Chapter 301: The Supreme One Emerges, the Fish Takes the Bait

"The Zhetian World is my property now, you cannot act recklessly, do you understand?"

"If you act recklessly, I will throw you back into my Wallet again!"

"Understand?"

The head of the God King of God Kings did not respond; after calling out a few times, it gradually quieted down, and a pair of eyes closed once more.

Zhang Xuan watched this and let out a sigh of relief, then, looking at the constantly expanding boundaries of the Small World, a look of joy could not help but appear on his face.

But at the same time, a look of difficulty also appeared on his face.

"Meng Qi has helped me once again, so what reward should I give him now? He doesn't seem to lack anything, and there isn't much I can give him right now; this is truly troublesome!"

Scratching his head in annoyance, Zhang Xuan very much wanted to provide a reward, but based on his current situation, he truly could not; he had nothing in his hands.

The Small World grew increasingly vast, and four Killing Swords hovered in the void; they could no longer even be called just Killing Swords, they could be termed the Zhu Xian Four Swords.

Zhang Xuan rested his chin in his hand with delight, watching all of this, while simultaneously feeling troubled.

"My Wallet is getting fuller and fuller, but the things I owe are also piling up; how am I supposed to pay them back later?"

"Forget it, if I can't pay it back, I won't pay it back for now. Once I sweep through the Forbidden Zones later, at worst I'll just find some local specialties from the Forbidden Zones to give them."

Zhang Xuan exhaled lightly, deciding not to continue worrying about this aspect.

Yet, after grumbling to himself for a moment, his expression suddenly turned stern.

"There is movement in the Forbidden Zone; someone has come out of the Taichu Ancient Mine."

The voice of the Great Completion Saint Body sounded in Zhang Xuan's ear, causing Zhang Xuan to immediately cast aside all his lack of seriousness.

"How many people have come out, one or two?"

Zhang Xuan asked immediately, and the voice of the Great Completion Saint Body remained calm and steady.

"I have only discovered one for now; if you look up, you will see it, the other party has made no attempt to conceal themselves..."

Zhang Xuan looked up, and instantly understood the meaning of the Great Completion Saint Body's words.

In the region where the Taichu Ancient Mine was located, a beam of spiritual light as thick as a mountain surged into the sky, plunging into the starry expanse of the Universe, and endless star essence and Heaven and Earth Essence poured into that area.

A supreme figure was there, beginning to inhale and exhale Heaven and Earth Essence without reservation, adjusting their own state to restore themselves to their absolute peak.

When that kind of radiance and that kind of bearing appeared, the entire Beidou trembled.

Many figures on the periphery of the Huanggu Jinqu left in the shortest possible time; apart from those with little lifespan left, the younger figures vanished at a rapid speed.

No one wanted to be targeted by that terrifying existence; the secrets within the Forbidden Zones were no longer secrets today.

Everyone knew that there were unimaginably great existences within the Forbidden Zones who would appear and stir up boundless turmoil.

"Great Emperor, where is the Great Emperor? Where is the Nine Netherworlds Emperor? The monsters in the Forbidden Zone are coming out!"

Someone screamed in terror, every cell in their body filled with unease.

At this moment, both the Ancient Race and the Human Race felt an unprecedented sense of unease.

Because that aura was too formidable, so tyrannical that it made everyone suffocate.

It was even more terrifying than the few Quasi-Emperors who had been watching from the periphery of the Huanggu Jinqu earlier; the aura alone made it impossible for anyone to harbor the slightest intention of resistance.

Many figures almost thought that another Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor had emerged.

"Apart from the contemporary Great Emperor, who can suppress a figure like this?"

"But where is the contemporary Great Emperor?"

The hearts of many figures were filled with unease and agitation.

That was the most panicked and uneasy of emotions.

"Great Emperor? Where is there any Great Emperor? Not long ago, the contemporary Great Emperor's Heavenly Heart Imprint nearly shattered; one would think that since someone has already moved against them, their state is likely very dire, perhaps even trapped in a dead end."

"It's over, we are all finished, there is no hope."

The entire world was in a state of panic, and many figures were in shock and terror.

Zhang Xuan was still relatively calm, even in a state of composure.

With the Small World further strengthened, his physical body, under such numerous blessings, had already exceeded common sense and far surpassed the imagination of many figures.

Even the Great Completion Saint Body could not quite see through it, yet he could see the scene inside at a single glance.

A Scepter flashing with endless blue light flew into that region of the world; it was a Supreme Imperial Weapon forged from Eternal Blue Gold.

