Fenghua, dont argue so much. Brother Liu Ya gave up the Universe Great Dao for our sake.

Brother Liu Ya, this is not the time for internal conflicts. Zhen Wuyang has probably arrived by now. Although we are safe inside the palace, we cant stay closed off on our cultivation paths forever. We need to face strong enemies head-on first and establish a firm foundation.

While the crowd was still arguing, powerful forces kept arriving at the edge of the Great Desolate Wilderness, except for Heaven-Reaching Buddha and Zhen Wuyang.

In the depths of the Great Desoalte Wilderness, Zhen Wuyang sat cross-legged in the void. He was the only one from the Great Si Region present, but that was enough.

A fourth-tier Emperor, and it was his own territory. He had nothing to worry about, except for the disappearance of the Qishen Temple.

In ancient times, he had driven all the Emperors deep into the Great Desolate Wilderness. He searched every corner of the Great Si Region but couldnt find the legendary Qishen Temple.

At first, he suspected that some Emperor had acquired the Qishen Temple and became its master. So he ventured into the depths of the Great Desolate Wilderness and slaughtered all the Grand Yan Immortals who had obtained benefits in the Qishen Temple, along with the Emperors.

He had risen to power in the late Ancient Era and had no chance to encounter the Qishen Temple. The 18 Emperors even sealed off information about the Qishen Temple. He only learned about the existence of the Qishen Temple in their Great Si Region when he inherited the True Martial legacy.

The inheritance also described the origins of the Qishen Temple, including the extremely mysterious Qishen Dao.

There wasnt much information about the Qishen, but Zhen Wuyang was sure of one thing: becoming an Emperor by entering the Qishen Temple was real.

In the late Ancient Era, as his power grew, he learned that besides the Great Si Region, there were other Celestial Domains. Emperors were exceedingly rare in those other domains. In several neighboring domains, only their Great Si Region had over ten Emperors in one era.

With the enlightenment from Zhen Wuyangs Great Dao, he became more convinced that the Qishen Temple held a great secret.

The Dao of the Qishen, the mystery of the Emperors.

It was even linked to the legendary Universe Masters.

In his quest for truth, he unleashed havoc beyond the domain, slaughtering everyone, all in search of the Qishen Temple. However, after killing them all, he never found the temple.

Many years later, he came to terms with it, no longer actively seeking the temple. He buried this matter deep within his heart.

Until now, with the resurgence of ancient Emperors and the emergence of the Qishen Temple, his memories were stirred.

If only those Emperors had revived, he wouldnt have paid them any mind. In the Ancient Era, he was a fourth-tier Emperor. Now, after countless eons, his power had reached its peak at the fourth-tier. If not for the sudden appearance of the Qishen Temple, he would have planned to leave the original universe.

The original universes aid to Emperors had diminished significantly. To advance further, one had to venture into the River of Time; that was where Emperors should go.

Places with great opportunities also held great dangers. Even as a fourth-tier peak Emperor, he still faced the risk of falling.

Now, with the reappearance of the Qishen Temple, he did not know if this was a tremendous opportunity. If this was his only chance, he would give it his all.

Stepping into the pinnacle of the universe, we cultivators have an unshirkable duty.

Zheng Wuyangs eyes opened wide, his awareness fixed on the Qishen Temple floating in the void.

He couldnt go now; he had to wait for other powerful beings to arrive. If he went alone, who knew if those ancient Emperors might take the Qishen Temple and flee.

He did not have the confidence to guard the temple alone, so he had to wait. He waited for other emperors to come, suppress the Qishen Temple together, kill those old folks from the Ancient Era, and then contend with Emperors from other domains.

While one side was unpredictable, the other side was in a life-and-death struggle.

Jian Wushuang and the young samanera Hu Qing still faced the formidable enemy, Xiang Bingyun.

No matter how exquisite their staff techniques were, even if they were flawless, the gap in strength was insurmountable. In just a few breaths, Hu Qing succumbed under Xiang Bingyuns attacks.

Axe techniques represented the pinnacle of strength; ones strength could break myriad techniques. No matter how perfect the defense, it would shatter

under absolute power.

Jian Wushuang recalled the giant he had encountered in the starry sky; he also wielded an axe. In his hands, the giant axe could split the sky.

That scene seemed like it happened ages ago, and Jian Wushuang reminisced.

Ah! Hu Qing could not hold on any longer; his techniques dispersed, but his figure remained guarding Jian Wushuang, never retreating even half a step, despite his body being severely battered.

Phew... Jian Wushuang exhaled, his injuries mostly healed, but it would take time to recover his Heart and Thought power.

However, Jian Wushuangs state of mind had undergone a qualitative change amidst these consecutive dangers. This was tremendously beneficial for the fifth level of Ultimate Sword Dao, the Heartsword Cosmos. This was because Ultimate Dao required Heart power. He had actually comprehended the Ultimate Dao in the starry sky for countless eons, but he had only reached the third level.

The first level represented his state when he comprehended the Ultimate Dao, the second level was when he realized it on a star, and the third level was when he completely mastered the Ultimate Dao.

Jian Wushuang, having only mastered three levels, could engage in battle with the Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal using his One Thought Universe technique. This showcased the extraordinary strength of the Ultimate Dao.

For ordinary Daos, Three Revolutions Grand Yan Immortals could comprehend six layers. Upon reaching the seventh layer, they would become a Six Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal. The eighth layer led to a Nine

Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal, and achieving the ninth layer made one a Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal. The tenth layer marked the successful merging with the Dao, becoming an Emperor.

Emperors who followed these common Daos, although stronger than the Grand Yan Immortals, didnt possess much superiority. They were considered the lowest level among Emperors and were even inferior in status to some Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal.

Mastering a single Dao to its pinnacle to attain the status of Emperor demonstrated the weakness of these common Daos. Once they succeeded in merging with the Dao, their understanding of it became profound, but they remained stuck at the first-tier of Emperor for their entire lives. These

Emperors were the most useless, yet the most numerous in the universe.

If one were to categorize the the countless Daos within the river of time and space, they could be divided into five levels.

The fifth level consisted of first-tier Emperors. Regardless of their improvement in cultivation, they were the weakest among their peers. However, with time, they managed to walk to the end of this simple and smooth Dao.

Comparatively, the fourth-level paths underwent a qualitative change compared to the fifth level. Many Grand Yan Immortals followed these paths. If they succeeded in merging with the Dao, they had the hope of further advancement. Once they comprehended the entire Dao, their strength would reach the second-tier of Emperor.

At the second-tier Emperor stage, they could control a lower- grade world. With the worlds blessings in their own Dao Arena, their strength could reach the peak of the second-tier. With the advantage of the Dao Arena, they were not afraid of some third-tier Emperors.

However, the lower- grade worlds in the universe had been divided among major powers. If one did not have a background or identity, they simply had no opportunity to control a world and become a Dao Ancestor.
