In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 611 [Two Worlds Coexisting, Other Shore Characteristics]

"Boom!"

Golden blood energy soared to the heavens, and a dreamlike scene reappeared in the mortal world. Some great saints who had sealed themselves in the divine source and lived to this age shed tears, as if they had returned to that ancient era in which heroes emerged one after another, and one great saint body after another. As soon as one emperor fell, another saint appeared.

The Great Accomplishment Holy Body can challenge the Great Emperor, and this is not just talk; it is a glory earned through fists and battle records!

Nine saints soared through the heavens, breaking through the firmament; at the end of all laws, the beginningless was revealed. These past three hundred thousand years have been the era of emperors, and even more so, the era of the Holy Body. Throughout history, no physique has been as glorious as this, with nine supreme beings, one Heavenly Emperor, and one Western Emperor emerging from one lineage.

"war!"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body roared, its eyes deep and unfathomable, like a dark universe. When its gaze collided with that of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, it seemed as if the sun, moon, and stars were being created and destroyed, and the heavens and earth were being torn apart. Its mere aura was enough to obliterate most of the Great Saints in the mortal world.

His black hair flew wildly, and his golden fist shook the ages, breaking all constraints and no less powerful than a strike from an emperor.

"How dare you! Your blood and energy are waning, yet you still dare to provoke me. You are merely an old Saint Body. Your physique is nothing to a Heavenly Venerable. Once you reach the stage of attaining the Dao, who isn't invincible? Even if a Chaos Body came, I would kill it without hesitation!"

The Carefree Celestial Venerable roared, believing himself to be no weaker than the Boundless Celestial Venerable. His silver hair danced wildly, his blood energy surged to the sky, and a treasure bottle made of immortal tears and green gold appeared in his palm. The Great Dao was boundless, devouring heaven and earth, and radiating incomparably dazzling immortal light.

Sonorous!

The fist of the Great Accomplished Holy Body collided with the Heavenly Venerable Weapon, and the sparks that flew out were enough to burn the entire star field. After the endless divine light dissipated, the Heavenly Venerable Treasure was not broken, and the Holy Fist did not bleed.

The physical body of the Holy Body is the foundation upon which their lineage is most proud. After rebuilding the five great secret realms, they are on par with the Emperor Body and invincible under heaven. Even if the Chaos Body comes, it can only surpass the Holy Body in terms of primordial spirit and magical power.

The other lords of the forbidden zones remained indifferent, showing no intention of making a move. They even hoped that the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the Carefree Celestial Venerable would perish together, thus eliminating two obstacles.

A foul-smelling and hard holy body, and an old and sinister celestial being, are neither good people.

The Lord of Reincarnation did want to help. Although the Carefree Celestial Venerable was a cunning old fox, he was still a member of the Reincarnation Sea. There were only two Supreme Beings in the Reincarnation Sea Forbidden Zone. If the Carefree Celestial Venerable died, his situation would be very awkward.

But just as he was about to move, the Empress suddenly revived and slapped him, forcing the Supreme Being to retreat, his expression quite unpleasant.

"Borrow the cycle of reincarnation for a moment!"

The Carefree Celestial Venerable shouted and used his treasure bottle to collect the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, which rippled with silver immortal light. Then he waved his hand towards the Holy Cliff, and a crystal-clear lake rose into the air, flew into the battlefield, and then merged with the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, making it completely different. It seemed to be able to reflect past and present lives, making people lose themselves!

"The Sea of ​​Reincarnation, the Lake of Reincarnation... These are things left behind by the Underworld Emperor."

A hint of apprehension appeared in the eyes of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality. There are three things in the world that are extremely strange and mysterious: the Lake of Reincarnation, the Pool of Divine Souls, and the Flying Immortal Waterfall. They are all products left behind by the ancient Heavenly Emperors in their pursuit of immortality. Even a supreme being would not want to get too involved with them.

"Reflecting the past, illuminating the present, and foreseeing the future!"

The Lake of Reincarnation and the Sea of ​​Reincarnation merged into one, as if they had gained life and a soul. The Great Accomplished Holy Body frowned, wanting to avoid it, but unexpectedly, the Carefree Celestial Venerable showed a strange smile on his lips, feinted with his spear, and also avoided the Great Accomplished Holy Body, and charged towards Mount Sumeru.

"Oh no, is his target Lord Lin?"

Inside the Holy City, Ye Fan realized something and his expression changed drastically. He wanted to use the power of the Azure Emperor to activate the Great Perfection Holy Body Mech of the Holy Cliff, but it was too late.

The Carefree Celestial Venerable is known for his unparalleled speed, breaking the cycle of time. No one in the mortal world can outrun him, not even the Great Perfection Holy Body, nor even the Flawless Emperor.

With the God Emperor in slumber, the Azure Emperor lying dead, the Empress lost and confused, and Wushi having wandered off to a strange world, who could stop the Carefree Celestial Venerable? Not a single person!

With a splash, the waters of reincarnation fell, engulfing Lin Xian and reflecting his past and present lives. The treasure bottle, forged from immortal tears and green gold, shimmered with silver immortal light, about to take him inside.

