"Are you kidding me?" Meng Tianzheng glared at him.

Resurrecting the ancients... to be honest, if there were enough resources and the ultimate elixir, it would be possible.

Although the three were not skilled in alchemy, it would not be difficult for them to learn it, given their status as Immortal Kings.

However, the choice of alchemy furnace must be very particular.

The Primordial Immortal Furnace, the supreme treasure of the Primordial Immortal King of the Immortal Realm, would be very suitable.

However, finding raw materials is very difficult.

The environment of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has changed, and many rare and precious materials are now extremely difficult to form.

As for changing the world... if even a Celestial King can do it, then the Seven Kings of the Primordial Emperor Pass in the past, and other ancient Celestial Kings, would have done it even at the cost of their lives!

However, this was something even the Celestial King was powerless to change.

The original Emperor Guan Wangzeng once estimated that even the most supreme giants would only look on in awe.

I'm afraid only someone who has broken through the King level and become an Emperor could do that!

Even the most powerful rulers in the world, such as butchers, fake medicine sellers, and chicken farmers, might not be able to do it!

Although Cao Ya has reached the realm of supreme giants and has made further progress... at best, he is only roughly equivalent to the three butchers, so how could he possibly...

What Cao Ya said next left the three of them completely stunned.

"In fact, a great master who breaks through the King and becomes an Emperor... should be called a 'quasi-Immortal Emperor.' I could kill him face to face!"

"As long as it's not a 'Celestial Emperor' who is born, I have nothing to fear!"

Cao Ya's absolute confidence was genuine and unwavering, showing no sign of self-deception whatsoever.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Could it be that you have broken through from king to emperor?" the king asked in surprise.

"As for strength... you could say that too," Cao Ya replied with a smile.

"Hiss!" The three of them twitched at the corner of their eyes, then were overjoyed.

It turns out that there really is a path to becoming an emperor after being a king!

“If we continue on the path of ‘using our own bodies as seeds’ and ‘the method of world creation,’ there is a glimmer of hope that we can attain the status of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.”

"Ancient Immortal Techniques, Chaotic Ancient Techniques, huh..."

Cao Ya shook his head as he spoke.

He was unsure about the latter two paths as well.

No one can say for sure what path the Quasi-Immortal Emperor of the Fallen Emperor era and the Corpse Immortal Emperor once followed.

After all, even the ancient histories of the Boundary Sea only briefly record some events about the era of the Fallen Emperors, and it is impossible to distinguish whether they are true or false.

Earlier historical records have been lost and cannot be verified.

"True Immortal, Immortal King, Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor... are these the realms of the Immortal Path?"

Shi Hao whispered, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

It seems that he is far from reaching the peak on his path of cultivation, and there is still a long way to go.

Shi Hao showed no signs of dejection or weakness; instead, his spirit was high!

"By chance, I traveled back in time to the Immortal Ancient City and even fought with He Wushuang from another realm who had not yet become an immortal, and defeated him."

"My ability to become an immortal in the mortal world within ten thousand years is also inseparable from these experiences."

"Otherwise, following the path of 'using one's own body as a seed,' it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years to attain enlightenment!"

"To be honest, I have lived through hundreds of thousands of years in other eras!"

Shi Hao began to recount his many experiences once again.

Previously, the three people had been informed, but none of them followed suit.

Tianjiaoyi, Cao Yusheng, and others were also unable to return to the past and compete with the geniuses of Xian Gu!

It seems that only Shi Hao is the exception.

"Is it because of the border sea dike? Or is it due to the influence of some special road?"

Meng Tianzheng and the original emperor Guan Wangzhe analyzed it, but they couldn't figure it out.

Upon reaching the Supreme level, one can manipulate the river of time. After advancing to the Immortal Realm, one can trace back the past and look down upon the future.

But to travel through such a vast period of time... especially in such a vast world...

The pressure of heaven and earth, the backlash of the Great Dao, would bring even the most supreme giants to their doom!

"It should be related to the Boundary Sea Dike and the Great Luo Sword Embryo in Shi Hao's hands."

Cao Ya thought to himself.

