Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Jiang Hao agreed: "Yes, it's very important to cultivate and find your own path. Of course, comprehension and opportunity are always very important."

Comprehension and opportunity are extremely important, regardless of past or present lives, and regardless of whether one cultivates or not.

The path to immortality is long and arduous; cultivation is never about defying the heavens simply through hard work and diligence.

All living beings in the world are born with different starting points determined by their inherent qualities and background.

Ordinary people are limited by their natural talents, while geniuses are confined by their limitations. Countless people spend their time sitting in meditation, exhausting half their lives, only to waste their entire lives in despair.

Only by chance can one break free from the impasse, a unique opportunity left by heaven and earth for all living beings.

It can cleanse the mortal body and forge the foundation of the Dao, enabling the mediocre to be transformed and rise to the level of the chosen ones.

Without the right opportunity, the path to immortality is a stagnant pool, filled only with endless wasting time and confinement.

It is precisely because of the various unexpected opportunities in the world that many stories of geniuses breaking through the shackles of talent and transcending social classes emerge.

For any legendary figure, opportunities play a crucial role in their life. For example, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor would not have become so legendary without all sorts of extraordinary opportunities.

Everyone is the same.

The four continued drinking tea and discussing philosophy, paying no further attention.

The first generation was born, and geniuses were everywhere, but in the eyes of Jiang Hao and his friends, they were nothing more than a scene in the golden age.

Various holy sites, ancient religions, and aristocratic families have sent their disciples to travel the world.

For a time, geniuses were as numerous as clouds, and stars shone brightly.

This is truly a golden age.

The number of prodigies is greater than in any previous era of the Origin Realm, and more prosperous than in any era recorded in the Immortal Domain.

Countless older cultivators sighed in admiration.

"I've lived my whole life and never seen so many geniuses clustered together."

"In this era, an unparalleled emperor is destined to emerge. If anyone can prove their Dao and become an emperor in this era and win the first place, then their achievement will be extremely prestigious."

"Yes, I'm getting more and more excited."

The prelude to the battle for supremacy among the elite has quietly begun.

The younger generation of cultivators poured out from all directions.

Some people carry ancient swords and walk on clouds.

Someone rode a strange beast, traversing the vast sky.

Some people walk alone through mountains and rivers, tempering themselves.

Some people attain enlightenment in the bustling city and discuss the law with peddlers and laborers.

Every day, new names come into people's view.

Every day, familiar faces fade away.

On a primordial ancient star, a young man emerged from the ruins, his hands stained with blood, and three ferocious beasts of the same level lying behind him.

On the ancient star Kunlun, a young girl suddenly appeared, wielding a bamboo staff, and defeated seven renowned geniuses in succession.

On the ancient star of the Big Dipper, a bald-headed youth fought his way through an ancient secret realm with his bare hands.

In the North Sea, a frail scholar played a tune on his zither, causing monsters within a thousand miles to bow down in submission. The music transformed into sounds of slaughter, and the world changed color.

Some people become famous overnight and are known throughout the world.

Some people cultivate diligently for years, and upon emerging from seclusion, they sweep aside their peers.

Some people operate discreetly, seeking out strong opponents to challenge, winning dozens of matches in a row without leaving their names.

Some of those who lost were disheartened and retreated to the mountains.

Some refused to succumb to despair, endured hardship and bided their time, and made a comeback several years later.

The victors, before they can even celebrate, must face the next challenger.

This is the golden age.

If you don't advance, you retreat.

Slow progress is tantamount to regression; that's just how reality is. Competition is that terrifying. This is the golden age.

Every day, geniuses fade away, but every day, new geniuses rise.

Rankings on the leaderboard change rapidly.

One moment they are the pride of the nation, the next they may be defeated by an unknown nobody.

People watched with excitement and trepidation.

"This is too intense! It's more than ten times more brutal than what we experienced back then!"

"One mistake can lead to total defeat."

