Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

"Come in."

The sound came from deep within the Imperial Palace.

The ancient star of the Imperial Court fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Not only the powerful imperial court guards outside the hall, but also the holy lands, imperial clans, and supreme lineages that were observing this place through the Ancient Mirror of Heaven were all stunned.

The Emperor's Palace is open!

Moreover, it was activated proactively after Gu Xuanzhou arrived!

At this moment, the so-called ancestral destiny, bloodline deduction, and the events of Xuanheng Ancient Star three hundred years ago all seem to have answers.

There must be a very deep relationship between Gu Xuanzhou and that supreme emperor!

Deep in the starry sky.

The divine senses of the five contemporary emperors simultaneously landed in front of the Emperor's Palace.

The white-clad empress, who had once traced Gu Xuanzhou's bloodline and lost a finger to darkness, had a slight glint in her eyes.

The other emperor in blue robes remained silent for a long time.

More than three hundred years ago, when Gu Changjin became emperor, he was just an inconspicuous young prodigy on the ancient starry road.

No one expected that after the Heavenly Emperor Seal was damaged, he would seize that opportunity and gradually get to where he is today.

That's why he personally witnessed some scenes before and after the destruction of the ancient star Xuanheng.

We also know how much of what is concealed in the records circulating in the universe today.

What forbidden zone supreme ruler launched a dark upheaval?

Just then, the Emperor descended, slaying the Supreme Being and protecting the ancient star and its land.

It was just a story fabricated by the Human Race Imperial Court to protect the Emperor's reputation.

The real truth is...

There has never been a second supreme ruler of the restricted area!

The one who devoured all living beings on Xuanheng Ancient Star was none other than the Emperor himself!

In the past, no one knew why the Emperor suddenly became angry.

They had no idea why he had chosen Xuanheng Ancient Star.

Now it all makes sense.

The Yun family, in alliance with various forces in Xuanheng, annihilated the Gu family of Beixuan.

After Emperor Zun returned from his enlightenment, he discovered that his clansmen were dead. In a fit of rage, he devoured the Yun family and held the entire Xuanheng Ancient Star accountable!

"So it was more than three hundred years ago..."

The Azure-Robed Emperor sighed softly.

There is also this cause and effect.

This statement was not deliberately concealed.

It was quickly overheard by several quasi-emperors from the nearby Imperial Court.

The news then spread at an astonishing speed.

"Is it truly the bloodline of the Emperor?!"

"No wonder Gu Xuanzhou was able to materialize the Imperial Road!"

"No wonder Wan Dao feared the dark aura within him!"

"The Imperial Palace is the best proof!"

"In the past three hundred years, the Imperial Court has not been without the birth of great emperors. One great emperor once came here in person, wanting to open the Imperial Palace, but in the end, he could not even shake the restrictions on the palace door."

"The palace doors opened on their own the moment Gu Xuanzhou arrived!"

Those who had previously harbored doubts about the matter were now speechless.

A palace that even the greatest emperor of the time could not open, yet it took the initiative to welcome Gu Xuanzhou.

Isn't that obvious enough?

Within the imperial court, even the old quasi-emperor had begun to straighten his robes, preparing to pay homage to Gu Xuanzhou again as a descendant of the emperor after he emerged from the hall.

Inside the Emperor's Palace, Gu Xuanzhou stepped through the palace gate, but the gate behind him remained open.

However, darkness spread from the temple, completely blocking all divine thoughts and vision from the outside world.

Unseen by anyone, deep within the main hall, Gu Changjin stood with his back to the hall's entrance, his gaze fixed on the empty space before him.

There, the once perfect space has somehow developed a very thin crack.

On the other side of the crevice, an aura that originated entirely from the same source as this clone, yet was indescribably powerful, was slowly reviving.

A hint of surprise appeared in Gu Changjin's eyes.

"It's here."

No one expected that the spatial node where the true path to immortality appeared would coincide with the space where the Emperor's Palace was located!

Of course, there was no path to immortality behind the former Emperor's Palace.

However, Gu Changjin's premature ascension to the throne weakened the Heavenly Dao Emperor Seal, and his devouring of ten Mortal Immortals disrupted the original trajectory of the universe's destiny.

Now, Gu Xuanzhou has become the sixth human emperor by virtue of his ancestral destiny.

