Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Previously, no immortals appeared in the Origin Realm because there was no path forward, the Great Dao was incomplete, and immortals could not be achieved. The strong could only transform into forbidden zones.

But now that problem is solved; the method to become an immortal is available, and the place to achieve immortality is also there.

This approach achieves the best of both worlds: it solves the problem of supreme beings in forbidden zones while simultaneously cultivating powerful individuals on the path to immortality.

As for having a way out, some people become complacent. Those geniuses who could have walked the path of immortality in the mortal world might stop doing so because they have a way out in the immortal realm.

That only shows that these people are not worthy of walking the path to immortality in the mortal world, are not talented enough, and are not confident enough.

This is not a true seed for the path to immortality in the mortal world.

True geniuses will not give up their pursuit of higher goals just because they have a way out.

Just like those three young people, Di Chen, Wan Qing, and Qin Ming, once they realized the immense potential of the Immortal Path in the Mortal World, they would never hesitate again and would never choose another path.

Jiang Hao looked at the Immortal Lord Taixu, his gaze profound:

"Fellow Daoist should understand that the reason why the Supreme Being of the Origin Realm is so much stronger than the Supreme Being of the Lesser Immortal Realm is precisely because of the cruel environment of raising Gu in the Origin Realm."

"What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist."

Immortal Lord Taixu nodded in deep agreement.

He had indeed witnessed it firsthand: the supreme beings in the forbidden zones of the Origin Realm were each capable of taking on two or three opponents at once, while the more than two hundred supreme beings in the Lesser Immortal Realm were routed by just a few dozen people.

Do you think the talents of the Supreme Beings in the Lesser Immortal Realm are weaker than those in the Origin Realm? Not necessarily. It's possible that one or two might be weaker, but it's impossible for so many of them to be weaker than those in the Origin Realm.

The environment has a significant impact on this.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang's plan is brilliant," praised Immortal Lord Taixu. "The Lesser Immortal Realm is too comfortable, and the supreme beings it produces are indeed much inferior. Only by maintaining the competition of one emperor per generation in the Human Realm can we force out truly amazing figures."

Jiang Hao nodded, his gaze fixed on the distance, his tone calm yet filled with boundless anticipation:

"Therefore, the old rules of the Origin Realm remain unchanged, allowing truly talented, persevering, and confident individuals to emerge from the most brutal environment. These are the talents we need to face our future formidable enemies."

Immortal Lord Taixu gave Jiang Hao a deep look, then cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, your wisdom and foresight are truly admirable. I have learned a great deal from you. From now on, I am willing to work with you to manage this vast universe and strive for immortality!"

Jiang Hao patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Okay, let's go together."

The two smiled at each other and flew side by side toward the Origin Realm camp.

Within the Origin Realm camp, everyone had been eagerly anticipating this moment.

Upon seeing Jiang Hao's return, the Black Emperor was the first to jump up, shouting, "The Heavenly Emperor is back! The Heavenly Emperor is back!"

Qin Ming clenched his fists, his face full of excitement. Di Chen and Wan Qing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with admiration.

The players in the penalty area straightened their backs, their expressions solemn.

Jiang Hao landed, and everyone clasped their fists in unison: "Congratulations, Heavenly Emperor, on your victorious return!"

"Happy together, happy together!"

Jiang Hao smiled and responded to everyone, then stepped aside to make way for the Immortal Lord Taixu beside him, and introduced him:

"This is Immortal Lord Taixu. From now on, we are family."

Taixu Immortal Lord stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, nodding and smiling at everyone.

Jiang Hao first led him to Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun: "These two are my Daoist friends of many years, Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun."

Immortal Lord Taixu looked at the two of them, his pupils slightly contracting.

Beneath his double pupils, the auras of these two were as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, even stronger than when he had not yet become an immortal.

"Fellow Daoists, may I ask which lifetime you have reached on the path of immortality in the mortal world?" Immortal Lord Taixu asked, cupping his hands in greeting, his tone filled with curiosity.

Lingbao Tianzun smiled slightly, "Six generations."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the face of the Immortal Lord Taixu froze slightly, then turned into a look of amazement.

He took a deep breath, shook his head and laughed, "The Origin Realm is indeed extraordinary. Not only does it have a genius like Fellow Daoist Jiang, but also two fellow Daoists who have walked the Immortal Path of the Mortal World for six lifetimes. With your strength, you are enough to sweep away all the supreme beings in my Little Immortal Realm. It turns out that from the very beginning, our Little Immortal Realm had no chance at all."

