Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

It was too late for him to be happy.

"Ye Fan, Yao Guang, Wang Teng, Xiang Yufei, Qi Lin, Jiang Yifei... you guys come and listen too." Qin Tian called out each name, which was undoubtedly an affirmation, an honor, and a recognition of potential.

Qin Tian believed that all the chosen individuals possessed the potential to rival the ancient princes.

He is an unparalleled genius!

The person whose name was called stepped out from the crowd, walking with an imposing gait and an air of supreme authority, and sat side by side with the ancient prince.

The two groups exchanged a glance, their spirits clashing in an instant. Although they did not directly confront each other, for beings like them, a single glance was enough to judge the strength of their opponents.

The result was undoubtedly a draw between the two sides.

Huang Xudao spoke, acknowledging their power: "Indeed, you are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with us."

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, status is not determined by rights, but by power—unreserved, naked power!

Next, everyone sat around Qin Tian. Huo Linzi frowned and asked first, "We've never heard of your so-called forbidden path!"

Qin Tian's tone was calm, yet carried a hint of pride: "Because this is a path that even the great emperors of ancient times rarely succeeded in traversing."

"Are you saying my father is inferior to you?!" Huang Xudao suddenly spoke up: "He's inferior to you?!"

Upon hearing this, not a single ancient prince could remain silent. In their hearts, they regarded their father as the greatest of all time, and how could they stand by and watch their father be insulted?

One by one, the ancient princes were filled with rage, and the blood representing the children of the ultimate path emitted a sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing down, as if an ancient emperor had personally descended. Every cultivator present was shocked, their faces turned pale, and they could hardly withstand this power.

Only the Divine Silkworm Daoist remained lazy and indifferent, as if Qin Tian's words had nothing to do with him.

Qin Tian said solemnly, "There are differences in level and strength among cultivators, and the same is true among Great Emperors."

Qin Tian put down his wine cup, and his invisible holy power easily suppressed the group of ancient princes: "Whether you submit or not, he is there."

"Since the mythological era, the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation has organized the five great secret realms and created the path to enlightenment. Since then, nearly a thousand supreme beings have been born, and only one supreme being with one hand can step into this realm."

“And your fathers were not from this group,” Qin Tian said calmly.

"So don't be discouraged, this is a normal phenomenon."

Qin Tian's words only made things worse. The ancient princes instantly erupted, rising to their feet, their anger soaring, their divine power surging. Their imperial blood, inherited from the ancient emperors, was boiling and roaring, and beams of divine light shot straight into the sky, scattering the clouds and illuminating the world.

But Qin Tian didn't care at all. Disciplining the ancient prince was the same as disciplining the ancient clan. He needed to knock down their pride and then mold them into his image little by little.

This also helps them cultivate, after all, the true ancient emperors only have one strongest in their hearts, and that is themselves. No one, whether their fathers or others, is as good as themselves!

Therefore, faced with the anger of the ancient princes, Qin Tian simply said, "So... do you still want to listen?"

"Tell me, if you can't give me a coherent explanation..." Princess Wanlong's eyes were as cold as iron.

"This princess will one day avenge the humiliation I have suffered today."

"Oh dear, I'm so scared!" Qin Tian sighed, resting his chin on his hand. "These days, you get threatened even for telling the truth."

"Oh well, what can I do? I'm just too kind-hearted."

Qin Tian said solemnly, "Let me explain the forbidden domain to you."

"Let me make it clear beforehand that my explanation of this path is not entirely accurate," Qin Tian said solemnly. "After all, in essence, I only have a superficial understanding of the forbidden domain."

"This thing is like the Great Dao, mysterious and profound. Everyone has their own forbidden path. It can only be used as a reference, not as a standard."

Everyone present nodded, indicating that they understood.

"You should all be familiar with what is meant by taboos," Qin Tian said, without any unusual phenomena, simply explaining the true meaning and expounding on the concept: "When the ancient emperors created their laws, they would generally create one or two forbidden techniques at the end. These were the culmination of their lives and an exploration beyond divine restrictions!"

Using the Emperor's Scripture as an example, Qin Tian explained, "Therefore, this forbidden realm was actually explored by all the great emperors of ancient times."

"The reason it wasn't passed down might be because your ancestors believed that you wouldn't be able to reach this realm in the early stages of cultivation," Qin Tian paused for a moment before continuing, "After all, it's a realm that ancient emperors could only reach when they unleashed forbidden techniques."

