The sun hung high in the sky, dazzling and resplendent.
A white-robed man stepped on the clouds. He was delicate and handsome, elegant and otherworldly.
He returned to his true self, deep and unfathomable. As soon as he appeared, he seized the radiance of the great sun, all of the scenery in this world losing color.
It was the Heart of the Celestial Emperor.
He had the heart of a Last Generation Immortal King, and his foundation was flawless. His combat strength was formidable to the extreme, and it was comparable to the Last Generation Lord of the Heavenly Court.
"Congratulations on stepping into the Celestial Realm." Celestial Emperor Xin stood with his hands behind his back, his celestial appearance illuminating the universe, extraordinary and peerless.
"You're heavily injured. You didn't come here just to congratulate me, did you?"
Ling Xian frowned. There was a curse-like power inside the Emperor of Heaven's Heart that was destroying his physical body and soul. He shouldn't have come out of isolation unless something serious happened.
"That's right. Let's talk somewhere else." Celestial Emperor's Heart flicked his sleeve, and the world suddenly changed. The Great Sun Mountain couldn't be seen anymore, and only the boundless starry sky could be seen.
Ling Xian's expression was calm. He was not surprised and did not resist.
If he resisted, the Celestial Emperor's Heart would not be able to pull him into the small world even if he used all his strength.
"You know about the ten forbidden areas, right?" Celestial Emperor Xin went straight to the point. Other than strength, he had inherited everything from the last Celestial King, so his personality was more or less influenced.
The personality of the last ruler of the Sky Court was similar to the Keeper of Land and Sea, cold as an iceberg.
"I know. Did something happen to the Ten Forbidden Areas?" Ling Xian frowned slightly. The Master of the Netherworld Valley was his master's wife and she treated him extremely well.
The lords of the Saint Sunset Mountain, the Jade Drop Pool, and the Reincarnation Ocean also had a close relationship with him.
"That's right. My previous self left a puppet in a forbidden zone. If the puppet disappears, it means that the lord of the forbidden zone has fallen."
Celestial Emperor Xin sighed softly and said, "This also means that it won't be long before the Sacred Region's army arrives in the universe."
"Sorry for the trouble."
Ling Xian's heart dropped. Only the Holy Kind dared to make a move against the leader of the Forbidden Zone. The 10 Forbidden Zones were like brothers and sisters, they couldn't just stand by and watch.
In other words, the pro-war faction had made a move against the ten forbidden areas.
Ling Xian still remembered the words of the pro-war leader: if you want to fight the outside world, you must first settle the inside.
The Ten Great Forbidden Areas were the inner world, and the universe was the outer world. If the Ten Great Forbidden Areas were destroyed, then the universe wouldn't be far from being destroyed.
"I'm not too sure about the specifics. However, what I can be certain of is that one of the lords of the Forbidden Region has already fallen."
Celestial Emperor's Heart looked at the starry sky and said, "Do you know the secret of the ten great forbidden zones?"
"I know. The Ten Great Forbidden Areas are the only pure lands left in the Sanctuary. They are not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao."
"If the 10 forbidden zones fall, then the Heavenly Path of the Holy Realm will be complete. It will truly control all living beings and nobody will be able to escape its control." Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together in worry.
He was afraid that the Netherworld Valley Master and the others would die in battle, and he was also afraid that the Saint realm's Heavenly Dao would be complete.
"That's right. Once the Sanctuary's Heavenly Dao is complete, it will be a piece of cake to devour the Heavenly Dao of the universe. At that time, all of us will be reduced to mere puppets of the Heavenly Dao." Celestial Emperor Xin sighed.
"We cannot just stand by and watch. We have to help." Ling Xian's eyes darkened. The Holy Realm could destroy the universe in two steps.
The first step was to destroy the ten forbidden zones.
The second step was to break the Heaven Abyss.
Once Heaven's Abyss breaks, even if Ling Xian becomes an immortal king and kills all the undefeatable beings, he won't be able to stop the Heavenly Dao.
Plus, the Leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain and the Leader of the Sea of Samsara had saved Ling Xian's life, how could he just sit back and do nothing?
"The leaders of the 10 forbidden zones are allies of the universe. I want to save them as well."
"Sadly, I cannot. Though your capabilities are above mine, you are not an immortal king."
