Chapter 272

For a Supreme, the greatest pursuit is only longevity and becoming an Immortal, yearning for that world that is close at hand but mysterious and unpredictable.

As long as it can involve this topic, no matter how small the ant, it is a fellow Daoist.

"To become an Immortal, must one cast an Immortal Artifact?"

The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor picked up the Dao-Enlightenment tea and took a light sip, like an old man chatting with a neighbor's boy, but the topics discussed all involved becoming an Immortal and the Great Dao.

"There are three recognized Immortal Artifacts throughout the ages. The owner of the Desolate Tower is suspected to be the Huang Heavenly Emperor, the Immortal Bell may originate from Mount Kunlun, but the origin of the Green Tripod is known to all Supremes throughout the ages; it was cast by the Ye Di Zun of the Ancient Heavenly Court."

"As far as this old man knows, the Ye Di Zun did not ascend to immortality at the end of the Mythological Era."

The Mythological Era, Emperors standing together, the Immortal-Becoming Tripod, Immortal-Becoming Artifact—these words are all unavoidable on the path of cultivation throughout the ages, and the Emperors and Sovereigns of later generations are all studying them.

Whether the Ye Di Zun became an Immortal, the Forbidden Zone Supremes are very clear, because the person involved, the Longevity Heavenly Venerate, is still alive, first stationed in the Underworld, and later fled to the Immortal Tomb, becoming the Lord of the Immortal Tomb.

In order to become an Immortal, there has been communication between several Life Forbidden Zones, and naturally, they have obtained a lot of intelligence.

"Did the Ye Di Zun really not ascend to immortality?"

Lin Xian smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "The path to immortality did open at the end of the Mythological Era. The Immortal-Becoming Tripod pierced through the barrier of the Immortal Domain, and the Ye Di Zun almost succeeded in breaking into the Immortal Domain, but he encountered an accident."

"First, it was the resistance from the Immortal Domain; people from another world blocked and contended with the Ye Di Zun. Secondly, the Longevity Heavenly Venerate used a similar flower to shake the Ye Di Zun's Dao heart. Finally, the Undying Heavenly Emperor took the Immortal Bell stained with Mount Kunlun blood to attack, which led to the collapse of the Ancient Heavenly Court."

"But if there hadn't been the joint obstruction of the Immortal Domain, the Heavenly Venerate, and the Immortal Artifact, the Ye Di Zun might have truly broken into the Immortal Domain at the right time and the right place."

The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor was silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth: "Success is success, failure is failure; the Ye Di Zun ultimately did not become an Immortal."

The Longevity Heavenly Venerate said that the result of that battle was that when the Ye Di Zun retreated from the Immortal path, he was already at the end of his rope. After breaking into the Life Forbidden Zone and killing two Supremes, he finally chose to leave, returned to the Primordial Ancient Star, and buried himself.

In the eyes of those who don't know the truth, this is the most favorable proof that Ye Fan is the reincarnation of the Ye Di Zun.

Lin Xian knew the truth, but he didn't mind pressing this black pot even harder, truly turning the fake into the real.

In fact, he was prepared to bluff the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor like this.

"But it did verify the existence of the Immortal Domain."

Lin Xian coughed lightly and said sternly: "At the end of the Mythological Era, the Undying Heavenly Emperor had not yet achieved the Dao; he was still a young man. He was given the highest praise by the Ye Di Zun, saying that his potential was endless and that he could hand over the Heavenly Court to him in the future."

"As the future successor of the Heavenly Court, why did he betray the Ye Di Zun and rebel against the Ancient Heavenly Court?"

"The Longevity Heavenly Venerate said that once the Ye Di Zun succeeded, he would kill them all, destroy this universe, and take back the lifespan he had bestowed upon them, only taking a portion of his direct descendants to become Immortals."

The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor sighed: "Two or three people become Immortals in one life; this is what I have seen and heard on the path to immortality."

Damn, it was really guessed by the Longevity Heavenly Venerate.

Lin Xian's eyelids jumped. Knowing that his side was holding high the banner of the Ye Di Zun and wanting to recast the Heavenly Court, he absolutely could not smear the Ye Di Zun, even if the real Ye Di Zun came, it wouldn't work.

The Ye Di Zun of the Ancient Heavenly Court is not the Ye Di Zun.

The new Heavenly Court's Ye Fan is also not the Ye Di Zun.

Only the idol hanging on the wall, worshipped by all living beings, is the true Ye Di Zun.

The world is only willing to believe what they believe; this is the true meaning of the Heavenly Court gathering faith and creating immortality above the vast mortal world.

Thus, Lin Xian began to sow discord, bluffing incomparably seriously: "If it were really two or three people becoming Immortals in one life, why would the Longevity Heavenly Venerate tell you this intelligence? He is a Heavenly Venerate of the Mythological Era who personally witnessed the opening and ending of that path to immortality."

