Chapter 369: 【Invincible Under the Starry Sky!】
A large five-color altar can cross star domains, span the universe's starry rivers, and arrive at the boundless void. There is also the Big Dipper five domains, which is a super five-color altar, prepared for crossing the two worlds and impacting the Immortal Domain.
The advantage of this kind of large altar is that the distance is long and it is convenient to use. The disadvantage is also very obvious: it requires a powerhouse like Gai Jiuyou to refine it, and every activation will consume huge energy.
The Heavenly Court wants to unify the myriad heavens and domains, lay out the starry sky ancient road, open up the veins, and make it continuously transport fresh blood. Each life ancient star is an important acupuncture point on the meridians.
Big Dipper is the Burial Emperor Star, and Ziwei Emperor Star is a heavy town of the universe. It is reasonable to lay out large five-color altars at the core. The stars passing through on the starry sky ancient road are not so important, equivalent to station nodes, only needing small altars, depicted by sages, as coordinates in the universe.
In the dark and cold universe, stars are dotted, like diamonds embedded in a black curtain.
The Eight Trigrams Gate on the five-color altar released an eternal radiance. The Eight Trigrams symbols on it were like cast metal. The crowd on Ziwei Star gathered, traveled through the universe, and arrived at the first stop, a small brown star. Unlike the vibrant life ancient star, the brown star was full of desolation and silence, without any signs of life.
"In the universe, darkness is the norm, and life is the greatest miracle in the human world..."
The Human Demon Dongfang Taiyi said meaningfully, making everyone's heart tremble.
The cold universe, darkness is boundless, silence is the eternal theme song. The noise of living beings is often only for a moment, like light flying past, invisible.
Since the creation of heaven and earth, a hundred billion years have passed. Under such vast time, everything is dim.
The lifespan of a Great Emperor is no more than tens of thousands of years, and an era is only a few million years. The changes of the ages, perhaps counting the Desolate Ancient, Primordial, Mythological, Chaotic Ancient, Immortal Ancient, and Nether Ancient eras, and even the Emperor-Falling years, can be counted as a great epoch, touching the standard of hundreds of millions.
"Building the Dao for a million autumns to become an immortal, stars fall and moons wither, heart worries, sleeping for eternity, emperors fall, the Heavenly Court has collapsed, where to travel?"
Duan De also felt something, put away his lecherous expression, and rarely had a bit of seriousness, manifesting the demeanor of a grandmaster who preached and created laws and organized the Five Great Secret Realms in the past.
Stepping into the immortal path requires a million years of light. Then what about hundreds of millions of years? Only an Immortal Emperor can carry it, jumping out of ancient history, looking down on the myriad heavens and worlds. Born only eighteen years old, an epoch is a year!
The Human Demon Great Sage looked sideways, his eyes like silk and thread, staring at Duan De, as if penetrating eternity, as if wanting to see through everything.
"What is the old man looking at?"
Duan De shuddered, smiling awkwardly: "I am not an immortal, just a wild Daoist with no background."
The Human Demon is a half-step Quasi-Emperor. Being stared at by him, even a Great Sage would have their soul scattered.
"I always felt you were familiar, but I couldn't remember." The Human Demon old man murmured, his eyes blazing, incomparably bright, and said solemnly: "After Yin and Yang cultivation, it gradually became clear, and finally I discovered your identity from my memory."
"How is that possible!" Duan De was startled first, then laughed, prevaricating: "I am just talking nonsense, how could I be an ancient person."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange. Duan De is the Underworld Emperor. This secret is too important. Only a few people in the Heavenly Court know about it.
Even the Taiyin Body Jiang Tingting, who can be completely trusted, was not told. The Human Demon Great Sage had suspicions before, but was brushed off.
Now that it is mentioned again, and they are about to go to Earth's Kunlun Mountain, Lin Xian simply stood out and told the sages about Duan De's identity.
Fortunately, the people at the scene are not outsiders. Either they are related to the four Supremes of Earth, or they are the core combat power of the Heavenly Court. There is no risk of leaking the secret.
After learning the truth, the sages looked at Duan De with different gazes, murmuring with an unbelievable tone: "He is the Underworld Emperor?"
"The true master of the Underworld is actually also in the Heavenly Court!"
Duan De broke out in a cold sweat, a bit unable to believe that he was the Underworld Emperor, hurriedly denying: "I am not, I am not, I am just a human who has lived for decades, not some prehistoric creature."
