Chapter 316
The Golden Generation
The Ancient Forbidden Land is located in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness.
This is the most unique of the seven forbidden zones of life, because a dark upheaval has never occurred here.
Two supreme figures slumber here—one is the Great Accomplished Holy Body in his later years, and the other is the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Lord of the Wilderness.
Wang Mingyuan landed before the desolate ancient forbidden land, and the chaotic energy subsided, revealing his true form.
He looked to be only about twenty years old, with a tall and imposing figure and an imposing presence, but his eyes were incredibly deep, as if they had seen through the cycles of time.
A figure slowly emerged from the desolate, forbidden land.
He was an existence with unbelievably vigorous life force, his entire body shrouded in golden divine light, his life force soaring into the sky like smoke from a wolf's tail, like a war god who had walked out of ancient times.
He was one of the nine great sacred bodies, a master of the Great Sacred Body who had fought valiantly for the human race. In his later years, he met with misfortune and passed away in the desolate ancient forbidden land. Now, he has been revived by Wang Mingyuan using heaven-defying methods, and his vital energy has been restored to its peak state.
His gaze fell on Wang Mingyuan, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
"The Chaos Emperor".
He bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
Wang Mingyuan nodded and looked at the distant starry sky.
There, the chaotic energy dissipated, and the world finally returned to peace.
"This era should come to an end."
Wang Mingyuan said softly.
The Great Accomplished Holy Body looked at the starry sky, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.
Yes, this era should come to an end.
The dark clouds that loomed over everyone, the despairing darkness, the suffocating fear—all have finally passed.
From this day forward, there will be no more forbidden zones in the nine heavens and ten earths.
From now on, the people can live in peace and prosperity, and no longer need to worry about the coming of darkness and turmoil.
From now on, every aspiring cultivator can walk the path to immortality with dignity and integrity, without having to take those self-destructive detours.
This marks the beginning of a new era.
Wang Mingyuan, an ordinary person who transmigrated from Earth, a prodigy who became an emperor with a chaotic body, is the one who ushered in this new era.
His image will be forever etched in this world, becoming the most brilliant star throughout the ages.
……
The world is clear and peaceful, and the restricted area is pacified.
The forbidden zone has been pacified, but the turmoil continues. Time does not stand still for any one person, nor does it stop because of the disappearance or death of any one person.
In that battle, more than ten ancient emperors and celestial beings perished, their blood stained the starry sky, the laws of the Dao collapsed, and heaven and earth grieved together.
After that battle, all the dark clouds that had been weighing on the hearts of the common people were completely removed, the seven forbidden zones of life were all pacified, and no supreme being dared to remain in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
That was hailed as the end of an era and the beginning of a new one.
The center of this new era is the Ancient Star of Creation, founded by Wang Mingyuan.
This ancient star was originally inconspicuous, located in a desolate area between the Big Dipper Starfield and the Eternal Starfield, and was created out of thin air by Wang Mingyuan.
Even standing atop this ancient star of creation, he could naturally cause special changes to the star.
Not to mention that he used unparalleled means to move six of the seven forbidden zones of the Eastern Wilderness to this world, and their mysteries of creation have been integrated into this newborn star of life.
The changes on the ancient star of creation are becoming increasingly peculiar. Dragon veins rise from the ground, like a real dragon coiled up, with spiritual energy so dense that it is almost condensed into liquid.
Ancient trees reach for the sky, medicinal herbs abound, and auspicious birds and beasts flock to the land.
Countless divine mineral veins surged forth from the earth, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious colors.
The entire ancient star was shining and reviving, as if a sleeping sun had been awakened and was radiating dazzling light.
It is clearly a newly born star, but it is no less than any ancient star with life in the past.
However, Wang Mingyuan did not prohibit others from coming to this place.
Countless cultivators, countless races, and countless forces flocked to the scene.
They come from the Big Dipper Star Region, from the Eternal Star Region, from the Purple Star Region, from every corner of this universe.
