Are We on the Wrong Path to Immortality in the Mortal World?

What exactly are his thoughts? What is he planning to do?

This question, like an invisible thunderclap, exploded across the heavens and the earth, resounding in every corner of the vast universe.

Never before in history has there been such a dramatic change. The universe is shaking violently, galaxies are turning backward, star fields are collapsing, and countless stars are falling in a flurry, as if the end of the world has arrived.

And that forbidden zone of life, hidden deep within the ages and overlooking the endless years of all living beings, stirred up a monstrous wave. The raging waves shattered the space-time of eternity, causing every supreme being lurking within to tremble with fear, as if facing annihilation.

In the past, the Chaos Emperor Wang Mingyuan founded the Jade Capital. The supreme scriptures, including the first, second, third, and fourth volumes of the Great Dao, were only made public to the young friends within the capital. Although this caused a tremor within the Jade Capital, it did not affect the entire world.

But today, he has openly revealed to the entire universe these supreme secrets concerning longevity and immortality.

Each word pierced through countless ages and reached the ears of every cultivator. The shock was enough to shatter all the heavens and myriad realms, and to make all the heavens pale in comparison.

The most heaven-defying and forbidden method of Nirvana and rebirth, which was made public, had its core essence concealed in the Great Dao Scroll.

However, the changes in the Great Dao, the supreme mysteries, and the countless historical examples recorded within are by no means falsehoods. Every word is as heavy as a thousand pounds, striking the hearts of all the powerful.

That was Jiang Taixu, the God King who lived a second life, reborn from the ashes in a desperate situation, defying fate and reaching the peak once again;
He is the ruthless emperor who possesses four immortal ancient coffins, has walked through the mortal world for thousands of years, experienced four lifetimes of vicissitudes, and lived for a hundred thousand years. With a mortal body, he walks out his own heaven-defying immortal path.

It is the supreme feat of severing one's own original Dao fruit, stepping out a ray of life from the most desperate dead end in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and defying the heavens to live a second life.

It is a heaven-defying method that allows one to nurture a supreme Dao embryo for the next life within one's own body by relying on the immortal essence of longevity accumulated over countless ages.

Furthermore, with his extraordinary abilities, he sealed himself within the womb of a holy spirit, transforming the living into a holy spirit, and then broke free from the womb to be reborn and re-attain immortality—a forbidden method!

These volumes of the Great Dao contain such profound Dao principles that the reading threshold is so high it's almost despairing.

Only cultivators in the world who have reached the level of sainthood or higher can barely glimpse a trace of its essence, and even then, it is only a superficial understanding; they are completely unable to comprehend its true meaning.

Even the extraordinary events listed in the text can only be admired from afar, with no way to delve into them.

However, for those supreme powerhouses at the Quasi-Emperor level and above, especially the eternal supreme beings who hid in forbidden zones and severed their own ties, these great mysteries of the Great Dao can be verified with a little deduction, and they can easily see through the truth and falsehood within them.

The moment they finally completed their verification, the mental states of all the supreme beings in the forbidden zones collapsed instantly. Their Dao hearts, forged over countless ages, were completely cracked and could never be mended.

An unprecedentedly fierce conflict erupted throughout the entire forbidden zone. The supreme beings who once shared the same territory and tolerated each other were now facing each other head-on, their killing intent boiling. The forbidden zone, which had been silent for thousands of years, was in complete chaos.

"Did we go down the wrong path from the very beginning? We shouldn't just cut ourselves in half and prolong our lives!"

A supreme being let out an incredulous roar, his voice trembling with endless bewilderment and resentment.

"Absurd! Utterly absurd! We severed our Dao Fruits, abandoned our peak cultivation, and endured millions of years of loneliness and the erosion of time in this forbidden zone, only to be told by someone that this path has been wrong from the very beginning?"

Is the true path to immortality actually through trials in the mortal world, a rebirth within this universe, and the attainment of true immortality?

Even more enraged, the Supreme Being roared, his voice piercing through the forbidden zone and shattering the stars in the sky, unable to accept this cruel truth.

Primordial Ancient Mine, Above the Heavens, Underworld...

The world's remaining forbidden zones for life were all thrown into chaos.

Each supreme being was deeply troubled, their hearts filled with a world-ending storm.

Emotionally, how could they tolerate the easy denial of the path they had traversed over countless ages? Deep down, they were unwilling to believe it.
However, from a rational and realistic perspective, the records in the Great Dao Scroll are impeccable, and all the examples are traceable. There is not a trace of falsehood, and all of this is an absolute fact!

And to be honest, they are all more inclined towards this aspect psychologically.

If the Great Emperor realm is the ultimate end, then where does the path to immortality even begin?

If we can take on this responsibility, then there must be ways to improve it.

