In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 551 [Actually, I'm a Heavenly Court Person]

The dragon-patterned black and gold cauldron floated and sank, returning on its own, and finally fell into the hands of the little girl, who was extremely obedient and let out one joyful dragon roar after another.

Several imperial princes also arrived one after another, and they were all shocked when they saw the little girl again.

So this is the Heavenly Court's trump card. No wonder Lin Xian was so confident and fearless in the face of a Quasi-Emperor, never leaving the Daoist temple.

"Chang Sheng, has the world gained another person who can rival the Emperor?"

The emperor's heart trembled. The little girl reminded him of the Emperor's second life, in which he transformed into a divine infant. How similar they were!

The methods of achieving immortality throughout history are all interconnected; some paths in this world will inevitably intersect. There's no question of which is superior or inferior; they simply happen to meet occasionally.

"The aura of someone who hasn't severed himself is different from those people in the Primordial Ancient Mine!"

Tai Chu was shocked. He was the one with the highest cultivation among the imperial sons, and he was almost transformed into a royal holy spirit. However, he was harmed by the Supreme Being and had to cut off his own cultivation to start over. He was the most sensitive to the aura of the Supreme Being.

The existence of Little Nannan is either a mockery of the supreme beings in the forbidden zone or a denial of the path to immortality; it's truly astonishing.

The greatest secret to becoming an immortal is where you can cultivate yourself and find the determination to keep going.

The significance of the Ruthless Great Emperor lies not in how high her cultivation level was, but in the fact that she was like a lighthouse, guiding those who came after her, opening up a new path, and remaining alive to this day, creating a legend.

"Why is everyone looking at Nannan...?"

The little girl's face was flushed, and she blinked her big, black gem-like eyes, looking as cute as a fairy child. You couldn't tell at all that she was a ruthless person who had killed a quasi-emperor.

"Sister Nan is mighty, unparalleled in the universe!!!"

The green cauldron trembled, and the divine child inside jumped out, hugged the little girl's leg, and sang a hymn, wanting to worship the little girl as its leader, and vowed: "With the two of us joining forces, where in the universe can't we go?"

Everyone's lips twitched, initially thinking it was all a farce, but upon closer reflection, they became increasingly terrified.

Can a deity truly be like a living holy spirit? Or is it that the celestial artifact is unique, allowing the divine child to transcend?

Looking at the divine child and the celestial child, Zhang Bairen's heart stirred, recalling the past, and he couldn't help but say, "Heavenly Emperor, celestial artifact."

Only in the era of the Heavenly Emperor can celestial artifacts be born, such as the Desolate Tower and the Green Cauldron.

A great battle ended, and a true quasi-emperor was killed, far superior to the crippled old Tengshe. The Heavenly Court won a decisive battle to establish itself, completely intimidating the ten directions of the starry river and becoming invincible in all realms.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and rested to adjust their state.

Along the stream, silver-flowered trees swayed in the breeze. The imperial princes discussed the Dao, the big black dog studied the formation, and the little girl frolicked among the flowers. Suddenly, she looked towards the door, waved happily, and called out, "Three brothers..."

Yao Guang, as radiant as the son of the sun god, Jiang Yifei, refined and easy-going, and Hua Yunfei, ethereal and otherworldly—each was an outstanding figure of unparalleled talent, even threatening the Emperor's son. Yet, they treated the little girl with great respect, performing the disciple's salute, and incidentally drove away the Black Emperor to prevent him from corrupting the Great Emperor's Dao.

The little girl was very friendly to everyone, and she was extremely close to the three of them, except for Xiaosong.

Suddenly, the little girl turned around, her big eyes looking towards the door again, and subconsciously said, "Someone's coming."

In the tenth level of the human race, the young Emperor Jun followed in the footsteps of Long Ding and the others, descending upon the primitive planet. He strolled among the mountains and fields, where the land was covered with jade grass, the flowers were in full bloom, the scenery was lush and verdant, and the immortal light surrounded him, creating a scene of a pure and blessed land.

