Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

"If that's the case, I'm afraid only a few people would have such a motive. What wouldn't we cultivators do to prove our Dao? They've been stuck in this realm for countless years, and I'm afraid they've already reached their limit," Yuan Heng mocked.

At this moment, Yuan Heng turned his gaze to Ying Zheng, his eyes filled with inquiry: "Then, fellow Daoist, you have come to find me not just to say these things, have you?"

Ying Zheng nodded decisively: "Indeed. The reason I've come to visit you is to invite you to join our alliance and fight against the mastermind behind it all. If you were to face them alone, you would be powerless to resist and would be stripped of your Dao. I think you wouldn't want your Dao, which you've painstakingly cultivated for countless years, to become someone else's stepping stone!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Heng's expression immediately turned serious.

Since the other side is confident in reopening the primordial world, they must have the strength to suppress them.

The brilliant Dao Fruit nurtured by one's own Great Dao is far superior to the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Era.

The current prosperity of all the heavens and myriad realms is tens of thousands of times greater than that of the primordial era at its peak.

There were also more than ten powerful figures at the Hunyuan Wuji Daozu realm.

If the other party succeeds, that's fine; we'll accompany them as they transcend.

Perhaps the Great Dao can be restored, but it will result in a temporary weakening.

If the opponent fails, their own path will be seized by them.

They had to find another way, which was incredibly difficult.

When the primordial world was shattered, the former Six Sages of the Primordial World were only equivalent to the Primordial Dao Masters, and they abandoned their own Great Dao.

This will sever the karmic ties with the Primordial World and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, thus fulfilling Dao Ancestor Hongjun's wishes.

At that time, the Great Luo Celestial Venerables were basically all taken away by Hongjun Laozu.

Therefore, at the beginning of the primordial chaos, all the heavens and myriad realms fell into silence, and it took nearly an entire epoch to recover.

The power structure has been completely reshuffled, countless powerful figures have had their karma forcibly settled, and the number of fallen experts is innumerable.

If one's own path is severed, it would be troublesome if enemies came knocking. Perhaps forming an alliance with Ying Zheng would be a good option.

Thinking of this, Yuan Heng solemnly asked, "I wonder how many people are currently in your alliance?"

Ying Zheng looked at Yuan Heng with a slightly embarrassed expression: "I saw that you were interested in joining, so I told you the truth. The alliance has just been established, and apart from the Origin Ancestor, there are only me and Nuwa. We are currently recruiting Daoists who have no suspicion of involvement. You and Kong Xuan, the Five Elements Dao Ancestor, are both targets."

Yuan Heng was somewhat disappointed with the alliance's current strength. This meager power was insufficient to protect him.

Then Yuan Heng solemnly asked, "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, you've been investigating for so long, you must have some suspects, right?"

Ying Zheng remained silent for a moment, but seeing Yuan Heng's expectant gaze, he spoke cautiously: "We suspect it is the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, and the Ancestor Yang Mei, or even that the three of them are acting together!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Heng's expression immediately turned serious, and then he smiled bitterly: "Indeed, only those three are the most likely. Very well, I will join you."

After Yuan Heng agreed, Ying Zheng immediately laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, joining us is certainly a wise move! How about we go with you to the Five Elements Dao Ancestor Kong Xuan?"

Yuan Heng did not object to Ying Zheng's invitation.

Because he forcibly sought enlightenment back then, his Great Dao became incomplete. Over the years, he has been repairing his own Great Dao and has not communicated with other powerful figures.

Now that a crisis is looming, it would be more beneficial than harmful for him to make friends with these fellow Daoists.

After Yuan Heng made arrangements for everything in the Shangcang Great World, he went with Ying Zheng to the Phoenix Great World.

Birds with phoenix lineage inhabit this place. This is, of course, due to Kong Xuan's enlightenment.

Originally a vassal of the Phoenix Clan, the Peacock Clan was directly elevated to the main lineage and placed on par with the Phoenix Clan.

