Chapter 2549 - 2514: Visitors from the Beidou Forbidden Area

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor silently watched these present-day beings.

Still human cultivators.

How many years has it been since he saw the human race of the present world? This stirred waves in his heart, and his gaze grew complex, lost in thought.

"The Taichu Forbidden Land, no one has ever survived from ancient times..."

"There are great opportunities here. As long as we obtain an Immortal Tribulation Grass, we can recreate the immortal foundation, rebuild the sect, and avenge many fallen comrades..."

In the crowd, a young man with a square face transmitted his voice.

They had sacrificed so much for today, and with no retreat behind them, they could only fight to the death, placing all their hopes on the ancient records of their sect.

Many years ago, an ancestor master of their sect had seen the legendary Immortal Tribulation Grass here.

Once this grass is plucked, a peerless elite will emerge within the sect, and it is destined to restore the glory of the sect left by past ancestor masters!

More than a dozen human cultivators all showed determined faces, scattering and cautiously heading towards the yellow-hued immortal grass in the distance.

Clang!

Something unknown occurred, and the leading Refining Nothingness Cultivator instantly turned into a blood mist. No one understood what happened or what trap was triggered; they only knew someone had perished, incomprehensible to everyone.

All the human cultivators were engulfed in fear, their Great Dao went blank.

All mana, divine abilities, and Divine Sense disappeared, feeling as helpless and powerless as mortals, fearing death would descend at any moment, chilling their hearts.

"Take a detour!"

"This time, I will test the way; after my death, Second Junior Brother, you take over!"

The square-faced young man transmitted his voice, took a deep breath, and spoke lowly.

"Senior Brother!"

Many human cultivators were shocked, their eyes brimming with tears.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Another Refining Nothingness Cultivator said solemnly.

They moved step by step towards the dusk-hued immortal grass recorded by their ancestor master, with the highest-ranking cultivator leading the way. With each step, someone fell, yet the remaining ones continued with reddened eyes.

...

"Immortal Tribulation Grass?"

"What a mess."

At the center of the Great Sun Forbidden Area, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor glanced at the cultivators’ target.

It was a weed.

He looked around; such weeds were everywhere.

Throughout the Great Sun Forbidden Area, such weeds were ubiquitous, vegetation born from countless years of being soaked in the End of Dharma Path rules and the aura of an ancient End of Dharma Forbidden Area Emperor.

However, they were indeed just weeds, common and growing everywhere, not precious at all.

Gradually, Jiang Ding understood.

"Who would have thought, one day, I too could grow an accompanying spiritual item."

"Interesting."

Jiang Ding thought silently.

In the eyes of a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor, time and mortals were different.

By the time his thoughts ended, these human cultivators had completed their task. All had perished, leaving only a little girl holding the Immortal Tribulation Grass, teary-eyed, fleeing from the place.

"After so many years, a natural cause and effect is finally born."

"What is the starry sky of the outside world like at this moment?"

Jiang Ding whispered.

Before him, shattered divine souls of cultivators spread out, one scene after another flashed by, showing their entire lives, not just memories, but also traces left by Heaven and Earth Rules on them as they were born and grew, cause and effect, etc.

Various situations in the present Golden Era gradually became known to the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

Throughout this process, all causes and effects were natural; he did not interfere in the slightest. These cultivators fortunately completed their objectives because they were already lucky, not due to his meddling.

Thus, at the level of cause and effect, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor was ’invisible.’ If a target of the same level calculated him, there would be no entry point to find him.

As for the Undying Ancient Emperor, he was not of immediate concern.

The place where the Perishing Immortal Realm fell was very peculiar, with chaotic space and time. Although seemingly several million or tens of millions of kilometers apart, the real distance was unknown, incalculable. Without penetrating these spatial and temporal turbulent flows, the two sides could not truly meet.

"Living beings of the present call the Beidou Star Domain as the Beidou Ancient Realm..."

"Indeed, the battle to become an emperor has begun. The living beings of the present called it the Emperor Road. It’s been ongoing for a hundred million years, yet no Emperor or Great Emperor has been born because there are too many beings capable of interfering with the Original Ancient Talisman, and heaven and earth are vast, unlike our era where slaying a few to dozens of True Immortals was enough..."

"Many distant star domains have peerless elites whose locations cannot be calculated..."

"In the past hundred million years, several invincible beings in the world have already emerged, defeating all peerless elites within their range, but were unable to condense the Emperor Crown, all shattered by interference from distant star domains’ peerless elites..."

"This is a major obstacle of the Golden Era. No solution has been found. No one in heaven and earth has become an emperor..."

Jiang Ding silently read the memories within these cultivators’ divine souls, extracting many pieces of information that the Heaven and Earth Rules had left on them.

It can be said, much of this intelligence was unknown to these cultivators, but the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor could see it.

"Beidou Ancient Realm in decline..."

"External invasion..."

"Many Immortal Sect Holy Lands falling, Great Experts perishing, Great Sect Leaders fleeing..."

Jiang Ding took a quick glance at the Beidou Ancient Realm’s political situation and moved on without much attention. These pieces of information were of very low priority.

"No one in heaven and earth has become an emperor?"

"What a bunch of waste."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

What of the vastness of heaven and earth, the numerous dangers in the starry sky of the Golden Era, and the many natural forbidden lands, how difficult it is to become an emperor.

If a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor were to emerge, solving these problems would be effortless.

These younger generations of the Golden Era now seemed trivial, failing to resolve even such fundamental problems, which was rather disappointing and somewhat unworthy of the historic ancient emperors’ deification of the Golden Era.

"Let’s wait and see."

"The Golden Era holds many variables, and with a large number of heavenly pride and elite talents, the probability of giving birth to a genius is also very high. Theoretically, this problem will be solved, but who knows how long it will take..."

Jiang Ding silently deduced.

Moreover, if the elites of the present cannot solve these problems, someone from the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor’s domain will emerge.

In this regard, the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor had more patience and flexibility.

At least, he was confident he could outlast that old Undying Ancient Emperor, having no worries in this regard, since it’s not he who is in a hurry.

"Oh?"

"What a coincidence."

Jiang Ding was somewhat astonished.

He looked up towards the western endless starry sky, where a dazzling starlight was blooming, followed by a woman much like a Banished Immortal appearing amid the endless starry brilliance, stepping into the present starry sky, worshiped by countless living beings, with numerous great sects, holy lands, and immortal sect great powers vying to submit.

"Is this...the forbidden area of the Beidou Ancient Emperor?"

"This person is still alive?"

"Remarkable."

Jiang Ding carefully observed and admired.

The Beidou Ancient Emperor, a Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor from the Ancient Emperor Era, a major factor in the dark times of human extinction, had actually survived to the Golden Era.

He was the first to publicly announce his cause and effect coordinates in the endless starry sky, attracting the attention of many hidden Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors.

This immediately plunged him into a strategic disadvantage!

However, this was expected, this Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor was too old, his life energy nearly exhausted, perhaps at the brink of his limit, unable to continue lurking.
