Inside the Place of Enlightenment, Ling Xian sat in a lotus position and pondered about his future.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not think of a way to achieve Dao.
There was a way to become a god. With his battle prowess that could crush those who approached the Dao, as long as the Divine Spirit Source appeared, he would be able to obtain it effortlessly.
However, achieving the Dao was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
It had been thirty thousand years, and no one had been able to ascend. Even the peerless geniuses that had stunned the ages could not see the slightest bit of hope.
"Although Gods have the power of invincibility, they do not have the ability to live forever. This is not what I want."
Ling Xian's gaze deepened. Becoming an immortal was the same as cutting off his path. Stepping into the Undefeatable Realm, there was a chance he could reach the ninth undefeatable realm. But if he becomes an immortal, then there would be no more chances for him to become an immortal.
Therefore, unless he has no other choice, he will not step into the Immortal Realm.
"The foreign realm's Heavenly Dao is complete. One can achieve the Dao and live forever." Ling Xian muttered to himself. He had a bold idea.
Go to the foreign realm to achieve the dao.
The other side's heavenly dao was flawless, everlasting and unmatched wasn't an extravagant hope.
But in the next second, Ling Xian rejected that idea.
When he achieved the dao, it would definitely startle the entire foreign realm. The pro-peace faction might not take action, but the pro-war faction wouldn't rest until he was dead.
Going to the other side to achieve the dao was no different from seeking death.
"The universe cannot be enlightened, the foreign land cannot …" Ling Xian softly sighed. He knew that other than letting nature take its course, there was no other way.
He might as well put this matter aside and think about how he could become a Cultivator who was close to the Dao.
Although he had a flawless foundation and could crush those who were close to Dao, he was only a Supreme. He was still a step away from reaching Dao.
In other words, there was still room for improvement.
"When I become a cultivator, only then will I be able to ascend to the peak of humanity." Ling Xian's eyes were deep. Though the path to immortality was broken, his goal was clear and determined.
First achieve the Dao, then become an immortal!
Ling Xian left the place where the Immortal King of Heaven and Earth was cultivating. He held hands with Lin Qing Yi and enjoyed a rare moment of peace.
Since leaving Kunlun Star, Xiao Chen had been fighting all the way. It was rare for him to be so relaxed.
Now that he'd ascended to the peak of the Mortal Dao, he didn't have to continue fighting, and he could finally relax for a period of time.
Looking at the mountains, looking at the water, looking at the world, Ling Xian and Lin Qing Yi walked side by side, looking at the Peacock Dynasty.
That kind of leisurely and contented life was really so enjoyable that it made one forget to go home, and one did not envy the gods.
…
It was extremely difficult to have a flawless foundation, and it was even more difficult to become an emperor in the human world.
It had been more than ten thousand years since a Great Emperor had appeared in the universe that could suppress the current era. Even those who had left their names in the annals of history had not perfected their foundations and become an Emperor in the mortal world.
Therefore, when the news that Ling Xian had nine undefeatable realms and defeated three people who were close to the Dao spread, everyone was shocked to a point of no return.
No one would have thought that a Great Emperor would appear in this generation and sweep across the world. What was even more unexpected was that the Great Emperor was not even 200 years old.
Furthermore, he had first stepped into the Supremacy Realm, and then had a flawless foundation.
This was just too inconceivable. Everyone's first reaction was to become sluggish. Becoming an emperor was one thing, but he actually broke the unchanging iron law of the ages. This was undoubtedly shocking.
After the shock, he felt ashamed.
Everyone who laughed at Ling Xian felt like they were slapped in the face. Their faces were burning with pain.
Those who wrung their wrists in regret also felt that they had eyes but failed to see.
To ascend to the peak of the Mortal Dao at the age of less than 200, how could such a heaven defying and monstrous genius be something that an ordinary person could guess?
The mockery disappeared, the pity disappeared as well. Just as Ling Xian predicted, there was only one sound left in the universe.
