In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 617 [Send Wan Qing!]

The Immortal Mausoleum is a forbidden zone for life, where several ancient emperors and celestial beings are buried. Countless heroes and powerful figures throughout history have ventured into it, only to find themselves lost forever, never to emerge again. Even the great emperors of antiquity treated it with utmost caution.

Lin Xian now calmly stepped in, even extorting the Ancient Emperor and blackmailing the Heavenly Venerable. This audacity shocked many people and aroused the awe of cultivators from all realms.

"War reparations? What an arrogant statement!"

The Immortal Tomb Supreme snorted coldly and said, "Even the great emperors of the human race in the past might not have dared to utter such a word."

The majestic imperial aura emanated from it, and one after another, brilliant immortal light pierced through the thirty-three heavens of the great universe, suppressing the world. It was not just one or two beams, but at least five or six imperial might beams. Ordinary quasi-emperors would have had their physical bodies explode and their primordial spirits perish under such pressure.

Lin Xian, however, felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, disregarding the emperor's power as if it were nothing. He strolled around the Immortal Mausoleum as if he were visiting his own backyard. This place had large hills and stone tablets, all of which were extremely tall. One ancient tomb after another, none of them very tall, were all very imposing. Some were shrouded in yin energy, while others were surrounded by auspicious clouds. It was said to be the mausoleum of various immortals that had been left over from the chaotic ancient period before the mythological era.

This place is extremely mysterious and is believed to be the burial site of ancient immortals. Although all the graves are empty, people believe that it is because the immortals ascended to heaven and left no trace of their bodies.

Lin Xian disagreed; he even had a vague idea of ​​the true origin of the Immortal Tomb.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at an ancient prehistoric stone tablet, saying as he looked at it, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. When the Emperor ruled the universe at the end of the mythological era, did you have the same attitude?"

“Young man, stop being so arrogant. The ancient Heavenly Court is the ancient Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court you have established does not even have a single emperor in this era.”

Deep within a tomb, an old woman with strange attire and sparse white hair rebuked, "The Immortal Tomb is neither the Sea of ​​Reincarnation nor the Mountain of Immortality; it is not that empty."

"It's her, Immortal, she's still alive."

The supreme beings of the other forbidden zones were astonished. Throughout the ages, there have been very few female cultivators who have attained enlightenment, and they always leave a deep impression on people.

The immortal once attained the Dao and became an emperor in the early ancient times. She was also a stunning goddess with unparalleled beauty and grace. Now, in order to conserve her blood and energy, she is unwilling to even maintain her appearance, for fear of wasting a single bit of magic power.

"Beauties, like famous generals, are not allowed to grow old in this world."

Within the Divine Ruins, the Spirit Emperor sighed. He was a Spiritual Saint who had attained enlightenment and was known as the Spirit God. This was a custom from the early Primordial Era, very close to the time of the Immortals. He had seen this old woman in her youth, when she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Who in this world can escape death? How many people in this world can achieve immortality?
No matter how stunningly beautiful you are, or how captivating you are, in the end you will all turn into a skeleton; no matter how great you are, or how powerful you are, or how much you possess, in the end you will all turn into a handful of dust.

"The Immortal Mausoleum is not so empty, but your glory has come to an end, while our brilliance continues to soar!"

"This era is filled with golden splendor, this era's path to immortality is wide open, and outstanding figures from all ages have gathered here. The most exceptional among them are already capable of challenging even the supreme beings!"

Lin Xian laughed loudly and pointed at the Mythical Battlefield, saying, "Look at those three. Which one of them is even slightly weaker than you were back then? They're on their final leap, just one step away from becoming emperors. They will be even stronger in the future, invincible throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"This is the true essence of the Golden Age: emperors standing side by side, the Heavenly Court rising again, all the venerable ones gathering, creating new glory, opening up unprecedented miracles, using human power to pave the way to immortality, achieving the ultimate goal of the cultivation world, this is the true path to immortality in the mortal world!"

"The forbidden zone of life is indeed powerful, but it is no longer the strongest. In this life, I must bow my head and compromise!"

Lin Xian's voice was passionate and deafening, not only resounding throughout the Immortal Mausoleum but also spreading throughout the Big Dipper, echoing over every forbidden zone.

