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

Thousands of years of hardship led Jiang Taixu to survive against all odds, giving birth to a wisp of immortal essence, which allowed him to accumulate enough for a second life. However, Jiang Taixu did not directly regain his life, but instead planned to achieve enlightenment in another way and try to prove his Dao again.

Chapter 326 Journey to the Immortal Realm

In the Celestial Realm, Yunhua suddenly sensed a change in the Immortal Domain. The Immortal King's sudden change of heart must indicate that something was happening, and Yunhua had no choice but to take it seriously.

"What happened?" The Empress noticed the change in Yunhua's expression immediately.

"Something has happened in the Immortal Realm, perhaps related to darkness and the Immortal King. I plan to go and investigate. You all guard the boundary barrier." Yun Hua is almost at the King-Emperor level now, but he hasn't been to the Immortal Realm yet. Now that something has happened there, it's a good time for him to go and see.

"How about I travel with the Heavenly Emperor? That way we can look out for each other." The Emperor knew that this matter involved the Immortal Realm and the Dark Realm, and there would definitely be considerable danger.

"No need. You are the only one who can unleash the power of a Celestial King. The Celestial Realm can have problems, but the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths cannot afford to be lost." Now, with Yun Hua gone, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths cannot even muster a single Celestial King. Going to the Celestial Realm would be of little use to them.

"I intend to complete my seventh transformation and live out my eighth life within a thousand years using your Nirvana Transformation Method." The Empress's meaning was clear: she planned to accelerate her transformation process so that she could help Yunhua.

"My inner world has been completed, but it needs a transformation to make my physique compatible with it. This will take about three thousand years to complete, at which time I will have the combat power of my seventh incarnation." The Azure Emperor is only in his second incarnation now because he is an immortal elixir, and taking immortal elixirs is useless to him.

"My fifth incarnation is also coming to an end." Wu Shi's progress has undoubtedly slowed down considerably, mainly because he has been fighting and killing in strange worlds. Although he has the strength of the seventh incarnation now, thanks to the Wu Shi Bell which has been fused with the Immortal Bell.

"I haven't quite grasped the pinnacle of immortality yet, but I've sensed some of the laws of immortal kings, and I also have an idea for the sixth secret realm." The Emperor Venerable has accumulated a lot, and his talent is no less than that of Empress Wu Shi and others.

"Everyone, I'm off." Yunhua disappeared from the celestial realm and arrived in the chaos near the Immortal Realm. He quickly broke through the chaos and arrived at the crystal wall of the Immortal Realm.

With his cultivation at Yunhua's current level, no boundary barrier can stop him anymore. Unless, like during the peak of the Immortal Realm, the entire world is covered with Immortal King-level walls and formations to defend against external enemies, nothing can hinder him for even a moment.

Yunhua's arrival in this world did not cause much of a stir; it was as simple as visiting a neighbor. The quasi-immortal emperor radiance surrounding him was not something that a mere crystal wall could block.

The Immortal Realm is vast and expansive. Even though it is no longer as complete as it once was, and is only a fragment, it is still awe-inspiring. It is much larger than the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the inner world. It is like a primordial ancient continent that stretches across the universe, surrounded by immortal clouds and engraved with the vicissitudes of time.

It is the center of this vast universe, surrounded by billions of stars, with one giant star after another rumbling around.

Before it was shattered, the Immortal Realm was formed by the fusion of countless universes. Each universe transformed into a star field within the Immortal Realm, interconnected and forming the boundless Immortal Realm.

How prosperous the Immortal Realm was back then! The kings of the Immortal Realm even built a great array and city walls that covered the entire Immortal Realm, and even Immortal Kings could not easily enter it.

But now, it is finally broken.

Although the fragments of the Immortal Realm are still comparable in size to an ordinary universe, the equally shattered Great Dao means that the beings living here are not in a good situation.

Even though the primordial energy of the universe is still abundant in the fragments of the Immortal Realm, and the essence of heaven and earth and the substances of longevity are still plentiful, allowing cultivators with lower cultivation levels to live for a long time—cultivators at the level of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Saints can live for millions of years and are known as indestructible through countless eons… However, the incomplete laws make the path of cultivation extremely difficult for cultivators here.

Just like the chaotic and flawed laws of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in ancient times, living in such a world would cause serious flaws in one's very foundation.

In addition, the abundant resources and peaceful environment here allow cultivators in the Immortal Realm fragments to cultivate in peace without having to fight.

This is precisely why, since the Immortal Realm shattered, throughout countless years, no new immortals have emerged from any of the fragments. The few fragments that do contain immortals are all remnants from before the Immortal Realm's destruction.

As for the new generation of cultivators, being able to cultivate to the Supreme level is already an incredible achievement!

