A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

"Of course, relying solely on the current cycle of reincarnation is not enough. Fellow Daoist Immortal Monk Wang's attainments in the Dao of Reincarnation are no less than mine, and I will invite him to join me in devising a plan," Liu Dao replied.

"Reincarnation alone is not enough. I will take action to add the way of time to the cycle of reincarnation in the human world."

"This formation may not be able to withstand the invasion from the alien realm and will eventually fall, but as long as it plays its due role and helps us severely damage the alien army, that will be enough," Wu Zhong whispered.

"Good. With the cycle of reincarnation and the passage of time, plus the ambush by the kings of my realm, we can wait in comfort and prepare to give the foreign lands a good beating." The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King nodded.

"Then I will go to the Immortal Realm to contact the kings there and let them know about this so that reinforcements can arrive in time." With nothing else to do, Yunhua decided to go and see the Immortal Realm at its most powerful during the Immortal Ancient Era.

It should be noted that during the era of Shrouding the Heavens, there were very few flawless True Immortals in the Immortal Realm; most were crippled Immortals, whose combat power was even inferior to that of the Second Emperor.

The three immediately set off for the Great Dao Heaven, the ancestral home of the ancient monk lineage, to discuss the layout of reincarnation with the Immortal Monk King, while Yunhua went to the Immortal Realm.

In the Immortal Realm, an ancient universe, Yunhua arrived.

Upon entering this place, he felt the prosperity of this universe, with one brilliant source of life after another scattered like stars in the vast cosmos.

This place is rich in immortal energy, permeated with the laws of the Great Dao, and blessed with outstanding people and abundant resources. It has been one of the most prosperous regions in the Immortal Realm since ancient times, ruled by an ancient giant. The years it has endured are incredibly long and unimaginable, longer than the ages of most Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm. Throughout this time, it has always been peaceful and serene.

All of this is thanks to the master of the universe—that giant, whose fame is renowned and awe-inspiring, leaving behind countless legends in the Immortal Realm. With him in charge, no one dares to cause trouble here.

Looking towards the central area, Yunhua saw the Immortal King City, ancient and magnificent, standing tall in the depths of the universe, exuding unparalleled power.

He did not go to Immortal King City because the giant was not in the city, but was in seclusion in another ancient land.

Yunhua took a step forward, and fragments of time flew around, as if he had transcended time and space. Now, Yunhua's understanding of the laws of time and space has almost reached the limit of a Celestial King.

The perfection of the Time-Space Dao Fruit has enabled Yunhua to make a leap in both his cultivation and combat power. If he were to fight Wushang again now, he could crush Wushang even in his prime.

As time passed, Yunhua arrived at his destination. He descended upon a life-bearing star and landed before a majestic ancient mountain.

The mountain is lush and verdant, with abundant forests, where celestial birds fly, waterfalls cascade down, and clouds and mist, formed from celestial energy, swirl around the mountainside, creating a sacred atmosphere. It is clearly a pure land of immortals.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a simple mountain gate. Two childlike beings sat cross-legged on a futon, in a strange posture, already in deep meditation. With their breath, all the essence of heaven and earth was drawn in and flowed into their bodies.

Yunhua approached without the two boys noticing until she got close, at which point they were startled to realize what was happening.

They immediately stopped breathing and curiously looked at the newcomer.

Upon realizing that the smiling young man before them was unfathomable and possessed an aura as vast as the ocean, the two boys immediately rose and bowed to Yun Hua.

Chapter 624 Visiting the Giants of the Immortal Realm

They are all true immortals. The only being that a true immortal cannot see through is a Celestial King.

"May I ask who you are, senior...?"

The two boys asked cautiously. They had been here for several epochs, only venturing out a few times, and were completely unaware of the outside world.

There was nothing they could do; their master, that giant of the Immortal Realm, was researching the path to breaking through to the King level, and it was normal for him not to appear for more than a dozen epochs.

“My name is Yunhua. I attained enlightenment and became a king several hundred years ago. Today, I have important business to discuss with your master.”

"To become king hundreds of years ago?"

The two boys looked surprised. The last time they went out was in the previous era, so they had never heard of Yunhua's name.

To be a disciple of a powerful figure, one must endure the passage of time and loneliness, and be isolated from the world.

"I see. Please wait a moment, Senior Wang. I will go and inform them immediately."

A young boy bowed, then turned and walked through the mountain gate.