Not far away, a magnificent pavilion stood, its jewels gleaming, with a couplet inscribed on it: "Ruling the myriad stars of the Heavenly Palace, reigning supreme over the Purple Star Imperial Family."

"What arrogance!" The young Emperor Jun laughed immediately. Even as a supreme quasi-emperor, he wouldn't dare use such a couplet. What kind of dragon's den and tiger's lair is this Tianxuan Mansion? How dare it call itself the imperial family?

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor lived a second life, standing at the pinnacle of the mortal realm, touching the supreme realm, and can be called the number one person below the Great Emperor. He was confident in his profound cultivation and was not afraid even if the Emperor Weapon was fully revived. So he simply pushed open the door and entered without being invited.

"crunch..."

One gaze after another fell upon the outsiders, and several imperial weapons emerged, radiating immortal light. Everyone was extremely wary. Having just killed a Yu Hua Tian, ​​the heroes were terrified. Anyone who dared to come at this time was undoubtedly a high-level quasi-emperor.

Only the little girl remained innocent and asked with a bright smile, "Big brother, who are you? What are you doing at my house?"

The more powerful a person is, the more they can sense the terror of the little girl. In the eyes of the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, this is not a little girl at all, but a woman of extraordinary talent who is in a deep sleep with her eyes half-closed, ready to awaken at any moment and unleash the Emperor's Law.

In addition, the six great imperial weapons—the Dragon Pattern Cauldron, the Eternal Universe Furnace, the Vajra Bracelet, the Fuxi Stele, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, and the Daoist Immortal Robe—manifested simultaneously.

With a Great Emperor Dao Fruit and six Imperial Weapons, this lineup is more than enough to suppress the forbidden zones of life.

In an instant, the Golden Crow Demon Emperor broke out in a cold sweat. He had dominated his entire life, survived the tribulation of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, escaped from the hands of the Supreme Being, and endured a second life, but he never expected to capsize in a ditch.

If a fight breaks out, it might even endanger the original divine egg of the Heavenly Soldiers Ancient Star.

"Big brother, what are you going to do?" the little girl asked innocently, but in the eyes of the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, she was just like a prehistoric beast that was about to pounce and devour him completely.

Yes, it is her Dao Fruit, the legendary Ruthless Great Emperor, also known as the Devouring Heaven Empress.

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor's heart trembled as he recognized the little girl's origins.

Back then, he slew all the kings, devoured their origins, and defied the heavens to achieve the Dao. His methods were ruthless to the extreme, making him a demonic emperor, even more forbidden than the forbidden zones of life.

Other supreme beings all started eating people after severing themselves. The Empress directly devoured the entire universe in her first life. The Golden Crow clan still has records. In the great era more than 200,000 years ago, their quasi-emperors were directly boiled into soup.

"I never imagined that the Heavenly Court, which appears to be upright and honorable, would secretly collude with the Demon Emperor."

The young Emperor Jun sighed inwardly, then his expression turned solemn, and with sincerity, he stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Disciple Jin Jun, after witnessing the battle in the starry sky, knows that the destiny of this life must lie with the Heavenly Court. Therefore, I have come to Tianxuan Palace to serve, and I hope that the Heavenly Court will grant my request."

Although the princes possessed extraordinary combat power, none of them were quasi-emperors. They couldn't see through Di Jun's deliberate disguise and simply regarded him as a minor cultivator at the saint level. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew their imperial weapons.

Although the little girl was a Great Emperor Dao Fruit cultivator, she was still clueless and couldn't understand anything. Even making a ruthless person turn over would be difficult for her. Seeing that the young Emperor Jun had no killing intent whatsoever, she made no further moves.

For a time, Di Jun actually managed to fool them.

In this day and age, even a quasi-emperor is unyielding and looks down on all the heavens. No one expected that a supreme-level Golden Crow Demon Emperor would be so flexible and adaptable.

Character determines destiny. If the old Golden Crow had been as stubborn as Gai Jiuyou, he would have perished in the Emperor Tribulation or at the hands of the Supreme Being long ago, and would have had no chance to live a second life.