The Fuxi Dragon Stele trembled, instinctively resisting and temporarily resisting this power. In just a moment, the Reincarnation Water underwent another change, with wisps of ethereal light dancing and sweeping across the sky, covering the entire universe, as if someone had become an immortal.

Lin Xian was deeply engrossed, her eyes glazed over, somewhat bewildered, and she murmured softly, "Who am I? Who is me?"

"what's the situation?!"

In an instant, not only was the Carefree Celestial Venerable dumbfounded, but even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone did not expect that many of the old Supreme Beings who had been lying down would suddenly rise up and stare straight at Lin Xian.

The water of reincarnation reflects his past life, and such a strange phenomenon appears. Could he be a reincarnation of a true immortal?

Throughout history, countless people have been hailed as having divine talent, but that is merely a compliment; there have never been any immortals in all of eternity, they are nothing but illusions.

"The path to immortality, could it be related to true immortals, requiring a reincarnated being to guide the way?"

The Venerable Ones were shaken and began to speculate. Dozens of powerful auras surged towards the starry sky, preventing the Carefree Celestial Venerable from acting on his own. Although they were not as fast as the Carefree Celestial Venerable, they had the advantage of numbers, surrounding him from all directions without any blind spots, giving the Carefree Celestial Venerable no chance to make a move.

The strange changes in the Reincarnation Water startled many people. In the Holy City, a bloated, fat Taoist priest felt extremely guilty and muttered, "The Reincarnation Lake has this function?"

These words drew countless eye-rolls. His grandmother's Underworld Emperor was truly wicked. Lingbao Tianzun was right; this fatso was the root of all evil.

The sound of rushing water arose, no longer the water of reincarnation, but the torrent of time, sweeping in like a long river. It was the manifestation of the laws of the Great Dao, the long river of time, the long river of history, and the long river of destiny!

This level of power is something that even the Human Emperor can only grasp in the slightest, while only the Immortal Emperor can completely manipulate it.

"This...how is this possible?"

The carefree celestial being's expression shifted unpredictably, from initial confusion to later terror, then burning with fervor, until finally he stared intently at the endless river, wishing he could plunge into it.

He opened the Secret Word Formation, which is said to be the ultimate form of Yin and Yang, and can summon the River of Time. It is already the limit of the Heavenly Venerable of the Human Path. If you want to touch it, you have to be a Celestial King. Even a True Immortal would not dare to set foot in it.

"when!"

It seemed as if a distant bell tolled, echoing through the ages, startling everyone. Some knowledgeable cultivators exclaimed, "A celestial bell?"

Only this celestial artifact can correspond to the Great Dao of Time.

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone suddenly looked up. If he could master a celestial artifact, it would be of great help in attacking the path to immortality. One divine thought after another swept through the universe, but unfortunately, he gained nothing.

The celestial bell was only glimpsed briefly; if it were so easily found, it would not have remained unclaimed for countless ages.

"Look!"

Suddenly, a solemn voice rang out, parting the mist. The entire universe was undergoing a transformation. The Lake of Reincarnation seemed to bring not only the River of Time, but also a universe from a past life.

The golden crow ascends, the jade rabbit revolves, stars evolve, chaos is created, and the long river of time flows through it all—a truly magnificent spectacle. A universe appears and disappears, heroes rise, myriad races stand tall, saints vie for supremacy, the heavens and earth tremble, and amidst blood and chaos, an extremely ancient song resounds: "The ancient Supreme One, the beginning of the people. The imperial system was established, and the moral order was established..."

Chaotic energy rippled, like the creation of the world. A willow tree stood tall and straight, with three thousand green branches hanging down, shimmering with the radiance of the Great Dao, as dazzling as a divine chain of order, as if forged from celestial gold.

"Wasn't Lord Lin a human in his previous life?"

"In his previous life, Lin Xian was a willow tree."

"Liu Xian?!"

One voice after another rang out, some excited, some confused, some furious, all different, reflecting the myriad expressions of life, yet all gazing toward the deepest part of the river of time.

The willow tree appeared and disappeared intermittently, the only source of color being a figure beneath it, dressed in a robe adorned with a hundred beasts, wearing an ancient crown that looked extremely simple, held together only by a single branch, exuding an aura of wild antiquity.
As their eyes met, Lin Xian, who had been confused, suddenly trembled, as if she understood something, and said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."

"I see."

The primitive man under the tree smiled knowingly, slowly stood up, the chaotic energy dissipated, revealing his true appearance, which was exactly the same as Lin Xian's. They exclaimed in unison, "So that's how it is!"

Who am I? Who is me?
I am Lin Xian, and Lin Xian is me.

In the vast void, it seemed as if two universes coexisted, one appearing to be the past but actually the future, the other appearing to be the future but actually the present. Time had lost its meaning at this moment, like parallel universes that should not have interacted, yet two parallel lines unexpectedly collided.

In the Undying Mountain, the ancient and still Amitabha Buddha, who looked like a clay sculpture, slowly raised his head, a glimmer of colorful light appearing in his eyes, and then nodded and said, "The characteristics of the other shore."

