Time gradually passed.

Soon, Chen Heng had traveled through all of the known regions in the Eastern Continent.

No matter if they were the prosperous areas, the desolate plains, or even the Bohai region, he had traveled through all of it.

On the way, he had seen many different sceneries.

There were many places with cultivators' legacies, and different regions had different legacies.

Over the past few years, Chen Heng had seen many unique things.

The Nanjiang region in the south had spirit beasts that cultivators used as their foundations. There were also poison cultivators who developed a poison constitution.

The various differences caused Chen Heng's horizons to be broadened.

As he journeyed, his cultivation continuously grew, and soon, he would become a True Lord and become the Eastern Continent's first in 100 years.

As such, Chen Heng decided to suppress his cultivation until he polished his foundation to the extreme. Only after reaching such a point would he break through.

Now, it was finally time to try it out.

In the Bohai region, some changes were taking place.

The spirit qi in the surroundings continuously gathered, turning into a massive stream in the air.

The seemingly-thin spirit qi contained incredibly terrifying and destructive power. If it exploded out, it seemed like it could destroy mountains and cut off rivers.

All around, the air shook as formless ripples spread out.

A massive formless aura condensed, gathering towards a person at the center of all of this.

A shocking transformation was about to take place.

Elsewhere, looking at these changes, Qi Yu's expression was serious, and he felt a bit nervous.

In the last few hundred years, the level of True Lord had become a legend.

After the only True Lord in the Eastern Continent died hundreds of years ago, there had no longer been any True Lords.

If Chen Heng could become a True Lord in this age, that would be a shocking achievement.

He would be the only True Lord in this age. Qi Yu clearly understood the implications of this, so he could not help but feel nervous.

"Please, don't let anything go wrong…" he tightly gripped his fists and felt quite anxious.

The ascension of True Lords was quite special; once one failed, the consequences would be catastrophic.

If he really failed, even if he survived, his foundation would be more or less destroyed, and he would never be able to progress.

As such, Chen Heng only had this one chance, and he could not afford to fail.

If he failed, he would have nothing.

Thinking to there, Qi Yu's expression became even more serious and nervous.

In a place that ordinary people could not see, a faint layer of golden Fortune was still burning and spreading out.

At that moment, Chen Heng sensed some changes.

Sensing the Fortune falling on his body, Chen Heng thought to himself.

This kind of phenomenon was not only affected by himself but also by the people around him.

These people included those who were close to him, causing their Fortunes to affect each other.

This was the scene before his eyes right now.

As he began to break through to True Lord, Qi Yu's Fortune was added to him, making his Fortune even more resplendent.

The faint golden Fortune on his body was all burning and began to be consumed at an unprecedented rate.

Formless ripples continuously spread out, turning into corporeal energy that was added to Chen Heng.

With the support from his Fortune, Chen Heng's chance at success was much higher than ordinary people.

That was because of his Fortune level.

On the corporeal level, Chen Heng had cultivated for many years for this day. He had polished his foundation to the extreme so that nothing unexpected would happen on this day.

After using Chen Yu's memories to cultivate and painstakingly train for decades, Chen Heng's foundation was incredibly sturdy.

It could be said that in terms of both preparation and strength, he had surpassed Chen Yu and reached a new level.

Chen Yu had failed to break through in the end, and all of his memories went to Chen Heng.

How would Chen Heng's outcome be this time?

For three days, the spirit qi in this area was sent surging, causing violent tremors.

Three days later, when Chen Heng once again appeared and walked out of the lake, Qi Yu let out a sigh of relief.

Ahead, on the clear water, there was a young man standing there.

The faint sunlight fell on his body, revealing his appearances.

He was wearing a simple white robe, which had a unique diagram embroidered on it. He had clear and handsome features and stood before Qi Yu.

Compared to before, his aura seemed incredibly terrifying.

From what Qi Yu could sense, the current Chen Heng felt like an abyss that constantly devoured all spirit qi around him.

"Teacher, you succeeded?" Qi Yu had a look of delight on his face as he asked.

Chen Heng smiled and nodded, "Mm. I was barely able to succeed. However, I still need a long time to stabilize my cultivation."

"Is that so?" Qi Yu nodded to show that he understood.

Chen Heng succeeding meant that Chen Heng was a True Lord.

In this age, a True Lord was invincible.

Any enemy and obstruction was nothing in front of a True Lord.

Thinking to there, Qi Yu could not help but feel excited, and his entire body shook.

Looking at him like this, Chen Heng only smiled.

He looked up above his head and could not help but sigh.

Right now, the faint golden Fortune above his head had almost been used up.

Even though it had been quite thin, it had been clearly visible. Now, only a bit of it was left.

Even though the golden Fortune was still burning, it was evident that it would run out soon.

When that time came, Chen Heng's Fortune would disappear, and he would become just like anyone else.

According to his estimates, his Fortune should have lasted for another 20 years, but it was evident that after his ascension, he had used up almost all of it.

20 years of Fortune had disappeared just like that.

However, it had been worth it.

He had gotten over the biggest obstacle, which was to become a True Lord. That was enough.

As for his Fortune, if it was gone, it was gone.

With his strength, no one could rival him in this region anymore.

"Let's go." Chen Heng said as he smiled, and he brought Qi Yu back to Bohai City.

Bohai City had become completely different.

After being taken over by Chen Heng, Bohai City had become quite lively and prosperous.

Even though there were still cultivators and Outlanders, there were less of them than before, and they were the minority.

Instead, a large number of mortals, who now made up the majority, gave this city much vitality.

Chen Heng returned to this city and recovered there.

After rising to True Lord, he needed to recover for a while and stabilize his power.

