In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 609 [Lin Xian Steps In to Sow Discord]

On Mount Sumeru, the Buddha's light shone brightly, and the sound of chanting was faint. The chanting of the Buddhas, both large and small, was continuous. On the Golden Summit of Thunder Sound, the Buddha's position was divided into three: one was the Victorious Fighting Buddha, one was Shakyamuni, and one was a future star, who ruled the ocean of faith and had boundless power.

Amidst countless auspicious wisps of air and boundless radiant light, a sea of ​​merit and gold gave rise to one after another of the azure lotuses of creation, nurturing the life force of life, their verdant greenness dripping with moisture.

Lin Xian, falsely claiming to hold the Buddha's position, used Mount Sumeru as his foundation, sat cross-legged on a lotus flower, his Dharma body vast, and actually forced his way into the small realm of spiritual power intertwined with the supreme divine thoughts above the Eastern Wilderness.

Although the spiritual realm constructed by the Supreme Mind Power is not as powerful as the spiritual universe forged by the Immortal Kings in the Ancient Immortal Era, as an enlightened being who has mastered the Heavenly Heart Mark and genuinely ruled the Great Universe, he has his own understanding of the construction of heaven and earth. With a single thought, he can create a universe, evolving one after another small world that is almost real and true.

Some are celestial temples with mythological characteristics, some are divine courts that rule the world and dominate the universe, some are solitary Taoist temples, some are secluded villages, and some are vast oceans. All these different landscapes embody supreme Taoist scenes, containing order and the Great Way.

The thirty-six heavens rise and fall, covering the void of the universe, their forms majestic and awe-inspiring. If someone were fortunate enough to witness this scene and not be obliterated by the supreme beings of the forbidden zones, it would be an extraordinary stroke of luck, allowing them to view multiple imperial scriptures and witness the ideals of ancient supreme beings.

The only drawback is that there are simply too many Dao Realms. There are no more than forty Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zone in total, but there are hundreds of Dao Realms intertwined. And this is only what is on the surface. There are countless seeds of spiritual power in the spiritual realms where individual Supreme Beings chat privately.

This complex relationship revealed to Lin Xian the divisions within the forbidden zone. Even within the same forbidden zone, there was no guarantee of unity. These were all former supreme experts, each believing themselves to be invincible, and each harboring their own selfish ambitions.

Therefore, Lin Xian decisively took action to stir up trouble in the forbidden area.

"Interesting, a quasi-emperor dares to participate in the Supreme Game."

"So weak, really so weak, no, yet also a bit strong, not like a normal quasi-emperor."

The eyes of the Venerable Ones shimmered with divine light. They had dominated the world and seen everything. Their cultivation had reached its peak, covering the Nine Netherworlds. The end for the Old Golden Crow was merely their starting point.

In an instant, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone sensed Lin Xian's abnormality: she was strong within weakness and weak within strength, coexisting with all living beings and having a mysterious connection with Amitabha Buddha.

"Could it be... the Buddhist Emperor's backup plan?"

The Supreme Beings narrowed their eyes and looked towards the direction of the Undying Mountain. Unlike the battle between the Empress and the Lord of Reincarnation, after Amitabha Buddha descended upon the forbidden area of ​​the Undying Mountain, he did not take action. Instead, he used his Buddha light to illuminate the earth, shining on every inch of land, stabilizing the universe, and protecting the Big Dipper Emperor Star.

This method was used by the Buddha in the Western Desert, which can transform barren land into a pure land for his own use.

But it takes millions of years to pave the way for a Buddhist kingdom to emerge.

This method is too peaceful, too gentle to be real; beneath the tranquility lies an endless eeriness.

"Wait... a quasi-emperor who's over a hundred years old!"

The founder of the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable, Zi Mi, was most sensitive to life force and blood energy. He was somewhat surprised to judge Lin Xian's bone age. He narrowed his eyes and tentatively asked, "Which fellow Daoist are you who has returned from Nirvana?"

Upon hearing this, the other supreme beings also realized what was happening and stopped paying attention to Amitabha Buddha, instead focusing on Lin Xian himself.

Quasi-Emperors are high above all living beings, but to Great Emperors they are just so-so. At least a dozen Quasi-Emperors have died under my command.

