Covering the sky: Traveling through the holy body, suppressing the dark turmoil

Chapter 97 Another person left

The universe pulsed with the Emperor's will, his imperial power surged, and his bloodline was filled with the power to destroy the world, overwhelming the present age.

With his own path firmly established, he had no more worries.

"Nothing stands at the pinnacle of the world like this."

Looking back at the vast sky and earth, a surge of boundless pride welled up in my heart.

As he swept across the heavenly court, a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

Is that ancient power that has looked down upon the heavens and the earth for hundreds of thousands of years still at its peak?
A golden avenue erupted beneath the Emperor's feet, causing the stars to shift and the constellations to change, and in an instant, he arrived outside the Heavenly Court.

An ancient gate stands between heaven and earth, with the phantom images of dragons and phoenixes hanging high in the sky; no other place is more divine and beautiful.

Suddenly, the Emperor Yuan was jolted awake.

A gaze suddenly appeared, sweeping over him, the newly crowned emperor.

With just a glance, Emperor Yuan felt a chill that went straight to his soul.

There's something terrifying here!
At that moment, a thought flashed through his mind: he had violated a taboo.

"Let's go to the Heavenly Court for a chat." A divine thought entered his mind.

Emperor Yuan composed himself and stepped into this ancient sacred land.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by the prosperity of the place.

Immortality is the dominant theme here.

Guided by the visitor, Emperor Yuan arrived at the destination of his journey, the Heavenly Realm.

There, some people were waiting for his arrival.

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!" Emperor Yuan bowed.

"Now that you have attained enlightenment, you may address me as a fellow Daoist."

Then, I poured him a cup of Enlightenment Tea.

"Now that you have attained enlightenment, I will tell you some things."

He then told the other party about the method of the Immortal in the Mortal World.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!" Emperor Yuan said.

This scene is like a cycle, just as the ancient Qilin Emperor did, but he ultimately perished in the passage of time.

"I hope you can take that step."

The two discussed the methods of immortality for hundreds of years, and Emperor Yuan gained much from it.

I now have a new direction for my future.

If someone can succeed on a path that others have already traversed, then they are not necessarily unable to succeed.

Each incarnation of a Daoist achieves enlightenment through countless battles, their luck and strength being second to none.

"Throughout history, has anyone ever reached that final step?" the Emperor asked.

"Maybe, most of them are on their way."

He thought of many people, but only the Emperor might have achieved that ultimate leap.

The Immortal Emperor is still somewhat lacking, but not by much. The beings of the Immortal Realm will progress rapidly in this strange world.

Emperor Yuan asked many more questions, and Li Xuan answered them one by one.

He genuinely hoped the other person would take that step.

When the Emperor Yuan left the Heavenly Court, his expression remained unsettled for a long time.

The gains from this trip far exceeded what I had gained from thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

Attaining enlightenment is not the end; the road ahead is still long.

After a thousand years of manifesting divine power in the world, Emperor Yuan began a period of seclusion to deduce the method of immortality.

If one could live forever, who would willingly grow old and die in the passage of time?

……

After seeing off Empress Yuan, Li Xuan arrived at this sacred land, stained with too much bloodshed.

He used his magic to move this sacred land to the heavens.

He wanted to use this sacred land, in conjunction with the great power of heaven and earth, to hasten the birth of this holy spirit.

Even though this sacred land has been purified by the power of faith for hundreds of thousands of years, it is still fraught with danger, clearly indicating that the traces left by heaven and earth have not been completely cleaned up.

He intended to use his powerful cultivation to forcibly erase all traces of this place, completely transforming it into a celestial land suitable for the cultivation of holy spirits.

With a single breath, his innate essence transformed into a spiritual rain, falling upon this sacred land.

Immediately afterwards, he waved the Banner of All Spirits, pouring out the power of faith accumulated over tens of thousands of years, and using it all for the Holy Spirit Land.

When all of this landed on the Holy Spirit Immortal Land, wisps of malevolent energy flew out, turning into ashes and dissipating between heaven and earth.

But this did not end there. Li Xuan activated his magical power.

Having not made a move for hundreds of thousands of years, he unleashed unparalleled divine might upon his first strike, eradicating all the ominous signs in the area.

The most powerful forces collided here, and under the impact of such immense power, any ominous sign seemed utterly fragile.

The mournful cries dissipated into the heavens and earth under the impact of the immense force.

"Destroy it!"

As Li Xuan's hand fell, a surge of imperial might erupted, purifying the remaining malevolent energy of heaven and earth.

This celestial land, which would normally require a long period of time to recover, has reached this point tens of thousands of years ahead of schedule because of his intervention.

Then, a human-shaped stone embryo flew out of his hand.