A humanoid creature stood there, inhaling and exhaling Heaven and Earth Essence, the spiritual light above its head shooting straight into the heavens.

Terrifying power permeated every corner of the world, terrifying beyond compare.

That was the most terrifying existence in heaven and earth, unmatched by any.

That was also the most mysterious and most terrifying figure.

"Qilin Ancient Emperor, it really is him."

Zhang Xuan saw the truth at a glance; he did not feel uneasy, but rather somewhat excited.

He had been preparing more and more, yet no one had fallen into the trap he had set, which had made him somewhat restless; now that someone was finally descending, he was naturally joyful.

Brilliant light bloomed between heaven and earth; it was an Ancient Emperor reviving without regard for anything.

Moreover, the Qilin Ancient Emperor made no attempt to conceal himself; the lifeblood and vast magic power within his body were constantly condensing, directly engaging in Extreme Sublimation.

He either does nothing, or he takes it to the extreme.

He was the only figure among the many Forbidden Zones that Zhang Xuan knew of who had Slash One's Own Blade but had not stirred up Dark Turmoil; of course, the Wanlong Emperor also counted as one.

A figure like him Slash One's Own Blade not for any other reason, but to take a trip on the Immortal Path and see if there were Immortals in the world.

And now, the road to the Immortal Domain seemed to have provided an answer; that roar from before had shaken heaven and earth.

Countless figures felt terrified and uneasy, yet he felt excited.

That roar had been discussed by many Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors within the Forbidden Zones; they all believed that the strength and realm of the owner of that roar absolutely surpassed the level of a Great Emperor, very much resembling the Legend of an Immortal.

Since that was the case, then everything could be ended.

The ultimate goal he had been waiting for had arrived; although it did not match the time he had calculated for the opening of the Immortal Path, since a True Immortal had already appeared on the Immortal Path, he would go to meet them no matter what.

For him, this matter was not too difficult.

Other figures within the Forbidden Zones might fear death, but he did not.

He could also understand the views of others in the Forbidden Zones; the current situation of the world was unclear, the contemporary Great Emperor had been beaten to the point of near-death, and the Heavenly Heart Imprint was on the verge of collapse.

Furthermore, the Wanlong Emperor had appeared not long ago, yet only left behind a broken fragment of a weapon; the situation of the world was far too complex.

At such a time, they were unwilling to go out, at least not while the situation remained unclear, because going out could very likely lead to death.

They did not understand what had happened to this world, and perhaps some were even suspecting that the entire situation of the world was a trap laid by the Undying Emperor.

Perhaps he intended to disguise himself as an Immortal Path in this current era, and then take away many Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors in one fell swoop; the many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors plotted for Immortality, while the Undying Emperor plotted for their very selves.

Under such time and years, many people were prepared to sit and wait for a period, but the Qilin Ancient Emperor could not wait.

He did not have much time left.

"Since what I intend to do is to see the Immortal Path, and although the timing and location of the Immortal Path's appearance now are not right, the personnel inside already fit my goal, so let me go and try!"

Harboring such a goal, and carrying such a will.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor unhesitatingly raised his own power to the absolute peak, and even his Supreme Ancient Emperor weapon reached his hands.

Recovery could not be successful immediately; it required waiting for a period of time, as he had not truly adjusted himself to the absolute peak over the long years.

He did not intend to make many preparations, nor did he intend to leave any retreat, and he had already begun preparations for his own Extreme Sublimation from within.

Either succeed, or turn into the most brilliant stream of light on that Immortal Path; it has been like this throughout history, hasn't it?

Zhang Xuan glanced at the outside world and saw the situation clearly and thoroughly; looking at such a scene, he could not help but sigh inexplicably.

"Only catching one fish is a bit unsatisfactory!"

Although he felt some regret, he still gathered some of his spirit.

He even began to reflect on himself.

"Is it that my forgery wasn't fake enough? At least looking at it now, it's not realistic enough. Should I find someone to act out a scene?"

Finding someone to act certainly could not involve those who had already appeared.

Gai Jiuyou was excluded first; he was not suitable to act as the contemporary Great Emperor, and in the eyes of many, the contemporary Great Emperor was already heavily injured and dying, so it was not suitable for him to come out now; he could serve as a hidden trump card.

"Otherwise, should I let the Great Accomplishment Saint Body do it?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan shook his head directly.

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body charging into the Immortal Path would be a supreme tale if spread, but it did not quite fit the style of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.

