Laozi had cultivated in Kunlun Mountain for less than a month, yet he had already reached the pinnacle of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm. His progress could only be described as astonishingly fast.
But Laozi did not continue cultivating in Kunlun Mountain. Instead, he was impatient to bid farewell and leave.
Ying Hao happened to be in secluded cultivation at that moment. Laozi did not wish to disturb him, so he could only bid Cao Yusheng farewell.
"I know you have some grievances in your heart, but with every loss comes a gain. This may be an opportunity!" Cao Yusheng said.
He naturally knew what Laozi feared. After all, this was Daoist Heavenly Venerate's corpse, and it was difficult to say whether the Emperor might take a great interest in it.
Seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster was human nature. That was precisely why Laozi did not wish to have much contact with Ying Hao and was leaving so quickly.
Moreover, Daoist Heavenly Venerate had placed his hopes on the Immortal Ascension Path, but Ying Hao had now destroyed it. It was difficult for Laozi not to feel some resentment.
After all, that had been the only opportunity in all the ages. The Sovereigns had hidden themselves in the Forbidden Zones for endless years—wasn't it all to await the day the Immortal Ascension Path opened?
Laozi's premature awakening meant that Daoist Heavenly Venerate's plans had come to nothing. Laozi would have an even harder time waiting for the Immortal Ascension Path to open.
"The world is ever-changing. Gaining is my fortune, losing is my fate!" Laozi said calmly.
He had indeed once felt resentful, but what good would resentment do?
Things had already come to this. He only wanted to live out this life properly. At worst, he would bury himself in Earth once more.
When the Immortal Ascension Path opened, a new will would be born within Daoist Heavenly Venerate's body. It simply would not be him anymore.
As for the opportunity Cao Yusheng had mentioned, he had paid it no mind. Could Ying Hao really help him become an immortal?
Other than that, he had no further demands. What could Ying Hao possibly help him with?
"Ying Hao is very different. He has opened a new path unseen throughout the ages. Perhaps he can truly accomplish what Emperor Zun failed to complete!" Cao Yusheng exclaimed.
If someone had said this to him when he had just awakened, he would certainly have sneered at them.
But the more contact he had with Ying Hao, the stronger this premonition became—especially after this trip to Earth.
Laozi looked at Cao Yusheng in shock. Although he did not know who Cao Yusheng was, he could sense that the other man was extraordinary.
Cao Yusheng's evaluation of Ying Hao was actually this high?
Accomplish what Emperor Zun had failed to complete?
Wouldn't that mean the Ascension of the Entire Sect?
His expression could not help but grow dazed. If Ying Hao truly was that remarkable, then his premature awakening might allow him to witness an incredible era.
But was it really possible?
In the time ahead, perhaps he could wait and see!
In the land of immortal ascension, Ying Hao had a jade bottle in his hand. Inside it was the Three Lights Divine Water rewarded by the system.
The Three Lights Divine Water consisted of golden Sunlight Divine Water, silver Lunar Divine Water, and purple Starlight Divine Water. Each of the three divine waters had its own wondrous effects.
Sunlight Divine Water wore away flesh, blood, bones, and essence. Lunar Divine Water could corrode the Primordial Spirit and soul. Starlight Divine Water could devour and dissolve the true spirit and consciousness.
But once the three divine waters were combined, they became the greatest healing medicine in the Great Desolation World.
Not only could they dispel all poisons, they could also heal all wounds and illnesses. They could even restore flesh to bones and bring the dead back to life.
Its effects were even better than the Six-Revolving Golden Elixir he had obtained before. It could even bring someone back from the dead.
"If so, there may truly be a chance!"
Ying Hao's heart stirred. He had molded golden bodies for the Sun Human Emperor and Lunar Human Emperor and gathered the power of faith, hoping that the two Human Emperors might one day reappear in the world.
But even he understood that the hope was extremely slim. No matter how wondrous the Faith Body was, it ultimately was not the same person as before.
