I, the Chaos Being, joined the chat group at the start.

All living things in nature, except for humans, can be called demons, and most of them have joined the Demon Court.

The Ancestral Witches were powerful individually, but they were weak and could not withstand a group attack.

"Brothers, is this battle truly necessary? The war between the Lich and Demon races has dragged on for years, resulting in too many casualties," Houtu asked as she entered.

"Sister Houtu, what brings you here?" Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch of Rain, looked surprised.

"Sister Houtu, didn't you go to the human race?" The ancestral witch Zhurong exclaimed in surprise.

“Sister Houtu, you’ve finally arrived,” Dijiang said.

"Brothers, for us Ancestral Witches, staying here at Buzhou Mountain is enough. There is no need to continue fighting with the demon race for territory," Houtu said.

Buzhou Mountain is not just a mountain; its area is so vast that it can be described as boundless. It was also the sacred site of the goddess Nuwa, and many ancient powerful beings lived there.

The Ancestral Witches clan only occupied a small area on Mount Buzhou.

"Houtu, you don't understand. I have already been tolerant enough of the demon race, but Dijun wants to become the ruler of this world and gradually control this land. Even if we stay in Buzhou Mountain, the demon race will eventually invade this place."

"Moreover, this land was created by the Father God, how could it possibly be given to Di Jun?" Di Jiang said.

"That's right, that brat Di Jun is too arrogant. He's relying on the Chaos Bell to protect him, otherwise I would have destroyed him long ago." The Ancestral Witch Zhu Rong was furious, his head blazing with anger.

The Chaos Bell is a supreme innate spiritual treasure. It is the personal spiritual treasure of Emperor Jun's brother, Donghuang Taiyi. With the Chaos Bell's defensive power, it is enough to prevent anyone below the level of a saint from breaking through its defenses. Even the physical body of an Ancestral Witch cannot be damaged.

"Recently, the demon race has been capturing humans on a large scale, using their blood and souls to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, all in an attempt to target the Ancestral Witches. If this magical artifact succeeds, it will be detrimental to us!" said the Time Ancestral Witch, Zhu Jiuyin.

"Houtu, now that you've returned, don't leave again. Let's, the twelve Ancestral Witches, practice the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation together. Once this formation is successfully mastered, we can recreate the power of our Father God."

"Even if Di Jun is protected by the Chaos Bell, we can still kill him," Di Jiang said.

The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is the Ancestral Witches' last and strongest trump card. With this trump card, one can even fight against a sage for a short time, because this formation can summon the physical body of Pangu!

"Brothers, you will perish. Even if the physical body of Father Pangu is truly restored, the battle will inevitably be fierce." Houtu said with a sorrowful expression.

"Sister Houtu, the Ancestral Witch would rather die standing than be suppressed by that Dijun. Our Father God stands tall and upright, his spine never bent. As his descendants, we will never allow that scraggly bird to ride on our heads!" Zhurong shouted, wishing he could rush out immediately to fight the demon race.

"Sister Houtu, do you know something?"

The Time Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, who possesses the power to see into the future, noticed that Houtu was acting strangely today, but a mysterious force was hindering him, so he could only guess.

Chapter 397 Sacrificial Cultivation, Ye Qingxian's Departure

Cemetery of Gods and Demons.

"Am I not dead? But why can't I feel my body?"

His consciousness left the Great Dao chat group, and Chen Nan felt like he was dead again, or rather, half-dead. Because he could only feel his own consciousness, not his limbs, not anything at all, only a pitch-black void.

"Where is this place?"

Chen Nan's memories are stuck ten thousand years ago, but he doesn't know that the outside world has undergone tremendous changes and the world has changed drastically.

Ten thousand years ago, it seemed as clear to him as yesterday.

Ten thousand years ago, he was the number one among his peers, cultivating the Chen family's Demon Summoning Scripture. His cultivation technique was profound, and at a young age, his strength was almost on par with the older generation. He was incredibly successful. His father was also the head of the Chen family, and his talent was extraordinary.

Unfortunately, Chen Nan was ambushed by Tantai Xuan, who sealed his power. No matter how much he cultivated, his power continued to decrease.

"Tantai Xuan!"

Chen Nan thought of this woman, a peerless and extraordinary woman who possessed the wisdom of heaven and earth, and whose talent was no less than his own. Why would she do this?

For Chen Nan, Tantai Xuan was also his first love.

Yesterday's events flashed before my eyes: my father mysteriously disappeared without a trace; as the young master of the Chen family, I fought a duel with the Chen family's sworn enemy and ultimately died in battle.

Looking back now, Chen Nan felt that everything about his life was full of mysteries, as if an invisible hand was pushing him forward.

In the darkness and nothingness, Chen Nan didn't know how long he had been asleep. With the Great Dao Chat Group around, this desolate time wasn't so boring and torturous.

Until this day, in the darkness, a sliver of light appeared, and Chen Nan vaguely sensed the existence of his body; he was reviving.

……

The Heaven-Covering Dimension.

In the desolate and forbidden zone, Xu Yi cultivated. Now that he had become an Immortal Emperor, his cultivation was steadily improving. However, at this level, simply increasing his strength was not very meaningful. If he wanted to advance further, he had to reduce and seek emptiness, sacrificing the supreme Dao and everything he had in order to become a Sacrifice Dao Realm cultivator.

His cultivation level was sufficient to suppress a Daoist priest, but he was not a true Daoist priest after all.

Once you reach this level, you no longer need the supply from the external world, so it doesn't matter which world you stay in.