"The physical body aura is the same, but the cultivation realm is different. It is very young, without the vicissitudes of Dao cultivation. The life origin will not be fake." The Human Demon old man narrowed his eyes: "I know, it might be the Reincarnation Seal."
As a powerhouse who believes in "all kinds of frost and heaven competing for freedom," the Human Demon is extremely sensitive to life energy. Duan De is not an ancient person, but an alternative reincarnation.
He has Reincarnation Seals in his body, and not just one, but four. Now it is his fifth life.
"Is it really reincarnation?" Ye Fan didn't believe it. If so, wouldn't it mean that so many people who died throughout the ages have a day of resurrection and appearance?
Think about it, the amazing talents of the ages, one by one shining on the sky, piercing through the past and present, if they reappeared in the world, wouldn't heaven and earth be in chaos.
Think about it, the Fighting Holy Emperor was so amazing, Xue Yueqing was so heaven-defying. If they appeared and competed for the Imperial path with the geniuses of the current world, it would truly be a hell game, fighting with real young Great Emperors, just thinking about it is exciting.
"It is not traditional reincarnation, but a longevity method." The Human Demon Great Sage shook his head. This is a method passed down from the Mythological era, from the Underworld.
If the dead body is strong enough, immortal for hundreds of thousands of years, the born soul has nothing to do with the previous one; it is a new life form.
In a sense, this is not reincarnation. The Primordial Spirit was extinguished when the person died, it's just that another spiritual body was born in the body later.
This is because when the Desolate Huang Tiandi created the law, he referenced the advantages of the Indestructible Scripture. Whether it is the Emperor corpse communicating with spirits or the human-shaped stone fetus holy spirit, they are all related to this kind of scripture.
"Reincarnation, if you believe it, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't."
Lin Xian laughed, shook the Human Emperor Banner in his hand, and then said meaningfully: "I don't know about other Great Emperors, but Amitabha Great Emperor is definitely reincarnating, and there is hope for rebirth."
Everyone was stunned, knowing more or less about the situation of the Buddhist Sect. At this moment, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Does this reincarnation exist or not?
At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly smiled, pointed at Ye Fan and said: "The reincarnation of the Emperor is right here, what else do you have to doubt? This is ironclad evidence!"
"The reincarnation of the Emperor, the Underworld Emperor followed, this life we want to recast the Heavenly Court, it was said from the beginning!"
In an instant, everyone suddenly realized, as if piercing a window paper!
"Legend has it that the Underworld Emperor was in the Ancient Heavenly Court, so the Underworld was also commanded by the Mythological Heavenly Court!"
"This life the Underworld Emperor actually reappeared, could it be that Ye Fan is really the Emperor."
As the sages who knew the inside story witnessed Ye Fan becoming the Master of the Heavenly Court, they were half-believing about Ye Fan being the reincarnation of the Emperor.
But with the exposure of the Underworld Emperor Duan De's identity, a powerful piece of evidence appeared!
Now, everyone had to believe it.
Lin Xian said with unfathomable depth: "We people in the Heavenly Court never hide our views and intentions. From the beginning, we said it clearly: we want to recast the Heavenly Court and reopen the immortal path!"
"Here we go again!"
Ye Fan's mouth twitched, and he was completely numb.
Whenever you think Sect Master Lin is at his wit's end, he can always give you a big surprise.
"So that's how it is."
Duan De looked thoughtful, seemed to think of something, and nodded frequently.
"Daoist Duan doesn't mean to point out that I am the Emperor, right." Ye Fan sneered. He had long seen through Sect Master Lin's routine.
With Duan De's shameless character, he would definitely be bought by Lin Xian, and then collude to frame him!
"So that's how it is!"
Duan De suddenly shouted, pointed at Lin Xian and cursed: "Kunlun Mountain is the legacy left by the Underworld Emperor, you actually sold my legacy to me."
"Return my money quickly!"
Ninety-nine Dragon Mountains, casting the Immortal Cauldron to nurture the Immortal Cauldron, relying on one Emperor alone does not have that ability. This is the Underworld Emperor's handwriting!
It was the cooperation of two Heavenly Emperors that led to the birth of the Green Cauldron.
To say that Kunlun Mountain Immortal Land is the Underworld Emperor's dojo is not an exaggeration.
"Oh, so Kunlun Mountain Immortal Land is really your handwriting!"
"Ninety-nine Dragon Mountains, after a long period of time, moved from one life ancient star to another life ancient star. Wherever it passed, heaven and earth withered, spiritual energy dried up, vegetation withered, primates degenerated, all things declined, rapidly decayed, and at the most serious, it could make a life star lose its vitality."