"You are an Emperor of the Ancient Era; although you are peerless, you ultimately did not witness it with your own eyes, just heard it from hearsay."

"The Longevity Heavenly Venerate has his version of official history, and I also have some unofficial history; I ask the Supreme to listen quietly."

"I would like to hear the details." The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor nodded, a look of curiosity appearing in his eyes; he wanted to hear just how wild Lin Xian's unofficial history was.

"Legend has it that the Ye Di Zun had a fondness for the male sex and wanted to force himself on the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the first beautiful man throughout the ages, which led the Heavenly Emperor to turn love into hate and completely rebel against the Heavenly Court."

Lin Xian said leisurely, causing the Xuanwu Emperor to spray a mouthful of tea.

"Little friend, this history of yours is somewhat..." The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor wiped the water stains, his eyes strange, wanting to speak but stopping; this history was too wild!

One must know that the Undying Heavenly Emperor crowned the end of the Mythological Era, dominated the past and future, established the ancient order, and was the god worshipped by all races.

As an Emperor who achieved the Dao in the Ancient Era, when the Xuanwu Emperor was young, he also chased stars and was one of the fans of the Heavenly Emperor.

It was just that later, after achieving the Dao and having no rivals in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he felt that he had achieved the same as the Heavenly Emperor, and only then did he gradually lose his fascination.

"Senior, you don't know that the Undying Heavenly Emperor came from the Phoenix clan of the Immortal Domain and is an Immortal Spirit who descended to the mortal world."

Lin Xian kept a straight face and spoke eloquently: "As everyone knows, the Phoenix clan is the most beautiful creature, there is no first; the Five-Colored Divine Phoenix is the best among them, and the Heavenly Emperor's beauty is naturally peerless throughout the ages, the first beauty throughout the ages..."

"Wait..."

The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor instantly realized the point, not caring about the male sex like worldly mortals, but pointing directly to the core, asking in a deep voice: "Is the Heavenly Emperor truly an Immortal Spirit from the Immortal Domain who descended to the mortal world?"

This is the key. If there is an Immortal Spirit, then there is an Immortal Domain, and having an Immortal Domain proves that the path to immortality is correct!

"We have seen the Heavenly Emperor's descendants, had detailed and friendly communication with the Undying Daoist of the Heavenly Emperor's faith, and inherited the legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Court; it is the new Heavenly Court pointing to the new path to immortality."

"I, Lin Xian, am a Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Court; I dare to swear by the statue of the Ye Di Zun that there is absolutely no falsehood."

Lin Xian said solemnly: "The Heavenly Emperor is indeed from the Immortal Domain. Back then, he encountered a rare Void Great Crack throughout the ages, fell from the Immortal Domain into the mortal world, and had always wanted to go back."

"People from the Immortal Domain promised that as long as he blocked the Ye Di Zun from attacking the Immortal Domain, they would pick him up and take him home, so the Undying Heavenly Emperor abandoned his status as the young master of the Ancient Heavenly Court, conspired with the Mount Kunlun Immortal clan, and used the blood-stained Immortal Bell to ambush the Ye Di Zun."

"It actually turned out like this, is it really like this?" This piece of history, true and false, shocked the generation of Supremes so much that they couldn't recover for a long time. The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor lowered his eyes, looked at the peach orchard, and couldn't help but mutter: "The Ye Di Zun couldn't enter the Immortal Domain, and the Immortal Spirit couldn't enter the Immortal Domain either..."

Everyone was silent, leaving time for this ancient Emperor to think deeply, let him ponder the Immortal path, explore the Great Dao, and consider whether to cooperate with the new Heavenly Court next.

Lin Xian took the opportunity to drink one cup of Dao-Enlightenment tea after another, only feeling that the human body secret realms were shining, and the sound of Zen singing echoed in the Dao Palace, like a Heavenly Dragon roaring, a Buddha preaching, and his understanding of the Great Dao went to a higher level.

This was half a jar of Dao-Enlightenment tea leaves, smashed down hard, and combined with the foundation of the Buddhist gate, it was almost going to penetrate the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm and cross several tribulations.

Such an opportunity to pluck wool is rare throughout the ages. Having finally found an opportunity to openly gnaw on a Supreme, how could Lin Xian let it go?

A pot of Dao-Enlightenment tea water, divine clouds filled the sky. The Xuanwu Emperor only drank half a cup, and the remaining large half pot all went into Lin Xian's stomach.

At this moment, Lin Xian only felt that he was incomparably powerful; what Ye Di Zun, what Undying Heavenly Emperor, what Wu Shi, what Ruthless, what Ye Fan—none of them were worth mentioning.

You are called astonishingly talented, you have peerless talent throughout the ages, you have heaven-defying combat consciousness—all of them suppressed with a single hand.

This is the power belonging to Undying Medicine, the talent of the Immortal Dao!

Cheat... ahem, tea, come!
