Humans are shrouded in mist, projecting their image across countless worlds.

Chapter 97 The Immortal Emperor's Gaze.

This is an unimaginably powerful being. He stands tall above all the heavens throughout the ages. Time, space, fate, cause and effect, and the immeasurable heavens are nothing more than a painting to be painted on before him. He simply stands there quietly, and he is the greatest being in all the heavens.

He looked back on the past with a smile on his lips and a nostalgic look in his tired eyes, but made no other move.

Behind him lay darkness, a world turned into ruins.

Who's watching me?

At this moment, He Lang's spiritual senses reacted, and he stopped his deception. He looked into the void, his eyes shining brightly, piercing through the years, tracing back to the source, wanting to explore the root of the spiritual warning.

He Lang activated his Heavenly Power, his blood energy flowing through the years, and the Heavenly Emperor's divine power stretched open the river of time. Gazing into the past, he swept across the future space-time filled with the mists of time, witnessing one future scene after another.

Unfortunately, even after gazing across countless ages, he still couldn't discern what that inexplicable sensation represented.

"Was the Heavenly Emperor really this amazing? It's a pity I arrived too late. The Heavenly Emperor has vanished into the depths of the plateau, and his whereabouts are unknown..."

The man above the heavens was somewhat surprised and regretful when he saw this scene.

After tracing back for a while in the Heavenly Emperor's Divine City, He Lang's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and he did not continue to deduce.

"Heavenly Emperor, are those supreme beings in the forbidden zone about to make a move?"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body's tone became much more intimate at this moment, and after He Lang stopped what he was doing, he asked repeatedly.

"It's nothing. Perhaps it's just the backlash from the passage of time after you regained that memory."

He Lang knew it shouldn't be a bad thing. With his current level of cultivation, the only beings who could leave no trace for him were either Immortal Kings or experts above Immortal Kings. Both of them were currently some distance away from him. He Lang sensed the avatars of the various realms but did not discover any other unusual activity, so he stopped worrying about it.

“Lord Ying, after countless ages, I never imagined we would meet again in such a setting.”

The carefree Celestial Venerable looked on with emotion, and the roles of the two had been reversed, just like those moments before.

"It's not too late now. Back then, you didn't become an immortal and created a forbidden zone. In this life, at the right time and in the right place, I am also the right person. The path to immortality must be opened in this life."

Upon hearing He Lang's words, the Carefree Celestial Venerable sighed at the ruthlessness of time, "It's a pity that I am no longer at my peak. I delayed my demise by cutting myself, but I also lost the ambition and aspirations of becoming an enlightened being."

"The damage to your Dao heart is not irreparable. I grew from weakness to strength because I had an invincible Dao heart. My Heavenly Heart Method is enough to repair your broken Dao heart. It is the sublimation of my former Winning Secret."

The carefree Celestial Venerable recalled the information he had gathered during the mythological era, and his expression turned strange.

They forgot that the person before them possessed an invincible Dao heart that had prevailed for eternity. In the mythological era, he had surpassed countless geniuses with his Dao heart, ascended to the Heavenly Venerable realm, and reached the pinnacle of the spiritual realm.

He didn't fight a single person along the way, yet he won every single time—small wins, big wins—until he was completely numb with winning! He calls this the "spiritual victory method," where he battles his opponents in his mind, and his mind triumphs over everything.

Indeed, it was incredibly strange that many outstanding individuals suffered inexplicable damage to their Dao heart and dissipated part of their spiritual energy after meeting He Lang.

In any case, during the period when He Lang ruled the universe, no one was convinced! After he disappeared, they all worked together to erase the history of that era.

"The Heavenly Heart Technique?" Both the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Great Accomplished Holy Body were somewhat curious, especially the Great Accomplished Holy Body, who had inquired about He Lang after leaving the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. In the autobiography of the Heavenly Emperor, which recorded all the deeds of the Heavenly Emperor after arriving in the Big Dipper, he had seen He Lang mention the Dao Heart Secret Technique, the Winning Character Secret, which He Lang had mentioned when he was in Purple Mountain.

Having regained his previously obscured memories, the Great Accomplished Holy Body became incredibly curious about the Heavenly Heart Method that He Lang had mentioned. The secret technique derived from the Winning Character Secret must be incredibly profound.