Lin Xian raked back, cursing: "The environment on Earth is even worse than the Dharma-Ending Age, and it was actually caused by you, the culprit!"
"Today I want to represent the billions of compatriots of the Primordial Ancient Star to execute you."
"It's not me, how could it be me!" Hearing that the Ninety-nine Dragon Mountains brought him trouble, Duan De denied it repeatedly, not admitting that he was the Underworld Emperor, and then looked for allies, shouting: "God Baby, right, God Baby, he did it."
"Ah, what does it have to do with me?"
The God Baby, a fat boy, had an innocent expression. He didn't know anything. He had been beaten stupid in the Primordial divine war and only had Sage cultivation.
Lin Xian snorted: "Underworld Emperor, God Baby, you don't want the cultivators on the Primordial Ancient Star to know that the Dharma-Ending Age of Earth was caused by you two, right."
"The Pre-Qin Qi Refiners have been looking for you for a long time, and they are not lacking in Quasi-Emperors and Great Sages."
Duan De and the God Baby instantly had bitter faces. The four Quasi-Emperor Supremes on Earth might not care about this, but it doesn't mean there are no other powerhouses on the Primordial Ancient Star.
There are also many Qi Refiners who are amazing and talented, among whom the Earth Immortal Rongcheng, nicknamed Zhenyuanzi, even wants to compete with the God Court Emperor for the Imperial throne.
In addition, the Heavenly Master Ge Hong is also amazing and talented, mastering many Nine Secrets and having the qualifications to attain the Dao.
Ye Fan patted Duan De on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't think about it, I haven't seen anyone who can take advantage of Sect Master Lin."
The sages were also solemn, because the Emperors were on the Primordial Ancient Star, they thought they had overestimated Earth, but didn't expect to underestimate it.
Earth actually has local Quasi-Emperors, and its strength is stronger than Ziwei, approaching Big Dipper.
"The hometown of the Emperor, extraordinary."
The Human Demon Great Sage sighed, looked at Ye Fan, boarded a warship, and continued on his way. The second star, the third star... the crowd started the five-color altars one after another, crossing the universe.
On the way, they also encountered incomplete five-color altars. Several sages worked together to repair them, built treasure halls on the stars, and left energy divine crystals as a symbol of occupation.
As they got closer and closer to Earth, life forms appeared on the way, but they were not human.
Hundreds of ant-like creatures flew out from beneath the planet, seeming extremely hostile to humans, emitting fierce divine thoughts: "Humans, die!"
No need for the sages to take action, Lin Xian had already severed the Dao and become a King, invincible under the starry sky, fighting with alien life forms. His five-finger-sized fingers pressed down, and he didn't know how many ants he crushed.
"Who are they?" Ye Fan also joined the battlefield, tempering his body, shattering a bull-sized ant, reading its memory, instantly understanding, and shouting: "They are the descendants of invaders who once attacked Earth!"
"So that's how it is, then don't show mercy."
Lin Xian shouted: "Banner, come!"
The Human Emperor Banner fluttered in the sky, the ancient banner's mysterious life and death reincarnation runes becoming more and more brilliant under the illumination of the sun and moon immortal light.
"Purple energy comes from the east for thirty thousand miles!"
The black banner swayed, rolling black energy surging like ocean waves, vast and mighty, sweeping across the star for thirty thousand miles, covering the sky and the star.
"Immortal chanting and divine drinking!"
The black banner turned into a white banner, instantly expanding ten thousand zhang. On the banner surface, one face after another, looking like crying or laughing, rushed out, accompanied by the sound of ghosts crying and gods howling.
The flagpole trembled, chaos energy surged, countless alien races screamed, their souls turning into thick smoke and throwing themselves into the black banner one after another.
Ye Fan stopped punching, looking at the black and white banner, and couldn't help but mutter: "Every time I see this banner, I always feel like I'm a villain."
"What nonsense, how can the Heavenly Court's affairs be called a villain."
Lin Xian scolded. Even if it is a sneak attack, it is a righteous backstab.
There are no Sages on this star. Lin Xian is in high spirits, pushing the eight wildernesses with both hands, truly invincible in the world. What is a Great Accomplishment King? It is the King of a star.
Not every planet is like Ziwei, Big Dipper, and Primordial, where Sages and Quasi-Emperors are everywhere.
Ordinary life planets have at most a few Sages, either sealing themselves in divine sources or going far into the starry sky to seek opportunities.
