Chapter 378
The origin of the Dark Immortal Emperor is extraordinary. He was once the first Emperor to open up the heavens and the earth, a genuine powerhouse at the end of the road, a supreme being who jumped out of ancient history, a master who could be counted in the myriad worlds.
A "Primordial True Explanation" had a far-reaching influence, guiding the direction of cultivation. It could be called the Dao Ancestor of all cultivation civilizations in the Boundary Sea. From the Immortal Domain, Foreign Domain, Burial Ground, and even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, all were influenced by him. He was a true Huang Tiandi!
Lin Xian practiced the Primordial True Explanation, which was his most fundamental cultivation method. Claiming to be under his sect was logically sound.
Whether the Dark Immortal Emperor acknowledged it was another matter.
The gap between them was like that between the Great Sage Yin Xi, a disciple of Laozi, and an outer-sect Daoist in the Louguan Daoist sect who could recite the "Dao De Jing".
"Benefiting the myriad races, do the masses still remember me? I don't even have a name in ancient history."
The Dark Immortal Emperor's tone was calm, but a bit lonely, saying indifferently: "What is the meaning? I have long been a decaying person who has been forgotten."
"Master, this is wrong. Your name is unknown to no one, but your achievements will last forever."
Lin Xian was trembling with nervousness inside, but his face remained serious and powerful: "You are the first Emperor of the Boundary Sea, the ancestor of all systems. The masses may forget the glorious Heavenly Court of ancient times, but they will not forget the root of their own cultivation."
"When the ancient ancestors looked up at the starry sky, they couldn't help but ponder: the origin of runes, who was studying blood energy, who was arranging the Great Dao."
"At the beginning of ancient times, who preached the Dao?"
"It was you who observed the mountains and rivers, touched the grass and trees, entered the vast sea, looked at the stars, touched all things, and turned the formless Great Dao into the brilliant Heavenly Dao that the world can comprehend!"
"Perhaps, the Heavenly Court has collapsed, and you are no longer the extremely glorious Huang Tiandi of the past, but you are still the original Dao Ancestor of the masses!"
"You are the original Dao Ancestor, you are the original Immortal Emperor, you are our origin, how can we forget!"
"I have long been a practitioner under the Primordial sect!"
"The kindness of the Primordial cannot be repaid!"
"Loyal! Faithful!"
Lin Xian was passionate, half-true and half-false. It was both a bluff and a true emotion, because the Primordial Immortal Emperor truly had great merit in this world.
If it is said that the later Heavenly Emperors benefited from the system of using the body as a seed and rose by becoming Red Dust Immortals, then the Desolate Huang Tiandi who created the Shrouding the Heavens method stood on the shoulders of giants, and this giant was the Dark Immortal Emperor.
He rose in the most turbulent era, cared for the world, fought in various places, pacified chaos and destroyed weirdness, protected all races, walked to the end of an evolutionary path, became a supreme powerhouse, and ruled the myriad heavens.
It can be said that he was a version of the Desolate Huang Tiandi from the previous generation, and he even once obtained the protagonist certification mechanism—Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, using its scraps to forge a Daluo Emperor Sword!
Such a great opportunity, such great fortune, comparable to that Flower Pollen Empress of the Upper Heavens. If given time, future sacrifice to the Dao is expected, and he could lead the Boundary Sea to become a second Upper Heavens.
Unfortunately, compared to the Desolate Huang Tiandi, the luck of this first Emperor of the Boundary Sea—the Primordial Immortal Emperor—was ultimately a bit worse.
On the road to becoming an Emperor, the Desolate Huang Tiandi only encountered one Immortal Emperor blocking the way. In the process of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor, he was plotted against by more than two Immortal Emperors of the weird race and was polluted and blackened by the primordial black blood.
The primordial black blood is a supreme substance transformed from the ashes of the owner of the Three-World Bronze Coffin, originating from above the sacrifice to the Dao, and even an Immortal Emperor cannot withstand such corrosion.
Helplessly, the Primordial Immortal Emperor could only cut off and banish his unpolluted Primordial Spirit and physical body, looking forward to the future, and blocked the hole in the Upper Heavens with his remaining physical body to prevent greater dark ominousness from coming.
