Perfect Double Agent

"It is said that to become an Immortal Emperor, one must achieve perfection in every realm, be flawless, and only then will there be a slight possibility in the final leap." Yunzhi murmured, observing the many quasi-Immortal Emperors with their eyes closed. Her gaze swept over the Dao principles on each of them, secretly evolving. This process was the release of one's own Dao by the wine. Although it was impossible to see everything, it was enough to benefit one greatly.

"Every realm must be perfected to the extreme?" The Old Man of Annihilation raised his eyes; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

“That’s true.” The silver-haired man, Meng Wei, nodded. “This theory comes from a note left by a Celestial Emperor. However, no one has been able to break through it. In comparison, you can serve our clan with peace of mind. It’s not impossible for you to obtain the Primordial Matter in the future and use it to achieve a breakthrough. It’s hard to fail.”

"It's hard to fail?" Even the Azure Emperor instantly sobered up, and even the Feather Emperor, who was not convinced by the Old Man of Annihilation, narrowed his eyes.

Although they were amazed by the powerful effects of primordial matter, wasn't this just empty promises? The more powerful something is, the rarer it is. There must not be much primordial matter in the Calamity Land, otherwise so many quasi-Immortal Emperors would not have taken root in the lower realm. Which race would give up such an opportunity to cultivate Immortal Emperors?

“You have also made sacrifices, so you should understand the role of all living beings in this world. As long as you follow the will of Heaven and wholeheartedly prepare for the grand sacrifice, the higher realms will naturally remember our contributions.”

The three emperors glanced sideways at Bai Ye, who had somehow become seated cross-legged on the central altar. The role of the living beings was indeed multifaceted; sacrifices could purify the primordial spirit. Even the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Boundary Sea needed it and was willing to exchange it for Immortal Emperor scriptures. Even the Etu clan, known as the number one race in the world, was doing the same thing, on a larger scale and with wider sacrifices. It was hard to say whether there were any unknown secrets hidden within.

"Is the ritual related to anything above the Immortal Emperor?" Hongdi couldn't help but ask.

"That's not what you care about." Meng Wei didn't say much and fell silent as well. "Above the Immortal Emperor? You will never even become an Immortal Emperor in your entire lives. You can only wait quietly in the long years like us."

A moment later, the entire hall fell silent. Chaos surged, and the rules of the Great Dao were like a vast ocean, captivating the three Immortal Kings and causing their cultivation to increase involuntarily.

This process was extremely long, more than ten years passed in the blink of an eye. The strangest thing was that, as time went by, one after another, the light of the Great Dao connected to the central altar, guarding a seed of time and space.

As Yunzhi said, Emperor Cheng did indeed strive for perfection in every realm, and Bai Ye's rapid progress was also related to this.

However, these are just basic requirements. Anyone who can become a quasi-Immortal Emperor is not lacking in ability. The reason why they are blocked is also related to their own potential.

In recent years, he has been studying ancient scriptures and observing and analyzing the ways of the emperors, but he only has a preliminary understanding of them now.

"Is it about to begin?" The Old Man of Annihilation glanced at Bai Ye midway through. The first step to becoming an Emperor is to take the Immortal Embryo, which is a necessary step. He himself only began his attempt after taking this step.

Bai Ye remained motionless, surrounded by the flames of the emperors. The Immortal Embryo refers to the transformation, which unifies all the potential of the physical body, giving birth to a flawless physical embryo, shedding the past, and then further pushing the Dao Fruit nurtured during the Quasi-Immortal Emperor period to a new peak, reaching the end of the road. This process is actually a comprehensive sublimation, or simply the end of the road.

After all, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is the ancestor of a Dao. This level is actually a rudimentary Immortal Emperor Dao. They have already embarked on their own path. However, many people feel that their potential has reached its limit when they reach this stage, and they can no longer make any progress. In reality, they have already embarked on their Dao. The difference is that some people's Dao is only two or three meters long and can be seen at a glance, while some people's Dao has infinite potential and cannot be seen at a glance.

It's obvious that Bai Ye had ulterior motives. Inviting the emperors to drink was less about inviting them and more about using their methods to hone his own skills.

As time went on, a drop of water gradually appeared in his abdomen, seemingly existing between illusion and reality, yet not existing in the river of time. One moment it drifted away from all worlds, the next it jumped out of time and space, floating alone above eternity.

At the same time, all kinds of patterns and primitive runes on the entire magnificent ancient palace were manifesting, and along with the patterns that were generated under the emperors, they all converged on Bai Ye, causing the drop of water in his abdomen to grow and begin to change.

