[Wedge] The Rebirth of Emperors
This was a mottled world. Heaven and Earth had collapsed, and time had intersected between them.
The Phoenix shaped wild wind howled, and the golden dragon-shaped blood mist spiraled in the air.
Occasionally, black sand and rocks would rise up from the ground and take the shape of a person. Occasionally, there would be giant bone riots that would howl towards the sky and shake the earth.
Here, there were many forms of address.
The Ancestral Land of Humans. The Graveyard of Gods and Devils. The land of death …
There were more than twenty figures sitting cross-legged on an altar shrouded in seven-colored light. Their expressions were all extremely nervous.
Every time the altar lit up, it was as if they were transported through time and space.
They saw a giant black monster fly over the sky. It covered the sky wherever it passed.
They saw that the human-shaped creature that looked like a mountain had two wings and three pupils. It was looking disdainfully in every direction.
As the rainbow colored light faded, the twenty-odd silhouettes disappeared without a trace, along with the tranquility of this world.
In order to break through the shackles of heaven and earth, the emperors had joined forces to charge into the ultimate death trap, opening the ancient altar for the ancient natives in order to live a new life and reach the peak of martial dao.
With the rebirth of the emperors, a grand era had arrived.
However, would the ones who had stirred up the world in this era be these reborn emperors?

Mysterious Sky Sect, back mountain, Redwood Fruit Forest.
Wu Zhengyang was holding a blood-red wooden fruit in his hand, lying on the ground with lifeless eyes.
Around him, the Redwood Fruit forest was bright red. Every Scarlet Wood Fruit was as big as a human fist, and the Scarlet Wood Fruit in his hand was also the size of a fist. It was only the fist of a newborn baby.
He had managed the Red Wood Orchard for more than half a year, and now he had obtained such an immature top-quality product. Wu Zhengyang really wanted to laugh out loud.
The Crimson Wood Fruit was one of the spirit fruits of the world. After consuming it, one could stimulate the zhenqi within one's body to step into the Pulse Refinement Realm and become a Martial Disciple, truly stepping onto the path of cultivation.
However, even if it was a top grade spirit fruit, it was impossible to guarantee that it would be able to stimulate true qi with one's life, much less this defective fruit that would fall to the ground before it matured.
As a new service disciple of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Wu Zhengyang was not someone who liked to show off his ability.
Wu Zhengyang had been wholeheartedly managing the Red Wood Orchard for almost a year. He had only hoped to be able to step onto the martial path through the Red Wood Fruit.
Holding the unripe Crimson Wood Fruit, Wu Zhengyang could only feel a bright future ahead of him. It was so bright that he could not see the direction.
In the end, Wu Zhengyang lifted up the Red Wood Fruit, looked at it with his listless eyes and gave a faint smile. Then, he threw the fruit into his mouth.
"Pop …"
The Redwood Fruit suddenly burst out from the middle. The juice that was like blood splattered all over Wu Zhengyang's face.
"Haha …"
This time, Wu Zhengyang laughed out loud.
The last sliver of hope had been destroyed, and it had been destroyed in such a baffling manner. Anger struck Wu Zhengyang's heart, and he was laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
An indescribable sense of sorrow was born in Wu Zhengyang's heart.
No one could understand what a Scarlet Wood Fruit represented to Wu Zhengyang. There were many things that were more important than his own life. They were worth giving up everything for.
And now, Wu Zhengyang's last sliver of hope was gone.
In the midst of his laughter, Wu Zhengyang recalled the scenes of his growing up. He was submissive and kind, but he could not change anything in the end.
Suddenly, Wu Zhengyang's laughter stopped.
After the Crimson Wood Fruit exploded, his hands were still clenched in midair, and a pitch-black vortex appeared in front of his palm.
It was a very strange scene. A black whirlpool appeared out of nowhere and floated in the air. Black light circulated and revolved around it, making Wu Zhengyang open his eyes wide in shock.
As if Wu Zhengyang had lost his soul, he slowly sat up with his hands supporting his body. His eyes and the black vortex came closer and closer, until they were almost touching.
A golden glow flowed out from the black whirlpool and flowed into Wu Zhengyang's eyes. However, Wu Zhengyang didn't notice it and maintained his sitting posture.
The sky gradually turned dark, and the entire Red Wood Orchid Garden was covered by the night sky. The only thing that could be seen was the flashing of the golden light threads, which were reflected on Wu Zhengyang's bloody red face. Luckily, no one would come here in the middle of the night, otherwise, they would have been scared half to death by this strange scene.
After an unknown period of time, Wu Zhengyang woke up from his deep slumber and saw that the clouds had already turned red. He then realized that he had actually spent the entire night here.
Standing up, Wu Zhengyang felt like he had changed. He was exhausted, but his spirit was in an unprecedented state.
The most important thing was, when he thought about the Red Wood Fruit that was given to him yesterday and that vortex that appeared out of nowhere, Wu Zhengyang's emotions did not fluctuate much. Perhaps this was the change in his state of mind after experiencing despair.
Wiping his face and brushing off the dirt on his body, Wu Zhengyang started walking down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there weren't many buildings, only a pitch black cave. This was where the service disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sect lived.
Even if it was such a place, it wasn't something that one could live in as one pleases. If one didn't activate their innate true qi within a year, they would be kicked out of the Mysterious Sky Sect. There would be another group of guests here.
