Man is in the heavens, parasites are born

Chapter 250 The Road to Emperorship (One more chapter updated)
In a magnificent palace in the Heavenly Court, many powerful figures offered up their own Dao Fruits, causing them to release the radiance of the Great Dao and reveal the profound mysteries of their own Great Dao.

Profound and mysterious Dao sounds emanated from these Dao fruits, elucidating the profound mysteries of their respective Great Daos.

Of course, not everyone released their Dao Fruits at the beginning, because for cultivators in the Emperor's World, Dao Fruits are fundamental; if their Dao Fruits are destroyed, they are finished.

The cultivators on Ye Fan's side are different. The Dao Fruit is merely an external manifestation of their cultivation and will not harm their fundamental nature.

However, as time went by, they saw that their fellow practitioners had grown remarkably in cultivation and that there was indeed no danger. Unable to contain themselves, they all offered up their own Dao fruits and joined the discussion.

Of course, although it is called a discussion of the Dao, there are actually not many people who can truly participate in the discussion.

At first, Daojun and Tianjun were able to get involved, but after only two days, they were completely bewildered, as it was beyond their comprehension.

Soon, someone came and led them to the true foundational world to communicate with powerful individuals of similar levels.

In the end, only six people remained: Jiang Nan, Ye Lin, Qing Lian, Yuan Mu, Bu Kong, and Gong Zhiqian, who were truly discussing the Dao with the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court.

Although the Celestial Venerable and the Dao Lord are in the same realm, there is a fundamental difference between them; their strength and cultivation are not on the same level.

The Dao Fruit of the Immortal Emperor of No Beginning hangs in the air, fully evolving its own profound mysteries without beginning or end. One can see that within the radiant light of the perfect Great Dao, the Dao Sea is constantly being born.

He made no attempt to conceal the profound mysteries of the Dao.

"Is this the Immortal Emperor of the End of the Road?" Jiang Nan's eyes showed surprise as he looked at the scene that appeared in the Boundless Dao Fruit.

Countless Great Daos evolved simultaneously, giving birth to countless Dao Seas. Then, these infinite Dao Seas were merged into a single point, transforming into a Dao Sea that was countless times more powerful than the previous countless Dao Seas. At the same time as this Dao Sea was born, endless Dao Seas of the same level were also born. Then, these Dao Seas of the same level were once again gathered into an even stronger Dao Sea, and then endless Dao Seas of the same level appeared again...

The Dao Sea is boundless, and endless Dao Seas appear and are merged to become even stronger Dao Seas; this is an endless cycle...

Thus, the Immortal Emperor who triumphed over the Dao was born.

If Fang Ming were here to see this scene, he would surely make some connections.

Ye Lin, Qing Lian, and Bu Kong were even more shocked. Their mid-term goal was merely to cultivate a Dao Sea, but this person's Dao Fruit contained an unimaginable Dao Sea.

Such a vast number of Dao Seas cannot be described by numbers. No wonder it eventually triumphed over the Dao itself and became a Dao on its own!

Such skill is not just a little bit higher, but immeasurably higher.

The other powerful figures from the two Heavenly Courts also offered up their own Dao Fruits. They were not Immortal Emperors, and their Dao Fruits did not have that sense of perfection and completeness.

Even if some of them are evolved from Dao Seas, and some are not just Dao Seas, they cannot become Immortal Emperors as long as they cannot expand without limit.

A hundred years later, the Primordial Mother put away her Dao Fruit, stood up and bowed to Wushi, then walked to the side and listened attentively to the Dao Sound.

During the discussion just now, she heard nothing but the evolution of some kind of Great Dao similar to her own, which gave her some clues about the path ahead.

Originally, she wasn't very confident in cultivating to the Dao Sea realm, but now she's quite confident.

Another hundred years have passed. Apart from Jiangnan, the other Heavenly Venerables have each put away their Dao Fruits and occupied a side.

They all gained a great deal, especially Ye Lin, who was very close to the end of the Great Dao that he had previously envisioned.

However, two hundred years later, Jiangnan's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the Great Perfection of Dao Lord at an unimaginable speed, and his strength surpassed that of the others.

