Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 447 The Sea of ​​Reincarnation

From the end of the mythological era to the post-ancient period, through millions of years, Chuan Ying has long since exhausted his life force and his lifespan is nearing its end.

Now even self-imposed isolation is no longer an option; death is drawing ever closer.

"It's a pity that there are already enlightened beings in this world, otherwise they might be able to try to prove their Dao and live another life!" Chuan Ying said with some regret.

His life was dedicated to the Dao and was brilliant enough. He met the Emperor and was captivated by his aura. He joined the Ancient Heavenly Court and became the First Divine General, whose fame resounded throughout the ages!

But ultimately, there was a regret. Being born in the same era as the Emperor was both a blessing and a tragedy, as he never took that step in his entire life.

In the years that followed, Chuanying did try, but his Dao heart was flawed, and he was unable to make the final leap.

Now that the obsession has been removed, the Golden Crow of this era has taken the lead, blocking those who come after and severing their dreams of enlightenment.

Chuan Ying believed that someone like him was definitely no weaker than the Golden Crow Emperor, but due to the limitations of the rules of heaven and earth, and the fact that he did not have the combat power of the Heavenly Emperor, he could only do so in vain.

For a moment, he felt somewhat disheartened; the dream he had pursued throughout his life was slipping away from him.

Am I resentful? Of course I am, but looking back on my life, I have no regrets.

Li Yao looked at Chuan Ying, who seemed relieved, and shook his head with a light laugh: "The scenery at the top of the cultivation path is beautiful. It would be a pity if the divine general did not continue to climb."

"What does the Heavenly Emperor mean?" Chuan Ying was stunned. Even after he had explained the matter of lifespan, the Heavenly Emperor's words still had a hidden meaning, which was obviously abnormal.

Sure enough, Li Yao spoke again: "If it is only a matter of lifespan, I can solve it for the God General, but it depends on whether the God General wants to continue."

Chuan Ying's heart stopped, and his eyes blazed with divine light, but as if he had thought of something, they dimmed again. "The Heavenly Emperor is talking about the elixir of immortality, right? Unfortunately, I have already taken it, and the elixir is no longer effective for me."

The Heavenly Emperor possesses an elixir of immortality, a fact known throughout the myriad realms, and there is more than one such elixir.

Conquering the Undying Mountain will grant you a miraculous herb that grants ten thousand years of life, while the Ancient Mythical Road will yield a life-giving herb that can help you live a second life.

As the first divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, and an unconventional Daoist who could challenge the Supreme Being, Chuan Ying had naturally taken divine medicine.

Therefore, even if the Heavenly Emperor's method was a divine medicine, it would be completely useless to him.

Li Yao chuckled. If Chuan Ying still wanted to live, then there was room for discussion. But if he had no desires and only wanted to pass his last moments, then there was no chance at all.

"The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, the Divine General should know about it, right?" He said it with certainty.

“Of course, I have personally witnessed the Emperor…” His words stopped abruptly. Chuan Ying looked at the Heavenly Emperor, paused for a moment, and then continued, “The Heavenly Emperor wants to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.”

In the mythical era, he was at the height of his power and naturally did not need to prolong his life, so he never took the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

If he had a magic pill at this moment, his lifespan problem would naturally be solved.

To be honest, Chuanying had considered this life-extending elixir before. He had the formula, but the medicinal materials were too difficult to collect, so he could only sigh in the end.

But if it were the Heavenly Emperor, collecting medicinal herbs would be a piece of cake.

In the past, even the Emperor had no medicinal herbs and had to seize them by force. The Heavenly Emperor can certainly do the same.

Taking a stroll through the forbidden zone is enough; the ancient supreme beings could only cooperate.

Chuan Ying's heart stirred, and he looked at the Heavenly Emperor with some anticipation.

“No need to collect them, I have them right here.” Li Yao didn’t mince words and offered the benefits directly.

"So, what is the choice of the gods?" he asked.

The conditions have been explained: enter the Undying Mountain, submit to his command, and you will receive a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill to prolong your life.

Without hesitation, Chuan Ying made his choice almost immediately, cupping his fists in a salute, "I am willing to follow the Heavenly Emperor."

"Alright, let's encourage each other and work together to accomplish the miracles that the Emperor failed to achieve in the past." Li Yao was in high spirits.

Having acquired a unique Daoist who could challenge even the Supreme Being, his forces have greatly increased, which is a cause for celebration.

Li Yao burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying himself. He took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chuanying, who was standing to the side, delighted.

The jade bottle was small, about the length of a finger, pure white and flawless, radiating a dazzling divine light. A round, bright elixir, about the size of a fingertip, was clearly projected through the jade bottle; it was the Nine-Turn Elixir.

Chuanying's eyes burned with fervor as he reached out and accepted the jade bottle, bowing deeply in gratitude.

“Let’s go, to Beidou. The destruction of the Underworld is not the end.” Li Yao said, turning around and taking a step.

A celestial path unfolds, where stars shift and the world changes, extending towards the other end of the universe.

