Time gradually passed.
Without realizing it, Chen Heng had traveled around the Eastern Continent and had visited many of the regions that he knew of.
No matter if it was the center of the prosperous region, the grasslands in the north, or the Bohai Sea in the east, he had gone to all of them.
During this process, he had seen many different sceneries.
In the outside world, there were many legacies left behind by cultivators.
The habits and environments of different regions gave birth to different legacies.
Over the years, Chen Heng had seen many unique sceneries.
In the southern region of the Southern Border, there were cultivators who trained all kinds of spirit beasts, and there were also poison cultivators who cultivated poison bodies and were covered in poison from head to toe.
There were all sorts of unique things, which broadened Chen Heng's horizons.
As he walked, his cultivation continuously grew, and he could not suppress it for much longer.
He was about to become a True Lord, the only True Lord in the Eastern Continent in hundreds of years.
In actuality, he had shown signs of breaking through a long time ago.
It was just that, out of consideration, Chen Heng had suppressed his cultivation and wanted to polish his foundation to the extreme. When everything was perfect, he would break through.
As such, he had waited until now to finally try it.
In the Bohai Sea region, a massive change happened.
Spirit qi continuously gathered in the surroundings, turning into a flood in the air. The power was incredibly shocking.
The seemingly thin spirit qi contained terrifying power that could destroy the heavens and the earth. It was as if if it exploded out, it would be able to destroy mountains and rivers.
In the surroundings, the space started to tremble as formless ripples spread out and continuously condensed.
Indistinctly, an invisible great force was condensing, rushing towards the body in the center.
A shocking transformation was about to begin.
Outside, looking at these changes, Qi Yu's expression was serious, and he could not help but feel nervous.
Perfected Cultivators had become legends hundreds of years ago.
Ever since the last True Lord in the Eastern Continent had fallen hundreds of years ago, there were no more complete True Lords in the Eastern Continent.
If Chen Heng could become a True Lord in this era, it would be a shocking feat.
He would also become the only True Lord in this era.
Qi Yu knew what this meant, so he could not help but feel nervous.
"Please don't let anything happen …"
He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a little nervous.
The advancement of a True Monarch was different. If it failed, the consequences would be devastating.
If he really failed, even if he could survive, his cultivation foundation would most likely be destroyed, and he would not be able to advance any further in his life.
As such, to Chen Heng, he could only win this time. He could not afford to fail.
If he failed, there would be nothing left.
Thinking about that, Qi Yu's face became more and more solemn and nervous.
In a place that ordinary people could not see, a faint layer of golden Fortune was still burning, spreading out and covering Chen Heng's body.
In that instant, Chen Heng sensed this change.
"Fate energy entanglement?"
Sensing the Fortune falling on his body, Chen Heng thought to himself.
Fates were intertwined, this was the most common situation.
A person's fate was not only affected by their own choices, but also by the people around them.
Those who were close to the person with the Fortune would often be affected by the person with the Fortune and would be affected by the person with the Fortune.
In Chen Heng's eyes, this was what was happening in front of him.
When he tried to break through to the True Monarch Realm, Qi Yu's Heaven's Will was imbued into his body, making his Heaven's Will even more resplendent.
The faint golden Fortune on his body had already been completely ignited. At this moment, it was being consumed at an unprecedented rate.
A formless ripple spread out and turned into a corporeal power that covered Chen Heng's body.
With the help of Fortune energy, compared to ordinary people, Chen Heng's chances of successfully breaking through were much greater.
This was the level of Fortune.
In the real world, Chen Heng had cultivated for many years, and in order to break through on this day, he had purposefully polished his foundation to the extreme so that nothing unexpected would happen on this day.
After being reborn and using Chen Yu's memories in the future to re-cultivate, Chen Heng's foundation was incredibly sturdy, and his cultivation was even greater than that of many people.
It could be said that whether it was in terms of preparation or strength, he had surpassed the Chen Yu from his previous life and reached a whole new level.
In his previous life, even though Chen Yu had also reached the peak of Enlightened Master, by the time he reached that level, his Fortune had already been used up.
Moreover, his foundation could not be as sturdy as Chen Heng's.
In that attempt, he had failed, and everything had turned into corporeal memories that belonged to Chen Heng.
With this foundation, what would Chen Heng's end be like?
The answer was soon revealed.
Over the next three days, the spirit qi here continuously went berserk, and the ripples spread out in all directions, causing intense tremors.
Vaguely, even the spirit veins in this area were about to shift, greatly affected by the violent fluctuations.
Three days later, when Chen Heng's figure once again appeared and walked out of the lake, Qi Yu let out a sigh of relief.
