Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 420 Creating the Law and Understanding Life and Death!
The vast heavenly tribulation was filled with dazzling lightning, and every single bolt of lightning displayed astonishing power, no weaker than the Great Emperor's Tribulation. As time went on, it intensified.

However, as the Great Emperor, Qi Zhe was known throughout the world to have no more tribulations to overcome. The only way he could possibly attract a tribulation was to forcibly become an immortal, just like the Primordial Fighting Saint Emperor.

It's no wonder that the Immortal Emperor mistakenly thought Qi Zhe was about to become an immortal, but fortunately, the Immortal Emperor was very knowledgeable and quickly realized that this was not a tribulation to become an immortal.

That's precisely why he felt so confused, because even he couldn't figure out the cause of this great calamity in such a short time, and could only observe everything indifferently.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth roared continuously. Qi Zhe was bathed in lightning, fighting against the arm of the Undying Emperor that had crossed realms in the desolate edge of the universe, and his expression became more and more calm.

This is a tribulation unique to him. It's hard to say whether it's a tribulation of creation in essence, simply because it's the descent of an unorthodox path, and the Great Dao of this world cannot coexist with it.

But no matter how you look at it, it's still somewhat related, and it can be considered a tribulation of creating magic. Once you get through it, you'll be able to directly cast any magic belonging to another realm.

“But now that I’ve come this far, it’s time for my methods to forge their own path!” A moment later, Qi Zhe made his decision.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there is actually no such thing as a path of cultivation. People cultivate ancient methods, and even powerful emperors who create laws and forge scriptures are not considered to have forged their own path.

Because one's own path is completely different from that of predecessors, it requires an incredible approach to the opportunity for evolution, allowing one to become stronger step by step.

This is extremely difficult, and it is by no means a realm that can be easily reached. Not to mention the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even in all the myriad realms and the highest heavens, those who achieve this are extremely rare.

Even though Qi Zhe is now an emperor with extraordinary talent, he still needs to continue moving forward if he wants to make the beginning of a new path.

But now he's not going to wait any longer. Even if he can't forge a complete path today, he'll at least create a prototype.

"Of all the myriad paths, cultivate only one!"

Qi Zhe whispered to himself, feeling that this was a rare opportunity. He wanted to fight a great battle while comprehending the Dao, which would greatly surprise even the Undying Emperor.

"What are you doing!" The Immortal Emperor was furious. He realized that he seemed to have become Qi Zhe's whetstone, and was about to help the other party achieve his goal.

He was unwilling to give up and tried his best to attack at this moment, but unfortunately, how could one arm do anything to Qi Zhe? He had already reached his limit by being able to stop Qi Zhe.

Sensing something was wrong, the Undying Emperor withdrew his attack, gripped the sword in his hand, and retreated from the heavenly tribulation, causing the boundless rain of light to blur. He roared, "You won't get away with this!"

Qi Zhe, however, paid no heed. He stood quietly in the universe, unmoved by the thousands of lightning bolts striking him, his eyes closed in deep thought.

"This calamity is unlike any other, causing this universe to begin rejecting me," Qi Zhe murmured to himself, realizing that this great calamity was no simple matter.

He felt that heaven and earth and all the ways were rejecting him. Even though he had merged with the will of heaven, he, as the emperor, could not stop it. It was as if his imperial throne was about to collapse.

He seemed to have fallen into a state of utter emptiness, existing alone between heaven and earth, as if everything else was irrelevant to him.

Although it was a coincidence, it was what he wanted. Normally, the myriad paths would cause a cacophony in his heart, but now, standing alone outside of them, he found a different kind of peace.

"Where is my path, my way, now?" Qi Zhe murmured to himself, his mind racing with thoughts.

"The path of cultivation in this life is based on the five great secret realms and uses the essence of heaven and earth as its source to tap into the body's potential, but what else is there?"

“Tracing back to the time of the fall of the emperors in ancient history, and going back to the time after the world was reduced to ruins, all cultivation is about refining Qi, and is closely related to the world!”