One moment it evolves into all things, the next into all spirits. Sword towers, halberds, ten fierce divine forms, and countless wondrous techniques are all performed in the changes of a single drop of water. It is as if all great powers are gathered in one body, and it is about to completely transform into a living being, to ascend to the heavens, and achieve the ultimate leap.

Chapter 662 An Irreconcilable Feud

Is the Heavenly Emperor still in seclusion?

In the deepest part of the alien realm, Kundi looked at the vast sea of ​​stars and involuntarily swallowed. The Great Dao was like countless stars, and the sound waves were like a giant tide. That mighty aura had existed for many years.

Actually, he was very envious, and he also wanted to go and see for himself. Even though the Evil Lands were defeated by them, those emperors still wouldn't communicate with the king.

Now, Pu Mo is undergoing Nirvana, Wu Shang has entered halfway through, and Gu and An Lan are undergoing tempering, all wanting to become emperors. There is basically no one in the entire heaven who can make decisions.

"It's only been 20,000 years. One or two eras is normal, isn't it?" Qu Chong opened his eyes from his meditation. "Has something happened?"

Kundi shook his head. "It's not a big deal. A war has broken out in the Boundary Sea. The Dark Immortal King has formed his own faction, and the Immortal Realm and the Burial Ground are each operating independently. Under that baby's leadership, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are constantly fighting with the Immortal Realm. A few days ago, the friction escalated, and the two sides completely came to blows. Immortal Kings have been killed by that baby, and not just one!"

"Isn't he a newly crowned king? How can he be so strong?" Qu Chong was surprised. Huang was very young, and he had only been a king for a little over 20,000 years. Apart from the Heavenly Emperor, Huang's cultivation speed was rare in the world.

"He's more than just strong. Don't underestimate him. As the second person in the world to break free from the cycle of self-reliance and create his own system, his talent is unparalleled throughout history. He might even become an emperor in one or two eras!" Kundi exclaimed. That baby was truly outrageous.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Wu Shang and Pu Mo were able to become emperors. Without the Heavenly Emperor's help, they would never have been able to achieve it in this lifetime. Even he, who has consumed so many elixirs and been tempered by two bone artifacts multiple times, is still stuck on the path to becoming an emperor. It's not that he doesn't try, but that he simply can't see the path to becoming an emperor.

But that baby is different. He relies entirely on himself, his path to the Great Dao is unobstructed, and his advancement is astonishingly fast. I heard that he became a giant in a single battle not long ago. Just a slight comparison is enough to see the difference.

Such a person, who can make rapid progress even in the King Realm, is almost universally recognized as a symbol of the Imperial Clan.

"Let's fight then. That little storm is nothing. The Crimson King and I can wipe them out."

Kundal: "..."

You guys are really getting cocky. Do you really think those places are deserted? Not to mention the Butcher, just take the Burial Master for example. He has accumulated experience on the Kingly Path for one era after another and even created the Burial Ground Method. In all the heavens, he would be considered half an Ancestor of the Dao. But he doesn't deny that the Crimson King is also very strong. With the influx of resources, he has moved at lightning speed and even reborn a new body. The old body mainly cultivates the Great Dao of Time and is advancing towards the pinnacle of the King. The new body has switched to cultivating the Great Dao of Space and is ambitious. Once the two bodies are combined, he will become an Emperor in one fell swoop.

This is not impossible; it is highly feasible. Even the Heavenly Emperor has praised it, which has greatly motivated the Red King.

What truly worries him is, if Huang were to unify the Three Realms, where would he go next?

Whether it's the Immortal Realm or the subordinates of the Wilderness, they all have a blood feud with them. They may not care, but do those people care?

The Wilderness represents the Immortal Path, while they represent the forces of darkness. Since ancient times, the two have been incompatible, especially now that they have joined forces with the Calamity Land. No one knows this news yet, and if the Three Realms find out, who knows how they will condemn them.

"Let's leave it for now and let them do whatever they want." Kundi felt exhausted. If he had his own ideas, he would have wiped them all out. What immortal path? The heavens would have been defeated and subdued, with everyone chanting the name of the Heavenly Emperor, each one more devout than the last.

“We should also begin. Let’s create our own path. With so many ancient scriptures and evolutionary paths to refer to, and with our talents not being bad either, if we can gain some inspiration, we can use it to create our own evolutionary system in the future.” Kundi revealed another purpose of his visit.