Praises.
The people of the world did their best to praise Ling Xian and placed him on a pedestal.
Whether it was Heaven's Favorites or omnipotent cultivators, everyone lost their light. Only Ling Xian was shining brightly and was competing with the Sun.
Just as everyone was discussing Ling Xian, the news of Little Stone and the little princess of the Peacock Dynasty's marriage, under the elder in white's propaganda, spread across the universe.
At first, everyone didn't think much of it.
Kong Ling had a highly respected position in the Peacock Dynasty, but in the universe, she was merely a small wave. Little Stone was even more unknown.
However, when they found out that Little Stone was Ling Xian's apprentice and that Ling Xian was going to personally host the wedding, everyone became excited.
In an era where there were no gods and no immortals, the Great Emperor was a living legend. He was an undefeatable being. Who didn't want to admire the Great Emperor?
Especially the leaders of the different forces, they prepared gifts at the first moment and headed towards the Peacock Dynasty.
Perhaps Ling Xian wasn't the best in the world, but his battling abilities were heaven defying. Defeating those who were close to the Dao was as easy as eating or drinking.
This meant all the forces in the universe had to bow down to him. Naturally, they had to form a good relationship with him.
Therefore, everyone headed towards the Peacock Dynasty in order to witness Ling Xian's glory.
…
Decorated with lanterns and colored banners, it was extremely lively. The inside and outside of the palace were joyous and filled with people.
Guests arrived at the palace one after another. They were either the leaders of the different forces or the powerhouses that ruled over a region. They were all top notch figures.
Those who weren't of high status or powerful enough had no right to enter the palace. Or in other words, they had no right to greet Ling Xian.
He was the Great Emperor. To put it bluntly, even Supremes had no right to talk to him.
Silhouettes descended one after another. Waves of heavenly energy shook the sky. Powerhouses from all over the universe arrived one after another. There were no less than 30 Supremes.
There were even seven or eight Near-Dao Cultivators who had never been seen before.
Without exception, they all came prepared with gifts. After entering the palace, they all retracted their Qi in fear of disturbing Ling Xian.
They gathered in groups of three to five and patiently waited for the wedding to begin and Ling Xian's arrival.
…
A gentle wind blew by and the purple bamboo forest rustled.
Ling Xian stood on top of a bamboo leaf with his hands behind his back as he admired the beautiful sunrise.
The faint golden sun slowly rose from the sea of clouds and sprinkled down a faint golden radiance, making him look like a god that looked down on the ancient nine heavens.
"200 years have passed in a flash. I cannot believe that I went from a handicap who could not cultivate to a top powerhouse."
Staring at the rising Sun, Ling Xian exclaimed and felt extremely fortunate.
Fortunate that he encountered the Painting of the Nine Immortals and fortunate that he met Ye Huashang. Or else he wouldn't have the glory he has today.
"The me today is truly a powerhouse. I can travel the world and soar through the nine heavens." Ling Xian smiled. He was somewhat happy and somewhat proud.
He really should be proud. It was merely 200 years. To others, they would still be in the sixth level.
But he was at the peak of the human path and could be called the Emperor. Even those close to the Dao had no right to sit on the same level as him.
This achievement was far too glorious. In the entire universe of both worlds, no one could match him.
"It's about time. We should head over." Lin Qing Yi smiled with dimples. Staring at the handsome Ling Xian, her eyes were full of tenderness and infatuation.
"After this, I will show you around the world." Ling Xian smiled warmly. Riding on the wind, he was out of this world.
"Don't regret it." Lin Qing Yi's smile dimmed the Sun and the bamboo forest lost its color.
The two of them held each other's hands tightly and their hearts connected. Like a pair made in heaven, they were a pair made in heaven.
The moment they appeared, all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell silenced.
Everyone was entranced by Lin Qing Yi's beauty and were in awe of Ling Xian's Qi.
It was far too terrifying. All eight directions shook, all nine levels of heaven shook, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.
