no matter how extraordinary one’s talent, after attaining the Great Emperor realm, there is no further direction to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Beings of the Life Forbidden Zones, once upon a time, were none other than peerless prodigies of their eras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held unwavering, incomprehensible devotion to their own Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, these Supreme Beings ultimately chose to sever themselves once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Severing oneself once was not merely about lowering one’s cultivation and discarding one’s Heavenly Heart Seal—it was, more crucially, a denial of everything one had steadfastly upheld, a spiritual wound to the very core of one’s Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why any Supreme Being who chose to sever themselves and retreat into the Life Forbidden Zones eventually descended into madness, willing to pay any price just to survive; each time a rumored Immortal Path opened, these once-peerless prodigies would unhesitatingly ignite brutal dark upheavals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had long abandoned all else, lost all former convictions; what remained within them was only the obsession with becoming Immortal and surviving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This collapse of Dao heart, this denial of one’s own steadfast path, was the true cruelty of severing oneself once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After countless others failed to forge new paths, the Zhetian Method became an unshakable mainstream belief across the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Emperor Zun had seen too many brilliant beings; within his own Ancient Heavenly Court, countless Heavenly Sovereigns and Ancient Emperors who had attained the Great Emperor realm once served him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with so many era-defining prodigies gathered together, none could find a path outside the Zhetian Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for technology, though it too could lead to Dao attainment, its difficulty far surpassed that of the Zhetian Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the entire Zhetian Era, only one being—Emperor Daoyan—had attained Dao through technology; not even a single disciple had dared to emulate him, illustrating just how difficult technological Dao attainment was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Emperor Daoyan had indeed attained Dao, his attainment was achieved through external means; strictly speaking, his path was a different kind of Dao attainment—but his power far exceeded all other alternative paths, rising above them to rival the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones and stand shoulder to shoulder with Great Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no matter how much wisdom and talent were pooled together, none of the legendary prodigies lost to the vast river of time could forge a path independent of the Zhetian Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Fu, even before formally entering the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, had already begun preparing to create his own Luotian Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emergence of the Luotian Method had drawn Emperor Zun’s attention from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of this suspected Emperor Zun, Luo Fu’s vigilance reached unprecedented heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Zhetian Method cultivators surrounding him, who had been incited and ordered by the Life Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings to attack him, had been downgraded in importance within Luo Fu’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this did not mean Luo Fu had become so arrogant as to ignore these Zhetian cultivators entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zhetian universe, where power resides solely within the self, mob tactics are meaningless—true masters can crush countless weaker cultivators with a single slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the threat Luo Fu now faced was far more than simple mob tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These attackers had come fully prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the support provided by the Life Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings, nearly every one of these Zhetian cultivators possessed magic treasures far exceeding their own cultivation level and realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Zhetian Era, the power of magic treasures could never be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Divine Emperor’s weapon, when its spirit awakens, could momentarily hold off a Forbidden Zone Supreme Being—such weapons were forged by Great Emperors themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Golden Age opened, when Supreme Beings sealed themselves in the Life Forbidden Zones awaiting the Immortal Path, and when Great Emperors, Semi-Emperors, and alternative Dao attainments no longer existed, Divine Emperor’s weapons stood at the pinnacle of power in the Zhetian universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, though these attackers could not wield Divine Emperor’s weapons, the magic treasures they held were still formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion near the Northern Region had begun drawing attention from Sacred Sects, Noble Families, and other Great Emperor lineages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo Fu, the primary target, still had to remain wary of the mysterious presence suspected to be Emperor Zun, hidden somewhere unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these Zhetian cultivators had ambushed Luo Fu and struck first,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>strangely, their attacks and Luo Fu’s response seemed to exist on entirely separate timelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu remained calm, composed, and effortless; from behind him, a colossal tree sprouted, its twelve branches resembling twelve independent universes, each holding the power to pierce heaven and earth, encompassing all existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree appeared, radiant light instantly surged outward from Luo Fu, meeting the incoming Zhetian cultivators in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though one side reacted swiftly and the other seemed caught off guard, Luo Fu’s Nine Heavens Treasure Tree struck first—its radiant aura swept over the ambushers, who were horrified to find that every technique, spell, and weapon they wielded vanished in an instant before Luo Fu’s dazzling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was divine arts, spells, or magic treasures and weapons, the moment they were touched by the glow of Luo Fu’s twelve-branched strange divine tree, they vanished as if swallowed by an unfathomable, mysterious realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu’s Nine Heavens Treasure Tree was crafted to support his own Dao, destined to become his ultimate Dao attainment treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even now, it remained merely an empty framework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But through Luo Fu’s sharing, it had become a bridge—a link between Luo Fu and the power of the Twelve Heavenly Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power Luo Fu shared needed to be localized, but the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree itself was fundamentally alien to the Dao and principles of the Zhetian universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power might be suppressed when manifesting direct destructive force, as it diverged from the Zhetian Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a defensive tool, the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree was invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Great Emperor might not be able to break through its mysterious light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not because a Great Emperor truly could not shatter the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree’s light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, on the level of Dao and principle, even a Great Emperor—or a True Immortal—could not surpass Luo Fu’s Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the many Luo Fus in the sharing space, despite enhancing the Zhetian Luo Fu in various ways, could not surpass the Zhetian universe itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these