Various secret techniques and methods were constantly being developed and deciphered in the struggle for supremacy on the imperial path.
Just as the world was captivated by such a grand era, believing that an invincible being must have emerged, stepping over the corpses of countless enemies, leaping up to achieve the ultimate sublimation and claiming the throne of the Great Emperor.
The Big Dipper buries the Emperor Star, in the outer universe.
A vast dragon mountain, formed by the fusion of ninety-nine ancestral dragon veins and nearly ten thousand true dragon veins, stretches across the cosmic vacuum, facing the ancient life star of the Big Dipper.
At the summit of Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, atop Dragon Head Peak.
Zhou Xuan, known as the strongest holy body, rarely spent his days in leisure.
Instead, he sat upright by the Immortal Pool with eyes full of anticipation, gazing at the void before him.
Before Zhou Xuan, on the system panel that only he could see, the countdown of ten years had reached its final minute.
"Brother~!"
At that moment, a voice filled with joy and dependence rang in Zhou Xuan's ears.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one sees a little girl with flowing white clothes, her hair flying, and her garments fluttering, like a peerless fairy who has stepped out of a mythical world.
Ten years have passed, and the little girl who was once so small has grown up.
Perhaps because she cultivated with immortal energy and possessed the Ascension Scripture, ten years later, the little girl exuded an aura of otherworldly purity, as if she were about to ascend to immortality at any moment and transcend the mortal realm.
However, at this moment, the little girl, who seemed to have an otherworldly air about her, was carrying a pot of braised golden lion's head meatballs that exuded boundless essence and aroma.
"I've finally finished! Brother, come and try it, it tastes great!"
The little girl floated down and landed beside Zhou Xuan. She placed the cauldron in her palm, a vessel that would be fought over by quasi-emperors in the outside world, in front of Zhou Xuan. With a charming smile, she lifted the lid of the cauldron, revealing the golden lion's head meatballs cooking inside, which were shimmering with light and smelled delicious.
At the same time, Zhou Xuan also heard the long-awaited system notification:
"Ding! The host has obtained all the insights of the Southern Heavenly Emperor!"
Immediately following, just as when the Ancient Emperor of Taiyin gained his insights into the Ancient Taiyin Scripture, an image of an unparalleled female emperor appeared in Zhou Xuan's mind.
The peerless female celestial emperor who appeared in Zhou Xuan's mind demonstrated the Great Dao she had created for him, move by move.
In an instant, secret techniques and classic texts such as the Devouring Heaven Emperor Scripture and the Undying Heavenly Art surged from Zhou Xuan's mind like a tide.
However, what made Zhou Xuan's eyes widen was the appearance and aura of that peerless female emperor.
This peerless female Heavenly Emperor, whom the system calls the Southern Mausoleum Heavenly Emperor, actually has the same appearance as Xiao Nannan.
Not only in appearance, but also in essence, it was exactly the same as the little girl...
Clearly, this Heavenly Emperor of Nanling is actually a little girl!
Chapter 32 Nannan: I Want to Become an Immortal!
Looking at the little girl in front of me, her face was radiant and still had a baby face. She was excitedly stirring the golden lion's head meatballs in the cauldron with a spoon forged from silver moon jade.
Then look at the Heavenly Empress, who has a Great Dao Treasure Bottle hanging above her head. Wherever she goes, all things retreat and all laws are destroyed. She displays unparalleled beauty and is infinitely stronger than the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.
Zhou Xuan was filled with shock.
Her own physique was even inferior to that of an ordinary person. If she were to cultivate alone, wouldn't this little girl, who hadn't even embarked on the path of cultivation yet, have become an unparalleled female celestial emperor in the future?!
"Brother, have a taste!!"
Just as Zhou Xuan was staring intently at the little girl, the little girl brought her cherry lips close to the spoon and pursed them slightly. Her large, dark eyes immediately lit up with happiness.
He ladled out a bowl full of golden lion's head meatballs and smiled as he brought it close to Zhou Xuan's face:
"It tastes so good!"
Looking at the little girl's face beaming with happiness, Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly, took the bowl and chopsticks crafted from the Nine Heavens White Jade Wall, and replied with a laugh:
"it is good!"
Then, under the expectant gaze of the little girl, Zhou Xuan leaned closer to the soup bowl and took a small sip.
Made primarily with the ancient and exotic nine-headed lion, considered a bodhisattva's mount in Buddhism, this golden lion's head, simmered to this day by the skillful hands of a young girl, melts in your mouth.
The rich broth melts in your mouth the moment it touches your tongue.
Zhou Xuan even vaguely saw a nine-headed lion roaring proudly in the sky, running and roaring in the vast universe. Its rich flavor and exquisite taste were simply irresistible.
After taking a bite, Zhou Xuan smiled broadly and gave the little girl a thumbs-up, showering her with praise:
"The texture is rich and the taste is wonderful. I even saw a nine-headed lion roaring in the sky the moment I drank the soup. In terms of cooking skills alone, little girl, you have already surpassed your brother!"
