Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

The universe was silent, the starry sea was dim, and only outside the ancient and eternal gate of the immortal realm, an indescribable sense of oppression and anticipation lingered.

Countless powerful divine thoughts spread from the edge of the universe, the forbidden zone of life, and the ancient stars.

However, they dared not enter directly, but instead intertwined at the entrance of the path to immortality, where powerful spiritual thoughts and intentions gathered, causing the void to tremble slightly.

The three figures standing before the immortal gate exuded a powerful and vast aura, causing countless wailing sounds to rise from the heavens.

One of them was surrounded by dragon energy, seemingly able to command all the stars in the heavens;

A Qilin soared into the sky, with phantom images of all races paying homage rising and falling behind it;
The other human emperor exuded a soaring fighting spirit, his eyes revealing the birth and death of the universe.

They are the strongest beings of this era, standing at the pinnacle of humanity, revered by the universe and looking down upon all ages.

Their arrival today represents the collective will of all supreme beings in the entire universe, seeking to inquire about the Immortal Realm and uncover the truth and future that has been severed for countless ages.

On the city wall, the figure clad in golden armor remained indifferent.

His armor flowed with dark gold divine light, stained with mottled bloodstains from an unknown era, and the murderous aura he exuded, refined through endless blood and fire battles, was even more imposing than the three great emperors and ancient kings below.

He wasn't deliberately putting pressure on anyone, but the aura he exuded was enough to chill even the most powerful beings to the bone.

After a brief silence, the human emperor finally spoke again, his voice steady, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible urgency.

"A thousand years of waiting, all for this day."

Please enlighten me, Your Excellency, has the Desolate Heavenly Emperor... achieved immortality?

Does our future depend entirely on him alone?

"Ah."

A sneer came from beneath the golden armor, carrying undisguised mockery and an indifference that stemmed from a fundamental level of existence.

"Become an immortal? You are insulting him!"

"Ok?"

The three supreme beings were startled at the same time, and the surging power of laws around them paused slightly, causing the starry river to tremble.

Not only them, but also the countless powerful divine thoughts that permeated the edge of the universe fluctuated violently, revealing the bewilderment and horror shared by billions of living beings.

Achieving immortality and eternal life is the ultimate goal pursued by all cultivators since the age of mythology; it is a desire engraved in the deepest part of the origin of life.

Now it's being called an "insult"?
This is beyond the comprehension of all living beings.

That golden-armored supreme being was a descendant of the Stone King, with a bloodline of glory and immortality flowing through his veins.

He was initially filled with rage at this almost blasphemous question, feeling that these future supreme beings were ignorant and simply disrespectful to that supreme being.

But as his gaze swept over the three faces below, faces that, though supremely noble, were filled with bewilderment and confusion, the rebuke he was about to utter ultimately turned into a long and complex sigh.

He was somewhat disheartened.

He waved his hand casually, as if he were shooing away a few annoying moths, rather than facing three emperors and sovereigns who ruled the universe.

"He is the founder of the cultivation methods in this world, and you simply don't understand the value of being the founder of a cultivation method."

"The Desolate Emperor has long surpassed the limits that your barren imagination can reach."

The title "Celestial King" is insufficient to describe even a fraction of his magnificence…

He said a few words, but seeing that the three supreme beings below and the observers in the endless void were still shrouded in a fog of incomprehension, he felt increasingly bored.

You can't talk about ice with a summer insect, and you can't talk about the sea with a frog in a well.

Discussing with these beings, who are trapped in their cages and chasing after celestial light, about that being who has long since broken free from all constraints and reigns supreme for eternity, is an extremely boring thing.

He said that those most glorious stories of his ancestors, if anyone could understand them, would certainly be a very special kind of boasting.

But it feels a bit boring if the people in front of him don't understand what he's saying.

“Those who are willing to keep their promises and make vows with a righteous heart may enter this gate.”

Those who are unwilling may leave now.

His voice regained its cold, metallic quality.

"This opening of the gates marks a time for our community to undertake large-scale construction."

They stood at the door asking all sorts of questions, yet hesitated to move forward, wasting my time unnecessarily.

As emperors and ancient rulers, they may have suffered disrespect before they reached the pinnacle.

But since they ascended to the throne and ruled the world, has anyone in the entire world ever dared to speak to them in such an impatient and dismissive tone?

The two ancient emperors' expressions darkened, their eyes swirling like stars, as if a raging fire was brewing within them.

The human emperor also frowned, his body humming with sword intent that cleaved through the surrounding laws.

However, they all held back.

There's no other reason than that the opponent is strong and fierce enough!

Furthermore, on the path to immortality, the being who single-handedly suppressed the darkness and chaos and wiped out all calamities had taught all the arrogant supreme beings in the most direct way what it means to be humble and what it means to be humble.

Suppressing the long-lost unease in his heart, the human emperor spoke again.

