I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

Xu Yi shook his head and said, "The problem is that the Emperor is not dead yet. He is hiding behind the scenes. As far as I know, he has now reached the level of a Mortal Immortal, and he is even stronger than you!"

“You’re not dead, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem. Your brother is the Emperor’s father; if you achieve enlightenment, he can’t stop you,” the ruthless man said.

“You don’t understand. Do you know why the Emperor’s attempt to ascend to immortality failed back then? You should know that back then, there were several supreme beings at the pinnacle of power in the Heavenly Court, with all the Great Emperors existing together!” Xu Yi said.

The ruthless man shook his head.

"One possibility is that the Emperor does not simply ascend to immortality through teaching, but rather wants to refine the entire world to become an immortal and become the strongest immortal."

The plan was discovered in advance, so during the ascension ceremony, they were ambushed and besieged by many supreme beings, and finally faked their death to hide.

"Now that so many years have passed, the Emperor's hidden strength has become even greater. Once I attain enlightenment, the Emperor will very likely emerge ahead of schedule," Xu Yi said.

"So be it. If being born is detrimental to my brother, I'll just kill him," the ruthless man replied.

“Sister, I’m not worried that the Emperor will harm me. I watched him grow up. To be honest, I don’t believe that he ultimately chose to devour and refine the world in order to become an immortal. Something must have happened!”

But I'm also worried that this is the truth. Can you understand how I feel? Xu Yi's expression was complicated.

"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand! I only know that I will kill anyone who dares to harm my brother," the ruthless man said.

"..." Xu Yi.

"My little sister is the best!"

Xu Yi didn't say anything more, it seemed that becoming emperor was inevitable.

Instead of worrying about the Emperor's filial piety, one's own strength is the only true measure of success.

People always change, and the Emperor may no longer be his little peace.

For Xiao Ping'an, whose life spanned only a few decades, it was but a drop in the ocean, a mere fraction of a millennium.

"I sense another faint aura in this desolate ancient forbidden zone. Who is it?" Xu Yi asked.

"That was once a Great Accomplished Holy Body. Actually, he was the one who created the Ancient Forbidden Zone in the beginning. Although he transformed the Forbidden Zone and became its master, he did not cause any dark turmoil. So I intervened to slow down the cracking of his Immortal Platform. However, his time is running out, and he won't live much longer," the ruthless man explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi was moved. Not all those who achieve the Great Perfection Holy Body are like Ye Fan, able to break the curse, attain enlightenment in an unconventional way, and live life after life in reverse!

For most people, once they reach the Great Accomplishment stage of the Holy Body, that's pretty much the end of their potential!

"Brother, do you have any ideas?" The ruthless man noticed Xu Yi's expression.

"Such a person, it's a pity he passed away peacefully. Did he take the elixir of immortality?" Xu Yi asked.

"No, although I planted the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality, it was divided into nine, so it no longer has the effect of granting another life. Although there are other divine medicines in the world, finding them requires a certain amount of luck. I am already a mortal immortal, so I don't need the elixir of immortality," the ruthless man said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi took out an immortal elixir from his spatial storage and gave it to the ruthless man. At the same time, he took out a jade slip and said, "The insights inside may be useful for the Great Perfection Holy Body. Whether he can reverse his life depends on him."

Xu Yi was once a Great Perfection Holy Body cultivator, and he considered himself quite knowledgeable in cultivating the Holy Body. Back in his previous life as the Western Emperor, he had already perfected his Holy Body cultivation.

If it weren't for the Western Emperor's attainment of Dao, he would have been severely injured and cursed by multiple Supreme Beings from Forbidden Zones, and might have attained Dao through an alternative path using his Holy Body.

P.S.: I'd like to ask for your vote.

Chapter 149 Stubborn as a rock, beautiful as jade, achieving enlightenment in an extremely unconventional way.

The Great Way Chat Group.

Black Emperor: "Congratulations! My master has achieved the Great Perfection of the Chaos Body. He is the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and earth, dominating all ages and suppressing all enemies!"

He loves drinking animal milk: "You damn dog, what are you saying?"

Black Emperor: "You brat, what are you calling a dead dog? Call me, the Demon Emperor, or I'll take you as my pet!"

Her favorite drink is animal milk: "Brother Xu Yi, I want to roast Black Emperor's dog penis."

Black Emperor: "..."

Eastern Wilderness God King: "Brother Xu, has your Chaos Body been fully perfected?"

The lonely old man, Gai Jiuyou, said, "Doesn't this mean that a chaotic being with the combat power of a Great Emperor appeared even though the Heavenly Heart Mark didn't appear?!"

The Chaos Body at its peak possesses the true combat power of a Great Emperor, and is far more powerful than someone who has just entered the Great Emperor realm.

The Great Emperor realm also has varying degrees of strength, with the strongest among them holding the title of Heavenly Emperor.

A Heavenly Emperor-level Great Emperor is basically able to deal with several Dao-attaining beings at the same time, and even suppress them!

In the age of mythology, there was once a Chaos Body. This Chaos Body, without achieving great success, killed a Celestial Venerable, who was at the pinnacle of his time, which is enough to show how extraordinary the Chaos Body was!