Because of him, the world of Shrouding the Heavens began to rapidly evolve into what it was originally the Immortal Realm.

With the existence of a Celestial Emperor, the world in which the Celestial Emperor resides naturally grows rapidly.

Because of Xu Yi, the Heavenly Heart Mark born in this world is also undergoing a transformation, gaining a profound consciousness, similar to the Heavenly Dao, but also different.

The Heavenly Dao controls the fate of all living beings, past and future, but this Heavenly Heart Mark has been transformed because of Xu Yi. Everything about it is under Xu Yi's control, and the Heavenly Heart Mark understands this, so it naturally respects Xu Yi.

"Offering sacrifices to the Way!"

Xu Yi comprehended the realm of sacrificial rites. Although he knew the cultivation method for this realm, he dared not easily step into it.

Sacrifice everything, transcend all paths.

If successful, one will naturally prove great power. But if one fails, one will also be reduced to nothingness for eternity due to the karma of the sacrifice.

This level of attainment cannot be achieved overnight; it requires the accumulation of time.

Xu Yi finished his cultivation and sensed that Ruthless Sister was still in seclusion. During this time, Ruthless Sister had been consolidating her Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. The forced advancement using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art system had left some side effects.

Both Emperor Venerable and Wu Shi were attempting to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm in the Supreme Hall.

As for the other supreme beings, they are also searching for their own path.

Ye Fan is walking the path of immortality in the mortal world, experiencing a grand dream that lasts for eternity.

On this day, Ye Qingxian found Xu Yi and said directly, "Master Xu, after staying in your timeline for so many years, I think it's time for me to return to my own world."

Ye Qingxian arrived in the past of her own world on the spot, but unfortunately she arrived too early, before the Desolate Emperor was born. Later, she joined the Great Dao Chat Group and came to Ye Fan's place.

Now that he has reached the quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, if he were to return to his own time and space, he would be a great help, able to fight alongside his grandfather.

“Qingxian, you already know the future. The situation there isn’t much better than mine. Although you’re already a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, there are too many powerful figures from the strange race on the plateau. Even if you go back now, you may not be able to turn the tide,” Xu Yi said.

Ye Qingxian laughed freely, "Master Xu, how could I not understand? It's just that every world has its own problems to face, and I can't stay here forever. Besides, I've used up so many of your points over the years. Sigh. This kindness is truly hard to repay!"

“I didn’t expect you to repay me. By the way, did you reveal your identity to Ye Fan here?” Xu Yi asked.

Ye Qingxian shook her head and sighed, "With my grandfather's intelligence, even if I didn't say it, he would probably have guessed it long ago, after all, we are related by blood."

"That's true. Ye Fan is a shrewd guy. He probably guessed it a long time ago, but just didn't say it out loud," Xu Yi said with a smile.

Xu Yi talked with Ye Qingxian for a long time, and even left Ye Qingxian with many Immortal Emperor-level techniques. In the end, Ye Qingxian left this space-time with reluctance.

Xu Yi left the desolate ancient forbidden zone and traveled into the universe. With his cultivation level, a single thought was enough to cover the entire universe, and nothing in the universe was a secret to him.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.

The universe underwent tremendous changes over this thousand years, giving rise to many great emperors.

One of them even attained enlightenment as a Holy Spirit, and was also a rare Immortal Tear Green Gold. Once he attained enlightenment, his combat power was among the top in the Great Emperor realm.

However, the world is not what it used to be, and emperors are not as rare as they used to be.

Immortal Tears Green Gold was absorbed into the Supreme Palace immediately after achieving enlightenment.

Many emperors, seeking the path to immortality, joined the virtual universe to study the methods left behind by Xu Yi.

Another thousand years have passed, and Little Squirrel, who followed An Miaoyi to Earth, has also attained enlightenment and become the new Demon Emperor.

The three valley masters of the Ten Thousand Demon Valley on Earth—the Old Ape, the Old Crane, and the Three-Colored Cat—have all cultivated to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, just one step away from becoming an Emperor.

The universe is filled with powerful beings, creating a golden age unlike any other. The universe will not enter a period of decline due to the Supreme War, nor will it suffer from the depletion of spiritual energy due to the birth of the Great Emperor who absorbs the universe's evolution.

This is a great era in which multiple emperors and even true immortals coexist!

With more powerful beings, conflicts are inevitable, but this is a natural process in the evolution of the entire universe, and Xu Yi did not intervene.

Only those who survive blood and fire can become true warriors!

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed.

The universe was unusually calm, and Xu Yi didn't even sense the strange race anymore, which was obviously abnormal, like a storm brewing.

At the edge of the universe, Xu Yi sat atop the river of time, overlooking the past and present. His gaze pierced through the years, and he exuded a mysterious and profound aura.

Chapter 398 Returning to Earth, Wang Lin's Mission

"Is this the true realm of immortals in the mortal world?!"

After the Great Dream Reincarnation ended, Ye Fan finally achieved perfection after experiencing hundreds of reincarnations. Furthermore, through the study of longevity substances, he comprehended the essence of immortality and finally grasped the meaning of remaining untouched by the passage of time.

In fact, the world has already begun to produce many substances that can prolong life!

However, in order to become a mortal immortal, Ye Fan directly severed his connection with the life-giving substances of the outside world, using himself to evolve life-giving substances, the five secret realms as furnaces, and the Ancient Sacred Body as the foundation to nurture life-giving substances.

Now, we've finally succeeded!
