whether now merely a Primordial Spirit or not, he could see Luo Fu’s true nature—this so-called uncanny valley feeling arose merely because Luo Fu walked a path different from the Concealing Heaven Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like AI creating exquisitely beautiful paintings: when AI technology was still imperfect, the human figures it produced always carried an artificial quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu, who cultivated the Luo Tian Method, had merely amplified this artificial quality to the point of triggering the uncanny valley effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as AI technology continuously improved, the human figures it produced would cross the uncanny valley and reach a perfection no human, even with makeup or enhancement, could achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That realm, in cultivation, was unmistakably the symbol of entering the Immortal Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Wan Qing’s eyes, Luo Fu was already on the verge of reaching this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laymen watch the spectacle; experts watch the subtleties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concealing Heaven Method Cultivators lacking a high-level perspective would regard Luo Fu as a heretical demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who truly understood what the Luo Tian Method meant would realize that Luo Fu had, with great toil, forged an entirely new Dao for future generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether this path could fulfill the ultimate dream of immortality and transcendence remained uncertain, but regardless, it was far superior to the path already proven dead-end by countless Concealing Heaven Method Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My apologies for my rudeness,” Qing Di’s Primordial Spirit suddenly sharpened slightly after greeting Luo Fu, as if the Wan Qing within the Ruin Tower was unreservedly projecting more of his consciousness outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive me for appearing before Itachi in this form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly explaining his situation, Qing Di eagerly said: “Friend, Itachi have done what no predecessor dared, opening a new Dao for all races of the myriad worlds—your merit is immeasurable. Might I discuss the Dao with Itachi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though called “discussing the Dao,” in truth, given Wan Qing’s realm, this “discussion” was more like a transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of strength, Wan Qing before abandoning his body was unquestionably a Dao-attaining Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, reduced to only his Primordial Spirit, his realm still far surpassed all current Concealing Heaven Method Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ability to see from a lofty vantage point was sufficient to offer unprecedented guidance to any Concealing Heaven Method Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wan Qing sought a Dao-level transaction with Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would use his peerless insight and wisdom as a Dao-attaining Emperor to refine Luo Fu’s Luo Tian Method system, while Luo Fu, in turn, would receive guidance on attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor from Wan Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This exchange could be called a win-win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of Duan De, Yan Ruyu, Qin Yao, and others, as Luo Fu nodded in agreement to Wan Qing’s request,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately began a profoundly influential Dao discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the Luo Tian Method’s cultivation technique from Luo Fu, Wan Qing sighed: “I regret not being born after Itachi—if I had known that in the future, a peerless genius like Itachi would emerge and pioneer such a secret method, I would have gladly traded my own Emperor Dao Fruit for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hss.” Wan Qing’s words instantly caused Yan Ruyu to involuntarily draw in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Concealing Heaven Method had been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, an incalculable span of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even in a grand Golden Era, only one Dao-attaining Emperor could be born—and often, tens of thousands of years passed without a single Golden Era emerging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Primordial Age before Wan Qing, there had nearly been a stretch of tens of thousands of years with no Dao-attaining Emperor born at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the successive sacrifices of the Nine Great Saint Bodies, countless beings of the myriad worlds would have been devoured by the Dark Chaos, their life essence consumed by the Forbidden Zone Sovereigns to extend their own lifespans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this unimaginable achievement, in the mouth of Wan Qing—the most recent Dao-attaining Emperor—was now deemed worth abandoning his own chance to become an Emperor, if only he could cultivate Luo Fu’s Luo Tian Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely this point alone was enough to make Yan Ruyu recognize the true weight of Luo Fu as the First Ancestor of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ruyu had only taken notice of the Luo Tian Method because of Wan Qing; she lacked a deep, visceral understanding of how immensely appealing the Luo Tian Method was to Forbidden Zone Sovereigns, who, despite their longevity, were still bound by the Concealing Heaven Method’s ten-thousand-year lifespan limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Concealing Heaven Era was likely the most miserable period, sandwiched between the Nine Heavens and Ten Worlds Era and the Spiritual Energy Revival Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In either the Perfect Method of the Nine Heavens and Ten Worlds or the Sacred Ruins Method of the Spiritual Energy Revival Era, which Dao-attaining Emperor had only a ten-thousand-year lifespan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially, the fact that Dao-attaining Emperors in the Concealing Heaven Era were locked to a ten-thousand-year lifespan was profoundly bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not forget—the Forbidden Zone Sovereigns were once Dao-attaining Emperors themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, the ten-thousand-year lifespan limit should have applied to them too, yet these Sovereigns had somehow clung to life from ancient times all the way to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference between Forbidden Zone Sovereigns and Dao-attaining Emperors was the presence of the Heavenly Heart Mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The self-decapitation they performed severed precisely the Dao-attaining Emperor’s Heavenly Heart Mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment they severed their own Heavenly Heart Mark, Forbidden Zone Sovereigns fell from the rank of Dao-attaining Emperors—but in doing so, they gained the chance to seal themselves away and extend their lifespan beyond the ten-thousand-year limit of Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao-attaining Emperors, without exception, were bound by the iron law of a ten-thousand-year lifespan—no matter how powerful the Divine Source used to seal a Pretender Emperor, it could not stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, the process of attaining the Dao and the existence of the Heavenly Heart Mark were the universe’s way of using Dao-attaining Emperors to compensate for its own Dao flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao-attaining Emperors were mere tools—but tell me, which Dao-attaining Emperor was not a peerless genius of their age?