Chapter 417: 【Make the Heavenly Court Great Again】 (5200)

You are all wrong, the Ruthless Emperor sighed softly, but it was the final word.

Although she is a person of later generations, she is one of the Great Emperors who has walked the furthest on the Red Dust Immortal Road. Fifth life, more than halfway through the Immortal Road—what kind of achievement is this? She can even refine her own immortal weapon, and her Dao fruit is comparable to a True Immortal.

In the Heavenly Emperor meeting, there are also high and low distinctions. The five-life Ruthless Emperor is far ahead, vaguely the head of the Emperors. The Green Emperor and the God Emperor attended the meeting, Amitabha, the Underworld Emperor, and Ye Fan were present, and the God Emperor's son and the Holy Emperor's son were responsible for applauding.

As for Lin Xian, he was the host.

Following the Ruthless Emperor's conclusion on the general trend of the Immortal Road, he conveniently framed the Undying Emperor and made him the scapegoat.

"Everything must have a cause. The Immortal Road was wrong, all living beings were misled, and the path of cultivation was led astray."

"Who caused these things? I think it's the Undying Emperor!"

Lin Xian said righteously, "He is a creature who descended from the Immortal Domain. Unlike the beings of the mortal world, he must have heard of the prestige of the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court and knew the legend of the Heavenly Emperor Huang living out nine lives in the Red Dust to ascend as an Immortal."

"Yet he caused the Heavenly Court to collapse and blocked the news of the Red Dust Immortal. His intentions are bad, and his crimes are heinous!"

Nine lives to ascend as an Immortal! Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court?

One vocabulary after another popped out, causing the Emperors to look sideways and secretly click their tongues. Lin Xian, you still say you are not a reincarnation of a Chaotic Ancient hero.

Even if he is not a cultivator of the Chaotic Ancient era, he might be an immortal spirit descended to earth.

That is why he is so hard-working in targeting the Undying Emperor, because peers are enemies.

"If the Ancient Heavenly Court had not collapsed, if the Undying Emperor had not ambushed one quasi-Heavenly Emperor after another, if there had been no dark turmoil, perhaps the cultivation world would have seen Immortals long ago."

"It was the Undying Emperor who interrupted the pioneering spirit of the Mythological era, no longer promoting Dao methods, and transforming the sect system into a racial system."

Lin Xian stood on the moral high ground and said indignantly, "What happened in the Primordial era was only for the private plans of the race. The crime lies with the Undying Emperor—it's not just talk."

"His crime does not lie in the dark turmoil, but in interrupting the Immortal Road!"

"Why is it that although they are all people who attained the Dao, the titles of the Mythological era and the Primordial era have undergone earth-shaking changes, from Heavenly Venerable to Ancient Emperor? It is not just the Great Change of the Heavenly Heart Mark, but also the reversal of the human atmosphere."

Once these words were spoken, everyone's hearts trembled, thinking about the changes of the two epochs and peering into the mysteries within.

If you want to ask who knows this situation best, there is a fat man in the corner. Under the interrogation of the Emperors, Duan De had a bitter face and stammered. He had cut off his memories and didn't know much.

He could only judge based on the ancient books he had collected in ancient tombs over the years and his own instinctive intuition.

"Intuition. The Emperors have cut through the ages, held the Heavenly Heart, and know many secrets."

Amitabha smiled calmly, "We don't lack history, we only lack an intuition, an angle."

With the joint deduction of several Heavenly Emperors, combined with the judgment of the Underworld Emperor, part of the fog of ancient history was pushed aside.

In the Mythological era, everything was waiting to be done. The Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable organized the five great secret realms and became the first Heavenly Venerable to attain the Dao in the Mythological era.

The influence of the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable was far-reaching. Not only did he point out the direction of cultivation for the world, but he also led the Moral Heavenly Venerable to connect the Reincarnation Mark, pitted the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable into creating the Salvation Sutra and the Zhuxian Sword Array, influenced the Carefree Heavenly Venerable to learn possession, led the Longevity Heavenly Venerable into the Underworld, and taught the Emperor-Respecter to create the Heavenly Court...

The founder of an era determines the style of an era.

