This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The Heavenly Emperor stood up, walked to the edge of the flying boat, and looked at the depths of the dimensional void with an inscrutable expression, saying:

"The great emperors of the ancient immortal era... I wonder what kind of splendor they possessed..."

"Unless you become an emperor, you can never imagine what it truly feels like to be one..."

Chang Geng stepped forward and stood beside the Heavenly Emperor, speaking in a low, melancholy tone.

Ziying God and Sikong Shuo also walked over, their eyes filled with intense longing.

Becoming an emperor is their lifelong goal, and for them now, only becoming an emperor can ensure their continued survival.

Otherwise, in a few thousand years, the people present would probably all be lost to the river of time.

Only Li Daoxuan felt no urgency about it.

Judging by his age, he is not even a hundred years old yet.

Having already reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Pure Yang Immortal realm, his lifespan far exceeds that of these martial arts quasi-emperors.

Even if it takes another ten or twenty thousand years, he might not be in a hurry.

That's how spiritual practice works; the more you want something, the harder it is to get it.

Let things take their natural course, take it one step at a time, and maybe one day you'll succeed.

However, Li Daoxuan's expression was far more solemn than the others.

Countless divine lights intertwined in his eyes, forming an extremely profound and complex innate Bagua diagram.

This is one of the Thirty-Six Methods of the Heavenly Gang, specifically a method for deduce the past and future, which is extremely mentally taxing.

Because it involved the Great Emperor, the magnitude of the cause and effect completely distorted the heavenly secrets, and even the Heavenly Emperor and other quasi-emperors did not sense anything unusual.

Li Daoxuan only sensed something because of his supernatural abilities.

A few breaths later, Li Daoxuan suddenly shuddered, his face turned pale, and he took two steps back.

Standing beside him, the Divine Lord Ziying couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"What's wrong with you?"

The Heavenly Emperor and the others also turned to look over, and were somewhat surprised to see that Li Daoxuan's breathing was disordered.

This young man is no weaker than them, so why does he suddenly look like he has suffered a serious injury?

Li Daoxuan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and looked at the group, asking:

"Gentlemen, how much do you know about the historical records of the Three Desolate Continents? It is said that the Three Desolate Continents were a land of exile, cast into the spatial turbulence during a great battle against demons in the ancient Immortal Era. Is this rumor true?"

Upon hearing Li Daoxuan's words, the Heavenly Emperor and his companions exchanged bewildered glances.

The Heavenly Emperor reacted the fastest, immediately realizing what was going on.

"Does the Taoist priest mean that if this rumor is true, then the great war millions of years ago that plunged the three continents of the desolate region into a spatial turbulence... could be happening today?"

The others' expressions changed slightly, clearly understanding what this meant.

If that's the case, then they and the three states they reside in will likely be completely annihilated.

Li Daoxuan shook his head and said solemnly:

"That's not all..."

"Based on the information we have gathered during this period, the Xuanhuang Great World, in addition to the Nine Provinces, also includes the Outer Heavens, whose territory is no smaller than that of the Nine Provinces."

"But in later generations, there was no such thing as a heaven beyond heaven."

"Even the three desolate states are like a kite that has been released into the sky, with only one string connecting it to the Xuanhuang Great World."

When Li Daoxuan finished speaking, everyone else understood what he meant.

The Heavenly Emperor frowned and asked:

"In other words, there is a high possibility that an event will soon occur that will destroy the entire Outer Heaven and cause the three states of Desolate State, Underworld State, and Netherworld State to almost break away from the operating rules of the Xuanhuang Great World?"

The Ancestor of Annihilation, Sikong Shuo, immediately retorted:

"Destroy the entire Outer Heavens and the Three Continents? Even an Emperor couldn't do that, could he? My Silent Divine Dynasty has historical records stating that the Three Continents of the Desolate Regions were banished because of changes in the heavens and earth, not because of any great war..."

"Your guess is way too far-fetched..."

Neither Chang Geng nor Zi Ying Shen Zun spoke, seemingly finding this explanation rather absurd.

Li Daoxuan shook his head and said:

"Don't forget, in the Immortal Ancient Era... there was more than one Great Emperor."

Everyone was taken aback.

Since the beginning of time, only one Great Emperor has been born in each era, a rule that has never been broken in millions of years.

This led them to develop a fixed mindset, subconsciously believing that there was only one Great Emperor here, or at most one among the hundred races of other races.

But they overlooked one thing.

This war took place in the ancient, immortal era that has long been lost to history.

In this era, the shackles of Heaven's will are not so strong, and becoming an emperor seems relatively easier.

Therefore, this era was by no means dominated by a single emperor.

Li Daoxuan walked to the ship's side, gazing at the vast, chaotic void, and said in a chilling tone:

"Perhaps... even the Great Emperor wasn't the limit of the Immortal Ancient Era..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with an almost absurd expression.

Chang Geng directly retorted:

"Impossible. Since ancient times, there has never been a being who surpasses the Great Emperor."

"The Great Emperor is the ultimate and the end of all living beings..."

Li Daoxuan ignored him and did not offer any explanation.

It has taken at least seven or eight thousand years for Chang Geng to become a quasi-emperor.

Why is it that even with the purest imperial bloodline and the most outstanding talent, he still hasn't made any progress after so many years?

That's the reason; in his heart, the path of spiritual practice has an end.

It's like a mountain is pressing down on his mind. How can such a person possibly overcome that mountain?

Throughout history, which person who has become a great emperor has had this mindset?

Which great emperor didn't continue to seek a higher level after achieving his status as a great emperor?

Li Daoxuan gazed into the depths of the void and said in a deep voice:

"If all the guesses are correct, then no one will survive on this battlefield."

"Perhaps this is the reason why the three desolate states have become a dead zone."

The Heavenly Emperor echoed:

"To survive this calamity, one would probably need at least the strength of a Great Emperor, or the protection of a Great Dao Emperor Weapon..."

When the topic of the Great Dao Emperor Weapon came up, Li Daoxuan was suddenly struck by a jolt.

If there is another level between Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors, it would probably be the Great Dao Emperor Weapon.

Each imperial weapon is an extremely terrifying existence. Although they were forged by the Great Emperor, they have developed their own unique destiny due to the Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

Even without the control of a Great Emperor, a Great Dao Imperial Weapon can still exert power close to that of a Great Emperor.

The reason Li Daoxuan reacted was because the Heavenly Emperor's reminder reminded them of his Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron.

Over the years, through his travels, he has found many top-quality materials to compensate for the deficiencies in the quality of the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron.

If judged solely by its power, the Xuanhuang Cauldron is at most equivalent to a top-grade immortal weapon.

But the biggest difference is that the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron contains a wisp of Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

That is the origin of the Xuanhuang Great World, and the entire Xuanhuang Great World is derived from the Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

Perhaps, the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron is his chance to break the deadlock.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan decided to leave.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, he sensed a world-destroying force sweeping wildly from a very distant place.
