Chapter 174

Before leaving the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone, Lin Xian and his party came again to the front of the abyss surrounded by the nine sacred mountains, bowing deeply and praying for the Great Accomplishment Holy Body.

Unfortunately, there was still no response. The vast Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone was cold and lonely, and not a sound could be heard.

"The hero is late..." This made Ye Fan very disappointed, and he whispered, "As strong as the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, can he not escape the ominous curse and end up with this outcome?"

"Time is like a knife cutting down talents, sighing at the beauty on the road to longevity." Fairy Zixia also sighed. Although she was very young and a peerless fairy with immortal skin and jade bones, her Dao heart was very cold at this moment, as if she had glimpsed her own white-haired twilight years.

Who in the world can be immortal?

Let you be peerless and stunning the world, in the end, you are just pink skeletons. Let you swallow mountains and rivers and rule the world, in the end, you are just a pile of yellow soil.

"It's just bullying the Holy Body in his twilight years." Lin Xian sneered, "If the Great Accomplishment Holy Body were in his prime, with blood Qi rushing to the firmament and ruling the great universe, what curse or ominousness, who would dare to come knocking."

"Emperor Wu Shi is also a Holy Body; why didn't the curse come knocking? The Underworld was killed by Emperor Wu Shi back then, forced to use the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure to hide in a secret realm for a full tens of thousands of years, not daring to appear. The Forbidden Zone Venerables dared to show their heads and were killed in seconds."

Emperor Wu Shi!

Mentioning this name, whether it was the Holy Body Ye Fan or the Innate Dao Fetus Zixia, strange colors appeared in their eyes.

The knife cutting down talents, the ruthlessness of time, the supreme principles of the great universe, placed before Emperor Wu Shi, the Ruthless One, and these few Heavenly Emperors, seemed to have lost their constraints and transcended nature.

"Have they become immortals?" Ye Fan asked tentatively, his eyes deep. If he had the strength of Emperor Wu Shi, it wouldn't be the Underworld ominousness looking for the Holy Body, but the Holy Body ominousness looking for the Underworld.

"On the road, all are experimenting with the method of longevity. Every Great Emperor's Immortal Path is different; there is no talk of high or low, just intersecting."

"Just endure like this, until time is no longer added to the body, perhaps then they will become immortals."

Lin Xian bowed again, threw the copied version of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art he had written beforehand into the Desolate Ancient Abyss. Although he didn't know what connection this immortal art had with the Holy Body, he had to try.

Having reached the step of a Venerable attaining the Dao, most of the scriptures in the world had already lost their effect, and everyone had their own unique path.

If the direction is correct, a few words are better than a hundred volumes of immortal scriptures; if the direction is wrong, even if the Immortal King scripture is placed in front of you, it is useless.

After Lin Xian and his party left, not knowing how long, two distinct voices echoed beneath the abyss.

"Reincarnation?"

"Six Paths!"

After coming out of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone, Lin Xian was not in a hurry to return to the Northern Region, but stayed in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland for a period of time to reminisce with old friends.

Jiang Tingting's grandfather, Jiang Haisheng, had been in the Jade Tripod Cave Heaven, keeping company with Elder Ma Yun. The two had many topics and were both very interested in the business path.

Within a few short years, the two old men had blossomed into a second spring, stepping onto the business path, forming a caravan, and their business scope covered the seven nearby mortal kingdoms.

Lin Xian had once wanted to lead Jiang Haisheng onto the path of cultivation, but the old man refused.

"I can watch Tingting grow up and see her walk toward a broader world; I am already satisfied."

Jiang Haisheng shook his head and said, "As for the cultivation world, why should an old man like me get involved? Staying here in this life and cooperating with Elder Ma Yun, I am very happy."

"Life is only a hundred years; the most important thing is that the state of mind is perfect. Otherwise, no matter how long you live, what is the use? You are just a corpse-guarding ghost."

Happiness here, not thinking of longevity.

Old Man Jiang's open-mindedness moved several cultivators, especially Ye Fan, who had seen too many big shots in the Sacred City who, for the sake of extending their lives, were humble and begged him, the Source Heaven Master, almost to the point of flattery.

