We agreed to go to Taishan Sect and you will pull the coffin for me.

Chapter 346 Returning to Shrouding the Heavens, the Peak of the Golden Age

In the small altar of guidance.

Several great immortal artifacts fell into slumber, using the power of the Eternal Immortal Court to repair themselves.

Outside, the struggle between the distorted program and the remnants of Xuan Tian has come to an end. Neither side could defeat the other, and the conflict has subsided, temporarily coming to a close.

Both sides are accelerating their efforts to seize power in the Eternal Immortal Court and are each seeking to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. Whoever advances first will gain the upper hand.

The Twisted Program is supreme in nature. After seizing Xuan Tian's pure Yang primordial spirit, it had already reached the peak of the Immortal King level. Now, it has devoured a part of the World Tree, and its chances of breaking through are very high. The remnants of Xuan Tian should not be underestimated either. Sitting in the Treasure Hall, even if it is only opening one layer of the treasure vault, it is still an infinite creation, not to mention that there are still strange sources remaining.

Lu Heng felt heavy-hearted. Time was of the essence. He quietly activated the power of the small altar of guidance. The white jade altar burst forth with brilliant light, and a guiding force rose from all directions, pointing directly at the billions of star vortexes above his head, including the universe that blots out the sky, fragments of the immortal realm, and other realms.

Finally, he seemed to ascend to heaven in broad daylight, rising from the ground amidst a shower of celestial light, his figure vanishing without a trace, disappearing into that world's spacetime.

In the vast universe, Lu Heng quietly returned to his Daoist temple. His gaze pierced through the heavens and the earth. The universe was calm, with only the majestic and domineering Dao of the Nine Nether Emperor reigning supreme over the universe.

More than a thousand years have passed.

Lu Heng quickly calculated and understood the timeline. The thousand years he spent in the Small Guiding Altar were controlled by the altar's time system. Therefore, although he actually spent thousands of years, the timeline between the Celestial Shroud and Blue Star was only a little over a thousand years.

Of course, it was consistent before, but now he has taken the initiative to have the Receiving Altar readjust the time, so that the time ratio between the Shrouding Heaven Universe and the Eternal Immortal Court is almost 100:1.

One hundred years in the world of "Covering the Sky" corresponds to one year in the timeline where the Celestial Court is located.

There was no other way; the transformation on the path to immortality in the mortal world was too long, often taking millions of years, so they had to speed up the pace.

He didn't have this ability in his previous life's soul state; it was more like a mere accessory of the Lesser Guiding Altar. It wasn't until after reincarnation and ascending to the quasi-immortal king realm that he was able to control it.

Lu Heng wanted to speed it up, but it seemed impossible. The energy level of the universe was very high, with residual power of Immortal Emperor level experts. A small guiding altar alone was insufficient. Unless he continued to control more authority until he completely took control of the guiding altar, distorting spacetime would be a piece of cake.

For over a thousand years, no one has disturbed Lu Heng.

For a supreme being, it is normal to go into seclusion for more than a thousand years.

Lu Heng gazed at the endless star field, silently collecting information from the past few years. The Golden Age had reached its zenith.

Ye Fan had already achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body a thousand years ago, which shook the universe. He constantly challenged the forbidden zones to hone his skills. He even found one or two opportunities to force the Dark Supreme to reach the ultimate sublimation, and at his peak, he killed the opponent.

At that time, Ye Fan pacified the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, defeated the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, and went deep into the Underworld to kill the Prison Suppressor Emperor. He almost triggered a riot among the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone, but he was completely defeated when he sensed the gazes of several Heavenly Emperors and twenty Great Emperor Supreme Beings from the Heavenly Court.

Now that the ancient forbidden zones have been cleared, the Undying Mountain and the Reincarnation Sea have been pacified, leaving only the four forbidden zones: the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Divine Ruins, the Upper Heaven, and the Immortal Tomb.

These forbidden zones could be predicted by the great emperors, but they did not take action, leaving them all for the younger generation to hone their skills.

Following closely behind Ye Fan was Ye Xiaju, whose innate sacred body Dao embryo had reached its peak. Both father and son were focused on the forbidden zone of life, attempting to force one or two ancient dark emperors to reappear and elevate their own Dao in the fierce battle.

This enraged the Forbidden Zone of Life, and filled the Dark Supreme with sorrow. He knew all too well that he had become a sparring partner and stepping stone for a junior. When had the Ancient Emperor Heavenly Venerable ever been so pathetic?

