Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 195 Ye Qingxian
Having reached this level of cultivation, although she did not attain enlightenment through reincarnation, her mastery of the Great Dao of Reincarnation is sufficient to repair the Reincarnation Disc and restore it to its original state.

Without standing on ceremony, Fang Ming took out his half of the Reincarnation Disc and said, "Fellow Daoist, since you are not on the Reincarnation Disc, have you discovered any backup plan for the resurrection of the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King?"

Logically speaking, someone who has reached such a level of cultivation should have some means of resurrection.

Throughout history, there have been numerous instances of people successfully resurrected and emerging from the dead.

In theory, it is indeed possible for the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King to be successfully resurrected.

"Since no resurrection plan for Liudao was discovered, he has most likely truly perished." Liu Shen shook her head and sighed.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King was incredibly powerful, a giant among Immortal Kings, and a rare existence even in ancient history. It is truly a pity that he perished.

"Where is the Immortal King Wuzhong?" Fang Ming asked again.

It is uncertain whether Wuzhong has already been reincarnated, or whether Wuzhong's reincarnation was caused by the actions of the Black Emperor's predecessor.

"The contingency plan of Wuzhong has already taken effect, but whether it can be repeated depends on luck," Liu Shen said.

She naturally kept a close eye on these two powerful Immortal Kings from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"It's a pity that Zhenlong has other fellow Daoists..." Liu Shen sighed.

Fang Ming remained silent. Back then, when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were destroyed, Immortal Kings arrived one after another, causing an imbalance in high-end combat power. Immortal Kings were attacked by the masses and most of them perished on the spot. No backup plan could possibly be effective.

As the two conversed, wisps of Quasi-Immortal Emperor radiance emanated from Liu Shen's body, merging into the newly unified Reincarnation Disc, causing its cracks to heal at a not-too-slow pace.

Unlike refining, the Reincarnation Disc was repaired much faster than expected, taking less than a day.

The complete Reincarnation Disc is different from the split Reincarnation Disc. Although it does not have a deity, if there is sufficient power to activate it, it can truly unleash the power of this Immortal King's artifact.

Unlike other artifacts that truly possess divine or immortal king-level magical artifacts, which can autonomously defend against enemies and unleash power surpassing that of true immortals, this artifact cannot; it simply requires its master to control it.

However, Fang Ming did not intend to use the Reincarnation Disc to defend against enemies; he had other plans for this magical artifact.

Along with the Wheel of Reincarnation, the Endless Dao Bell was also restored to its original state.

After repairing the two magical artifacts, Liu Shen looked at Fang Ming and said, "I sensed the presence of the Bell Soul. Shall we summon it?"

With the Dao Bell in hand, and given Liu Shen's strength, the intertwining of cause and effect would allow her to easily sense the existence of the Immortal Bell's soul.

"Please do as you please, fellow Daoist," Fang Ming said, unconcerned.

He knew that the deity of the Endless Bell resided within Ye Qingxian; it was the basis for her existence in this era.

After a moment of sensing, Liu Shen's eyes shone with an astonishing divine light. She said with some surprise, "That person does not belong to this world. She is from the future. I want to see her."

“Perhaps I have seen artifacts related to her before…” Liu Shen recalled the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron that flowed with nine-colored immortal light that she had seen in the previous era.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling celestial light streaked across the sky and appeared not far from Fang Ming and Liu Shen.

A hazy celestial light appeared, revealing a woman in white robes with unparalleled beauty. Though she possessed an ethereal aura, her large eyes, as they moved, gave off a cunning feeling.

Upon seeing Liu Shen, Ye Qingxian remained calm. Instead, she smiled and bowed, saying, "Ye Qingxian greets Senior Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit and this great senior!"

She knew of the existence of the ancestral spirit, but she didn't know the identity of the ancient tree of the Great Dao.

However, she knew that those who could stay with the ancestral spirit were mostly like-minded people, and presumably also senior immortals from ancient times.

With the discerning eye of someone like that, they would certainly be able to discern one's origins.

“No need to be polite. Perhaps I have met the person behind you before.” Liu Shen waved her hand, looking at Ye Qingxian with a slightly serious expression, and said, “Coming from the future, what do you want to change?”

“No.” Ye Qingxian shook her head and said, “I just want to witness the miracle of the Desolate Emperor, witness his experiences, and witness the things that happened. Those things are very important to us.”

"However, it seems I arrived a bit too early; I can't pinpoint the exact time." She gave a wry smile, saying, "And it's quite different from the history told by Master Duan De; so many things have changed. According to the original history, at this time..."

Before she could even speak, a deafening boom resounded through the sky, like a divine thunderclap that split the heavens and the earth.

Thunder roared, yet the world remained unchanged, as always.

Although the world seemed normal, a sense of oppression permeated the air.

The three present all knew that this was a warning from the supreme Dao. Since ancient times, those who disrupt the cause and effect of time and space have never had a good end. Apart from true Immortal Emperors, it is difficult to withstand the backlash of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. The ability of the bell spirit of the Endless Dao Bell to conceal its power is limited.

Even if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were to alter the past on a large scale, there would still be a risk of his demise.

This is also why Ye Qingxian, after returning to this era, rarely engages in worldly affairs, remaining silent and not venturing into the world.

Liu Shen's expression remained unchanged, and a quasi-Immortal Emperor's radiance rose from her body, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere. She said, "Desolate Heavenly Emperor, are you referring to that child, Shi Hao?"