That dike blocked the boundary sea, and no matter how much the tremors of countless planes shook, it could not be damaged in the slightest.

The strongest beings in the world, giants, supreme giants, and even those who surpass the supreme giants, cannot leave even the slightest trace on the dike.

This is also why the fragmentary records of the era of the fallen emperor in ancient history have not been questioned by the powerful immortals.

If not an emperor, how could he have left his footprints? This boundless dike was probably also created by an emperor, specially crafted with supreme magical power to isolate the boundary sea.

And the Great Luo Sword Embryo... needless to say, it is a genuine Emperor Sword!

A Celestial Emperor's Artifact!

Under multiple influences, it's plausible that Shi Hao returned to the past and visited the Immortal Ancient Era and the Emperor's Fall Era.

Others, however, will not have this opportunity.

In his cultivation of "taking one's own body as a seed," Shi Hao's struggle in the mortal world was not completed in his own time, but in the era of the Fallen Emperor.

He also created the supreme Dharma – the "Great Dharma of Other-Transformation"!

This is Shi Hao's fundamental supernatural power.

"The Great Luo Sword Embryo?" Shi Hao was taken aback. He flipped his hand and took out the ancient sword embryo.

“This is an ominous artifact!” The Primordial Emperor Guan Wangzhe said with a look of concern, “In the history books of all realms, every owner of the Great Luo Sword Embryo met a tragic end or disappeared without a trace. After hundreds of millions of years, this sword embryo has a new owner. The fate of its original owner can be imagined.”

Meng Tianzheng nodded and said in a solemn tone, "Even the founder of the Immortal Realm system did not have a good end!"

Shi Hao was shocked; this was the first time he had ever heard of this!

"A five-time champion from the Immortal Ancient Kingdom also obtained this sword, but its whereabouts are also unknown," the king sighed.

Shi Hao had heard of this news.

In his youth, he competed with the Ten-Crown King and the Immortal of the Fallen, and he had heard of the deeds of many extraordinary talents from ancient times to the present.

When he obtained the Great Luo Sword Embryo, he was warned by those around him that it was an ominous object!

The five-time champion of Xian Gu is one such example.

But compared to the creator of the Immortal Realm Extraordinary System, the Five-Crown King is nothing to mention.

That founder was at least a supreme giant! Perhaps even stronger! No less than the Butcher and others of this era!

If a five-time champion survives, like the current ten-time champion or the Immortal, reaching the Supreme Realm wouldn't be a problem. If given the opportunity and the environment is suitable, there's a good chance he could become a True Immortal. However, reaching the Immortal King Realm is quite a distant dream.

Otherwise, why would all the immortal heroes of the Boundary Sea avoid the Great Luo Sword Embryo like the plague?

The tragedies of five-time champions and other geniuses alone are not enough to move them.

The sudden death of the founder of the Immortal Realm system is truly terrifying!

So far, Shi Hao is the longest-lived sword master since the founder.

In fact, after Meng Tianzheng learned about it, he wanted Shi Hao to discard the sword embryo.

Unfortunately, having already succeeded, it would be too late to abandon it.

Only by strengthening oneself can one hope to block the misfortune brought by the sword embryo!

"Let me see."

Cao Ya took the Great Luo Sword Embryo and probed it with his powerful divine sense, but inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

This was an incredibly unbelievable scene for Cao Ya, who was already at the peak of the six-star level, comparable to a top-tier quasi-immortal emperor!

"How is it?" Meng Tianzheng's heart sank when he saw the flicker of emotion on Cao Ya's face.

Shi Hao couldn't help but feel a chill.

"An Imperial Artifact!" Cao Ya took a deep breath.

"Hmm?" The three of them felt their scalps tingle. The Emperor Artifact mentioned by the World Dao Ancestor was definitely not an Emperor Artifact at the pinnacle of the Human Path! It was probably an Emperor Artifact at the peak of the Immortal Path!

Moreover, it doesn't even have the word "approved" yet!

"The Boundary Sea... Could it be that a true Immortal Emperor once existed there? Was it an emperor from the era of the Fall of Emperors?" the king exclaimed in surprise.

