Chapter 317

"You are the Underworld Emperor?!"

The Divine Baby was stunned. This old geezer could actually survive. Looking at the red-faced, bloated fat Daoist, ancient memories surfaced again, and the two figures overlapped, fitting perfectly.

Duan De hummed. Although he had not attained the Dao now and had not completely recovered his past-life memories, only a few memories flickering in his heart like floating light and passing shadows, it did not affect his posturing at all.

"Becoming an Immortal and building the Dao for a million autumns, stars fall and moons wither, the heart is sorrowful. Sleeping for eternity, Emperors fall; the Heavenly Court has collapsed, where can one roam?"

Duan De stood with his hands behind his back, looking like a master from outside the world. Facing the Divine Baby, he didn't show any stage fright, but instead said loudly, "This poor Daoist has given pointers to various Heavenly Emperors. You child, why don't you kowtow."

"Apprentice to me, and the Emperor's throne of this life will be yours."

"I'll apprentice to your head!" The Divine Baby became excited instantly. Although he didn't know why, the instinct in the depths of his memory reminded him that if he met a fat Daoist claiming to be the Underworld Emperor, he must beat him up first.

"Holy crap, holy crap, stop hitting, stop hitting..."

Although Duan De had high seniority, the Divine Baby was now a Saint, and he had no chance to fight back at all, instantly being beaten black and blue.

Ye Fan looked at this scene with a strange expression and muttered, "The relationship between the Emperor and the Underworld Emperor seems not very harmonious. Even the weapon doesn't like Duan De."

"Both master and friend." Lin Xian chuckled and explained, "The Emperor and the Underworld Emperor are not in a traditional master-apprentice relationship."

Perhaps, back then, the generation of the Emperor was just a little helper following Duan De's butt to dig graves and steal tombs—one responsible for seeking dragons and exploring, the other carrying a Luoyang shovel to dig soil. Time passed, years changed, and everything in the world was buried.

Only a red-faced fat Daoist roamed in the mortal world, his physical body crossing reincarnation, but the person following behind him had become a pitiful little girl with a mortal body.

In this life, the person behind Duan De had changed again, replaced by an Ancient Sacred Body, often hooking shoulders and backs to steal tombs.

In other words, he is the Dao Ancestor of the system of taking the body as a seed, the mentor of successive Heavenly Emperors.

It's just that Dao Ancestor Duan is really a bit unreliable, so even the Divine Baby doesn't like him.

"Bullying the master and destroying the ancestors!" The bruised and swollen Duan De hurriedly ran behind Ye Fan, screaming, "Emperor apprentice, hurry up and manage your weapon."

"Emperor?" Ye Fan spread his hands helplessly, "I really am not the Heavenly Court Emperor."

"If you say this, see who believes it." Duan De rolled his eyes. The green cauldron deity is with you, and he, the Underworld Emperor, is also in the Heavenly Court. This configuration, never mind outsiders, even the dark Emperor who is an Emperor's corpse gaining consciousness would hesitate for three seconds, suspecting Ye Fan is his own Primordial Spirit reincarnated.

"Everything is in reincarnation, including the Heavenly Court..."

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun."

Lin Xian shook his head. The so-called Emperor is not a name, but a title.

The last of the nine Great Heavenly Venerates lived out a second life, and from then on was invincible in the heavens and on earth, walking out a most glorious path. Heavenly Venerate was not enough to describe his combat power.

So he took the "Emperor" character from Heavenly Emperor and the "Venerate" character from Heavenly Venerate, combining them into Emperor, established the Mythological Heavenly Court, invited the Supremes of the forbidden areas to come out, plotted the Immortal Road together, truly listing the Emperors, and ended the rule of the Mythological Era where Heavenly Venerates were supreme.

But the Heavenly Court is not unique; there is one in mythology, one in this life, one in the Chaotic Ancient Era, and even one in the Immortal Domain, and it can even be traced back to the other shore of the Boundary Sea.

A similar flower blooming is not accidental; there are really too many coincidences.

It is the Heavenly Court that is reincarnating!

In the Boundary Sea, there is an ancient reception hall, which has turned into a pilgrimage road leading to the Heavenly Court on the other shore, the ultimate ancient land. At the end of the road, there is the last chapter of "Original True Explanation," which can allow an Immortal King to break through to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Of course, if one blindly imitates, one will stop at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level with no hope. This is the difference between creating a system and continuing the path of predecessors.