The Immortal Realm... is devoid of immortals!

This situation of generational gap, compared to the equally stagnant Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, makes it difficult to judge whether the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths or the Immortal Realm is better.

Of course, the vast number of ordinary cultivators with mediocre talent and little ambition would probably prefer to live in the fragments of the Immortal Realm; only truly exceptionally talented geniuses would have the chance to choose the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, where the hope of becoming an immortal is greater.

Yunhua even suspected that the current situation in the Immortal Realm was something the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had done on purpose.

After all, even at its peak, the Immortal Realm was merely a domain slowly built up by a group of Immortal Kings. For an Immortal Emperor, repairing it would be a piece of cake...

As for the small immortal realm derived from the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin needed to repair the immortal realm, this was merely to complete the laws. Perhaps the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was too hasty in taking the Heavenly Court to the Upper Heaven, and the situation was so critical that he could not personally restore the immortal realm. He could only leave the complete laws of the immortal realm in the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, and then cut off the connection between the Boundary Sea and his homeland with a single sword.

Now, having personally arrived at this place that countless cultivators throughout history have longed for, looking at everything here, Yunhua felt utterly ridiculous.

The cultivators living here, trapped in their current realm for endless years due to the incomplete laws, probably dream of going to a universe with complete laws... They are heading in both directions towards what belongs to them!

Despite having a lifespan that would be the envy of all living beings in the heavens and earth, the cultivators here are not so happy.

"I don't know which side is more pitiful, the beings in the fragments of the Immortal Realm or the beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths..." Yunhua sighed.

As Yunhua descended directly into the fragment, the wind stopped, the clouds ceased, and the world fell silent.

Today, in this ancient cosmic sea, golden lotuses bloom everywhere, covering the entire universe and illuminating the darkness. All the heavens and myriad realms resound with the echoes of the Great Dao scriptures.

The Celestial King descended, bathed in the light of the tribulation rules of the heavens. With each breath, the resulting phenomena shook the universe, and even the cosmic sea trembled slightly.

Yun Hua's eyes shone brightly as she descended upon the Immortal Phoenix, a quasi-Immortal King level being. Standing in the void, her Immortal King Dharma Image filled the azure sky, with wisps of immortal mist surging forth, containing runes that were as red as blood diamonds, dazzlingly bright and piercing the heavens, unparalleled, and filled with a sacred aura.

His Dao Fruit is truly powerful, resonating with this world, causing all paths to converge and submit.

Chaos surged and blurred in the distant city. Several supreme beings appeared, all of them shocked. Their divine senses seemed to shatter, unable to withstand the pressure of the Immortal King level. They subconsciously wanted to kneel down, not daring to even breathe. Only those who came from the Immortal Realm could clearly recognize the terror of the Immortal King.

The Immortal Realm is vast, containing countless universes. In the chaotic ancient era, after that terrifying purge, the Immortal Realm was shattered, and the ancient Immortal Kings perished one after another. The universes they ruled were left desolate, with only a small number of universes still having True Immortals, far less than one-thousandth of their former glory.

This place is somewhat special; it has been desolate since the ancient times of immortality, and no true immortal-level beings have ever been born here.

Chapter 327 Immortal Realm Remnant Immortal

This statement is not entirely accurate. It should be said that this vast universe was originally a desolate borderland, and many of the great clans existing there were defeated warriors from the central region who were forced to migrate to this immortal land.

If there were true immortals, they wouldn't have left the ancient land to come here...

The supreme beings conversed, speculating about the origins and identity of that immortal king, and were quite moved.

They are all leaders of immortal lineages, and it is quite rare for them to gather together now.

The strongest being in this fragment of the immortal realm, Supreme Yuan Yang, was initially furious and wanted to lash out when someone suddenly appeared in front of him within his own territory. However, in the next instant, he felt a terrifying pressure that rendered him unable to move. He could only stare blankly as the person who had suddenly appeared scanned the surroundings with a leisurely and contemplative expression.

"This must be a legendary immortal!" the Chaos Supreme exclaimed in his heart, filled with terror.

After taking in everything within the fragment, Yunhua withdrew his aura.

This region, which had been in a state of stagnation, has finally regained its vitality.

"Boom!" At this moment, the 'Heavenly Will' that had also been frozen came to its senses. In the blink of an eye, endless law runes and a terrifying sea of ​​lightning gathered above Yun Hua's head.

"Hmm—" Yun Hua raised his eyes, looking upwards with a threatening expression, and dispelled the tribulation lightning with a single glance.

If he wanted, shattering this fragmented realm would be very easy.

"As expected of the Immortal Realm, the longevity substances are indeed more concentrated than in the Nine Heavens," Yun Hua chuckled, while also looking around with some curiosity.

