Sorting Out the Timeline

Aside from being a stubborn kid and evolving the Immortal Domain.

The most criticized aspect of the Green Emperor is that, as a powerful demon emperor, his tomb contained a large number of so-called spirit weapons.

In the eyes of the Great Emperor, even calling spiritual weapons "junk metal" would be an overestimation, yet there was a whole bunch of them in the Green Emperor's tomb.

Not only that, the tomb of a great Great Emperor was actually opened by a group of ants who didn't even have a cultivator at the Immortal Platform Realm.

These two incidents alone have almost completely destroyed his dignity as Great Emperor.

Therefore, Green Emperor is jokingly referred to by many netizens as Qingdi, meaning "younger brother".

If it weren't for the later part of "Shrouding the Heavens," when the Green Emperor's Weapon used the Primal Chaos Green Lotus to send the transforming Immortal Emperor into a strange world and then fought against the Immortal Heavenly Blade, thus regaining the face that Azure Brother had previously lost, Azure Brother would probably have become the weakest Great Emperor.

However, Li Changqing certainly wouldn't directly ask whether the Green Emperor had become an emperor. He only needed to know who the previous emperor was and how long ago he had passed away to be able to discern the current timeline.

Li Changqing looked at Elder Radiant Light, whose face was pale and whose breath was weak, and asked, "What era is this? Who was the last person to become an emperor?"

Elder Radiant Light was taken aback by his question. Wasn't this something everyone in the Big Dipper knew? Why would Li Changqing ask such a question?

A thought immediately formed in his mind, "Could this person be a powerful figure from ancient times? Did he accidentally enter the Undying Mountain and get trapped there, only to emerge recently?"

Having figured everything out, Elder Radiant Light believed she had found the right answer.

"No wonder he was so thin and weak when he first left Purple Mountain. It wasn't because he encountered some powerful enemy in the Undying Mountain, but because he was trapped there for a long time and his energy was depleted."

Seeing Elder Radiant Light's expression as if he knew everything, Li Changqing suspected he had lost his mind, and his eyes turned dangerous.

Seeing the dangerous look in Li Changqing's eyes, Elder Radiant Light dared not hesitate any longer and immediately replied:

"Reporting to Senior, the major powers of the Big Dipper now refer to this era as the Post-Desolate Era. Spiritual Qi is depleted, and cultivation is extremely difficult. Let alone Saints, even King Path-Slaying like Senior are almost nonexistent."

"The only suspected expert who Path-Slaying Jiang Taixu, the peerless God King from the Desolate Ancient Family Jiang Family more than three thousand years ago. However, Jiang Taixu disappeared for unknown reasons more than three thousand years ago and has never appeared again."

"The last emperor was a member of the demon race, known as the Green Emperor. It is said that the Green Emperor passed away approximately nine thousand years ago."

After hearing this, Li Changqing pondered inwardly.

In the original plot of "Shrouding the Heavens", when Jiang Taixu met Ye Fan broke into Purple Mountain to search for the Origin Heaven Book, he had already been trapped for about four thousand years.

The Green Emperor had already passed away ten thousand years prior, and the suppression of the Great Dao had begun to dissipate.

About two hundred years later, the Immortal Ascension Road in the Big Dipper Desolate Forbidden Land will open, and the Forbidden Zone Supreme will be born.

In other words, there is still about a thousand years before the Immortal Ascension Road opens.

It has been at most eight hundred years since Ye Fan arrived at Big Dipper aboard the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin Interstellar Train.

It's practically impossible for Li Changqing to cultivate to the Great Emperor within a thousand years.

A genius like Ye Fan not only has unparalleled cultivation speed, but also obtains numerous opportunities.

Even so, Ye Fan was over seven hundred years old before he achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body.

Moreover, when Ye Fan arrived at Big Dipper, the suppression of the Green Emperor's Great Dao had begun to dissipate, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was recovering, and with the opening of the Immortal Ascension Road, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was abundant, making it a golden age for cultivation.

