The path that generations of immortals walked was the path of immortality …
Ye Fan felt a chill from head to toe. This sentence made him think of many things. Was this the Great Empress's definition and understanding of immortality?
If she understood it this way, where did Ji Ziyue and Little Zi go? What kind of place did they enter? Ye Fan clenched his fists, feeling cold all over.
He couldn't speak for a long time and just sat there, unable to move.
He only calmed down after a long time. He felt that he might have been overthinking. The Great Empress had only said one sentence and it might not have meant that.
Ye Fan asked for guidance again, but the Great Empress ignored him. She was like a jade statue, beautiful and lustrous. She didn't speak anymore and treated her words like gold.
The Bronze Immortal Palace was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The outside world, however, was in an uproar. The Eastern Barren Territory was shaking and the universe was in chaos. The meeting of the two giants affected everyone's nerves!
"It's hard to imagine that the Divine Physique has reached this step. He can enter the abyss to talk to that person. That's … the Great Emperor!"
As someone from the same era as Ye Fan, when he looked back, he felt that it was unreal.
What did the Great Emperor mean? There were too many legends since ancient times! Who could compare? He was unreachable in the hearts of the people. Who was the Great Emperor? He was even stronger than the people of the Mythological Era and suppressed the gods.
Some people were sighing.
Ye Fan used to be at the same starting line as them, but now he was far ahead of them. He could sit face to face with the Great Emperor and talk.
At this moment, everyone was feeling complicated. This was especially so for those who had competed with Ye Fan before. Their eyes were filled with confusion.
It was their fortune to be able to live in the same era as such a person because they had witnessed a legend. It was also their misfortune. The stars were bright, but who could compete with them? Under their brilliance, all the other stars dimmed.
"Are there … immortals?" Under the abyss, Ye Fan's eyes were clear and he finally asked this fundamental question.
"Yes!"
Towards this question, the eyes of the Empress finally lit up. She opened her red lips and only said a single word, concise and to the point.
Ye Fan's heart trembled violently. It was as if a flame had been ignited in his sea of consciousness. It was like a celestial lamp illuminating the road ahead, dispersing the fog and making his gaze firm.
He stood up and performed a great bow. It was just a single word, but for him, it was worth more than a hundred ancient scriptures!
The Great Emperor Vicious had broken through the fabrications and pointed out a path for him. Immortals really did exist. This answer was like a lighthouse that flickered with radiance throughout the ages. The significance of this answer was profound and significant, and it strengthened his heart and dao.
If it was anyone else, it would only be a guess. Even if they said that there was an immortal, it would not be convincing.
Only Merciless Great Emperor's words could have such great influence!
Ye Fan sat there quietly for a long time and didn't speak anymore. He was thinking hard. He knew that the empress didn't want to talk too much. Some things could only be comprehended by oneself.
The Bronze Immortal Palace was silent, but the outside world was in an uproar. Experts from all over the universe were alarmed. Zhang Bairen, Dao Yi, and the others all came and stood outside the forbidden area of the Desolate Antiquity.
No one knew why it was like this. Almost everyone rushed here at the same time. They felt that the meeting between Ye Fan and the ruler of the forbidden area, who was suspected to be Merciless Great Emperor, would definitely have far-reaching effects.
In the end, the Emperor, Yin Tiande, the Divine Silkworm Daoist, and all the other experts had all arrived. They had a premonition that a great change was about to occur, and everyone wanted to understand it.
The Big Dipper was stirred up again!
"Why didn't the Great Emperor enter the Immortal Domain?" This was another question that Ye Fan asked. It was a probing question, carrying a trace of apprehension that he had only felt after becoming a matchless expert.
The empress' expression was calm, and there was not a trace of fluctuation on her beautiful face. Her eyes were as clear as water as she stared at Ye Fan. This was the first time she looked at him so carefully, as if she wanted to see through him completely.
Ye Fan suddenly calmed down and let go of everything. He looked at her face to face, and the bronze palace was completely silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Fan saw some scenes in those clear eyes that made his heart tremble. It was as if a huge stone had been thrown into the lake of his heart.
There was a little girl whose clothes were patched and tattered. Her face was dirty, and only her big eyes were like black gemstones, making people feel pity for her.
They had no parents and only a youth to rely on for survival. Even though they were poor, they were very happy, and they smiled every day.
The devil mask was their only toy. They didn't have any extravagant jewelry. In order to make the little girl happy, the youth used a bronze piece to make a ring for her. Even though it was very crude, the little girl treated it as a treasure.
Later on, the youth was discovered to be a genius and was forcefully taken away. In the end, he was even brought to the Five-Colored Altar.
The little girl cried loudly and ran away in her tattered little shoes. She begged bitterly, and the group finally agreed to let her see him off.
In front of the Five-Colored Altar … farewell!
Before leaving, the youth took away the devil mask and left behind the ring, leaving the little girl crying and falling to the ground alone. Her little hands were full of blood.
Later on, a great emperor rose up and shook the ages!
She didn't have talent and couldn't cultivate, but she defied the heaven and earth and became a celestial emperor. Her glory surpassed the past and present, and she became a legend.
Ye Fan sighed and looked at the empress in front of him.