Previously, they didn't know how to improve, so they hoped to go to the Immortal Realm and explore it.

After all, there are no roads in the mortal realm, but there should be in the immortal realm; perhaps the environment of heaven and earth does not support them.

After all, so many brilliant academies throughout history, even those celestial beings, have failed to succeed on this path, so this one is probably a dead end.

The method suggested by some now is to explore inward and seek answers within oneself.

Moreover, it's not that no one has successfully navigated this path; many people have made progress to a certain point, but not all of them have succeeded. Since it's a viable path, it must be the right one.

They just hadn't taken the right path before.

If Wang Mingyuan, who was not yet enlightened and unknown back then, had said these words, they would have scoffed at them, questioned them in every way, and then eliminated him after personally verifying his claims.

But now, the one who promulgated this Great Dao Scroll and passed down this supreme truth is a genuine Heavenly Emperor! He is the Chaos Heavenly Emperor who swept across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, conquered all the myriad realms, and personally pacified the two forbidden zones!
Many supreme beings in the forbidden zones knew that with Wang Mingyuan's current unparalleled combat power and the group of supreme experts at the Great Emperor level under his command, if he really decided to take action, all the remaining forbidden zones would be wiped out one by one, leaving no one alive!
Unlike the solitary emperors of the past, he was surrounded by powerful figures, and his followers were all figures destined to be emperors for all ages.

He alone could fight in any forbidden zone and suppress all the supreme beings within;
If he were to lead his emperors, along with the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable Array Diagram and the Killing Sword—supreme weapons—in a joint attack, no forbidden zone in the world would be able to withstand him. All forbidden zones would be easily crushed and utterly annihilated.

What made the Supremes of the Forbidden Zone even more desperate was that even at this critical moment of life and death, the Forbidden Zone was unable to unite as one and could no longer join forces to fight against the powerful enemy.

The root of all this is Bai Yujing, the proclamation once again issued by the all-powerful Chaos Emperor Wang Mingyuan to the entire universe.

"The supreme beings who have never stirred up darkness and turmoil are all sages who sought the path to immortality, but simply went astray and strayed from the right path for a time."

The gates of Baiyujing are always open to all lost fellow cultivators, welcoming you to return to the righteous path and together explore the path to immortality.

The short, seemingly innocuous statement contained immense power, spreading to every corner of the universe, causing an uproar among cultivators across the myriad realms, and completely shattering the major forbidden zones, instantly splitting them into two opposing factions.

"This boy has ulterior motives; he is clearly trying to mislead us and deliberately sow discord among the forces of the forbidden zone!"

"We must not trust them at all. If we leave the forbidden zone and enter Baiyujing, we will be at their mercy. Our life or death will depend entirely on their will!"

"We should set aside our past grievances, join forces, slay this scoundrel, seize the Great Dao Scroll, and the secrets of immortality will be ours!"

Within the forbidden zone, a Supreme Being's stern voice incited others, his words wild and insane, stirring the hearts of many Supreme Beings with violent tempers, their killing intent surging.

At the same time, many supreme beings watched coldly, their thoughts complicated, and they did not easily agree.

Throughout the ages, countless supreme beings in forbidden zones have stirred up dark turmoil, slaughtering all living beings and absorbing their essence and blood to prolong their lives. Almost all the supreme beings who have survived from the mythical era have committed such heinous crimes.

The Stone Emperor, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, and the Immortal Granny are all ruthless individuals whose hands are stained with the blood of countless living beings.

Many of the ancient emperors who survived from the Primordial Era to the present day stirred up dark turmoil in order to survive, especially those ancient emperors who survived close to the time of the Immortal Emperor, whose sins were even more grave.

Only ancient emperors who lived closer to the primordial era, having severed their ties later and still possessing sufficient vital energy, rarely committed such heaven-defying and wicked acts, as they had not yet reached that point.

Among them, the Supreme Abandoner of Heaven, the Supreme Light and Darkness, and the Supreme White Tiger are all the instigators of the Dark Turmoil, whose sins are heinous and intolerable to Heaven and Earth.
However, there are also many supreme beings who have never initiated the Dark Turmoil.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor, the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor, and even the supreme being who willingly transformed into the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd to protect the region, all remained true to their original intentions and never harmed any living beings.

There was also the unsung human emperor who spent his life fighting for humanity, and in the end he severed himself and sealed himself in a forbidden zone, not for immortality, but only to explore a true path to immortality for humanity.

In the end, he silently perished on the path to immortality, leaving no trace of his name.

The moment the Heavenly Emperor issued his proclamation, the world was thrown into turmoil. All forces in the universe divided into factions and argued endlessly, with killing intent and the will to fight filling the void.

The fact that a full-blown war has not yet broken out is entirely due to the existence of that strange world.

