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

Feng Xi gasped.

"Top ten?" Her eyes widened. "That's amazing?"

It should be noted that although there is only one enlightened being in a lifetime, the lifespan of an enlightened being is not very long.

Therefore, throughout history, the number of those who have attained enlightenment has been considerable.

There were nearly a hundred celestial deities in the mythological era, and a similar number of ancient emperors in the primordial era.

To be ranked in the top ten among so many exceptionally talented individuals who have attained enlightenment is an incredibly prestigious and difficult achievement.

"Yes," Jiang Hao said with a smile. "Lingbao Tianzun has a very strong record. He has a history of defeating other Tianzun in a head-on battle, and more than once."

He paused, then continued, "More importantly, there were visitors from another world in his time."

Feng Xi was taken aback: "Another world?"

"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded. "Two of them, both at the Heavenly Venerable level, and not just ordinary Heavenly Venerables. They crossed over from another realm to wreak havoc on this world."

He looked at the ancient star: "Lingbao Tianzun fought two against one and killed both of those otherworldly Tianzun, but he also suffered a fatal injury. In the end, his body transformed into a star field and he passed away here. This is also the reason why Lingbao Tianzun passed away."

Feng Xi was stunned.

One against two, killing two beings of equal strength?

This record...

"That's incredible!" she exclaimed in surprise. "But how come there's absolutely no record of this in the ancient texts of our Phoenix Realm? And, Great Emperor, how did you know about this?"

Looking at Feng Xi's puzzled expression, Jiang Hao slowly said, "Because before I attained enlightenment, I came here by chance, and here I received the inheritance of Lingbao Tianzun."

Feng Xi: "Huh?"

She was completely stunned. Could this really be true?

Few people know that Jiang Hao received the inheritance of Lingbao Tianzun.

The scripture he passed on to Xiao Tian Sha Xing was the Lingbao Scripture.

Jiang Hao relied on this scripture to overcome several life-or-death crises back then.

Lingbao Tianzun was not only unparalleled in killing, but also a master of formations. His legacy contained a great deal of essential knowledge about formations.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Hao felt that Lingbao Tianzun was powerful.

One can basically tell the level of the creator from a scripture. The profoundness and comprehensiveness of the Lingbao Scripture are among the best of all the Huangjing Tianzun Scriptures he has ever seen.

Moreover, looking at this star field formed from the corpses before us, the Daoist principles and vitality it contains...

"The Celestial Venerable Lingbao has lived at least three lifetimes," Jiang Hao judged in his heart. "He's definitely strong enough."

The third life is a significant turning point; those who can live through three lifetimes will see a substantial increase in combat power.

Feng Xi was processing this information, and her mind was a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "So, what is the Emperor planning to do today?"

Jiang Hao looked at the ancient star and slowly uttered four words:

"Resurrect the Celestial Venerable Lingbao".

Feng Xi: "Huh?"

She felt numb, and realized she hadn't been as surprised as she had been in all these years.

Is this the Great Emperor? He always does things in such an extraordinary way.

"Lingbao Tianzun...isn't he dead yet?" Her voice trembled. "Wasn't he dead for millions of years? His body has turned into star fields!"

Jiang Hao calmly said, "He's dead, but you could also say he's not."

Feng Xi: "...?"

She looked completely bewildered.

Dead but not really dead? What does that mean?

Jiang Hao didn't explain further, smiled slightly, and flew towards the ancient star with her.

They passed through the thick barrier of Dao patterns on the surface of the ancient star and entered the interior of the star.

Surprisingly, the ancient star was hollow inside, just like the inner world of the planet.

A vast underground world unfolds before your eyes. At the center of this world stands a dazzling, magnificent altar.

Sendai appears to be cast from divine gold and materials, radiating a soft and sacred light.

Inside Sendai, a divine fire could be faintly seen flickering.

Deep within Sendai, there is a strange liquid, shaped like flames, that is burning fiercely.

