Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

In the vast starry sky, starlight flickered, shining brilliantly.

An Immortal Palace of magnificent aura was enveloped by starlight, auspicious qi rising in wisps, pure immortal mist flowing through it like a murmuring stream. Divine orchids and jade herbs were everywhere, divine birds and auspicious beasts appeared from time to time, everywhere exuding a transcendent and unworldly aura.

Here was the Heavenly Court established by Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had established the Heavenly Court long ago. Back when he returned to Earth through the Ancestral Temple of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty, the Heavenly Court had just taken initial shape, but at that time its scale was still small, and development was relatively slow.

However, over the past few thousand years, as Ye Fan successfully proved the Dao, the strength of the Heavenly Court grew day by day,.

At this moment, Ye Fan sat cross-legged in his own palace, fully focused on contemplating various longevity arts, constantly deducing and verifying them. He sat cross-legged like this silently for several thousand years, this Heavenly Palace was covered in dust, and even spider webs had formed.

"Crack!"

Just then, two brilliant gazes like golden lightning instantly tore through the Void. This light was extremely sharp, sweeping away all the spider webs in the palace, and the originally dim palace instantly brightened.

Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes, slowly raised his palm, only to see chaotic qi slowly flowing between his fingers, gradually forming four characters: "Beidou Yi Xu."

Just these four characters made Ye Fan's expression turn solemn, but soon he relaxed again, softly muttering: "Indeed, it's been a while since we last met..."

After speaking, Ye Fan rose and directly left this Heavenly Palace where he had sat in meditation for several thousand years.

At the same time, in Beidou.

The Great Dao between Heaven and Earth resonated, a golden Dao road extended from the depths of the Universe. Accompanying the descent of the Dao, a terrifying qi and blood fluctuation spread, the entire North Dipper Star Domain trembled because of it.

"Truly an astonishing aura!" Jiang Xuan looked toward the Outer Regions, a slight smile on his face.

"The Holy Body proving the Dao, indeed incomparably powerful, in this lifetime a Holy Body proved the Dao, and even an Immortal appeared, truly an unprecedented lifetime!" Qing Di couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"This aura, looking at it seems like coming to duel with me, I'm afraid all the cultivators in the entire North Dipper Star Domain will be scared out of their wits..." Jiang Xuan also smiled slightly.

"Not necessarily no thought of a battle!" Laughter came from afar.

Ye Fan descended in this mountain forest.

Not seen for many years, his demeanor surpassed the past. A head of black long hair casually scattered, his whole body exuding vigorous vitality, full of vigor. His eyes were deep and spirited, obviously these years his cultivation had made great progress.

"Boom!!"

As soon as he appeared, without saying another word, he directly punched toward Jiang Xuan. This punch was fierce and tyrannical, power astonishing, the entire starry sky trembled violently because of this punch. The power of this punch shook ancient and modern times, as if it could reverse Time, even piercing through the Thirty-Three Heavens!

Beside him, Xia Yao Xi's expression was solemn, Ye Fan's punch carried the power of destroying heaven and earth, obviously the terrifying momentum only possible after stepping into the forbidden Realm, making her heart palpitate with fear.

Jiang Xuan witnessed this scene, his expression calm as still water, as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard, he casually waved out a thread of chaotic qi, a smile playing on his lips, he said leisurely: "Not bad, far surpassing ordinary Great Emperors!"

Jiang Xuan stepped forward calmly, waving his arm with nonchalance. In an instant, the vast blood light seemed to be gathered and refined by an invisible large hand, transforming into an extremely sharp blade edge, carrying an unstoppable momentum, with an extremely fierce Blood Phoenix Slash, it fiercely met Ye Fan's attack head-on.

"Boom!"

In an instant, it was as if a bomb had been thrown between Heaven and Earth, the roar of the Great Dao was deafening, as if it would shatter one's Soul.

The golden light and red glow filling the sky were like two furious dragons, wildly surging and flowing in the air, intertwining into a heart-stirring scene.

However, what was surprising was that the terrifying aftermath produced by one Emperor and one Immortal going all out seemed to be blocked by an invisible Barrier, not spreading to the surroundings by Not a Bit.

Around everyone, a layer of chaotic qi seemed like loyal Guards, quietly surrounding, steadily Suppressing all the aftermath within. Even if two Great Emperors went all out in a clash, not a single blade of grass or Stone by their side was damaged by Not a Bit.

"Jiang Xuan, the Red Dust Immortal is indeed powerful, well-deserved!" After one strike, Ye Fan gradually withdrew his momentum, stepping down steadily from the Void, sincerely praising.