With the simultaneous emergence of six imperial paths, the desire of all living beings to seek immortality was pushed to its peak ahead of schedule.

All these changes came together.

This has brought the path to immortality, which was originally expected to take decades to appear, to a head start!

And it appeared right behind the Emperor's Palace.

"Fate is a really interesting thing."

Gu Changjin smiled.

He had originally planned to use this clone to handle some matters in the greater universe.

Now that the path to immortality has appeared, there is naturally no need for it.

The black-robed clone lowered his head.

Starting from the feet, the body gradually turned into darkness.

The cultivation, origin, and consciousness of the Great Emperor in his early stages all surged along that spatial rift towards the end of the path to immortality.

Standing at the palace gate, Gu Xuanzhou only saw a figure disappear.

Before I could even speak.

The entire Imperial Palace shook violently!

At the same time, between the two realms, lies the true end of the path to immortality.

A figure whose features were obscured sat cross-legged amidst the shattered immortal light.

The space around him was constantly distorting, breaking, and then reforming.

The Devouring Immortal Realm hangs within the Dao Fruit.

The aura of the immortals, dormant for three hundred years, finally began to flow again at this moment.

Gu Changjin opened his eyes.

boom!!!

The tiny crack in the Emperor's Palace expanded instantly!

The wall was not broken.

But an ancient road, so vast that its end could not be seen, appeared from behind layers of space.

Celestial light surged forth, and the life-giving substance transformed into a tide, passing over the Emperor's Palace and instantly engulfing the entire ancient star of the Imperial Court!

One by one, the medicinal herbs that had withered for many years began to grow again.

The old cultivator, whose lifespan was nearing its end, felt the depleted vitality within his body revitalize.

Everyone in the Imperial Court looked up at the same time.

Gu Xuanzhou stood at the forefront of the celestial light, his expression undergoing a dramatic change for the first time.

He has become the emperor.

Nature perceives things more clearly than others.

This is not ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor is it the origin of an emperor; it is a power that truly does not belong to the universe!

The next moment, five imperial paths simultaneously traversed the starry sky!

Five contemporary human emperors tore through the void and descended upon the ancient star of the Imperial Court almost simultaneously.

No one congratulated Gu Xuanzhou, nor did anyone ask why the Emperor's Palace had been opened.

They all stared intently at the ancient road that was constantly expanding deep within the hall.

Immediately afterwards, an aura of imperial power rose from the alien ancestral star.

An ancient emperor from another race also descended.

He first glanced warily at the six human emperors.

But when his gaze fell into the depths of the Emperor's Palace, the fear in his eyes was immediately replaced by greed.

"Aura of a celestial realm..."

"There can't be any mistake!"

"The true path to immortality is actually hidden within the Emperor's Palace!"

The sound spread throughout the universe.

In that instant, all the forbidden zones of life were completely shaken!

An ancient mine, silent for countless years, has cracked open.

A burial ground floating on the edge of the universe lit up with imperial array patterns.

There are also several hidden spaces that have never been discovered by the world, which also exude a suffocating aura of supreme power.

One, three, ten!

More and more dormant supreme beings in the forbidden zone are beginning to revive.

They had waited too long.

His lifespan had long since come to an end.

Now that the true path to immortality has appeared, even if six human emperors stand in front of them, they will not be forced to retreat!

Darkness spread outwards from the various forbidden zones, and ancient figures walked into the starry sky.

This time, it's not a test.

The true darkness and turmoil that will sweep across the entire universe has arrived!

Countless human cultivators raised their heads.

They saw six human imperial paths manifest simultaneously, stretching across the Imperial Court star field.

Some people were so excited they were trembling, while others remained silent.

Because six emperors do not necessarily mean that the six people are truly of one mind.

The first five emperors came from different forces, and there was a struggle between them for the imperial path and destiny.

Gu Xuanzhou had only just become an Emperor, and his cultivation level was not yet fully stable.

In contrast, consider the forbidden zone of life.

Each of those supreme beings once dominated an era. After truly initiating a dark upheaval, they could even burn their last source of power to briefly restore their former peak.

Whether the six imperial paths can unite to fight the enemy remains to be seen.

In the dark and turbulent past, humanity often had only one emperor to fight against the chaos.

And this time...

The human race has six emperors!

Will the outcome be different...?