It is precisely because the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerable was not confined to the differences of sects and widely spread Dao methods to the world that sects in the Mythological era rose like bamboo shoots after rain.

One Dao Venerable after another in later generations, Heavenly Venerables grew up in such a learning style. When they attained the Dao, they followed suit and established their own sects. The atmosphere of that era was incomparably free, and cultivators were full of longing for becoming an Immortal, which can be called the Golden Spirit, constantly pioneering forward. It was true path-breaking.

The Word-Walking Secret is comparable to an immortal Dao supernatural power, and can even touch the river of time. This is a realm that only Immortal Kings could touch in the past. Who dares to say there are no immortal arts in the human world?

The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill can allow a Heavenly Venerable to live another life, comparable to an immortal medicine. With such achievements, who dares to say there are no immortal medicines in the human world?

The Reincarnation Mark is evil, but with such attainments, the strength of the flesh is comparable to an immortal corpse.

And the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, who could kill immortal corpses, the array he laid out was also an immortal array.

The Nine Great Heavenly Venerables each touched the field of the Immortal Dao and felt that a True Immortal was not untouchable, leading the trend of the era. This wave reached its peak when the Emperor-Respecter forged the Immortal Tripod.

Immortal Dao supernatural powers, Nine-Turn Immortal Pills, supreme immortal weapons—they all had them. Who dares to say that one cannot become an Immortal in the human world?

The Emperor-Respecter once had bold words: I don't understand why everyone is talking about the prehistoric Supremes being trapped on the Immortal Road, as if this ancient battlefield of the Flying Immortal Star is destined to be ominous for us.

Twenty thousand years ago, I started my journey from the Primordial Ancient Star and began my second attainment of the Dao. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were unified. Wherever the Heavenly Court went, all races welcomed it sincerely. It was truly occupying the right time, and that state of vigorous vitality and all things competing for development is still before my eyes.

Twenty thousand years later, the Immortal Road of the Flying Immortal Star has actually become our burial ground?

In short, the human Heavenly Emperor fighting the Immortal Domain Supremes—the advantage is with me.

In such an atmosphere, becoming an individual Immortal was not even the pursuit of the Heavenly Court.

At the end of the Mythological era, almost all cultivators knew that becoming an Immortal was not a difficult thing. What they wanted to do was lead the Heavenly Court army to attack the Immortal Domain, be the only one supreme, and have the whole sect ascend. That was the true ambition.

In fact, the Emperor-Respecter almost succeeded and approached the goal. If it hadn't been for the Supremes of the human world like the Longevity Heavenly Venerable joining forces with the Supremes of the Immortal Domain to attack from front and back, and if it hadn't been for the Undying Emperor blood-sacrificing the Immortal Bell to deliver a fatal blow, he could have truly succeeded in breaking into the Immortal Domain.

Supremes like Extinction and Transforming Snake were the sacrifices for the Emperor-Respecter's blood sacrifice to the Immortal Gate. Perhaps the Heavenly Court could not have the whole sect ascend, but he himself could definitely enter the Immortal Domain.

Unfortunately, history has no "if." The Ancient Heavenly Court collapsed halfway. The Undying Emperor self-sealed in the Immortal Source for ten thousand years, and then came out to attain the Dao. He was indeed as the Emperor-Respecter had praised in the past, crowning the end of the Mythological era, suppressing the past, present, and future, and pioneering the Primordial epoch where bloodline is respected.

Using this as a stage, the trend of sects standing in the Mythological era ended. Later people who attained the Dao all imitated the Undying Emperor in leaving behind racial bloodlines and establishing a divine dynasty of one family, ruling the great universe. Even the scriptures and divine arts they pioneered were only suitable for their own race, not popularized among all races like in the Mythological era.

Until the Desolate Ancient era, the human race rose, and Great Emperors appeared one after another. Because the bloodlines within a race were the same, the sect system was reintroduced into the race, and the situation changed again, presenting a pattern of a hundred flowers blooming.

"From the Underworld Emperor to the Emperor-Respecter, it is the process of the Great Emperor evolving from the Heavenly Emperor."