In his heart, another figure appeared and overlapped with the empress.
Tattered little clothes, and even her little shoes had holes in her toes. When she was scolded, she lowered her head and retreated timidly. Her big eyes were filled with tears as she left alone with grievances. Her little back was very pitiful and lonely …
"Little girl!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but call out.
At this moment, the empress's eyes were no longer clear, but deep and flowing with nine-colored immortal light that penetrated Ye Fan's body, including his sea of consciousness.
Ye Fan didn't resist. He always felt that he had taken away too many things from the empress. The Nine Wonders Medicinal Fruit, the Myriad Qi, the Immortal Treasure Map … If she wanted to make a move, then let her.
He called out like that, but the empress was as calm as water and didn't respond.
The nine-colored immortal light flowed and finally disappeared, leaving no trace behind. Ye Fan looked at her in a daze, not knowing what she was doing. At this moment, the empress's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, unfathomable.
At this moment, Ye Fan was sure that little girl was also the empress. Was she the dao fruit that the ancient supremes spoke of? But he thought that it was the empress's happy and satisfied childhood. Although she was poor, she had no worries.
She had always been in the world of mortals.
The elites, even the peerless geniuses, couldn't become emperors because of their obsession, let alone immortals.
However, the Merciless Emperor rose because of his obsession and achieved the peerless body of an emperor. His glory shone through the ages, and no one could rival him.
There was no sound in the Bronze Immortal Palace. The empress was like a suet jade statue again. She didn't move, and her eyes were like the sea and the abyss.
No matter what Ye Fan asked, she didn't open her mouth again.
In the end, Ye Fan stood up and bowed to her. Apart from relatives, perhaps only the empress could bear this. After walking out of this palace, he could look down on the heavens.
When he reached the door of the bronze palace, Ye Fan stopped and said, "The life of the Great Emperor makes people sigh. This kind of life after life, what are you going to do?"
"Wait for your return."
Contrary to his expectations, the Empress spoke again before she left, and this time, she said such a sentence.
Ye Fan's body trembled and froze on the spot. He remembered that in the blurry image he saw just now, the youth was no different from him.
After standing there for a long time, Ye Fan's heart calmed down. He knew that the person the Merciless Emperor was waiting for was not him. That "you" was only one person, and it was that youth.
As a Great Emperor, he thought for a moment and saw through the truth. It was right to say that the Merciless Emperor was waiting for him, waiting for him to reach the peak of his glory to see if they could reflect the same flower soul.
How strong of an obsession was this?
After thinking deeply, Ye Fan's heart moved again. The empress's gaze was too deep. What she wanted to see, what she wanted to see, was also related to the extreme secrets of immortality.
Not for immortality, but to wait for her return in this world of mortals.
Ye Fan turned around and left in large strides. He leapt into the ancient abyss and walked out of this forbidden area. There were many people waiting there.
Everyone felt that a great change was about to happen. However, when Ye Fan came out, although they felt that he was different, nothing special happened.
Everyone was startled.
After this experience, Ye Fan's temperament was different. His gaze was unprecedentedly firm as if he wanted to see through the past and present.
"Brother Ye, did you gain anything?" Huo Lin 'er also came. After not seeing her for many years, she was even more elegant than before. Her figure was slender and extremely beautiful.
"Immortal!" Ye Fan only said this word without hiding anything.
However, everyone felt a wave of suspicion when they heard this. They looked at each other in dismay. Everyone was gathered here and had a premonition, but they didn't expect it to be this one-word answer.
Many people didn't understand, but Ye Fan didn't explain anything.
Outside the ancient forbidden area, Komatsu led the little girl. The little girl's pure and flawless eyes were filled with happiness. Seeing him return safely, she waved at him with a faint smile.
Ye Fan walked over and picked her up. He placed her on his shoulder and left with Komatsu in large strides.
The true experts watched quietly and didn't say anything else.
In the distance, a few small cultivators revealed strange expressions. Was there still someone in this world who could sit on the shoulder of a great emperor? Perhaps it was only the relatives by his side.
"Master, did you gain anything?" Komatsu asked when they arrived outside this region.
Ye Fan sighed. His eyes dimmed. He had a great harvest. There was a divine lamp lit up in front of him, and he was unprecedentedly firm and confident. However, this path was too difficult and needed time. Could those people who were about to die of old age afford to wait?
"The demonic old man doesn't have much time left. I feel like he will pass away in meditation within a few hundred years," Komatsu said in a soft voice.
"If I forcefully take action, will they be angry?" Ye Fan asked softly.
After this day, Ye Fan sat cross-legged in Undying Mountain. There were no distracting thoughts in his heart, only thinking about longevity and immortality. The emperor's path was the final point. All supreme beings since the ancient times had reached this point.
The path had already reached its end. There was no other path ahead.
"If there is no path, then we'll just step on a new one and continue it ourselves."
Ye Fan knew that this was very difficult. There were so many heroes since the ancient times. The Celestial Being of the Legendary Era, the Archaic Emperor, and the Great Emperor of the Ancient Era all seemed to have failed. He was very strong, but could he defeat everyone?
However, if he didn't do this, what else could he do? That almost illusory path of ascension needed another million years. In this world, apart from relying on himself, what else could he do?
