After Gu Changsheng and Yao Xian departed, they traveled through the Tai Xu Realm, visiting famous historical sites and so-called forbidden life zones. This journey lasted for two hundred years.
Two hundred years is an unattainable number for mortals, but for powerful cultivators, it's merely a short nap.
Danqing Great World, Supreme Universe!
At this moment, the Old Supreme and others gathered in a grand hall.
"The rebels' strength has increased," the Old Supreme said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the others nodded slightly, their expressions grave.
"Holding a meeting without me?"
Suddenly, a golden figure burst into the hall, causing the Old Supreme and the others to reveal surprised expressions.
"Weren't you in secluded cultivation, healing your injuries?" the Old Supreme asked.
The newcomer was none other than the Golden Ancient Emperor.
The Golden Ancient Emperor chuckled and said, "Just a minor injury. A few immortal pills will do the trick."
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this. An injury that required several immortal pills to heal was considered minor?
One must know that an immortal pill could revive a True Immortal, and even though its effect on an Immortal King would be greatly reduced, a few immortal pills would be enough to fully restore a dying Immortal King.
"What are you all looking at? You have to know that I was ambushed by five Immortal Kings to sustain this injury. If they dared to fight me fair and square, I could suppress them with a flick of my hand."
The Golden Ancient Emperor said disdainfully.
"You can tell that to the celestial maids outside. We all know each other well, so don't try to boast," Old Wang said.
The others nodded in agreement. They would believe that the Golden Ancient Emperor could win against five opponents, but they wouldn't believe he could suppress them with a flick of his hand.
Those cultivators who slowly grinded their way to True Immortals through time, they are confident that they could take down ten unlucky ones with their lives on the line, but once they reached Immortal King, it wasn't something that could be achieved by simply grinding through time. Talent and opportunity were indispensable.
The further one goes, the smaller the gap in talent becomes. Suppressing someone with a flick of the hand becomes even more impossible.
Of course, there were exceptions.
For example, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, or the Desolate Ancient Great Emperor, and those peerless geniuses who appeared in this era of the mortal realm, who moved even them.
As for the "celestial maids" Old Wang mentioned, they were the maids who helped them with their daily lives, each as beautiful as a celestial being. That's why Old Wang told the Golden Ancient Emperor to boast to them.
"Have you fought them? Do you know their origins?" the Old Supreme asked.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Ancient Emperor frowned and said, "The aura on the five of them doesn't belong to the Danqing Great World. In fact, their auras are not even the same. It's as if each of them comes from a different world."
About twenty years ago, turmoil broke out again on the edge of the Danqing Great World, and this time, according to intelligence, there were figures of Immortal Kings. So, the Golden Ancient Emperor personally went to suppress the rebellion.
But when the Golden Ancient Emperor arrived, he discovered it was a trap, a trap designed for him.
Five Immortal Kings set up an unparalleled formation to trap him inside, and then joined forces to ambush him. If the Golden Ancient Emperor wasn't powerful, an ordinary Immortal King would have fallen in this shocking ambush.
The Golden Ancient Emperor fought against five opponents, sensing different Daos and Laws from them. However, the situation was urgent at the time, and he didn't have time to think about it. He broke through a corner of the formation at the cost of serious injuries and quickly left. After returning to the Supreme Universe, he took a few immortal pills and recuperated for more than ten years before recovering.
Now that he thought about it, the Golden Ancient Emperor knew that they came from different worlds based on their auras and different Laws.
The Old Supreme and the others looked even more grave after hearing this.
The sudden appearance of enemies had almost nullified their efforts over the past two hundred years.
"Everyone, given the current situation, it seems we have no choice but to make a breakthrough," the Old Supreme said, looking at the others.
When they celebrated Gu Youxian's 500,000th birthday two hundred years ago, they entrusted the sentiments they wanted to convey to Gu Changsheng to Gu Youxian. From the moment Gu Youxian accepted their gifts, their states of mind had already sublimated.
In these two hundred years, they could have already taken that step, but they all seemed to have a tacit understanding. If others didn't break through, they wouldn't either, as if they were waiting for others.
But now that unknown enemies had appeared, their current True Immortal cultivation was a bit stretched. If they didn't break through, they probably wouldn't be able to participate in the upcoming battles.
If it were anything else, it would be fine, but not being able to participate in battles was more uncomfortable for them than not being able to break through.
Which one of them hadn't reached where they were now step by step through battles?
One must know that fighting is addictive, especially after tasting the sweetness of winning, it's even more unforgettable.
At this moment, the Golden Ancient Emperor said, "I wonder if you've all met the leader's disciple, Li Beifei? You're all learning from him, able to break through but not breaking through, and then suddenly breaking through when fighting the enemy, giving them a head-on blow."
"Oh, you make a good point!" The Old Supreme's eyes suddenly lit up.
After hearing the Golden Ancient Emperor mention Li Beifei, the others couldn't help but recall his style of action. If he could be a sneaky character, he would never be a leader; if he could hide his strength, he would never exert an extra bit of effort; if he could win by lying down, he would never move a muscle.
"Since those enemies are in the dark and we are in the light, why don't we switch it around and make them think we are really just True Immortals, and then when the battle begins, we will immediately sublimate to the extreme and suppress them!"
Old Wang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, like an old fox that had lived for countless years.
"I think Old Wang is right. After all, we don't even know who the enemy is yet, so it's better to hide our strength first."
"Yes, we used to be the protagonists of an era, singing all the way and being extremely powerful. Now, occasionally playing the fool and preying on the wise seems like a good experience."
"That's right, experiencing the myriad aspects of life is also a form of cultivation."
The others all expressed their agreement.
"Damn it, aren't you guys too shameless?" The Golden Ancient Emperor stared wide-eyed at these people who had once ruled an era, but now he felt that the smiles on their faces were as wretched as could be.
"Old Huang, you're just too high-profile, that's why you were schemed against. Look at us, we're so low-key that they won't scheme against us," Old Wang said earnestly to the Golden Ancient Emperor.
"Old Wang is right, Old Huang, you've only been here for two hundred years. Who in the Danqing Great World doesn't know that your leader is His Majesty the Holy Emperor?"
"I'm just stating the facts," the Golden Ancient Emperor said smugly.
"That's why you were schemed against," the others laughed.
The Holy Emperor's subordinate, with such a high status, it would be strange if he wasn't schemed against.
"Report!"
At this moment, an urgent voice came from outside the hall.
"Holy Grandson, is trapped in Fu Xi Universe!"
"Boom!"
As soon as the words fell, one powerful aura after another erupted from the hall, each no weaker than an Immortal King.
At this moment, the Old Supreme and the others didn't think much about it and immediately broke through their cultivation. Powerful Immortal King auras filled this sky.