Countless geniuses and offspring of ancient emperors were born, and countless peers served as his sparring partners. The trials he endured were immense.

Furthermore, at the time when the Immortal Ascension Road opened, the Supreme was born, and the Dark Turmoil ravaged the universe, he, with the cultivation of a Great Sage, controlled the body of a Great Accomplished Saint and forcibly joined the Supreme Battlefield, doing something that no one else would even dare to imagine.

The most incredible thing is that Ye Fan actually survived and fought against the Supreme, which can be said to be his greatest opportunity.

Have you not heard that even the Lord of Samsara commented that ordinary people, even with ten Emperor Bodies, could not withstand Supreme for a moment, yet Ye Fan managed to injure Supreme Being with his Great Accomplished Sacred Body?

Although Ye Fan was trapped by the Supreme Dao Mark and unable to use his Dao techniques, he eventually managed to obliterate the Supreme Dao Mark by breaking through the Heavenly Tribulation of Quasi-Emperor and leaped to the third level of Quasi -Quasi-Emperor.

Later, he comprehended the Dao on the Ancient Star of the Holy Body, and then bravely passed through three heavenly Heavenly Tribulations, leaping to the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor.

Before achieving the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body, he forcibly tempered his Essence Blood, undergoing two major tribulations: the eighth and ninth levels of Quasi-Emperor.

This was achieved even with the Great Accomplished Tyrant Body obstructing him. Ye Fan also killed the Great Accomplished Tyrant Body who was blocking his tribulation when he was at the eighth level of Quasi-Emperor. Later, he even tried to forcefully pass the tribulation to become an Emperor.

However, due to interference from the Forbidden Zone Supreme and his own poor condition, he was forced to stop.

In conclusion, Ye Fan is simply a freakishly powerful individual with stats malfunctioning, and being born into the Golden Age explains his rapid cultivation.

Li Changqing, however, was different. He was under the suppression of the Green Emperor's Great Dao, and the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was depleted. He had not yet reached the later, brilliant Golden Age.

Even if Li Changqing possessed Immortal King like the Kunpeng Method, it would be virtually impossible for him to become an Emperor within a thousand years, unless he used the Kunpeng True Blood.

After he answered Li Changqing's question, Li Changqing stopped talking.

Elder Radiant Light was immediately filled with trepidation, unsure of what to do. After a moment, he mustered his courage and cautiously asked:

"Senior, I have answered your question. Do you have any other questions? If not, may I take my leave?"

Li Changqing suddenly grinned and said, "What's the rush? As your senior, I certainly won't let you work for nothing. To thank you for telling me all this, I have to give you something in return."

Seeing Li Changqing's grinning face, Elder Radiant Light immediately felt a sense of foreboding and quickly shook her head.

"Senior is too kind. I have already committed a grave mistake by provoking you. It is a great fortune that you have spared my life. How could I dare to ask for any benefits?"

"That's not how it works. I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Gratitude is gratitude, and resentment is resentment; they can't be mixed up. Since you've helped me, naturally I should repay you. How about I send you to see the ancestors of the Light Jewel Holy Land as a way of repaying you?"

Before Elder Radiant Light could even process what Li Changqing meant, he hadn't even finished speaking.

The next moment, Li Changqing opened his mouth, and a burst of blazing Yin-Yang Flame shot out, instantly igniting Elder Radiant Light.

In just a moment, Elder Radiant Light was burned to ashes and vanished with the wind without leaving a trace; his ashes were scattered to the wind.

Li Changqing certainly wouldn't let Elder Radiant Light off the hook. Although Elder Radiant Light had witnessed Li Changqing's cruelty, she behaved very respectfully and dared not utter any more threats.

But Li Changqing was certain that if Elder Radiant Light was let go, he would definitely return to Light Jewel Holy Land to report the news, and then there would be endless trouble.
