The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 71: An Unexpected Turn of Events on the Path to Immortality Leaves Me with Regret

Strange rays of celestial light spilled from the cave entrance, instantly covering the entire ancient Big Dipper star.

An ancient sage intervened, intercepting a wisp of immortal light and refining it into his body, instantly making him feel as if his lifespan had been extended.

This is because these celestial lights contain a small amount of longevity substances, which can extend the lifespan of cultivators.

In an instant, one ancient saint after another made their move, intercepting the celestial light above the sky.

Boom!

At the same time, terrifying auras emanated from various forbidden zones, shaking the world.

The path to immortality reappears?
"By forcibly opening the path to immortality at the wrong time, does Taiyi really intend to defy the heavens?" An ancient supreme being gazed at Chu Tianshu's aging figure across endless mountains and rivers.

The path to immortality is something that supreme beings in various forbidden zones strive for their entire lives. They pay such a high price to cut off their own lives, just to pass through the path to immortality and achieve the path of immortality.
Since ancient times, there have been only two ways to embark on the path to immortality.

First, the path to immortality opens automatically.

The second possibility is that an extremely powerful emperor forcibly opened it.

The former, needless to say, requires waiting for countless ages.

The latter relies entirely on the intervention of an unparalleled expert to have any hope of breaking through the path to immortality.

Even if these supreme beings in forbidden zones were to recover to their former perfect and flawless imperial domains, they would still be far from achieving this.

"Taiyi has opened the path to immortality, should we follow him and give it a try?"

The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone gazed upon the radiant fairy cave, his heart filled with excitement.

"No! The path to immortality was merely forcibly opened by Taiyi. The immortal gate at the end of the path remains tightly closed and cannot be opened."

"The great feat that even the Emperor and several Heavenly Venerables could not accomplish in the past, is nothing but a pipe dream for an old and frail Taiyi!"

A cold voice came from the Immortal Tomb, seemingly disapproving of Chu Tianshu's actions.

As soon as the words were spoken, the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone, who had been eager to make a move, instantly calmed down.

Not bad!

Taiyi is strong, but he is old and frail. How far can he go on the path to immortality?

It should be known that the emperors of the mythical era exhausted the nine heavens and ten earths to collect countless divine medicines to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, which extended the peak lifespan of several celestial beings.

Most of those Celestial Venerables were the Nine Celestial Venerables of the Mythological Era, far surpassing ordinary Dao Prodigies.

Even with such a luxurious lineup, they couldn't pass the path to immortality.

Even after countless ages, although another peerless emperor forcibly opened the path to immortality, he ultimately failed to live up to his prime.

"Hey!"

"If Taiyi chooses to open the path to immortality during his peak period, he might have a chance to become an immortal!"

An ancient supreme being sighed, regretting that Taiyi was not at his peak at this moment.

But if Chu Tianshu truly reveals his peak, they might not be happy.

At this very moment, terrifying auras awakened from various forbidden zones of life.

The path to immortality has begun; this is a grand event that is rarely seen throughout history.

Even though these supreme beings in the forbidden zones didn't think much of Chu Tianshu, they still didn't want to miss out.

This is the belief that has kept them alive in this world. If it weren't for their hope of becoming immortals, they might have already passed away in the vast river of time.

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has opened the path to immortality. Could it be that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is about to become an immortal?"

At this moment, the powerful figures from various races who had been watching Chu Tianshu with all sorts of means were stunned, and they all remembered the rumors about the path to immortality.

Legend has it that the emperor of the mythological era established the Heavenly Court in order to enable his followers to become immortals.

However, at the crucial moment when the Emperor was about to succeed, he was betrayed by the Heavenly Court's deities, causing him to fail at the last minute and leaving behind endless regrets.

In ancient history, the path to immortality has appeared more than once, but it seems that apart from the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, no one has ever been known to have crossed the path to immortality and entered the Immortal Realm.

"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's achievements surpass those of the Heavenly Sovereign and his virtue exceeds that of the Emperor; he should be able to become an immortal!" "May His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor enter the Immortal Realm and attain immortality!"

