Chapter 39 You can fight for the Emperor's Path, I'll fight for the Immortal Path
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi did not follow. She only saw that after He Lang and Yao Guang exchanged a few words, Yao Guang, who was usually calm and composed, seemed to have become a different person. She was extremely curious and asked He Lang about it when he came over.

"I just scared him a little."

He Lang didn't elaborate, and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi understood, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Brother Heavenly Emperor, you are so majestic! With just a few words, you have made King Yaoguang restless."

Huo Lin'er moved gracefully towards He Lang and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. Her voice was melodious, like heavenly music, and she had a faint smile on her face. She had also noticed the scene from earlier.

Actually, it wasn't just her. Many of the young kings gathered here paid attention to He Lang when he approached Yao Guang. They were also curious about what He Lang and Yao Guang talked about that moved Yao Guang, who had always been unfathomable.

"Nothing much, I just saw him staring at you, the princess who is as beautiful as an angel, and asked him if he had taken a fancy to you."

"Brother Dao, I never expected you to be such a lecherous rogue!"

Huo Lin'er rolled her eyes at him, but she wasn't angry. She didn't believe that the two were talking about this. According to her divine eyes, Yao Guang was already itching to go on a killing spree. His gaze was casually fixed on Hua Yunfei, the human prodigy, which was probably related to this.

"A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman. Which of you goddesses is not the dream goddess of the Northern Dipper's prodigies? It's only human nature."

There was no frivolity in He Lang's eyes; instead, he spoke calmly and composedly.

"Hehe, I wonder which goddess has entered your dream this time, fellow Daoist?"

Huo Lin'er looked around at the proud women of heaven, such as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, the Holy Maiden of Zifu, Yan Ruyu, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Yao Xi, and Qi Huoshui, the younger sister of Nan Yao, and asked with a gentle smile.

"What do you mean one or two? I am a loving person."

Hearing his words, Huo Lin'er was stunned. Her smile gradually disappeared from her face, and a black line appeared on her fair forehead.

The others weren't much better off; men were speechless and women wept, utterly bewildered by Lang's carefree words.

"You really are as thick-skinned as the legends say!" Huo Lin'er exclaimed in amazement.

He Lang was about to retort when a bolt of black lightning interrupted him.

"Woof woof, the Purple Mansion Saintess is no good. Without her, how can the Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo be born?"

The Black Emperor appeared out of nowhere, panting as it spoke. Its appearance made the Purple Mansion Saintess furrow her brows, and she almost rushed over to tear it apart.

Don't misunderstand, it's not that the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion has feelings for He Lang, but rather that the Black Emperor and the Purple Mansion Holy Land are too deeply entangled.

Ever since leaving Purple Mountain and learning that the Purple Mansion Saintess was a primordial Dao embryo, it has been running to the Purple Mansion Holy Land whenever it has free time, wailing and howling, disturbing the peace of the Purple Mansion Holy Land. It even said that the Purple Mansion Holy Land should prioritize the overall situation and betroth the Purple Mansion Saintess to Ye Fan, completely disregarding the objections of Ye Fan and the Purple Mansion Saintess.

The Purple Mansion Saint Son, who was born alongside the Purple Mansion Saintess, was often asked by it to capture He Lang and the others. As for why it wasn't called Ye Fan, Ye Fan said he had to save face!

He felt that Black Emperor was like a bandit tyrant, having done all sorts of bad things! In the end, it was Ye Fan who seriously asked Black Emperor not to mess around, and only then did he pull Black Emperor's reins back.

Now that the 'enemies' have met, they are naturally filled with envy.

Seeing the actions of the Purple Mansion Saintess, the Black Emperor quickly slipped away again.

His interruption broke the delicate atmosphere, and everyone tacitly moved on from the previous topic. He Lang dared to say anything, leaving everyone speechless.

Following Huo Lin'er's lead, the other young kings also came over and greeted He Lang. After all, they were all acquaintances, so it was not appropriate to pretend not to know each other. Some of them had broken through to the Dao-Slaying King realm, while others were still hovering in the second level of the Immortal Realm. He Lang did not look down on them from a high position, but continued to communicate with them as usual, which surprised some of them greatly.

They talked about the past and looked to the future, their hearts filled with sighs. Some of their old rivals said they never expected He Lang to have come to this point, their tone a mix of emotion and relief.

"Heavenly Emperor, you have already stepped ahead of the world. We wonder if you will embark on the path of the strongest trial. We would like to invite you to join us."

At the end of the conversation, the Central Emperor from Zhongzhou, who had once lived in the same era as Gai Jiuyou, spoke up and extended an invitation to He Lang.

When he brought up the topic, the group of geniuses all fell silent, waiting for He Lang's response.

Even Huo Lin'er was curious about this question, which was one of the reasons she appeared in the Yaochi Holy Land.

"No, I want to stay in Beidou." He Lang's answer surprised them.

"why?"

The one who asked the question was Huo Lin'er, who was regarded by her brother as a major enemy on the road, yet she chose not to take that road, which puzzled her greatly.

"I know the strongest trial path. It gathers the strongest geniuses from all races under the starry sky. Opportunities and dangers coexist on this path. If you reach the end, you may be able to prove your Dao. However, I will leave this path to you to fight for! The path to immortality is about to open. I will wait for the path to immortality to open in the Big Dipper and enter the Immortal Realm. In the future, I will wait for you in the Immortal Realm."

boom!
He Lang's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of the human and ancient race prodigies, leaving them looking at each other in bewilderment.

Becoming an immortal is an incredibly ancient topic. From ancient emperors and desolate great emperors to cultivators who have just embarked on the path of cultivation, everyone seeks the word "immortality." Recently, some people have indeed mentioned the path to immortality, and many are eager to try. However, He Lang is the first among the young kings of our time to propose to enter the Immortal Realm.

His words struck some young kings who knew the hidden story behind the path to immortality, such as Huo Lin'er, Ji Zi, Yao Guang, and Jiang Yifei, as thunderbolts from the blue.

"Brother Dao, are you serious? If the path to immortality were to appear, unimaginable forbidden beings might emerge from the forbidden zones of life. In the hands of those beings, even a Great Saint who is infinitely close to the Emperor Realm would not be able to contend with them."

Huo Lin'er's words were rather tactful, yet they sent a jolt through some people.

“I know, but they are no longer the invincible people they once were. I am confident that I can compete with them.”

He Lang knew she was referring to the ancient supreme beings sleeping in the forbidden zones of life.

The once invincible ancient emperor, the Great Emperor of the Human Race, ultimately fell victim to the passage of time.

From the moment they stepped into the restricted area, they had already been defeated by their former invincible selves, experiencing their first major defeat in life.

Everyone was astonished by He Lang's invincible will. From the few words Huo Lin'er exchanged with him, everyone could see the vast difference between them, yet He Lang remained unchanged, declaring that he would contend with that being.

Huo Lin'er also fell silent. She and Huo Linzi embarked on the ancient road not only to advance triumphantly and reach the Emperor Realm, but also to avoid that earth-shattering turmoil. However, they never expected that He Lang, the number one genius among the current generation, would say that he wanted to enter the Immortal Realm and disregard the Path of Proof.

"Brother Dao, you have a grand vision. I, Lin'er, wish you success in attaining immortality and ascending to heaven. When you enter the immortal realm one day, please guide me!"

"Absolutely. As long as you are all alive, I will guide you all to the Immortal Realm."

Hearing He Lang's promise, the group of geniuses were speechless. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he had already entered the Immortal Realm.
