Shi Yi tried to control the perspective, but found he couldn't. He was like an observer, only able to watch passively.

The perspective is shifting and changing. The protagonist of this perspective was born in a chaotic world and rose to power in this great era. He grew stronger step by step, constantly defeating powerful enemies and climbing towards higher peaks. Finally, this being pacified the chaotic world, suppressed all the disorder, and restored peace to this world.

However, this world is in the Dharma-ending Age, and even someone as powerful as him must face the hurdle called "Time".

Is it to emulate those creatures that incite turmoil, devouring the life essence of all beings and barely surviving, or to risk everything and challenge time and death?

With a heart full of compassion for all living beings and a grand vision, he chose the latter. For the sake of immortality, he tempered himself through the years, breaking through his limits time and time again, and coming back from the brink of death. He lived life after life in this way, until finally, even the years could not leave a mark on him. He transformed into a celestial being in the mortal world.

Following his perspective, Shi Yi felt as if he had experienced it all himself.

"Is this what it means to become an immortal in the mortal world?"

Shi Yi whispered, "Nothing is more awe-inspiring than witnessing it firsthand."

In the past, he only knew about it but had never seen it before, but now it's different.

He witnessed firsthand the extraordinary feat of a sage who struggled to survive through the ages and achieved immortality through nine lifetimes, which deeply moved him.

This is an unimaginable accumulation that will bring immeasurable benefits after entering the realm of immortality. At the very least, when breaking through to the King or becoming an Emperor, having such a foundation will make one more composed.

Shi Yi thought it was over and he should return, but unexpectedly, the perspective shifted again.

He saw this being break through the barriers of the world and fight its way into the myriad realms. At that time, the myriad realms were in chaos, darkness was rampant, and the power on the other side of the boundary sea was beginning to emerge.

This being forcefully attained the Dao of Immortal King, and once he became unstoppable, he swept across all directions, pacified the darkness, established the Heavenly Court, and finally, he broke through the King to become an Emperor, transforming into an unparalleled Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and slaughtered his way to the point that no one in the myriad realms dared to claim supremacy.

In the very end, the kings saw him off, and he silently embarked on his journey alone, leaving a faint trail of footprints in the sand, all the way to the dam, to quell the final darkness.

Shi Yi was in a daze, everything had disappeared, and he returned to the Mortal Realm.

"It's really him!"

Chapter 403 Audience with the Heavenly Emperor

That quasi-immortal emperor who traveled alone through the Boundary Sea died a tragic death on the other side of the Boundary Sea. Before his departure, he left this relic for his descendants, wanting to tell them the importance of becoming an immortal in the mortal world, and leaving behind a practical path.

Unfortunately, for over a million years, not a single creature that has entered this place has been able to reach this point.

This gives us an idea of ​​just how powerful that magnificent Quasi-Immortal Emperor was, and how high the standards he set were.

Of course, every creature that enters this secret realm will face a test that exceeds its own limits.

Shi Yi not only passed the test, but also performed exceptionally well. Because of this, he saw the entire life of the Footprint Emperor, not just the part about his nine lifetimes of immortality.

Coming to his senses, Shi Yi suddenly realized that his aura was somewhat different, with a hint of worldly detachment, as if he had been tempered and refined in the mortal world, giving his originally sacred and radiant immortal light an extraordinary brilliance.

He was originally like a candle in the dark night, extremely dazzling, surrounded by holy immortal light, like a true immortal descending to the mortal world. Now, with the added aura of the mortal world, Shi Yi is even more special. Even if he walks with the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking, others can notice him at a glance.

If it were an environment like the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Chaotic Ancient Era, he might worry about being suppressed and dissected by those immortal families. However, in this era, Shi Yi is not worried at all, because the Heavenly Court has established a very good order, so there is no need to worry about being too dazzling and being plotted against.

As Shi Yi stepped down from the Mortal Realm Platform, a large opening suddenly appeared in front of him, emanating the aura of the outside world.

Without hesitation, he walked out.

Outside, the Eternal Immortal King stood tall, with eight young beings behind him, including Lin Ni and the others.

Upon seeing Shi Yi, everyone was startled and noticed the change in him.

Without exception, the young prodigies all showed expressions of envy. Although they had all made considerable gains, compared to Shi Yi, they were nothing.

A strange light shone in Lin Ni's eyes. This young being was truly amazing; he had actually obtained the legendary fortune of the mortal world. It was hard not to admire him.

The people here were just discussing whether Shi Yi had disappeared or had encountered a great opportunity.

