Chapter 207: 【Supreme Number Like a Sow Giving Birth】
"Thump, thump..."
The Green Emperor's heart jumped in Gai Jiuyou's chest, bringing exuberant vitality, making a trace of redness appear on the sickly old man's face.
The sound of blood flowing echoed in the dry body, and as time passed, it became more and more like a river roaring, like thunder, deafening.
Gai Jiuyou straightened his waist, standing tall, emitting sky-high aura, like a god opening heaven and earth. The sparse white hair began to turn into black hair, draped over his shoulders, peerless and elegant, no longer old.
"Is this the Dao wound repaired?"
Lin Xian was stunned. Is the Green Emperor heart so fierce? I'll have two pounds to taste another day. The few drops of essence blood used for foundation building were too little, and I didn't taste the flavor.
"It hasn't been completely resolved." Gai Jiuyou coughed violently, with such force that it seemed he was going to cough out his heart and lungs, but fortunately, he finally suppressed it and stabilized his state.
His Dao wounds were still there, but relying on the surging blood energy of the Green Emperor heart, he regained his vitality and returned to the realm that should have belonged to him.
An alternative attainer of the Dao can compare to a Great Emperor and can live for ten thousand years. Nine thousand years old is not Gai Jiuyou's limit. He should have had a lifespan of one thousand years, just in his twilight years, not reaching the point of being on the verge of passing away.
It was only because he failed to impact the Great Emperor, suffered Dao wounds, and his blood energy declined, that he looked so old.
A true strong person can still maintain invincible combat power in the last second of passing away.
Just like the Mars Holy Body, he could drag a Supreme to be buried with him in his later years, so no ominous dared to look for him.
And like the Saint Cliff Holy Body, he couldn't do this, his combat power declined in his later years, and he was retaliated against by the Undying Daoist, leading to an ominous and miserable death.
This is the difference between preliminary alternative attaining the Dao and thorough alternative attaining the Dao.
Lin Xian's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked: "Can you enter the life forbidden zone?"
An alternative attainer of the Dao, plus six Emperor weapons—this lineup can be called luxurious, enough to sweep the universe, and can consider the matter of enemies from the sky.
"Supremes also have Emperor weapons."
Gai Jiuyou shook his head, sighed, looked toward the Eastern Wilderness, and murmured: "No one knows how many Supremes are in the forbidden zone."
A Supreme launching dark turmoil, a strong person of the current age going to pacify it, and an alternative attainer of the Dao going deep into the forbidden zone are two completely different concepts.
The former belongs to the periodic cycle of the dragon slayer eventually becoming an evil dragon, and it is the unspoken rule defaulted by the life forbidden zone and the Great Emperor of the current age.
You come out to forage, offend the Great Emperor of the current age, violate the territory of the attainer of the Dao, and are beaten to death—life and death are irrelevant. The life forbidden zone will not avenge the Supreme who came out. If you die, you die.
Everyone is a fellow Daoist who came for immortality, not a comrade-in-arms who lives and dies together. The ultimate goal is the road to immortality.
The latter is directly provoking a forbidden zone. If there are only one or two Supremes, it's fine, but now the road to immortality has not opened, and the Supremes have not been consumed, all in groups of three or five.
"The Supremes of the Undying Mountain are the fewest. It is the core area where the Great Emperors of the past pacified turmoil. The Void Great Emperor killed more than one Undying Mountain Supreme, and in his later years, he dragged two to be buried with him."
"Now the Supremes of the Undying Mountain should only have three or four. The Supremes of the Primordial Ancient Mine are the most, and there should be more than ten."
Lin Xian pondered, and told his information to Gai Jiuyou, discussing with Gai Jiuyou which life forbidden zone was the weakest.
"More than ten, like a sow giving birth." Hearing the number of Supremes in the Primordial Ancient Mine, even Gai Jiuyou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but explode a foul language.
More than a dozen Great Emperors sublimating together, I'm afraid the entire universe would be destroyed.
"The Primordial Ancient Mine, this life forbidden zone is a bit special. It was once the location of the Primordial Order, not all dark Supremes."
Lin Xian popularized science for Gai Jiuyou. This immortal land was not a life forbidden zone at first, just a habitat for Ancient Emperors after self-slashing. The strongest few royal clans in the Primordial Era and the royal clans holding the Ancient Emperor order could enter and communicate with the ancestors who were dormant.
In a word, in the Primordial Era, the Primordial Ancient Mine was the United Nations of the Primordial Myriad Races. One Supreme represented one royal seat, jointly dividing the Primordial Order, which can be called the Divine Court.