"I am invincible in the human world!"
Lin Xian shouted, and crushed a group of ants again. Just when he was proud, a red crystal ant king flew out, with deep cultivation, and invincible physical body, actually taking a slap from a Great Accomplishment King without dying.
One slap is not enough, then two slaps!
Lin Xian operated the Fighting Holy Law, and after colliding with the ant king six times, successfully triggered the Jie Secret, stepped into the Eight Prohibitions domain, patted the ant's physical body into meat mud, threw it into the medicine wine gourd, and then grabbed the Primordial Spirit and refined it instantly.
From the memories of these ants, he learned that they were not Earth life, but descendants of the Flying Immortal Star.
Endless ages ago, the Sages of the Flying Immortal Star brought their own clan disciples to cross the starry sky to attack Hangu Pass. They did not succeed, were counter-killed by Earth's Great Abilities, and were pushed all the way back to the Flying Immortal Star, where they are still fighting and settling accounts.
After the Flying Immortal S
The Human-Demon Great Sage captured several Primordial Spirits and read the memories of these Kunlun descendants, then said with some surprise: "The sages of Flying Immortal Star did not come for the Immortal Cauldron; they have a grudge against the Primordial Ancient Star, dating back to an even more ancient era. Why is this?"
In the ancient years, the sages who came for the Immortal Cauldron mainly hailed from the three ancient stars of Fire Mulberry, Heaven-Connecting, and Gouchen. They were not on the same path as those who attacked Hangu Pass, and their numbers were relatively much smaller, while the time was also much later.
"They are the Kunlun Remnant Clan," Lin Xian explained. "The living beings on Flying Immortal Star claim to possess bloodlines close to immortals."
"The Immortal Clan whose Immortal Bell was snatched away by the Emperor?" The Jiang family sage narrowed his eyes, his memory very clear.
Before Emperor Hengyu attained the Dao, he once stood tall in the starry sky, facing challenges from all ten directions. Twelve Quasi-Emperors in total came to fight him, all of whom were killed by him one after another.
Among them were two Quasi-Emperors from the Kunlun Remnant Clan, with Ninth Level Heaven cultivation bases and possessing immortal blood. They were no weaker than a Quasi-Ninth Level Holy Body, yet they were no match for Hengyu.
This was a glorious battle record, which is why the Jiang family has detailed records of the Kunlun Remnant Clan.
"The Kunlun Remnant Clan, as the name suggests, once lived on the immortal mountain Kunlun. They were a group that possessed the Immortal Bell, lived close to immortals, held themselves in high regard, did not mingle with the mortal world, and looked down upon the human realm, thus angering the Heavenly Court's Emperor."
The Jiang family sage narrated: "The Emperor wanted to seize the Immortal Bell and drove them off Kunlun. These tribes were exiled by the Emperor, and thus they began calling themselves the Kunlun Remnant Clan."
"The Emperor snatched Mount Kunlun and placed it in his own hometown." Ye Fan's expression darkened, feeling countless great karmas descend upon him. He said solemnly: "How strong are the current Kunlun Remnant Clan?"
One must know that they established the Heavenly Court in this life and called themselves the Emperor.
"Very powerful. There are sages, Quasi-Emperors, and perhaps even Venerables." Lin Xian chuckled, making Ye Fan's heart hang in the balance.
However, Lin Xian's next words made Ye Fan heave a sigh of relief.
"But the Kunlun Remnant Clan is not to be feared. They have a feud with the Primordial Ancient Star and want to take back the Kunlun Xianshan. How could the heroes of Earth not want to exterminate them?"
Lin Xian smiled slightly: "The Pre-Qin Qi Refiners are blocking the gate on Flying Immortal Star."
Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but Duan De's face turned dark.
Ye Fan originated from Earth, had a bond with the Pre-Qin Qi Refiners, and was suspected to be the reincarnation of the Emperor. He had no reincarnation seal on him and could choose one of two paths.
He had a reincarnation seal and was certainly the Underworld Emperor. Back then, he must have followed the Emperor to attack the Kunlun Remnant Clan and laid out the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, offending the heroes of Earth.
If the two major factions on Flying Immortal Star were to find out, they would likely set aside their grudges and join forces to attack the Underworld Emperor.
"Daoist Duan, rest assured, you are one of us in the Heavenly Court."
Ye Fan said with utmost sincerity, smiling brilliantly; finally, someone was more miserable than him.
Happiness is found through comparison, and joy is built upon the suffering of others.