They wanted to make a pilgrimage, to pay homage, to cultivate themselves on this ancient star created by the Chaos Emperor, and to seek their own opportunities in the center of this new era.
On the ancient road under the starry sky, the crowds were as vast as the sea.
Quasi-Emperor level powerhouses traversed the void, Saint level cultivators piloted divine ships, and countless young cultivators traveled in spaceships, enduring countless hardships, all just to catch a glimpse of that legendary ancient star of creation.
For a time, the ancient star of creation became the most dazzling center of the entire universe, attracting all races to pay homage, and displaying a myriad of magnificent phenomena.
Wang Mingyuan resides deep within the ancient star of creation, breathing in and out chaotic energy daily to comprehend the Great Dao and advance his cultivation.
He did not refuse the monks who came to worship, and would even occasionally appear to preach and give sermons.
Each sermon was a once-in-a-millennium event, drawing countless cultivators to hear the true meaning of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor's teachings.
However, the younger generation of outstanding talents have not stopped moving forward.
Or rather, they can no longer be called the younger generation. Although their average age is only five hundred years old, which is very young in the cultivation world, their cultivation level is terrifying, generally in the realm of Great Sage and Quasi-Emperor.
With the forbidden zone pacified and the threat of dark turmoil eliminated, this does not mean that the cultivators can become complacent.
On the contrary, this era is more intense and more brutal than any previous one.
Because everyone's eyes were on becoming an immortal, on that gate leading to a higher level.
On this path, Ye Fan was ahead of everyone else.
Ye Fan.
This name has become a legend in the world.
The boy who traveled from Earth, bearing the destiny of the Ancient Sacred Body, overcame all obstacles and hardships without ever backing down.
He was once hunted down, besieged, and predicted by countless people that he would not live to see the day he achieved the Great Perfection of the Holy Body.
But he made it through, step by step, until he stood before everyone.
In the decades following the pacification of the restricted area, Ye Fan's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds.
With the appearance of an ancient holy body, he defied the heavens, tempered himself in battle, and comprehended the Great Dao between life and death.
His vital energy was as vast as the ocean, his fighting spirit as fierce as a raging fire, and his Dao heart as firm as a rock, unshakable.
Finally, on an ordinary day, Ye Fan survived his quasi-emperor ninth-level tribulation in a star field outside the Ancient Creation Star.
It was an earth-shattering tribulation of lightning.
The nine layers of heavenly thunder are more terrifying and frightening than the last.
When the final lightning tribulation descended, the entire star field was engulfed by lightning, countless stars exploded in the sea of lightning, the void collapsed, and chaos surged.
Ye Fan faced the lightning tribulation with his bare hands.
His holy body shone with golden light, every inch of his skin glowed, and every bone resonated.
His fists shattered one bolt of lightning after another, and his body withstood one calamity after another.
When he finally survived the tribulation and stood atop the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, the entire universe trembled.
He was the first person of his generation to delve into that field.
The news reached the ancient star of creation, causing a global sensation.
That day belonged to the 128th year of the Heavenly Emperor's Calendar.
"Ye Fan has reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor! How many years has he been cultivating?!"
"The Ancient Sacred Body has actually reached this point; such a feat is unprecedented!"
"As expected of someone valued by the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, he is indeed extraordinary!"
Countless people were amazed and shocked by it.
Ye Fan's cultivation speed has broken countless cultivation records. Although he is slightly slower than Du Mu, a god who spent more than a hundred years cultivating to the peak of the Great Sage, his subsequent progress is much more legendary than Du Mu's.
Du Mu reached the peak of the Great Sage realm in just over a hundred years. Not long after embarking on the path of cultivation, he demonstrated an astonishing speed of cultivation and was extremely strong among those of the same realm, and was considered to have the potential to become a Great Emperor.
