The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 199 The God Emperor Achieves Immortal Status in the Mortal World

"Can!"

After a moment's thought, the Thai Emperor granted the Immortal Phoenix's request. He was indeed a rare talent for becoming an immortal in the mortal world; even his predecessor, the Undying Emperor, eventually succeeded in traversing the path to immortality.

Although his achievements as a mortal in the strange world are slightly inferior, his potential is still considerable.

Furthermore, now that the Celestial Phoenix has been purified, its potential is no less than that of the Undying Emperor, and it certainly has the hope of walking the path of immortality in the mortal world.

If he can successfully navigate the mortal realm and achieve immortality, his future achievements will be limitless; becoming a Celestial King will only be the beginning.

As Chu Tianshu's idol, the Thai Emperor also knew a lot about the strange race and naturally hoped that more immortals would emerge from the mortal world to prepare for the future war.

After all, even someone as powerful as the Desolate Emperor couldn't completely quell the unrest, which shows just how terrifying it was.

Although the Dark King cannot break through the range of the sword light for the time being, according to the scenes Chu Tianshu saw in the long river of time, the Dark King will ascend the dam within fifty to one million years after Ye Fan and his companions enter the Immortal Realm.

At that time, the dark turmoil will once again spread to all the heavens and myriad realms, and may even affect the human world.

According to Chu Tianshu's estimate, there should still be about 700,000 to 800,000 years until Ye Fan's era. Adding the time it takes for Ye Fan to become an immortal, it is estimated that there will still be about 2 million years.

If more immortals could leave the mortal realm, the human world would be safer.

Most importantly, Chu Tianshu suspected that dark beings at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level would appear in the Boundary Sea at that time, and time was running out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the King!"

On the other side, Xianhuang immediately bowed to the Thai King. He had only been trying his luck, but he hadn't expected the Thai King to agree to his request.

"Little Phoenix, cultivate diligently and strive to become a Mortal Immortal as soon as possible, and step into the Immortal King level. The dark curtain of the future has gradually risen, and you don't have much time left."

After the King finished speaking, he gently waved his hand, sending the fairy phoenix away from where she stood.

In an instant, the immortal phoenix felt dizzy and disoriented. When he could see his surroundings clearly again, he found himself back in his lair.

"As expected of a legendary being, even I didn't react at all." Immortal Phoenix said with emotion.

But soon, he focused his attention on the two sentences the Thai king had said before he left.

"Does the Thai King hope that I can become a Mortal Immortal or even an Immortal King as soon as possible? Judging from his words, it seems that a great change is about to happen in the future. At least I need to reach the Immortal King level to have the strength to protect myself."

Xianhuang was no fool; she quickly deciphered the meaning behind the Thai Emperor's last two sentences and her expression immediately changed drastically.

What kind of catastrophe could have left even a Celestial King with only the ability to protect himself? The Celestial Phoenix felt a chill rise from the depths of his heart, and boundless darkness enveloped him, as if it were about to devour him.

As a celestial being, he was well aware of the power of the Celestial King. The Celestial King was an existence capable of creating a complete ancient world. Even in the Celestial Realm, the Celestial King was a top-tier powerhouse.

However, judging from the King's words, even the Celestial King would only be able to protect himself in the future and would be unable to reverse the overall situation, causing the Celestial Phoenix's mood to become heavy.

"I can't worry about too much now. I need to become a Mortal Immortal first, otherwise I might not even be qualified to participate in the war."

He shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions. His only option now was to quickly traverse the mortal path to immortality and reach the realm of the Immortal King, so that he would have a chance to control his own destiny in the future; otherwise, everything would be nothing but a fleeting dream.

Fortunately, the Thai king explained to him the key to becoming a mortal immortal, clearing away the fog that shrouded his path and giving the immortal phoenix more confidence in achieving this goal.

Otherwise, if you wander around like a headless fly, you'll most likely collapse on the way. After all, this isn't the Immortal Realm; to become a Mortal Immortal, you must endure one death after another.

In the time that followed, the Immortal Phoenix never appeared in the world again. She became even more reclusive than in her previous two lives, devoting herself wholeheartedly to researching the method of reverse transformation in the divine mountain.

Although the Celestial Phoenix Emperor had not set foot in the mortal realm for a long time, no major changes occurred in the human world. All the races lived in peace and harmony.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Heavenly Heart Mark in the Nine Heavens has finally become unstable again.

Countless geniuses awoke from their slumber, breaking through their divine sources and gazing towards the heavens.

"Thirty-eight thousand years! The Immortal Phoenix Emperor is truly remarkable. He has lived for nearly a hundred thousand years across three lifetimes. Apart from a few others, he is probably the first person to achieve this!" A prodigy couldn't help but exclaim.

The Immortal Phoenix is ​​truly incredibly long-lived. If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would have already lived through three generations, and only now is it time for its time to come to an end.

"Not only that, but it is rumored that the God Emperor who attained enlightenment in the ancient era lived for even longer than the Immortal Phoenix. Even those beings in the forbidden zones could not outlive him."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. What was lurking in the forbidden zone was no secret, but they never expected that someone could outlast a Supreme Being at their peak. This was quite terrifying.

