Chapter 1 The Main Tomb

Inside the main tomb.

Star Constellation Immortal Emperor stared at the scene before him, his entire body ice-cold.

While he was surrounded by a sea of karmic fire, Lu Changsheng's karma had transformed into karmic true dragons, a total of one hundred and eight of them, all staring directly at him.

So-called karma.

Before reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, this wouldn't cause any trouble unless one was involved in very significant karma.

But after becoming an Immortal Emperor, the terrifying nature of karma fully manifested.

Karma transformed into karmic fire, burning the self, but a powerful Immortal Emperor could sever the karma and extinguish the karmic fire, reaching the Supreme Realm.

However, the process was difficult.

After all, each realm had its own set of troubles, and karma was the Immortal Emperor's greatest concern.

Ordinary karma only transformed into flames, burning the self, while more powerful karmic fire transformed into a sea of karmic fire, tormenting the physical body and primordial spirit.

But these weren't major problems; for an Immortal Emperor, it was merely painful torture that could be suppressed.

The truly terrifying thing was that it obstructed the path of cultivation. In the future, with karma缠身 *chan shen* (entangled), it would be impossible to break through realms.

Otherwise, why was it often said, "Sever karma, sever karma..."

Back then, in the Divine Sea, he had been subjected to karmic enhancement, and his karma had transformed into a sea of fire that even an Immortal Emperor couldn't withstand.

So, to break free from this predicament, he had to seize someone else's body and transfer the karma to them. But doing so required him to pay a great price.

Yet if he succeeded, everything would be fine. Moreover, if the other party was a supreme genius, he could still cultivate back to his previous level.

However, what shocked the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor was that Lu Changsheng's karmic force had actually formed true dragons.

*Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!*

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor's mind buzzed.

Karmic true dragons—what kind of concept was that?

Karmic fire! Karmic sea of fire! Karmic ancient beasts! Karmic fire dragons! Karmic true dragons!

The most karmically burdened in this world were disciples of the Buddhist faith, often making great vows, thus allowing karmic fire to entangle them and temper a true Buddha's body.

Even among Buddhas, some supreme Buddhas, even those at the Immortal Emperor level, might have their karmic fire transform into beasts, which was already considered incredible.

Karmic fire transforming into beasts meant a restless mind. A bit stronger, it would be dragons subdued and tigers tamed, subduing karmic dragons and taming karmic tigers. This was already terrifyingly powerful, something even an Immortal Emperor couldn't withstand.

Yet Lu Changsheng's karma had directly transformed into a karmic true dragon!

No, it wasn't just one karmic true dragon; it was one hundred and eight of them.

"You!"

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor panicked. He was so shocked that he trembled all over. Karmic true dragons—what a concept that was!

Forget about one hundred and eight; even one, he couldn't withstand.

This was impossible, impossible, impossible! How could there be such a person in this world?

This kind of karma would make even the Buddha frown!

How could a young cultivator attract such terrifying karmic true dragons?

And one hundred and eight of them?

"Roar!"

The roar of the karmic true dragons resounded, and then they enhanced him.

Ah!!!!

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor's scream rang out. He could withstand the sea of karmic fire, but the karmic true dragons caused pain to his divine soul. Moreover, with karmic enhancement, he had to bear terrifying karma.

But at this moment, the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor also heard a voice.

"I am Lu Changsheng, and I wish that everyone in the world may be like dragons!"

*Hiss!*

The magnificent voice sounded, leaving the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor dumbfounded.

Completely dumbfounded.

Wish that everyone in the world may be like dragons?

Did he deserve to say such words? Was he crazy?

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor was dumbfounded, no longer even feeling the pain, his whole being stunned.

Wishing that everyone in the world may be like dragons—what magnificent words were those? What great karma was that?

Even the Buddha wouldn't dare to make such a grand vow!

The most infuriating thing was that the Heavenly Dao had actually accepted this karma.

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor felt that even if he made such a grand vow, the Heavenly Dao probably wouldn't dare to accept it.

It wasn't that the Heavenly Dao didn't dare to accept it, but that the Heavenly Dao didn't believe he could fulfill it.

Karma wasn't something to be taken lightly. Otherwise, if a Qi Refinement cultivator said, "I wish to make everyone in the world an Immortal Emperor," wouldn't that be an immediate explosion?

