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

Chapter 378 Refining the Authority
Lu Heng fought for tens of thousands of years, ending the chaos brought by the Eternal Immortal Court. The Xuan Tian Demonic Path was annihilated, and the Twisted Program also perished.

At this moment, he stood high in the sky, looking at the vast and boundless Eternal Celestial Court, which was shrouded in brilliant celestial light, like an ancient and indestructible halo, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes aura.

"I'm the only one left. After planning for so long, I never thought I would be the final winner."

Lu Heng looked dazed as he silently surveyed this magnificent creation. Even with his current level of cultivation, he still felt its unfathomable depths, which made his very essence tremble.

Taking charge of the Eternal Celestial Court may not guarantee transcendence, but at least it grants you a ticket to that transcendence.

Of course, he also needs to seize the power of the Eternal Immortal Court. With its vast origin, even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor would probably find it difficult to fully control it in a short period of time.

Most importantly, as the distorted program vanished and the origin flowed into the Eternal Celestial Court, this great creation seemed to have its gap that caused the interruption of the perfect cycle filled, becoming completely perfect and flawless. It roared and started operating again, fully repairing the cracks and defects that had appeared after the fall.

After the Eternal Immortal Court fully recovered to its peak, Lu Heng felt that even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor would have great difficulty refining it, so he wanted to take advantage of this time to refine as much authority as possible.

In addition, there are still some hidden dangers in the Eternal Celestial Court. For example, even if the source of the strangeness suppressed in the Treasure Hall is rendered harmless, it is not so reassuring.

"However, I can try to borrow its power to explore the level of Immortal Emperor or Sacrifice Dao."

Lu Heng pondered. Even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had refined darkness and transcended it, laying a solid foundation for his advancement to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

With the Eternal Celestial Court as his backing, being cautious is also a way to improve himself.

Now, Lu Heng has transformed into an immortal embryo, and his path to becoming a quasi-immortal emperor has come to an end. He has not yet found a breakthrough to advance to the level of an immortal emperor. Becoming a king is difficult, but becoming an emperor is even more difficult.

In the original timeline, during the process of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's ascension to the Immortal Emperor, he was killed by the Corpse Immortal Emperor. A drop of his blood transformed into all things, and the future me transmitted the Dharma to the past me, ultimately achieving success and advancing. This seems to imply that such a realm must form a closed loop in spacetime, giving a sense of destiny.

Lu Heng pondered for a while and had a premonition that to advance to the Immortal Emperor level, it would be best to trace back to his roots, namely the Eternal Immortal Court.

"In fact, under the Eternal Celestial Court, the timeline of every person who basks in its glory will be compressed and protected, which may be beneficial for their advancement to Celestial Emperor."

He seemed to be deep in thought. At the same time, when he was undergoing his transformation on the path to immortality in the mortal world, he used the Reception Altar to transform into billions of beings and integrate into endless planes to experience trials. This process continues to this day, and every moment it gives him immense benefits.

It somewhat resembles the process of the Desolate Heaven Emperor's transformation into the Free Heaven. His ability to advance to Quasi-Immortal Emperor so easily is inseparable from the continuous feedback from the Reception Altar.

"The Reception Altar alone can help me advance to the Immortal Emperor level. The Eternal Immortal Court also has many other sacred cultivation sites such as the Chaos Pool, the Battle Stele, the Treasure Hall, the Enlightenment Platform, and the Dharma Evolution Pavilion, which can always help me find an opportunity for advancement."

Lu Heng's gaze fell upon the Eternal Immortal Court. No matter what, he would try several paths and surely find a way to break through.

Finally, he eliminated all the hidden dangers on Blue Star, was able to reshape the heavens of Blue Star, and even find the Blue Star cultivators who had been scattered throughout the heavens, including his sister, parents, and relatives, and was able to try to reflect them back with his supreme power.

"Should we start now...?"

He remained silent for a moment, feeling that it was not the right time yet. The Eternal Immortal Court had been wiped out, but beyond that, there was a terrifying enemy, a strange plateau, ten ancestral sacrifices, and ten immortal emperors at the end of the road.