Emperor Cheng could either follow the broad path laid out by his predecessors and open up new avenues, or he could create his own. There were methods, but it was up to him to implement them. By uniting with Qu Chong, Jiu Zhuchong, Yuan Laotou, and others, he might very well have succeeded.

This is an era of great evolution, and also an era of explosive growth. Too many kings have been suppressed for countless years. Once the scriptures and resources are supported, it is hard to say whether a few emperors will emerge. This is not impossible. They are not blindly pursuing the path of emperors, but have predecessors to guide them, which will undoubtedly make things much easier.

In contrast, the creatures in another place were filled with hesitation.

Deep within the Dark Continent, one creature after another awakens from their slumber. Due to the invasion of the Calamity Land, many armies remained on this continent. Now that the Three Emperors are gone, some people have begun to harbor ulterior motives.

"Go to the forbidden area? Do you want to die?" a commander said in a low voice.

They are the followers of the Dark Emperor. Any schemes they may have had will be seen through when the Emperors return. Time is nothing to them, and even what has happened on this land cannot be hidden from their investigation.

"What secrets lie hidden deep within? Don't you want to know? Perhaps you can become emperors from there!" one king whispered, but his last two words kept echoing in the minds of the other kings, full of temptation.

"Gulp!"

Someone swallowed, the sound of their throat bobbing clearly audible on the desolate earth.

Emperor Cheng—just two simple words that have captivated countless people throughout history, inspiring their longing and aspirations, for which they would give up everything.

"I've been having trouble sleeping lately, and I keep feeling a calling that's guiding me. Perhaps we should go in and take a look. This is the best time. If we miss it, we'll never have any hope again!" The figure continued to tempt me.

In fact, without his persuasion, the people around him were already tempted. The three emperors had been gone for more than 20,000 years, and no one knew when they would return. This was the longest they had ever been away.

Each of them has their own will and their own thoughts. Some have nine heads, some have nineteen heads, and some were once the chosen ones of the Three Realms, unparalleled heroes, whose physical bodies were reborn with their primordial spirits. They don't remember much of their past, but that doesn't mean they have nothing at all.

Dark matter can indeed erode, but some people's past is not completely severed, like Meng Tianzheng in the original work, who still has instincts.

"Then let's go see! If there are emperors in the world, why can't it be us!" a young man whispered.

It should be understood that the Dark Emperors have accumulated countless years of power, and their prisons and temples of guidance, along with the sleeping kings on the continent, constitute a massive army capable of easily annihilating the Three Realms and all the heavens.

The most terrifying thing is that everyone is a rare hero in the world, with unparalleled talent. Otherwise, how could they have been chosen and devoured in the dark prison, never having the chance to reach the next ancient temple and finally gain the qualification to sleep in the dark continent?

Even though the chances are slim, with such a large number of people, it's not impossible for one in ten thousand to stand out once the opportunity arises.

“What Fellow Daoist Changsheng said is absolutely right. If there are emperors in the world, why can’t it be us?” A leader echoed.

"You're really a professional at causing trouble," a nine-headed monster whispered to the boy named Changsheng, who was in the group.

"Fellow Daoist is joking. Our fate is in our own hands, not in the heavens. If Bai... can become an emperor, and Wu... Shang can become an emperor, why can't we?" Wang Changsheng whispered, not daring to utter the name aloud for fear of being sensed. The terror of an emperor is unimaginable, which is why everyone yearns to become an emperor.

“That brat…” The Nine-Headed Monster clenched his fists. You must know that the other party was just a child back then, and was still acting as a messenger between them and the kings. In such a short time, he has transformed into the ruler of the world. This feeling is too painful. Until the invasion of the Evil Land, he and Wang Changsheng took the opportunity of that great battle to return to the dark camp. This was not difficult, because Wang Changsheng was originally a subordinate of the Dark Emperor.

The Dark Continent was dark and vast. The deeper one went, the more unsettling it became, as if some enormous creature lurked within. The invisible oppression and unease made the heart of every king pound.

Rebel against the Dark Emperor! If we wait for those people to return, they will die in a very rhythmic and gruesome manner.

"What's in the depths...? Has anyone been there..." Wang couldn't bear the oppression and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, it should be related to the sacrifice... After each sacrifice, those emperors would sleep for a period of time, as if digesting what they had gained. Whatever is deep inside, it can bring great benefits to the capital, and it will definitely have an effect on us as well."

Perhaps even the Azure Emperor and the others didn't expect that someone would be so audacious as to try to break free from their control while they were away.

They moved quickly, and despite the unimaginable vastness of the Dark Continent, the group of kings soon approached its depths.

