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.

Reincarnation Of An Immortal Sovereign, Yan Zhangwei's Dilemma

Tian Yongheng was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly checked the information about the Chosen One.

[Zhu Dong: No Cultivation.

Reincarnated Immortal Sovereign of the Upper Realm's Jade Heaven Monastery. His title was the Myriad Paths Divine King, also known as The King of the Myriad Paths to Immortality. He had offended many great Mighty Figures in his past life, which ultimately lead to his demise. But he let a sliver of his Essence Soul escape to the Lower Realm Second Great Mortal World and reincarnated into the body of a Fallen Genius, Zhu Dong.]

Gasp!

He's the Reincarnation of an Immortal Sovereign!?

What kind of realm is that?

Tian Yongheng couldn't even imagine how powerful should one be if they were in a Realm called the 'Immortal Sovereign'. He could only shudder at the fact that someone so great was actually reincarnated into the Lower Realm.

At the thought of this, another question popped up in his mind. Didn't the System once said that there were many Chosen Ones in the world? Then, why did the System only inform him about Zhu Dong and not those other Chosen Ones? He couldn't help but ask the system.

[The System will only inform the host about a Chosen One when they're within the range of your Divine Sense. Zhu Dong is a special case, that's why even though he is far from the range of your Divine Sense, the System still informed you.]

"How is Zhu Dong different?"

[Zhu Dong has the Connate Providence of an Immortal Sovereign, a highly respected and powerful existence in the Upper Realm. A living being in the Immortal Sovereign Realm or above becoming a Chosen One is a rare case. He can be called a World-class Chosen One. The host will be informed of such a Chosen One until your cultivation is strong enough.]

So that's how it is.

Tian Yongheng finally understood, and he became even more terrified of this Immortal Sovereign's Reincarnation.

He knew that the Chosen Ones' Cultivation speed was extremely fast. Maybe it could even rival his own. He had to cultivate quickly and not allow anyone who was weaker than him right now become stronger than him!

In reality, this was not the case at all. Even though a Chosen One's Cultivation was really fast, it could not compare to Tian Yongheng at all.

Even if one had already cultivated to become an Immortal in their past life and would improve very quickly, it would still take them at least a few thousand years to do it.

He quickly dispersed his wandering thoughts and focused on his Cultivation again, striving to breakthrough to at least the Sixth Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm in 10 years of time.

...

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles from the Eternal Peak was the Yan Immortal Dynasty. It was the closest Immortal Dynasty to both the Sword Seeking Sect and Eternal Peak.

Right now at this moment, the Yan Emperor, the Ruler of the Yan Immortal Dynasty was anxiously walking back and forth in the Imperial Palace's Court Room. He looked restless, and even sweat formed by stress could be seen on his forehead.

If someone saw him in this state, they would probably think that he was the Emperor of a Mortal Dynasty who was about to be overthrown. But in fact, as the Emperor of a Immortal Dynasty, he was neither weak in terms of individual strength or poor in terms of mentality.

He was actually a Acquired Realm Powerhouse who had lived for almost a thousand years!

But the reason he is so panicked is not to be taken lightly as well. It was an incredibly important matter which would decided the possible outcome of the entire Yan Immortal Dynasty that had existed for more than 3000 years.

The current affairs of the Dynasty were not very stable, as in the recent few hundred years, there were many conflicts between the various forces that made up the entire Yan Immortal Dynasty. If things continued as they were now, it wouldn't be long before the Imperial Family gets torn apart by the various factions, leading to the possible collapse of the Yan Immortal Dynasty.

The conflicts were only limited to Foundation Establishment Cultivators for now, but sooner or later, there will be Acquired Realm experts participating. If things got out of hand, then maybe even those old monsters of some ancient forces that were part of the Yan Immortal Dynasty's establishment back then may come out of Seclusion and an all-out war breaks out.

Just at the thought of this, Yan Zhangwei felt a chill up his spine.

All the Supreme Elders of the factions that helped with the Foundation of the Yan Immortal Dynasty were Innate Realm powerhouses!

They had lived through all the way from the beginning of the Dynasty till now!

It showed how powerful existences they were!

Not just that, it was said that Innate Realm Mighty Figures could cause weather to change above their head and their aura alone could suppress hundreds of miles.

And if such multiple Innate Realm experts fought with all their might...

Gulp.

He did not even dare to imagine the consequences.

And the reason why all this was happening?

It was because almost a thousand years ago, the Cave Abode of a Golden Core Realm Mighty figure was discovered in the nearby area. However, at that time, there was an Immortal Sect who had discovered it first. That Sect did not want to share the opportunities inside with anyone else, thus the Yan Immortal Dynasty ordered all the nearby factions to besiege and destroy it.

The Yan Immortal Dynasty was a dominant force even back then, with multiple Innate Realm Powerhouses. No force would even dare to disobey their orders.

The Sword Seeking Sect contributed the most in that seige, because their Sect Master was in the Late Stages of Acquired Realm. It gained generous rewards from the Yan Immortal Dynasty and became a respected force, even though it was newly established.

Yan Zhangwei didn't know much about it, since he wasn't even born at that time. And the history books didn't record anything related to that battle except for praises towards the people who participated. Not even the name of that Sect was recorded.

Even the information that the Yan Immortal Dynasty was the one behind the scenes was only known by important figures who were all at the Acquired Realm.

But there was news that someone from that Sect had survived and was right now being pursued by various factions. this was no big matter to him.

He judged that the other party may be at the Acquired Realm since he was still alive till this day.

He would probably get caught sooner or later, even if he's at the Acquired Realm.

Returning to the topic, after the Cave Abode was obtained, the multiple Innate Realm powerhouses all wanted to keep the inheritance to themselves alone, as they had a chance to advance to the Golden Core Realm.

This caused the current situation.

Yan Zhangwei could only pray that things wouldn't escalate any longer and could be solved quickly. He had no other choice anyway.

He was too powerless to do anything.
