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

"Using the root of the elixir of immortality as the base to create an imperial weapon is indeed ingenious."

"Although it is not as tough as immortal gold, the life and death principles and immense vitality it contains can be used in many wonderful ways if applied properly."

Having seen many Immortal Gold Emperor Weapons, Jiang Hao took a second look at this unconventional approach.

"The opportunity was quite significant, and they had some great ideas."

……

In the starry sky, the tribulation lightning was pouring down like a celestial river overflowing its banks.

Yuan Dao remained calm and tossed the emerald green gourd in his hand into the air.

The gourd mouth opened automatically, aimed at the sky full of thunder.

"receive."

With a soft shout, the terrifying sea of ​​lightning, powerful enough to shatter stars, was swallowed up by the gourd like a whale sucking in water!

The gourd's surface patterns lit up, emitting a warm green light, transforming the destructive power of the thunder into pure vital energy, which then nourished itself.

This scene made onlookers gasp in shock.

"What a powerful weapon!"

"This gourd, from which the elixir of immortality was made, actually has such wondrous uses?"

The tribulation lightning seemed to be enraged, and a second and third wave of even more terrifying tribulation lightning descended one after another.

Various strange phenomena evolved, and even vague phantoms of emperors and sovereigns appeared.

Yuan Dao remained calm and pointed at the gourd.

"Please turn around, baby!"

The emerald green gourd spun in the air, and a thin, almost transparent sword aura flew out of its mouth.

That sword energy looked inconspicuous, but it was extremely fast, as if it ignored the distance of time and space.

laugh!

As the sword energy gently swept across, a phantom formed from lightning froze on the spot, then slowly split apart in the middle, dissipating into a sky full of lightning.

Sword energy weaves through the sea of ​​lightning, silently slicing through and annihilating any creatures, weapons, or even Dao runes that have evolved from lightning.

"What...what kind of move is this? How can it be so bizarre and terrifying?"

The great swordsman was dumbfounded; he had never seen such bizarre sword moves before.

That sword energy seemed to contain some kind of rule of severing, even capable of cutting through the Dao principles within tribulation lightning.

Yuan Dao stood in the center of the sea of ​​thunder, his Daoist aura resonating with the gourd.

While manipulating sword energy to extinguish the tribulation lightning phenomenon, he also used a gourd to absorb the essence of lightning to temper himself.

This great ordeal of enlightenment lasted for a full nine days.

As the last bolt of world-destroying lightning was swallowed by the emerald gourd and the tribulation clouds slowly dissipated, Yuan Dao unleashed an imperial might that illuminated the heavens!

All paths resonated in unison, and the Heavenly Heart Mark manifested, drawing closer to him.

Yuan Dao reached out and absorbed the Heavenly Heart Mark, which represented the power of the current emperor, into his own body.

"Today I attain enlightenment and become the Primordial Emperor!"

At this moment, all the heavens and earth resonated with the response.

"It's done..."

"Another new emperor, the new Emperor Yuan!"

Countless beings knelt in the direction where the calamity clouds dissipated, offering their reverence and blessings.

Throughout the myriad realms, all major lineages, ancient clans, and holy lands began preparing congratulatory gifts.

A new imperial family is about to rise, which makes countless people envious!

This is the most direct manifestation of "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"!

……

After attaining enlightenment, Emperor Yuan first went into seclusion for two thousand years to stabilize his realm and comprehend the Emperor's Way.

After emerging from seclusion, he chose an ancestral vein rich in spiritual energy on the Big Dipper Star, established his sect, and founded an imperial clan.

The place where it is located is named Primitive Lake!

Emperor Yuan married a Daoist companion, left behind bloodline offspring, and spent a thousand years perfecting the foundation of the imperial clan, passing down his own "Emperor Yuan Scripture".

Once everything was on track, Emperor Yuan finally embarked on his journey to the Heavenly Court.

This is the custom of the current emperor to pay homage to the Heavenly Emperor who has slain a true immortal.

Standing outside the South Heavenly Gate, Emperor Yuan looked up at the vast celestial palace complex stretching for countless miles, feeling the immense, invisible pressure that enveloped the entire Heavenly Court.