However, a hundred-year-old quasi-emperor is a different story; this simply doesn't conform to the logic of cultivation.

There may be a Great Sage who lives to be a hundred years old, but there is absolutely no Quasi-Emperor who lives to be a hundred years old. If such an emperor were to appear, there must be something extremely fishy going on.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality subconsciously believed that Lin Xian was not a person of this world. Even the Seven Emperors of the Primordial Beginning, who knew part of the truth, felt uneasy and began to have doubts.

Ye Fan is the reincarnation of an Emperor, but who is Lin Xian, an ancient Heavenly Emperor?
One after another, the aura of the ultimate Dao descended, as if the thirty-six heavens had collapsed, covering the vast universe and suppressing the nine heavens and ten earths. Even an ordinary quasi-emperor's physical body would explode at this moment.

"The Celestial Venerable of Immortality has misunderstood."

Lin Xian smiled slightly, his expression unchanged. His magical power surged like Mount Sumeru. He held a Chaos Green Lotus in his hand, from which countless immortal lights cascaded. He was as serene as a saint and said calmly, "I am a person of this world."

"A centenarian quasi-emperor of this era, why doesn't he claim to be a true immortal descended to earth?" The Eternal Life Celestial Venerable scoffed, completely disbelieving, then recited name after name, probing, "Nirvana? Spiritual Treasure? Ascension?"

The other lords of the forbidden zones also exchanged divine senses and proposed several names, all of whom were either renowned celestial beings or emperors who reigned over the universe; none of them were ordinary mortals.

All of them were enlightened beings who had not entered forbidden areas and had not explicitly passed away.

Lin Xian calmly rejected each of their arguments, saying indifferently, "The Heavenly Venerable is overthinking it."

"The reason why I, an old Taoist, have been able to live from the age of mythology to the present day is because I think a lot. The world is full of wonders, and the emergence of geniuses is truly amazing."

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality spoke softly, staring at Lin Xian for a long time, his mind filled with names. Seeing that Lin Xian rejected them one by one without any emotional fluctuation, his expression gradually became solemn.

Ignoring all the impossibilities, only one answer remained. After pondering for a long time, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality uttered a rare and unprecedented question: "Little Phoenix?"

In an instant, the Seven Emperors of the Primordial Era narrowed their eyes; such a possibility did indeed exist.

The Undying Emperor also possesses the bloodline of the Immortal Realm, matching Lin Xian's extensive knowledge, and their personalities are equally sinister.

"You jest, Celestial Venerable. The Immortal Emperor is still alive; how could he possibly be reincarnated?"

Lin Xian said leisurely, "I don't know about the other Supreme Beings, but back then, the Heavenly Venerable conspired with the Undying Emperor to assassinate the Emperor Venerable. He should have some clues."

"Yes, yes, how could that phoenix have died?"

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality nodded in relief, then his eyes suddenly turned terrifying, filled with the imagery of the rising and falling of the sun, moon, and stars, and the rotation of the universe. He exclaimed with an extremely imposing and oppressive aura, "Who exactly are you?!"

A wisp of energy soared into the sky. The ancient celestial venerable of the mythical era lived up to his name. Even now, his blood energy still surged to the heavens. If he hadn't gone astray, with his mastery of the "Zhe" character secret, living out a third life would not have been difficult.

"I have inherited the legacy of the Carefree Celestial Venerable."

Faced with the majesty of the Heavenly Venerable, Lin Xian did not retreat but instead advanced, stepping on the power of time, like a true dragon soaring up the river of time, roaming between heaven and earth, reaching the extreme of speed.

No matter how powerful the aura, attack, or pressure, it was always a step slower than Lin Xian, as if separated by a vast universe.

He stood above the heavens, pointing to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation: "He is an imposter."

"The Secret of the Character '行' (Xing), the Great Path of Time?"

The Venerable Ones of the Forbidden Zone of Life narrowed their eyes. Another person has emerged who has perfected the Secret of the Word of Travel. This life is truly interesting.

The path to immortality has begun, and sure enough, all sorts of demons and monsters have jumped out.

"This level of skill?"

