It might not even require an Immortal King; the appearance of a single True Immortal would be almost enough.
If a figure at the True Immortal level were to be born, they could reorganize the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
They could repair the shattered Heaven and Earth bit by bit, and then guard the Border Pass.
Then, the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands could usher in peace and enjoy a long period of development.
Once a figure who has broken through to a higher level appears and the Heaven and Earth are cleared up, it would be easier for later Heavenly Prodigies to cultivate and for existences of this level to emerge.
Of course, achieving this is extremely difficult.
At the very least, in the original work, not a single person attained immortality throughout the entire Chaotic Ancient Era.
The figures most likely and capable of attaining immortality were Meng Tianzheng and Wang Changsheng.
But in the end, the Foreign Territory attacked, and Meng Tianzheng lacked time and foundation.
He forced a breakthrough, and although he became an Immortal, he was ultimately lacking, and thus was eroded by Strange Matter, transforming into a Dark True Immortal.
He left behind endless regrets.
Zhang Daoyuan is very clear about this part.
But thinking about the current time node he is in, he feels a bit of confidence in his heart.
Because he has already reached the peak of the Human Dao Realm, although he has not yet reached the true absolute peak.
He is roughly equivalent to a figure who has just entered the Great Emperor level in later generations, though of course, due to the state of Heaven and Earth.
He has not integrated the Heavenly Heart Seal.
"Am I currently somewhere between Alternative Dao Attainment and a true Great Emperor?
I have the realm of a Great Emperor, but I have not integrated the Heavenly Heart Seal, so I cannot casually merge with the Myriad Daos with every strike.
I am a bit lacking compared to a true Great Emperor, but probably stronger than those who have achieved Alternative Dao Attainment?"
Zhang Daoyuan assessed himself; he had not seen a true Great Emperor from later times, so it was difficult to evaluate his specific combat power.
But he is quite confident in his current combat power.
Because not long ago, that descendant of an Immortal King who had also just stepped into the Supreme Realm was easily killed by him.
At that time, he had only just possessed the foundation of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, with his strength having only a certain degree of enhancement based on the original foundation.
Even in that situation, killing the opponent was already very easy.
And now, he has further strengthened himself on that original foundation.
And even in this current situation, he has not reached his limit; he can continue to grow stronger.
Because the reason the Sacred Body is incomparably powerful is that after entering the Saint Realm, one can begin the re-cultivation of the Five Great Secret Realms.
That is, on the basis of the already opened Secret Realms, one continues to expand them, making the Five Great Secret Realms vast and boundless.
Only after such a Sacred Body reaches Great Accomplishment is it truly invincible under Heaven; in the entire world, only the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body can compare with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Zhang Daoyuan has not yet opened the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, and according to the standards of the Covering the Heavens World, he has not reached the Saint Realm either.
But the re-cultivation of the Five Great Secret Realms can actually be done now.
Because Ye Fan had already obtained the secret method of single-secret-realm cultivation in the early stages, which allows one to cultivate a single secret realm until it is vast and boundless.
In the Covering the Heavens World, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body has a curse during its early cultivation.
In that Post-Desolate Ancient Era, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was still the most top-tier existence in terms of physique, with only the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body being its equal.
But later, in that era, only the Azure Heaven Hegemon Body was invincible, and the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body had lost its radiance.
The reason for this is that once the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body cultivates to what cultivators call the third secret realm, the Four Extremes Secret Realm, it encounters the most terrifying tribulation.
After surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, there is still the Dao Diagram at the Great Sage level, specifically designed by Heaven and Earth to cause the death of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
That was likely caused by the joint efforts of the Underworld and the Dark Supremes in the Forbidden Zones; they inserted such a special rule between Heaven and Earth.
With such a rule standing there, unless a figure at the Great Sage level escorts the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Otherwise, in the early stages, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body would never be able to defeat a Great Sage while at the Four Extremes Realm.
On the Big Dipper Ancient Star where Ye Fan was, there were once powerful noble families that discovered a group of Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies and carried out relevant cultivation.
But in the end, it could only be called a failure, as they could not cross that threshold at all.
In the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, Heaven and Earth withered, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was not manifest, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was thin; even a Saint-slaying King of the third level of the Immortal Platform was extremely rare.
Let alone the appearance of a Great Sage to escort the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
In the original work, the reason Ye Fan walked through this path was because the Divine King Jiang Taixu, who had already become a Saint, drained all his Divine King blood to save his life.
Then Ye Fan walked into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land himself and picked a stalk of Undying Divine Medicine that was nearly complete to consume.
Only then did he recover from the Great Dao Injury in his body, allowing him to resume cultivation without his life being cut short.
And the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body before Ye Fan took another path.
One obtained the method of single-secret-realm cultivation, which is the method for the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body to re-cultivate a realm after reaching the Saint Realm.
Although it was not complete and had some areas that were not perfect, it was still the most top-tier secret method under Heaven.
In the early stages of his cultivation, Ye Fan once encountered this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body who had practiced single-secret-realm cultivation and had only reached the Dao Palace Realm until his death.
But that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was already a Saint.
And now, the Heavenly Emperor Life System has also rewarded this secret method to Zhang Daoyuan.
It is likely that this erratic system believes Zhang Daoyuan has reached the Four Extremes Realm.
Therefore, it gave him all the relevant methods that Ye Fan obtained at the Four Extremes Realm in one go.
"That is not accurate, Host. The Host reached the Four Extremes in the shortest time, so there is an extra reward. Xing Zi Mi is one of the extra rewards..."
"Alright!"
Although this erratic system is somewhat like a person, it is actually more like a machine; its words are cold and robotic.
As for whether Ye Fan obtained Xing Zi Mi before or after the Four Extremes Realm in the original work, Zhang Daoyuan no longer remembers.
This is not a big deal either.
At this moment, he carefully studies the method of re-cultivating the Five Great Secret Realms.
This kind of method, which can only be passed down orally from generation to generation among the Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies, and only between living people, is extremely powerful.
It is the foundation of the Sacred Body's invincibility under Heaven.
Ye Fan obtained it in the early stages from that dead Desolate Ancient Sacred Body who had reached the Saint Realm.
Later, when he climbed the Sacred Cliff, he obtained it again from that dead Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.
But these two times the method was obtained, it became more perfect each time, yet neither was the ultimate secret method, because this secret method must be taught by a living person to be agile and vibrant.
The method taught by a dead person is not perfect and will have some defects in certain places.
Ye Fan finally obtained the most perfect method of re-cultivating the secret realms from the Mars Sacred Body after the Divine Thought of the Mars Sacred Body fully revived.
What Zhang Daoyuan has obtained now is likely the method of re-cultivating the secret realms that Ye Fan first obtained from the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body at the Saint level.
He knows that this method is not the most perfect now, but it is still very useful.
He sits cross-legged on the ground to comprehend and cultivates silently.
The surrounding purple bamboo sways slightly, carrying a faint fragrance of bamboo, causing him to fall into the Enlightenment Realm.
Then, after only a short while, the Wheel Sea Secret Realm within his body begins to rumble.
The already extremely vast Wheel Sea Secret Realm expands toward the surroundings, boundless and remote.
Golden radiance shoots into the sky, displaying all kinds of the most terrifying and powerful phenomena.
Among them, there is an Immortal King towering over the Nine Heavens, and a Golden Lotus growing in the Sea of Bitterness.