This was the first time Li Yao had ever traveled in such a high-profile manner since he attained enlightenment.

The Path of Immortal Light traverses the universe, passing through countless ancient lands of life, piercing into the endless distance, transforming into a bridge connecting the two ends of the starry sky.

Everyone anticipated that this scene was not simple; every move the Heavenly Emperor made had a profound meaning.

"The Heavenly Emperor returned in such a high-profile manner after his journey, returning in triumph."

"The underworld has been pacified, the Heavenly Emperor has created an eternal myth and rewritten ancient history. No praise is too much."

Cheers erupted across the universe as the Immortal Path stretched through endless star fields. Countless cultivators could see the Heavenly Emperor standing on the path, followed by a young man, surveying the heavens!

This is not the end. As the world predicted, the Heavenly Emperor's intervention and the pacification of the Underworld is only the beginning.

Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, the Path of Immortal Light leads straight to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, upright and undisguised.

Having just pacified the underworld, he immediately rushed to a forbidden zone, an action that horrified the world.

The might of the Heavenly Emperor, after only a few decades of silence, once again shook the world.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating what the Heavenly Emperor would do next: conduct an inspection tour or sweep through the land?

The thought sent shivers down people's spines. That was forbidden territory; were they really going to sweep through it all, one forbidden zone after another, and completely wipe it out?!

Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible. Since the beginning of the Dark Rebellion, generations of emperors have spontaneously resisted it, and over countless years, no one has been able to pacify all the forbidden zones.

Because no one can say for sure how many supreme beings are in the forbidden area. If they are pushed to the limit, they will be able to transcend and emerge into the world. All the flawless imperial experts will come out together. Even if a true immortal descends, he will be beaten to death.

But this is the Heavenly Emperor! Even if an immortal were standing in front of him, he would probably fall under the Emperor's fist, right?

People were filled with anticipation, and although they were still shocked, they held high hopes for the Heavenly Emperor.

Under the clear sky, Li Yao descended and appeared in the Big Dipper Star Region. He was supreme and possessed the power to destroy the underworld. Every move he made exuded an invincible aura.

Reincarnated overseas, the Golden Crow Emperor appeared, no longer hiding his form, and was seen by the world, causing a sensation.

"The Demon Emperor was actually waiting outside the Samsara Sea, blocking the way all along; it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"My God, are we really going to wage war against all the restricted areas?"

At this moment, people were completely certain that the Heavenly Emperor intended to pacify all forbidden zones and cease confrontation with them.

"Heavenly Emperor." The Golden Crow Emperor stepped forward and walked behind Li Yao, saying, "There are unusual movements in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation. The Supreme Being within is repairing the Immortal Platform." Clearly, the Heavenly Emperor has made a major move, although it is against the Underworld. The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone is worried and has silently begun preparations.

If the Heavenly Emperor really wanted to take action, they wouldn't have been caught off guard.

Li Yao's eyes burned brightly. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Jinwu and Chuanying, saying, "You two go help the others. Don't let a single one escape. I want to capture them all in one fell swoop."

Chuanying and Jinwu nodded, exchanged a glance, and were in perfect agreement. One went to the Primordial Ancient Mine, and the other went to the Divine Ruins.

Li Yao moved, entered the territory of the Reincarnation Sea, and stepped through the mountain gate.

Ahead, a vast ocean surges with turbulent waves, its surface shimmering and dazzling. It exists in the Eastern Wilderness, but not in the human world; it is a realm of its own, unseen by mortals.

"Young man, are you really going to make a move?" A cold voice rang out from the depths, exuding the vast power of the imperial divine way.

"Isn't it obvious?" Li Yao feigned ignorance. "I thought you all already knew what I was going to do."

"Do you know that if you continue to act, it will definitely make the other forbidden areas wary? If they don't want to die, they will have to work together and attack as a group." The cold voice threatened.

"So what? What do I have to fear?" Li Yao replied calmly.

These words were powerful and resounding, silencing the entire universe. Everyone felt that the Heavenly Emperor was truly too domineering.

A forbidden zone of life, transcending the mundane world, it inspires awe despite being within it.

Throughout history, countless emperors have followed one after another, yet they could only suppress the problem, not eradicate it.

Because the enemy is powerful, that is an indisputable fact. The emperor reigns supreme, but if it really comes to a fight to the death, even the emperor will die in battle.

But the Heavenly Emperor was not afraid and declared domineeringly that he would sweep through all the forbidden areas.

These words are crazy, but they have stirred the blood of the people, because the Heavenly Emperor really has a chance to realize them.

Heaven and earth fell silent, deathly still, save for the sound of the waves.

The Sea of ​​Reincarnation is a divine sea, rich in essence, and silvery-white in color. It resembles a galaxy in the starry sky, which gathers here to form a vast ocean, beautiful and magnificent.

The ocean is vast and boundless, larger than the entire Eastern Wilderness. If it were to appear in the human world, the Eastern Wilderness and the Central Plains would be turned into a swamp.

