A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

“In a way, what you said is correct.” Yunhua nodded.

Only those who become immortals are qualified to live forever. If one is merely a supreme being in the human realm, even with abundant longevity substances in the immortal realm, one cannot achieve immortality. One's lifespan is only a few million years, not even ten million years.

"But do you know that even if you go to the Immortal Realm, you cannot live forever? The mortal realm can now achieve immortality," Yunhua continued.

"Legend has it that in the ancient immortal era, even those at the second level of the Immortal Platform could become immortals. How could one not become an immortal in the Immortal Realm?" the Taiyin Emperor retorted.

Yunhua shook his head and said, "You know that's just a legend. There were indeed true immortals and even immortal kings in the Immortal Ancient Era, but even at your peak, you were only a supreme being of the human realm, not an immortal. If we use the terms of the Immortal Ancient Era and the Chaotic Ancient Era, the great emperors and ancient sovereigns of each generation were all at the pinnacle of the Dao, but not immortals."

"So that's how it is. We were all wrong?" The Taiyin Emperor sighed leisurely.

"As far as I know, our realm was extremely prosperous during the Immortal Ancient Era. However, it was decimated during the great war with another realm at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era." Yunhua decided to tell the two human emperors some secrets about the Immortal Ancient Era and the Chaotic Ancient Era.

"Is this why one cannot become an immortal?" The Taiyin Emperor's eyes narrowed, his expression turning grave.

“No, that’s only part of the reason.” Yunhua shook his head. “This world was crippled not because a loophole appeared somewhere in the world, but because the rules of heaven and earth in this world were incomplete. So, during the long period of chaotic ancient times that followed, the rules of heaven and earth were incomplete, and the foundation of all cultivators was flawed, so they could not become immortals.”

"A flawed foundation? Are we like that too?" The Sun Emperor was getting anxious, as this concerned their future path.

"The Chaotic Ancient Era had its flaws in the first half, but they were later filled in by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor. The Desolate Heavenly Emperor killed many True Immortals from the Immortal Realm who had crippled our world, and directly used the rules within their bodies to complete the Great Dao rules of this world. Therefore, our foundation is not a problem, the most obvious example being the Heavenly Heart Mark. If the rules of heaven and earth were flawed, it would be impossible for something like the Heavenly Heart Mark to appear," Yun Hua said.

"The reason why it is difficult for us to become immortals in this world is not the rules of heaven and earth, but the origin of heaven and earth." Yunhua continued, "Not long after the Desolate Heavenly Emperor completed the rules of heaven and earth, another great calamity occurred. The other world invaded again, and the Immortal Realm took advantage of the chaos to seize most of the origin of this world to strengthen the Immortal Realm."

"Immortal Realm..." In an instant, both the Sun Saint Emperor and the Moon Human Emperor had a bad feeling.

How could the Immortal Realm employ such dishonorable methods?

To directly seize most of the origin of a world is tantamount to severing the foundation of a world and the foundation for the cultivation of all cultivators in that world.

"Is the Immortal Realm so powerful because of this? Are there many other worlds similar to ours that are treated this way by the Immortal Realm?" The Sun Saint Emperor frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Yunhua nodded and said, "That's right, that's how the Immortal Realm is. It constantly plunders the origins of other great worlds, and even simply swallows them up. That's why the Immortal Realm is so powerful. At its peak, the Immortal Realm was at least hundreds of times larger than our world, and its origins were thousands of times greater than ours."

The Immortal Realm at its peak was terrifyingly powerful, but the current Immortal Realm has long since fallen apart. However, even a one percent fragment is far larger than the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

"But don't worry, our universe is now complete and can trigger the tribulation to become an immortal, but I don't recommend the path to true immortality."

"Then how can one become an immortal?" Both of them became anxious upon hearing that the path to true immortality was not recommended.

“Actually, you’ve all gone down the wrong path. Becoming an immortal isn’t about entering the immortal realm, but about living life after life. There will come a time when you’ll find that time can no longer erode you. At that time, you will be immortals,” Yunhua replied. “This is an alternative path to immortality, one that doesn’t involve the tribulations of becoming an immortal, but rather living as an immortal in the mortal world.”

