Chapter 2627: Only to Become Immortal

Qingfeng Beidou, the Dust Light Emperor, was the master of the Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land during the era of the First Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao, an Emperor Realm cultivator, known as the Qingfeng Beidou Emperor.

In this era, many Holy Lords of Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land revived from the long river of time, so this title gradually faded, and thus he himself and outsiders often called him the Dust Light Emperor, or simply Dust Light.

During the Golden Great Age, many Emperor Realm cultivators of Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land appeared, and many, after obtaining permission or exchanging benefits with the Forbidden Zone Lords, returned to Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land.

Dust Light Emperor was an exception; he did not choose to return to Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land.

Instead, he came here as the Tai Shang Da Ri Yu stationed in Qingfeng Beidou Yu ambassador, engaging in numerous diplomatic activities, economic trade between the two domains, scientific research mutual assistance and cooperation, communication, etc. Leveraging his identity as a successor of Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land, his work proceeded very smoothly, and the exchanges between Tai Shang Da Ri Yu and Qingfeng Beidou Yu brought great benefits to both sides.

"The myriad heavens Qingfeng Beidou Dao soldiers will be defeated, at most not exceeding two thousand years..."

"On the Qingfeng Beidou Dao, slightly lacking, but its sharpness is extremely keen, with many things worth learning and emulating..."

Many Emperor Realm cultivators and strong ones of Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land discussed heatedly.

Dust Light Emperor noticed that the number of ancient emperors in Qingfeng Beidou Holy Land was as many as twenty-eight, far exceeding the ancient emperors of other eight-character Xian Jing forbidden zones, second only to the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

Know that, among the myriad emperors, the Qingfeng Gu Emperor had little fame, yet silently recruited so many ancient emperors.

If he ever rises to power, the number of ancient emperors under his command will surely surge, this forbidden zone ancient emperor performed excellently in the ancient emperor united front work.

This may not be due to diplomatic united front factors. Rather, it is the universality and altruism of the Xian Dao path, as seen in the Weak Water Xian Dao system and Temporal Xian Dao system already emerging in the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Dao system; these Xian Dao industrial systems integrated into the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao, merging the various Xian Dao industrial production chains of both sides, deeply binding interests, and both gained great benefits.

Under the Qingfeng Gu Emperor, human ancient emperors constitute only one-quarter, with far more being various ethnic ancient emperors; Emperor Realm cultivators are also broadly similar.

This is the myriad ethnic equality ancient emperor deeply detested by the Solar Ancient Emperor.

Amidst the encircling myriad emperors, the Qingfeng Dao radiance poured down, one constellation after another surrounding a towering sentient being, his beard and hair all white, wearing a single Xing Zhou white robe that fell, his temperament transcendent and ancient, his entire body flowing with starlight like the Milky Way, as if the innate center of the cosmic star river.

This existence has multiple forms: youth, young adult, elder—three bodies as one.

This is the Qingfeng Gu Emperor, one of the oldest emperors of the Golden Great Age.

No one has ever looked down upon this ancient emperor, for in the Xian Dao, antiquity and strength are the same quality; a sentient being that has endured such vast ages cannot be weak, nor could it possess even a trace of weakness, for the long ages have already washed away any being with weaknesses.

This ancient emperor's gaze is profound, staring at the star river, as if contemplating the great Dao of the universe, not participating in the discussion of the myriad emperors.

"Ancestral Master,"

"Disciple has something to say,"

Dust Light Emperor hesitated slightly, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

Swish! The gazes of many ancient emperors turned toward this place, falling upon this Emperor Realm cultivator, not because of his cultivation, but because of his identity, as the Tai Shang Da Ri Yu stationed in Qingfeng Beidou Yu ambassador, representing the will of the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang in many matters.

"Dust Light, speak if you have something to say."

"Do not be so reserved."

The gaze of the Qingfeng Gu Emperor fell upon this disciple of his after many years, and he spoke gently.

"Ancestral Master,"

"The Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang bears the backbone of humanity, having opened up the current heaven and earth for humanity."

Dust Light Emperor bowed deeply in salute: "Please, Ancestral Master, rush to aid the Tai Shang Da Ri Yu; this benefits humanity, brings great benefit to Qingfeng Beidou Yu, and even greater benefit to all your fellow disciples."

"This is a matter of all benefits and no harm, Ancestral Master!"

He spoke sincerely.

This is not merely empty words, but an entire set of data-supported arguments.

Dust Light Emperor, in his speech, sent via divine sense to the surrounding Emperor Realm cultivators and ancient emperors, and to the Qingfeng Gu Emperor, one report after another—economic, military, Xian Dao scientific research, etc. —all the exchanges between Qingfeng Beidou Yu and Tai Shang Da Ri Yu, the growing trade volume, these are undeniable facts.

Many Emperor Realm cultivators and ancient emperors showed ripples in their gazes; in these exchanges, they gained great benefits, and even many ancient emperors could obtain the special heavenly materials and earthly treasures they needed from Tai Shang Da Ri Yu, advancing their paths somewhat, far surpassing the time when they cultivated in isolation.

Many people thus became puzzled.

Given such great benefits, why do Qingfeng Gu Emperor, Solar Ancient Emperor, Lunar Ancient Emperor, etc., not firmly stand with the Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang?

If the four human eight-character Xian Jing ancient emperors united, plus the Tian Yuan Tai Shang Da Ri Slaughter Demon Sword Formation, what power in the world could defeat humanity?

Such a prospect is longed for.

"This, cannot be done."

"Dust Light."

The voice of the Qingfeng Gu Emperor remained gentle.

"Because..."

Dust Light Emperor's words had not yet left his mouth when the Qingfeng Gu Emperor's voice fell again.

"Dust Light,"

"I have the aspiration to become an immortal." The Qingfeng Gu Emperor spoke gently: "And the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friend, now too strong, this has affected many Dao friends' paths; I have waited how many ages, all worldly emotions and affairs have already been experienced, only the aspiration to become an immortal must not be abandoned."

"What we seek is not victory, but becoming immortal."

"And in the Golden Great Age, only one person has the possibility to become immortal, at most one, even if one person devoured all paths, they might not necessarily become immortal, merely a possibility."

"Thus, Dust Light, do you understand?"

"If the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friend, harmonizing with dust, lowers their own possibility of becoming immortal somewhat, then I and the fellow Dao friends will form an unbreakable alliance."

"The Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friend is too strong; even one person being this strong would make us uneasy."

"Besides, the foundation of Qingfeng Beidou Yu cannot be abandoned; Tai Shang Da Ri Yu cannot break out of the great formation to come to our aid, which is similarly one or two reasons, though somewhat trivial."

A few words, like parting clouds to see the sun, revealed the truth of the current Wu Jin Kong Kong situation.

"Ancestral Master..."

Dust Light Emperor opened his mouth, unable to speak.

"Little Dust Light,"

"Go tell the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friend, we will join the war, the human alliance exists, but all this needs to wait until the Tai Shang Da Ri Yu is breached, the Tian Yuan Tai Shang Da Ri Slaughter Demon Sword Formation is breached, many starry sky territories fall... Tell the Tai Shang Da Ri Dao friend, we will not stand by and watch his death." "More than that, we are powerless."

The Qingfeng Gu Emperor spoke lightly.

Dust Light Emperor spoke gently, his heart darkened, completely losing hope of persuading the other.

At nearly the same time, other forbidden zone ancient emperors of humanity similarly gave similar answers, formally rejecting in writing the request of the Tai Shang Da Ri Yu ambassador.
