In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 548 [Possessing Multiple Domains, Temporarily Refusal to Obey the Imperial Decree]

"When the yin and yang are in harmony, which is weaker or stronger, the world will be ruled by the emperor."

Crown Prince Tianzhou trembled as he recalled that ancient legend that sounded like a curse.

Since ancient times, it has been rare for a single school to produce two emperors. Other ancient scriptures, even if cultivated to the Great Perfection, cannot lead to enlightenment and stop at the Quasi-Emperor level.

The only exceptions are the Taiyin Immortal Scripture and the Taiyang Immortal Scripture of the human race, which have legends of those who cultivate both Yin and Yang and can become human emperors.

If this information were to spread to other races, all the spirits of the universe would naturally disregard it and regard it as mere rumor. It's as if a path cannot be walked twice; the predecessors attained enlightenment, blocking the path for successors, leaving them with no hope.

But the human race is different. In ancient times, each race had one emperor, but only the human race has two emperors.

In the Ancient Era, it was even more extraordinary. Human emperors emerged in such an explosive manner, dazzling the world and silencing even the forbidden zones of life.

Therefore, cultivators of all races speculate that the great emperors of the human race throughout history had more or less drawn on the Taiyin Immortal Scripture and the Taiyang Immortal Scripture in order to create the miracle of multiple emperors in one race.

"Indeed, it was this legend that captivated Yi."

Jinwu Dijun said calmly, as if stating a fact: "He wants to become an emperor!"

How could a great hero like Da Yi have his Dao heart shaken by a woman, or be changed by the allure of the ancient star? The only thing that could make him change was himself, and the only way was to achieve the Dao!

Six or seven thousand years ago, the Golden Crow Emperor was at the height of his power, dominating the entire universe. He was about to attain enlightenment, and all races were affected by him. They regarded the heavens as their own territory, all races as their subjects, and all realms as their inferior kingdoms.

If the Great Sage wanted to overtake others under such circumstances, he would have to resort to the most extreme methods.

"The calamity of immortality leads to the emperor's downfall... The imperial path is littered with white bones."

Crown Prince Tianzhou remained silent for a long time, without a trace of joy. Now, he finally understood the truth of what happened back then.

Most of the chaos in the world arises from the desire to become an immortal or an emperor.

If there were only the moon and the sun, Da Yi might not have been tempted; if there were only the elixir of immortality, Da Yi might not have been tempted either.

But when an imperial path is combined with the elixir of immortality, which cultivator in the world can resist such temptation!

Throughout history, great emperors have all sought the elixir of immortality. Obtaining the elixir of immortality is a symbol of great fortune, much like a mortal finding the Imperial Seal of the State.

“Yi did indeed have some luck. When I killed him, he was at the peak of the Great Sage, and was even about to take that breakthrough step. If I had arrived a little later, he would have been a quasi-emperor.”

Jinwu Dijun said calmly, "It's a pity that he only obtained an elixir of immortality, not an elixir of immortality. Hehe, the elixir of immortality can cloud people's minds. Thinking about it afterward, the elixir of immortality was really strange."

"Was it deliberately given to Da Yi by the people of the Primordial Era?!" Crown Prince Tianzhou narrowed his eyes. Back then, beneath the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, many schemes were hidden. Now, thinking back, it was filled with various forces and was not as simple as a conflict.

"The Jade Rabbit of the Moon, the Queen Mother of the West of the Big Dipper, powerful beings of the primordial era, the remnants of the Kunlun clan... There are more cultivators heading towards the Kunlun Immortal Mountain than you can imagine." Di Jun said in a low voice. Even the Crown Prince of Tianzhou would investigate such matters. Back when he was a supreme quasi-emperor, he had even more information. The situation was intricate and complex, with some hidden even more deeply.

Shooting down the sun was the beginning, and flying to the moon was not the end; in between, there was another chapter of history.

Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for the elixir of immortality, but Chang'e stole it and fled to the moon. Before she left, she consulted the oracle at Youhuang.

Huang Zhanzhi said: "Auspicious. The graceful maiden is going west alone. She will encounter darkness and gloom, but she should not be afraid or alarmed. Great prosperity will follow."

