Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 424 Preparation (Two-in-One)

Since Ye Fan, Zeng Li, Yuan Yue'er, Pang Bo and others embarked on the ancient road of trials again, they have overcome numerous challenges and finally reached the last city of the ancient road of trials.

Subsequently, they continued to take on challenges, venturing onto other ancient trial paths to compete against other prodigies.

Through constant self-challenge, Ye Fan, Zeng Li, and Yuan Yue'er have now reached the Great Sage stage.

Finally, they stepped into the first stage of the ancient road to ultimate trials and left their names on the crystal wall there.

Because the ultimate trial ancient road has not yet been opened, countless young prodigies, after reaching the first level of the ultimate ancient road, can only leave their names and return.

Then, Ye Fan, Zeng Li, Yuan Yue'er and the others returned to the Beidou Burial Emperor Star.

After resolving the troubles with the Purple Star Emperor, Yuan Changqing did not linger. He returned directly to the Southern Region of the Big Dipper Ancient Star and went to the Tai Xuan Sect to visit his parents.

More than a hundred years have passed, and Yuan Dongfang and Jiang Fen are now saints.

The arrival of the Golden Age also led to a rapid increase in their strength, making them a powerful force in the current universe.

Of course, their strength is far inferior to that of today's prodigies.

However, to cultivate to the level of a saint with only mortal potential is quite remarkable.

After all, a person's cultivation depends not only on natural talent but also on their comprehension. Otherwise, there wouldn't be cultivators like Li Ruoyu and Zhang Wenchang who had low aptitude but good comprehension.

Li Ruoyu and Zhang Wenchang were considered to have very low aptitude for cultivation. However, their excellent comprehension and perseverance led to their later achievements.

Of course, this is also due to the cultivation of the natural way, but isn't cultivation just a process of cultivating the mind?

If a person cultivates himself but gives up on himself due to low aptitude or lack of perseverance, he will achieve nothing and will only be a pile of yellow earth a hundred years from now.

After Zeng Li and Yuan Yue'er returned to Beidou, they immediately went to the Southern Region to visit Yuan Dongfang and Jiang Fen.

They were surprised and happy to see Yuan Changqing return, and the family was overjoyed to be reunited.

Afterwards, Zeng Li and Yuan Yue'er returned to Yaochi and then went back again to cultivate with Yuan Changqing.

Actually, it was Yuan Changqing who started preaching to his family, because Zhang Wenchang, Li Ruoyu, and some other people in the Tai Xuan Sect also benefited greatly.

After all, Yuan Changqing is now a quasi-emperor level expert, and his understanding of the Great Dao is naturally very thorough.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing began to cultivate Zeng Li and Yuan Yue'er on the Zhuofeng Peak of the Tai Xuan Sect. With their aptitude, they would eventually be able to achieve a different kind of enlightenment.

This is not to say that the two of them lacked the qualities to become emperors; it's just that in any era, there can only be one supreme being.

Unless there is a special existence like Ye Fan, nothing will change.

While Yuan Changqing and the others were cultivating peacefully, the universe was in chaos. For example, the Divine Court was constantly waging war in order to rule more territories.

Meanwhile, on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, as the path to immortality is about to appear, powerful figures from various ancient star regions in the universe are beginning to converge on the Burial Emperor Star, hoping to seize the opportunity to achieve immortality in this lifetime.

Thus, the Big Dipper, the burial star of the emperor, became even more unstable and turbulent, entering an era resembling the Warring States period.

Now, the Big Dipper Burial Emperor Star is in chaos, with battles raging everywhere. Various forces are fighting each other, and it has been going on for who knows how many years.

Those hidden in the shadows are all silently waiting for the path to immortality to appear and open.

It is obvious that the path to immortality is the major event that all forces have been concerned about for a long time, and countless people are looking forward to it.

However, the arrival of countless powerful beings from beyond the realm has made the Beidou Burial Emperor Star extremely turbulent.

As a result, all sorts of conflicts arose, with no one willing to yield to the other, and often earth-shattering bloody battles broke out, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

And so, time slowly passed, and in that desolate and forbidden land, there was a node on the path to immortality.

This place was once a forbidden zone of life established by a Great Accomplished Holy Body. He did not intend to start any dark upheaval, but rather to wait here for the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and await revenge.

