Although they couldn't see through the little girl in front of them, she was clearly a human who had been created through cultivation. It was actually quite absurd that a human who had been created through cultivation had been recognized as a master by a treasure from the beginning of creation.

"Ha, strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual." Qiuniu was stunned.

Ye Liuyun smiled sheepishly.

“Little girl, it’s not difficult to become an Immortal Emperor in the Primordial Era. At that time, there was an Immortal Ancestor Realm above the Immortal Emperor. However, the Immortal Ancestor Realm cannot be reached through cultivation. Only the first batch of innate beings born from Pangu’s body could reach this realm, such as the Dragon Ancestor Zhulong, the Phoenix Ancestor, Yuanfeng and Yuanhuang, the Qilin Ancestor, and ten other innate beings including the Gods.”

"However, those ten were punished by the Great Heavenly Dao or the Heavenly Venerable in the Primordial Era. They were forced to merge with the Dao to complete the Heavenly Dao. Then only the second and third batches of innate beings remained. However, due to some reasons, even many of the second batch of innate beings were forced to merge with the Dao, such as the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, the ancestor of the Fox Clan."

"In the late Primordial Era, in order to maintain the order of the Pangu Great World, the Heavenly Venerables joined forces to create the Immortal Realm, giving the gods a place to live. However, due to the problem of the God Ancestor, the rules of the Immortal Realm changed again, restricting the number of Immortal Emperors."

"At that time, only five Heavenly Emperors were given positions according to the five directions. However, due to the protection of the Great Heavenly Dao, the five Heavenly Emperors of the Immortal Realm respected the Central Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Race. The four of us Immortal Emperors cooperated, but in reality, we had to obey the leadership of the Central Heavenly Emperor."

"From now on, there can only be five Heavenly Emperors in the Pangu Great World. Other immortals who want to become Heavenly Emperors must challenge the Heavenly Emperor of their region and defeat him under the witness of the Heavenly Dao in order to break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm." Donghuang introduced the rules of the Immortal Realm to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun already knew this, but what she wanted to ask was whether there were any other ways.

"Isn't there any other way?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

Donghuang chuckled.

"A solution? To be honest, even I can't think of a solution. You know, if the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu Great World doesn't allow it, even the Heavenly Venerable can't do anything about it," Donghuang said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun was speechless.

"So, in the end, isn't it just a dead end? Heaven seems to have given us a chance, but in reality, there's too much room for maneuver. I think we should just give up and go to sleep," Ye Liuyun complained.

The other Celestial Kings also fell silent once again.

Just as everyone was having a headache, a very ethereal voice suddenly rang in Sun Yuan's ears.

"Little monkey, the opportunity for you to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm is both far away and right before your eyes."

The sound came suddenly, and Sun Yuan became inexplicably excited upon hearing it.

"Master?" Sun Yuan hurriedly looked around, trying to find the source of the voice, but unfortunately, the voice seemed to be echoing in his heart, floating and uncertain, impossible to trace.

Ye Liuyun, who was standing to the side, was taken aback when he saw Sun Yuan suddenly become so excited and calling out the words "Master".

"Master? Monkey, who are you calling?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's question, Sun Yuan's gaze lingered on Ye Liuyun for a few seconds before returning to its original state.

"Naturally, it's my master who taught me cultivation. I'm not a naturally born being; could I have this ability without someone teaching me?" Sun Yuan replied.

Ye Liuyun became interested.

"Really? Then I'm quite curious about who your master is. Could you tell me?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Sun Yuan thought for a moment, then recalled something.

“My master forbids me from telling others his name, but I can give you a general idea,” Sun Yuan said.

Sun Yuan was born from a stubborn rock in the early primordial era. Theoretically, he should be a stone spirit. At that time, he knew nothing and was bullied by other creatures. So he made up his mind to become stronger.

Then she began searching everywhere for a place to learn from a master. By chance, she met an ordinary old man on the road. The old man told her that in a deep mountain, there was a Taoist sect called the Celestial Immortal Sect.