Yunhua stood with her hands behind her back, waiting quietly, not in a hurry.

Before long, the boy returned and made a welcoming gesture: "The Patriarch has responded and invites Senior Wang to come in for a chat."

Yunhua nodded and followed the Daoist boy up the mountain. The environment here was very quiet and peaceful, truly a rare tranquil place. In addition, the mountain had an extraordinary atmosphere and held a hidden secret. The fact that the giant chose to seclude himself here to study the path to becoming a king must have its reasons.

However, Yunhua had no interest in this place. His path to becoming a king was already clear, and he only needed to move forward step by step.

When they reached the mountainside, the boy led the way into a cave. Deep inside the cave, Yunhua met the famous giant of the Immortal Realm.

He was very old, with a scraggly beard and disheveled hair, looking unkempt. Only his Taoist robe was clean. The place where he sat cross-legged was covered with all sorts of terrifying marks, the imprints left from his research on the Path to Breaking the King.

"My humble abode is simple and unassuming; I hope you will forgive my rudeness, fellow Daoist," the tycoon of the Immortal Realm said with a smile. His eyes, shining through his disheveled hair, resembled two ancient golden lamps, leaving a deep impression on the viewer.

Very strong! That was Yun Hua's first impression. He could sense it just from the aura alone; this giant was a formidable opponent.

Not only him, but also the giants of the Immortal Realm sensed Yun Hua's power. The smiles on their faces vanished abruptly, replaced by shock.

The young Taoist said that the visitor was a Celestial King from the Immortal Realm who had just attained enlightenment a few hundred years ago. He had thought he was some exceptionally talented young man, but who would have thought that he was actually a powerful giant on the same level as himself? It was a bit too exaggerated to have reached this level in just a few hundred years. Does such an extraordinary being really exist in the world?

The celestial realm's giant was momentarily stunned.

"Not at all. The imprints here alone are enough to greatly benefit even a Celestial King-level expert. How can you call it rudimentary?" Yun Hua shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me," the giant murmured.

Then he said, "Although I am in seclusion, diligently studying the Great Dao, I still sensed the changes in the heavenly secrets. It turns out that it was caused by Fellow Daoist Yun's attainment of the Immortal King Dao."

"I suppose so. I encountered an invasion from another realm as soon as I was born. I, Yunhua, have met Fellow Daoist Qi Yu before. I have come uninvited. If I have disturbed you, please forgive me. It was an extremely urgent matter, and I had no choice but to come." Yunhua cupped his hands in greeting.

Yunhua's Immortal King Tribulation was blocked by that stone hairpin. It has to be said that it is indeed worthy of being an object left behind by that person. The divine power of the Sacrifice Dao Realm is hard to comprehend.

Qi Yu dared not be negligent, for the creature before him was one that could rival him and could not be judged by ordinary standards.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Please feel free to speak if you have any urgent matters to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Yunhua did not hesitate and directly explained her purpose.

Upon hearing the news that the alien realm was about to attack the Primordial Ancient Realm and that the Dark Immortal King was about to attack the Immortal Realm, Qi Yu was greatly surprised.

If Yunhua hadn't come, he probably wouldn't have known even if the outside world were in turmoil, unless someone came to the gates of this mountain and asked him to take action.

The other major figures in the Immortal Realm are in a similar situation, all in seclusion, and will only appear when the Immortal Realm faces the threat of destruction.

"Fellow Daoist, you've come to me because you want me to suppress the dark turmoil?" Qi Yu immediately understood Yun Hua's purpose.

"Exactly. If the great war breaks out and the Immortal Realm is bogged down and unable to effectively support the Primordial Ancient Realm, then the Other Realm may win and destroy the Primordial Ancient Realm."

That's a buffer zone, a barrier, between the Immortal Realm and the Other Realm. As the saying goes, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," we can't turn a blind eye and let it go unchecked." Yunhua nodded.

Qi Yu did not hesitate for long and readily agreed to Yun Hua's request.

"The Immortal Realm is the homeland of immortals, a pure land for immortals. How can it allow dark creatures to set foot here?"

"If I didn't know, so be it. Now that I know, I certainly won't allow dark creatures to run rampant across the Immortal Realm." Qi Yu responded.

If the dark turmoil Yunhua spoke of truly breaks out, then he will take ruthless action to suppress the unrest.