Huo Lin'er asked curiously, "So the forbidden realm isn't so magical after all. My father can set foot in it too!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Qin Tian had discovered some extraordinary field.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Qin Tian shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. For the Great Emperor, the taboo is like the divine taboo for you. Even if you ascend to that eternal taboo, it will only be a moment, and you will soon fall."

"The same applies to the Forbidden Domain. They can only step into it when casting Forbidden Techniques, but they will fall out in an instant and cannot stay there permanently."

"But for someone like me, every gesture can unleash forbidden divine power," Qin Tian said solemnly.

"By standing in the forbidden realm of the gods, I can remain permanently within the forbidden zone."

Qin Tian's expression was solemn as he said, word by word, "The so-called forbidden ones are those who surpass the ancient emperors in the realm of divine restrictions."

The forbidden path is both the path of transcendence and the path of defying the heavens.

"Innate talent has its limits. No matter who you are or what kind of extraordinary talent you have, you cannot surpass the highest realm allowed by the universe, without exception."

For example, the Azure Emperor, as the reincarnation of a Celestial King, possesses innate qualities that are hundreds of times stronger than those of innate sacred bodies, Dao embryos, or chaotic bodies.

However, the final result was almost identical to the other two, simply because the universe limited the limits of talent, and even the elixir of immortality could not break this rule.

Within this universe, no one can surpass him!

It's not just about physical constitution; the same applies to other aspects. Once someone surpasses this limit, they will be cut down by the mysterious Heavenly Blade.

Just like the Undying Emperor, as a True Phoenix of the Mortal Realm, once it "goes mad," it is enough to rival the Immortal King. Such an existence is enough to destroy a great world and far surpasses many immortal figures.

Yet so many immortal emperors were killed by Ye Fan, their Dao fruits transformed into a mark within the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron, simply because a portion of his talent was severed by the will of Heaven from the moment he descended upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Ten Fiends' "madness" talent was completely wiped out.

Qin Tian explained in detail: "In terms of physique, the Chaotic Physique and the Innate Sacred Physique are the highest. Their various talent values ​​have reached the limits that the universe can allow, far surpassing the physiques of the Imperial Son and the Sacred Physique."

"I thought our physique was already the best in the world, but I didn't expect that we were only ranked in the second tier!" Huo Lin'er was somewhat surprised.

"The forbidden path is to surpass this highest point, to surpass the highest point that the universe can allow, and to reach an unprecedented level."

Among the forbidden beings that Qin Tian knew, both he and the Azure Emperor had surpassed the limits that the universe could allow in some aspect.

Qin Tian's unification of the three elements surpasses the maximum value allowed by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Perhaps some people can rival him in physical strength and divine power, but absolutely no one can be on par with him in the unification of the three elements. This is his forbidden path.

Only with such a foundation can one step into the divine forbidden zone at any time and place.

"By confronting the universe with one's own body, one can ultimately surpass it!"

The forbidden path is similar to the immortal path in the mortal world; the underlying principles are essentially the same.

If the world forbids immortality, then I will live on and on until time can no longer erode my life force, and I will become an immortal in the mortal world.

The forbidden path, on the other hand, is where heaven and earth restrict my body, so I break through the universe and create my own path, which has the same charm. Therefore, those who walk the forbidden path are all seeds of immortality in the mortal world.

Because they begin to fight against nature and the rules in their childhood, their later transformation is relatively easy.

Qin Tian sighed, "From the age of mythology to the present, there have only been a handful of such figures."

"Why are you telling us this?" Huo Linzi asked.

He didn't believe that Qin Tian would tell them about the forbidden realm just because of Huo Lin'er's words.

To be precise, none of the ancient princes believed that Qin Tian would leak information beyond the level of an emperor's son because of mere beauty.

Qin Tian took a sip of his drink and said seriously, "Because I'm bored!"

"I don't want my journey to becoming an emperor to be too boring." Qin Tian sat there, looking down at all the imperial princes and geniuses like a supreme celestial being. He was confident and arrogant: "You all have enough talent. If you fight each other, perhaps a person who can ascend to the forbidden realm will be born."

"So that they can fight me, and make my life less boring."

"Heh, you really are quite arrogant!" Huang Xudao sneered, then changed his tone the next moment: "However, you do have the right to be so arrogant."

As an ancient prince, he had to admit that the human before him was indeed superior to him.

"Then, young man, who do you think has the best chance?" Huo Lin'er blinked her beautiful eyes, full of curiosity.

