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

However, one's cultivation level cannot be broken through at will; one must progress step by step through different realms.

Xu Yi left the desolate forbidden land and went to the Miaoyu Nunnery in the Northern Region to see An Miaoyi.

Since they went into seclusion in the desolate forbidden land, the two have not seen each other often.

An Miaoyi is now the Holy Master of Miaoyu Nunnery, and under her leadership, Miaoyu Nunnery is no longer the place that used to invest in powerful Taoist traditions and use beauty to please people. The female cultivators within the nunnery now focus on self-improvement.

Upon seeing Xu Yi, An Miaoyi's eyes flashed with a complex mix of emotions, including excitement and surprise.

Although Xu Yi treated her very well, as the gap between them continued to widen, An Miaoyi's sense of loss also grew.

She was very disappointed, and she could no longer even see Xu Yi's back. She cultivated desperately, but she was still far from becoming an emperor.

An Miaoyi's realm is the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor. This realm is enough to leave 99% of the geniuses in the Big Dipper and even the entire universe behind, because in the original orbit, at this time and age, there were no Quasi-Emperors in the younger generation.

Thanks to the Great Dao Chat Group and Xu Yi's help, An Miaoyi cultivated to the level of Quasi-Emperor.

Reaching this level, she realized that without the Great Dao Chat Group, without Xu Yi, and without various opportunities, her chances of breaking through to the Saint level would be slim. This world is not lacking in geniuses; there are too many geniuses, like crucian carp crossing a river, but very few can truly stand out.

"Young master, what brings you here?"

An Miaoyi suppressed her complicated emotions and poured Xu Yi a cup of fragrant spiritual tea. She even changed into a pure white silk dress, making her look elegant and refined, pure yet charming.

"Miaoyi, you've changed quite a bit in this time. How's your cultivation going?" Xu Yi asked, taking a sip of spiritual tea.

An Miaoyi's eyes dimmed. "Although I am now at the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, each step at this realm is more difficult than the last. Without external help, it would probably take thousands of years to cultivate to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor! My talent..."

Chapter 351 A New Path, Liu Shen's Choice

Northern Territory.

Xu Yi stayed at Miaoyu Nunnery for a while, spending all his time with An Miaoyi.

Although his cultivation had been going very smoothly, Xu Yi still felt somewhat anxious at the thought that the strange race, a formidable enemy, could come at any time.

An Miaoyi was perceptive and noticed Xu Yi's worries.

So he played the zither to comfort Xu Yi with music, allowing Xu Yi's mind and brain to relax.

This has nothing to do with realm or strength. Under An Miaoyi's superb piano playing, Xu Yi's state of mind became more stable, and his anxiety in the face of an unknown enemy was greatly reduced.

"Miaoyi, thank you."

Xu Yi looked at An Miaoyi, who was playing the zither with a gentle expression, and his eyes softened.

“Young master, it is my great fortune to be able to help you!” the humble judge said softly.

Xu Yi was taken aback. The path of the gods is lonely, and the path to the Great Dao is even more desolate. In the long years, having a confidante is indeed very good.

Afterwards, Xu Yi preached to An Miaoyi, helping her to improve her cultivation and allowing her realm to rise rapidly. She climbed directly to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, achieving enlightenment in an unconventional way, and finally entered the realm of the Supreme Being.

This is not a forced improvement, but rather sharing one's own path with An Miaoyi, allowing her to follow her own path and system.

In terms of cultivation realm, whether it's the Human Realm, the Immortal King Realm, or the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, the most basic condition for becoming a strong person in these realms is to follow your own path. Otherwise, it's very difficult to become a strong person and very difficult to break through.

However, there are exceptions. The great beings who open up new paths can allow others to follow their path. As long as they wholeheartedly cultivate their own path system, they can also break through to the Immortal King and Quasi-Immortal Emperor levels.

However, it can never surpass the creator of the path of creation, and its online access is locked.

This is why the Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Boundary Sea switched to cultivating the Immortal Emperor Scriptures of the Corpse Immortal Emperor. Their upper limit was only Quasi-Immortal Emperor, while cultivating the Immortal Emperor Scriptures gave them a chance to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, what they didn't know was that there was only one transcendent being on each path; at most, they could only approach the level of the Immortal Emperor but could not transcend.

Similarly, why do the strange race not only have Immortal Kings and Quasi-Immortal Emperors, but also many of their powerful members choose to become branches of a Dao Ancestor, cultivating the Dark Dao Ancestor's system and becoming vassals? In this way, even without their own path, they can still rise to the Immortal King realm or even higher!

An Miaoyi is in a similar situation now. She also wants to find her own path, but she doesn't have the time and it's difficult for her to succeed.

An Miaoyi has come to realize that among the many brilliant stars in this world, some are destined to shine brightly, while others will disappear without a trace.