Lingbao Tianzun laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Taixu, you flatter me. You have achieved immortality through five lifetimes, and your strength is far superior to ours."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Jiang's intervention, even if the two of us joined forces, we might not be a match for you."

Taixu Immortal Lord shook his head with a wry smile: "Defeat is defeat. Fellow Daoists, there's no need to comfort me. It's already a blessing to have met you all."

Jiang Hao then led him to Di Chen, Wan Qing, and Qin Ming: "These three are my disciples, Di Chen, Wan Qing, and Qin Ming."

The Immortal Lord Taixu's gaze swept over the three of them, his deep pupils gleaming with light.

He first looked at Di Chen, raising an eyebrow slightly. This young man actually possessed the aura of a phoenix.

Looking at Wan Qing again, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes—this young man exuded an inexplicable and mysterious aura.

Its vitality is as vast as the sea, seemingly inexhaustible.

Finally, looking at Qin Ming, he was equally powerful, with an unparalleled physique, no weaker than his double pupils, and perhaps even stronger.

The more Taixu Immortal Lord looked, the more alarmed he became. He couldn't help but turn back to look at Jiang Hao, his eyes filled with inquiry: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, these three wouldn't happen to be immortals..."

He wanted to say "Celestial King," but he was too terrified to say it.

Jiang Hao nodded, his tone calm: "Di Chen came from a celestial egg in the Immortal Realm, Wan Qing is the elixir of immortality in human form, and Qin Ming is a primordial holy body Dao embryo. The elixir of immortality is related to the Immortal King."

"It really is a Celestial King..." The Celestial Lord Taixu's pupils shrank suddenly, and a rare look of shock appeared on his face.

And this young man named Wan Qing in front of us is actually the elixir of immortality in human form?

The Immortal King he had been so desperately seeking actually existed in the Origin Realm!

Immortal Lord Taixu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked at Jiang Hao, and sighed:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, now I am completely convinced that the Origin Realm is the true orthodox realm of the Immortal Realm. What Immortal Domain? It is completely inferior to the Origin Realm. The Origin Realm has the Immortal King who has been born with the Elixir of Immortality, the inheritance of the Immortal King, and the extraordinary talents such as the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo. These Immortal Domains may not even have them."

The people of the Origin Realm smiled slightly upon hearing this. Immortal Realm? What Immortal Realm? They didn't care. It was just a bunch of people who only knew how to fight amongst themselves, act high and mighty, and call themselves the orthodox lineage of the Immortal Realm.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Hao said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Taixu, I plan to schedule the fusion of the two realms for two and a half years from now. These two and a half years will be used for final preparations, and also to give the beings of the Lesser Immortal Realm time to prepare and adapt."

The Little Immortal Realm is far from the Origin Realm, so these two and a half years are perfect for traveling and settling in.

Taixu Immortal Lord cupped his hands and nodded: "Fellow Daoist has considered this very well. Very well, we will do as Fellow Daoist Jiang says. Two and a half years from now, the two realms will merge, and I will go back to make the arrangements."

After saying that, he turned and flew towards the Lesser Immortal Realm camp.

In the Lesser Immortal Realm camp, the Crimson Sun Immortal General, the Mystic Ice Immortal General, the Golden Thunder Immortal General, and others were waiting anxiously.

Upon seeing the return of the Immortal Lord Taixu, everyone bowed and greeted him in unison: "Immortal Lord!"

Taixu Immortal Lord stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at them, and said in a deep voice, "Get up, all of you. From now on, the two realms are one family, and there is no need to distinguish between us."

"Yes."

Taixu Immortal Lord continued, "I have already discussed with the Heavenly Emperor that the two realms will officially merge in two and a half years. During these two and a half years, you should go back and make preparations, appease all living beings, and relocate the population."

"Yes, sir!" the crowd replied in unison.

Then, Immortal Lord Taixu told them about the spiritual treasures in the Origin Realm and the two powerful beings, Yuanshi and his sixth incarnation, on the Immortal Path of the Mortal World.

Upon hearing this, the supreme beings of the Lesser Immortal Realm instantly erupted in uproar.

"Six generations? Two of them! The Origin Realm actually has such powerful individuals!"