"However, this path is difficult, but also very challenging. There are enemies in my realm, and even ordinary Immortal Kings cannot help us."

"A Celestial King?" The two Holy Emperors were surprised once again.

Yunhua implanted common knowledge known to all the emperors into the Holy Emperor's primordial spirit, letting them learn about it themselves.

"The two Holy Emperors should focus on accumulating experience in the Void God Realm; time is running out."

Yunhua's words left the Taiyin Emperor with no room for doubt, after all, she was a powerful figure capable of resurrecting the dead.

"I can give you another chance to be resurrected and start over. Are you willing?" Yunhua asked.

The Taiyin Emperor nodded slightly. In fact, from the previous conversation, he had roughly figured out what the person in front of him was thinking.

Moreover, the Taiyin Human Emperor naturally did not want to die; otherwise, why would he have ventured into the path to immortality?

Yunhua gathered the remnant souls of the Taiyin Human Emperor, which were collected from many geniuses, and then directly cast them into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

That terrifying soul power surged forth, and the remnant consciousness of the original Taiyin Emperor was rapidly recovering and moving towards perfection. In an instant, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth descended, and endless Taiyin Holy Power surged forth.

At the same time, Yunhua also consumed a large amount of longevity substances, simultaneously injecting endless vitality and medicinal effects into the soul of the Taiyin Human Emperor.

Then, the blood of the Taiyin Human Emperor, which remained in the heavens and the immortal path, was extracted directly. The laws of life restored its vitality, forming a primordial energy.

"So that's how I was resurrected." The Sun Emperor now had some understanding.

Before long, the Taiyin Emperor's soul was completely perfected, and life began to sprout again within his body, about to give birth to a true body.

The two Holy Emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, were resurrected simultaneously, and a terrifying wave instantly spread throughout the entire universe. The Holy Power of Taiyin and the Holy Power of Taiyang shook the starry sky like a tidal wave.

Everyone in the universe was terrified, but also deeply moved.

"The Heavenly Emperor is invincible; he can even resurrect the dead..." countless people sighed in their hearts.

Upon learning this news, Wushi and the emperors all came to the Divine Realm to meet the two resurrected human emperors.

Chapter 349 The Tribulation of Reincarnation

Yunhua, wielding the Heavenly Heart Mark, guided the remnant souls of emperors condensed by numerous geniuses who cultivated the Awakening Nerve. Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, the remnant soul marks of emperors flew out from countless ancient stars of life in the universe.

"I have witnessed ancient history once again! Thirty emperors and kings of all ages have returned today!" The Azure Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the starry sky, watching those great emperors and ancient kings, some familiar and some unfamiliar, all of whom had returned today.

"I wonder how much strength these Great Emperors and Ancient Sovereigns can contribute to the great war in the future!" The Emperor knew that hundreds of thousands of years later, perhaps some of these Great Emperors would become True Immortals or Mortal Immortals, but probably none of them would become Immortal Kings.

"Regardless, I have fulfilled my responsibility. When that sword light dissipates, the Lesser Sacrifice of the Heavens will arrive. I will hold off those two Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors. As for the other Immortal Kings, perhaps you can only rely on yourselves."

Yunhua reflected the cycle of reincarnation in the starry sky, transforming it into six enormous vortexes that contained the remnant souls of the ancient emperors. Through the reshaping of the laws of reincarnation and the laws of the soul, they slowly solidified into complete soul bodies.

"Immortal Kings! Thousands of Immortal Kings, what a desperate battle that must be." Although Wu Shi was a formidable warrior, he was only in his fifth incarnation. Even if he cut off his own lifespan to live in reverse, he would find it difficult to think of a way to deal with thousands of Immortal Kings.

