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

Jiang Hao did not leave immediately, but spent some time setting up several powerful concealment and protection arrays around the small world space and in the area connecting to the outside world.

These grand formations are based on his Great Dao, combined with some ancient chaotic formation concepts he gleaned from the remaining traces of the Dao in this place, nested layer upon layer, making them incredibly powerful.

Unless a powerful expert with expertise in formations and strength comparable to his personally arrives, it will be extremely difficult to discover and break through.

But do such people exist in the world today? No.

After doing all this, Jiang Hao took one last look at the ruins of the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court, which bore the weight of history and opportunity, before his figure slowly faded away and disappeared into the vast chaos.

The rewards of this unexpected trip far exceeded expectations.

The starry sky was desolate. Jiang Hao's figure shattered the void and appeared before an ancient and vast star field.

The ancient Big Dipper hangs in the center of the heavens, and nine vast dragon veins are rooted in the abyss of the universe. The dragon energy soars to the sky, nourishing the endless creation of this world.

This place is a perilous land filled with forbidden zones and where supreme beings lie in hiding, yet it is also a legendary place where all living beings resist calamities and heroes emerge in great numbers.

Countless powerful figures fought against the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone here during the Dark Turmoil.

It left behind many moving and inspiring stories.

When Jiang Hao's figure appeared without any concealment above the Big Dipper sky, a majestic imperial might, as vast as the heavens, quietly spread out and enveloped the entire ancient star.

All living beings, from mortal beasts to powerful cultivators, felt a chill in their hearts, as if the heavens were collapsing, and involuntarily felt a sense of awe and submission.

The Abyss of Burial Gods, the Lake of Reincarnation, the Ancient Cave of Chaos... Within the forbidden zones, the Supreme Beings who had been lying dormant suddenly opened their eyes, their aged pupils filled with fear.

They were all too familiar with the aura of that figure.

It is the Chaos Emperor!

Over the years, this emperor, who appeared out of nowhere, has single-handedly subdued all the heavens and all the forbidden zones.

They crushed the pride of the penalty area.

A series of cold, indifferent, or fearful and complex emotions intertwined in the deepest part of the forbidden zone.

"He's here again..."

"What are you trying to do this time? Are you still not willing to give up?"

"His imperial power has grown even stronger and more unfathomable."

"Patience is essential; we must be patient. We must not clash with the path to immortality until it opens!"

All the supreme beings made the same choice—to lie low, completely concealing their aura and daring not to reveal the slightest hostility.

They were truly terrified of this reigning emperor.

When he attained enlightenment, he slew the Heavenly Venerable who had reached the pinnacle of sublimation; after becoming Emperor, he subdued all forbidden zones and demanded compensation; he rectified all paths to resist the backlash from Heaven and Earth... Each and every one of these events far exceeded their understanding of a Great Emperor.

This is a ruthless person who doesn't play by the rules; his strength is ridiculously high.

Jiang Hao was fully aware of the subtle fluctuations within the restricted area below, yet remained unmoved.

He arrived at the core intersection of the Big Dipper's earth veins, where dragon energy surged and the nine main dragon veins intertwined, their energy chaotic yet powerful.

He took out the third tripod—the Big Dipper Tripod, whose ancient patterns subtly echoed the Big Dipper.

He placed the cauldron at the core of the earth's veins, formed hand seals, and unleashed the laws of the Great Dao, like the most skilled craftsman, sorting out the chaotic and complex energy of the dragon veins and connecting it with the Dao patterns on the cauldron's body.

The Big Dipper Cauldron trembled slightly, emanating a profound aura that suppressed the eight directions and harmonized yin and yang. It slowly sank into the earth's core, resonating with the aura of the Ziwei Cauldron and the Kunlun Cauldron.

The entire Big Dipper trembled slightly, as if the perennial malevolent aura and complex karma had been cleansed, making the world clearer and more stable, and subtly improving the cultivation environment.

After doing all this, Jiang Hao did not linger, nor did he even glance at those restricted areas before his figure faded and disappeared.

