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

Has the Heavenly Emperor taken on a disciple?

Xiao Fan and the others thought it was impossible. The Heavenly Emperor had such high standards; none of them had been accepted as disciples, so how could this guy be accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly Emperor?

"Is he just bragging?" The group was quite skeptical.

However, on the surface, Xiao Fan still politely said, "So you are Fellow Daoist Tianma. I am Xiao Fan, and this is Fellow Daoist Qixuan."

Then they introduced themselves to each other.

The Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor had a good impression of the names Xiao Fan, Qi Xuan, and Chen Changsheng, after all, they were the several Great Emperors who had attained Dao before him and were legendary figures in the Origin Realm.

"I've heard so much about you!" the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor said warmly. "I hope you fellow Daoists will take good care of us in the future. We are all disciples of the Heavenly Emperor, and it is only right that we support each other!"

Xiao Fan's lips twitched slightly. Good grief, it seems you're the one who gets to climb the social ladder. But he still nodded.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Tianma is new here. Please come back to our base with us first, and we will explain the situation of this realm in detail."

"Good, good, good!" Emperor Tianma nodded repeatedly.

The group flew towards the cave. Along the way, the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor kept referring to himself as a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, leaving Xiao Fan and the others speechless.

This guy is really good at patting himself on the back.

Xiao Fan thought to himself, "You call yourself a disciple just because you received a few pointers from the Heavenly Emperor? What am I then?"

"I ventured into the ancient tomb alongside the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Body and received his personal guidance multiple times, yet I never dared to call myself his disciple. You, on the other hand, only received a few pointers and yet you dare to call yourself the Heavenly Emperor's disciple? Your skin is too thick!"

"Moreover, I was the first person sent to this realm by the Heavenly Emperor, and I was personally selected by the Heavenly Emperor as his vanguard. Whether it's the time I spent becoming an emperor or the time I've been in the Lesser Immortal Realm, I've been here much longer than you. How long have you been here? What are your qualifications?"

Of course, this was just a joking thought in Xiao Fan's mind; he didn't actually care.

……

The Origin Realm, the Heavenly Court's back garden.

Jiang Hao and his two companions were studying the Bodhi Immortal Medicine.

Each immortal herb is unique and has research value.

The saplings shimmered with golden light, and a Taoist rhythm flowed between the swaying branches and leaves.

Sitting under the tree, I felt my mind was clear and my efficiency in comprehending the Dao had indeed improved a lot.

"The Holy Spirit Ancestral Land actually has such wonderful things." Yuanshi Tianzun exclaimed. "Fellow Daoist Jiang, the treasures here are becoming more and more abundant."

Lingbao Tianzun also laughed and said, "At this rate, you won't one day collect all the elixirs of immortality in the world, will you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao's heart stirred.

Collect them all?

That's an interesting idea.

Now he already possesses: the Sun Fusang, the Moon Laurel, the Humanoid Immortal Medicine, the White Tiger Immortal Medicine, the Chaos Green Lotus, and this Bodhi Immortal Medicine.

There are six plants now.

In the entire Origin Realm, there are only a dozen or so known elixirs of immortality still alive.

There were originally more, but some of the elixirs of immortality have vanished into history.

"If we could collect all the elixirs of immortality..." A hint of interest flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes, "that would be a remarkable achievement."

"What, do you really have this plan?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked with a smile.

"Let it be." Jiang Hao smiled. "If I come across it, I'll keep it; if I don't, I won't force it. But now that I have this idea, I might keep an eye out for it in the future."

Jiang Hao looked at the Bodhi tree, its golden light reflecting in his eyes.

Collecting all the elixirs of immortality sounds really interesting.

But this can't be rushed, let's take it slow.

Anyway, he has plenty of time.

Another thousand years have passed unnoticed.

In the Heavenly Court's back garden, Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes.

His aura has reached its peak of perfection; it's time to begin his fifth incarnation.

"Fellow Daoist, are you preparing for your next life?" Lingbao Tianzun's voice came from the side.

Both he and Yuanshi Tianzun sensed the change in Jiang Hao's state.

Jiang Hao stood up and nodded: "Yes, I've accumulated enough in this life, it's time to start the next one."

Yuanshi Tianzun said gently, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured and transform. We will take care of the Heavenly Court."

Lingbao Tianzun also said, "Now that all the heavens are at peace and the forbidden zones are lying dormant, they can't cause any trouble. Just focus on your transformation."

Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Thank you both."

With Lingbao and Yuanshi's strength, no one in the entire heavens could shake the Heavenly Court in the slightest.

"I'm gone."

Jiang Hao didn't say much, took a step forward, and disappeared into the garden.

Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of emotion in each other's eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is about to be reincarnated for the fifth time..." Yuanshi Tianzun said softly, "How fast time flies."

"For Fellow Daoist Jiang, the normal transformation time is no longer of any significance," Lingbao Tianzun shook his head.

"We old folks need to step up our game too."

The two sat down again and continued their game.

The fairy pond in the garden was calm and still, and the elixir of immortality swayed gracefully, as if nothing had changed.

……

Deep within the Origin Universe.

Jiang Hao strolled alone in the starry sky, like an ordinary cultivator, taking one step at a time, slowly walking.

Watch the stars and rivers flow, witness the rise and fall of civilizations, and observe the birth and death of life.

This kind of travel is a form of spiritual practice in itself. Jiang Hao sometimes quite likes it, as he can enjoy the scenery and gain insights at the same time.

After walking for about ten years, Jiang Hao suddenly stopped.

He frowned slightly and looked down into the depths of his own misery.

There, the bronze bell that had accompanied him through countless millennia, which had remained silent for so long, suddenly trembled slightly.

"Um?"

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

This clock is too mysterious; its origin is unknown, and its function is also unclear.

Aside from initially concealing the chaotic entity and gathering fortune, it mostly served as an ornament.

It only reacts when it encounters a special opportunity.

The last time there was such a tremor was when the ruins of the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court were discovered.

Now, it's reacting again!

"Could it be some good stuff again?"

Jiang Hao became interested.

This bronze bell is very picky; it doesn't even look at ordinary divine objects or celestial gold.

What can make it react on its own must be something extraordinary, at least at the level of a celestial being.

Following the faint signals emanating from the bronze bell, Jiang Hao adjusted his direction and headed towards a remote corner of the universe.

The further you go, the sparser the surrounding stars become, and the more barren the spiritual energy becomes.

Later, the entire star field became lifeless, with almost no signs of life.

The universe is vast. Although Jiang Haocheng and his empress have traveled there many times, there are still many places he has not been to.

For example, right here now.

Finally, after passing through a dim and magical nebula, the scene before Jiang Hao stunned him.

Ahead lies a small star system.

A blazing sun hangs in the center, with eight planets slowly revolving around it.

These eight planets look very similar to the eight I remember.

The layout, size, and even the color are almost identical to the solar system in my memory.

Jiang Hao stood in the starry sky, staring blankly at this scene.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and murmured, "This..."

It's so similar, so incredibly similar!

It was so similar that Jiang Hao thought he had returned to Earth.

The third planet was a deep blue, the fourth a crimson red, and the massive outlines of the surrounding planets were clearly those of gas giants…

Jiang Hao could even match those familiar names one by one, and their appearances were almost identical!
