Mount Wangu! Located in the northern region, this divine mountain is incredibly huge, like a pillar of heaven and earth. Mount Wangu occupies one percent of the territory in the northern region, almost larger than some mountain ranges, and even larger than the territories of some forbidden areas. Mount Wangu soars into the clouds, reaching the sky. Even when surrounded by the vast starry sky, one can still catch a glimpse of Mount Wangu's figure. This is the most magnificent divine mountain in the Nine Heavens Realm, and also the most mysterious. Because it was left behind by the ancient Emperor Wangu! Emperor Wangu was extraordinarily talented, and no one knows where he came from. All that is known is that Emperor Wangu was initially unremarkable, but later became unparalleled in history. Some rumors say that Emperor Wangu came from the northern region, while others say he came from the Eastern Wilderness or the Western Desert.
In any case, various rumors are spread. But these rumors are just embellishments for their own regions. As for where he actually came from, no one knows. Only Emperor Wangu himself knows. It is because Emperor Wangu left behind Mount Wangu in the northern region when he disappeared in the past that many people believe he came from the northern region! If he didn't come from the northern region, why would he deliberately leave behind Mount Wangu there? Emperor Wangu is extremely special, with an unknown origin, and no one knows whether he ultimately perished or became an ancient supreme being! All beings only know that after Emperor Wangu sealed the Heavenly Demon in the past, he lived for thousands of years and finally left behind Mount Wangu. He eventually disappeared from the world, leaving no trace. Unlike other emperors, Emperor Wangu did not leave behind a legacy. There is no so-called immortal power, nor any imperial weapons passed down. From the beginning, he came alone, and in the end, he left alone! It seems that he was alone throughout. Lonely and desolate, accompanying the divine path! Although he did not leave behind a legacy, he left enough blessings in Mount Wangu. Within Mount Wangu, there are various legacies collected by Emperor Wangu in the past, all left behind in the depths of Mount Wangu! These legacies include inheritances from various major forces, almost all immortal forces, and even the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon. They are all placed inside, waiting for future generations to obtain them! It seems that he came alone and left alone.
Of course, in addition to these inheritances, there are also Emperor Wangu's own legacies within Mount Wangu. There are a total of three, which can only be opened with the Wangu Tokens. Each legacy obtained through the Wangu Tokens is completely different, but there is one thing that is the same, and that is Emperor Wangu's insights into the Great Emperor Realm and the Red Dust Immortal Realm. The Red Dust Immortal Realm is an extremely special realm! The normal progression of realms is to comprehend the Great Dao in the Great Emperor Realm, ultimately master the Great Dao, and step into the True Immortal Realm, achieving immortality and eternal life. Due to the incompleteness of the Great Dao in the Nine Heavens Realm and the absence of laws, it is impossible to support the ascension of living beings to the True Immortal Realm. Because of this, countless geniuses who swallowed the stars and shone in their era eventually stagnated at the Great Emperor Realm. Even if they exhaust their entire lives, they cannot surpass this barrier! Some are unwilling and choose to wait for the drastic changes in the world, hoping that one day the Immortal Domain will open and bring about a turning point on the path to immortality. These people are known as the Ancient Supreme Beings. Some are unwilling to become Ancient Supreme Beings and would rather perish on the path to immortality. Emperor Wangu, however, is an exception, with astonishing talent beyond imagination. In the long years, he finally found a completely different path! The Red Dust Immortal! Travel through the mortal world, comprehend the various states of the mortal world! Finally, achieve enlightenment and become an immortal in the midst of the mortal world! This is a completely different realm, not inferior to the True Immortal Realm, but even more superior! Although slightly stronger than the True Immortal Realm, it is also more difficult to achieve. In the midst of the mortal world, forgetting everything and comprehending all aspects of the world requires a long time and is easy to be trapped in the mortal world, unable to extricate oneself! In the end, the Great Dao collapses, and there is no way to reach the end. This path is extremely difficult and hard to walk. Now, only the Empress Tianhu has embarked on the same journey as Emperor Wangu. After enduring for a hundred thousand years, we have arrived at the most crucial moment. As long as we pass through this lifetime, the Empress Tianhu can ascend to become an immortal! Originally, the Empress Tianhu still needed some time, but due to the influence of the Supreme Soul Jade, she was able to replenish her strength quickly. Now, she has reached the level of complete fusion of divine souls. Perhaps it won't be long before she undergoes a complete transformation and becomes the second Red Dust Immortal after the Great Emperor of Eternity. Among the three Eternal Tokens, one of them belongs to the Empress Tianhu. Originally, it was in the Ye family's possession, but later it was obtained by Jiang Chen. Because they don't know where the Great Emperor of Eternity is, they have been unable to use the Eternal Tokens all this time. It's not that they haven't tested the Eternal Tokens in the Eternal Mountain, but there has never been any response.
