The grey-haired man smiled. His snow-white teeth flashed with luster, and his eyes were deep. "I'm still alive."
"Who are you lying to? It's been more than 125,000 years and you're still alive. Don't tell me the emperor's corpse is psychic, or are you fake to begin with?" The fatty shouted and quickly retreated.
However, his spirit sense was sharp and soon sensed a familiar aura. He was dumbfounded and said with a trembling voice, "You … Don't tell me you're really Ye Fan?"
"It's me." Celestial Emperor nodded. He was still sitting at the entrance of the tomb and looked at him quietly.
"Scaring people to death. Do you know that this is how you do things?! Oh right, how did you survive? " Of course, he was Duan De. At this moment, his mind was in a mess and his mouth was dry. He couldn't accept this fact.
"I lived one life after another. This is the later years of my fourth life," Ye Fan said.
Duan De's eyes almost popped out. He stared at him as if he was looking at a monster and said, "Damn you, did I really let you defy the heavens? I've only accumulated five Reincarnation Seals so far. Although my speed has increased in this life, I'm still far from the theoretical deduction of nine Reincarnation Seals to become an immortal. I can't believe you've reached this step. "
Ye Fan heard this and was greatly moved. He stared at Duan De and looked at the five pure white seals in his body. He suddenly felt that there were endless mysteries.
Duan De had a guilty conscience and hurriedly retreated. However, as Celestial Emperor, Ye Fan could naturally see through all the great secrets. A short stare was a great harvest!
"Sigh, I won't be able to dig up your Celestial Emperor's tomb in this life. Let me help you speculate. Although you said you're already in your later years, why do I feel that you can still live for more than 10,000 years? You're most likely going to die after me in this life. This poor Daoist is very unhappy!"
Duan De rolled his eyes and stared at him indignantly. In this life, Ye Fan might send him off again and see him enter the burial ground first. It really made him feel strange.
After so many years, Duan De was used to seeing life and death. Generation after generation of friends and relatives left him, and he was always the one to send them off. He never thought that he would meet a pervert who would stare at him and die first.
"I don't have much time. Within two hours, I will sever everything, only leaving behind a mysterious technique to protect my body," said Duan De. He was truly reborn. When they met again, it would be the end of the road, and they would no longer be acquainted.
"I'll wait for you to complete the Nine Seals of Samsara." Ye Fan nodded, and then he smiled, saying, "Or perhaps when you're in your later years, I'll come to see you off, infuse your memory divine crystal with everything from your last life."
"You really are a freak. I don't believe that I'll still be able to see you the next time I open my eyes!" Duan De turned around and left in a rather carefree and straightforward manner. Just like that, he vanished into the world of mortals.
Ye Fan watched him leave into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh. Since ancient times, how many outstanding people had stepped onto the path of heaven in search of immortality, advancing wave after wave without any complaints or regrets? Yet today, not a single person succeeded, and most of them died along the way.
Even someone as powerful as him was still fumbling around, and he hadn't truly become immortal. He had only walked a little further on this path.
However, it was precisely this group of people with no regrets that made the path of immortality brilliant and colorful. The Venerable Emperor was renowned throughout the ages of legends, the Heavenly Emperor reigned supreme among the ten thousand ancient races, the ruthless people shocked both ancient and modern times, the Great Emperor Wu Shi swept through the nine heavens and ten earths, and there was even someone with great perseverance like Duan De, who went through tribulation with his body again and again. He wanted to live nine different lives, and create a true cycle of reincarnation.
Some of them died, some met a tragic end, some were still persistent, and some were still on the path. They bloomed with the most resplendent light, and played a sonorous battle song on this path.
Ye Fan returned to the Celestial Court, and he sealed Ye Tong, Komatsu, Jiang Tingting, and the others. He only left the primal chaos baby behind, and he was going to personally teach her for a few years.
Just like that, four years passed. Even someone as powerful as the Celestial Emperor couldn't help but sigh in admiration. This type of exceptional physique was innately suited for cultivation, and any method could be carried forward in her hands.
"Grandmaster, can I be as strong as you in the future?" Little Ye Xian blinked her big eyes and asked.
"You can become an emperor, and you should be invincible in this lifetime. However, you need to know that there are always people better than you out there, and there are always people better than you out there. So far, the grandmaster doesn't dare to say that his combat ability is the best since ancient times. Your bloodline may give you an advantage, but it doesn't represent your final achievements," Ye Fan warned.
The little girl nodded and cultivated very seriously.
After another half a year, Ye Fan sealed her. This was not the time for her to shine, and her glory was destined to come in one of the future generations, because the Celestial Emperor had a premonition of something.
After these few years of getting along with the little girl, Ye Fan had also gained a lot from teaching her Dao techniques, and he truly understood the mystery of the Chaotic Body.
"Is it really like what the people say? Only the Innate Saint Body and Dao embryo can be compared to it, "he said softly as he looked into the horizon.
Other than this, there might also be the stone egg under the Undying Heaven Blade. It was very mysterious, and it had yet to appear. If the Venerable Emperor had an heir, it was destined to be unpredictable.