With the promise from Qi Yu, a veteran giant in the Immortal Realm, Yun Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

If the king who quells the rebellion only has him, Liu Shen, and Wuzhong Liudao as the four giants, and if the dark camp is strong and has dark giants in charge, and cannot suppress it in a short time, then the plan to support the Primordial Ancient Realm will fall through.

Now that Qi Yu, a veteran industry leader, has joined the company, Yunhua can rest assured.

It should be noted that Qi Yu is currently the number one Immortal King remaining in the Immortal Realm, capable of competing with immortal giants such as Kun Di and Wu Shang. With him in charge, suppressing the Dark Turmoil is not a problem at all.

In this way, Yunhua can free up his hands and focus on helping the Primordial Ancient Realm fight against the alien realm.

He discussed the details with Qi Yu, then took his leave and headed to another ancient universe.

Qi Yu is not the only powerful figure in the Immortal Realm. Yun Hua plans to visit them one by one and ask them to lend a hand.

After all, the faster the dark turmoil in the Immortal Realm ends, the more advantageous it will be for the war situation in the Primordial Ancient Realm.

With the Immortal Realm providing continuous support, no matter how strong the alien realm is, it can only be in vain.

Not long after, Yunhua visited the secluded cultivation sites of the four giants. Two of them were at a critical moment and were unable to leave their seclusion, so Yunhua did not forcibly disturb them. The other two giants, upon learning of the impending darkness, readily agreed to help.

In this way, the Immortal Realm will have five giants who can fight, plus a group of top Immortal Kings. No matter how strong the Dark Faction is, they will not escape being crushed.

After doing all this, Yunhua returned to the original imperial city of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

His trip was to visit the giants, and now he has completed his mission and achieved his goal: to get the three giants to take action.

As for the other Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm, they cannot spread the news without knowing which four beings are the Dark Pawns, as doing so would alert them.

If the Dark Pawns learn that the Immortal Realm is opening its pockets and waiting for them to jump out, they will inevitably choose to abandon their plan to attack the Immortal Realm. In this case, the pawns that should have been exposed will continue to hide, becoming a thorn rooted in the Immortal Realm, and may betray the Immortal Realm at any time.

This time, Yunhua saw through their plan and made preparations in advance. But next time, things might be different. Enemies hiding in the shadows are the most dangerous, as they are hard to guard against.

Chapter 625 The tree desires stillness, but the wind never ceases

In the primordial ancient realm, the kings, led by Liu Dao Wu Zhong, began preparations for war. They opened their treasure troves, which had been sealed for many years, and spared no expense in taking out endless treasures and immortal materials, even some of their most treasured weapons.

With a blood oath in hand, no one dares to cut corners or go to their full strength.

Soon, on the borderlands bordering the alien realm, some long-abandoned interdimensional passages were visited. Each one was incredibly ancient, having been sealed for several, or even a dozen, epochs.

In the past, these interdimensional passages were the site of fierce interdimensional wars, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Later, they were all sealed, and no one has visited or opened them for countless years.

Now, the kings have descended and set up layers of Immortal King-level formations outside these passages. Even if they themselves were trapped inside, they would not be able to escape for a while. Unless a giant is leading the way, it would be more than enough to trap the Immortal King.

In the ancestral land of the ancient monk lineage, Wuzhong, Lunhui, and a young ancient monk stood before the Bodhi tree, their eyes shining brightly as they looked down upon the six realms of reincarnation beneath the tree.

This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which the Immortal Monk King built with great effort. It is similar to the human reincarnation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King, but also has some differences, and can complement each other.

When the two giants arrived and explained their purpose, the Immortal Monk King gladly welcomed them and led them on a tour of the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Ancient Monk Lineage.

"Absolutely breathtaking," commented the Immortal King Wuzhong.

"Fellow Daoist Wuzhong, you flatter me. The reincarnation I teach is far inferior to that of Fellow Daoist Liudao." The Immortal Monk King clasped his hands together, a string of crystal prayer beads hanging between his thumbs, shining brightly and faintly revealing mysterious patterns.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King shook his head slightly: "Immortal Monk King is too modest. In terms of understanding reincarnation, you and I are about equal."

The Immortal Monk Wang smiled slightly, offering no further rebuttal. Instead, he sighed and softly asked, "Fellow Daoists, is the guardian beast of my sect—the Fearless Lion—truly a pawn from another realm?"

“Yes, I have carefully observed its past. There are traces of the Crimson King from another realm making a move, enough to fool the other ancient realm immortal kings besides me.” Wudian nodded and replied.

