542: Chapter 542 Prodigies Ascend to Heaven, Heroes Appear in the World
"Rumble!"
The various domain gates vibrated in unison, and the heaven and earth roared incessantly.
Brilliant rays of light sprayed out from within the gates, illuminating the entire starry sky outside the domains.
The stars moved in unison, as if pulled by some invisible force, slowly revolving along ancient trajectories.
At the end of that starry sky, a figure slowly emerged.
White clothes and white robes, unstained by a speck of dust.
His Face was handsome yet vacant, his eyes closed, and his entire body was shrouded in a faint halo, as if he had stood there since the beginning of creation, enduring ten thousand calamities without decaying.
Behind him, an illusory ancient path could be vaguely seen extending into the depths of endless Chaos, paved with Dao stars, each one silently rotating.
"It has appeared!"
"White clothes and white robes, like an Innate god, sacred and incomparable... That is the guide of the Emperors Path!"
"It is rumored that he was once a top Prodigy on the Emperors Path, but he remained there forever. Unwilling to dissipate, he became a guide, ushering in the Prodigies of all races!"
Some older beings were shocked, their voices trembling.
Everything matched; it was exactly the same as the scene of the Emperors Path opening described in ancient books.
The Emperors Path can only be entered by Sages and quasi-Emperors.
If the Realm is too low, entering means being smashed to pieces.
If the Realm is too high, the Emperors Path will naturally repel them, and it cannot be crossed.
This is the path for all races to achieve the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor, the path to heaven paved by the bones of countless Prodigies.
"Boom!!!"
In the Immortal Ruins forbidden zone of the Immortal Domain, darkness surged, and terrifying existences quietly awakened, silently merging into the starry sky.
Then, another terrifying aura rose from the depths of the Desolate Domain, breaking through the clouds and entering the starry sky.
That was an old Sage who had sealed himself for tens of thousands of years. Covered in the dust of time, he finally broke the seal and stepped into the starry sky in one stride.
"Hahaha, the Emperors Path has finally opened! This old man has waited for a full thirty-six thousand years!"
His laughter was desolate and tragic, and his figure disappeared into the domain gate.
Immediately after, the second, third, fourth... countless terrifying auras rose from all over the Desolate Domain, like Vicious Beasts that had slept for billions of years awakening one after another.
In the Far North Snow Domain, the ice layer of an ice Realm exploded, and an aged figure walked out, emitting quasi-Emperor level fluctuations that made the entire earth tremble.
Deep in the ten thousand mountains of Great Scarlet Heaven, an ancient tomb cracked open, and a withered palm reached out from the coffin, grabbing the Void Realm and dragging the entire coffin into the starry sky.
In an ancient temple in the Red Earth Western Domain, a golden Buddha statue opened its eyes, and two golden lights shot out from its pupils, piercing the firmament.
"Damn... The Five Domains and Two Heavens actually have such a foundation, with so many old immortals sleeping."
Qin Wushang frowned.
He even saw the Old Ancestor of the Desolate Domain Qin Clan ascending to heaven at this moment!
The number of Prodigies entering the Emperors Path from just the Five Domains and Two Heavens was more than ten times what he had imagined.
"That is natural... See that Emperor? That is from my Chu Clan!"
"However, their only ideal is to contend for the Emperors Path. In Great Chu, they have already fallen and will not care about any matters of Great Chu."
"If you meet them, you can also contend with them."
Chu Yuehua looked up, her gaze suddenly freezing.
In the direction of the Desolate Domain, a figure shot up into the sky.
The dragon robe fluttered, nine True Dragon phantoms coiled around his body, and the Imperial Might was vast, crushing the Void Realm until it crumbled inch by inch.
That was an Emperor who had been sealed for many years. At this moment, he finally appeared in the world, stepping and shattering the firmament, ascending to heaven without looking back, leaving only a back view that looked down on all living beings.
"He is a character! I didn't expect the Ancestral Shrine of the Chu Clan to have such a person."
Qin Wushang whispered.
"He is nothing! He is certainly not as good as you! But you must be careful of that monk! I have seen that monk from the Western Domain; he is terrifying!"
"Having cultivated so much Karma and consumed so much offering, his Buddha Dao golden body is probably something your Heavenly Evil blade cannot easily injure."
Chu Yuehua reminded him.
A golden Buddha was beating a wooden fish, chanting Buddhist sounds, and took many bald donkeys into the starry sky outside the domains.
And Qin Wushang also recognized one of the bald donkeys!
Dao Man!
He had met him in the Immortal Tomb before; he could be considered a Prodigy!
Now he belongs to the Buddhist son of the Red Earth Western Domain!