She didn't show any surprise, as if it was the natural thing to do.

“Yes, the Desolate Emperor severed countless ages with a single sword strike, leaving behind endless legends. He swept away the greatest darkness, but he himself disappeared.” Ye Qingxian nodded, revealing a look of reverence.

Then a look of regret appeared on his face, and he said, "But as time goes by, some strange creatures hiding in the shadows have resurfaced... The first signs are already quite remarkable, perhaps related to the black scourge that was wiped out back then, they are from the same source..."

"We want to know where the Desolate Emperor went, what happened to him, and why he disappeared so completely, leaving only some ambiguous legends behind." Ye Qingxian sighed helplessly.

Liu Shen remained silent, recalling the scenes she had witnessed on that paper boat years ago. She couldn't help but sigh; one scourge had been quelled, yet another strange and treacherous disturbance was emerging.

Her gaze shifted, looking at Fang Ming with a probing expression, thinking, "If Fellow Daoist Xuantian comes from the future, then the future he comes from must be much more distant than this Ye Qingxian's!"

"Does Fellow Daoist Xuantian know anything about this?" Liu Shen asked without hesitation.

Fang Ming did not answer directly, but said: "Actually, many things are unknown for no other reason than the level of cultivation. There is no need to force it. If the cultivation is sufficient, one will naturally know all the secrets of the heavens."

Once one's cultivation level is high enough, one can see clearly both the past and the future at a glance.

At the level of sacrificial rites, one is even said to be 'omnipotent,' but that is only a claim and does not apply to matters of equal ability.

Moreover, what good would knowing do? It might even bring danger, and people might come after you based on your own thinking.

Ye Qingxian was taken aback, and said thoughtfully, "What you mean is that we shouldn't go back to the past to trace the footsteps of the Desolate Emperor and what happened in the past."

"No, you've come so early, what can you possibly witness? He's only at the Celestial God realm now. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a million years to cultivate to the Immortal Emperor realm," Fang Ming said doubtfully. "Being able to pierce through space and time, you must have some understanding of the realms above the Immortal King realm, right? Even with the essence blood of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, it would be difficult to pinpoint the exact time!"

Ye Qingxian remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. We've tried many times, but we haven't been able to pinpoint the exact time. Even with the help of Master Duan De, who is from this era, it still didn't work."

It's only natural that it won't work. Even if an Immortal Emperor agreed to trace back to his past, it's not something an Immortal King or even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could do, even with his imperial blood as guidance.

"Later, my ancestors accidentally obtained a drop of imperial blood similar to their own. After identification, it was confirmed that it was the blood of the Desolate Heaven Emperor. Several ancestors worked together to send me to this life." Ye Qingxian said with a bitter smile. "Unexpectedly, although there was imperial blood as a guide, there was still a deviation. The time I arrived was still too early."

At this moment, Liu Shen said in confusion, "Why not try to change to someone else, someone from the same era as the Desolate Emperor, such as his younger brother or older brother? If there is a causal connection, it is not impossible to change to a powerful figure from the same era as him."

She knew that Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors, whether alive or dead, were impossible to trace.
However, his contemporaries might not be so. There must be ways to understand the secrets of that era. One could trace back to his contemporaries, travel through time, and return to that time to understand the secrets of that era.

Ye Qingxian naturally understood what this senior meant. She gently shook her head and said, "It won't work. The vastness of space and time has shrouded more than one era in mysterious power, making it impossible to accurately observe the river of time..."

“The ancient history that gave birth to Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors is untraceable, not only in terms of the history itself, but also in terms of the time and space that involved that Quasi-Immortal Emperor.” Ye Qingxian said, revealing an unconcealable regret. She said, “We have also tried to do this. Ancestor Duan De himself was a person from the Chaotic Ancient Era. Even using him as a base point, we cannot accurately locate the current node. If it weren’t for that Emperor’s Blood, I would not have been able to come here!”

In fact, not only Duan De, but they also tried to contact those who were not so closely related to Shi Hao, such as the Immortal Peach Elixir, which had recovered after entering the Immortal Realm.

But the result was self-evident: all attempts failed. That ancient history was shrouded in an inexplicable force, making it impossible to trace or pinpoint its exact location.

He repeatedly pierced through all the heavens and myriad paths, shattering space and time, but he was never able to see the person he wanted to see. He either returned to the early days of the Immortal Ancient Era or to a later time.

It wasn't until by chance that Ye Fan obtained a drop of imperial blood that was similar to his own that Ye Qingxian was sent to this era.

However, even with the imperial blood as a guide, things still went wrong; this era seemed to be not as Duan Dezu had described.

"Did Master Duan De's cultivation go wrong, causing his memories to be distorted...? It seems that there was no ancestral spirit in the Chaotic Ancient Era that Master Duan De mentioned..." Ye Qingxian was a little confused at this moment.

This situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths doesn't match Master Duan De's description at all!
The trajectory of history was completely different.

According to Master Duan De, when the Desolate Emperor was breaking through to become an Immortal King, he was ambushed by the masters of the two major forbidden zones of life in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, resulting in his death and the destruction of his soul. It was Master Duan who buried the Desolate Emperor's body in the burial area and later resurrected his soul, thus giving rise to the supreme Desolate Emperor and his unparalleled dominance throughout the ages.

But now, the forbidden zone of life in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is gone.

If there is still a Desolate Heaven Emperor, this one must be different from the Desolate Heaven Emperor we know!
