……
On every ancient star with a long history and rich past, there is an ancient star road that leads to all races across the universe vying for the throne.
Although there is no five-colored altar on Mount Ninety-Nine Dragons, which allows free movement throughout the starry universe.
However, Zhou Xuan, who had read through the Stone Emperor's endless memories, clearly understood how to forge the five-colored altar.
However, in order to stay with the little girl who is about to embark on the ancient starry road and compete for the supreme emperor position alongside the geniuses of all races, a thousand sails race and a hundred boats vie for the top spot, she will stay a little longer.
Zhou Xuan, who could have forged the five-colored altar in an instant, spent several days before finally completing it.
Time flies and flies by.
Several days later, the little girl, wearing a bronze mask that was half crying and half laughing, stepped alone onto the five-colored altar that Zhou Xuan had personally forged.
"Boom!!!"
Standing atop the five-colored altar, the little girl raised her hand, removed the bronze mask that held a mixture of laughter and tears, and waved in Zhou Xuan's direction.
In the next instant, five-colored light burst forth from the five-colored altar, and a massive amount of heaven and earth essence surged into the five-colored altar.
Immediately following, a five-colored altar bursting with dazzling light erupted, from which a yin-yang symbol-shaped interdimensional gate burst forth. The little girl waving to Zhou Xuan opened her mouth and called out to him:
"Brother, wait for me! I, Zhou Jingxian, will definitely overcome the Emperor Tribulation, prove my Dao and become an Emperor, and ascend to immortality!"
"tread!!"
The moment she finished speaking, the little girl stepped into the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Domain Gate, and her physical form was transferred to the Ancient Starry Road by the Five-Colored Altar.
Just as Zhou Xuan was gazing at the empty, colorless altar, remaining silent for a long time,
Cao Yisheng's voice echoed softly from behind Zhou Xuan:
"If you're reluctant, just say so!"
"Everyone has their own path. Even if they are siblings from the same mother and blood relatives, they should not interfere with each other."
Upon hearing Cao Yisheng's voice, Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly and said:
"Moreover, Nannan is working so hard to prove the immortal path and be with me forever."
"How could I possibly stop her?!"
"Prove the immortal path to immortality."
As soon as Zhou Xuan finished speaking, Cao Yisheng, who had been living a life of leisure at Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain for nearly ten years, came over and shook his head, saying:
"If it's about becoming a Great Emperor of this era, there's still a chance, but the Immortal Path..."
"From the age of mythology to the present, apart from the Undying Emperor, who is suspected to be from the Immortal Realm, the only traces of 'immortality' left in the world are the Origin Cauldron of All Things, the Immortal Bell, the Desolate Tower, and the path to immortality that can directly lead to the Immortal Realm, deduced by generations of supreme beings."
"Therefore, if you wish to prove your immortality, I have only one word to say: difficult!"
As he spoke, Cao Yisheng took out a flask, its essence overflowing and countless divine rays emanating from it. The wine, resembling solidified amber, was a divine brew. He then threw it towards Zhou Xuan's direction.
"Difficult, but not impossible."
Taking the celestial wine that Cao Yisheng had somehow obtained, Zhou Xuan calmly gathered his qi to form a cup, poured out half of the wine, and then threw the bottle towards Cao Yisheng, saying:
"Since traces of 'immortals' remain in the universe, it proves that 'immortals' exist."
"As long as 'immortals' exist, with my talent, I will surely be able to achieve it."
"Glug glug glug!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan raised his cup towards Cao Yisheng. After Cao Yisheng responded, Zhou Xuan tilted his head back and drank the spirit-filled celestial wine in one gulp.
"Although you are very confident, as a fellow Daoist, I still want to tell you a fact."
Watching Zhou Xuan down the wine in his cup in one gulp, Cao Yisheng also tilted his head back and downed the wine in his bottle in one go, speaking as well:
"From the age of mythology to the present, apart from severing his own origin, roots, the Great Dao and everything else, he once again proved himself to be an invincible Heavenly Venerable Emperor in the most primordial state, competing in the mortal world."