"The human body has endless potential, comparable to the vast universe. Those who attain the Dao must integrate the Heavenly Heart Imprint to prove their Dao. Since the vast universe has the Heavenly Heart Imprint, the human body should also have its own Heavenly Heart. My Heavenly Heart Method is based on this, allowing the mind to prove the Dao again within the human body and achieve the Heavenly Heart of the human body. At that time, the Dao Heart can also be perfected once again."

After He Lang finished speaking, he raised his hand and revealed the secrets of the Heavenly Heart Method in the void, turning this forbidden method into two Dao Seeds, which landed in the hearts of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable and the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

"Observe the gods, the laws, and the Dao with your heart. No wonder you were able to attain enlightenment in the mythical era. It's truly astonishing!" The Carefree Celestial Venerable, having seen the Heavenly Heart Method, understood that He Lang's attainment of enlightenment in the mythical era was indeed not due to opportunism.

Transforming the illusory into the real and cultivating the false into the true, this kind of achievement in the spiritual path is extremely extraordinary. If he continues on this path, one day when the vast universe and the eternal space-time are transformed into his heart, wouldn't all living beings throughout the ages be transformed from his single thought?
Transform the years, transform all living beings, transform eternity.

Considering this possibility, and linking it to He Lang's incredible combat power in this life, the Carefree Celestial Venerable felt that He Lang might have accumulated a lot of experience. At least in the mythological world, he had seen He Lang's past life where he attained the Dao and became a Venerable.

In this Heavenly Heart Technique, the Carefree Celestial Venerable truly saw hope in regaining the pinnacle of the Imperial Path and repairing his realm.

As for the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, it represents the possibility of attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor. Now that the Heavenly Heart Imprint in the Great Universe has been fused with He Lang, if one cultivates the Heavenly Heart of the Human Body, one can break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Heart Imprint in the Great Universe.

After in-depth research, the Celestial Venerable of Freedom discovered some of the secrets of the Heavenly Heart Method: "It contains some of the secrets of the Chaos Body. So that's how it is! If it is combined with the Longevity Method of the Underworld, perhaps the artificial Chaos Body of the Underworld can really be successfully created."

He studied the method of immortality in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, and also saw the Heavenly Art of Crossing Tribulations of the Underworld Lord. He also studied the method of immortality in the Underworld, and suddenly many things came to mind.

He Lang nodded, acknowledging the guess of the Free and Unfettered Celestial Venerable, "There are indeed some mysteries of the Chaos Body. It seems you have studied the Chaos Body quite a bit."

"Compared to your achievements, my research is nothing. However, speaking of the underworld, I am reminded that the Celestial Venerable of Immortality also survived and is now in seclusion in the Immortal Tomb."

"It's a pity. He once pioneered the Mystic Codex, reaching the pinnacle of the Celestial Venerable realm in the field of life, yet he too succumbed to the ravages of time."

The Carefree Celestial Venerable sighed, recalling He Lang's words about destroying the Dark Turbulent Ones. Clearly, He Lang would not let the Eternal Celestial Venerable go.

"Heavenly Emperor, I need to go into seclusion for a while to see if I can return to the pinnacle of the Imperial Path." The Carefree Celestial Venerable proposed to go into seclusion.

Given his lifespan, even if he were to return to the pinnacle of imperial power, he could still wait a hundred years or so, provided there was no major war.

"Go!"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body couldn't wait to return to its Heavenly Palace and begin its secluded cultivation.

After seeing off the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Great Accomplished Holy Body, the gates of the Heavenly Emperor Palace closed automatically.

The Heavenly Emperor's Divine City instantly became illusory, entering the spiritual realm and merging with the Heavenly Emperor's Divine City at the center of the spiritual realm.

Meanwhile, the ancient scriptures and secret techniques and divine medicines listed on the Heavenly Emperor Ranking, which are known to all beings in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, respectively include the exchange of Heavenly Heart Method, Reincarnation Divine Medicine Fruit, and Holy Spirit Divine Medicine Fruit.

He Lang sat upright on the imperial throne, completely merging with the spiritual realm. He absorbed the wisdom and Dao fruits of all living beings, propelling his realm to new heights. Chaotic energy permeated the air, and terrifying scenes of creation and destruction appeared around him.
