Dao Yan glanced at everyone, nodded, and then led the Great Saint of Yu Mu and his master Xia Qiu back to the sacred land of the Eternal Ancient Star.
Dao Yan became a powerful Quasi-Emperor and returned safely from the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
The news quickly spread throughout the entire planet, reaching all cultivators and even ordinary mortals in the mundane world.
They soon received even more astonishing news: Dao Yan had conquered the Starry Sky Ancient Road, defeated all his competitors, and was only one step away from ruling the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The news that he is invincible on the Starry Sky Ancient Road is truly shocking.
Even the most brilliant geniuses fell silent upon hearing this news.
This era was a very special one.
It is the first golden age after the Dharma-ending Age.
However, despite it being a golden age, no one could sense the existence of the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
Countless Quasi-Emperor have been born in this world, yet none have ever been able to successfully prove their Dao.
So many Quasi-Emperor were defeated by Dao Yan.
The Overlord Heavenly Venerable had already spread the word that he would do his best to help the new Dao Prover, together activating the Heavenly Heart Imprint and restoring the damaged Heavenly Heart Imprint to its original state.
Dao Yan now has the advantage of sweeping across the Starry Sky Ancient Road, and has already taken at least half a step ahead of others on the path to enlightenment.
The thought that with the help of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, Dao Yan might become the first Dao Prover in the Eternal Kingdom filled everyone with fervor.
This first golden age after the end of the Dharma era is truly extraordinary.
It was as if everything had restarted. The holy lands and aristocratic families of that time, unless protected by Extreme Dao Weapon or sealed away early on, suffered heavy losses in the great calamity at the end of the Primordial Era.
Now, many new holy sites and families have emerged.
Everyone is diligently cultivating themselves and striving to cross the river of suffering, in order to gain more benefits for themselves and their people.
If Dao Yan can prove the Dao, then the Eternal Kingdom will undoubtedly get the biggest slice of the pie.
After Dao Yan embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, batches of peerless geniuses from the Eternal Kingdom also set foot on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
However, some of them died far from home, some were disheartened, and some even suffered a complete breakdown of their spiritual path.
But Dao Yan was so outstanding that this eccentric who was once called a heretic in cultivation actually forged a path to Tongtian.
He defeated all his rivals and truly showed signs of attaining enlightenment.
Of course, some people are skeptical of this claim, and some even think that Dao Yan might be exaggerating.
After all, this era has produced so many extraordinary talents, some of whom reached the Peak Ninth-Level Quasi-Emperor earlier than Dao Yan.
None of them are weak; to defeat them and to sweep across the Starry Sky Ancient Road would be incredibly difficult.
It is said that those who have embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road include those from Forbidden Zone Heir, and even the children of Supreme Ancient Emperor. What makes Dao Yan stronger than others?
The Eternal Kingdom has existed for countless millennia, giving birth to countless extraordinary talents, yet no one has ever become a Dao Prover.
In comparison, the Eternal Star Domain is truly an insignificant Life Source Land compared to those planets that have produced Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor.
However, the news that kept coming from the Starry Sky Ancient Road was all boasting about how awesome Dao Yan was on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
News of Dao Yan spread throughout the world as those peerless geniuses returned to their hometowns.
The news brought back by those peerless geniuses who returned one after another from the Starry Sky Ancient Road was truly astonishing.
It was only then that everyone realized what an extraordinary genius had been born in the Eternal Star Domain.
Throughout the entire universe, countless races and countless peerless geniuses were all defeated by Dao Yan, and many of these peerless geniuses even died at Dao Yan hands.
Listening to the vivid story, everyone finally realized that Dao Yan had become a Near-Dao Attainer.
After receiving news that Dao Yan had returned to his hometown, one after another, incredibly powerful individuals came to the Eternal Kingdom to pay their respects to this future Supreme.
Dao Yan treated them all very politely.
At his level, he can freely give or not give face to others, and no longer needs to consider anyone else's feelings.
His hands are truly capable of creating a world of possibilities.
Dao Yan returned to his hometown and looked at the sacred land that had given him birth, and at the endless, undulating sacred mountains.
The essence of heaven and earth here is as rich as water, and the Great Dao resounds; it is many times better than when he left.