This is because Kong Xuan's mother, Pan Feng, was the ancestor of the Phoenix clan; otherwise, the Phoenix would have to respect the Peacock.

As Ying Zheng and Yuan Heng arrived, Kong Xuan, who was comprehending the myriad paths and deducing the Five Elements Great Dao within the Phoenix Great World, slightly opened her phoenix eyes, revealing five-colored pupils, and her stunning face showed surprise: "Why did the two of them come together?"

Immediately, five-colored light swept through Kong Xuan's body, instantly bringing Ying Zheng and Yuan Heng to his secluded cultivation location.

Before him, Kong Xuan'an sat on a stone bench, raising his cup in invitation: "Fellow Daoists, please!"

Ying Zheng and Yuan Heng did not stand on ceremony, and picked up the teacups that emitted five-colored Daoist charm and drank them all in one gulp!

The Daoist principles of the Five Elements lingered in their hearts, greatly benefiting them: "Fellow Daoist, this tea has a unique flavor!"

Kong Xuan smiled with a deep gaze, "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng and Fellow Daoist Yuan Heng have come here for more than just tea, haven't they?"

Ying Zheng put down his teacup, laid out the whole story, and waited for Kong Xuan's decision.

At this moment, Kong Xuan's expression was extremely solemn. He looked at Yuan Heng, and when their eyes met, Kong Xuan knew that Yuan Heng had joined the alliance.

For Kong Xuan, joining the alliance was the best choice, both in public and private matters.

Moreover, he still owed Ying Zheng a favor, making it even harder for him to refuse: "Since you have made it so clear, if I don't join, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"

After Kong Xuan agreed, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up with joy. An alliance composed of five Primordial Limitless Dao Ancestors would make even those who wanted to take action think twice.

"In that case, I would like to invite you two fellow Daoists to accompany me to the Origin Ancestor's place to leave your mark and discuss subsequent matters," Ying Zheng said, extending an invitation.

Kong Xuan and Yuan Heng did not object. They wanted to meet the recently renowned Yuan Zu.

The two followed Ying Zheng to the territory of the Origin Ancestor. There, the petite figure of the Origin Ancestor appeared, looking at the three of them and saying, "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, your actions are swift. Welcome Fellow Daoist Yuan Heng and Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan to the new realm!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Kong Xuan and Yuan Heng left their mark at the core, hidden among the myriad paths and concealed by the Origin Ancestor, so that they would be virtually undetectable by anyone!

They are now waiting for the person behind the scenes to make a move and catch them like a turtle in a jar.

After discussion, Ying Zheng, Yuan Heng, and Kong Xuan decided to remain calm and wait for the right moment. No further action was needed; the task of recruiting would be left to Yuan Zu.

At the same time, it is also necessary to examine the Three Pure Ones, Donghuang Taiyi, the Demon Emperor Jun, and others.

As for Ying Zheng, after parting ways with Yuan Zu and the others, he headed straight for the Great Dao Treasury. Jiang Tian and Li Si, who were comprehending the Dao, were immediately awakened.

They sensed the presence of the Primordial Dao and offered no resistance. In a dizzying moment, they saw Ying Zheng immediately offer his congratulations: "Congratulations, Master, on attaining enlightenment!"

Jiang Tian and Li Si were also filled with joy. With a Dao-proving master as their teacher, they could roam freely in this endless chaotic sea in the future.

The Great Dao that Ying Zheng observed regarding the rivers and the sky, though still immature after these years of refinement, is vastly different from what it once was.

Moreover, he has already reached the Great Luo realm over the years, but he is not in a hurry to achieve success in order to solidify his foundation.

As for Li Si, his understanding of the path to imperial power and dominance was also quite profound.

It is estimated that he will soon be able to achieve the status of the Primordial Dao Master through this path.

Thinking of the difficulties ahead, Ying Zheng felt a headache coming on. He asked Li Si, "My disciple, are you truly determined to take this path?"

