Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

Within the Jade Palace, clouds and mist swirl, creating an ethereal atmosphere.

Jade platforms floated in the void, emitting a hazy glow.

One figure after another appeared, their auras either as deep as the sea, as sharp as a sword, or as ethereal as smoke.

They landed one after another on the jade platform, nodded to each other in greeting, and then sat down cross-legged.

On the surface, this gathering seemed no different from any other, remaining peaceful and ordinary.

However, anyone with keen senses could detect an unusual undercurrent in the air.

The feeling was like the calm before a storm, or the darkness before dawn, foreshadowing some major change that was about to happen.

This is the first gathering since the path to immortality opened and then closed, and all the people involved are filled with anticipation.

After all, Baiyujing's ultimate goal is to become an immortal in the mortal world, but now something related to the immortal realm has happened, and the immortal realm has even appeared between heaven and earth.

Therefore, under such circumstances, significant changes are inevitable, and everyone is waiting.

The figure perched atop the central throne was no longer the mysterious figure shrouded in mist, but Wang Mingyuan, who openly revealed his true form.

With each blink of his eyes, it seemed as if the sun and moon were revolving, and the stars were rising and falling. An invisible pressure enveloped the entire Baiyujing, instilling awe in all the powerful figures present.

This was not a deliberate release of his aura, but rather a natural resonance with the universe that arose after reaching a certain level of cultivation.

That was the natural outward manifestation of a Heavenly Emperor-level figure's life force, terrifying beyond compare, overwhelming heaven and earth.

In fact, many members of Baiyujing were already aware of Wang Mingyuan's true identity.

This "official debut" is more like a ceremony, a declaration of the beginning of a new era.

Many of the older members exchanged smiles, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

Looking back more than a hundred years ago, when we first gathered here, many of the people present had not even stepped into the Sendai realm and were still taking their first steps on the path of cultivation.

Today, the world has been turned upside down, and the universe has undergone tremendous changes.

Those cultivators who were once beyond the reach of even the Sendai realm have now, even the worst among them, stood tall in the Great Sage realm, truly powerful figures in their own right.

Those with exceptional talent and profound opportunities even broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, touching the edge of the Great Emperor domain.

"Truly, the world has changed dramatically."

Gu Tianshu sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on the central throne.

"Who could have imagined that in just over a hundred years, we would have reached such heights?"

Wang Mingyuan sat cross-legged on the highest throne of Baiyujing, his gaze calmly overlooking the entire world.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void, witnessing the battles on the edge of the universe and hearing the cries of heroes from all races.

This position not only symbolizes power, but also carries the responsibility of protecting this land.

Xia Jiuyou sat quietly in a corner, his aura faint and mysterious, like a deity who had come from the depths of the netherworld.

She has already reached the peak of the Great Sage realm, and is only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Emperor.

As Gai Jiuyou's personal disciple, she perfectly inherited her master's mantle, and even surpassed him.

Throughout the vast universe, there has always been discussion about these top figures who stand on the list of geniuses.

Many cultivators privately discussed that, given time, she might be able to recreate the "celestial melody that expresses the desolation of eternity" that Gai Jiuyou once played, and reproduce the splendor of the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Melody.

On the other side, the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion remained as elegant as ever. A hundred years had not left the slightest mark on her face; instead, it had added a touch of mature charm.

Unlike before, she was now enveloped in a maternal glow, holding a baby in her arms.

The baby's eyes were clear, with a faint Daoist aura flowing within them, clearly indicating that it was born extraordinary.

Black Emperor squatted beside the Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion, his dog eyes gleaming with a sharp light as he stared intently at the infant without blinking.

Ji Ziyue's bright and lively eyes kept glancing at her, and when they landed on the baby, she gritted her teeth, revealing her little tiger teeth.

The Black Emperor seemed completely unaware.

According to its original plan, after resolving the relevant issues, it would take the baby to Purple Mountain as soon as possible to receive joint instruction from it and the Beginningless Bell and inherit the supreme legacy of the Beginningless Emperor.

However, Wang Mingyuan's appearance gave everything a chance to turn around.

In this era, there are emperor-level figures who suppress heaven and earth, making it difficult for others to attain enlightenment. This innate holy body and Dao embryo naturally has ample time to grow and there is no need to rush.

Ye Fan, a leading figure of the younger generation, had also shaken off his dazed state, his eyes now clear as lightning.

His cultivation level had already reached the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor, a progress that was astonishing.