At the thought of this, Ye Fan smiled again. This silly child Shen Wa was definitely a heaven-defying one!
"Huh!" Suddenly, Ye Fan's mind shook violently. He then calmed his mind and deduced, and he sighed, "A similar flower has finally appeared. Is this messing up my Dao heart and denying my path?"
He had already deduced it, but it would take some time to actually find it.
On Gouchen Ancient Star, an old man with sparse hair walked in the mortal world. He saw Duan De at first glance, and he looked as if he had seen a ghost. He then chased after him and said, "Dao friend, please wait."
Duan De staggered and somersaulted. He gnawed on the soil and got up, saying, "Damn my bad luck, I can't even walk and fall."
Now, he had long forgotten the past and only remembered the present, but there was always a thought in his head that reminded him to find something.
"You really are … Dao Master Duan?" The old man's eyes widened, and he was extremely shocked.
"You were the one who tripped me just now?" Duan De frowned.
"Dao friend, please calm down. Peace is the most important thing in all things." The old man smiled and shook his big head. He moved forward and wanted Duan De to recognize him.
"Why does it sound so familiar to me? It seems like I've heard it in more than one lifetime. "Duan De shuddered, then he tore apart the void and disappeared from this place.
"Emperor level physical body, but he lost his memory. Did he succeed in another lifetime? I think this immortal physical body will be cut off by itself soon, "the old man muttered to himself. He was the God of Misfortune, Great Sage Huntuo. Back then, he had sealed himself before his lifespan ended.
Not long after, Great Sage Huntuo went to the Celestial Court and asked to see the Celestial Emperor. After he reported his name, to his surprise, even though many lifetimes had passed, there was still someone who recognized him.
"You are … the legendary God of Misfortune?!"
"Dao friend, you flatter me. But why do you remember me?"
"I'm not flattering you, I'm just scared. I've seen the ancient book about the Celestial Emperor's struggle for hegemony in the Great Era. There's a portrait of you inside. It's really the same. You … can't be a real person, right? "
"It's me."
As soon as he said this, there was a vacuum in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate. A group of people stepped back and shouted, "Don't come over. Wait here, we'll go and report for you."
When Ye Fan saw Huntuo again, he was a little speechless. This God of Misfortune actually survived, but he was really unreasonably old.
"Dao friend, thank you for giving me the Dragon Chimera back then. It allowed me to live for another 800 years," Huntuo said.
Ye Fan nodded and invited him to sit. Regarding the Dragon Chimera, it was merely something he exchanged with the other party's descendants in the stone square when he was weak.
"Dao friend, I'm here to deliver a letter to you. I've seen two people, both old acquaintances, but they don't recognize me anymore. They've lost their memories."
Huntuo mentioned Duan De and then another person. It turned out to be An Miaoyi.
"It's really her. A similar flower has appeared." Ye Fan sighed. In the end, he activated old Huntuo's blood and meridians, using Celestial Emperor's forbidden method to prolong his life for two thousand years. He was going to send him away.
"Can I stay? I can even guard the Southern Heavenly Gate." Huntuo hoped that one day, Ye Fan could seal him in the Celestial Court to show his loyalty.
In the end, there was a Divine General with sparse hair in front of the Southern Heavenly Gate, causing all the Celestial Soldiers to feel goosebumps.
It was still the Big Dipper. In the same divine city, a young girl in clothes as white as snow was strolling. As soon as she entered the city, she alarmed a few ancient sects.
"This young girl is very similar to a person on the Portrait of the Proud Son of Heaven!"
"It's … An Miaoyi! But that's not right. She should have died a long time ago. "
The young girl was mischievous. She giggled and said, "I'm from the Western Desert."
When Ye Fan descended and found her, he felt a wave of sadness in his heart. They had the same appearance, just a little more immature, but their primordial spirits were completely different.
"Celestial Emperor!"
"Celestial Emperor is here!"
At this moment, the divine city was shaken. People rushed over in a frenzy, causing a huge wave.
"Ya, you're Celestial Emperor. Can you accept me as a disciple?" The young girl asked innocently. She was much more immature and pure than An Miaoyi back then. She was now sixteen or seventeen years old.
"I can." Ye Fan nodded. He only said this. He knew that he would never see the real An Miaoyi again. She could never appear in this world again.
After more than a hundred thousand years, a similar flower finally appeared, but her primordial spirit was completely different. It seemed like An Miaoyi was only comforting him back then, telling him not to be sad.
When he thought of this, Celestial Emperor felt great pain in his heart. Even though his current battle prowess was heaven-defying and could look down on all experts since ancient times, he still felt a wave of powerlessness.
"Why do I feel so familiar when I'm with Celestial Emperor? It's as if it happened yesterday." The young girl muttered in a low voice.
Ye Fan was startled. He didn't say anything else and brought her back to the Celestial Court. After carefully observing her primordial spirit, he began to personally teach her great techniques from that day onwards.
The young girl's name was Kou Xiaoxiao. Her personality was lively, pure, and didn't have any schemes. Compared to the An Miaoyi of the past, the difference in personality was too great.