He asked the core question that has troubled the entire universe for countless eras since the legend of the Desolate Emperor was passed down, causing all the geniuses and outstanding individuals to toss and turn at night.

"If that's the case, why is there only a first part of the cultivation method passed down by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, and no follow-up?"
If one can become an immortal, why is there no chapter on becoming an immortal?
Why does it give people a sense of incompleteness, as if the road has come to an end?

Did he... leave behind a true path to immortality?

This problem is as heavy as a mountain, crushing all ages, carrying too many hopes and despairs of life.

In the past, this golden-armored general standing atop the ancient imperial city might not have been able to answer, or could only give vague answers.

But things are different now. He not only knows the answer, but also understands the profound good intentions of that great being hidden deep within the long river of time.

Because Wang Mingyuan had told him all about these things, and even now Wang Mingyuan was communicating with him spiritually in the virtual god realm.

He calmly spoke, facing the gazes of three emperors and countless others who secretly hoped for his return.

Although the sound was not loud, it clearly entered every divine thought, like a thunderclap in the hearts of all beings.

"Of course."

"In my realm, there is indeed a complete and supreme method created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, which directly leads to the path of immortality and even to a higher realm."

He paused slightly, his gaze like cold lightning, sweeping over the three supreme beings whose auras had instantly become incredibly scorching, and the endless void that seemed about to boil.

The next sentence, however, was like a freezing spring from the heavens, extinguishing all the fervor that had just begun to ignite.

"However, I do not recommend that you study it directly."

"Why?!"

The Dragon Emperor couldn't help but roar, his voice shaking the stars, his eyes filled with incomprehension and longing.

It is precisely because they lack this method that they have been wasting millions of years, or even more than a million years, from the mythological era to the present post-primordial era, which is more than three million years.

Throughout history, emperors and great rulers have squandered time and years.

Countless individuals have made various attempts along this path, some terrible and some even tragic.

In order to survive and explore higher realms, the ancient emperors of the self-transformed forbidden zones forgot their original intentions and stirred up one dark upheaval after another.

It can be said that the turmoil of the entire world originated from the single word "immortal".

Everyone wants to become an immortal, so hundreds of millions of cultivators have died on this path, and it is certain that these hundreds of millions of cultivators are not the end.

In the future, hundreds of millions more practitioners will continue to die.

If someone could leave behind such a method, why would they have gone to such lengths?
The golden-armored supreme being looked down upon all living beings and slowly uttered an ancient proverb containing supreme wisdom and cruel truth: "Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die."

"This principle should be perfectly clear to you now that you have cultivated to this level."

If you want to become a truly unparalleled and unparalleled figure throughout the ages, you must never grovel before the achievements of others.

We must cut through the thorns and forge our own unique path.

"Referencing and drawing lessons from others is certainly acceptable."

But it's best not to directly tread the path of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, let alone completely copy it.

"It is only because he has reached an inconceivable level in the path he has opened up, and his method is perfected to the finest degree and precise to the smallest detail."

The more you see, the deeper you become immersed, and the harder it is to break free from its cage and forge your own path.

"In the short term, it may make rapid progress, and may even be able to open the door to immortality."

However, in the long run, if one wishes to reach that ultimate peak, one will inevitably be bound by it, never able to transcend it!

In fact, it was through the inspiration of Meng Wang Mingyuan that this descendant of the Stone King was able to glimpse a corner of the magnificent and unimaginable future trajectory of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

Knowing that he had already surpassed the realm of Immortal Kings and reached the highest level, sweeping away all sources of darkness.

Amidst his shock and awe, he also deeply admired the Desolate Emperor's unparalleled magnanimity, spirit, and foresight.

The Desolate Emperor had already reached an inconceivable level.

He had clearly created a flawless method for cultivating the sixth secret realm. Following this path, one could easily step into the realm of the Immortal King, and even rapidly ascend within the Immortal King realm to become the strongest among the giants.

However, the Desolate Emperor witnessed that during the ancient era of immortals, countless brilliant and talented individuals, even the most outstanding geniuses, were ultimately trapped in the Immortal King realm.

At most, one can reach the level of a giant, but then it becomes difficult to make any further progress, and millions of years of hard work will be in vain.

Even more remarkably, figures like the Dark Immortal Emperor and the Corpse Immortal Emperor left behind complete Immortal Emperor-level techniques.

However, those who later studied the Dark Immortal Emperor and the Corpse Immortal Emperor could only reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm at most.

They will never be able to reach the realm of the Immortal Emperor; the realm of the Former Emperor must forge its own path.

The lessons of the past are deeply ingrained in our bones.

Therefore, the Desolate Emperor made a groundbreaking decision that could influence the course of countless ages.

He voluntarily "restricted" the supreme Dharma he had come to understand.

Only the most basic, yet most important, methods of cultivation in the first five secret realms were widely disseminated to lay the foundation for cultivation in this world.

