In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 618 [Removal from the Forbidden Zone]

Unlike the weak forbidden zone of the Reincarnation Sea, the Divine Ruins Forbidden Zone is powerful and very united. Most of the ancient emperors who attained enlightenment in the early Primordial Era share the same values ​​and compatible personalities. And there is one extremely important point: they have a common enemy—the Azure Emperor!
In the past, when the Azure Emperor entered the Divine Ruins, passed through the Southern Heavenly Gate, and leaped into the Heavenly Palace, he killed two true Great Perfection Saint Spirits under the Immortal Peach Tree and seized the Immortal Artifact, the Desolate Tower, thus forging a great enmity.

In the subsequent revenge in the Forbidden Zone of the Divine Ruins, the Supreme One used underhanded tactics, causing the once glorious Qingdi lineage to decline, leaving only a handful of insignificant individuals. When Yan Ruyu appeared, there wasn't even a single guardian on the Immortal Platform, making them comparable to the Sun God Cult of the Ziwei Emperor Star.

If the lineage of the Azure Emperor continues to decline, that's fine. Millions of years have passed since the Underworld King slaughtered the Sun Quasi-Emperor, and he remains unscathed. The law of the jungle is the truth of the universe.

The problem is that the Azure Emperor seems to have risen from the dead, and has even become the mastermind behind the scenes, plotting the path to immortality and leading the establishment of the new Heavenly Court. His ambitions are enormous and his cunning is extremely deep. If the Azure Emperor were to return to his peak like Amitabha Buddha one day, which supreme being of the Divine Ruins would not be terrified?

"This humble Taoist priest has ultimately lived up to the promise of his prime."

The carefree Celestial Venerable was at ease, but ultimately could not break through. He couldn't help but sigh, recalling his glorious past. Back then, he could soar to the heavens and explore the netherworld, his Light of Time traversing the world. Which forbidden zone of life didn't give him some respect?

"The years are like a sword cutting down the proud ones, and the path to eternal life is full of enchantment."

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality also shook his head. As one of the nine Celestial Venerables of the same mythological era, he could empathize with the situation. Once one's blood and energy decline and one's combat power is gone, many things become irreversible.

"When will this path to immortality ever end..."

An old venerable being murmured, "In this life, can we see any hope?!"

"There's no mistake. It's not just the forbidden zones of life that are fighting over it; the Azure Emperor is also making his plans." The Celestial Venerable of Longevity said confidently, "Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Court be rebuilt in this lifetime? There is a huge causal connection between becoming an immortal and the Heavenly Court."

“In the chaotic ancient era, there was the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty. The Desolate Heavenly Emperor ascended to immortality. In the end of the mythological era, the Emperor Venerable forged the Heavenly Court. If it weren’t for the fact that we, along with a few others, joined forces with the Immortal Realm Ruler to stop him, he really could have broken in.”

"In this life, the Heavenly Court has risen again, and it seems that the Azure Emperor also has this in mind."

"The Azure Emperor, Wan Qing, is truly a man of deep cunning and shrewdness..." Mentioning this name, the Venerables of the Forbidden Zone were extremely wary, believing that all the events before them were deliberately orchestrated by the Azure Emperor, who had conspired with the Amitabha Buddha Emperor to stage this grand drama.

“We underestimated Wan Qing in the past. He not only has amazing combat power, but also amazing wisdom.”

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality solemnly said, "The elimination of forbidden zones is the best example of this. As the Lord of Reincarnation once said, today's Sea of ​​Reincarnation may very well be tomorrow's Immortal Tomb, Divine Ruins, Undying Mountain, Primordial Ancient Mine, Burial Island... Fellow Daoists, the path to immortality is about to open, we must remain united."

The Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone appeared nonchalant, but inwardly they all sneered. If the Azure Emperor was the greatest enemy, then you, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, were not.

The Heavenly Court is related to becoming an immortal. The previous ruler of the Heavenly Court became an immortal, so why didn't the Emperor become an immortal? It's because you secretly caused trouble. You are just as cunning as the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.