This sent a chill down the spines of some supreme beings whose blood and energy were waning. Even those with vigorous blood and energy frowned deeply, worrying about the future.

They have already cut themselves off and can no longer improve. On the other hand, the Heavenly Court is full of experts and strong people, and it will reach its peak in a few years.

Amitabha Buddha, Gai Jiuyou, Old Golden Crow, Great Completion Holy Body, First Divine General Chuan Ying... These are just the obvious powerhouses. If another thousand or hundred years pass, and Ye Fan's Holy Body is perfected, and other geniuses attain the quasi-emperor level, the universe will usher in the most magnificent moment in all eternity.

The Immortal Song of Tribulation Resounded with a powerful clang, as people struggled to cross the mortal realm and break free from the shackles of reincarnation. A golden crow roamed across the nine heavens and ten earths, its light illuminating all the heavens and myriad realms. Its imperial aura was overwhelming. There was also the Great Accomplished Holy Body, whose Six Paths Reincarnation Fist shook the heavens and earth, shattering everything. Even the immortal robes were almost torn apart.

"What do you want?"

Chaos rippled within the Immortal Tomb, and an ancient war chariot slowly emerged, upon which sat a Taoist priest with a celestial sword resting across his knees, his entire body shrouded in chaos.

"I have long admired the name of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, and I have also obtained the secret of the character '者' from you. Considering this, how about I give you a 10% discount or a 40% discount at your Immortal Mausoleum?"

Lin Xian smiled and said, "This is the most favorable treatment in the forbidden zone. If we don't sign the agreement now, and wait until my Holy Body is fully developed before coming back, the price won't be this high."

"Venerable Ones of the Immortal Mausoleum, do not say you were not warned!"

The corner of the Changsheng Heavenly Venerable's mouth twitched. In all his years of life, this was the first Quasi-Emperor who dared to threaten him so blatantly. Even the Undying Heavenly Emperor, before he attained enlightenment, was extremely respectful in front of him.

"What do you want?" The Celestial Venerable of Immortality took a deep breath and said, "The Immortal Tomb has neither the elixir of immortality nor immortal gold, only a group of Daoists."

"The Celestial Venerable was once the Lord of the Underworld, so he must have some understanding of the unification of chaos. And he should also have the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill formula from the ancient Heavenly Court, right? It doesn't matter if we don't have the Immortal Gold Elixir of Immortality; a few Imperial Scriptures will do." Lin Xian smiled slightly, knowing the depths of the Immortal Tomb Forbidden Zone like the back of his hand, even more so than the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone. He leisurely said, "That's all for now..."

The supreme beings within the Immortal Tomb were almost laughing in anger. "Is that all? How much more do you want? You almost ripped the Immortal Tomb forbidden area off of its wealth."

However, how could this guy know so much about the forbidden area? The eyes of the several supreme beings flickered as they looked at their companions, suspecting that there was a traitor among them who was secretly colluding with the Heavenly Court.

"These things can be given to you." The voice of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity rang out, startling the other Venerables. You dare to sign such a humiliating imperial treaty? Just when the Venerables were about to fight to the death, why did the Lord of the Immortal Tomb defect?
Could it be that you're a spy for the Heavenly Court?
“However…” The Celestial Venerable of Immortality paused, and the old Taoist on the chariot opened his deep eyes. A flash of light appeared, as if the world had just been created, illuminating the entire Immortal Mausoleum. His voice was deep and heavy: “This old Taoist has one condition.”

"Please speak, Celestial Venerable." Lin Xian raised his head, quite curious about what the Celestial Venerable of Immortality wanted.

"What does the inscription on that stone tablet mean?" The Celestial Venerable of Longevity suddenly became majestic, as if the mythical Celestial Venerable who reigned over the universe had descended to the mortal world to become an unparalleled human emperor once again!
The aura of imperial power flowed, and the immortal tomb responded. Some stone tablets shone with light, as if they bore traces of immortal power!

The stone tablet in front of Lin Xian also shone and rotated, with a line of large characters on it, which seemed to be the name of the tomb owner, and a line of smaller characters below it, which should be his past achievements and glory.

