Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

He had once heard that the two lofty empresses of the Endless Yuankun Domain had reincarnated parts of their souls for a significant purpose, and the lord of Emperor Wu’s City set his sights on the reincarnated souls of the two empresses.

After thousands of years of searching, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City finally took action against the reincarnated soul of the Empress Yuanchu of Yuanchu Mountain. This soul had cultivated to the level of the Sacred Abyss, and the Empress Yuanchu had not yet recalled it.

The lord of Emperor Wu’s City secretly captured the Sacred Abyss-level reincarnated soul of Empress Yuanchu, intending to use the Heavenly Evil Orb to extract the emperor-level essence of Empress Yuanchu, and to gain insights into the Way of the Emperor from this Sacred Abyss-level soul, as well as various cultivation experiences, cultivation techniques, martial skills, and so on.

If successful, his chances of ascending to the Heaven Imperial Realm, mastering the Heavenly Sovereign Path, and becoming a Great Emperor would greatly increase.

However, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City failed. When he attempted to extract the emperor-level essence of Empress Yuanchu with the Heavenly Evil Orb, Empress Yuanchu located his position, directly ripped open space, traversed three hundred Divine Provinces to arrive, and with a single slap, she shattered the emperor-level grand array he had set up.

The lord of Emperor Wu’s City was greatly alarmed and immediately abandoned everything, taking the Heavenly Evil Orb and driving his life-bound treasure to flee, leaving behind even the Sacred Abyss-level soul of Empress Yuanchu.

His life-bound treasure was that war star, which he had refined to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor weapon level. Should he become an emperor, his life-bound treasure would undergo the baptism of heavenly tribulation and also advance to a true emperor-level weapon.

Though his escape was fast, breaking through the void and instantly reaching well beyond over a dozen Divine Provinces, and despite desperately fleeing and employing various secret techniques of escape, it was still of no use.

Empress Yuanchu stood unmoved, her every gesture seemingly capable of collapsing the heavens and earth, displaying an unparalleled aura of a generation. Stars emerged in every strand of her hair, as if she stood amidst a vast universe, the sole sovereign ruler.

No matter how desperately the lord of Emperor Wu’s City fled, Empress Yuanchu just watched coldly, her gaze overlooking the past, present, and future, and she gazed down upon the long river of time. She had already locked on to the lord of Emperor Wu’s City.

Just when the lord of Emperor Wu’s City thought he had escaped, Empress Yuanchu struck across the void with a palm. Immeasurable divine light surged forth, the heavens and earth lost their color, the sun and moon went dark, and even the edges of the universe were shattered, countless galaxies crumbling under this punch.

The Emperor’s Might was boundless, and the Emperor’s Palm was unrivaled, pressing down upon the primordial chaos of the universe, crossing endless time and space, shattering that Peak Quasi-Emperor weapon, and annihilating the lord of Emperor Wu’s City’s Primordial Spirit and physical body.

Empress Yuanchu didn’t expect that the lord of Emperor Wu’s City wouldn’t die completely; a wisp of the core light of his Primordial Spirit was protected by the Heavenly Evil Orb, albeit it was also on the verge of extinguishing, extremely weak.

The last wisp of the lord of Emperor Wu’s City’s Primordial Spirit light hid within the Heavenly Evil Orb, crashing down to the border between the Chaotic Domain and the East Sea of the Qianyuan Divine Province along with the shattered war star.

When Chen Xilai of Martial Emperor City acquired the meteorite from beyond the heavens and split it open with one hundred and eight slashes, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City abandoned the Heavenly Evil Orb and fled.

If his life-bound treasure, the peak Quasi-Emperor weapon, had not been shattered by Empress Yuanchu’s palm, greatly diminishing its power, how could a mere late-stage True Martial Realm cultivator break it open? Approaching it would have resulted in being suppressed to death by the Quasi-Emperor’s might!

His Primordial Spirit light was too shattered, weak to the extreme, necessitating reincarnation to be reborn. Otherwise, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City would never have abandoned the Heavenly Evil Orb, that emperor-level supreme treasure.

Three thousand years later, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City successfully reincarnated, but since only a wisp of his Primordial Spirit light remained before reincarnation and it was extremely weak, he never broke the mystery of the womb in this lifetime until death.

After dozens of reincarnations, the Primordial Spirit light of the lord of Emperor Wu’s City finally recovered somewhat, and in this life, seven thousand one hundred years later, he broke the mystery of the womb and officially embarked on the path of cultivation.

Because he had been a Peak Quasi-Emperor before, his foundation was incredibly profound. Even though he had lost most of his memories from being struck by Empress Yuanchu’s palm, the last wisp of his Primordial Spirit light retained his core foundation.

In this lifetime, he only cultivated for nine hundred years before he returned to the Tongxuan Realm, becoming a great power within the Tongxuan Realm, and every level built a strong foundation.

In this life, he intended to challenge the Heaven Imperial Realm with an even stronger stance, to become an emperor through the Heavenly Sovereign Path, and in the future, to avenge his past humiliation and seek revenge against Empress Yuanchu.

More than eight hundred years ago, he reached the True Martial Realm and learned of the Heavenly Evil Orb, so he began to plot.

The lord of Emperor Wu’s City came to Martial Emperor City, secretly killed the previous lord, and then took over his identity.

Through soul searching, he learned some of the former lord’s cultivation techniques and martial skills and gained some of his memories, understanding his style of conduct. However, to survive and retain this identity, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City did not act for the next eight hundred years.

He sat withering on the head of Emperor Wu’s City for eight hundred years!

During these eight hundred years, his true self remained stationed there, using his avatar to act, traveling more than six or seven hundred thousand miles to Dangyang Mountain to begin his operation.

After inspecting the seals, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City felt very helpless. His power was insufficient to break the seals or even penetrate the numerous grand arrays around Dangyang Mountain.

He was no longer the Peak Quasi-Emperor he had once been, no longer possessing a life-bound treasure of Quasi-Emperor weapon level. He didn’t even have Sacred Soldiers of the Sacred Abyss level, all had been destroyed by a palm crossing time and space by Empress Yuanchu.

Thus, the lord of Emperor Wu’s City decided to plot slowly.

As his cultivation gradually recovered, he began to secretly meddle with the seals on Dangyang Mountain, but very covertly and subtly. He also refrained from being too reckless, for making a fuss would easily attract the attention of the Sacred Lands, against whom he was no match at present.

Even in his peak period, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in the Qianyuan Divine Province. In ancient times, it was one of the most powerful Divine Provinces in the Endless Yuankun Domain, with incredibly profound foundations.