When he looked at the baby in the arms of the Purple Mansion Saintess, his eyes revealed an uncontrollable excitement, but when he looked at Ji Ziyue, he felt a little guilty.

Even with his cultivation and strength at the fifth level of Quasi-Emperor, he could suppress and defeat everyone among the younger generation.

But he still felt guilty.

In Wang Mingyuan's view, Ye Fan's Great Perfection Holy Body and the origin of the Dark Supreme were not yet fully refined and were still intertwined.

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Ye Fan breaks through to a higher realm.

What's even more remarkable is that after breaking through the quasi-emperor barrier, Ye Fan has been able to maintain a clear mind for many years, which means that his subsequent cultivation will be smoother.

The will of that Great Accomplished Holy Body not only ceased to interfere with him, but instead became an aid on his path of cultivation, guiding him in the right direction.

Ye Fan proceeded exactly according to Wang Mingyuan's original plan.

With his own strength and ability, he broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm in just over a hundred years.

Moreover, due to his years of clashes with the Dark Sovereign and the Great Accomplished Holy Body, he has accumulated ample experience in fighting against top-tier imperial figures.

If Wang Mingyuan hadn't become a Great Emperor when the Path to Immortality opened, then Ye Fan could have relied on his Quasi-Emperor level five cultivation and strength.

Then, wearing the physical body of the Great Emperor Wushi's father, he joined the ultimate battlefield.

In this way, his performance should be many times stronger than anyone else in the world.

However, this backup plan no longer needs to be activated, as Wang Mingyuan has swept away all enemies.

Wang Mingyuan's gaze turned to Ji Zi, a descendant of the Void Emperor, who had already incorporated the origins of two Great Saints at their peak into her body.

At this moment, only a few embers remained of the two powerful sources, which he had completely digested.

He himself had reached the peak of the Great Sage realm, standing at the threshold of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

To achieve a breakthrough, it takes time to hone one's skills.

This speed is already very fast, even terrifyingly fast, and is considered top-tier among all the younger generation of cultivators.

But Wang Mingyuan was still a little dissatisfied.

Thinking of the source of the two Dark Sovereigns he had killed using the Void Emperor, Wang Mingyuan felt a sense of indebtedness.

"If there were two Great Emperors or Ancient Emperors whose origins were intertwined within his body, given his bloodline and current condition, he should already be standing in the Quasi-Emperor realm at this time."

“However,” Wang Mingyuan thought to himself, “I am not lacking in top-tier treasures right now.”

Of the three Great Completion Body cultivators I previously slew, I only refined one; the essence of the other two remains.

He recalled that he had once intended to help Ye Fan achieve the Saintly Overlord Body, but he was troubled by the lack of the Great Overlord Body Origin.

Now that the conditions are met, Ye Fan no longer needs it, which inevitably makes him feel a little regretful.

"Now, we can take out a portion of the Great Completion Body's origin for Himeko to use for cultivation. However, if the Celestial God Transformation Gold wants to cultivate, it will need an opposing Great Emperor-level origin."

"Only through mutual entanglement and balance can those of lower cultivation levels have the opportunity to digest and absorb this source..."

Therefore, such an origin is still lacking for the time being.

On his path to immortality, Wang Mingyuan killed a large number of ancient emperors and celestial beings.

But in order to facilitate his own breakthrough, he swallowed them all.

Now it's lacking something.

"It's not just that I owe Himeko a little bit; I also owe Xia Jiuyou a share!"

The other top-tier source that Wang Mingyuan swallowed was cut off by Gai Jiuyou himself, who specifically left it for Wang Mingyuan.

Normally, such an essence should be left to Xia Jiuyou.

One is that they have the same physique, and the other is that Xia Jiuyou is Gai Jiuyou's disciple and apprentice.

It should have been given to Xia Jiuyou by both reason and emotion, but it was given to Wang Mingyuan instead.

This is a debt of gratitude, and we must remember it.

"Looks like we'll have to go into the restricted area to try and get some loot."

Wang Mingyuan has now undergone a complete rebirth, and the peerless beings in the restricted area no longer have any effect on him.

Therefore, the Dark Sovereigns and powerful figures that are subsequently defeated can be kept and given to others for cultivation.

A fleeting thought crossed Wang Mingyuan's mind as he looked down, a rare sense of pleasure welling up within him.

Looking at the gathering in Baiyujing, the lowest cultivation level among the participants was that of a Great Sage, while the highest level had reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor or even a level of alternative enlightenment.

Such a lineup would have been unimaginable a hundred years ago.