As a result, he remained stuck at the peak of the Great Sage realm for his entire life, failing to break through and becoming a notorious laughingstock.
He could have become a great emperor, but he was greedy for records and the reputation of cultivating quickly, spending over a hundred years to break through to the peak of the Great Sage without solidifying his foundation.
Therefore, even at their peak, the Great Sage was an unparalleled figure who roamed the universe, extremely powerful, and in many instances, during the era without emperors, he could essentially be considered an uncrowned king. However, compared to the Great Emperor, the gap was too great.
That would make people laugh at you.
Ye Fan took a little longer than this person, but he broke through to the Quasi-Emperor realm and then continued to advance in the Quasi-Emperor realm without taking too much time.
The speed and speed of his cultivation were simply astonishing.
However, Ye Fan's ascent to the top did not discourage the other prodigies.
On the contrary, they were provoked to become even more frantic and work even harder.
Xia Jiuyou, the peerless genius who emerged from the Nine Netherworlds, also stepped into that realm in the third year after Ye Fan attained the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.
Her Netherworld Body emitted a dark light, as if connected to the Netherworld, which was extremely terrifying.
Her Daoist techniques were completely different from Ye Fan's, but equally powerful and awe-inspiring.
Following closely behind was Himeko.
The most dazzling prodigy of the Ji clan, he inherited the bloodline of the Ji family's supreme divine body and also received a portion of the inheritance of the Void Emperor.
He attained the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor status through the Dao of Void, becoming one with the void, appearing and disappearing without a trace, making him impossible to guard against.
Then came the Holy Prince.
The son of the Fighting Saint Emperor, he inherited the most powerful fighting bloodline of the ancient times.
His fighting prowess was unmatched among his peers; his iron fists were unstoppable and could conquer the world.
The day he ascended to the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, the entire starry sky trembled under his battle intent, and countless people felt the terrifying pressure from the lineage of the Primordial Fighting Saint Emperor.
They all had opportunities in the Jade Palace, obtaining the most top-tier inheritances and the modified version of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
Having obtained the Celestial Transformation Diagram, their cultivation speed was naturally unprecedented.
Following closely behind them, the top young talents of the Golden Generation also broke through one after another.
The daughter of the Dragon Emperor inherited his supreme dragon bloodline, transforming into a true dragon, soaring through the heavens, and possessing unparalleled power.
The descendants of the Golden Ancient Emperor, who proved their Dao through the Way of Gold, are radiant with golden light, like a war god forged from gold.
The children of the Ancient Emperor Qilin, each with a Qilin, the brother and sister together can fight against peerless powerhouses at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Huang Xudao, that mysterious and powerful young man, cultivates using the Phoenix Nirvana Path. Every breakthrough is accompanied by a rebirth from the ashes, making him so powerful that it inspires despair.
This group of people are the most dazzling geniuses of their time, and they are all qualified to challenge for the throne of the Great Emperor in the future.
They compete with each other, and each wins and loses, but neither can completely overpower the other.
Of course, the most special point is that the "Celestial Transformation Diagram" was made public with the appearance of Wang Mingyuan.
All those of the same generation were influenced by this scripture, and their overall spiritual progress accelerated.
However, just when everyone thought the landscape of this generation of prodigies was set, a shocking piece of news came out.
An unparalleled genius who rose to prominence overnight emerged.
His name is Ye Fan.
No, that's not right.
His name is Ye Yishui.
The child born to Ye Fan and Zixia from the Purple Mansion Holy Land.
Wang Mingyuan found it very strange, never expecting that the child would still have this name.
The birth of this child is a legend in itself.
His father was an ancient holy body, and his mother was a holy maiden of the Purple Mansion Holy Land. Their bloodline was so powerful that it was rare in ancient times.
The two of them combined to give birth once again to the legendary innate sacred body and Dao embryo.
The perfect union of the sacred body and the Dao embryo is a unique case throughout history, and it was achieved by the invincible and undefeated Emperor Wushi.
