In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 533 [How can they be the same?]

"I was unconscious for several days?" Ye Fan stared at his tattered clothes and the dog teeth marks on them, his face darkening instantly. He stared intently at Black Emperor, his fists clenching tightly.

This big black dog must have done a lot of outrageous things while it was unconscious, but it just didn't succeed.

"Well, during the three days I was unconscious, it was all Lin Xian's doing."

Black Emperor broke out in a cold sweat and decisively betrayed Lord Lin, then absolved himself of all responsibility. The mastermind was Lin Xian; he was at most just a lackey.

Ye Fan sneered twice. There were probably more than just lackeys. The Black Emperor held a very important position in Tianxuan and even the Heavenly Court. He was definitely a strategist of the highest caliber.

The Holy Fist surged forth, and various divine and demonic runes appeared, transforming into the most terrifying flames in the world, forging the supreme imperial path.

If they can't beat Lord Lin, they can at least deal with the Black Emperor.

"It has nothing to do with me. It was Lin Xian's idea to make you the retired emperor."

Black King hurriedly cried out, fearing he would be beaten.

"The Great Emperor?"

Ye Fan remained calm, as if he had expected this, and said indifferently, "Let them take the position of Emperor if they want it."

The Heavenly Emperor is never elected, but rather earned through real battles and hard-fought victories.

If one cannot be invincible, even if one rashly declares himself emperor, he will eventually be overthrown, shattering the myth of the invincible emperor.

"With me, I am invincible and reign supreme in the world. No matter if you are a prodigy or an emperor's son, or even if an ancient emperor from a young age is resurrected, I will kill all those who stand in my way with a single punch. The path to the emperor has always been forged with bones and blood."

Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, like a celestial emperor descending to earth, exuding an indescribable confidence and a powerful aura.

"Who said you are the Emperor?" The Black Emperor grinned, unable to suppress a chuckle, and then said with a hint of smugness, "It is Xiao Ye who has taken charge of the Tianxuan Holy Land, and you are already the Supreme Holy Lord."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Fan's expression changed drastically, all his previous composure vanished. Then, a thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly realized what was going on. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tianxuan is only a few years old, what kind of Holy Lord is he? It must be that damned Lin Xian who stirred things up!"

"Tsk tsk, didn't you say you didn't care?" The big black dog sneered. That's a quick change of heart.

"How can that be the same!" Ye Fan said indignantly. The so-called Heavenly Emperor and Emperor Venerable were all imposed on him by the world. He had not gained them, so how could he have lost them?

But Tianxuan Holy Land is different; he is truly the Holy Lord of Tianxuan, and he truly has an ox!

"I swear to settle scores with that old scoundrel Lin Xian." Ye Fan rubbed his dizzy head, feeling like he hadn't recovered yet. If it weren't for Lord Lin's lack of martial ethics, he wouldn't have won this round, but he definitely wouldn't have lost either.

"Without the Ascension Cauldron, how can you fight against Saint Master Lin?" The Black Emperor, with his square head, large ears, and big, round eyes, looked suspicious and distrustful of Ye Fan.

No matter how you look at it, Ye Fan is no match for Lin Xian at this stage.

"It's very simple, I'll just achieve great success." Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back and smiled calmly. "What Lord Lin is doing is nothing more than a fox borrowing the tiger's might. Once he encounters a real tiger, the paper tiger will be useless."

“If you achieve mastery, it will take several hundred years.” The Black Emperor shook his head and said seriously, “Even the Great Emperor Wushi took a certain amount of time to achieve mastery; it cannot be accomplished overnight.”

"No." Ye Fan gazed into the deepest part of the starry sky, his eyes profound, and said in a low voice, "In these three days, I had a dream. In the dream, there was an incredibly familiar yet vague will that kept calling me to go to a certain place."

"Sacred Body Ancestral Star!"

"The Ancestral Star of the Holy Body?" The Black Emperor was slightly taken aback, his eyes darting around as he muttered, "That twin star in the fiftieth level, what's there there?"

“That’s the new ancestral star,” Ye Fan said calmly, shaking his head.

The Sacred Body also has an ancient ancestral star, which is opposite to the ancestral star of the Azure Heaven Overlord Body. It is an extremely important node in the universe and was once a link in the Cosmic Flying Immortal Array.

That was the mother planet of the Holy Body Ancestor. Generation after generation of Great Accomplished Holy Bodies emerged from that planet, shining brightly and gloriously.

However, because the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body was too fierce, it offended too many supreme beings. Unlike the Heavenly Tyrant Body, it was not as shrewd, which ultimately led to the explosion of the ancestral star.

Ye Fan strongly suspected that the destruction of the ancestral star was the most important part of the Holy Body's curse.

The Supreme Being resorted to underhanded tactics, attempting to sever the emergence of the Great Accomplished Holy Body from its very source.

"It's that divine sea!" The Black Emperor trembled, suddenly remembering something. The Great Emperor Wushi had once been there to pay homage to the ancient sages and reminisce about the past.