Qi Zhe was well aware that no matter what kind of method it was, or whether they were the same, their unchanging essence was refining Qi and transforming all energy for one's own use.

Humans and nature depend on each other, just as a fetus sleeps in the womb. The two are never enemies, but rather interdependent.

But the ripe melon will eventually fall to the ground.

Qi Zhe thought about many things. He felt that if a cultivator wanted to become an immortal, he should walk on the path of transcendence from the very beginning and seek true liberation.

In this life, immortality is elusive; even a powerful emperor can only die in the womb. To transcend, one must find the right path. And to walk this path, one must understand why there is flourishing and decay, what the Way of Heaven and Man is, how a cultivator should make choices, and how to settle the great karmic debts with Heaven and Earth.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage."

"The way of man is to give more than enough loss."

Qi Zhe suddenly realized that being like a celestial being in the mortal world meant transcendence, constantly generating celestial essence and settling the great karma with heaven and earth.

"The path from mortal to immortal is a journey through countless cycles of prosperity and decline!"

Qi Zhe suddenly realized that his path must have its ups and downs, otherwise he would not be able to achieve transcendence, and the path of cultivation would then have a glimmer of hope.

"I do not know if my path will grant me immortality, but I am willing to stumble and struggle in that direction. If I succeed, I will become a celestial being!"

At this moment, five streams of energy circulated in Qi Zhe's chest, and the five signs of decay appeared within his body. The sense of decay and prosperity began to emanate, and in an instant, it underwent dozens of changes.

He stood amidst the lightning, as if tens of thousands of years had passed in a short time, aging considerably in an instant, yet inexplicably becoming young again the next moment.

"What is he doing?"

At this moment, many supreme beings exclaimed in surprise. They noticed the change in Qi Zhe and felt the heavenly tribulation surrounding him suddenly intensify.

This is an amazing method. Qi Zhe's path involves immortality, simply because he has thoroughly understood the true meaning of the Five Signs of Decay after so many years of study, and knows how to become an immortal.

Qi Zhe felt that if there was a method to become an immortal, it could only be through decay and prosperity. There was no need to search for the method of reversing life life after life. It was enough to understand the true meaning of decay and prosperity.

Now he wants to integrate the true meaning of life and death into his own path, and leave a path to immortality for the world with his all-knowing Dao.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Imprint trembled, and Qi Zhe's Dao was about to dissipate in the universe. The myriad Daos of this world were about to be rearranged.

"Why is this happening? It seems the Emperor's suppression is about to dissipate!"

This commotion alarmed many people. No one could have predicted that Qi Zhe's tribulation would cause such a disturbance, even causing the Emperor's Mark to surface.

Although Qi Zhe's body was shrouded in a vast expanse of lightning, making it impossible to see what he was doing, the Supreme's startled shout made everyone know that he must be up to something.

"I think I've learned some secrets. You really are extraordinary!"

"Could he truly be a descendant of an immortal!"

Especially now, with the Undying Emperor lurking outside the Heavenly Tribulation, he can increasingly sense the peculiarity of this tribulation and realize that Qi Zhe has a problem.

At this moment, the Undying Emperor, holding the Heavenly Blade, spoke coldly. He had long felt that Qi Zhe was special, and now he couldn't help but guess that the other party came from the Immortal Realm with him.

He remembered the records in the Immortal Realm and vaguely recalled a great calamity that his elders had discussed when he was young, the Creation Calamity, which was said to be the beginning of invincibility.

"The creation of the Dharma has led to the forging of its own path!" Whispers could be heard from beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and those who had long been watching this place were astonished.

At this moment, Qi Zhe, amidst the heavenly tribulation, grew increasingly calm, even whispering, "Autumn after autumn, only the fallen leaves remain."

At this moment, Qi Zhe suddenly changed, seemingly transforming into a towering tree, his feet piercing through the universe, instantly taking root in the chaos.

"This is my path, like a tree taking root, enduring the changing seasons, evergreen for a thousand years, ten thousand years, its flourishing and withering merely a fleeting autumn."

The Way is the Way, the Law is the Law, and the Path is the Path; they cannot be confused.