The state of mind of these big shots seemed to be inferior to that of an ordinary mortal old man.

"The state of mind is perfect, already attained the Dao." Fairy Zixia said softly. Cultivators seek the Dao, exploring the vast Heavenly Dao; the Dao is boundless and almost invisible.

Mortals ask the Dao, only seeking a clear conscience; they also have their own Great Dao, this is the Human Dao.

Lin Xian researched the method of faith and had his own understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Man. Old Man Jiang touched him greatly. He discovered that Old Man Jiang's belief was very pure, almost without distracting thoughts, like a spark in the vast darkness, illuminating his whole body.

"Faith, wish power, obsession..." Lin Xian felt that he had encountered a great problem. In the future, he would inevitably have to make a trip to Mount Sumeru to ask the Buddhist Great Emperor for advice before he could properly copy the homework.

Resting in the Jade Tripod Cave Heaven for a few days, without killing and bloodshed, only tranquility and harmony, going deep into the red dust to refine the Dao heart, he had a brand-new realization of the human world.

Among them, Ye Fan and Zhang Wenchang reunited. The two had a mediocre friendship on Earth, but coming to the Big Dipper, they were precious old friends.

The two drank and talked, crying bitterly all night. The decisive Holy Body revealed his true feelings at this moment, missing his parents in his hometown.

Little Nan Nan wanted to comfort him, but was taken away by Lin Xian to eat spiritual medicine porridge. He pointed to Fairy Zixia, who had already taken action, coughed, and said, "Children shouldn't worry about adult matters."

Little Nan Nan was ignorant, watching the purple-clothed big sister leave, and then was stuffed with a bowl of spiritual medicine porridge by Lin Xian. These were all made from thousand-year and ten-thousand-year spiritual medicines from the Desolate Ancient Sacred Ground, extremely nourishing.

"One bowl for you, one bowl for me, one bowl for you, one bowl for me..."

Lin Xian distributed very fairly, smiling and saying, "Little Nan Nan, try my craft."

"Such a big bowl, Nan Nan can't finish it." Little Nan Nan shook her head and said in a childish voice, "Nan Nan eats very little, one small bowl is enough."

"That's really a pity." Lin Xian shook his head, poured most of the bowl of spiritual medicine porridge into the medicine tripod in front of him, and then gave Little Nan Nan an exquisite rabbit-ear small bowl.

"Thank you, big brother." Little Nan Nan blinked her bright eyes, nodded very obediently, then tasted the spiritual medicine porridge, and couldn't help but stick out her little tongue: "A bit bitter."

"A bit bitter, maybe I put too much spiritual medicine." Lin Xian looked at the spiritual medicine porridge with only a dozen grains of rice, pondered for a while, took out a milk jar, poured some beast milk into it, and adjusted the taste.

"Delicious!" Little Nan Nan was very happy, like a porcelain doll, squinting her eyes.

"It's delicious, that's right." Lin Xian was very confident. This was the formula of the beast milk grandmaster, the Desolate Huang Tiandi. After returning to the Shrouding Heavens universe, he spent a lot of effort to collect a few similar exotic beasts and concocted the mixed milk.

"There's even better food." Lin Xian listed them like family treasures, "The flat peaches of the Divine Ruins, the tea leaves of the Undying Mountain, the dragon meat of the Primordial Ancient Mine, the roasted skewers of the Roc of the Heaven-Burial Island..."

"Mm-hmm." Little Nan Nan nodded very obediently. She wasn't a picky eater; as long as she could eat, it was fine.

After refining a pile of thousand-year spiritual medicines and ten-thousand-year precious medicines, Little Nan Nan was still spirited, catching butterflies and small birds in the courtyard to play, possessing quite a bit of the bearing of the Desolate Huang Tiandi.

Lin Xian, however, was glowing all over. Dao patterns appeared in his body like meridians, intertwined and scattered, evolving into an array, like a tiny dust world rotating. The nine orifices were combined, resonating with the five internal organs and six entrails, closing every inch of his skin to prevent the essence Qi from leaking.