However, due to the Netherworld, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth changed, which affected the Ancient Sacred Body, making its later years uncertain.

Due to the curse of the underworld, the Great Accomplished Holy Body's vital energy and blood declined in its later years, rendering it unable to withstand the curse of hell. This was a disaster for the lineage of the Ancient Holy Body.

Fortunately, the Ruthless Great Emperor later entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone and suppressed the ominous force with his supreme magical power.

In addition, the unique nature of the Ancient Forbidden Land prevented the Great Accomplishment Holy Body from turning into a red-haired monster. Although its strength was greatly reduced, it survived.

As the path to immortality is about to appear, cracks have begun to appear on the immortal path within the desolate ancient forbidden land, and they are constantly widening.

Meanwhile, on the Big Dipper, the powerful figures from beyond the realm and those from the local area were all silently waiting.

Even the Dark Sovereign, residing in the forbidden zone of life, is keeping an eye on this desolate ancient forbidden land.

When it comes to expectations for the path to immortality, the dark sovereigns in those forbidden zones of life are the ones who are most concerned.

As the cracks in the Immortal Path within the desolate forbidden land widen, the opening of this path to immortality is not far off.

Countless powerful forces are watching BeiDou closely, but Yuan Changqing knows that this is a dead end, ultimately leading to failure and causing enormous disaster for BeiDou and even the universe.

Forty years later, when Yuan Changqing returned from the edge of the universe, he was already a powerful quasi-emperor at the seventh level.

As one's strength increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve. In the past forty years, Yuan Changqing's strength has increased by two levels, which is already considered very fast.

This is because Yuan Changqing has the Bodhi seed he refined himself to assist him, although the Bodhi seed's assisting effect has been greatly reduced now.

However, when Yuan Changqing was trying to understand the secret of the character "前" that he had obtained from Ye Fan, he discovered a hidden secret.

The secret of the character "前" lies in its greatest function in the spirit and in the primordial spirit.

However, Yuan Changqing discovered that the secret of the character "前" (qian) was of great help in improving comprehension, allowing people to enter a state of enlightenment and dream for a thousand years.

Therefore, Yuan Changqing refined the Bodhi seeds again, and engraved the divine pattern of the character "前" into the Bodhi seeds.

This is why the effects of Bodhi seeds have been enhanced once again, providing tremendous help in enlightenment.

Therefore, with the help of Bodhi Seed, Yuan Changqing was able to raise his strength by two levels over the past forty years, reaching the seventh level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

However, although Yuan Changqing has become much stronger now, he will also become prey for those Dark Sovereigns once the Dark Turmoil begins.

Moreover, now that the path to immortality is about to open, Yuan Changqing also plans to move his family back to Earth.

However, before returning, Yuan Changqing also planned to make some arrangements, especially regarding Gai Jiuyou, who had the potential to become an emperor.

The opening of the path to immortality this time is the best opportunity to overcome the tribulation of the Great Emperor and become the Great Emperor of this era.

However, there is a Golden Crow Quasi-Emperor lurking in the shadows. If Gai Jiuyou wants to become an emperor, he must seize the opportunity earlier than that Golden Crow Quasi-Emperor.

Otherwise, it is very likely that all efforts will be in vain, or even cause irreversible damage to the Great Dao.

……

In Zhongzhou, Yuan Changqing returned and met Gai Jiuyou once again.

"Young friend, your talent is indeed extraordinary. I imagine you will catch up with me soon," Gai Jiuyou said with emotion.

Yuan Changqing smiled and said, "Elder Gai, you flatter me. How have you been since we parted ways on the ancient starry road?"

Back then, on the ancient starry road of the human race, when the human race's powerful warriors faced attacks from forces outside the realm, Gai Jiuyou also participated in the planning.

Since resolving the hidden dangers on the ancient path of human trials, Yuan Changqing and Gai Jiuyou parted ways again. More than a hundred years have passed since their last meeting.

"Hahaha, excellent! Since obtaining the White Tiger Immortal Elixir from you, young friend, this old man has undergone a transformation and been reborn. I really have to thank you for this!" Gai Jiuyou laughed happily.

