Yang Qing was in seclusion on Sacred Cliff. All the major Forbidden Zones of Life were silent, but the entire universe was in an uproar.
The events that had occurred during this period were each earth-shattering, happening only a handful of times throughout history.
When so many earth-shattering events converged, it was difficult not to shake the great universe and spark widespread discussion among countless people.
"The Sacred Body of this generation is too formidable! As soon as it achieved Great Accomplishment, it consecutively suppressed three Supreme Beings!"
"This is actually a good thing. As long as the Great Accomplishment Saint Body remains undefeated, such power will make the Forbidden Zones of Life extremely wary!"
"I fear the Great Accomplishment Saint Body won't rest, and if it pushes the Forbidden Zones of Life too far, it might bring about immense disaster!"
Some marveled at the Great Accomplishment Saint Body for suppressing three Supreme Beings in succession, deeming its achievements unparalleled in history and a brilliant stroke in the annals of time.
Others worried, believing the Great Accomplishment Saint Body's excessive power might provoke a united attack from the Forbidden Zones of Life.
Regardless of their thoughts, no one denied the might of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body of this generation; suppressing three Supreme Beings was the best proof.
Some believed this generation's Great Accomplishment Saint Body was the strongest ever, with the potential to kill even more Supreme Beings in the future.
Meanwhile, the forces binding Ji Xukong had dissipated. Gazing at the ninth Emperor Pass, his eyes became incredibly resolute.
"I must Prove Dao and Become Emperor as soon as possible!"
When the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was fighting alone, he was powerless!
When Yang Qing battled the Supreme Beings, he was equally powerless!
When Yang Qing charged into Undying Mountain, he was still powerless!
He never wanted to feel this powerlessness again. Only by Proving Dao and Becoming Emperor would he gain the qualification to fight Supreme Beings.
He, Ji Xukong, wanted the legendary fortune of becoming an Emperor by breaking through the ninth Emperor Pass!
Within Sacred Cliff, Yang Qing was currently undistracted, immersed in the deepest state of cultivation.
From the moment he endured his Heavenly Tribulation, he had been in constant battle, never pausing for a moment. His extraordinary combat intuition had remained stimulated.
This was a terrifying instinct, adjusting himself to the optimal combat state during battle, thus growing stronger with each fight.
Through bloody battles, constantly breaking his own limits, all of this now formed his foundation, helping him ascend to higher realms.
During his Heavenly Tribulation, he connected the four secret realms of the human body, transforming into a great dragon that squeezed into the Immortal Platform Realm.
Because of this, although he was only at the Great Accomplishment Saint Body stage, his combat power surpassed that of an ordinary Great Accomplishment Saint Body.
Yes! Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies also had different tiers!
The most basic stage of Great Accomplishment Saint Body was to cultivate to the ninth heaven of Quasi-Emperor and then re-cultivate the five secret realms of the human body.
A Great Accomplishment Saint Body at this level possessed unparalleled physical prowess and world-shaking Blood Essence, capable of fighting Supreme Beings without falling behind.
With the advantage of abundant Blood Essence, they could completely wear down Supreme Beings to death. However, if a Supreme Being underwent extreme sublimation, a Great Accomplishment Saint Body might not be able to contend.
The only method was still attrition; relying on the advantage of a large health pool, they could drag it out until the weakened period after a Supreme Being's extreme sublimation, at which point the Supreme Being would perish on their own.
But this was undoubtedly extremely perilous; a slight misstep could lead to being taken down along with the Supreme Being who underwent extreme sublimation.
The second stage was to advance further on the foundation of Great Accomplishment Saint Body, taking a step towards Alternative Dao Attainment.
A Great Accomplishment Saint Body at this level possessed astonishing combat power, already touching the realm of Great Emperors, truly capable of challenging them.
Even an extremely sublimated Supreme Being could be met head-on by a Great Accomplishment Saint Body at this level without being at a disadvantage.
The third stage was to advance further on the foundation of Alternative Dao Attainment, taking a step towards Proving Dao and Becoming Emperor.