Such an existence is worthy of the word Huang Tiandi, and his character is comparable to a Sage.
"Since that is the case, why are you afraid." The Dark Immortal Emperor said in a low voice, gloomily: "Reciting the name of that fierce person in your heart."
"Perhaps in the hearts of the world, I am no longer the glorious Primordial Huang Tiandi, but a corpse that has fallen into darkness, a disaster..."
An Immortal Emperor reverses the past and present, one thought collapses the heavens, ancient time is like a splash-ink scroll, the Great Thousand Universe is just a wave of the pen. Such an existence can easily observe the thoughts of the masses.
In an instant, Lin Xian was sweating profusely, and he bit the bullet and said: "Although I am afraid, I still have respect for you in my heart. That is noble awe!"
"After all, you are also a part of the Primordial, and you were once an Emperor who shone through the ages and protected the masses."
The Dark Immortal Emperor is the Primordial, but also not the Primordial. To be precise, he is the half-body of the Primordial Immortal Emperor, his dark side.
Human Emperors die but do not stiffen, and still form reincarnation seals, let alone Immortal Emperors. Using the dark corpse used to mend the sky to breathe, swallowing the origin of the myriad heavens, and spitting out dark substances, hoping to resurrect, formed a storm that swept the Boundary Sea and became the greatest corpse disaster in the ancient epoch.
The turmoil of Shrouding the Heavens originated from the Human Emperor, and the turmoil of Perfection originated from the Immortal Emperor.
After the Desolate Huang Tiandi killed the Corpse Immortal Emperor, he went to the Upper Heavens to suppress the final ominousness. Because the enemy was too powerful and he needed teammates, he revived the Primordial Immortal Emperor's bright true self, and the remaining dark Emperor body was buried on Earth, overlooking the ages.
The current Dark Immortal Emperor certainly has no desire to destroy the world, otherwise the Desolate Huang Tiandi would not have left him behind, but how much kindness he has is a question mark.
So Lin Xian tried his best to praise the Dark Immortal Emperor, eulogize the Primordial Huang Tiandi, and praise his past achievements, hoping that this master could recall some glory of the past, find back some original heart, acknowledge that he is the Primordial, not the darkness, and not take action against a human cultivator.
"Part of the Primordial? Truly ridiculous."
The Dark Immortal Emperor sneered: "In the eyes of the world, in the eyes of that bright body, I am just his weak remaining part, it is ominous and filthy, it is the dark history he cannot erase."
"So he cut off from me, buried me here, wanting to cover up his past sins!"
A righteous cut. Lin Xian's expression was strange. Was this the original intention of the Primordial Immortal Emperor? It sounded a bit nonsense, but thinking carefully, it made some sense.
"I slept for ages, and only woke up once in the middle, not wanting to argue with others." The Dark Immortal Emperor's voice was cold: "But you recited scriptures related to reincarnation and brought a little guy similar to Desolate, which made me recall the past and think of reincarnation."
"Reincarnation, even for existences at our level, is still profound."
"If judged by reincarnation, I am not a part of the Primordial. In the words of your epoch, I am just a corpse of an Emperor becoming spiritual."
An Emperor's corpse becoming spiritual!
An Immortal Emperor's corpse becoming spiritual!
Earth is worthy of the name of a corpse-raising ground, burying the greatest corpse disaster in history, and now the Immortal Emperor has faked his death!
According to reason, let alone Lin Xian, a Half-Sage, even if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor started a war near Earth, the Dark Immortal Emperor wouldn't care.
Even if the great war of the Immortal Domain and Foreign Domain was re-enacted, and hundreds of Immortal Kings fell, the Dark Immortal Emperor wouldn't even blink.
But it just so happened that Lin Xian, a human cultivator, provoked this master by reciting two sentences of scripture. Only the words "Holy crap" could express it!
"Supreme Cave Mystery Lingbao Immeasurable Scripture of Saving People of the Upper Grade, little guy, you do have some talent, actually researching a bit of the true meaning of reincarnation in the human realm."