The person who can orchestrate all of this must be at least a quasi-emperor level powerhouse, and in the ancient primordial star, how many emperors can be called Huang?
When the Golden Crow Demon Emperor Jun killed Da Yi, he did not hold a grudge against the ancient star of the primordial world. Was it because he was kind? No, it was because he felt uneasy about one aura after another, and ultimately chose to leave.

From then on, a contradictory legend emerged on the ancient star: Hou Yi shot down nine suns, usurped the throne of Xia, and ultimately died.

The so-called Xia is not the Great Xia, but the Great Sun, the Golden Crow, the Sun God!
"Over the years, you've discovered that Da Yi isn't a primordial being. He's quite cunning. If I fail in my Nirvana, I won't be childless and my bloodline will be completely wiped out."

"But you must remember, cunning alone is not enough. In all the realms of the heavens and the myriad domains, the most important thing is strength."

"If you brothers were the Great Sages, you could have held out against Yi for a few more breaths until I arrived."

"No matter how much scheming the ancient star of the primordial era does, if Da Yi doesn't become a quasi-emperor, he will still have to pay with his life."

"Back then, I was the same. I was at the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor and went to undergo the Ninth Tribulation. I had grasped a trace of the Imperial Law and was considered a Daoist on the verge of enlightenment. However, I was no match for the Supreme. I died with just a few slaps and had to damage my own Dao Immortal Platform."

"If we can endure it for a while and emulate the ancient human emperors who survived two tribulations and reached the peak of the Nine Heavens, what is there to fear from the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, unless those old guys are willing to come out and risk their lives?"

Emperor Jinwu spoke slowly, as if he were not talking about his own son and himself, causing Crown Prince Tianzhou to stiffen.

"What are your chances of achieving Nirvana?" Crown Prince Tianzhou asked after a long silence, then murmured to himself, "If the divine liquid of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao is effective, then the immortal liquid of the Dao Venerable must be as well."

“You still don’t understand. You don’t have the heart of a true strongman.” Di Jun sighed, full of exhaustion. At this moment, he seemed not to be the quasi-emperor who once reigned over the universe, but an old golden crow watching over his naive child.

Lingbao Tianzun perished millions of years ago, passing away in the mythological era. The underground world of the ancient star of the Heavenly Soldiers has existed since time immemorial, so how could those who attained enlightenment throughout the ages not have noticed it?

The Sendai Fire Liquid here is no different from the other secret realms of the Heavenly Venerable. It has a similar effect to the Heavenly Venerable Life Spring in the Mythical Other Shore. In the past, the ancient Heavenly Court used it to cultivate disciples, train generals, and establish celestial palaces. Therefore, this star region is called the Heavenly Army.

"External objects can only play a supporting role, stimulating the physical body and allowing the primordial spirit to remain temporarily immortal, thus buying time for Nirvana."

"If it were useful, those old fogies in the Primordial Ancient Mine would have already lived a second life thanks to the Primordial Life Stones!"

As Di Jun spoke, his voice grew increasingly majestic, and he rebuked, "The Golden Crow undergoes Nirvana, the Phoenix is ​​reborn, but the true reliance is on oneself. You are already a Great Sage, yet you haven't even grasped this level. How will you break through to Quasi-Emperor?"

Crown Prince Tianzhou turned deathly pale. He wanted to retort, but he couldn't utter a word.

“Master, please calm down. Junior Brother is just anxious.” Great Sage Fire Crow quickly bowed and advised, “Besides, the Quasi-Emperor level is extremely difficult. I also failed to break through and am trapped in this realm.”

“You have hope, just a little slow. As for him, he is completely hopeless.” Emperor Jinwu sighed, utterly disappointed. The golden divine egg swayed, stirring up ten thousand feet of immortal fire, dazzlingly bright, weaving countless golden threads in the void, outlining a figure.

The man had golden hair and red eyes, a handsome appearance, and fair skin. He possessed an indescribable heroic spirit and was full of vitality. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet he resembled a young immortal king. He had a calm and composed demeanor, as if he could suppress the entire universe by himself.

"Master!"

"Father?"

Two exclamations rang out. Both the Great Sage Fire Crow and the Crown Prince of Heavenly Day showed expressions of disbelief. The person before them was far too young. The vitality of his life force was far beyond what a decaying supreme being could achieve by deliberately using magic to maintain his appearance. He was truly young.

When the three of them stood together and said that Di Jun was a descendant of Crown Prince Tian Zhou, people would believe them.

