A thousand years passed, and he entered the realm of Grand Yan Immortal. Following his master, Elder San Shou, he ventured into ancient ruins, carving out a great reputation, becoming a Prince, with the prospect of ascending to the Emperor position in the future.

During that time, Wuliang Buddha, who had long attained enlightenment, noticed him. There was a subtle karmic connection between the two.

Dao Lord Tianji had also visited Wuliang Buddha, seeking guidance on the cycle of cause and effect, life, and death.

From Wuliang Buddha, he learned that to become an Emperor, one had to search for fragments of human origin source of the heavenly realm. Though humans were weak, they still possessed their own fragments of origin source, albeit only considered as destiny shards, far from reaching the level of true origin source.

However, with a sufficient number of humans, they still constituted a part of the world’s origin source.Emerging from n0v@lbin☆, this material harbors clandestine details.

With this understanding, Tianji became even more obsessed. To become the strongest Emperor, he pushed the Great Dao to its extreme, eventually mastering the Ultimate Dao.

Later, under the recommendation of Elder San Shou, he became a direct disciple of Emperor Dongyan, dedicating himself to cultivation solely for the sake of achieving the Ultimate Dao.

The Ultimate Emperor!

Since ancient times, only one person had succeeded in this endeavor. But Tianji paid no heed to such constraints; he was determined to achieve it even if no one else had.

Dongyan saw his disciple’s determination and understood that Wuliang Buddha had played a trick. However, the scars in his disciple’s heart could only be healed by himself; no one else could help him.

With lingering wounds in his heart and an incomplete state of mind, mastering the Ultimate Dao, especially the Dao merging, was exceptionally difficult. Among the billions of cultivators, only a single person could possibly succeed.

Even though Tianji possessed extraordinary talent that amazed the world, in the end, he too failed to achieve Dao unity. He fell before Emperor Dongyan.

Before attempting to merge the Dao, he had visited the Valley of Rebirth, which remained unchanged. Under his protection, the valley appeared just as it did 10,000 years ago, with Red Girl’s tombstone standing in its place, untouched by time.

He still wore his Daoist robe, albeit with a few more traces of wind and frost.

Looking at the tombstone, Dongyan had once advised him to forget!

But he didn’t know how to forget, nor did he dare to!

This was the driving force behind his desperate cultivation. If he forgot, he might as well have stayed honestly in the Daoist temple, growing old in solitude.

On the day before he merged with the Dao, he made a promise when he left this canyon!

“l won’t let you wait too long. If you can’t find me, I will come down to find

His confidence in merging with the Dao was never high. His eventual demise was not unexpected. However, when he fell, there was a smile on his face, and a tear lingered in the corner of his eye as he looked up at the sky. “You found me after all.’

Memories flooded back!

Scenes flashed before his eyes, and the Tianji smiled faintly, as if from ancient times, willingly embracing death, erasing everything.

Other Dao Lords also approached. On Dao Lord Xue Yue’s mountain, a crimson hue swirled around, signifying the countless strong individuals who had perished at his hands. Many Grand Yan Immortals had begun to retreat. Now, only the top-level Grand Yan Immortals and some half-step Dao Lords remained.

“It’s truly spectacular, so many strong individuals!” Jian Wushuang marveled from his hiding spot in the crowd, having just arrived not long ago.

When he emerged from seclusion, he was surprised. Why, after a year had passed, had his ranking not changed at all? Many other strong individuals’ rankings remained unchanged too. He thought they had all become more docile, avoiding conflicts.

Who would have thought they would all gather here to witness Hu Qing, this young man, accepting the inheritance?

It was strange that these people could hold back for a whole year without taking action.

Even if they did want to act, they had to leave the Feather Transformation Continent. Those were the rules set by the Dao Lords.

Now the continent was nearly empty; only here did tens of thousands of Grand Yan Immortals gather. All other Grand Yan Immortals had left the continent.

Now, the protagonist on this continent was Hu Qing. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he became the first Grand Yan Immortal to accept the inheritance of the Qishen Temple.

In front of everyone, he accepted the treasure of the inheritance.

A silver-colored staff!

Named ‘Samsara’.

Hu Qing glanced at the crowd and was somewhat surprised when he saw those Dao Lords.

His strength had undergone a qualitative change, Although he hadn’t reached the Perfected Nine Revolutions, his Ultimate Dao had reached the seventh level.

This was the peak of his past life but not the endpoint of this life.

Looking at everyone, he just nodded.

Five Dao Lords, dozens of half-step Dao Lords, top-level Grand Yan Immortals, and thousands of peak-level Grand Yan Immortals on the periphery.

This formation indicated that there would likely be a great battle today.

“To make the Qishen Temple voluntarily bestow the inheritance, you must be strong. But I’m not convinced!” spoke the second-ranked PO Jun. His true strength also ranked in the top 3, but he was not a Prince within a major power. His title as a Dao Lord was only in the Original Planet.

Hu Qing smiled faintly, the staff slanted. It was self-evident; if they wanted to fight, then they would fight.

“Haha, good!” Dao Lord Wan Xing applauded. “Monk, we won’t make it difficult for you. If you can defeat each of us one by one, you can leave!” As Dao Lord Wan Xing spoke, the onlookers gasped in shock.

The five Dao Lords were actually planning a round-robin battle. Moreover, from Dao Lord Wan Xings tone, if Hu Qing couldn’t defeat each of them, he probably wouldn’t leave here today.

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows. He had come here with the intention of saving Hu Qing. Although Hu Qing had many secrets, he didn’t want to get involved.

Nevertheless, it was a matter of life-and-death friendship. If he could help him on the Original Planet, he would do it. After all, there were no Emperors here anyway..
