The Peak, the summit of a realm!

Yet...

Having already ascended to the peak signifies that there is no path forward.

But what if one wishes to continue onward?

Take the sky as the marker, oneself as the peak, the multitude of living beings as the steps below, and with an ambition that soars above the clouds, pave the way for all living beings!

If the world has no such path, then I shall carve one out myself.

This is the path that the strong figures of the conventional world pursue.

Celestial Profound forbids it!

Celestial Profound has a predetermined path chosen for all beings, and if you refuse to follow it and instead open another path, you become the enemy of all living beings.

To oppose the multitude with just one person.

Can it be done?

Yes!

Celestial Profound never lacks those who wish to suppress all living beings with their power and thereby open another path!

Unfortunately.

Yimiao failed.

Huayu compromised.

Until now, this position might fall upon Chen Zhixing.

If he were to act in such a manner, then the world would evolve to produce someone to counter him, and at the moment of his imminent success, they would crush his ambitions with the force of a mountain.

Just as Huayu did to Yimiao.

As for Yimiao?

Her legendary experiences are indeed worthy of being the protagonist of her era!

She was born at the end of the era of the decline of the Divine Court, just as she began to shine, consuming the essence of the Chaos Beast at the moment of its death, the Chaos Beast of the Emperor Venerable.

Absorbing the essence of Chaos, she proceeded with fearless resolve against the heavens, nearly leading the then not-so-strong Daluo Taoist Lands to the status it holds today, subduing the world for three thousand years with her power alone, truly having the prospect of accomplishing the feat of opening a path for all living beings.

Had it not been so.

She would not have encountered so many favored children of heaven in her lifetime, who were willing to become her allies, her wings, her claws and fangs.

Unfortunately.

The world would not allow it.

Regrettably.

Huayu emerged.

At her most glorious, most pinnacle, and most flourishing moment, he struck her down from the divine altar, severing her delusions of opening another path!

From then on, the remarkable woman's era ended, her wings scattered, and there was no longer such a brilliant female sovereign in the world, leaving only a Daluo Saint Master.

If it were the Yimiao of those flourishing three thousand years, if it were the Yimiao who could encompass even the Star Realm pathway envisioned by Chen Changfeng, if it were the extraordinary woman who once said, 'Let the Emperor Venerable revive, let the myriad paths manifest, let the Divine Bird emerge, let the turmoil in the world's forbidden zones, I will bear it all on my shoulders,' what would the world be like today?

Probably not very well.

After all, a world governed by the strong is the doomsday of the mundane.

But, perhaps not necessarily, wouldn't you agree?

...

Emperor's Foot Mountain, Sitting Forget Peak.

True Monarch Yimiao, lounging lazily above the sea of clouds, opened one eye from within a fluffy mass.

"Ah, finally noticed, huh."

As a mischievous boy reached the end of his path, True Monarch Yimiao felt in a jovial mood, with a hint of sarcastic observation.

A woman always bears grudges.

Especially against those who have offended her and have yet to receive retaliation.

The deepest memories linger.

Now, noticing someone about to make a fool of themselves, she naturally relishes the thought of some mockery.

Or perhaps.

The reason she didn't pursue Chen Zhixing to the death in the past, and even ignored his meddling with her Earth Vein, was to await this amusing scene today?

"Let's go, Little Hua, let's see that little rascal."

As the woman spoke.

The flower bear she was nestled in awoke from a confused sleep, then began roaring with excitement amidst the mountain's trembling.

So, why is it called Sitting Forget Peak?

Mountain collapse.

On Emperor's Foot Mountain, as the stone shell of the seemingly humble hundred-meter Sitting Forget Peak peeled away, a massive flower bear broke free, as if a soul returning to the body, wobbling its way toward Cloud Peak.

A Longevity Realm flower bear?

Hmm, a Moon Bear.

...

On the shores of the East Sea.

In front of the life-and-death chess game on Mount Yandang.

Sensing a shift in some kind of energy, Li Er reluctantly put away the chess pieces before him.

A millennia of games against oneself.

The sole desire was to bind his heart.

To neither listen, nor see, nor think.

Yet even so, this world has not abandoned its thoughts of him; the person destined to counter him in this lifetime is also the descendant of the only one he owed.

"Is this the destiny evolved by the Heavenly Dao?"

He grew weary of it.

He had already drawn a line and surrendered nearly a millennium ago, but why does this world still refuse to let him be?

"The world's number one, huh, what is there to strive for in that title? If you won't allow it, then take it, why disturb my peace of mind."

After saying this, he reopened a game.

Hmm, he had no intention of meeting Chen Zhixing.

Not some nonsense about kings not meeting, but simply lacking the motivation to make the trip.

Just like he said.

The world's number one?

Take it, I care not!

Li Er has never been concerned with it!

...

Interestingly, across the entire East Profound, there are no less than fifty Longevity Cultivators, yet only Yimiao and Huayu, these two former summit-reachers, have sensed the emergence of a Peak figure.

Others, if they see, might recognize at a glance like the golden roc.

But if they do not see, they're unaware of the presence of such a figure in this world.

A rather intriguing form of perception, isn't it?

More interesting is that after Chen Zhixing took that step, Shi Hao by Gan State Moon Lake seemed aware of something, thoughtfully raising his head in the direction of Chen Zhixing.

"The master is over there? Eh, how do I know that? Is this... my awakened Divine Technique?"

Realizing this, Shi Hao's expression turned exceptionally strange, quietly cursing at what kind of cursed Divine Technique he had awakened.

Not something as substantial as the master's Instantaneous Creation or Instantaneous Manipulation; at least something practical!
