In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 621 [Using Dao-Merging Flowers is Not Shameful]

After the Mythical Emperor War ended, the Origin God and the Origin Ghost, seeing the situation was not good, fled with the Heavenly Nether Treasure. This battle deterred the forbidden zones of life, reigned supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths, and shocked people's hearts.

The Sea of ​​Reincarnation was destroyed, the Undying Mountain split apart, the Immortal Tomb fell into slumber, the Divine Ruins sealed itself off, the Burial Sky Island regressed, and even the Primordial Ancient Mine was shaken.

"We've been to all six forbidden zones, how can we miss the last one?"

Lin Xian walked with his head held high and chest out, as swift as a shooting star, taking one step at a time towards the Yan Kingdom. He traversed the seven forbidden zones of the Big Dipper, and even this last ancient forbidden zone was one he was not going to let go of, intending to take a bite out of it.

"Lord Lin is heading towards the desolate ancient forbidden zone. What is he going to do?!"

With one player seemingly in a direct confrontation, the near-emperor appears quite spirited. Could it be that a battle in the penalty area is on the horizon?

"Lin Zun is going to sweep away several forbidden zones and create an unprecedented miracle!"

Some young sages from beyond the realm, unaware of Lin Xian's true identity, only knew that this powerful figure had conquered forbidden zones, and developed mindless worship, excitedly exclaiming, "Truly worthy of being the World Honored One of Buddhism."

“How could it be the Pingjin Forbidden Zone? The Great Accomplishment Holy Body comes from the Ancient Forbidden Zone. The current Heavenly Court Lord and Holy Lord Lin are both Holy Bodies. There must be some unspeakable secret behind this.”

The native sages of Beidou mocked the outsider, saying that he knew nothing but dared to venture into the Burial Emperor Star.

"The forbidden zones of life are invincible; the only thing that can conquer one forbidden zone is another."

Furthermore, the all-knowing old ancestor revealed the truth, saying, "Behind the Heavenly Court lies the Ancient Forbidden Zone. The current Imperial War is a clash of the wills of the Forbidden Zone. I think Lord Lin is most likely a child of the Forbidden Zone."

"Look, Lin Xian has entered, and he is unaffected by the passage of time!" An old sage stood in the Eastern Wilderness, gazing at the nine sacred mountains, and exclaimed in surprise.

Many years later, the desolate forbidden zone remains unchanged. It is lush with vegetation and medicinal herbs, but it is also quiet. There are no insects chirping, no birds singing, and no beasts roaring. It is like a dead land.

The power of time has taken away most lives; it is an extremely terrifying form of devouring. It is an undeniably demonic method that extracts all the world's greatest elixirs for its own use, even darker than the supreme beings of forbidden zones.

Lin Xian descended upon this place once more, but he was no longer afraid of time. It was as if the river of time flowed around him, and the terrifying power of time could not take away even a fraction of his lifespan. He gazed at the nine sacred mountains, where the Nine Wonderful Immortal Medicines swayed, lush and verdant, with thousands of divine chains of order hanging down. It was the Empress comprehending the Dao, and she had something in common with the God Emperor.

"Lin Xian pays her respects to the Great Emperor!"

Lin Xian shouted loudly, but did not force his way in. A moment later, an extremely otherworldly figure appeared.

She was a woman with bright eyes and white teeth, a slender neck, and a beauty like a lotus emerging from the water. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind, making her seem like a fairy from the moon palace about to ride the wind away, otherworldly and ethereal.

"Saintess of Tianxuan," Lin Xian said softly, then added, "Thank you for your kindness in passing on the teachings in the past. The Tianxuan lineage has been revived and is even more glorious than it was six thousand years ago."

A glint of light flashed in Tianxuan Saintess's eyes, then she became confused again, only nodding blankly.

"Slave slaves? A method of achieving immortality."

Lin Xian shook his head. The saints in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone were in a very strange state, like puppets. It was the Empress experimenting with the method of immortality, but they also had some intelligence. Only in this way could they live forever.

Otherwise, six thousand years would be enough for all saints to turn to dust, and even the lifespan of a great saint would only be seven or eight thousand years.

