Chapter 431

~16 min read 3,023 words

The more powerful a person is, the more they can sense little Little Nannan's extraordinary nature. In the eyes of sages, little Little Nannan is the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit wandering in the red dust, seemingly confirming the theory of reincarnation.

But in the eyes of the Supremes, little Little Nannan's achievements are astonishing and heaven-defying, subverting all cognition from ancient times to the present!

The Ruthless Emperor, who has existed in the red dust for over two hundred thousand years, is simply slapping the faces of the other Life Forbidden Zones, denying the paths that many Supremes have struggled to pursue.

What is an Immortal? What is the Immortal Road? Throughout the ages, there has been no consensus.

Civilization is fractured, ancient history is severed, and the cultivation system is full of fog. Successive Heavenly Venerates, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors have all been exploring, pioneering their own paths to immortality, verifying their own concepts of longevity, and groping in the darkness as forerunners.

At this very moment, the Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor is like someone who has been walking with his head down for a million years; he inadvertently looks up, only to find that the firmament is not a pitch-black night. The world has brightened; there is a pillar of light rushing into the heavens, illuminating the ages and pointing out the path ahead.

"Power that has never been self-slashed, a perfect Dao Fruit. Was our pursuit of the Immortal Road wrong?"

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor muttered to himself, his eyes full of solemnity. His Dao heart had been interrogated and was wavering.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Little Little Nannan asked curiously, her big eyes watery and clear as gems.

"Uncle Huo Qilin is thinking about life, don't disturb him."

Ye Fan hurriedly picked up little Little Nannan, placed her on his shoulder, and then protected Holy Master Lin in front of him, barely feeling a shred of security.

Facing a Supreme head-on, that feeling is too terrible. Unless one is a Great Completion Saint Body, there is no room for any retaliation.

In an instant, Ye Fan missed the corpse of the Great Completion Saint Body within the Saint Cliff immensely.

"It cannot be called right or wrong, it is just that the paths are different."

Lin Xian spoke up: "If one must say who is wrong, then it is this world that is wrong. Heaven and Earth are damaged, and people are also flawed. Perfection must be destroyed, and Immortals do not exist in the world."

"The path our Heavenly Court wants to take is to fly as an Immortal in the red dust during an impossible era. The senior's path is to pursue eternal life. The Dao Fruits sought are different, and the scenery verified is naturally different."

"Heaven and Earth are damaged, people are flawed, perfection must be destroyed, Immortals do not exist in the world... Can Immortality and longevity be discussed separately?" The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor's figure trembled. He re-examined Lin Xian, his eyes shining with divine light, illuminating his Primordial Spirit, seemingly wanting to see through his origin and find his background.

One is a Great Emperor's Dao Fruit, the other is the reincarnation of the Emperor. What kind of old monster from what age is Holy Master Lin, who can mingle between these two people?

Previously, the Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor only regarded Lin Xian as a spokesperson for the Heavenly Court; now it seems he had misjudged him.

"Some say that a True Immortal is immortal, and that is an Immortal. Others say that a True Immortal is not necessarily immortal, and the legendary Immortal King is the truly indestructible one."

"There are even legends that the Emperor among Immortals is the truly undying one."

"The Dao is boundless; the end of the Immortal Road cannot be fathomed."

Lin Xian smiled slightly: "But if we are to discuss the Dao of longevity alone, in the Immortal Ancient Era, when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were flawless, an Immortal Second-tier expert could ascend to the Immortal Domain and be immortal. In that world, a Saint was even called indestructible through ten thousand tribulations."

"It is not that the Supremes are not strong enough, but that the Supremes were born in the wrong era."

If one compares the Great Universe to a person, the Immortal Ancient Era was a healthy person with sound limbs, the Chaotic Ancient Era was a disabled person in a wheelchair, and the current Great Universe is a sub-healthy person who has just finished surgery. The limbs have been mended, but having just recovered from a serious illness, it lacks vitality and can barely support itself, so where would there be extra Immortal Qi for the Supremes?

In the end, it is because the universe's origin is insufficient and cannot support so many children. The children in the house are facing starvation, so they think about jumping ship to another family to be a child.

But the masters of the Immortal Domain are high and mighty, and the world barriers have long since solidified. Wanting to obtain a household registration for the Immortal Domain is simply wishful thinking. Over three eras, not a single person has succeeded.

But even so, the Supremes still have not given up trying to find a way to smuggle into the Immortal Domain and obtain Immortal status. This is also the recognized path of ascension for Supremes throughout the ages.

Only at this moment, the Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor looked back and suddenly realized that his old home had actually been wealthy before; it wasn't just bragging.

In his life, he had read countless ancient books, seeking clues about longevity. Most of them were descriptions of longevity methods from the Mythological Era, with a few strokes concerning the Chaotic Ancient Era. As for the Immortal Ancient, only a concept remained, said to be an age when Immortals existed in the world.

The two words "Immortal Ancient" had long been buried in the depths of the Huo Qilin Emperor's memory, treated as a beautiful hope of his predecessors.