The immortal monk Wang Wuyan recalled that back then, this lion was an absolute ferocity. It established its own territory in the ancient primordial world, devoured ancient kingdoms, and countless living beings became its prey. Its fearsome reputation was so great that people turned pale at the mere mention of it.

Later, it ran into a brick wall and attacked an ancient monk who was traveling the world. The monk was a celestial being with boundless magical power, but the fearless lion fought it to the death and swallowed it whole.

So the Immortal Monk King personally subdued the Fearless Lion, converted it, and made it the sacred guardian beast of the ancient monk lineage, thinking that chanting Buddhist scriptures all day long could help it drive away the evil spirit in its heart. Who would have thought that the Fearless Lion's evil spirit was so deeply rooted that it had never been dispelled.

That is why, when alien creatures made contact with it and offered it great benefits, the fearless lion agreed to serve the alien world.

"When the great war breaks out, this humble monk will personally take action to clean up the mess," the Immortal Monk King said with a sigh.

The traitor came from the lineage of the ancient monks, so he naturally lost face.

"It's almost here. This lion's expression has been quite changeable lately, which is a sign that war is imminent. We must perfect the cycle of reincarnation in the human world as soon as possible to avoid any mishaps later," said the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King.

Wu Zhong and the Immortal Monk King nodded and began to repair and improve the cycle of reincarnation in the human world, aiming to transform it into the ultimate killing array.

On the other side, in the abyss where the dragon race dwells, the Second Silent One stands, his entire being hidden in the void, silently watching the depths below.

There, a colossal demonic dragon coiled at the bottom of the abyss, its entire body dark, covered in scales, and wreathed in terrifying demonic flames.

It was the progenitor of the Demon Dragon clan, a supreme expert among True Immortals, only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal King. At this moment, with the great battle approaching, even with its cultivation and strength, it couldn't help but feel tense and anxious.

The reason is simple: it reached an agreement with the alien realm to open the gates wide when the alien army arrived, allowing them to pass through. Then, it would act as a guide, leading the alien army straight to the important figures of the ancient realm to kill them, in order to quickly defeat the original ancient realm.

The thought that this battle would involve the Celestial Kings, and that an entire world would be destroyed, with countless living beings dying without a burial place, and even those well-known, eternally revered Celestial Kings would perish, filled the Demon Dragon with both excitement and fear.

This is a scheme against the Celestial King.

After a fierce internal struggle, the demonic dragon gradually calmed down. It thought of the promise made by the foreign land, which was really tempting. They would do their best to help it become a Celestial King, and whether it succeeded or not, they would treat it like an emperor.

The Imperial Clan is a race on par with the Immortal King Clan; their status is simply unimaginable. Thinking of this, the Demon Dragon felt a surge of excitement and couldn't help but want to roar to the heavens.

Among the primordial dragon races of the ancient world, the demon dragon race is nothing. Not to mention the true dragon race, it is far inferior to even the primordial dragon race represented by the second-best in the world.

After enduring countless eras, it remained stuck at the level of a quasi-immortal king, making little progress, and dared not even dream of the so-called true name of the dragon.

But now, the alien realm has given it a chance to defy fate. If it seizes the opportunity, it has a great chance to become a king, or at the very least, reach the level of the Ten Fiends.

The entire dragon race's disciples and descendants would also soar with it, becoming descendants of an imperial clan from another realm. This benefit was simply too tempting, and it had no reason to refuse.

As for the original ancient world of the mother realm, it doesn't care at all. What's the point of protecting this world? Can it help its cultivation advance even a little bit?

Beyond the abyss, the second-best observer in the world gazed down, taking in every expression on the demonic dragon's face and every change in its eyes.

He sighed softly, fully aware of what the dragon was thinking.

Who doesn't yearn for the name of the true dragon?

Look at the current leader of the Ten Fiends, Zhenlong. He was originally at the same level as him. The two fought fiercely for the title of Dragon's True Name. In the end, he was defeated by one move and watched helplessly as Zhenlong obtained the title of Dragon's True Name.

Since then, he has become the second best in the world and is well-known to the world, while Zhenlong has risen to the top and, with the blessing of the name of Zhenlong, has become the supreme immortal king.

If the two were to fight again now, the second-best in the world would be no match for him, and he would not suffer a narrow defeat like he did back then; he would be defeated by the true dragon without any suspense.