The Dark Immortal Emperor's voice became increasingly eerie and cold: "What is remembered will surely have an echo. Since I have sensed the revival and seen someone similar to Desolate, if I don't cut him down, how can I vent the hatred in my heart!"
Lin Xian was completely numb and finally figured out the reason for the Dark Immortal Emperor's revival.
Supreme Cave Mystery Lingbao Immeasurable Scripture of Saving People of the Upper Grade, that's it. While merging Lingbao's complete "Scripture of Saving People" and Ruthless's "Scripture of Saving Gods", he also pondered Meng Yuan's "Scripture of Saving People" from the First World Universe, adding a bit in, trying to combine the Three Pure Ones into one.
He originally thought it was a simple copy of homework, but he never expected it to be dancing on a grave, and he flipped the car all of a sudden.
A complete Scripture of Saving People involving the mystery of reincarnation, an ancient cultivator who knew the truth about the life and death of the Primordial Immortal Emperor, plus a protagonist similar to Desolate.
Even if time and space were disordered, these three conditions could not be gathered, but they were forcibly gathered by Lin Xian on Earth, thereby summoning the Dark Immortal Emperor.
Seeing the Dark Immortal Emperor's killing intent, Lin Xian endured the fear and shouted: "Master, you are wrong! How can you view yourself as darkness! View yourself as a remnant!"
"In my eyes, in the eyes of the masses of the Boundary Sea, you are the true Emperor, the original Dao Ancestor who shoulders the masses!"
The Dark Immortal Emperor paused, not in a hurry to take action, but responded coldly: "Do you think I am an ignorant child?"
Whether the Corpse Immortal Emperor is orthodox, doesn't he know?
"Wrong, Master, you are very wrong." Lin Xian took a deep breath, simply broke the jar, burned the bridges, and said righteously: "As the saying goes, bearing the country's disgrace is called the master of the country; bearing the country's ominousness is called the king of the world."
"You bear ominousness, you carry darkness, you are the unique true king!"
"Interesting." The Dark Immortal Emperor clicked his tongue and said with interest: "Tell me about it."
Lin Xian stood proudly, his expression solemn, and said earnestly: "In the Emperor-Falling Era, you shouldered the responsibility of an Emperor, filled the pit with your body, blocked the high-level weird ominousness of the Upper Heavens, and left a relatively perfect world for future generations!"
"The so-called bright Primordial Spirit chose to run away when facing the weird invasion, hiding in the rear, letting the masses face the disaster alone. This is how cowardly it is, how can it be an Emperor."
"When the Boundary Sea was in danger, you turned the tide, supported the falling building, personally arrived at the front line of the dark battlefield, and blocked the ominousness for countless years."
"This gave the myriad heavens and worlds a chance to breathe and gave later Emperors time to develop."
"The masses have too deep a misunderstanding of you."
"Master, you are not the Dark Immortal Emperor, but the true Primordial Huang Tiandi!!!"
The Dark Immortal Emperor was silenced by Lin Xian. It turned out it could be explained this way.
Although he was ruthless and had fallen into darkness, he was ultimately a generation of Emperors and wanted some face.
The Dark Immortal Emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Is it a bit too much."
"Too much? Not at all. As the saying goes, judge by actions, not by heart; judge by heart, and there is no perfect person." Lin Xian coughed lightly and spoke nonsense seriously: "The Primordial Huang Tiandi has the great merit of opening the Dao, and you are also the Primordial, naturally enjoying this glory, right."
The Dark Immortal Emperor nodded. He had already been freed from the primordial black blood. Although he was unwilling, essentially, he still acknowledged that he was the Primordial, not an Immortal Emperor of the weird camp.
"That's right, you are the Primordial, and the bright body is also the Primordial."
Lin Xian said meaningfully: "But compared to that other bright Immortal Emperor, your achievements are greater. You are the well-deserved king of the Boundary Sea, shouldering everything."
"Back then, you sacrificed yourself to mend the sky, shining brightly, with immeasurable merit."
"Does the bright body have this great merit!"
"One plus one is greater than two; a three-year-old child knows this algorithm."
