Lu Yuan firmly rejected the Celestial Secret Daoist's urging to venture into the Supreme Origin Divine Realm, citing his ability to heal via faith power and wariness of unseen dangers and past enmities. Though intrigued by the Saint Master's inheritance, he prioritized caution, accepting only a Communication Jade Talisman before sending the Daoist away. At the Five Elements Immortal Sect's founding ceremony, myriad powerful figures bowed in homage, offering priceless gifts in awe of his unmatched might.

Thus, even with tens of thousands of Ming Dao Venerables assembled at this celebration, the atmosphere stayed serene, and nobody dared to stir any trouble.

The magnificent gathering persisted for seven days and seven nights, finally wrapping up triumphantly as all departed in high spirits.

Meanwhile.

Obeying Lu Yuan’s directive, Xu Yucheng swiftly initiated the Outer Sect trials to enlist the inaugural batch of disciples.

The foundational chapter of the Five Elements Immortal Technique allows cultivation by all, demanding neither elite aptitude nor a robust physique.

Yet, to progress deeper, cultivators need remarkably profound comprehension.

Indeed, the Yin Yang Law harnesses Taiyin and Taiyang Power—energies that both harmonize and conflict—not every practitioner can command them.

Still, Lu Yuan handed these minor tasks to Xu Yucheng, while he secluded himself anew at the Main Peak for cultivation.

Following the official founding of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, the Five Elements Immortal Technique rapidly disseminated throughout the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm.

As other cultivators took up this technique.

Lu Yuan at once detected a relentless surge of Power of Faith streaming in from every direction, akin to myriads of fireflies, seamlessly blending into his Divine Soul.

Moreover.

Nurtured by this immense Power of Faith.

Lu Yuan perceived his Venerable Mark transforming profoundly, ceaselessly elevating and advancing.

Concurrently, his presence surged with greater potency!

"The Power of Faith holds limitless applications; little wonder those Ancient Emperors relentlessly expanded their realms and populations at any cost."

Lu Yuan relished this pristine Power of Faith, a glimmer of profound insight lighting his features.

A Void Dao Saint Master must disseminate Dao across the world, etching eternal imprints upon heaven and earth to secure heavenly approval and ascend seamlessly to Venerable.

Conversely, a Ming Dao Venerable aiming higher must harvest the faith of myriad beings, fusing infinite might into unity, forging the Origin Dao Fruit to execute that supreme transcendence.

"Truly, the Power of Faith mends the Injury of the Great Dao far better than I anticipated."

"At this pace, full recovery from all wounds won’t be long in coming."

Through inner inspection, Lu Yuan beheld countless fractures riddling the depths of his flesh and bones.

These fissures embodied the Injury of the Great Dao inflicted by an Immortal Soldier’s self-detonation, resisting all of Lu Yuan’s prior healing endeavors.

Yet, as boundless Power of Faith infused his physical form, those intractable dao ruptures commenced gradual repair, fading away entirely.

Merely months later, fifty percent of his prowess was restored.

Although the mending of the Injury of the Great Dao decelerated as time advanced.

Even so, this rhythm promised Lu Yuan’s return to peak condition within a mere century!

"The moment the Injury of the Great Dao fully vanishes shall mark my enlightenment into Emperor."

"First, claim the Emperor Realm, then devise the path to Supreme Origin Divine Realm."

Resolve firm, Lu Yuan deepened his secluded cultivation.

A century whisked by in an instant.

In that span of seclusion, the Five Elements Immortal Sect flourished wildly, surging across innumerable world domains.

Virtually every domain now sheltered a branch or affiliate.

Sect disciples swelled beyond a trillion, overflowing with mighty experts—including hundreds of Ming Dao Venerables.

No exaggeration.

The Five Elements Immortal Sect’s might now dwarfed the erstwhile Divine Fire Sect.

For this very reason.

The Five Elements Immortal Sect ascended as the era’s supreme Sect, with virtually none bold enough to provoke it!

Such a colossal disciple horde yielded Lu Yuan immense Power of Faith yearly.

Perpetually immersed in Power of Faith, not only had the Injury of the Great Dao within him vanished completely, his strength also evolved dramatically!

Above the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

A titanic phantom towered amid the skies, radiating peerless dread aura.

This apparition loomed vast and majestic, though its countenance stayed hazy.

Enveloped by sun, moon, and stars, countless Law Dao Rhymes swirled dynamically.

From afar.

It evoked a Peak Immortal Emperor’s descent, its glimpse alone igniting boundless reverence in every Sect disciple.

Particularly as endless Power of Faith fused ceaselessly into this Primordial Dharma Body, its manifestation grew ever more tangible.

It appeared poised to awaken in the very next instant, striding forth across the world.