Sun Yuan went to the place the old man pointed out with some doubt, and easily joined the Heavenly Immortal Sect, becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Immortal Sect. The master of the Heavenly Immortal Sect was a very mysterious old man, and the name Sun Yuan was given to him by his master.

One day, after Sun Yuan had mastered his skills, he woke up the next day to find that the entire Celestial Immortal Sect had vanished, as if it had never existed. It was as if he had been dreaming for hundreds of years.

However, Sun Yuan never felt that this was a dream. As his cultivation level increased, he understood that it was fate that he was able to meet his master, and that his master's disappearance meant the end of that fate.

In fact, the day before the Celestial Immortal Sect disappeared, his master called him over, talked to Sun Yuan about many things, and gave Sun Yuan something that could save his life in a critical moment.

Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that his master probably foresaw that he would face a death trial.

"What the heck? Are you sure your master isn't Bodhi Patriarch?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

Sun Yuan rolled his eyes again after hearing this.

“What nonsense! It’s definitely not the Bodhi Patriarch you’re talking about,” Sun Yuan replied.

Chapter 995 The Key to Breaking the Stalemate

These words immediately disappointed Ye Liuyun. Sun Yuan's experiences were so similar to the myths and legends of their Earth, but while the events were the same, the characters didn't seem to match up.

Myths and legends on Earth are more like adaptations of Sun Wukong's experiences.

"Hey! Little girl, have you created any special pills recently?" Sun Yuan asked in a low voice after thinking for a moment.

Sun Yuan's sudden question reminded Ye Liuyun of something.

“Hey, now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered that I recently synthesized a rather special pill. It seems that only experts above the Immortal King level can take it and it will have an effect. Would you like to give it a try?” Ye Liuyun narrowed his eyes.

Upon hearing the mention of drug testing, Sun Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and some unpleasant memories instantly surfaced in his mind.

"Testing medicine? Go away, go away! I, Old Sun, will not be your testing ground. Your pills are all kinds of strange and wonderful; who knows what effects they will have? I will not take pills with unknown effects." Sun Yuan refused directly.

"Really, these pills are meant for high-level cultivators like you. I assure you I'm not lying to you about testing them," Ye Liuyun said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

Sun Yuan initially wanted to refuse, but when he remembered that his master had just sent him a telepathic message saying that the opportunity to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm was right beside him, he couldn't help but start to think about it.

Ye Liuyun has always been a mystery to him, a mystery that he can't understand at all. In addition, he was saved by Ye Liuyun's elixir, so he felt that the opportunity might lie in Ye Liuyun, or rather, in Ye Liuyun's elixir.

"Alright, give me one to try." Sun Yuan held out his hand.

Ye Liuyun immediately smiled and took out an exquisite box from his body and placed it in Sun Yuan's hands.

"This pill is called the Primordial Golden Pill. I only know that this pill is used by immortals at the Immortal King level. I don't know its specific effects, but it certainly won't have any negative effects," Ye Liuyun assured him.

After thinking for a while, Sun Yuan put the pill away. If it was really a good thing, it was definitely not suitable to open it here.

As for the discussion among these bigwigs, to be honest, they didn't come to any conclusions.

"Alright, alright, everyone, after discussing this for so long, it still comes down to me in the end. I need time, there's really no other way. At worst, I'll go and storm the Heavenly Court of the Gods alone again, but I'll need to borrow some treasures first," Sun Yuan said.

After thinking for a while, Donghuang said.

"If you, Fellow Daoist Sun Yuan, really intend to storm the Heavenly Court of the Gods, I can lend you my creation treasure, the Heaven-Sweeping Bell."

Seeing that the Eastern Emperor was so generous, the Dragon Clan did not hold back.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, you may also borrow my Dragon Clan's Sky-Splitting Spear," Qiuniu said.

The dragon race also possesses treasures that were created at the dawn of time.

"I can also lend you, Fellow Daoist Sun, my Phoenix Clan's creation treasure, the Heaven-Burning Armor," said the Phoenix Clan Immortal King.

