Chapter 1 The Beginning

　　On Zhuo Peak, Jiang Xuan met with Ye Fan and traded the *Xi Huang Jing* (Scripture of the West Emperor) of the Dao Palace realm for the *Dao Jing* (Tao Scripture) of the Wheel Sea realm. After that, he secretly waited, because he was there for the *jie zi mi* (All Character Secret), one of the Nine Secrets.

　　Several days later, at the peak of Zhuo Peak, a space of nothingness appeared, extremely peaceful. Inside, vegetation flourished and withered, green leaves dripping with moisture one moment, withering and decaying the next.

　　A nine-tiered heavenly staircase, hazy and indistinct, continuously expanded, and even magnificent palaces and jade buildings floated above, lying across the void.

　　Subsequently, the nine-tiered heavenly staircase continued to enlarge, transforming into nine platforms, with palaces and jade buildings above, surrounded by clouds and mist, hazy and indistinct.

　　Jiang Xuan stood in the void, divine patterns intertwined in his eyes. In that mysterious void, it was as if a world was evolving, inexplicable Dao and principles were interwoven, and a mysterious trajectory seemed to emerge between heaven and earth, forming complex and profound rules and order, giving rise to mysterious patterns and designs.

　　"Great accomplishment seems flawed, great fullness seems empty, great skill seems clumsy..."

　　The heavenly sound of the Great Dao echoed. Jiang Xuan listened carefully to the wonderful sound resonating between heaven and earth. What he initially gained was the fundamental heart technique of Zhuo Peak, complementing the *jie zi mi* (All Character Secret), which could integrate the *jie zi mi* (All Character Secret) into it, exerting all kinds of mysterious and unpredictable power.

　　After further deep comprehension, a mysterious Dao rhythm flowed, appearing incomparably mysterious. Compared with the simple and ancient heart technique of Zhuo Peak, there were many differences. Along this mysterious Dao rhythm, Jiang Xuan captured the mysteries within.

　　The *jie zi mi* (All Character Secret), one of the Nine Secrets, once triggered, could exert combat power several or even ten times over, its value immeasurable. Even the major aristocratic families and holy lands of Eastern Wilderness coveted such peerless secret techniques.

　　This secret technique had no heart technique, no moves, as if it were the Dao and principles engraved between heaven and earth. All the rules and mysteries were contained within, giving Jiang Xuan a feeling of directly facing the Great Dao.

　　"The Nine Secrets are indeed profound and remarkable. In the future, I can try to collect them all, and perhaps I can use them to create my own unique secret techniques."

　　Just like the Great Emperor Ruthless, she once created nine peerless secret techniques aimed at the Nine Secrets, with talent that shocked the world. Jiang Xuan also had long-term plans. Jiang Xuan in the Chaos Space had already cultivated several Great Daos. It was also possible to comprehend his own secret techniques based on the Nine Secrets.

　　"For now, I can start creating my own Emperor Scripture." Jiang Xuan thought to himself. He had already prepared to temporarily return to the Great Ruler World. That universe was safe enough, and Jiang Xuan had already collected several kinds of Emperor Scriptures, so he could start creating the scripture. If it needed to be improved later, he could continue to correct it.

　　……

　　Years flew by, and Jiang Xuan was always in seclusion, unaware of the outside world. He didn't know how long it had passed before he saw Ye Fan's request for help in the chat group.

　　After careful reading, he learned that the Myriad Race Assembly was about to be held, but the Human Race had no strong presence to guard it. Ye Fan had no choice but to think of asking for help in the chat group.

　　Now, there were many powerful individuals in the chat group. During Jiang Xuan's seclusion, many new members joined, including some with the same strength rating as him, which was why Ye Fan made such a choice.

　　However, what Ye Fan didn't expect was that his request for help actually became a group mission, and several people eventually participated in this mission and had already gone to the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

　　"Myriad Race Assembly, will Jiang Taixu appear this time?" Jiang Xuan was not sure. He didn't know if Jiang Taixu had already undergone nirvana. If there was no Jiang Taixu at this Myriad Race Assembly, he didn't know what might happen.

