Chapter 1233: Chapter 530: The Greatest Secret of Ancient and Modern Times, The Past and Present Lives of Jiang Yuan._3
At this point, Jiang Yuan finally understood.
The Heavenly Emperor, as the founder of the path, had still kept something up his sleeve.
Or rather, a few things.
In the cave within his physical body as the Immortal World, perhaps there were his schemes.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake his head.
Having reached a ninety-five percent mastery of time, he also saw his own past and present lives.
This Heavenly Emperor was also one of his past lives.
In other words, the actions of this Heavenly Emperor could also be regarded as his own.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly.
The next moment,
he continued to review the most splendid life of his previous incarnations.
Like watching a movie, the life when he was the Heavenly Emperor passed by him like fleeting scenes.
After creating the Immortal World, he divided it into Nine Heavenly Realms, and his founded Heavenly Court was placed above the Nine Skies, continuing to rule over the entire Immortal World. As for the Lower Realm, it was thus left in a state of neglect.
Nothing that followed mattered much.
Under the reign of this Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Court grew increasingly powerful.
One after another, mightly figures emerged, stifling the Immortal World to the point where no second voice could be heard.
In this process, this Heavenly Emperor’s strength also grew more formidable.
From Jiang Yuan’s perspective, he also noticed something unique about this Heavenly Emperor.
He was traversing two paths; one was the Immortal Dao.
But the Immortal Dao he walked was different from that of other immortals; he still had not abandoned his physical body.
The second path, however, was deeply hidden.
From the second path, one could also see the unparalleled scheming of this Heavenly Emperor throughout ancient and modern times.
The Immortal World was his Cave Heaven World.
Those so-called immortals, after casting off their physical bodies and ascending with their primordial spirits into the Immortal World,
were equivalent to becoming the Immortal Spirits within his Cave Heaven World.
Without the protection of their physical bodies, the Dao Fruits cultivated by those immortals were laid bare before this Heavenly Emperor’s eyes.
Whether it was the Dao Fruit of an immortal, a true immortal, or even an Immortal Venerable, all were intricately linked to his Cave Heaven World.
In such a case, Jiang Yuan also discovered a secret, a tremendous secret.
All the Great Dao understood by all the immortals were being peered into and mastered in sync by this Heavenly Emperor.
Countless immortals, true immortals, Immortal Venerables, and even those in the Forbidden Domain such as Heavenly Lords were profoundly connected to him.
The Three Thousand Great Dao comprehended by those mighty beings were essentially the same as the Three Thousand Great Dao comprehended by this Heavenly Emperor.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly understood.
And as he continued, he understood even more deeply.
This Heavenly Emperor had set up a layout, a shocking grand scheme where all beings and spirits were his chess pieces.
The so-called Dao Fruits were the food he had left behind.
All beings and spirits were his tools, tools to completely master the Three Thousand Great Dao.
In his plan, at the moment of mastering the Three Thousand Great Dao, the splendid Immortal World was to be sacrificed by him.
To sacrifice all the strong, sacrifice all the Dao Fruits, and let all things transform into the purest energy, so that his Cave Heaven World could merge with the Three Thousand Great Dao, subsequently ascend, and transform, eventually achieving transcendence.
He saw this as the only way to transcendence, given his position within a branch of the Time River with scarce resources.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan’s gaze sharpened.
He suddenly felt something was amiss.
How could such a deep and ancient schemer, someone who had laid out such an extensive plan, allow himself to be reincarnated without any measures?
His current will was still Jiang Yuan, not that of the Heavenly Emperor from the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Of this, Jiang Yuan was certain.
Because at his level, his heart and will could not possibly be obscured.
The next moment, Jiang Yuan’s eyes continued to uncover his past and present lives.
After a moment, he suddenly understood the reason behind it.
Indeed, the Heavenly Emperor’s layout was vast and profound.
But at the same time, things did not always go as he wished.
Just as he was about to succeed,
enemies from the upper stream of the Time River made their move again.
They set out from the tributaries, riding their warships down the Time River, ready to harvest the ultimate Origin of this realm.
However, what they did not expect was that in this era, which was on the brink of its end, such an aberration had been born.
Facing the enemies coming from upstream, the Heavenly Emperor made his move, obliterating them all instantly above the river.
But this action brought tremendous trouble.
The news of defeat was transmitted instantly back to the main current upstream of the Time River.
They had already evolved to a dazzling era, comparable to the beings of the Forbidden Domain. Countless Half-step Transcenders were also not uncommon.
The goal sought by countless mighty beings was to harvest thousands of realms for transcendence.
Because without verifying transcendence or entering transcendence, no matter how powerful or ancient one was, there would still come a day when their lifespan approached its end.
In such circumstances, countless cycles of reincarnation had persisted.
The lifespan of a Half-step Transcender was one cycle of reincarnation,
And one cycle was a hundred million years.
Exactly how many cycles this realm, this Time River, had persisted was unknown to anyone.
All this was learned by the Heavenly Emperor from the mouths of the coming enemies.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan also came to know these profound secrets.
Subsequently, as the news of defeat was returned, a second-tier of stronger beings personally led their forces to kill their way here.
However, these second-tier strong beings, who reigned above the Heavenly Lords, were once again slain by this Heavenly Emperor.
Afterward, seeing no other choice as he faced the ongoing onslaught of enemies, the Heavenly Emperor took action ahead of time.
After preparing for a while, he led the entire Heavenly Court into the Time River upstream.
And so, Jiang Yuan witnessed the ultimate secrets of this realm, the battle at the upper stream of the Time River.
