In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 643 [Eternal Heroes, Early System Establishment]

A single spark ignites, illuminating the five secret realms of the human body, the vast universe, and the past, future, and present of the nine heavens and ten earths.

Lin Xian's primordial spirit was flawless, radiant with light, and he held a torch, like a saint who ignited the flame of hope.

A thousand years from now, who will be able to take up the pen and record the deeds of these heroic spirits?
He alone survived, proving the Dao in legend. His true spirit resided at an infinite height, attaining the characteristics of the other shore, with one foot standing on the other shore.

If one day all the Celestial Emperors fall, ancient history is altered, and time is reshaped, after experiencing one cruel confusion after another, all races and beings will be confused and the world will be in a daze, just like the characters in the book and the ink in the painting, arbitrarily smeared by the strangeness of the plateau, the long night will be endless, and there will be no hope in sight.

He will be eternally remembered, becoming that one and only spark.

"I'm all alone now..."

At the end of the long river of time, an empress in white robes sighed. She was once invincible, but now she was so sad and lonely. Her voice pierced through time and space, echoing through the ages, in the past, in the future, and in the present.

The Empress folded paper boats one after another, sending them to the vast ocean of time, following different paths and heading towards different realms, as a symbol of hope for life.

However, how could the plateau allow it? Immortal Emperor-level beings are hard to erase. Even a trace of memory from the heavens, a fragment of ancient history, or a single record could call them back.

Then the progenitor made his move. A strange power corrupted the white paper boat, and the ominous force dissipated along with the light, turning the boat completely black.

"The world is all black, only I am white."

Lin Xian merged with the true blood, transforming into a tiny primordial spirit. It trembled in the storms of the sea of ​​time, as if it were traveling to the past and arriving in the future on a small paper boat. Its footprints traversed countless heavens and myriad worlds, passing through parallel universes and leaving their mark on different ancient histories.

Emperors fall and people grieve, autumn winds rise, the splendor of the heavens, like flowers, withers and fades away, leaving only one person walking alone, standing on the great road, lingering at the end of time.

He himself is the coffin. The three bronze coffins buried only the physical body of the Heavenly Emperor, but he is the coffin of the spirit, immortal in faith, always remembering the emperors and that perfect world.

"The coffin is not a burial site, but a crossing point; it is not a burial place, but a place for recuperation, so that one may become stronger in the future!"

"The coffin is a place of slumber, a resting place, and a war fortress for the strong!"

Lin Xian was radiant, his appearance solemn. His chaotic body was like a surging universe, bearing everything, replicating the perfect world, and forming a virtual world of myriad realms. He suddenly looked up and recalled how, in the desolate ancient forbidden land, under the guidance of the Empress, he forged the Great Dao of Chaos.

"I will be back!" Lin Xian said.

"I will return!" This was the cry of not only Lin Xian, but also countless other heroic spirits.

When the ocean turns to dust and the lightning fades away, that wisp of mist will once again approach the earth, and pollen will reappear in the world. I will finally return.

By taking oneself as a seed of the Tao, one can illuminate all the heavens and bloom into similar flowers!
What could be more memorable than being integrated into a cultivation system? When an entire system is filled with the traces of former powerhouses, they too will return and be reborn.

That vast expanse of pollen is the spiritual particles of the former heroes, who have reunited and returned in resonance after countless eons.

In an instant, Lin Xian was not a person, but the fusion of all the sages of the past generations. His boundless wisdom swept over him like a tide, naturally creating his own Dao and Dharma.

The first realm is to take the body as the seed and exclusively honor the true self, hence it is called: the seed of the Great Dao!

The second realm is filled with endless pollen, illuminating all the heavens, hence it is called: the Inner Landscape of the Yellow Court!

The third realm is where the inner landscape manifests outward, and all the spirits of the hundred orifices appear; hence it is called: Three Flowers and Five Qi!

The fourth realm is the severing of Yin to generate Yang, and the escape to oneness to attain truth, hence the name: Pure Yang Primordial Spirit!

And... that was still the nascent fifth realm—the Innate Realm!
The five realms opened up by Lin Xian correspond to the five major secret realms of the human body: the Sea of ​​Wheels, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform. The first four realms are relatively easy to understand. As a Chaos Quasi-Emperor, he could barely touch the threshold of the Supreme Realm. From his high position, opening up the other four realms was not difficult.

The system of the Chaotic Ancient Era was just cobbled together by some old supreme beings. Although it was extremely crude, the minimum levels, such as Blood Transfer, Cave Heaven, Spirit Transformation, Inscription, Array Formation, and Venerable, were quite interesting.

But once the divine fire is ignited and one steps onto the divine path, compared to the Sendai Secret Realm, it becomes utterly pathetic, often getting utterly crushed by other realms.

The Five Great Secret Realms are incredibly mysterious. Great beings cultivate the Five Great Secret Realms. Great Sages are also cultivators of the Five Realms. Great Emperors are also cultivators of the Five Realms. As long as one has not transformed into a Mortal Immortal, even if one is an Eighth-Generation Great Emperor or a Supreme Being who can slay immortals, one is still within the scope of the Five Great Secret Realms.