　　"They are just equivalent to great powerhouses, and the strongest is only at the Holy Lord realm. What can they do by going?" Jiang Xuan shook his head. At the Myriad Race Assembly, other races brought no shortage of Saint Kings and Great Saints. What could a few great powerhouses and Holy Lords change?

　　Of course, Jiang Xuan also knew their intentions. After all, the rewards for this group mission were very generous, especially since the chat group had also opened a group mall function, where you could buy the cultivation methods and secret techniques of the worlds where the group members were located.

　　For example, the Emperor Scriptures and Emperor Weapons of the Shrouding the Heavens universe, etc. The appearance of this function made Jiang Xuan, who had just finished his seclusion, quite helpless. If this function had been available earlier, why would he have gone to the Shrouding the Heavens universe to find them himself?

　t was not the time to complain now. After all, the upgrade of the chat group was not under his control. However, the rewards for this group mission were indeed generous. Jiang Xuan was also preparing to go to the Shrouding the Heavens universe again, so he took it on the way. It was just right to see if there was any difference between the Emperor Scriptures in this group mall and what he had found himself...

　　The Yaochi of the Northern Region has existed since ancient times. Legend has it that it was created by the West Queen Mother. It also has a special status in the Five Regions, because they are the most indifferent holy land and hardly participate in the world's struggles.

　　Moreover, this force is indeed extraordinary. In the past, the West Queen Mother and the Great Accomplishment Holy Body suppressed the world, which was equivalent to having two Great Emperor Supreme-level figures. Even the later Emperor Wu Shi was also a descendant of these two beings.

　　However, Yaochi has not been peaceful these years. Now, the Myriad Race Assembly is about to be held here, and all the creatures of the myriad races will come here. If it were not for the suppression of the Great Emperor's holy soldiers, it would have been turned upside down long ago.

　　However, the Human Race's situation is not good this time. Even if a few people from the chat group arrive, the strongest person in the Human Race is only at the Holy Lord realm.

　　"It's really ridiculous. The Myriad Race Assembly is about to be held, but only one Barbarian King has come from the Human Race, and there are not even a few people who can be on the stage."

　　An alien race sneered. He was a peerless figure among the ancient myriad races, comparable to the royal family, but his face was full of indifference at this time, and he mocked the Human Race to the extreme: "When the conference starts, the Ancestral King will come in person. I think there is probably no one in the Human Race who can be equal to the Ancestral King!"

　　"Doesn't the Human Race have a White-Clad Divine King? He was rescued from Zishan many years ago. Could it be that he doesn't dare to come?" Another alien race sneered, showing disdain.

　　"Hmph! If our race's Divine King is here, what are you?" Someone from the Human Race shouted, but no one in the myriad races cared, and even looked down on them quite a bit.

　　"In the ancient years, the Human Race only occupied a corner, and even self-preservation was a problem. They were the food in the mouths of many powerful races!" A certain royal family satirized, saying it in public, without fear.

　　"Hehe, I hope you can still say these words when our Human Race's Saint appears!" Ye Fan also retorted sarcastically. Jiang Xuan had just transmitted his voice to him, which immediately made him feel at ease.

　　It's just that this Myriad Race Assembly clearly shows that no race has good intentions. It was originally prepared to sit down and negotiate, but many powerful races simply didn't take the Human Race seriously.

　　However, not long after, the outside world was in chaos. News came from afar that the Conferred God List refined by Emperor Wu Shi had crossed the Northern Region, and ten thousand feet of golden light shone on the world!

　　Jiang Xuan stood in the distant void and could see clearly that it was an ancient scroll, crossing the Northern Region and illuminating the earth. The light was spiritual, as if it were cast in gold, and the whole body was brilliant, dazzling, and exuded an immortal divinity, wanting to exist as long as heaven and earth and compete with the sun and moon for glory.

