A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 643 The Holy Emperor of Taiyin: Home Feels a Little Strange
At the forefront of the long river of time, in the middle of the border sea.

The Taiyin Saint Emperor, who had already formed a grand immortal formation with a group of true immortal warriors and was preparing to enter a dangerous place, suddenly paused in surprise.

Within his microcosm, above the deepest sea of ​​suffering, the divine talisman, nurtured by the life spring permeated with the radiance of the moon, regained its original form.

Quite suddenly, this [Divine Talisman: Rank 4 - Star Lord - Taiyin] autonomously reflected a perfect and flawless divine intent, extending downwards from the laws of immortality according to his understanding, and covering the realm of humanity.

Threads of insights related to the Emperor's Light began to echo in his mind. Although incomplete, the immortal laws and human laws derived from the [Divine Talisman: Fourth Grade - Star Lord - Taiyin] were vastly different from the laws of the myriad worlds in the present day, making them difficult to use, yet they were real and true, dispelling all the fog before the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

At the same time, the name of the "Ordination Method" and the honorific name of [Supreme Central Primordial Spirit Elder Yellow Emperor] also echoed from the depths of the soul, flashing before the true spirit, manifesting a hazy imperial figure that held the "Earth Element" of heaven and earth, occupied the "center" of all things, and was incomparably majestic and eternally ancient.

"crash"

The sound of the river of time echoed in my ears, and strands of cause and effect of time transformed into divine chains, slowly winding upwards with indescribable immense power, blurring that imperial figure, sealing that [Divine Talisman: Fourth Grade - Star Lord - Taiyin], concealing the corresponding insights after reaching the King Realm, and reducing its power to a level that could not be exerted beyond that of a four-generation emperor.

Like a dream that's hard to distinguish between reality and illusion, the insights I just remembered were so clear, but now, when I try to recall them, they're as hazy as a dream bubble.

The Holy Emperor Taiyin subconsciously wanted to reach out and hold on, to reclaim that transcendent enlightenment, but it was like a handful of quicksand slipping through his fingers, or like a gentle breeze brushing past his palm, leaving only a trace of warmth and gentleness.

In the silence, he inexplicably gained a unique understanding of this unusual phenomenon.
-
cause and effect.

"Taiyin, what's wrong?" A sixth-generation emperor, radiating wisps of starlight from the Broken Army Star, looked at Taiyin Saint Emperor's absent-minded face and said with slight surprise, "Seeing how distracted you are, how about we postpone the exploration plan?"

The seventh emperor, carrying a totem pole and sporting bull horns on his head, looked at the Taiyin Holy Emperor and said in a low voice, "Po Jun is right. If you feel something is amiss, then let's postpone exploring this dangerous place. We're all fine."

Nearly a hundred emperors and immortals who had lived for more than four lifetimes also spoke up, asking about the Taiyin Holy Emperor and showing great concern for his current situation.

In the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Immortal Ancient Era, and even the more ancient eras, the Boundary Sea itself was a place of great danger. Countless True Immortals and Immortal Kings have perished there. Only Immortal King giants were qualified to traverse it. If one wanted to be invincible in the Boundary Sea, one had to be an Emperor Light Immortal King whose body radiated Emperor Light.

Even though the Spirit Realm has emerged in this era, covering the entire universe and separating all the strange and ominous from all living beings, and many Immortal Kings have formed the Council of Kings to restrain beings with King-level combat power in the universe, directly weakening most of the dangers in the Boundary Sea, a single wave surging in the Boundary Sea is still enough to cause the death of an ordinary True Immortal.

These True Immortals and Human Emperors, who lack the combat power of the King Realm, are confident in exploring the Boundary Sea, collecting immortal materials, seeking opportunities, and even returning to the Boundary Sea dike on the other side of Chaos, or heading to the Henghai Domain and other great realms. They rely on the immortal array that allows them to exert the combat power of the King Realm, as well as the relative spacetime coordinates provided by the omnipresent [Spirit Realm] throughout the myriad realms.

If the spacetime coordinates of the Spirit Realm malfunction, even beings at the King Realm level who haven't left a Dao marker in the Great Realm could easily become lost in the boundless Sea of ​​Realms. Furthermore, if the Immortal Dao Formation, capable of constantly unleashing King Realm combat power, malfunctions, unless a being advances to Immortal King in a short period, they will all be buried in the continuous "waves."

Now, the Taiyin Saint Emperor, one of the core array eyes of the Immortal Dao Battle Formation, seems to be experiencing a problem.

There might be a problem with the main force. No True Immortal warrior present dared to ignore it. They had no intention of experiencing the same desperate situation as those True Immortals who ventured deep into the Boundary Sea in ancient times, and instead gambled on the opportunities and fortunes they would have when facing death.

This has nothing to do with anything else; it's simply a matter of risk control and returns when no conflict is involved.

