Chapter 1157

Su Xuan could not understand the symbols on the Heavenly Star, nor could he understand this strange writing.

But the mystery of the Heavenly Star had indeed been fathomed by him.

The energy inside the Heavenly Star contains incomparably powerful vitality.

If one were to compare this vitality at the core to a host, then the surrounding fragments are signal collectors. If one could implant the surrounding fragments into the human body, the human body would be constantly radiated by the powerful energy of the core because of the fragments in the body.

The so-called immortality is actually just a side effect brought about by this radiation.

By using powerful force to constantly stimulate the vitality of human cells, it allows people to survive for a long time.

This kind of immortality is clearly somewhat unique.

The great power that makes the human body immortal does not come from itself but originates from the outside world.

But even so, this Heavenly Star still gave Su Xuan a lot of inspiration.

In the past, he observed the scene of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden saving the world from the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book, and from it, he realized half of the method of "bringing the dead back to life." It was precisely by relying on this half-method of bringing the dead back to life that in the battle of Loulan, his body was destroyed by Did Chi You, but as long as his vitality was not cut off, he could still achieve body reconstruction, which could be called half an immortal body.

Later, as his strength advanced, he achieved the Primordial Spirit and stepped into the Mysterious Penetration Realm, and his perception of the Dao of life and death became deeper. As long as a person had just died, the soul had not left the body, and the vitality of the flesh had not completely dissipated, he could save them back. The most significant examples were Lu Su, who died from the plague, and Yu Shu, who died by suicide.

At this moment, after comprehending the Heavenly Star, he had some new insights into the method of bringing the dead back to life.

At the same time, Su Xuan also gradually discovered another drawback of obtaining immortality from the Heavenly Star.

In the past, he thought that this kind of immortality was limited to the Heavenly Star, and once the Heavenly Star was shattered, one would die because of it, so just guarding the Heavenly Star would be enough. But as his comprehension of the energy inside the Heavenly Star deepened, Su Xuan discovered new problems.

"The power of the Heavenly Star is enough to affect the surrounding magnetic field. This power is incomparably powerful. If one only uses a tiny bit of debris and borrows a part of its power, one can indeed achieve immortality, but if one borrows too much power, that powerful force will cause the human body to mutate directly. In serious cases, one will explode and die on the spot because one cannot withstand that powerful force; in mild cases, one will develop in a non-human direction..."

"From this perspective, in the original work, Cui Wenzi only using Heavenly Star debris to refine the elixir of immortality was actually the correct approach."

"Because humans are too small, the energy drawn by the debris is already enough for humans to obtain immortality; if the energy drawn is too huge, it is actually a bad thing."

The reason Su Xuan was able to reach such a conclusion was naturally because he drew out a portion of the Heavenly Star's power and then introduced it into his own body. In just that instant, one of his arms directly mutated.

Many strange tumors appeared on it. If it weren't for Su Xuan's profound strength, which used the power of the Primordial Spirit to vent this energy, and then used medical skills to regulate this arm, in that instant, this arm would have been basically ruined.

In the end, it was because this body of Su Xuan was only temporarily inhabited and was not his own original body.

Even though Su Xuan had been constantly using medicinal herbs to regulate this body over these years, it only made this body far exceed that of ordinary people. After all, he would leave this world sooner or later, and Su Xuan did not over-regulate it, spending all his time on cultivation.

If it were Su Xuan's own body, no matter how powerful the power in the Heavenly Star was, he could easily carry it.

"It's a bit like nuclear radiation!"

After experiencing the power of the Heavenly Star personally, Su Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Because cells are affected by radiation, they then divide crazily, giving the human body endless vitality, thus achieving immortality... but if the frequency of division is too fast, fast to the point where the human body cannot bear it, it will cause the human body to mutate and then die."

"Of course, it is still somewhat different from nuclear radiation. Nuclear radiation causes permanent deformity once radiated, while the Heavenly Star is not; once the Heavenly Star is shattered, the affected human body will also wither."

"Looking at it this way, this Heavenly Star is like a Gu."

"The Heavenly Star is the Gu mother, and the elixir of immortality refined from Heavenly Star fragments is the Gu worm; after the Gu mother dies, the Gu worm in the human body will also perish because of it..."

In the palace, Su Xuan kept researching the Heavenly Star.

He wanted to trace the source of this energy and study the nature of this energy.

He studied day and night, appearing to be full of interest, without any sense of fatigue.

In his own world, although there were also meteorites descending, that was a matter of the ancient era, and that meteorite had already been refined into the Did Chi You Sword by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and the scraps had been refined into the Soldier God.

This world is different; this Heavenly Star has only just descended and is still very fresh.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

When the Heavenly Star descended, it was the 36th year of the First Emperor, and after a few more months, in the blink of an eye, it was the 37th year of the First Emperor. If it were according to normal history, this would also be the last year of the First Emperor's life.

But the Qin Emperor of this world, because Seeing Ying Zheng crossed over and took over this body, plus the fact that Su Xuan had regulated his body, was now full of vitality. Looking at the situation, if there were no accidents, he could still live for a long time.

In the end, even in the 36th year of the First Emperor, Seeing Ying Zheng was only forty-nine years old, not even reaching the age of destiny.

"Has the National Master finished his seclusion?"

Seeing Ying Zheng looked at Su Xuan coming out of seclusion and appeared somewhat surprised.

He thought that Su Xuan would have to comprehend the Heavenly Star for a year or a half.

As a result, he did not expect Su Xuan to finish his comprehension so quickly. You must know, in the past, every time Su Xuan went into seclusion, it would take a year or two.

"I have comprehended the mystery of the Heavenly Star completely. I have to say, this stone is quite remarkable." Su Xuan said to Seeing Ying Zheng, "Next, we will just wait for Cui Wenzi to finish refining the elixir of immortality."

"Before we return, Your Majesty can take an elixir of immortality and experience its mystery."

Seeing Ying Zheng nodded.

Although the elixir of immortality refined by Cui Wenzi could only work in this world, and the Heavenly Star could not be shattered, it was still an elixir of immortality after all. Seeing Ying Zheng was indeed prepared to take it and experience its efficacy.
