In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 580 [I Was Already a Holy Body]

In the dark and cold depths of the universe, a golden divine sea surges and undulates, vast and mighty. From time to time, the sun, moon, and stars fall down, like water droplets rippling on the sea surface, which then transform into the primordial power of this vast ocean, existing for countless millennia.

This cosmic miracle is breathtaking and possesses supreme divine power. Unless one has a sacred bloodline, outsiders cannot observe it up close.

"This is the Sacred Body Ancestral Star? Why did it explode back then? If it was the work of the Supreme Being, why wasn't it completely erased?"

Ye Fan gazed at the Divine Sea, lost in thought. How similar this was to the Bitter Sea of ​​the Ancient Sacred Body, both possessing extraordinary phenomena.

"The supreme cannot be insulted. Back then, when the Holy Body Ancestor reached the end of the road, he even killed a Hegemon Body Ancestor. He was invincible in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even the forbidden zones of life had to bow down."

Lin Xian said leisurely, "The Holy Body Ancestor did not die in his later years due to misfortune, but perished under the Emperor Tribulation. His strength was unprecedented and unparalleled, enough to rival the Great Emperor. His tomb is located on the Ancestral Star. Those who destroyed the Holy Body Ancestral Star would not be willing to touch his remains, for fear of attracting backlash."

The progenitor of the Holy Body was a figure comparable to a Holy Emperor, a rare find in the world. Even the Supreme Beings couldn't fathom what was in his tomb.

If a divine thought were to suddenly appear, carrying half the Emperor's life, that would be a huge problem.

The Emperor must not be insulted; this is not just a saying, but also something that should be respected even by those who later attain enlightenment.

"The Great Emperor's Tribulation." Ye Fan's expression changed, and he sighed, "So the Ancient Sacred Body can also normally attract the Great Emperor's Tribulation."

In the ancient times, there was no emperor. The Ninth Generation Great Accomplished Holy Body emerged out of nowhere, suppressing turmoil and killing supreme beings. This combat power was earth-shattering. It was as strong as the Martian Holy Body, threatening the forbidden zone of life. Its blessings were like those of the Father of No Beginning. It could explore the mysteries of the Great Emperor, but still did not become an emperor.

Even Ye Fan deeply feared the curse that prevented the Holy Body from becoming an Emperor, believing it to be a great secret, a scheme deliberately orchestrated by a Supreme Being.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

"It is difficult to attain the Dao, not impossible. The Holy Bodies of the ancient times were a bit unlucky. One emperor fell and another emperor emerged. Most of them were outstanding individuals who had grown up over ten thousand years of difficult cultivation."

"It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to transcend tribulation and become an emperor in the era of Dao Jian. Even someone as amazing as Senior Gai Jiuyou ended up with half a body paralyzed."

Lin Xian sighed and said, "When the Holy Body is cultivated to the level of alternative Dao attainment, one can try to prove the Dao. However, the tribulations are unprecedented. With the example of the Holy Body Ancestor, even if there are people in later generations who cultivate to the level of the Crimson Blood Flawless Great Holy Body, they will not voluntarily send themselves to their deaths."

"To become an Emperor with a Holy Body is so difficult." Ye Fan frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Even someone as strong as Yinghuo did not undergo tribulation. Just what level is required to successfully pass the test and continue on this broken path?"

"Go and see the Ancestor, and you'll know." Lin Xian said calmly. The Holy Body that becomes an Emperor is limited not only by oneself, but also by the era.

If it is a difficult time for the Dao to be realized, or if a great emperor is in power, then one must be a heavenly emperor to attain the Dao by stepping on the imprint of the Heavenly Heart.

However, in a normal era, without the golden age of the Great Emperor, one would need to be several levels above the Holy Body Ancestor to have any hope.

The two holy bodies immediately plunged into the golden divine sea. In an instant, there was a primal rhythm, as if their ancestors from countless ages ago were calling to them. Their essence surged, and myriad paths roared, almost merging together.