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flaw was one no Dao-attaining Emperor could accept; some Emperors cared for all beings, while others, unwilling to see their life’s achievements reduced to nothing, abandoned their pride, severed their Heavenly Heart Mark, and sought immortality and transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who truly attained the Dao understood the utter despair of having once crushed all obstacles, yet facing the ten-thousand-year lifespan limit with no recourse whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not whitewashing the Forbidden Zone Sovereigns; quite the opposite—it is precisely because of their plight that the Dao-attaining Emperors who remained steadfast and true to themselves became all the more rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Forbidden Zone Sovereigns, not all chose to self-decapitate upon reaching the ten-thousand-year limit; some had even lived multiple lives, even a third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Long Life Heavenly Sovereign had lived more than one life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ruyu’s understanding of Luo Fu remained superficial; as a descendant of Qing Di, she naturally followed Qing Di’s lead—what her ancestor said, she believed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, her gaze toward Luo Fu was filled with intense anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hoped Luo Fu would transmit his Luo Tian Method system to the demonic races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Ruyu currently did not understand the astonishing effects of Luo Fu’s Luo Tian Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yan Ruyu, as a Concealing Heaven Method Cultivator, still harbored an instinctive resistance toward Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Qing Di now existed only as a Primordial Spirit, trapped within the Ruin Tower, he was still a former Dao-attaining Emperor who had even attempted to evolve his own Divine Realm—he could naturally accept Luo Fu’s Luo Tian Method, so radically different from the Concealing Heaven Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Yan Ruyu, it was different: the Concealing Heaven Method Cultivators’ instinctive uncanny valley reaction toward the Luo Tian Method made her genuinely harbor subconscious resistance, vigilance, and hostility toward Luo Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this resistance, vigilance, and hostility were temporarily suppressed by her postnatal reverence for her ancestor, Qing Di.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Luo Fu had little concern for Yan Ruyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Qing Di’s request for a Dao discussion, Luo Fu welcomed it eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Luo Fu had already engaged in multiple Dao discussions with the Ferocious Great Emperor, who had walked halfway down the path to becoming an Immortal in the mortal realm, and even exchanged cultivation techniques with her, Luo Fu knew that because he had interacted with her too often, his Dao and Method had already been significantly influenced by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This influence could not be compensated for merely by acquiring other Emperor Scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Concealing Heaven Method system, Emperor Scriptures were the unique Dao and Method each Emperor had pioneered; no one else could use an Emperor’s Method to attain the Dao and become an Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve the feat of attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor, one must refine hundreds of Scriptures—this was nearly a consensus among Concealing Heaven Method Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fu had indeed obtained many Emperor Scriptures, but merely possessing them could never compare to direct dialogue with the Ferocious Great Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Direct dialogue with the Ferocious Great Emperor had inevitably deeply influenced Luo Fu, and this influence had even spread to his own Luo Tian Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the Luo Tian Method being fundamentally a different system from the Concealing Heaven Method, this influence might have been even deeper; had another Concealing Heaven Method Cultivator, under such influence, reached Luo Fu’s current Saint realm, their path to attaining the Dao would have been utterly severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most brilliant talent would be permanently capped at the Pretender Emperor level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because he understood this influence, the Ferocious Great Emperor had raised Ye Hei with a hands-off approach—aside from arranging opportunities for him, she never interfered in his growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Luo Fu bore no resentment toward the Ferocious Great Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her Dao discussions with him were not malicious; if Luo Fu truly was influenced, it could only mean he lacked the destiny to attain the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it is clear that the Ferocious Great Emperor was increasingly approaching the essence of the Immortal Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This influence—where one’s own Dao becomes enveloped by the Emperor’s attaining influence—is only bearable for Luo Fu because he has forged a path distinct from the Concealing Heaven Method, and because he has shared the Dao and principles of twelve other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Dao and principles of twelve other worlds, even the Ferocious Great Emperor’s brilliance and the profundity of her Emperor Scripture were but a small part of Luo Fu’s whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the perspective of the Concealing Heaven Method, this influence was considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, discussing the Dao with Qing Di was the best way to dilute the Ferocious Great Emperor’s influence within Luo Fu’s own Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside of Qing Di, Luo Fu would not have another such opportunity in the near future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this entire End Dharma Era, only Wushui Emperor, the future Ye Hei, and Duan De after his Dao attainment could aid Luo Fu in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2250,"2026-06-21T01:08:31.665Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2bfcd8aab4312ef8b4c5486d90117ed3381f9606dd739394ce78e68ce1bb8f46","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-648","simultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-chapter-646",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-i-forge-the-dao-acr-cover.jpg"]