Throughout history, other ancient emperors and great emperors have had rivals on the Imperial Continent, but only Wu Shi is an exception. Anyone among the great emperors of the same realm who can withstand even one of his attacks can be considered a peerless genius.
Throughout the entire Imperial Road Competition, there have never been many who could withstand three or four of his moves.
He is the epitome of invincibility.
At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? A single glimpse reveals the beginningless Dao, and all is vanity.
This refers to the Great Emperor Wushi, who is the only one in the entire world to have such a title.
Now this physique has reappeared, and it has truly shown unparalleled brilliance, making even the ancient prince and the emperor's son pale in comparison.
Ye Yishui's appearance shocked everyone.
"Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo! This is the physique of the Great Emperor Wushi!"
"Ye Fan and Zixia actually had such a child, is this fate?"
Is another Great Emperor without beginning being born?
Countless people were discussing it, and countless people were shocked.
What's even more shocking is that the Black Emperor carried the child into Purple Mountain.
Purple Mountain, that is where the Great Emperor Wushi sleeps.
After the Great Emperor Wushi passed away, his remains were kept deep in the Purple Mountain and sealed by the Immortal Source.
The Boundless Bell, suspended in the Purple Mountain, emits a melodious chime, awaiting the destined one.
The Black Emperor was an old friend of the Great Emperor Wushi, and it knew everything about the Purple Mountain.
It carried Ye Yishui into Purple Mountain, deep into the core area, and successfully allowed Ye Yishui to obtain the entire inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi.
All of this was originally intended to deal with the dark turmoil.
If Wang Mingyuan had not appeared, and if the Dark Turmoil had broken out as scheduled, then Ye Yishui would have been one of the last hopes of this world.
He will inherit the mantle of the Great Emperor Wushi and become the force that suppresses darkness and turmoil.
However, Wang Mingyuan appeared.
He pacified all forbidden zones, suppressed all darkness and turmoil, and fundamentally changed the course of the world.
Ye Yishui received the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi, but had no opportunity to use her skills.
But this does not mean that this tradition is meaningless.
On the contrary, the legacy of the Great Emperor Wushi will become the strongest boost to Ye Yishui's rise.
When Ye Yishui emerged from Zishan, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing that of his peers.
Moreover, their cultivation speed is terrifyingly fast and their strength is terrifyingly strong.
He possesses an innate sacred body and Dao embryo, and has received the true teachings of the Great Emperor Wushi; his future is limitless.
Countless people marvel at how dazzling this era is.
Ye Fan, Xia Jiuyou, Ji Zi, the Holy Prince, the daughter of the Ten Thousand Dragons Emperor, the daughter of the Golden Ancient Empress, the children of the Qilin Bone Emperor, Huang Xudao... plus Ye Yishui, the number and strength of this generation of geniuses are unprecedented in history.
This is an era of brilliant stars, an era of flourishing talents, and an era that ignites passion.
And all of this is related to one person.
Chaos Emperor Wang Mingyuan.
He pacified the restricted area and cleared away all obstacles;
He revealed the method to achieve immortality, pointing out the way forward;
He was the one who revealed the Diagram of the Transformation of Heaven and Man, enabling everyone to evolve towards the strongest ancestral bloodline.
To enable everyone to become a king, a god, and ultimately evolve into a prince or an ancient prince.
It can even evolve into the Ancient Sacred Body or the Heavenly Overlord Body.
He created the ancient star, providing a sacred place for everyone to cultivate.
He is the sky, the earth, and the center of this era.
However, Wang Mingyuan was not satisfied with this.
His gaze had long since transcended this world, looking towards a more distant place.
He is invincible under the starry sky, overlooking heaven and earth.
Since pacifying the restricted area, he has mostly been in seclusion and has not gone out.
On this day, Wang Mingyuan left the Ancient Creation Star and stood beneath the starry sky. (End of Chapter)