"Your merit is greater than the bright Emperor, so who is the true self of the Primordial Immortal Emperor is clear at a glance."
It could be calculated this way. The Dark Immortal Emperor was stunned by Lin Xian's shamelessness.
But thinking carefully, it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.
"The Primordial is the supreme being, without good or evil, chaotic and infinite." Lin Xian shouted: "The Emperor carries everything, whether it is light or darkness!"
"The Emperor carries everything, can shoulder the glory of light, and can also bear the sins of darkness. Compared to the other me, I am more complete and perfect, and I am the true Primordial." The Dark Immortal Emperor murmured, his eyes gradually having light, and he said proudly: "Right, that's it. I am the Primordial, I am naturally the Primordial, I am the king of everyone, I am the Emperor of the Boundary Sea."
"Kid, you are not wrong, you have some insight. This Emperor pardons your crime of disrespect."
The more a person lacks something, the more they like to emphasize that they have it.
One is the Primordial Immortal Emperor who can go to the Upper Heavens to fight, and the other is the dark Emperor corpse lying on Earth becoming spiritual. Who is the original is clear at a glance.
The dark Emperor corpse has the great merit of mending the sky, but it also has the record of destroying the world and is the culprit of the dark turmoil in the Perfection epoch.
Lin Xian knew this truth, but he had to cater to the Dark Immortal Emperor and continue to praise his achievements: "Primordial Master, your virtue and prestige are high, and you created the 'Primordial True Explanation'. Even the Desolate Huang Tiandi should respectfully call you Ancestor Master in terms of seniority."
"Why bother with juniors of later generations? You are the Primordial Huang Tiandi, the Dao Ancestor of the Boundary Sea. Even if you want to settle karma, you should go find the Desolate Huang Tiandi."
"That makes some sense." The Dark Immortal Emperor nodded, no longer cold, revealing killing intent, but he was essentially dark, and still unwilling: "However, this face is truly hateful, appearing again and again. Even if I don't destroy it, I must make him encounter a dark calamity."
"Again and again?" Lin Xian felt a jolt. In the ages, who else was similar to Ye Fan? Besides Ruthless's brother, there was only the Emperor.
"The Emperor was truly buried on Earth." Lin Xian said in shock: "The Emperor's corpse became spiritual, then where is his Primordial Spirit?"
If it were anyone else, the Immortal Emperor wouldn't bother to pay attention. He would open his eyes once every millions of years, and even an Immortal King wouldn't be worth his attention.
Only the Red Dust Immortal had extraordinary potential and the hope of becoming an Emperor, plus the Emperor established the Heavenly Court and touched the taboo, which made the Dark Immortal Emperor pay attention.
"That kid with shallow cultivation but a big tone." The Dark Immortal Emperor pointed casually: "Isn't he right there? It's interesting today, two similar faces have arrived together."
The Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Tripod in Ye Fan's body shook, and a piece of divine source fell off, in which a white, fat, harmless divine baby was sealed!
A prophecy fulfilled!
In an instant, Lin Xian's head roared. The casual remark from back then had actually come true.
The Long-Life Heavenly Venerable really didn't see it wrong back then; he saw the Emperor burying himself back to his home planet!
Those who have no reincarnation have reincarnation things. At this moment, the Great Dao of Reincarnation was displayed vividly.
"Having said so much, it can be considered as relieving boredom. It is rare to meet someone who understands ancient and modern history. It is very interesting. After erasing your memory, I will spare you, kid."
The Dark Immortal Emperor sighed: "But this face, I still can't help but want to kill it, so I will grant him a drop of black blood."
Lin Xian heard this and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly nodding in agreement: "The disciple firmly supports Master's decision. I have long found that kid unpleasant."
As long as he didn't kill himself, anything would do.
As for Ye Fan, the Human Supreme might be able to beat him to death, because of various coincidences and accidents, becoming a tragedy on a branch of the timeline.
But if an Immortal Emperor took action, then there would be a good show to watch. Who would kill whom was not certain.
"So ruthless."
