The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils
Chapter 519 Emperor and Sovereign, the Unprecedented Emergence of Wushi
In the years that followed, one after another, cultivators from all races emerged to attain enlightenment: the Qilin Ancient Emperor, the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, the Myriad Dragon Emperor…
Each one is incredibly powerful, aligned with the Heavenly Mark of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, overlooking the world.
Of course, they were self-aware enough to know that they were not the most powerful beings in this world.
At the very least, the Golden World Tree possesses the rank of a Celestial King; it simply doesn't act, instead focusing on organizing the myriad paths and releasing a massive amount of Great Dao rules.
Once it strikes, the heavens and earth will collapse, and human beings will be nothing more than ants.
Besides this colossal World Tree that blots out the sky, there are also powerful beings who pursue the path to immortality in the mortal world, each one a figure defying the heavens.
Among them are the renowned Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable, Emperor Venerable, and Undying Heavenly Emperor.
They simply live in seclusion and will not easily emerge to compete with the ancient emperors for prestige.
Of course, their names still circulate in the world, and there are endless legends about them.
The most common pathfinders among all races, those ancient emperors, chose to stand on the Ascension Platform. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Dharma-ending Age, the lifespan of living beings is limited. Who doesn't yearn to become an immortal and an ancestor, living forever?
Indeed, there is the path to immortality in the mortal world, high above all, and even the pinnacle of immortality, overlooking the ages. But immortals who achieve immortality through normal means are also immortals, and can also live forever.
It wasn't that these ancient emperors were cowardly and dared not tread the path to immortality in the mortal world, but rather that they were self-aware. Throughout history, there have been far too many great emperors and celestial beings who failed on the path to immortality. They had reached the pinnacle of glory and should have soared to the immortal realm, achieving immortality and longevity, but instead, they fell halfway and turned into dust.
With so many vivid examples before them, they had no choice but to be cautious.
If these Dao-proving cultivators are the strongest in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and have no rivals in the vast world, then they will surely become arrogant and look down on everyone.
But the truth is that this is the hometown of two great Heavenly Emperors, where the Golden World Tree of Immortal King level is rooted, guarding the rules of the Great Dao, and where there are many immortals in the mortal world, as well as beings who are forging ahead on this path.
They are not the strongest; they don't even come close to being the strongest.
In this situation, they would naturally not be as blindly arrogant as Shi Yi remembered, believing themselves to be the best in the world with no rivals.
Therefore, it is understandable that some ancient emperors chose to ascend directly to immortality.
In fact, Shi Yi left the Ascension Platform hoping that some beings would all be piled up in this realm, and if they wanted to survive, they would have no choice but to cut off their own life and start a dark upheaval.
Now that the Ascension Platform exists, these Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors no longer need to do such things. They can simply ascend to the Immortal Realm and enjoy a massive amount of longevity substances, increasing their lifespan many times over.
With their astonishing lifespans, they have the opportunity to become immortals. Once they advance to the level of true immortals, as long as no calamity such as the destruction of the realm occurs, they will be eternally immortal.
As for those beings who aspire to climb to the summit, they can stay and pursue the path to immortality in the mortal world.
"boom!"
The last being bearing the title "Emperor" voluntarily stripped away the Heavenly Heart Mark, relinquishing the opportunity to attain enlightenment.
In an instant, the traces of the Dao he left in the myriad paths of heaven and earth were erased.
All things in heaven and earth sensed this, and the Heavenly Heart Mark became empty, signifying that the world once again had the opportunity to attain the Dao and become an emperor. Prodigies from all sides emerged one after another, engaging in fierce competition.
As for the last being with the title "Emperor," he stepped forward to the Ascension Platform and stopped in front of the two stone tablets that read "From Mortal to Immortal" and "The Pinnacle of Immortality."
On one side is the Immortal Realm, a vast expanse of stars; on the other side is the Mortal Path to Immortality, a path fraught with peril and near-death experiences.
This creature did not hesitate and chose the latter directly.
"In this life, I will become a War Immortal!" His words shook the vast heavens.
Cao Yusheng, who had lived through eight lifetimes, and the Emperor, who had become a mortal immortal and was preparing to leave the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, looked in this direction and heard the whispers of that being.
"Indeed, his courage is commendable, and he is worthy of the title of 'Battle Saint Emperor'. However, becoming a Battle Immortal in one lifetime is not something that can be done so easily. Back then, neither of the two Heavenly Emperors managed to walk this path, let alone anyone else."
However, it's not entirely hopeless. After all, the environment in which that Heavenly Emperor attempted to transform into a Battle Immortal is incomparable to the current environment.