Lin Xian talked eloquently, "If the Mythological epoch had not ended and continued to promote Dao methods, the foundation of the great universe would have deepened. Then the Primordial epoch should have seen Heavenly Emperors emerging one after another, just like the Emperors sitting and discussing the Dao today, discussing eternal life methods. The seven great life forbidden zones should be like the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, with Heavenly Emperors in the nirvana period!"

"The Heavenly Emperors working together to explore the Immortal Dao—this is the correct historical process."

"The Undying Emperor forcibly interrupted this process. He is a spy sent by the Immortal Domain to our human world, fearing that the human world would be stronger than the Immortal world and attack his hometown, so he did it on purpose."

"Gentlemen, the Immortal Domain is not as lofty and bright as you imagine. From the Chaotic Ancient, and even the more ancient Immortal Ancient, it has had grievances with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

Everyone suddenly realized. Lin Xian's words raised the height of the Undying Emperor from personal fighting and grievances to the height of civilization destruction, and even to the level of a traitor to the world.

When it comes to framing, Sect Master Lin is quite capable.

But thinking carefully, there is actually some truth to it. Dark turmoil is the periodic law of the Shrouding the Heavens universe, interrupting the trend of civilization's rise. The Undying Emperor secretly harmed one Ancient Emperor after another who had hope for the Immortal Road, and is the true black hand.

At the end of the Desolate Ancient era, more than a dozen Great Emperors appeared in two or three hundred thousand years, plus nine generations of Great Accomplishment Holy Bodies, including the Ruthless Emperor, Wu Shi, Amitabha, Feathered... Such brilliant Emperors are enough to explain everything.

If you add the Demon Emperor, Emperor Fuxi, Nuwa, and the various Emperors, the success rate of the Desolate Ancient era was far higher than that of the Primordial era, comparable to the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological era.

"The Immortal Domain does not want to see the human world become strong. Is the legend that the Undying Emperor is an immortal spirit descended to earth actually true?" The God Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the Green Emperor, testing him, "Fellow Daoist Wan Qing established the Heavenly Court—did you foresee this scene?"

"Evolving the Immortal Domain is to be vigilant against the Immortal Domain, wanting to break this eternal reincarnation and lead the human world to pioneer its own new Immortal Domain?"

"Worthy of being a Heavenly Emperor with great wisdom. A lotus in the eternal blue sky is brilliant; it is indeed well-deserved."

Once these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to the Green Emperor, a trace of admiration flowing in their eyes. Originally, Heavenly Emperor Wan Qing had thought so far ahead; he was truly wise.

I said, how could the only person to attain the Dao and become an Emperor in the post-Desolate Ancient era be ordinary, lying in the Desolate Tower and pretending to be dead at such an important node in the Golden Age.

He must be planning some great scheme and laying out a heaven-shaking plan.

Worthy of you, Chaos Green Lotus!

"The naturally evil Undying Emperor harms the human world. The Green Emperor evolving the Immortal Domain is precisely taking precautions."

Lin Xian boasted with a straight face, "The five elders of our Heavenly Court are all supreme Supremes. The Western Buddha Elder saves all living beings, the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor strikes into the forbidden zone, the Northern Domain Heavenly Emperor Wu Shi suppresses the Immortal Road, and the Eastern Green Emperor evolves the Immortal Domain, working hard for the great universe, forgetting to eat and sleep, to the point that his heart's blood is almost dry and he is unable to spare a body."

"At this time of danger and survival, I hope His Majesty the God Emperor will abandon the differences between races, come out of the mountains again, and save the people from fire and water."

Heart's blood? Everyone glanced at the Green Emperor's empty Primordial Spirit. This is truly a hellish joke.

"Hmm, hmm? Hmm!" The Green Emperor was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "That's right, that's exactly how it is. Ahem, what Fellow Daoist Silkworm Emperor said is very true."

"Eternal reincarnation, the accumulated evils are such that the Immortal Road and the eternal life disaster cannot be resolved by the power of one Emperor."