After all, Gai Jiuyou had suffered a Dao injury before, and for thousands of years he had been in a state of near death.

Although he did not die, in order to suppress the Dao injury in his body, Gai Jiuyou was only at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, but his strength was greatly reduced.

With Yuan Changqing gifting him the White Tiger Immortal Elixir, Gai Jiuyou has now returned to his peak condition, and his strength has even improved further. He can trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation at any time.

Unfortunately, Gai Jiuyou dares not trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation now. The Dark Sovereigns in the forbidden zone of life do not want a contemporary Great Emperor to appear and overwhelm them.

Therefore, as long as Gai Jiuyou dares to trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation, those Dark Sovereigns who are eyeing the forbidden zone of life will surely ruin Gai Jiuyou's Great Emperor's Dao Fruit.

"Congratulations, Elder Gai! I didn't have a chance to congratulate you last time because of the turmoil on the Starry Sky Ancient Road," Yuan Changqing said.

Gai Jiuyou waved his hand and said, "Young friend, there's no need for that. I owe my current success to you. But young friend, what can I do for you today?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "It is indeed an important matter. As the pillar of our human race, Elder Gai should know that the path to immortality is about to appear, right?"

Gai Jiuyou replied, "That's natural. Countless powerful beings from beyond the realms have come to Beidou, having waited for a long time, all for the path to immortality!"

"Moreover, the Immortal Path within the desolate ancient forbidden land of the Southern Region is now showing signs of opening, indicating that the Northern Dipper is about to enter another turbulent period!"

In the end, Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but sigh. The opening of the path to immortality was not a good thing for Beidou. He didn't know how many lives would be lost because of it.

However, such things are beyond human control; they will happen naturally when the time comes.

Yuan Changqing also fell silent, then said seriously, "Elder Gai, I've come here today because of your matter."

"Oh, because of me? How come I didn't know?" Gai Jiuyou asked in confusion.

"Elder Gai, you've misunderstood me. I think with your current strength, you should be able to trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation at any time. It's just that those forbidden zones of life are eyeing you covetously, so you're having some reservations!" Yuan Changqing asked.

Gai Jiuyou sighed again, "Yes, since I was reborn, my strength has improved, and I am confident that I can overcome the tribulation of the Great Emperor."

"However, just as my young friend said, it is impossible for a great emperor to appear at this moment when the path to immortality is about to open, given that the dark sovereigns in those forbidden zones of life are in such a precarious position."

"Therefore, I can only continue to suppress my strength and dare not easily trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation and take that step."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Elder Gai, perhaps this opening of the path to immortality will be your chance to achieve the position of Great Emperor."

"Young friend, do you mean I should take advantage of the fact that the Dark Sovereigns in those forbidden zones of life are focused on the path to immortality, and trigger the Great Emperor's Tribulation?" Gai Jiuyou was also eager to try, and then asked.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "That's right, Elder Gai, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for you to become a Great Emperor."

"Furthermore, Elder Gai, do you really think this path to immortality is real? Is it even traversable? Can it fulfill the wishes of those dark sovereigns?"

Yuan Changqing asked three questions in a row, and Gai Jiuyou kept pondering the meaning behind his words.

Then, Gai Jiuyou asked, "Young friend, are you saying that this path to immortality might be incorrect?!"

"How is that possible? From the information I have, those Dark Sovereigns have made countless deductions about the opening of this Path to Immortality."

"There are even rumors that the path to immortality in this life will be the correct one to the Immortal Realm."

Seeing Gai Jiuyou's surprise and confusion, Yuan Changqing said, "Elder Gai, although those Dark Sovereigns have made thousands of deductions, this path to immortality is correct."

"However, this path to immortality may not necessarily be the correct one; perhaps there are other paths to immortality."

"Moreover, Elder Gai should also know that there is not only one path to immortality. For example, there is a path to immortality in Beiyuan, but it has long been determined that it is not the correct path."

After Yuan Changqing's explanation, Gai Jiuyou was immediately filled with doubt and unease, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"Indeed, after what you've said, young friend, the path to immortality in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is not the right one," Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but say.

"So, Elder Gai, you should now know how great a disaster our Beidou human race, and even the cosmic human race, will face if the path to immortality in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land is not correct." Yuan Changqing said with a worried expression.

