Chapter 427: 【Make the Heavenly Court Great Again】 (5200)

"You are all wrong," the Empress sighed softly, but it was a final verdict.

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. The fifth life, 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 Huang Tiandi meeting, there are also high and low distinctions. The five-life Empress is far ahead, vaguely the head of the Emperors. The Green Emperor and the Huang Tiandi attended the meeting; Amitabha, the Underworld Emperor, and Ye Fan were present; the Huang Tiandi's son, the Holy Emperor's son, and others were responsible for applause.

As for Lin Xian, he was the host.

Following the Empress's conclusion on the general trend of the Immortal Road, he took the opportunity to frame the Undying Emperor and make him the scapegoat.

"Everything has a cause. The Immortal Road is wrong, all living beings have been misled, and the cultivation path has been led astray."

"Who caused all this? 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 known the legend of the Huang Tiandi Huang living nine lives in the red dust to ascend to immortality."

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

Nine lives to ascend to immortality! Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court?

One vocabulary after another popped out, causing the Emperors to look sideways and secretly gasp. 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's 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-Huang Tiandi 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 was generous and righteous, standing on the moral high ground, filled with righteous indignation: "What is the matter with the Ancient era? It only became a private plan for the race. The crime lies with the Undying Emperor—this is not just talk."

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

"Why, clearly being attainers of the Dao, did the titles of the Mythological era and the Ancient era undergo earth-shaking changes, from Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun to Ancient Emperor? It is not just a change in the Heavenly Heart Mark, but also a reversal of the humanistic atmosphere."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts were shaken, thinking about the changes of the two eras 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 torture and 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 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 indifferently: "We don't lack history; we only lack an intuition, an angle."

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

In the Mythological era, everything was waiting to be done. The Tribulation Crossing Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun organized the Five Great Secret Realms and became the first Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun to attain the Dao in the Mythological era.

The influence of the Tribulation Crossing Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun was far-reaching. Not only did he point out the direction of cultivation for the world, but he also led the Moral Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun to form a Reincarnation Seal, pitted the Lingbao Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun into creating the Crossing People Scripture and the Zhuxian Sword Array, influenced the Carefree Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun to learn possession, led the Changsheng Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun into the Underworld, and taught Emperor Zun to create the Heavenly Court...

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

It was precisely because the Tribulation Crossing Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun did not stick to the differences between sects and widely spread Dao methods to the world that sects in the Mythological era rose like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Later generations of Dao Venerables and Heavenly Venerables grew up in such a learning style. When they attained the Dao, they followed suit and founded their own sects. The atmosphere of that era was incomparably free. Cultivators were full of longing for becoming Immortals, which can be called the Golden Spirit, constantly pioneering forward. It was true path-breaking.

The 'Xing' Secret is comparable to an immortal Dao supernatural power and can even touch the long 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 let a Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun 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 Seal is evil, but with such attainments, the physical strength can be called an immortal corpse.

And the Lingbao Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun, who could kill immortal corpses, also set up an immortal array.

The Nine Great Heavenly Venerables each touched the Immortal Dao realm, feeling that True Immortals were not untouchable, leading the trend of the era. This wave reached its peak when Emperor Zun forged the Immortal Tripod.

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

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

"Twenty thousand years ago, I embarked on a journey from the Desolate 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 us sincerely. It truly occupied the right time, and the state of vitality and competition was still before my eyes."

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

In short, human Heavenly Emperors fighting Immortal Domain Supremes—the advantage is with us.

In such an atmosphere, personal immortality 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 task. What they wanted to do was lead the Heavenly Court army to attack the Immortal Domain, rule supreme, and ascend as a sect—that was the true ambition.

In fact, Emperor Zun almost succeeded and approached the goal. If it hadn't been for the Supremes of the human world like the Changsheng Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun 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 and delivering a fatal blow, he really could have succeeded in breaking into the Immortal Domain.

