Chapter 441

The more powerful a person is, the more they can sense Little Nan Nan's extraordinariness. In the eyes of a Sage, Little Nan Nan is the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit walking in the mortal world, seemingly confirming the theory of reincarnation.

However, in the eyes of the Supremes, Little Nan Nan's achievements are astonishing and heaven-defying, overturning all cognition from ancient times to the present!

The Ruthless Great Emperor, who has existed in the mortal world for over two hundred thousand years, is simply slapping the faces of the other life forbidden zones, negating the paths that many Supremes have struggled to pursue.

What is an Immortal? What is the Road to Immortality? Throughout the ages, there has been no definitive conclusion.

Civilization has fractured, ancient history has been cut off, and the cultivation system is full of mist. Successive Heavenly Venerables, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors have all been exploring, pioneering their own Roads to Immortality, verifying their own concepts of longevity, and groping in the darkness; they are the forerunners.

At this very moment, the Ancient Qilin Emperor is like a person 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. A pillar of light shoots into the sky, 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 Road to Immortality wrong?"

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

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Little Nan Nan asked curiously, her big eyes watery, as clear as gemstones.

"Qilin Uncle is contemplating life; don't disturb him."

Ye Fan hurriedly picked up Little Nan Nan, placed her on his shoulder, and then shielded Holy Lord Lin in front of him, only then feeling a glimmer of safety.

Facing a Supreme head-on, that feeling is too terrible. Unless one's Holy Body is perfected, there is no room for retaliation.

In an instant, Ye Fan missed the corpse of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body within the Holy 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 leads to destruction, and Immortals do not exist in the world."

"The path our Heavenly Court wants to take is to ascend to immortality in the mortal world during an impossible era. The path of the seniors 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 leads to destruction, Immortals do not exist in the world... Can Immortality and eternal life be discussed separately?" The Ancient Qilin Emperor's figure trembled. He re-examined Lin Xian, divine light shining in his eyes, illuminating the Primordial Spirit, seemingly wanting to see through the origin and find his background.

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

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

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

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

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

Lin Xian smiled slightly: "But if we are to discuss the Dao of eternal life alone, in the Immortal Ancient Era, when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were flawless, a Second Immortal Realm expert could ascend to the Immortal Domain and be eternally young. In that world, a Sage 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 the Great Universe is compared 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 restored, but the person is recovering from a major illness, lacking vitality, and even struggling to support themselves—where would there be extra Immortal Qi to provide for the Supremes?

In the final analysis, the universe's origin is insufficient and cannot support so many children. When the children in the family are facing starvation, they think about changing jobs to become a child in another family.

But the masters of the Immortal Domain are high and mighty, and the world barrier has 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.

Yet even so, the Supremes have still not given up on trying to find a way, smuggling themselves into the Immortal Domain to obtain Immortal household registration. This is also the recognized Road to Immortality for Supremes throughout the ages.

But at this moment, the Ancient 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 browsed countless ancient books, seeking clues about eternal life. Most of them were descriptions of the longevity methods of the Mythological Era, with a few strokes regarding the Chaotic Ancient Era. As for the Immortal Ancient Era, only a concept remained—it was said to be an age when Immortals existed in the world.

The two characters "Immortal Ancient" had long been buried in the depths of the 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 unusual movement of the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, the Qilin Staff, completely alarmed everyone in Fire Qilin Cave. Huo Qilin took the lead and rushed into this Immortal Mirror. Looking at that blue-haired, sturdy 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 Qilin Emperor looked back at Huo Qilin, who had already slashed his Dao, nodded with satisfaction, and then scolded: "You are the child of a Primordial Emperor; you should not have tears, only blood. You must have an invincible belief and firmly believe that you are stronger than me!"

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

"A single failure counts for nothing. I also encountered great enemies back then, but eventually defeated them. A true powerhouse must walk to the end."

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

"Good, very spirited."

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

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

In an instant, Huo Qilin's aura was shocking, his eyes deep, and a heaven-turning, earth-shattering change occurred. His essence, energy, and spirit underwent a mysterious sublimation.

"Holy crap, hacking!"

Ye Fan complained. At this moment, he really wanted to report this; this was naked cheating. Huo Qilin definitely wasn't this strong just a moment ago.

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

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

Lin Xian coughed: "Go on, Emperor Ye Zun. I have high hopes for you. Fight all the Ancient Emperor's sons and walk your own invincible path."

Is having an Ancient Emperor father amazing? Facts prove that it is indeed very amazing.

