Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 159 Immortal Emperor
The days passed like this day by day.

Xu Yuanming remained unchanged, without any desires, and uninterested in anything.

What I used to enjoy doing, I no longer enjoy.

I used to like eating these foods, but I don't like them anymore.

……

There were so many things, Xu Yuanming was like a saint, except for the emotions shed by the young girl who had visited before.

At other times, the parents never saw Xu Yuanming show any emotional changes.

The two did not dare to ask too many questions, but simply looked at Xu Yuanming without saying a word.

Gradually, Xu Yuanming became somewhat depressed about this kind of life.

He was out of place in this world, much like a creator god.

Xu Yuanming can no longer return to his former life. At this moment, he is like a ghost, brushing past everyone without leaving any trace.

On this day, Xu Yuanming held Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering" in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and slowly read it word by word.

He was very content; besides reading, he found there was nothing else to do.

As for those novels, some were boring, and he felt like laughing while reading them.

He looked at his own life, thinking, "This isn't invincible at all!"

None of those novels described an ancestor who could kill an Immortal Emperor.

tsk...

This isn't nice either!
"In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans; it transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back is so vast that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans; when it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. This bird, when the sea is in motion, will migrate to the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean is the Heavenly Pool. The *Qi Xie* is a record of strange tales. The *Xie* says: 'When the Peng migrates to the Southern Ocean, it stirs up the water for three thousand miles, rises ninety thousand miles on a whirlwind, and departs after six months of rest.'"

Just then, a young girl suddenly stood outside the door.

"If the Kunpeng really exists, what kind of demeanor do you think it would have, and can modern technology describe it?"

Xu Yuanming looked at the girl and smiled, "It depends on what kind. If it's a little Kunpeng cub, the kind that hasn't hatched yet, the current technology in this world can handle it. But if it's a bit more mature, there's nothing we can do."

This person is his childhood sweetheart from this world, Chen Linyi, who started her summer vacation a few days ago.

Chen Linyi glanced at him.

"Then what's the use of reading Zhuangzi's books? You have your own insights. If you ask me, no living thing in this world can withstand a nuclear bomb. If it hits, everyone will be reduced to ashes. Even if the Kunpeng really exists, it can't escape it."

Xu Yuanming laughed: "It's not interesting. Just look at these. As for what you said, it depends on how you describe it. Anyway, in my opinion, Kunpeng is indeed quite childish."

"Tsk..." Chen Linyi rolled her eyes: "You've been gone for a few months and you've even learned to brag. A single feather of Kunpeng might be bigger than yours."

“Even if you brought Kunpeng to me, he wouldn’t dare to speak like that,” Xu Yuanming said nonchalantly.

He was telling the truth. Even the Kunpeng Ancestor of the Heavens was merely a supreme Dao Ancestor. If it were an Immortal Emperor, he would have to take it more seriously.

"Okay, okay... You're right, I understand. You're not getting any younger, when are you going to find a job?"

"Work?"

Xu Yuanming recalled what he had heard those people say before he returned, and then shook his head: "I'm not going."

"Forget it, just leave it at that. You spend all day reading your books, I don't know what you'll ever amount to. Let me tell you, that kid next door has found a way to make a living writing online novels, he's making ten thousand a month. Look at you..."

Chen Yilin continued talking incessantly.

Xu Yuanming yawned, waved his hand, indicating that Chen Yilin was not welcome and asked her to leave.

Chen Yilin laughed upon seeing this, then left without saying a word.

Xu Yuanming didn't take it to heart and continued to look at the manor.

When the parents found out about it, they just sighed and didn't say anything more, just like before.

……

……

The next day, Xu Yuanming left the small house and walked out of the door.

He looked at the streets from his childhood, remained silent for a long time, and finally left, disappearing without a trace.

Before leaving, I left a letter at home.

Xu Yuanming decided to relax, travel around the mountains and rivers, and leave his mark on this country step by step.

He had no worries; he was an open and honest person, and night and day meant nothing to him.

Time has passed, but Xu Yuanming has not changed. In fact, he still believes that his return just happened a moment ago.

Indeed, for cultivators at this level, let alone a year, even ten thousand years is no different from blinking an eye.

