Chapter 1036: The Birth of a New Saint

Huang Long swiftly arrived at the secret chamber beneath the Huang Long Palace.
This Huang Long Palace was already equipped with prohibitive spells, but Huang Long remained cautious and placed additional layers of restrictions around the secret chamber. Only after feeling secure did he stop and summon the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, entering it.
Sitting at the center of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron’s formation, Huang Long did not rush to sever his three corpses. Instead, he sat in meditation, delving into the great truths taught by the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord over the millennia.
Since Huang Long and the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord were both golden dragons, understanding the Sacred Dragon Way taught by the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord came much more easily, accelerating the growth of his soul and mental realm by leaps and bounds.
Within the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, a million years passed in the blink of an eye. Huang Long had sat there for a million years.
One day, Huang Long suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze blazing intensely, causing the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron to tremble.
With a wave of his hands, two jade bottles appeared before him—one blue and one gold. The blue bottle contained the Wanluo Divine Water, while the golden bottle held a drop of the Sacred King’s essence blood.
With another wave of his hands, Huang Long drew out the two drops. The blue and golden liquids broke free from the bottles’ restrictions and flew out. As they emerged, the entire space of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron was enveloped in blue and golden light.
In particular, the golden light emanating from the drop of Sacred King’s essence blood seemed to pierce through the space of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron and reach the heights of the Mighty Dragon World.
The overwhelming power and pressure nearly suffocated Huang Long, forcing him to kneel.
The space of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, as if made of paper, began to crack!
This was the power of the Sacred King’s essence blood!
The might of a saint contained within it!
Although Huang Long had anticipated the great power and pressure inherent in the Sacred King’s essence blood, he had not expected it to be so immense!
Yet soon, he was overjoyed: “This is definitely not the essence blood of a Supreme Hunyuan Sacred King warrior—it must be that of a Hunyuan Unity Sacred King warrior!”
According to the scriptures left by the Hongmeng Sacred King, the essence blood of a Supreme Hunyuan Sacred King warrior certainly did not possess such overwhelming power and pressure!
“Good, good! I never expected it to be the essence blood of a Hunyuan Unity Sacred King warrior!” Huang Long’s eyes shone brightly as he smiled. Initially, he had no certainty of breaking through to the early stage of the Supreme Hunyuan realm, but now he was confident!
Huang Long activated the Sacred Dragon Way taught by the Golden Dragon Sacred Lord, opened his mouth, and absorbed both the Wanluo Divine Water and the Sacred King’s essence blood into his body.
The moment he absorbed them, an extremely powerful surge rushed through every corner of his body.

At the same time, a cool river continuously helped melt this torrent into the Yellow Dragon’s soul and physical body. Under the effect of the Divine Water of Ten Thousand Luo, the Sacred King’s essence gradually transformed into the Yellow Dragon’s true power. Yet even so, the Yellow Dragon felt as though its body was about to be torn apart, as if countless giant hands were constantly pulling at it from within. Fortunately, the Yellow Dragon had mastered the Supreme Refinement Art to its peak, allowing it to persevere through gritted teeth. As the Yellow Dragon absorbed that drop of the Sacred King’s essence, both its physical body and soul underwent transformation. Its sea of soul was filled with golden light. The green glow of the World Tree alternated with this golden light, creating a dazzling display. Suddenly, the entire body of the Yellow Dragon flashed with light, and the Spirit Jade flew out from within it. Now, the Yellow Dragon intended to use the Spirit Jade to slay its third corpse! The first corpse was the Evil Corpse, the second was the Good Corpse, and the third was its own self! The Yellow Dragon had to sever its own self to completely break free from the constraints of the Great Path and merge its soul with the Great Path in order to achieve enlightenment. This self was the hardest to slay—the will and strength required to do so were greater than those needed to slay the Evil Corpse and the Good Corpse combined! At that moment, auspicious clouds appeared atop the Yellow Dragon’s head, above which sat its Evil Corpse and Good Corpse, both of which also emitted glowing light. Ten thousand years passed, then twenty thousand years—before suddenly, ten hundred thousand years had gone by. Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, followed by a figure identical to the Yellow Dragon’s true body flying out from atop its head. This figure was none other than the Yellow Dragon’s own self! However, unlike its Evil Corpse and Good Corpse, this figure remained a mere illusion, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment. If it collapsed, the Yellow Dragon’s attempt to slay the three corpses would fail, and it would instead suffer the backlash of the Great Path, with predictable consequences. Just as this figure seemed about to collapse like a flickering candle flame, green lights surged upward from within the Yellow Dragon’s soul—these lights were emitted by the World Tree. Then, golden lights flashed within the Yellow Dragon’s body. The light from the Self Corpse burst forth, and the illusion transformed gradually into a solid form. When the Self Corpse became solid and took its place atop the auspicious clouds on the Yellow Dragon’s head, the Evil Corpse, Good Corpse, and Self Corpse all suddenly spun upward and merged together. When the three corpses merged into a single stream of golden light, it flew into the Yellow Dragon’s sea of soul and completely merged with it! Then, the Yellow Dragon’s sea of soul seemed to be struck by a violent force, surging thousands of feet high in an instant.

At the same time, the entire vast void suddenly changed, with rays of auspicious light piercing down and enveloping the Sea of the Yellow Dragon’s Soul. Within these rays of light, the Sea of the Yellow Dragon’s Soul and the World Tree began to transform. The golden light of the Sea of the Yellow Dragon’s Soul transformed into a multicolored glow, while the trunk of the World Tree grew larger and thicker, its emerald light intensifying even more. At this moment, colorful showers of flowers began to fall in every corner of the three thousand great worlds across the universe, with countless golden lotuses emerging from the ground of each world. All the powerful warriors and sages in these three thousand great worlds witnessed this celestial phenomenon. “This… this is attaining sainthood! Someone in the three thousand great worlds has once again achieved sainthood!” “How many eras have passed since the last time? Over thirty eras, right?!” “Who could it be?! Is it Qing Cang, the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect? Or Fa Tian, the eldest disciple of the Treasure Sage? Or Gu Han from the Infinite Gate? Or Ni Cang Lu, the Holy Son of the Ten Thousand Demons?!” The numerous powerful warriors in the three thousand great worlds were all shocked by this celestial phenomenon, discussing it fervently and speculating endlessly. Whenever a new sage emerged in the universe, such a phenomenon would occur in the three thousand great worlds. The birth of a sage was a major event that shook the universe! In a palace floating in the central great world, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a youthful face suddenly opened his eyes. Within those eyes, the workings of heaven and earth were depicted—countless stars and moons rising and setting, all aspects of yin and yang, heaven and earth, contained within them! The man’s eyes pierced through the central great world and then scanned the three thousand great worlds, as if nothing could escape his gaze.