In star fields near the strange world, longevity substances spread rampantly, so dense that they are impossible to disperse. This is enough to allow even a supreme emperor who has severed himself to extend his lifespan without slaughtering all living beings, which is no secret.

If one could cross the space-time passage and step into that strange world called the Heaven-Mending Realm, the opportunities and longevity substances one would obtain would be immeasurable, enough to tempt even the most supreme beings.

In an instant, undercurrents surged within the forbidden zone, and countless supreme beings had fluctuating thoughts. Some were determined to fight to the death, some were considering retreating, and some had even secretly conceived the idea of ​​betraying the forbidden zone and joining Baiyujing, or going to the Mending Heaven Realm to seek another way to survive!

A cataclysmic upheaval that will sweep across the entire universe and affect the fate of all the heavens throughout the ages has only just begun, and the will of the Chaos Emperor has already enveloped the nine heavens and ten earths.

The fate of the forbidden zone, and the future direction of the universe, all lie in this moment.

But the number of options in the restricted area is far less than they imagined.

boom!
Within the Primordial Ancient Mine, an ancient emperor silently departed, but before he could even leave, he was shattered by a single punch, his blood staining the entire starry sky crimson.

The entire universe trembled, and the ancient star of the Big Dipper jumped twice like a trembling little beast before calming down again.

Wang Mingyuan appeared beyond the starry sky, looking down at this ancient star of life. On the ancient star of the Big Dipper, hundreds of millions of living beings held their breath and dared not speak.

Never before in history has such an exaggerated event occurred, where an unparalleled supreme being within a forbidden zone was so easily crushed.

"It is the Beast God, an emperor who rose to power in the ancient times!"

"One strike, just one strike, how could it be so exaggerated? Just how powerful is he?"

"He has become incredibly strong. In terms of combat power, he may truly be close to an immortal, and he might even be able to slay an immortal!"

Even the ancient stars of the Big Dipper trembled, and the vast universe roared. In the underworld, some people observed silently, not daring to speak aloud.

"Even the Great Emperor Wushi back then was no more than this; he was even more exaggerated than the Great Emperor Wushi!"
Even the Great Emperor Wushi, who once slaughtered Supreme Beings and Ancient Emperors with the ease of cutting melons and vegetables, wasn't this swift!

If we're talking about who knows the most about the Great Emperor Wushi's fighting prowess, the most forbidden place in the world is undoubtedly the Underworld.

Because they completely offended Yaochi back then.

The father of the Great Emperor Wushi was killed by a curse from the underworld.

At that time, there must have been several supreme beings from the underworld who took action, including the Source God and Source Ghost.

There's a high probability that the Heavenly Treasure will also be sold.

Even other supreme beings in the underworld should have shown signs of involvement.

After all, the father of the Great Emperor Wushi was not only one of the Nine Sacred Bodies, but had also achieved great success at that time. At the same time, his mother was the Great Emperor of the time, the Queen Mother of the West.

With one Great Emperor and one Great Accomplished Holy Body, their combat power is almost equivalent to that of two Great Emperors in the world.

As a result, the Great Emperor Wushi was cursed and died, ultimately dying in the arms of the Queen Mother of the West.

There must be many people involved, with the underworld contributing an enormous amount of effort, and the hatred they garnered was at its peak.

During the reign of the Great Emperor Wushi, there was almost no forbidden zone in the entire world; the forbidden zones cleverly avoided each other.

The underworld was the best at escaping, but it must have suffered quite a bit in the process.

Therefore, the Underworld should be the one with the clearest understanding of the Great Emperor Wushi's combat strength.

But now, even the underworld is silent upon seeing Wang Mingyuan.

"His current combat power is even more exaggerated than when Wushi was in his later years. Could it be that he has reached the realm of the Mortal Immortal mentioned in the strange world?"

"But that's impossible! How could it be so exaggerated? Even if he's a Chaos Body, he couldn't possibly be this strong in his first life. We've all experienced the Ruthless Great Emperor before!"

The penalty area is really scratching its head.

The Ruthless Great Emperor lived more than 200,000 years ago. For ordinary cultivators, this period of history has long been buried in the dust, but for the ancient emperors and supreme beings in the forbidden zone, this time is still relatively short.

They remembered it clearly, after all, the Ruthless Emperor had once leveled a forbidden zone.

In her later years in her first life, the Ruthless Great Emperor conceived a divine embryo from a demonic fetus, which naturally transformed into a chaotic body, thus beginning her truly invincible path.

But even the ruthless emperors of that era had seen and fought against them, as evidenced by the Tianduan Mountains.

Strong, very strong, but not so strong as to be incomprehensible.

They couldn't quite understand Wang Mingyuan's current strength. (End of Chapter)
