Chapter 380: 【Arrived at his loyal Vatican】

"You are the Underworld Emperor?!"

The Divine Child was stunned. That this old geezer could still survive—looking at the ruddy-faced, bloated fat Daoist, ancient memories surfaced again, and the two figures overlapped, perfectly fitting.

Duan De hummed. Although he had not attained the Dao now and had not fully 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 full of sorrow. After sleeping for ages, the Emperor falls; the Heavenly Court has collapsed, where can one roam?"

Duan De stood with his hands behind his back, looking like an expert from outside the world. Facing the Divine Child, he didn't flinch at all, but instead said loudly, "This poor Daoist has given pointers to various Heavenly Emperors. You child, why don't you kowtow?"

"Take me as your master, and the Emperor's throne of this life will be yours."

"I'll kowtow to your head!" The Divine Child became excited instantly. Although he didn't know why, the instinct deep in his memory reminded him that if he met a fat Daoist calling himself 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 Child was now a Saint, and he had no chance to fight back at all, instantly beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Ye Fan looked at this scene with a strange expression and muttered, "The relationship between Emperor Zun 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, "Emperor Zun and the Underworld Emperor are not in a traditional master-disciple relationship."

Perhaps, back then, the generation of Emperor Zun was just a little helper following behind Duan De to dig graves and rob 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 one ruddy-faced fat Daoist roamed 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 a Desolate Ancient Holy Body, often going to rob tombs arm in arm.

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

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

"Destroying the master and ancestors!" The bruised Duan De hurriedly ran behind Ye Fan and screamed, "Emperor Zun disciple, quickly manage your weapon."

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

"If you say that, see who believes it." Duan De rolled his eyes. The Green Cauldron spirit is with you, and he, the Underworld Emperor, is also in the Heavenly Court. With this configuration, never mind outsiders, even the dark Emperor Zun whose corpse gained intelligence 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 Zun is not a name, but a title.

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

So he took the "Emperor" from Huang Tiandi and the "Zun" from Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun, combining them into Emperor Zun, established the Mythological Heavenly Court, invited the Supremes of the forbidden zones to come out, plotted the Immortal Path together, and truly had the Emperors side by side, ending the rule of the Mythological Era where Heavenly Venerables were supreme.

But the Heavenly Court is not unique; mythology has it, the present world has it, the Chaotic Ancient has it, and even the Immortal Domain has it, 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 that has turned into a pilgrimage path leading to the Heavenly Court on the other shore and 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 and become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Of course, if one blindly imitates, one will stop at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor 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 paths 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, Emperor Zun'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 Child finally chose to take him as a master. After all, with his aptitude comparable to a Chaos Body, even a Quasi-Emperor was not qualified to be his teacher.

Except for the Great Emperor Supremes, only Duan De, this Huang Tiandi still in reincarnation, had this qualification.

But the Divine Child 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 Child 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 fooled him, "As far as I know, the Immortal-Becoming Path will open in two hundred years."

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

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

Ye Fan pressed, but the Divine Child refused to say anything.

"Is it the one on Flying Immortal Star in a thousand years? Sacrificing Supremes, reborn, and then breaking in."

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

"Perhaps within a thousand years, there will be two Immortal Paths opening."

Even if Shi Hao became a Supreme at 56, until 200, his system was initially formed, he destroyed his Supreme body, and without borrowing the Heavenly Dao to re-cultivate, he only then ascended to the peak of the Extreme Dao.

The Divine Child 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 Child was stunned. This time point didn't match the deductions of Emperor Zun, or even all the Heavenly Venerables, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors.

Everyone calculated wrong; it's truly a confusion of ancient and modern times!

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

The Immortal Path on Flying Immortal Star should have been for all the Emperor's children and geniuses to finish growing, then have a peak duel to decide the strongest Emperor, and finally go to become Immortals.

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

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

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

"Let me think carefully." The Divine Child's face changed unpredictably. If the Flying Immortal Star Immortal Path only had a thousand years, 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 Child became the Lord of the Heavenly Court, what would he do?

"How about you two have a fight, whoever wins becomes the Emperor Zun?" Lin Xian felt that the drama of true and false Emperor Zun was very promising, just enough to hone the prisoner Ye.

