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.

World Of Immortal Cultivation, Qin Ning Guang

Yes, he already knew this, but he didn't feel disheartened at all. He accepted his fate.

Then, he continued reading.

As he continued reading, he learned more about the things he didn't before, such as what the so-called 'Immortal World' was and what was the Second Great Mortal World.

At the peak of the Universe stood 33 Heavens, also known as The Divine Realm or simply as The Divine World.

There were myths that top existences such as the Heavenly Emperor and even the Heavenly Court was in the Divine Realm.

Even though this was called the Second Great Mortal World's Mythical Era. Things such as the Heavenly Court were still considered myths.

Below the 33 Heavens were the 9 Great Immortal Worlds, and these 9 Worlds are second only to the Divine World or 33 Heavens.

And below the 9 Great Immortal Worlds are the 9 Great Mortal Worlds.

The Second Great Mortal World was Second out of the 9 Great Mortal Worlds.

It was mainly because of the power of the living beings in a world, the amount and density of Spirit Qi, the size of the world and many other factors to decide how powerful was a world.

So, the Second Great Mortal World being Second among the 9 Great Mortal Worlds meant something. It was incredibly powerful.

Below the 9 Great Mortal Worlds are all the other low level planes that existed in the entire universe.

If a living being from the Second Great Mortal World ascended, they would directly go to the Second Great Immortal World.

Tian Yongheng didn't understand many things that he read, so he stopped reading here and went back to his room.

...

The seasons continued to change, the mountains and rivers being ever-changing.

...

12 Years Later.

*Creak*

The door of a room opened and an extremely handsome Young man walked out of it.

Needless to say, he was Tian Yongheng.

His long, jet-black hair fluttering in the wind as he wore a Jade Crown on his head, his Crimson Red eyes keep looking around, searching for something, or someone.

Suddenly, his gaze landed on a Heavenly Beautiful girl who looked to be 15-16 years old as she was practicing her Sword.

"Miss Qin!"

He called out to her, his voice filled with happiness.

The girl with the surname Qin only glanced at him and then went back to training.

Tian Yongheng quickly came to her side and stood there, watching her practice her sword quietly.

Around 1 hour later, the girl finished her training and turned to look at him.

There was affection in her eyes as she looked at Tian Yongheng's perfect face, but there was also a look of dismay and disappointment on her face.

"Young Master Tian."

She greeted him expressionlessly.

Tian Yongheng returned the greeting in a hurry.

Clearly, one could guess that Tian Yongheng loved the Young Lady surnamed Qin very much, but she was giving him her cold shoulder. Possibly because he wasn't even half as talented as her.

Not only did Qin Ning Guang had a Dual-Elemental Spiritual Root, she also had a constitution called the False Vermillion Body. Even though her constitution wasn't that rare, it was still pretty good. She reached Eighth Level Acupoint Opening Stage before the age of 18, judging by this speed, she will probably enter the Qi Condensation Realm before the age of 25. She could be called a genius.

Meanwhile, Tian Yongheng on the other hand only had a Five-Elemental Spiritual Root which was barely qualified to even cultivate.

Spiritual Roots weren't permanent and they could be changed with special methods such as Natural Treasures and other means.

Even someone who didn't had any Spiritual Roots could get one with different means, so only lower ranked factions and cultivators cared about Spiritual Roots.

But Tian Yongheng didn't had a special bloodline or constitution, which was the reason why his family didn't want to invest too much into him.

After all, Natural Treasures were very precious, not to mention they were only a branch of the main family. Even though the Tian Family Main Lineage was one of the 4 Great Immortal Families of the entire Second Great Mortal World, the branch that Tian Yongheng belonged to was relatively weak and low ranked, despite his Father, The Family Head and other leading figures of his family were all Golden Core Realm powerhouses. His Grandfather was even a Void Refinement Realm expert, but he had always been in seclusion for the past thousands of years and recently went to the main family on the Central Continent.

It could be seen from this how terrifying the Mythical Era was, where Spirit Qi and the entire Second Great Mortal World's Providence were at their highest peak and Immortals were not so rare after all.

It further made Tian Yongheng look like a grain of sand who was not worth mentioning in front of Qin Ning Guang.

The only good thing about him were his looks and temperament.
