Chapter 439 A Clay Pot

A great battle left behind three corpses, blood stained the universe, and a mournful song echoed through the heavens and earth. Thus, people witnessed the birth of a new emperor.

Today, the world watches as his figure, radiant with light, stands amidst the lightning, his Dao etched into heaven and earth, resonating with all paths.

Old Golden Crow emerged victorious in this battle, personally killing the Emperor and watching the two rival generals perish together, with only he surviving.

"His Majesty of the Golden Crow Clan has attained enlightenment, but it's a pity about the other three!"

People lamented that no victor emerged between the two divine generals. In their final battle in their twilight years, even with their unparalleled fighting prowess, they had lost the vigor of their former selves.

To stand at the end of the extreme path and meet their demise together can be considered their best ending. The two who fought each other all their lives were buried together on this day.

"So many outstanding people have been buried by time. If they had lived in different lifetimes, perhaps they could have all attained enlightenment!"

Many cultivators who knew their identities felt sorry for them. They had admired these two once-unparalleled heroes, and now they were saddened by their passing.

Once the world had calmed down, many began to cheer for the birth of the new emperor and for Qi Zhe's creation of such a prosperous era.

They knew that all of this was Qi Zhe's doing, and even if a new emperor were born, it would be difficult to catch up with him. He stood alone at the summit.

"With two people ascending the throne in a row over hundreds of years, this golden age will eventually fade away like a fleeting curtain, falling into a trough that will last for thousands of years."

However, some people have made terrifying predictions. Some powerful figures believe that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will inevitably decline and will have a long recovery period in the future.

Soon after, this prophecy was speculated to be true, and the newly enlightened Golden Crow Emperor gave a positive statement, saying that the next 100,000 years would be difficult.

"Ten thousand years is far too long; I only wish for glory in this lifetime!"

Many outstanding individuals lamented this, knowing that once they fell into the arduous path, the difficulty of attaining enlightenment would greatly increase, and Heaven and Earth would prevent the strong from attaining enlightenment.

Just like the era after the Battle Saint Emperor and the Great Emperor Wushi, the essence of heaven and earth became thin, the Great Dao gradually became higher and more distant, and even the intensity of the Emperor Tribulation would greatly increase.

Even with extraordinary talent, one may not be able to survive the Emperor Tribulation even if they venture into unconventional paths to enlightenment, because the difficulty of this tribulation varies from person to person.

The grand and glorious era has begun, and many outstanding figures of this era begin to move against the imperial path, striving for a glorious future.

At the same time, Qi Zhe disappeared once again. He no longer manifested, and it was difficult to see him in the human world. He could only be seen occasionally in the Kunlun Mountains.

People didn't know what he was doing. Even the three ancient emperors couldn't figure it out. They only knew that he often went in and out of the Chaos, and each time it would last for more than ten years.

Even though the newly enlightened Golden Crow Emperor went to Kunlun hoping to pay his respects, he did not meet Qi Zhe. Only the three ancient emperors received him.

Such a level of achievement is awe-inspiring.

In the end, even the Golden Crow Emperor sighed, realizing that he was able to attain enlightenment only because Qi Zhe intervened and removed the suppression of the Emperor's Dao. Even as an emperor, he knew he was far inferior to Qi Zhe.

In the end, he could only leave, gazing at the hidden Kunlun Mountains in the starry sky. He knew that this was not a place he could control, not even as an emperor.

Finally, he returned to Huosang Star and began to establish his own demon race heavenly court, which in just a hundred years became the sacred land of the demon race.

During this period, one after another outstanding individuals began to step into the Quasi-Emperor realm, and a glorious era seemed to unfold, with the names of many generals below the Great Emperor beginning to shine.

The names of Tai Chu, Di Huang, Dao Yi, Zhang Bai Ren, Huang Xu Dao, and Shen Can Dao Ren resounded throughout the universe, each one shining brightly.

They have gathered here since ancient times, each with an extraordinary background. After being sealed off for so many years, they have come together in this life, dazzling people to the point of being blinded.

