Chapter 2217: Living a Second Life: The Supreme Great Sun Undying Immortal Elixir
Historically, has there ever been a group of people who always needed to conceal something?
Numerous quasi-emperors fell into fearful speculation.
Jiang Ding's gaze, however, was directed toward the Qianfa Supreme.
Excluding the Wanfa True Immortal Child who was sealed until modern times, this Supreme can be said to be the direct descendant of the Wanfa Immortal Dynasty's lineage to this day, holding many secrets of the Immortal Dynasty.
In this current matter, the Qianfa Supreme was summoned and deeply involved, thus discovering some things and achieving great merit.
"Sword Master,"
"According to the 'Emperor's Ancestral Instructions' passed down through generations of the Wanfa Imperial Family, the Wanfa Ancient Emperor once waged a war in the later stage of his life, intending to sweep away what terrifying existence."
The Qianfa Supreme respectfully said: "This war lasted over a million years, ending only with the Ancient Emperor severely wounded."
"This severe injury greatly affected the Wanfa Ancient Emperor's lifespan; he lived only over thirty million years before passing away, and did not, like other human emperors in history, successfully live a second life."
"The root cause of this is precisely the severe injury caused by this unknown war."
The terrifying existence that wounded the Wanfa Ancient Emperor, making him unable to prevail, even nearly succeeding but failing, unable to live a second life!
The quasi-emperors' hearts trembled, shocked and bewildered.
The Human Emperor, already the strongest of the present age, sweeping through the Wu Jin Kong Kong invincibly—who could wound such a being?
"Living a second life..."
Jiang Ding's thoughts wandered somewhat.
According to the fragmented inheritances he possessed, after attaining the Human Emperor status, one would begin to cultivate an immortal elixir of deathlessness using countless heavenly treasures of the Wu Jin Kong Kong, continuously cultivating for thirty million years until the deathless elixir matures.
At that time, the Human Emperor would just be entering old age; if he consumed this deathless elixir, he could undergo nirvana and return, living a second life.
The second life seems to be the limit—no being has ever lived a third life.
Jiang Ding lacked the inheritance related to the deathless elixir, did not know how to cultivate it, but he did not care; when he became emperor, deducing the cultivation inheritance of the deathless elixir would be effortless, and the Supreme Sword Immortal Child of the Supreme Great Sun would not be inferior to anyone, even if facing generations of emperors in history, he would not fear them.
"You mean,"
"The Wanfa Ancient Emperor, due to a great defeat in his youth, was severely wounded, forced to consume the Wanfa Deathless Elixir, causing him afterward to be unable to live a second life, his lifespan merely half that of other emperors?"
Jiang Ding asked lightly.
"Sword Master's discernment!"
The Qianfa Supreme said respectfully.
"If so, these sealed and concealed histories, these great calamities appearing generation after generation, those quantities accumulating generation after generation, quantities extremely terrifying—where do these flows of life essence go? It seems we now have an answer..."
Jiang Ding Zi murmured.
Boom—
In the starry sky, terrifying Lei Ting suddenly appeared.
Rolling black clouds surged forth, emitting destructive, world-destroying terrifying aura, as if facing true immortals, mad, destructive, killing intent, and even more like in the abyss, pairs of blood-red eyes emerged, staring fixedly here, chaotic and mad will filling the starry sky.
"Hehe."
Jiang Dingleng sneered, as if disdaining something.
However, he did not continue provoking, nor say anything.
Those black clouds and the pairs of blood-red eyes in the dark abyss stared deeply here for a long time, then slowly faded, likewise wary of many things, with many harsh restrictions.
Jiang Ding ultimately did not speak it out.
The black clouds in heaven and earth gradually dispersed, as abruptly as they came, suddenly vanishing.
In the distance, Qingfeng Beidou, Qisha Sword Zun, and other quasi-emperors and supremes showed bewildered expressions, as if they had just seen nothing, like a moment of time abruptly vanished from their souls and spirits.