A constant stream of rosy light shone down, nourishing the physique of his offspring and making Ye Fan's physical body increasingly powerful. Even Lin Xian's body began to produce traces of red blood.

"The Holy Body Ancestor still has a will?!"

Ye Fan was greatly surprised. This was a sacred body from the mythical era, millions of years ago, and it had not been worn away. This residual magic and these traces were the ultimate expression of a drop of blood filling a star sea, containing spirituality.

"It is difficult for an emperor to live, and it is also difficult for him to die."

"However, there should only be some regrets left, as the Human Emperor Banner has not shown any unusual activity."

As Lin Xian exhaled, some of the remaining essence of his Sacred Body entered his body. The power of the Great Perfection Sacred Body was a great tonic for him, who had just become a Quasi-Emperor, and it completely stabilized his current realm.

If we were to make an analogy, Lin Xian could now slap Ye Dasheng, who had triggered the Divine Forbidden Technique and the All-Encompassing Secret, to death.

Being an emperor is not just a title; standing at the pinnacle of the mortal world, everything else is but dust.

“Leave some for me!”

Ye Fan immediately became anxious. Both of them relied on their ancestors for sustenance, but Lin Xian was far too adept at it. He truly deserved to be called a genius who could achieve the Dao by relying on his ancestors.

"There's more below."

Lin Xian called out and walked towards the deepest part of the golden forbidden sea, where there was a blood-red area, the true source of the sacred body.

The two continued to descend, sensing the wrath of the Holy Ancestor and catching glimpses of information.

When the Sacred Body Ancestral Star exploded, the ancestral remains sensed it and sacrificed everything they had. The five great secret realms—the Immortal Platform, the Dragon Transformation Realm, the Four Extremes Realm, the Dao Palace Realm, and the Sea of ​​Wheels—all transformed into a golden forbidden sea that surged forth and engulfed this place.

The enemy dared not linger to investigate, fearing they would perish together with a dead man, so they let the golden sea flow through the starry sky.

This golden sea is as solid as a rock; even the power of a supreme being cannot destroy it. Only those with similar bloodlines can enter.

"Passed down through generations, a call from the blood."

Ye Fan sighed. This was the common ancestor of all Holy Bodies. The lineage of Holy Bodies on Earth back then might have been descended from this Holy Bodies ancestor.

Before Ye Fan could take any further action, Lin Xian knelt down at the boundary between the gold and red, wailing, "Ancestor above, your unworthy descendant, a descendant of the Holy Body, has come to pay homage to you."

A sea of ​​blood churned, with drops of crimson flying across the sky, unleashing extremely powerful energy. Some transformed into crimson dragons, others into blood phoenixes, and still others into tiny figures, brimming with vitality, unprecedented in their kind, as if they were living beings, possessing extraordinary spirituality.

The sacred blood, brimming with spirituality, swirled around the two of them. There was no doubt about Ye Fan's identity; he was a native of the Ancient Sacred Body, a true being of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the most orthodox of all.

However, the Ancestral Holy Blood had some doubts about Lin Xian, a self-taught monk. Did they have such a child in their own family?

No matter how you look at it, it's a dragon in human skin.

"Damn it, bloodline is the continuation of the ancestors. Although I have the Ancient Sacred Body, I am a blank slate, and there are no fragments of the Great Dao of the Primordial Ancestor in my body."

Lin Xian's expression changed instantly, and he was extremely anxious. If the Holy Body Ancestor did not recognize him as his adopted grandson, then he would not be able to inherit the estate or live off his parents.

Seeing the continuous flow of golden divine liquid and crimson essence into Ye Fan's body, while he himself remained inactive, Lin Xian gritted his teeth and made a decision. "Belief is the immortality of the spirit."

Lin Xian, carrying the white banner of the Human Emperor, offered sacrifices to the progenitor of the Holy Body, attracting countless forces of faith to descend. He shouted, "I have long been a Holy Body. You see, this Great Accomplishment Holy Body has already recognized me."

The Great Accomplished Holy Body of Yinghuo slightly opened its eyes. In an instant, the Heavenly Dao sensed it and sent down countless strange phenomena. The endless chains of divine order rustled and moved, manifesting its supreme Dao fruit.