As time passed, the Ancient Emperors in the Primordial Ancient Mine gradually couldn't hold on. This time, two factions appeared.
A part of the Ancient Emperors, in order not to launch dark turmoil, sealed themselves to the deepest level, reducing consumption, ignoring anything in the outside world, just waiting for the road to immortality to open.
Another part of the Ancient Emperors chose to launch dark turmoil, making the Primordial Ancient Mine gradually become a life forbidden zone in the Desolate Ancient Era.
"Time is like a knife cutting geniuses. Cultivating for a lifetime, just for this?" Gai Jiuyou sighed: "It's all because of attaining immortality."
Most of the disasters and ominousness in the world arise from the pursuit of longevity.
Is it right? Is it wrong! Outsiders cannot comment. As the saying goes, one knows the warmth and coldness of drinking water.
Lin Xian then took stock of the four major life forbidden zones—Shangcang, Divine Ruins, Immortal Mausoleum, and Reincarnation Sea. If you add the Underworld, then the number of dark Supremes is more than thirty, very likely approaching the forty mark!
Hearing this, Gai Jiuyou only felt his scalp tingling. The previous desire to sweep the Supremes and return to his own spirit was collected a bit, and he pondered: "We still have to plan from a long-term perspective."
No wonder the Green Emperor, Emperor Wu Shi, and the Ruthless Emperor, several Heavenly Emperors, did not eradicate the life forbidden zone in one breath and solve the trouble for later generations.
It's not that they don't want to, but they really can't do it. The price is too great.
Now there are thirty or forty Supremes. Then before the Desolate Ancient Era, how many were there?
Counting those who passed away naturally, those killed by the Great Emperors of the past, and those pacified by the Great Accomplishment Holy Body and alternative attainers of the Dao, there are at least five.
Fifty or sixty Great Emperors sublimating together—this lineup is enough to fight a True Immortal. Even a Huang Tiandi would be wary, fearing mutual destruction.
This is not Lin Xian's speculation, but there is empirical evidence.
Ye Fan once sat for ten thousand years, glimpsing a corner of the future. The entire universe was empty. All life forbidden zones dissipated. Except for the thirty-four dark Supremes, it also included the Ruthless Great Emperor.
The life forbidden zone cannot be eradicated in one day or one night. It needs generation after generation of people to reduce it.
If it weren't for the two consecutive openings of the road to immortality, consuming a large number of Supremes, the difficulty of pacifying the forbidden zone would be greatly increased.
On the contrary, the new Heavenly Court on Lin Xian's side, although the future is promising, there will be a large number of strong people emerging in hundreds of years, but currently, there is only one Supreme, Gai Jiuyou. Even if he uses the reincarnation of Emperor Zun, Ye Fan, to fish for the first God General of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Chuan Ying, there are only two people. The high-end combat power is really insufficient.
Must strengthen Gai Jiuyou. If the sky falls, there are tall people to watch. If Gai Jiuyou collapses, the pot can smash Saint Master Lin to death.
"Besides undying medicine, what is beneficial to Senior's cultivation?" Lin Xian asked.
"Even if there is, you can't find it." Gai Jiuyou shook his head, and then said slowly: "When I was young, I had an adventure, broke into the cave of a Mythological Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun, and obtained some scriptures, and later created my own Dao."
"If I could see the flawless Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art, perhaps it could expand my Tribulation-Crossing Immortal Song."
The Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art was created by the first Tribulation-Crossing Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun in mythology. The main theme is to constantly cross tribulations, and the biggest tribulation it needs to cross is the "Death Tribulation".
If one can cross the death tribulation, it is longevity, and becoming an immortal in the red dust.
Duan De has been accumulating reincarnation seals precisely to cross the death tribulation and perfect his Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art.
Nine lives and nine deaths to be perfect, now it is his fifth life.
"Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art, Tribulation-Crossing Immortal Song... It turns out you are the successor of the Tribulation-Crossing Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun."
Gai Jiuyou's Dao inheritance has always been a mystery. Now it has finally been cracked. Lin Xian's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and said: "Get it, I will take you to see Duan De, perhaps there will be a harvest."
"Little Ye Zi, write a letter, tell Daoist Duan De that we are going to dig the Chaos Dragon Nest, which is the tomb of the Ruthless Great Emperor."
"I swear by the statue of the first generation Source Heaven Ancestor Cao Yusheng that this time there is absolutely no lie to him."
"If I lied, let Ancestor Cao Yusheng be cheated after death, not be at peace, and let our Source Heaven Master lineage be ominous and muddled in their later years."