"Many great realms in the Boundary Sea also have Immortal Kings. If a minor sacrifice occurs, the Immortal Kings of the Boundary Sea can unite and perhaps barely cope." The Divine Emperor now has a clue about the twelfth transformation. With Yun Hua's explanation, he is currently creating a suitable method for the twelfth transformation.

"I estimate that many of the Immortal Kings of the Realm Sea have sided with the darkness, and even in my Realm He Immortal Domain, there is a good chance that some cowards will emerge." Although Gu Cang, the Great Accomplished Holy Body, has not yet attained the Dao, he is about to attain the Dao Fruit of True Immortal. He does not believe that he can walk the path of immortality in the mortal world. Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor said that even if one is a True Immortal, with the accumulation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Void God Realm, it is very possible to become an Immortal King.

Time slowly passed, and at a certain moment, the Six Paths of Reincarnation behind Yunhua shook violently, emitting boundless light of reincarnation that filled the entire universe.

All living beings see only this light; nothing else matters.

As the light of reincarnation shines in all directions, streams of light are emitted from the six realms of reincarnation, scattering across the universe.

Containing within the flowing light are miracles, miracles of rebirth from death, and soon-to-be-great miracles: the souls of ancient emperors emerging from the cycle of reincarnation.

Yunhua smiled faintly as she watched the streaks of light fall upon the ancient stars.

The Upper Plateau also has things related to reincarnation, and these things actually exist.

Many things prove that even in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, reincarnation can be experienced by living beings.

However, it may involve some supreme beings and some secrets of heaven and earth, which is why the cycle of reincarnation in the entire heavens and earth has been suppressed.

However, Yunhua's actions this time were covered up by Shi Hao, whose combat power was vaguely comparable to the peak of the Immortal Emperor, so they did not touch any particularly high-ranking beings or any taboos.

This is one of the foundations for the plan's success.

Most importantly, Yunhua wasn't trying to establish a cycle of reincarnation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; he simply wanted to reunite the remnant souls of those emperors.

If it's called reincarnation, then it's also a kind of alternative resurrection.

This is completely different from truly establishing the cycle of reincarnation and opening the path of reincarnation.

This is another fundamental basis for the success of this plan.

After many emperors and sovereigns entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Yunhua carefully controlled this "Six Paths of Reincarnation," cleansing, piecing together and completing the cycle of reincarnation, and finally condensing a complete soul.

This is an extremely complex process, especially in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, it's truly unprecedented.

It involves more than just throwing in remnant souls, then gluing them back together and throwing them out.

That's the procedure, but in reality, it involves many steps.

It involves the great Dao, cause and effect, time, destiny, and many other aspects.

No matter how good the theory or how perfect the plan, some unexpected problems may arise during this cycle of reincarnation.

The moment the ancient emperors emerged from the cycle of reincarnation, the long river of time in the nine heavens and ten earths also erupted, with an unparalleled and eerie black tide surging and staining the ages!

Then, a violent bolt of lightning descended from the sky, so terrifying that the emperors felt as if their souls were about to be scattered after just one glance.

None of them could withstand a single bolt of lightning, including the ruthless Eighth Incarnation of the Mortal World Immortal.

What's rather strange is that although the thunder's power was overwhelming, it did not cause any damage to the universe.

This lightning bolt exists in a different dimension than reality. It targeted Yunhua and the Six Paths of Reincarnation behind him, but it had no intention of destroying heaven and earth.

"You're going to cause trouble if you resurrect too many people?" Yunhua understood that he had already crossed the line by resurrecting Taiyin and Taiyang, and now resurrecting all the emperors was the real calamity to befall him.

"The tribulation has begun." Wu Shi was also shocked; the tribulation had just begun when he finished speaking. Then, with a hint of relief, he said:

"Fortunately, it's just the tribulation of the Great Dao Divine Lightning. The Heavenly Emperor should be able to overcome it. If it were any more..."

Before Wushi could finish speaking, the boundless thunder contracted and became fixed within a certain area, no longer spreading wantonly.

Then, a misty fog appeared around Yunhua, so thick that it seemed as if one's soul and spirit would be absorbed into it at a glance.