Many legends have been left behind by contemporary heroes such as the Divine Lord, Yin Tiande, and Ye Fan, and countless battle songs have been composed.

"boom!!!"

A century later, someone in the universe ascended to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor at an astonishing speed, bringing about a great calamity, and world-shaking lightning began to flash. He was Ye Fan. From the moment he embarked on the path of cultivation to catch up with the Holy Sons, his cultivation speed was not slow, and today he was about to achieve great success.

It was three hundred years faster than the Black Emperor had predicted. Even without the experiences during the Dark Turmoil, he still reached this point, achieving great success at over seven hundred years old.

Even the Golden Crow Emperor exclaimed in amazement, "Such talent is truly extraordinary!"

Ye Fan's rise was rapid; reaching the Ninth Heaven in seven hundred years was an exceptional achievement, far surpassing the talent of many imperial princes of his age.

As Ye Fan achieved great success, many more people followed suit in the years that followed. Not wanting to fall behind, many outstanding individuals began to climb step by step.

A glorious era began, so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes. For many years after Qi Zhe disappeared, this universe was never at peace.

Battles broke out continuously, and various prodigies honed their skills by using their opponents. Even Ye Fan was not immune, as people began to challenge him one after another.

As hundreds of years passed, rumors about the path to immortality began to circulate in the world, with some saying that a second opportunity to become an immortal was about to manifest.

"A path to immortality will open on Flying Immortal Star!"

In this era, the supreme beings in the universe have perished, and many powerful beings have gathered. Naturally, such news can be verified as true very quickly.

"Immortal!"

The Golden Crow Emperor on Fire Mulberry Star had eyes that shone with divine light. He had become an emperor and was invincible except for the Heavenly Emperor. Even Ye Fan might not be able to defeat him.

Now, six hundred years after attaining enlightenment, he has arrived on the Flying Immortal Star and is staying on a demonic land filled with ethereal light, waiting for the path to immortality to open so he can enter the immortal realm.

"Looking back, it feels like yesterday."

Ye Fan also arrived. As one of the few supreme beings in the world, he has now achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body for four hundred years and has the strength to venture into the Immortal Path.

"The path to immortality is about to manifest; perhaps this is an opportunity."

Even the three ancient emperors who had been lying dormant in Kunlun were making moves. They also felt that this was an opportunity, simply because they had a hundred years of peak imperial destiny to squander.

"But he's not here."

But then whispers echoed through the Kunlun Mountains. Qi Zhe had been appearing and disappearing mysteriously for over six hundred years, and even the Supreme One did not know where he was now.

The Immortal Path is about to open, but Qi Zhe has not yet appeared, causing the three ancient emperors to feel something is amiss, and they all feel that Qi Zhe may not be optimistic about this opportunity.

"It's not that I don't believe in it, it's just that I know this path isn't suitable."

Without a sound, Qi Zhe appeared, his voice echoing through Kunlun. He stood atop Kunlun Mountain, surrounded by a hazy, chaotic mist.

He had been missing for many years, and now his eyes held a hint of vicissitude, his robes were somewhat tattered, and he was holding a clay pot in his arms.

Over the years, he has been searching for a place where he can plant the Chaos Immortal Root, because the Chaos Immortal Root cannot grow in the Nine Heavens, and can only be nurtured in the world-shaking immortal soil.

He then set off on his journey, and instead of getting lost in the chaos, he found a wrecked ship just ten years into his journey, which allowed him to travel through the chaos.

He gained a lot along the way, saw the newly born universe, and, as if by divine inspiration, passed down his cultivation method in that realm.

Ten years ago, he received an extraordinary stroke of luck, encountering an ancient immortal in a chaotic battlefield, who entrusted him with his affairs after death.

Now Qi Zhe has returned, carrying an ancient earthenware jar, which he plans to bury at the foot of Kunlun Mountain before setting off again.

As for the path to immortality, he had no intention of giving it a second glance.