"The great era has opened, and now we really have to prepare to step into the sky."
"Revered Master! Take care!"
Qin Wushang whispered.
"Go!"
"When the ultimate battle of the Emperors Path arrives, and the existence of an Alternative Great Emperor is allowed to make a move, I will protect the path for you."
Chu Yuehua nodded.
By now, her strength could no longer enter the Emperors Path; she could only wait.
The ascension continued, and more and more powerful beings crossed the starry sky.
They had waited too long for this moment.
Some had sealed themselves for tens of thousands of years, some had slept for hundreds of thousands of years, and some had even been waiting since the last epoch.
If the Emperors Path did not open, they would rather rot in their coffins than claim hegemony in this small pond.
Now, the path is open.
Rays of divine rainbow pierced through heaven and earth, ancient domain gates were torn apart, and countless powerhouses walked through the air, rushing toward that vast starry sky.
Some roared, some whispered, some remained silent; the same flame burned in everyone's eyes.
The Emperors Path.
The path for all races to achieve the Heavenly Mandate Great Emperor.
This will be the beginning of a brand-new era.
Deep in the starry sky, the guide still kept his eyes closed, his white clothes fluttering, neither speaking nor moving, like an eternal sculpture, waiting for batch after batch of Prodigies to step onto the Emperors Path.
Qin Wushang left Emperor Mountain but did not cross the starry sky immediately.
Figures appeared beside him.
Ye Hongfu, Mu Bingyun, Lin Ziyao, Jiang Chengqiu... They arrived one by one.
"You didn't go back to Wuyou Realm?"
Qin Wushang looked at a woman holding a pig-slaughtering knife.
"I wanted to... but she said she couldn't go to that place easily, so naturally, she couldn't take me there. Then I thought about it and asked her to send me here to follow Ziyao."
Yao Shinian explained.
When Qin Wushang left the Desolate Master's Taoyuan Realm, she intended to ask the Desolate Master to send her back to Wuyou Realm to see her father.
But she was rejected by the Desolate Master, so she followed Lin Ziyao.
"She has been following me at the Lin Clan; she eats a bit too much."
Lin Ziyao said, her tone sounding a bit dissatisfied.
If it weren't for Qin Wushang's sake, she wouldn't raise such a glutton.
"Hehe!"
Yao Shinian smiled, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Qin Wushang did not care.
He said, "Before this, I need to go see Grandfather!"
"We will go together."
Mu Bingyun spoke, making a request, and the others also looked over and nodded in succession.
...
Desolate Domain, Yunmeng Qin Clan.
It remains the same here.
Since Qin Zhanzhou returned a few times, coupled with Qin Wushang's reputation, the development of the Qin Clan was also flourishing.
Qin Wushang's return did not disturb some Disciples with low strength.
He appeared directly in a courtyard.
In the courtyard, an old man was meditating, emitting the aura of the God King Realm.
That was Qin Lie.
Since pulling out the dao devouring scar in his body, Qin Lie's cultivation was completely abolished, and he re-cultivated, only then having today's changes.
"You're back?"
Qin Lie spoke, his tone calm, without opening his eyes.
"Is Grandfather hating me for not coming back to visit you?"
Qin Wushang appeared, with several women beside him.
The women looked at the meditating Qin Lie with interest. The other party did not get up, so they were not easy to make any moves.
"No."
"If you don't want to come back, then don't."
Qin Lie whispered.
Just as Qin Zhanzhou said, some things are broken once they are broken.
"The smell of Immortal Pill... It seems he has been here."
"No wonder the Qin Clan Old Ancestor would ascend to heaven."
Qin Wushang sniffed carefully and realized one thing.
Qin Wuchen had returned.
"Grandfather doesn't stand with anyone now. He gave me things, but I didn't take them."
"You should fight however you want to fight; I will never use morality to kidnap you again."
Qin Lie's emotions were unusually calm.
"Good!"
As the words fell, Qin Wushang's figure disappeared, and the women bowed to Qin Lie and also disappeared.
The Void Realm returned to calm, and Qin Lie slowly opened a pair of turbid eyes.
"Zhanzhou... Am I doing the right thing?"
"But... what else can I do?"
"Whether it is the Yunmeng Qin Clan or the Taihuang Qin Clan, once they get that kid's support, they won't consider Shang'er anymore..."
"He is still so stubborn. If he had come back to walk around more, why would those old guys be bought by that kid with small favors like Medicinal Pills and Cultivation Techniques!"
The Emperors Path is not just about competing for individuals, but also forces!
He thought Qin Wushang came back to fight for more support, but at this moment he was just a God King, having nothing, and could not help at all.