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor was dumbfounded. He was truly dumbfounded. How could someone who made such a滔天 *tao tian* (huge) karmic vow still be alive and well?

But soon, as the karmic true dragons continued to enhance him, the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor heard some more terrifying sounds.

"I am Lu Changsheng, and I wish to establish the heart of Heaven and Earth, to establish the destiny of the living, to continue the lost teachings of past sages, and to create peace for all generations."

As this voice sounded, all the karmic true dragons directly enhanced him.

*Pfft!*

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor spat out a mouthful of old blood. This was his last mouthful of blood.

He was stunned, he was foolish, he was insane.

If before, "everyone is like a dragon," he felt wasn't too excessive, but this sentence was too much!

You're establishing the heart of Heaven and Earth, big brother—do you deserve it? Wuwuwuwuwu!

And creating peace for all generations? It's not that I look down on you; it's that I look down on myself!

One hundred and eight karmic true dragons enhanced the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor. At this moment, an Immortal Emperor began to crack. His body shattered, his primordial spirit collapsed, and he couldn't withstand even a few rounds.

"I hate it so much!!!!"

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor roared. He truly hated it so much. Why? Why? Why was he so unlucky?

He had become famous at a young age, reaching the Immortal Emperor realm in three hundred years, and then, unfortunately, he had to venture into the Divine Sea.

Going was one thing, but he suffered a blow and became entangled in karmic fire. This was already bad enough.

He finally schemed for an era, intending to transfer karma, seize the other party, and then escape with the treasure. A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late. An Immortal Emperor takes revenge; ten thousand eons are not too late.

But he encountered a cheat.

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor laughed as he roared.

"Hahahahaha! It's all fake! It's all fake! Fake! Fake! I am the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor!"

"I will be invincible in this world! I will unify the world. I am the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor, and I will suppress all enemies in the world, hahahahahahah... *Gah!*"

With an extremely ear-piercing sound, the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor died completely.

Not even a speck of dust remained.

He died. Under one hundred and eight karmic true dragons, even an Immortal Emperor had to die.

And the most important thing was that the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor forcibly tried to convert Lu Changsheng's karma, and it couldn't be stopped.

Lu Changsheng had never seen such a request in his life.

Xuan Wu, on the side, was in a state of confusion.

He never imagined that the ending would be like this.

An Immortal Emperor.

A dignified Immortal Emperor.

Was actually played to death by you like this?

However, Lu Changsheng didn't show any emotion. Although he hadn't guessed that this guy would die like this, with Senior Tianji's divination and his talkative nature, Lu Changsheng had already determined that he would definitely die.

But this kind of death was indeed a bit unexpected.

At this moment, suddenly, the karmic true dragons began to transform, turning into one hundred and eight golden dragons, floating behind Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng had an indescribable feeling. His primordial spirit received a huge boost, even breaking through its shackles.

This surprised Lu Changsheng. There were benefits to this as well?

In fact, in the eyes of Buddhists, karma was a fierce beast. Only by subduing dragons and tigers could one achieve transcendence and perfection.

And it would be very troublesome for Lu Changsheng to subdue one hundred and eight karmic true dragons.

But now, with the help of the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor, it was much easier.

The karmic true dragons burned the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor to death with great karma, but this karma came from Lu Changsheng's body. Therefore, the karma completed what it was supposed to do, and when it found that the person hadn't died, it assumed that Lu Changsheng had transcended and achieved perfection.

In other words, the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor helped Lu Changsheng overcome the tribulation of karma, instead allowing Lu Changsheng to transcend and achieve perfection.

One hundred and eight karmic true dragons surrounded him, his primordial spirit soared, and at the same time, they transformed into one hundred and eight divine wheels, spreading behind him. These divine wheels were larger than each other, shining with immortal light, representing unparalleled wisdom, great transcendence, great supremacy, and great awakening.

If Buddhist cultivators were to see this, they would probably be so shocked that they would renounce their vows.

The greatest benefit of karmic transcendence was the soaring of the primordial spirit.

However, the primordial spirit couldn't surpass one's own realm, so Lu Changsheng temporarily suppressed this transcendence power, saving it for when he broke through realms in the future.

*Boom!*

At this moment, suddenly, terrifying dragon roars and phoenix cries resounded. Above the main tomb, a true dragon and a divine phoenix phantom appeared, forcibly opening a passage.

"Wake up!"

