Chapter 2641 - 2606: Only to Become Immortal

Beidou Emperor Venerable is named Cheng Guang, the lord of the Beidou Holy Land during the era of the First Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty, an Emperor Realm cultivator, known as the Beidou Emperor Venerable.

In this era, many Holy Lords of the Beidou Holy Land have been revived from the Time River, so this title gradually faded away, thus he himself and others mostly call him Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable, or simply Cheng Guang.

During the Golden Era, many Emperor Realm cultivators from the Beidou Holy Land emerged, many returned to Beidou Holy Land after obtaining permission or exchanging benefits with the rulers of the Forbidden Area.

Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable is an exception; he did not choose to return to the Beidou Holy Land.

Instead, he came here as the Beidou Domain ambassador of the Supreme Great Sun Domain, engaging in various diplomatic activities, economic and trade communication between the two domains, and mutual assistance in research cooperation, leveraging his identity as a successor of Beidou Holy Land which made his work very smooth. The exchanges between the Supreme Great Sun Domain and Beidou Domain brought substantial benefits to both sides.

"The All Heavens Beidou Dao Soldiers are about to be defeated, at most within two thousand years..."

"On the Beidou Path, there is a slight deficiency, yet its edge is extremely sharp, with many lessons to be learned..."

Many Emperor Realm cultivators and strong beings of the Beidou Holy Land are discussing.

Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable noticed that the number of Ancient Emperors in the Beidou Holy Land is as many as twenty-eight, far surpassing the Eight-character Immortal Scripture Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor, second only to the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor.

One must know, the Beidou Ancient Emperor, among the other emperors, is not well-known, yet silently recruited so many Ancient Emperors.

Once a momentum is created, the number of Ancient Emperors under his command is bound to surge, and this Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor does an excellent job in the unification work among the Ancient Emperors.

This might not be influenced by diplomatic and unification efforts.

Instead, it’s due to the universality, altruism of the Immortal Dao path, much like the Weak Water Immortal Dao System and the Time Sequence Immortal Dao System that have begun to appear within the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Path. These immortal industrial systems integrate into the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty, and both sides’ various immortal industrial production chains merge, deeply binding the benefits, all obtaining huge advantages.

Under the Beidou Ancient Emperor, Human Race Ancient Emperors account for only one-fourth, with more being various Alien Race Ancient Emperors; the situation is similar with Emperor Realm cultivators.

This is the myriad race equality Ancient Emperor deeply loathed by the Ancient Emperor of the Sun.

Among the surrounding emperors, the brilliance of the Beidou Great Dao shines down, stars orbiting around a majestic being. His hair and beard are all white, wearing a white robe embroidered with stars, exuding an extraordinary and ancient aura, with starlight flowing around him like the Cosmic Star River’s natural center.

This is the Beidou Ancient Emperor, one of the oldest emperors in the Golden Era.

No one has underestimated this Ancient Emperor, for in the path of the immortal, the old and powerful are of the same nature. A being that has endured such a long time cannot be weak, and definitely cannot have a single weakness; the long passage of time has already washed away any being with weaknesses.

This Ancient Emperor gazes deeply, watching the Star River, as if contemplating the universal Dao, not participating in the discussion among the emperors.

"Ancestor Master,"

"Disciple has something to say,"

Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable hesitated slightly, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.

Shua!

Numerous Ancient Emperors’ eyes looked over, falling on this Emperor Realm cultivator, not due to his cultivation base, but because of his identity. As the Beidou Domain ambassador of the Supreme Great Sun Domain, he represents the will of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor in many matters.

"Cheng Guang, speak if you have words to say."

"Do not be so restrained."

The gaze of the Beidou Ancient Emperor fell on this disciple from many years later, his voice gentle.

"Ancestor Master,"

"The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor bore the backbone for the Human Race, providing the world as it is now."

Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable bowed deeply, paying his respects: "Please, Ancestor Master, assist the Supreme Great Sun Domain. This matter benefits the Human Race, greatly benefits the Beidou Domain, and even more greatly benefits the senior and junior brothers."

"This is a matter of a thousand benefits and no harm, Ancestor Master!"

He spoke earnestly.

This was not just empty words, but an entire set of supporting data.

Amidst his words, Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable transmitted reports through his Divine Sense to the surrounding Emperor Realm cultivators and Ancient Emperors, and to the Beidou Ancient Emperor—economic, military, Immortal Dao research... the various exchanges between Beidou Domain and Supreme Great Sun Domain, the ever-growing trade amount, all undeniable facts.

Many Emperor Realm cultivators and Ancient Emperors revealed slight fluctuations in their gazes.

Through these exchanges, they have gained tremendous benefits. Even many special Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures needed by the Ancient Emperors can be obtained from the Supreme Great Sun Domain, allowing their Dao path to advance slightly, far surpassing the time when they were isolated.

Many are puzzled by this.

Given such enormous benefits, why are Beidou Ancient Emperor, Ancient Emperor of the Sun, Taiyin Ancient Emperor, and others unwilling to firmly stand on the side of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor?

If the four Human Race Eight-character Immortal Scripture Ancient Emperors united, together with the Heavenly Yuan Supreme Great Sun Demon Slaying Sword Formation, what force in the world could defeat the Human Race?

Such a prospect is yearning.

"This, cannot be done."

"Cheng Guang."

The voice of the Beidou Ancient Emperor remained gentle.

"Because..."

Before Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable could speak, the voice of the Beidou Ancient Emperor already descended again.

"Cheng Guang,"

"I have the ambition of achieving immortality."

The Beidou Ancient Emperor spoke kindly: "And the Supreme Great Sun fellow cultivator, is now too strong, which affects the path of many fellow cultivators. We have waited for countless years, have experienced all the world’s emotions and events, and can only relinquish the ambition of attaining immortality."

"What we want is not victory, but to become immortal."

"And in the Golden Era, at most one person has the possibility of becoming immortal. Even if one person devours all the paths, becoming immortal is not guaranteed, it’s just a possibility."

"Thus, Cheng Guang, do you understand now?"

"If the Supreme Great Sun fellow cultivator dimmed his light and dust, lowering his chance of immortality a bit, then I and the fellow cultivators would form an unbreakable alliance."

"The Supreme Great Sun fellow cultivator is too strong; having any one person this strong makes us uneasy."

"Aside from this, the Beidou Domain legacy cannot be abandoned, and the Supreme Great Sun Domain cannot cross the Great Array to aid us, which is another minor reason, though somewhat insignificant."

The few words, like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, reveal the current truth of the endless starry sky’s situation.

"Ancestor Master..."

Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable opened his mouth, unable to speak.

"Little Cheng Guang,"

"Go and tell the Supreme Great Sun fellow cultivator, we will participate in the battle, the Human Race Alliance exists, but all this needs to wait until the Supreme Great Sun Domain is breached, the Heavenly Yuan Supreme Great Sun Demon Slaying Sword Formation is breached, and many starry sky territories are lost... Tell the Supreme Great Sun fellow cultivator, we will not watch his death idly."

"Anything more, we are powerless to do."

The Beidou Ancient Emperor said faintly.

Cheng Guang Emperor Venerable spoke warmly, with a heavy heart, thoroughly losing hope of persuading the other side.

Almost at the same time, other Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors of the Human Race also gave similar responses, formally rejecting the request of the Supreme Great Sun Domain’s ambassador on paper.