The liquid exuded a hint of immortal vitality.

Feng Xi could clearly feel that although the vitality was weak, it was incredibly tenacious and had not been extinguished even after millions of years of erosion.

"Great Emperor..." Her voice trembled slightly, "Lingbao Tianzun... he really still has a chance to live?"

Jiang Hao smiled slightly.

"Of course."

When he discovered Lingbao Tianzun's special state, he realized that this Tianzun had a chance to return, so he thought that when he was strong enough, he must come and help.

And now, the time has come.

His reason for wanting to revive Lingbao Tianzun was simple. On the one hand, Lingbao Tianzun had an excellent reputation in ancient records and was a truly righteous figure who protected all living beings.

On the other hand, he had received the inheritance of Lingbao Tianzun and relied on his scriptures to overcome many crises. He had to repay this debt of gratitude and kindness.

Another point is that he will need many powerful assistants for the important things he is going to do in the future.

Jiang Hao looked around and suddenly smiled, "I see."

When I first arrived, I hadn't discovered the true secrets of this place; I just felt that it was extraordinary. Now that I'm powerful enough, I've finally discovered the mysterious layout of this place.

The entire inner world here is shrouded in a mysterious array, and it's impossible to detect unless you have a certain level of strength.

At the center of this grand formation is the Immortal Platform Pool of the Lingbao Celestial Venerable himself, and on both sides of the Immortal Platform, there are two smaller array eyes hidden by the Dao patterns of the grand formation.

Those were two altars, both cast from immortal gold, exuding an aura of supreme power.

"Those two should be the Immortal Platforms of the two Otherworldly Celestial Venerables that Lingbao Celestial Venerable killed," Jiang Hao thought to himself.

Jiang Hao then arrived at the two array points, and with a wave of his hand, the two array points appeared.

Upon closer inspection, Feng Xi indeed discovered that the two altars were connected to the central altar by countless Dao patterns, forming an incomparably profound array.

Jiang Hao exclaimed, "What a grand gesture!"

Lingbao Tianzun used the celestial platforms of the two otherworldly supreme beings as the array's core, setting up this earth-shattering array to extract the remaining essence and Dao principles of the two supreme beings to nourish the pool of divine liquid in his own celestial platform, thus maintaining his life force.

Combined with some mysterious method of transformation, in the hope of returning after endless years.

"Using two supreme beings as nourishment..." Feng Xi murmured, "How many throughout history could accomplish such a feat?"

Jiang Hao nodded, agreeing.

Throughout history, how many people have been able to accomplish such a feat?

The Heavenly Venerables and Ancient Emperors were invincible, but the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable used two Heavenly Venerables as materials for his return.

Moreover, he could sense that the transformation method used by Lingbao Tianzun was by no means simple.

Otherwise, even with the support of two supreme immortals, that little bit of life force would have long since dissipated after millions of years.

At this moment, in that pool of divine liquid, Jiang Hao not only sensed vitality, but also detected a faint, almost invisible, true spirit.

That true spirit is like a candle flickering in the wind, which may be extinguished at any moment.

This shows the power of Lingbao Tianzun; even after being dead for millions of years, there is still a glimmer of hope for his return.

The transformation method of Lingbao Tianzun is also quite interesting. Jiang Hao thinks that if Lingbao Tianzun could return, he could exchange ideas with him, which would definitely give him a lot of inspiration.

However, given the current situation, without outside help, Lingbao Tianzun may never wake up on his own.

The difficulty of a complete transformation is evident.

Jiang Hao raised his hand and waved, and Little War Emperor and Chu Changge landed gently on the ground.

The wounds on both of them had long since healed, leaving not a trace.

For a great emperor of the time, healing the two men's injuries was a simple matter.

They looked around somewhat blankly, bewildered by the unfamiliar and ancient star field.

But when their gazes turned to Jiang Hao standing to the side, both of them froze.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