The waves surged, unlike ocean waves, yet they made a clanging sound; the flowing material was not seawater, but rather fine metallic sand, rubbing against each other.

Li Yao walked calmly on the waves. A storm was coming from ahead, which was a law of the imperial level, but as it approached, it seemed to be split apart by a sharp sword.

"Arrogant! Is the Heavenly Emperor truly lawless? Is he not afraid of a war that will lead to the collapse of the universe and the extinction of all living beings?"

A roar erupted from the depths of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, its Daoist sound resounding throughout heaven and earth, its terrifying power sweeping across the land, causing all living beings to tremble.

He was threatening them, but also reminding the other supreme beings to stop harboring illusions.

The Heavenly Emperor was clearly determined that no one could escape him. Rather than deceiving themselves, they should all be born together to surround and kill the Heavenly Emperor.

They are all enlightened beings. The Heavenly Emperor is indeed stronger than ordinary enlightened beings, but how much stronger can he be?

He can take on five, but what about ten, or fifteen?

If they all attack together in the restricted area, they have an overwhelming numerical advantage and can overwhelm him with sheer numbers.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

As soon as the Supreme Being of the Reincarnation Sea finished speaking, the other major forbidden zones erupted in chaos.

Clearly, the ancient supreme beings were not fools; at this critical juncture, they had no choice but to emerge from the world.

"Heavenly Emperor, is this really how it must be? Wouldn't it be better if we all kept to ourselves?" The Supreme God asked Li Yao, wanting to make a final attempt to persuade him.

The price of being born is too high; if given a choice, no supreme being would be willing to leave the forbidden area.

Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor's combat power is undeniable. Once the war begins, even if the Forbidden Zone Alliance wins, it will definitely result in mutual destruction.

Everyone knows that the only way to defeat the Heavenly Emperor is by sacrificing lives, and no one can guarantee that they won't be one of the few to fall.

If the Heavenly Emperor goes mad, he can take at least several people with him.

No, it's not just the Heavenly Emperor alone. He has helpers. Leaving aside the Golden Crow, the current Great Emperor, there's also that young man. Some Supreme Beings recognize him; he's the number one divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court, capable of fighting against even a Supreme Being.

That's not all. Gai Jiuyou, who was spying on the Immortal Tomb, was discovered by the Supreme and revealed his form. He is yet another person who has achieved enlightenment in an unconventional way and can challenge the Supreme.

If a major battle were to break out, this would be a supreme warrior, not as strong as them, but capable of fighting against them.

There is also the Undying Mountain, which has three self-severed Supreme Beings, making it a formidable force.

From this perspective, the cost would be even greater, making the Supreme Beings unwilling to engage in battle.

"We can make a pact that for the next 100,000 years, we will not step out of our respective forbidden areas. What do you say?"

The supreme ruler yielded, offered kind words of advice, and even submitted—such a posture has never been seen before in history.

But Li Yao had made up his mind and would not change it. He suddenly stomped his foot, and endless ripples spread out. The power of the Heavenly Emperor erupted, and the entire Sea of ​​Reincarnation trembled, with billions of hectares of seawater boiling.

Some palaces and floating islands in the sea exploded at this moment, turning into dust, unable to withstand Li Yao's terrifying divine power.

Only in the depths of the Sea of ​​Reincarnation does an ancient tree still exist. It is a huge ancient tree, so magnificent that it is unimaginable. Its branches spread out as if they cover the entire universe.

On the branches of the tree, there are many ancient palaces, and endless chaotic mist rises from below, creating a hazy scene.

"Fellow Daoists, do not hesitate any longer, words are useless." The voice from the depths of the Reincarnation Sea was very grand, and a figure rushed out of the Immortal Source, with the imperial divine might covering the sky.

At the top of the enormous ancient tree, instead of buildings, stood a sacred mountain, magnificent and imposing, exuding an aura that suppressed eternity, fixing the entire Sea of ​​Reincarnation, and cascading endless chaotic energy.

The figure stood there like a god or demon, its aura surging and exuding a terrifying demonic aura.

That was the Supreme Being of the Reincarnation Sea. Not only did he emerge from the world, but he also directly achieved the ultimate sublimation, returning to his peak. His imperial divine might spread out, and the Eastern Wilderness seemed to be about to be torn apart. Mountains and rivers shook, and rocks pierced through the clouds.

Li Yao let out a cold snort, and the Dao Principle flew out, overflowing with immortal light, stabilizing the world.

His magical power was so immense and vast that it seemed more like that of an enlightened being than an immortal descended from the celestial realm.

Before they even made a move, their immense pressure was already palpable to everyone.

There is a vast difference between those who attain enlightenment.

The so-called invincible emperors are only because they did not live in the same era as the Heavenly Emperor; otherwise, there would be no such thing as an invincible one.

The figure, resembling a god or demon, lost his composure, chanting rapid incantations.

In an instant, the silvery seawater boiled, as if pulled by a huge suction force, surging upwards and flowing into a treasure bottle.

During this process, the sun, moon, and stars tremble with these fluctuations, which is extremely terrifying.