She wasn't the main character; although she had high aspirations, it was all in vain if she didn't make it to the end.

Why not transform into the wind and accompany Xu Yi, to see where the wind that belongs to Xu Yi can blow and how far it can go?

Although she cultivated the path opened by Xu Yi, because Xu Yi's system was extremely powerful, An Miaoyi's strength was far greater than her original self. Even though it was not her own path, in this realm, because of Xu Yi, she was stronger than many cultivators of the same realm.

For example, having just advanced to the Supreme Realm, with the help of Xu Yi's powerful path, she is more than capable of suppressing Supremes or Great Emperors of the same realm!

Moreover, this path is already very mature, without any flaws or imperfections. An Miaoyi has also received the teachings from Xu Yi, and can cultivate to the realms of True Immortal, Immortal King, and Top Immortal King in a very short time!

If Xu Yi breaks through to the Immortal Emperor realm, then she will not have a bottleneck in breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

The path has already been paved by our predecessors, and we have received their authorization. It can be said that reaching a higher level is not too difficult.

“Young Master, since this method can quickly improve one’s cultivation level, why not let others follow your path? That way, our world can create a batch of Great Emperors or even True Immortals in a short period of time.” An Miaoyi asked, puzzled.

"Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die."

“Miaoyi, once we reach our level, who would be willing to give up their own path and start a new one?”

"Moreover, if too many people take the same path, the actual effect won't be that significant."

“Miaoyi, you were the first to try, which is why you were able to make such a big breakthrough in such a short period of time,” Xu Yi explained.

“I understand.” An Miaoyi nodded.

As the saying goes, there are too many monks and not enough porridge. She can enjoy Xu Yi's cultivation experience all by herself. If another one comes, then she will get half of the experience.

An Miaoyi wasn't being stingy; it's just that the struggle for the Great Dao is inherently cruel, and she still wanted to improve as much as possible.

Moreover, Jiang Taixu and Gai Jiuyou among the group members would not make the same choice.

Yan Ruyu's resolve is unwavering, so the chances are slim. Yao Xi, on the other hand, is very likely to do so!

However, given Yao Xi's personality, if she really can't break through in the future, she will very likely ask Xu Yi for help.

Moreover, Yao Xi's appearance was good, which gave her many opportunities in the Da Dao chat group.

She possessed several supreme imperial weapons, and compared to her, An Miaoyi felt that she was far weaker.

……

a perfect world.

Although the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths appeared peaceful, an invisible aura of killing intent permeated the air, as if some great chaos was about to erupt.

Especially those powerful beings at the level of Supreme Being and Immortal King felt a strange fear, as if some terrifying being had awakened and was about to destroy the world and make everything eternally nonexistent.

"Hey!"

With a sigh, Liu Shen sensed that this was the final ultimatum from the Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Boundary Sea.

If she doesn't go to the Boundary Sea, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor there might very well launch a world-destroying operation.

Moreover, she had already deduced her approximate location on the spot, and annihilating this realm was just a thought.

"Shi Hao, Yue Chan, Qing Yi, I'm leaving."

“If you don’t leave, this world will be destroyed, and your lives will be in danger.”

The Willow Goddess appeared, her brows furrowed with worry as if she had made an important decision.

"Willow Goddess, are you going to the Boundary Sea? It's too dangerous there," Yue Chan said.

“Yes, Goddess Liu, I’m not afraid. Let’s defeat them together,” Shi Hao said.

“The time hasn’t come yet. I’ll buy you some time,” Liu Shen replied.

“Goddess Liu, we can ask Young Master Xu Yi for help. He is also a quasi-Immortal Emperor. With him and you, we can protect ourselves when facing the quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Boundary Sea,” Yue Chan suggested.

Liu Shen shook her head. "Xu Yi is, after all, a person from the future. If he interferes with the cause and effect of the past, it is very likely to cause the entire space-time to collapse and the order to become chaotic."

Liu Shen knew that Xu Yi possessed the special ability of the Great Dream Eternal Era, which allowed him to appear in various eras.

But the Xu Yi at that time was not the real Xu Yi himself, but merely a reincarnation.

Inviting Xu Yi from the future directly to the past, especially to fight a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, would cause too much karma; it might even wipe out all eternity.

The unpredictable nature of time is such that even the Celestial Emperor could not bear the consequences.

Once the backlash occurs, it will be an endless abyss.

……

Chapter 352 If you don’t worship the emperor when you meet him, your true life will be lost!

Boundary sea.

Countless eras have passed, countless ages have shattered, and countless universes have been destroyed. They lay dormant together, enduring countless hours in the long river of time, finally coalescing into a vast ocean of boundaries, burying the truth of past eras.

When Liu Shen arrived at the Boundary Sea, she stood on it and swept her divine sense across it, discovering dozens of Immortal Kings, including many powerful Immortal Kings and Immortal Kings who possessed Imperial Light.