Now that it was mentioned again by Lin Xian, even the Ancient Emperor was somewhat shocked. Could it be that the Immortal Ancient Era really existed?!

"Father!"

The movement of the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, the Huo Qilin Staff, completely shocked everyone in the Fire Huo Qilin Cave. Huo Huo Qilin took the lead and rushed into this Immortal Mirror. Looking at that blue-haired, burly middle-aged man, tears glistened in the corners of his eyes. He couldn't help but roar, unable to believe that what he saw before him was real, fearing it was a dream.

"It is me." The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor looked back at Huo Huo Qilin, who had already slashed his Dao, nodded with gratification, and then scolded: "You are the child of a Primordial Emperor, you should not have tears, only blood. You must have an invincible belief, firmly believing that you are stronger than me!"

"What does it matter if it is the reincarnation of the Emperor? You must firmly believe that you are the strongest, just because you are my, the Huo Qilin Emperor's, son. You are my hope. In this life, you must prove your Dao and become an Immortal."

"One failure is nothing. I also encountered great enemies back then and eventually defeated them. A true powerhouse must walk to the end."

"I understand, Father Emperor!" Huo Huo Qilin nodded tremblingly, took a deep breath, and looked toward Ye Fan, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Good, very spirited."

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor praised, then his eyes burst with divine light, turning into a Heavenly Blade that slashed out, splitting a certain Order Divine Chain on Huo Huo Qilin's body. In the dark, it was as if a sealed shackle had been opened.

A vast, ancient Huo Qilin mark was branded onto Huo Qilin's body. This was the inheritance of the Huo Qilin clan through the ages, which should have been opened after Huo Huo Qilin returned to the ancestral star, but now it was given to him in advance.

In an instant, Huo Huo Qilin's aura was heaven-shaking, his eyes deep, and a earth-shaking Great Change occurred. His essence, energy, and spirit underwent a mysterious sublimation.

"Damn, hacking!"

Ye Fan complained, wanting to report this right now. This was naked cheating behavior; the Huo Huo Qilin from just a moment ago was definitely not this strong.

This time it was as if he had broken a genetic lock; his combat power skyrocketed!

"You cannot only allow the Empress to set fires, but not allow the Ancient Emperor to light lamps."

Lin Xian coughed and said: "Go on, Emperor Ye, I think highly of you. Fight all the Ancient Emperor's sons and walk your own invincible path."

Is having an Ancient Emperor father amazing? Facts proved that it was indeed very amazing.

You have a Heavenly Emperor sister, I have an Ancient Emperor father; everyone has a bright future.

"Go, my child, go and experience your battle."

"I and Daoist Friend Lin will wait here for your return."

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor smiled slightly, pointed his hand, tore open the void, and sent Ye Fan and Huo Qilin into a certain Primordial battlefield. That was a chaotic pure land where the Huo Qilin clan used to hone their own geniuses.

"Lin... Daoist Friend?!"

The Great Saint Yan Huo Qilin, who had rushed over in a hurry, couldn't quite believe his ears. He looked toward the figure in green robes beneath the Dao cliff, curiosity and a trace of deep fear flowing in his eyes.

What kind of person could be a Daoist friend of an Ancient Emperor? At the very least, they should be a Quasi-Emperor, or even more; the greater probability is a Heavenly Venerate or Great Emperor of the same level!

Could it be that Holy Master Lin is not a person of the current age, but a former Supreme who has returned from Nirvana?

"Go and brew a cup of tea."

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor spoke indifferently, took out a purple tea canister, and threw it over. Inside was the fragrance of Enlightenment Tea, sealed by Divine Source; it was old tea from the Primordial Era.

"I will strictly follow your decree!"

Great Saint Yan Huo Qilin bowed, holding the purple tea canister, and retreated like a servant. Then he dispersed the other Saints of the Huo Qilin clan and guarded the door himself, forbidding idle people from disturbing the Ancient Emperor's meeting.

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor continued the previous topic and asked solemnly: "What kind of age was the Immortal Ancient Era? Why did the universe that could once produce Immortals become what it is today?"

"Before the Mythological Era was the Chaotic Ancient, and before the Chaotic Ancient was the Immortal Ancient, but in the end, they were all the same, all destroyed and replaced by a new era."

"The immortal Immortals died in battle and turned into stalks of Undying Medicine."

"What the Heavenly Court seeks is to transcend the ages and be immortal in the red dust. Even if this Great Universe is shattered again one day and all things become ruins, one can still exist alone."

"As for longevity, there are only two or three spots for the Immortal Domain..."

Lin Xian talked eloquently, said a lot to the Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor, and drew one big pie after another.

The Heavenly Court is currently refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. If the Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor helps, even if there is no Immortal Pill in the future, he will help the Huo Qilin Emperor fight for a spot on the Immortal Road.

"Spots for the Immortal Domain, such precious things, the Supremes of the Heavenly Court must need them too."

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously. Previously he had promised the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, but now even the Immortal Pill was gone, leaving only one spot.