Supremes like Silence and Snake-Transformation were the sacrifices for Emperor Zun's blood-sacrifice of the Immortal Gate. Perhaps the Heavenly Court could not ascend as a sect, but he personally could definitely enter the Immortal Domain.

Unfortunately, history has no "if." The Ancient Heavenly Court collapsed halfway. The Undying Emperor sealed himself in the Immortal Source for ten thousand years, and then came out to attain the Dao smoothly. As Emperor Zun praised in the past, he crowned the end of mythology, suppressed the past, present, and future, and pioneered the Ancient era where bloodline is respected.

Taking this as a stage, the trend of sects in the Mythological era ended. Later attainers of 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 mythology.

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

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

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

"The Heavenly Emperors joining forces 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 Domain 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, there has been a grudge 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 grudges to the height of civilization destruction, and even to the degree of a traitor to the world.

When it comes to framing, Saint Master Lin is quite skilled.

But thinking carefully, it actually makes some sense. Dark turmoil is the periodic law of the Shrouding the Heavens great universe, interrupting the upward trend of civilization. The Undying Emperor secretly harmed one Ancient Sovereign after another who had hope for the Immortal Road; he 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. Among them, there was no lack of stunningly talented Emperors like the Ruthless One, Wu Shi, Amitabha, and Yuhua, which is enough to explain everything.

If you add the Demon Emperor, Fuxi, Nuwa, and the Emperors, the success rate of the Desolate Ancient era was far higher than that of the Ancient 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 Huang Tiandi narrowed his eyes, looked at the Green Emperor, and asked tentatively: "Did Fellow Daoist Wan Qing establish the Heavenly Court because he foresaw 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 Huang Tiandi with great wisdom. A lotus in the eternal blue sky is stunningly talented; it really lives up to its reputation."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes looked at the Green Emperor, and a trace of admiration flowed in their eyes. Originally, Huang Tiandi Wan Qing 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? At such an important node of the Golden Age, he was lying in the Desolate Tower pretending to be dead.

He must have been planning some great scheme and laying out a shocking 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, saying righteously: "The five elders of our Heavenly Court are all supreme Supremes. The Western Buddha Elder saves all living beings, the Southern Ridge Huang Tiandi breaks into the forbidden zone, the Northern Domain Huang Tiandi Wu Shi suppresses the Immortal Road, and the Eastern Green Emperor evolves the Immortal Domain, worrying about the great universe, forgetting to eat and sleep, to the point that his heart's blood is almost dry and he cannot spare a body."

"At this time of danger and survival, I hope His Majesty the Huang Tiandi 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 was truly a hellish joke.

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

"Eternal reincarnation, accumulated evils to this point. The Immortal Road and the disaster of eternal life cannot be resolved by the power of one Emperor."

"The Heavenly Court and His Majesty the Huang Tiandi join hands. Please let the immortal weapon Desolate Tower be the witness." Lin Xian took an inch and asked for a foot, taking the opportunity to bow again, inviting out the Desolate Tower that had been silent, and said powerfully: "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 to revival, and recast the Immortal Ancient era where Supremes walked everywhere and True Immortals were not as good as dogs."

Desolate? The Empress looked sideways.

Desolate Tower? The immortal weapon pondered.

Huang Tiandi Huang? Just a milk-drinking baby.

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

What's going on today? Everyone is so familiar. The Green Emperor can be counted as the reincarnation of the Green Lotus Immortal King, an immortal medicine taking human form, eternal and immortal.

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

This face is actually somewhat similar.

Ye Fan's heart tightened, his face darkened. Could it be that even the immortal weapon thinks he is Emperor Zun? 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 Huang Tiandi Huang.

The past me chants scriptures for the present life; the present me is destined to be invincible; the future me becomes a variable.

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

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, Ancient, and Desolate Ancient eras. Perhaps it had dealings with Emperor Zun back then.