Emperor Yungeng was slightly taken aback. His gaze toward Lin Xian held a hint of approval, as well as a trace of intense desire and greed.

Like, so similar.

If it weren't for the Supreme Being's extremely subtle control over the primordial spirit, and if the Ancient Emperor Yungeng dared to guarantee that he hadn't lost any memories, he would almost believe that he really had such a disciple.

"Your mastery of time is truly superb, reminding me of Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity's brow twitched, and he said meaningfully, "There is another possibility: you are the reincarnation of the Celestial Venerable of Freedom!"

In an instant, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone frowned deeply. If that were the case, then none of the Nine Heavenly Venerables would be simple.

Only Emperor Yunheng and Lin Xian laughed simultaneously.

But the next second, Emperor Yunheng could no longer laugh, because Lin Xian pointed directly at the Sea of ​​Reincarnation and laughed loudly: "Of course I can't be the Carefree Celestial Venerable, the Carefree Celestial Venerable is in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation!"

In an instant, all was silent. The Venerables looked at each other in bewilderment. The forbidden zone of the Reincarnation Sea was even weaker than the Undying Mountain, with only two Supreme Beings remaining.

The Lord of Reincarnation and the Eternal Emperor Yun!
The Lord of Reincarnation and the Ruthless Empress fought fiercely, employing all their methods, almost reaching the pinnacle of their abilities. Clearly, it couldn't be the Carefree Celestial Venerable; on the contrary, it was the Ancient Emperor Yunheng whose speed was at its peak.

"The Ancient Emperor Yungeng didn't just inherit the legacy of the Carefree Celestial Venerable; he *is* the Carefree Celestial Venerable." This correction from a disciple of the Carefree Celestial Venerable—is it betraying one's master and ancestors, or sacrificing one's own family for the greater good?

"Fellow Daoist Yunheng, you owe me an explanation!"

The Lord of Reincarnation said with a gloomy expression, "After experiencing many changes and almost having a life-or-death battle with the Empress, the source was actually a traitor within the forbidden zone."

The supreme beings have their pride and are not afraid of a battle, but that doesn't mean they are willing to be fools and used as pawns.

"Fellow Daoist Samsara is overthinking it."

Emperor Yunheng's heart stirred, but his expression remained unchanged as he coldly said, "This emperor shines brightly and has his own Great Dao. How could I possibly be the Carefree Celestial Venerable?"

"Those who are skilled in the Great Dao of Time have lived for countless ages, though not many. Wushi from 80,000 years ago was also proficient in time and space. Could he also be the Carefree Celestial Venerable? That's truly laughable."

A stone tablet rose from the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, engraved with imperial markings, proclaiming to the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone that his Dao and Dharma were brilliant, and his identity was beyond question.

Through countless reincarnations in the Three Realms, my name will be engraved in every lifetime, proclaiming to all the gods, and all the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will respect my command!
"Is this the scripture of Emperor Tian?"

In the Holy City, Ye Fan looked up in surprise. He had seen this kind of Dao before; it was the method of a young supreme being on the ancient star road.

The source is actually here.

The stone tablet rose and fell, the heavens surged, and a vast aura manifested. Countless heroic spirits appeared, and all the gods emerged, attacking Lin Xian.

This is both to give an explanation to the fellow Daoists in the forbidden zone and to punish the Quasi-Emperor who provoked the Supreme Being.

He planned to capture Lin Xian alive.

"Array up!"

Lin Xian shouted loudly, and the magical power on Mount Sumeru reached the heavens. The Great Emperor's array patterns in the Northern Region were connected, just like when Amitabha Buddha and I presided over the array to resist the Seven Emperors of the Primordial Era.

Centered on the Holy City, and including all races, the formations of one ancient royal family after another resonated, creating the appearance of a flawless imperial formation. It was not only the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe that was in charge, but also the supreme imperial weapons of various races that were responding.

"Fellow Daoists from the Primordial Ancient Mine, what are your intentions?"

Emperor Yungeng roared angrily, not expecting the resistance to come from inside the forbidden zone of life. This great ship of the forbidden zone was truly leaking everywhere.

"It was just something the kids set up for fun, please don't mind it, fellow Daoist."

Wanlong Emperor said innocently, "I have been in slumber all this time, as all of you fellow Daoists have witnessed."

