Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 512: The True Heavenly Emperor Heir

Hearing the voice, the gold-robed elder beamed with joy. His daughter, only forty, had reached late Unity realm—a feat remarkable even for a Chaos Body. But after listening, he frowned. ”Qingcheng, Iʼm thrilled youʼve reached late Unity. But itʼs not time to emerge. The Heavenly Emperor left countless legacies. Study them slowly. When the Immortal Path opens, enter quietly, gather opportunities… At the final moment, when the Jianmu fragment appears, reveal your Chaos Body, suppress all, and become this worldʼs last True Immortal.”

He urged her to stay secluded. The womanʼs confident voice replied, ”The Heavenly Emperorʼs legacy is strong but not fully suited to me. Iʼll choose what fits, not cultivate everything! Mastering all might limit my potential. I donʼt need to be the next Heavenly Emperor. Iʼll forge my own path, surpassing him!”

Her bold words, proclaiming to eclipse the Heavenly Emperor, made the elder smile. His daughter should have such spirit. Yet he remained firm, eyes filled with concern. ”You canʼt emerge yet… This is the final Immortal Path. The sole Jianmu fragment is broken, barely able to gather immortal qi. For this one chance at immortality, everyone will go mad. This Immortal Pathʼs dangers exceed your imagination.

”Not just contemporaries like the Heavenly Demon Body, Heavy Pupils, or Buddhist Six Senses Body emerging this generation. Ancient prodigies are reviving too. Thereʼs the Six-Crown King, invincible across six eras! Descendants of myriad clansʼ True Immortals with primordial bloodlines… even Exiled Immortals exist. And ancient sects older than the Heavenly Emperor have surfaced. The Devouring Lineage chose its heir, Alkaid Holy Son. Heavenly Intention Holy Son, whom Ye Chen defeated, seems glorious but is mere fodder…”

As the Heavenly Emperor Hallʼs master, the elderʼs knowledge of secrets was vast. Yet, despite his warnings, the woman in the Hallʼs depths remained fearless. ”So what? Even an Exiled Immortal, Iʼd suppress with a wave.”

The elder knew her confidence wasnʼt baseless. The Chaos Body was the worldʼs pinnacle physique. Most divine techniques were ineffective against it, daunting even Saints.

Only the legendary Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, combining two top physiques, could compare, appearing once in history. He knew another secret. The Heavenly Emperor had a Divine Body and Primordial Supreme Heart. At Immortal Platform Ninth Heaven, quasi-immortal, his Divine Body was complete, capable of slaying True Immortals. He was nearly invincible. Yet a Devouring Lineage heir with a complete Acquired Chaos Body fought him at the same realm. Their month-long battle in the starry depths shattered countless stars, even grinding the Dao to dust.

The Acquired Chaos Body narrowly lost, a shocking feat. The Heavenly Emperor was humanityʼs greatest. To fight him to that extent showed the Acquired Chaos Bodyʼs might. If so, an Innate Chaos Body was even more terrifying. Her confidence was justified.

Still, the elder shook his head. ”The Chaos Bodyʼs terror is why you mustnʼt emerge. Everyone knows its power. If you appear, youʼll be the worldʼs enemy. I know you fear no peers, but what about old monsters like me? For the final Immortal Path, the last chance to enter the Immortal Realm, elders will stop at nothing to kill you for their descendantsʼ sake, breaking all rules.

”The myriad clans have emerged, unwilling to let humanity seize this chance at immortality! Though our Heavenly Emperor Hall is strong, we canʼt oppose the entire cultivation world. In the Ancient Era, a human Chaos Body appeared but was jointly slain by the myriad clans before maturing! Talent matters, but luck does too.

”Take the Heavenly Emperor—his path wasnʼt truly invincible. Many foes who couldʼve killed him were delayed by various matters. By the time they acted, heʼd grown stronger, slaying them instead! You mustnʼt think your Chaos Body makes you untouchable!”

The woman in the Hallʼs depths finally fell silent, no longer arguing. Despite her fearless pride, she sensed her fatherʼs concern. After a long pause, she spoke, ”Then clarify Ye Chenʼs identity. Iʼll keep cultivating, not emerging yet, but no innocent should draw fire for me!”

The elder shook his head. ”The cultivation world has countless methods. They know this is the last Immortal Path. If youʼre not in the spotlight, theyʼll deduce traces of you. Youʼd still be thrust into the storm! Besides, Ye Chenʼs Heavenly Emperor heir status isnʼt false. The Heavenly Emperor rose in the Great Yan Continent, leaving many legacies, clearly obtained by Ye Chen. Having gained his inheritance, he must contribute to the true heir. No one reaps benefits without effort!”

The elderʼs stance was resolute.

The woman sighed. ”Father, this makes me feel Iʼve stolen Ye Chenʼs destiny! With his Primordial Supreme Heart, heʼs more suited to the Heavenly Emperorʼs legacy. His rise in the Great Yan Continent might be the Heavenly Emperorʼs design. The Hallʼs heir this generation should be him. Without that legacy, I can still reach the end and become immortal. Father, bring him back. Let there be two heirs this generation! I donʼt mind sharing resources!”

The gold-robed elder sternly refused. ”The cultivation path defies the heavens—seize what must be seized! Our Yan Clan ancestor followed the Heavenly Emperor, staying to found the Hall and select his heirs. With your Chaos Body, your talent surpasses even the Heavenly Emperorʼs. Why shouldnʼt you be this generationʼs heir? Two heirs? Impossible. Some of the Hallʼs opportunities are for one alone. Speak no more of this. Focus on cultivating. Leave the rest to me!”

The woman sighed, falling silent.

The elderʼs resolve was firm. Ye Chenʼs feats suited the Heavenly Emperorʼs legacy. But Yan Qingcheng was his daughter. The choice was obvious.