He took a deep breath.

"This is the Heavenly Court..." Emperor Yuan was deeply moved.

Even after attaining enlightenment, standing here, he still felt like a small boat facing an endless ocean.

That Heavenly Emperor was someone who had slain immortals.

To defy a true immortal with a human body is an unprecedented feat throughout history.

Even his lineage's origin, the First Human Dao Venerable of the Mythical Era, though extremely powerful in his time, never achieved such a feat.

Emperor Yuan had never seen Jiang Hao make a move, but he could imagine how terrifying the Dao Venerable was at his peak from the Dao Venerable's legacy.

That already transcends the realm of ordinary emperors.

"I wonder how far this Heavenly Emperor has come?" Emperor Yuan composed himself and presented a visiting card to the Heavenly Official inside the South Heavenly Gate.

Soon, he was led into the depths of the Heavenly Court by the golden road.

Inside a simple Taoist palace, Emperor Yuan met Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao sat on the futon, looking like an ordinary young man, without any imposing aura.

However, Emperor Yuan's divine sense could not perceive his depth at all, as if he were facing a void of starry sky.

"Junior Yuan Dao pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor." Emperor Yuan bowed respectfully.

Jiang Hao looked up at him and smiled, "No need for formalities, please sit down. You have good fortune to receive the Dao Venerable's inheritance."

Emperor Yuan was not surprised; the Daoist lineage could not possibly be hidden from this Heavenly Emperor.

Emperor Yuan remained calm and sat down on the guest cushion, saying humbly, "Your Majesty flatters me. I am merely fortunate to have received the legacy of the sages of the past, and I dare not be arrogant."

Jiang Hao nodded, not delving further into the matter of inheritance, and instead asked, "You came to see me to inquire about the future?"

Emperor Yuan said solemnly, "Indeed, after I attained enlightenment, I felt lost and uncertain about the future. I heard that the Heavenly Emperor once pointed out two paths to the emperors: the path of becoming a mortal immortal and the path of ascension. Therefore, I have come to seek your guidance."

Jiang Hao briefly explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two paths, much like he had told Xiao Fan back then.

After listening, Emperor Yuan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, in these years I have been comprehending my own path and have some different ideas about the path to immortality. I wonder if Your Majesty could offer your opinion?"

Jiang Hao looked at Yuan Dao, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

Is this guy going to come up with another of those fantastical ideas about a secret realm transforming into an immortal domain, like the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor?

However, Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Sometimes, it's quite interesting to hear all sorts of strange opinions.

Emperor Yuan's eyes shone brightly, radiating the confidence of a Dao-proving being:

"I believe that the mortal body will eventually die. Even the body of an emperor cannot withstand the erosion of time. But weapons are different, especially imperial weapons forged from divine gold and immortal materials. As long as the laws of the Dao do not perish, they can exist in the world forever."

Jiang Hao understood what he meant, but didn't interrupt him.

Emperor Yuan continued, "Therefore, the path I wish to take is to completely merge my primordial spirit with the Dao weapon, to let my primordial spirit take over the imperial weapon, and to use the imperial weapon as a new body. In this way, I can use the longevity of the imperial weapon to achieve an alternative kind of immortality."

He held up the emerald green gourd: "My imperial weapon was crafted primarily from the roots and stems of the Immortal Medicine, and it inherently contains the Dao of Immortality. If one can completely merge with it, perhaps one can attain a different kind of immortality!"

At this point, Yuan Dao was very confident, his eyes shining!

"As expected, another strange genius!"

Emperor Yuan did not disappoint Jiang Hao.

His ideas were indeed unique, no less than those of the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor, and perhaps even better!

This Yuan Emperor can be called the Phoenix Chick of the Origin Realm, and is ranked alongside the Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor!

Jiang Hao tapped his fingers lightly on his knee.

"Your idea is interesting," Jiang Hao said, "but there's a very serious problem you've considered."

Emperor Yuan said earnestly, "Please enlighten me, Heavenly Emperor."