Cao Ya shook his head and said, "That emperor is one of the quasi-immortal emperors throughout history."

"Before him, perhaps trillions of years ago, a Celestial Emperor rose to power!"

"Unfortunately, the fate of this Immortal Emperor... was very unfortunate!"

Meng Tianzheng's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Is it also the curse of the Great Luo Sword Embryo? Even the Immortal Emperor's fate is unknown?"

His worry for Shi Hao grew stronger.

Cao Ya rubbed his temples and said, "Based on my understanding, this sword embryo should have been forged by that Immortal Emperor using some scraps."

"The real root of the problem lies in the Three Generations Bronze Coffin!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment.

The Three-Generation Bronze Coffin? They were somewhat taken aback. Wasn't that a sacred object passed down from the ancient immortals?

"No!" The king frowned, racking his brains, but he couldn't remember the true origin of the Three Generations Bronze Coffin at all!

"It seems that the Three-Life Coffin already existed in the world before the Immortal Ancient Era."

Cao Ya sighed, "That's right! No one knows the origin of the Three Generations Bronze Coffin."

"No one knows for sure who will be buried."

"The divine materials used to refine this coffin are unknown to anyone; they are some kind of rare cosmic treasure."

"The Immortal Emperor of that time also obtained the Three-Life Coffin and used the remaining scraps to forge the Great Luo Sword Embryo."

"Then, the ominous artifact was born, and the Immortal Emperor was the first to be proven right."

Shi Hao, Meng Tianzheng, and Wang Zhe were all shocked.

The Three-Generation Bronze Coffin existed before the Immortal Emperor who transcended ancient history.

Did the curse actually succeed in cursing the Immortal Emperor?

If this news gets out, it will definitely cause a sensation in the Boundless Sea!

Cao Ya wondered to himself, could the Three-Life Coffin be a coffin specially crafted by the most ancient priest who sensed his impending death?

He couldn't think of any other explanation.

However, those who died on the sacrificial path suffered from various ailments before their death that could not be dispelled, thus giving rise to a strange and monstrous race.

After that, strange things rose up on the high plateau and the land of calamity, and only after that did the myriad worlds come into being!

That strange race has been lying dormant for a long time, waiting for the heavens to develop civilization. Once it reaches a certain level, normally enough to support the birth of an immortal emperor, the strange race will begin to reap the rewards.

Time and again, throughout history, even at the junctures of the "Perfect World," countless civilizations have been destroyed by bizarre races.

By the time we reach the future nodes of "Covering the Sky" and "Sacred Ruins," the number of civilizations that have perished will be countless.

It can reveal the fate of the Immortal Emperor and bring misfortune. Perhaps, only by being connected to the sacrificial path could it possess such a strange ability.

As for the Sacrifice Realm... the Sacrifice Realm of the Strange Clan is not so boring; they forcibly shatter the heavens and flatten all races.

But the even more ancient Pollen Empress... her path was unrelated to this.

Furthermore, the death of the Pollen Empress was due to an attack by several strange Sacrificial Dao Realm cultivators of the same level.

Would they give the Pollen Queen time to prepare for her own funeral?

With the supreme power of the Sacrifice Dao Realm, even the slightest setback is a chance for survival!

Even in the era of the Sacred Ruins, the Pollen Empress was not completely dead and started anew!

Although the memories of the past were not revived in the newborn body, and the body was allowed to grow freely, the essence of life has indeed not changed.

Even Immortal Emperors are incredibly difficult to kill, let alone those who have surpassed Immortal Emperors at the Sacrifice Dao Realm.

"Could we discard this sword embryo? Or... seal it?" Meng Tianzheng asked.

He worried about Shi Hao's future, wondering if he would also end up like that.

"It's alright," Cao Ya said with a smile. "As long as Shi Hao speeds up his pace and becomes a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, an Immortal Emperor, or even goes further..."

After a slight pause, Cao Ya said leisurely, "At that time, the Great Luo Sword Embryo will belong to Shi Hao."

"In fact, the Great Luo Sword Embryo was originally without a master. The so-called misfortune and curse, from a certain perspective, is that the owner who possessed it was unable to bear this fortune and could not shoulder the responsibilities of the Great Luo Sword Embryo!"

