Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 425 The Path to Immortality Begins

"Ye Fan, this matter is no ordinary one. A great terror is about to occur. You'd better inform your classmates and people who are important to you," Yuan Changqing reminded him.

"Senior, could you tell me more specifically what happened?" Although Ye Fan had some vague guesses, he wasn't very clear on the details.

Yuan Changqing added, "Alright, now that you have the strength, you can see that you might have to face it personally later."

"You should know about the seven forbidden zones for life on the Big Dipper, right? This great terror involves them."

Seeing Ye Fan nod and listen attentively, Yuan Changqing continued, "The origin of the forbidden zone of life is that it is where ancient emperors from bygone eras, unwilling to perish, slumber."

"They have been waiting in the forbidden zone of life, hoping to pass through the path to immortality and reach the forbidden immortal realm."

"However, we all know that even the most powerful emperors only live to be around ten thousand years old."

"Then, how do those supreme-level powerhouses in those forbidden zones of life survive?!"

"Your confidante is Little Moon of the Ji family. You must have heard of the deeds of her ancestor, the Void Emperor!"

Ye Fan nodded and said, "I heard that he perished together with a supreme expert in the forbidden zone of life while quelling the dark turmoil."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "That's right. You should know that in the Divine Realm last time, the ancient coffin of the gods contained the corpse of the Void Emperor."

"Then, do you know that after the Void Emperor fell, his corpse became sentient and was none other than the Yellow Emperor from our Earthly mythology?"

"What? Senior, you're not wrong, are you? The Void Emperor's corpse became a spirit after it was connected with the Yellow Emperor!" Ye Fan was shocked and found it unbelievable when he heard this news.

Yuan Changqing continued, "I knew you wouldn't believe me. But what if I told you that Emperor Yan was the spirit of Emperor Hengyu, Shakyamuni was the spirit of Emperor Amitabha, Laozi was the spirit of Emperor Daode Tianzun from the mythological era, and Chiyou was the spirit of Emperor Daode Tianzun, the ancestor of the Jiuli Dynasty in the Central Continent? Wouldn't you be even more surprised?"

"Hiss, senior, what you're saying is too shocking, how is this possible?" Ye Fan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He continued, "Senior, what exactly is going on? Why have so many powerful Heavenly Venerables and Emperors become legendary figures in the myths and legends of China?"

Yuan Changqing explained, "Actually, it's nothing special. Our hometown may seem inconspicuous, but its origins are quite simple."

"You've probably been to Kunlun Divine Land, right? Wasn't it amazing? Isn't it better than those blessed lands above the Big Dipper?"

"As for why so many powerful Heavenly Venerables and Great Emperors have left behind ancient legends on Earth."

"That's because Earth has a special characteristic; Earth also has a name: the burial ground."

"On such special planets, there is a high probability that after a body is buried, a new soul can be born from the body."

"However, once a new soul is born, it is no longer the same person as before, and its personality will change because of the birth of the new soul."

As Ye Fan listened to Yuan Changqing's narration, he was at a loss for words. The ancient secrets that Yuan Changqing had revealed were simply too shocking.

Then, Yuan Changqing continued, "You should know that the Void Emperor fought all his life, but in the end he was covered in injuries that even the Immortal Elixir could not reverse."

"This is because the Void Emperor was born in a dark and turbulent era, and he needed to constantly quell the darkness and turmoil."

"And those dark upheavals were launched by the other six forbidden zones of life, besides the Ancient Forbidden Land."

"Although these six forbidden zones of life have different characteristics, they all share one characteristic: they can reduce the consumption of life force."

"And those ancient emperors and great emperors, in order to live forever, simply cut themselves off and descended from their supreme positions, no longer being supreme powerhouses."

"From then on, the supreme beings in those forbidden zones of life entered those forbidden zones one after another to reduce the consumption of their life force."

"However, even though the forbidden zone of life has the property of slowing down the consumption of life force, it still consumes life force, only it is many times more than the normal level."

"However, no matter how much it is delayed, it will eventually be exhausted one day. Therefore, the supreme beings in those forbidden zones of life became the source of dark turmoil, unleashing a massive massacre upon the world."

"And those supreme beings who became the Dark Chaos slaughtered all living beings, devoured their souls and blood essence to replenish their own life and thus prolong their lifespan."

