A Rarity Unseen Through the Ages, Shaking the Dao Domain, All Sides Raising Their Stakes

Rumble!

The winds and clouds of the Nine Heavens spun at breakneck speed, golden light dazzling and resplendent.

Su Changge's entire body was shrouded in golden radiance.

The Sacred Body Bloodline had successfully transformed his body. Like an exiled immortal bathed in golden light, he was sacred and inviolable.

He merely sat cross-legged in meditation, yet every breath seemed to align with the Great Dao.

Heaven and earth appeared to tremble in resonance. Centered around him, spiritual energy surged wildly like a vortex, and his cultivation continued to rise.

"Gasp... that terrifying rate of spiritual energy absorption—he's simply a monster!"

"Gods and Demons Kowtow and Four Beasts Blessing both appeared because of this child. Just what kind of physique is this?"

"With such talent, his future achievements will be limitless!"

Numerous figures continuously appeared in the sky, all drawn here by Su Changge.

Their gazes were astonishingly unanimous, every one of them staring fervently at the youth before them.

His eyes were currently shut, as though he were comprehending something.

Even so, his features were exceptionally handsome, his facial contours sharply defined, as if he were the most perfect work of art in heaven and earth.

"He truly is extraordinarily handsome! Coupled with such temperament and talent, if immortals existed in this world, they would be no more than this, wouldn't they?"

"Damn it! He's only a tiny bit better-looking than me."

"Senior Brother, are you sure it's only a tiny bit? More like a hundred million tiny bits, right?"

The disciples of the Returning Origin Holy Land all wore looks of utter shock.

With such talent and appearance, calling him an exiled immortal descended into the mortal world would not be an exaggeration.

When some of the female elders saw Su Changge's face, even their hearts, once as still as dead water, rippled with emotion, like withered trees meeting spring.

After a long while.

The phenomena in the sky gradually faded away.

Su Changge's consciousness gradually cleared, and he summoned the system interface.

Host: Su Changge

Cultivation: Spirit Sea Realm

Physique Bloodline: Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo

Talent Phenomena: Gods and Demons Kowtow, Divine Beasts Blessing

Cultivation Method: None

Magical Treasure: None

Items: Newbie Gift Pack x1

"A Newbie Gift Pack? I wonder what good things it can yield."

Just then, as Su Changge slowly opened his eyes.

The sight before him made his entire body shudder.

Where he currently was, there was a sea of people.

There were people floating in the sky and standing on the ground, packed so densely together—

All of them looked at him with blazing eyes, their expressions as though they were admiring some peerless treasure.

In his previous life, he had at least been a Writer of fantasy novels. This was a small scene. First, leave a good impression and play it safe.

"This junior, Su Changge, greets all the seniors." Su Changge cupped his hands toward the crowd.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in golden robes walked over. His aura was incomparably profound, his cultivation unfathomable, as though he possessed the bearing to look down upon the world.

"Greetings, Holy Master!" the surrounding crowd said in unison.

"Holy Master? Is that something like the Sect Leader of the Returning Origin Holy Land?" Su Changge speculated inwardly.

But he would later learn that Holy Master was merely an outward guise.

The true foundation of the Returning Origin Holy Land was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

The Returning Origin Holy Master wore a smile, his eyes filled with satisfaction. "Mm. Even after awakening such a physique, you remain neither humble nor arrogant, neither rash nor impetuous."

"Little friend, your temperament is extraordinary. The Great Dao you achieve in the future will surely be exceptional."

Did I read all those fantasy novels for nothing? Su Changge thought to himself.

Yet on the surface, he still maintained a calm and humble demeanor. "You overpraise me, Senior."

"Little friend, do you know what kind of physique you have awakened?" the Returning Origin Holy Master suddenly asked seriously.

"Reporting to Holy Master, in the depths of my mind, I heard it called the Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo."

Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils contracted and their breathing quickened.

The Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo ranked among the very best of the Ten Great Sacred Bodies and had long held firm in second place!

It was not because the Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo was too weak, but because the physique ranked first had only ever been recorded in myths; no one in the world had ever seen it!

Yet they did not know that Su Changge also possessed a hidden physique, one far more powerful still. It exceeded the system's range of analysis and stood beyond the Five Elements—

This myth would be thoroughly proven with Su Changge's appearance.

"The fusion of the legendary Ancient Sacred Body and Innate Dao Body, born naturally attuned to the Great Dao. Its future achievements are beyond words..."

Upon hearing this, the Returning Origin Holy Master sent out a strand of divine sense into Su Changge's body. Since he sensed no ill intent, Su Changge did not resist.

Before long, the Tianyuan Holy Master's entire body trembled. With an excited expression, he said, "Good, good, good! Your name is Su Changge, correct?"

"You may directly join my Returning Origin Holy Land and immediately become the Holy Son of my holy land!"

At those words, the surrounding elders' pupils contracted further and their breathing quickened.

"The legendary Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo? I never expected it to truly exist!"

"The Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo will surely become a peak Great Emperor in the future! Heaven blesses our Returning Origin Holy Land!"

"With such talent, he should be exempted from all trials!"

"This ranks second among the Ten Great Sacred Bodies! Other than that mythical physique, it ranks first! I think he should become the foremost among Holy Sons!"

The elders of the Returning Origin Holy Land stared heatedly at Su Changge, as though they had already seen the holy land's glorious future!

"The Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo once even ranked first among the Ten Great Sacred Bodies, and you think it is worth no more than the mere position of Holy Son?"