Just a single thread of chaotic qi could completely Suppress the shocking waves of aftermath kicked up by his full-force strike silently, this kind of power transcending to Immortal Saint was truly hard to imagine, unbelievable. Even Ye Fan, as a Great Emperor of the present age, couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, Jiang Xuan's current strength had already exceeded his understanding.

Ye Fan slightly nodded, his gaze like lightning, instantly turning toward the unfamiliar third person present.

Coming into view was an old man with a figure Withered like Firewood, a mysterious aura faintly surrounding his whole body. Upon Careful Observation, he was clearly just a Primordial Spirit body, but the powerful aura rushing toward one was like a towering mountain, inspiring awe, absolutely a Primordial Spirit of Great Emperor level standing at the Peak of cultivation.

Most mysterious was that Ye Fan felt deep in his Life Wheel Sea, the Green Lotus that had always quietly taken root, seemed to have been summoned by some Mysterious Force, starting to tremble slightly, as if impatient to break free from his control and merge into the body of this old man before him.

"May I ask, Sir, are you Qing Di?" Ye Fan slightly frowned, asking tentatively.

"It is this old man." The withered old man slightly nodded, his voice though soft, seemed to contain endless vicissitudes and Wisdom.

"Fellow Daoist suddenly fell back then, it seems there indeed are hidden circumstances!" Ye Fan thoughtfully nodded again slightly.

Regarding Qing Di's sudden appearance, although Ye Fan's heart was filled with layers of waves, full of Surprise, but with his state of mind and experience, it was not completely unacceptable. After all, Qing Di as the only peerless powerhouse to prove the Dao in the post-Desolate Ancient Era, his fame and strength had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Moreover, when he sat in transformation back then, various signs indicated that he seemed not to have reached the moment his Lifespan was completely exhausted, passing away at that time was inherently unreasonable. Now Qing Di suddenly appeared, upon careful thought, it was also reasonable.

"Back then, to seek longevity, I dismembered myself..." Qing Di slowly spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if coming from the depths of Years.

Afterwards, Qing Di explained his experiences to Ye Fan in detail, the general content was exactly the same as what he had said to Jiang Xuan and them before.

Ye Fan quietly listened to the end, a hint of suspicion flashed in his Gaze, then he looked back and forth between Jiang Xuan and Qing Di's faces. Immediately after, he looked toward Jiang Xuan and asked: "Jiang Xuan, you specially invited me out, could it be there are other high insights to guide me?"

"It's not that I have any high insights, but rather Fellow Daoist Qing Di now wants to revive and be reborn, so urgently needs to borrow your Green Lotus for use."

Jiang Xuan's expression was sincere, he said softly: "You are now also wholeheartedly studying longevity arts, right? What in this World could compare to personally witnessing a Great Emperor revive from death and successfully live out a brand new lifetime, allowing you to gain profound Insight into longevity arts?"

"You, still the same old way, using both soft and hard methods. So many years have passed, your style of doing things hasn't changed at all!" Ye Fan helplessly rolled his eyes at Jiang Xuan, saying with a wry smile: "However, you really underestimate me... You think I would be reluctant to part with this Green Lotus?"

Words Sound Not Fall, Ye Fan had already activated his art, carefully taking out the Green Lotus within his body, handing it to Qing Di.

"It was my consideration that was lacking, please don't blame me." Jiang Xuan saw this, a apologetic smile appeared on his face, smiling as he said.

Immediately after, he turned his head to look at Qing Di beside him, his eyes full of Expectation, saying: "Now everything is ready, Fellow Daoist, you can begin your Nirvana Rebirth!"

"I'm going!"

Qing Di didn't waste words with Nonsense, taking the Green Lotus from Ye Fan's hand.

"Fellow Daoists, I'm starting now!" Qing Di hastily bid farewell to Jiang Xuan and the others, his Primordial Spirit instantly sinking into the Green Lotus bestowed by Ye Fan.

"Boom!"

Just as the Chaos Green Lotus and Qing Di's Primordial Spirit merged, dazzling Qingxia suddenly burst forth, rapidly expanding within the North Dipper Star Domain.

The Green Lotus took root in the Void, transforming into a Green Lotus full of vigorous Vitality.

The huge lotus flower propped open a vast expanse of cosmic starry sky, the emerald green lotus leaves were boundless, almost covering the Sun Moon Stars.

"Is this the one responsible for the Chaos Green Lotus?"

"My god, it's the Qing Di, the Qing Di has displayed his divine abilities!"

Within the North Dipper Star Domain, countless old demons bowed respectfully toward the Green Lotus in the starry sky, after all, this was their demon race's Great Emperor.

"Boom—!"

Right at this moment, a shocking demonic power suddenly erupted, surging toward the Green Lotus in the cosmic starry sky like a surging tidal wave.

