# Chapter 1574: The Immortal Path Opens
The Big Dipper Star Domain seemed to have undergone a great explosion, erupting from a single pole, causing many stars to fall and turn into powder!
Brilliant light shone, dazzling radiance danced, this universe was terrifying beyond measure, various sage auras surged, roars and exclamations rose and fell one after another.
The Big Dipper Star Domain underwent a shocking great change. Outside the Ancient Forbidden Land, that great crack had burst open, instantly expanding to over ten thousand zhang in length, directly plunging into the forbidden zone.
A terrifying light shot up into the sky, the world-suppressing divine power originated precisely from here, extremely dazzling, the Immortal Path was about to appear, this place was shattering.
"The Immortal Path is about to appear, truly going to manifest in this world in this era!"
"Heaven's Gate is wide open, the Immortal Domain is about to appear, the ultimate ancient path awaited for millions of years is about to span two realms!"
This was like an ancient incantation, resounding through heaven and earth, and like a sacrificial chant, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, vast and mighty, divine sounds piercing the ears.
The star domain was about to collapse!
The only comforting thing was that this life-bearing land of Big Dipper was extremely sturdy, protected by Great Emperor formations, suppressed by many ancient supremes, and could not crack apart.
Otherwise, without these formations and forbidden zone masters, it would inevitably shatter like many stars outside the domain, turning into cosmic dust.
Although light here pierced the sky, the place itself remained motionless, showing no signs of destruction.
"Bang!"
The Immortal Path exploded, a corpse fell down, shaking people's hearts. It was either an Ancient Emperor or an Ancient Heavenly Venerable, their attire too ancient, but then they immediately dissolved into the Dao, becoming one of the sky-piercing lights.
This was a great calamity of heaven and earth. When some sages rushed toward the Big Dipper Star Domain, they were carelessly swept by the exploding world-suppressing divine power and turned into bloody mud on the spot, unable to resist at all.
"It won't be too long before it explodes. The Immortal Path is about to appear. The ancient supremes are about to take their positions!"
"Perhaps within the next few days!"
People's predictions of the time were excessive, because soon another great collapse occurred, various immortal lights dancing. Half a charred black body fell, turning into pus and blood, becoming flying ash.
The reappearance of an Emperor corpse also triggered chaos, making the great crack vast to the extreme, from which came roars, as if living beings were howling.
"It's a true dragon, a true dragon! I seem to see a dragon passing through the sky!"
"No, that's Xue Yueqing, the former Demon Emperor, who almost fought his way in, but unfortunately he ultimately fell. This is his lingering thought!"
On this day, the Big Dipper Star Domain was all shaken, numerous powerful beings all made their final preparations.
People did not rush toward the Ancient Forbidden Land, but instead soared into the sky, fleeing to the outer domain, because they knew the ancient supremes might be about to move, and they had to make way for them.
Some whose lifespans were nearly exhausted remained in Big Dipper, because they had little life left, truly at their limit, unable to withstand the torment, and might dissolve into the Dao during the flight to the outer domain!
Everyone else rushed toward nearby star domains, fleeing as far as possible, quietly waiting for that moment to come.
"Boom!"
The Immortal Path was collapsing, clouds and mist churning, white as light gauze, extremely peaceful. Just one breath would refresh the spirit and quickly plunge one into a state of enlightenment.
"True immortal energy! It can nourish one's primordial spirit and physical body, and will likely have an effect even on Quasi-Emperor level beings!"
People were shocked. Many old cultivators dragged their decaying bodies forward, desperately absorbing it, and actually gained a trace of spirit and energy, their condition much better than before.
This naturally caused a sensation. Some among those fleeing rushed back again, truly unwilling to miss out. This was heaven-defying immortal energy; one breath could significantly improve one's life state.
With a rumble!
The stars trembled wildly, Arctic immortal light danced everywhere like a grand fireworks display, nourishing who knows how many people. This was a sign that the immortal gate was about to open.
Amid cracking sounds, faint and indistinct phantom shadows appeared, standing in the darkness of the great crack, immortal amid chaos, towering and majestic.
Were those buildings of the Immortal Realm? Too magnificent, they were reflected through the world barrier, blurry outlines visible.
With a buzzing rumble, the great crack collapsed!
Tiles and bricks actually flew out, wrapped in immortal energy, carrying immortal power. Faintly, people heard the cry of an immortal phoenix, and through a gap saw a lush great wilderness of the Immortal Realm.