Then a thick, yellow river quietly flowed out from the mist, encircling Yunhua. Vibrant, blood-red flowers bloomed on both sides of the river, bringing death.

A winding path slowly stretched from an unknown place to Yunhua's side, as if to guide him to his final destination.

This is amazing; some scenes from myths and legends have actually been brought to life.

The mist grew thicker, enveloping Yunhua and obscuring the Six Paths of Reincarnation behind her. The emperors could only vaguely see the shadow of Yunhua sitting cross-legged.

As for its specific appearance, it was impossible to see clearly.

Surprisingly, with the appearance of the Nether Mist, the Great Dao Divine Lightning above Yunhua's head seemed to have changed its nature, becoming gloomy and somber.

The emperors' expressions were solemn. They could understand the terrifying divine lightning of the Great Dao, but now it seemed that an unknown change had occurred.

Often, the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

"What exactly is this?" Wu Shi felt that just looking at the dark mist that shrouded the heavens and the earth made him feel that his life was slipping away and that his soul no longer belonged to him.

"Two major calamities, this..."

"Wu Shi, stop talking!" The Great Accomplished Holy Body interrupted Wu Shi, looking at him with a strange expression.

Both instances of calamity descending occurred either after or during the beginningless time of speaking.

"I underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to have such methods!" said the Great Accomplished Holy Body. At the same time, he secretly decided that once the Heavenly Emperor returned safely, he would go and complain about Wu Shi!

Wu Shi was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. How could this be my fault?

All the emperors squinted at Wushi, thinking, "If it wasn't your jinx, then who else could it be?"

Chapter 350 Embarking on the Cycle of Reincarnation

"Click! Click! Click!"

Then a sound rang out again, the sound of armor rubbing together, dense and continuous, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

The emperors' eyes shone with divine light, seeing through reality and illusion, yet they could not see the eerie, dark mist.

Only vaguely could be seen soldiers clad in armor and wielding long spears, as well as exceptionally tall and imposing generals, appearing and disappearing in the mist, coming from the winding path and standing before Yunhua, who was sitting cross-legged.

When the mist was occasionally dispersed by an unnamed wind, the emperors glimpsed a corner of what was happening inside.

The armor of these soldiers and generals was rotten, and their bodies were bleeding and festering like living organisms—red, green, blue, and white blood.

Beneath the armored body, stray hairs of various colors would occasionally peek out.

It looks alarming.

"What is this? Are they ghost soldiers and generals?" The emperors' expressions changed. They were increasingly unable to understand the scene, and everything that was happening was unknown.

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah!"

A sound arose between heaven and earth, like the sound of a horn, or like a funeral dirge, mournful, gloomy, and filled with the aura of death.

Whose funeral is this?

It could only be Yunhua, shrouded in mist!

As the funeral music played and the misty fog rolled in, the emperors discovered something terrifying.

The Heavenly Emperor seemed to be getting further and further away from them, as if they were being led to an unknown place by these ghostly soldiers and generals along with the funeral dirge!

"laugh!"

A sound of space being torn apart rang out, and when the emperors looked over, they saw that the ruthless person had disappeared from here and gone beyond the Nether Mist.

The two sides are indeed at different latitudes, and everything in Yunhua cannot affect the outside world.

As for the external influence on the inside...

The ruthless woman has already made her move, attempting to break through this dimensional barrier, because she has determined that Yunhua is getting further and further away from the present world.

The light of immortality emanated from the ruthless man's palm, and a huge treasure bottle appeared, attempting to absorb the Netherworld Mist. The emperors also arrived and attacked together, causing the universe to tremble as if it were about to collapse.

Unfortunately, all these amazing attacks were useless and missed, failing to reach the other dimension.

"How could this be?" The Great Accomplished Holy Body was both shocked and furious. What on earth was this?

He was unwilling, and so were the emperors. They continued to attack, with the Ruthless Eight-Life Mortal Immortal unleashing his full power, determined to break through this dimensional barrier.
