Chapter 121: A Grand Era Rises, Mother and Daughter's Path

Chapter 121: A Grand Era Rises, Mother and Daughter's Path

Nearly ten thousand years passed, and the world underwent a transformation. Essence flowed abundantly, once again making it conducive to cultivation.

Heroes and prodigies emerged one after another, signaling the dawn of a grand era.

The stars shone brightly as people mourned the passing of the Eastern Sovereign and the Void Emperor, while also looking forward to the arrival of this grand era.

The ancient star paths had long been thriving, with one young genius after another embarking on their journeys, sparking a fierce competition.

The vibrant energy and the signs of a new emperor’s emergence seemed to be just around the corner.

“North Dipper, I’ve returned. Alas, things are no longer the same, and we can never return to how it once was.”

The Western Sovereign, draped in a colorful feather cloak, stood alone on the Spouse-Watching Cliff, her gaze sweeping over the Jade Pool Holy Land and the entire Northern Domain.

In the past, a fully developed Sacred Body often lingered here, which is how it got its name.

The world did not know the true reason, and many romantic love stories were fabricated around it.

In reality, it was just a man who, seeing his wife taken over by his daughter, felt dejected and went to the nearby mountain to blow off steam.

“I really like this place,” a crystalline, translucent stone transmitted its thoughts. After so many years, the Nine-Aperture Wondrous Stone was not far from reaching perfection.

“I like it too, but you have another destination,” the Western Sovereign gathered her thoughts and brought the Nine-Aperture Wondrous Stone to the Immortality Mountain.

She activated the imprint left by Eternal Blossom, and the Immortal Bell gently trembled, opening the path.

Following its instinct, the Nine-Aperture Wondrous Stone chose a favorite cliff to stand on.

It would take over a hundred thousand years to fully develop and emerge, and it would likely remain here for a long time.

From that point on, a Sacred Spirit transformed from a fully developed Sacred Body took over the Kunlun Celestial Palace.

The Western Sovereign stayed at the Immortality Mountain for a while, taking the Vitality Crucible and a lamp that Eternal Blossom had left behind.

The Vitality Crucible contained a vial of Imperial Sovereign Blood, which not only gathered the Eternal Immortal Essence from several Sovereigns but also the refined blood of Eternal Blossom herself, making it an unparalleled treasure.

This was far more precious than any nine-turn immortal pill and could even grant ancient emperors a second life.

The lamp, naturally, was the Pathfire Lamp. Over a hundred thousand years, it had burned through the blood and bones of the Immortal Emperor, and after absorbing the remnants of faith, it had transformed into an Ultimate Sovereign Armament.

A flame burned eternally, capable of consuming all the realms, ranking among the strongest of all Ultimate Sovereign Armaments, and showing signs of evolving into an Immortal Artifact.

“Everything is arranged. I can just sit back and enjoy the fruits,” the Western Sovereign put away the Vitality Crucible and the Pathfire Lamp, feeling a warm, comforting sensation, her eyes filled with tenderness.

To have such a daughter was truly worth it.

“Little Nian, lend me your name for a while,” the Western Sovereign left the Immortality Mountain and soon learned about what her daughter had done. She transformed herself and joined the Jade Pool Holy Land.

That year, the Jade Pool Holy Land gained a new Holy Maiden. She rarely showed her skills, never defeating anyone, but also never losing, making her quite mysterious.

Of course, the one who stayed in the Jade Pool Holy Land was just an avatar of the Western Sovereign. She was not about to personally compete with the young generation.

Her true self went to the Mythic Beyond, bringing the Tree of Vitality and the Kunlun Celestial Palace to Eternal Blossom. The Immortal Peach remained in the Kunlun Mountains, while the Ginseng Fruit Tree was placed in the North Dipper to stir the winds and clouds.

During her travels between these three places, Eternal Blossom also ventured beyond the chaos, bringing back the Chaos Primordial Expanse she had opened during her enlightenment and settling it in the Mythic Beyond, creating another life-bearing land.

This place was actually formed from the remains of the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, a self-contained world where few could enter. The four killing swords originally resided in the Celestial Sovereign's Sea of Suffering, and the array diagram was located in the Mythic Beyond.

The Mythic Beyond was home to many living beings, and far ahead lay the Celestial Armament Ancient Star, which was the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure's head.

Eternal Blossom thoroughly transformed this Mythic Beyond, using the remaining Five Elements Essence to reshape the land, merging all the large and small life-bearing lands into one vast expanse comparable to the North Dipper.

She also constructed a heavenly path, connecting the Celestial Sovereign's Sea of Suffering below to the Chaos Primordial Expanse above, clearing the original faith power and redirecting it for her own use.

The world had been tampered with, placing a curse on the living beings within, akin to a shackle, making the faith power they generated fatally flawed.

Like the corpse aura of an emperor, which could ignite the faith power and cause the place to collapse.

The living beings in the Mythic Beyond had studied faith power to an extreme, providing Eternal Blossom with significant insights, leading her to make these arrangements.

By reshaping the Mythic Beyond, she also lifted the restrictions, intending to test the limits of faith power and see how far the people here could go.

Faith power, after all, was the collective strength of the masses, far more effective than her solitary contemplation.

Eternal Blossom dispatched avatars to spread the faith of the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, focusing on avoiding entanglements. She would not take action herself until she was absolutely confident.

In a sense, the Mythic Beyond was within the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, making it a form of self-production and self-consumption.