However, the dark clouds turned, covering everything again, all blocked on the other side.
"It has appeared, this is the day!"
An ancient supreme in a Forbidden Zone of Life roared, shaking the stars outside the domain until they rustled, some small stars directly falling, too terrifying and unparalleled.
"Boom!"
Heaven shattered, earth cracked, the great crack of the Immortal Domain released dazzling light. Scattered stones, withered wood, tiles and bricks splashed together, then turned to flying ash. Deep within, the chaotic energy was shaken apart, revealing a huge majestic pass.
It was not built from stone, but entirely condensed from laws. Many Great Sages and sect founders standing before the crack would tremble, unable to stand at all.
Except for old cultivators who truly could not move, everyone else fled. The Immortal Path had appeared, at the correct time, at the correct location, awaited by people!
"Waited for ten thousand ages, finally appeared!"
This was the ancient supreme's hoarse voice, containing so much bitterness and helplessness. Having waited for endless years, paid irreparable costs, finally seeing this era.
"Ooh roar..."
From the Immortal Path came the roar of living beings, shaking the Eastern Wasteland. At the same time, a small red bird flew out from within that majestic pass, circling there, blazing fire overwhelming the sky.
"It's a Vermilion Bird, a creature belonging to the Immortal Domain!"
Old cultivators who could no longer move shouted, tears filling their eyes. Having seen an immortal spirit, they felt they could die without regret!
"Roar..." Another great roar, a snow-white giant tiger appeared, like carved from white jade, emitting overwhelming pressure, shaking this Eastern Wasteland land.
"Another immortal spirit, another creature from the Immortal Realm descending to the lower realm!"
Some old cultivators could not wait until that moment, dissolving into the Dao amid tears, becoming light rain, flying toward that great crack.
"Even if I die immediately, I have no regrets. I have witnessed the opening of the Immortal Path!"
The appearance of two immortal spirits caused many of these elderly with little life left to directly turn into light rain, becoming part of the heavenly Dao rules, returning to the natural Dao.
"These are not immortal spirits!" Suddenly someone shouted.
"They are merely laws of the Immortal Domain. The immortal gate is tightly shut, not yet open. These are laws interweaving, guarding this huge gate, preventing people from approaching."
Unfortunately for those old cultivators just now, they died believing they had seen creatures of the Immortal Domain. But this was fine; they found release in a state of satisfaction.
"Dang..."
When a great bell rang slowly, heaven and earth trembled. It came from the depths of the universe, an immortal rule tearing through, piercing toward the great crack of the Immortal Path.
Boom!
At the same time, from beneath the Eastern Wasteland earth, an ancient pagoda flew out, suppressing downward, causing this place to shatter, and then it quickly disappeared.
"At this moment, the correct time, the correct location have appeared. The Immortal Path will open wide. Kill your way in!"
An ancient supreme roared, causing the stars of the heavens to tremble, many great stars shattering. At this moment, in every Forbidden Zone of Life, light shot into the sky, ancient emperor and Great Emperor aura filled the air, bursting forth!
The shocking change had begun, this era's splendor appearing here!
Amid rumbling sounds, laws danced, heaven and earth trembled. Immortal sounds from every forbidden zone were unending, various Dharma appearances shocked the mortal world. Huge figures extended to the outer domain, each figure a primordial universe, a supreme Dao!
The ancient supremes appeared, repairing their Dao fruits, restoring their combat power to the absolute peak, to wage the ultimate battle, fighting into the Immortal Domain.
Restoring to the glorious peak of the past required paying a heavy price, easily leading to death, with limited times. And once this state was activated, it was difficult to seal oneself again!
This meant that if they successfully broke into the Immortal Domain this era, so be it. If they unfortunately failed, then they would almost all sit in meditation and pass away, no longer able to resist the power of time!
The supreme from the Immortal Mound moved first. An ancient war chariot drove out. This time he sat cross-legged on the ancient war chariot, using the chariot to travel instead of walking.
Chaos myriad Daos submerged that place. Vaguely, one could see he was a humanoid creature, but exactly what race was unclear. He wore a purple-gold crown, a Daoist robe, his true face unclear, gray-brown hair strands scattered over his chest and back. In his eyes were scenes of sun, moon, and stars being destroyed.
This seemed to be a Daoist, making people suspect he might be an Ancient Heavenly Venerable from the mythological era!
