“What’s the deal with that dam?” Li Qingshan asked, finally voicing his long-standing confusion. He had seen that dam many times but had never understood its purpose.

Monk Fayin looked towards the dam with a tinge of sadness. “That’s built by other clans in the universe. Several million years ago, they had a decent relationship with the Immortal Plane. However, things soured later, leading them to construct the dam, blocking our passage. Since then, the experts in the Immortal Plane can no longer explore the vast universe or comprehend its marvels. They’re trapped within the Immortal Plane, their vision becoming increasingly short-sighted. While they gaze at the stars, they dare not imagine beyond. Gradually, they forget about these matters. This is the first barrier of the Immortal Plane.”

“I see…” Li Qingshan suddenly realized, understanding dawned upon him. The Immortal Plane itself was insignificant in the universe. However, once sealed off, its inhabitants lost the ability to gaze upon the stars, gradually considering the Immortal Plane the center of the universe and believing dominating it to be their only goal.

“So, now we’re essentially trapped by that dam and can’t witness the splendor of the universe?” Li Qingshan’s expression turned serious.

“Yes, and the crucial issue is that the current strength of the Immortal Plane is far inferior to the clans behind the dam. We cannot break free from their blockade. The only way out is the Supreme Path!” Monk Fayin spoke solemnly.

“The Supreme Path!” Li Qingshan finally understood. Despite all his efforts, he was still trapped on this path.

“The Supreme Path allows us to bypass the blockade of the dam?” Li Qingshan asked.

“Yes, the Supreme Path extends into the world of chaos. The forces behind the dam also desire to enter chaos. They cannot stop the Supreme Path but can intercept and kill the Emperors of the Immortal Plane on it. That’s why, when Amitabha and Flower Immortal entered the Supreme Path, they encountered great danger. I have always suspected that they were targeted.” Monk Fayin spoke coldly.

“Then, in recent years, hasn’t the Immortal Plane produced any top experts to forcefully breakthrough?” Li Qingshan looked at the changing universe before him, feeling heavy-hearted.

“There has been one. There’s a Heaven-defying family in the Immortal Plane. They gathered all their strength to break through the blockade, but in the end, they failed. The members of the Heaven-defying family suffered heavy casualties. Since then, the top experts in the Immortal Plane have set their sights on the Supreme Path.” Monk Fayin said.

“Heaven-defying family…” Li Qingshan immediately thought of Qingqing. This was her family. Her father, mother, and grandfather all died at the dam, and it was a member of the Barbarian Clan who brought back Qingqing’s mother’s body.

Before, Li Qingshan didn’t understand why the Heaven-defying family suddenly declined. Now, listening to Monk Fayin’s explanation, he understood that they were trying to break the blockade.

“Wait, did you say there are still experts in the Immortal Plane?” Li Qingshan looked at Monk Fayin in disbelief.

“Of course!” Monk Fayin nodded.

“But the current experts in the Immortal Plane are nothing but a joke. Even after I broke through to the Emperor, they couldn’t do anything to me. How can they be considered experts?” Li Qingshan said directly. He didn’t think much of the current experts in the Immortal Plane.

“Who said they were experts?” Monk Fayin’s tone remained calm as he shook his head. “The current Emperors in the Immortal Plane are mostly fake. Few of them broke through to the Emperor by their own efforts. For example, the Emperors from the Monster Realm. They claim to have several Emperors, but in reality, there’s only one true Emperor. The rest absorbed the Emperor’s Fruit of Path, controlling the Emperor’s Rule over others, making it difficult for them to make any progress in their lifetime. Their strength surpasses that of the Immortal Kings, but when facing a real Emperor who broke through on their own, the difference is huge. You can call them pseudo-Emperors!”

“Absorbing the Emperor’s Fruit of Path, breaking through as pseudo-Emperors!” Li Qingshan suddenly realized. He understood that his previous feelings were correct. Many of these Emperors were indeed weak, not even true Emperors.

With Monk Fayin’s brief explanation, Li Qingshan finally understood.

When Emperors die or fall, they have two options. They can choose the Path of Death, like the Gouchen Emperor, completely dissipating into the universe.

Alternatively, they can leave behind the Fruit of Path, containing their lifetime comprehension of the rules, for those who are destined.

If future generations happen to have compatible attributes, they can absorb the Fruit of Path and, through their own efforts, become Immortal Kings, eventually ascending to the ranks of Emperors.

This is inheritance.

However, these Emperors who rely on inheritance might be able to bully Immortal Kings, but they would be easily defeated by true geniuses who break through to Emperor on their own.

This realization cleared up Li Qingshan’s long-standing confusion.

Despite breaking through to the Emperor and defeating the Ancestral Sacred King of the God Race with two rules, he couldn’t scare off so many Emperors. Now he understood that many of these Emperors were subpar.

“But if most of these Emperors are pseudo-emperors, are there still real experts in the Immortal Plane?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.

“Yes, there are many forbidden lands in the Immortal Plane. These forbidden lands are difficult for ordinary people to enter and are extremely dangerous inside. However, as long as you don’t enter, there’s no danger for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. This is because the true experts have secluded themselves in these forbidden lands, waiting for the Supreme Path to appear.” Monk Fayin explained.

“I see.” Li Qingshan suddenly remembered that there were forbidden lands in the Immortal Plane. He had never encountered them, except during his time in the God Realm, where he had even found the Heaven-defying family in the forbidden areas and obtained the Comprehension Tea Tree.
