Because at the level of the Immortal, the level of life is no longer comparable to that of an ordinary Heavenly Venerate, and the pressure it produces is naturally extraordinary.

Just as mortals face the Divine, that instinctive reverence stemming from life's origin is uncontrollable.

Yet Gu Qingfeng can remain calm under his imposing pressure, a rare quality indeed.

More importantly, Emperor Ziwei can sense a mysterious power within him, a power not belonging to this realm.

Gu Qingfeng asked, "May I ask what urgent matter brings the Heavenly Emperor here this time?"

He was very curious why this Immortal entity of the Human Clan would personally seek him out.

By rights, given Emperor Ziwei's status, there's no need for him to personally appear.

"I have long heard of the title of the Mystic Sky Immortal Emperor, hence my visit, to see what sets apart a prodigy even more outstanding than the former Overlord.

Today, seeing you, you are indeed extraordinary!"

There was a touch of appreciation in Emperor Ziwei's tone.

"Was that Overlord Xiang Chu truly so exceptional?"

Gu Qingfeng's expression slightly changed.

He had heard of the legend of Overlord Xiang Chu and knew he was a rare genius, but was not clear on the specifics.

Emperor Ziwei nodded, "Before you appeared, Overlord Xiang Chu was considered the foremost prodigy of the Human Clan. Even before achieving Immortality, none in the same realm could likely be his match."

His tone carried a bit of reminiscence, obviously impressed by that Overlord.

"However, to aspire to Immortality requires not only foundational strength but also fortuitous opportunity.

Only by grasping that elusive chance can one truly affirm the Tao.

Otherwise, despite overwhelming strength, aspiring to Immortality isn't so simple!"

"At least for now, I haven't seen anyone who can rely solely on aptitude and foundation to directly reach Immortality—"

At this point, Emperor Ziwei suddenly paused, looking at Gu Qingfeng, and shifted his tone.

"But nothing is absolute. What hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't in the future. Perhaps you will be the first to challenge my perception.

Your emergence has already stirred the Evil God Clan."

"Over at the Immortal Divine Country, there are Immortals itching to act, but you need not worry. Though the Human Clan is in decline, we still have some Immortal beings.

As long as we of the Human Clan remain immortal, the Immortals of the Evil God Clan can't act against you."

These words clearly made Gu Qingfeng's expression relax.

He had already suspected that the Immortals of the Evil God Clan wouldn't act rashly, but speculation is just speculation.

Now that Emperor Ziwei has spoken plainly, it undoubtedly puts Gu Qingfeng's mind at rest.

A guarantee from an Immortal is something he can truly believe in.

At this level of existence, every word and action carries great weight, and promises are not made lightly.

Since Emperor Ziwei said this, it means the Immortals of the Human Clan have reached some consensus.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but ask, "However, there is one thing I don't understand, and I hope the Heavenly Emperor can enlighten me!"

"What you want to ask is why the Ziwei Immortal Court would assist you, isn't it?"

Emperor Ziwei seemed to have anticipated this question, directly pointing out his thoughts.

"The Heavenly Emperor is indeed correct!"

Gu Qingfeng nodded frankly. This question had troubled him for a long time. The Ziwei Immortal Court's support for the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty was unprecedented, quite unusual.

To this, Emperor Ziwei smiled indifferently, "The reason the Ziwei Immortal Court aids you is simply that you display a strong enough potential, with a future chance to become a top Heavenly Venerate, perhaps even a hope, however slight, to attain Immortality."

"For such a prodigy of the Human Clan, the Ziwei Immortal Court is naturally willing to lend a hand.

However, the assistance from the Ziwei Immortal Court is limited. Whether you can reach the end still depends on your own ability."

"Originally, I thought it would be difficult for you to overthrow the Ten Thousand Buddha Divine Country, but unexpectedly, in the battle with the Ten Thousand Buddha Divine Country, you surprised me.

In the Seventh Tribulation Realm, you slew five top Divine Lords, and even escaped from the Immortal God Master. Such power already surpasses most Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerates."

"Because of this, I have come to see you today!"

Emperor Ziwei spoke evenly, without any pretense.

At his level, there is no need for subterfuge and deception.

Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng suddenly understood.

He had been curious why the Ziwei Immortal Court would support the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, and this explanation made sense.

Ultimately, it's because his power was recognized.

Indeed, from Emperor Ziwei's words, Gu Qingfeng could understand.

Ordinary prodigies rarely catch the eye of the Ziwei Immortal Court.

If his displayed power hadn't been strong enough, the Ziwei Immortal Court likely wouldn't have paid much attention.

But this is also normal.

The Endless Immortal Domain is vast, and even rare Human Clan prodigies are bound to appear here and there.

But when all the Immortal Domains are combined, prodigies are as countless as carp crossing the river.

Relying solely on being a prodigy won't guarantee the Ziwei Immortal Court's intervention, as its resources are limited and must be used wisely.

Therefore, only those truly exceptional among prodigies catch the interest of the Ziwei Immortal Court.

And entering the sight of an Immortal is extremely difficult.

After all, Immortals overlook the ages, having seen countless geniuses, only the true Demons can make them pay attention.

Gu Qingfeng's ability to attract Emperor Ziwei's notice, and warrant a personal visit, already speaks of his distinctiveness.

Remember, even many Nine Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerates might not see an Immortal in their lifetime.

"Thank you for enlightening me, Heavenly Emperor."

Gu Qingfeng bowed again, his demeanor very respectful.

After all, the Ziwei Immortal Court's assistance to him was substantial, a kindness he remembered in his heart.

Emperor Ziwei nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Gu Qingfeng again, as if to see through him completely.

"Your path is still very long, but what you must do is grow quickly. If not attain Immortality, at least have the power to rival it, only then can you preserve yourself in the impending chaos."

"Chaos?"

Gu Qingfeng's expression froze slightly.

Emperor Ziwei responded with a question: "In these years, Evil Gods have suddenly launched a massive invasion, are you aware of these disturbances?"

"I've heard a little!"

"Such chaos is because an Immortal from the Evil God Clan wants to undergo the Immortal Divine Tribulation.

The Immortal Divine Tribulation is a calamity of the Immortal.

If Heavenly Venerates can aspire to Longevity, stepping into the Immortal realm is a point of no return.

Every Immortal faces a Divine Tribulation every three hundred thirty billion years, succeeding boosts strength, failing means death and disappearance!"

Emperor Ziwei spoke slowly, revealing the secrets of Immortality to Gu Qingfeng.

Despite having heard a bit about these matters, his understanding was limited.

Hearing it from a true Immortal like Emperor Ziwei made all the difference.

"But for an Immortal, such an Immortal Divine Tribulation is like a blade hanging overhead, no matter how strong, there's no certain success.

An Immortal from the Evil God Clan is about to face the Immortal Divine Tribulation, and to increase the success rate, intends to wage war, using the Human Clan's Life Origin as nourishment, to pave the way for the upcoming tribulation."

"Is that the root of the chaos?"

Gu Qingfeng asked in a deep voice.

Emperor Ziwei nodded and then shook his head.

"Yes, but not entirely!"

"What do you mean by that, Heavenly Emperor?"

To this.

Emperor Ziwei asked again, "Do you know how many Immortals there are among the two clans in the current Endless Immortal Domain?"

"I hope the Heavenly Emperor will enlighten me."

"The Evil God Clan has thirteen Immortals, the Human Clan has nine. In its peak, the Human Clan once had twenty-four Immortals at the same time.

But with the passage of time, many Immortals have fallen, leaving only nine now!"