"The name on this stele?" Lin Xian circled the inscription twice, pretending to ponder, her brows furrowed, and asked suspiciously with a hint of uncertainty, "It seems to be—the Tomb of Jiu Daoyi!"

The Tomb of Jiudaoyi!

Before the words were finished, divine thunder roared in the void, as if it had touched a taboo in the dark, making all the venerable ones of the Immortal Mausoleum feel a chill. When they checked with their divine senses, the thunder had disappeared, as if nothing had happened and it was just an illusion.

After a long silence, several ancient books imbued with celestial light flew out from several tombs in the Immortal Mausoleum, containing the wisdom and understanding of the supreme beings.

Lin Xian took the book and flipped through it casually. Very good, it was written in the script of the mythological era. He couldn't understand it, but that didn't matter; he had an archaeology expert at home, and these questions wouldn't stump him. He tucked the Imperial Scripture into his robes and asked casually, "The Heavenly Venerable asked me a question, so I'll ask the Heavenly Venerable a question in return. How many large tombs in this Immortal Mausoleum are there that can accommodate a Supreme Being?"

The Immortal Mausoleum's venerable figures raised an eyebrow. What did this mean? Were they testing the Immortal Mausoleum's true strength? They believed the number of Imperial Path cultivators was incorrect.

"When the old Taoist priest obtained this area of ​​immortal tombs, there were thirteen large tombs that still possessed vitality and flowed with immortal life force."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity sighed, “Throughout the ages, seven fellow Daoists have entered this place one after another, and all of them eventually passed away. Do not be fooled by your current vigorous vitality; the time when the sun sets in the west will come very soon.”

"In the blink of an eye, my body is getting worse day by day, and only the path to immortality is real."

"The Heavenly Court, heh heh, will eventually have to go down this path too."

"We'll see when the time comes." Lin Xian smiled calmly: "Perhaps I am a miracle, able to ascend to immortality amidst the mortal world."

“Every Celestial Venerable thought the same way when they were young.” The Celestial Venerable of Longevity laughed loudly. Having lived for so many years, he had seen too many of the great emperors of his time grow old.

In his prime during his first life, he was full of vigor and arrogance, believing that everyone in the forbidden zone was useless and that just because the Venerables could not become immortals did not mean that he could.

In his later years in his second life, nearing the end of his lifespan, he honestly accepted his fate, came to the forbidden zone to borrow a bed, and had a few brothers as roommates. A million years later, they worked together to conquer the path to immortality.

"I am not the Celestial Venerable," Lin Xian said with a calm smile. "I am the Holy Lord Lin."

"The imperial covenant has been signed, so there's no need for you all to see me off." Lin Xian waved his hand, then picked up an ancient stone tablet, carried it on his back, and headed towards another forbidden area.

The stone tablet also exudes an ethereal aura, as if it were the work of a true immortal. The profound Taoist charm on it is interwoven and intricate, ultimately outlining five large characters—Tomb of the High Priest!

Watching Lin Xian's departing figure, the divine senses of the various venerable beings of the Immortal Mausoleum engaged in a heated discussion.

"How did the probing go?" the Fairy Granny asked.

“He is undoubtedly an ancient monster from the Chaotic Era!” The Celestial Venerable of Longevity narrowed his eyes and said, “Even the Nine Celestial Venerables can only vaguely recognize this kind of ancient script, but he looked at it piece by piece. He is definitely not a person of this era.”

The moment Lin Xian emerged from the Immortal Mausoleum, the world erupted in commotion. The saints exclaimed in astonishment, "For so many years, besides the Great Emperor of the Human Race, another person has emerged who can emerge unscathed from the forbidden zone of life!"

It's unbelievable that the Supreme Being of the Immortal Mausoleum would allow a Quasi-Emperor to come and go as he pleases.

"The Heavenly Court's power is now firmly established," an old sage remarked.

"The forbidden zone is no longer the only will in the world." Some young sages also had their eyes flashing. The current pattern of the universe has changed. It is no longer a single power, but multiple powers. Joining the Heavenly Court is not a bad path.