"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's praise, the little girl, whose big, dark eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, smiled radiantly and said with a hearty grin:
"Since you think it tastes good, can you do me a favor?"
Unable to resist taking the spoon from the little girl's hand and ladling another bowl from the cauldron, Zhou Xuan, upon hearing this, replied without hesitation:
"Whatever it is, as long as it's within your brother's power, I'll definitely grant it."
"Really?!"
"Of course!"
Hearing this, the little girl's smile widened, and she leaned closer to Zhou Xuan, saying:
"Brother, I want to go out and explore the ancient path of the human race..."
Before the little girl could finish speaking, Zhou Xuan abruptly stopped.
After ten years of interaction, Zhou Xuan, who had merged with the otherworldly being, had long regarded Xiao Nannan as his closest relative, his own younger sister.
Zhou Xuan, who regarded it as a treasure, understood after reviewing the Stone Emperor's memories that his current level 12 flawless emperor combat power was already enough to make him stand at the pinnacle of all living beings.
However, the combat power of the Great Emperor, who stands at the pinnacle of all beings, is not invincible.
Putting aside everything else, if four supreme beings from the forbidden zone on the ancient life star of the Big Dipper were to besiege him, having awakened their flawless Dao fruits and displayed their flawless ultimate battle power, what would happen?
Even if they exposed their true combat strength, they could only flee in disarray and avoid their sharp edge.
Given the perilous nature of the universe, Zhou Xuan naturally didn't want his little girl to venture out alone.
After all, in Zhou Xuan's eyes, even though ten years had passed, the little girl was still the same pitiful little thing who had two pigtails, a dirty face, and timidly squatting on the ground.
The little girl is so pitiful. If she were to venture alone onto the ancient path of the human race, wouldn't she be devoured by those vicious enemies?
But that was all in the past.
The moment she received all of the insights from the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling and discovered that the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling was actually Xiao Nannan.
Zhou Xuan then realized that the little girl was no longer the pitiful little thing she was ten years ago.
Not to mention that the little girl has already reached the cultivation level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
The mere fact that he had been cleansing his body's essence for over 3,600 days and nights had subtly enhanced the little girl's physique.
Even so, at this moment, the little girl's physique is still inferior to those with naturally special physiques when it comes to cultivation.
However, as long as the sacred essence within Xiao Nannan's body erupts.
Even the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone couldn't harm Xiao Nannan in the slightest in a short time, while the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone was breaking through the protection of his own Holy Body Origin.
That would be enough to make me react, cross boundless territories, and descend upon the little girl.
Not to mention, aside from the Holy Body's essence, there were all the odds and ends on the little girl's body that he had personally crafted...
"Hoo~!"
In an instant, Zhou Xuan, whose mind was racing, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Then he finished the golden lion's head meatballs that the little girl had stewed, and put the bowl and chopsticks aside.
He then looked up and, seeing the little girl's hesitant expression, slowly began to speak:
"Can you tell me, brother, why does Little Nannan want to venture onto the ancient path of the human race?!"
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan speak, the previously anxious little girl looked into Zhou Xuan's eyes and said gently yet firmly:
"Immortal!"
"Brother, I want to become an immortal, and I want to live with you forever."
At this point, the little girl, her eyes filled with a resolute, almost obsessive determination, spoke earnestly:
"Ji Yun and the others said that only by being invincible in the world can there be a glimmer of hope to overcome the ultimate tribulation and become a Great Emperor."
“My brother once said that even with the elixir of immortality, the lifespan of the Supreme Emperor is only a mere 20,000 years.”
"Twenty thousand years is too short a time, I want to become an immortal!"
"While staying on Mount Ninety-Nine Dragons, under my brother's protection, I found it extremely difficult to even become a Supreme Emperor, let alone an immortal who is stronger than a Supreme Emperor and exists eternally."
"Therefore, I will go to the ancient road of the human race, I will go through countless tribulations, I will prove myself as a Great Emperor, and then step by step achieve the immortal path."
Hearing the little girl's words, Zhou Xuan's image of the Southern Heavenly Emperor reappeared in his mind.
Looking intently at the girl opposite him, her eyes filled with an almost obsessive determination, the little girl said:
"The reasons are quite valid, so what can I say?!"
"Go if you want to."
Listening to Zhou Xuan's voice and looking at his expression,
A little girl, radiant and otherworldly like a fairy, floated down and pounced on Zhou Xuan, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her head against his chest, speaking with unwavering resolve:
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely attain enlightenment and I will be with you forever."
"Buzz!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan shook his head slightly and sighed.
Then, the light from the altar between his brows burst forth, and in an instant, an endless torrent of immortal light erupted forth.
Before the little girl could even notice, they surged toward the bronze mask she carried with her and the bronze ring she wore around her neck.
In a short while, the ancient, unadorned, even rough bronze mask and bronze ring slowly revealed ultimate imperial runes.
After the imperial inscription appeared, personally adding an extra layer of protection for the little girl's safety, Zhou Xuan finally spoke:
"Brother believes in you. Brother is waiting for my little girl in the Big Dipper. She will undergo the ultimate transformation and become an unparalleled empress!"
