A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 683 The Qilin that Follows the Path

After finishing dealing with the royal corpse, the Qilin Emperor immediately returned to Shencan Ridge.

Immediately afterwards, he retrieved a unit of the Great Universe Origin from the Qilin Cliff outside the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. With the help of the God Emperor's Daoist temple, he integrated it into the core of the Big Dipper Ancient Star. In a "slow release" manner, he continuously released a dense amount of creation, thereby once again attracting the attention of the Great Universe's will and issuing a communication request.

This time, the will of the universe reacted rather "mildly," not manifesting a terrifying eye of lightning as its own symbolic manifestation. It merely sent him a message through the [Spirit Realm], inquiring about his situation.

Without hesitation, a wisp of the Qilin Emperor's consciousness within the [Spirit Realm] immediately spoke, "I need a Daoist temple, located adjacent to the Divine Silkworm Ridge, modeled after the Divine Silkworm Ridge, and named 'Qilin Cave'."

The Will of the Universe: [Unable to border; the area surrounding Divine Silkworm Ridge does not meet the corresponding requirements.]
Seeing the reply from the Great Universe, the Qilin Emperor remained expressionless, but sighed inwardly.

He once again reached into the Qilin Cliff and retrieved a piece of blessed energy carrying a faint imperial light. He then integrated it into the depths of the earth, using some of the mysteries of the "Qilin Treasure Technique" as a guide. This catalyzed the formation of several earth veins, causing them to transform and creating a divine land.

In this process, only a tiny, insignificant amount of blessings were spent. The vast majority of the remaining blessings and virtues were dispersed into the entire Big Dipper Star Region along a unique trajectory, and then spread from this core to the Primordial Star Region, the Ziwei Star Region, and hundreds of millions of other life-bearing star regions.

In an instant, the vital energy flowing within the starry sky was elevated to a higher level, the quietly generated cosmic disaster was silently eliminated, and most of the dark, decadent, evil, and filthy auras and mysteries were purified.

Within the Spirit Realm, the Qilin Emperor suppressed his heartache and asked again, "May I ask, is it alright now?"

The consciousness of the great universe remained silent for several breaths. A wisp of light fell from its origin, transforming into a hazy Dao principle that covered the newly formed divine soil surrounding the Divine Silkworm Ridge, imbuing it with a wisp of the ultimate Dao law belonging to the Qilin Emperor, and condensing the corresponding authority for him.

According to the Qilin Emperor's idea, a mysterious token depicting the auspicious Qilin beast and the Qilin staff was manifested, emerging from the [Spirit Realm], falling into the cosmic starry sky, and being delivered to the palm of this great Qilin, allowing him to hold the corresponding essence.

The Will of the Universe: [Anything else you require?]
Suppressing a pang of heartache, the Qilin Emperor forced a smile and said, "Thank you, this is enough."

Over the years, the will of the universe has become easier to communicate with. As long as there is enough profound merit, the origin of the universe, or immortal resources with imperial light, it can exert sufficient "subjective initiative." However, the price it demands is becoming increasingly exorbitant.

Silently, the will of the universe dissipated.

The Qilin Emperor quickly arrived at his newly acquired Daoist temple and entered the central location where the earth veins converged. Using his authority, he manipulated the immortal laws hidden beneath the cosmic starry sky, listing various divine patterns and nurturing the entire divine land with the Qilin's divine charm.

Looking at this verdant place, bathed in starlight and radiating a gentle, divine aura, the Qilin Emperor waved his hand, sending out two sleeping little Qilins from the Immortal Source. With a slight sigh, he placed them in the Divine Soil, allowing the divine soil to nurture them with its abundant blessings.

"Originally, I wanted to raise you all and watch you gradually attain the Immortal King Dao Fruit, but unfortunately, Heaven has not granted Qilin's wish, and calamity will befall you in the future."

"Over the years, I have become a Celestial King Dao Fruit that emits a faint imperial light. This has also triggered my own spiritual senses to issue a faint warning, as if boundless darkness is about to arrive. I have no choice but to do this."

"When the unknown great changes arrive, among all the heavens and myriad realms, only the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are the safest. Within this great universe, apart from the ancient primordial star, the ancient Big Dipper star is the most stable."

Originally, this Qilin Emperor wanted to set up his Daoist temple near Mount Funiu on the ancient star of the Primordial World, where Laozi sat in meditation on the mountain peak all year round, making it the most suitable place.

But who knew that there was an unknown emperor there, and the aura of that quasi-immortal emperor's technique was still so terrifying when recalled now.

Therefore, the only option is to take another step back and establish one's own dojo on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, where it borders the Divine Silkworm Ridge.