were twelve distinct Heavenly Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of their Dao and principles could, in theory, achieve the Great Emperor realm of one Dao suppressing all others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined, even though Luo Fu now stood only at the fourth layer of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm—a Saint—his Dao and methods were beyond the reach of any Great Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this applied only to clashes of Dao and principle; if one relied purely on brute force, even a Great Emperor, an alternative Dao attainer, a Grand Saint, or even a Saint King could not be stopped by the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree’s light alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the Zhetian cultivators present, though many wielded magic treasures surpassing the fourth layer of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, were powerless against Luo Fu, a Saint, in an era where Supreme Beings were absent and even ancient monsters lay dormant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single magic treasure could not shake Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their every attack instantly erased by the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree’s light,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Zhetian cultivators froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu’s Nine Heavens Treasure Tree light was simply too cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on the Dao and principles of the twelve Heavenly Realms, no one could pierce this defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Fu now seemingly invincible,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a sudden, sharp crack rang out, catching Luo Fu off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visible to the naked eye, the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, which had grown into a towering ancient tree behind Luo Fu, shattered like a mirror, its fragments scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu’s expression instantly turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Heavens Treasure Tree was still only a half-finished artifact; it had not yet been fully refined into a heart-soul unified Dao attainment treasure, or else the mere explosion of the treasure would have inflicted severe backlash upon Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more crucially, Luo Fu had sensed that the force shattering his Nine Heavens Treasure Tree did not come from these disorganized Zhetian cultivators—it came from the Dao of the universe itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this end-dynasty era of the Zhetian world, there was no fully self-aware Heavenly Dao consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only explanation was that an immensely powerful being—capable, in theory, of manipulating the entire Heavenly Dao—had subtly struck at Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had aided the Zhetian cultivators in breaking through the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree’s light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No Zhetian cultivator, not even a Great Emperor, could achieve this; to wield the Heavenly Dao to such a degree, one must have truly entered the Immortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire universe, only a handful had entered the Immortal realm: the beginningless Great Emperor and the Immortal Emperor trapped in the strange space, and the mortal Immortal from the foreign realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Ferocious Great Emperor in the Zhetian universe remained in the process of transforming into a mortal Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eliminating all those who had the ability but no opportunity—or the opportunity but no motive—the sole culprit was immediately pinpointed by Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Emperor Zun had now made up his mind to test Luo Fu’s depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having identified the true attacker, Luo Fu helplessly realized he had no way to counter Emperor Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Zun had founded the Heavenly Court in the Mythic Era and had already lived a second life during that time; at its peak, the Ancient Heavenly Court gathered countless Great Emperors, Heavenly Sovereigns, and Ancient Emperors who once served him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this day, no one knew how many times Emperor Zun had transformed in the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from his grand scheme to assimilate the entire universe into his own treasure, it was clear that even if he was not truly invincible, he was not far from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: if Emperor Zun were truly invincible, he could have simply forced his will, ignoring all Supreme Beings, and turned the entire universe into his treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his earlier failure came from the betrayal of the Immortal Emperor and the resistance of countless Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings, forcing him to retreat from the open into the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Emperor Zun had not emerged openly, it meant the current universe contained something he feared—yet on the path to becoming a mortal Immortal, Emperor Zun, though not the farthest along, was certainly among the closest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an ancient, hidden entity, concealed in the universe for eons, was far beyond the reach of Luo Fu, a mere Luotian Method Saint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, being unable to directly confront Emperor Zun did not mean Luo Fu could only endure passively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu’s current predicament was that he was in a state of “enemy hidden, self exposed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Luo Fu himself, few in the entire universe likely even knew Emperor Zun still lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these conditions, any subtle move Emperor Zun made left Luo Fu with only defensive options and no means to retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he could not lock onto Emperor Zun as an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the state of “enemy hidden, self exposed” could be reversed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, if the Immortal Emperor had not been trapped by the Beginningless Great Emperor in the strange space, then the moment Luo Fu exposed Emperor Zun’s existence, the first to lose composure would be the Immortal Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the key spark that ignited the joint attack by the Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings against Emperor Zun had been the Immortal Emperor’s betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even without the Immortal Emperor, exposing Emperor Zun would still have consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not forget: among the Supreme Beings now sealed in the Life Forbidden Zones, some had personally participated in the ancient assault on Emperor Zun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these Supreme Beings learned of Emperor Zun’s existence, chaos would erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Emperor Zun, the founder of the Ancient Heavenly Court, was enough to unsettle many minds simply by still being alive—especially since he had never severed himself once, nor retreated into the Life Forbidden Zones; many did not even know he existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proved one thing: Emperor Zun was unlike the self-severed Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings—he did not need to devour the life essence of all races to prolong his lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the founder of the Ancient Heavenly Court in the Mythic Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never severed himself to become a Forbidden Zone Supreme Being, yet he still lived—there was only one explanation: Emperor Zun had discovered the way to immortality, even to true Immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2163,"2026-06-21T01:08:31.665Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5c5c9b59b6641cf1ada3d65c28df3b8a7cf496d1c77459296f7476807f0051ae","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-642","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-640",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-cover.jpg"]