A figure suddenly appeared in the air, his voice resounding throughout the surroundings, his tone brimming with mockery.

A Blood-Robed Middle-Aged Man stood suspended in midair with his hands clasped behind his back. The bloody aura around him seemed capable of tearing apart the firmament.

"The Sect Leader of the Blood Demon Sect?"

"Hahahaha! The Returning Origin Holy Land has already declined. Little friend, why not come to my Great Qin Ancient Dynasty?"

Another figure tore open space in the sky.

The newcomer was a man wearing a Dragon Robe. Dragon energy churned around his entire body, as though golden dragons coiled about him. Powerful confidence shone from between his brows. This man was the current Lord of the Great Qin Ancient Dynasty.

At this moment, figure after figure continued to appear.

"The Sect Leader of the Luo River Sword Sect."

"The Sect Leader of the Returning Unity Sect."

"The Sect Leader of the Azure Cloud Sect."

"The Sect Leader of Flower Thousand Valley."

Everyone could not help but click their tongues in amazement. These figures were the most supreme existences in the North Abyss Dao Domain. All of them had gathered here today—an occurrence rarely seen even once in a thousand years.

Not only did these people wield towering authority, their strength was also at the very pinnacle. A single word from them could determine the life and death of countless factions.

Now, they had all appeared for the youth before them. It was clear just how immense this youth's potential was!

"I am the Sect Leader of the Luo River Sword Sect. Little friend Su Changge, if you join the Luo River Sword Sect, you may obtain my sect's Inheritance Secret Art!"

The Luo River Sword Sect Leader's words caused countless people to erupt in uproar.

This Inheritance Secret Art was anything but ordinary. It was said to touch upon the Immortal Realm Intent: One Sword Reaching Heaven, Sword Can Slay Immortals.

Only their direct lineage was qualified to cultivate such a secret art!

Now, the Luo River Sword Sect had decided to pass such a secret art to an outsider. This showed that the price they were willing to pay was enormous!

"Our Flower Thousand Valley also has the Sword Dao—and not just the Sword Dao. Flower Thousand Valley can even devote everything to protecting your Dao. Any excessive request you make, I can fulfill!"

The one who spoke was the Sect Leader of Flower Thousand Valley, a mature woman whose every inch exuded the aura of a ripe peach. Her full twin peaks, in particular, were the very image of mature allure.

Moreover, Flower Thousand Valley had only ever recruited female disciples throughout the years. It seemed Su Changge's talent was truly too terrifying, enough for even them to decide to make an exception.

"My Great Qin Ancient Dynasty possesses True Dragon Fortune. If little friend Changge joins my Great Qin Ancient Dynasty, I can use One-Sixth of National Fortune to aid your attainment of the Great Dao!"

"My Luo Xia Sect has countless fairies, whose beauty can be called foremost in the North Abyss Dao Domain. If little friend Changge joins my Luo Xia Sect, you may have both the Great Dao and beauties."

"My Returning Unity Sect once produced an existence Above Saint. Little friend Changge, joining my sect would be the most correct choice."

The leaders of the various factions each introduced their own sects, promising all manner of benefits.

The people around them were all dumbfounded. They could spend their entire lives striving and perhaps never obtain even one such opportunity.

Yet now, these top figures were exerting themselves to promote their own factions. Comparing oneself to others truly could anger a person to death!

"Even in the history of the North Abyss Dao Domain, there is probably only this one instance of such a scene!"

"I think just telling others about this scene would be enough for me to brag for a lifetime. Your brother here witnessed the birth of a Saintly Body!"

Everyone was filled with emotion, yet no one felt jealousy.

Jealousy arose only when one felt that the gap between them could be caught up to.

When that gap became an insurmountable heavenly chasm, all one could do was gaze from afar, forever unable to reach it.

The Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo was a legendary existence. They were only worthy of looking up to such a person.

The Returning Origin Holy Master was also furious. He truly wanted to suppress and kill these blind fools outright!

But recalling his holy land's plans, he forcibly restrained his rage.

"Now is not the time to reveal the holy land's foundation."

"It seems I can only report this to the ancestor..."

As he spoke, a streak of divine light faintly flew from his hand and descended into the Returning Origin Ancestral Land.

Cultivation realms: Spirit Body, Spirit Sea, Divine Ability, Dao Platform, Purple Mansion, Emperor Sealing, Venerable, Great Power, Sage, Great Sage, Supreme Sage, Holy Master, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor. Each realm is divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and completion.

PS: This book has many battles. A great many.

Especially later on, there will be battles with some contemporary heavenly prodigies, as well as large-scale legion battles erupting between supreme factions. Some battles may even last several chapters, which may seem very long-winded to many readers.

But I truly cannot summarize a major battle with just one punch and one kick.

This book is about heavenly prodigies vying for supremacy. If every prodigy were wiped out with one kick, one punch, or one slap, there would truly be nothing much to write about.

Since one walks the Emperor's Path, battles are inevitable.

I feel that while battle scenes may be cumbersome, they are at least much better than endless rambling dialogue. I know many people will say otherwise.

But I will not change it. The Emperor's Path is fundamentally about heavenly prodigies vying for supremacy—the protagonist contending against all manner of heavenly prodigies and clashing with powerful experts of every Great Dao.

So I want to make this clear to all my dear readers: there will be a great many battles. Aside from a small amount of plot setup and foreshadowing—

If they are not on the road to fighting, then they are on the road to filling in foreshadowing. So having read this far, please make your choice.

Thank you for crossing paths with me, and thank you for your support.
