In the game "Covering the Sky," I can create nine kinds of immortal gold.

"Throughout history, whether it's the ancient Celestial Venerables, the Primordial Emperors, or the Great Emperors of the Human Race, they all refer to the same type of powerful beings: the Supreme Beings of Humanity. Above them are the Immortal Realm Powerhouses. Do you understand?"

Both the Black Emperor and Ye Fan could understand that if there really were immortals, then it would be reasonable for them to be stronger than the Great Emperor, since the legendary immortals could live forever, something the Great Emperor could not do.

"From the beginning of the mythological era to the end of the era of the Azure Emperor, there were roughly dozens of supreme beings of humanity. Some of them returned to dust and ashes, but others were unwilling to die like that, so they cut themselves and entered the forbidden zone, transforming into supreme beings of the forbidden zone."

Ye Fan was startled. Although he knew about the forbidden zone and that it concealed something extremely terrifying, he didn't know what it was. Now he realized that it was all once supreme beings.

"We'll talk about the Supreme Ruler of the Forbidden Zone later. Let's talk about the ranking of the Great Emperors, which is what you're most interested in."

Black Emperor and Ye Fan nodded repeatedly. Although they were also interested in the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone, they were now clearly more interested in the ranking of combat power.

"First of all, the nine Heavenly Venerables of the mythological era were all extremely powerful. They were all strong enough to live out their third or even fourth lives, far stronger than the first or second lives of the Supreme Beings. They even created the Nine Secrets, which are secret techniques that have reached the pinnacle in nine fields. Legend has it that the combination of the Nine Secrets can be comparable to immortal arts."

"Among the nine Heavenly Venerables, there is one who is undoubtedly the strongest, and that is the ancient Heavenly Court's ruler, the Emperor!"

This was the first time Ye Fan had heard about the ancient Heavenly Court. Thinking of the Heavenly Court in Earth's mythology, he immediately felt that this Emperor must be very powerful.

The Black Emperor knew about the Emperor. Although he admired the Great Emperor Wushi, he also felt that the Emperor might be stronger.

"The Emperor not only established the Heavenly Court, but also saw the emergence of many other Great Emperors in that era, breaking the convention that there could only be one Emperor in an era. Even so, he was still the strongest being, which shows just how powerful he was. Ranking him in the top three is no problem, right?"

Black Emperor nodded.

"Indeed, the Emperor is unique throughout history, and I would accept that he is stronger than the Great Emperor. But apart from the Emperor, I don't believe anyone is stronger than the Great Emperor!"

Zhang Taichu nodded slightly.

"That's why I said the Great Emperor Wushi was in the top three, not third, because there was another Great Emperor who was equally brilliant and created nine secret techniques that were powerful enough to rival the Nine Secrets all by herself. Can you guess who she is?"

Ye Fan didn't know much about it and couldn't answer, but the Black Emperor did.

"You mean the Ruthless Great Emperor?"

"That's right. It is said that the Ruthless Great Emperor was just a mortal body and was not suitable for cultivation at all. However, she possessed the highest comprehension in history. She created the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to make up for her lack of talent and became an acquired Chaotic Body. Then, the demonic fetus gave birth to a divine fetus, and she became an innate Chaotic Body."

"As I said before, in terms of physique, the Chaos Body and the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo are the strongest, so the Ruthless Great Emperor is also a being comparable to the Beginningless Great Emperor."

Black Emperor nodded slightly. It was quite afraid of this Great Emperor, and comparing her to the Great Emperor Wushi was indeed reasonable.

"So, according to you, the strongest supreme beings are the Emperor, the Great Emperor Wushi, and the Ruthless Great Emperor?"

"Actually, there is another very strong one, namely the Undying Emperor, who is revered by all the ancient races. Legend has it that he was born in the Immortal Realm, a little phoenix who accidentally fell into the spatial rift between the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm and could not return."

"Just think about it, how powerful would a true celestial bird be if it cultivated itself to the Dao?"

Ye Fan and Black Emperor both gasped. Black Emperor had also learned about the Undying Emperor and heard rumors about him, but he wasn't as certain as Zhang Taichu.

"Hey kid, you're not just spouting nonsense based on unofficial history, are you? The idea that the Immortal Emperor is a celestial bird from the immortal realm is just a legend, and you actually believed it?"

Hei Huang looked doubtful, but Zhang Taichu had a serious expression.

"No, this isn't just hearsay; it's all true. You can trust me; believe me and you'll live forever!"

Black King rolled its eyes, but Ye Fan grabbed its head to stop it from saying anything more.

"Anyone else? The Immortal Emperor can also be ranked in the top three? Isn't there already four people like that?"

"No, the Undying Emperor is at most ranked fourth. He is slightly weaker than the Great Emperor Wushi and the Ruthless Great Emperor, but the difference is not significant. If the Great Emperor Wushi's combat power is 100, then the Undying Emperor's is 98."

Such a modern metaphor immediately shocked Ye Fan, making him wonder if Zhang Taichu was also from Earth.

"Actually, I can't definitively say who is stronger or weaker among the top three, but there is one person who is undoubtedly the strongest. His name has even been erased from history, becoming an unmentionable existence, but the deeds he has done are known to all cultivators."

The Black Emperor was already about to bite Ye Fan, but upon hearing that someone was 100% stronger than the Great Emperor Wushi, it became unconvinced.

"Who is it? Who's so awesome? I'd like to hear it."

Ye Fan also showed a longing expression. In his heart, the two Great Emperors, Wu Shi and Ruthless, were already insurmountable mountains. Now that he had heard of someone who was far superior to them, he was naturally very interested.

Zhang Taichu didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"This person's name cannot be mentioned. I will only talk about what he did. He paved the way for our Beidou to become immortal."

Black Emperor and Ye Fan both changed color at the same time, while Zhang Taichu chuckled.

"In other words, he is the first true immortal, and that's a fact, not just speculation like that of the Great Emperor Wushi. Do you understand now?"

"The first immortal to ascend to immortality in the Big Dipper? An existence that cannot be mentioned? He personally paved the way to immortality? Hiss..."

Black Emperor gasped repeatedly. Even with its vast knowledge, it had to admit that if what Zhang Taichu said was true, then he was indeed far stronger than the Great Emperor Wushi, and even the Emperor Venerable would find it difficult to compare.

After explaining the facts, Zhang Taichu not only narrowed the distance between himself and Hei Huang and Ye Fan, but also created a persona of someone who knows everything.

Don't underestimate this persona; it can play a crucial role at critical moments.

In the original novel, the reason why Ye Fan respected the Empress so much was not only because of the karma between them, but also because Ye Fan learned from the Empress that it was truly possible to become an immortal.

This was extremely important. At that time, Ye Fan was already the Heavenly Emperor and had almost reached the end of his cultivation. He had no idea how to proceed.

But the Empress's words rekindled his fighting spirit.

In contrast, there is the Chaos Body King Bo, who, despite already being an emperor, lived a second life and even severed his Chaos Body origin to cultivate and become an emperor again with a mortal body.

But because he didn't know which way to go, he stubbornly tried to force his way to immortality, and ended up dying.

It's important to know that to force your way through, you need the strength of a Mortal Immortal; otherwise, you need to be at the right time and place to succeed. If someone had reminded Wang Bo at the time, he wouldn't have died so inexplicably.

Zhang Taichu is now cultivating the persona of someone who knows everything, just so he can show off in front of Ye Fan later.

After making preparations, the two people and the dog set off for the old site of Yaochi...