After all, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body suffered in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land not for the sake of so-called Immortality, but to suppress the Darkness that might erupt during the process of charging the Immortal Path.

That was the truly terrifying point.

His lifelong purpose was for this.

If he suddenly jumped out to charge the Immortal Path, it would completely contradict his past persona, and instead look a bit like he was trying too hard.

If the Great Accomplishment Saint Body performed such a scene, the Ancient Emperors and Supremes in the Forbidden Zones would definitely not come out.

"Hmm, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body is not suitable; he can be firmly excluded."

Zhang Xuan firmly excluded the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, and then thought about which figures could cooperate with him in acting.

Those who had not reached the level of Supreme were completely unqualified, so whether it was Dongfang Taiyi or that old Quasi-Emperor of the Cai Family, there was no need to think about them; they could be directly abandoned.

There were not many figures to choose from in the entire Universe.

"Reaching the level of Supreme, and having an obsession with Immortality, and first of all, the Forbidden Zones must be excluded."

Mainly, except for the Qilin Ancient Emperor who was fished out, other figures were basically the cold version, and it was impossible to seek cooperation.

Therefore, there was no need to think too much about this aspect; it could be directly abandoned.

At least Zhang Xuan did not want to cooperate with the terrifying figures in the Forbidden Zones; if a slight mistake occurred while cooperating with them, then it would be the Six Forbidden Zones packing up and leaving overnight.

The entire Six Forbidden Zones might run away overnight, even moving away every inch of land.

"However, besides the Six Forbidden Zones, there are actually people on the entire Beidou who can cooperate."

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and also excluded the Ruthless Great Emperor; the Ruthless Great Emperor's obsession with Immortality was not very high, at least judging from the situation over many years, this was indeed the case.

Although he did not know how other Ancient Emperors and Supremes viewed it, the Ruthless Great Emperor's stance had been fully displayed throughout the ages, and the attraction was not very strong.

"If the Ruthless Great Emperor is excluded, then on the entire Beidou, among those with Great Emperor-level strength who also want to become Immortals, as it looks now, the one I can think of is the Amitabha Great Emperor in the Western Desert."

Amitabha Great Emperor was also a very unique one among many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors.

He attained the Dao and became an Emperor completely not by killing, but by crushing everything with strength; even after attaining the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor, he had never killed a single living creature; he was truly a kind person.

Moreover, after his death, figures like Shijiamouni walked out from the remaining demonic fetus, and a wisp of his Divine Sense seemed to have crossed endless years, reincarnating and imprinting itself on Hua Hua, the disciple of the future Ye Fan.

The moves he left behind were considered special among many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors, and even after endless years of his death, he still lived in the hearts of all living beings; now, the endless Faith Power in the Western Desert could condense into a Great Emperor.

He was one of the most unique figures in history, so unique that it was astonishing.

However, his outcome in the entire process of Covering the Sky was not good, and could even be considered the most tragic.

Following the normal rhythm, two hundred years later, when the Immortal Path opens.

The Faith Body of Amitabha Great Emperor, a figure with strength not inferior to the Great Emperor level, gathered all the believers in the entire West.

Even the firm believers of Buddhism in the entire Zhetian Great Universe were gathered by him in the Palm Buddha Kingdom, and then he wanted to ascend with the entire sect.

As a result, including Amitabha Great Emperor, hundreds of millions of believers died together on the Immortal Path.

He did not commit any slaughter during his lifetime, but after his death, he caused hundreds of millions of believers to die on the Immortal Path.

It could be said to be the most tragic and terrifying thing in the entire world.

"Hmm, if I let the Faith Body of Amitabha Great Emperor take action, disguising a scene of becoming an Immortal would also work."

"Hundreds of millions of Buddhist believers can ascend with the sect and become Immortals, but it is not in such an occasion."

"Anyway, no matter how the future chooses, as long as I am alive and I give this promise, it is possible for them to become Immortals."

"After all, my future goal is to raise the level of the Zhetian Great Universe to become a place not inferior to the Immortal Domain, or even to reverse-integrate the Immortal Domain."

"From this perspective, I will definitely fulfill the obsession in the heart of Amitabha Great Emperor."

"Under such circumstances, having him give me a hand first can be considered reasonable."

Zhang Xuan rested his chin in his hand, feeling that this matter could be maneuvered.

As for the fish just caught, there was no need for him to worry about it at all, right?

Gai Jiuyou and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body were both waiting within the Small World.

As long as this fish dared to take the bait and rush into the Immortal Path, Zhang Xuan would ensure he never returned.