Naturally, they feel that the Eternal Mountain is not the place where the Great Emperor of Eternity's inheritance is located. Even countless beings who have obtained the Eternal Tokens over the long years have tested them in the Eternal Mountain, but they have never had any effect. This has led everyone to believe that the Great Emperor of Eternity's inheritance is not in the Eternal Mountain, but somewhere else. Or perhaps there is no such thing as the inheritance of the Great Emperor of Eternity at all! As for the other token, Jiang Chen knows where it is. It belongs to the power outside the starry sky, the Star Palace! This power, which is detached from the starry sky, rarely enters the Nine Heavens Realm, resulting in very few people knowing about it. Only when the Emperor's Road opens every time, the beings from the Star Palace are exceptionally outstanding, causing various forces to be wary of them. Apart from this, there is no other information. In addition, the Star Palace's battlefield is not in the Nine Heavens Realm, and it does not interfere with the Nine Heavens Realm. Naturally, no one pays attention to the Star Palace. But Jiang Chen knows that the Star Palace is very powerful and unfathomable. There is a supreme Star God Body sitting inside, but no one knows about it due to some reason. During the dark and turbulent times, the Star Palace also made a great effort. To some extent, the Star Palace can be considered a righteous force. Although they rarely enter the Nine Heavens Realm, the Star Palace has a good understanding of the Nine Heavens Realm. Because the Void Palace, which has been rooted in the Nine Heavens Realm for countless years, belongs to the Star Palace. The relationship between the Primordial Saint Lord and the Void Palace's Lord is good, and they are old acquaintances. Therefore, the relationship between the Star Palace and the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning is also good. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a world. With a world, there will naturally be no shortage of towns and facilities. As the number one divine mountain in the Nine Heavens Realm, and the treasure left behind by the Ancient Emperor of Eternity, the Eternal Mountain still attracts countless beings from all over the Nine Heavens Realm who come to seek treasures. They seek powerful inheritances, supreme techniques, and unparalleled elixirs! Even more so, they seek the elusive inheritance of the Great Emperor of Eternity. Although no one has found it in the past million years, many people have confirmed that the inheritance of the Great Emperor of Eternity is not here. But there are always some people who don't believe it and always feel that the Great Emperor of Eternity left this divine mountain, leaving behind so many opportunities, "it is impossible not to place his own inheritance in Fangshi Mountain." In fact... They have indeed guessed correctly. The inheritance of the Great Emperor of Eternity is indeed located in the Eternal Mountain, but just having the Eternal Tokens is not enough to open the inheritance.