Two hundred years later, Jiang Nan put away his Dao Fruit, stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed.

The Primordial Great Dao has not achieved true perfection, so it is impossible for it to surpass the Immortal Emperor.

However, if it were to reach perfection, judging from the characteristics of the Primordial Great Dao and the scene reflected by the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit that we just saw, it would probably be possible to discuss it indefinitely.

Wu Shi returned the greeting with a bow. Experiencing a completely different cultivation civilization and a completely different path was of great benefit to him, allowing his Immortal Emperor foundation to be strengthened and his cultivation to grow more rapidly.

After a discussion, the Heavenly Court placed them in two enormous palaces, and except for a few special areas, their movements were not restricted.

Inside the main hall of a palace, many powerful figures from the Jiangnan faction gathered.

"This time I've really broadened my horizons, but I feel like I've wasted over a hundred billion years of my life..." Gongzhiqian muttered to himself as he sipped his tea.

Although I can see the road ahead, I don't seem very happy.

Yuanmu rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Alright, you're acting innocent after getting the benefit. Stop feeling guilty all the time. If you're so capable, then cultivate to become an Immortal Emperor and directly reflect the Yuandao Era in the future."

Gong Zhiqian shrank back after being rebuffed. Although he wasn't sure, it didn't matter, because he still had his best friend by his side!

He looked at Jiangnan and asked, "Dijiang, you have already reached the Great Perfection of Dao Lord, do you have any ideas on how to become the Primordial Beginning?"

He had learned from Jiangnan that Yuanshi was roughly on the same level as the Immortal Emperor, and that he could acquire all the abilities of the Immortal Emperor simply by changing his thinking.

But for them, reaching the Dao Lord Perfection is just the beginning; too many people are stuck here.

Jiang Nan smiled confidently and said, "Originally, I planned to wait until my own Annihilation Tribulation arrived, then refine my final Annihilation Tribulation and give it a shot. But after seeing how that Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit evolved, I have some ideas."

“Perhaps we won’t have to wait that long.” Jiang Nan smiled confidently and said, “It could take tens of millions of years, or even a million years. If I succeed, it might be even sooner.”

"So fast?" Gongzhi Qian and Yuanmu were very surprised.

The final annihilation of the Immortal Era is still at least two billion years away, while they thought Jiangnan would need at least hundreds of millions of years.

"Once you grasp it, it will naturally be fast," Jiang Nan said with a smile. Different cultivation systems result in different speeds of improvement in one's cultivation level. Some systems can achieve unimaginable progress in tens of thousands of years, while others are extremely slow.

"But now I owe them a huge favor." Jiang Nan then gave a wry smile.

This is preaching without reservation, it's extraordinary.

He doesn't know how he'll ever be able to repay such a favor, even though the person doesn't seem like the type to take advantage of a debt.

But the feeling of owing favors to others made him uneasy.

"However, the Heavenly Court in this foreign land still has formidable enemies outside. When I achieve great success in my cultivation in the future, I can lend them a helping hand and repay some of their debts." This thought arose in Jiang Nan's mind.

“Moreover, my Primordial Dao is different. It contains the known and the unknown, the possible and the impossible, and is equivalent to the body of the Supreme Dao. Although the Immortal Emperor has his own Dao and the number of Daos he contains is also infinite, his level may not be as high as mine!” Jiang Nan’s eyes flickered as he whispered, “Although the Immortal Emperor has his own Dao, because he has not contained all the Daos, he should still have some intersections with some Daos.”

“But I am different. Theoretically speaking, if one cultivates to the Primordial Beginning and then forms one’s own path, it will truly be in sync with the original Supreme Dao, without any overlap. Relatively speaking, it will only be stronger,” Jiang Nan said with unwavering confidence.

After years of contemplation, he finally understood the difference between the two philosophies and what kind of achievements he could make by transforming his path after it had come to an end.

Six hundred years later, the many powerful figures who had come from the Emperor's World to exchange ideas returned to their original worlds.

This trip was incredibly fruitful. Under normal circumstances, most people would not have gained as much as they have in a hundred billion or even tens of billions of years of cultivation. They need to go back and go into seclusion to digest what they have learned.

