Desolate Heaven Emperor's Visit! The Heavenly Emperor's Guidance! The Path of the Mortal Immortal!

Golden lotus flowers drifted down from the sky, while profound chants of the Great Dao echoed through the void.

Phantom silhouettes of a True Dragon and a Divine Phoenix danced amid the rain of light.

For a time, the entire rear garden seemed to transform into a supreme sacred ground for comprehending the Dao.

Huo Ling'er, Qingyi, the Witch, and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit watched the interwoven trails of the Great Dao, all utterly enthralled.

They immediately sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and greedily absorbed this rare Dao aura.

Just a brief moment of enlightenment brought them immense benefits, and signs of loosening appeared in their cultivation.

Just as the rear garden of the Heavenly Court was immersed in an atmosphere of peace and enlightenment, a bold laugh suddenly shattered the tranquility.

"Hahaha! Big Brother Ye, Willow Deity, I've come to see you!"

Along with that voice, a tall, spirited young man strode into the rear garden.

The newcomer was none other than Shi Hao.

By now, he had long since attained the Supreme Realm, and the countless living beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands respectfully hailed him as the "Desolate Heaven Emperor."

Outside, he commanded awe in all directions. Every gesture of his carried an invincible bearing capable of suppressing everything, earning the reverence of innumerable elders and powerful experts.

Yet when he arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Palace and stood before Ye Xuan and the Willow Deity, the majesty and halo around him instantly faded away. He still retained the pure, simple heart he had possessed back in Stone Village.

Shi Hao walked beneath the Bodhi tree and respectfully bowed deeply to Ye Xuan and the Willow Deity.

"You brat, you're already the Desolate Heaven Emperor, yet you're still as hotheaded and impetuous as ever."