Of the ten beings, one has been confirmed missing and has not returned. Shi Yi has been inside for a very long time without any sign of coming out, which naturally arouses speculation. Now it seems that he is digesting the great fortune in the secret realm.

The Eternal Immortal King gave Shi Yi an approving look and nodded.

For over a million years, he was the first being to emerge with the scent of the mortal world.

However, there was still a hint of a sigh in the eyes of the Eternal Immortal King.

“He can’t get out. We can only tell his people the truth and leave,” the Eternal Immortal King whispered.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the scene before everyone's eyes changed repeatedly. When things returned to normal, they had already returned to the Celestial Realm.

The prodigies all gained something, and after bidding farewell, they returned to their clans to prepare for seclusion.

Just as Shi Yi was about to take his leave, the Eternal Immortal King stopped him.

"I have something to ask you. You don't need to answer; just blink," the Eternal Immortal King whispered.

Shi Yi sighed inwardly. Sure enough, this supreme giant had seen through his origins and realized that he did not belong to this era.

How could such a thing possibly escape the notice of an unparalleled giant?

He nodded.

Then, the Eternal Immortal King spoke, asking some questions about the future direction of this era.

Even a blink of an eye could give Shi Yi a sense of impending danger, but fortunately, his Dao was unique and he was able to avoid some backlash.

As long as the Eternal Immortal King doesn't ask too many questions, there won't be any problems.

"Alright, that's all I wanted to ask. Thank you for your answers." The Eternal Immortal King gave Shi Yi a deep look.

He then watched Shi Yi leave.

"Such a colossal entity as the Heavenly Court, which has stood for countless years without falling, will one day vanish into thin air..." The Eternal Immortal King murmured to himself, his eyes filled with contemplation.

He felt that there was only one possibility for the Heavenly Court to vanish: all the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court had perished and died without a burial place.

What kind of impact could cause such a catastrophe?

"Could it be... that the other side of the Boundary Sea is related to the Emperor?" The Eternal Immortal King realized with a start, having a premonition.

Just then, a large, iconic bell was struck, its sound resounding throughout the heavens and the myriad realms.

"when!"

……

This bell tolls inaudible to ordinary beings, but only to celestial kings. It was set up by the Heavenly Court to summon celestial kings for discussions, signifying that something significant has occurred.

The Eternal Immortal King revealed a solemn expression and vanished from his spot.

Just as Shi Yi was about to leave the Celestial Court of the Immortal Realm, he suddenly paused, slightly startled, and stood still.

He seemed to faintly hear the sound of bells, very indistinct, coming from the past.

At this moment, a flawless and peerless beauty walked over, her pair of golden wings fluttering continuously, like the most perfect work of art from heaven. She was none other than Lin Ni, the granddaughter of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Shi Yi, what's wrong?" Lin Ni asked. She hadn't left and was waiting here for Shi Yi, hoping to invite him to visit her tribe.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Ni, can you hear that bell tolling in the darkness?" Shi Yi asked.

Lin Ni listened intently, but heard nothing.

She shook her head.

“I didn’t hear any bell. With your strength, you couldn’t possibly have misheard. That means…” Lin Ni stopped mid-sentence as she suddenly thought of a large bell in the Heavenly Court.

If I remember correctly, only the Celestial King can hear this bell. It is used to summon the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court. Once it is rung, it means that something big is about to happen.

"Could it be that bell? But how could you hear the bell?" Lin Ni asked疑惑地.

"What clock?" Shi Yi asked.

Lin Ni told them the information about the clock.

The perceptive Shi Yi immediately realized something was wrong. His hearing couldn't be wrong; it must be the Celestial King Bell from the Heavenly Court. As for why he could hear it, it was most likely because Shi Yi didn't belong to this era. That's why the faint sound of the bell could come from the past.

The Celestial King's Bell tolls, summoning all the kings; this only happens when something of immense magnitude has occurred.

Aside from the return of the Five Heavenly Emperors from the Boundary Sea, what else could possibly be worthy of ringing the Immortal King's Bell?

Is Little Emperor coming?

Shi Yi's expression was extremely solemn. He seemed to see the terrifying scene of overwhelming darkness, with celestial palaces being destroyed and falling to the ground one by one.

"what happened to you?"

Lin Ni noticed something was off about him and asked in a low voice.

"A storm is coming," Shi Yi sighed.

He then reminded Lin Ni and led her toward exploring the Heavenly Court's Boundary Sea.

The latter was no ordinary person; he was intelligent and quick-witted, and soon realized what Shi Yi wanted to express.

"So, the bell sound means... my grandfather and the others have returned?" Lin Ni was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat worried. Shi Yi's reaction gave her a sense of foreboding.