Unbeknownst to him, Xu Yuanming had traveled the entire world, and finally, without anyone noticing, returned home with his schoolbag on his back.

My parents are still the same, just much older.

Xu Yuanming was taken aback. How old are his parents now?
83 and 79.

What about him?

Xu Yuanming was unaware that he hadn't changed at all. Over all this time, from his cultivation to the present, he had remained the same nineteen-year-old.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Xu Yuanming was moved by the expression, a rare occurrence, and he didn't know when he had last experienced such a thing.

Having repeatedly escaped death and been bathed in the blood of his enemies, Xu Yuanming had grown accustomed to sweeping across the world alone and suppressing everything. Now, he realized that he had no safe haven.

Different road non-phase plan.

These were the words Xu Yuanming had previously spoken to the Supreme Being of Mingcang and those Heavenly Court cultivators, and now, those words were fully reflected in him.

What path is he seeking?

Why is there not a single person in the world who seeks this?
Xu Yuanming remained steadfast in his confidence. He did not leave, and in the end, he buried himself, along with his former self.

Watching my friends pass away one by one with the passing years, seeing them full of youthful vigor one second and turn into dust the next.

He felt a little melancholy.

Throughout the entire process, Xu Yuanming did not interfere with the development of these matters.

As long as they have an idea, they will never die; even becoming an immortal is a piece of cake for them.

However, he did not do it.

Xu Yuanming's Dao heart was perfected, and he finally understood why he had been unable to break through to the Immortal Emperor level for so long.

On this day, Xu Yuanming arrived at Mount Tai. He reached out and touched the summit, then laughed and said, "It was he who made me, and it was he who ruined me."

After saying that, Xu Yuanming took a step forward, intercepted time, traveled through dimensions, and came back to the capital city, to the author surnamed Yang.

The author's health is deteriorating, and in this timeline, that new book is now nearing its end.

Needless to say, the results remain the same, with the team still far ahead.

Xu Yuanming smiled softly, and then disappeared.

……

……

Xu Yuanming is gone. He treads through the ages, and with each step he takes, an indescribable meaning is revealed.

Finally, all the strange phenomena disappeared, returning to simplicity, leaving only a young man.

Immortal Emperor!

Entering this realm, there is no longer the fancy and elaborate path of the past, but only the simplest one. The closer you get to the end, the closer you get to the Great Dao.

Xu Yuanming returned to the era of the creator god and looked into the distance.

"I am coming."

With one step, he left the Land of Desolation; with another step, he traversed the vast starry sky.

He returned to his dojo, which was now in ruins and had been destroyed by the Immortal Emperor.

"Did they come looking for me?"

Xu Yuanming was very casual. He was already an Immortal Emperor, and after breaking through another level, he naturally didn't need to be afraid of any so-called Immortal Emperor.

After attaining the Dao of Immortal Emperor, Xu Yuanming's strength increased rapidly, reaching its peak. His accumulated cultivation was released in an instant, soaring into the sky, as if he was about to break through the barrier in one go.

He held up one finger, recounting the history of this place.

"Just a kitten."

Xu Yuanming joked.

He then reached out and slapped the little cat immortal emperor from that time and space. This unexpected and overwhelming blow directly shattered his physical body.

Even when he was at the Dao Ancestor level and had not yet become an Immortal Emperor, this little cat Immortal Emperor could suppress him, let alone now.

He had a premonition that even if a being at the level of a sacrificial deity were before him, he would have the ability to protect himself and retreat.

"who!"

The Little Cat Immortal Emperor was horrified. Why did his body suddenly explode? He hadn't even sensed any danger before he was blown apart.

He is a being at the very end of the path!
Even in a time and space where the creator god bestowed blessings and there was a path leading to the sacrificial path, he would be considered a top expert.

Although their combat strength is poor, their realm doesn't lie.

The fact that the other party can do this means they must have reached the pinnacle of their abilities!
Moreover, he was the extremely assertive type, not the half-baked type like his master!
The Little Cat Immortal Emperor wanted to escape, but the Creator God had set a rule that anyone who did not yet possess the strength to rival the Sacrifice Dao would inevitably suffer divine punishment if they attacked their master.