With the care of the God Emperor, a fellow Daoist who may one day reach the End of the Road and attain the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Emperor, even if he himself were to perish in a great calamity in the future, the little ones would surely be able to grow up smoothly.

After another half-breath of silence, the Qilin Emperor took out the Nine Directions Immortal Gold, integrated it into the Qilin Staff, and inscribed the essence of his Immortal King Dao Fruit belonging to the "Qilin Treasure Technique" into it, activating the corresponding Immortal Gold's profound meaning, causing it to silently leap to the level of an ordinary Immortal King artifact.

The Qilin Emperor placed the Qilin Staff, a Celestial King-level artifact, in front of the two sleeping little Qilins, a slight smile returning to his face as he gave instructions to the deity within the Celestial King artifact.

“Protect them well. If you encounter any difficulties and are unable to resist, go to Divine Silkworm Ridge. Fellow Daoist Divine Emperor will protect you once out of respect for me.”

"As for the legacy I leave behind, if they are unwilling, so be it; there is no need to force them."

A phantom of a Qilin, radiating celestial light, was projected from within the Qilin Staff. This was the deity of the Celestial King's weapon. It looked at its master with a hint of reluctance in its eyes and nodded gently.

Looking at his arrangements, the Qilin Emperor felt a little calmer. He had done all he could; now he could only leave it to fate.

The Qilin Emperor turned around and took a small step, directly piercing through time and space and entering the mythical battlefield.

Standing on this battlefield where the stench of blood had not yet dissipated, he gently pointed to his brow, connecting the Heavenly Heart Mark within his Sendai with the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven." Then, with the help of a wisp of the Great Universe Origin he controlled, he linked the myriad paths of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, listing out countless different three-dimensional runes.

In an instant, ten different layers of emanation fell from his body, and a streak of immortal light rose into the sky. The incomparably dazzling immortal light illuminated the boundless starry sky, shaking all the human beings. It also caused the immortal kings who remained here to turn their gazes to this place.

A supreme emperor who had transformed into a life-giving stone embryo, with his primordial spirit entering his fourth incarnation, stepped out of his body and stared blankly in the direction of the mythical battlefield. "Who is this emperor who has ascended to immortality in the mortal world amidst the cosmic starry sky?!"

An emperor who was well-versed in divination silently deduced the matter and exclaimed in astonishment, "The one who ascended to immortality from the mortal realm is the Qilin Emperor who merged with the will of Heaven just a day ago? Why would he do it so quickly? This is completely illogical!"

On Ziwei Star, Jiang Chen also looked at the Mythical Battlefield with some surprise. "So, Fellow Daoist Qi Jing's main goal in 'reincarnating' with an avatar and obtaining the Heavenly Heart Mark was not to crave that ethereal and elusive supreme fortune, but rather the numerous Great Dao Laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths within the Heavenly Heart."

He activated the Ziwei Doushu (a Chinese astrological system), pondered it for a moment, and his eyes widened in astonishment. "Using the Qilin Treasure Technique as the foundation for transformation, and with the Heavenly Heart Mark manifesting the laws of the Immortal Realm as an aid, he shed ten layers of fading away in a short instant, lived ten lifetimes in reverse, and thus ascended to immortality in the mortal world. He truly deserves to be called the Emperor Light Immortal King, who was born with imperial light and saw the path from King to Emperor."

"Next, Fellow Daoist Qi Jing will..."

Jiang Chen, who had been calculating continuously, stopped abruptly. His hand trembled slightly, and his eyes, fixed on the Mythical Battlefield, widened in shock. "Breaking through to become an Emperor?!"

A more dazzling and magnificent celestial light rose from within the mythical battlefield, accompanied by a severed Heavenly Heart Mark.

A phantom dome was gradually solidifying, manifesting three feet above the Qilin Emperor, depicting a vast world that seemed real, carrying a trace of the true meaning of transcending the vast universe, breaking free from endless fate and cause and effect, and stepping into the pure other shore.

The newly born celestial light of the mortal world has been sublimated once again. With the blessing of this otherworldly heaven, it has stepped out of the shackles of the True Immortal realm and is rushing toward the domain of the supreme giant.

Savoring the lingering sorrow in their hearts, and watching the celestial light shimmering from the mythical battlefield, the human beings in the universe and starry sky were completely lost in thought, their divine senses trembling, making it difficult to maintain their composure.

Finally, after a moment of silence, a certain "reincarnated" supreme emperor sighed in a low voice, "To be in power for only one day is a record-breaking achievement. He basically treats the Heavenly Heart Mark as a disposable tool, using it and then discarding it without the slightest hesitation."

"The next fellow Daoist from the mortal realms to take over will have a dark look on his face."