Before me lay a landscape of green mountains and clear waters, a place brimming with vitality, surging with the essence of chaos, and radiating celestial energy, like smoke and rosy clouds, the rich essence of heaven and earth transformed into a liquid.

Yunhua noticed that the people in the Immortal Realm all had a calm and unhurried feeling. They were not anxious about cultivation at all, nor did they try any particular methods to cultivate. Instead, they had a natural attitude.

"Living a long life and not being threatened by any life-or-death crises is so comfortable!" Yunhua laughed as well. Apart from occasional cultivation, these cultivators actually spent most of their time enjoying life.

When you have nothing to do, brew a cup of tea, chat about metaphysics and Taoism. There's no need for deliberate cultivation or seclusion; just let your cultivation proceed naturally.

Although their cultivation levels are not high, this attitude towards cultivation makes their foundation exceptionally solid, eliminating any worry about them suffering from cultivation deviation. This is something that the world of "Covering the Sky" is far inferior to.

There are too many geniuses in the world of Shrouding the Heavens who have gone mad from practicing cultivation techniques. Ye Fan's old flame, Qin Yao, died from this, as did the Demon Emperor's lover.

The reason they went astray in their cultivation was because they were too eager for quick success and instant benefits. If they had the same casual attitude towards cultivation, they would have gone astray in their cultivation.

"But it's also a good opportunity to see what good things this immortal realm has." At the same time, Yun Hua's brow glowed, and his vast divine sense swept across the entire world in an instant.

In an instant, the entire world's terrain, countless powerful beings, and even some hidden places manifested in Yun Hua's mind, giving him a completely new understanding of the entire Immortal Realm fragment.

Yunhua paid no attention to these powerful figures; there were no true immortals in this fragment of the immortal realm.

With a single thought, a pure white immortal figure traversed the heavens and earth, divine thoughts spreading like a waterfall, cloud-like finger shadows changing, and chaotic light surging beneath his feet. A great path pierced through the ancient universe, heading towards the vast sea of ​​stars.

The moment Yunhua's true form disappeared from this universe, it appeared in another fragment of a celestial realm.

The coordinates he chose to descend upon were also those of the strongest beings in this world…

Before Yunhua descended upon the Immortal Realm, this True Immortal, who had dominated this world for countless years, sensed something was amiss.

"what is going on?"

After some calculations, the True Immortal Panheng, who spat out a mouthful of blood, still gained nothing and looked utterly bewildered.

Several days ago, when Yunhua sensed a change in the Immortal Realm, this True Immortal also had a sudden feeling of unease, sensing that some great change was about to happen and that his future was bleak.

But no matter how much the True Immortal Panheng calculated or how much he paid to observe the future, he could not find out what was going on. He could only feel that he had nowhere to escape!

"The last time we encountered a situation where we couldn't calculate anything was at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era, during the Great Cleansing. At that time, many Immortal Kings fought fiercely, and even those who broke through to become Emperors fought to the death!"

"Now... it's another turning point in history!?" Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he murmured with a trembling voice, "But this time, do I even have the luck to survive?"

"What good is mastering the art of celestial secrets? If something truly terrible happens, I'm powerless! I can only leave it to fate! If... the Desolate Emperor were still here, that would be great..." In the end, True Immortal Panheng could only laugh self-deprecatingly.

But in fact, this matter is not comparable to the Great Cleansing of Chaos at all. It's just that his strength is too low, which is why he can't calculate anything.

His attempt to probe the secrets of heaven was actually detected by Yunhua, who sensed the presence of a true immortal here and thus came to investigate.

This fragment of the Immortal Realm is not the closest to the previous fragment of the Immortal Realm in the chaos. The reason why Yunhua descended directly here is because he sensed the spying from this side.

Otherwise, following the principle of proximity, searching through each fragmented realm one by one would take a very long time to get here...

Therefore, the Immortal Panheng, who was proficient in the art of celestial secrets, was the key factor that allowed Yunhua to descend directly!

After feeling threatened yet completely lost and restless for several days, the Immortal Panheng finally reached the turning point of his destiny...

Without a sound, a ray of light appeared, and Yunhua appeared before him.

Pan Heng Zhenxian only saw a white-robed man appear out of nowhere, and then an intense presence, like an explosion, appeared from nothing and grew from small to large, filling the entire world in an instant.

At this moment, the figure that appeared before the True Immortal Panheng was the center of the universe, majestic and transcendent, and incredibly powerful, simply by standing there.

"Immortal King!?" The sudden appearance of the person made the hairs on Panheng True Immortal's body stand on end.

He hadn't seen anyone surpass him in so long, and now, suddenly seeing a Celestial King, it felt like seeing a ghost...

Pan Heng Zhenxian almost knelt down!

