Alternative Dao Attainment!

Yang Qing secluded himself atop Sacred Cliff. The major Forbidden Zones of Life lay silent, but the entire universe was abuzz.

Everything that had happened during this period was earth-shattering. Few such events had occurred throughout all of history.

With so many momentous events happening at once, it was impossible not to shake the universe and set countless people talking.

"This generation's Saint Body is far too formidable! He had only just reached Great Accomplishment, yet he has already suppressed three Supremes in succession!"

"This is actually a good thing. As long as the Great Accomplishment Saint Body remains undefeated, such strength will instead make the Forbidden Zones of Life deeply wary!"

"The only fear is that the Great Accomplishment Saint Body will not stop. If he drives the Forbidden Zones of Life into desperation, it may bring about a catastrophic disaster!"

Some praised the Great Accomplishment Saint Body for suppressing three Supremes in succession, his achievements eclipsing the ages as he wrote a brilliant stroke into the river of history.

Others were deeply worried, believing the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was too domineering and might provoke the combined assault of the Forbidden Zones of Life.

Whatever their thoughts, no one could deny the strength of this generation's Great Accomplishment Saint Body. Suppressing three Supremes was the best proof.

Some believed this generation's Great Accomplishment Saint Body was the strongest Saint Body in history and might possibly slay even more Supremes in the future.

Meanwhile, the force binding Ji Xukong had already dissipated. As he looked toward the ninth Emperor Pass, his gaze became incomparably resolute.

"I must Prove Dao and Become Emperor as soon as possible!"

When the Great Accomplishment Saint Body had fought alone, he had been powerless!

When Yang Qing had battled the Supremes, he had likewise been powerless!

When Yang Qing had charged into Undying Mountain, he had still been powerless!

He never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness again. Only by Proving Dao and Becoming Emperor could he gain the qualifications to fight Supremes.

He, Ji Xukong, would claim the ninth Emperor Pass and its legendary fortune of becoming an emperor!

Within Sacred Cliff, Yang Qing had cast aside all distractions and immersed himself in the deepest state of cultivation.

Ever since undergoing his tribulation, he had remained in constant battle without a moment's rest. His extraordinary combat instincts had been continuously stimulated.

It was a terrifying instinct, allowing him to adjust himself to his optimal combat state in battle and grow stronger the longer he fought.

After bloody battles and repeatedly shattering his own limits, all of it had now become part of his foundation, helping him climb to a higher realm.

During his tribulation, he had linked the Human Body's Four Great Secret Realms, turning them into a great dragon that forced its way into the Immortal Platform Realm.

That was why, although his Saint Body had only reached Great Accomplishment, his combat power surpassed that of ordinary Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies.

Yes! Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies also had different levels!

The initial stage of a Great Accomplishment Saint Body was to recultivate the Five Great Secret Realms of the Human Body after reaching the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

A Great Accomplishment Saint Body at this level possessed an unparalleled physical body and overwhelming vitality, capable of fighting Supremes in bloody battle without falling behind.

Relying on the advantage of abundant vitality, one could completely exhaust a Supreme to death. However, once a Supreme underwent Ultimate Ascension, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body would likely be no match.

The only method was still to outlast them. By relying on one's deep reserves of vitality and dragging things out until the weakness following a Supreme's Ultimate Ascension, the Supreme would perish on their own.

Yet this was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. One slight mistake, and one would be dragged down together by a Supreme who had undergone Ultimate Ascension.

The second stage was to take another step beyond Great Accomplishment of the Saint Body and achieve Alternative Dao Attainment.

A Great Accomplishment Saint Body at this level possessed heaven-shaking combat power and had already touched the domain of a Great Emperor, truly able to contend with one.

Even against a Supreme who had undergone Ultimate Ascension, a Great Accomplishment Saint Body at this level could clash head-on without yielding in the slightest.

The third stage was to take another step beyond Alternative Dao Attainment and step into Proving Dao and Becoming Emperor.

A Saint Body becoming an emperor had never happened since ancient times. This was the shackles of heaven and earth, like invisible chains binding the Saint Body.

