Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 411 Still on the Way
The Kunlun Mountains are usually very quiet, with only a few creatures on the outer perimeter. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes, and some dangerous places are enough to kill even saints.

But thousands of years ago, there were also continuous palaces in the Kunlun Mountains, where the Kunlun people lived and regarded this place as sacred land.

The ancient palaces are no more, and the Kunlun people have long since disappeared. Only occasionally do great cultivators enter this place in search of fortune and immortal destiny.

Qi Zhe is now sitting cross-legged in the mountains, letting the stone gate be baptized in front of the immortal spring, and pouring jar after jar of five-colored phoenix blood onto it.

"Sizzle!"

The five-colored phoenix blood glowed with a terrifying aura; if it hadn't been completely devoid of killing intent, even a single drop of it could have caused the void in the mountains to shatter.

This is the blood of the Undying Emperor, possessing immeasurable divine power. It was extracted by Qi Zhe from his severed limbs, and ordinary cultivators could use it to refine their bodies, making them strong and immortal.

Several cultivators with varying expressions in the distance were surprised to see this. One of them, a bald man wearing a monk's robe, said:
"Kunlun Mountain has once again witnessed a stroke of good fortune. Is the Great Emperor going to forge a celestial artifact with his imperial blood today? This is truly astonishing!"

He is Shakyamuni, whose cultivation has now reached its peak, standing at the pinnacle of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor. Perhaps he will attain enlightenment in a different way soon.

He was very surprised at this moment, because when he found this place, he saw the current emperor refining a door, and his aura made it impossible to get close.

Now, astonishing laws are hidden in this mountain range. Its deepest part is as hazy as a place where immortals are transformed. When the light rain falls, even quasi-emperors of the Ninth Heaven have to stop.

Beside Shakyamuni stood several other figures, including Laozi, dressed in a Taoist robe with white hair and beard, and the imposing figures of Yan and Huang.

At this moment, the handsome and refined Emperor Yan stood tall, his eyes gazing at Qi Zhe, who was faintly visible in the hazy laws, and said somewhat absentmindedly:

"There is a legend that Kunlun Mountain nurtured a celestial artifact twice, but the legend has been wrong since ancient times. The celestial bell was buried in Kunlun."

"If a celestial artifact is born here in this lifetime, it will be a true second celestial artifact, just like the Emperor's borrowing of the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain to forge an artifact."

As the person who reappeared through the spiritual connection of the corpse of Emperor Hengyu, Emperor Yan's cultivation and knowledge were extraordinary, and he possessed the demeanor of the former Emperor Hengyu in every aspect.

"I have already encountered immortals on the path to immortality in this lifetime, and now an immortal artifact is about to appear in the world. I can already see a glorious era coming."

At this moment, the Yellow Emperor also spoke. He was very similar to the Void Emperor of the past. Although his face was ordinary, he had a kind of wisdom that had seen through the mortal world.

"A great era is coming, and the path to immortality will only be available once more." The venerable Lao Tzu stroked his long beard, his eyes filled with longing.

Those who have cultivated to such a level all aspire to become immortals, simply because their origins are different from others, and enlightenment is not their path.

"I wonder how far I am from becoming an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Shakyamuni sighed with regret, thinking of his divine self on the path to immortality, lamenting that even at that peak, he had not achieved immortality.

"It will take many more years."

Just then, whispers came from the hazy rain of light, as if responding to their discussion, and the next moment Qi Zhe stepped out.

He reappeared, as if the weapon forging was complete, standing in the mountains with a smile on his face, looking at the many ancient people in front of him.

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?" Shakyamuni asked, somewhat surprised and doubtful of Qi Zhe's words. Those around him also stared at Qi Zhe upon hearing this.

"You've misunderstood. I was merely lamenting about weapon forging."

Although Qi Zhe was smiling, he still felt somewhat helpless, because refining the stone gate into a celestial artifact was not something that could be accomplished in a short time.