On the other side is the foundational world where Shi Hao's Heavenly Court is located, where Fang Ming and Ye Fan are both.

At their level, restoring themselves naturally doesn't require meditation or cultivation; they can recover on their own.

"How does the origin of the Soul River taste?" Shi Hao asked Fang Ming with a smile.

Not long ago, after reflecting the heavens, Shi Hao and Ye Fan approached Fang Ming, intending to test and provoke the strange race to see how much courage they still had.

Since the Celestial Emperor of the Mysterious Clan has become cowardly, he is about to strike with full force.

Just then, Liu Shen also successfully broke through and became a true Dao Ancestor Quasi-Immortal Emperor!

Thus, the River of Souls became his target. The River of Souls controls a portion of the reincarnation authority and holds a very important position among the strange race.

Under Shi Hao's deliberate influence, the Shi Hao of this time and space unleashed the power of his Great Transformation Technique. Together with Liu Shen, they annihilated all the Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Soul River and completely suppressed the origin of the Soul River.

Since the origin of the Soul River has been suppressed, it naturally benefits Fang Ming, who is not far from becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

However, the essence of this vast world was slightly insufficient, preventing him from completely crossing that threshold.

Fang Ming's figure laughed, and instead said sarcastically, "Given your personality, I don't believe you haven't tried it!"

"I haven't cultivated your multiverse system yet, have I? Perhaps after cultivating your system, eating this stuff will taste different!" Shi Hao said, quite interested.

Normally, following someone else's path is limited by a ceiling, making it impossible to break through that constraint. However, these beings who have become Immortal Emperors are different.

They have reached the end of one of their paths, cultivating the most powerful Dao Fruit, which can be used to help them break through the barrier to the second Dao Fruit.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, for the second, third, and even subsequent Dao fruits, they can cultivate the systems created by others to achieve the status of Immortal Emperor.

Of course, a quasi-immortal emperor who creates his own system also has a considerable chance of doing such a thing.

"It has no taste at all, it's not tasty at all!" Fang Ming glared and said, "Don't you dare try to cultivate my system. You'll definitely become an Immortal Emperor faster than me. In that case, you'll become the one who reaches the end of the path in this system, and I won't be able to become an Immortal Emperor."

"Haha..." Shi Hao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already decided that I will still use the secret realm method to cultivate the second fruit body."

"The system is the manifestation, but the core is still the inner Tao. Don't be bound by the manifestation." Before Fang Ming could ask a question, he continued to explain further.

"It's a pity that several years ago, when suppressing the Soul River, the Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan was afraid again, otherwise you would definitely have been able to improve again." Ye Fan's voice sounded with regret.

Several years ago, they completely crushed the Soul River, and as a result, the Immortal Emperor of the Strange Clan was actually afraid.

They didn't dare to descend in their true forms, but only exerted influence from across endless space and time, causing several quasi-immortal emperors to descend from that calamity land.

The Highland of Calamity is far more mysterious than the River of Souls. That region has a secret connection to countless universes, and most of its passages and ancient paths are known only to the strange race.

If that Immortal Emperor dares to descend in his true form, they will dare to intercept him from afar, strike him into eternal oblivion, and strip him of his Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit.

"They are truly afraid!" Shi Hao smiled calmly, the scales of victory now tipping in their favor.

Fang Ming looked at Shi Hao and Ye Fan and said, "Now that we have an advantage here, shouldn't we consider things in another time and space?"

Shi Hao looked troubled and said, "To be honest, I really haven't figured out what to say when I meet my other self."

"I don't have any concerns. Since we can't do anything to them here for the time being, we can go over there and give the strange race a surprise." Ye Fan said calmly.

Upon hearing the name "Strange Clan," Shi Hao's eyes lit up. He hated the Strange Clan to the core and immediately said, "Let's go!"

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in another time and space.

"I'm going to the high plateau to find another..." Shi Hao stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, a look of doubt appearing on his handsome face.

Not only him, but Ye Fan also showed a look of doubt. His gaze swept across the heavens and then through endless time and space, as he murmured with a hint of confusion:
"I have disappeared in this time and space?"
