Consuming the world's origin didn't require any guidance; it was purely intuitive. Chen Yuan calmed his mind and exhaled a long breath of stale air.

He sat cross-legged directly before the origin, his body's hundreds of acupoints open, and his inner world expanded, an invisible suction force emanating from within.

Visibly, wisps of the origin's power converged upon Chen Yuan, merging into his world....

The Sixth Realm is divided into three steps, similar to Human Immortals and Earth Immortals. Once one comprehends the rules, specifically the Five Elements rules, the rest is a matter of following a set path.

Like Chen Yuan now, his rule power had transformed into law power. His primordial spirit and physical body were completely integrated. All he needed was to continuously find power to absorb.

His law power would rapidly increase, and his inner world would gradually expand.

This was the cultivation of the "Unity" Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Simple and unadorned.

However, this cultivation method, seemingly simple, was not easy. Like the Burning Sky Demon Emperor and the Divine Vine Elder, why had they been stuck in the mid-stage of the Demon Emperor Realm for thousands of years?

Because their accumulation was too slow.

They could only draw power from the world to fill their inner world.

If they could obtain such a massive amount of the world's origin, with their years of cultivation, they would have reached the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm long ago.

Therefore, Chen Yuan's opportunity this time was enormous!

It completely surpassed any opportunity he had encountered before.

Chen Yuan also cherished this opportunity, or rather, this chance. The extraterrestrial demons were watching closely, and existences above the Sixth Realm were observing everything, which filled him with a sense of crisis.

Right now... only by constantly strengthening his own power could he have a chance of survival.

Even, it could be said that he was not just increasing his cultivation, but also his chances of surviving in the future.

The origin was like a great sun, illuminating everything, supremely magnificent. Chen Yuan appeared very small before it. But if one observed for a long time, they would notice.

The aura of the tiny Chen Yuan gradually climbed, while the radiance of the supreme origin sun gradually faded.

......

......

The twenty-sixth year of the Great Yan's Shengwu era, autumn, November 16th.

In the blink of an eye, sixteen years had passed. Since the end of the battle in the extraterrestrial starry sky, the entire human realm had rapidly entered a true golden age, known by countless people as the Reign of Shengwu.

For the common people, the court reduced taxes, cracked down on powerful landlords who annexed land, and established Tongwen Halls, led by court Confucian scholars, throughout the Central Plains, providing farm children with opportunities to study.

In addition, there were also Jiangwu Halls, giving farm children with exceptional talent a chance to embark on the path of martial arts.

Although the Tongwen Halls and Jiangwu Halls taught only superficial things, this undoubtedly gave ordinary disciples a chance to change their fate and was hailed as benevolent governance.

The Shengwu Long Fist and Shengwu Xue Jing, compiled by the court, had become the foundation for martial arts foundation building and literary studies.

In the Jianghu, the court changed the once-a-decade Ascending Immortal Platform to a trial every three years, selecting martial arts geniuses from across the land. As long as they could enter the top fifty, regardless of their origin or location, as long as they were loyal to the court and to the human race, they could enter the Immortal Realm to cultivate, receive guidance from immortals, with the court bearing all the resources and providing for their cultivation.

As soon as this imperial decree was issued, unsurprisingly, it stirred up an earth-shattering shock in the Jianghu and even the entire world. Emperor Shengwu Chen Yuan, who had already been elevated to the altar.

His reputation had reached an unprecedented height.

These matters were not decided by Su Ziyue and the others, but were all orchestrated and planned by Chen Yuan.

He cultivated underground, devouring the origin of the world, but was not unable to emerge. He was not in secluded cultivation, and he could wake up at any time, or rather, suppress his rapidly increasing cultivation.

During that long period of cultivation, Chen Yuan thought about the future of the world.

Leaving aside the power of the extraterrestrial demons, if he was fortunate enough to win in the future, then... what about the future?

The resources of the world were always limited, and when they were divided up, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among most people. Even if his strength could suppress everything, if he put all his mind on this,

Wouldn't that be too narrow-minded?

How could he talk about longevity?

Therefore, after thinking it over, Chen Yuan finally confirmed his previous idea and set a goal, which was to conquer the extraterrestrial star sea and endless worlds. He told Moro and the others this idea.

Unsurprisingly, he received everyone's support.

If so, then he had to start preparing from scratch.

