Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope. Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation. He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Great Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it. Note: English is not my first language and the cover image is not mine.

Inheritance Of An Ancient Immortal God, Heavenly Karmic Cycle

Everyone present watched the scene in front of them with their mouths agape.

Specially Qin Long. He had once seen an Immortal Ascension Realm Powerhouse passing by.

That Mighty Figure, if looked at from a distance away, looked like a Meteor rising from the ground to the sky.

That's how great Immortal Ascension Realm Cultivators were, with Boundless might and unfathomable presence.

But what did he just witness?

It was undoubtedly the power of an Immortal Ascension Realm expert, traveling millions of Kilometers away in a split second.

Qin Long felt his scalp tingle as he understood everything.

He now knew the reason behind the series of events that just happened.

The Jiangnan Tian Family had obtained the inheritance of an Immortal who had Ascended!

This matter was not to be taken lightly, as even if the Immortal who had ascended was not much powerful before Ascension, he was still at least an Immortal Ascension Realm Mighty Figure since his inheritance contains a Talisman with equivalent power to the Immortal Ascension Realm.

Qin Long immediately came back to his senses and roared fiercely.

"Don't let them escape! find them even if you have to search the entire World!"

...

At the same time.

Hundreds of Millions of Kilometers away from the Great Jiang Immortal Dynasty and all the major Cultivation Forces.

An old man who seemed to be in his 60's was flying at an incredible speed while using his Spiritual Energy to carry Tian Yongheng with him.

The Old Man looked very exhausted as he said to Tian Yongheng.

"Althrough we're far away from the range of any major faction right now, I've used up all the Divine Steps Talismans. It won't be too long before those old monsters find us, Young Master, I'm afraid you have to escape on your own now.

We're currently almost at the Edge of the Eastern Continent. There aren't any major forces or their branches here. You can live here in any of the nearby Mortal Cities peacefully till your Lifespan reaches its end."

"But..what about you, Uncle Hai?"

"I can only accompany you here at most, Young Master. I'll leave all the treasures your father and the family left behind for you. I'll distract the cultivators of the major forces who'll come looking for you, so you don't have to worry. You don't need to look for revenge, Young Master. Just live to the end of your life peacefully, that's enough for the entire family and your parents. I'll only give you these treasures so that if, by chance you get into danger, you can protect yourself with them, after all, some of these life-saving treasures can't be resisted by anyone in this world currently. But you must hide these treasures before the end of your life so that those guys from the major factions don't get them."

The Old Man called Uncle Hai spoke with a bitter smile.

"Uncle Hai, how did my family get these treasures? And if they were so great, then why didn't father use them to save the family? And...and why was the family even obliterated in the first place!? Why are all the major factions in the world after us!?"

By the end of his sentence, Tian Yongheng was already shouting his lungs out.

He couldn't hold back anymore and was already on the verge of tears. After all, he was pretty weak-willed in his current life.

Tian Hai smiled bitterly as he slowly answered all of Tian Yongheng's Questions.

"Young Master, to be honest, our family found an ancient inheritance a few years ago. And it wasn't just any ordinary inheritance, it was multiple Heavenly Karmic Cycles old.

It was the inheritance of the Divine Sovereign."

As soon as he heard this, Tian Yongheng felt his body stiffen up.

As the son of the Family Head, even though he was a Mortal, he still knew many things regarding history of Millions of years. He also knew about the Divine Sovereign.

The Divine Sovereign was an ancient Powerhouse who had appeared 3 Heavenly Karmic Cycles ago. He had long ascended to immortality.

A Heavenly Karmic Cycle, or a Heavenly Cycle of Karma had 4 Eras in it. Starting from the beginning and weakest Era, where the World's Providence was at its lowest and Spirit Qi was the thinnest it had ever been. The world population was at its lowest too and even reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was a near-impossible feat. That Era was called the Desolate Era, the beginning of a Heavenly Karmic Cycle.

After that was the Revolutionary Era, where the world would've gained an improvement.

After that came the Great Era and The Tribulation Transcendence Realm no longer remained the top Cultivation.

Then was the Mythical Era, the final Era of a Heavenly Karmic Cycle where the world Providence was at its greatest, Spirit Qi at its highest and world population at its highest.

Each Era lasted for a 100 Million Years, each Heavenly Karmic Cycle lasting for 400 Million Years.

It was the same for all the 9 Great Mortal Worlds.