"Master, you are still in the process of Nirvana, how can you break through the barrier so easily!" The Great Sage Fire Crow looked at the golden divine egg and was immediately shocked.

"No problem, the most important hurdle has been overcome, the rest is just a matter of time."

Di Jun stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the starry sky, and said calmly, "I'm going to the Dao Venerable's Ancient Well to find some immortal liquid, not for myself, but so that my only son can become a quasi-emperor."

“Father…” Crown Prince Tianzhou was speechless. A great sage who had lived for thousands of years was now weeping like a child.

"Master, do you wish me to go with you?" The Great Sage Fire Crow looked at the divine egg and asked hesitantly.
"The world is vast, who can stop me?" Di Jun laughed freely, transforming into a streak of light that pierced through the universe and descended upon another human star field. He strolled leisurely and unhurriedly, his speed already reaching the passing grade of an emperor.

The tenth level of the human race is glorious and prosperous, with all races gathering to await the opening of the next Dao Venerable Immortal Well, and a continuous stream of experts emerging.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Lin Xian threw a brick at random, he could kill three Great Sages.

The death of the Quasi-Emperor Tengshe did not frighten others; instead, it proved the value of the Dao Venerable Immortal Well, attracting a truly powerful force to descend.

"A city that is half a century old, a city of the Great Derivation. This giant city is extraordinary. No wonder the Daoist Master chose to refine the Holy Spirit Elixir here."

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor spoke in a low voice, looking down at the primordial planet. It bore the marks of an emperor and could withstand a great battle with a sage without being destroyed, but it was no match for a quasi-emperor.

He took a step forward, and his supreme aura flowed, instantly stimulating several imperial weapons in the Heavenly Court to rise into the air and shine brightly!
"There is more than one imperial weapon."

"That cauldron almost completed the legendary Emperor's Immortal Artifact."

"This celestial weapon came from Kunlun Mountain, but what about the elixir of immortality?"

The Golden Crow Emperor's pupils contracted, and two beams of light burst forth. He circled the tenth level of the human race and even found the Two-Cornered Boundless Emperor Formation set up by the Black Emperor.

For him, breaking through it was naturally easy, but the subsequent resurrection of the imperial weapon and the deity was a tricky matter.

"We can't force it. If it triggers a war between imperial weapons, it will affect my cultivation."

With a thought, Jinwu Dijun transformed into a human youth with flowing golden hair and innocent eyes, blending into the tenth level. He avoided the locking force of the imperial weapon's aura and hid within the crowd. "Who is it?!"

The princes all changed color. Led by Ye Fan, they led the imperial weapons to search the nearby void, smashing one large star after another, but they found nothing, not even a trace.

"The Quasi-Emperor Wuque has arrived, otherwise the Imperial Weapon could not have revived on its own."

Ye Fan's expression was extremely solemn. If an old Teng Snake was so difficult to defeat, how much more difficult would it be to defeat a true Quasi-Emperor? Even though he had eaten Teng Snake flesh and refined Dao Venerable Immortal Liquid in recent years, which boosted his combat power and allowed him to enter the ninth level of Saint King and become a true Heavenly King.

However, without becoming a Great Sage, there is no possibility of defying the Quasi-Emperor.

"No clues can be found. The Quasi-Emperors of the Great Universe are numerous. Who could it be?" Tai Chu frowned slightly, and the figures of various races flashed through his mind.

The Divine Race, the Light Race, the Kunlun Remnants, Ancient Gods and Demons, Primordial Qi Refiners, and the Divine Court.

"Could it be a quasi-emperor of the Holy Spirit Clan?"

The Emperor pondered and asked, "The things inside the Daoist Well are most attractive to the Holy Spirit Clan. They are willing to pay any price for the Heaven-Mending Technique."

“Not the Holy Spirit Clan.” Tai Chu shook his head; he was very sensitive to the aura of the Holy Spirit Clan.

Silence fell over the scene; everyone was speechless and couldn't come up with a solution.

Suddenly, Zhang Bairen raised an eyebrow and said, "Why don't we ask Lord Lin?"

Yes, why not ask the magical Lin Xian?

Ye Fan's eyes lit up. He crossed the void and headed to a certain dojo on the original planet, which was the new branch of the Tianxuan Holy Land in the starry sky.