A Saint Body becoming an Emperor had never happened since ancient times; this was a constraint of heaven and earth, like an invisible shackle bound to the Saint Body.
But as long as they could break through the constraints of heaven and earth, a Great Accomplishment Saint Body that Proved Dao and Became Emperor would possess world-shattering combat power.
Surpassing Great Emperors, even touching the realm of Heavenly Emperors, they could become one of the few peak powerhouses in history.
He himself was currently somewhere between the initial and second stages of Great Accomplishment Saint Body.
He was stronger than an ordinary Great Accomplishment Saint Body, but not yet strong enough to directly confront an extremely sublimated Supreme Being.
This was the case when he fought the two Supreme Beings from Undying Mountain; it was only by relying on the advantage of his thick health pool that he wore down the two Supreme Beings.
He wanted to advance further, and for that, he had to take a step towards Alternative Dao Attainment on the foundation of Great Accomplishment Saint Body, which was actually an extremely difficult step.
As far as he knew, in this era where nine Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies had consecutively appeared, only one Great Accomplishment Saint Body had reached this stage.
"Invincible Dao and Law, invincible Dao Heart, forged into one, ultimate transformation!"
To achieve Alternative Dao Attainment, one must first create invincible Dao and Law, but what constituted invincible Dao and Law?
To forge one's own path, create the most fitting cultivation technique, and to stand firm in the Divine Forbidden Domain for a long time was invincible Dao and Law.
Human race Great Emperors had all created Emperor Scriptures, and standing firm in the Divine Forbidden Domain was the most basic quality of a human race Great Emperor.
He had also taken this step, encompassing all Daos within himself, integrating a hundred scriptures into one, forging his own invincible Dao and Law.
As for the invincible Dao Heart, this was actually easier to understand!
To believe oneself to be invincible was an invincible Dao Heart!
However, merely believing so was not of much use; one must also be able to withstand trials.
Some people believed themselves to be invincible, but were easily defeated with a casual slap; how could they still consider themselves invincible?
Great Emperors have never known defeat, crushing all prodigies, sweeping aside all heroes, and killing until the world fell silent – that's the principle.
He was actually the same; it was at the ninth Emperor Pass that he defeated all the prodigies of his era, and his invincible heart was forged.
Afterward, he weathered the Heavenly Tribulation, slew two Supreme Beings from the Undying Mountain, and suppressed the Undying Daoist!
Never knowing defeat, as he fought and fought, it became difficult for him not to consider himself invincible!
So, to forge an invincible Dao heart, it's actually very simple: just sweep through everything, and an invincible Dao heart will naturally form.
The hardest part is to maintain a Dao heart that doesn't collapse after experiencing failure, to rise again, and to suppress everyone who once defeated you.
In this regard, the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor of later generations was an absolute powerhouse; he achieved emperorship after a hundred defeats, a unique case in all of history.
He had already forged an invincible Dao heart, and he possessed invincible Dao and laws; now, all that remained was to take the step to break through.
For others, this might be an extremely difficult step, but for him, it was just cultivation – what could be difficult about it?
Transforming bit by bit, perfecting himself bit by bit, as time flowed by, Yang Qing was becoming stronger and stronger.
However, he wasn't rushing to break through; instead, he was meticulously refining himself, because Alternative Dao Attainment wasn't his ultimate goal.
To level the various Forbidden Zones of Life was his Master's long-cherished wish, and it was also what the nine generations of Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies had yearned for.
As a Great Accomplishment Saint Body, he naturally wanted to slay all Supreme Beings and turn the various Forbidden Zones of Life into mere history.
But simply achieving Alternative Dao Attainment was far from enough; only by Proving Dao and Becoming Emperor could he possess the strength to level the Forbidden Zones of Life.
The years flowed by, passing in the blink of an eye. No one knew what level Yang Qing, who was in seclusion and cultivating at Sacred Cliff, had reached.
On this day, an incomparably terrifying aura suddenly permeated the cosmic starry sky, leaving everyone in shock.
A Great Emperor Tribulation! Someone was actually undergoing a Great Emperor Tribulation at this very moment!