Duan De's expression was gloomy, and he wanted to look up and howl. Since when did he become a member of the Heavenly Court? He had always been a rogue cultivator, right? At most, he was a contributor, free to come and go.
The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar had been used up; that half of the skull had to be returned to him!
If he joined the Heavenly Court, that half of the Emperor weapon would be like a meat bun thrown at a dog—gone forever, destined to become one of the Heavenly Court's war weapons.
"Does Daoist Duan not want to truly join the Heavenly Court?"
Lin Xian said with a look of surprise: "If the Kunlun Remnant Clan finds out about Daoist Duan's identity in the future, wouldn't that be terrible? No one would help you."
"The Heavenly Court has two different approaches for treating contributors versus its own people."
A threat, a naked threat.
The whole world that knows he is the Underworld Emperor is almost all here. Who else but you would deliberately leak it?
Duan De roared in his heart, but his face changed to a different expression. He said with great excitement: "Holy Master, you misunderstand. I, Duan, have long wanted to officially join the Heavenly Court, but I never had the opportunity to express my heart."
Ye Fan glanced sideways; this face looked familiar, extremely similar to someone he knew.
Lin Xian kept a straight face and coughed lightly: "That's good, that's good. Otherwise, with Daoist Duan knowing so many secrets of our Heavenly Court, I wouldn't know what to do."
"Don't you all agree, Sages?"
The old sage of the Ji family nodded and cooperated very well: "Traitors only deserve death!"
"That's not the case at all. Actually, I have long been a member of the Heavenly Court." Duan De spoke with genuine sincerity, his eyes filled with tears, yet a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Since Daoist Duan is so sincere, Emperor, why don't we buy a horse's bones with a thousand gold? How about we appoint him as the number three figure in our Heavenly Court?" Lin Xian suggested with a smile: "As Deputy Sect Master, in charge of the Underworld."
"I have no objections." At this moment, Duan De was full of loyalty to the Heavenly Court; how could he object?
Ye Fan, however, was a bit puzzled: "Number three figure? Who is the number two Deputy Sect Master?"
Even he, the Emperor, had never heard of a number two leader in the Heavenly Court. Even if it were a puppet, that shouldn't be the case.
"Of course it's me. The Emperor manages the Heavenly Court, Daoist Duan manages the Underworld, and I am responsible for the Human World." Lin Xian said with a beaming smile: "What? You aren't convinced?"
"I have no objections either." Ye Fan sighed: "It is truly my fortune to have two such 'Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix' to assist me."
He could already foresee what a mess the Heavenly Court would become in the future.
He only hoped they wouldn't ruin Earth.
Speaking of Earth, Ye Fan asked the Human-Demon Great Sage: "Senior, how much further is the Primordial Ancient Star?"
"It is just ahead, only one galaxy away."
The old Human-Demon master said indifferently, divine light bursting from his eyes as he looked at the center of the galaxy: a great sun, eight major planets, one of which was a life-bearing ancient star rarely seen in the universe—Earth!
"The distance of one galaxy!"
The sages sighed. This was the gap between them and a Great Sage. Although sages have light-speed, they must forcibly extract cosmic origin energy in the dead universe to travel through the starry sky.
But the universe is simply too vast; even the smallest stellar system must be measured in tens of billions of kilometers, let alone a vast star field.
Sages can at most wander around the vicinity of the Big Dipper ancient star field; without a Five-Colored Altar, they would truly get lost on a long journey.
Upon reaching the Holy King Realm, one can refine all origin energy and need not worry about exhausting divine energy anywhere in the cosmic void. Only by absorbing the divine energy of the void, chaos, stars, and more can one explore the universe.
Only a Great Sage can roam the galaxy, and only a Quasi-Emperor needs no Five-Colored Altar and can walk across one galaxy after another.
"Let's go."
For the final stretch, no Five-Colored Altar was needed. The Human-Demon Great Sage scooped up the Heavenly Court warship, then performed a secret technique, taking everyone on a long-distance flight; in an instant, they crossed hundreds of millions of miles of starry sky.
Just a few steps, and they arrived at the center of the galaxy. It was incredibly shocking, but it was also the expected performance of someone who was about to become a Quasi-Emperor.
Everyone stood on Pluto, looking down at the solar system, their eyes filled with complex emotions. They had arrived; they had finally arrived!
"Let's go to the ancient star of Yinghuo first." Lin Xian looked out at the red Mars and said with a beaming smile: "Since you have all come from afar, as your hosts, we must welcome you properly."