That was the cruel era of imperial decline, where immortal kings died in battle and true immortals shed blood. Their laws shrouded the sky, becoming an insurmountable chasm preventing living beings from becoming immortals. If it weren't for this constraint, that Heavenly Emperor would probably have succeeded long ago. Cao Yusheng said with a sigh, a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
"I've heard you speak of the era of the fallen emperors many times, Master. Was it really that cruel? Compared to the current order of the heavens, it was indeed terrifying, but it also aroused longing in people's hearts," the Emperor murmured.
Cao Yusheng smiled and shook his head. The Emperor was born in the best of times, how could he understand the cruelty of the era of the Emperor's Fall? The Four Dark Emperors were high above, regularly reaping the benefits of the myriad realms. Above them was the Dark Primordial Emperor, which was a desperate situation for any living being in the myriad realms.
In other words, the two Heavenly Emperors, with their extraordinary abilities, broke through the dark shackles and restored clarity to all the heavens and the myriad realms. No one else could have done it.
Even though the Emperor was amazing, having lived nine lifetimes and become a mortal immortal, Cao Yusheng didn't think he could do what Shuang Shi had done.
The Emperor's eyes flickered. He naturally knew Cao Yusheng's thoughts. He also acknowledged that the two Heavenly Emperors were unparalleled and would be remembered for eternity, but he had never actually seen them or fought against them. Naturally, he had the idea of being on par with them.
"Master, it's time for me to leave. I've already reached the realm of immortality in the mortal world, and it's time to pursue the next unparalleled realm—the pinnacle of immortality," the Emperor whispered.
Cao Yusheng nodded. He was almost there too. He only needed one last transformation to become an immortal in the mortal world, untouched by the passage of time. He was still a little short, and it would take a long time to be refined.
"I hope you can stand shoulder to shoulder with those two Heavenly Emperors. The myriad realms need such protagonists to emerge, to catch up with them, and to fight alongside them," Cao Yusheng said.
The Emperor chuckled softly, his eyes brimming with confidence.
Finally, he bid farewell and left this world. The Emperor had successfully overcome the tribulation of becoming an immortal in the mortal realm. His combat power was already unfathomable, making him a strong figure among immortal beings.
Besides the Emperor's success, the Undying Emperor also succeeded. He came with the support of his entire clan. The path of reversing nine lifetimes had been pre-planned for him by the Immortal Phoenix Clan, so the Undying Emperor didn't need to exert any effort in the planning. He could simply follow the steps to attempt to break through to the Immortal Path in the Mortal World. Cao Yusheng did not interfere with the Emperor, but only shared some past experiences with him, leaving everything to the Emperor himself.
The Immortal Emperor left earlier than the Emperor, who stayed behind and spent some time meditating under the Golden World Tree before finally departing.
Cao Yusheng sighed softly. The two stones of his generation had long since become immortals in the mortal world, reaching the pinnacle of immortality, breaking through the King to become Emperor, and transforming into Immortal Emperors, and went to fight their way to other worlds. Their offspring had also succeeded early on and traveled to all the heavens and myriad worlds. Now, his disciple Emperor Venerable and his descendant Undying Heavenly Emperor have successively achieved success and left the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
He remains here, still undergoing transformation; his journey has indeed been long and arduous.
"Alas, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their resolve..." Now, all he could do was sigh like this.
After the Battle Saint Emperor removed the Heavenly Heart Mark, a fierce battle for the Dao unfolded, and in the end, the human cultivators had the last laugh.
One of the most outstanding human prodigies reached the end, known as the "Great Emperor Fuxi," and his appearance brought the title of "Great Emperor" back to the forefront of the world's attention.
At the same time, a golden bloodline rose up in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, known as the Undying Holy Body. When cultivated to its fullest potential, it could rival the Great Emperor of the time.
Not only the Undying Holy Body, but also many other powerful physiques. Although they have not yet attained the Dao, their combat power is extraordinary. Those beings with outstanding talents and amazing abilities have even attained the Dao in a different way, not letting the current emperor monopolize the spotlight.
In this life, they may not be able to attain enlightenment, merge with the Heavenly Heart Mark, and suppress all other paths. However, with the Ascension Platform, they can go to the Immortal Realm, to a broader stage, to shine and contribute.
As time went by, after the reign of Emperor Fuxi, human geniuses emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, successively vying for the throne and continuing the title of "Emperor".
The Void Emperor, the Eternal Universe Emperor, and others were all incredibly powerful and possessed extraordinary talent and abilities.
However, Cao Yusheng had seen far too many prodigies. No matter how powerful or talented they were, could they surpass the Twin Stones? Even half of their talent would be enough to become a mortal immortal.
It wasn't until the appearance of an empress known as "Ruthless Woman" that Cao Yusheng took notice. This woman's life story is somewhat tragic, but it is precisely because of this tragedy that she is so powerful.
Based on Cao Yusheng's observations, this ruthless empress's talent might be even more astonishing than that of his disciple, the Emperor.
If it weren't for the rise of the ruthless empress, forcing him to lie dormant underground, he would have definitely taken this woman of extraordinary talent as his disciple.
