Chapter 260

Qin Jiang said; ever since he deduced the Qingdi Longevity Record, his path of nourishing techniques had almost been fixed, and no matter what, he could not get rid of the influence of the Qingdi Longevity Record.

As for the "other power" in the Renhuang's mouth, it probably refers to that kind of distorted life force.

That was a power he accidentally cultivated when he was practicing the Eastern Wood Longevity Body.

But now it seems that it was not an accidental gain.

"The Qingdi was one of the Heavenly Dao Xiantian Shensheng at that time, mastering the power of the cycle of the four seasons. The Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Reincarnation Hell was opened up by him and the Lord of Reincarnation together.

However, there shouldn't be any in your era, right?" the Renhuang asked.

"There is still a Reincarnation Hall, but the Six Paths of Reincarnation within it are incomplete, leaving only one reincarnation vortex," Qin Jiang said.

Although he had never seen the Reincarnation Hall, there were many records in ancient books.

The initial Six Paths of Reincarnation should have had six major reincarnation channels, each representing one of the six paths, but now only one broken vortex channel remains, and which path one enters depends on luck.

Of course, for existences above the Saint Lord level, they still have some ability to choose, at least they can preserve their human form.

The Renhuang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "It can still retain a reincarnation vortex?"

He nodded slightly. "It seems that in later generations, there is no lack of heaven-proud ones shining in the world."

In the upper reaches of the River of Time, he could walk freely until the area blocked by the mist.

But in the lower reaches of the River of Time, that is, the time and space of the future, he could only sense it through his future body.

This is also the limitation of the River of Time; the past is fixed, and an Immortal King can change ancient history within a range that does not affect the flow of the river.

But the future is different; even for an Immortal King, the future is a taboo that cannot be touched.

Standing in the past and changing the future is something that is absolutely not allowed to happen.

As strong as he is, he can only look at the future from afar and take some preventive measures.

Thinking of this, he looked at Qin Jiang. "Fellow Daoist, have you not refined the Heavenly Heart of the Huangtian Shenmu yet? That is an extremely pure essence of the Earth Dao, even for an Immortal King, it is a rare tonic.

However, it is best to consume it below the Immortal King level. In this way, you can take care of the Earth Dao and become a darling of the Earth Dao.

If you reincarnate in the future, you can directly become an Earth Dao Xiantian Shensheng in the Huangling Hell, which is equivalent to having an extra Immortal King life."

Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this; looking at it this way, it is indeed a good thing.

However, he does not need reincarnation.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the gift, but I don't believe in reincarnation; I just want to punch through everything with a pair of iron fists. Hehe, let's not talk about this; Fellow Daoist has not yet told me the origin of that rotting corpse," he said with a smile.

The Renhuang nodded. "That rotting corpse is actually the corpse of Yinming Fujun; no one knows why he died."

Qin Jiang was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this. "Didn't the Nine Luminaries Immortal King kill him?"

The Renhuang shook his head. "Yinming Fujun was already dead in ancient times; after that, the Nine Luminaries Immortal King attained the Dao and became the master of the stars.

When he ascended to heaven, he wanted to seize the Heavenly Dao authority of the Heavenly Dao Xiantian Shensheng, the Zidi, but ultimately failed. Afterwards, the Immortal City he left behind was struck into the Mingluo Hell by the Zidi."

"You mean, when the Nine Luminaries Immortal King attained the Dao, there were still Heavenly Dao Xiantian Shensheng in the world?"

Walking to the top of the altar, the buzzing sound could already be said to be deafening.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

"Naturally, Xiantian Shensheng hold part of the authority of heaven and earth and will not be repelled by heaven and earth, so they can exist in this world for a long time.

Therefore, their authority is actually something that Immortal Kings have always wanted to obtain. However, since the end of ancient times, after some supreme power took action to cut off the River of Time, these Xiantian Shensheng have disappeared.

Even if they occasionally manifest, it is difficult to capture their hiding places. The only successful record should be when I cut down the Heavenly Heart of the Huangtian Shenmu in later generations."

The Renhuang said, his tone carrying a hint of regret.

"Since this is the case, why did Fellow Daoist give this thing to me?" Qin Jiang asked.

An Immortal King who stays in the world forever is almost the only supreme being between heaven and earth, and there is no need to worry about parting with old friends.

Since the Renhuang uses this as his title, he must be carrying the expectations of the human race of this world, and the people or things he is tied to are probably countless.

How could he be willing to ascend to heaven and leave?

The Renhuang smiled upon hearing this and shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. Since ancient times, there have been Immortal Kings ascending to heaven; why did the Immortal Kings of ancient times ascend to heaven?"

Qin Jiang looked at him. "I hope Fellow Daoist will enlighten me."

"I dare not call it enlightenment; I only have some guesses. Immortal Kings ascending to heaven has happened since ancient times; if you count carefully, there are at least twenty of them.

With such a number of Immortal Kings, even if heaven and earth repel them, it is enough to suppress it; why haven't they come back?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Qin Jiang. "When you entered the Central Origin Continent from the Sea Abyss, did you pass through an endless Black Sea?"

Qin Jiang nodded upon hearing this. "There is indeed a Black Sea."

"Then have you ever gone deep into the seabed?" the Renhuang asked.

Qin Jiang shook his head gently. "With my strength at that time, it was not enough to explore that Black Sea. However, the aquatic tribes living in it do have a weird feeling."

That feeling is somewhat like the death life force of the rotting corpse in the ruins of the Nine Luminaries Immortal King, but it feels a bit different.

The Renhuang picked up the teacup. "I once discovered dozens of Immortal King corpses at the bottom of that sea area, all eroded by some kind of power.

The Immortal King essence in their bodies almost completely disappeared, and even the immortal Immortal King body became a mortal body."

Hiss~ Hearing this, even Qin Jiang couldn't help but gasp; dozens of Immortal King corpses, what is this concept? The Immortal Kings in the records don't add up to this many! "Among those Immortal King corpses, are there any Immortal Kings recorded as having ascended to heaven?" he asked.

If not, it's fine, but if there are, then it's a bit terrifying.

The power of an Immortal King is already the supreme of the current world; what kind of existence can kill an Immortal King? "Yes, I discovered an Immortal King recorded in ancient times among them. Besides that, there is another one, perhaps you have heard of him, and that is the Xuanwu Xianwang of later generations," the Renhuang said.

Qin Jiang's pupils shrank; the Xuanwu Xianwang, the Immortal King who left behind a statue suppressed at the bottom of the Xuanwu River.

However, he instantly noticed something wrong. "The time when the Xuanwu Xianwang attained the Dao should be later than Fellow Daoist, right?"

Inferring backwards from the era he is in, it is about ten million years, and he will touch the mist shrouding the upper reaches of the River of Time and cannot go to ancient times.

And the time node when the Renhuang attained the Dao is already extremely close to the end of ancient times; he should be the first Immortal King to attain the Dao since near-ancient times.

But if this is the case, the Dao-attaining node of the Xuanwu Xianwang must be later than the Renhuang.

If so, why would the Renhuang see the corpse of the Xuanwu Xianwang in the Black Sea? "I understand what you mean, but you forgot that time in the Black Sea is chaotic. That is to say, that place is the intersection of the past, present, and future.

If the Xuanwu Xianwang died in later generations, his corpse could appear there."

The Renhuang said; in fact, he was also puzzled about how that Black Sea was born.

And why those Immortal Kings fell there.