This life aura was extremely powerful, as if a vast ocean, directly submerging the entire North Dipper Star Domain.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"...

The Qing Di's heart beat slowly yet powerfully; with each beat, the entire North Dipper Star Domain resonated along with it, as if this was the heartbeat of heaven and earth.

As time continuously passed, this vibrating power grew stronger and stronger, until in the end it actually spread across the entire universe.

Right at this moment, everyone in the whole universe sensed the Qing Di's aura.

"Ah, it's the Qing Di's aura, that's right, it really is the Qing Di! It's been tens of thousands of years, yet the Qing Di has actually appeared in the world again!"

"Could the Qing Di not have fallen? Could he also have turned into a Forbidden Zone? Looking at it this way, the Jiang Heavenly Emperor and the Huang Heavenly Emperor definitely won't just watch without intervening."

"The Qing Di is the only Great Emperor who proved the Dao in the Post-Ancient Era, he inherently should have heaven-defying abilities, sure enough he wouldn't fade away so easily."

The numerous cultivators of the whole universe were heatedly discussing the Qing Di's matter; many people hurriedly searched through ancient books, wanting to understand the various events that occurred during the Qing Di's era.

"The Primordial Spirit fusing with the Green Lotus, plus the power of the Qing Emperor Heart, indeed produced some changes, but wanting to resurrect just like this is still not quite enough..." Ye Fan gazed at the Green Lotus in the cosmic void, secretly planning in his heart.

He had long suspected that the Green Lotus inside his body was related to the Qing Di, understanding this was not a special phenomenon brought by the Sacred Body. For many years, Ye Fan had never given up on refining this Green Lotus, single-mindedly wanting to erase the Qing Di's mark and brand his own mark onto it.

After tens of thousands of years of refining, this Green Lotus already had no small gap from the Qing Di's original Dao.

If placed in the past, the Qing Di using this Green Lotus to be reborn would be a very simple matter, but now, it was lacking a few crucial things.

Jiang Xuan quietly watched the Qing Di's rebirth process, pondering in his heart: "Ye Fan has spent these tens of thousands of years painstakingly refining the Green Lotus, solely wanting to carve his own mark on it; if not for the method I imparted, the Qing Di's rebirth this time might really have failed..."

"But this way, Ye Fan's painstaking efforts over so many years have just benefited the Qing Di for nothing." Jiang Xuan understood in his heart; giving away this Green Lotus, Ye Fan indeed suffered a bit of a loss.

This Green Lotus had always been guarded by Ye Fan using a weapon while refining; within it had long since integrated his own Dao insights.

"But it's also hard to say; if Ye Fan can comprehend the secret to living out a third life from the Qing Di's nirvana this time, perhaps he could reap even more..."

At this moment, in the vast starry sky, the Qing Di Lotus expanded crazily in an almost violent posture.

It greedily swallowed the cosmic void power like a whale, as if wanting to take the entire universe's energy into its body. Its silhouette was towering and magnificent, like a Creation God Tree of a universe, standing upright between heaven and earth.

Thick roots resembled ancient giant dragons that had broken free of seals, carrying a heaven-destroying earth-annihilating momentum, extending wantonly toward the depths of the boundless starry sky; wherever they reached, space was stirred into twisting and trembling.

The vast-power Qing Emperor Heart fused within, the Qing Di Lotus's expansion momentum became even more surging, as if wanting to reenact the grand spectacle of the ancient era's opening of heaven and earth.

Chaos mist like a surging tsunami surged and spread wantonly; that was the primordial power of the universe's initial opening boiling.

Gradually, countless stars seemed to be summoned by a mysterious and powerful force, surrounding the Qing Di Lotus. They were like the most brilliant gems in the universe, and also like loyal guards, forming a dreamlike yet shocking scene.

Dazzling to the extreme emerald light, like a sacred pillar of light penetrating heaven and earth, directly broke through the heavenly vault, rushing into the depths of the vast universe.

Endless heaven and earth spirit qi, under the pull of this powerful force, like a surging torrent, crazily poured into the Qing Di Lotus. In the end, even the heart carrying the Qing Di's boundless power and hope unreservedly fused into this Green Lotus that was almost propping open the universe.

"Boom!"

A heaven-shaking huge sound exploded, the entire universe trembled for it.

The Qing Di Lotus swayed slightly; this seemingly inadvertent action was like triggering a universe-level catastrophe.

Large swathes of chaos mist were shaken out; these mists spread at a terrifying speed, instantly covering large areas of the starry sky airtight, as if wanting to drag the entire universe into an endless dark abyss. Powerful force fluctuations like heavy bombs crazily spread in all directions; wherever they reached, all things trembled, all things in the world shuddered before this terrifying power.