It wouldn't be that when the Immortal Road opens, there won't even be a single spot.

"A true Heavenly Emperor does not need the Immortal Road; he himself is an Immortal. Others can be sealed with Divine Source."

"As for the spots for the Immortal Domain."

Lin Xian hummed and said proudly: "In the heavens and myriad worlds, there is more than one Immortal Domain."

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor looked at little Little Nannan thoughtfully, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was suddenly stunned. This world exceeded his imagination, and he blurted out: "There are other Immortal Domains? The Immortal Domain is not unique?!"

Could it be that the Heavenly Court also mastered paths to other Immortal Domains?

Or was it that different Immortal Roads lead to different Immortal Domains?

"Naturally, there is more than one Immortal Domain." Lin Xian pointed to the ground beneath his feet and smiled: "In the Immortal Ancient Era, our universe also had Immortals. From the perspective of other small worlds, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were also once an Immortal Domain."

"Living in the Immortal Domain without knowing it." The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor suddenly had a flash of inspiration, had a sudden thought, and muttered: "If one could restore the environment of the past, this is an unprecedented path..."

Venturing on the Immortal Road sounds good, but in reality, it is smuggling into the Immortal Domain, walking alone to other worlds to survive, abandoning one's own race, and leaving behind one's own bloodline.

If other Supremes could endure this price, the Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor had children. Now that he had re-emerged and reconnected with the red dust, he couldn't bear it and actually started thinking about other paths.

Lin Xian looked sideways. What, you also want to evolve an Immortal Domain? Another member of the Green Emperor faction.

What is wrong with this world? Everyone wants to be a Chaotic Green Lotus.

"There is, there is. This path, my Heavenly Court is also trying; it is also a method of longevity." Lin Xian coughed and said: "I will introduce the Green Emperor to the Huo Qilin Emperor later."

"The Green Emperor is evolving an Immortal Domain?!"

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor was shocked again. He didn't expect the Heavenly Court to play such a big game, walking ahead of everyone else. While the Supremes were still attacking the Immortal Domain, they were building and opening up a new Immortal Domain.

No wonder there had been no news of the Green Emperor for so many years; he was actually trying such a Great Dao.

"I have said so much to the Ancient Emperor and revealed many Immortal secrets of the Heavenly Court."

Lin Xian coughed and probed: "Shouldn't the Ancient Emperor also be frank with me?"

"Frank with each other." The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor pondered: "Daoist Friend Lin, what does this mean?"

"What does it mean?" Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, suddenly smiled, and then lowered his voice to ask: "In the Ancient Mine of Beginning, is it really just you who came out?"

It was agreed that there was only one Ancient Blood Phoenix Emperor, but then a Huo Qilin Emperor popped out. There is one, there is two, there is three; don't let any more come out.

"Go and see, and you will know."

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor went straight to the point. As a former Ancient Emperor, he had an overarching aura; when facing problems, he was always indomitable. Rather than guessing here, it is better to directly lift the curtain and see the truth.

"That works too."

Lin Xian calculated in his heart: if an Ancient Emperor came out, he had Amitabha, the Huo Qilin Emperor, and the Blood Phoenix Emperor on his side, and could still pull out a Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor. The situation would not get out of control.

"Let's go to the Golden Clan first."

After the two discussed, they walked toward the Golden Cave, because the Ancient Golden Emperor was the most suspicious. Previously in the Ancient Mine of Beginning, he had given the Immortal materials too readily.

One-third of the auxiliary materials, the collection of an Ancient Emperor for tens of thousands of years, given just like that—even if Lin Xian held the Golden Ancient Emperor's order, it was unreasonable.

The Golden Cave was a pure land with brilliant Immortal light. The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor brought Lin Xian, and before they even got close, a majestic voice sounded.

A golden Immortal light fell, turning into a towering man, brilliant as if cast from gold; it was the Ancient Golden Emperor.

"Old Huo Qilin, you've come out too."

The Ancient Golden Emperor narrowed his eyes, surveying the void, seemingly looking for something.

"Too?" The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor quickly captured the point.

"The Heavenly Court has the Green Emperor, and its foundation is deep. Golden Daoist Friend felt that he was alone and weak, so he invited me to come out together."

Chaotic Qi swirled, and the Daoist Kunpeng Supreme also manifested. It was not a Dao body, but his true body that had emerged.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

The Ancient Huo Qilin Emperor sighed: "No wonder no one discovered anything unusual about the Dao body I left in the Ancient Mine of Beginning. It turns out you all came out, and those left in the Ancient Mine must all be Dao bodies."

"Huo Qilin, Daoist Kunpeng, Golden..."

Lin Xian looked at these Ancient Emperors and only felt that there was not a single honest person in the forbidden zones. Just at this moment, a purple jade talisman in his bosom suddenly lit up; it was a message from the Ten Thousand Dragon Girl.

[My father has returned to the Chaotic Dragon Nest]

"Alright, the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor has also come out." Lin Xian couldn't help but twitch his mouth, wishing he could look up to the sky and sigh.

This group of old foxes, they can really act!