Clearly, although the Heavenly Heart Imprint was not visible, the entire Great Dao of Heaven and Earth began to revive under the impetus of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable.
It has been recovering for many years now.
Yu Mu Holy Land is the name of this holy land, and also the name of the ancestor.
The people of the Holy Land looked at Dao Yan's return with disbelief.
Dao Yan, that elusive senior brother and grandmaster who used to neglect his studies and delve into unorthodox methods, has returned from the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
He had become an incomparably powerful Quasi-Emperor, and it took everyone a long time to recover from their shock.
At this moment, both the Great Saint of Yu Mu and Xia Qiu, Dao Yan's master, were moved to tears.
With Dao Yan, a powerful Quasi-Emperor, the power over the entire Eternal Star Domain will belong to them for the next ten thousand years.
If Dao Yan were to rule the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they would be among the biggest beneficiaries.
I never imagined that this disciple, who was the most irresponsible in the past, would become a person of the Great Saint.
Even the entire Eternal Star Domain takes pride in Dao Yan.
The entire holy site was in an uproar.
Everyone was swept up in a frenzy, welcoming the return of Dao Yan, the powerful Quasi-Emperor, with the utmost enthusiasm.
At the welcoming banquet, Dao Yan recounted his experiences over the years, including some interesting events and treasures he had acquired.
He recounted the near-death experiences vividly, and the faces of the crowd showed complex expressions as he spoke.
Following Dao Yan's story, they seemed to witness Dao Yan's growth step by step.
It's unbelievable that someone who was idle and irresponsible back then could suddenly become an emperor; everyone felt like they were in a dream.
After the banquet ended, Dao Yan summoned Xia Qiu and Yu Mu to his newly created Pure Land.
Dao Yan then took out the gifts he had prepared for his grandmaster and master.
"What's this?"
"How is that possible..."
Sensing the rich aroma and vibrant life force emanating from the gourd, their faces lit up with delight.
Dao Yan divided the two gourds among the two people.
"This is Super Evolution Fluid that I carefully refined from countless rare and precious materials I found on the Starry Sky Ancient Road. It contains an incomparably rich life force. Although it cannot allow you to live a new Lifetime, it can definitely increase your life force dramatically."
"Please, Master and Ancestor, you must accept this."
This is Super Evolution Fluid that Dao Yan meticulously refined after he became Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, having thoroughly studied the complete Nine-Turn Immortal Pill technique.
Its effects are comparable to that damaged version of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Although it cannot grant them a new Lifetime, it is more than enough to elevate their cultivation level.
It's even possible that by helping them improve their physical condition, this ancestor could become Quasi-Emperor in the future, and Master Xia Qiu could become Great Saint.
Of course, right now we can only help them improve their cultivation level slightly. If they want to improve to a higher level in the future, they will need to cultivate diligently.
They initially wanted to decline, but upon thinking that the person before them was about to become emperor, they immediately accepted the gift with beaming faces.
"You're such a good child..." Xia Qiu exclaimed.
"I must live on, I must see the day you attain enlightenment and become emperor," the patriarch said excitedly.
Dao Yan was also very excited after hearing this, and nodded solemnly. "I am confident that the day of attaining enlightenment is not far away."
In the days that followed, Dao Yan sometimes secluded himself for spiritual practice, and sometimes traveled the mortal world.
He also found the love of his life, and the two traveled the world together, wandering through one place after another Life Source Land.
The Life Divine Tree, immersed in its own Life Spring, did not regain its vitality.
Dao Yan was not in a hurry at all, because he had heard from Overlord Heavenly Venerable that the Immortal Divine Medicine contained the secret of longevity. If he could understand it, he could also comprehend how to live a new Lifetime through the Immortal Divine Medicine.
Dao Yan suddenly felt that this Life Ancient Tree might be the treasure that would allow him to live a new Lifetime.
It is not only an Life Ancient Tree, but also a treasure for me to embark on the Red Dust Immortal Path.
During his travels through the starry sky, he would occasionally be challenged by unparalleled geniuses.
A powerful Quasi-Emperor challenges him.
Some people come to improve and hone their skills, while others come directly seeking revenge.