The Holy Spirit Immortal Land sensed the extraordinary nature of this stone embryo, and several beams of light flew out from it, guiding the stone embryo to the place where the Stone Emperor was born.

After the human-shaped stone embryo landed, the ancient patterns on it absorbed the power of heaven and earth, becoming increasingly profound and lifelike.

"Just as I guessed."

Next, Li Xuan moved the ninety-nine dragon peak formations that he had replicated here from the ancient Kunlun Mountains to this location.

Although it cannot compare to the wonders of Kunlun Mountain, it still brings considerable benefits to the birth of this stone embryo.

When all these divine wonders converge here, visible changes occur on the stone embryo, and its evolution speed becomes extremely fast.

"I'll lend you another hand!"

He planted the Banner of All Souls here, attracting the power of faith from the universe and gathering it into the humanoid stone embryo.

What he ever wanted was simply a Holy Spirit to emerge from there, an ancient being with the hope of awakening memories of past lives.

After dealing with all of this, Li Xuan went into seclusion again.

He needs to accelerate his transformation and quickly begin his next life.

During this period of seclusion, the Immortal Pool underwent changes.

On the ancient pool wall, a human-shaped rune suddenly came to life, its crude movements containing profound truths about the universe.

Unconsciously, Li Xuan followed the rune figure and circulated his magic power. In an instant, the power of soaring to the sky erupted.

All living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths felt the oppressive force emanating from the Heavenly Court, and countless wailing cries arose as the imperial might crushed the nine heavens.

"What happened?"

Emperor Yuan was very curious about what had happened in the Heavenly Court, but he was injured by the powerful backlash from there the moment he merely cast a glance there.

The opponent's strength is too great; he cannot easily probe it at his current level.

Inside the Heavenly Court, Li Xuan was unaware of the changes happening outside.

His mind had long been captivated by the mystique of the rune figures.

The rune figure appeared incredibly lifelike in his eyes, almost like a real living being.

An unparalleled figure stood before him, and magical power emanated from his body, flowing along specific trajectories.

"It's an ancient immortal technique, but it's not entirely one!"

The method that person evolved was a modified version of the ancient immortal method, but unfortunately his cultivation level was insufficient, so he could only modify a portion of the ancient immortal method.

But in doing so, he also forged a unique path.

Observing the trajectory of the other party's magical power, Li Xuan felt enlightened. He had once observed the creation process of the ancient immortal techniques, and now he was observing the evolution of the ancient immortal techniques by the predecessors, which corroborated the techniques left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Ultimately, all things lead to the same end.

Different paths lead to the same destination; everything is for the sake of transcendence.

The three methods corroborated and collided with each other, evolving into a blurred path. "Is that so?"

This path is very unclear; it's even questionable whether it's even feasible.

Faced with this ambiguous path, Li Xuan attempted to deduce its feasibility.

A thousand years later, Li Xuan awoke from his seclusion.

"There is a certain probability that it is feasible."

With his current level of cultivation, he is still unable to verify the feasibility of this path.

To verify its feasibility, one must reach the level of a Celestial King.

Although he cannot take this path at present, that does not prevent him from starting preparations.

He had a feeling that this path was related to the Sixth Secret Realm.

Regarding the sixth secret realm, including this path, he now has three paths.

A chaotic world, the power of faith, and this path with an unknown outcome.

"If all three paths lead to the sixth secret realm..."

Once the idea took hold, Li Xuan's breathing became heavy. He couldn't imagine how heaven-defying it would be to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level through three completely different paths.

Then, he spent thousands of years deducing this vague path.

However, the results were minimal, though he still made some significant gains.

Time does not stand still for anyone. While Li Xuan was immersed in his deductions, ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Yuan has entered the twilight of his life. Now, his hair is white and his face is covered with wrinkles.

"Time flies. It feels like I achieved enlightenment just yesterday," Emperor Yuan sighed.

The Dharma in the next life did not deduce a definite result; only when one truly experiences it will one understand the difficulties involved.

Immediately, an elixir of immortality appeared in his hand.

Without much hesitation, I swallowed it in one gulp.

Shortly thereafter, an overwhelming surge of blood energy erupted, allowing him to be reborn.

Emperor Yuan knew he had no way out. If he did not achieve his goal in this life, he would perish completely in the passage of time.

In this life, he was under pressure. After living out his second life, he completely disappeared from the world's sight, focusing solely on the path to immortality.

In the Heavenly Court, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

This time, his aura was different from before, yet not by much.

Over the years, he has begun to put a small part of that vague path into practice on himself.

His lifespan did not increase, but the transcendent aura around him grew even stronger.

"This is all I can do for now. Everything else will have to wait until I reach the realm of immortality to be proven."