And in the Shrouding the Heavens universe, the starry sky ancient stars of various races, or the Emperor's path, are also pilgrimage roads leading to the Nine-Fold Emperor Pass, which is exactly where the former Mythological Heavenly Court was. In the immortal cave of the Emperor Pass, the Emperor's Immortal Scripture is also recorded.

There are no people who reincarnate, but there are things that reincarnate.

The gold content of this sentence is always rising!

After beating Duan De up, the Divine Baby finally chose to apprentice. After all, with his aptitude comparable to a Chaos Body, even Quasi-Emperors were not qualified to be his teacher.

Except for the Great Emperor Supremes, only Duan De, the Heavenly Emperor who is still in reincarnation, has this qualification.

But the Divine Baby still hid in the divine source, unwilling to come out, humming, "It's not yet the era for me to come out. I won't fight you for the Emperor's throne. This Divine Baby is someone who wants to become an Immortal."

Lin Xian was thoughtful. This is a seed of a Red Dust Immortal and cannot be wasted easily, so he smiled knowingly and started swindling, "As far as I know, the Immortal Road will open in two hundred years."

"If you miss this life, you will have to wait another million years!"

"It's not that one on the Big Dipper..." The Divine Baby was silent for a moment and suddenly said, causing everyone to look sideways. The Divine Baby seems to have a big secret.

Ye Fan asked, but the Divine Baby refused to say anything no matter what.

"Are you waiting for that Immortal Road on the Flying Immortal Star in a thousand years? Sacrificing the Supremes, being reborn, and then breaking in."

Lin Xian was thoughtful and then said meaningfully, "Since ancient times, there has been no 500-year-old Supreme. This is a curse. Even the Beginningless Great Emperor only became an Emperor after cultivating for more than 500 years, and Gai Gai Gai Jiuyou Supreme only touched the threshold of attaining the Dao after a thousand years. You must grasp the time well."

"Perhaps within a thousand years, two Immortal Roads will open."

Even Shi Hao became a Supreme at 56, and until 200, he created his own method, destroyed his Supreme body, and re-cultivated without borrowing from the Heavenly Dao, only then ascending to the peak of the extreme Dao.

The Divine Baby might be comparable to a Chaos Body, but compared to Huang, everything would be eclipsed.

"A thousand years, why is the time so short?"

"It should be at least two thousand years."

The Divine Baby was stunned. This time node doesn't match the deductions of the Emperor, or even all Heavenly Venerates, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors.

Everyone calculated wrong; it's truly a chaotic ancient and modern time!

The Immortal Road on the Big Dipper was prepared for the Green Emperor, but the Green Emperor didn't show up, leading to a total collapse.

The Immortal Road on the Flying Immortal Star should have been for all the Emperor's children and heaven's pride experts to finish developing, then have a peak duel to decide the strongest Emperor, and finally go to become an Immortal.

But it happened early. Never mind the Immortal fruit, even the Great Emperor's throne was snatched by the old Golden Crow.

"The Pre-Qin Qi Refiners of the Primordial Ancient Star are waiting for the Flying Immortal Star; their deductions are more precise."

Lin Xian coughed and swindled, "Although the Emperor is powerful, it is normal for errors to appear in deductions from millions of years ago."

"Let me think carefully." The Divine Baby's face changed unpredictably. If the Flying Immortal Star Immortal Road only had a thousand years, then he would have to race against time.

"If you come out, you can try to be the Lord of the Heavenly Court." Lin Xian continued to lure him, "The Heavenly Court will exhaust its resources to cultivate you."

"Wait, this isn't right, what about me?" Ye Fan suddenly reacted. If the Divine Baby became the Lord of the Heavenly Court, what would he do?

"How about you two fight, whoever wins becomes the Emperor?" Lin Xian felt the drama of the fake and real Emperor was very promising, just enough to sharpen the prisoner Ye.

When Ye Fan was cutting the Dao and was a Saint, he could still fight with the Emperor's children, but after he realized the Heavenly Emperor Fist in the Saint King realm, he was one punch per young Supreme, completely surpassing his contemporaries.

