The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 524 Reaching Consensus
"Why should we give up the path to immortality that is about to open? Eighteen people chose the path to immortality that is about to open, and ten people chose the path to immortality that will open next time. Even if we have to give up, we should give up the path to immortality that will open next time and focus all our efforts on attacking the path to immortality that is about to open," a Supreme Being retorted.

“That’s right. I also think we should focus all our efforts on attacking the soon-to-be-opened Path to Immortality. If that fails, we can then join forces to attack the Strange World.”

"No, I'm not optimistic about this path to immortality. What if it's a fake path?"

"Even if it's fake, we can still join forces to break into the strange world."

Immediately, the various supreme beings began to argue back and forth, as their paths to immortality were at stake and none of them would easily back down.

"Fellow Daoists, we have chosen the path to immortality that is about to begin. Even if the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body and the Boundless Holy Court want to attack us, they will most likely wait until we have completed the path to immortality and conquered the strange world."

If we succeed, we will no longer be in the human realm; if we fail, we will most likely perish.

"At that time, only the ten of you will remain. Are you sure the Heavenly Emperor's faith will wait until you complete your ascension path before attacking you, instead of eliminating you immediately after we are gone?" said the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, who had chosen the soon-to-be-opened path to immortality.

"I don't know if you've been paying attention to the universe, but this golden age is far more dazzling than our time."

There are no fewer than twenty or thirty promising talents who are likely to attain enlightenment. Perhaps in a few hundred years, a great emperor and twenty or thirty other individuals who have achieved enlightenment through unconventional means will be born.

According to our calculations, the next path to immortality will open several hundred years from now, by which time those prodigies will have grown up around the same time.

"If the universe gains another Great Emperor and more than twenty other unorthodox Dao attainers, even if we join forces, we won't be able to deter the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body and the Boundless Holy Court. They might very well attack us beforehand." Another Supreme Being spoke.

"This..." Upon hearing this, even the Supreme Beings who had chosen the second path to immortality fell silent.

Although they were very reluctant to admit it, they had to acknowledge the fact and had to back down.

Seeing that the ten supreme beings had taken a step back, the eighteen supreme beings did not press the matter further.

Before long, the twenty-odd supreme beings barely reached a consensus.

They should join forces to attack the soon-to-be-opened Path to Immortality. With their strength, they will most likely be able to determine the authenticity of the Path to Immortality without needing to undergo extreme sublimation.

If it's true, then there's nothing more to say; we'll naturally fight our way in.

If it's fake, then exit and try attacking the strange world to see if you can enter it without reaching the ultimate level of sublimation.

If they could, there would be nothing to say. Faced with a lifespan of millions of years, they would no longer think about the ethereal Immortal Realm, and naturally they would no longer care about the Heavenly Emperor in this strange world. They might not be able to defeat the Heavenly Emperor, but they could simply avoid him from afar.

If that doesn't work, they can seal themselves again. Given their current state, without going to the extreme and consuming too much energy, they can seal themselves and persist for several hundred years until the second path to immortality opens. That shouldn't be a problem.

Once the second path to immortality opens, we will join forces to attack it again.

Similarly, first verify the authenticity of the path to immortality. If it is true, then strive to reach the pinnacle and fight your way in. If it is false, then strive to reach the pinnacle and fight your way in to conquer the strange world.

Of course, although they had reached a consensus, they were all aware that things might not unfold according to their wishes, and there were too many unexpected events that could shatter their agreement. For example, the path to immortality was real, but there was a limit to the number of people who could become immortals, so they would definitely fight amongst themselves for a spot.

For example, when they failed to conquer the path to immortality and the strange world without reaching the ultimate level of sublimation, and wanted to seal themselves off, the Heavenly Emperor's faith body led the powerful members of the Boundless Holy Court to appear.

Faced with the choice between using ultimate ascension to attack the strange world and using ultimate ascension to fight against the Heavenly Emperor's faith body and the Boundless Holy Court, they would most likely choose to use ultimate ascension to attack the strange world.

For example, if the Heavenly Emperor's faith body states that as long as the Supreme Beings who have not instigated the Dark Turmoil are willing to switch sides, they will be allowed to accompany him into the Strange World, it is estimated that several Supreme Beings who have not instigated the Dark Turmoil will turn against him.

……

However, they all tacitly refrained from mentioning these things! They are currently facing threats from the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body and the Boundless Holy Court, and need to work together.

If these things were mentioned, the little bit of trust they had painstakingly built might collapse, and then this fragile alliance would fall apart.

After the supreme leaders of the five forbidden zones of life concluded their discussions, they gradually fell silent and moved from the edge of the universe to the Big Dipper Star Region.

Although they were fairly confident that the Heavenly Emperor's faith avatar wouldn't attack, what if it did?
Having moved to the Big Dipper Star Region, the Heavenly Emperor's Faith Body and the Boundless Holy Court would definitely have some reservations if they wanted to take action.

On the other side, in the Boundless Starfield, at the Undying Mountain
The sound of "humming" echoed as a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, formed from the primordial energy of Yin and Yang, began to operate. The boundless primordial energy of Yin and Yang permeated the area, and the already mysterious and extraordinary Immortal Mountain exuded an aura of the origin of heaven and earth, full of Daoist charm and immortal energy.

In the Immortal Mountain, in a palace paved with white jade from the heavens, on a bed of Chaos Immortal Marrow, Ling Guang's face was flushed with rosy clouds, her eyes were like autumn water, she was charming and alluring, her snow-white and crystal-clear jade body was graceful and slender, her tall and graceful figure was beautiful and elegant, and her smooth and white body was covered with rosy clouds, pink and touching.

Besides her, on the Chaos Immortal Essence bed, there were about thirty other flawless, radiant, and delicate bodies lying side by side, presenting a scene that would make one's blood boil.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Li Daoming paused slightly.

“Heavenly Emperor…” Ling Guang’s eyes were glazed over, her heart filled with endless emotions and reluctance.

Seeing Lingguang's captivating demeanor and the alluring scenery beside her, Li Daoming felt a surge of impulse again, but he quickly suppressed it.

He's been indulging in debauchery for far too long; it's time he reined himself in.

Yes, Lingguang has broken through from the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor to an alternative path to enlightenment.

She cultivated for nearly five thousand years before reaching the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor, and then remained stuck at the seventh level of Quasi-Emperor for hundreds of years, unable to break through.

Although she hasn't exhausted her potential yet, she will need a lot of time to take it to the next level.

Normally, it would be impossible to break through three minor realms in just over two hundred years, let alone the crucial hurdle of attaining enlightenment.

But if you meet him, everything will be alright!