Dao Yan, this powerful Quasi-Emperor, handled everything with ease, and no one could even injure him.
No one was his match. Even among those at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, no one was his match.
Dao Yan's mindset also became increasingly peaceful, a mindset of the invincible strong.
In this extremely subtle state of mind, Dao Yan continued to make vigorous progress, and his cultivation level increased day by day, becoming stronger and stronger, more and more perfect.
Rumble.
Thunder suddenly roared from the depths of the universe, Hundun energy swept across the sky, and all the paths of heaven and earth rumbled, alarming countless star fields.
This is not Dao Yan undergoing tribulation, but Dao Yan refining Super Evolution Fluid.
In this world today, no one among the most outstanding talents can defeat Dao Yan.
Despite the fact that some people still overestimated themselves and came to challenge him.
However, people gradually discovered that Dao Yan; the Golden-Armored Giant God he had crafted was enough to defeat every peerless genius who came to challenge him.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Many people can't help but marvel at how Dao Yan's cultivation in unorthodox and unorthodox paths has reached an unparalleled level.
He has mastered everything from crafting mechs and pills to studying formations.
No one can challenge him in this area anymore.
Dao Yan, however, calmly comprehended the Great Dao within the Hundun, refining the perfect essence.
He deduced the situation for a very, very long time before opening his eyes.
The heavens and earth roared, countless stars exploded, and the terrifying aura was chilling.
He drew countless Great Dao Runes with his hands, which flew into the alchemy furnace.
Countless rare and precious materials flew into the alchemy furnace.
At this moment, within the alchemy furnace, countless life essences surged and mingled, and mysterious laws of the Great Dao were intertwined.
The liquid inside seemed to be burning with raging flames, the fire of all things in heaven and earth, as if it could transform into Hundun.
This is Dao Yan refining the strongest, most perfect evolution fluid, the ultimate version of the evolution fluid, to help him prove himself as Emperor.
This is the most powerful Hundun Evolution Fluid in history.
Now, amidst this endless Hundun, I perceive the Hundun; here, I comprehend the myriad principles of heaven and earth. My heart grows ever clearer, and my Immortal Platform becomes ever more luminous.
He felt he had reached a peak, and that he only needed to reach out to break through the ceiling and enter a higher level.
Without hesitation, he began refining pills, pouring all his insights into the Great Dao into the alchemy furnace.
The alluring fragrance inside could be smelled by everyone, even from a distant star system.
The entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths seemed to be filled with a fragrance.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth roared. Although there was no Heavenly Heart Imprint, the roaring sound of the myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth resounded throughout the world.
Dao Yan ignored everyone else's reactions; at this moment, all his Divine Capital were focused on the alchemy furnace.
He meticulously analyzed the profound mysteries of the Dao, watching as the rare materials fused and evolved within the alchemy furnace.
The place where Dao Yan was located seemed to have transformed into a Immortal Domain, with magnificent scenery and swirling mists, which was truly astonishing.
Rumble.
A deafening roar resounded, and Eternal radiance shone forth.
An unparalleled aura permeated the air, causing ripples and surges in the Great Dao. Heaven and earth seemed to sense this, manifesting countless astonishing phenomena.
The Hundun Evolution Fluid has been successfully refined, and its fragrance has spread throughout the world.
There were even phantom images of immortals and figures of celestial beings swirling around the alchemy furnace.
The terrifying lightning was Dao Yan refined into the alchemy furnace by Dao Yan, becoming part of the raw materials for this Super Evolution Fluid.
This Hundun Evolution Fluid exudes an alluring fragrance. Once drunk, Dao Yan spirit and physical body will undergo Ultimate Sublimation, experiencing an astonishing transformation, and truly proving himself to become an emperor.
If others were to consume it, they would obviously be unable to attain the Dao and become an Emperor, since this thing is not Dao Integration Flower.
However, this thing concerns the Great Dao of Dao Yan, and for Dao Yan, it will definitely have an amazing effect.
It relates to his enlightenment.
Just as Dao Yan was about to take it directly and was about to become Emperor, he suddenly had a thought and took out the root of the Life Ancient Tree from his own Life Spring.
