Heavenly Court Divine General, Digital Secret!

The Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, and the Heavenly Dao Record, suspended upside down, fell back into Ying Hao's hands.

He held the Heavenly Dao Record, examining it closely, and silently felt its myriad changes.

As his strength reached the Heavenly Emperor level, his own Dao grew stronger, allowing him to unleash some of the profound mysteries of the Primordial Violet Qi.

The Primordial Violet Qi was like the nascent Heavenly Dao, overseeing everything in the Great Desolation, and was the core of the Great Desolation world's evolution.

Now, with the initial opening of heaven and earth, the Great Desolation had begun to take shape, and the next stage would be a long process of evolution.

The sun, moon, and stars needed to evolve; mountains and rivers needed to evolve; plants and flowers needed to evolve.

Only when everything had evolved would the Great Desolation world barely possess all that a complete world should have.

This would be a long process, closely related to his own growth, a mutually beneficial process from the start.

When all the evolution was complete, he would face a difficult problem: how to evolve life.

Based on his judgment, even if he could achieve the perfect transformation of a Mortal World Immortal, he might not be able to touch upon the realm of life.

However, there was no rush for now. The Heavenly Dao Record had transformed into an Immortal Artifact, and in this universe, it had reached its limit.

"Congratulations, Great Emperor, on refining an Immortal Artifact. Truly a cause for celebration!"

Seeing Haotian the Great Emperor return to Tanggu Valley, Laozi immediately stepped forward, his face beaming with a brilliant smile.

While congratulating him, his gaze remained fixed on the Heavenly Dao Record. This was a newly born Immortal Artifact!

Although its aura was not obvious, it looked extraordinary, emanating endless chaotic energy and inscribed with profound Dao symbols.

Immortal Light flowed within it, and faintly, one could see a vast world, stretching beyond sight.

What was even more astonishing was that the aura emanating from the Heavenly Dao Record seemed capable of suppressing all heavens and myriad realms, inspiring awe and trepidation.

It was indeed an Immortal Artifact, possessing world-shattering power, far beyond any Ultimate Emperor Weapon he had ever seen.

"The Heavenly Court has just been established, and I will need your continued efforts, fellow Daoist!" Ying Hao said.

Since he re-established the Heavenly Court, it had been built upon the foundation of the Sun God Cult, forming its basic framework.

Merely re-establishing the Heavenly Court was not enough; it needed to be supreme throughout the universe to gradually gather destiny from the void.

He could not be bothered by the trivial matters of the Heavenly Court, yet the Heavenly Court needed a powerful figure to preside over it. Laozi was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He believed that with some time, it would not be difficult for the Heavenly Court to regain its glory from the Mythological Era.

"Great Emperor, rest assured, I will do my utmost in this matter!" Laozi said.

If it were before, he would not have cared about the state of the Heavenly Court at all, as his only pursuit was Becoming Immortal.

But now it was different. In Haotian the Great Emperor, he saw hope for Becoming Immortal, so how could he not give his all?

Moreover, making the Heavenly Court revered by all under heaven was not a difficult task at all.

In fact, nominally speaking, the Heavenly Court was already supreme throughout the universe!

There was no other way! Who else could have founded the Heavenly Court but Haotian the Great Emperor!

Haotian the Great Emperor was invincible in the world, so how could the Heavenly Court not be supreme?

What he needed to do now was simple: just let the Heavenly Court's influence spread throughout the entire universe, and the Heavenly Court would shine for an era.

There would be no unexpected issues. Hadn't even the Forbidden Zones disappeared? Who would dare to object?

Time flowed like water, passing in the blink of an eye. In the following period, the development of the Heavenly Court could be described as smooth sailing.

In a short time, the Heavenly Court's influence had spread across more than half of the universe. Wherever the Heavenly Court went, all submitted.

Whether it was a prosperous major power or a long-standing strong clan, none dared to utter a single word of "no" to the Heavenly Court.

But what Laozi did not expect was that in this era, there were still people who were not afraid of death.

The newly established gate of the Heavenly Court was broken, and the forces that had submitted to the Heavenly Court were massacred. He had no choice but to come in person.

However, before he could find the enemy, the enemy appeared before him.

It was a young man dressed in animal skins, with a heroic bearing and clear eyes, exuding a world-shattering aura.

"To steal the name of the Heavenly Court is to be executed!"

The young man, holding a stone club, swung it casually. He looked at Laozi with disdain, his body radiating intense killing intent.

"I didn't expect there to be such a powerful person in the world. You must not be from this era!" Laozi said in a deep voice.

This young man, like him, had reached the level of alternative Dao attainment, making him a powerful being second only to Great Emperors.

The world only knew that Great Emperors were invincible, but they did not know that those who achieved alternative Dao were also astonishingly talented, and there were not many such individuals throughout history.

"Kill!"

The young man laughed heartily, his stone club sweeping across the sky. He was overwhelmingly powerful, and a momentary brilliance illuminated eternity.

Laozi was fearless. After consuming the Peach of Immortality, he was in the prime of his life.

Even when facing a Supreme Being, he dared to fight, let alone this young man before him.

A heaven-shattering battle erupted instantly. The two were evenly matched, like skilled players in a game, fighting until the sky shattered and the earth cracked.

"Who exactly are you?"

The youth gradually sensed Laozi's extraordinary nature. The more they fought, the more alarmed he became, realizing this person was far more than just a different kind of immortal.

However, this only made him more excited. He was the one who had dared to charge into a Forbidden Zone alone back then, so why would he fear a powerful opponent?

"The past is irrecoverable; now, I am Laozi!"

With a thought, Laozi instantly split into three, and four Laozi's attacked the youth simultaneously.

The youth was slightly startled. The four Laozi's were identical, with no discernible difference in strength, as if each was the true body.

"The Number Secret?"

It was the Number Secret from the Nine Secrets, created by the Daoist Heavenly Venerate. It followed the principle of "one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things," allowing for the creation of multiple clones.

Each clone was indistinguishable from the original, effectively multiplying the user's strength severalfold. It truly lived up to its reputation as a peerless secret technique.

The battle between the two sides intensified, gradually entering a fever pitch, yet still maintaining a stalemate.

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred. An ancient cauldron appeared, flying from the depths of the universe towards them.

The cauldron was covered in rust and verdigris, yet it emitted a brilliant radiance, flickering with resplendent light that tore through the void.

Laozi instantly felt himself locked down by an immense power, his face draining of color in alarm as he sensed an inexplicable danger.

That cauldron was no ordinary item; it was even more astonishing than an Ultimate Emperor Weapon. This reminded him of the Heavenly Dao Record of Haotian the Great Emperor.

However, he had no time to ponder this now. The youth was already terrifying enough, and now a supremely fearsome cauldron had joined the fray.

The void shattered, and all sorts of Immortal Light danced, with specks of light like an endless sea of stars descending to suppress Laozi.

Laozi resisted with all his might but was horrified to find he couldn't budge the cauldron even slightly.

Seizing this opportunity, the youth unleashed his peerless killing move. Terrifying power struck simultaneously, immediately putting him under immense pressure.

Just as he was preparing for a desperate struggle, suddenly, boundless Immortal Light blazed forth, and everything seemed to freeze in that moment.

"The Immortal Ascension Cauldron of Emperor Zun. Then you must be Chuan Ying, the former foremost general of the Heavenly Court!"

As a familiar voice rang out, Laozi's mind suddenly relaxed. Finally, he no longer had to fight for his life.