"This is the reason for the Dark Turmoil. The Void Emperor has been fighting tirelessly to quell the source of these Dark Turmoils."

"Of course, the nine ancient holy bodies of the ancient era, the nine great holy bodies that appeared one after another in that era, they were doing the same thing."

"Therefore, in every era of history, there have been dark and turbulent times, and all the spirits of the universe have wept because of them."

After hearing what Yuan Changqing said, Ye Fan fell silent. He hadn't expected that the Dark Turmoil was caused by this.

Now, Ye Fan immediately understood what would happen next.

"Senior, does that mean that the opening of the path to immortality will once again cause a dark upheaval?" Ye Fan asked.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Yes, I don't want such things to happen either, but these things will eventually happen, and we can't change them according to our will."

"Furthermore, do you think that path to immortality is reliable? If it is, then at least all the dark sovereigns in those forbidden zones of life can leave this universe."

"However, if we fail, we will once again face a terrible dark upheaval."

"Unfortunately, in our current era, there are no longer invincible powerhouses like the Void Emperor who can fight against those Dark Sovereigns."

"But even if those Dark Sovereigns were to sever their own flesh, they would still be beyond the capabilities of a peak Quasi-Emperor."

"Moreover, even if we could deal with them, how many could we handle? There are dozens of Dark Sovereigns in those six forbidden zones of life."

"However, this is only the forbidden zone for life on the Big Dipper Burial Emperor Star. The entire universe is not just these forbidden zones for life."

"Even if there are Great Emperor-level powerhouses still in the world, these Dark Sovereigns who have severed themselves will, as long as they undergo the ultimate sublimation, briefly regain their Supreme-level strength."

"If we use a siege-and-attack strategy, even if a powerful emperor were alive, we could still fail."

"Therefore, when I was in the Divine Realm last time, I also had a conversation with the corpse of the Void Emperor, preparing to unite all forces that could be united to fight against it."

"And this time when I returned to Earth, I was also preparing to invite the Yan Emperor, Lao Tzu, Shakyamuni, and other predecessors to fight against the dark turmoil together."

"And Ye Fan, you should also prepare now. You can fuse with a corpse that is also an Ancient Sacred Body."

"Then you need to find the corpse of the ancient holy body that fell in the past. Also, ask that dead dog Black Emperor if the Great Emperor Wushi should have left a backup plan."

"Moreover, there is a fallen Great Accomplished Holy Body in the old Yaochi place we visited before. You can take the Black Emperor there."

At this moment, Ye Fan also felt the urgency of the world, and his face was full of worry. After all, there were no more powerful beings in the world who could fight against those Dark Sovereigns.

Ye Fan asked again, "Senior, based on what you've said, given the current situation, is it possible for us to overcome this difficulty?"

Yuan Changqing said somewhat helplessly, "Don't worry, I have some plans. Even if we can't get through this, we can still protect ourselves."

"Besides, we're not fighting alone; we have reinforcements."

"One more thing, you must remember to keep your little girl with you at all times, and leave the rest to time."

Although Ye Fan didn't know why Yuan Changqing had instructed him to keep Xiao Nannan by his side, he believed that Yuan Changqing wouldn't harm him.

There must be some hidden story behind this that he doesn't know, but the time isn't right yet, so Yuan Changqing hasn't revealed it, and Ye Fan hasn't asked any further questions.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll gather my classmates first. As for whether they're willing to go back, I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate."

"At that time, we will need your help to bring back those who are willing to return as well."

Yuan Changqing nodded again and said, "That's good. You two should get together as soon as possible, and then send the person directly to Tai Xuan Sect. I'll be waiting for you at Zhuofeng."

"We'll split into two groups this time. You need to find the fallen Great Accomplished Holy Body and the backup plan left by the Great Emperor Wushi as soon as possible in Beidou."

Ye Fan nodded, knowing that time was of the essence and they couldn't afford to waste any more time.

After Yuan Changqing left, they began to take action, gathering those who were willing to leave.

Then, those who were willing to leave were sent to Yuan Changqing.

After receiving the person sent by Ye Fan, Yuan Changqing did not delay for long. He directly used his Quasi-Emperor strength to tear through the void, cross the starry sky, and embark on the road back to Earth.