This was a technique he learned from the Nine-Orifice Female Saint Spirit of Yaochi, making himself independent of the world, like a small world existing in the great universe.

If evolved to the extreme, it could be called a method of longevity. The third life of the Feathered Great Emperor is closely related to the Saint Spirit Stone Fetus.

Lin Xian learned it extremely fast. This Great Dao was infinitely compatible with him because he had the nine orifices of the human body, which was a unique advantage that could be used to evolve the human body universe and the inner scene world.

With the help of the massive medicinal power, he inscribed arrays in his body, letting the system turn the nine different ancient Dao rhymes into brilliant runes, branding them on the Other Shore of the Wheel and Sea Secret Realm.

The Nine Heavens of the Other Shore, each layer is different, connecting upward to the Dao Palace Heavenly Court, and downward corresponding to the Bitter Sea Underworld. Each layer of the heavenly world is a unique existence.

The First Heaven, infinitely close to the Bitter Sea, on the verge of the Life Spring, the Wheel of Life rotates like the Six Paths, influenced by the Qi of life and death, named the Yellow Spring Heaven.

The Second Heaven, opened with the help of the Green Emperor's essence blood, tainted with the aura of the Chaos Green Lotus, full of vitality, with all death Qi gone, named the Azure Heaven.

The Third Heaven, changed because of the Western Queen Mother's Dao method, reaching the extreme to be born, the three flowers gathering at the top, the five Qi facing the origin, named the Five Elements Heaven.

Now his Four Extremities Secret Realm had advanced one step further, stepping into the Second Layer Heaven, the Other Shore resonated accordingly, starting the fourth change.

This layer of heaven, born because of the ancient aura, with nine great Dao rhymes and inscriptions arrayed upon it, seemingly evolving an ancient small world, named the Ancient Heaven.

This was not the end, merely a beginning.

After building the human body world, Lin Xian began to create the various images. He didn't directly take the divine spring water collected in the Desolate Ancient Sacred Ground earlier, but poured it into the Wheel and Sea Secret Realm to store it.

The divine spring flowed down from the Other Shore Heavenly Realm, washing the Life Spring, flowing through the Bitter Sea like a flying waterfall, rotating through the Wheel of Life, and cycling endlessly, rushing back to the Ancient Heaven along the Divine Bridge.

This is the Divine Bridge Dao Scene.

The immortal medicine branch broken off by Little Nan Nan also evolved into a scene, rooted in the Bitter Sea, like a world tree supporting the sky, extending to the several layers of the Other Shore, with an immortal aura flowing.

This is the Bitter Sea Dao Scene.

His eyes bloomed with immortal light, like a god, waving his arms, condensing the precious seal, both hands shining brilliantly, as if exploring the end of heaven and earth.

The human body has four extremities, which can reach the four extremities of heaven and earth, hooking the Great Dao of the myriad heavens, and can also connect the human body universe. The Dao mark inscriptions on the Ancient Heaven bloomed with brilliance.

This is the Other Shore Dao Scene.

Finally, Lin Xian transplanted the incomplete humanoid divine medicine into his own Life Spring, becoming the last Dao scene.

This is the Life Spring Dao Scene.

The four great Dao scenes resonated together, jointly evolving the ancient times. Lin Xian sat cross-legged between heaven and earth, his whole body flowing with the ancient aura, mysterious and deep, wisps of chaos Qi falling, covering his appearance.

If an ancient living being who didn't know the situation saw this scene, they would definitely be terrified, thinking this was an ancient king who had transformed into a human!

He waited quietly, comprehending the subtle changes in the human body, like a god looking down at the human world, watching the vicissitudes of life, witnessing the Bitter Sea turning into a medicine field, refining the great medicine of the human body.

Amitabha Great Emperor said: Everyone has Buddha nature, and all living beings can become Buddhas.

Because all living beings are equal, life is the greatest miracle in the world, and Heaven has no prejudice. Regardless of race or bloodline, the body can produce immortal essence of longevity.

Whether it is the supreme ancient emperor, the Great Accomplishment God King, or the loser on the Emperor's path, there is a possibility of living a second life.

