Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Chen Changsheng's reasons were simple and direct, full of pragmatic considerations and deep emotions.

Upon hearing this, both Lingbao and Yuanshi showed a hint of approval in their eyes.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sighed, "What your heart desires is what you rely on for the Dao. Your choice demonstrates a clear and pure Daoist mind. Not bad."

Jiang Hao nodded: "Since you've thought it through, that's good."

"You flatter me, seniors," Chen Changsheng replied with a smile, then pondered for a moment and added:

"Actually, there is another matter I need to ask the Heavenly Emperor and the two Heavenly Venerables. As you all know, I was born into a humble family. Fortunately, I obtained the precious pearl and gained spiritual intelligence. Later, I had many opportunities and was able to transform into a dragon and attain the Emperor's Way."

However, as I cultivated, I discovered that the Path of the True Dragon seems to have an unseen upper limit in this world, as if it is restricted.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao and the other two exchanged glances and smiled.

Knowing that Chen Changsheng had reached this point, and realizing the problem, they understood the topic he was about to discuss.

"So you have a new idea?" Jiang Hao asked. Someone with Chen Changsheng's personality wouldn't say that unless he had some new ideas.

After considering it for a moment, Chen Changsheng said, "I am thinking about whether I can shed this dragon blood and dragon bones and return to my original form."

"Oh?" Lingbao Tianzun raised an eyebrow slightly, and Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and pondered.

Chen Changsheng continued, "What I mean by returning to my origin is not to transform back into the ignorant and naive mortal carp I once was, but to shed the parts of my acquired evolution that conflict with the rules of heaven and earth, and return to the initial state that best suits my true spirit."

This might suit me better. Whether one is a carp or a dragon shouldn't be determined by bloodline or form, but rather by finding the state that best suits them. I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

Chen Changsheng recalled the meaning of the original true self that Jiang Hao had vaguely mentioned when he was giving him guidance.

A glint of appreciation flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes. This kid really has a high level of comprehension.

They not only saw the limitations of the true dragon path, but also thought of the step of returning to one's true nature and origin.

The Dao of True Dragons in this world does indeed have an upper limit. In the present world, the evolution of pure-blooded True Dragons is not allowed. The world has an upper limit.

Even the so-called dragons of the Dragon Realm are not pure-blooded.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Chen Changsheng to make progress; at most, he can only make a little progress.

To obtain a pure-blooded true dragon, one needs to raise the upper limit of the universe, or have a pure-blooded true dragon egg fall from the sky.

But this is not something that evolved; it is something that is innate.

Chen Changsheng's approach is remarkably similar to Jiang Hao's back then when he shed his chaotic body and returned to his mortal essence.

They all emphasize that the strength lies in the self that carries the Great Dao, rather than in a specific physique or form.

The demon emperor before them was indeed amazing; he was talented, insightful, adaptable, and had a grand vision.

It should be noted that Chen Changsheng had already become an emperor, but for a better future, he was willing to shed his dragon form and embark on a new path.

This requires great courage; many supreme beings have dared to do it.

"What a wonderful return to one's roots," Jiang Hao said slowly.

"Shed your dragon form and return to your true self. This path is difficult, but it is indeed a path to heaven. If you are determined, you can give it a try. Perhaps you can forge a new path that has never been seen before."

Lingbao Tianzun nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, the idea is very bold, but it is indeed feasible. If you succeed, your Dao foundation will become purer, and your future potential may truly be unlocked."

"Thank you, seniors." Chen Changsheng was very happy to see that his idea had been affirmed by Jiang Hao and the other two, and he was even more confident.

The group then discussed the matter further, refining the specific details, which greatly benefited Chen Changsheng and saved him a lot of time.

After the discussion, Jiang Hao added with a smile, "When you undergo your transformation, you need to find an absolutely safe place that can provide ample nourishment from your primordial energy. My Heavenly Garden might be a good option."

Jiang Hao is not stingy with his own people, and the clash of different wisdom and paths is indeed quite interesting.

Chen Changsheng was overjoyed upon hearing this and bowed again: "Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, and thank you for your guidance, both Heavenly Venerables. I do indeed intend to do so. Once I am fully prepared and have completed my transformation, I will come to bother you again. Please, Heavenly Emperor, open the passage."

"Okay," Jiang Hao agreed.

Afterwards, Chen Changsheng and his wife stayed in the garden for a while longer, preparing for their transformation.

Thousands of years is not a short time for practitioners.

Chen Changsheng awoke in the Heavenly Court's back garden. His aura was different from before; it lacked the domineering power of a dragon and possessed a more serene and agile quality, like the deep sea.

It's as if all the glamour has been washed away, returning to a state that is both the most simple and the most profound.

He still looks like a young man, but his eyes are more clear and peaceful.

"Congratulations on your successful transformation! From now on, you will have no more limitations!" Jiang Hao could tell at a glance that Chen Changsheng had successfully transformed into a dragon and returned to his true form, and his strength had also increased.

Although the carp may appear ordinary today, it contains a unique and vast origin within, possessing boundless potential.

With Chen Changsheng's talent and comprehension, his future is limitless.

"Thank you for your kindness, Heavenly Emperor." Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and then greeted Lingbao and Yuanshi.

Chen Changsheng was overjoyed at his successful transformation, with a bright future ahead.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group returned to Kunlun Ancient Star.

The familiar process unfolds, chaos cracks open, and a seven-colored channel appears.

"Take care on your journey," Jiang Hao said.

"A bright future awaits you." Lingbao nodded.

"I look forward to meeting you again someday," Yuanshi smiled.

Chen Changsheng bowed deeply to the three of them, then glanced at Chen Qingwan beside him, whose eyes were full of affection and trust, and took her hand: "Let's go."

The two figures disappeared into the portal of light.

All the heavens and all directions, once again sensing the fluctuations of the opening of the passage and the disappearance of the new emperor's aura, were somewhat numb, yet filled with envy.

"The Demon Emperor has also left..."

"Why are all the new emperors leaving in such a hurry lately? Is the Lesser Immortal Realm really that wonderful?"

"Of course they would go if it weren't good!"

"That's true, the ascension passage... Sigh, why not me? I want to go too!"

"You? Are you even qualified?"

"Damn it, am I not enough? Are you?"

"Stop arguing. Speaking of which, how many emperors has the Heavenly Court sent away this time? I'm afraid that people from our Origin Realm are about to take over a small piece of territory in the Lesser Immortal Realm, right?"

……

In the Lesser Immortal Realm, in a secluded valley cave.

This place is shrouded in layers of formations and is an important stronghold that Xiao Fan and his group have been building for many years.

Inside the cave, Xiao Fan, Qi Xuan, Shangyang Emperor, Chendao Heavenly Venerable, and Immortal Granny were discussing matters.

Suddenly, Xiao Fan and Qi Xuan both sensed something and looked in a certain direction outside the cave.

"A newcomer has arrived; his aura is unique and very strong," Xiao Fan said.

"It seems to have just undergone a profound transformation, and its origin has a sense of returning to its original simplicity," Qi Xuan also said.

The group got up, went out of the cave, and hurried towards the source of the disturbance.

Not far away, the space rippled slightly, and a man and a woman emerged hand in hand; it was Chen Changsheng and Chen Qingwan.

Chen Changsheng spotted Xiao Fan and the others at a glance. In particular, the faintly shared Origin Realm aura and equally powerful Emperor Dao aura emanating from Xiao Fan and Qi Xuan immediately confirmed their identities.