When he returned to the cave he was in, the people inside were all full of passion as they sat cross-legged on the ground to cultivate.
They had all eaten the Redwood Fruit last night, so this was the best time to try and stimulate their innate true qi.
"Yo, isn't this Wu Zhengyang who manages the Red Wood Orchard? You managed the Red Wood Orchard took so much effort, you didn't come back for the whole night."
"Of course, I got such a big Crimson Wood Fruit yesterday, how could I not perform well?"
Amongst the two eerie voices, one was called Yue Liqing and the other was called Liu Tiancheng.
Yue Liqing's family elder, who was an inner elder brother of Liu Tiancheng, was an outer disciple of the Black Heaven Sect, and an elite disciple with high hopes of entering the inner sect.
After the two of them entered the Profound Heaven Sect, although they wanted to live in caves and become service disciples, they had new bedding and all kinds of equipment.
Just yesterday, Yue Liqing had given Liu Tiancheng the biggest Crimson Wood Fruit and a second one from Liu Tiancheng's brother, Liu Tianli.
Under these conditions, they naturally felt a sense of superiority, and wouldn't be associated with those disciples who didn't know when they would be chased out.
This was not the first time he mocked and ridiculed her.
Wu Zhengyang, who had always been the amiable one, did not say a word. They just laughed a little and left.
Wu Zhengyang still did not speak today. It was not because of kindness, but because he was too lazy to care.
However, today's matter did not end because of this.
He came to Wu Zhengyang with a pair of cloth boots and said, "Yesterday, I went to the Redwood Orchard where you managed the distribution for the Crimson Wood Fruit, even my boots were stained, it should be your fault. Go, clean up my boots, you don't need to waste your time to stimulate your Zhen Qi, in the next month, I will wait on you, maybe I will be happy one day and give you a Crimson Wood Fruit!"
With that, Yue Liqing handed the boots over to Wu Zhengyang!
If it was before, even if Yue Liqing looked down on others, she would not be so arrogant.
No one could guarantee who would enter the sect eventually, and what kind of achievements they would have. If Wu Zhengyang happened to enter the sect and was on the same level as them, then the gains would not make up for the losses.
However, today was different from the past. Wu Zhengyang's innate talent was ordinary, and he had also distributed such an immature Red Wood Fruit yesterday. Everyone was sure that he would not be able to trigger his innate Zhen Qi, so Yue Liqing no longer had any scruples.
"Scram!" Wu Zhengyang shouted angrily.
Wu Zhengyang was too lazy to bother about Yue Liqing and Liu Tiancheng's teasing, but towards the bullying that was even more severe, Wu Zhengyang could no longer swallow his anger and humiliation. Yesterday's despair had already made Wu Zhengyang deeply realize that in this world, tolerating might bring about sympathy, but not respect.
When Wu Zhengyang opened his mouth, Yue Liqing and Liu Tiancheng were stunned. The other disciples in the cave were also stunned.
"What did you say?" I didn't hear you clearly, so I'll say it again. "
Yue Liqing still had the smile on her face when she spoke, but this smile had already turned stiff.
"This kid must have eaten that immature Red Wood Fruit yesterday to be a fool!" Liu Tiancheng said with a face of disbelief.
Wu Zhengyang was too lazy to bother with the two and went to his seat to take a seat.
"I say, brat, your guts have increased. I told you to repeat what you said just now, did you hear me!?" When Yue Liqing saw that Wu Zhengyang did not bother with him, he threw down his cloth boots and ran over to Wu Zhengyang, forcing him to ask.
"Scram!" Wu Zhengyang repeated what he wanted.
"You are asking for a beating!" "Then I'll fulfill your wish." Yue Liqing was enraged, he raised his fist and punched towards Wu Zhengyang's face.
The reason why Yue Liqing was not in a hurry to cultivate was actually because he had activated his Innate True Qi long ago. Yesterday, when he was given the biggest Crimson Wood Fruit, it was only because the outer sect manager wanted to use this last chance to curry favor with Yue Liqing, the clan's elder.
After stimulating his life's true qi into the Pulse Refinement Realm, he had truly stepped onto the martial path to become a Martial Disciple, and the Martial Disciple was divided into nine stars. Although Yue Liqing was only at the initial stage of a 1-star Martial Disciple, it was still something ordinary people could not compare with.
Faced with Yue Liqing's fist, Wu Zhengyang actually could not dodge it. However, when Yue Liqing came over, Wu Zhengyang knew that things could not get better, and his hands were already ready to strike. Although he could not dodge it, he placed his hands in front of his chest.
"Bang …"
Yue Liqing's sharp and fierce punch landed solidly on Wu Zhengyang's hand, and then on Wu Zhengyang's forehead, and directly smashed Wu Zhengyang who was sitting there down on the ground.
The top of Wu Zhengyang's head was plastered against the ice-cold stone; his hands were still pressed against his forehead, motionlessly.
"Amazing, Brother Yue. That punch of yours knocked the brat unconscious. " Seeing Wu Zhengyang lying on the ground and not getting up, Liu Tiancheng complimented Yue Liqing with a smile.
Wu Zhengyang did not lose consciousness. He just stood there in a daze.
When Yue Liqing's fist landed on his hand, he actually felt his whole body feeling comfortable … …