Even countless cultivators far at the universe's most remote, most hidden corners were frightened out of their wits by this heaven-destroying earth-annihilating momentum, their hearts filled with endless fear and awe.

However, right when the Chaos Green Lotus reached its most flourishing, almost dominating the universe's peak moment, fate's turning point quietly descended; it actually began to gradually weaken without any warning.

From a glorious peak to a decaying valley bottom, this huge transformation occurred in just a split second, catching one off guard.

Visibly to the naked eye, the entire Chaos Green Lotus seemed to have had its life source drained, instantly losing its vigorous vitality, beginning to rapidly wither. The originally bright emerald auspicious light, dazzling like the sun, gradually dimmed at a visible speed, becoming as weak as a dying candle flame. That once towering massive body that could prop up the universe also continuously shrank, as if being ruthlessly eroded in the torrent of time.

Even those huge leaves that covered the sky and blocked the sun, full of power, began to turn yellow and wither, slowly fluttering down piece by piece, as if narrating endless sorrow and helplessness.

In the end, the unrivaled Qing Di Lotus actually shrank to only a little over one person tall, standing alone in the vast starry sky, appearing so tiny, so helpless.

"Boom—!"

Another huge sound, a blinding fire light streaked across the dark starry sky like lightning.

In an instant, the completely withered Qing Di Lotus was ignited by a blazing great fire; amidst the soaring fire light, the entire universe was dyed a blood red color.

Finally, in this endless burning and destruction, only a single small Green Lotus Seed remained, floating alone in the void, like the universe's last hope spark.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound carrying endless hope rang out; the Green Lotus Seed slowly cracked open.

However, what erupted from that crack was neither a tender green new shoot symbolizing new life, nor vigorous vitality full of life force, but blazing burning flames, a power intertwining destruction and rebirth.

All vitality inside the Green Lotus Seed was completely ignited at this moment; even the Green Lotus Seed itself burned in this blazing fire, as if wanting to thoroughly incinerate everything of the past, to open a road for new life.

Under the wrapping of that scorching flame, when the vitality inside the Green Lotus Seed was about to be exhausted, the entire universe seemed to have fallen into desperate darkness; a crisp and stirring phoenix cry, like dawn's first light, suddenly rang out.

Simultaneously, the Great Dao of heaven and earth seemed to be awakened by this power, beginning to crazily rumble and resonate. The entire universe's rule power was all mobilized at this moment, crazily rotating around this small Green Lotus Seed.

Under the effect of this powerful force, the Green Lotus Seed trembled violently, as if experiencing a life-and-death metamorphosis; its internal vitality actually began to miraculously nurture anew.

The Qing Di succeeded!

He relied on Ye Fan's Green Lotus, borrowed the Qing Emperor Heart's power, plus the Nirvana Technique, and finally in this desperate situation achieved the heaven-defying feat of changing fate, completing the great crossing from death to rebirth.

The reborn Green Lotus Seed, as if injected with endless vitality, soon cracked open again.

A jade-like emerald tender shoot, like a brave warrior, broke through heavy obstacles and emerged. It grew at an astonishing speed; every second enormous changes occurred.

The newborn tender shoot was crystal clear transparent, pure like the first thread of dawn when the universe initially opened, and also like the most precious green jade, emitting a gentle and mysterious light.

Every lotus leaf grew robustly amid the Great Dao's rumbling; chaos qi still accompanied the surroundings, that was the universe's most primordial, most powerful force. This force seemed to be narrating an ancient yet hope-filled story, foretelling that a brand new legend was about to begin.

Powerful force fluctuations, like surging sea waves, spread outward from the brand new Green Lotus. Wherever they reached, all things revived, full of life, as if an ancient god who had slept for countless years had awakened here, bringing new hope and vitality to the entire universe.

In the cosmic starry sky, countless starlight, moonlight, sunlight, as if summoned by some mysterious force, all sprinkled down, like a brilliant galaxy, greedily absorbed by the Green Lotus Seed.

This moment, the entire universe was cheering for this newborn power, trembling for the Qing Di's rebirth.

"Hum!"

Just then, the brand-new Green Lotus trembled slightly, and this seemingly slight tremor was as if it had triggered a storm across the universe.

As if an invisible blade from ancient times had been beheaded from the deepest reaches of the universe, bringing along endless majesty and power.

Under the effect of this power, this Green Lotus gradually became illusory, as if it were to integrate into the void of the universe.

Simultaneously, a figure gradually became clear and real amidst the interweaving of light and power. Every inch of his skin radiated powerful force, and every gaze of his contained endless wisdom and majesty. He was the Qing Di reborn and returned. (Chapter End)