It should be noted that there are not many powerful beings at the Immortal King level in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, including the Immortal Realm and the Otherworld. However, there are an unbelievable number of Immortal Kings in the Boundary Sea. If they were to return to their original world, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would probably be thrown into chaos. At that time, the Otherworld would be nothing.

For countless eons, cultivators who have reached the Immortal King realm have generally chosen to come to the Boundary Sea in order to advance further, because they firmly believe that the other side of the Boundary Sea holds the secret to breaking through to the Immortal King realm, and that the path to becoming an Emperor is right there!

Unfortunately, many Celestial Kings underestimated the terror of the Boundary Sea.

The Boundary Sea is vast, boundless, larger than the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Immortal Realms combined. A single wave within it can cause the birth and destruction of countless great realms and the disappearance of countless universes.

The power of the Boundary Sea is even more terrifying. A storm that rises from the other side of the Boundary Sea can destroy even a Celestial King if one cannot escape in time. Most Celestial Kings get lost after entering the Boundary Sea, lose their bearings, and find it difficult to return.

To cross the Boundary Sea, one must possess the strength of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, Liu Shen stood above the Boundary Sea, emitting no particular aura, so no powerful being could sense her.

Although the difference between a Quasi-Immortal Emperor and an Immortal King is only one major realm, they are essentially no longer beings of the same dimension.

A single glance from a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is enough to annihilate a top-tier Immortal King.

"So this is the truth? It turns out that most of the powerful figures who disappeared in ancient times are here." Liu Shen sighed.

Back then, she wanted to cross the Boundary Sea to eradicate the source of darkness. However, now that she has actually arrived at the Boundary Sea, she understands how terrifying this place is. Even with her peak strength back then, if she had really tried to cross the Boundary Sea, she would probably have ended up like the ancient immortal kings here, lost and confused.

Suddenly, Liu Shen's divine sense spotted a familiar face on a boundary sea island amidst a raging storm. There stood a burly man dressed in animal skins, wielding a bow and arrow. This man possessed an immense aura, already unparalleled among the Immortal Kings, and his body radiated imperial light, indicating he was close to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

This realm can be seen as the Emperor Light Immortal King, a mark that only appears after failing to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

However, it cannot be said that it was a complete failure. It can only be said that the foundation was still lacking. If the foundation were sufficient, it would still be possible to challenge the Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

A Quasi-Immortal Emperor needs to establish a system and forge his own path that is sustainable and viable.

It's not that you can become a quasi-Immortal Emperor or Dao Ancestor just by walking your own path, but that the path must have the potential to reach its end.

"Butcher."

The burly man was a powerful figure from an ancient family in the Immortal Realm, and even one of the founders of the Immortal Realm, a top prodigy of the Emperor's Fall era.

She became a Celestial King even earlier than Liu Shen. Strictly speaking, they were not from the same era, but Liu Shen rose to power the fastest and reached the Celestial King level in a very short time!

They didn't have much interaction, but they did have some kind of relationship.

With that thought, the Willow Goddess descended directly to the island, while the Butcher, lost in the Boundary Sea, looked at the Willow Goddess with suspicion, "Are you the Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit?"

“It’s me, Butcher.” Willow God nodded slightly.

“You’ve reached that point.” The butcher clearly sensed that Liu Shen’s realm was special, no longer at the Immortal King level. The imperial light on his body was very dim in front of Liu Shen, flashy but insubstantial.

“Not bad,” Liu Shen replied.

"How do we get to that point?" the butcher asked impatiently.

Liu Shen shook her head. "Butcher, although I want to tell you, I can't do it. The path to becoming a king or an emperor is unique and cannot be replicated. You can only rely on yourself. You have already taken a step. If you firmly believe in your path and keep going, you may eventually succeed."

The butcher understood, but he was somewhat unwilling. He had been stagnant in this realm for far too many years, more than a million years, and several eras had passed.

"Then why have you come here?" the butcher asked.

“There are four Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the same realm as me over in the Boundary Sea. They have already sensed me. If I hadn’t come here, I’m afraid the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths would have been wiped out by them,” Liu Shen explained.

"Why are they doing this?" the butcher asked, puzzled.

"Because they are the source of the alien world, and they created the entire alien world, including the burial ground."

The battles between the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Otherworld and Immortal Realms are also orchestrated by them behind the scenes; they require the life essence of countless beings.

Therefore, we are destined to be irreconcilable enemies,” Liu Shen explained.

The butcher's face was grave. "If that's true, your journey is likely fraught with peril. In the era of the fallen emperors, one emperor perished. Could it be because of this?"

"More or less," Liu Shen nodded.

The butcher thought for a moment, then hardened his heart. "I'm also close to becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, an Ancestral Sacrifice Spirit. Take me with you; having a helper will help share some of the pressure."

"No need. Once you reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, there's no point in having any more Immortal Kings."