There are no allies on the path to immortality. If there is only one spot for immortality, then everyone else becomes a suspect enemy!
Only under the immense pressure from the Azure Emperor did the Venerables of the Divine Ruins temporarily maintain an unprecedented unity. One after another, supreme imperial weapons shone with immortal light, dominating the formation. Unless a flawless Heavenly Venerable descended, no one could break through it.

"It seems we won't be able to take the Immortal Tree with us today, and we won't be able to hold the Peach Banquet."

Lin Xian used the Origin Heaven Divine Eye to look at the old tree deep in the Divine Ruins through the Emperor Array with reluctance. His path was related to the formation of his own Immortal Realm, and he needed to rely on the power of the Immortal Kings of the Heavens. The more immortal medicine he had, the greater his chances of success.

"If you can't take the peach tree with you, you can move the South Heavenly Gate!"

The carefree Celestial Venerable suddenly spoke, pointing to the outer edge of the Divine Ruins, where the Southern Heavenly Gate stood majestically, half-collapsed. This ancient Celestial Venerable knew many secrets, and slowly said, "The Southern Heavenly Gate bears the Daoist aura of the Emperor, but it is itself even more ancient. It was moved here by the Emperor from the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court, and perhaps it holds the secret to becoming an immortal."

"The Divine Ruins come from another world; it is the most ancient Heavenly Court!"

"The Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court?"

Lin Xian's eyes lit up. He summoned the stone tablet he had found in the Immortal Tomb, which emitted boundless immortal light. The light caused the void to ripple, and the resulting ripples made the South Heavenly Gate shine brightly, creating a resonance.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the deities of the Divine Ruins, the Southern Heavenly Gate swayed precariously, as if it were about to grow legs and fly away. Suddenly, it erupted with divine radiance, causing the plaque made of immortal gold to shake and fall, revealing its back.

On the back of the South Heavenly Gate plaque, there is clearly an ancient inscription, which is a divine pattern from the chaotic ancient era, flowing with a supreme Daoist charm and containing the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Haotian Sect?!"

Lin Xian stared at those words with a strange expression, and couldn't help but read them aloud. As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Gate seemed to have received some kind of command, and its radiance soared into the sky, penetrating all thirty-three heavens. Even the Emperor's Formation could not stop this immortal aura.

"what happened?!"

"Could someone in the Divine Ruins have become an immortal?"

The various forbidden zones of life trembled. Amidst countless shocked gazes, the Heavenly Gate soared into the sky, ignoring the constraints of the Emperor's Array, transforming into a beam of immortal light that fell into Lin Xian's palm, reflecting the brilliance of the stone tablet behind him.

"My God, even the gate to the Divine Ruins has been taken over by Holy Master Lin!"

"The facade of the penalty area is gone!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the saints couldn't help but exclaim in shock. As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit someone in the face. Forcibly demolishing the Divine Ruins would create a deadly feud with the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone, and retaliation would come sooner or later.

"They are mortal enemies to begin with. The karma between the Azure Emperor lineage will be settled on the path to immortality in the future. Today, we'll collect some interest first."

Lin Xian snorted coldly, then transformed into a beam of divine light, stepping onto the rainbow bridge and flying towards the Eastern Wilderness Sky, heading towards the heavens.

Burial Sky Island is a giant island that floats in the sky above the Eastern Wilderness, usually hidden in the void and invisible.

Its main body resembles a giant coffin, while the nine mountain ranges extending outwards resemble nine-headed dragons, majestic and imposing, extremely powerful and awe-inspiring.

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin..." Lin Xian sighed, "This place is destined for me."

Most of the so-called forbidden zones of life are related to the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. Only this immortal in the mortal world could leave behind immortal energy for longevity in the Dharma-ending Age.

Later generations of supreme beings, relying on their keen intuition, discovered these traces of immortality, thus prolonging their own lives. They then took over these areas, creating forbidden zones.

