In the long years of a reincarnation, Yuan Yin almost got possessed successfully seven times, but at the last moment, he suppressed all of them.

Three of those attempts occurred during the Era of Emperor Demise.

As for conversations like the one just now, they happened countless times.

Apart from the Emperor Artifact Ying Zhu Sword and those few in the Nine Kings' Palace, even his disciple Yuan Mei was unaware.

Who would believe it?

The Great Emperor of Tiangui, who became the nightmare of many in the Emperor Realm of the First Era, had fallen to the point of relying on the descendants of other Emperors to prolong his life?

Moreover, as more and more elixirs were consumed, their efficacy diminished greatly.

So.

Even after hearing from Ji Ming of Nine Kings' Palace that Xu Qingfeng had descendants on Earth and Jiu Feng had descendants on the Moon, Tiangui did not choose to act.

Even if they were refined into elixirs, they wouldn't be very effective.

"Great Emperor, if the Cloud Water Rust Characters you found back then did not contain the recipe for the Elixir of Immortality, but rather a ship leading to The Other Shore..."

The Artifact Spirit of the Ying Zhu Sword paused in its words, then continued after a long while: "Wouldn't you have already become an Immortal by now?"

Tiangui did not respond.

One of the sworn brothers of Jiu Kongsi found a ship in the Cloud Water Rust, rumored to be able to reach The Other Shore.

Thus. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He was hunted by Tiangui, Ji Ming, Xiao Yan, and others, but was never found.

As a result, later on, the Nine Kings' Palace began to doubt the existence of that ship, while only Tiangui always believed the ship was still with Jiu Kongsi.

During the eras of Jiu Kongsi's disappearance, Yuan Yin once suspected that Jiu Kongsi had already set sail from the Immortal Domain, heading to The Other Shore.

It was only recently that Yuan Yin learned Jiu Kongsi had not left the Immortal Domain, but had chosen some unknown way to merge with the Heavenly Dao, thereby escaping their pursuit.

That ship.

If it truly exists, Yuan Yin is determined to obtain it.

Though he is certain to climb to the top of the White Jade Stairway, pluck the Immortal Fruit, and reach The Other Shore through the light curtain to prove the Tao and achieve immortality, having more backup plans is obviously beneficial.

"Return to the Tiangui Clan."

Tiangui softly said: "Judging by the time, the Immortal Domain...should be in chaos."

...

...

A month has passed since the Heavenly Court issued the decree to campaign against the Great Emperor Tiangui.

Countless cultivators came from various parts of the Immortal Domain to join the Heavenly Court, but very few could truly become members of it.

Only the true elite and those with firm wills were able to join the Heavenly Court.

Those who failed to enter the Heavenly Court felt regret, but most received tasks assigned by the Heavenly Court.

There were two tasks: one was to guard a certain area and the other was to search for the whereabouts of Tiangui Yuan Yin.

Accepting these tasks came with Spirit Stones as remuneration, as well as the honor of contributing to the Immortal Domain.

Even if there were few Spirit Stones, even if the contribution was minimal, all cultivators were eager to participate.

After all, being able to witness the arrival and end of the Era of Emperor Demise firsthand is worth living for, and they might even leave a mark in the annals of history.

Although this mark.

Will only mention Great Emperor Qingfeng; the strategic Bai Divine General; Fairy Qing Yuan, who came with the Emperor Artifact; and the Empire-ending Eight Desolations Great Emperor and others of the Emperor Realm.

See.

Even Great Emperor Jiu Feng and Great Emperor Jin Shi are merely included under the word 'others,' so these low realm cultivators do not dare to hope for much.

How future histories are written is beyond Bai Ze's concern, and she can't be bothered.

After her death.

Let the flood come as it may.

But since she's alive, she has to clean up the mess left by Xu Qingfeng; after all, she's the second Divine General of the Heavenly Court.

