Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 621 Forging the Path to Supremacy
After a period of rest, the group set off again.

This time, it doubled, and lasted for two hundred years.

However, Qingyi, Tianjiaoyi, Cao Yusheng, and others remained stuck, unable to break through.

"Why? Is the Dharma-ending Age really that terrible, cutting off the path of cultivators and leaving no hope?" someone sighed.

Seven hundred years have passed, and some have even cultivated for more than that number of years, yet they still cannot become supreme beings; the Great Dao is too lofty and distant.

Some people are speculating whether, at this age, any of those who entered the Immortal Realm back then have already attained enlightenment.

"Don't be impatient. There are plenty of Immortal Kings who attained enlightenment in one or two thousand years. You are still young. Accumulate knowledge now, and the benefits will be revealed in the future."

Lin Fan comforted him, saying that he had lived through the Dharma-ending Age and had seen too many heroes throughout the long river of time, so he understood this very well.

As the Dharma-ending Age arrives, the will of Heaven will strike with a single blow, making it even more difficult for any being slain by it to attain enlightenment again than ever before.

No matter where you are, even if you escape this realm, it's useless. It's like being branded, engraved in your bones, and very difficult to change.

"Don't be discouraged. If you attain enlightenment in the Dharma-ending Age, you will far surpass other periods under such oppression," Shi Hao advised.

In fact, what the two said was not false. The end of Dharma also has its advantages. Once one soars to the heavens, one will definitely become stronger.

"That's right. It's only been seven hundred years. How can one expect to become a Supreme Being? There are plenty of people who have become Supreme Beings in their thousands of years."

The horned ant is carefree and tries to take things easy.

A group of people were also comforting themselves, not comparing themselves to Lin Fan and Shi Hao, who had undergone two transformations, but rather comparing themselves to people of the same level.

"Hmm... If you want to achieve enlightenment quickly, there are actually ways." Lin Fan stroked his chin and pondered.

Many people were taken aback, and all turned to look at him, their eyes shining with anticipation.

“But the process will be even more brutal…” Lin Fan explained.

His method was essentially to put a group of ferocious beasts together, have them all fight, and finally determine the winner.

At that time, one will rise above all others, stepping on blood and bones and crushing all competitors, and ascend to become the supreme being.

For a moment, everyone fell silent. Was this some kind of attempt to raise a venomous insect?
But the people present were either friends, brothers, or relatives; how could one bring oneself to do it?

If they are going to kill each other, they might as well not become supreme beings!

Shi Hao was speechless. Only a ruthless person like Brother Xiao Fan could come up with such a method.

"What are you thinking? I said to gather all the geniuses in the universe together to compete and overcome the challenges!"

Lin Fan stared wide-eyed. He planned to have people build teleportation channels in various parts of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and then go along a designated path to explore.

The final destination is set deep in the no-man's land, beneath the gates of the Imperial Pass, similar to the ancient starry road of later times, where heroes vied for the throne.

Along the way, there are passes and checkpoints, and the winners will have the opportunity to go to the next city, with each level being higher than the last.

In this way, those who fight at the same level and leave their names at the end are the victors and have a high probability of achieving enlightenment.

"Wonderful! It can indeed bring out a person's potential, elevate them in battle, and help them gain enlightenment in the face of life and death."

"This can be called the Path of Supreme Power!"

Many people agree that it is feasible and are looking forward to such a challenge.

Furthermore, improving oneself through battle and fighting one's way up to the top, competing with other heroes, perfectly aligns with the system Lin Fan created.

Instead of seeking externally and conforming to the heavens, we seek internally, cultivating the primordial Qi and constantly finding ways to open the doors within our bodies.

"Go back and have someone build the Path to Supreme Power, starting with the Heavenly God realm. Once you reach that realm, you can participate in the trials."

A group of people returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and immediately began their work, causing a sensation in various places. The emergence of the Supreme Path shook the world and caused a global uproar, with many cultivators eager to participate.

Most importantly, the Holy Emperor's Palace and the Heavenly Court will place some rewards at various checkpoints, including secret techniques and insights from past sages.

"boom!"

On this day, altars were erected in various places, leading directly to the no-man's land, and only those at the Celestial Realm could participate.

It's not that it's limited to this level, but for those with lower cultivation, embarking on this journey would be extremely dangerous, with no chance of return.

Be aware that this road is in a dangerous, uninhabited area!
Of course, Lin Fan and Shi Hao also took action to eliminate some of the hidden dangers along the way, so that people could build cities and garrison them.

There are a total of eighty-one levels, with the Imperial City as the final destination. The victor can leave their name on the wall, which will be remembered for all time and admired by future generations.

"Heavens! Passing the Path to Supreme Power means receiving personal guidance from the Holy Emperor and having the chance to achieve immortality!"

"Moreover, the Holy Emperor Palace and the Heavenly Court will not participate in the competition for the ancient road within the next three hundred years, which is an opportunity."

In an instant, the entire world was in an uproar, with exclamations rising and falling.

It must be said that this move has indeed caused a great stir, ushering in a golden age and an era of competition among all races.

Time flies, and three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. The ancient road has gone from being deserted at the beginning to being crowded with people today.

People are no longer so afraid of no-man's-lands, and are actively exploring outwards from the passes.

Indeed, many valuable items have been unearthed over the years, including fragments of supreme magical artifacts from the ancient immortal era, as well as some secret realms and ancient texts.

Of course, there are gains and losses. The no-man's-land is fraught with danger. How can one pursue opportunities without making sacrifices?

Occasionally, strange things would appear that were hard to understand, but they would soon be suppressed by the Holy Emperor's Palace and the Heavenly Court.

Sometimes, when faced with problems that they couldn't solve, Lin Fan and Shi Hao would step in to quell them and ensure that the city wouldn't fall.

Therefore, even with some setbacks, the passion of cultivators from all races could not be extinguished, and they continued to learn and grow on this path.

"Haha... Three hundred years have passed, it's our turn to step in and compete for the supreme position!" The Heavenly Horned Ant laughed and began its challenge.

Not only him, but Ning Fei, Chi Long, Cao Yusheng and others also participated, starting to compete with the various prodigies.

"Who is the most respected person in the world? Only I, Cao the Great Heavenly Venerable, am the one! You little brats, tremble with fear!" Cao Yusheng shouted.

On the ancient road, he pretended to be weak while actually being very strong, thus incurring the wrath of both heaven and man.

In addition, there was an unorthodox stone that transformed into a streak of light, striking down heroes from all races and making them stand out—a truly outrageous act.

This is the God-Slaying Stone!
One person, one stone—that's so unfair! Lin Fan and Shi Hao were speechless and couldn't help but want to kick him a couple of times.

The Path to Supreme Power, meant to hone a cultivator's invincible spirit, has been turned into a complete mess by these two scoundrels.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the world became restless, and a terrifying aura shook the area, awakening all the powerful figures who had been hiding behind closed doors.

In the sky, it was as if a thunderclap was exploding, cutting through the nine heavens and descending upon this land.

"The aura of the Immortal Realm!"

Lin Fan frowned, his eyes shimmering with celestial light as he looked at the crack that had opened up, resembling a celestial gate.

Sure enough, not long after, a being descended upon this realm, visited the Holy Emperor's Palace, possessed extraordinary strength, and specifically requested to see Lin Fan.

"Where is Lin Fan? We are here on the orders of the Immortal King to deliver an invitation to you to the Immortal Realm to attend the grand event!" someone shouted.