Burial Sky Island is the main training ground of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and it has left behind an exceptionally large amount of vital energy, which has nourished a great number of Supreme Beings, a total of nine!

Nine celestial beings, ancient emperors, and great emperors each occupy a dragon vein, hidden in the Pure Land, forming an awe-inspiring force, poised to unleash their power.

At the center of the coffin-shaped island is an ancient cave, filled with ethereal mist that rises upwards, shrouded in rosy light, making it look mysterious and strange.

This is even more terrifying than the Forbidden Zone of the Divine Ruins. It is a manifestation of a source technique that could transform into Imperial Dragon Qi at any moment to suppress and kill.

This forbidden zone is second only to the Primordial Ancient Mine, and its terror is beyond measure; it is equivalent to a combination of the Immortal Tomb and the Divine Ruins.

"Heaven has no affinity with Buddhism, please return."

The Lord of Heaven spoke in a very cold voice, saying that the nine dragon veins were merging together, almost rushing into the Immortal Realm, breaking through the universe, and leaving this world.

“Excellent, excellent. This place has no connection with Buddhism, but it has a connection with me.”

Lin Xian smiled slightly and said, "I don't want much now, just a trace of immortal energy."

After a moment of silence, Burial Sky Island released a wisp of immortal energy.

In the past, the Supreme Being would rather die than give up this longevity substance, but this life is different. There are still a hundred years left on the path to immortality.

At least half of the supreme beings in the heavens will be born to compete for the opportunity to become immortals, leaving many slots vacant. As a result, there is an abundance of immortal energy.

The moment the immortal energy appeared, it attracted the attention of all the supreme beings in the forbidden zones. Many people wanted to snatch it, but at that very moment, the mythical battlefield roared, and a blood-red light shone brightly, illuminating most of the universe! Gai Jiuyou, the old Golden Crow, and Ye Fan were retreating because the Lord of Reincarnation had fallen into madness and reached the final moment.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Reincarnation destroys everything; the underworld is the final resting place for all spirits!"

"If it fails, hahaha, may this entire universe be as desolate as I am!"

The Lord of Reincarnation's eyes were bloodshot, filled with madness. No longer maintaining the demeanor of a great emperor, he roared like a demon king, charging out of the mythical battlefield, towards the vast universe, towards the endless chaos, towards the unseen void.

He wanted to use his last bit of strength to fight his way into another world, to defy fate and try to become an immortal.

It is both the creation and the destruction of the world!
Boundless radiance burst forth, burying everything, including the Supreme Being and his dream of becoming an immortal.

At that moment, everyone fell into a solemn silence.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality slowly rose, bowed towards the Mythical Battlefield, and said, "Respectfully bidding farewell to my fellow Daoist as he ascends to immortality!"

"Sending Fellow Daoist Samsara to his ascension!"

"Congratulations on your liberation, fellow Daoist..."

Voices rose and fell in various forbidden zones: some were excited, some were regretful, some were gloating, and some were relieved, as if they had seen another version of themselves.

"From this day forward, the sea of ​​reincarnation will cease to exist in this world!"

Gai Jiuyou's majestic voice came from the mythical battlefield, resounding across the sky above the Big Dipper and echoing in the hearts of every supreme being in the forbidden zones.

Removed from the restricted area!

"Indeed... it's similar to the Celestial Light of the North Pole." After analyzing the Celestial Immortal Qi for a moment, Lin Xian smiled and stopped being persistent. He sent the Qi to the Carefree Celestial Venerable and said, "Becoming an immortal is difficult, but longevity is easy to obtain."

The Carefree Celestial Venerable absorbed that trace of immortal aura and felt his celestial platform heal slightly, and his lifespan even extended. His eyes immediately flashed with divine light, and he said with understanding, "This humble Daoist understands. From now on, there will be no more Sea of ​​Reincarnation, only the Carefree Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Court!"

The Celestial Venerable of Freedom took the initiative to seize the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, taking away its former treasures, and shattered its gates with a single blow, thus destroying the forbidden zone and becoming a true part of history.

