Laozi had been cultivating in Kunlun Mountain for less than a month and had already reached Grand Perfection in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, an astonishingly rapid advancement.
However, Laozi did not continue to cultivate in Kunlun Mountain. Instead, he was eager to take his leave.
Ying Hao happened to be in seclusion at this time, so Laozi, not wanting to disturb him, could only bid farewell to Cao Yusheng.
"I know you have grievances, but what is lost is gained. This might be an opportunity!" Cao Yusheng said.
He naturally understood what Laozi was afraid of. After all, it was the corpse of the Daoist Heavenly Venerate, and it was hard to say if a Great Emperor would be intensely interested.
Seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster was a natural human instinct. It was precisely for this reason that Laozi did not wish to have much contact with Ying Hao and decided to leave so soon.
Moreover, the Daoist Heavenly Venerate had placed his hopes on the Immortal Ascension Path, which Ying Hao had now disrupted. It was difficult for Laozi not to harbor resentment.
After all, it was a once-in-an-eternity opportunity. Hadn't the Supreme Beings been dormant in the Forbidden Zones for countless years, just waiting for the Immortal Ascension Path to open?
Laozi's premature awakening meant that the Daoist Heavenly Venerate's plans had gone to waste, and Laozi could no longer wait for the Immortal Ascension Path to open.
"The world is unpredictable. To have it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate!" Laozi said calmly.
He had indeed resented it before, but what good would resentment do?
Things being as they were, he only wished to live through this life well. At worst, he could bury himself again on Earth.
When the Immortal Ascension Path opened, a new will would be born within the Daoist Heavenly Venerate's body, but it would no longer be him.
As for the opportunity Cao Yusheng mentioned, he paid it no mind. Could Ying Hao possibly help him become an Immortal?
Besides that, he had no other desires. What could Ying Hao possibly do to help him?
"Ying Hao is very different. He is opening a new path for all eternity. Perhaps he can truly complete what Emperor Zun failed to do!" Cao Yusheng sighed.
If someone had said this to him when he had just awakened, he would have scoffed.
But the more he interacted with Ying Hao, the stronger this premonition became, especially after this trip to Earth.
Laozi looked at Cao Yusheng in shock. Although he didn't know who Cao Yusheng was, he could sense his extraordinary nature.
Cao Yusheng's evaluation of Ying Hao was so high?
Completing what Emperor Zun failed to do?
Wouldn't that mean ascending with the entire sect?
His expression became somewhat dazed. If Ying Hao was truly like that, perhaps his premature awakening would allow him to witness an incredible era.
But was it really possible?
Perhaps he could wait and see in the time to come!
In the Immortal Ascension Land, Ying Hao held a jade bottle. The bottle contained the Three Lights Divine Water rewarded by the system.
The Three Lights Divine Water consisted of golden Sunlight Divine Water, silver Moonlight Divine Water, and purple Starlight Divine Water, each with its own unique properties.
Sunlight Divine Water could erode flesh and bone, Moonlight Divine Water could corrode the primordial spirit and soul, and Starlight Divine Water could devour true spirits and consciousness.
However, once the three divine waters merged, they became the foremost healing elixir in the Great Desolation world.
Not only could it neutralize all poisons, but it could also heal all wounds and illnesses, even regenerating flesh and bone and reviving the dead.
Its effects were even better than the Six-Revolving Golden Elixir he had obtained before, capable of bringing people back from the dead.
"With this, perhaps there is indeed a sliver of a chance!"
Ying Hao's heart stirred. He had sculpted golden bodies for the Sun Human Emperor and the Lunar Human Emperor, gathering the power of faith, hoping that the two Human Emperors could one day reappear in the world.
But even he understood that the hope was very slim. No matter how miraculous a faith body was, it was ultimately not the person they once were.
Now it was different. Once the wills of the two Human Emperors gradually condensed, he would use the Three Lights Divine Water to nourish their golden bodies.
Within the golden bodies were the broken corpses of the two Human Emperors. Could they be brought back to life?
He couldn't rush! The reunion of the two Human Emperors' wills would not be achieved overnight.
Ying Hao stood up. His trip to Earth had yielded immense gains, and it was time to return to the Ziwei Star Domain.
He glanced at the Immortal Pond and decided not to take out the Heavenly Dao Record, intending to let it gesture in the Immortal Pond.
While condensing the fortune from the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountains, he would also engrave the Great Dao imprints from Earth, evolving the Great Desolation world.
As long as there was enough time, the Heavenly Dao Record would continue to transform, eventually becoming an Immortal Artifact.
Cao Yusheng did not leave with Ying Hao. He was only one step away from achieving an alternative Dao and planned to enter seclusion in Kunlun Mountain to cultivate.
The Golden Light Grand Dao connected the universe. As Ying Hao was returning to the Ziwei Star Domain from Earth, he suddenly felt something and looked in a certain direction.
With a single step, nine giant dragons appeared before him, their tails bound by black iron chains, pulling a bronze coffin.
Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin!
Judging by its direction, it seemed to be heading towards Earth. Throughout the long ages, Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin had been undertaking such a journey.
Ying Hao stepped forward and entered the bronze coffin, his gaze falling upon the inner wall.
The coffin walls were covered in green patina, but it couldn't conceal the carvings of ancient ancestors and primordial deities.
The carved images of savage beasts and divine birds also seemed lifelike, filled with mysterious power and flowing with the traces of time.
"A bronze coffin that traverses through ancient and modern times!"
Ying Hao couldn't help but sigh, the ancient origins of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin surpassed everyone's imagination.
Traces of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin could be found in the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Immortal Ancient Era, and even more distant times.
It was all because of the Three Lives Bronze Coffin, which contained an unimaginable being that originated from a time beyond recall.
These were all distant matters for Ying Hao; he wasn't qualified to delve into them yet. However, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin was also related to the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
The Three Lives Bronze Coffin consisted of three coffins in total. The smallest one was the most important, but it had already been taken by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Of the remaining two, one was the bronze coffin he was currently in, and the other was right before his eyes.
A bronze coffin rested in the center, less than four meters long and less than two meters wide. It was ancient and dim, engraved with ancient patterns and covered in verdigris.
Within this ancient coffin was an Immortal Realm that was still evolving. This was a method left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor to repair the Immortal Realm.
Unfortunately, as time passed, this coffin did not remain in the Immortal Realm but instead arrived in this universe.
This might have been an accident, but it was more likely something preordained by fate.
Ying Hao approached the bronze coffin and placed his hand on it. Mysterious Heavenly Dao sounds immediately echoed in his ears.
"The Way of Heaven reduces the excess and supplements the insufficient..."
The profound Heavenly Dao sounds seemed to have traveled through time and space from the ancient Great Desolation, like great bells and drums, cleansing Ying Hao's mind.
Even with his current strength, he was still filled with shock, as these were scriptures left by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
In just a few hundred characters, each word was an imperial rune, a supreme profound meaning that benefited Ying Hao greatly.
"Scriptures of the Immortal Emperor level, every word is worth a thousand gold!" Ying Hao murmured to himself.
The hundreds of ancient characters did not speak of cultivation, but rather of the construction and deduction of the Immortal Realm.
And he happened to be about to evolve the Great Desolation world using the Heavenly Dao Record, so the value of these hundreds of ancient characters immediately increased exponentially.
