Watching Laozi return to his youth, Ying Hao nodded. There were some things he hadn't explained clearly.
The Immortal Ascension Path opening at the right time and place was, in the eyes of many, the only way to become immortal.
To achieve this, Heavenly Venerates and Ancient Emperors had no qualms about severing themselves, transforming into Supreme Beings and sealing themselves in the Forbidden Zones.
Because of the immense passage of time, the Supreme Beings had to find various methods to prolong their lives, which led to the emergence of dark turmoil.
Everything, absolutely everything, was for the sake of becoming immortal!
But in reality, if one wanted to become immortal, why must they wait for the Immortal Ascension Path to open?
If it wasn't the right time or the right place, was it impossible to enter the Immortal Realm?
The answer was no. As long as one was powerful enough, nothing was impossible.
These words were too shocking. Even if he said them, Laozi probably wouldn't believe him.
But it didn't matter. As long as Laozi lived long enough, he would naturally witness that day.
"Thank you, Great Emperor, for the medicine!"
Laozi looked at Haotian the Great Emperor, his eyes still filled with shock. What had just happened had overturned his understanding of the world.
No! It wasn't just him! Anyone else would have been the same!
Even Great Emperors couldn't live forever, and the Immortal Medicine could only extend a Great Emperor's peak condition for one lifetime. This was common knowledge.
The Daoist Heavenly Venerate had consumed Immortal Medicine before, so it was useless to him, and his life could no longer be extended.
But now he had regained his youth, his life had been extended. Could there really be such a divine medicine in the world?
No! This was definitely not Immortal Medicine!
This was an immortal medicine far superior to Immortal Medicine, more heaven-defying, with incredible effects!
Could it be that what Haotian the Great Emperor said was true? Could he really live to see the Immortal Ascension Path open?
If that were the case, perhaps he wouldn't be stagnant. Perhaps he still had hope.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. For this grace of rebirth today, he was willing to follow Haotian the Great Emperor to his death.
Moreover, with such an immortal medicine, how far could Haotian the Great Emperor go in the future?
From this day on, Laozi stayed in Tanggu Valley, occasionally discussing the Dao with Ying Hao.
Years passed, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years went by. Ying Hao suddenly stood up and looked towards the Sun God Temple.
"The time is finally ripe!" Ying Hao's face was filled with a brilliant smile.
After waiting for so long, the power of faith in the Sun God Temple had finally condensed to a certain level.
The time was ripe, and it was time for the Sun Human Emperor to "reappear in the world"!
Ying Hao stepped into the Sun God Temple. The Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor manifested and cupped his hands in a salute to Ying Hao.
Ying Hao nodded. Nourished by the power of faith, the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor was no longer at risk of dissipating.
Not only that, but the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor had become increasingly sacred, even showing signs of transforming from ethereal to solid.
At this moment, the Divine Thought of the Sun Human Emperor seemed to have sensed something. Emperor Qi emanated from all around him, sweeping across the eight directions.
The power of faith surged, and the Sun Stone Pagoda emitted billions of rays of immortal light, like a great sun slowly rising.
Ying Hao's expression was solemn. He extended his large hand, using his own Great Emperor's divine sense as a guide to help the Sun Human Emperor's Divine Thought condense the power of faith.
In later generations, the Human Race produced an astonishingly talented Great Emperor named Amitabha the Great Emperor.
Although Amitabha the Great Emperor eventually passed away with the passage of time, he had journeyed extremely far in the path of faith.
Though his body perished and his soul vanished, his will endured, his firm belief transcended the ages, and he fought on the Immortal Ascension Path.
He wanted to emulate Amitabha the Great Emperor, to condense Faith Bodies for the two Human Emperors, and to bring back their wills.
However, besides the need for long years to gather the power of faith, something had always been missing until he encountered the Undying Daoist.
The Undying Daoist was the Faith Body of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the crystallization of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's research on the path of faith.
It was precisely for this reason that when he fought the Undying Daoist, he did not kill him but instead suppressed him.
Even though he was far away in the Ziwei Star Domain, he had left a thought in the Five Finger Mountain, all for the purpose of studying the Undying Daoist.
By drawing upon the Undying Heavenly Emperor's research on the path of faith, he finally achieved something and took a significant step forward on the path of faith.
Faith was not the Great Dao, and it could not grant eternal life. Moreover, it would have a certain impact on oneself. This was why the Undying Heavenly Emperor had abandoned this path.
But for the Sun Human Emperor and the Lunar Human Emperor, the path of faith represented a glimmer of hope, perhaps the hope for their resurrection.
At this moment, as he helped the Sun Human Emperor condense his Faith Body, a colossal figure rose from Tanggu Valley.
This figure, towering over a hundred million zhang, transformed from ethereal to solid, precisely resembling the Sun Human Emperor.
The power of faith surged, and Emperor Qi permeated the air, as if the Sun Human Emperor had been resurrected and returned to the world, shaking the universe.
At this moment, the entire universe erupted. From the fragmented light, everyone saw the figure of the Sun Human Emperor.
"What? Is that the Sun Human Emperor? How is he still alive?"
"It's Haotian the Great Emperor! Is he using heaven-defying means to bring the Sun Human Emperor back?"
"Unbelievable! Has Haotian the Great Emperor become so powerful that he can invert Yin Yang and reverse life and death?"
The whole world was shocked, and everyone was stunned into silence by this scene. It was an impossible sight.
The Sun Human Emperor had passed away many years ago, as everyone knew. How could he reappear in the world?
But the facts were laid out before everyone!
At this moment, in the Ziwei Star Domain, immeasurable faith power surged. The Sun Human Emperor sat there, with the ancient sky above his head.
Auspicious energy steamed, and myriad rays of light emanated. Immeasurable faith power surged like a tide, vaster than any ocean, filling the Ziwei Star Domain.
"Haotian the Great Emperor is indeed defying the heavens. I didn't expect him to have such profound research in the path of faith!"
A Supreme Being exclaimed. Only beings like them could see through it at a glance.
It wasn't that the Sun Human Emperor had returned to the world, but rather that Haotian the Great Emperor had used heaven-defying means to help the Sun Human Emperor condense a Dharma Body.
Seeing the endless faith power converge in the Ziwei Star Domain, with countless auspicious rays, transforming it into a land of immortals, the Supreme Beings were filled with apprehension.
Although it wasn't the Sun Human Emperor defying the heavens and returning, such a vast aura made them feel as if they were seeing a Human Emperor.
That kind of blood energy, that kind of power, was clearly that of a Human Emperor at the peak of his golden years!
Fighting against such an existence might force them to undergo the Ultimate Ascension!
The Supreme Beings couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Haotian the Great Emperor was already terrifying enough, and now he had gained such a powerful ally.
If they hadn't chosen to lie dormant, how would they have dealt with Haotian the Great Emperor and the Sun Human Emperor's Dharma Body attacking them together?
Moreover, Haotian the Great Emperor's second life had just begun. No one knew how far he would go in this life.
When Haotian the Great Emperor reached his twilight years in this life, would things truly unfold as they had imagined?
For some reason, at this moment, a shadow of unease fell upon the hearts of all the Supreme Beings!
Haotian the Great Emperor was invincible!
Happy New Year's Eve!