"Yes, yes, it was all done by the subordinates on their own. What does it have to do with the emperors?"

The Ancient Emperor Qilin coughed softly and said, "Fellow Daoist Yunheng has misunderstood."

"It's just an imperial formation, a necessary skill for people like us, nothing special. But Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao, why are you making a move? Could it be that you want to kill me to silence me?"

The Golden Ancient Emperor's leisurely words revealed the doubts of all the supreme beings in the forbidden zones.

None of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the mythological era were simple; each one was more troublesome than the last.

The last of the Nine Celestial Venerables lived a second life and changed his title to Emperor Venerable. He was the strongest and established the Mythical Celestial Venerable.

Next is the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation Crossing, the first Heavenly Venerable, who can be called the teacher of all ages. Later, the Emperor's Corpse became spiritual and had a new name - the Underworld Emperor, who founded the Underworld.

There is also Lingbao Tianzun, whose four swords of Zhuxian combined can kill masters at the level of Wuque Dadi, as has been proven in history.

The Boundless Heavenly Venerable is revered by all Taoist sects since ancient times, and his status is comparable to that of Amitabha Buddha in Buddhism. The Big Dipper beneath their feet was created by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable after slaying the Chaos Body. His methods were heaven-defying and have influenced countless ages.

……

With the glorious achievements of his peers, how could the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone possibly underestimate the Nine Heavens Venerable?

Is the Ancient Emperor Yun Gen really the Carefree Celestial Venerable? If so, then the threat is far greater than that of an Emperor Array.

Emperor Yungeng's self-defense was quite convincing; each person's path is unique and almost impossible to change.

The Empress underwent several transformations, even changing her Dao and Dharma, which is why the Venerables did not recognize her as the Devouring Demon Emperor at first.

"The Great Dao is indeed unique, but what if the primordial spirit is not unique?"

Lin Xian said, "Seizing the body of an enlightened being and becoming him is just like the method of the Underworld Emperor, except that he focuses on the physical body, while you refine the primordial spirit."

“You are the Yunheng Ancient Emperor and the Carefree Celestial Venerable. You have done this kind of thing more than once.”

"I'm afraid there are some old acquaintances of yours in the forbidden zone of life."

Before the words were even finished, terrifying auras erupted from both the Forbidden Zone of the Heavens and the Forbidden Zone of the Divine Ruins.

Two supreme beings were enraged, their immortal light soaring into the sky, shaking the universe, and emitting terrifying sounds.

"It was you! You're still alive! There's a score I need to settle with you!"

"When I attained enlightenment, you came to seize my destiny. I never imagined you would still be alive!"

The sounds from within the forbidden zone caused the Great Saints of all the heavens and myriad realms to tremble, and even those who were supreme beings frowned.

Time and again, the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao actually managed to possess the body of a Supreme Being three times, and he even succeeded in the end. It's truly terrifying.

The Nine Heavenly Venerables are truly awe-inspiring.

"Hehe... Interesting, really interesting."

"In this life, I was hoping that little fellow Di Tian would achieve enlightenment, but I never expected that Heaven would give me such a surprise."

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it anymore. Emperor Yunheng, or rather, the Carefree Celestial Venerable, burst into unrestrained laughter. Ignoring the two supreme beings within the forbidden zones, he stared straight at Lin Xian: "Does this Celestial Venerable really have a secret disciple like you?"

"Could it be that when I possessed Yunheng's body, my primordial spirit made a mistake and I lost a part of my memories?"

The carefree Celestial Venerable openly admitted it, sending a chill down the spines of many. The Supreme Being feeds on all living beings and has survived to this day.

There are those who, without relying on darkness and turmoil, have targeted those who have attained enlightenment, and this practice continues to this day.

"Such a sophisticated method."

Some people praised it, while others cursed it.

"What a damn world!"

The old Golden Crow, spying near the Big Dipper in the void, cursed loudly, "Let whoever wants the throne in this life fight for it!"

A bunch of old fogies are huddled together, and there's even a treacherous fellow like the Carefree Celestial Venerable. Are they even letting those who are about to attain enlightenment live?

Tomorrow is the last day; I can be discharged on Monday.