"You do know."

Ye Fan's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his lips, and he rubbed his hands together, ready to interrogate the Black Emperor.

This dog once followed the Great Emperor Wushi. Although it is usually unreliable, it can always be squeezed out of something good if you take advantage of it.

"Woof woof woof, too much time has passed, let me think it over."

Black Emperor let out a series of miserable screams. Without a star map, in the vast universe, even it was easy to get lost.

"You're not deliberately trying to pull any tricks, are you?"

Ye Fan glanced at Black King, knowing very well the dog's character; it was on par with Lin Xian.

"Actually, there's another way." The Black Emperor stuck out his scarlet tongue, put his hands on his hips, and said, "I am proficient in the Boundless Array Patterns and can set up a spacetime array to teleport you..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan left without looking back. He believed that Lin Xian was a good person rather than Hei Huang's mastery of array patterns.

"Woof woof woof! I am a master of formations and an expert in spacetime!"

Black Emperor was furious. What did Ye Fan mean? Did he not trust this dog of an expert?

"Use the first option!" Ye Fan's voice rang out leisurely. He didn't want to fall into the void rift halfway and needed to choose a safe option.

As for the star map, the Divine Organization, as the legacy of the ancient Heavenly Court, has lasted for millions of years and is certainly not lacking. The Sacred Body Ancestral Star occupies an extremely glorious position in ancient history, and such a supreme planet would definitely leave traces.

When Ye Fan visited, Zhou, the God of the Divine Organization, was overjoyed and gave him an extremely warm welcome, which meant that Emperor Ye recognized their Divine Organization.

The merit of following the dragon, the merit of following the dragon!

In an instant, Zhou Zhushen had already foreseen his bright future of breaking through to the Quasi-Emperor realm. He fulfilled all of Ye Fan's requests and also told Ye Fan about the secret passage through which the God Organization controlled the Green Cauldron.

Over the long years, the divine organization acquired one-third of the Green Cauldron, performed sacrifices upon it, and thus gained the authority to use it.

"We previously thought that the Ascension Cauldron would unconditionally obey the Emperor, so we didn't pay attention to this method."

Zhou, the God of the Central God, sighed. He hadn't expected the Green Cauldron God to betray him and collude with the Holy Lord Lin, causing Emperor Ye to fall into misfortune. It was truly unfortunate.

Ye Fan remained calm, assuming that what Zhou, the God of War, said was the truth.

Some things are better left unsaid, even if you see them clearly.

The Divine Organization does not need a true reincarnation of an Emperor, but a prodigy with the potential to become an Emperor.

This organization is so eager for revival that it's capable of anything, including collaborating with Lin Xian.

Having obtained the sacrificial method for the Green Cauldron, Ye Fan regained his invincible confidence. He strode confidently and imposingly, full of killing intent, onto a towering divine peak, ready to clash with Lin Xian once more.

The highest peak of the Heavenly Divine Peak was leveled by the Great Sage's immense power, transforming it into a gigantic platform upon which celestial palaces and divine halls were built. Mist flowed, celestial music filled the air, and singing and dancing filled the air. One celestial maiden after another played their magical instruments, creating a harmonious symphony, as if one had entered a celestial realm. "Continue the music, continue the dance!"

Lord Lin's hearty laughter echoed across the divine peak. He lay lazily on the cloud bed, feeling utterly at ease. He had worked hard for decades, so what was wrong with enjoying himself now?

The sages clapped their hands and laughed, and then struck a row of chime bells, composing the music of the Great Dao.

"Congratulations to Tianxuan! Rejoice for the Holy Lord!"

Many outstanding talents stepped forward to offer their gifts, all of which were rare treasures, such as ancient medicines that had been stored for ten thousand years or dragon horns that had been stored for nine thousand years.

At the head of the table was a beautifully sculpted child, wearing the Tianxuan Holy Crown and a yellow robe. He was the protagonist of this banquet, the newly appointed Tianxuan Holy Lord Ye Tianxuan!

Under the guidance of Fairy Zixia, Ye Tianxuan was well-mannered and had unfathomable cultivation and Taoist skills. At a young age, she was already a sage.

Some elderly saints with white hair couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Good grandson, good grandson, the Tianxuan Holy Land is exceptionally prosperous."

In the midst of this joyous atmosphere, suddenly the Southern Heavenly Gate General Cheng Guan shouted, "The Supreme Holy Lord of Tianxuan, Ye Fan, has arrived!"

In an instant, the scene fell silent, and the smiles on the faces of the saints froze, as if time had been paused.

A young man with flowing black hair and radiant skin ascended the steps. His eyes were like cold lightning, and his white robes were stained with holy blood from the past few days. He was majestic and imposing, with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, as if a celestial emperor had descended to earth.

"Lord Ye!"

"Emperor Ye!"

"King Ye!"

All the saints rose to pay their respects, not one of them being disrespectful. They had all witnessed that battle; Ye Fan's defeat was not due to a lack of skill.