The current era of cultivation is incredibly prosperous and progressive, allowing one to cultivate to their own bottleneck without any risk. Only after gaining sufficient confidence can one actively engage in trials of life and death to break through the limits of one's own talent and abilities.

To be able to escape from this desperate situation would truly be a great stroke of luck, indicating a tremendous increase in talent and ability. One's current cultivation level would either have reached the King Realm or possess combat power comparable to the King Realm at the True Immortal Realm.

However, it would be a bit of a shame if one were to fail and die before one's cultivation and Taoist practice have reached the theoretical pinnacle.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, they are currently in dire straits, and failing to break through to the next level is highly probable.

The Taiyin Holy Emperor regained his senses, but remained silent. The change had occurred somewhat suddenly, and he was unsure how to explain to his fellow Daoists the divine talismans on his life spring that were constantly "adapting" to the current rules of the heavens, and the insights into the laws that were slowly being "translated" from ancient methods to modern ones in his mind.

After a while, the Taiyin Holy Emperor finally spoke to the Human Emperor and the Immortal True Immortal who were all looking at him, saying, "I have had some special insights, which are related to the Immortal Path, the Human Path, and also involve some subtle implications of the King Realm."

The Taiyin Holy Emperor cupped his hands in greeting to the numerous immortal warriors and said with a slight apology, "Everyone, I need to return to the Great Universe for quiet cultivation. This exploration of the Boundary Sea may have to end here."

Many immortal warriors wore expressions of disbelief. The human emperor, who held a totem pole and had bull horns on his forehead, was even more astonished. "Taiyin, didn't you just live out your eighth life not long ago, becoming a near-immortal in the mortal world? You need to spend a long time adjusting before you can live out your ninth life, attain the Immortal Dao Fruit in the mortal world, and possess a realm equivalent to a quasi-immortal king?"

A supreme immortal whose cultivation was approaching that of a quasi-immortal king said with a slightly surprised tone, "That's right, I also remember that Taiyin, you only lived your eighth life not long ago. Judging from the adjustment speed of those celestial beings in the mythological era, it would take at least 100,000 years to ensure that there were no flaws in your own path. It seems that you have lived for less than 50,000 years?"

The Holy Emperor Taiyin nodded, “I have lived for over 40,200 years since my eighth incarnation, which is indeed less than 50,000 years.”

Seeing the affirmation from the Taiyin Holy Emperor, all the True Immortal warriors fell silent.

In less than 50,000 years, the adjustment time taken was less than half the time that the mythical celestial beings who have now attained the status of Immortal Kings needed back then.

That's a bit outrageous.

Is the Heavenly Heart Imprint, this "Immortal King Foundation," really that important?
But that doesn't make sense either. They either have the backing of a Celestial King or the background of a major immortal sect. At the very least, they have gained the fortune of the King Realm level in the Boundary Sea. If we don't count that wisp of Dao Ancestor's luck, the opportunities they currently possess are comparable to those of a "Celestial King".

Or is the gap between them and the Taiyin Holy Emperor really that big?
Suddenly, the expressions of the dozen or so immortal warriors with unparalleled cultivation changed slightly, and a subtle emotion appeared in their eyes as they looked at the Taiyin Holy Emperor.

If I remember correctly, the Taiyin Holy Emperor seems to be the "reincarnation" of the Emperor Light Immortal King from an unknown ancient era. Now, quite suddenly, he has gained insights into the King Realm. Could it be that he is beginning to reclaim the memories of his "past life"?
It doesn't seem impossible that this happened just as we were about to explore a dangerous place in the Boundary Sea, which is somewhat of a coincidence.

The numerous immortal warriors exchanged glances, communicating through the tacit understanding formed over countless years. Finally, Emperor Po Jun spoke, "In that case, let us return to the Great Realm closest to our current spatial coordinates to rest." "The time required to live out our ninth incarnation won't be too long. Waiting for ten thousand years to welcome a Mortal Immortal with quasi-Immortal King power will give us a better chance of success in exploring this dangerous place."

The Taiyin Holy Emperor once again cupped his hands to the assembled immortal warriors, revealing a smile as he said, "Thank you all for your help. There is a reason for this, and it is because of me. I will pay for all the costs of the [Spirit Realm] teleportation."

Immediately afterwards, a wisp of his divine thought connected with the [Spirit Realm], stirring up strands of the Spirit Realm's rules, reflecting them into his current spacetime coordinates and the spacetime coordinates of his destination, and extracting nearly a hundred strands of Xuanhuang merit to merge into it.

In an instant, countless folds of spacetime rose up, and countless voids, gaps, and cosmic rays all folded and overlapped, surrounding the nearly one hundred immortal warriors and condensing into three-dimensional teleportation runes that blurred the area that their vision could reach.

The Holy Emperor Taiyin smiled and said, "Everyone, please wait for good news."