"The Heavenly Court and His Majesty the God Emperor join hands. Please let the immortal weapon Desolate Tower be the witness." Lin Xian took an inch and wanted a foot, taking the opportunity to bow again, inviting out the Desolate Tower that had been silent, and said sonorously, "Today, under the witness of the Desolate, let us make the Heavenly Court great again!"

"Connect the Red Dust Immortal Road interrupted by the Immortal Domain spy, the Undying Emperor, lead the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths toward revival, and recast the Immortal Ancient era where Supremes walked everywhere and True Immortals were not as good as dogs."

Desolate? The Ruthless Emperor looked sideways.

Desolate Tower? The immortal weapon pondered.

Heavenly Emperor Huang? Just a milk-drinking baby.

"Witness, reincarnation." The Desolate Tower suddenly rumbled, its deity turning to look at Ye Fan, examining, "Everything today is too coincidental. Even you look very familiar..."

What is going on today? Everyone is so familiar. The Green Emperor is fine; he is the reincarnation of the Green Lotus Immortal King, an immortal medicine transformed, eternal and immortal.

But Lin Xian, Duan De, the Black Emperor, and even Ye Fan all have an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It is truly too strange.

This face actually has some similarities.

Ye Fan's heart tightened, and his face turned black. Could it be that even the immortal weapon thinks he is the Emperor-Respecter? Even so, he still said stubbornly, "I am me, not anyone else."

"He said the same thing..." The Desolate Tower said faintly, dreaming back to the Chaotic Ancient years, recalling the personality of the Heavenly Emperor Huang.

The past me is chanting scriptures for the present life; the present me is destined to be invincible; the future me turns into a variable.

That is why he could forge an invincible path of "Body as a Seed" without relying on external help.

Similar faces, the same personality—it is truly too similar.

This is the consequence of being stubborn.

Everyone's eyes became strange. This is the recognition from an immortal weapon, a tower that has witnessed the Chaotic Ancient, Mythology, Primordial, and Desolate Ancient eras. Perhaps it even dealt with the Emperor-Respecter back then.

"However... you should not be him."

The Desolate Tower said leisurely, almost making Ye Fan burst into tears. How many years had it been? How many big figures had he seen? Finally, someone recognized him.

Sure enough, Lord Desolate Tower is more suitable to be the symbol of the Heavenly Court than some shitty Immortal Tripod!

From today on, he would abandon the Tripod and respect the Tower.

"Why?" Ye Fan's gaze was urgent, his heart excited, wanting to seek an answer.

"That lord's eyes were clearer than yours." The Desolate Tower deity rumbled, incomparably admiring, "There is a kind of primitive Dao, an incomparably simple aura, unclear, indescribable, chaotic and complete, supreme and infinite..."

Everyone was solemn. Even the Emperors were sighing. Worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor Huang, single-minded, always an immortal family whose eyes had nothing but the Dao.

Only such a Red Dust Immortal could attain the Dao and become an Immortal in the Age of Dharma Decline.

Only Lin Xian had a strange expression, secretly spitting in his heart. What kind of simple aura? It was clearly the clarity and stupidity of drinking beast milk and not having gone to school.

And our President Ye had left the ivory tower of university for who knows how many years, crawled and climbed to start a company, drove a Mercedes-Benz exclusive to Great Emperors, and was deeply versed in the way of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and slapping faces to act cool. If it weren't for encountering the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, he would also be one of the classic Ye-surnamed protagonists in urban novels.

"Not him."

Little Nan Nan's Sendai glowed. The Ruthless Emperor sighed softly across billions of mountains and rivers, with profound meaning. If Ye Fan was not the reincarnation of the Emperor-Respecter, then could it be the reincarnation of her brother?

The Emperor-Respecter is not a Holy Body, but the Ruthless Emperor's brother is a Holy Body.

"Ask the world, is there reincarnation?"

A faint voice echoed in the Emperor's tomb, making everyone feel lingering fear. It is said that if you believe, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't. But throughout the ages, how many people have seen it?

The Holy Emperor's son was dimmed. His father had clearly passed away, and the only hope could only be placed in reincarnation.

The Desolate Tower could not answer this question. Amitabha said there was, but he could not convince the world.