After all, he had lived through the era when the kings of the Immortal Realm were high and mighty, and he was well aware of the gap between himself and the Immortal Kings.

But in the end, his past experiences gave True Immortal Panheng a bit of confidence. "This humble immortal Panheng greets the Immortal King... The Immortal Realm is a place where the wings of the Desolate Heaven Emperor are sheltered. What brings you here, Your Majesty Immortal King?" he asked, bowing.

"Heh~ The Desolate Heavenly Emperor, huh?"

Yun Hua chuckled. Before coming here, he had already used the Heavenly Secrets Technique to understand everything about this realm. Naturally, there were no secrets about Pan Heng True Immortal to him. However, he still couldn't help but find it amusing to hear the other party use the Desolate Heaven Emperor to intimidate him.

His laughter might have misled True Immortal Pan Heng, who said with a serious expression, "The supreme and great Desolate Heaven Emperor is..."

"I know the Desolate Emperor better than you!" Yun Hua, unwilling to listen to the retelling of the infant's glorious achievements, raised an eyebrow and interrupted directly, then slowly revealed his origins, "I am a Celestial King from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!"

Chapter 328 That Sword Light

"Gah!" Pan Heng Zhenxian, who was interrupted, was originally going to be angry to maintain the dignity of Huangtian Emperor, but after hearing Yunhua's next words, he was so surprised that he made a strange sound.

Then, with a joyful expression, he said, "Your Majesty, we are on the same side! I participated in the great war between the Heavenly Court and the cultivators of the Immortal Realm and the Dark Clan, and even killed two True Immortals from the Dark Clan..."

"...Finally, we've found our pillar of support!"

Although Pan Heng had his doubts, he appeared delighted, showing complete trust in Yun Hua and acting as if he would follow Yun Hua's lead without question.

"Are you a member of the Heavenly Court?" Yunhua asked coldly.

Pan Heng Zhenxian's eyes flickered, but in the end he did not lie, "No... this humble immortal does not have that honor."

"At that time, the Dark Clan wanted to wipe out the entire Immortal Realm. Your intervention was only to protect yourself, so you could barely be considered 'one of us'... But back then, the Immortal Realm took advantage of our vulnerability and harvested the essence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, plunging the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths into the end of Dharma. What do you say about this?" Yunhua continued to ask.

“That…is the behavior of some Immortal Kings. I am just a nobody. What merit do I have to interfere with decisions at that level?” Pan Heng said in a hoarse voice.

“Back then, after the Desolate Heaven Emperor rose to power, he had already carried out a purge. Those Immortal Kings who were hostile to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are all dead…” Pan Heng explained with a bitter expression.

"Never mind, I came here because I sensed something amiss in the Immortal Realm not long ago, perhaps an invasion by the Dark Immortal King, so I came to investigate." Yun Hua was too lazy to mince words and went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, I also sensed a change in the Immortal Realm, but I couldn't deduce it." Pan Heng was also extremely helpless. The reason for the change in the Immortal Realm was that he had suffered a Dao injury.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Tell me the direction of the Boundary Sea." Since the Immortal Realm was separated from the Boundary Sea by the baby's sword, Yunhua didn't know which fragment of the Immortal Realm was closest to the Boundary Sea, so he could only ask the locals.

"May Your Majesty have a safe journey. The Dark Netherworld is the closest to the Boundary Sea. These are the coordinates of the Dark Netherworld."

Soon, Yunhua learned the location of the other side of the Boundary Sea and immediately rushed forward.

A white figure, radiant as the morning glow and flowing with the light of an immortal king, traversed an endless sea amidst ethereal light.

This vast sea is a chaotic cosmic sea formed after the Immortal Realm was shattered during the Great Cleansing Era. It is filled with primordial chaotic energy, which is divided into yin and yang. In the misty atmosphere, it is as if an era has been opened, as if a period of time has been buried. It is as vast as dust, as if an era of the opening of all heavens has arrived.

A white shadow traverses the Immortal Realm Sea, embodying the image of ascension in broad daylight. Within it lies a chaotic figure, entangled in the flames of immortal tribulation, impervious to all laws, indestructible through countless calamities, and eternally existing—the strongest symbol of the Great Dao.

Many true immortals in the immortal realm were alarmed and awoke from their seclusion.

But few dared to make a move. Moved by the celestial light emanating from the Immortal King's Dharma form, all the divine thoughts that were testing him or even trying to suppress him retreated.

People realized that an unparalleled giant had descended upon the Immortal Realm. This was a giant among the Immortal Kings, terrifying beyond measure. If one were to casually make an enemy of such a powerful figure, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if they were awakened, no one would be willing to attack directly; it would be better to leave it to someone else to be the first to act.