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan led Lin Xian into the deepest part, where a huge stone gate appeared before them, quiet and profound, as if connecting to a vast immortal realm. However, it was not yet open.

"A hundred years to go!"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body descended and personally led the way for Lin Xian, dismissing the Heavenly Pivot Saintess. He explained, "The Empress does not aspire to immortality, but believes that reincarnation is related to the path of immortality."

"Perhaps after becoming an immortal, everything will be completely different, and the people of the past may be reincarnated again?"

In the end, even the Great Accomplished Holy Body had some doubts. Even for a supreme being of his level, reincarnation was still a mystery, something he only vaguely understood.

Why analyze reincarnation in this way?

Lin Xian was slightly taken aback, then seemed to have thought of something. Looking back at the nine Nine Wonders of Immortality that the Empress had separated, she said thoughtfully, "Each of these immortal herbs was once an immortal, so the Empress believes that there is reincarnation in the path of immortality."

"Is that what you think, or is that what the Azure Emperor thinks?" The Golden-haired Holy Body said with a serious expression, "If this is the case, could the Azure Emperor be a reincarnation of a true immortal, returning from Nirvana?"

If this news were to spread, it would surely shock the ages. Throughout history, all cultivators have been desperately seeking the path to immortality, yet they never imagined that the Azure Emperor of this world was a banished immortal.

"He could also be the King of Immortals." Lin Xian chatted with the Great Accomplished Holy Body, and their conversation touched on the cultivation of the Five Great Secret Realms, including the theory of Crimson Blood Flawless.

Reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm through cultivation, and with the blessing of Buddhist Dao fruits, becoming an Emperor might be very difficult, but for Lin Xian, achieving Great Completion is only a matter of time, a matter of patient effort.

"The opening of the Immortal Path is a great calamity, but the birth of several Holy Bodies in this era may be a blessing in disguise." The Great Accomplishment Holy Bodies sighed, then warned, "The Carefree Heavenly Venerable and the Longevity Heavenly Venerable are cut from the same cloth. None of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of Mythology are simple. You cannot trust them easily."

"Senior, rest assured, as long as the Heavenly Court is strong enough to suppress the forbidden zones and open up the path to immortality, Xiaoyao will set an example of a Heavenly Venerable who abandons darkness and embraces light."

Lin Xian smiled slightly, and wisps of immortal energy appeared in his palm, similar to the Arctic Celestial Light, and also like the immortal energy of the heavens. For a moment, it resonated with the ancient forbidden zone and involved the Great Dao of Time.

"Your research on the path to immortality has actually reached this point."

The Great Accomplished Holy Body exclaimed in surprise, "Even she only got involved in the path of immortality after living a second life."

"It's just a shortcut."

Lin Xian said calmly, "In the Chaotic Ancient Era, a Quasi-Emperor was considered a Supreme Being and qualified to become an Immortal. Now, the environment is harsh, and the requirements for becoming an Immortal have become increasingly strict, making it extremely difficult."

The Great Accomplished Holy Body seemed to be deep in thought, and finally arrived with Lin Xian at a bronze immortal palace. The ancient palace looked magnificent, standing in the fairyland, accompanied by clear springs, adorned with rare herbs and divine flowers, a pure land.

The empress sat cross-legged, her beauty almost unreal, ethereal and serene. Though she was right before one's eyes, it felt as if one were in a celestial realm.

Ruthless Great Emperor, Devouring Demon Emperor, Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor—one title after another has shocked the ages.

She had no talent and could not cultivate, yet she relied on her own strength to slay all the kings, stand alone in the heavens, and even the gods could not block her way. With a physique inferior to that of mortals, she eventually reached the pinnacle.

She stepped into the Kunlun Immortal Realm, shattered the Immortal Ascension Cauldron with a single palm strike, suppressed the Immortal Embryo in the Divine Pool with a single thought, and killed the heads of ten thousand Ancestral Dragons. She transcended the world, ignored the ginseng fruit tree's wish to follow her, and drifted away.

She did not perish, but instead lived life after life, creating miracles of immortality, not to become an immortal, but only to wait for "you" to return in this mortal world.

