Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

Master Qingxuan's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Seeing him suddenly reach the level of a Human Immortal, everyone was taken aback, then showed deep envy and excitement.

"Is this the power of a Great Emperor? With a mere thought, one can be reborn and become a Human Immortal strongman directly."

"This is outrageous, I too want to be promoted like this by the Great Emperor, I don't want to work hard anymore."

"So, as long as you find that Dao Rhyme Item, you can receive the Great Emperor's reward and directly enhance your cultivation. In that case, I have to go find it."

"Who is this Dao Rhyme Item? Can we have some reference?"

"Didn't the Great Emperor say? If you don't know, you can give it to Master Qingxuan and his group to identify, and if it's real, you can get the reward."

"Do you all think this Dao Rhyme Item is incredibly powerful? Otherwise, why would the Great Emperor want these things?"

Each disciple harbored their own thoughts.

Some wanted to set out immediately to find the Dao Rhyme Item, then receive a reward to enhance their strength.

But some were clever, thinking that if even the Great Emperor needed those Dao Rhyme Items, they must be formidable. If they obtained them, there was no need to hand them over to the Great Emperor; they could use them themselves to enhance their power.

Regarding this, Chen Lan had long considered that Dao Rhyme Items are not something that just anyone can easily refine and comprehend.

Those with low cultivation, if they attempt to refine it, could easily go mad and perish; even if refined, few can comprehend it.

He had asked Tao Tian Demon Venerable about this. In the Profound Dust Realm, sometimes people obtain a small piece of a Dao Rhyme Item, but those people generally don't try to comprehend the Dao themselves, because there's no need.

The comprehension required is extremely high, and one might not comprehend the Grand Dao, possibly wasting the Dao Rhyme Item. It's better to sell it to others or exchange it for something they need.

Moreover, those who obtain the Dao Rhyme Item may not even know how to use it, currently only Chen Lan understands the intricacies of it.

"Sect Leader Xie." Master Qingxuan, after enhancing his cultivation, knelt down to express his gratitude.

The others observed, showing deep envy, finding it incredibly gratifying.

[I will distribute rewards fairly and justly according to the Dao Rhyme Items, everyone, go search for them quickly]

After speaking, Chen Lan's voice did not appear again.

Instantly, everyone dispersed, heading to various places to search for the Dao Rhyme Items mentioned by the Sect Leader, desiring the same reward as Master Qingxuan.

...

Seeing the disciples rushing to find the Dao Rhyme Items, Chen Lan's mouth curled into a smile.

Indeed, the more people there are, the greater the power. With so many people helping to search, even the sealed Dao Rhyme Items can be found.

One must know, currently, Xiao Yao Sect has more than a billion disciples. Although their cultivation levels are low, finding an item is more than possible.

Chen Lan took out the two freshly obtained Dao Rhyme Items, preparing to continue comprehending the Dao.

Suddenly, he turned his head toward a certain direction, his pupils narrowing in surprise.

"How did the Divine Sense mark I left on Yan Yu disappear?"

Long ago, he left two Divine Sense marks on Gu Ying and Yan Yu to protect them.

As for the other Daoist partners, it was no longer necessary, as the other partners were either married or had partners, and one even had three children.

He had no interest in other people's wives, as they were only in-game Daoist partners, so he couldn't be bothered, thus focusing on these two.

The next moment, Chen Lan's figure disappeared.

...

In a dim cave, lacking any light.

Chen Lan's figure appeared within it, and with a wave of his hand, the surroundings inexplicably lit with yellow flames, illuminating the cave.

He surveyed his surroundings, his pupils suddenly constricted, seeing someone lying ahead—Gu Ying.

Disregarding exposing his identity, he quickly moved forward to hold her, shaking Gu Ying's head: "Gu Ying, Gu Ying."

He used his Divine Sense to examine, letting out a sigh of relief; Gu Ying's Divine Soul was merely injured, temporarily unconscious, but not in danger.

But where had Yan Yu gone?

He used his Divine Sense to survey the surroundings, but there wasn't a single person in sight.

"Time reversal." Chen Lan activated the Time Domain, attempting to reverse time here to see what happened.

But even after reversing time for 24 hours, there were no changes here.

No? Could she have disappeared from the River of Time?

"Change, Yan Yu appear." With a wave of his great hand, Chen Lan altered a Grand Dao, trying to use reality-altering abilities to bring Yan Yu back before him.

Still, nothing transpired.

Chen Lan frowned. If even the alteration of the Grand Dao was ineffective, there was only one possibility: Yan Yu was no longer on this star, or even in this Cosmos.

The alteration of the Grand Dao has its limitations; although it can change reality, it's confined to this Cosmos.

For now, he couldn't alter events in other cosmos realms, nor could he even reach other cosmos, as with his current level, forcibly breaking through to other cosmos could result in a loss of cultivation.

The most crucial part is he doesn't even know the precise coordinates of other cosmos realms. If known, he could use Space Dao to teleport.

"It seems, only that move can be used." Chen Lan said solemnly, his eyes instantly flowing with golden brilliance, golden dragons swirling within his pupils.

He was about to forcibly open the second layer of the Celestial Eye to observe the past, to see what exactly transpired here.

Though he could travel back to the past to change things, this would have severe repercussions. Once the order of time was disturbed, he would be exposed before many people and might trigger numerous butterfly effects, potentially hastening the enemy's attacks and accelerating Blue Star's demise.

Since Yan Yu disappeared, there must be a tribulation in her destiny, one she cannot escape. Even if he returned to save her now, it wouldn't last long.

Forcibly altering others' destinies might not only bring karma upon himself, but also lead to a more tragic end for them, unless he mastered the Grand Dao of Destiny.

Better to assess the situation before deciding whether or not to traverse time to rescue her.

Just as Chen Lan was preparing to forcefully open the second layer of the Celestial Eye, the magnetic field around him became eerie, the ground trembled, and stones began to slowly levitate.

Chen Lan halted, frowning as he surveyed his surroundings.

As the tremors grew stronger, they suddenly ceased, as if nothing had ever occurred.

In the next instant, a wooden door cloaked in black aura appeared before him.

Boom!

A gust of Yin wind swept in, the wooden door flung wide open, an icy and eerie Yin wind exploded forth, causing Chen Lan's robes to flutter wildly.

"Such sinister aura, unlike Spiritual Qi, gives off an extremely uncanny feeling. What is this?" Chen Lan frowned deeper.

The door before him seemed like a scene from a movie, much like the Gate of Hell, especially with this icy aura, fitting more to the Yin Qi or Ghost Qi seen in horror films.

But judging by the appearances, this door seemed to invite him in, intentionally opening for him to see.

With a sweeping motion, Chen Lan sent Gu Ying back to the gatehouse of Xiao Yao Sect, his mouth curled into a smile as he stepped toward this so-called Gate of Hell.

Since it's so, he would enter.

With one step forward, Chen Lan instantly vanished.

As Chen Lan entered, the wooden door slammed shut, rapidly dissipating, leaving no trace behind.