Back then, a single Great Sage was enough to awe a region, and Quasi-Emperors were legendary beings.

Now, great saints are emerging in large numbers, and quasi-emperors are standing in great numbers, which is clearly a sign of the coming of a great era.

The world and its environment underwent dramatic changes, ushering in the most glorious golden age.

The group of people in front of them were all related to Wang Mingyuan, and most of them had used the top-notch supernatural powers and methods created by Wang Mingyuan.

As a result, they reached their peak and most glorious state ahead of schedule.

Wang Mingyuan sat upright at the top, while many people below looked surprised and shocked.

They had assumed that the Lord of Baiyujing was a mysterious and powerful figure, but they never expected that this person would actually be Wang Mingyuan.

He was an unparalleled figure who broke records in the cultivation world.

Previously, Bai Yujing had been discussing methods to become an immortal, specifically the path to further breakthroughs after achieving the status of a Great Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Wang Mingyuan was only a low-level cultivator when he first arrived in Baiyujing.

The ending was surprisingly stunning.

But at the same time, there was a feeling of sudden realization.

"Perhaps this person was an unparalleled figure in ancient times, before the age of mythology. Perhaps he also had intricate connections with the Immortal Realm, but due to various changes, he began to cultivate anew..."

"His vision remains intact, and even if he embarks on the path of cultivation again, he will still be able to reach the peak in the shortest amount of time."

Thinking about it this way, all my doubts and questions were answered.

Looking at the various expressions on the faces of the people below, Wang Mingyuan nodded slightly.

"I think everyone has a lot of questions in their minds, and I will answer them one by one."

"Bai Yujing has been hidden between heaven and earth for so long, it is time for him to officially step onto the stage of the cultivation world!"

These words sent a jolt through the hearts of many people.

Before they could calm down, Wang Mingyuan directly recounted the changes that had occurred during this period.

"On the path to immortality, I killed many ancient emperors and celestial beings who once stirred up dark turmoil."

I am determined to quell the dark turmoil between heaven and earth. To ensure that this dark turmoil never erupts again…

boom!
It was as if a bolt of lightning had exploded in the void, leaving even the well-informed Black Emperor dumbfounded.

Even Ning Fei, the former number one general of the Immortal Emperor Dynasty, changed color at this moment.

The changes on the path to immortality were witnessed by everyone, and they shocked and amazed everyone.

That mysterious immortal who descended from the Celestial Realm gave everyone an unprecedented shock.

They killed the ancient emperors and celestial beings who had reached the pinnacle of their powers, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

This is truly the first time in history.

To their surprise, this mysterious and incredibly powerful figure turned out to be Wang Mingyuan.

Wang Mingyuan had anticipated the shock and astonishment these people would feel before he even spoke.

But he didn't stop; instead, he smiled and continued describing.

"The Immortal Realm is actually inextricably linked to me."

This new immortal realm is not a true immortal realm, but rather one of the original fragments of my world, while also incorporating some fragments of other worlds.

I discovered it when I was exploring the boundless chaotic sea.

"While the gates of the Immortal Realm were wide open to this world, I pulled that world over and disguised it as the Immortal Realm..."

Wang Mingyuan briefly described his plan.

Then, in the end, he sighed with regret.

"I overestimated the power of this group of Dark Sovereigns, Ancient Emperors, and Celestial Venerables."

I have been preparing for this for over two hundred years.

We have developed strategies and coping mechanisms in various aspects.

The four killing swords and array diagrams of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, along with several others. These were the work of a Great Emperor-level figure who had already broken through to the next level, yet had hidden himself in that realm beforehand…

"They turned out to be so weak, which was a huge disappointment. I wiped them all out by myself..."

Silence. The entire place was eerily quiet. Even Ye Fan, who was the most receptive to things, was speechless, unsure how to describe it.

Considering the preparations Wang Mingyuan had made for them on numerous occasions, and the many times he had them practice the Heavenly Transformation Scripture, they realized that Wang Mingyuan's actions were not without reason.

And other methods to help them break through and grow quickly.

They were under immense pressure during that period, especially Ye Fan.

For over a hundred years, he has been frantically fighting against the Dark Supreme and the Great Completion Ascension Body in his sea of ​​consciousness, all in order to awaken before the Dark Turmoil.

They hoped to have enough power to protect themselves during that period in order to quell the dark turmoil.

It turned out that Wang Mingyuan had not only made extensive preparations on his side, but also in other areas. Compared to the actual response, all those years of preparation were like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. (End of Chapter)