Even with the blood of the Immortal Emperor, the Stone Gate still needs time to transform; a hundred years might not be enough, and it might take several hundred years to complete.

However, Qi Zhe was not in a hurry. If it took ten thousand years, that would indeed be a very long time, but a hundred years was just a day or two for him, and he could wait. However, Shakya and the others did not believe it, feeling that there was a deeper meaning in Qi Zhe's words. Why did he have to speak up at this time?

However, these people did not dwell on it. They all cupped their hands and said, "It is truly an honor for us to have an audience with the Emperor today!"

“Why bother? You all have distinguished backgrounds and are all seniors. It’s enough to address each other as fellow Daoists.” But Qi Zhe just shook his head.

These people were either ancient corpses of Emperor level with spiritual powers, or their former primordial spirits had been revived. Now they called Qi Zhe the Great Emperor, which made him feel a little uneasy.

However, Qi Zhe didn't dwell on it and started walking around in the Kunlun Mountains. He had been here for a long time but hadn't moved around yet.

"Where is the Great Emperor going?" Shakyamuni asked, following behind him with a curious look in his eyes.

The others also looked at Qi Zhe expectantly, because being able to travel and communicate with the Emperor would benefit them all.

"Naturally, it's about seeing the Emperor's methods."

As Qi Zhe spoke, they arrived at a strange place, which was the deepest part of Kunlun. Looking out, one could see a continuous range of strange peaks.

This is the location of the Emperor's Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain. Looking up, there are tens of thousands of dragon head peaks, with vast spiritual energy rising and rare herbs and plants everywhere.

"The land where the Emperor attained immortality was once a calamity for the Divine Land," Lao Tzu sighed, stroking his beard and gazing at the land.

The land of immortals was not a good place for Earth. It used to absorb the essence of the Earth and almost destroyed the Earth's cultivation environment.

More than two thousand years ago, they had to leave, and the saints went into the starry sky, leaving only a few of their successors behind.

Fortunately, many years ago Ye Fan took the Green Cauldron that had sunk in the Immortal Ascension Land, allowing the essence of the Immortal Ascension Land to nourish the Earth, which restored it to a great extent.

"I still remember that in ancient times, a divine dynasty brought a broken green cauldron to the land of immortals. After that divine dynasty was destroyed, many people came after hearing about it."

Many great wars have occurred on Earth in ancient times, involving not only the Immortal Bell and Kunlun, but also others who coveted the Immortal Land and the Green Cauldron.

Recalling that history, the ancients behind Qi Zhe sighed deeply, recalling many local anecdotes and seeing the traces left by the former emperor.

"Achieving immortality is a tribulation, and longevity is a calamity. Most people and their lineages are slowly heading towards self-destruction. This is true for the Heavenly Court, and it is true for the Underworld, let alone a divine dynasty."

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this and strode into the land of immortality, intending to observe the various methods employed by the Emperor and the Underworld Lord as he proceeded.

However, Qi Zhe did not linger. In his eyes, the current place of immortality was nothing special. Soon, Qi Zhe left Kunlun and entered the mortal world.

Qi Zhe didn't have any particular purpose; he just wanted to see how this place differed from the old place he remembered. Before he knew it, he had traveled to many places.

"The Great Emperor is very familiar with this place." Shakyamuni and Yanhuang were surprised to find that Qi Zhe was actually quite at ease with this mortal world, like a mortal who had lived here for a long time.

"It's just that we're familiar with each other."

But for Qi Zhe, this was a journey that was both strange and familiar, and he knew from the beginning that the scenery here was not suitable for him, and that his worldly ties had long been severed.

"boom!!!"

Meanwhile, people had already arrived in the starry sky. Many great saints and quasi-emperors rushed to the outside of Hangu Pass on Earth, causing this majestic pass to appear on its own and block the way.

"We wish to pay our respects to the Great Emperor today!"