"Who do you think is qualified to fight you at the pinnacle and vie for the throne?"

Qin Tian looked around, and even the ancient princes found it difficult to remain calm. He was a pioneer, starting as an ordinary person, step by step crossing the eight forbidden numbers, ascending to the realm of divine prohibitions, and finally breaking into the forbidden realm.

He is undoubtedly the one who understands the Eight Forbidden Zones, Divine Forbidden Zones, and even the forbidden zones the most.

Therefore, his judgment must be extremely accurate.

Finally, Qin Tian fixed his gaze on Ye Fan.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Ye Fan's heart.

Qin Tian said with a slight smile, "I believe that Ye Fan, the Holy Body, is capable of becoming that person!"

"As expected!" Ye Fan's ominous premonition came true.

Huang Xudao frowned and said, "The Holy Body cannot prove the Dao. Even if he ascends to the forbidden realm, so what? He is no match for us."

"These are all the world's wild words. People even say... that the emperor's son cannot attain enlightenment!"

"But people still managed to attain enlightenment," Qin Tian said slowly and deliberately.

"Who?"

The princes exclaimed in surprise. As princes, they had already been told by their fathers what difficulties they would encounter on their path to enlightenment.

The imperial blood that grants them convenience will eventually become a shackle that binds them. Although they are confident that they can attain enlightenment, they will never underestimate the difficulty of attaining enlightenment.

They originally thought they would be the first to break the eternal curse and thus defy the heavens to become the Emperor's Son.

To achieve the legendary feat of two emperors from one family!

But little did they expect that someone had already taken the first step.

"Naturally, he is the son of the Western Emperor!" Qin Tian said slowly, looking at the Western Emperor Tower on the horizon.

"You must have heard of that Western Prince!"

Huo Lin'er asked curiously, "Who is it?!"

Qin Tian's expression was solemn as he declared in a loud voice, "He is the Great Emperor Wushi!"

It's one thing to grumble about the first Holy Maiden of Yaochi in private, but at crucial moments, one can't afford to embarrass Emperor Wushi.

This is Qin Tian's respect for the Great Emperor, and it is definitely not out of fear that an ancient bell bearing the words "Beginningless" will suddenly fly out from the river of time.

After all, that person was his second angel investor.

As for the first one, it is naturally his good teacher, the great Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable.

"The Great Emperor Wushi is the Prince of the West!"

Everyone gasped in surprise, contributing to the warming of Yaochi.

The Queen Mother of the West gave an affirmative answer: "That's right, the Great Emperor Wushi is indeed the son of the Western Emperor. He emerged from Yaochi, conquered the world, and finally attained enlightenment."

Only the Divine Silkworm Taoist remained lazy and seemed completely uninterested in information about the forbidden realm.

Suddenly, the Divine Silkworm Daoist spoke up: "My father told me about this level before."

The ancient princes were shocked, and they remained skeptical of Qin Tian's words.

He was ultimately just a sage.

Their father, however, was an unparalleled being standing at the pinnacle of the Dao.

The ancient emperor never mentioned any forbidden areas.

How much could a saint like him possibly know?

However, they believed the words of the Divine Silkworm Taoist without a doubt.

As a result, many of the ancient princes were dejected and felt deeply discouraged.

The words of the Divine Silkworm Taoist are enough to prove that everything Qin Tian said is true.

Because an ancient emperor had indeed touched upon the forbidden area that Qin Tian spoke of, and then told his descendants about it.

But it also means that their father's achievements in the yakuza world seem to be inferior to those of others.

"No wonder the Divine Silkworm Daoist never got angry from beginning to end; it turns out his father had already mentioned the existence of the forbidden level to him."

The Black Emperor's expression was strange, and he thought to himself:

My dad isn't among the people Qin Tian mentioned, so what's there to be angry about?

“But even someone like him couldn’t become an immortal and perished in the passage of time. What good would it do to step into this realm?” After saying this, the Divine Silkworm Daoist was even more dejected than the other ancient princes.

"How do you know the God Emperor is dead?" Qin Tian asked.

The Divine Silkworm Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, which were like two ancient divine lamps. The fiery imperial blood boiled in his veins, making a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

The fact that this man was a formidable foe sent chills down the spines of the other princes.

"My father is not dead!" The Divine Silkworm Daoist stood up excitedly, but then questioned, "Although you, like my father, have stepped into the forbidden realm..."