So much so that in the Great Saint realm, he fought dark Supremes, and in the Quasi-Emperor realm, he fought ancient divine generals.

On the path of cultivation, he lacked a formidable opponent of equal strength.

You know, the Beginningless Great Emperor had bloody battles, and the Green Emperor had an opponent like Gu Gu Xinao. Ye Fan swept all the way, unable to test his true combat power.

Just right, the Divine Baby coming out can fill the regret of Ye Fan having no opponent to sharpen him!

"Holy Master, stop messing around. The Divine Baby is a Saint when he comes out. How can we fight." Ye Fan had a dark face. He is Holy Master Ye, not Saint Ye; there are two big realms in between.

"So what if he's a Saint? When the Beginningless Great Emperor came out back then, there was too much good fortune, and the West Queen Mother was worried that his cultivation was unstable, so she specially cut off part of his cultivation to sharpen him."

Lin Xian swindled, "To become an extraordinary person, one must do extraordinary things. Don't you want to repeat the path of the Beginningless Great Emperor, fight all the way to the Emperor's path, be invincible in the past and future, and then become an Immortal in one fell swoop?"

"Let me think again, let me think again..." The Divine Baby kept muttering, then flew back into the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron.

Since ancient times, divine source liquid, except for the natural kind, can only be intercepted and refined by the ancient Great Emperors who hold the Heavenly Heart Imprint, used to seal living beings, allowing them to remain immortal for hundreds of thousands of years.

Whether it is Gai Gai Gai Jiuyou or Amitabha, they can be called Supremes, but they have never held the Heavenly Heart, and they are still a bit away from being true Emperors.

There is no Emperor in this world, and there is no trace of divine source liquid at all. It's easy to go out, but coming back is hard.

Lin Xian shook his head, standing on the peak of the Holy Mountain, chanting the Scripture of Saving People with the Daoists of a city. This time, the dark Immortal Emperor didn't come out; only one after another, the cultivators of the Western orthodoxy were converted.

Others either ran away or were killed by the Heavenly Court army!

In the middle, other God races came to commit crimes, but unfortunately, they were only in the Dao-cutting realm. How could they be enemies of a Half-Saint? They were easily killed.

The entire Western world was shocked, and the news swept across the four seas and eight wildernesses like a storm. The major Western orthodoxies were terrified, and countless cultivators shouted, "A demon has emerged from the Central Plains, the Demon King of Mount Mount Mount Longhu has descended into the human world!"

"The sinister God-slayer has occupied the Holy City!"

The Heavenly Court army was mighty, continuing to conquer, shaking the entire land of faith, coming to question the crime, and approaching the Vatican.

Different from a small place in the secular world, the real Vatican is a pure land where gods sleep, very vast. Here, towering divine mountains rise and fall, holy radiance lingers, angels sing holy songs, strange flowers bloom, old medicines grow on cliffs, and pure-blooded unicorns appear in the forest.

This is an ancient Daoist field, where sages have preached through the ages, extremely extraordinary.

"Heretics are approaching the Vatican!"

"An Eastern Saint has descended on the Western Daoist field!"

Two completely different voices represented the two factions of Western orthodoxy. Some worried that the Heavenly Court army would kill them and conquer this place.

Others laughed heartily. They had long been displeased with the God race and couldn't help but mock, "What are the God races? They are just idols. Our orthodoxy has sages, practices wisdom, seeks the root, opens the gate of the Kingdom of Heaven, and can ascend."

"Our doctrine is great, not to provide faith power for a few extraterritorial God races to practice."

"Follow me to see the Lord of the Heavenly Court and thank them for eradicating the false gods for the West."

"We are not on the same path as the Pope's faction."

A group of ascetic monks came to the Heavenly Court, actually willing to reach cooperation with the East, and then jointly resist those faith orthodoxies in the West.

The people of the Heavenly Court looked at each other. This situation was something even he hadn't thought of.

"Heretics are more detestable than pagans."

Lin Xian sighed, then accepted this group of ascetic monks. What the Heavenly Court wants to do is unify the Primordial Ancient World, truly equal for all living beings, and realize the coexistence of all races.

So what if they are Western cultivators? They are also subjects under the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court has Supremes, extraordinary confidence, and a great spirit of embracing all rivers and being tolerant.