He sat cross-legged on the ancient war chariot, an immortal sword lying horizontally across his knees, with unparalleled aura startling the Nine Heavens. In almost an instant, the chariot arrived before the Immortal Path.
Perhaps the chariot was unnecessary, but this was the dignity of a Great Emperor-level expert. They might fail, they might die in battle, but they wanted to end in glory.
On the other side, from the Immortal Mountain, energy surged to the sky. A supreme being covered entirely in black armor appeared, mist shrouding him, terrifying overwhelming.
He rode a huge divine tiger. This tiger was covered in scales all over, not fur, flashing with terrifying metallic luster, its ferocious aura overwhelming the sky.
In the Immortal Mountain supreme's hand, he held a large halberd, pitch black and grim, able to crack the heavens, capable of shattering billions of stars. This was a halberd forged from Dragon Pattern Black Gold, the blade edge snow-white and bright, terrifying shaking the world. This was definitely an Imperial Artifact!
This supreme also emerged, holding the large halberd, riding the huge divine tiger, immortal light exploding, directly arriving before the Southern Domain's Ancient Forbidden Land.
In just this instant, two ancient supremes appeared, too shocking. Even those outside the domain, watching through various ancient array platforms, many Great Sages and sect founder-level figures were chilled from head to toe. Too powerful. If compared to those two Emperors, they were not even ants!
"True Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors!" People trembled in fear.
"Ooh roar!"
In the Northern Domain, from the Primordial Ancient Mine, immortal light danced, the Milky Way cascaded down, vast and boundless, making that place magnificent, shocking ten thousand ages.
A Qilin emerged, huge beyond measure. It was who knows how many tens of thousands of li long, spanning heaven and earth, shattering all things! Its entire body was covered in dense scales, like forged from immortal metal, flashing blue-purple light.
It stepped directly out from the Primordial Ancient Mine, reigning over the universe, overawing the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, as if it could instantly collapse three thousand great worlds!
This was a supreme living being, no different from the Qilin of the Immortal Domain. From its skull, a beam of light shot to the sky. That was its fruition, proving it was once an imperial supreme.
With a great roar, the Immortal Path opened. Ancient supremes appeared one after another. The greatest change began. Requesting monthly votes. During the double period, the beginning of the month is very important, and Shrouding the Heavens has reached its final concluding stage. Please, everyone Great Emperors, give more enthusiasm and support. I will certainly strive to write the later parts well in return!

# Chapter 1575: Ancient Emperor Not Dead
The huge Qilin, tens of thousands of li long, rushed out of the Primordial Ancient Mine, spanning the Northern Domain's sky, shocking!
It had the head of an ancestral dragon, its body covered in blue-purple scales, flashing cold metallic luster. On its skull appeared one talisman after another, beams of light reaching the sky, tearing the universe. After millions of years, an imperial supreme once again reigned over this world.
"Staff, come!"
From its mouth came these two words, shocking. The entire Eastern Wasteland earth trembled three times. It overawed the Three Realms and Six Paths, energy surging to the sky, the world unique and self-reliant!
With a rumble, a dazzling blue light flew from outside the domain, crossing the dark universe, piercing the boundless cold star domain, directly descending toward the Big Dipper Star Domain.
"What is that?!"
Everyone was shocked. With just a light shout, it summoned a weapon of extreme power, fully reviving at this moment, emanating the supreme majesty of an Ancient Emperor.
It was blue and dazzling, crystal clear and brilliant, emitting eternal radiance, illuminating the entire Eastern Wasteland earth, rapidly descending toward the Northern Domain. Divine might surged for hundreds of millions of li.
This was a truly revived Emperor-level weapon. Every wisp of pressure made Great Sages tremble. No matter how far away, it made domain sect founders unable to help but kneel. Too terrifying.
Wisps of blue light burst forth, causing the sun, moon, and all heavenly stars to dim. They could not compare to this weapon at all. Before it, they had no radiance to speak of.
"It is... the Qilin Staff!" Someone shockingly uttered these words, their body shaking.
"That is the Ancient Emperor weapon of the Fire Qilin Cave. Who would have thought it flew back!" Everyone showed expressions of disbelief.
The Qilin Staff was the supreme divine weapon of a great ancient imperial clan, known throughout the world. It had disappeared for a period. When attacking the Eternal Star Domain, it was suppressed by the Dao Yan lineage using the Immortal Robe and Ancient Emperor formation, not having time to revive, which also led to the fall of the Fire Qilin Cave's Great Sage Yan Qi, and the ancient imperial prince Huo Qizi fleeing to the cosmic border wasteland, whereabouts unknown to this day.