Little Nannan, Ye Tianxuan, Hei Huang, Long Ma... and some newly recruited disciples of Tianxuan Holy Land were listening to Lin Xian's sermon.

The Heavenly Court is as inclusive as the ocean, and it desires to govern all realms. The Starry Sky Heavenly Pivot is naturally different from the Big Dipper Heavenly Pivot. In addition to human disciples, there are also cultivators from all races with extraordinary talents.

There are giant, mountain-sized star-devouring beasts, bewitching fairies with unparalleled beauty, incomparably holy angels of light, even more radiant than the Light Clan, and the Thunder Roc Clan entwined with lightning—and so on, countless in number.

The temple is a pure and blessed land where immortal herbs grow and ginseng and lingzhi exude auspiciousness. A unicorn lies alone on the riverbank, and cranes perch on the water. A divine bridge spans the long river, radiating divine light and purple aura. A holy master sits on the other bank, while disciples sit cross-legged on this bank, discussing the principles of birth and death in the cycle of reincarnation and the methods of transcending time. Everyone is captivated and gains something from the experience.

"The five great secret realms of the human body—the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the Immortal Platform—each contain divine treasures that can be explored and opened. They can nurture immortal embryos and divine spirits. Today, I will discuss the mysteries of the Dao Palace..."

Lin Xian spoke eloquently, then suddenly paused, plunging the disciples into surprise. He looked at a black dot flying in from the sky, flicked his whisk, and slowly said, "Why is Elder Ye not in Heaven to receive blessings, but has come to my Tianxuan?"

The disciples of Tianxuan immediately began to discuss among themselves, recognizing the newcomer as the Supreme Holy Lord of Tianxuan Holy Land, the current leader of the Heavenly Court, a man of extraordinary status.

"Something terrible has happened to Lin Xian." Ye Fan arrived at the dojo and pulled Lin Xian away.

“Using job titles during working hours.” Lin Xian immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, “What kind of behavior is it for a Supreme Saint Lord like you and an Unparalleled Saint Lord to be pulling each other like this?”

"What the hell is this Supreme Holy Lord?" Ye Fan's lips twitched, then he said very seriously, "Stop talking nonsense, I need to talk to you about something, and it's a big problem."

"The Emperor Emeritus's father is naturally the Supreme Emperor." Lin Xian spread his hands and said helplessly, "I am now a Dao Palace cultivator. What trouble can I solve? If you have any problems, go find Ye Tianxuan. He is the Tianxuan Saint Lord. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few years and he is almost a Saint King. In a few more years, he may be able to overthrow you."

"What are you, a Great Sage who has reached Nirvana, pretending to be a minor cultivator from a Dao Palace?" Ye Fan's face darkened, and he said bluntly, "Since it involves a Quasi-Emperor, we need a safe place."

"No need, the safest place is where the little girl is." Lin Xian smiled calmly. He dared to sever his own cultivation and start over, so he was naturally confident.

Ye Fan and his companions were able to slay the old Teng Snake, making them virtually invincible below the Quasi-Emperor level, and they could protect him.

As for those above the Quasi-Emperor level, aren't there still Little Nannan?

When the little girl came, the blue sky appeared; when the little girl came, the universe was at peace!

"Big brother, do you want some candy?"

The little girl on Black Emperor's back, who was taking a nap, was awakened by the noise. She raised her little head, opened her eyes groggily, revealing her rosy cheeks, and was holding a milk candy in her hand.

"Nannan, you can eat it yourself."

Ye Fan glanced at the adorable little girl and immediately calmed down. Yes, the more powerful a person is, the more wary they are of little girls.

No wonder that after Lin Shengzhu rebuilt his cultivation, he was inseparable from Xiao Nannan. It seemed that he was protecting Xiao Nannan, but in reality, Xiao Nannan was his biggest bodyguard.

The other imperial princes also arrived one after another. Lin Xian gradually realized the seriousness of the problem. He was in the process of rebirth and was currently only at the Dao Palace level. He was completely unaware of the unusual movements of the imperial weapon.

“Tianxuan, you will preach and teach in my place.”

Lin Xian summoned a sage, a young man whose features were just beginning to develop, exuding heroic spirit and possessing unparalleled talent throughout history. He is now the esteemed Lord of Tianxuan, in charge of a great sect.

