Chapter 270

Realms are formulated for mediocre people to prevent them from going into qi deviation and deviating from the correct path; they are not fixed.

"The Dao gives birth to the realm, rather than the Dao defining the realm."

"If the Dao defined the realm, there would be no such thing as going against the current to slay Immortals."

"The reason why superiors are slain by those below is, in the final analysis, a lack of understanding of the Dao."

"This is: the body is within it, the Dao is outside it."

Lin Xian said leisurely, every word a pearl, all true understanding, carrying the wisdom of the Immortal Dao level, carrying out dimensionality reduction strikes—not to show off, but to suppress the Supreme.

Don't look at the Xuanwu Emperor as peaceful and on the verge of Dao-transformation and think he is easy to bully.

The ancestors of the Shrouded Heaven universe are different from other immortal cultivation universes!

As long as the Xuanwu Emperor wants to, he can sublimate to the extreme and drag a Supreme to die with him at any time. What is called the power of Dao-transformation—even Great Emperors would lose half their lives, let alone those who have slashed themselves.

And if you want to win the respect of a Shrouded Heaven Supreme, you must say something astonishing, and the topic must involve longevity, the Great Dao, and becoming an Immortal.

"What a 'the body is within it, the Dao is outside it'."

"Little friend's words have deep meaning; please take a seat."

The Xuanwu Emperor narrowed his eyes, savored it carefully, and a smile appeared on his old face. With a wave of his hand, they arrived at a courtyard. Under the giant peach tree, a stone table appeared, along with several stone stools.

The peach orchard was large, occupying a valley, and several Supremes each had their own territory; the thatched cottages just now were just places for the Supremes to discuss matters.

If they wanted to discuss the Dao, they naturally had to change to another place.

After everyone sat down, the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor asked: "Little friend, do you know what the difference is between the Desolate Ancient and the Chaotic Ancient?"

As a Supreme, he already knew the past and present, and in order to become an Immortal, he had explored countless secret treasures and read countless ancient histories, so he naturally wouldn't be like ordinary cultivators who thought the Chaotic Ancient Era was the era of the Chaotic Ancient Great Emperor.

Legend has it that before the Mythological Era, there was a Chaotic Ancient Era that was difficult to describe and record, and there was an even more distant Immortal Dynasty!

"In the Chaotic Ancient Era, heaven and earth were completely different from today, and the system cultivated was also different from today."

"Cultivating Immortals in this life, becoming Gods in the Chaotic Ancient... but the three thousand Great Daos ultimately lead to the same destination."

Lin Xian revealed a part of the Chaotic Ancient method of cultivation to the Xuanwu Emperor, paused, and then said meaningfully: "Whether it is a cultivator of the present life method, a cultivator of the Chaotic Ancient method, or a cultivator of the distant future."

"The ultimate goal is all for the sake of immortality!"

For the sake of immortality, even if it means a thousand layers of tribulation and a hundred lives of difficulty, even if the soul is scattered and the spiritual consciousness remains, fighting the six paths of reincarnation, one must still step into that world of longevity!

This is the greatest part of cultivation.

It is also the most moving part for cultivators.

"Everything is for longevity. The thirty Emperors and Sovereigns of the vast blue sky throughout the ages, and many Supremes and geniuses have all walked their own paths, which cannot be said to be not astonishing, but so far no one has become an Immortal."

The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor is a person on this path who is on the verge of the end, and also the most desperate person, and couldn't help but sigh: "Even the cultivators of the Chaotic Ancient are tracing back, dare to ask the Heavens, is there an Immortal?"

"Even in the ancient Chaotic Ancient Era, did no one become an Immortal?"

"Actually, there was one." Lin Xian said leisurely: "There are three most ancient artifacts in the world."

"Green Tripod, Desolate Tower, Immortal Bell!" The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor's eyes bloomed with divine light, spitting out word by word, Dao rhymes flowing, swallowing mountains and rivers, and in an instant, it seemed as if that peak Emperor who reigned over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had returned, pressing down on everyone so they couldn't breathe.

A Supreme is still a Supreme; the Xuanwu Emperor is just old, not dead!

Even if he is on the verge of Dao-transformation, he is still a True Dragon in the Nine Heavens; Quasi-Emperors are just ants, and he can destroy them with a backhand.

"Old grandpa is so scary." Little Nan Nan muttered, but was not affected at all, just took a small step back.

The other three had Emperor artifacts to protect their bodies; although they were trembling, they could barely support themselves and did not kneel down to pay homage to the Supreme.