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

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

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

The Ancient Qilin Emperor smiled slightly, pointed casually, tore open the void, and sent Ye Fan and Huo Qilin into a certain Primordial Battlefield. That was the Chaos Pure Land where the Qilin race used to hone their own heaven-gifted talents.

"Lin... Fellow Daoist?!"

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

What kind of person could be a fellow Daoist of an Ancient Emperor? At the very least, they should be a Quasi-Emperor, or even more. The greater probability is that they are a peer-level Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun or Great Emperor!

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

"Go and brew a cup of tea."

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

"I will strictly follow your decree!"

Great Sage Yan Qilin bowed, holding the purple tea canister, and retreated like a servant. Then he dispersed the other Sages of the Qilin race and personally guarded the entrance, forbidding idle people from disturbing the Ancient Emperor's meeting.

The Ancient Qilin Emperor continued the previous topic and asked solemnly: "What kind of age was the Immortal Ancient Era, exactly? Why did a 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 eternally immortal Immortals died in battle and turned into stalks of Undying Medicine."

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

"As for eternal life, there are only two or three household registrations for the Immortal Domain..."

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

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

"A spot in the Immortal Domain—such a precious thing, the Supremes of the Heavenly Court must need it too."

The Ancient Qilin Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously. Previously, he had promised a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill; now, there wasn't even an Immortal Pill left, just a single spot.

What if, when the Road to Immortality opens, there isn't even a single spot?

"A true Huang Tiandi does not need the Road to Immortality; he is an Immortal himself. The others can be sealed with Divine Source."

"As for the Immortal Domain spot."

Lin Xian hummed and said proudly: "In the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, there is more than one Immortal Domain."

The Ancient Qilin Emperor looked at Little Nan Nan, lost in thought, 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 is it that different Roads to Immortality 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. In the eyes of other small worlds, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were also once an Immortal Domain."

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

Venturing on the Road to Immortality sounds good, but in reality, it is smuggling into the Immortal Domain, walking alone to another world to seek survival, abandoning one's own race, and leaving behind one's own bloodline.

If other Supremes could endure this price, the Ancient Qilin Emperor has children. Now that he has re-emerged and reconnected with the mortal world, he couldn't bear it in his heart and actually began to ponder other paths.

Lin Xian looked sideways. What, you want to evolve an Immortal Domain too? Another one from the Green Emperor's faction.

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

"There is, there is. This path is also being attempted by our Heavenly Court; it is also a method of eternal life." Lin Xian coughed: "I'll introduce the Green Emperor to the Qilin Emperor later."

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

The Ancient 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 one.

No wonder there hasn't been any news of the Green Emperor for so many years; he's actually attempting such a Great Dao.

"I've 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 and honest with me?"

"Frank and honest." The Ancient Qilin Emperor pondered: "Fellow Daoist 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 Absolute Beginning, are you really the only one who came out?"

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

"Go and see, and you'll know."

The Ancient Qilin Emperor got straight to the point. As a former Ancient Emperor, he had a world-conquering aura. When facing problems, he was always straightforward. Rather than guessing here, it was better to pull back 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 Qilin Emperor, and the Blood Phoenix Emperor on his side, and could pull out another Ancient Long Huang. The situation wouldn't spiral out of control.

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

After the two discussed it, they headed toward the Golden Cave, because the Ancient Golden Emperor was the most suspicious. Previously, in the Ancient Mine of Absolute Beginning, he had been too generous with the Immortal materials.

One-third of the auxiliary materials—an Ancient Emperor's collection of tens of thousands of years given away just like that. Even if Lin Xian held the Golden Ancient Emperor's command token, it wasn't reasonable.

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

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

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

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

"Too?" The Ancient Qilin Emperor quickly grasped the point.

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

Chaotic Qi swirled, and the Kunpeng Supreme also manifested. It wasn't a Dao body, but his true self coming out into the world.

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

The Ancient Qilin Emperor sighed: "No wonder no one noticed anything unusual about the Dao body I left in the Ancient Mine of Absolute Beginning. So you all came out, and what was left in the Ancient Mine must have been Dao bodies."

"Qilin, Kunpeng, Golden..."

Lin Xian looked at these Ancient Emperors and felt that there wasn't a single honest person in the forbidden zones. Just then, a purple jade talisman in his bosom suddenly lit up; it was a message from the Wan Longnv's token.

【My father has returned to the Chaotic Dragon Nest】

"Fine, the Ancient Long Huang has come out too." Lin Xian couldn't help but twitch his mouth, wishing he could look up and sigh.

This group of old foxes is really good at acting!