Celestial Emperor Xin sighed, "The only thing we can do is to repair the Heavenly Dao."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was silent.
With his capabilities today, even if all the ancestors attacked him together, they wouldn't be able to touch him. But he was no opponent of the Saint Rulers.
Once he makes a move, he will die.
The safety of all living beings depended on him. If he dies, then the universe will truly have no hope.
"I am cursed. Though my life is not in danger, it will be hard for me to return to my prime within 100 years."
Celestial Emperor Xin softly sighed, "The heavy responsibility of repairing the Heavenly Dao will have to be handed over to you."
"This concerns the safety of all living beings. Naturally, I will do my best." Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. He predicted that the pro-war faction would make a move against the 10 forbidden zones, but he didn't think this day would come so soon.
The universe was already in a precarious situation. If all 10 forbidden zones fall, then the universe won't be far from destruction.
"Don't worry too much. The 10 forbidden zones have existed since time immemorial. There are at least two Saint Rulers. To destroy the 10 forbidden zones is not an easy task." Celestial Emperor Xin said softly.
"Two Saint Rulers …" Ling Xian sighed in relief. The 10 forbidden zones were the last pure land of the Holy Realm. The Heavenly Dao cannot invade them and they had to borrow the hands of the Saint Clan.
The Saint Rulers were powerhouses. If the Heavenly Dao doesn't appear, it would be hard for them to die.
"The reason why I am telling you this is because I hope you can prepare."
Celestial Emperor Xin looked at Ling Xian with a complex expression, "Though I don't want to admit it, in terms of capabilities and potential, you are above me. If anyone can save the universe, it is without a doubt, you."
"You are exaggerating. You are the Heart of the Last Immortal King and your foundation is flawless. Becoming an Immortal King is only a matter of time." Ling Xian smiled. The moment the Heart of Celestial Emperor was born, he had the capabilities of an Immortal King.
His foundation was perfect and flawless, and he had inherited the memories and knowledge of the last Immortal King. Becoming an Immortal King was as easy as flipping his hand.
"Even so, I still can't compare to you. I should return to recuperate. Remember, don't go to the Saint Region no matter what." The Heavenly Emperor Heart's figure faded and disappeared.
The scene before Ling Xian's eyes changed. It was no longer the endless milky way. Instead, it was beautiful mountains and beautiful women.
"What did he say to you?" Gong Suo Xin smiled, curious.
"Nothing." Ling Xian softly shook his head. Staring into the sky, he found it hard to conceal his worry.
Although the power of the Heavenly Way could not invade the restricted areas, and there were two Saint Kings in the ten great restricted areas, since the pro-war faction dared to attack the ten great restricted areas, it meant that they were confident.
Even if he couldn't destroy the Ten Great Forbidden Areas, he could destroy a few. It was very likely that they would be the Saint Luo Mountain, the Reincarnation Sea, the Yellow Springs Valley, and the Jade Fall Pool.
The leaders of the four forbidden areas had all helped him. The leader of the Saint Sunset Mountain and the leader of the Sea of Samsara had even saved his life!
If he did nothing, Ling Xian's conscience wouldn't be able to rest easy.
At that moment, he made up his mind to go to the Sanctuary.
The Ling Xian today was the strongest under the Immortal King Stage. Killing real immortals was as easy as flipping his hand.
Though he was no opponent of the Saint Kings, he had the Light of Cracks. As long as he was careful, he would not die in the Sanctuary.
"Back then, you saved my life. Today, it is my turn to save you."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself and shifted his gaze towards Lin Qing Yi. He smiled, "Qing Yi, I have something to do. Wait for me here."
Then, he looked at Gong Suo Xin, the Mushroom, and Yu Xun Zhen. He smiled, "You do the same. Wait for me. We will live here in seclusion and no longer care about the world."
Hearing this, Lin Qing Yi frowned. Gong Suo Xin and the others did the same.
They weren't idiots. How could they not realize that Ling Xian was about to do something dangerous?
"Ling Xian, can you not go?" The Mushroom hesitated.
"If I don't go, I won't be able to rest easy."
Ling Xian grinned, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. If I'm lucky, I might be able to give you a surprise."
"What surprise?" The Mushroom was a little startled and confused.
"If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore."
Ling Xian smiled warmly and shifted his gaze down the mountain, "After I get rid of them, I will leave."