As much as possible, dissolve the so-called sectarian differences, search for martial arts seeds throughout the world, provide resources, cultivate loyalty, and let them become the pillars of the court in the future.

Chen Yuan had always firmly believed that among the vast number of ordinary people, there must be martial arts seeds like Jiang He, but they were all buried.

He was willing to be the one to discover these seeds.

He would send the seeds to the Immortal Realm to cultivate in the yuanqi-rich Immortal Realm, and let those idle immortals take the time to teach them and lay a solid foundation.

Facts proved that Chen Yuan's choice was not wrong.

Except for the first Ascending Immortal Battle, where the children of poor families only got one spot, the number of spots for children from the Jiangwu Halls was steadily increasing in the subsequent written tests.

And this, was also called leaping over the dragon gate by countless people.

Leaping over the dragon gate, wealth was within reach.

This was a real opportunity to change one's fate, not only for the children of poor families, but also for the children of martial arts families and immortal sects.

After all, there were only a few immortals in the human realm, and they rarely showed themselves. Without guidance, one could receive personal guidance from immortals by entering the Immortal Realm.

Who could refuse such temptation?

And the reason why the few immortals in the human realm had a low presence was entirely due to Chen Yuan's decree, in order to prevent them from disrupting his future plans.

Old Celestial Master, Ancestor Su Ming, Divine Vine Elder, Lu Chengfeng and others were all to enter the Immortal Realm to cultivate. Unless there were important matters, they could not freely enter or leave the Immortal Realm. Moro was originally not restricted.

But he eventually took the lead in agreeing to this matter.

The only ones who could have absolute freedom were Duke Jiang He and the East Sea King Ye Xiangnan.

This was not Chen Yuan killing the donkey after it had served its purpose, but it had to be done this way. After all, he had not treated them unfairly. Compared with the human realm, the resources in the Immortal Realm were top-notch.

There could also be many fellow daoists to communicate with.

Who wouldn't like it?

At least none of them objected and gladly accepted the decree.

Compared to those immortals trapped in the Longevity Platform, they were actually very free.

Like those immortals, they were directly ordered not to leave the Immortal Realm without an imperial decree.

And Moro and the others could still go out if something really happened, but it was best not to cause too much trouble.

Sending most of the immortals into the Immortal Realm was only the first step.

The second step was those Yang God True Monarchs.

Chen Yuan was never stingy with the True Monarchs who had hope of breaking through to the Sixth Realm. True Persons Tianxu, Lingxu, Zhao Danqing, and Chu Changfeng could enter the Immortal Realm to cultivate as long as they were willing.

Before the arrival of the unknown war, it was good to have one more immortal.

Therefore, a very strange scene could be seen. In the human realm's thriving age of martial arts, those powerful True Monarchs and immortals were gradually disappearing.

....

Shenjing City, Purple Mountain.

In order to show the court's majesty and make it more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the Ascending Immortal Platform in Martial Emperor City was rarely used. Instead, the Ascending Immortal Battle was held more often in the territory outside the capital.

The talents on the Potential Dragon List could all go on stage to fight.

Those who could persist to the end and be in the top fifty could enter the Immortal Realm.

On this day, many people and martial artists gathered near Purple Mountain. With the Ascending Immortal Battle being held time and time again, this place had also become a small city that gathered people.

Even when the Ascending Immortal Battle was not open, it was still a place for many martial artists to make a name for themselves.

Powerful families and meritorious civil and military officials often recruited sons-in-law here, providing resources for cultivation. There was a very obvious example before. During the first competition.

The first poor family child who emerged, after becoming the son-in-law of a certain family, showed extremely strong talent. Now, even in the Immortal Realm, he had made a considerable name for himself.

He had worshiped an immortal as his master, and his future was limitless.

The people in the human realm did not know the details of the immortals above, and only felt that they were all high and mighty existences. The family who recruited the son-in-law became the envy of everyone.

They had climbed the ladder...

If that son-in-law had even greater achievements in the future, wouldn't their family rise to even greater glory?

This day was also the day when the Ascending Immortal Battle began.

In the crowd, even though the two figures were dressed in ordinary clothes, they still gave people a sense of extraordinary bearing, and people couldn't help but distance themselves from them.

It should be known that this was the foot of the capital city.

There were countless powerful families, meritorious officials, and disciples of immortal sects.

No one knew what misfortune a careless word or a glance could bring to them. Unless they were really out of their minds, most people were still very cautious.