In an instant, the golden forbidden sea surged with towering waves, churning the waters and overturning the sea, as excited as if the Holy Body Ancestor was about to be resurrected. Two truly invincible individuals of the Holy Body lineage, alternative Dao achievers who could rival the Great Emperor, met.

With the Martian Holy Body as his guarantor, and given Lin Xian's flawless bloodline, the Holy Body Ancestor also accepted him, believing him to be from an even more ancient branch of the Holy Bloodline.

This place is the burial site of the progenitor of the mythical era. However, before the mythical era, there were the chaotic ancient years and the immortal ancient years, when there was a golden bloodline, but it was not called the Holy Body.

The name of the sacred body varies from era to era. In the ancient times, it was called the Sacred Body of the Human Race. In the primordial era and mythology, it was known as the Indestructible Golden Body. It varies from person to person.

Strands of pure yang energy surrounded Lin Xian, making him feel as if he were bathing in a hot spring or returning to the womb. A look of contentment appeared on his face as he hugged his knees and practiced his internal energy, just like an infant.

A rushing sound rang out, and the holy blood surged like a long river, like a galloping horse. The essence, energy, and spirit reached their peak, and many memories of the holy body's inheritance, as well as a detailed explanation of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, appeared on the sea of ​​the mind.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths share the same origin as the Primordial Ancient Realm. Back then, the Holy Body Ancestor obtained several scriptures about the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art on the Immortal Path. Combining this with his own bloodline, he developed a unique divine power exclusive to the Holy Body—the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.

"My fist technique originates from the immortal scriptures, yet transcends them, surpassing them in its very essence. Even the most supreme immortals might not be able to defeat me!"

In the deepest part of the forbidden sea, a vast and ancient majestic voice echoed, exuding an invincible confidence: modern people are not necessarily inferior to the ancients, and ancient methods are not necessarily superior to modern methods. Innovation and progress, with each generation surpassing the last, is the ultimate truth of cultivation.

"Leaving aside the realm of immortals for the time being, in terms of the realm of humanity, the achievements of the Mythical Era may not be inferior to those of the Ancient Immortal Era."

Lin Xian snapped out of his daze, sensing all the information, and couldn't help but sigh. If this were the Immortal Ancient Era, the Holy Body Ancestor would most likely have been a True Immortal, able to step into the realm of immortality. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist he created was an amazing and unparalleled technique.

As for the Chaotic Ancient Era, it was just like now, difficult to produce immortals, and the achievements of humanity were not worth mentioning. The Immortal Ancient Laws were created by a group of Immortal Kings, while the Chaotic Ancient Laws were compiled by a group of old supreme beings. They were pieced together from various sources and did not form a system.

The realms of Blood Transfer, Cave Heaven, Spirit Transformation, Inscription, Array Formation, and Venerable are worth exploring. They form the foundation of the current secret realm techniques. For example, the integration of Inscription and Array Formation is the prototype of the Four Extreme Secret Realms.

Further up, the four realms of Divine Fire, True One, Holy Sacrifice, and Heavenly God bear a resemblance to the Willow God Sacrifice Spirit Method, which is barely acceptable. However, the last three realms—Void Path, Severing Myself, and Escape One—are completely like the old Immortal Realm Method, exuding immortal energy and awe-inspiring Dao energy, but without any trace of divine aura. The system has become a dead end.

"If I were to create a new system, I would most likely have to start with sacred rituals and rebuild the system. As for the gods, they should be placed in the heavens and placed on equal footing with the celestial beings."

Lin Xian pondered to himself. Now that he was a quasi-emperor, his vision and thinking were no longer what they used to be. Although he was still studying the Holy Body Ancestor, he also had his own innovations.

Starting with the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, one can evolve a small immortal realm, thereby allowing the physical body to reach the realm of immortality. This is easy to achieve, as the Secret Realm method incorporates the Undying Scripture, emphasizing that it is difficult to be buried by heaven or destroyed by earth. Furthermore, the Emperor's corpse can communicate with spirits. This level of physical body is only one step away from the immortal body, making it the easiest to achieve.