　　Without a doubt, this was the aura of an ancient Great Emperor. On the land of the Northern Region, I don't know how many creatures couldn't help but kneel down, as if they were worshiping the sacred, with awe in their expressions.

　　"Impossible, how could there still be a Great Emperor alive in the Human Race?!" An ancient creature looked up at the sky, his expression panicked.

　　Moreover, it is said that this aura belongs to the Human Race's Emperor Wu Shi, which made countless myriad races even more frightened. After all, Emperor Wu Shi's reputation was too great, and he once suppressed an era!

　　He deterred the myriad races, suppressed the seven great life forbidden zones, annihilated the extraterrestrial gods, swept across the six harmonies and eight wastes, was invincible above and below the heavens, and was feared by ancient and modern times. He was the most powerful existence among the Great Emperors and ancient emperors. In his era, even the emperors of the myriad races did not dare to make trouble, let alone any dark turmoil.

　　"Who is at the peak at the end of the immortal path? Seeing Wu Shi, the Dao becomes empty," this was not casually said, but because he swept away everything and suppressed all the sources of disaster, so in his era, there was no great trouble in the world.

　　Moreover, after this, a Saint-level Black Tortoise appeared and directly killed an Ancestral King of the myriad races. It was precisely because of this that the originally arrogant myriad races temporarily died down and could only wait for the Myriad Race Assembly to begin.

　　……

　　A few days later, the Myriad Race Assembly officially began. The myriad races are not of one mind, and there are many who are inclined to the Human Race. This is the reason why the Myriad Race Assembly can be held. Otherwise, the myriad races would have already gone to war with the Human Race.

　　But today is different. The pressure of the ancient sages is overwhelming. The real big shots of the ancient myriad races have arrived. On that horizon, several figures are slowly walking, each of them tall and extremely majestic, like several demon mountains, as if they can crush the ancient blue sky.

　　They walk very slowly, but it is quite amazing. Each of them seems to have experienced immeasurable kalpas, and their bodies are in harmony with heaven and earth, integrated into the Dao rules.

　　Seven beings, each of them is an Ancestral King of the ancient times. Their appearance represents the attitude of the myriad races. Moreover, with their power, if the Human Race relies on the Black Tortoise, it will not be able to resist at all. What's more, the Black Tortoise is not a Human Race. Relying on its power will inevitably be laughed at and looked down upon by the myriad races.

　　"What kind of grand meeting is this? What people are here who can sit with us to discuss the future world situation and the development prospects of various races?" Finally, an Ancestral King spoke, extremely indifferent. His words also expressed his mentality, that is, he did not take the Human Race present seriously at all.

　　Many Human Race great powerhouses' faces turned cold, and their expressions were unhappy. They all knew that this was the myriad races provoking them, but they were very helpless. Ye Fan stood aside. There was still a group of people around him, dressed in strange clothes. They came from other worlds, but they could not change the overall situation. Even if they had special means, they could not compare with the ancient Saint Ancestral Kings.

　　In the void, the seven Ancestral Kings were like unmelting ice for ten thousand years, standing still. One of them, without emotional fluctuations, opened his mouth and said: "When a great race needs a turtle to maintain its pitiful dignity, is it still far from extinction?"

　　This Ancestral King did not have obvious hostility, but his words deeply pierced people's hearts. Many people felt suffocated, and Ye Fan also felt sad. The Human Race has been strong for ten thousand years, but today it is being ridiculed by ancient races one by one. How can they be calm in their hearts?

　　"Dong!"

　　Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the end of the world, combined with the pulse of this world, clearly transmitted into people's hearts.

　　"The strong who exchange for self-sealing, the Supreme who cut themselves down to survive, dare to clamor in my Human Race's territory?" A heavenly sound came, vast and mighty, with even more sarcasm in its tone.

　　As soon as these words came out, the Ancestral Kings of the myriad races all changed their faces and looked at the sky. One of them even shouted: "Who dares to insult my myriad races?!"