……

Shortly after Yuan Changqing left Beidou, the cracks on the path to immortality in the desolate ancient forbidden land grew larger and larger.

The path to immortality was constantly trembling, and it was clear that a large section of it had cracked open.

The path to immortality is constantly filled with celestial energy, auspicious and wondrous. Just one breath makes one feel younger and refreshed.

The large crack shone with divine light, intensely bright, like a ray of light flashing through the darkness, dazzling and radiant.

The crack grew larger and larger, and wisps of ethereal energy occasionally drifted out from within, leaving people in awe.

Suddenly, the rift in trouble opened up to hundreds of feet wide, dazzling and awe-inspiring, and this sudden change stirred the minds of countless people.

On the Big Dipper Burial Emperor Star, countless powerful figures were in an uproar, rushing towards the outer edge of the Southern Wilderness Forbidden Land, hoping to secure a good position.

However, what they didn't know was that this was practically suicide.

The changes on the path to immortality within the desolate forbidden land have also attracted the attention of the supreme powerhouses in the other six forbidden zones of life.

People are speculating whether this means the Immortal Realm is about to open. Looking at the huge crack, they see bursts of immortal light, auspicious signs, and faint signs of immortal spirits within.

Instantly, countless eyes turned to the huge crack, their eyes filled with joy and excitement.

One year, two years, three years...

Time passed slowly, and countless people silently awaited the full opening of the path to immortality.

During this time, Ye Fan also accomplished an important event in his life: he married Ji Ziyue.

Ji Ziyue did not leave Beidou; she stayed behind to accompany Ye Fan.

The day after Ye Fan's wedding, the Path to Immortality in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land suddenly collapsed and the earth cracked.

"boom!"

A resounding, earth-shattering sound rang out, shaking the Southern Region and even causing turmoil in much of the Eastern Wilderness.

Within the desolate and forbidden land, a dazzling light shot straight into the sky, shaking heaven and earth.

The Big Dipper was also in turmoil, leaving countless cultivators in awe.

"The path to immortality has collapsed, but the path to immortality is about to open."

"The Immortal Realm has manifested, the path to immortality has been opened, the two realms are finally connected, this day has finally come!"

"Hahaha, in this life, becoming an immortal will no longer be an illusion; my wish will soon come true."

"Look! The immortal gate is open, the immortal realm is manifesting, and immortal spirits are falling from within!"

The world was shocked, all races were shocked, and everyone was shouting and shouting, extremely excited.

At the same time, divine light tore through the heavens and earth, soaring into the sky and piercing through the nine heavens and ten earths, from the seven forbidden zones above the Big Dipper.

Within the forbidden zone of life, a supreme being is reviving, seeking to enter the Immortal Realm and attain a lifetime of immortal destiny.

At this moment, divine light soared into the sky from the seven forbidden zones of life, and a supreme aura emanated from within them.

A terrifying aura of supreme power emanated continuously from the forbidden zone of life; even a mere wisp of it was enough to send chills down the spines of all living beings. It was as if a great terror was about to descend.

An unprecedented upheaval is about to occur today; the opening of the path to immortality is something countless cultivators have finally awaited.

Within the forbidden zone of life, earth-shattering roars of beasts echoed continuously, and a terrifying aura of supreme power permeated the world.

On this day, it felt like the end of the world. Countless people in the Big Dipper felt extremely tense and uneasy. The oppressive atmosphere made it almost impossible to breathe.

"In this life, I will finally meet the immortals. An unprecedented golden age is about to begin today! Hahaha..."

Instantly, amidst this excited laughter, countless cultivators throughout the universe who dreamed of entering the Immortal Realm were filled with fervent excitement.

The curtain will eventually rise. In this lifetime, the mortal realm will begin its journey to immortality.

Now, countless people have gathered outside the desolate forbidden land, looking at the huge crack that has opened up on the path to immortality.

From the great crack, wisps of matter resembling the Northern Lights occasionally drifted out.

However, no one dared to approach, as an extremely terrifying aura emanated from there, and even a quasi-emperor would not dare to approach easily.

The majestic and towering mountain peaks had a crack that had widened to several thousand feet in length overnight, expanding from a few hundred feet to its current size—an astonishing sight.