How many sages would dare to use their heads to catch the Emperor's weapon? Even Wushi wouldn't dare; he had to use his hands.

"Father, please take a seat."

Ye Tianxuan quickly stood up, then pulled Ye Fan towards the platform, smiling and saying, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

"Everyone?"

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and saw that the high platform was full of people from the Heavenly Court, all of whom were Tianxuan's confidants. On the left were Xiaosong, Longma, the Holy Prince, Jin Chanzi, and others, while the figure on the right was even more familiar.

"Hua Yunfei, Jiang Yifei, Yao Guangfei..." Ye Fan said softly, but his gaze fell on the petite figure in the middle of the three.

What does "Yao Guang Fei" mean? Yao Guang Shengzi's warm, sun-like smile froze, and he sighed softly, "It's been many years, Brother Ye, you've learned to joke too."

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." Ye Fan smiled calmly and said, "I learned that from Lord Lin."

"Brother Ye, you flatter me." Jiang Yifei smiled and waved, then stood up and made way for him.

"Big brother!" A cute little girl waved excitedly, overjoyed, "I'm so glad to see you again!"

"Little girl." Ye Fan smiled knowingly, his murderous intent vanishing in an instant.

"Nannan hasn't seen her big brother in so long." Three-year-old Nannan blinked her big eyes, looked at Ye Fan, and then looked behind Ye Fan and asked curiously, "Where did the big dog go?"

"Black Emperor, it has something to do, it will come over later." Ye Fan smiled and patted the little girl's head, then handed her the milk cakes and spirit fruits on the table. These were all the sweet treats that children love the most.

"Thank you, big brother." The little girl ate with great relish, waving her utensils and cherishing every piece of food.

It's small in stature and looks like it has a small appetite, but when it starts eating, it seems to have no end, like a black hole that devours a continuous stream of rare and precious foods.

There was meat from a ferocious beast on the table, enough to burst a saint, but in the little girl's mouth, it was no different from ordinary jerky.

"Devouring heaven and earth, an indestructible divine power."

Ye Fan sighed inwardly, then walked past the crowd and headed straight for the highest point.

Looking at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he couldn't help but sneer, "Holy Lord, you've truly accomplished something extraordinary."

"How can we waste such a beautiful time and scenery?" Lin Xian smiled and invited, "Please, Holy Lord Ye, take a seat. Originally, there was nothing, so why should we fight?"

Ye Fan snorted coldly, took a few steps forward, carefully examined Lin Xian, then stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Why has the Holy Lord's cultivation disappeared?"

Lin Xian was originally the Great Sage Equaling Heaven of the Ninth Heaven. Although he was at the Zero Forbidden level, his cultivation and power were genuine, and he could easily defeat a Great Sage.

But now, Lin Xian has no aura at all, just like an ordinary mortal.

"The path to the other shore is one of nine births and nine deaths."

Lin Xian smiled calmly and said, "It's just self-reinvention and rebuilding."

"Oh, really?" Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, secretly channeling his energy into the Green Cauldron, and suddenly took a step forward, then threw a punch, shouting, "Immortal-Slaying Fist!"

It may seem ordinary, but it actually contains the concept of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, aiming to defeat the immortals of the Nine Heavens and drag them down to the mortal realm!

At their level, they can wage war against galaxies and also engage in battles between the smallest particles of dust.

"Suppressing Mortals Finger!"

Lin Xian remained calm and composed, smiled indifferently, and extended a finger containing the power of the Great Dao. Chaotic Qi descended and collided with the Immortal Fist.

With a cracking sound, stars exploded one after another in the starry sky, but the table in front of him remained as still as a mountain, as if a gentle breeze had blown by.

"Didn't the Holy Lord say that he had started over?"

Ye Fan sneered repeatedly, thinking, "As expected, Lord Lin's words are just a lie."

"But the reconstruction failed."

Lin Xian withdrew her finger and sighed, "I've only been practicing for three days, and it's already ruined. I have to start all over again."

"It can jump back and forth repeatedly?!" Ye Fan's lips twitched; he had never seen such a reconstruction before.

"The Wheel Sea Secret Realm is already perfected, why would it need to be rebuilt? It is only the other four secret realms that have been severed." Lin Xian smiled calmly: "But Elder Ye has quite the airs of an official. The Heavenly Pivot Saint Lord Ye Tianxuan is hosting a banquet, does Elder Ye want to cause trouble?"

"A banquet? I wonder who they've invited." Ye Fan looked around and noticed that there were still two empty seats in the first row at the head of the table.

"You have a problem with inviting us?"

Guided by Fairy Zixia, two elderly people approached. Their cultivation levels were not high, and they couldn't even change their appearance.

However, facing these two junior cultivators, Ye Fan gave a wry smile: "Dad, Mom, what brings you here?"

"We need your permission to come see our grandson," Mr. Ye said with displeasure.

"No need." Ye Fan sighed, looking up at the sky. "Lord Lin, you're ruthless."