The Dark Immortal Emperor was stunned, feeling that Lin Xian's face-changing was too fast, so he didn't take action against Ye Fan, but stretched his dark hand toward Lin Xian, saying with interest: "It's the same before and after. Let's look at your memory first and delete a bit."
"Holy crap, why did you change your mind!" Lin Xian was crying without tears. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so cocky.
He still wanted to see the Huang Tiandi Ye beat up the dark corpse Immortal Emperor!
Now, he had become the play.
The big dark hand pressed down, covering the Luo Tian. Even if the true self was not there, the corpse of the Emperor had almost exited the Immortal Emperor realm, as if the Immortal Emperor had cut himself with a knife, extremely weak.
But this hand could slap a few hundred Immortal Kings to death, and killing a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Ancestor was still not a problem.
Lin Xian was in despair. This enemy that even the Desolate Huang Tiandi had to fight, now there was not even a Red Dust Immortal in the mortal world. Who could stop him?
He is the king of the Boundary Sea, the Emperor of the masses, and the legendary Ten Fierce races originated from his civilization. The "Primordial True Explanation" analyzed everything, including the Ten Fierce Treasure Arts.
Now that the Desolate Huang Tiandi has gone to the Upper Heavens, he is the number one powerhouse in the myriad heavens and worlds, truly invincible in the world, and no one can stop him.
Unless... an enemy comes from the sky!
Jerusalem is the core of the Western orthodoxy. Most of the ancestral artifacts looted from the Central Plains a hundred years ago were placed here, and the gods wanted to crack the mysteries within.
On a stone platform in the central temple, several ancient objects were presented, including: fragments of the Fuxi Dragon Stele, fragments of the Nine Tripods cast by Great Yu, etc.
At the moment the Dark Immortal Emperor took action, the fragments of the Fuxi Dragon Stele rang, flowing with rays of light, intertwining into an Eight Trigrams light gate.
An ethereal, immortal-like voice containing profound meaning came from behind the gate, accompanied by the sound of a zither, echoing in the void.
"Fellow Daoist, this is a bit too much." A dragon-headed human-bodied image was outlined. Fuxi the Huang Tiandi sat cross-legged above the Big Dipper, overlooking the river of time, looking at the Primordial Ancient Star across the boundless time and space, his tone indifferent but unquestionable: "This is my descendant, and I will not allow you to interfere."
"What a Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
"How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"
Divine light burst from the Dark Immortal Emperor's eyes. Standing on the Primordial Ancient Star, the river of time surrounded his body. Ages passed in a hurry, yet he remained unmoved, like a supreme Huang Tiandi.
Between the two Emperors confronting each other, time froze, the rotating galaxy stagnated, the cold universe was silent, and the thoughts of living beings were fixed at that moment, as if everything returned to zero.
"Fuxi."
As Fuxi the Huang Tiandi's immortal sound rang out, the time of the Great Universe flowed again, and Lin Xian also regained consciousness.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, your state is not good, is it."
The Dark Immortal Emperor was originally extremely tense, thinking that a complete Immortal Emperor had descended, but after careful observation, he suddenly revealed a sneer: "The foundation is lost."
"Not as good as Fellow Daoist Primordial, who doesn't even have a true self." Fuxi the Huang Tiandi did not show weakness at all, counterattacking: "Neither human nor ghost, I'm afraid you are more than half crippled."
One is a puppet of the other shore, the foundation is lost; the other is a crippled Immortal Emperor, equivalent to self-cutting. Don't laugh at each other; everyone is on the same starting line.
"I master the ups and downs, invincible in ancient and modern times!" The Dark Immortal Emperor still said stubbornly.
Fuxi the Huang Tiandi said indifferently: "You were hacked to death by Desolate."
The Dark Immortal Emperor's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I am the first Emperor to open up the heavens and the earth, preaching to the masses."
Fuxi the Huang Tiandi shook his head: "You were hacked to death by Desolate."
The Dark Immortal Emperor was furious and shouted: "In the future of ancient and modern times, I am the supreme one, the myriad Daos become empty, suppressing the enemies of the present world."
No matter how many sentences the Dark Immortal Emperor said, Fuxi the Huang Tiandi only had one sentence: "You were hacked to death by Desolate."