Ahead, a young man's figure stood on the clear lake.
The faint sunlight shone on his body, revealing his appearance.
He wore a white robe with a unique pattern on it. His looks were handsome, and his figure was tall and straight. He walked out of the lake and came before Qi Yu.
Furthermore, his aura had become even more terrifying than before.
Qi Yu could sense that the current Chen Heng was like an abyss, constantly devouring the spirit qi in the surroundings and bringing it into his body.
A terrifying feeling of powerlessness appeared in Qi Yu's mind.
"Master, you succeeded?"
Looking at Chen Heng, a look of joy appeared on Qi Yu's face as he asked.
"Mm."
Looking at Qi Yu, Chen Heng smiled and nodded, "I barely succeeded."
However, I only succeeded just now.
It will take a long time to completely stabilize it. "
"Is that so?"
Qi Yu nodded, a look of joy on his face.
Chen Heng's success meant that he was now a True Lord.
In this era, a Perfected Cultivator was invincible.
Any enemy or obstacle was insignificant and weak in front of a Perfected Cultivator.
Thinking to there, Qi Yu could not help but feel incredibly excited, and his entire body trembled.
Looking at him like this, Chen Heng only smiled.
He raised his head and looked above his head. Then, he couldn't help but sigh.
Right now, the faint golden Fortune above his head had almost been completely used up.
Even though the Fortune was quite faint, it could still be clearly seen. However, now, only a bit of it was left.
Although the faint golden Flame of Destiny was still burning, it was clear that it wouldn't be long before it completely burned out.
When that time came, Chen Heng's Fortune would completely come to an end. In terms of fate, it would be no different from others.
Before, it would not have been like this.
According to Chen Heng's estimates, his Fortune should have lasted for another 20 years.
However, it was evident that in order to ascend, his Fortune had been used up even faster, and it had been completely used up.
The Fortune that could have lasted for another 20 years had been completely used up.
However, this was worth it.
He had already passed the biggest hurdle and successfully became a True Monarch.
This was enough.
As for Fortune, if it was gone, then so be it.
With his current strength, there was no one in this region who could go against him.
Even if he used up all of his Fortune, so what?
This thought flashed through his mind. At this moment, he thought so.
"Let's go."
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he smiled and said.
Bringing Qi Yu with him, he quickly returned to Bohai City.
The current Bohai City was completely different.
After being taken over by Chen Heng, Bohai City had become incredibly prosperous.
Even though there were still cultivators and Outlanders, and there were many of them, they were in the minority.
Large numbers of mortals filled the city, bringing new life to the city.
Chen Heng returned to the city and began to rest.
Having just become a True Lord, he needed a long period of time to stabilize his power.
This period of time took him a total of five years.
Five years later, under Chen Heng's control, Great Chen once again attacked, sweeping out in all directions.
Along the way, they did not have any enemies.
They continued to expand and finally threatened the other large sects.
As such, on an ordinary day, a few Enlightened Masters worked together to attack Qi Yu, wanting to capture him in one fell swoop.
After decades of tempering, Qi Yu had long since become a Enlightened Master. He was Great Chen's second-in-command and the leader of many battles.
If they could capture him, they would be able to force Great Chen to retreat and even threaten Great Chen's Emperor to hand over a large amount of compensation.
It was a pity that they had made the wrong decision.
In just one night, Chen Heng had killed many Enlightened Masters.
Blood was falling from the sky, dyeing the surroundings red.
After that night, the entire Eastern Continent's cultivation world was shocked.
Chen Heng had stepped over the blood and corpses of many Enlightened Masters and reached the peak of the Eastern Continent.
A Perfected Cultivator had appeared in the world.
Following this, everything became more and more logical.
In the Eastern Continent's cultivation world, no one was a match for a True Lord.
Under normal circumstances, Enlightened Masters were major figures at the peak, and not many people dared to offend them. However, to a True Lord, they were not worth mentioning at all.
In just a few years, Chen Heng had flattened many large sects, and Great Chen had devoured large amounts of territory.
In just a few years, a massive faction had been created.
After this attack, Great Chen absorbed the independent cultivators' power and greatly expanded its faction.
In just a short period of time, the situation in the Eastern Continent had stabilized.
Chen Heng had become the ruler of this world, and no one could compare to him.
After doing this, Chen Heng did not continue to act and returned to the Bohai Sea, calmly organizing his territory.
Time gradually passed.
In the blink of an eye, many years had passed.
Chen Heng sat in front of a luxurious palace by himself.
Within the vast palace, there were large amounts of runes and boundless spirit energy roiled out. There would be massive spirit energy tides surging out, making it extremely eye-catching.
