Chapter 372 The Last Moments Before the Path to Immortality!

Everyone in this world is striving to cross the threshold, especially as the path to immortality approaches. Even the supreme beings are accumulating power, let alone Qi Zhe.

The Seven Heavens Tribulation could not stop him, even when he was in the midst of a killing formation. The tribulation dissipated after roaring for more than a month.

Now he paces through the first gate, the gate behind him already closed, no one can enter, and he is heading towards the next city, not stopping there.

Qi Zhe's figure is nowhere to be seen in the world, but his legend continues. People know that he entered the Imperial Pass ahead of time and has long since completed his tribulation.

Along the ancient roads, guardians carrying ancient divine decrees entered the Imperial Pass ahead of time to investigate, but they only found that most of the buildings had been destroyed.

No one saw Qi Zhe's figure. The protectors of various races continued their investigation and only found traces of his departure. There were footprints left on the teleportation array that had been forcibly activated.

He's working on it!

Undoubtedly, this news was astonishing, even attracting some quasi-emperors. Powerful figures from the Imperial Pass rushed over, wanting to open the pass ahead of schedule.

The legends surrounding the ancient Heavenly Court's Imperial Pass are endless. Some have claimed that its deepest part contains the secrets to enlightenment, and that many ancient emperors have benefited from it.

There are not only immortal medicines controlled by the Emperor, but also his legacy, as well as the Dao relics of other ancient emperors.

The aspiring emperor was unwilling to give up, but he did not expect the difficulty of a forced attack. Despite years of attempts, no one could penetrate the enemy's defenses.

Seven years of fighting came to nothing. No one saw Qi Zhe. All they knew was that booming sounds could be heard from behind the Imperial Pass from time to time.

"He fought his way deep into enemy territory all by himself!"

People believe that Qi Zhe has monopolized the destiny of creation, and is currently comprehending the mysteries and secrets of enlightenment. The day he emerges from seclusion will be earth-shattering.

And indeed, it was true. In seven years, Qi Zhe had cleared nine formidable passes and now he had arrived alone before the ancient Heavenly Palace.

This is a chaotic immortal land, located in an unknowable part of the vast universe, boundless and immeasurable, with countless chaotic immortal mountains connected together.

Deep within the Chaos Immortal Mountain, a series of immortal palaces float in the sky. They are already dilapidated, with half of them destroyed, but they still stand to this day.

But in Qi Zhe's eyes, everything before him, except for the Immortal Palace, was real; everything else was illusory, all formed from chaotic lightning.

In addition, many of the most powerful Dao principles of antiquity are hidden within it, and countless ancient emperors have left traces of Dao for future generations to see.

"laugh!"

Qi Zhe sat cross-legged on a chaotic mountain, his body covered by the Great Dao, merging with countless Dao principles, radiating divine light.

He had no interest in the distant celestial palace, nor any intention of taking control of it; he only wanted to cultivate here and climb to a higher peak.

"My path ahead!" Qi Zhe whispered, comprehending the final stretch of the path amidst the endless laws of the Dao, even wanting to witness the path of the Emperor.

The Emperor's Way is the ultimate path in the human world, the pinnacle of this realm. It doesn't mean that one becomes an emperor simply by aligning with the will of Heaven; rather, one must stand at the highest level of the path to become an emperor.

The law within it is the law of the imperial way, the foundation of invincibility. Without venturing into it, even those in the Nine Heavens cannot contend with the Supreme Being.

Whether it's the many Great Accomplished Saint Bodies or those who have achieved enlightenment through other means, what enables them to fight against the Supreme is the Imperial Law, a contest within the realm of the ultimate path.

However, a momentary comprehension was not enough for Qi Zhe to attain enlightenment immediately. He remained silent in this space, falling into a state of complete absorption in the external world.

"time is limited!"

Suddenly, someone appeared in this space, an old and frail figure, his full head of white hair making people sigh.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe suddenly opened his eyes. He heard Gai Jiuyou's voice and found that the other party was standing not far away.