Lin Xian no longer hid it, and hurriedly said: "That's right, the Desolate Tower is indeed the weapon of the Huang Huang Tiandi; it is an Immortal Artifact left behind by him!"

"Crack!"

In an instant, it seemed as if something had shattered. The Xuanwu Emperor took a long breath of immortal energy, removed the broken teacup and stone stool, and returned to the state of an old man. He was no longer wise and divine, but his eyes were no longer turbid, and there was a glimmer of light flickering.

"Little friend, please sit."

The Xuanwu Emperor waved his large sleeve, took the divine wood chair, took out the immortal jade tea set, and then summoned the headless knight, instructing: "Go to the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree in front of the mountain and pick a few tea leaves."

The headless knight was slightly stunned; this was truly a topic that made people confused.

"Still not going?"

The Xuanwu Emperor frowned, feeling dissatisfied in his heart. The people under Shi Huang were truly becoming more and more unruly; he hadn't even Dao-transformed yet and they dared to be so negligent.

If he had Dao-transformed, would there still be a place for his lineage in the Undying Mountain in the future!

"Supreme, please forgive me..."

The headless knight hurriedly saluted, and then looked silently at Lin Xian's group.

Little Nan Nan was ignorant and innocent, very cute, pestering the Xuanwu Immortal Medicine to play, forming a picture of a turtle carrying an Immortal.

The Fighting Buddha coughed, looking at the teacup in his hand in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. His memory seemed to return to the late Ancient Era, that afternoon when the sun was setting, the Holy Ape and the God Silkworm running in the golden sunlight—that was his lost youth.

"The sky is so blue." The big black dog looked up at the sky, his eyes wide, as if he wanted to comprehend some Undying Mountain Emperor patterns from the firmament.

"The ground is so authentic..." Lin Xian also looked at the ground, as if there were some rare treasures, immortal medicines, and divine fruits on the ground.

"They are all peerless thieves; they even stole things all the way to the Undying Mountain."

The Xuanwu Supreme shook his head, looked back at the headless Quasi-Emperor, and instructed: "Go and bring the ten-thousand-year-old Dao-Enlightenment tea leaves."

"Yes, Supreme!"

The headless Quasi-Emperor immediately obeyed. His empty brain had nothing, only to carry the fruits of the Supremes' deep thinking.

A Quasi-Emperor is a master outside, but in the Forbidden Zone, he only needs to obey orders. As long as the Supreme is willing to reward an Undying Medicine, he can create a Quasi-Emperor at any time.

In a moment, the headless knight brought a jar of tea leaves, the fragrance was nose-piercing, immortal light was entwined, and there were Qilin, Phoenix, and many visions entwined, sacred and unimaginably so.

This is different from ordinary years; it is the tea leaves produced by the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree once every ten thousand years, with a full three thousand leaves, symbolizing the three thousand Great Daos, incomparably precious. Only the Forbidden Zone Supremes in the world have the qualifications and the time to enjoy such divine objects.

The Supremes sealed themselves for a million years, and even if this Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree produced three thousand leaves every ten thousand years, it had matured a hundred times, and there was a lot of stock.

The Xuanwu Emperor casually scooped up half a jar of tea leaves and poured them in; divine clouds bloomed in the sky. If it weren't for being in the Supreme courtyard, the radiance would have covered the entire Undying Mountain.

In an instant, from Lin Xian to the old monkey, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. This is what a Supreme is; it's too rich!

"This old man's lifespan is coming to an end; I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy much Dao-Enlightenment tea in the future."

The Xuanwu Supreme laughed and said: "People are old, and this curiosity is also heavy. Dare to ask little friend, how do you know that the Desolate Tower is an Immortal Artifact cast by the Huang Huang Tiandi?"

"This matter is easy." Lin Xian smiled slightly and said slowly: "Because the Huang Huang Tiandi became an Immortal at the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era. Since he is an Immortal, he can naturally cast an Immortal Artifact."

"Just like a Great Emperor casting an Emperor Weapon, and a Sage casting a Sage Weapon; that is all."

That is all!

It is that simple. A single sentence, "that is all," revealed the truth of the ages and solved a major problem on the path of cultivation.

There are Immortals throughout the ages, there are Immortals in the world; the Immortal Dao is not a fantasy, but true and undeniable!

The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor personally poured tea and handed it over, reaching out and saying: "Daoist Lin, please take a seat and taste the Dao-Enlightenment Immortal Tea."