This took up five years.

Five years later, under Chen Heng's lead, Great Chen once again swept out, and no one was able to stop them.

They continuously expanded out until they threatened the other large Sects.

As such, many Enlightened Masters acted against Qi Yu, wanting to capture him.

After many decades, Qi Yu had long since become an Enlightened Master and was the number two figure in Great Chen. He had led many conquests and gained much territory for Great Chen.

If they could capture him, they could naturally force Great Chen to retreat, if not also force Great Chen's Emperor to hand over a hefty ransom.

However, that had been a mistake.

In a single night, Chen Heng had attacked, killing many Enlightened Masters.

After that night, the Eastern Continent's cultivator circle was completely shocked.

Chen Heng stepped on many Enlightened Masters' bodies and blood and walked to the peak of the Eastern Continent.

A True Lord had appeared.

Following this, everything went smoothly.

In the current world, there was not a single person who could stand up to a True Lord.

Those Enlightened Masters had once been peak-level major figures, and no one dared to offend them. However, in front of a True Lord, they were nothing.

Once Chen Heng acted, in just a few years, large amounts of territory were devoured by Chen Heng.

Soon, a massive overlord faction had been developed.

The Chen Heng also absorbed the power of solo cultivators and expanded its strength.

Soon, the situation in the Eastern Continent calmed down.

Chen Heng had become this region's ruler, and no one could contend with him.

After doing this, Chen Heng no longer acted and instead returned to the Bohai region, peacefully managing the territories that they had just taken over.

Time gradually passed.

Soon, many years had passed.

Within a luxurious palace hall, Chen Heng sat there by himself.

Within the palace hall, there were many runes and boundless spirit energy rolled out.

Chen Heng sat there by himself, silently waiting.

Following this, some footsteps could be heard from outside.

Qi Yu quickly walked over and came before Chen Heng.

"Teacher," looking at Chen Heng, he had a respectful look as he spoke.

Chen Heng turned and smiled, "Yu'Er. Has everything been prepared."

"Things have been mostly prepared," Qi Yu said with a serious expression as he nodded, "Those people have been brought over."

"Very good," Chen Heng nodded and walked out.

Following this, he came with Qi Yu to another place.

Here, there was a massive altar.

Below the altar, there were a few people standing there.

Those people were all cultivators and were quite strong. Their ages were all quite young.

Given their ages, these people were all rare geniuses.

They had all been invited by Qi Yu and gathered here.

From their expressions and gazes, it seemed that they were quite dissatisfied.

However, whether it was Chen Heng or Qi Yu, neither of them cared.

Chen Heng looked up and about.

Golden Fortune was currently rising up before his eyes.

Many of these people had much Fortune, just like Chen Heng and Qi Yu.

Of course, some did not have any, and others had already used up their Fortune.

"Did I make a mistake?" Chen Heng thought to himself.

Chen Heng had asked Qi Yu to gather these people based on Chen Yu's memories.

These were all people who would rise up in the future, and it made sense that most of them would have Fortune.

It seemed that while most of them had Fortune, a portion of them did not.

They had reached this point by themselves, which was quite impressive.

Seeing Chen Heng arrive, one of the people bowed and asked, "True Lord Chen… What did you invite us here for?"

Some of these people were solo cultivators, others were rulers, and others were the disciples of large Sects.

Qi Yu had used much effort to get them here, using all kinds of threats and bribes.

However, it seemed that despite coming here, none of them knew Chen Heng's purpose.

"In actuality, it's not a big deal."

Looking at these people, Chen Heng smiled before saying, "I just wanted to do a test.

"Everyone, please look," he waved his hand and a massive parchment appeared and spread out.

The parchment was very big and was covered densely with runes, to the point that when anyone saw it at first glance, they felt a feeling of suffocation.

"This is…" looking at this parchment, the geniuses all stared in curiosity.

Chen Heng said, "It's a blueprint of a passageway. Just as everyone can see, this blueprint is incomplete.

"As such, I invited everyone here to see if you can restore this blueprint. All of you are famed geniuses and have great talent, so it is worth a try."

He smiled before continuing, "If anyone can restore this blueprint, no matter how much of it they restore, I will reward them.

"Techniques, magic tools, spirit pills; anything that I have, you may request."

Hearing this, everyone felt quite excited.

As the only True Lord of this age, Chen Heng's strength and status were indisputable.

A reward from a person like this would be quite great, and even Enlightened Masters would be tempted.

If they could obtain a reward from Chen Heng, it would greatly benefit their futures.

"It's just restoring a blueprint?" they thought to themselves as they looked at the parchment.

The parchment was covered with dense runes, and the runes were incredibly complicated; just looking at it made their scalps feel numb.

These were runes from a passageway that Chen Heng had found; by the time he had found it, around half of the runes were missing.

However, it was the best passageway he had found.

As such, Chen Heng had recorded these runes and prepared to restore them.

However, it was just too difficult.

He had done his best to restore them, but there were still many gaps.

As such, he gathered these people, hoping to use their power to restore this blueprint.

In terms of blueprint, these people could not compare to Chen Heng; even all of them combined could not rival a single finger of his.

However, in terms of restoring this rune formation, cultivation was not absolute.

Moreover, most of these people had Fortune.

With them participating, their Fortunes might bring about some pleasant surprises.

As such, Chen Heng had Qi Yu invite these people over.

Of course, these were not the only people; they were only the first batch.

In the following days, Chen Heng planned to invite some Enlightened Masters and rune experts as well.

If he could restore this blueprint, perhaps he could repair the passageway and head to another region.

This was what Chen Heng wanted most right now.