The true destruction of a forbidden zone for life!

The world was shocked. Wiping out a supreme being was awe-inspiring, but leveling a forbidden zone of life was even more chilling.

The saints were shaken, and all spirits rejoiced. Such an achievement was something that even the great emperors of antiquity had never accomplished. How glorious and splendid it was!

"You emperors, do you see it?"

"Even the forbidden zones of life will one day come to an end!"

"Hahaha……"

Dark turmoil has occurred not only in the ancient times, but also in the Primordial Era and the Mythical Age. Some cultivators who have secluded themselves from that cruel era to the present day shed tears as they found a glimmer of dawn in the endless darkness.

The world was in an uproar. With the help of the saints, the news spread throughout all the realms. This was an unimaginable and magnificent feat. The end of a forbidden zone had a truly enormous impact.

Many powerful figures know that this is not something that can be achieved in one era. In the ancient times, the Void Emperor fought battles in various places, and he entered the Sea of ​​Reincarnation more than once, personally killing two Supreme Beings. Other human emperors have also killed Supreme Beings.

At the peak of each forbidden zone of life, just like the heavens, there are eight or nine people, which is extremely terrifying.

It was through the concerted efforts of generations of enlightened beings that the malignant tumor was finally eradicated.

Several forbidden zones remained silent; the Heavenly Court's momentum was unstoppable. Only one forbidden zone remained unmoved, as stable as Mount Tai.

It's a primordial ancient mine!

The ancient primordial mine rises and falls, vast and boundless like a dragon in slumber, swallowing and exhaling the brilliance of the universe, with stars falling down, boundless and vast, with astonishing phenomena.

Despite Lin Xian's arrival, the Primordial Ancient Mine remained defiant. A royal figure presented a Primordial Life Stone as a gift to the Heavenly Court, but refused to allow Lin Xian to enter.

"Heavenly Court? What Heavenly Court envoy?!"

"Coming to the Primordial Ancient Mine feels like coming home!"

"I was actually one of the Primordial Ones long ago."

Lin Xian smiled slightly and spoke eloquently, taking out one ancient emperor token after another, including the Undying Emperor Token, the God Emperor Token, and the Dragon Emperor Token.

With the path to immortality opened and forbidden zones of life emerging, the deities are no longer in slumber as before, and will surely gain insight into the affairs of the Heavenly Court and acquire intelligence.

The relationship between Lin Xian and Wan Longnu could not be hidden any longer, so they should be open and honest about it.

The Myriad Dragon Emperor was merely a decoy, used to conceal the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, whom the Heavenly Court had truly won over.

"The Dragon Emperor's son-in-law?"

The old supreme being of the Primordial Ancient Mine said with some surprise, "The Azure Emperor actually allowed such a thing to happen."

"Emperors and sovereigns throughout history have all had a broad mind and advocated the coexistence of all races." Lin Xian smiled slightly and said, "What is my little matter? There are also human emperors in the Primordial Ancient Mine. Could they be spies sent by my Heavenly Court?"

In an instant, the ancient mine's supreme being fell silent.

The Primordial Ancient Mine is powerful, but its situation is also the most complex. It is filled with emperors from various factions with vastly different ideologies. If the path to immortality had not been opened, they would have started fighting amongst themselves.

"Great Emperor... I am no longer worthy of that title."

Emperor Gouchen chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Just call me the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone."

"If I were to cut myself, how could I face the sages of the past?"

Another voice rang out, surprising Lin Xian that there was actually a second human emperor in the Primordial Ancient Mine.

"May I ask the name of the supreme ruler of the human race?"

Lin Xian faced the depths of the ancient mine, clasped his hands in a salute, and asked, "The Heavenly Court is not at odds with all forbidden zones; the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone is our ally."

"The past has passed too quickly to mention again," the human emperor sighed. "Now I am called Beidou."

"The Big Dipper?" Lin Xian asked tentatively with a strange expression, "Ancestor Tianxuan?"