"These young people are all ruthless."

The older generation of cultivators stood on high ground, watching the battle below, filled with emotion.

The younger generation, on the other hand, grew up amidst blood and fire.

No one dared to stop, because stopping meant being eliminated.

The entire Three Realms were engulfed in a frenzy of competition among the most talented individuals.

Every day there are battles, every day there are legends.

During this process, something predictable happened: the powerful figures and geniuses of the Immortal Realm were all stunned after witnessing the wonders of the Great Luo Heaven.

"What...what kind of magical place is this?"

A supreme being from the Immortal Realm gasped in shock, his eyes widening in disbelief.

They were amazed by the way Da Luo Tian cultivated talent; it was so effective and impactful.

"This is an optimized and improved version of the Void God Realm from the Chaotic Ancient Era!"

A true immortal from the Immortal Realm clapped his hands and sighed, his eyes filled with shock.

"Here, the physical body, the Daoist methods, and the mind can all be honed and tempered—a comprehensive refinement!"

"You can start over if you die, you can fight again if you're defeated; every step you take is a walk on the edge of life and death!"

"Yes, now we can finally understand why there are so many talented people in the Origin Realm, and why their combat strength is so strong!"

"Besides the terrifying, high-pressure competition of one emperor per generation, there's also this useful cultivation holy land. How could their combat strength not be strong?"

A prodigy from the Immortal Realm clenched his fist, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Everyone echoed their sentiments, growing increasingly alarmed as they spoke.

"This idea is simply genius among geniuses!"

"This is absolutely a holy land for nurturing geniuses!"

"If our Immortal Realm had had a place like this earlier, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

Exclamations of amazement rose and fell, lasting for a long time. At this moment, they began to feel fortunate that they could also use this sacred cultivation ground and enjoy this supreme benefit.

As a result, all the beings in the Immortal Realm joined the Great Luo Heaven training team.

A genius has struck again.

In this era of shining stars, three people stand out the most.

The first one is named Zhang Bairen.

No one knows where he came from, nor does anyone know his lineage.

He was like a genius who appeared out of nowhere.

Zhang Bairen had a plain face and delicate features, but he wasn't particularly handsome.

His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, occasionally flashing with a glint of light that sent chills down one's spine.

Zhang Bairen did not reveal any special physical constitution of his, nor did he ever use any earth-shattering secret techniques.

But his combat strength is ridiculously high.

He sparred with a powerful Supreme Son, but was defeated in three moves.

After the battle, the Supreme Son's face turned pale, and he remained silent for a long time. Finally, he only said one sentence.

"Unfathomable, completely unfathomable."

Some speculate that Zhang Bairen is the reincarnation of a celestial king, while others believe he is an extraordinary genius born of heaven and earth.

But there is no evidence.

Zhang Bairen never explained or denied anything; he simply grew stronger in silence, waiting for something.

The second one is called "Burial of the Gods".

As his name suggests, this man, standing there, gives one the feeling of annihilating all the gods.

He was tall and slender, with a cold and stern face and jet-black hair.

His eyes were as deep as an abyss, and occasionally, when they opened and closed, a chaotic current seemed to flow through them.

No one knows his origins.

Some say he came from a forbidden area, an invincible forbidden zone prodigy cultivated by the supreme beings of the forbidden zones.

But no one can confirm that he just suddenly appeared, then rose rapidly, swept through the ranks, and became invincible among those of the same level.

Moreover, the fighting style of the God of Burial is also very strange and unpredictable.

With a wave of his hand, the void solidified; with a sweep of his gaze, the laws shattered.

He once faced an attack from a group of peerless geniuses alone in a secret realm.

As a result, the secret realm collapsed, and all the geniuses were defeated.

The burial god, however, left unstained by blood and with composure.

In that battle, the God of Burial did not utter a single word; it was a relentless fight.

He simply stood atop the ruins of the secret realm and glanced back one last time.
