They still have some expectations for themselves.
"Then it's decided. This journey through the mortal world will be to find the way to reverse life and to seek the traces of the Emperor!" The Qilin Emperor made his decision.
Qin Feng nodded, watching the group leave from the Heavenly Court.
After a long while, he lowered his gaze and looked intently at the strange world.
"Your Majesty, are you currently in the mortal realm, or in that strange world?"
"If you were still in the mortal realm, besides plotting to become a furnace between the two worlds, what else would you be scheming for!?"
Chapter 97 The New Emperor, the Celestial Venerable Makes His Move
Qin Feng emerged from the Heavenly Court once again, but this time he was all alone, unlike before.
However, none of this mattered. Whether it was him or the other emperors, they were all quite used to being alone.
When they looked down upon the universe back then, from the moment they attained enlightenment, they were, in fact, already solitary travelers in the mortal world.
The lifespan of an emperor starts at ten thousand years, and after two lifetimes, he can live for more than twenty thousand years. However, his former relatives and friends, unless sealed by the divine source, only have a lifespan of a few thousand years.
In the beginning, all the real relatives had passed away. Although there were still many followers in the years that followed, these followers were mostly just worshippers.
That sense of loneliness is something that these followers can never fill.
Qin Feng is in this situation now. He was originally a traveler in a foreign land and thought he would not have any ties, but he still met many new people and experienced many new things along the way.
Gradually, their bond deepened, but time is merciless, and they all eventually perished in the mortal world, leaving him all alone.
"What a pity, we're still the same group we were back then, not suited for true cultivation!"
Qin Feng wandered through the vast universe, each step he took covering an infinitely long distance, passing by many ancient planets inhabited by life.
Unlike the situation on Flying Immortal Star, the Flying Immortal Battlefield gathers geniuses from many eras, each a leading figure in their respective fields.
On many ancient life-bearing planets, there are even more people without sufficient talent. Among them are many so-called 'prodigies,' but these are only relative to their respective sects or countries.
Qin Feng raised his eyes and looked at the cultivators on these ancient life stars, clearly seeing the struggles of many cultivators in the mortal world.
In a daze, many memories flooded my mind.
Looking back, more than 100,000 years ago, he was just a member of a small sect, not even a sect prodigy.
All his relatives and friends were also in the affiliated forces of that small sect.
The only difference is that he started his own business. With Brother Tong's strong support, he had a smooth journey and gradually distanced himself from his peers.
However, such small sects cannot cultivate true geniuses; they can only produce immortal masters who are only good at cultivating immortality for ordinary people.
Unfortunately, over hundreds or thousands of years, those that were destined to perish have all perished.
"If they had been able to persevere until I attained enlightenment, or even until I became a saint, perhaps I could have defied fate for them."
Qin Feng sighed, "It's a pity. Such things are destined to be unchangeable, unless I can reach the level of those three cunning people and reflect an era in a single thought."
"Otherwise, even if one reaches the level of an Immortal Emperor, it is still impossible to accomplish this. In the era of reflection, old companions like them who do not have sufficient foundation will find it difficult to truly recover and emerge from the reflection."
Qin Feng was deep in thought, analyzing the situation.
At the level of Immortal Emperor, one can truly roam through the ages and change many things.
For example, if he reaches the Immortal Emperor realm and travels back in time, he can use some special means to keep the other party alive, but it is impossible for them to live to his time.
As for reflecting the heavens, Qin Feng is still unsure whether he needs to reach the very high realm of the Immortal Emperor and reach the true end of the path, or whether he needs to reach the realm of the Sacrifice Dao.
He speculated that it should be possible for an Immortal Emperor, but even an Immortal Emperor could not withstand the backlash that reflected an entire era.
Therefore, only by reaching the level of ritual can one truly reflect an era, and this reflection... still places a great burden on the practitioner.
Just like Huang's conquest of the plateau, where he single-handedly blocked a spring, causing headaches for the ten strange ancestors, but after reflecting an era, he still disappeared for many years and had to be restored.
"Forget about these things for now. I should just focus on traveling around the mortal world. An emperor should be born in this era, but I don't know who that emperor will be."
Qin Feng took another step forward.
The next moment, he arrived at the Flying Immortal Battlefield.
The real battle has reached a fever pitch. The young Azure Emperor has now reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and is even only one step away from the final imperial throne.
Not all prodigies will stay in the Flying Immortal Battlefield forever; they will all leave after a certain period of time, but some will stay.
Wan Qing stayed behind, Huo Linzi stayed behind, and Tianhuangzi and Xiao Xianhuang also stayed behind.
Now all four are in the same position, having reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, and are vying for the final imperial throne.
The others have become losers, not that they have completely fallen, but that there is still a gap between them.
For example, there are some who are at the seventh or eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, and even some who are at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm.
Unfortunately, there was a huge gap between them and the four. Although they were at the same level, they were no match for the four.
“Brother Wan Qing, today the two of us can join forces and fight against the people of this Divine Dynasty.”
Huo Linzi shouted loudly. At this moment, he was fighting with the Heavenly Emperor's son. The two of them fought with true rage, and blood flowed for 30,000 miles.