Chen Heng stood in his palace by himself, silently waiting.
After a while, footsteps could be heard from outside.
Qi Yu quickly walked over and came before Chen Heng.
"Master."
He walked over to Chen Heng with a respectful expression as he looked at Chen Heng.
"Yu'er."
Chen Heng turned and looked at him as he smiled, "Have you prepared everything?"
"Most of the preparations have been made."
Qi Yu's expression was serious as he nodded, "I've brought those people."
"Very well."
Chen Heng nodded before walking away.
He left this place and came to another place with Qi Yu.
In front of them was a massive altar.
Below the altar, there were a few figures standing there.
They were cultivators, and their cultivations were generally not weak. Moreover, they were all very young.
Considering their ages, these people were all geniuses of their generation, geniuses that only appeared once in countless cultivators.
But at this moment, they were invited over by Qi Yu, gathering here.
From their expressions and gazes, it was evident that they were quite displeased with Qi Yu's actions.
However, neither Chen Heng nor Qi Yu paid much mind to this.
"These people came?"
Looking at these figures, Chen Heng raised his head and looked around.
Golden Fortune rose up in front of him.
Many of these people had Fortune, just like Chen Heng and Qi Yu.
Of course, some did not, or they had almost used up all of their Fortune.
"Was there some oversight in the end?"
Sensing this, Chen Heng thought to himself.
These people were all people that Chen Heng had asked Qi Yu to invite based on Chen Yu's memories.
These were all people who were supposed to rise in the future, and many of them were suspected to be Fated Ones.
However, from the looks of it now, even though the majority of them did indeed possess the Mandate of Heaven, there were also some who did not.
They had relied on themselves to reach this step, which was quite good.
"True Lord Yu …"
Seeing Chen Heng arrive, those people bowed and sighed as they said softly, "Just why did you invite us here?"
Some of these people were independent cultivators, some were leaders of large sects, and some were disciples of large sects.
In order to invite these people over, Qi Yu had expended a great deal of effort, and there was no lack of threats and promises to invite them over in the end.
However, even though they had been invited, they did not know what Chen Heng's goal was.
"It's actually nothing much."
Looking at these people, Chen Heng smiled and said, "I just wanted to give it a try.
"Everyone, please take a look."
He waved his hand, and on his palm, a huge yellow paper spread outwards and was placed in the center.
The yellow paper was very big, and there were runes engraved on it. The instant people saw them, they could not help but feel suffocated.
"This is …"
Looking at the yellow paper, the sky-prides were stunned and confused.
"A map of a passageway."
Chen Heng smiled as he said, "As everyone can see, this map is incomplete.
As such, I wanted to invite everyone here to see if this map could be completed.
"All of you are famous geniuses with peerless talent, so you should be able to give it a try."
He smiled as he said, "As long as you can complete this map, no matter how much you complete, I will reward you.
"Cultivation techniques, magic tools, spirit pills, anything that I have, you can ask for it."
Hearing this, everyone felt quite tempted.
No matter what, Chen Heng was the only True Lord in the world, and his strength and status were undeniable.
A reward from such a character couldn't possibly be too bad. Even a Daoist Master would be envious of such a reward.
If they could obtain it, it would be of great benefit to them in the future.
"It's just a map …"
That thought flashed in their minds before they looked down at the yellow paper.
In front of him, this yellow bast paper was filled with densely packed divine runes. Those runes were so complicated and unique that it caused one's scalp to go numb.
This was a rune that had been engraved in a passageway, and when Chen Heng had found it, it had been mostly incomplete.
However, compared to the other passageways, this was the passageway that had been preserved the best.
As such, Chen Heng memorized the runes on this passageway and prepared to repair it.
It was just that this was a bit too difficult.
Over the past few years, he had done his best to repair the parts that he could, but there were still many mistakes.
As such, he gathered these people together, trying to obtain their power to complete this map.
In terms of cultivation, these people were not a match for Chen Heng at all. Even if they attacked together, they would be able to defeat him with a single finger.
However, when it came to repairing runes, cultivation was not the only thing that mattered.
Moreover, most of these people had the Mandate of Heaven.
With their participation, under the influence of Heaven's Will, there might be a pleasant surprise in the end.
As such, Chen Heng had asked Qi Yu to invite these people over and have them participate.
Of course, these were not all of them; this was only the first batch.
In the following days, Chen Heng planned to invite a group of True Masters and grandmasters in the domain of Divine Runes to help repair this blueprint.
If they could complete this map, perhaps they would be able to slowly repair the passageway and enter other regions.
That was what Chen Heng was thinking.