"The God Emperor? Could it be that he, like the Heavenly Emperor, attained immortality in the mortal realm?"

"I don't know. Perhaps he succeeded, perhaps he failed, but he may still be struggling in the mortal world. In any case, he has never manifested his divine power again since his death." The man shook his head. He also learned about the God Emperor's deeds after excavating an ancient site. Unfortunately, the God Emperor's era was too long ago, and much of it has been buried in the long river of history.

"Alas, it's not that easy to become an immortal in the mortal world. Throughout history, only the Heavenly Emperor has been confirmed to have become an immortal. As for the others, they are only suspected to have done so."

Some people sighed and said that since ancient times, the word "immortal" has trapped countless heroes and great men, making them wise in the beginning but confused in the end, and even willing to destroy everything they created. Unfortunately, most of them failed to achieve their wish.

Just as people were marveling at this, suddenly, a strange ray of light came from the depths of the universe.

In the blink of an eye, the entire world dimmed, leaving only that brilliant celestial light shining, as if illuminating all the heavens and spreading throughout the ages.

"Then...what is that?"

"Legend has it that if someone attains immortality, celestial light will illuminate all realms. Could it be that someone has transformed into an immortal in the mortal world?"

No one could have imagined that such a tremendous change would occur in an era when the Immortal Phoenix Emperor was about to pass away.

Before long, beings recognized the origin of the celestial phenomenon from ancient texts. In an instant, the entire human realm was in an uproar, whether it was ordinary cultivators or those lurking in forbidden zones.

The divine light shines upon the past and present; this is an unprecedented event. No one could have imagined that they would witness such a miracle. It's like living in a myth, something unbelievable.

"Who has become an immortal? The Underworld Lord? The Celestial Venerable of the Spiritual Treasure? The Emperor? Or the Undying Heavenly Emperor?"

An old antique shouted loudly. He clearly knew many secrets and knew that there were still many people on the path to immortality in the human world. He believed that one of them should be the one to become an immortal this time.

"There really are people who can ascend to immortality in the mortal world; that person was not lying!"

On the ancient star of the Big Dipper, a large tomb exploded open with a bang, and an ancient chariot rose up. Inside the chariot sat a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly grace, and behind him was a sword of immortality.

Deep within the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, a terrifying aura awakened, and soon after, a terrifying figure, both godlike and demonic, emerged.

On a primordial ancient star, a Taoist priest in black and white, who was preaching to his disciples, also noticed the phenomenon of becoming an immortal. However, he only glanced at it and then stopped paying attention, continuing to preach to his three thousand disciples.

Within the human realm, other places also experienced reactions to varying degrees.

……

Regardless of how shocked the world was, someone did indeed ascend to immortality in the mortal realm, causing a cataclysmic change in the world.

No matter where in the world, one could see the celestial light that illuminated the past and present. The entire human realm seemed to have been revived, with endless rain of light showering across the land—celestial dew condensed from the heavens and earth. Golden lotuses appeared in the void, attracting a frenzy of people to scramble for them.

Even the myriad paths of heaven and earth became exceptionally active, revealing many profound mysteries, and countless extraordinary phenomena appeared to celebrate the birth of this immortal.

Just as the world was cheering, the light of immeasurable calamity began to gather, and terrifying immortal laws appeared. A terrifying pressure permeated the entire world, and even the supreme beings were terrified and knew that they could not withstand it for long.

On a sacred mountain somewhere in the universe, a beautiful and graceful phoenix gazed at the great tribulation of becoming an immortal in the chaos, and couldn't help but show envy.

If the world were to see this, they would surely know that the Celestial Phoenix has already lived through her fourth life.

"The tribulation to become an immortal has arrived. Which sage has quietly reached this point?"

Not long ago, when the Immortal Phoenix had just lived out his fourth life and was about to remove the Heavenly Heart Mark, a light of immortality suddenly shone through the ages, leaving him stunned.

But soon, his heart filled with excitement. Someone was able to trigger a great tribulation for immortality in the mortal realm, proving that achieving immortality in the mortal world was indeed possible.

At least for now, both the Supreme Heavenly Emperor and this unknown being have verified this. This stirred the Immortal Phoenix's heart, making her wish she could take his place.

Rumble!
Just as people were marveling at the moment, the great calamity of becoming an immortal in the chaos was finally brewing, and its violent power washed away the chaos and shook the ten directions.

Even across endless time and space, people can sense the terrifying nature of the tribulation. If the tribulation of becoming an immortal were to erupt in the world, it would inevitably cause great damage to the human realm.

Click, click, click!
The vast tribulation of lightning engulfed everything, the void collapsed, and all things ceased to exist. Terrifying illusory figures of lightning emerged from the tribulation of becoming an immortal, accompanied by immortal laws with every move they made, a single strike enough to kill an extreme being.

Beneath the lightning tribulation, there was a majestic figure, terrifyingly powerful, clad in battle armor, his supreme imperial might shaking heaven and earth.

Boom boom boom!
In an instant, the boundless light of calamity completely engulfed that area, and the imposing figure was also obscured by the light.

However, some people recognized his origin based on the battle suit he was wearing.

It was none other than the legendary God Emperor who had lived the longest in the world.