"Once I've transcended this, I'll reclaim everything."

With his mind at ease, Lu Heng's imposing figure landed in the Treasure Hall. He believed that the immediate priority should be to focus on the three major institutions: the Chaos Pool, the Guiding Altar, and the Treasure Hall, to gain complete control of them before venturing into other supreme buildings.
-
Time flies, and tens of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Heng absorbed the essence of the Celestial Court, completely healing his injuries. He also did not forget to refine the three great buildings, increasing the rate of absorption by dozens of times. He refined seventy or eighty percent of the authority of each building. With the power of the three great buildings added to him, his combat strength reached the level of the Sacrifice Dao.

Even if they return to the Heavenly Shroud now, they will face the strange resurgence of the plateau, but they are confident in their ability to protect themselves.

Furthermore, Lu Heng reaped considerable benefits. Not to mention the Guiding Altar, the scope of his traversal of countless heavens expanded, and his avatars continuously contributed. Previously, it could help him advance to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, but now the feedback was even stronger.

Then, the Treasure Hall and its sixty-six layers of treasure vaults were opened, revealing a massive quantity of Immortal King artifacts, numbering in the hundreds, as well as more than a dozen Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapons. To be precise, these were Chaos Treasures, born from the endless Chaos Sea, not man-made, but treasures collected by the Eternal Immortal Court across countless time and space as they searched the Chaos Sea.

Lu Heng planned to melt down all these chaotic treasures, along with the primordial Heavenly Demon Emperor's primordial spirit, and refine them into the Eternal Immortal Gourd, so that his Dao-proving treasure could be upgraded to an Immortal Emperor Weapon and become a trump card.

He suspected that the last nine floors of the Treasure Hall likely contained treasures of the Celestial Emperor, and perhaps even sacrificial weapons.

Secondly, there is the Chaos Pool. As the source of the Eternal Celestial Court's power, refining a portion of its power might allow one to undergo an unparalleled transformation. However, the danger is no less than being corrupted by the strange source, and there is always the risk of assimilation.

Lu Heng was very cautious and did not immediately bathe in it to receive the baptism of the source.

Buzz!
At this moment, a seven-colored gourd floated above his head, containing an unparalleled world within. A nine-colored sword light crisscrossed, forming a vast sword light. The primordial demon emperor's primordial spirit floated and was torn apart and refined bit by bit.

One after another, these vast and timeless treasures were thrown in, only to be utterly shattered.

Finally, the Eternal Immortal Gourd trembled, its seven-colored radiance receded, and it became ancient and jade-like. The nine colors of the immortal sword within faded, leaving only an eternal and indestructible cold light.

Upgraded to Immortal Emperor Soldier!
Lu Heng examined the magic gourd in his hand.

At first glance, it appears simple and unremarkable, but once fully activated, the Eternal Immortal Gourd directly evolves into various structures such as a Chaos Pool, a Guiding Altar, and a Silkworm Molting Chamber, almost identical to the Eternal Immortal Court. The supreme sword light will then depict the collapse of the Eternal Immortal Court, possessing a transcendent power beyond the Dao of Sacrifice.

He put it away with satisfaction, and then communicated with the Reception Altar. It had been more than 100,000 years on Blue Star, with continuous great battles. He wondered what the situation was like in the Sky-Covering Realm.

As soon as Lu Heng had a thought, his towering figure vanished from the spot, traversing countless times and spaces, and descending upon the universe of "Covering the Sky".

Before he could even get close, an unprecedented and bizarre power erupted from the endless chaotic sea, forming a sky-covering curtain that blocked him out.

"Strange power."

Lu Heng instantly became serious, feeling a powerful force, like a tide, sweeping over everything, corrupted by darkness, twisted and strange, blowing from the source of that cursed land.

Even a quasi-immortal emperor like him showed signs of an unstable primordial spirit and a deteriorating physical body.

The Dark Invasion broke out so quickly?!

The Heavenly Court only managed to conquer the Immortal Realm, and at most, they only had 200,000 troops.