　　The answer to him was the vast power of a Saint. At the end of the world, a tall figure was walking step by step, the滔天 Saint's power was vast, and the heroic spirit was compelling, and the momentum was magnificent!

　　"Saint!"

　　"A Saint belonging to my Human Race!"

　　Countless people cheered. At this moment, a Saint actually appeared in the Human Race, supporting the sky of the Human Race and blocking the ancient myriad races in front of them, not allowing them to take another half step.

　　"Senior Xuan Huang!"

　　Ye Fan was finally relieved. The other group members couldn't help but look over. They had only heard of Jiang Xuan's name in the past, but today was the first time they had seen him. They thought he was in the same realm as them, but now they knew that the other party's strength was unfathomable.

　　"Insult your myriad races? Hehe, isn't this the truth? Which of the Supreme who are now eking out a living in the forbidden zone has not cut themselves off? The emperors and emperors who truly possess an invincible heart have already died!" Jiang Xuan naturally heard what the Ancestral King said and once again spoke sarcastically.

　　Which of the Great Emperors and ancient emperors who are still alive in this world, except for Wu Shi and Ruthless, who have surpassed the level of the Great Emperor, have not cut themselves off?

　　Even if it is to pursue the path to immortality, it is indeed the truth to say that the Great Emperors and ancient emperors who have cut themselves off are eking out a living.

　　"You're really asking for death!" An Ancestral King's expression was cold, and then he took action with a bang. The divine light converged into a Heavenly Dao Divine Sword and struck down.

　　With just this simple move, his strength was stronger than ordinary Ancestral Kings, and he had gone far on the path of the Saint realm.

　　The void under Jiang Xuan's feet shook, and even time and space were frozen. Then, the void suddenly tore apart, directly shattering the divine sword.

　　But then, another Ancestral King took action, joining forces with the previous one, condensing thousands of laws and turning them into a world-destroying divine knife. The aura of destruction swept across the four poles, and the sound of the Heavenly Dao fell, which was extraordinary.

　　The void collapsed, and the chaotic divine light was faintly visible, competing with the sun and moon for glory, and seizing creation with heaven and earth. This was a brilliant and infinitely destructive strike, the killing was overwhelming, the blood flames burned the sky, and all kinds of terrifying divine lights gathered in one place, as if to reopen the world and evolve chaos.

　　The power of the Ancestral Kings was undoubtedly revealed, but Jiang Xuan was not afraid at all. He punched out, time and space collapsed, penetrating the divine light, tearing apart the void, and endless time flowed, directly obliterating that terrifying strike.

　　Buzz buzz buzz~

　　Endless rumbles shattered the void,穿出 from the cracks in time and space, sweeping across the heaven and earth, the divine light was endless, colorful, dazzling.

　　"Is this all you have?" After becoming a Saint, although his strength is not as good as the original, Jiang Xuan still does not feel the slightest pressure in the face of several Ancestral Kings. If he really exerts his full strength, these Ancestral Kings would have been killed by him long ago.

　　"Looking for death!" An Ancestral King scolded, and six of them directly walked out and shouted in unison: "Immeasurable light, immeasurable kalpa, immeasurable energy, eternal suppression!"

　　The sound of the Great Dao resounded above and below the heavens, rumbling, and I don't know how many thousands of miles it spread. Thousands of strands of light of various kinds intertwined and turned into a fairy mace to劈了下来!

　　"斩!"

　　The divine power was mighty, Jiang Xuan gave a light shout, the void in front of him cracked, and endless void fragments turned into a heavenly knife, the power of the Great Dao was infinite.

　　In just an instant, this knife seemed to cut through all obstacles, the chaotic light surged, the fragments of time danced, and the power of the Saint Dao was vast. In just an instant, the sky was split open, faintly collapsing, the earth was凹陷 a hundred feet, the mountains collapsed, and the rivers were断.