The Dark Corpse Immortal Emperor suddenly went crazy. Fuxi the Huang Tiandi knew his dark history, but he knew nothing about Fuxi the Huang Tiandi.
Where did this Emperor come from?!
"Could it be a Fellow Daoist from the Upper Heavens?" The Dark Immortal Emperor asked.
Fuxi the Huang Tiandi replied calmly: "I originate from the real world, which can also be called the Upper World, the Immortal World."
"The Upper World, the guys from the Upper Heavens are truly arrogant." The Dark Immortal Emperor snorted coldly: "My world also has more than one Immortal Emperor; who is the Upper World is not certain."
"Words are useless; we must see who is higher."
"Good." Fuxi the Huang Tiandi nodded, and then the two Emperor shadows transcended above the river of time, overlooking the past and future, constantly fighting and probing.
Fortunately, both of them were in bad states, belonging to the situation where both sides were afraid, so they did not have a real life-and-death battle, but an alternative sparring.
The Void Sea was the board, the world was the piece, playing with time and reversing cause and effect. Immortal Emperor supernatural powers were all used, and the means of the other shore appeared, extremely gorgeous, hitting out extremely brilliant Dao marks, affecting the myriad heavens and worlds.
The two Immortal Dao Supremes fought to the end of the Boundary Sea. With every gesture, it was a true opening of the heavens and the earth. Chaos energy permeated, the universe shattered, domains were created, it was not a delusion, and even the Great Dao was wiped out!
I don't know how much time passed, time reversed, everything was recast, as if nothing had happened. Let alone human beings, even those in the Immortal Dao did not have the slightest perception.
The long sky of ages is a scroll, everything is a dream and bubble, and the life and death of all living beings are in their thoughts. That is a competition beyond dimensions.
If there is only one Emperor, then he can do whatever he wants, treating the myriad heavens and worlds as a playground.
But if there are two, it is hard to distinguish between life and death, which will form a subtle balance.
Returning to Earth, the time and space node traced back to the moment Lin Xian merged several "Scriptures of Saving People" and prepared to copy the homework.
"The human path is vast, the immortal path is boundless, the ghost path is joyful, when the human life gate, the immortal path values life, the ghost path values the end..."
"How terrifying is the power of thought, it can influence reincarnation and glimpse the next life."
"At the Immortal Emperor level, one can return through this; it is truly terrifying."
Lin Xian sighed, talking to himself, and evolved a "Supreme Cave Mystery Lingbao Immeasurable Scripture of Saving People of the Upper Grade".
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ears, it was the system's check-in sound.
【Famous scene discovered, starting to absorb Dao rhyme】
【Ding-dong, check-in successful】
【Event: Two Immortal Dao Supremes fought to the end of the Boundary Sea...】
【Evaluation: A little butterfly in the human world inadvertently flapped its wings, triggering the stormy waves of the Boundary Sea】
【Reward: True Dragon Treasure Art】
"Holy crap, True Dragon Treasure Art, what the hell is this? The Western Shengcheng can explode with the complete Ten Fierce Treasure Arts. System, are you having a seizure?"
Lin Xian looked at the reward, dumbfounded, and looked back at Jerusalem, which was shining with divine light and had surging faith.
It was natural to explode with this faith method, and it would be well-deserved if it were the Light Scripture. Even if it were the preaching method of the Immortal Monk King, it would be reliable, but what the hell is this True Dragon Treasure Art.
The system was silent for a moment and transmitted the previous memory.
After checking the memory, Lin Xian realized the disharmony just now. In an instant, he wanted to speak but stopped, thought a lot, had a lot to say, but when it reached his lips, he couldn't say a word.
Until the Heavenly Court army captured the Shengcheng, all the Daoists in the city chanted the "Scripture of Saving People", the Dao sound echoed in the sky, accompanied by cheers and leaps, extremely prosperous, victorious, and honored.
Lin Xian, who was in the center of the prosperity, did not have a trace of joy, nor too much depression, but looked at the excited crowd and sighed softly: "Bitter Sea, ah."