May His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor enter the Immortal Realm and attain immortality!

Although the universe and all living beings do not know whether the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi has any hope of breaking into the Immortal Realm, they still hold the highest respect in their hearts and hope that this Heavenly Emperor, who has fought all his life, can attain immortality.

In an instant, a vast sound of prayer resounded throughout the universe, and wave after wave of faith power surged toward Chu Tianshu like an endless ocean.

"The absence of a supreme being means they don't have faith in my path to immortality?"

At the summit of the nameless hill, Chu Tianshu murmured to himself.

Despite the seemingly chaotic activity in the various forbidden zones, no supreme being from any of them has emerged, suggesting that the authorities are not optimistic about Chu Tianshu.

Of course, it is also possible that those supreme beings in the forbidden zones are afraid that they will not be able to defeat them on the path to immortality, and therefore dare not emerge into the world.

Chu Tianshu shook his head and, under the watchful eyes of heaven and earth, stepped onto the path to immortality.

As soon as Chu Tianshu stepped onto the path of immortality, he felt an endless stream of strange immortal light surging towards him, golden immortal dew sprinkling down, and auspicious energy rising for hundreds of millions of miles, as if he had truly stepped into the immortal realm.

Chu Tianshu was on the path to immortality. Brilliant immortal light was being refined into his body, and he immediately felt as if turbid air was being expelled from his physical body, giving him a sense of ascending to immortality.

"No wonder everyone, whether ordinary mortal or supreme being, wants to attain immortality."

Chu Tianshu carefully sensed the changes within his body and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Even just a little bit of immortal light leaking from the immortal realm has yielded such remarkable results, and he has even made some good gains.

If it were a true immortal realm, how astonishing would it be?
If Chu Tianshu, who came from the future, hadn't known the inside story, and if the true path to immortality required the help of several mortal immortals, he probably would have chosen to force his way onto the path to immortality in his later years!

cry!
Groan!
Roar!
Just then, dozens of ethereal figures manifested from the path to immortality and took the initiative to attack Chu Tianshu.

"Humph!"

Chu Tianshu snorted coldly, flicked his finger, and instantly shattered the surging illusory immortal spirits, turning them into a sky full of golden immortal rain.

At the same time, Chu Tianshu did not waste any of it and collected the scattered fairy rain.

These illusory images of immortals are all immortals who once truly existed. They were imprinted by heaven and earth, and are now merely manifesting through the power of the path to immortality.

There seemed to be a faint trace of the true laws of immortality, which was of great research value to Chu Tianshu.

Subsequently, Chu Tianshu continued his ascent deeper into the path to immortality, blasting away the surging illusory immortal spirits one by one.

The path to immortality may be extremely dangerous for those supreme beings in forbidden zones, but for Chu Tianshu at this moment, it is almost as easy as walking on flat ground.

Before long, Chu Tianshu had traveled a considerable distance on the path to immortality.

Just then, a mangled corpse lay across the path to immortality, its crystalline imperial blood splattering across the path. Strands of supreme imperial might cascaded down from the corpse, almost crushing space and time.

"The remains of the Taiyin Emperor?"

Chu Tianshu sensed the traces of the Great Dao left on the imperial corpse, which were exactly the same as the aura recorded in the Taiyin Ancient Scripture.

After sensing Chu Tianshu's aura, a phantom figure emerged from the remains of the corpse.

"Throughout the ages, I never imagined that another emperor would be born among our human race!"

A vast and ancient voice resounded, seemingly flowing through endless ages. The majestic imperial power filled the entire path to immortality, as if it were about to sever the past, present, and future.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Chu Tianshu cupped his hands in greeting.

The moment he saw Chu Tianshu, the Taiyin Emperor finally put his worries to rest.

"I am greatly pleased to see that you have successfully attained enlightenment. It seems that the human race is doing quite well."

"The path to immortality has been fraught with misfortune, leaving me with regrets!"

The illusory image of the Taiyin Emperor sighed deeply, and then quietly faded away.

Chu Tianshu shook his head, collected the remains of the Taiyin Human Emperor, and continued his journey deeper into the Path to Immortality.
