# Chapter 1756: Divining Immortality
A friendly reminder: If you have any questions or suggestions, you can go to Brother Dong's Weibo to ask, and Brother Dong will read them all.
The only fortunate thing was that in this era, there was a powerful Sacred Body Ye Fan who had slain an ancient Heavenly Venerable who had undergone ultimate sublimation. Now he ruled over the human world, invincible wherever he went.
He was a man of this generation, his blood energy surging like an ocean, overwhelming the stars of the universe. He was in his prime, far surpassing ancient imperial-level figures. No one dared to fight him to the point of exhaustion. Perhaps he could intimidate the multitude of emperors.
But this was only a small comfort. Most people still trembled in fear, after all, there was only one Sacred Body, while the number of ancient Supremes remained unknown.
"Is this battle really coming? Seeking immortality, always seeking immortality—how many people have you harmed!"
"I hate this golden great era, I hate this immortal path, I hate all who attain the Dao—you should all die!"
Throughout the world, many people cursed, a scene of desolation and sorrow. Countless people were terrified. The wounds left by the Dark Calamity had not yet truly healed.
Mortals had changed many generations, but many cultivators had lived through that era. Many had lost their loved ones, bearing bloody pain.
"I hope that this time, the Feixian Star will explode, turning into the greatest burial ground in history, burying all the Supremes, ending the Dark Calamity of the mortal world," an old man with white hair roared with bloodshot eyes.
If the Supremes died in the battle on the immortal path, that would be one thing. But if they needed to replenish their essence due to the calamity, that would be an unbearable burden. There had been too much blood and pain in the past.
"When the immortal path flourishes, the lower-level cultivators suffer; when the immortal path declines, the lower-level cultivators also suffer!"
Someone sighed. The visions and hopes of the Supremes had nothing to do with the lower-level cultivators. Whenever turmoil occurred, it was always the weak who suffered in the end.
The Feixian Star had undergone a mutation. Before its secrets had even truly been revealed, the entire universe was already restless.
Never in history had there been a time like this—two immortal path calamities occurring less than a thousand years apart. This set a precedent never seen before in ancient times. But in the eyes of the lower-level cultivators, this was an unprecedented great demonic tribulation.
Having experienced pain, having personally witnessed boundless blood and bone, people still trembled at the thought. So as soon as signs appeared, the major powerful clans began frantically relocating.
They could not endure another great calamity!
Which star domain was the most desolate, which star domain was the most barren, which star domain was isolated from the world—all became their targets. An unprecedented great cosmic migration had begun.
In many ancient life-bearing lands, the powerful clans had vanished, heading to the borders of the universe, entering dead star systems never before trodden by man. The universe had fallen into chaos first.
The Heavenly Court was not panicked. Despite all kinds of rumors from the outside world recently, they proceeded methodically, everything stable. No one was greatly afraid in their hearts.
Perhaps the Sacred Body Ye Fan could not protect the entire universe, but protecting the Heavenly Court was enough. All the heavenly soldiers and generals firmly believed this. The path ahead would not be dark.
Only the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court felt a bit tense, because Black Emperor, Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, and others knew that Ye Fan had knots in his heart. He missed his friend Ji Zi, Jiang Taixu who was as kind as a father, and Gai Jiuyou, among others. He could not forget them and would surely seek revenge.
Especially after learning the news that Stone Emperor was still alive, Ye Fan had often sat in meditation over the past hundred years, gazing into the distance at the Immortal Mountain of the Big Dipper. People knew that once the battle began, he would surely charge over, seeking an opportunity to intercept and kill Stone Emperor.
"I am already prepared for battle, but before that, I will open up ten pure lands for you, which no one will be able to discover or breach. The Heavenly Court will be divided into ten divisions, each taking refuge within," Ye Fan said.
Everyone sighed, knowing his mind was made up. He would go to battle, perhaps ultimately facing not just one ancient Supreme. This would be an imperial-level struggle and bloody war.
"Rest assured, I will return alive, because I absolutely cannot die. The vast battle plan I once spoke of has not yet been fully laid out. It will definitely be realized!"
Ye Fan gave his assurance. This was the truth. He really could not die, otherwise many people would die because of him. The sons of the Forbidden Zones would surely massacre the various battle divisions of the Heavenly Court.
As long as he lived, it was a deterrent. Ultimately, no one would dare to act. They had to keep advancing to protect one side.
"Sect Master, we have a feeling that this Feixian Star calamity will be very special, but we dare not delve too deeply into it." Gu Lin and Gu Fei approached. Nearly a thousand years had passed, and this brother and sister pair had become the most mysterious diviners in the Heavenly Court.
"You have sensed it too?" Ye Fan said. This pair of siblings were indeed astonishingly talented. He himself had been continuously deducing these days, wielding the Former Character Secret, hoping for occasional flashes of insight to glimpse a corner of the future. He had been trying to capture it, feeling that this time was especially extraordinary.
Hearing this, the others were also startled. Black Emperor pondered for a long time, but unfortunately, the one who was originally best at spiritual communication had exhausted his ability to predict the unknown after his forehead blazed like fire last time. He could no longer use the Former Character Secret to deduce anything.
"Use your talents boldly to deduce. I will bear all the terrible consequences," Ye Fan said after some thought.
His strength had reached this level, giving him this confidence. He could resist the most terrifying calamities in the world. Under his protection, within a certain range, he could transfer the causes and effects of others' misfortunes.