The Heavenly Court stands tall, and the mortal path to immortality leads directly to the highest realm. If all else fails, one can enter a strange world, but the idea of ​​fighting one's way into the Immortal Realm and becoming an immortal has become a joke. Someone heard the Supreme One roar: "I don't believe it! Throughout history, prosperity has always led to decline. Is the mortal path to immortality so easy to traverse? We have outlasted the Emperor, the God Emperor, the Ruthless One, and the Beginningless One, and now we watch the Heavenly Court wither away."

Upon learning of this, Ye Fan and his son from the Heavenly Court sneered and rubbed their hands together, then gathered to discuss attacking the entire forbidden zone to force out the supreme beings, from whom they would divide the spoils equally.

However, before this plan could be implemented, the second path to immortality opened not long ago. Many supreme beings in the forbidden zone of life placed their hopes on it, and several supreme beings emerged, including the White Tiger Daoist and the Beast God. Only the Myriad Dragon Emperor and the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor were missing.

As for anything more, that would be the end of it. Even the Dark Supreme was worried that after his birth, he would be blocked by the people of the Heavenly Court and wouldn't even be able to become an immortal.

As expected, Ye Fan and his son were caught off guard and overjoyed. On Flying Immortal Star, they blocked the path of the Beast God and the others.

A great battle was about to break out. The Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court were watching closely, but they did not take action, leaving it to the younger generation to hone their skills.

In the end, the great supreme beings met their end, being killed by Ye Fan, the innate holy body Dao embryo, along with Shennong, the Yellow Emperor, and Shakyamuni, who were unorthodox Daoists.

Not long after the battle, the great supreme beings gathered on the Path to Immortality and discovered the contingency plan left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Emperor Venerable. The three supreme beings sealed away—the prehistoric creature, the snake-transformation, and the Annihilation Supreme—were broken free of their seals and became the means for the Emperor Venerable to resurrect.

"Has the Path to Immortality opened? Has the Emperor's backup plan appeared?"

Lu Heng was greatly disappointed to learn of this information, as he had missed this moment. Otherwise, he could have studied the Emperor's situation, wondering what his condition was, whether he had been corrupted by darkness, given birth to a dark primordial spirit, and become a fallen immortal in the mortal world.

However, seeing the tranquil state of the current universe and the absence of the Emperor's aura, he immediately understood that the Emperor had not successfully resurrected.

Indeed, this was the case. At the final moment of the Emperor's resurrection, Ye Fan and the others sensed an ominous and uneasy aura. They decisively intervened and interrupted the resurrection process, which unexpectedly caused the Immortal Ascension Cauldron to be reforged.

This time, the Divine Child did not participate as in the original timeline, but instead transformed back into a weapon spirit. He was blocked by the combined forces of several Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court, and the Immortal Cauldron itself nurtured a new Holy Spirit.

After this battle, Ye Fan and his son were revered as the strongest holy bodies in history. Many supreme beings perished at their hands. Coupled with the trials of the Beidou Immortal Path and the Undying Emperor, the two were very close to defying the heavens and becoming emperors.

"The path to immortality on Flying Immortal Star has come to an end, with not a single person achieving immortality?"

Lu Heng deduced this ending and sighed deeply. In the original timeline, Laozi, Shakyamuni, and Ji Ziyue and her daughter had all entered the Immortal Realm, but now they were being scorned. They all knew the superiority of the Immortal Path in the Mortal World, and if all else failed, they could go to a strange world, where they could also prolong their lives.

Going to the Immortal Realm, which is actually another universe, would be like asking for trouble if you were unfamiliar with the place and its inhabitants.

Following this, the Heavenly Pride of the Sun, the Moon, the Primordial Beginning, the Emperor, and other Heavenly Pride individuals all underwent their ultimate sublimation not long ago, condensing the Imperial Law and becoming supreme beings who achieved enlightenment in a different way.

The older generation, including Di Que, Jiang Taixu, the Human Demon, and the Old Madman, have also reached this point, with little difference between them. The Golden Crow Supreme has also finally been reborn and almost attained enlightenment, but unfortunately, he was just one step behind.

The next step is to defy the heavens and become an emperor, surpassing all paths and transforming into a Heavenly Emperor. Chaos Immortal Jade Holy Spirit and Lu Heng have set an example, and Ye Fan and his son are getting closer to it as well.

Immediately, this group of unorthodox Daoists became restless. There were more than twenty of them, all wanting to kill the Supreme Being.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these forbidden zones probably won't last more than tens of thousands of years."

Lu Heng clicked his tongue and shook his head. This life was too glorious. He also decided to leave seclusion and go to Flying Immortal Star to take a look and search for the Emperor's whereabouts.