As the strongest dragon and phoenix clans in the primordial era, they almost all possessed innate creation treasures, except for the Qilin clan.

Because both the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan are actually formed from the bones of Pangu, the Heavenly Venerable. However, the Dragon Clan was formed from the most important spine of Pangu, while the Qilin Clan was formed from the other bones of Pangu.

It is possible that the two races share the same origin, and only one supreme treasure, formed from bones, was born.

"Haha, that's excellent. Then I, Old Sun, will return to the Central Heaven Realm first. If I need to attack the Heavenly Court of the Gods, I would appreciate your help." Sun Yuan laughed.

Donghuang nodded. In the face of matters of great importance, borrowing treasures was still necessary.

"Hey, monkey, don't go! Come play at my place first. By the way, you still haven't told me how you got to the Immortal Realm. I still have a lot of questions to ask you." Ye Liuyun quickly grabbed Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan rolled his eyes when he saw Ye Liuyun acting like a little girl.

"You really haven't grown up. You're still the same as you were back then. Alright, everyone, I'll catch up with this girl first." After saying that, Sun Yuan led Ye Liuyun away from the Eastern Emperor Palace.

The others found it extremely strange that Ye Liuyun seemed to know Sun Yuan so well.

"Hey, how come Sun Yuan is so familiar with this celestial maiden? Sun Yuan was once so arrogant. I remember when he was in the lower realm, he even stole treasures from my dragon clan. How come he can't do anything to a little girl?" Qiu Niu said, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Donghuang suddenly had something else to tell the Immortal Kings.

"By the way, fellow Daoists, I recently learned that there is a Heavenly River Star Region in the lower realm. I remember that this Heavenly River Star Region was once the plane that housed the Immortal Realm, right?" Donghuang said.

They naturally knew about Qiuniu.

"Yes, that's true. In the late Primordial Era, in order to stabilize the lower planes, the Celestial Venerable used great supernatural powers to separate the Immortal Realm and the Milky Way Star Region, making them their own worlds and turning them into the higher planes of the Pangu Great World," Qiuniu replied.

Donghuang had never been to the Tianhe Star Region, so he was not particularly familiar with it.

"Well, about a few years ago, tens of thousands of years ago in the lower realm, a planet called Burial God Star in the Tianhe Starfield was destroyed. I wonder if you know anything about this Burial God Star?" Donghuang asked again.

These words nearly made Qiuniu and the others drop their jaws.

"What? How is this possible? Who dares to do this? I'll wipe out their entire clan!" The nine dragon ancestors, including Qiuniu, were furious.

Because in the primordial era, the Burial God Star was the ancestral home of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans. Although they have moved to the Immortal Realm for many years, their ancestral home is gone. Do you think they can be happy about that?

"What on earth is going on? That planet wasn't destroyed in the primordial era. So much time has passed since then, and we've heard it's now under human rule. Their power is nowhere near as exaggerated as it was in our time. How could it possibly have been destroyed?" The two Celestial Kings of the Phoenix Clan were also completely baffled.

At that time, there was no Immortal Realm. The three races fought fiercely over the ownership of this planet, and none of them would give it up.

Even though they shattered space, they didn't destroy the planet. After all, this planet held a very different meaning for them than other planets.

"No way, could that planet be the primordial star that your three families fought over in the primordial era?" Donghuang suddenly realized something, and that what happened a few years ago was no small matter.

"That's right, it's that star. I never expected that our three races would fight to the death over this planet, and almost destroy the Pangu Great World. Now it's been destroyed by later generations of beings." Qiuniu was speechless.

The so-called "world that serves as the vessel for the Immortal Realm" means that beings from other small worlds must first come to the Milky Way Starfield before entering the Immortal Realm from there.

So at that time, the Tianhe Starfield was somewhat like a transit station in the celestial realm.

"Really? That's a bit strange. But as far as I know, there was a human force in the lower realm who tried to ascend to the Immortal Realm as a whole. In order to break the rules of the Immortal Realm, they used all the power of that star to break through the barrier of the Immortal Realm and then ascended to the Immortal Realm as a whole. It seems there were several thousand people in the group," Donghuang said.