However, many years ago, the Qilin Staff had already returned. No one dared to suppress it for long, not even the same-level Dao Yan Immortal Robe!
Because once the Qilin Staff, this supreme divine weapon, revived on its own, it would produce the most terrifying Imperial Artifact war, and one would inevitably shatter. That was an unbearable consequence.
Many years ago, it had already returned to the Fire Qilin Cave. But since the Immortal Path was about to open, the clan took it away, heading to the outer domain. Now it was summoned back by the power of the Primordial Ancient Mine.
At this point, things were clear. The ancient supreme within the tens of thousands of li long blue-purple light mass was the Qilin Ancient Emperor!
Everyone was shocked, all unable to believe this fact. It surpassed worldly cognition.
"How is it possible? The Qilin Ancient Emperor is still alive? It has been millions of years. Even if he became an imperial expert, he couldn't live until now!"
"How did he do it? Didn't the ancient Great Emperors all sit in meditation and pass away? He actually lived for millions of years, breaking common sense!"
...
The whole world was shocked!
Who knows how many people were watching, mouths wide open, then causing a wave of exclamations. Too unreal, making many's scalps tingle.
Of course, this was limited to ordinary cultivators. Great Sage-level figures, domain-shaking sect founders, etc., all had psychological preparation. By now, various signs indicated that the Forbidden Zones of Life must contain beings of this level or even such people!
The Qilin Ancient Emperor had emerged. He was still alive!
This news shook Big Dipper, spread throughout the world, and then rapidly spread to the depths of the universe. This result made all heavens and myriad domains tremble!
A once supreme being, overawing the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, ruling the universe's eight directions, wherever he passed, all spirits submitted. After enduring long years, he heaven-defyingly returned.
His appearance, compared to the emergence of the two ancient supremes, had different significance. For the first time, it most truly proved to the mortal world that some ancient emperors had not died. This significance was too great, overturning many people's inherent cognition!
With a rumble, blue-purple light burst forth, covering the sky and earth, flooding the Northern Domain. In this instant, the huge Qilin transformed into a middle-aged man. A head of thick blue hair scattered down, purple pupils sharp as heavenly blades, looking down on the mortal world!
He was majestic and towering, immortal energy swirling around his body, standing in the sky. With a wave of his hand, the staff forged from Eternal Blue Gold flew forward.
"Father!"
A voice trembling, crying, with joy and sorrow and bitterness came. She tightly grasped the Qilin Staff, following from the outer domain all the way here.
This was a peerless beauty, water-blue long hair, slender jade body, tear-stained fair face, crying with joy, excited to the extreme, rushing over like crazy, inconsistent with her graceful and peerless temperament. It was Fire Qilin Child.
She never thought there would be a day of reunion, a day of meeting. Her whole body trembled. Back then, her father was already in his later years, sealing their brother and sister. That was truly a separation of life and death, heart-wrenching.
Because they knew that parting was forever. They would fall into slumber, and their father would also sit in meditation not long after. Even if they revived millions of years later, there would be no day of meeting.
That was a pain. Even looking back now, it still tore at the heart. Who would have thought... millions of years passed, and they would meet, having such a scene.
Fire Qilin Child could no longer hold back. She wailed loudly, pouncing over, rushing into the arms of the majestic and imposing man, crying until the sky darkened, completely different from usual.
When the middle-aged man was young, he must have been incomparably handsome. Now his temperament was even more outstanding, divinely martial and astonishing, possessing a world-covering divine posture!
In his deep eyes, ripples appeared, warmth on his face. He gently patted Fire Qilin Child's shoulder, saying: "Don't cry. Wait for father to kill out an immortal universe and take you to become immortal together."
He spoke softly, but there was a world-covering dominance. The myriad Daos of heaven and earth all wailed, submitting under his pressure, all trembling.
This was an Ancient Emperor. Every word and action was law, unmatched in the world, none daring to contend!
"Father... I'm afraid. I don't want to be separated from you!" Fire Qilin Child, always strong, as a generation's imperial clan heavenly maiden, rarely showed this kind of fear.
"Don't be afraid. Father will be fine. Wait for my return!" The Qilin Ancient Emperor said firmly, his eyes filled with astonishing brilliance.