Ye Fan earnestly taught her great techniques, fulfilling the promise he made to another person in the past. He protected her, allowing her strength to advance by leaps and bounds.
As for feelings, he only saw Kou Xiaoxiao as a disciple, a daughter. It was because she was completely different from the person of the past. Looking at her brilliant smile, Ye Fan was in a trance. Glistening tears welled up in his eyes. In the end, he could only sigh.
This was the first time Celestial Emperor had been so dejected in the past hundred thousand years. Afterwards, his gaze became deep, and there were no other fluctuations in his emotions.
When he looked back, the white-clothed woman in the divine city seemed to still be there, but she wasn't the person in front of him. There was only sadness that quietly flowed through the years.
In the end, Ye Fan gave a rare treasure to Kou Xiaoxiao. It was a strange item he cut out in the northern divine city in the past. Its name was Immortal Melody, and it could emit waves of divine sounds and flow with five-colored divine light.
Legend has it that as long as one entered the immortal world, the Immortal Melody would turn into an immortal scripture. Back then, he gave it to An Miaoyi, and now, he gave it to this similar flower.
"I've seen this kind of rare treasure in ancient texts. Since the ancient times, only one or two have appeared. Rumor has it that if it is brought into the immortal world, the immortal sound it emits can awaken one's past and present lives." Kou Xiaoxiao liked it a lot.
This was a golden era. A similar flower disturbed the tranquility in Ye Fan's heart, but his dao became even more resolute. His gaze became incomparably deep as he looked towards the immortal path.
Ye Fan accepted this last disciple, shocking the great cosmos.
To be able to be accepted as a disciple by the Celestial Emperor, what kind of glory and luck was this? For hundreds of thousands of years, it was unknown how many people wanted to enter this path, but in the end, they could only sigh with regret.
Five hundred years later, Kou Xiaoxiao became the Quasi-emperor, and a thousand years later, she achieved the dao through a different method. The white-clothed fairy was unmatched under the heavens, her radiance illuminating the world!
Everyone calmed down and thought about it carefully. She was the disciple of the Celestial Emperor, so for her to have such accomplishments was still within an acceptable range.
The Celestial Emperor was terrifying after all, unmatched throughout the ages. This was what everyone felt.
Ye Fan turned around, vaguely seeing through the river of time again. He saw the exceptionally beautiful An Miaoyi, smiling at him from the distance, making him silent.
"The immortal path will open!" This was the roar of the Celestial Emperor.
"Correct, the immortal path will open in the end!" At this moment, someone in the cosmos responded to him.
Big Dipper, Eastern Wasteland.
An ancient pagoda rushed up, immortal energy curling about it, shaking the ancient skies. A great emperor rose up, reappearing in this world. He was the Azure Emperor, his true body had returned!
The entire world was shaken. The Azure Emperor was still alive, and he actually didn't die?!
Ye Fan took a step forward, welcoming him, reuniting with the Fiend Emperor in the starry sea.
Now that the Azure Emperor had reappeared, he had already adjusted himself to his peak state. He was heroic and imposing, his black hair scattered behind him. His gaze was like lightning, like a lotus in the ancient skies, reproducing the exceptional elegance of the past.
"My path was wrong. I've reached the end, yet I can't see any hope. Today will be the final battle of my life," the Azure Emperor said calmly. The ancient pagoda above his head rumbled.
The pagoda was simple and unadorned, with a total of nine floors. The power of time flowed through it, as if it ran through the entire history of cultivation.
"I will protect you and lend you a hand," Ye Fan said.
"Alright!" The Azure Emperor nodded. With a raise of his hand, a lotus weapon flew over from the Big Dipper, appearing in his palm. After he brandished it, the cosmos rumbled with thunder, the primal chaos surged, splitting heaven and earth.
Just like that, with the ancient pagoda above his head and the lotus weapon in his hand, he carried out the final battle of his life, wanting to forcefully break through the Immortal Domain!
This was not the right time, nor was it the right place, because it was already too late. Only the two most powerful people since the ancient times stood side by side.
"Boom!"
In the past one hundred thousand years, the strongest heaven-defying attack erupted. The Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor attacked together, shaking the vast cosmos.
Boundless immortal light erupted. The ancient pagoda struck, the lotus weapon hummed, and the Azure Emperor roared. He entered a passage made of blazing light. Ye Fan's Emperor's Fist also pierced through that passage!
When everything ended and the auspicious light faded, the spatial crack that extended to many galaxies slowly closed. The ancient pagoda remained where it was, and only Ye Fan stood there alone.
"A sorrowful painting. How many heroes were buried in foreign lands? How many brilliance will never be seen again …"
After a long time, Ye Fan muttered softly. He did not know if the Azure Emperor had succeeded or not. A few broken lotus leaves withered and drifted down where he stood.
The cosmos was vast and silent, but it could not bury the sad songs of the path to Immortality. Looking into the distance, generation after generation of outstanding talents fell on this path. The Emperor of Fighting, who vowed to become a War Immortal, the brilliant Fiend Monarch Xue Yueqing, and the Eternal Clear Sky Lotus … the path to Immortality was filled with sad songs!