Qiu Niu and the other creators of the Tianhe Starfield immediately fell into deep thought.

They were among the first immortals to enter and reside in the Immortal Realm. Although they knew about the rise of the human race, they had never witnessed it.

However, according to the ascendants from the lower realm, humans have basically become the overlords of the lower realm, and even the dragon race cannot defeat them.

But they remained relatively calm about this, because they were well aware that every era has its own dominant power.

For example, the three races in the primordial era, the gods in the ancient era, and the human race since the ancient times. Theoretically speaking, after the gods of the immortal realm withdrew, the human race might just rise to power.

Humanity may one day fade away, but not now; no race can defy this rule.

"Forget it, forget it. We are all retired overlords, and we have no right to talk about the current overlords. By the way, Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor, is there a force called the Longevity Sect in your Eastern Heaven Realm? May I ask, what is so special about this force?" Qiu Niu changed the subject and asked a question he really wanted to know.

This question piqued the interest of many powerful figures from various races present, as it was also a question they wanted to know.

Donghuang was taken aback again.

"Gentlemen, why ask this? As far as I know, this Longevity Sect seems to be only a seventh-grade immortal sect, right?" Donghuang replied calmly.

She certainly knew that Ye Liuyun was the sect leader of the Longevity Sect, but she didn't know the purpose of these guys, so she couldn't answer.

Let's take another look at Sun Yuan and Ye Liuyun talking outside.

Ye Liuyun first asked about the whereabouts of the other survivors.

"Where are the monkey, the fox, the two birds, and Tiger Mighty?"

“I don’t know. Anyway, after your wife blew up the Burial God Star, everyone scattered and disappeared. As for me, I’m a bit special. I came to the Immortal Realm with her by relying on the power of your peach tree,” Sun Yuan said.

"Huh? You came up here with Qinglu. That's strange. Where were you back then? She came to the Immortal Realm with me." Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

Sun Yuan chuckled.

“I was in a bad state at the time and had to hide in the peach tree’s body to hibernate. She didn’t tell you that I had also come to the Immortal Realm. That was because I told her not to tell you for the time being, because there were some issues with our identities. You may not know, but she and I were once friends in the Immortal Realm…” Sun Yuan then told Ye Liuyun about his relationship with Ye Qinglu.

When Ye Liuyun learned that Ye Qinglu was the spirit of the peach tree controlled by the gods, he was also stunned.

It can only be said that there are still too many things she doesn't know.

The others probably didn't tell her, not wanting her to worry, since Lin Qingyou alone was enough of a headache for her.

But it doesn't matter now, since she's on the list of people the gods have to deal with anyway.

"Alright, then we really are brothers in misfortune. So what are your plans next?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"What else can we do? Let's go back to the Central Heaven Realm and try your pills to see if there are any unexpected effects," Sun Yuan said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment.

"I think I can't just sit here and wait to die. I guess I should go to the Central Heaven Realm and see if I can infiltrate the God Clan," Ye Liuyun muttered.

When Sun Yuan heard that Ye Liuyun wanted to infiltrate the God Clan, he was speechless again.

"Fine, do whatever you want. Anyway, you've always been this bold. There aren't many people I, Old Sun, admire, but you're one of them," Sun Yuan said.

After saying this, Sun Yuan parted ways with Ye Liuyun. Sun Yuan was too much of a target; once he returned to the Central Heaven Realm, he would definitely be hunted down by the gods.

With the Jade Emperor's abilities, he could certainly have predicted what Sun Yuan was going to do, because if Sun Yuan wanted to take revenge on the gods, he could only return to the Central Heaven Realm.

However, the gods are currently preoccupied with other matters.

After the Jade Emperor returned, he sealed off the Heavenly Court, prohibiting anyone other than the gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court from entering. They were about to begin preparing for a momentous event concerning the rise and fall of the gods, an event that could only succeed and could not fail.