"Look, after Lord Lin left the Immortal Mausoleum, he went to the Divine Ruins." A sage from the Big Dipper exclaimed in surprise. This is not the end, but merely the beginning.

Lin Xian made no attempt to conceal his presence. He swaggered into the Divine Ruins, causing tension not only among the world's inhabitants but also among the deities of the Divine Ruins.

It's not because of Lin Xian, but because of the Azure Emperor behind Lin Xian!
Back then, the Azure Emperor killed two Holy Spirits and seized the Desolate Tower. How arrogant he was! He forged a deadly feud with the Forbidden Zone of the Divine Ruins.

This place is filled with ruins and traces of the Dao. There is a huge South Heavenly Gate, which is a relic of the ancient Heavenly Court. It fell here in the past, and the Daoist aura of the Emperor flows here, never to be destroyed for eternity.

The ruins are boundless; this place was once a paradise for the gods, but after the fall of the ancient celestial court, it was occupied by the Supreme Being.

Lin Xian arrived at the gate of the Divine Ruins, but instead of going in completely, he shouted, "By the decree of the Azure Emperor, the Heavenly Court is to be rebuilt. The Supreme Being of the Divine Ruins must relocate within three days and return the Heavenly Court palace!"

"joke!"

"How brave!"

"Junior is seeking death!"

"How dare a quasi-emperor be so disrespectful to the supreme being."

The supreme being of the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone was enraged, unleashing wave after wave of unparalleled auras that soared into the sky, even more powerful than those of the Immortal Tomb, and filled with overwhelming blood energy, making him truly extraordinary.

With a thunderous roar, the Divine Ruins were ablaze with celestial light and countless auspicious rays. An ancient war chariot flew out, spreading out amidst the vast chaos. Sitting cross-legged on the chariot was a middle-aged man with long black hair, vigorous blood energy, and eyes as bright as lightning.

Despite being a self-severed supreme being, there was no sign of his blood energy decaying; on the contrary, he was extremely perfect.

A Great Perfection Holy Spirit who has attained the Dao and become an Emperor is slightly superior to ordinary Daoists. This is a Spirit Emperor, whose strength is comparable to that of the Stone Emperor of the Undying Mountain.

"Did the Heavenly Court mistake the Divine Ruins for the Sea of ​​Reincarnation?"

The Spirit Emperor shouted, and a dazzling celestial light appeared. It was the power of flying immortals and the light of ascension. He was one of the Ascension Emperors who discussed the Dao with the Holy Spirit Emperors back then.

"They think they can get the Supreme Being to move with just a decree? The Heavenly Court is too arrogant."

The Lord of the Divine Ruins coldly snorted, "Send Wan Qing here!"

The Supreme Will was incredibly strong and refused to compromise. It was also a test of the Azure Emperor's condition to see if Wan Qing was in perfect condition.
Layer upon layer of imperial formations shone brilliantly, guarded by supreme imperial weapons, with the Southern Heavenly Gate hanging high above, as if an ancient heavenly court was rising and falling, and the Great Dao of the Emperor was flowing. Unless a flawless Great Emperor came, no one could enter.

"Why bother the Green Emperor with his own actions?"

Lin Xian turned around and looked at him with a smile, saying, "Xiaoyao, are you willing to take action?"

"I'll give it a try." The Carefree Celestial Venerable raised an eyebrow, stepped on the Xingzi Secret Technique, and it seemed as if a long river of time had sprung up beneath his feet, rushing into the forbidden zone of the Divine Ruins. There were many formations inside, which were like a bitter sea universe that could hold back the steps of a supreme being.

The Celestial Venerable crossed the Sea of ​​Bitterness, his physical body adorned with countless celestial lights, resembling an unparalleled god. The combined power of the various emperors unleashed a dazzling brilliance, densely packed and overwhelming, like a net. Even the Dao patterns of the emperors appeared. Despite the rapid passage of time and the overwhelming power of magic, a corner of his robe was still cut off.

The carefree Celestial Venerable was startled. He stepped out of the Emperor Formation and sighed, "What a dangerous Divine Ruins! It's as terrifying as the ancient Heavenly Court back then. Although I can come and go freely, I cannot break through this Emperor Formation."