Immortal Emperor of Attainment—once achieved, forever eternal.

Able to converge endless mighty power into unity.

This Primordial Dharma Body embodies Lu Yuan’s personal Daoist skill, brimming with limitless power.

Upon forming the Dao Fruit of an Immortal Emperor, the Primordial Dharma Body will evolve in tandem, ultimately enduring forever amid the world, impervious to countless calamities!

"Hiss!"

"Did you see it? The Immortal Emperor’s Dharma Body looks even more powerful now."

"The Immortal Emperor’s strength seems to have advanced; at this pace, enlightenment to Emperor might come soon."

"An Enlightened Immortal Emperor stands eternally immortal, beyond the mortal realm, free from all bonds. How I wish to live as freely as the Immortal Emperor."

"Shh! Quiet down; how dare you speak so casually of the Immortal Emperor? Seeking death?"

The Immortal Sect disciples buzzed with fervent chatter, their eyes on the Primordial Dharma Body gleaming with awe and longing.

"Should the Immortal Emperor succeed in his breakthrough, even if ancient Immortal Emperors returned en masse, our Five Elements Immortal Sect would stand fearless."

Xu Yucheng gazed upward at the Primordial Dharma Body, his voice laced with deep respect.

The Medicine God Sect had integrated into the Five Elements Immortal Sect as its alchemy branch, elevating the rank and prestige of its leaders.

With the unparalleled Immortal Emperor Lu Yuan as its pillar, no force across the Supreme Origin Sacred Realm dared challenge the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Even a casually sent elder commanded utmost courtesy from those hegemonic powers, lest they provoke ire.

Should Lu Yuan ascend another step, the Five Elements Immortal Sect would reign supreme, unchallenged as the top sect in the realm.

Not even the formidable Immortal Emperor of Attainment could undermine its exalted position!

As every sect disciple watched in thrilled expectation, Lu Yuan arrived at the crucial juncture of his seclusion.

"The Great Dao Injury inside me has mended completely, my Daoist skill perfected beyond further progress; the moment to attain enlightenment as Emperor has come."

Lu Yuan’s eyes snapped open, his voice steady and composed.

In reality,

Fueled by the Power of Faith, he had fully recovered from the Great Dao Injury half a century prior.

He held off on breaking through right away, instead solidifying his cultivation base and foundations, channeling the Power of Faith to temper his fleshly body and divine soul to utmost perfection.

Were other Immortal Emperors of Attainment aware, they’d grieve bitterly, raging that Lu Yuan wasted such treasures.

The Power of Faith holds immense rarity, even for supreme Enlightened Immortal Emperors.

They reserve it solely for forging their Dao Fruit of an Immortal Emperor and Primordial Dharma Body.

Yet Lu Yuan lavished enormous quantities on refining his fleshly body and divine soul prior to emperorship.

An act of sheer extravagance!

Still, Lu Yuan harbors no regrets, knowing Immortal Emperors vary in prowess.

A rock-solid foundation in early stages propels one farther along the path.

Though prodigal in deploying Power of Faith for body and soul refinement, the gains prove monumental.

The most evident benefit:

Even before emperorship enlightenment, his fleshly body and divine soul reached flawless refinement, eclipsing peers at the same tier.

Consequently,

His odds of surviving the enlightenment heavenly tribulation soar, and upon success, his fleshly body and divine soul will outstrip typical Immortal Emperors of Attainment.

By then, mere fleshly power alone would let him pulverize equals effortlessly!

"Powerful as Enlightened Immortal Emperors may be, they’re mere ants against the Main God."

"Only as an invincible Immortal Emperor at that level can one scarcely rival those deities’ avatars!"

Lu Yuan’s eyes burned with deep resolve; his true foes from the start were those Dark Deities.

Immortal Emperor Nanli served merely as puppets for the Dark Deities to plunder Heavenly Dao Authority.

With a mere thought,

Lu Yuan materialized amid the outer domain starry sky.

"The tribulation shall unfold here."

Enlightenment to Immortal Emperor rebels against the heavens, seeking escape from Heavenly Dao’s grasp—such defiance heaven and earth cannot abide.

For this reason.

The enlightenment heavenly tribulation brims with utmost peril, teetering on the brink of absolute doom.

In ancient eras, innumerable brilliant Quasi-Immortal Emperors tumbled into the heavenly tribulation, meeting their demise mere steps from triumph.

Scant supreme entities alone defied the heavens, endured the heavenly tribulation, and ascended to Emperor enlightenment.

Such is the dread instilled by the enlightenment heavenly tribulation.

Victory forges immortality amid endless ordeals, rendering one eternally unbreakable.

Defeat plunges into eternal void, Dao scattering as life fades away!