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

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.

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

Just right, the Divine Child coming out could fill the regret that Ye Fan had no opponent to hone him!

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

"So what if he's a Saint? When the Wu Shi Great Emperor came out, he had too much good fortune. The Queen Mother of the West worried that his cultivation was unstable, so she specially cut off part of his cultivation to hone him."

Lin Xian fooled him, "To become an extraordinary person, one must do extraordinary things. Don't you want to repeat the path of the Wu Shi Great Emperor, fight all the way to the Emperor's path, be invincible in ancient and modern times, and then become an Immortal in one fell swoop?"

"I'll think about it again, I'll think about it again..." The Divine Child muttered, then flew back into the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron.

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

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

In the present world, there is no Emperor, and there is no trace of divine source liquid. It's easy to go out, but hard to come back.

Lin Xian shook his head, stood on the peak of the Shengshan, and chanted the Crossing People Scripture with the Daoists of the city. This time, the Dark Immortal Emperor did not come out; only one cultivator of the Western Daoist tradition after another was converted.

The 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 resist a Half-Saint? They were easily beheaded.

The entire Western world was shaken. The news swept across the four seas and eight wildernesses like a storm. The major Western Daoist traditions were terrified, and countless cultivators shouted, "A demon has emerged from the Central Plains; the Demon King of Longhu Mountain has descended into the mortal 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, strands of holy brilliance linger, 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 the Western Daoist tradition. Some were 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 is the God race? They are just idols. Our Daoist tradition has sages, practices wisdom, seeks the root, opens the door to the Kingdom of Heaven, and can ascend."

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

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

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

A group of ascetic monks came towards the Heavenly Court, actually willing to reach cooperation with the East, and then jointly resist those Western faith Daoist traditions.

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

"Heretics are more hateful than pagans."

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

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

The remaining Western Daoist traditions carried out 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, like a King from ancient times!

"Interesting." Lin Xian nodded and evaluated, "A King in the era of difficult Dao."

This God Knight grew up in the Dharma-Ending environment of Earth, relying on himself to cut the Dao and become a King; he definitely had the potential to become a Saint.

The Western Pope said proudly, "This is the God Knight of our church, the strongest 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 invincible sounds.

"Dao wounds on my body, life is short, I want to carry out 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 Kunlun, you cannot defeat me."

"Retreat!"

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

Lin Xian smiled indifferently, his aura no longer suppressed, revealing it—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 holy weapon after another soared into the sky, and fifty holy mountains trembled.

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

But, unfortunately, he was only a Dao-Cutter, far from a Great Completion King.

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

"Saint Dao realm."

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

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

They practiced with the help of faith, but they also deeply imprinted the sages in their minds.

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, enduring ten thousand tribulations without wearing out. They are the Dao itself; we practitioners can only worship."

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

Without waiting for the Saint to make a move, the cultivators of the Western faith Daoist tradition 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 practiced 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, like a pet of God.

With the surrender of the nun, countless practitioners submitted.

A ruler who rises by this will surely perish by this!

Seeing the scene of surrendering before the battle, the Pope was almost angered to death and suddenly shouted, "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 all-powerful."

Some cultivators of the Western Daoist tradition woke up in time and cooperated with the Pope, sacrificing the vast and boundless power of faith to fight the enemy.

The mental power accumulated by the Western Daoist tradition for countless years, if combined, could kill a Great Saint!

"I've even seen the mental power of Mount Sumeru; I'm 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 Crossing People Scripture together, used faith to fight faith, and then sacrificed the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron, hitting an extremely brilliant blow. The vast Emperor might fell, extremely surging.

Boom, boom, boom, the holy weapons of the Western Daoist tradition were like dry wood in front of the Emperor might, vulnerable to 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 Daoist traditions and families knelt down one after another, "Willing to honor you as a Saint, worshiping in heaven and earth... Glory belongs to you."

The holy might was majestic, and the God Knight followed on the side. He was truly invincible under the starry sky. Many cultivators didn't dare to make a move and could only worship.

The true holy might covers the world!

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