Oh no, I've become the Azure Emperor! (4700)

"Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp..."

Cup after cup of Dao Enlightenment Tea went down, its fragrance filling the air and immortal light curling around him. Lin Xian seemed like a deity descended to the mortal world, standing above the Nine Heavens and looking down upon his human body universe.

He was like an Immortal King battering at a pass, breaking through one Dragon Gate after another. The Yellow River flowed into the sea, a True Dragon ascended to heaven, and an unstoppable momentum was about to take shape.

As long as he wished, he could push open that door at any moment and leap like a dragon into the Nine Heavens.

Fortunately, Lin Xian retained a sliver of reason and suppressed this instinct. He did not court death by undergoing his Heavenly Tribulation in a Life Restricted Area. Crossing a tribulation in Deathless Mountain might feel glorious for a moment, but when the Supreme Beings settled accounts, it would be straight to the crematorium.

If a minor tribulation dragged in a greater one, entangling their causality and drawing down a Deathless Mountain Supreme's Emperor Tribulation, things would get very entertaining indeed.

After a long silence, when the Dao Enlightenment Tea had nearly gone cold, the Black Tortoise Ancient Emperor let out a long sigh. "Emperor Zun never became an immortal, and the Heavenly Emperor could not ascend to the Immortal Realm. Doesn't that make the Immortal Ascension Road of all these ages a colossal fraud? Is the Immortal Realm truly so far beyond our reach?"

"The Desolate Heaven Emperor, who supposedly ascended to the Immortal Realm—did he truly become an immortal, or did he fall short at the final hurdle, just like Emperor Zun?"

Emperor Zun had failed, the Heavenly Emperor had failed, and the Primordial Immortal Path had failed