Li Xuan then observed the evolutionary process of the humanoid holy spirit, which was no different from that of tens of thousands of years ago.

"The Holy Spirit's evolution speed is truly impressive!"

Then, Li Xuan unleashed his magical power, landing on the ninety-nine dragon peaks. Immortal liquid was expelled from the dragon heads and, guided by him, flowed towards the humanoid holy spirits.

He then observed the transformation process of Lingbao Tianzun. The overwhelming blood energy on the Four Swords of Zhuxian was even stronger, and Lingbao Tianzun's return process was not affected in any way.

Everything is on track.

……

In the blink of an eye, fifteen thousand years have passed.

Emperor Yuan came to the end of his life.

He had already made some deductions about the Dharma of the Third Incarnation, but he hesitated to try it.

If any unexpected event occurs along the way, it will be utterly disastrous.

The Emperor's eyes gleamed as he pondered the path ahead.

Suddenly, he thought of Xihuang and Wutian. The two of them did not undergo a third transformation, but simply disappeared.

He didn't believe that all of this had nothing to do with the Heavenly Emperor.

Having understood all this, Emperor Yuan dragged his broken body to the ground, stepped onto the golden road, and made his final journey to the Heavenly Court.

"Fellow Daoist should know the purpose of my visit, right?" Yuan Huang asked.

"Have you thought this through? Are you going to follow their path?" Li Xuan asked again to confirm.

"It's confirmed," Emperor Yuan affirmed.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan told Emperor Yuan everything that had happened in that strange world.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

Now that he is in his twilight years, who would willingly choose to perish if they could live on?

As a beam of celestial light scattered, Yuan Huang, with his help, stepped into a strange world.

Li Xuan's greatest hope was that the Yuan Emperor would step into the third generation, but now it seems that he has failed once again.

The reason why there are so many supreme beings in the forbidden zone is inevitably related to the difficulty of the third incarnation's transformation.

If it were that simple, then there would be no such thing as a forbidden zone for life.

After understanding everything, Li Xuan sighed helplessly.

Being born in this world is too bitter; throughout one's life, it is difficult to escape the shackles of lifespan.

After seeing off Empress Yuan, Li Xuan began his seclusion again.

……

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed.

With the "fall" of the Yuan Emperor, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to deplete, and all living beings were severely unable to attain enlightenment.

On this day, the Taiyin Emperor returned to the Taiyin Sect.

Having walked through the mortal world for tens of thousands of years, he experienced all its splendor as an observer.

Although it didn't allow him to escape his seventh life, it made his future path increasingly clear.

The Emperor's Seal appeared in his hand, its imperial might flowing and its supreme power gathering.

After being reforged by the Taiyin Emperor, the Human Emperor Seal became even better, but it was still quite a distance from being a celestial artifact.

The Taiyin Emperor intends to further improve the quality of the Emperor Seal.

Then, three more "Human Emperor Seals" appeared around the Human Emperor Seal, identical to the Human Emperor Seal. These were cast by the Taiyin Human Emperor over the years from the nine great immortal metals collected from the world.

The "Human Emperor Seal," forged from divine purple gold, Dao tribulation immortal gold, and eternal blue gold, merged with the central Human Emperor Seal under the guidance of the Taiyin Human Emperor.

"boom!"

The supreme imperial might swept across the heavens, causing all living beings to tremble and submit to this supreme pressure.

The Yin Emperor opened his mouth and spat out Yin Fire, its terrifying power reforging the Emperor Seal.

The Taiyin Fire refined it for three whole days, and the previous Human Emperor Seal became incredibly divine, with wisps of immortal energy circulating on it.

The Human Emperor Seal is now taking the initial shape of a celestial artifact; it's only a matter of time before it becomes a celestial artifact.

"Just as I guessed, this path is feasible," said the Taiyin Emperor.

The reforged Emperor's Seal became extraordinary.

The Taiyin Emperor placed the recast Emperor Seal in the Taiyin Temple.

The Emperor's Seal absorbs the power of faith from the universe, becoming even more wondrous and extraordinary.

With the blessing of faith, the evolution of the Human Emperor Seal accelerated even further.

After confirming that everything was on the right track, the Taiyin Emperor went into seclusion again to digest the gains of the past tens of thousands of years.

Outside, the depletion of spiritual energy in the world causes unbearable suffering for living beings, yet they are powerless to change it.

In this strange world, the newly arrived Emperor Yuan stabilized his state with the help of the immortal substance.

At this moment, a local powerful figure from the Imperial Path discovered him.

An earth-shattering battle erupted between the two, and in the end, the Yuan Emperor was slightly stronger and killed the native emperor.

From then on, his path of conquest began.