"Sister, three years ago you overwhelmed the heroes and won first place in the Ascending Immortal Battle, known as the First Fairy of the Capital. Do you think... if I go up and take first place, will I be called the First Young Master of the Capital?"

The man in the green robe looked slightly immature, but his eyes were bright and energetic. Looking at the competition on the high platform, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, showing strong confidence.

The beautiful figure, referred to as sister, glared back at the man next to her with a pout, her eyes full of cleverness:

"You don't need to win first place, you are already the First Young Master of the human world."

Others didn't know who this kid was, but she had watched him grow up since he was a child and had traveled the Jianghu with him for three years. She could be said to know him inside and out.

If it spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Because this person was the eldest son of the Human Emperor, Chen Sheng, who was established as the crown prince from the day he was born!

As for her, she was none other than the unique daughter of Jiang He, the Duke of Guo and commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jiang Xue!

"That's all thanks to my father's reputation, it's boring. I don't want to be someone who is said to be relying on his legacy, otherwise, I wouldn't have sneaked out of the palace to travel the Jianghu.

I just want to create a world of my own by relying on myself.

What my father can do, I can do too!" Chen Sheng said lightly.

Jiang Xue curled her lips, saying "yes, yes, yes" on her mouth.

Her eyes inadvertently glanced at a figure not far away.

They were the court's guards.

As the prince of the Great Yan, second only to the emperor and empress in status, Chen Sheng seemed to be traveling the Jianghu, but in reality, the court had already secretly cleared the way. There were even two Yang God True Monarchs protecting him.

And Jiang Xue also had a sword qi from Jiang He in her hand, which even an immortal could not withstand.

It could be completely called an unannounced visit.

It was just that Chen Sheng didn't know.

If he wanted to play, then she would accompany him.

Anyway, that was what she wanted, and also... as the daughter-in-law personally approved by Emperor Shengwu, she had to keep an eye on this kid Chen Sheng and not let him cause any trouble.

"Boring..." Seeing Jiang Xue's appearance, Chen Sheng sighed.

"What's interesting?"

Jiang Xue asked back.

Chen Sheng's eyes wandered over Jiang Xue's body, and his face suddenly turned red inadvertently. He coughed lightly twice:

"N-nothing."

"Also, you can't call me sister in the future."

"Why?"

"There's no why, it's just not allowed."

Jiang Xue scolded.

"Okay, I understand, sister..."

"Are you looking for a beating?"

"Hehe..." Chen Sheng dodged Jiang Xue's attack. Then, he took a deep breath, watched the battle on the high platform end, and before others could go on stage, he suddenly jumped up.

Walking in the air to the high platform, facing the bottom, Chen Sheng said loudly:

"Chen Potian, a native of Nanling, Qingzhou, is here today to learn from everyone's high skills. Which fellow Daoist will come forward to fight?!"

"It's him?"

"Third on the Potential Dragon List, Chen Potian, who has never been defeated in a hundred battles!"

"Tsk, to meet such a figure on the first day, today wasn't a wasted trip."

"I heard that this Chen Potian has a background that reaches the sky, is that right?"

"It seems so, in Shuzhou a year ago..."

"Zuo Lingkong of Wudang, is here to learn from Brother Chen!"

"Hiss, it's Zuo Lingkong, second on the Potential Dragon List, and the leader of this generation's Seven Sons!"

"He is the adopted son of Zuo Chengzong, the current head of Wudang."

"Wei Qing of the Heavenly Demon Palace, please."

At the right time, a young man, holding a long halberd, stepped onto the high platform. Making the surrounding atmosphere fall into solidification.

"This... what's going on, even the first on the Potential Dragon List has come."

"Good guy, this is Wei Wuye's only son, the current palace master of the Heavenly Demon Palace."

"This Chen Potian's face is really big."

"There's a good show to watch."

Chen Sheng's eyes were calm, he looked around at the two, thinking of his father's Ascending Immortal Battle decades ago, he hooked a light smile at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly:

"The two of you... come at me together!"

"Arrogant!"

"I'm just afraid you can't hold on!"

A great battle was about to break out.

.....

And at this time, in the depths of the earth, before the origin of the world, Chen Yuan, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, the aura around his body was complete and leak-proof, and his eyes were without sorrow or joy.

After more than ten years of closed-door cultivation, today... he enters the peak stage!
