The game begins with a visit to a holy land, only to discover that one's ancestor was a human e

Wang Batian shook his head: "No, he reached the end of an alternative path to enlightenment and stood at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, but he did not make the final leap to become an Emperor."

He thought for a moment, "Some say it's because he suffered irreversible injuries during his early years of escape, while others say it's because he was seriously injured and about to die after a battle with that great imperial family."

"But whatever the reason, he did not attain enlightenment, nor did he even trigger the Emperor Tribulation. After destroying that great emperor family, he completely disappeared from the starry sky."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhi realized he had been overthinking things; he had thought it was some legendary chosen one.

In the end, could it not escape its fate of falling...?

He shook his head and said, "He's being a bit hasty. Once he becomes the Great Emperor, he can wipe out whoever he wants!"

The old man smiled and said, "Who knows? Besides... do you think becoming an emperor is so easy? If reaching a certain level was all it took to transcend tribulations and become an emperor, then everyone would just compete in cultivation."

"Realm is one thing, but if your foundation isn't strong enough, you still can't cross that hurdle. Those who aren't strong enough can't even trigger the Emperor Tribulation. All the great emperors throughout history! Which one didn't have the combat power to stay in the Divine Forbidden Zone when they were Quasi-Emperors? And this... is just the passing grade."

"According to my guess, although that person has achieved enlightenment in an unconventional way, he should only have just stepped into the realm of divine forbidden lands and did not stay there permanently. Otherwise, he would not have been seriously injured by that great emperor family!"

"He probably knows he has no hope of becoming an emperor, so he simply stopped waiting. After all, how could someone at his level possibly endure that kind of humiliation!"

The old man joked, "It's one thing to not dare to settle scores before becoming a Quasi-Emperor, but if you still don't dare after becoming a Supreme, then you've cultivated this path in vain!"

"Yes! That's true!"

Then the old man slowly wiped the smile off his face and spoke again:

"It's not that rogue cultivators are untouchable, but those with higher cultivation levels should avoid offending them!"

"These people have reached that level either because they have exceptionally strong luck, always managing to escape danger and advance further inexplicably, or because they are deep-seated in their thoughts, cunning and treacherous, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals!"

He patted Feng Zhi on the shoulder:

"Every era has its outliers. Generally, these people won't provoke you. I'm just giving you a heads-up: if you really become enemies, don't be reckless and use the Imperial Weapon directly! Otherwise, things might get complicated."

Feng Zhi nodded solemnly; no one understood this kind of being, a chosen one of destiny, better than him!

The two of them were on high alert the whole way.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the Holy Land of the Big Dipper.

A snap.

When Feng Zhi emerged from the spatial passage, he saw Bei Shenfeng anxiously dealing with recent matters.

Seeing that the two were unharmed, Bei Shenfeng relaxed his tense expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and put down what he was doing to greet them:

"We're finally back. The Purple Star is in complete chaos right now, with all sorts of monsters and demons appearing in the world."

Wang Batian waved his hand, sat down in the head seat and lay down, looking like he couldn't open his eyes.

Feng Zhi found a spot to make tea and asked curiously, "How exactly is this chaos happening?"

Bei Shenfeng sighed and pointed to the table: "Since yesterday, old monsters that have been sleeping have been breaking out of the ground one after another."

Some crawled out from under the ground in ordinary people's houses, and some jumped out from the stones in the Originium Workshop...

"Those old monsters dragged their coffins and occupied a blessed land rich in spiritual energy, just to welcome the moment when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth broke through and they would undergo the Holy Tribulation!"

"Ancient relics in various places have also begun to emerge, but they have not yet fully manifested."

"Even more outrageous is that someone seems to have seen an ancient sage in the Eastern Region!"

"An ancient sage? Someone saw him with their own eyes?" Upon hearing the word "sage," even the listless Wang Batian sat up straight.

That was the realm he had always dreamed of!

Although he will break through later, it's not the same thing!

Bei Shenfeng shook his head when he heard Wang Batian ask the question.

"Uncertain... The person who discovered it was too low-level to recognize it. He only described that he felt the pressure of a life level, as if he were facing a towering giant."

"His appearance is very similar to that of an ancient sage, with golden laws covering his entire body, obscuring his features. With just a wave of his hand, the winds and clouds for miles around dance wildly with him!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Batian's expression turned serious, and then he let out a breath.

"That is indeed a saint without a doubt; the level of his life and the immense power he wields with a mere gesture cannot be faked!"

Feng Zhi, who was brewing tea with Enlightenment Tea leaves, suddenly focused his gaze when he heard the word "sage".

The ancient sages... those are ancient relics that can live for ten thousand years!

A single drop of blood can crush a Purple Mansion, yet a drop of blood can also regenerate a being, allowing it to roam the star field and possess the combat power to destroy planets!

That refers to a sage!

Wang Batian leaned back in his chair, gazing intently at the ceiling.

"The saints who can emerge and move about before the world is restored are probably those who have already thoroughly explored the Saint Realm and reached the perfect state. All they lack is the recovery of the spiritual energy and laws of heaven and earth, so that they can break through to the Saint King realm."

The old man looked at Bei Shenfeng: "Just keep a close eye on those old monsters occupying the blessed land. As long as they don't touch the things under the holy land, there's no need to worry about them."

"They also know their limits and wouldn't dare to provoke the underworld forces at this crucial time."

"Keep an eye on the matter of the sage's rebirth, and confirm which sage it is from before. Remember this! Be extremely careful not to offend him!"

Kitakami Kaze agreed to everything.

The old man turned to Feng Zhi: "And you, kid, don't go anywhere these next few days. The entire Ziwei Star will be filled with heavenly tribulations! There will be a great reckoning afterward!"

Feng Zhi nodded silently, a sigh escaping his lips.

In the next few days, it's unknown how many forces will be reshuffled, and all the grudges buried for years will erupt during this period.

He shook his head, trying to stop thinking about it.

Taking a sip of the brewed tea, I instantly felt refreshed, which dispelled much of the tension that had accumulated during the journey.

"Hmm? What does it taste like?"

Bei Shenfeng sniffed, and after a moment, his eyes lit up.

"This is wonderful! Just one whiff of it makes me feel like I'm being elevated!"

Bei Shenfeng discovered the source and flashed to Feng Zhi's side, his eyes fixed on the teapot.

"This...this is the Jiang family's Enlightenment Tea! It's incredible, kid, where did you get this? This is so unfair! All the hard work I put into raising you has been for nothing..."

Feng Zhi raised his hand, signaling him to stop.

Ignoring his exaggerated expression, she picked up the teapot and poured eight-tenths full into Kitakami Kaze's cup.

"Stop shouting, I poured you a glass, try it and let it go to your heart."

Beishenfeng eagerly picked up the teacup, as if it were a fragile object, and carefully took a sip.

"Ah~ That feels so good, this is the taste!"

Feng Zhi poured a cup for the old man above as well.

The old man stroked his beard, nodded, and drank the cup in one gulp without saying anything. His brow relaxed.