"Two generations stand side by side." The Fuxi Dragon Stele, sensing this, emitted a series of dragon roars and shouts, shaking the long river of time.

With a rumble, the river of time collapsed in an instant, and the illusory universe returned to a single point, like a dream, as if nothing had ever happened. Lin Xian's eyes gradually brightened, and he suddenly realized, "I am Lin Xian, and Lin Xian is me."

Strands of time's power enveloped him, and he wore a purple-gold crown, wielding a celestial blade. He reigned supreme over the Big Dipper, resembling a heavenly emperor, dazzling to the extreme.

Did he become an immortal?

"No, he's still a quasi-emperor, pitifully weak."

"Then why is there such a strange phenomenon?"

The supreme beings in the Beidou Forbidden Zone were discussing among themselves, unable to contain their curiosity, but they were in no hurry to make a move, because there were others who were even more anxious than they were.

One after another, the supreme divine thoughts dissipated. Without the suppression of more than thirty supreme beings, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable was rejuvenated and displayed divine power. Stepping on the Xingzi Secret, each step seemed to traverse a universe, aiming to capture Lin Xian and see what was going on.

"It's destined that you'll always be one step behind me."

Lin Xian's voice was ethereal and otherworldly, as if it did not exist in this universe. He fell from an infinite height, and his figure was always in front of the Carefree Celestial Venerable, always one second faster than time.

"What the hell!"

Many powerful figures cursed, saying that a Quasi-Emperor was faster than a Supreme, which completely overturned the cultivation system.

Is this still using one's own body as a seed? Is this still a secret realm technique? Is this still "Covering the Sky"?!

"What kind of magic is this?!"

The more the Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao pursued, the more terrified he became. He shouted and asked, "There has never been such a Daoist method throughout history. From the time the Celestial Venerable of Tribulation began to spread the Dao, all the Daoist methods of time from the mythological era to the present have been transmitted by this Celestial Venerable. They have gone from complex to simple and from simple to complex. There is no exception like you."

"Having cultivated a form like a crane, I sit beneath a thousand pines with two volumes of scriptures. I come to inquire about the Dao, but there is nothing more to say; clouds float in the blue sky, water swirls in the bottle." Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely, "Are you the only one who is supreme, the Dao Venerable, the Heavenly Venerable?"

"And which era are you from, you old monster!" The carefree Celestial Venerable's eyes were solemn as he said in a deep voice, "The Chaotic Ancient Era, or the ancient Immortal Ancient Era?"

Modern beings know very little about ancient history, but the Nine Celestial Venerables are different; traces of prehistoric times can still be found in their era.

"Who am I? Who am I? Does this question even matter?"

"There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."

Lin Xian smiled slightly and said calmly, "The Celestial Venerable of Morality said something good: 'All things under heaven are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence. Non-existence is the beginning of heaven and earth; existence is the mother of all things.'"

"Our true nature is empty; how can there be a self or other?!"

In an instant, the Carefree Celestial Venerable was stunned as if struck by divine lightning. He didn't even chase after Lin Xian. In the midst of chaos, he seemed to grasp a glimmer of light and saw butterflies fluttering about, but they were elusive and untouchable.

For a moment, the carefree Celestial Venerable felt an intense urge to seek the Dao and subconsciously asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, how does one attain emptiness?"

When the carefree Celestial Venerable came to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh. He had actually sought answers from the enemy; how ridiculous! It really was true that old habits die hard.

The legacy of the mythological era influences every Celestial Venerable, including the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Longevity Celestial Venerable. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many grudges and affections with the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

"Do you want to learn? I'll teach you." Lin Xian said calmly, "The universe is but a dream, and killing yourself is the end of that dream."

Suicide truly means the end of all worldly desires.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone couldn't help but sneer, taking it as Lin Xian toying with the Carefree Celestial Venerable and mocking his enemy.

However, the Supreme Beings were stunned the next second. Not only them, but also the sages of all the heavens and myriad realms, Ye Fan, Duan De and others in the Holy City, and almost all the beings who could see the battlefield outside the realm were dumbfounded. Even Lin Xian was caught off guard.

One of the nine Heavenly Venerables of the mythical era, a forbidden zone expert who possessed the body of an ancient emperor and lived a third life, the lofty and supreme Daoist, the Carefree Heavenly Venerable, actually bowed deeply to a quasi-emperor!
Before countless sages and quasi-emperors, before all the supreme beings throughout history, the Carefree Celestial Venerable, like an apprentice, performed the teacher's salute and said with utmost sincerity, "Disciple Carefree seeks guidance from Master."

For a moment, everyone fell silent. After a long while, the ancient emperor, who had been possessed by the carefree Celestial Venerable but had failed, sighed, "Was the desire for the Dao in the mythological era so unwavering?"

Ancient emperors valued their reputation highly; sometimes, even becoming an immortal was not as satisfying as a battle.

If pushed to the extreme, some people might actually reach the pinnacle of self-improvement.

But now, the carefree Celestial Venerable is putting his pride aside and gambling on a one in ten thousand chance that his enemy might actually answer him.

Whether we succeed or not, this moment and this scene will be recorded in history, witnessed by all the heavens and the myriad realms.
