In the early years of the Desolate Ancient Era, more than fifteen hundred years after Great Emperor Fuxi's Attainment of the Dao, Heng Emperor entered the Divine Ruins. With his immense power, he sealed off that vast Life Forbidden Zone and began his seclusion.
By this year, tens of thousands of years had already passed in Heng Emperor's fifth lifetime. No one knew just how powerful he had become; even the Forbidden Zone Supremes could not see his limits. They regarded Yuangeng as a pioneer and leader on the path of cultivation, and eagerly anticipated what he would be like in his Sixth Life and seventh life.
What the Forbidden Zone Supremes did not know was that, shortly after entering seclusion, Yuangeng had already summoned the Stone Door he had obtained at the source of the River of Time. Drawing upon its supreme power, he stepped into the mysterious, unfathomable River of Time.
This time, however, Yuangeng sat cross-legged above the Stone Door, gazing down at the rolling waves of time below, and remained undecided about which direction to take for a long while.
Where should I go on my second deliberate journey through time?
Over the years, he had considered this question more than once.
For his cultivation, he hoped to find an era that could put him under sufficient pressure. After all, an overly comfortable cultivation path was no good; he needed beings on his level to spur him onward and measure himself against.
Yet across every period in the Shrouding the Heavens Universe, Yuangeng's combat strength in his fifth lifetime on the Red Dust Immortal Path was unquestionably among the most far beyond the norm. There were truly few beings who could put him under sufficient pressure.