All the venerable ones fear him, all the venerable ones worship him. He has survived four lifetimes and is now beginning his fifth. He is struggling in the mortal world and his strength is enough to defeat immortals. He is a rare figure in history.

She is both a monument and a beacon, illuminating the path forward for eternity!

"Lin Xian visited the Great Emperor, seeking guidance on how to attain enlightenment."

Lin Xian stepped forward and bowed deeply, prompting the Empress to raise her hand. With a flick of her delicate finger, a futon appeared within the Immortal Palace, its Dao energy condensing and hovering in the void. "Why the Dao!"

The Empress spoke, her voice ethereal, like that of a celestial being from the heavens. Having lived through five lifetimes as the Heavenly Emperor and traversed half of the mortal world, no one in the human realm understood immortality or the Great Dao better than her.

"I am the Tao."

Lin Xian spoke calmly, manifesting various laws, with one imperial aura after another appearing on his body. There was the void of myriad laws, the bloodline of the Ji family, the eternal universe refining the Dao, the furnace conceiving the great sun, and the vastness of the Western Emperor, with the Dao energy surging. Sometimes there was the chaos of ancient times, severing my understanding of the Dao, and the Big Dipper twinkling, the seven stars swaying... one thing after another, almost encompassing all the great Daos of the past and present.

He was involved in everything, from the Nine Secrets of the Mythological Era to the scriptures of the Primordial Emperors, and even the philosophies of the Human Emperors!
"What a brilliant example of making the simple complex!"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body sighed in admiration and nodded. Lin Xian and Ye Fan were both Holy Bodies, but they had two completely different paths: one was to unify all laws, and the other was to unify all laws in one life.

However, the three thousand great paths, though different, all lead to the same destination: chaos, from which the universe originates.

The Hundred Immortals took this step, integrating all laws and persuading all emperors, and indeed had some of the demeanor of the Ruthless Great Emperor. The next step would be the unification of all schools and the fusion of all paths, forging oneself into the post-natal chaos.

The claim that the Devouring Heaven Dao Master is a successor of a ruthless person is not a fabrication, but rather stems from similar experiences and the influence of various schools of thought, resulting in a complex and nuanced understanding of the Dao.

"chaos?"

The Empress slowly opened her eyes. A brief moment of clarity appeared in her previously bewildered eyes, which was quite dazzling. She sensed the power of the Great Dao, and the Immortal Golden Divine Chains rattled.

Throughout history, many have dared to ask the Empress questions, but few have been qualified to enter the Bronze Immortal Palace.

Tens of thousands of years ago, a young man also had such an opportunity. After becoming emperor, he was known as the Chaotic Ancient Emperor.

"Oh, big brother, I saw a big sister calling me."

The little girl in the holy city cried out and transformed into a beam of immortal light, rushing into the desolate ancient forbidden zone.

"It really is the Empress's Dao Fruit!"

Upon seeing this, Xuanwu, Xiaoyao, Wanlong, and other supreme beings trembled, but dared not pursue them. After all, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone not only contained the Great Accomplished Holy Body, but also a Flawless Great Emperor.

"Wait for me!"

Only Ye Fan, bold and meticulous, and with his special status, chased after them. He stepped into the desolate ancient forbidden zone as if walking on flat ground, and followed them all the way to the Bronze Immortal Palace, where he saw an old man and a young girl, both ancient holy bodies, sitting opposite the Empress.

Including him, there are three Holy Bodies today. The Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone can rightfully be called the Holy Bodies Forbidden Zone. The neighboring Overlord Body Ancestral Star only has three Overlord Body Supremes.

As soon as Ye Fan stepped into the Bronze Immortal Palace, he heard Lin Xian say solemnly, "The evolution of chaos is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even the Empress has achieved perfection in her second life. How dare I try to achieve it in one fell swoop?"

"In case of failure, we need a backup plan to allow me to regain the throne."

"I have come here today to ask the Empress when the clues to the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin will arrive at the ancient star of the primordial world, and where they are now."

If anyone could find the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, besides the Desolate Tower left by the Desolate Emperor, only the Empress could.

After all, the final destination of the Kowloon Coffin Flight is the ancient forbidden zone.

