After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

Several years later, Xuanyuan Mingzhen settled down in this peach grove in the Nine Lives Realm Sea, which is the true forbidden zone of the Nine Lives Realm Sea.

The Ten-Mile Peach Blossom Forest is the Daoist temple of the Nine-Lives God.

Besides the Nine-Lives God and the woman named Nian Yuan, there was also the young man who welcomed Xuan Yuanming, named Zhao Ming, who was the Nine-Lives God's disciple.

There is also a girl named Tao Yao, who appears to be Nian Yuan's maid, but is actually Tao Ling in disguise.

"Young Master, do you really think that girl named Nian Yuan doesn't know the identity of the Nine Lives God?"

As the two watched the celestial couple playing the zither and dancing with swords in the peach grove, Shenyuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Xuanyuan Ming shook his head upon hearing this.

"Does that matter?"

He said that the Dao of Destiny flows between his eyes, and he can see things that ordinary people cannot see. Luck is also a concrete manifestation of the Great Dao of Destiny.

He saw the fortune above the head of the Nine Lives God Venerable dissipate little by little, but the fortune above the head of the woman named Nian Yuan was also dissipating.

"Is there any way to save him?"

Shenyuan asked again.

This was an unsolvable question, but Xuanyuan Ming did not answer immediately; instead, he remained silent for a long time.

"Probably."

He said that Shenyuan seemed to understand Xuanyuanming's meaning, and the two words came out of his mouth.

"teacher!"

Xuanyuan Ming nodded.

"But he cultivates the Great Dao of Fusion, and his life has long since withered away. Even if you are close to him, you can feel the desolate sense of decay caused by the passing of time."

"Unless the Dao Ancestor is resurrected."

Shenyuan said that he had never seen a single one of the heaven-defying individuals whose minds had collapsed survive. Even in the human realm, it was difficult to do so, let alone now.

Xuanyuan Ming shook his head upon hearing this. His consciousness would enter that River of Destiny almost every so often. Although the majestic figure remained motionless, he could sense that the aura had become even more vast.

The gentleman has become even stronger.

"The very existence of the Master is a great miracle, so how do you know that miracles cannot come from the Master's hands?"

"The trajectory of fate is quietly changing, and all of this is centered around Mr., including me and the people around him."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have woken up, they wouldn't have stepped into the starry sky so early, and they wouldn't have possessed such terrifying talent."

He said that the further he went on the path of destiny, the more he felt the power of the Master, who almost single-handedly changed the fate of countless beings on the Heavenly Emperor Star.

He cultivates the Great Dao of Destiny, but the Master controls the Great Dao of Destiny.

Shenyuan was shocked upon hearing this.

He knew how proud Xuanyuan Ming was. That era had countless geniuses, including holy sons of holy lands, Daoist disciples of ancient families, and successors of Sendai, among others.

Even when facing those people, he could still say, "Come and fight!"

He never felt that he was weaker than anyone else. He felt that he lacked time. If he had time, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even longer, he could suppress everything.

But now, when that person is mentioned, his face shows only reverence.

Should we tell him?

Shen Yuan said, and Xuan Yuanming looked at the two people in the peach grove. The woman named Nian Yuan was playing the zither, and the Nine Lives God was dancing with a sword.

When their eyes occasionally met, their expressions were gentle and filled with smiles.

Just as Xuanyuan Ming was about to speak, a voice came from outside the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.

"Yun Tao, the thirty-first hall master of the God and Demon Hall."

"Cultivator of the Human Realm, do you dare to fight?"

The words broke the tranquility of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest. Both the Nine Lives God and Nian Yuan looked towards the outside of the forest, where a young man in black stood in the sky, staring directly at Xuan Yuanming.

"The Temple of Gods and Demons, what is that?"

Nian Yuan asked, and the Nine Lives God shook his head upon hearing this.

"A force of cultivators."

He said, and Nian Yuan nodded without asking any further questions. She simply held the hand of the Nine Lives God and watched together as Xuan Yuanming walked out of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.

This was the first time Xuanyuan Ming had stepped out of the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest since arriving at the Nine Lives Sea. Even though he knew that countless people were waiting for him outside, he still went out.

"So you still dare to come out after all."

Yun Tao, the master of the thirty-first hall of the God and Demon Palace, looked at Xuan Yuanming and said calmly. There were indeed many people in the sky behind him, but they dared not move forward because of him.

The Temple of Gods and Demons is the true supreme overlord of the Three Thousand Realms Sea.

"What's there to be afraid of coming out?"

Xuanyuan Ming said calmly, standing in the sky, as if he had returned to the scene of countless years ago when he faced the geniuses of the Western Heaven in front of the Burial Heaven Emperor Palace.

"I won't deceive you. You are only at the seventh level of the Creation Realm, so I will suppress my cultivation to the seventh level and fight you. During this time, no one will dare to interfere with this battle."

Yun Tao said, looking around at the world as he spoke, and countless people retreated.

This is his pride as a prodigy of this era, and his determination to defeat the Dao Child of the Human Realm with cultivation at the same level.

Xuanyuan Ming looked at him and smiled.

"There's no need to suppress your cultivation level. Go ahead and fight. If the Divine Demon Palace has bestowed any Dao weapons upon you, use them all. Otherwise, you won't last ten breaths."

He spoke simply, yet his words sent a shockwave through countless people.

Yun Tao also frowned.

However, he was not angered by this; on the contrary, his fighting spirit intensified.

"Very arrogant, fine, then let me see what you're really capable of."

Yun Tao made his move, still suppressing his cultivation level. With his seventh-level Creation Realm cultivation, he transformed the Zhou Tian Stars into an array in an instant, and then pressed down on Xuan Yuanming.

Xuanyuan Ming pointed a finger to the sky, and a monstrous surge of bloodline power erupted forth, like a raging dragon emerging from the heavens, tearing apart the entire celestial sphere and forcing Yun Tao to retreat again and again.

Once they had stopped, he looked at Xuan Yuanming with a solemn expression.

"Sendai bloodline".

He said that he would no longer suppress his cultivation and used the power of the peak of the Creation Realm to create a large star that crashed down on Xuan Yuanming. The power of destiny appeared in Xuan Yuanming's pupils.

With a bluff, countless causal threads were severed, and the great star that had evolved from it collapsed. Then, Yun Tao coughed up blood and retreated, staring at Xuan Yuanming in disbelief.

"The Path of Destiny!"

He said, his previous arrogance gone.

The Nine Lives God was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

You lost.

Xuanyuan Ming said, withdrew his hands, stood with his hands behind his back, and quietly looked at Yun Tao. Yun Tao gave Xuanyuan Ming a deep look, then turned and left.

"Live, and I'll fight you again next time."

He said this, then glanced at the surrounding sky.

"Outside the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest, above the Creation Realm, not a single living being was spared."

As soon as the words were spoken, the guards from the thirty-second hall of the God and Demon Palace attacked in unison, staining the sky red with blood. After the people from the God and Demon Palace left, there was no one left in this part of the sky.

Yun Tao wasn't the only one from the God and Demon Palace to challenge Xuan Yuanming; this became a test task for the Palace Masters below the Tongtian Realm.

However, some people returned empty-handed before even reaching the Ten Mile Peach Blossom Forest.

Under a starry sky, a burly man stared in disbelief at the young man holding a wood-chopping knife in front of him.

"Who are you?"

He asked.

"Ye Buzheng".

The young man said that this was the first time this name had appeared in the Three Thousand Worlds Sea.