She resolved the hidden dangers here, remade the heavens and earth, and claimed to be the disciple of the Celestial Venerable of Spiritual Treasure, using his name. Everyone naturally paid their devout respects to the Venerable.

Several sages from the Chaos Primordial Expanse also ascended, looking at the vast, empty sacred land before them. They yearned to claim it for themselves but suppressed their impatience, offering their sincere reverence to the supreme deity who had saved them.

"Anyone who can climb the Heavenly Stair can reside here and listen to the divine will", Eternal Blossom said in a very calm tone, as if she were a lofty deity. In reality, she felt quite helpless inside.

She didn't enjoy appearing as a saint before people; preaching and teaching were fine, but this was the first time she had done something like this.

"You finished so quickly", the Western Sovereign praised, surprised that Eternal Blossom had accomplished everything so swiftly.

"Of course, do you know who I am?" Eternal Blossom's sense of helplessness dissipated, and she couldn't help but smile, revealing another side of herself.

She placed the Celestial Palace in the deepest part of the Chaos Primordial Expanse, planting the Tree of Vitality that had regrown, and settling the Immortal Metal Sacred Embryo and the Green Bronze Cauldron inside.

Finally, she no longer had to sleep under the sky and on the earth, exposed to the elements.

The Nine Dragon Coffin had been brought over by her early on, but this artifact had an extraordinary origin. In the human realm, it was simply beyond imagination, and there was no hope of studying it to uncover its secrets.

In comparison, the Incomplete Immortal Realm it contained was more valuable. At least it was something tangible that could be slightly explored.

Eternal Blossom had long carried the White Tiger Divine Elixir with her.

The Celestial Palace was rebuilt from the remains of the Phoenix Nest. Her two disciples, Nan Jinping and Li Xingruo, were sealed inside, along with their parents.

In this lifetime, Eternal Blossom intended to release her two disciples to hone their skills.

As disciples of the Sixfold Heaven Emperor, it was unacceptable for their cultivation to be merely at the initial stage of the Near-Emperor realm. They should at least reach the peak of the Near-Ninth Absolute.

This lifetime, if nothing went wrong, would be the era when the Chaotic Antiquity Emperor would achieve enlightenment after a life of adversity and repeated defeats.

The young should not be sleeping; they should rise and compete on the path to becoming emperors.

The Chaotic Antiquity Emperor was not like the Supreme Emperor. In another lifetime, it might be uncertain whether he could achieve enlightenment and become an emperor. He was too unique, and one couldn't judge him by ordinary standards.

So, Eternal Blossom would not interfere too much, only sending him her scriptures and secretly helping to protect his loved ones, ensuring their safety.

Yes, it would also be a good opportunity to hone her two less-than-adequate disciples.

The sixth incarnation of Eternal Blossom already showed signs of being unaffected by the passage of time.

The fruit of the Eternal Dao, combined with the Space-Time Dao, made the flow of time around her slow down, giving her a sense of being in a forbidden zone.

Carrying the people sealed in the divine source with her also had some benefits for them.

"I remember you were quite averse to the power of faith. Why are you studying it now? Isn't it too much to handle four things at once?" the Western Sovereign asked, somewhat worried that she might be biting off more than she could chew.

"In this lifetime, the main focus is on the transformation of the Chaos Green Lotus. It will take a long time to see if the Chaos Blood can succeed, and the derivation of the Immortal Phoenix Rebirth Technique is not something that can be accomplished in a day", Eternal Blossom shook her head and explained.

"As for faith, things are different now. The past is the past, and the present is the present. When one understands enough, they become less averse to it."

In short, the latter three tasks were extremely long-term projects, requiring tens of thousands of years or more to truly bear fruit. For now, she was just starting them, making some preliminary preparations in her spare time.

"You should manage it as you see fit", the Western Sovereign said, seeing her daughter's resolve and feeling even more pleased.

Eternal Blossom was doing everything she could to help the Chaos Green Lotus develop an independent divine consciousness, hoping to free it from its constraints and allow it to take form as soon as possible.

This was her opportunity for the next life.

She had already achieved rebirth from death in her second reverse life, so other elixirs of immortality no longer moved her.

But the transformation of an elixir of immortality was different, even more miraculous than reversing life and death.

Turning a non-cultivating lotus into a true, flesh-and-blood being—if she could witness this process, the gains would be unimaginable.

At the same time, she divided her attention to observe the development of the Chaos Blood, analyze the mysteries of the Immortal Phoenix Rebirth Technique, and study faith and mental power. Each achievement could grant her another life, keeping her very busy and fulfilled.

The Western Sovereign also stayed by her daughter's side, often sitting back-to-back, a scene of great beauty.

Her path was also clear. In this lifetime, she had integrated the Sacred Body into the Dao Embryo, though she couldn't reverse her innate nature, it was still a significant improvement for her, and her shortcomings had been addressed.

The simplest way for the next life would be to bathe in the Imperial Sovereign Blood and use the Eternal Immortal Essence to live another life.

She was also studying the Chaos Embodiment, hoping to transform the anomalies within her body into a world-shaking transformation, embodying all the laws and becoming a chaos being, which was not impossible.

Most importantly, she could merge with the Immortal Metal Sacred Embryo and the Chaos Dao Blood to verify and enhance the success rate.

If she could achieve this first, she wouldn't need to use the Imperial Sovereign Blood Essence. She could rely on the Eternal Immortal Essence born within her to live another life!