Li Si answered without hesitation, "Yes, Master. This disciple has chosen this path, and feels as if it were tailor-made for me!" Seeing Li Si's bold words, Ying Zheng felt a headache coming on. He had previously admired him somewhat, but this stubborn attitude showed he wouldn't give up until he hit a brick wall.

"You should know that the path to becoming an emperor is ruthless. Your master can indeed provide you with a lot of assistance, and may even be able to open up a great world for you to rule, as the foundation for proving the Dao of Hunyuan."

Upon hearing this, Li Si's eyes lit up with joy, and he glanced at his second senior brother Jiang Tian, ​​signaling that their master still cared for him.

But the next moment, Ying Zheng's words plunged him into despair.

"But if you wish to continue forward, I am powerless to help you. To achieve the Primordial Chaos, you need to rule the endless Chaos Sea. Do you think the other Primordial Chaos Ancestors would give me that favor?" Ying Zheng asked Li Si in return.

Upon hearing about the conditions for attaining enlightenment, even Jiang Tian was astonished.

He looked at his third junior brother, Li Si, with surprise and admiration.

Choosing such a difficult path makes it almost hopeless to truly attain enlightenment.

Those Primordial Dao Ancestors were all no less than Master, so how could they possibly give him this face?

The benefits of the entire Endless Chaos Sea are limited, and every Dao-proving being in this world must get a share.

This requires other enlightened ones to relinquish their benefits. Once they've already swallowed it, how easy is it to get them to spit it out?

Ying Zheng was able to attain enlightenment without anyone interfering, entirely because of the power and influence of Nuwa and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun.

Otherwise, let someone with no background try; Yuan Heng's situation would be the most normal.

Despite the blow to Ying Zheng, Li Si was still unwilling to give up: "But Master, this disciple is extremely compatible with this path, is there another way?"

Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly: "There is no other way. Moreover, with the impending upheaval, they will not allow you to embark on this path. Because if you follow this path to its ultimate end, you may even become the master of humanity!"

"You have cultivated for quite some time, and you should understand the meaning of becoming the Lord of Humanity. This is a path that even my sister, Nuwa, dares not tread. How could a mere brat like you possibly succeed? It means making enemies of all those who have attained the Dao, and even your master will not be able to save you then!"

The successive setbacks left this once spirited young man dejected. He had cultivated for quite some time and naturally understood the meaning of the special path of humanity.

Of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, the paths of Heaven and Earth each have a master, while the path of Humanity is the most unique, encompassing all things—all living beings belong to the path of Humanity!
Even those who have attained enlightenment are no exception; would they want a sovereign standing above them?

Seeing Li Si so dejected, Ying Zheng comforted him, "My disciple, after you achieve the Primordial Chaos through the domineering path of the Emperor, you should delve into the myriad paths of the heavens and forge your own path. Alternatively, you can temporarily refrain from becoming the Primordial Chaos Dao Master and instead focus on condensing your own Dao path at the Great Luo stage, just like your senior brother."

Li Si reluctantly accepted the choice given to him by Ying Zheng.

After dismissing Li Si, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to his second disciple, Jiang Tian. This young man was the most unconventional and had the best chance of attaining enlightenment among his three disciples; Ying Zheng placed high hopes on him.

"Jiang Tian, ​​your foundation for the Great Dao is almost solid. It's time for you to go out and gain experience. Every Dao-proving person has to fight for it. A major upheaval is imminent, and I need your strength. If you cannot prove your Dao, you will vanish like an ant in the face of this upheaval, and even I will not be able to protect you!" Ying Zheng said solemnly.

Jiang Tian's eyes showed astonishment. What kind of unexpected turn of events could make even his master, a Dao Proverb, say that he couldn't protect him?

"Master, what kind of change has occurred that is so terrifying?" Jiang Tian asked in astonishment.

Ying Zheng didn't explain further: "You only need to clarify your current goal. You will understand these things after you attain enlightenment. Go! Leave this place and strive for liberation. I have given you all the resources you need; now it's up to you!"