"You have come to seek refuge with the Heavenly Court and wish to become a disciple of the Tianxuan Immortal Mansion."

Lin Xian walked up and looked him over, asking, "What race are you? You're not human, are you?"

"This disciple is of the Golden Crow bloodline, and knows that the Heavenly Court embraces all rivers and regards all races as its subjects..." The young Emperor Jun spoke eloquently, always extremely adaptable, and smiled knowingly, "Holy Lord, don't look down on me just because I am a member of the Golden Crow clan. My heart already belongs to Tianxuan. In fact, I have long been a member of the Heavenly Court." The crowd exchanged strange glances, their expressions quite odd, feeling that these words sounded strangely familiar.

The Black Emperor's eyes revealed a strange look, and he couldn't help but mutter, "He has quite the potential of the Holy Lord Lin."

"What are you saying!" Lin Xian glared at the Black Emperor and coughed, "This is the manifestation of our Heavenly Court's benevolence towards all living beings and its kindness to all races."

"I am utterly loyal to the Heavenly Court..."

The young Emperor Jun swore that if he lied, he would never be able to achieve the Great Sage Dao Fruit for the rest of his life.

"To join the Heavenly Court, one must pass an examination."

Ye Fan stepped forward to test the young Emperor Jun's abilities. He had fought against a real Quasi-Emperor before, and even if the person in front of him was a Quasi-Emperor in disguise, he would still reveal his true identity.

However, Emperor Jun was truly a master actor, a shrewd and experienced man, especially an ancient golden crow thousands of years old, who perfectly controlled the situation.

He has shown great talent as a Golden Crow Clan Saint, with the potential to become a Great Saint and a slight hope of advancing to Quasi-Emperor. He is an indispensable talent for all major forces.

Cultivators who practice secret realm techniques are not born brutes, but rather their strength is so great that their muscles have replaced their brains, allowing them to solve everything by simply pushing and shoving.

But if brute force cannot solve everything, then extraordinary wisdom will once again replace extraordinary power, seeking entirely new solutions for survival.

In the end, the Golden Crow Actor successfully passed the test and went into hiding in the Heavenly Court.

"It is your good fortune to join my great religion."

Lin Xian nodded, then, with a mischievous glint in his eye, said, "How about I bestow upon you a Dharma name, Taiyi?"

"Taiyi?"

"Taiyi!"

The crowd's expressions varied. The young Emperor Jun felt a tremor in his heart, but on the surface, he put on an expression of ecstatic joy and said excitedly, "Thank you, Holy Lord, for bestowing upon me the name Taiyi. This title is of extraordinary significance in my Golden Crow Clan."

"That's natural. When the Golden Crow cries, the Emperor falls from grace. Back then, a Taiyi Emperor of the Golden Crow Clan created an unparalleled great law and was one of the ancestors of the Immortal Realm."

Lin Xian clapped his hands and laughed, "I hope that in the future you will be the best among the Golden Crow clan."

"The Immortal Realm?!"

Di Jun, a newcomer, was immediately overwhelmed by Lin Xian's information. The others, however, were not surprised. Lin Xian, a descendant of the Immortal Realm bloodline and the second Undying Emperor, knew so much, which was perfectly normal.

“Holy Lord, the years have passed too long, and most of our clan’s myths about that Supreme Heavenly Emperor have been lost.” Di Jun asked without shame, “Could you fill in a few gaps so that future generations can admire the glory of our ancestor?”

"The Heavenly Emperor Taiyi was incredibly talented and founded the Heavenly Court. He was just one step away from becoming a Dao Ancestor." Lin Xian smiled slightly and said, "If he had succeeded back then, your Golden Crow Clan would not have had to be relegated to the mortal realm. You would have been the royal family of the Immortal Realm."

"What? The Golden Crow Emperor of yesteryear also founded the Heavenly Court!"

The young Emperor Jun's pupils contracted. He had not expected to know such a great secret. Since ancient times, the Heavenly Court could not be established rashly, as it would bring great consequences. All the ancient emperors and great emperors throughout history had kept it a secret. Even the Azure Emperor wanted to establish the Heavenly Court in his later years, but ultimately did not make up his mind.