Only after his aura completely left the Big Dipper Starfield did the supreme beings deep within those forbidden zones breathe a sigh of relief, and long sighs echoed from the depths of the forbidden zones.

"Such powerful methods... The world is suppressed by the cauldrons. This is to stabilize the heavens and create an unprecedented era!" A supreme being from the Burial God Abyss murmured to himself, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"He's invincible!"

An ancient supreme being sighed, "Back then, we hid ourselves away, thinking we could wait for the path to immortality to open. Now it seems we won't even have the chance to emerge from the world."

"He's gone...it's good that he's gone, it's good that he's gone..." The Supreme One was still shaken and dared not have the slightest thought of resistance.

Jiang Hao's figure appeared in a familiar place, Ziwei Star.

The Daoist Sect still stands, but its atmosphere has undergone a complete transformation.

Today, the Dao Seeking Sect covers a vast area, with floating immortal mountains, cascading waterfalls, and magnificent palaces. It is the first imperial lineage revered by all heavens, and every day, cultivators and races come to worship, seek the Dao, and become disciples in an endless stream.

Jiang Hao quietly returned to the forbidden courtyard behind the sect leader's hall.

This place retains its simple appearance from back then, with every blade of grass and every tree kept in its original state by an array. It is a place of memories that he deliberately preserved.

However, things have changed.

The original sect leader, Li Daoran, has long since abdicated, and it is unknown which generation of sect leader is currently in power.

Some old friends chose to remain secluded, waiting to re-emerge and make a comeback later in the golden age.

Some, however, lived their lives like ordinary people.

In the nearly ten thousand years since the beginning of cultivation, there have been several cycles of new people replacing old ones.

Jiang Hao stood quietly in the courtyard, gazing at the old tree, remaining silent for a long time.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death, the changing of eras—this is the fundamental principle of the universe.

Even the greatest emperor cannot reverse everything.

All he could do was protect the flame of humanity, open up a wider world, and give future generations more opportunities to reach greater heights.

The initial sadness and discomfort have long since faded into habit with each farewell.

"Disciple Lin Qingxuan pays respects to the Great Emperor!" A respectful voice rang out from outside the courtyard. It belonged to the current Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect, a calm and wise Quasi-Emperor.

"Come in." Jiang Hao collected his thoughts.

Lin Qingxuan entered, bowed, and reported: "Your Majesty, the patriarch of the Golden Divine Bull Clan has brought lavish gifts and has been waiting outside the mountain gate for a long time. He has come to apologize for the past disrespectful acts of his subordinate force, the Mighty Bull Demon Clan."

When Niu Poshan made his arrogant remarks, he was already taught a lesson by Xiao Tian Sha Xing. His father, Niu Zhentian, wanted to take revenge, but was also seriously injured by Zhao Shanhe.

After that, the Mighty Bull Demon Clan was plunged into great panic and embarrassment.

As Jiang Hao's earth-shattering deeds became known to the ancient races one by one.

The more they learned about the forbidden zones, the slaying of the Heavenly Realm Ancestor, the extermination of the Insect Mother, and the combing of the myriad paths, the more terrified they became.

This is no ordinary enlightened being; this is clearly a heaven-defying powerhouse.

Whose new Daoist can defeat a Supreme Being of a Forbidden Zone with a single punch?

Whose new Daoist has been able to subdue all the forbidden zones and demand immortal gold and divine materials?

How can this be considered a new enlightened being?

With the power of the Chaos Emperor, it's no doubt that he could be considered a reincarnation of the Daoist Master or the Eastern Emperor.

That's too strong and outrageous.

To mock such a being? That's like an old man hanging himself!

The entire Mighty Bull Demon Clan is now barely able to hold its head up in the heavens, ridiculed by all other races, and internally they live in constant fear, terrified that the Great Emperor might one day think of them and wipe them out at will.

Meanwhile, the ancient royal family of the Golden Divine Bull Clan, who also belonged to the Bull Clan and served as its backer, was humiliated and terrified.

After all, if subordinate forces cause trouble, the main family also bears responsibility for failing to properly discipline them.

This led to the scene where the clan chief personally arrived and waited for a long time to apologize.