The voice of an Immortal King sounded. In an instant, millions of cultivators woke up. With the death of the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor, the power of the stars that bound them completely disappeared.

The millions of cultivators woke up and saw this scene, almost subconsciously fleeing, not even caring whether the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor was still alive.

After all, they hadn't expected that an Immortal King would really come to rescue them. In this desperate situation, with a glimmer of hope, they naturally lost their minds.

"Brother Lu, run!"

Jinwu Crown Prince and the others immediately looked at Lu Changsheng, urging him to flee quickly.

However, they were also very curious about what had happened. Where was the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor? Why had he suddenly disappeared?

"You go first."

Lu Changsheng originally wanted to leave as well, but soon, he suddenly thought of something and decided not to leave together for the time being.

"Alright, Brother Lu, see you again if fate allows!"

"See you again if fate allows!"

Everyone spoke. They didn't understand what had happened. All they knew was that the Immortal King had come with an Immortal Emperor artifact, forcibly opening a path of survival.

So, the most important thing to do now was to escape.

Lu Changsheng was temporarily unwilling to leave, and naturally, Lu Changsheng had his own plans. They didn't ask much, didn't say much, and ran first.

*Boom!*

As another sound rang out, all the cultivators left this place, and the passage automatically collapsed.

Outside the Immortal Emperor's tomb, millions of cultivators had a feeling of surviving a catastrophe. Some were lying on the ground, some were crying directly, and some were staring blankly at everything.

Nearly three million cultivators had entered, but only one million had survived.

Two million cultivators had died, including many geniuses.

"Father!"

Peacock King walked out of the Immortal Emperor's tomb, and soon he saw his father.

A middle-aged man in green clothes, with a solemn expression, stood there, surrounded by five-colored immortal light, with extraordinary divine might.

This was Peacock Bright King, an extremely powerful Immortal King, who possessed indescribable fame in the Six Realms.

He was regarded as the most hopeful existence to become an Immortal Emperor, of course, in the Demon Realm and the Buddhist Realm, because in the Immortal Realm, the Lord of the Heavenly Court was the most hopeful existence to become an Immortal Emperor.

"It's good that you're alright."

Peacock Bright King spoke slowly. He didn't blame him, nor did he dote on him, just calmly.

"Father, I want to ask you something. In this world, apart from our Peacock clan, can other cultivators master the five-colored immortal light?"

Peacock King nodded, and then he spoke, asking this way.

"Five-colored immortal light is the天赋神通 *tian fu shen tong* (innate divine ability) of our Peacock clan. Basically, only our Peacock clan can master it. Of course, the Ancestral Phoenix also has this divine ability. After all, the ancestor of our Peacock clan is the Ancestral Phoenix."

Peacock Bright King frowned slightly, not understanding why Peacock King was asking this.

"Ancestral Phoenix? It seems that Brother Lu really has a great relationship with my Peacock clan. His true form should be a true phoenix."

Peacock King murmured to himself.

"Alright, this time it's thanks to the Buddhist faith's help. However, it seems that something has happened in the Demon Realm. The Demon Emperor may have returned. You and I will go to the Demon Realm. In any case, we are also demon cultivators."

Peacock Bright King said this.

Immediately, Peacock King nodded.

Then he left with Peacock King.

At the same time, Supreme Xuanji, Jinwu Crown Prince, Star Constellation Child, Xu Qing, Marquis Champion, and others also raised the same question to the elders of their respective sects.

"Xuanji, are you stupid? How could the Annihilation Divine Art of my Supreme Holy Land be leaked?"

The Supreme Elder was a little dumbfounded, mistakenly thinking that Supreme Xuanji had suffered some kind of stimulation.

"Elder, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, in our Supreme Holy Land, have any elders who mastered the Annihilation Divine Art left the Supreme Holy Land and never returned?"

Supreme Xuanji said this way.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Our Supreme Holy Land has existed for tens of millions of years. There will definitely be a few missing elders."

The elder of the Supreme Holy Land said this way.

"That's right, that's right!" Supreme Xuanji said excitedly.

Another place.

Xu Qing.

"Elder, Elder, we've struck it rich, we've struck it rich! Our Qingyun Holy Land is completely rich this time!"

Xu Qing was so excited that he was incoherent. When the elder of the Qingyun Holy Land heard this, he immediately grabbed Xu Qing and fled this place without blinking an eye.