There are still some special methods required! The Eternal City. This is a huge city located in the Eternal Mountain, originally owned by the Guo family. But after the Guo family's demise, the ownership naturally fell into the hands of the only immortal force in the Northern Region, the Yin Yang Sacred Land! As the most prosperous and magnificent city in the Eternal Mountain. The Eternal City is grand and majestic, with a vast territory, like a coiled dragon. There are palaces and pavilions in the city, and countless beings travel within them. Here, you can see any beings from the Nine Heavens Realm. The Primordial Royal Family, the Human Race, and various strange ancient races. You can find them all here. Among the bustling crowd, there are two figures walking. The two of them have ordinary appearances and are almost impossible to find in the crowd! Like a grain of sand falling into the vast ocean, they cannot be found. The man is wearing a plain blue robe, with an ordinary face and a warm smile like the morning sun. He looks amiable and extremely gentle, but there is a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows, looking down on all living beings. This is the inherent pride that is not easily noticed! The woman is wearing a white dress, as white as snow. Her face is ordinary, with eyes as calm as an ancient well, expressionless, as if her emotions have been robbed by the heavens! There is no trace of emotional fluctuations, just a slight emptiness. "You said there was something important, so you brought me here?" "Could it be that you want to take me to the Wan Gu Mountain to search for treasures?" Zi Qing Yan looked at the man standing in front of her, her tone calm, but extremely puzzled! This man in front of her, who punches the ancient supreme and kicks the immortal forces, has been hailed as the most powerful existence in the Nine Heavens Realm. Respected and feared by countless people. She thought that whatever this man considered important must be truly significant. But it turns out he just brought her here to enjoy the scenery. This slightly dumbfounded Zi Qing Yan. It has been three months already. They haven't done anything, just traveled from the Eastern Wilderness, enjoying the scenery along the way until they arrived here! This is what he considers important. "Isn't that good?"
Jiang Chen smiled lightly and said, "All things are the Dao. Immersing yourself in the understanding of the Dao every day is the Dao. Isn't traveling through the mortal world and experiencing the flavors of life also the Dao?" "Understanding the myriad ways of heaven and earth is indeed important, but it doesn't mean that we should deprive ourselves of our humanity!" "The Dao of heaven and earth is the Dao, and the mortal world is also the Dao!" "They are all means of understanding the great Dao!" "Moreover, if you immerse yourself in the understanding of the myriad ways of heaven and earth every day, one day you will eventually merge with the myriad ways of heaven and earth!" "That's not a good thing!" Jiang Chen's original plan was to obtain the inheritance of the Wan Gu Emperor. He originally planned to use the Heavenly Mirror to directly obtain the Wan Gu Emperor's inheritance. But seeing Zi Qing Yan immerse herself in the Dao every day, gradually losing her emotions, Jiang Chen had to change his plan. Although immersing oneself in the understanding of the Dao of heaven and earth is indeed good, it can daily enhance one's understanding and cultivation of the Dao. The consequence of doing so is that one's subsequent emotions will gradually fade away. And even... eventually merge into the myriad ways of heaven and earth. Jiang Chen didn't want Zi Qing Yan to go down this path! It's not necessarily that understanding the myriad ways of heaven and earth will make one stronger. The various states of the mortal world are also the Dao. Moreover, the Wan Gu Emperor has already tried it and found that completely merging with the myriad ways of heaven and earth is not the only way out! ...Please give flowers... "Why is this not a good thing?" Zi Qing Yan frowned slightly, not understanding what Jiang Chen meant, and asked, "Every day, I understand the Dao of heaven and earth, and every day I make further progress in understanding the myriad ways of heaven and earth. My own strength also becomes stronger. Isn't this what cultivators strive for?" "If you sink into the mortal world and let your cultivation stagnate, isn't that contrary to the original intention of cultivators?" What is a cultivator? Isn't it to understand the myriad ways of heaven and earth and make oneself stronger? What's wrong with what she's doing? "You are not wrong!" Jiang Chen shook his head. Zi Qing Yan became even more puzzled. If she's not wrong, why does he want to stop her? "I am not wrong either!" "We are both not wrong!" Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is not wrong. These are the things that cultivators seek throughout their lives. However, cultivation is not just about cultivation!"