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

The Desolate Tower said leisurely, almost making Ye Fan burst into tears. How many years has it been? How many big figures has 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 will 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 Dao primitive, incomparably simple aura, unclear, indescribable, perfect, supreme, and infinite..."

Everyone was solemn. Even the Emperors were sighing. Worthy of being the Huang Tiandi Huang, single-minded, he has always been an immortal family whose eyes have nothing but the Dao.

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

Only Lin Xian had a strange expression, secretly spitting in his heart: What kind of shitty simple aura? It's clearly the stupidity and clarity of someone who has never been to school after drinking beast milk.

And our President Ye left the ivory tower of university many years ago, climbed up by opening a company, drove the 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. 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 Immortal Platform shone. The Empress, across billions of mountains and rivers, sighed softly, meaningful. If Ye Fan is not the reincarnation of Emperor Zun, then could it be the reincarnation of her brother?

Emperor Zun is not a Holy Body, but the Empress's brother is a Holy Body.

"Ask the world, is there reincarnation?"

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

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

The Desolate Tower cannot answer this question. Amitabha says there is, but he cannot convince the world.

Buddhism firmly believes that the next life is not false and can be waited for. In the long river of time, there will always be two similar flowers. One flower withers, and one flower blooms. The most beautiful brilliance is in the future.

This is one of the bases for the Empress to suspect that Ye Fan is the reincarnation of her brother.

But even the Buddhist Great Emperor is on the road and has not carried it through. If there is a true reincarnation, wouldn't the next life be a scam?

"There is!"

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

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

"Those who die in body can be saved by reincarnation; those whose souls are destroyed can be recast by faith; those whose thoughts are not scattered can be reflected and reappeared!"

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

"Where is the thought?" The aura in 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 for one time, they had no regrets in their hearts!

"Generation after generation... cough, cough, said the wrong lines. There is no generation, only one person."

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

Suddenly, the white paper boat in Lin Xian's hand made a resentful sound like crying: "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 all the Kings tremble. Existing in the red dust, not for becoming an Immortal, she chose a path that the world could not understand.

The Empress was silent. The Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land returned to peace. Only Little Nan Nan's big eyes were pure. She stretched out her little hand, grabbed the white paper boat, and said cutely: "The paper boat brother folded for Nan Nan, why is it here."

"Paper of longing for brother, longing like a spring, longing for the holy boat, never forgetting..." Lin Xian muttered in his heart, but in the end, he didn't read it out. He was afraid of dying.

"This paper boat..."

The Desolate Tower deity gasped. Why is it getting stranger today? Everything he sees is familiar. He touched the paper boat, sensed that ray of brilliance, and suddenly the tower body trembled, muttering: "I, I seem to have remembered something. I am not complete."

Nine-colored immortal light evolved into chaos energy, but it did not rush to the sky; instead, it stood above time and space, like a coordinate, like a lighthouse, seemingly welcoming something.

"Is he waiting for the Huang Tiandi Huang?" the Divine Emperor asked solemnly, growing increasingly alarmed. A broken tower was already an Immortal Artifact; if it were complete and flawless, what level would it have ascended to? Could it truly suppress and kill an Immortal?

The moment the lighthouse lit up, in the endless long 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 stronger a person is, the more they fear the long river of time. Even Immortal Dao cultivators cannot reverse it.

The Desolate Tower was like a dream, as if running through the long river of time, muttering: "I am the cornerstone, I am also a 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 truly an immortal tower at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

A flower of Emperor fire combined with the Willow Deity to forge a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and the remaining bones fused with the tower to achieve a Quasi-Emperor weapon.

This is the last legacy left to the world by the Footprint Emperor who forged the dam of the Boundary Sea, shedding 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 rituals of the High Priest of the Stone Village came to his mind. His voice was ancient, like the Dao sound of the Chaotic Ancient era, running through the long river of time, with incomparably far-reaching influence.