Many immortal warriors looked at the Taiyin Saint Emperor with a hint of expectation in their eyes and slowly nodded.

"boom!"

After a series of spatial and temporal sounds echoed in my ears, all I could see was a pale white expanse, with only wisps of black threads twisting and deforming within my field of vision, outlining the shapes of all things.

As the colors of all things returned, countless laws of humanity re-emerged in perception, and countless brilliant starlight shone from distant galaxies onto the chaotic mist beside him, the place where the Taiyin Holy Emperor was now located was the edge of the universe in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

He said with a touch of melancholy, "No matter how many times I've used the [Spirit Realm] to teleport back, this hazy feeling of all things is still hard to dispel. To see clearly what changes occurred when I used the [Spirit Realm] for teleportation, perhaps only after truly becoming an Immortal King can I understand some of the mysteries within."

"It's time to return to the Taiyin Dynasty's private territory, find a sacred land where I can undergo a transformation, and live out my ninth life, ascending to immortality in the mortal world."

Before the Taiyin Holy Emperor could traverse the void, the wisp of divine thought that remained within the [Spirit Realm] received a notification from the will of the universe.

[Welcome back to the Great Universe, Holy Emperor Taiyin]
Since your cultivation level has reached the fourth generation or above, and you do not possess the Heavenly Heart Mark or bear any cosmic responsibility, please be aware of the following prohibitions:
1. Interference with the development of cosmic and celestial forces is prohibited.

2. It is forbidden to plunder the immortal materials nurtured by the stars in the universe.

3. It is forbidden to use immortal techniques that possess the power of a true immortal.

4. It is forbidden to tamper with the fundamental laws governing the universe and the starry sky.

5. It is forbidden to alter the Royal Realm Array of the cosmic starry sky.

6. It is prohibited to bring any creatures from the outer seas that have not been recognized by the spirit world into the country.

7. It is forbidden to use dangerous items from the Boundary Sea that have not been identified by the [Spirit Realm].

8. It is forbidden to spread any spiritual practice methods that have not been verified by the spirit world.

9. Attempts to break through the internal rules and logic of the [Spirit Realm] are prohibited.

10. Prohibited
10081. It is forbidden to attempt to induce a calamity of the heavens' rules in any area other than the Mythical Battlefield.

Note 1: Violators will be tried by the Council of Kings.
Note 2: Serious offenses will result in immediate divine punishment.

Note 3: The tributaries of the long river of time in the universe have been partially reshaped 10081 times.
Looking at the tens of thousands of prohibited items, the Taiyin Holy Emperor's eyelids twitched repeatedly, and his body, standing on the edge of the universe, became somewhat stiff.

He complained, "Wait, where did these prohibitions come from? Aren't they a bit too outrageous?"

"The first three items seem alright. But the fourth one just doesn't seem right. Altering the laws of the Great Dao? Even ordinary Immortal Kings and giants don't have the ability to alter the laws of humanity in the current universe. Who on earth could have done this?"

The Holy Emperor of Taiyin mobilized information from the [Spirit Realm] and, with a hint of curiosity, conducted a search.

"Uh, this was done by the Celestial Venerable Zhulong. He wanted to try to replace the four symbols of the universe and become a Daoist of the four symbols of the universe, thereby ascending to heaven in one step and becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?"

"The fifth item is the Taiwu Quasi-Immortal King. He wants to try to use all the King-level formations in the Mythical Battlefield to undergo another transformation, attempting to break free from the constraints of the True Immortal realm without breaking through to the King realm, and accumulate a profound foundation?"

"The sixth item is that Wuliang Tianzun, after she promoted her own Zhenyue senior brother, that yellow bear, to the level of Immortal King through bloodline mutation and brought him back to the universe, accidentally caused a bloodline pollution that affected tens of millions of life-bearing star fields?"

"The seventh item is the Eternal Celestial Venerable. He brought back a fragment of a World Sea King Realm artifact with meme-like effects to the cosmic starry sky. During the research process, he accidentally caused the World Sea King Realm artifact to go berserk, leading to the resurgence of the Mythical Corpse Calamity, which affected all living beings in the universe?"

"The eighth one is the Underworld Lord. In an unknown land, he comprehended a new method and then spread it. Those who practice this method all lose their minds, and their bodies and primordial spirits are in a state of constant reincarnation. It has already harmed hundreds, nearly a thousand, ancient life-bearing stars."

"The ninth item, what the hell is this, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana?"

The Holy Emperor Taiyin's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was filled with inexplicable horror.

"Finding no peace, he desires to defy fate, storm the Southern Heaven, shatter the Heavenly Palace, and destroy the Heavenly Emperor's throne?!"

However, after exploring and traveling in the Boundary Sea for about a million years, how come the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have become unrecognizable, and are even more dangerous than the Boundary Sea?!
Home feels a little unfamiliar.