"Naturally, it suffered a backlash and could only perish."

"With Shi Hao's comprehension, I believe he can withstand the backlash and completely master the Great Luo Sword Embryo!"

During the time of the 【Sacred Ruins】, the "Desolate Heavenly Emperor" had already mastered the Great Luo Sword Embryo as if it were his own arm.

In this timeline, Shi Hao progresses faster, is stronger among those of the same level, and is not alone; he has Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, and Wang Zhe as companions... His title of "Desolate Emperor" will only come sooner!

Shi Hao grinned, put away the Great Luo Sword Embryo, and said, "I will definitely live up to the Dao Ancestor's high expectations!"

Meng Tianzheng and Wang Zhe had no choice but to let him go.

After all, no one understands the Great Luo Sword Embryo better than Cao Ya.

Furthermore, they trusted Shi Hao, whose talent and comprehension far surpassed their own!

There is a good chance that he can catch up with the world's Dao Ancestor and even break through the King and become an Emperor!

Most importantly, the Great Luo Sword Embryo has been with Shi Hao for over ten thousand years, and discarding it now would render it useless.

The sword embryo was already imbued with Shi Hao's aura, which could not be erased.

"Some of the materials collected over the past ten thousand years are still available and can be put to use."

"However, there is still a shortfall. We need to go to the Immortal Realm to trade for some materials."

"By the way, I'll pay a visit to the Primordial Immortal King and borrow his Immortal King Furnace!"

"Only then can we truly transform the world!"

Cao Ya said.

Therefore, the original Emperor Guan was still stationed in the borderlands to oversee the Tianyuan and prevent any changes.

Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, and Shi Hao, along with a group of supreme beings from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and those at the Escape One Realm, entered the Immortal Realm to visit the Daoist temples of Pan Wang, Hunyuan Immortal King, and the giant Qi Yu, among others.

With three Celestial Kings leading the way, no one dared to underestimate the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Those powerful forces in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who had entered the Immortal Realm with their families through connections at an early age to avoid invasions from other realms and the darkness all had complicated expressions.

Who could have imagined that three heroes would rise up in the long-declining Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?

Even Meng Tianzheng, as a top-tier Immortal King, would be a hegemon in the Immortal Realm.

The world's Dao Ancestors Cao Ya and Shi Hao need no further mention; they are incredibly powerful!

The powerful Qi Yu was defeated in a sparring match with the newly crowned king Shi Hao.

This scene shook the entire Immortal Realm!

"Even if the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths change, so what? The Grand Elder, the World Dao Ancestor, and Huang—in the entire Chaotic Ancient Era, only three such super prodigies have been born."

"If we stay in the lower realm, we'll never be able to touch the realm of immortality in this lifetime!"

"Even after arriving in the Immortal Realm, the chances are still slim, but it's not zero."

"Moreover, the alien invasion that will erupt at most tens of thousands of years from now... How can the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths possibly withstand it with only four kings? So many kings in the Immortal Ancient Era were defeated!"

"They won't even have time to be swept away by darkness before they are completely destroyed."

"Our escape was perfectly reasonable."

Some people spoke up, explaining the pros and cons to dispel their guilt.

Cao Ya, Meng Tianzheng, and Shi Hao all ignored these people.

However, the Supreme Beings and those at the Escape One Realm who accompanied the team were not happy about it and challenged them.

Tianjiaoyi, Kunpengzi, Qi Daolin, Shiguanwang, Zhexian, Shiyi and others almost all achieved victory!

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are filled with so many extraordinary systems, and various magical arts and supernatural powers have been passed down. Each one is equivalent to a direct descendant of a Celestial King's Daoist temple, with excellent aptitude and past war experience... Naturally, they are first-rate among their peers!

With very few exceptions, most of the people in the Immortal Realm were defeated.

"Damn it, we lost to a country bumpkin!" This scene made the Supreme Being of the Immortal Realm look displeased.

"Tsk tsk." The expressions of the True Immortals were quite strange.

Only the Celestial Kings didn't care.

It's just a battle between a bunch of little guys in the humanitarian field.