"Would you like to visit my tribe?" Although Lin Ni was eager to return home and see her grandfather's true form as soon as possible, she still did not forget to invite Shi Yi.

"I am more than happy to accept your invitation, fellow Daoist." Shi Yi nodded and agreed to return to Lin Ni's clan with her. It seemed that this was the only way to see the Heavenly Emperor.

He followed Lin Ni and they arrived at a magnificent celestial palace.

This place is so vast, it's not a celestial palace at all, it's practically a boundless world.

Various sacred scenes came into view, and everywhere was filled with divine light.

Lin Ni led Shi Yi over, and many ethereal beings along the roadside bowed to Lin Ni and greeted her.

She was a princess of the Heavenly Court, the granddaughter of the Heavenly Emperor, and her status was naturally extremely noble, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Before long, the two arrived at the ancestral land of the Lin Clan. Here, Shi Yi met many of the Lin Clan's elders, including True Immortals and Quasi-Immortal Kings.

After listening to Lin Ni's introduction of Shi Yi, these True Immortals and Quasi-Immortal Kings showed solemn expressions. They knew that this young man was extraordinary and might be a future Heavenly Emperor.

He received the highest level of hospitality from the Heavenly Emperor's clan, which made Shi Yi feel flattered, considering that he wasn't even a True Immortal.

This shows how much the Heavenly Emperor's family values ​​young prodigies.

After a grand banquet, Lin Ni led Shi Yi through the ancestral land of the Lin clan.

Suddenly, the two encountered a boy dressed in animal skins, diligently practicing archery at a shooting range.

The scene was abrupt, because the Lin tribe was a near-immortal race, and the sudden appearance of a "little wild man" was very incongruous, as if they had arrived in the Great Wilderness.

Lin Ni smiled and led Shi Yi closer. After her introduction, Shi Yi understood the origin of this "little wild man." He was a member of the Lin clan who had been scattered elsewhere. He was only recently discovered because the Heavenly Emperor bloodline in his body had reverted to its ancestral form, so he was brought back.

"Sister Lin Ni."

When the little wild man saw that it was Lin Ni, he immediately smiled and greeted her.

"Lin Tian, ​​this is Brother Shi Yi."

"Brother Shi Yi."

The little wild man called out to Shi Yi in a clear voice. Shi Yi smiled and nodded, then walked over and patted his head.

"Such powerful blood energy! It's practically a humanoid little dragon. This kind of talent is truly unparalleled among its peers. It will surely achieve great things in the future," Shi Yi commented.

"His ambitions are quite grand; he's always been saying he wants to be the Heavenly Emperor," Lin Ni said with a smile.

"The Heavenly Emperor? Haha, not a bad ambition." Shi Yi laughed, but his smile immediately froze.

"what happened?"

"Uh, nothing, I just suddenly remembered something," Shi Yi replied.

He then remembered that there was a butcher in later generations who was feared and was related to Lin Ni. His image was that of a fierce man holding a bow and arrow. Could this be Lin Tian in front of him?

It's quite possible. After all, Lin Tian is exceptionally talented, possessing the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor. If a great calamity were to strike and the darkness were to eradicate the Heavenly Emperor's clan, only two people could be saved...

"Hehe, Lin Tian has shown remarkable talent since he was a child," Shi Yi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ni nodded in agreement, while Lin Tian blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed by the praise.

The two stayed there for a while before leaving. Lin Tian continued to practice archery diligently.

As they walked, they came to a magnificent ancient tree of the sun. It was a near-world tree, vast and boundless, with a sun resting on a single leaf. Its imposing presence made one acutely aware of one's own insignificance when standing before it.

Shi Yi appeared calm, but was inwardly astonished. If he wasn't mistaken, this ancient sun tree was the one that would seal Lin Ni in the future.

Later, it grew in the Boundary Tomb and transformed into a true World Tree.

"This ancient tree has an extraordinary origin. Legend has it that it was the birthplace of Lord Jinwu, who lived on its branches. Later, when my grandfather and Lord Jinwu were creating the cultivation system together, my grandfather helped him a great deal, enabling him to make an amazing breakthrough. After that, he gave this ancient tree to my grandfather," Lin Ni recounted.

Shi Yi nodded, understanding the origin of this ancient tree. He had been wondering why the Sun God Tree, which was related to the Golden Crow, was with Lin Ni, but now the truth was clear.

Just as the two were discussing the Ancient Tree of the Sun, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared on the tree canopy and stood there.

Shi Yi was the first to notice something was wrong. He looked up and saw a magnificent ancient palace lying across the canopy of the ancient sun tree.
