Arc 16The Heavenly Emperor’s Age
Jiang Zhu survived the Dark Turmoil, attained the Imperial Dao, and later destroyed the forbidden zones while refusing to enter the Immortal Domain. As the Immortal Road collapsed, Ye Fan began his own attempt at Dao attainment and joined Jiang Zhu in fighting the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
- Jiang Zhu and the Earth quartet defeated the invading Supremes, ending the Dark Turmoil, and Jiang Zhu erased the Undying Mountain while sparing Anpu.
- After a century and a half of seclusion, Jiang Zhu refined the Supremes’ remnants, endured his Great Emperor Tribulation, and killed seven attacking Ancient Emperors before defeating Carefree Heavenly Venerate and attaining the Imperial Dao.
- Jiang Zhu returned to Big Dipper with Yan Ruyu, preached the Dao, reunited with Xiao Nannan, and showed Gai Jiuyou that multiple emperors could coexist.
- Jiang Zhu and Yan Ruyu raised their son Jiang Qing as the Road to Immortality opened on Flying Immortal Star, where Emperor Zun’s plan restored the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and Divine Child merged with it.
- While the Supremes pursued the Immortal Road, Jiang Zhu, Ye Fan, and Gai Jiuyou attacked the Life Forbidden Zones, killing their Supremes and ending the recurring Dark Turmoils.
- Jiang Zhu and Ye Fan opened the Heavenly Gate with the Supremes’ imperial blood but refused to enter the Immortal Domain, while Laozi, Shakyamuni, and Gai Jiuyou entered before the Immortal Road collapsed.
- Five hundred years later, Ye Fan survived his Great Emperor Tribulation and baited the Undying Heavenly Emperor into attacking, while Jiang Zhu broke the Undying Heavenly Blade, severed his arm, and shattered the Flying Immortal Waterfall.