The Buddhist sect firmly believes that the afterlife is not illusory and can be waited for. In the river of time, there will always be two similar flowers. One flower withers, one flower blooms. The most beautiful brilliance is in the future.

This is one of the bases for the Ruthless Emperor suspecting that Ye Fan is the reincarnation of her brother.

But even the Buddhist Great Emperor is on the road and has not thoroughly implemented it. If there is true reincarnation, isn't the afterlife a scam?

"There is!"

Just when the Emperors were thinking, Lin Xian held a white paper boat, his voice incomparably firm, his eyes faintly shining, "If you never forget, there will be an echo. Reflecting the heavens, attaining the Dao in a dream."

"There are three deaths for a person: death of the body, extinction of the soul, and scattering of the thoughts."

"Those whose bodies die can be saved by reincarnation; those whose souls are extinguished can be recast by faith; those whose thoughts do not scatter can be reflected and reappear!"

"That Holy Body from twenty-something thousand years ago only had his body die and soul extinguished, but one thought remained."

"Where is the thought?" The aura within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land surged, shocking the Supremes of the several forbidden zones into cursing Green... No, this aura is not the Green Emperor.

"That place, is the Immortal Road about to open?" All the Supremes muttered to themselves. Waiting for a million years, they had no regrets in their hearts!

"Generation after generation... ahem, wrong lines. There is no generation, only one person."

Lin Xian sighed, "If the obsession does not perish, there is a glimmer of survival. One's own thoughts can do it, and the thoughts of others can also do it."

Suddenly, the white paper boat in Lin Xian's hand emitted a resentful sound like crying and weeping: "Not for becoming an Immortal... just to wait for you to return in this Red Dust."

A woman's voice seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens, making the Kings tremble. Existing in the Red Dust, not for becoming an Immortal, she chose a path that the world could not understand.

The Ruthless Emperor was silent, and the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land returned to peace. Only little Nan Nan's pair of big eyes were pure. She reached out her small hand, grabbed the white paper boat, and said naively, "The paper boat big brother folded for Nan Nan, why is it here?"

"Thinking of brother paper, thoughts like a spring, thinking of the holy boat and never forgetting..." Lin Xian muttered in his heart, but in the end, he didn't say it out loud. He was afraid of dying for his own reasons.

"This paper boat..."

The Desolate Tower deity gasped. Why was everything so strange today? Everything he saw was familiar. He touched the paper boat, sensed that glimmer of brilliance, and suddenly the tower body trembled, muttering, "I, I seem to remember something. I am not complete."

Nine-colored immortal light evolved into chaotic Qi, but it did not rush to the sky, but stood above time and space, like a coordinate, like a lighthouse, seemingly receiving something.

"Is He waiting for the Heavenly Emperor Huang?" The God Emperor was solemn, increasingly shocked. A broken tower is an immortal weapon; if it were complete and flawless, what level would it rise to? Could it really suppress and kill an Immortal?

The moment the lighthouse lit up, in the endless river of time, pairs of eyes opened, looking toward this place, and then vanished in an instant.

"There is great karma."

The Green Emperor gasped. The more powerful one is, the more in awe one is of the river of time. Even an Immortal Dao cultivator cannot reverse it.

The Desolate Tower was like a dream, as if it had pierced through the river of time, muttering, "I am the cornerstone, I am also the coffin..."

Everyone's scalp went numb. How did it get involved with a coffin again? Could it be that there is a Tower Emperor in the human world!

There might not be a Tower Emperor, but there is indeed an immortal tower at the quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

A flame of the Emperor combined with the Willow Deity to forge a quasi-Immortal Emperor, and the remaining corpse fused with the tower to achieve a quasi-Emperor weapon.

This is the last legacy left to the world by that Footprint Emperor who forged the dam of the Boundary Sea, draining the last drop of blood and fighting with the last bone for the world.

"Make the Heavenly Court great again."

Lin Xian was thoughtful, his heart moved, and he performed a sacrifice to the Desolate Tower. The relevant etiquette of the Stone Village High Priest came to his mind. His voice was simple and ancient, like the Dao sound of the Chaotic Ancient era, piercing through the river of time and having an incomparably far-reaching influence.