In that battle, the Chaos Body was suppressed and killed, and most of its primordial spirits were wiped out, leaving only a wisp of primordial spirit to escape.

That contemporary Celestial Venerable won, but was severely injured and passed away not long afterward.

Xu Yi: "Not bad, I just completed the Great Tribulation not long ago. However, I used the Great Dao Palace to conceal my tribulation aura. Otherwise, if I had directly undergone the tribulation in the mortal world, it would have attracted the covetousness of the supreme beings of the entire universe. Although I am not afraid, it would have been quite troublesome."

The lonely old man, Gai Jiuyou, said, "In that case, wouldn't it be safe to go to the Supreme Forbidden Zone of the Reincarnation Sea?"

Eastern Wilderness God King: "Indeed, it's stable. A fully formed Chaos Body is enough to suppress an era!"

The lonely old man, Gai Jiuyou, said, "Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Xu, what level has your cultivation reached?"

Xu Yi: "I have reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and the five great secret realms have been united. I can make the final leap at any time and prove myself as a Great Emperor!"

The lonely old man, Gai Jiuyou, said, "Alas, it seems that I am destined to have no connection with the Great Emperor in this lifetime."

Gai Jiuyou was a bit numb. He had been unable to achieve Dao because of the suppression of the Azure Emperor's Great Dao. He had forced himself to achieve Dao and was directly attacked by the backlash.

Now Xu Yi is about to attain enlightenment. Once Xu Yi merges with the Heavenly Heart Mark, Xu Yi's Dao and even the Chaos Dao will suppress the entire universe. In the next ten thousand, twenty thousand, or even thirty thousand years, it will be virtually impossible for anyone in the entire universe to attain enlightenment!

The lifespan of a Great Completion Chaotic Body is far greater than that of an ordinary Great Emperor. As long as the Great Emperor of the current era does not die, his Dao will not dissipate, and those who come after him will never have a chance to rise to prominence.

The descendant of the Demon Emperor: "Alas, there's no hope of becoming an emperor in this life. It seems I can only seal myself off."

Among the members of the Unraveling Clan, the one with the best chance of becoming an emperor is actually Yan Ruyu. As a descendant of the Azure Emperor, she possesses the heart of a demon emperor and the imperial weapon Chaos Azure Lotus. Coupled with her heaven-defying comprehension and transcendent state of mind, even if she ultimately fails to become an emperor, she can at least cultivate to the quasi-emperor realm!

Now that the Great Dao Chat Group exists, Emperor Cheng still has a very good chance.

Unfortunately, there's an even more extraordinary Xu Yi who has achieved enlightenment ahead of him... which is quite awkward.

Holy Maiden Didou: "I've already exhausted all my efforts. I'm content as long as I can cultivate to the level of Quasi-Emperor."

The Holy Maiden of Miaoyu Temple: "Ahem."

Black Emperor: "Little vixen Yao Xi, it's not that I look down on you, but if it weren't for your heaven-defying opportunities, with your talent, you'd be lucky to even reach the Great Sage level, let alone a Quasi-Emperor..."

Imperial Saintess: "You damned dog!"

The Heaven-Mending Saintess: "Congratulations, Young Master Xu Yi!"

Yue Chan sent her congratulations. Fortunately, she and Xu Yi were not from the same era. However, according to the later tradition of only having one Great Emperor per generation, even the most talented person would be depressed to death in this situation!

Shi Yi: "Congratulations, Senior Xu Yi!"

Shi Yi also sent his congratulations. After being severely beaten, Shi Yi has changed a lot.

Qi Jingchun: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xu Yi!"

Wudang King Ye: "Congratulations, Brother Yi!"

Han Li of the Seven Mysteries Sect: "Congratulations, Brother Xu!"

Wang Lin: "Same here!"

Luo Feng: "Congratulations, Brother Xu!"

Star Illusion King: "Congratulations, Senior Xu!"

Xu Yi: "Alright, stop congratulating me. You all need to work hard in your cultivation as well."

The descendant of the Demon Emperor: "Young Master Xu Yi, do you think we still have a chance to become emperors?"

Di Dou Saintess: "Fairy Yan, unless you cultivate to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor now and become an Emperor first, you will have no chance."

Black Emperor: "That's right. With Master's Chaotic Body bloodline, he can live for 20,000 to 30,000 years. Add the elixir of immortality, and another 20,000 to 30,000 years. Then, with Master's talent, he can live another lifetime, and another 20,000 to 30,000 to 40,000 to 50,000 years. Add it all up, the next 100,000 years will be Master's era. You have no chance..."

Descendant of the Demon Emperor: "..."

Eastern Wilderness God King: "Sigh!"

The lonely old man, Gai Jiuyou, sighed, "Alas!"

Wudang Wang Ye: "Sigh!"

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng: "Master Wang, what are you sighing about? You and Master Xu are from completely different worlds."

Wudang Wang Ye said, "It's just that the heroes of this world are like crucian carp crossing a river. Even if thousands of troops and horses try to cross a single-plank bridge, in the end only one person can make it out."