Wan Qing is currently fighting with Xiao Xianhuang. With a casual strike from each of them, they can shatter a universe. Their quasi-emperor light shines across the heavens. They can both be considered the pillars of the Heavenly Court and the Divine Dynasty, respectively, and are truly the number one people of their era.
There were no excessive words, only serious attacks between them, each time leaving the other bleeding profusely.
Wan Qing did not respond to Huo Linzi's call, focusing all his attention on the battle.
Huo Linzi is the son of the Qilin Emperor and has long been considered a member of the Heavenly Court, but he has never visited the Heavenly Court.
Huo Linzi also harbored a strong ambition; he wanted to truly step into the realm of the Great Emperor before finally going to see his father.
Two emperors from one family, an eternal glory.
Therefore, Wan Qing was now certain that Huo Linzi was a teammate he could trust to entrust his back to.
Little Phoenix is a tough nut to crack, much stronger than the Heavenly Emperor's son, even though they are at the same realm.
Wan Qing was certain that Little Fairy Phoenix could easily crush the Heavenly Emperor's son.
They were born to the same mother, and the Heavenly Emperor's son was the eldest while Little Fairy Phoenix was only the second. But if you really want to judge, the Heavenly Emperor's son was more like the one raised by a stepmother.
Despite possessing numerous resources prepared by the Immortal Emperor, he has lost many of the most crucial elements, making it difficult for him to truly become invincible among his contemporaries.
For example, right now, Huo Linzi is already overwhelming Tianhuangzi.
Meanwhile, he was locked in a fierce battle with Little Fairy Phoenix, and if he was not careful, Little Fairy Phoenix would seize the opportunity.
"A new emperor is about to appear."
Qin Feng watched all this from the shadows, and at a glance, he could see that the conditions inside Wan Qing and Xiao Xianhuang's bodies were different.
Compared to Huo Linzi and Tianhuangzi, these two are clearly the ones who will ultimately become emperor. Who will be the victor in this battle?
Ultimately, who will be the new emperor of this era?
At that moment, another person came along; it was the Immortal Emperor.
The immortal emperor rarely leaves the divine court, but each time he does, it is of great significance.
At that moment, he arrived, not far from Qin Feng.
"You want to interfere with the new emperor of this era?" Qin Feng asked indifferently.
The Immortal Emperor chuckled: "I do want to intervene, but in this era, do you think my intervention would still be effective?"
Qin Feng: "That would be best. If you want to interfere, then today I might as well see how strong you are in this life after you truly return from Nirvana."
“Other forbidden zones of life would also be happy to see us engage in a real war with each other; to them, we are a guillotine hanging over their heads.”
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor smiled.
"They are nothing but a bunch of self-destructive people; how can they compare to us?"
The Immortal Emperor said, "In fact, I have been considering one thing: I have never returned from Nirvana, only for the ultimate goal of becoming an immortal."
"But you are at the peak in every life. I wonder if I will regret not returning earlier to kill you when your abilities reach a higher level in the future."
Qin Feng's expression remained calm.
After staring at the Immortal Emperor for a long while, he spoke lightly, "You can try."
"Perfect timing. I'm also quite curious about which life you've lived to, and what level of strength you've reached now."
The Immortal Emperor's expression froze as he looked at Qin Feng, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Throughout the ages, we have seen people like Qin Feng before. Before we attained enlightenment, we have encountered people as stubborn as Qin Feng.
However, he did not expect that having reached this level of strength, Qin Feng would be carrying a great responsibility.
For someone with such a huge responsibility, Qin Feng was still willing to go all out.
"You don't have the open-mindedness of someone who truly wants to become an immortal; you want to take everything for yourself."
The Immortal Emperor sighed, "You should be like me, willing to sacrifice everything to become an immortal. Only then will you have no worries and be able to truly become an immortal."
"Even in my time, there were so many geniuses. To prove their Dao and become immortals, they all gave everything. They also went through many forbidden zones."
The Immortal Emperor was sighing.
It may seem like a sermon, but it is actually a metaphor.
Of course, most people might not understand what the immortal emperor was trying to express.
Unfortunately, Qin Feng truly knew about the events at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era, and many people did indeed sacrifice a great deal in order to become immortals.
Such as the three women around Huang: Huo Ling'er, Qingyi, and Yunxi.
In order to become an immortal, Qingyi went to the Immortal Realm, which can be considered as making some sacrifices. Although it was not a true sacrifice, it was still a real sacrifice.
Qingyi was already considered a true prodigy of that era, someone who could become an immortal, yet she still needed to do this.
It's easy to imagine the sacrifices those with slightly less talent would have to make in such matters.
At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly began to doubt the bloodline of the Undying Emperor.
Logically speaking, the Undying Emperor is a pure Celestial Phoenix from the Immortal Realm, with an invincible bloodline, so becoming an immortal should be an easy thing for him.
However, what is being done now is somewhat unsatisfactory.
"It seems to be a problem of this era, a problem of this land."
Qin Feng thought to himself, "So, even someone with a bloodline as powerful as the Undying Emperor can only embark on this path of severing ties?"