Upon hearing Yuan Changqing's words, Gai Jiuyou's expression changed drastically. If it was really as Yuan Changqing said, then the Big Dipper, and even the universe, would once again experience a world-shaking dark upheaval.

Moreover, even a quasi-emperor at the peak of his level could perish in this dark upheaval.

Yuan Changqing looked at Gai Jiuyou, whose expression had changed drastically, and continued, "Elder Gai, the reason I came to see you this time is because I was worried that this kind of situation would happen."

"Therefore, my suggestion is that while Elder Gai is focused on the path to immortality by the dark sovereigns in those forbidden zones of life, you should take the opportunity to undergo tribulation and become an emperor."

"In this way, as long as our human race has a great emperor of the present age, those dark sovereigns will not dare to easily attack our human race."

After hearing Yuan Changqing's account, Gai Jiuyou strengthened his resolve and prepared to fight again.

"Alright, let's do as you say, young friend. I need to take one more gamble, for myself and for humanity, even if it means death." Gai Jiuyou said firmly, his whole demeanor changing, becoming vibrant and energetic.

Yuan Changqing also laughed happily, and then said, "Elder Gai, there is another situation you must pay attention to. You may not be the only one who wants to take this opportunity to pass through the tribulation and become a Great Emperor."

"Does young friend know of anyone else who also has this plan?" Gai Jiuyou asked in surprise.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "That's right. I found a Golden Crow Quasi-Emperor in the Starry Sky Ancient Road. Judging from its condition, it's similar to Elder Gai. I think that Golden Crow also wants to take this opportunity to become an emperor."

"Therefore, Elder Gai must seize this opportunity, otherwise, he will be in big trouble."

Gai Jiuyou nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, young friend. This is a rare opportunity to become an emperor, and this old man will naturally seize it. I will definitely not let that golden crow steal the opportunity."

"That's good. I'm relieved. I won't bother you any longer, Elder Gai. It's up to you now." At this moment, Yuan Changqing also prepared to leave.

"Young friend, how long have you been away from this old man? Are you leaving already?"

Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "I won't stay any longer this time. I'll definitely bother Elder Gai next time I have the chance. After all, the path to immortality is about to open, and I have some arrangements and preparations to make."

Gai Jiuyou nodded and said, "Alright, it's better to be prepared. It seems that the old man should also make some arrangements in advance to avoid any worries later."

"Alright, then, Elder Gai, farewell."

"Young friend, see you next time!"

After Yuan Changqing left, he went to look for Ye Fan.

After searching for a while, Yuan Changqing also found Ye Fan in the Northern Region.

"Ye Fan, it seems you're living a pretty good life!" Yuan Changqing said after seeing Ye Fan, noticing that Ye Fan was indeed living a carefree life.

"Senior, what brings you here?" Ye Fan was overjoyed to see Yuan Changqing.

"I've come to see you about something," Yuan Changqing stated his purpose directly.

"Please speak, senior!"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "I'm planning to go back to Earth, so I came here to ask if you want to come with me."

"Senior, you're going back to Earth? Why?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

"You should be aware of the situation within the Forbidden Land of Desolation, right?" Yuan Changqing countered.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Senior is referring to the Path to Immortality opening in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, right? I know that. Does it have anything to do with the opening of the Path to Immortality?"

Yuan Changqing replied, "That's right. With the opening of the path to immortality, the Big Dipper will be in great chaos. Now, even the Big Dipper is not safe."

"Therefore, I plan to take my family back to Earth first, so that I won't have any worries."

Ye Fan was immediately filled with surprise and doubt, and asked, "Senior, do you know what major event is about to happen?"

Although Ye Fan should have heard of the Dark Turmoil by now, he probably doesn't know exactly what it means.

Yuan Changqing was well aware that this path to immortality was not the right one.

Therefore, those emerging dark sovereigns will ultimately fail and will not succeed.

However, even a newly emerged Dark Sovereign will suffer a great loss of life essence and will not be far from death.

In order to continue living, those Dark Sovereigns will certainly be unwilling to give up and will eventually launch a Dark Turmoil.

At that time, the Big Dipper, and even the entire universe, will weep and unleash a massive carnage.