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, he threw the root into the divine liquid of the alchemy furnace.
"I have a feeling that this Life Ancient Tree might be about to come back to life."
"He can make me who I am, and I can make him who I am."
As Dao Yan had predicted, the withered roots quickly sprouted new life after being soaked in the Hundun Purification Fluid for a period of time.
That vitality, from its initial weakness to its current strength, began to grow rapidly.
A vague soul quickly emerged from within, and it expressed its gratitude to the Dao Yan master in a frenzy.
He devoured the Hundun Evolution Fluid like a starving little guy.
Seeing so much Hundun Evolution Fluid being devoured by the Life Ancient Tree, Dao Yan felt no pity whatsoever.
He gazed at the roots of the Life Ancient Tree, which emanated a surging, powerful life force and emitted astonishing ripples of the Great Dao.
His gaze was intense as he carefully observed the Life Ancient Tree had come back to life from the ashes.
Watching the tender shoots sprout from the rootstock, watching them exude a rich life force and a strong fragrance as they grow continuously.
Looking at the Life Ancient Tree that had been completely revived, Dao Yan was also very excited.
Although he has not yet attained the status of Emperor, he has already witnessed the entire process of the Life Ancient Tree coming back to life from the dead.
He was confident that, with the profound laws of life he had comprehended through death and rebirth from this Life Ancient Tree, he would live a new Lifetime.
This resurrected Life Ancient Tree will surely be able to return to its full glory as time goes by.
He then absorbed the Life Ancient Tree and the Hundun Evolution Fluid into his Life Spring.
His aura then surged wildly, rapidly breaking through that critical point.
Dao Yan stood tall in the Chaos Sea, looking at the rapidly gathering heavenly tribulation above his head, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
"Come, I am about to prove my faith."
His golden mech had just flown over when it, along with its master, faced the most violent heavenly tribulation.
The terrifying heavenly tribulation immediately shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The endless, raging thunder was terrifying.
Endless lightning bolts, like a sheet of pitch-black ink, fell from the sky.
This is a heavenly tribulation unique to Dao Yan, a unique heavenly tribulation of the Dharma-ending Age.
This terrifying calamity, akin to the destruction of the world, terrified countless people.
Those who aspired to attain enlightenment looked at Dao Yan, who had already triggered the Heavenly Dao Yan for Heavenly Tribulation of Enlightenment, with extremely complex expressions.
Some people let out cries of despair, lamenting the injustice of fate and hoping that heaven would give them another five hundred years.
But when they saw Dao Yan's terrifying heavenly tribulation, they fell silent one by one.
No one understood how terrifying the tribulation Dao Yan encountered was.
If they were to encounter such a calamity, could they survive it?
The various inconceivable heavenly tribulations from historical legends, as well as the terrifying heavenly tribulations that were unheard of and unseen before, as black as ink and as black as water, made everyone feel as if a divine mountain was pressing down on them.
Dao Yan summoned heavenly lightning to refine the Hundun Evolution Fluid within his body, while simultaneously using the life force within the lightning to nourish the Life Divine Tree, allowing it to continue growing.
Dao Yan's accumulated knowledge was already profound enough, and he successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Life Ancient Tree was also successfully revived in his Life Spring, fully recovering.
Although he couldn't imprint the Great Dao mark onto the Heavenly Heart Imprint Heavenly Heart Imprint, his strength had indeed reached that level.
Alternative Dao Attainment!
Yes, thanks to the promotion of the concept of the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, many people have realized that Alternative Dao Attainment, and this realm does indeed exist.
That is the highest achievement that can be attained when one cannot merge with the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
Of course, the level of power at the Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Heart Imprint, which involves breaking through the Heavenly Heart Imprint Heavenly Heart Imprint, surpassing it, trampling it underfoot, and manipulating it at will, is not included.
Dao Yan's Great Dao has been completed. Next, he only needs Overlord Heavenly Venerable to take action, activate and repair the Heavenly Heart Imprint Heavenly Heart Imprint him, and then imprint his own mark onto the Heavenly Heart Imprint. From then on, he can suppress all other Daos with his own and become the Great Emperor of this era.
He became the first Great Emperor of the Desolate Antiquity.