But as long as one could shatter the shackles of heaven and earth, once a Great Accomplishment Saint Body Proved Dao and Became Emperor, its combat power would become astonishing beyond measure.

It would stand above Great Emperors and even touch the domain of a Heavenly Emperor, becoming one of the few peak powerhouses throughout history.

At present, he was roughly between the initial stage of Great Accomplishment Saint Body and the second stage.

He was stronger than ordinary Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies, but not yet capable of confronting Supremes who had undergone Ultimate Ascension head-on.

That had been the case when he fought the two Supremes of Undying Mountain. He had only exhausted the two Supremes to death by relying on his deep reserves of vitality.

If he wanted to advance further, he had to take the step of Alternative Dao Attainment upon the foundation of his Great Accomplishment Saint Body. This was, in truth, an exceedingly difficult step.

As far as he knew, in this era when nine Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies had appeared one after another, only one had reached this step.

"An invincible Dao and law, an invincible Dao Heart—forge them into one furnace and undergo the ultimate transformation!"

To achieve Alternative Dao Attainment, one first had to create an invincible Dao and law. But what kind of Dao and law could be called invincible?

Walking one's own path, creating cultivation techniques most suited to oneself, and remaining in the Divine Forbidden Domain for long periods—this was an invincible Dao and law.

Every Great Emperor of the human race had created an Emperor Scripture. Remaining in the Divine Forbidden Domain was merely the most basic requirement for a human Great Emperor.

He had likewise taken this step, embracing ten thousand Daos within himself, gathering a hundred scriptures into one body, forging them in a single furnace, and creating his own invincible Dao and law.

As for an invincible Dao Heart, that was actually easier to understand!

If one believed oneself invincible, then one possessed an invincible Dao Heart!

However, merely believing so was of little use. One also had to withstand the trials.

Some believed themselves invincible, only to be knocked down by a casual slap. How could they still think themselves invincible?

A Great Emperor went undefeated throughout the way, defeated all geniuses, swept aside all heroes, and killed until the world fell silent. That was the principle.

He was much the same. At the ninth Emperor Pass, he had defeated all the geniuses of the current age, and an invincible heart had already been forged within him.

After that, he underwent the Heavenly Tribulation, slew the two Supremes of Undying Mountain, and suppressed the Undying Daoist!

He had gone undefeated all the way. After killing and killing, it was difficult even for him not to believe himself invincible!

Thus, forging an invincible Dao Heart was actually simple: sweep through everything along the way, and the invincible Dao Heart would naturally form.

The hardest part was ensuring that, after suffering defeat, one's Dao Heart would not collapse—rising again and suppressing every person who had once defeated oneself.

From this perspective, the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor of later generations was undoubtedly a ruthless figure. He became an emperor after a hundred defeats, the sole example throughout the ages.

He had already forged an invincible Dao Heart, and he also possessed an invincible Dao and law. Now, all that remained was to take that step toward a breakthrough.

For others, this might have been an exceedingly difficult step. But for him, it was merely cultivation. What was so difficult about that?

He transformed bit by bit and perfected himself bit by bit. As time passed, Yang Qing grew increasingly powerful.

However, he was in no hurry to break through. Instead, he meticulously tempered himself, because Alternative Dao Attainment was not his goal.

Eradicating all the Forbidden Zones of Life was his master's long-cherished wish, and it was also what nine generations of Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies had yearned for.

As a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, he naturally wished to slay every Supreme and make the Forbidden Zones of Life completely become history.

But Alternative Dao Attainment alone was far from enough. Only by Proving Dao and Becoming Emperor could he possess the strength to eradicate all the Forbidden Zones of Life.

The years drifted by in the blink of an eye. No one knew what level Yang Qing, who cultivated in seclusion within Sacred Cliff, had reached.

On this day, an incomparably terrifying aura suddenly spread through the starry sky of the universe, leaving everyone utterly shocked.

A Great Emperor Tribulation! Someone was actually undergoing a Great Emperor Tribulation at this moment!