The newly ascended Emperor Light Immortal King, standing beside this "reincarnated" supreme emperor, shook his head, saying, "The next fellow Daoist to take over the mortal realms will not have a dark complexion."

The newly ascended Emperor Light Immortal King's avatar looked at the Purple Star Ancient Star and said in a teasing tone, "After all, this fellow Daoist has already calculated that Fellow Daoist Qi Jing is about to break through from King to Emperor. No one would put on a black face in front of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor who has just broken through."

"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Qi Jing's situation is quite special; he has been working in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for a long time."

"As everyone knows, a shrewd 'boss' would not sign two 'employment contracts' with his employees. If Qi Jingdaoyou really stayed in this position for a long time, he would be at a disadvantage. It is only natural that he got rid of this position in a short period of time."

If you finally manage to create a clone, wouldn't it be a waste of time and effort to use it for hard work?

After all, the real person is already stuck in the "quagmire" and can't get out.

Before long, the Dao essence of the Immortal King resonated, and an Immortal King technique based on the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" soared into the sky, completely stabilizing the Qilin Emperor's cultivation at the level of an unparalleled giant. This caused the Immortal King formations on the Mythical Battlefield to spontaneously revive, unleashing their full power to restrain the terrifying Immortal King aura that was surging out.

At the same time, a wisp of Immortal King's creation fell into the origin of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, adding a supreme giant-level Immortal King Law to this already terrifying universe, increasing the thickness of the universe's origin.

After a few seconds of meditation, the Qilin Emperor had complete control over all the changes within his body and actively suppressed all his own energy.

He looked towards the direction of Qilin Cliff, reached out and swept across the boundless space-time, pulled out 10,000 units of the Great Universe Origin, and threw them all into the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" located three feet above, and pulled this high heaven towards his own human body secret realm universe.

"boom!"

A terrifying Dao sound reverberated, countless laws were boiling, and a wisp of lofty aura continuously gathered from the long river of time, from the distant past, and from the illusory future, descending upon the Qilin Emperor.

At this moment, he seemed to see an emperor's figure, surrounded by primordial energy, standing at the end of the Dao, symbolizing the foundation of the vast universe, the endless starry sky, and the boundless heavens.

Every trace of "Tao" and "Law" is explaining the mysteries of this world to itself, sharing with it the lofty and boundless rules and logic.

As the Qilin Emperor focused his mind, one after another, dark yellow platforms seemed to appear beneath his feet, bridging the terrifying gap between the Immortal King realm and the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, guiding him forward and leading him to climb to higher places.

The Qilin Emperor murmured softly, his eyes filled with shock, "So this is how smooth the path is, without the slightest obstacle!"

But soon he realized, looking at the dark yellow steps under his feet, he shook his head slightly, "No, it's not that there are no obstacles at all, but that I filled them all with the origin of the universe of ten thousand universes, and then the light of the Immortal Emperor shone at the end of the road, so that the road ahead was no longer dark."

"This is the real reason why there will be no obstacles or difficulties in advancing to Quasi-Immortal Emperor through the 'Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven'."

"The Celestial Venerable Xuanhuang is a man of great talent!"

Before reaching this point, the Qilin Emperor truly hadn't expected that this "path" would be so clear and transparent.

Xuanhuang Tianzun completely paved the way for those who might fail, be in danger, or make mistakes, thus creating an unparalleled path for future generations. This allowed a being in the King Realm who had no chance of breaking through to become an Emperor to ascend directly to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm when the primordial energy of the universe was abundant.

What incredible comprehension!
The Qilin Emperor felt that such an astonishing path of cultivation, so friendly to cultivators lacking in natural talent, might only have appeared once in history.

With a certain expectation in his heart, he slowly walked up the Xuanhuang steps, carefully experiencing the transformation of his own life essence with each step forward, thereby perfecting the path of his "Dao Seed Method" to break through the king and become an emperor.

"It's so perfect, it seems flawless. Even if I were the one walking, I could still experience this profound mystery that comes from the origin, from the inside out, from illusion to reality, from transcending the long river of time, and stepping into the pure other shore."

Looking at the "shore" in front of him, the Qilin Emperor reluctantly stepped onto it, ending this extremely tedious advancement process.

In the next instant, the "Sixth Secret Realm - Xuanhuang Outer Heaven" directly merged into the human body's secret realm universe, transforming into a phantom and lofty "Supreme True Realm", projecting countless heavens and earths like dream bubbles, forming an alternative "Myriad Realms".

The light of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor bloomed on the mythical battlefield, bringing forth a supreme level of restoration that spread throughout the nine heavens and ten earths.

Today, a Celestial King ascended this path, broke through the King realm to become an Emperor, and attained the Dao Fruit of a Quasi-Celestial Emperor.