In this era, there was a great war between beings at the sacrificial level, resulting in widespread suffering and the destruction of countless areas.

However, in the end, they were instantly annihilated by the rules set by the creator god, and all the creatures who died tragically returned to their original state.

From then on, no one defied the rules set by the Creator God; the world could only follow the rules.

The two beings from the sacrificial realm died instantly without any resistance.

This is the power of the creator god. Even if he does not manifest in the world, the imprint of the rules he created in the past can suppress the heavens and earth so that no one can stop him.

"Want to run?"

Xu Yuanming smiled slightly, completely unconcerned. He simply stretched out one hand, and instantly, the world became vast and desolate, time and space were reversed, and everything was in chaos.

The Little Cat Immortal Emperor was shocked. His past and future had all been messed up, and now he was like a headless fly, being played with.

The supreme being of the End of the Road has had all his power sealed off, leaving him with nowhere to retreat and nowhere to escape.

"How is this possible? Even if you have reached the pinnacle of the Path of Ascension, you still shouldn't have such strength? Sacrifice to the Dao? You sacrificed to the Dao?! How is this possible? How is it possible for someone to go from a being in the Dao Ancestor realm to a powerhouse surpassing the Path of Ascension in just over 100,000 years?"

"I don't believe it! This is all an illusion, a mirage! The truth is, you've found a new path. Otherwise, how could you be so strong? Multiple evolutionary systems have intertwined, making your strength unstoppable in your ultimate ascension!"

Although he called him a kitten, the person in front of him was none other than an almost invincible Immortal Emperor, whose eyesight was naturally exceptional, and he saw the opportunity that made Xu Yuanming so powerful.

Xu Yuanming flipped his palm again, and the Era of Absolute Spirits arrived. The passage of time began to regress endlessly, gradually crossing countless billions of years, aiming to overturn all the trajectories of this era.

Xu Yuanming knew perfectly well that a complete Immortal Emperor was very difficult to kill.

At that time, all the Immortal Emperors on the Bridge of Despair were already dead. They were phantoms that were reflected again by the Lord of the Despair Realm of Sacrifice. It was not easy to kill an Immortal Emperor who was already dead.

However, killing a true Immortal Emperor is on a completely different level. Back then, Emperor Bone Brother only managed to kill a mere kitten Immortal Emperor by virtue of his superior cultivation level and by lying in ambush for countless epochs.

Xu Yuanming is now making a strong move, giving him no chance to escape, determined to completely annihilate him and prevent him from ever reviving again.

Most importantly, unlike Emperor Bone, Xu Yuanming did not plan ahead and devise countless killing moves. Instead, he acted remotely after conducting his investigation.

The two people are now in completely different dimensions of time and space!

Even for a Celestial Emperor, it wouldn't be easy to interfere with a being of the same level in this way, as they are already burdened with the karma and destiny of a Celestial Emperor, as well as the rules of the creator god of this era.

This led almost all the Celestial Emperors to only dare to act in the mortal world, fearing that they would change the course of their destiny and be killed by the rules set by the Creator God.

But Xu Yuanming didn't care at all and just kept attacking, each time with a deadly move.

The Little Cat Immortal Emperor never intended to rebel; he simply wanted to shatter the destiny space of this era, return to his master's side, and use the path to sublimate to fight against the path to sublimate.

As for whether his master would be killed by the rules of the Creator God, that was no longer his concern; as long as he was alive, that was enough.

This era is too closed off; we couldn't go to the previous era, and we can't travel to the next one.

Even the term "epoch" is ephemeral, because this era has only one name from beginning to end.

"The Age of the Creator God".

Regardless of the years, there is only this string of cold numbers. Everyone is like a creature raised here by this creator god, and no one knows when they will die.

All living beings want to break free of their cages, escape this place, and no longer be restricted.

No one succeeded, and gradually, they gave up.

Beings at the sacrificial level are no different from ants when faced with the rules set by the creator god; they only have one path: death.

Only by breaking through the ritual path and transcending worldly affairs can one truly be free and unrestricted.

However, this was extremely difficult. In this unprecedented golden age, there were only a few sacrificial deities.