"In addition to the Undying Emperor, which is suspected to be an object from the Immortal Realm and whose true form is an Undying Phoenix."
"The mythological era, the ancient era, all the way to the present-day primitive era."
"There isn't even one. I'm talking about one existence that has embarked on the path to immortality."
"If it were the Emperor, who hadn't been ambushed by the Undying Emperor, he might have had a slight chance of becoming an immortal after forging the Immortal Artifact, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron..."
"As for the Immortal Emperor, the only trace he left in the mortal world is that Immortal Heavenly Blade..."
At this point, Cao Yisheng, who had already attained the quasi-emperor level within ten years, seemed to see in his eyes a series of supreme beings and amazingly talented geniuses.
However, Cao Yisheng, whose entire body, every inch of skin, every hair, exuded an aura of tribulation, shook his head and opened the wine bottle:
"Therefore, becoming an immortal is difficult!!"
"tread!!!"
As he finished speaking, Cao Yisheng, who had just reached the Quasi-Emperor realm, put down the wine bottle in his hand.
Then, he took a step and leaped out.
The next instant, Cao Yisheng, who had landed on the five-colored altar that Zhou Xuan had personally forged, turned his head to look at Zhou Xuan and laughed as he spoke:
“Fellow Daoist, I too must embark on the ancient path of the starry sky, undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, the Earthly Tribulation, and the Human Tribulation, to verify my cultivation and ascend upwards.”
As he spoke, the unscrupulous, fat Taoist priest Cao Yisheng bowed to Zhou Xuanxing and began to speak:
"The sky is high and the road is long. I ask my fellow Daoist to help me ascend to the starry sky and tread the ancient road."
"We are fellow Daoists, why be so formal?"
Looking at Cao Yisheng, whose eyes gleamed with wisdom and whose mannerisms were different from usual.
Zhou Xuan slightly shook his head, avoiding Cao Yisheng's bow, and said:
"Fellow Daoist, on your journey to the Ancient Star Road, if you encounter my younger sister, please remember to take care of her for me."
Upon hearing this, a wicked smile, familiar to Zhou Xuan, appeared on the face of the fat Taoist Cao Yisheng, and he laughed:
"I will naturally obey the command of the invincible Great Perfection Holy Body."
"Boom!!!"
As soon as Cao Yisheng finished speaking, Zhou Xuan waved his hand.
The originally dull five-colored altar instantly manifested a massive domain gate, powerful enough to transport even a quasi-emperor, radiating brilliant light.
As soon as the dimensional gate appeared, Cao Yisheng turned around without hesitation and took a step out.
Looking at Cao Yisheng's back, and then at the system interface, one could obtain the flawless immortal artifact, the Immortal Seal, by simply hiding the power of an emperor for another hundred years.
Zhou Xuan murmured, his eyes slightly narrowed:
'For others, the Great Dao may seem lofty and unattainable, the path to immortality elusive.'
'However, for me, the path to immortality is within reach, right before my eyes…'
Chapter 33 A mere Great Perfection Holy Body, easily handled!
"A flawless immortal artifact!"
Looking at the text on the system interface, Zhou Xuan, who had just received the lifelong insights of the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor and had already glimpsed the path to the thirteenth level of Heavenly Emperor realm combat power, sighed inwardly:
"According to the Stone Emperor's memories, although there are legends of immortal artifacts such as the Immortal Bell and the Desolate Tower in this universe, even the Stone Emperor himself, who was born over countless years and caused one dark upheaval after sealing the forbidden zone, could only capture the traces of immortal artifacts I possessed: the Remnant Cauldron of Immortality."
"The rest, whether it is the legendary Immortal Bell located in Kunlun, or the Desolate Tower forged by the first Daoist in history, Desolate, who was said to be in the Eastern Wilderness, has vanished without a trace."
"And now, I only need to wait a hundred years to obtain a flawless immortal artifact."
At this point, Zhou Xuan lowered his head and looked towards the slowly rotating Big Dipper, the ancient star of life, in the direction of the Eastern Wilderness, and began to speak:
"As expected, time is on my side!"