Ye Tianxuan was no longer the same as before, but he was invincible among the saints of the same level throughout the starry sky and could fight against high-level imperial princes. He had the style of his father, and many disciples admired him greatly.

"Yes, Patriarch."

Ye Tianxuan stood up, bowed, and then sat down on the other side. He exuded great authority, silencing the previously noisy disciples.

Compared to the previous two Holy Lords who acted as mere managers, letting the Yin Body do the work, this third Holy Lord since the restoration is the true Holy Lord, taking over the work of his aunt Jiang Tingting.

Ye Fan nodded with satisfaction. Tianxuan Holy Land had finally encountered a reliable Holy Lord, who was also his own son. In the future, when he met Great Sage Wei Yi, he could boast about his achievements.

What was the unusual movement of the Imperial Weapon just now?

Lin Xian asked calmly, holding the Black Emperor's hand, while the Black Emperor carried the little girl on his back. The trio was invincible, slaughtering indiscriminately without fear of any danger.

Zhang Bairen, with a solemn expression, recounted the details, explaining that the newcomer was no ordinary Quasi-Emperor, but far surpassed the old Tengshe.

“Not an ordinary quasi-emperor, not one from our faction.” Lin Xian pondered for a moment and proposed a series of candidates: “The Divine Court Emperor, the Undying Empress, the Eight Divine Generals, the Woodcutter…”

The princes were astonished. They naturally recognized the emperor and the empress, as the empress and the divine general were figures from ancient history. Could it be that they would also manifest in this life?

As for the woodcutter, who is he, and why has no one ever heard of him before?

"The universe truly is a place where dragons and tigers lie hidden." The Emperor murmured, his expression serious. Quasi-Emperors were just not outwardly apparent; in reality, if they wanted to gather them, they could still manage to gather more than a dozen.

Just as Lin Xian and the others were analyzing the candidates, a superior voice came from beyond the realm.

"Holy Body Ye Fan, why haven't you come out yet? The Imperial Decree has arrived!"

A terrifying aura, extreme fluctuations, and imperial power permeated the air, as if an ancient celestial dragon were looking down upon ants—a true quasi-emperor had descended.

"It's him?"

The princes suddenly looked up at the starry sky. To use a quasi-emperor as an envoy was a grand gesture. Could it be that a great emperor had issued a decree?

"No one holds the Heavenly Heart Mark, and there is no Great Emperor in this world. Could it be the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone?"

Lin Xian pondered for a moment. He had dealt with both the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Undying Mountain before, so he shouldn't be acting this way. Could it be that the Great Completion Hegemony Sect Quasi-Emperor from the Hegemony Ancestral Star has come seeking revenge?

With the Emperor's backing and the support of the First Divine General Ning Fei, Phoenix Nest has a certain chance of success.

Surely it's not some forbidden area in the underworld.

Ye Fan stepped into the Heavenly King realm, activated the Green Cauldron, barely withstood the aura of a Quasi-Emperor, ascended into the sky, and shouted: "Ye Fan is here. May I ask which Great Emperor has issued this decree?"

"You are indeed the Ancient Sacred Body, capable of withstanding the aura of a Quasi-Emperor. You do have some skill." Yu Huatian was somewhat surprised, then looked deeply at the Green Cauldron and said in a deep voice, "Your decree to Lord Ling Guang is here. Take a bath, burn incense, and prepare to receive it."

"Ling Guang, is that the Great Emperor?" Inside the tenth level of the human race, a blond-haired, red-eyed youth murmured, his eyes filled with great doubt.

"The Vermilion Bird's Radiance." Ye Fan laughed immediately, a green cauldron above his head, radiating boundless immortal light that shielded him from the pressure of a quasi-emperor. He said, "As far as I know, the Vermilion Bird Emperor of the Divine Court has not yet attained enlightenment."

"It's only a matter of time. The Emperor is about to attain enlightenment, and this life belongs to him." Yu Huatian looked down at Ye Fan from his high position and said coldly, "Holy Body, submitting to the Divine Court now is your best choice. When the Emperor attains enlightenment one day, even if you want to join the Divine Court, they may not accept you."

"Then please issue the decree after Your Majesty has attained enlightenment," Ye Fan said calmly. "The Heavenly Court, which controls all realms, will not obey the decree for the time being."
