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 eldritch 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. Note: English is not my first language and the cover image is not mine.

Tian Yongheng smiled inwardly as he looked at his Status Panel, satisfied by his Cultivation speed.

He was about to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Finally!

A 28-year old Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator was unheard of!

It had already been 10 years since Tian Yongheng first embarked on this journey to Immortality.

Since then, he had undergone tremendous changes in almost all aspects.

Even his looks had matured now, he had become far more handsome than before, looking to be in his 20's.

He had now grown accustomed to Cultivating in seclusion, and he normally only went out when he was low on food. Now, he didn't even had to go out to search for food and even sleep since he was about to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But he was still not used to this loneliness. He had no one to talk to, so he just asked some questions to the System here and there and talked to himself.

Speaking of which, he had obtained quite a few things from the System in the past years from his breakthroughs.

There was a Rank-1, and a Rank-2 Dharma Artifact alongside other things such as a Cultivation Technique, and 2 Foundation Establishment Realm Talismans.

The Rank-1 Dharma Artifact was called The Mystical Flame Bow, as it's Name suggested, it was a Bow that could use Arrows made of Spiritual Energy and turn them into Flame Streaks, reducing all opponents to ashes.

It was a top-tier Rank-1 Dharma Artifact, but it was still only at Rank-1. Tian Yongheng had no chance to use it when he had just obtained it and now he was already almost at the Foundation Establishment Realm. It would be pretty much useless to him, but he still decided to keep it as it was a system reward, and no one would really throw away a Dharma Artifact.

Not just that, Dharma Artifacts were actually upgradable. They just needed special materials that some Cultivators who were proficient in refining Dharma Artifacts usually had. He could just get the Mystical Flame Bow upgraded or upgrade it himself when he got the corresponding materials.

Next was the Rank-2 Dharma Artifact, The Lightning Chain. A chain-type Dharma Artifact, and a pretty powerful one at that. It was super effective against Ghosts, Demons and other malicious and evil beings because of its Lightning attribute, and could even bind a person with its Spiritual Energy.

He also obtained a Cultivation Technique, The Thunder God Cultivation Technique, which was practically useless to him. He was already cultivating the Original Source of all Cultivation Techniques in the Universe.

He decided to keep it too, he could just give it to someone in the future.

And lastly, he obtained a Grand Reflection Talisman and a Cloud Traversing Talisman. Both of which were at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A Grand Reflection Talisman could reflect any attack and send it back to the enemy, while a Cloud Traversing Talisman could allow one to travel many miles in a split second.

Both of these Talismans were pretty useful items to him.

Tian Yongheng closed his Status Panel and System interface, closing his eyes to continue cultivating and striving to breakthrough as soon as possible.

...

3 Years later.

A terrifying and powerful aura suddenly rose from Tian Yongheng's Cave Abode, and instantly suppressed the entire mountain range. All the nearby living things in a 10-mile radius, whether they were Demon Beasts, normal animals, birds or any other kind of living beings, felt greatly suffocated from the pressure.

The aura and pressure of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

He had broken through!

At this moment, in the Cave Abode, Tian Yongheng circulated his Spiritual Energy and was about to start stabilizing his Cultivation Base as he saw a series of system notifications appear in front of him.

[Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.]

[Obtained a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills and the Rank-2 Dharma Artifact, Sky Suppressing Mountain.]

[Sky Suppressing Mountain: Offensive Dharma Artifact. Can supress any opponent and seal their Spiritual Energy. It can also shatter independent spaces and disperse Providence. It's size depends on its Rank and the user's Cultivation Base.]

[Unlocked a new System Function: Personal Dao Field Space.]

[Personal Dao Field: After opening up your Dao Field, System will cover up that area and conceal all its Heavenly Secrets, Providence and Karma included. But beware that if an opponent is too strong and far exceeds your Cultivation Base, then the Personal Dao Field Function will render useless. The Spirit Qi in this Dao Field will also increase by rewards from the System.]

Tian Yongheng was pleasantly surprised as he saw all these notifications pop up in front of him.

So, the System can give me multiple rewards for a single breakthrough or something like that too?

But what he was most happy about was the new System Function, the Personal Dao Field. It could not only conceal all Heavenly Secrets, it's Spirit Qi could also be increased from the System rewards!

Tian Yongheng continued to stabilize his Cultivation Base, and he succeeded in a week. After that, he took out the Sky Suppressing Mountain and started to refine it and recognize him as its owner. This task took yet another week of time.

After all of that, Tian Yongheng came out of his Cave Abode and flew up in the air, above the entire mountain range.

A Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator could only use Spiritual Energy, not materialize it. They also couldn't fly freely because of their limited Spiritual Energy, but it was completely different for a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.

Even though they still had limited Spiritual Energy, it was enough for them to fly. They could also materialize Spiritual Energy and use it to create items made of pure Spiritual Energy.

Most Foundation Establishment Realm experts used flying Swords to fly, since it used very less Spiritual energy and was more convenient. But Tian Yongheng didn't have a flying sword, so he had no choice but to fly straight up.

He immediately sent out Streaks of completely materialized Spiritual Energy into Sword Qi in all directions and almost instantly, all kinds of Demon Beast cries were heard.

All the Demon Beasts on the Mountain Range spreading out to 10 miles were instantly destroyed!

This was the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Tian Yongheng could now use the 108 Celestial Swords Sword Art without any setbacks.

Just after that, he started to establish his Dao Field. A couple days later, he successfully established his Dao Field and let the System cover it. His Dao Field covered all the Mountain Range stretching up to 10 miles of distance.

After the System covered up his Dao Field, a notification suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Increasing the Personal Dao Field's Spirit Qi by 3 times.]

Immediately, the surrounding Spirit Qi rose instantly.

Tian Yongheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that this must be one of the rewards for his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After a few moments, the surging Spirit Qi finally calmed down. Right now, the Spirit Qi in the mountain range was 3 times the amount compared to before.

Usually, Third-rate Sects who only had a single Acquired Realm Powerhouse would have this much Spirit Qi in their base.

Which meant that right now, this place was no different than a blessed land for those below the Foundation Establishment Realm!