As soon as his sigh subsided, Zhou Xuan turned his attention away from the ancient star of life in the Big Dipper and focused on the lifelong insights of the Heavenly Emperor of the Southern Ridge.
The cultivation insights of the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling can be clearly divided into two stages.
The first stage is naturally the period of the "Devouring Heaven Emperor Scripture," which involves devouring the essence of others, elevating one's own physical constitution, and once the technique is mastered, being able to devour mountains and rivers, transform into a black hole to shatter and devour everything.
This period should be when Xiao Nannan had just entered the field of cultivation and created the "Swallowing Heaven Emperor Scripture" in order to make up for the gap between herself and those with superhuman physiques.
This point is sufficient proof from the various errors and detours mixed in with the insights gained from the "Swallowing Heaven Emperor Scripture".
The second stage is the "Devouring Heaven Emperor Scripture" reaching its great completion, becoming an acquired chaotic body, and after becoming a Great Emperor, it was created, capable of competing with heaven and earth for destiny, seizing the creation of the past and present, shedding its old body, transforming into a divine embryo, and beginning the new era of the "Undying Heavenly Art".
The Devouring Heaven Emperor Scripture devours heaven and earth, using all kinds of physiques as resources to improve oneself and elevate one's physical attributes. Although the technique is powerful, it is ultimately against the harmony of heaven and earth.
However, originating from the "Devouring Heaven Emperor Scripture," it transcends it, shedding its demonic embryo, severing all causal ties, erasing all future troubles, and giving birth to a divine embryo. Each gestation requires overcoming its former self.
Thus, the "Undying Heavenly Art," stronger than before, achieves a state of destruction followed by construction, constantly surpassing and perfecting itself to reach its full potential.
It encompasses the mighty power of all heavens within itself, embedding boundless power deep within its flesh, organs, and bones. Through countless ages and eras, only its true form remains unchanged, eternally steadfast and indestructible…
"Such a classic, truly a masterpiece of genius!"
Looking at the contents of the *Devouring Heaven Emperor Scripture* and the *Undying Heavenly Technique*, and comparing them with the various classics he possessed, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but sigh:
"When you are invincible in the world, you become your own enemy; every time you defeat yourself, you can find your own shortcomings through the battle with yourself, improve yourself again and again, perfect yourself, until the world's vicissitudes prove your worth, and the long river of time does not touch you..."
At this point, Zhou Xuan, whose eyes conjured up the image of his young daughter, paused in his sigh and spoke with a sorrowful expression:
"How many hardships, how many tribulations, how lonely must the little girl have gone through to create such a technique!"
Cultivation techniques embody a person's lifelong path of enlightenment. Zhou Xuan, who had thoroughly studied the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor's lifelong insights, clearly sensed a profound loneliness within the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor's cultivation techniques.
With all his relatives and friends gone, the various emotions of the world can no longer disturb the loneliness in his heart.
Aside from loneliness, what impressed Zhou Xuan even more was his obsession.
In his comprehension of the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor's cultivation technique, Zhou Xuan saw an intense obsession, more profound than any other: a self-inflicted wound, a fall from invincible status, an invincible heart tainted by dust, a flaw in one's own Great Dao, yet still clinging to life, solely to pursue the supreme forbidden realm of the Immortal Path.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan's mind stirred slightly.
Connecting the crying and laughing mask with the extreme imperial inscription he left on the little girl's body, and that ring.
In the next instant, Zhou Xuan's divine sense traversed the Eternal Star Domain and descended.
Following the Supreme Emperor's script, Zhou Xuan instantly sensed the environment in which Xiao Nannan was located.
This is a rare world, barren to an appalling degree, in the current stage when the essence of heaven and earth is flowing freely and the golden age has begun.
With a slight sweep of his divine sense, Zhou Xuan sensed the endless sea of corpses, forming a vast ocean of blood, and above that sea of corpses and blood, countless skeletons with unyielding wills, controlling their bones and fighting mindlessly.