"Immortal Domain cultivators with limited lifespan want to walk the White Jade Stairway, tread the Immortal Path, pick the Immortal Fruit, and prove Longevity. But for cultivators below Immortal Venerable, it's difficult to stain the White Jade Stairway red."

In the central hall of the Heavenly Court, Bai Ze calmly said, "Only Quasi-Emperors and Emperor Realm cultivators can quickly stain the White Jade Stairway red and break it."

Seventeen individuals sat around Bai Ze.

They included Fairy Qing Yuan, an elder Quasi-Emperor of the Taotie Clan, the current leader of the Fox Demon Clan, Yousu Qian, and the Anna sisters.

The remaining twelve were the most reliable allies of the Heavenly Court, all of whom were above the Quasi-Emperor Fourth Heaven, with clan members employed in the Heavenly Court.

The seventeen Quasi-Emperors did not speak, waiting for Bai Ze's next words.

"But not all Quasi-Emperors desire immortality, just as many of you won't step onto the White Jade Stairway."

"So, the Great Emperor Tiangui surely has contingencies in place to wreak havoc in the Immortal Domain, just like how he previously hid in the Samsara Sea, crashing souls into the Three Realm Gates."

"The enemy lurks in the shadows while we are in the light. I must trouble all of you, respected elders and daoists, to return to your respective Holy Lands to guard against anomalies in the Immortal Domain under your charge."

Bai Ze spoke at length.

"If we leave and Tiangui attacks the Heavenly Court, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Indeed, The Supreme Emperor has perished; the Heavenly Court is the cornerstone and cannot suffer mishap."

"..."

Some Quasi-Emperors frowned and spoke up.

"Rest assured, Great Emperor Jin Shi will guard the Heavenly Court." Bai Ze said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the old Taotie nodded and left.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Yousu Qian gave a respectful salute toward Bai Ze and the assembled Quasi-Emperors, preparing to depart as well.

"Is Senior Yousu still missing?" Bai Ze suddenly asked.

Fairy Qing Yuan and the Anna sisters, who were also preparing to leave, paused, their expressions calm.

They had deep ties with The Supreme Emperor.

Especially Anna, who loved to rival with Yousu Qinghuan, yet Yousu Qinghuan had been missing for a long time.

They had searched secretly, but found no clues.

"No."

Though Yousu Qian was at the Quasi-Emperor Second Heaven, his human form was that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he always spoke gently.

For the first time, his voice was grave: "May I ask Divine General Bai, does my ancestral father's disappearance involve the Great Emperor Tiangui?"

"Uncertain."

Bai Ze shook her head: "But The Supreme Emperor once found an ancestral father's tail at the bottom of the Boundless Sea."

Yousu Qian's expression changed dramatically.

Rumor had it the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had nine tails, losing one with each death, implying the ancestor once encountered a formidable enemy at the bottom of the Boundless Sea.

"Rest assured, that Fox Coquette is truly cunning, surely not dying." Anna snorted lightly.

Yousu Qian dared not speak.

In those days when Anna went to Qingqiu to argue with the ancestral father, he was just a young Celestial Venerable Realm.

"Sister..."

The younger sister tugged at Anna's sleeve.

"If the Western Immortal Domain can't be held, you can seek help from the Green Sect."

Fairy Qing Yuan gave Anna a deep glance and turned into a stream of light, disappearing.

"Seek????"

Anna's beautiful eyes widened: "You're something, Qing Yuan; are you looking down on me? If you have the guts, don't go. What's the big deal about the Nine Heavens of the Quasi-Emperor!"

"Sister, Sister Qing Yuan wasn't arrogant... Besides, Sister Qing Yuan is currently the most likely Quasi-Emperor Cultivator to prove the Emperor Realm; you should be careful with your words."

"You brat, since when did she become your sister? I'm your sister!"

Anna rattled on angrily: "Besides, Xu Qingfeng is already an Emperor, how could she possibly——"

She abruptly stopped halfway through her sentence.