He even directly activated the array platform, traversing tens of millions of miles.

"Xu Qing, what happened? Did you get some kind of fortune? Let me take a look!"

The elder of the Qingyun Holy Land was extremely excited. He mistakenly thought that Xu Qing had obtained a supreme treasure.

However, Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Elder, it's not this. Let me tell you, do you know Lu Heavenly Emperor?"

Xu Qing said this, causing the elder to instantly lose interest.

If you didn't get a treasure, why are you so excited?

As for Lu Heavenly Emperor, he had heard a little about him.

"I've heard of him. He's the one from the Little Azure Sect who comprehended the peerless inheritance. Your uncles and aunts said that this Lu Heavenly Emperor probably has a great background. What's wrong?"

The other party said this way.

"He's from our Qingyun Holy Land, maybe my senior brother."

Xu Qing took a deep breath, and then said this way.

"Really?"

The other party was surprised. This Lu Heavenly Emperor was very famous in the Southern Immortal Realm, but he didn't expect that he was actually a disciple of the Qingyun Holy Land.

"Really, Elder, I'm not lying to you. He has mastered the supreme immortal art of our Holy Land."

Xu Qing said seriously.

Immediately, the latter couldn't help but look shocked, and then nodded and said, "Then that's right. It must be from our Qingyun Holy Land."

He said this way, without even asking why.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect that my Qingyun Holy Land would produce another supreme genius. Very good, very good, hahahahaha!"

The Qingyun Elder laughed loudly.

However, the same thing happened dozens of times at this moment.

"However, where is he now?"

The Qingyun Elder asked this way.

"He's still in the Immortal Emperor's tomb."

Xu Qing replied.

"What? Still in the Immortal Emperor's tomb?"

The Qingyun Elder was shocked.

At this moment.

Inside the Immortal Emperor's tomb.

After everyone had left, Lu Changsheng was alone, looking around.

"Big brother, why aren't we leaving?"

Xuan Wu was a little curious. He looked at Lu Changsheng, not understanding why Lu Changsheng was still staying here.

"What do you think?"

Lu Changsheng casually replied. He seriously looked around, but the main tomb didn't have any altars or mechanisms. It looked very ordinary.

"Could it be that there are still treasures here?"

Xuan Wu immediately guessed something and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, if I'm not wrong, there must be a treasure hidden here." Lu Changsheng nodded.

The reason he wasn't leaving here was that he was sure that there was a treasure here. As for what kind of treasure it was, he didn't know for the time being.

"Really? How do you know there are still treasures here? I've been here for an eon. It's not like I haven't been to the main tomb. This Star Constellation Immortal Emperor is very poor."

Xuan Wu was surprised.

To be honest, he had been here for an eon and had also been to the main tomb. He had never found any treasures. He had even opened the coffin, but he couldn't find a single treasure. But Lu Changsheng said that there must be a treasure here.

This made him very curious.

"Think about it carefully. The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor wanted to seize my body. Assuming he really succeeded in seizing my body, why would he dare to say that he could cultivate back to the Immortal Emperor realm? He must have confidence."

Lu Changsheng said this way.

Xuan Wu frowned.

"Perhaps the reason he's so confident is because of that pearl?"

Xuan Wu said this way.

"Impossible. Even at the Immortal Emperor realm, he couldn't obtain this divine pearl. After seizing someone else's body, his realm wouldn't improve. So he must have confidence! And I might have guessed what the treasure is."

Lu Changsheng said decisively.

"What treasure?"

When treasures were mentioned, Xuan Wu became energetic.

"Star Constellation Ancient Tree!"

Lu Changsheng calmly spoke four words.

When he was young, the Star Constellation Immortal Emperor encountered the Star Constellation Ancient Tree and picked three hundred and sixty-five fruits from it, thereby transforming into an Immortal Emperor.

Now he's so confident, believing that he can return to the Immortal Emperor realm.

It must be related to this Star Constellation Ancient Tree.

Lu Changsheng was very curious as to where he had hidden the Star Constellation Ancient Tree.

The Star Constellation Immortal Emperor was already dead, turned to ashes, which meant that it couldn't be hidden on his body.

"Star Constellation Ancient Tree? Then where did he hide it? Could it be hidden in the coffin?"

Xuan Wu asked in surprise.

Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned.

He looked at the red coffin.