The core essence concerning the sixth secret realm and the subsequent path to Immortal Kings, Immortal Emperors, and even higher levels remains hidden.

It is something that can only be obtained by those with great opportunity, great perseverance, and great wisdom. Even if one obtains it, one can mostly learn from it rather than copy it.

He handed over the power of choice, along with the difficult path, to those who came after him.

This means that after reaching the pinnacle of the human realm, breaking through to the Supreme Realm and entering the Immortal Path will become extremely difficult.

It's like the blind men and the elephant, wading through endless darkness alone; among millions of cultivators, perhaps only one will succeed.

But once they successfully forge their own path and break free from those invisible yet sturdy shackles...

Its future potential will be unimaginably high.

They are far beyond the reach of mere Immortal Kings; they truly possess the potential and qualifications to challenge Immortal Emperors and even higher realms!
He will not be like his predecessors who cultivated the ancient immortal methods, where countless geniuses were trapped and died before reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

Unlike those dark beings who cultivate incomplete and bizarre methods, even if they are lucky enough to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, their path forward is cut off, and they will never have hope of truly reaching the Emperor realm.

Ultimately, they were reduced to monsters that were neither human nor ghost.

The Desolate Emperor left behind seeds, hope, and a seemingly more arduous path to heaven that actually leads to infinite possibilities!
He single-handedly cleaved through the eternal darkness for those who followed, yet he was unwilling to let his own brilliance completely overshadow the path of those who came after him.

Only to preserve the faint but precious spark that could give birth to a true transcendent being.

The Golden Armored Supreme had said all he needed to say and would not say any more.

His cold gaze swept over the three supreme beings below, who were lost in shock and deep thought.

The great path is ruthless, yet it strives only for the slightest advantage.

The law has been given; the path is under our feet.

Is it better to seek the seemingly convenient but ultimately doomed "perfect method," or to embark on the thorny, perilous path that may lead to the truly supreme realm?
The choice is now.

Outside the gates of the Immortal Realm, there was an eternal silence.

Only the wide-open gate flowed with unprecedented vitality and chaotic energy, as if quietly waiting, waiting for the arrival of a new era, waiting... for the true hero.

The entire world was utterly silent.

After a long silence, Wanlonghuang spoke first.

"I am willing to enter this realm."

"I am willing to be at the forefront of the fight against foreign lands and darkness. Would it be possible to witness a method of achieving immortality from the ancient times?"

The golden-armored general guarding the gates of the "Immortal Realm" has already explained the relevant issues and circumstances very clearly.

Even a peerless figure like Wanlonghuang, who, despite entering the forbidden zone, has never truly stirred up a dark upheaval, still possesses a certain arrogance.

He didn't want to imitate him blindly. The Desolate Emperor was incredibly great, so how could he be any less so?

But the hundreds of thousands or even millions of years that had passed made him yearn to become an immortal.

He did not watch the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's method of becoming an immortal.

Because the Desolate Emperor is the founder of all cultivation methods and techniques in this world, if one observes too much of his teachings, one might actually fall into the same trap as him, unable to forge their own path.

But he had wasted countless years in the world, yearning to become an immortal, and had also encountered countless setbacks. He hoped to see a glimmer of inspiration that could give him some guidance.

Torn between these two options, he chose to obtain the method for achieving immortality from the ancient times of immortality, using it as a reference.

After all, according to this person, the Desolate Emperor also followed this path back then. The Desolate Emperor comprehended the cultivation methods of the Immortal Valley era and the cultivation methods of the Chaotic Ancient era.

Standing on the shoulders of their predecessors, they created an unparalleled and unique method.

"Can!"

The golden-armored general's response was indifferent. The Dragon Emperor glanced back at the Big Dipper and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths behind him.

A dazzling light burst forth from his body, disappeared into the vast universe, and vanished without a trace.

"I have recorded my experiences of seeking immortals on the path to becoming an immortal. If you want them, go and find them!"

After saying this, he didn't even glance at the Dragon Girl with tears streaming down her face in the desolate wilderness of the universe, and walked directly into the "Immortal Realm" amidst the shocked gazes of the world.

In this era, in this world, the second person of the Great Emperor/Ancient Sovereign level to be clearly seen by everyone is Fei Xian.

Countless people turned their heads in disbelief; countless people were shocked.

At the same time, countless people are also filled with excitement.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor's expression changed countless times. Despite his stern words before the Immortal Gate, he hesitated for once.

Through his bloodline intuition, he saw Huo Lin'er, her face streaked with tears, gazing at this place within the sealed, special secret realm.

"Father!"

Meanwhile, on the edge of the universe, the Fire Scale Child, undergoing the most bloody and terrifying trials, also looked in this direction, his eyes bloodshot.

"Become an immortal?!"

This person sighed, and ultimately hesitated before taking the step. (End of Chapter)