He was self-aware enough to realize that he couldn't catch up with Shuangshi, but it would be a great achievement if the disciples he trained could catch up with Shuangshi, even if they could only catch a glimpse of their backs.
Although he was unable to take on any disciples, Cao Yusheng often sought out the Empress to discuss the Dao with her. She frequently inquired about the deeds of the two Heavenly Emperors and the resurrection of the dead.
Cao Yusheng answered all her questions one by one. Upon learning that the two Heavenly Emperors had resurrected the deceased after they were promoted to Immortal Emperors, a bright light suddenly shone in the Empress's eyes.
Cao Yusheng knew that the Empress must have lost someone important, which was why she was looking for a way to resurrect the deceased.
Subsequently, the ruthless empress removed the Heavenly Heart Mark and embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world. This was because Cao Yusheng had mentioned that the two Heavenly Emperors had said that if one could become an immortal in the mortal world, break through the King realm to become an Emperor, and even advance to the Immortal Emperor realm, it would be easier and the chances would be greater.
Since that's the case, the ruthless empress naturally wouldn't rush to improve her cultivation level. She wanted to lay a solid foundation to prepare for her breakthrough to Quasi-Immortal Emperor and then Immortal Emperor.
As time passed, Cao Yusheng finally lived out his ninth life. At this moment, he was filled with emotion. He had finally reached the same level as Shuangshi. Back then, he had been gradually left behind and couldn't even see Shuangshi's taillights. Now, he had reached this level. Although it had taken a while, he had finally succeeded.
Those who establish themselves in this field are immune to the ravages of time and the aura of the Dharma-ending Age. They can nurture immortal substances within their bodies, making them virtually indistinguishable from true immortals. This is why there is the saying "to become an immortal in the mortal world," and further on, "to become an immortal in the mortal world." In the Dharma-ending Age, becoming a true immortal being is the ultimate achievement.
Cao Yusheng has just entered his ninth life, so he naturally needs to mature before he can ascend to immortality in the mortal world. However, his combat power has already soared, and going against the tide to defeat immortals is no problem for him.
At this moment, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also welcomed an amazing being. He was born a saint, his father was an indestructible saint, and his mother was a primordial Dao embryo, giving birth to him with the heaven-defying physique of a primordial saint and Dao embryo.
Fearing that his foundation was too deep, his parents severed his path to sainthood before releasing him from the seal, waiting for the opportunity to attain enlightenment in future generations.
Later, the parents of this being ascended to the Immortal Realm, choosing not to follow the mortal path of immortality. Their offspring was sealed in a certain place, and will be born when the time comes.
"boom!"
Another opportunity to attain enlightenment arose, and the terrain there suddenly split open, giving birth to a genius with unparalleled talent. He called himself "Wu Shi" and began to walk the world, sweeping aside his peers.
This is an unimaginable golden age, where all kinds of physiques have emerged, and countless people are vying for the throne.
Many of them were sealed away by their elders and left for future generations.
It is precisely because of the existence of these beings that attaining enlightenment has become increasingly difficult and arduous.
Cao Yusheng noticed this phenomenon, but he didn't pay any attention to it. The more the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were rolled up, the more it conformed to the true meaning of the Twin Stones' preservation of the Dharma-ending Age. It was like raising a Gu worm, rolling up a King of Rolls, who would naturally be of great use.
If you can't beat the opponent, you can go to the Ascension Platform.
It's important to know that the Ascension Platform isn't only for those who have attained enlightenment; anyone with exceptional combat power can attempt it, since the Ascension Platform tests combat power within the same level.
However, everyone yearns to attain enlightenment in the Dharma-ending Age, and such experience is a plus once you go to the Immortal Realm.
A large number of talented cultivators couldn't wait any longer and jumped out to begin their journey in this era, creating a lively and exciting scene, but also incredibly cruel.
To everyone's surprise, a being known as "Wu Shi" rose to power. He was virtually unmatched among his peers, and no matter who he encountered or what kind of physique they possessed, he crushed them all with overwhelming force. It was as if those famous physiques and those geniuses with extraordinary talents were merely there to highlight his invincibility.
When Cao Yusheng first heard the name "Wu Shi," he felt a strange sense of familiarity. The next moment, he remembered a name that had been buried for a long time: "Wu Zhong Immortal King" from the Immortal Ancient Era.
"Without beginning or end," these are the words of that Immortal King. Back then, the puppy carried the last drop of Immortal King Wuzhong's essence blood to that heavenly land, where it burned its essence blood in that rough stone chamber. Shi Yi once commented that perhaps after thousands of lifetimes, he would reappear in the world.
Now that Wushi has appeared out of nowhere, Shi Yi's prophecy seems to have come true.
Suddenly, Cao Yusheng thought of another problem: if Wushi appeared, that dead dog would probably show itself as well. (End of Chapter)