Now, things were different. Once the wills of the two Human Emperors gradually condensed, he could use the Three Lights Divine Water to nourish their golden bodies.
Within those golden bodies were the two Human Emperors' fragmented corpses. Could the two Human Emperors truly return from death?
There was no need to rush! Reuniting the wills of the two Human Emperors would absolutely not happen in a day or two.
Ying Hao rose. He had gained tremendously from this trip to Earth, and it was time to return to the Ziwei Star Domain.
He glanced at the immortal pool but did not take out the Heavenly Dao Record. Instead, he planned to let the Heavenly Dao Record gestate within the immortal pool.
It could gather the Fortune within the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains while carving the imprints of the Great Dao on Earth and evolving the Great Desolation World.
As long as it had enough time, the Heavenly Dao Record could continue to transform, ultimately becoming an Immortal Artifact.
Cao Yusheng did not leave with Ying Hao. He was only one step away from Alternative Dao Achievement and planned to enter secluded cultivation in Kunlun Mountain.
The Golden Light Grand Dao pierced through the universe. Ying Hao was returning from Earth to the Ziwei Star Domain when his heart suddenly stirred, and he looked toward a certain direction.
With one step, nine enormous dragons appeared before him. Black iron chains were fastened to their tails, and they were pulling a Bronze Coffin.
The Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin!
Judging by its direction, it seemed to be heading toward Earth. Throughout the endless years, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin had continually undertaken this journey.
Ying Hao took one step and arrived inside the Bronze Coffin. His gaze fell on the inner walls of the Bronze Coffin.
The coffin walls were covered in green patina, but it could not conceal the images of the ancient ancestors and primordial deities.
The carvings of savage beasts and divine birds had also become lifelike, filled with mysterious power and flowing with the traces of time.
"A Bronze Coffin that spans the past and present!"
Ying Hao could not help sighing. The antiquity of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin surpassed everyone's imagination.
Whether it was the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Immortal Ancient Era, or even more distant ages, traces of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin could be found.
It was all because of the Three Lives Bronze Coffin. Buried within it was an unimaginable lifeform that had originated in an era beyond tracing.
These matters were too distant from Ying Hao. He still lacked the qualifications to trace them, but the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin was also related to the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
The Three Lives Bronze Coffin consisted of three coffins. The smallest coffin was the most important, but it had already been taken away by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Of the remaining two coffins, one was the Bronze Coffin he was currently inside, while the other was right before his eyes.
A bronze coffin rested in the center. It was less than four meters long and less than two meters wide. It was simple and dim, engraved with ancient images and covered in verdigris.
Within this ancient coffin was a still-evolving Immortal Domain. This was the method the Desolate Heaven Emperor had left behind to repair the Immortal Domain.
Unfortunately, as the years changed, this coffin did not remain in the Immortal Domain. Instead, it came to this universe.
This might have been an accident, but it was even more likely that it had long been destined by some unseen force.
Ying Hao came to the bronze coffin and placed his hand on it. Profound heavenly sounds of the Great Dao immediately rang in his ears.
"The Dao of Heaven takes from what has excess and supplements what is lacking..."
The profound heavenly sounds of the Great Dao seemed to have pierced through space from the primordial Great Desolation of ancient times. Like the tolling of a great bell, they cleansed Ying Hao's soul.
Even with his current strength, he was still filled with shock. After all, these were scriptures left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
There were only a few hundred words, yet every character was an Emperor Talisman, embodying supreme profundity and benefiting Ying Hao immensely.
"Scriptures at the level of an Immortal Emperor—each character is worth a fortune!" Ying Hao murmured.
The several hundred ancient characters did not speak of cultivation. Instead, they described and deduced the construction of the Immortal Domain.
And Ying Hao happened to be using the Heavenly Dao Record to evolve the Great Desolation World. The value of those several hundred ancient characters immediately multiplied.