"Father... please, take me with you. Don't let me leave alone, even if just for a moment." Fire Qilin Child cried.
"You cannot be with me. Otherwise, your whole life will be suppressed under my Dao. I can only control it for a moment now. If it's too long, it will inevitably have a great impact on you." The Qilin Ancient Emperor gently pushed her away, not allowing her to say more. He stroked her cheek with his hand, then his eyes suddenly blazed, a cluster of brilliant light bursting from between his palm and fingers, wrapping Fire Qilin Child, tearing open the starry sky, directly sending her into the distant depths of the universe.
"Father!" In the ancestral land of the Fire Qilin Cave, on a great star, Fire Qilin Child was grief-stricken, crying until tears blurred her eyes. Her heart was terrified to the extreme. Powerlessly, she knelt on the ground. Perhaps this time would truly be a farewell forever!
Father and daughter spoke little, seemingly plain, but full of emotion. The Ancient Emperor was protecting her, not letting her suffer any harm, his heart filled with too much reluctance.
Her father went to bloody battle, to fight with all his might, to battle on the Immortal Path, and might also face threats from other Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors. This might be a road of no return.
A hero, once gone, never returns!
To take her to become immortal together, no longer separated. He had said these words when she was very young. Now this day had truly arrived. What would be the result? Fire Qilin Child's heart trembled. Never had she been so helpless as today.
The Qilin Ancient Emperor took one last look at the depths of the universe, holding the divine staff forged from Eternal Blue Gold, took one step, and directly arrived before the great crack of the Immortal Path in the Southern Domain.
"You have come. We can already make our move!"
The Daoist from the Immortal Mound spoke, still sitting cross-legged on that ancient war chariot, an immortal sword lying horizontally across his knees, his whole body shrouded in chaos.
On the other side, the master of the Immortal Mountain sat astride the huge divine tiger, holding a large halberd forged from Dragon Pattern Black Gold, pressing down the heavenly dome, swallowing ten thousand li, also nodding.
And not far away, there were four others. Several major Forbidden Zones of Life all had ancient supremes emerge, arriving at this place, about to unfold heaven-shattering attacks.
This place seemed about to be shattered, the heavenly Dao rules turning to ash, terrifying aura spreading out, piercing through past, present, and future!
Never in any era had seven ancient Great Emperor-level figures gathered together, appearing in the same era, opening an unprecedented miracle in history.
They restrained their divine power fluctuations, just standing like this, making this vast heaven and earth about to be destroyed, the entire great universe seeming about to be extinguished, reaching the eight wastelands, sensed even in the deepest parts of the universe.
This era heaven-defying, this era appears only once, this era can never be replicated or seen again!
Ten thousand ages of waiting, endless anticipation, all erupted in this era, about to unfold the final and most brutal battle, charging into the Immortal Domain, truly becoming immortal.
"Correct time, correct location, both have appeared. Kill your way in!"
The Qilin Ancient Emperor raised the brilliant blue divine staff and moved first, charging toward the huge crack, smashing toward the tightly shut majestic city gate, unfolding the most powerful attack.
At this moment, true Ancient Emperor fluctuations appeared, suppressing ten thousand ages of green sky, shattering past, present, and future. This power was too terrifying. In this instant, even in the deepest parts of the universe, a terrifying aura was sensed.
However, the Qilin Ancient Emperor was not destroying the world. His world-covering killing attack power did not sweep a single wisp toward the outer domain stars or ripple to the Eastern Wasteland earth, all rushing toward that immortal gate.
The most brilliant light emitted, the most dazzling radiance shone. The Ancient Emperor made his move. The most powerful attack power in this world finally appeared again!
"Kill out a bright universe, kill out an Immortal Path!" The ancient supremes roared together!
Everyone moved, attacking together. At this moment, Imperial Artifact fluctuations shook the sky, immortal light bloomed. The ancient Great Emperors reigned over the world. Throughout history, the most powerful few people in this world attacked together, wanting to fight into the Immortal Domain!
Seven figures, like seven immortal monuments, stood before the Immortal Path, charging with hot blood and life. War songs resounded through the Nine Heavens, turning into the most stunning radiance in ten thousand ages!
This era only permits success, not failure!
What will be the result? This is the path of the ancient supremes. What thoughts do the various Great Emperors have? Please write them on monthly votes and send them out, letting me and them see. Thank you.