Ying Zheng's expectant tone caused Jiang Tian to lose his usual carefree demeanor. He said solemnly, "Master, your disciple will never let you down!"

After receiving the generous gift package from Ying Zheng, he left the Great Dao Secret Treasury.

Jiang Tian stood in the endless chaotic sea, his gaze slightly bewildered: "A change is coming. Only by attaining enlightenment can I help my master, only by attaining enlightenment can I protect myself, and only by attaining enlightenment can I protect what I want to protect. But how should I proceed? Never mind, I'll go back to my hometown first."

After saying this, Jiang Tian walked towards the world where he was born.

At this moment, Ying Zheng also headed towards the Fire Cloud Great World. Back then, he sought to break free from the constraints of the Emperor's throne.

He passed it on to his eldest disciple. Now that he has attained enlightenment, he and Nuwa possess the power to control the Heavenly Emperor's position. Therefore, he now wishes to help his eldest disciple break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Emperor's position.

Upon arriving at the Fire Cloud Great World, Ying Zheng looked towards the Fire Cloud Cave, which remained unchanged for eternity, just as it had always been.

Ying Zheng's figure appeared silently at the Heavenly Emperor's Dojo in Huoyun Cave.

When his figure appeared, the unusual nature of his appearance made Emperor Li Yiheng wary.

He opened his eyes and saw that familiar figure smiling and greeting him. Li Yiheng exclaimed in surprise, "Master!"

Ying Zheng sensed Li Yiheng's current state—apart from the Emperor's position and the Dao fruit of the Hunyuan Bagua.

He is still comprehending the myriad paths of the heavens and has even mastered many laws, seeking to forge his own path.

It seems he has quite aspirations. Ying Zheng felt both gratified and guilty about this.

"My disciple, now that I have attained enlightenment, I can decide who will inherit the throne. You are no longer bound by the throne. I am giving you a choice now—strip yourself of the throne and the Primordial Eight Trigrams Dao Fruit, and continue on the Great Dao!" Ying Zheng said with a hint of apology.

Li Yiheng hesitated upon hearing this. He did not feel bound by the Emperor's position, as his current strength had not yet reached the limits of the Emperor's position.

Therefore, he finds it difficult to give up his current life of cultivation. He feels that his current cultivation environment is not only unrestrained, but also quite pleasant.

Leaving aside his high position and great power, the power bestowed by the Emperor's title alone is no less than that of a senior Primordial Dao Lord.

Furthermore, due to his position as Emperor, he is able to connect with humanity. Although he cannot yet fully comprehend the vastness of humanity.

He also dared not easily touch those great principles that are subordinate to humanity.

After all, those were the work of many Primordial Dao Lords and even Primordial Limitless Dao Ancestors.

How could he dare to usurp the power? Therefore, since ascending to the throne of the Human Emperor, he has been studying the many laws governing humanity.

It could take tens of thousands to millions of years to fully comprehend a single law. This was simply unimaginable for Li Yiheng in the past.

Since becoming Emperor, Li Yiheng has comprehended nearly a hundred laws.

Moreover, Li Yiheng harbors ambitions to combine these laws and forge his own path.

At that time, like other Primordial Dao Lords, they will be attached to the human path and their growth will be aided by the power of the human path.

Seeing Li Yiheng's confused look, Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly: "Foolish child, why don't you wake up? You have been too deeply influenced by the doctrines of humanity and the throne!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, the purple-clad figure beside him shone with dazzling light.

Immediately, the twenty-eight-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus manifested, and this exquisite lotus platform floated above Li Yiheng's head.

Above the twenty-eight primordial purple lotus, one can vaguely see the causal thread connecting the Heavenly Emperor's position and the human realm to him.

Under the influence of the twenty-eight tiers of the Primordial Purple Lotus on the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, these threads of cause and effect were temporarily severed.

This awakened Li Yiheng from the influence of humanity and the emperor's throne.

At this moment, Li Yiheng's expression changed slightly, and he broke out in a cold sweat: "Thank you for saving me, Master!" (End of this chapter)