"You want to use the Harmony Flower?"

The Golden-Haired Great Accomplished Holy Body suddenly realized that he had personally placed the flower in the bronze coffin and thrown it into the universe.

There are three kinds of wondrous flowers in the world: the Demon God Flower, the Divine Flower, and the Dao-Harmony Flower.

The effects are all terrifying: the Demon God Flower can forge the foundation of an emperor, the Divine Flower can increase the Dao Fruit of an emperor, and the Dao Integration Flower can make a person directly become an emperor, comparable to swallowing a Chaos Body alive!

"Exactly."

Lin Xian smiled slightly. If one could attain enlightenment through the Chaos Body, that would be the best outcome, becoming the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. If not, becoming the Dao Integration Emperor would also be a viable path.

Get on the bus first, buy the ticket later. It's a great honor to prove your Dao with the Chaos Body. It's not shameful to become an Emperor with the Dao Integration Flower. The most shameful thing is not becoming an Emperor.

As for his combat strength, once he attains enlightenment, his realm will suppress all heroes under heaven, reign supreme over the nine heavens and ten earths, and sweep across the vast universe. Who would dare to utter a single word? There will be a passerby ancestor to defend him.

"That flower is reserved for the destined Holy Body," the Great Accomplished Holy Body subtly reminded her. The Empress possessed the Harmony Flower but had no use for it herself; she wanted to save it for the Holy Body she was waiting for.

For example, the one eavesdropping outside the hall was Ye Shengti, not Lin Shengti.

"Take it easy..." Lin Xian coughed, then noticed the Empress sitting opposite him. He couldn't take it easy on Ye Fan now, so he changed the subject and said, "The path to immortality has begun in this life, and there are many battles. Becoming an emperor means taking on responsibilities, which may not be a good thing. A slight mistake could lead to death in battle. Ye Fan is too young and can't handle it."

"Let me suffer the hardship and shoulder this immense burden alone."

"This is truly the most ridiculous thing in the world!" Ye Fan's face darkened as he stepped into the hall and sneered, "Holy Lord, this Emperor Cheng has really caused you a lot of trouble."

"Tsk tsk, little Ye doesn't appreciate kindness." Lin Xian said without changing his expression, "You are still a long way from achieving enlightenment, while Senior Gai, the old Golden Crow, and the First Divine General are all people who can become emperors at any time."

"If they become emperors, it will be extremely difficult for you to become one as well. Why don't I take the Dao-Merging Flower and try to become an emperor myself?"

"If successful, it will create a system where multiple emperors coexist, clearing obstacles for future generations."

"Then why can't I be the one to take the Dao-Merging Flower?" Ye Fan shouted. The idea that "only by enduring hardship can one rise above others" is all a lie. Today, he will shatter it all and take a shortcut.

"Becoming an emperor with the Dao-Merging Flower is too mediocre. One must shatter all paths and surpass the Heavenly Heart Mark to truly possess the magnificence of a Heavenly Emperor."

Lin Xian said leisurely, "Only those who rise to the top can become the strongest. That's your style."

"I don't know about 'bitter before sweet,' but 'sweet' is definitely real. This time, I'm not going to believe it." Ye Fan sneered, completely disbelieving Lin Xian's big lies.

In terms of cultivation and realm, he has completely mastered the physical body of a Quasi-Emperor at the sixth level. Before long, his cultivation will rise to the level of a Great Perfection Saint Body. In contrast, Lin Xian is only a Quasi-Emperor at the third level.

"This time, I'm going to be a cultivator of higher realms too," Ye Fan said proudly. "The sixth level of Heaven is faster to achieve mastery than the third level, so it's only right that I use the Dao-Merging Flower first."

“You are indeed closer to achieving the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body than I am.” Lin Xian smiled knowingly, slowly stood up, and said leisurely, “But who said that I am going to prove the Dao with the Sacred Body?”

"What do you mean?!" Ye Fan's pupils shrank, his eyes filled with disbelief.

As Lin Xian raised his hands and feet, chaotic energy rippled, and he chanted, "I knew from an early age that becoming an emperor was difficult..."