Even an ordinary mortal has a weak essence of life in their body. Dark Venerables therefore linger on, blood-washing the universe, harvesting the lives of all living beings to continue their own lives.

The process of sublimating the essence of life into the immortal essence of longevity is cultivation, is refining medicine, refining the great medicine of the human body.

From a certain perspective, everyone is an Undying Medicine, but some are stunning and brilliant, transforming in the red dust, experiencing nine lives, and bearing immortal Dao fruits.

Some people, because of insufficient nutrition and encountering setbacks, die prematurely, do not take root and sprout, do not become trees, and turn back into a seed, competing to cross in the red dust, waiting for the next opportunity to emerge.

This process can be called reincarnation.

Reincarnation, believe and it exists, don't believe and it doesn't.

Because of belief, obsession with rebirth, it continues to the next life.

Because of disbelief, belief is extinguished, eternity becomes empty, one respects oneself, cuts off the past, breaks the future, naturally there is no such thing as reincarnation.

Lin Xian believes in reincarnation. If you never forget, there will be an echo. Belief is like a seed, rotating in reincarnation, and one day it will take root and sprout, blooming into a similar flower.

And the Immortal Kings of ancient times have already grown from seeds into towering trees, so they are extinguished and will not reincarnate, turning back into seeds, but turn into Undying Immortal Medicines.

Human Dao cultivators can still reincarnate and return, let alone the former Immortal Kings, who have an extra glimmer of life compared to the common people.

The Green Emperor is the most obvious example.

One day, marching into the Immortal Domain, these Undying Medicines might not necessarily be unable to turn back into peerless Immortal Kings.

Watching the Undying Immortal Medicine go from death to life is a great miracle, a method of longevity, which helps the Great Emperor live the next life.

Then watching the Undying Immortal Medicine turn from medicine to human, what kind of miracle should that be?

It conforms to the true meaning of rising in ruin and recovering in extinction!

Time has changed, and history books have long recorded that in the chaotic ancient times, there was Lin Chengxian, who probably ate the flat peach immortal medicine and became an immortal on the spot.

True immortals cultivated by this method are called human immortals, with the lowest combat power. If there is no great opportunity, they cannot advance any further in their lifetime.

But if a human immortal evolves in another direction, turning himself into an Undying Immortal Medicine with the same status as an Immortal King, and then sublimating from an Undying Immortal Medicine into an Immortal King, can he break the shackles?

Lin Xian is very expectant, using his own body as an experimental field, wanting to let the past self who became an immortal first drive the present life to fly as an immortal, finally realizing flying as an immortal together.

"Past me, you have to give some strength!"

Lin Xian shouted in his heart, expecting the miracle to happen, trying to borrow the immortal power of the past.

Under the evolution of the four-layer Dao scene, the ancient times reappeared. The humanoid Undying Medicine bathed in the divine spring, sensed the immortal aura of the Nine Wonders Immortal Branch, began to breathe essence, and floated in the Life Spring.

In an instant, Lin Xian only felt that he was also an Undying Medicine, floating like an immortal, integrated with nature, absorbing a large amount of heaven and earth essence.

Then, it stopped there. The humanoid immortal medicine did not grow, did not take root, did not... it was purely only entering and not exiting, without the rhythm of life.

It lived, but not completely.

"Is my cultivation insufficient, or is the Nine Wonders Immortal Branch not enough?" Lin Xian pondered for a moment, deciding to change to a complete Undying Medicine to plant in the Bitter Sea next time to try.

Using the human body as an ancient experimental field, although it didn't save the Undying Medicine, it greatly improved his understanding of the Natural Great Dao, having the illusion of wanting to break through the Four Extremities Secret Realm with one foot and rush into the Dragon Transformation.

The next three layers of heaven, four layers of heaven, no longer had bottlenecks. It only needed water-grinding effort to cultivate to the Four Extremities Perfection.

"One-ninth of the branches are so energetic, the complete immortal medicine must be able to take off."

Lin Xian felt that he could change an angle. The past self didn't manifest, so he might as well gnaw on the Undying Medicine first.

There are no true immortals in the world, but there are more than a dozen flawless immortal medicines!