"Why do you want to become stronger?" "Just for the sake of becoming stronger?" Zi Qing Yan looked at Jiang Chen strangely and said, "Of course, cultivators don't cultivate just to become stronger. It's to make themselves stronger, to better understand the essence of heaven and earth!" "What you understand about the essence of heaven and earth is only superficial!" "The essence of heaven and earth should not only be the empty rules of heaven and earth, but also the various living beings that exist in the world, countless races and creatures coming together, the collision of thoughts, the collision of emotions..." "All of these form the mortal world, which is also the essence of heaven and earth!" "Not to mention anything else, just you who are single-mindedly focused on understanding the Dao, can you compare to the Wan Gu Heavenly Emperor?" Jiang Chen had no intention of changing Zi Qingyan's true nature, but rather wanted to give her more choices. He also wanted her to not sacrifice her emotions and blend into the vast world of emptiness in order to become stronger in the future. "Naturally, I can't compare!" Zi Qingyan fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking. She was aware of her own limitations, knowing that the existence of the Eternal Emperor was extraordinary. Throughout history, there was only one person who might have a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Eternal Emperor, perhaps the man in front of her. But for now, she couldn't, and she didn't have the confidence. The higher one's cultivation level, the more they understood the greatness of the Eternal Emperor in the past. "Let's not talk about the distant Eternal Emperor!" "Are you my opponent?" "No!" Zi Qingyan sincerely admitted. For her, the world was either black or white, with no other colors. There was no room for anything else. But Jiang Chen wanted to tell Zi Qingyan that the world was not just black and white, there were delicate shades of gray and transparent red. Full of colors, vibrant and diverse. "Since you are not as good as me, it doesn't mean that your path is absolutely correct!" "I'm not denying the path you choose!" "But I want to tell you that the world is not limited to the empty laws of the universe. Apart from that, there is also the mortal world built by billions of living beings!" "Even the mighty Eternal Emperor had to walk this path, breaking free from the imprisonment of countless ages, and ultimately transcending into the supreme immortal realm!" "Do you think it's worth it to walk the path of the mortal world?" Jiang Chen spoke slowly. Upon hearing this, Zi Qingyan fell into contemplation, her mind churning.
It seemed like she was pondering the truth behind Jiang Chen's words. "The Eternal Emperor has become an immortal?" A hint of astonishment appeared on Zi Qingyan's face. That was an ancient legend, a myth. Throughout the long years, no one had ever heard of anyone achieving immortality. Even the unparalleled Emperor had not accomplished it! It was the first time she learned that the Eternal Emperor had actually become an immortal. "Of course!" "The original path to immortality in this world has been sealed off. The Eternal Emperor found another way, a completely new path!" "The Immortal of the Mortal World, comprehending the world within the vast mortal realm for countless lifetimes, ultimately transcending oneself!" "The mortal world is not poison!" Jiang Chen explained, "For most cultivators, due to various reasons, they lack talent, background, and cultivation, which leads to a hopeless future, inner despair, and doubt in oneself. It's easy for them to become trapped in the mortal world and completely abandon their cultivation. That's why it's considered poison!" "But it's different for you and me. We don't lack these things, so the toxins of the mortal world won't affect us." "On the contrary, it can become a beneficial medicine for us to reach a higher level!" "Everything has two sides. If you are completely obsessed with the laws of the universe, it's certainly not wrong, but in the end, it will completely erase your emotions and turn you into a part of the laws of the universe!" "At that time, you will still be you, but not the person in my heart!" "I don't want you to erase your emotions and become just a being called Zi Qingyan, but rather a flesh and blood Zi Qingyan!" "Of course, the choice is ultimately up to you." "If you choose the former, I won't stop you." "It's your own choice, and it's your own path. I respect your choice." Jiang Chen's gaze was deep as he looked at Zi Qingyan and spoke slowly. Upon hearing this, Zi Qingyan fell into silence for a long time, lost in deep thought. Finally, she slowly raised her head and said lightly, "The heavens and earth are vast, but the mortal world suits me." Jiang Chen slowly revealed a smile.