Xu Yi: "Actually, it's not that there's no way out, and the Great Emperor is not the end. Old Gai has already taken this step."

The lonely old man, Gai Jiuyou, asked, "?"

Eastern Wilderness God King: "Could it be?"

Xu Yi: "An alternative path to enlightenment is actually a more promising method of cultivation."

Descendant of the Demon Emperor: "An Alternative Path to Enlightenment!"

Xu Yi: "Not bad, an alternative path to enlightenment. The five secret realms are combined to forge one's own Dao Fruit. Only when the Dao Fruits are integrated and merged with the Heavenly Heart Imprint can one become a Great Emperor."

However, those who achieve enlightenment through unconventional methods, reaching the pinnacle of their cultivation, can also possess Emperor-level combat power!

The lonely old man Gai Jiuyou said, "It's just an alternative path to enlightenment, but it's missing a step, so there's a gap in combat power compared to the flawless emperor."

Xu Yi: "During the chaotic ancient times, it was not necessary to obtain the Heavenly Heart Imprint to become a Supreme Being or even an Ultimate Supreme Being. On the contrary, many Supreme Beings could coexist at that time!"

The reason why the world cannot produce two Great Emperors in one lifetime is essentially because the environment has deteriorated and can no longer accommodate the Dao imprints of two Great Emperors. This is why the Heavenly Heart Imprint appears, and only a single Great Emperor can fuse with it!

Even though there was no Heavenly Heart Mark during the chaotic ancient period, many supreme beings still appeared.

The secret cultivation method we practice is even stronger than the chaotic ancient method. It uses the body as a seed and is essentially about developing the potential of the physical body, without relying on heaven and earth or the universe.

Therefore, in my opinion, most of the supreme beings in the chaotic ancient period can be considered to have achieved enlightenment in an alternative way, pushing their own path to its ultimate peak, even reaching the level of the ultimate supreme being, which is the great emperor of later generations!

It's not that there were no other Dao attainers in later generations, but due to the limitations of lifespan, many people were unable to push their Dao to a perfect state and take their alternative path to its extreme!

Now that you've joined the Great Dao Chat Group, you don't need to worry about your lifespan. As long as you continuously refine your Dao and become truly unique, you will eventually be able to break through and surpass it!

Xu Yi's principle is actually very simple: if one cultivates the alternative path to enlightenment to the extreme, and one's own path is strong enough, one can directly use one's own path to overturn all the imprints of the myriad paths and tread on them. At that time, whether or not there is a Heavenly Heart Imprint will not matter.

The supreme beings of the chaotic ancient era could do this, not because they were so powerful, but because they could live. Each of them lived for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years!

In Ye Fan's words, even a pig could become an immortal in a million years.

As a person from the later era of Shrouding the Heavens, if you have a million years to temper your own path, there's no reason why you should be inferior to a pig!

Moreover, there's the helpful tool of chat groups!

Chapter 150 Black Emperor Rider Duan De, Seizes Luo Feng's Body

Eastern Wilderness, Yandu.

Xu Yi left the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone, but Ruthless didn't come out with him. When he left, Ruthless's sister's eyes were full of resentment, which made Xu Yi's scalp tingle. He almost thought that Ruthless was going to keep him here for tens of thousands of years!

At an inn, Xu Yi met Yao Xi, An Miaoyi, and Hei Huang.

“Master, oh dear, we forgot someone. No, it’s a horse!” Black Emperor scratched his head.

"The dragon horse of Kunlun Mountain?" Xu Yi said.

“Not bad, we all forgot about this guy. The Dragon Horse was the mount of an ancient emperor. It could even sever the Dao on Earth. Maybe it can break through to the Quasi-Emperor level here in the future! Master, you are now the emperor of this era. You need a mount to match your status.” The Black Emperor’s eyes were burning with desire.

Xu Yi patted Black Emperor's head. Although Black Emperor was very cunning and unreliable, full of bad ideas, he was still very obedient to him.

His gaze fell on An Miaoyi, who was holding a small purple squirrel in her arms. It was the same squirrel she had brought back from the western snow region years ago. The squirrel had always stayed by An Miaoyi's side and its cultivation had reached the late stage of the Dao Palace realm. It would soon reach the fourth level.

In the original timeline, Xiaosong, who possessed a pure heart, also attained enlightenment and became an emperor in the Golden Age. He was simply a born genius in cultivation, and could be described as a child who was close to becoming an immortal!

Even the newborn daughter of the Big Dipper, or even the emperor's son, are no match for this little fellow before them.

Feeling Xu Yi's gaze, Xiao Song revealed a human-like smile, looking very happy. He felt very comfortable in this new world, and the oppression of heaven and earth was not so severe!

"That silly roe deer!" Black Emperor muttered.

Afterwards, Xu Yi went shopping with Yao Xi and An Miaoyi.

Black King, relying on its master's power, walked at the front, looking down on passersby with disdain, "What are you looking at? Look again, and I'll make you my pets!"

Passersby avoid the talking black dog like the plague.