The remaining Western orthodoxies launched a final counterattack. The Pope brought out a God Knight who had once slain gods, different from those who practiced with the help of faith.

An ancient figure appeared, walking step by step, holding a dragon spear, just like a King from ancient times!

"A bit interesting." Lin Xian nodded and commented, "A King of the difficult Dao era."

This God Knight grew up in the environment of Earth's Dharma-ending era, relying on himself to cut the Dao and become a King, definitely having the potential to become a Saint.

The Western Pope said proudly, "This is the God Knight of our church, the number one powerhouse under the starry sky."

The God Knight stood like a monument. Whether it was the people of the Holy See or the cultivators who came to support, they all knelt down and shouted the sound of invincibility.

"Dao wounds on my body, not much life left, I want to fight the last battle of my life!"

The God Knight shook his head calmly and said, "I am the strongest in this world. Even if you are from Mount Mount Kunlun, it is impossible to defeat me."

"Retreat!"

"Invincible in this world, but what if the enemy comes from the starry sky?"

Lin Xian smiled calmly, his aura no longer suppressed, revealing his Half-Saint realm, covering the mountains and rivers!

The vast and surging holy might pressed down, stimulating the formation of the Daoist field here to roar, one piece of holy weapon after another rose into the sky, and fifty holy mountains trembled.

If the God Knight were a Great Perfection King and had the Eight Forbidden domains, he might be able to fight Lin Xian.

But, it's a pity he is only a Dao-cutter, still far from a Great Perfection King.

It was only a few moves, and the God Knight was suppressed by Lin Xian.

"Saint Dao domain."

The God Knight coughed blood and retreated, shook his head, and finally turned into a sigh: "I lost..."

Countless knights and nuns changed their expressions wildly, and some even retreated in fear. Success comes from the power of faith, and failure also comes from the power of faith.

They practice with the help of faith, but they also deeply imprint the sages in their hearts.

In other words, they have gods in their hearts.

"Below the Saint, all are ants!"

"Legend says sages are omniscient and omnipotent; even the God Knight lost, let alone us."

"Saints rule the universe, experiencing ten thousand tribulations without being worn away. They are the Dao itself; we practitioners can only worship."

"Saints are gods who open up the world; we are just subjects in the world. How can we resist?"

Without waiting for the Saint to take action, the cultivators of the Western faith orthodoxy defeated themselves because of the fear and faith in their hearts.

This is a kind of spiritual imprint, self-hypnosis.

The God Knight's power was cultivated by himself, so he dared to resist, but they didn't dare.

"The Saint from the East, spreading the gospel of God, we should convert..."

A holy nun bowed her head, revealing a graceful figure, golden hair shining, skin like jade, just like a pet of the gods.

With the surrender of the nun, countless practitioners submitted.

A ruler rises by this, and must perish by this!

Seeing the scene of surrender before the battle, the Pope was almost angered to death and shouted suddenly, "He is not a true sage, just a Half-Saint!"

"This is the demon of the Central Plains. Our church has faith, has holy weapons, and can also kill him!"

"God is not omnipotent; our church is omnipotent."

Some cultivators of Western orthodoxy woke up in time and cooperated with the Pope to sacrifice the vast and boundless power of faith to fight the enemy.

The faith power accumulated by Western orthodoxy for countless years, if combined, could kill a Great Saint!

"I have even seen the faith power of Mount Sumeru, still afraid of you?"

"Small path, let you see the true Dao of the Great Emperor."

Lin Xian laughed, ordered the Heavenly Court cultivators to chant the Scripture of Saving People together, used faith to fight faith, and then sacrificed the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron, striking a most brilliant blow. The vast Emperor might fell, extremely surging.

Rumble, the holy weapons of the Western orthodoxy were like dry wood in front of the Emperor might, unable to withstand a single blow, breaking one by one. The old Pope didn't even make a scream before dissipating in the light.

Seeing this scene, many Western orthodoxies and families knelt down one after another: "Willing to honor you as a Saint, worshiping the heavens and the earth... Glory belongs to you."

The holy might was majestic, and the God Knight followed on the side. Truly invincible under the starry sky, many cultivators didn't dare to take action and could only worship.

True holy might covers the world!

An ascetic monk from France shouted, "The Saint from the East eradicated the heretical false gods and arrived at his loyal Vatican today. Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!!!"