"Wouldn't this be very dangerous?" Li Tian, Li Heishui, and others frowned, afraid something would happen to him.
"Rest assured. No matter how terrible, it's nothing more than the strongest strike of a Great Emperor. It won't trouble me," Ye Fan said calmly.
Gu Fei and Gu Lin looked at each other. Finally, encouraged by Ye Fan, they calmed their minds, sat cross-legged on a huge white tortoise shell, facing each other as if transforming into yin and yang, and began their deduction.
They were themselves spirit children, yin and yang standing in opposition, mutually transforming calamities. Now with Ye Fan's promise, they could naturally proceed boldly.
Everyone withdrew, far away from this floating island in the universe. Mist filled the air, mysterious auras emerged, and this place became a chaos.
The white tortoise shell was something Ye Fan had found two hundred years ago while traveling through the chaotic universe. It was suspected to be a relic left behind by a Black Tortoise before attaining the Dao, possessing mysterious power.
At this moment, milky white light flowed, mingling with chaotic energy, engulfing the brother and sister. One rune after another lit up on the tortoise shell, transforming into mysterious scriptures, arranged in this place.
Gu Fei and Gu Lin not only used their own divination divine arts but also activated the Former Character Secret. The two were spiritually connected, now merging with the heart of the Heavenly Dao. A patch of light ripples appeared before their eyes, as if they saw a blurry corner of the future.
Yes, even Ye Fan could feel a future aura spreading.
"Boom!"
At the center of the sky, a primordial immortal light descended, entwined with five-colored divine radiance, flowing with chaotic essence, terrifying beyond measure. Then it gathered the lightning of the eight extremes, covering everything below.
Everyone was horrified. This was an imperial divine tribulation, absolutely capable of injuring ancient emperors with its world-overwhelming lightning.
It was hard to imagine what Gu Lin and Gu Fei had seen, to trigger such a calamity. Using it to strike these two, whose cultivation was not high, was far too excessive.
"Rise!"
Amid the endless imperial tribulation, Ye Fan shouted. His divine phenomenon expanded, covering this divine island, protecting the brother and sister. He reversed everything, channeling all the calamity toward himself.
Heaven and earth split apart. The universe seemed to be drying up. Ye Fan's fist force was overwhelming, hard-striking the supreme divine tribulation, shattering it.
Fortunately, this tribulation was only a single strike from heaven, not an endless, infinite imperial divine punishment.
When the light disappeared, the divine island was unharmed, but many cracks had appeared on the white tortoise shell. This shocked those who rushed over, but when they saw that the pale-faced Gu Fei and Gu Lin were unharmed, they finally relaxed.
"What did you see?" Black Emperor asked. The others were also tense, looking at the brother and sister.
"A vast expanse, very blurry. There were many lights and shadows, but nothing was clear. This is a future that cannot be predicted," Gu Fei said, his face bloodless.
"Yes, the future cannot be predicted," Gu Lin also said.
Everyone was stunned. This time was definitely extraordinary. Had it already ended like this without even predicting anything? Such a calamity had descended, too terrifying. The path ahead made people uneasy!
"Crackle"
Suddenly, the white tortoise shell shattered, turning into pieces, scattering across the divine island.
The island was unharmed, so why had it shattered? Even Ye Fan was surprised. This was a relic suspected to have been left by a Supreme before attaining the Dao, indestructible and eternal, yet it had disintegrated like this.
"This... divine armor, the supreme sacred object of innate divination—it has calculated the future!" Suddenly, the brother and sister shouted.
From the shattered tortoise shell fragments, they understood. They knew a corner of the future, extremely shocked, their lips trembling.
"What is it?" Everyone pressed.
"This... there will be a great calamity. Some of the most powerful emperors and emperors will die!" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts shook violently. Sure enough, another brutal great battle was coming.
"And what else?" Huahua asked.
"In this era, immortals will appear. Someone will become an immortal!" Gu Lin and Gu Fei loudly spoke the ultimate secret they had seen.
With just this one sentence, a huge thunderclap resounded throughout the entire universe, causing the eternal sky to shake violently. Many cultivators everywhere looked up at the sky in confusion, bewildered.
Immortals emerging—someone in this era would become an immortal, and on that same-named star. This news was earth-shattering, shaking the Heavenly Court. Even Ye Fan was momentarily dazed.
Throughout history, how many emperors, how many emperors of powerful clans had sought immortality, wanting to break into another world, to shatter mortality and seek eternal life, yet all had failed.
Now someone was saying that in this era, someone would become an immortal and succeed. How could this not be shocking?
Opening a precedent never seen in ancient times!
A divine miracle was about to occur. Immortals would appear in heaven and earth. This was an unprecedented event!
The Heavenly Court was in an uproar, extremely shaken. Everyone's heart surged with emotion. In the near future, the greatest opportunity for achieving immortality would appear. If they could seize it, they would create history!
"This time, the Feixian Star calamity has exceeded my expectations."
Ye Fan sighed softly. He felt it was necessary to change his strategy. If there truly was hope of becoming an immortal, he would naturally bring the Heavenly Court's forces with him.
"Rumble..."
At the central sealed land of the ancient Feixian Star, one stone tablet after another rose from underground, standing on the surface, tall and majestic, mysterious and ancient.
On them, densely packed with many characters, belonging to unknown eras, impossible to read.
"Is this a cemetery of immortals and demons? Can one break into the Immortal Realm from here?" A phantom formed by an ancient Supreme appeared, arriving here ahead of time. (To be continued)