At this moment, Gai Jiuyou was extremely old. His thin body was bent and hunched over. Even his amazing cultivation could not turn back the years, and he had reached the end of his life.

"Senior!" At this moment, Qi Zhe rose from Chaos Mountain, whispered to Gai Jiuyou's dim eyes, and took steps toward him.

This was their first meeting in many years. Qi Zhe knew that Gai Jiuyou must have come looking for him because something had happened, otherwise he wouldn't have done so.

Meeting Qi Zhe's gaze, Gai Jiuyou nodded slightly, his expression filled with sorrow, and whispered, "The path to immortality is approaching, do you still have time?"

He came for Qi Zhe, even though he felt it was useless, he still wanted to see him, to find the last glimmer of hope for all living beings.

Qi Zhe was speechless upon hearing this. He found the question difficult to answer, and even he was unsure of what to do. He could only remain silent.

The two remained silent in the chaos, even Qi Zhe was unwilling to speak, because he knew that he still had a long way to go, and it might not be easy.

"Enough. This is the most dangerous upheaval in history. Why should it cost you your life? You still have a glorious future. Once you survive this calamity, you will surely attain enlightenment."

"Let me handle this; it'll be a good time to conclude the battle."

At this moment, Gai Jiuyou sighed with regret, his expression filled with melancholy. He then turned and left, his face showing reluctance as he did so.

He's right. Qi Zhe has a bright future ahead of him. Even if there are unexpected events, nothing can stop him from achieving enlightenment. He will surely look down upon a generation.

As a senior figure, he was unwilling to see all of this happen. On the day of the path to immortality, all the supreme generals would appear. Who could stop them? Even an emperor would find it difficult to create a legend.

If there is any trouble, he is willing to stand alone to protect the emperor. Even if it is impossible, he will shed his last drop of blood to drag the emperor to his death, so that there will be fewer bloodshed in the world.

Qi Zhe was speechless for a moment, then couldn't help but whisper, "I know you're not real, but why are you so real!"

In an instant, Qi Zhe's vision cleared, and he saw that Gai Jiuyou was still sitting on the mountain, surrounded by endless Dao principles, but there was no sign of him.

Everything that just happened was nothing but a dream, a true manifestation of Qi Zhe's inner demons, and also the two sides of his inner turmoil.

"In this life, I will quell the turmoil; no one can stop me!"

But at this moment, Qi Zhe understood everything and couldn't help but shout loudly on the mountaintop, his eyes filled with an indomitable fighting spirit.

His purpose in suppressing the unrest was not only for his own cultivation, but also to ensure that many outstanding individuals could peacefully pass away.

He still remembered everything from the turmoil, the great emperor's triumphant return, and the heroic figures who perished, becoming a final, poignant tale in the world.

This time, Qi Zhe wanted to create an ending by himself, so that the world would not be filled with endless sorrow, and that there would still be laughter and joy in the world.

"Although it's not much, it's enough!" Qi Zhe's words were resounding at this moment. Even though time was limited, it was enough.

During this period, Qi Zhe frequently made predictions, and each time he could sense that the path to immortality was gradually approaching, and now there were less than thirty years left.

He calculated very clearly that time was running out, the turmoil on the path to immortality was imminent, and a bloody future was just around the corner.

But giving up before even trying is not in his nature. He has taken ninety-nine steps on the road to success, so how could he stop at this last hurdle?

"Shh!"

Qi Zhe got up and walked towards the Immortal Palace. He began to hear chants and hymns, and words that looked like real characters flashed around him.

His Dao manifested before the Celestial Palace, causing all the great Daos here to submit. In less than twenty years, the universe began to rumble, and earth-shattering lightning flashed.

"boom!!!"

The heavenly tribulation shook the nine heavens, with vast seas of lightning crashing down, causing the boundless starry sky to tremble, and an astonishing aura of world destruction spreading.

A startled gaze swept across the ancient star of the Big Dipper, and the next moment someone shouted: "Another tribulation today! Wishful thinking!"