The real difficulty lies in the primordial spirit and the laws of immortality. Lin Xian ignited a flame on his immortal platform, and the sun and moon tempered his primordial spirit. He used the power of faith as fuel to burn away the acquired yin and seek to prove the innate pure yang primordial spirit.

Cultivate the body of immortality, attain the Yang spirit, and seek the path to immortality!

As he pondered, the golden sea began to boil, and countless strange phenomena emerged. All the originally surging energy rushed towards one place, shining brightly, as if a celestial king sat in it, reigning supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths.

"My Way, my Law, my Path!"

Ye Fan closed his eyes and pondered, reflecting on the past, observing the way of heaven and earth, examining the sun, moon and stars, and reading through the scriptures of various emperors. The supreme guidance passed through his mind like pages of an article, seeking the invincible path to emperorhood.

Suddenly, his blood surged, a golden sea soared into the sky, and strands of crimson essence blood were born, embarking on the path to invincible mastery.

He desires to attain the supreme Dao and achieve the ultimate holy body!
The entire golden forbidden sea rejoiced, and even the lingering resentment of the Holy Body Ancestor responded to his thoughts.

"Boom!"

A golden light shot into the sky, and Ye Fan suddenly stood up, but he lost his balance and staggered, coughing up blood. The blood was seven parts gold and three parts red, as dazzling and brilliant as a gemstone.

"Good things shouldn't be wasted."

Lin Xian acted swiftly, using the Jade Purification Bottle to collect the mouthful of holy blood. It could be auctioned off in the outside world and earn a considerable amount of Heavenly Emperor Coins, enough to extend the life of the elderly Great Sage by at least ten years.

"Holy Lord, what time is it? You're still profiting from human suffering."

Ye Fan sighed. Haste makes waste. He wanted to use the Ancestral Golden Sea to accelerate his progress on the Great Completion Path and take a few more steps forward, but it didn't work out in the end. Instead, he suffered a backlash.

“It’s a holy blood bun,” Lin Xian corrected. “It’s not the same price as a human blood bun.”

Ye Fan was speechless. After a long silence, he tentatively asked, "If the primordial spirit is not up to standard, can the Time Blade really allow the physical body to reach the Great Perfection realm ahead of time?"

With a fully developed Sacred Body, one can challenge the Supreme Being. Possessing a fully developed Sacred Body doesn't mean one is invincible, but at least one can protect oneself.

When Gai Jiuyou returned and the old Golden Crow manifested, Lin Xian told him all of this. Ye Fan became increasingly worried, feeling a sense of impending doom, as if the storm was just the calm before the storm.

"It's like a child wielding a hammer; it will only hurt himself." Lin Xian shook his head and said, "If you want to achieve a fully developed physical body, you can seek out that person at the Sacred Cliff."

"It's too unfamiliar. I have no combat power at all. I can barely kill a Quasi-Emperor. In front of a Supreme Being, I'm just a joke." Ye Fan shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "Only my own physical body has flexibility. At the Holy Cliff, I was basically tortured by the Undying Daoist. This is just a trial. If it were a real battle, I would definitely die."

"Then you'll have to suffer." Lin Xian smiled slightly, and a Time Blade appeared in her palm.

"Come on, Lord Lin, I need your help with my cultivation." Ye Fan took a deep breath, already prepared to be used by Lin Xian to settle personal scores.

"Time flows on..." Lin Xian murmured, and slashed out with one blade after another, as if slowly torturing Ye Fan's body.

Ye Fan winced in pain, letting out a muffled groan, and hoarsely said, "Damn it, why is it a year's supply!"

"It's safer to wait a year, and we should be mindful of the risks," Lin Xian said leisurely. "The big things are coming up next, so be patient."

"That damned Lord Lin, he changes his mind so easily, he's even more ruthless than the Black Emperor." Ye Fan's expression changed immediately. He dared not be careless and immediately activated his divine power to resist the erosion of time.