This is the end of a palace ruin. The black earth is filled with a sinister mist. In front of it, an ancient stele stands tall, emitting a crystal-clear white light. It is not very tall, but it is pure white like jade, sacred and flawless.

"This is……"

The kings were startled and stared intently at the ancient jade tablet in front of them. Its surface was covered with dense, clear and profound primitive runes, flowing with mystery. A single glance at it seemed as if endless wonders were blooming in their hearts.

"The Original True Explanation... The Ultimate Chapter!" The Nine-Headed Monster was greatly shocked. Although he was a king, he was a combination of nine immortal kings, possessing too many ancient immortal techniques and secrets. He even knew the Three Great Sword Techniques and the Annihilation Fist, one of the creators of the ancient immortal techniques. Naturally, he had also heard of the Ultimate Chapter of the Original True Explanation.

“Not just the final chapter… it seems to be… the Emperor-Making Chapter!” a nineteen-headed monster whispered, his eyes flashing and his gaze suddenly brightening.

The Emperor's Law! There is actually the Emperor's Law here! None of them expected that such a thing would appear before they had even reached the deepest part of the place. He couldn't help but want to let out a loud roar to vent the confusion and repression of the past few years.

Even the other commanders' breathing quickened instantly, filled with excitement; this was an incredible opportunity.

But after the initial excitement, everyone became wary.

Since ancient times, wealth has been a powerful motivator, let alone the method of becoming an emperor. This is enough to trigger a bloodbath. Once it gets out, all the kings will fight tooth and nail for it.

"This..." Wang Changsheng and the Nine-Headed Monster looked at each other, their pupils shrinking. They were indeed trying to entice them, their original intention was to see what was deep inside, but they never expected that there really was something, and it was even a method to become an emperor!

What they desperately needed had come to them; one can only imagine how these kings felt at that moment.

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't expect this thing either. It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse. After all, people are selfish." Wang Changsheng transmitted his voice. He was not a subordinate of the Nine-Headed Monster. At most, they were just in an alliance. This alliance was fragile and vulnerable under the impact of the Emperor's Law.

"Fellow Daoists, do not forget that we are betraying each other. We are all in the same boat now. Since we have such good fortune, we should study the Emperor's Path together. Otherwise, no matter where we flee to, we will not be of any use." Wang Changsheng spoke quickly, calming the excited group of Wangs down again.

Yes, daring to come this far is already a betrayal. Once those emperors return and discover the anomaly, their deductions suggest they will all be doomed.

“Take another look over there…” someone suddenly spoke, stepping past the jade tablet and pointing deeper into the area.

There, black mist billowed, like dark clouds obscuring the sky, emanating an incomparably terrifying aura. As the kings gazed upon it, they saw an ancient stele.

That stele was different from this one; it was completely broken and dilapidated. Only a few ancient characters made of Daoist runes remained on the stele itself. While appearing and disappearing in the black mist, it exuded an unimaginable aura. Just by looking at it, they felt a great terror that their souls and bodies would completely disintegrate!

"The opportunity that led to Emperor Cheng..."

After deciphering it, the king's mind was shaken once again, and a huge wave surged in his heart. The few characters of the Great Dao were not difficult to recognize. Any being from any era could understand them as long as they were powerful enough. But what was truly frightening was the meaning that those characters represented!

"Does 'becoming an Emperor' here mean becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor... or does it mean...?"

Wang swallowed hard, not daring to think any further. He felt like he was going crazy. There was definitely a huge secret hidden here, one that, once revealed, would be beyond the imagination of the world.

However, the White Emperor and the Dark Emperors must have come here as well, and most likely they have comprehended something in the deepest part of the place.

"First, memorize the Emperor's Chapter and clear away any traces. The energy there is too terrifying; we can't go there right now," Wang Changsheng said in a low voice. Today's events had a huge impact on them. Everyone was taking a deep breath, forcing themselves not to look any deeper, afraid that they would lose control of their minds.

Even the will of a Celestial King is hard to resist such temptation, so one can imagine the impact they suffered today.

"An emperor...we should have hope now..."

The kings left, preparing to go back and digest what they had learned.

On the other side of that boundary sea, a king lamented, "With no invincible opponent in the world, my heart is lonely; where can I find a worthy adversary to ease my sorrow?"

"Pfft! You're still as narcissistic as ever!" Huo Ling'er couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at the melancholy man sitting cross-legged on the cloud.

The aloof woman beside her raised her eyebrows and said, "She can only be a powerful figure in this small place. If she were to go to my realm, she would be beaten bloody!"