At least in theory, the Eighth Heavenly Emperor and the Half-Step Great Power are cultivators of the same realm!

"The Dao Seed, Inner Realm, Three Flowers, and Primordial Spirit are all easy to understand. But the Innate Realm, in my conception, is to evolve a celestial realm, to open up a heavenly realm, layer upon layer, densely covered with heavenly nets, with thirty-three palaces. It cannot be achieved in one touch."

"The first step is to ascend to immortality and forge the Flying Immortal Pool; the second step is to ascend to the Heavenly Palace and construct the Southern Heavenly Gate..."

Lin Xian sketched out a rough model: the end of the road was to build a Heavenly Court and ascend to the throne. However, reality was stuck at the third step, which corresponded to the Immortal Three Severing the Dao, requiring utmost caution.

The first two steps have corresponding physical objects, such as the Immortal Pool of Kunlun Mountain and the South Heavenly Gate of the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court, which possess Daoist principles and can be used to create new methods. However, the third step has no physical form and cannot advance even half a step.

"So be it, it's still just a rudimentary system... If I succeed, I should undergo the creation tribulation and advance to the position of Supreme Immortal King."

After Lin Xian finished fusing with the true blood, he slowly opened his eyes. There was no regret in his eyes, but rather a sense of composure. With every gesture and movement, there was an invisible Daoist charm, unbound by the heavens, as if he had transcended the mortal world.

"What...what level are you at now?"

"The fifth level of Quasi-Emperor? The sixth level?"

"That 'Boundless Heavenly Venerable' isn't actually from the Seventh Heaven, is he?!"

Duan De was startled and suddenly realized that he could not see Lin Xian clearly. The previously clear Quasi-Emperor Fourth Heaven had become blurry and indistinct.

"The realm is a classification for mediocre people, to prevent them from going astray and becoming possessed by evil."

"Due to different understandings of the Dao, there are distinctions in realms. If one's understanding of the Dao is thorough, there is no such thing as a bottleneck."

Lin Xian smiled calmly and said, "Now it is my turn to define the realm, not the other way around."

"You've reached the Supreme Realm!"

Duan De's pupils contracted. This kind of temperament was almost arrogant and self-assured, a kind of inexplicable confidence. He had only seen it in the Supreme Being, the Great Emperor, and other unorthodox Daoists.

Their path is perfect and flawless, and no one can teach them. Even if a true immortal descends to earth, they can only guide them, not impart the teachings. Hence, it is called the Ultimate Path.

The ultimate path, reaching the pinnacle, with no further advancement possible, the true number one in the world, is the only one who can define all laws and measure the rules.

But Lin Xian is only a quasi-emperor!

"How could a quasi-emperor possibly..." Duan De was puzzled. This was completely overturning the secret realm law. Was this still using one's own body as a seed?
A normal Quasi-Emperor couldn't do this, but is Lin Xian a normal Quasi-Emperor?!

Who among the normal quasi-emperors interferes in the supreme battle? Who among the normal quasi-emperors pacifies the forbidden zone of life?

The moment when the carefree Celestial Venerable could not catch up with Lin Xian, the moment when he attained the legendary status, he was no longer a normal Quasi-Emperor.

"Nothing is impossible; you are in the midst of it, but the truth remains outside of it."

Lin Xian smiled calmly and said, "The Great Perfection Holy Body can fight against the Supreme, but the True Realm is only at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor. The Chaos Body is even lower, with the combat power of a Supreme at the eighth level."

"This is because their physical bodies have transcended the definition of the Secret Realm Technique."

"The Secret Realm Techniques can no longer define them; they are the ones defining the Secret Realm Techniques, becoming a completely new benchmark."

"There was originally no road in the world, but as more people walked on it, it became a path."

Duan De trembled. This explanation was simply outrageous; it was about carving out a branch on the original path and expanding the road.

There was originally no realm between Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors, but as more Great Emperors were able to sever their own ties, a Supreme Realm was created.

For some exceptional talents, the Supreme Realm doesn't exist. After reaching the peak of the Ninth Heaven, they can leap directly to become Emperors.

However, for slightly weaker cultivators, the Supreme Being is another goal they pursue; if they cannot become an Emperor, they can become a Supreme Being.

Successful people include Ning Fei and Chuan Ying, while unsuccessful people include Gu Xin Ao.

"So, can you level the penalty area now?" Duan De took a deep breath and asked tentatively.

"Those old fogies in the forbidden zone have reached a sublimation level, even the flawless Great Emperor couldn't withstand them. Let Ye Fan handle them." Lin Xian's lips twitched. Going against the tide to conquer immortals was not his path; he preferred to cross realms to conquer mortals.

"The Great Perfection Holy Body?" Duan De narrowed his eyes, his smile somewhat eerie.

"Catching an Emperor-level weapon with my bare hands shouldn't be a problem," Lin Xian thought for a moment and said.