"Just now, what happened...?"
Yuan's voice was somewhat dry and hoarse.
He did not know what happened, only knowing he seemed to have brushed past some terrifying existence, and this terrifying emotion, as time passed, was rapidly fading, rapidly forgotten, and at the moment of impending forgetfulness, he hastily asked.
Numerous quasi-emperors likewise looked eagerly toward the Sword Immortal Child, their subtle emotions likewise rapidly dissipating.
"Nothing,"
"Just some secrets."
Jiang Ding lightly sighed: "If any of you, upon advancing to Nine Tribulations Supreme, come again to ask me."
"The matter of the Tianlang Star Field ends here; henceforth, no need to continue investing large amounts of talent and resources here, instead directing those talents and resources toward the exploration of the Immortal Dao Cosmos Constant."
Knowing some secrets requires strength as a foundation; otherwise, it will only invite irresistible disaster upon oneself.
And in the current Tai Shang Great Sun Dao Court, such a being has not yet appeared.
"... Yes!"
Yuan, Qisha Sword Zun, Qingfeng Beidou, and others felt a sense of helplessness in their hearts, deeply bowing their heads.
Just a moment—just now's various things, Yuan and others had already completely forgotten; any subtle memory or sensation no longer exists in their souls and spirits.
"Jiang Ding,"
"Is there anything we can know?"
Yuan's voice was somewhat low.
"Yes."
"Regarding becoming an immortal, I have a speculation."
Jiang Ding pondered for a long time, then said lightly: "An immortal is one who transcends all existence; such an existence's ascension must necessarily be based on an unimaginable quantity of matter, the material foundation being the foundation of all things' existence—one cannot say having a material foundation means having everything; much is still lacking."
"But, without even the most basic material foundation, becoming an immortal is absolutely impossible."
"I suspect that in the Wu Jin Kong Kong, throughout an entire era, throughout an entire hundred million years, perhaps cannot produce the most basic material for becoming an immortal; perhaps many, many years of accumulation are needed to reach such a basic standard."
"These are all that can be told to you all."
Jiang Ding's figure gradually faded from sight.
On the spot, numerous quasi-emperors sank into contemplation, long remaining motionless.
……
Time passed gradually, like flowing water.
The Supreme Solar Dao Court proceeded step by step in research, production, and territorial expansion, digesting the technology of the True Dragon Qi Luck Immortal Dynasty, accepting powerful beings of myriad races as supplements to its own immortal path, and flourishing between star domains.
The Dao Court's territory slowly expanded, with multiple new star domains incorporated into its realm every ten thousand years.
The Supreme Solar Sword Immortal Maiden remained stationed at the Supreme Solar Heavenly Palace, daily contemplating the constants of the immortal Dao universe, revising the《Annihilation of Laws Solar Immortal Scripture》, presiding over various immortal Dao research projects, tirelessly exploring new directions in immortal Dao, and never ceasing.
Unbeknownst to all, one hundred thousand years passed.
On this day, the《Annihilation of Laws Solar Immortal Scripture》had been condensed to fifteen hundred profound characters, drawing ever closer to the true constants of the immortal Dao universe; the Pristine Flying Sword completely devoured the Primordial Origin Mother Qi Jade Seal, growing stronger once more.
Consequently, the Supreme Solar Sword Immortal Maiden's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing her former self when she confronted the True Dragon Son of Qi Luck.
「Wuu…」
「Wuu wuu wuu…」
At this moment, the Boundless Starry Sky suddenly rained blood from heaven; the Dao of Heaven wept endlessly in sorrow, as visions of the collapse of the Water-Controlling Great Dao appeared one after another, heaven and earth shattered, and the starry sky trembled uneasily.
Jiang Ding slowly opened his eyes, revealing pupils distinctly black and white.
「A true immortal maiden has fallen. 」
「It seems to be the opponent of the Myriad Laws True Immortal Maiden? 」
