emperor Yi's strength was even greater than he had anticipated. With him guarding the First Heaven, the gates of the Heavenly Court were as impregnable as a rock.
As for the great witches like Xing Tian—let them spar with the Emperor; this will not only hone their combat skills but also win over his heart, achieving two goals at once.
"Let's continue watching," Haotian said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back.
The great shamans held their breath and watched this rare martial arts demonstration intently.