I thought the Heavenly Court was unique to the mortal realm, and that there was a Heavenly Court even if there was no Immortal Realm.

"The Heavenly Court governs all the heavens and myriad realms. It existed before the ancient history and is of extraordinary significance." Lin Xian said leisurely, painting a rosy picture for the old Golden Crow: "The Heavenly Court will rise again in this life and is destined to be glorious. You will have deciphered the mysteries of the immortal path. As long as you work hard, you will be taken along when you enter the Immortal Realm in the future. You will be the founder of the Golden Crow royal family of the Immortal Realm."

"Yes, Holy Lord!"

The young Emperor Jun was moved to tears, but in his heart he was unconvinced. He used the tactic of those who became immortals first to help those who became immortals later. When he was the Golden Crow Ancestor, he often made empty promises to his subordinates.

The only drawback is that it's not very filling.

Ye Fan and the others regarded Di Jun's intrusion as a minor episode and resumed their discussion.

The young Emperor Jun listened to it briefly but didn't take it seriously. It was just the same old talk from a Great Sage or Quasi-Emperor level. He focused more on the little girl, hoping to find the secret to immortality from this Great Emperor's Dao Fruit.

The power that has never been severed over hundreds of thousands of years—if this isn't immortality, what is?
Having lived nine lifetimes in the mortal world, and having passed through five of them, he is now at the middle point, even capable of crafting immortal artifacts. Apart from his insufficient lifespan, he is no different from a true immortal in every other respect.

Unfortunately, the little girl was too innocent and naive to reveal any information, much to the regret of the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

"In her first life, she devoured the heavens and attained enlightenment. In her second life, she transformed into a chaotic body and evolved into a divine embryo. In her third life, she took the elixir of immortality. In her fourth life, no one knows how she survived. But the facts prove that as long as the ruthless person is alive, the heavens will never perish."

"Now in the fifth life, the method of immortality I've discovered is the legendary Great Dream of Eternity?"

The young Emperor Jun's eyes held a strange light, as if he had glimpsed a completely new immortal realm. As someone who had been reborn and lived a second life, the ruthless actions of the man left him speechless, and he couldn't help but ponder whether he could replicate them.

"Nine Transformations on the Other Shore, Five Realms Rebuilt..."

On the banks of the long river, Lin Xian's profound and mysterious voice resounded, both demonstrating the Daoist methods for others and organizing his own system to lay the foundation for this reconstruction.

At first, the young Emperor Jun dismissed these Daoist insights with disdain. What could a Great Sage possibly talk about, Nirvana and rebirth? These were insights that only a Supreme Being was worthy of.

However, as Lin Xian's explanation became more in-depth, the young Emperor Jun's expression turned serious, and he abandoned the little girl to listen to the lecture on the other side.

"Few emperors throughout history have lived a second life, yet those who are less accomplished than them have created miracles."

"Di Que from the Primordial Era and Jiang Taixu from the Ancient Aristocratic Family both confirm this point."

"Nirvana has nothing to do with spiritual realm!"

Lin Xian explained in detail, starting from the basics: "This is due to different research directions. Those who achieve the Dao focus on the resonance of the five great secret realms, condense the imperial Dao laws, and hope to use this Dao cocoon to transform into immortals, giving birth to immortal gods on the Immortal Platform."

“Nirvana is different. It focuses on the transformation between life and death, and is about breaking down and then building up. It is different from the resonance and unity of the five great realms. It is more inclined to division. We need to infinitely subdivide the five great realms.”

The young Emperor Jun was deeply moved. It wasn't that Lin Xian was wrong; rather, she was absolutely right.

The reason he was able to be reborn and live a second life was not only due to his own talent, but also greatly related to the self-inflicted damage he suffered during that heavenly tribulation.

It was through repeated attempts at self-repair, through repeated struggles to survive, that the Golden Crow Demon Emperor laid the foundation for his contemplation of the path to immortality.

"In short," Lin Xian coughed lightly, "If you want immortality, you must first court death!"
