Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

The figure of the Eternal Emperor rose from the golden bridge on the other side, smiling to greet us.

Xu Qing strode forward with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, his aura powerful and invincible. His will to dominate all heavens filled the void of the universe, omnipresent.

"Fellow Daoist is truly incredible. In such a short time, you have taken another step forward in shattering the vacuum and reaching the Yang God realm."

Fellow Daoist, your strength now surpasses even my own at my peak.

The voice of the Eternal Emperor was no longer aged; instead, it had a youthful quality, but his eyes sparkled with curiosity about Xu Qing.

It has only been two and a half years since he achieved the Yang God realm, yet he has made such rapid progress again, closing the gap with the Other Shore realm.

This speed of progress is truly unbelievable, even more incredible than the variable he predicted.

"You don't seem worried that I'll make a move against you?" Xu Qing also stepped onto the Golden Bridge on the other side, stood with his hands behind his back, and calmly looked at this first person of the ancient times.

"I have long since passed away; what stands before you now is merely a projection."

Why fear life and death? Besides, I am only here to discuss the Dao with those philosophers, to make a bet, and to wait for the appearance of the last philosopher.

The philosophers once said that the last move would defeat me, and now that you have accepted that person as your disciple, it seems you also have high hopes for him.

The Emperor of Immortality spoke at length, explaining his current state and the reasons for staying here.

When the Hundred Sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought arrived at this place of origin, they suppressed the thoughts of many Yang Gods and experts, but they lost to the Emperor of Longevity.

But the philosophers refused to admit defeat. They argued that the group was incomplete, lacking the final member who had not yet been placed in his place.

Therefore, he made a bet with the Emperor of Immortality, and the battle would continue to Yi Zi, who would be tasked with defeating the Emperor of Immortality.

“Not bad, my disciple will surely defeat you.” Xu Qing smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a stone table appeared. He sat cross-legged, and tea sets appeared, automatically pouring tea.

He had no intention of fighting the Eternal Emperor. With his current strength, it would be truly boring to bully a mere projection of the Eternal Emperor.

The Emperor of Longevity also sat down, and without any ceremony, picked up his teacup and drank as if he and Xu Qing were old friends.

"Hahaha, then I'm even more looking forward to that Yi Zi growing up." The Eternal Emperor wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he laughed heartily, completely unperturbed.

"That day won't be too far off," Xu Qing said, taking a sip of tea and nodding.

"However, compared to that Yi Zi, I am now also very curious about your identity."

The Emperor of Immortality, with a smile on his face, put down his teacup, stared into Xu Qing's eyes, and asked in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist, are you really Yang Pan?"

Xu Qing's heart stirred slightly, his eyes deep and unfathomable, yet he couldn't help but admire the extraordinary nature of this first person of the ancient times.

They still figured it out.

"I am Yang Pan, but Yang Pan is not me. Do you understand, Fellow Daoist Changsheng?"

Xu Qing smiled.

The Emperor of Immortality seemed to be deep in thought. His words were short, but they revealed a lot of information.

Yang Pan is just one of the identities of the person in front of you, not all of them.

"I see. May I ask where you come from?" the Eternal Emperor asked again.

He had calculated everything and everyone in the past, present, and future, but he still couldn't figure out Xu Qing's true background.

Everything is unknown, and it is difficult to find a single trace.

It seems that it really is just Yang Pan.

But this is simply impossible.

"I come from beyond the heavens," Xu Qing said truthfully. Now that he had reached this level, he had nothing to worry about.

No one is his match anymore. Even if the number one person in the ancient world, the strongest person in the Yangshen Universe, were to be reborn and regain his peak strength, he would still be no match for him.

It's fine to inform the other party.

"The heavens beyond... no wonder... no wonder!!!" The Eternal Emperor suddenly realized, and he stood up to personally pour tea for Xu Qing, saying:

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, fellow Daoist." Xu Qing nodded slightly, his heart stirred, and said, "Fellow Daoist Changsheng is the most outstanding person in this world, but unfortunately he is trapped in one world, which is why he cannot see the road ahead."

I can take you, Fellow Daoist Changsheng, to other realms to see more of the world. Would you be willing?

The Great Emperor of Immortality possesses the most outstanding talent and abilities in this world.

Apart from Hong Yi, no one else can compare to him.

If they hadn't been trapped in the Yangshen Universe, but instead placed in other, more powerful universes, they would have definitely reached even greater heights.

It will never stop at the realm of shattering the vacuum and the Yang God.

Upon hearing this, even the Great Emperor of Immortality, with his composure, found it difficult to control himself and became slightly agitated, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, can you really do that?!"

His eyes shone brightly; he had reached the pinnacle of this path, yet he still could not see any trace of transcendence.

If we could truly travel to another realm, we might actually find a way to surpass our peak!
"That's not difficult, but you'll need to give something in return," Xu Qing said with a faint smile.

The Eternal Emperor was not surprised; the ability to take people to other realms and escape this universe was naturally incredible.

Moreover, the other party is unlikely to help for free.

It has to come at a price for it to be real.

This shows that the other party is indeed capable of doing this.

He truly has the potential to transcend this world; isn't that a kind of alternative transcendence?
"What do you need me to do, fellow Daoist?" asked the Longevity Emperor.

Xu Qing didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "It's very simple. Fellow Daoist, you need to be deeply bound to me and never betray me."

The Eternal Emperor frowned slightly: "Will I lose my freedom and human rights?"

"No, this bond will not affect your freedom and rights, it will only strengthen the connection between us."

Xu Qing shook his head slightly. There was no need to try to enslave or control a person as talented as the Eternal Emperor.

All you need to do is befriend him, and he will naturally become your help in the future.

“Good! If you can truly lead me away, freeing me from the cycle of reincarnation and granting me a different kind of transcendence, I will never betray you. If I break this vow, may my immortality be extinguished, my body and my Dao vanish, and the Great Dao itself perish!”

The Emperor of Immortality agreed, and to show his importance, he even made a Great Dao Oath.

"Fellow Daoist has great courage, worthy of being called the number one person in the Primordial Era!" Xu Qing nodded with a smile, such courage is rare.

Keep in mind that this was the first time they had met.

"Since you trust me so much, I will certainly not let you down."

Xu Qing had the Longevity Emperor open his mind and then used the power of the Heavenly Gate to bind him and leave a mark.

Only in this way can one use his Heavenly Gates to travel to other realms.

"What an incredible treasure!" The Longevity Emperor vaguely saw the Gate of All Heavens and could feel the supreme power of this treasure.

Even the most powerful artifacts pale in comparison to such a treasure.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to leave this realm now?" Xu Qing asked.

The two are now deeply intertwined, so their interactions are naturally more direct.

He could also see the urgency in the other person's heart, so he asked.

"Is it feasible now?" the Eternal Emperor asked.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Of course it's feasible, but I think it would be more appropriate for you to send an avatar first, and then descend fully after you are familiar with everything.

There are far too many powerful beings in the myriad realms. The Eternal Emperor's current strength may make him invincible in this realm, but that may not be the case in other worlds.

"What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist. Let's go there first with an avatar, as you suggest." The Longevity Emperor also felt that this method was more reliable.

Then, an avatar emerged from the body of the Eternal Emperor, entered Xu Qing's body, and was then transported away by Xu Qing's Gate of All Heavens. (End of Chapter)
