Chapter 432

A secret technique created by an Ancient Emperor before his passing is no ordinary thing. It is absolutely not as simple as a forbidden secret technique, but involves an enlightened one's reflections on becoming an Immortal; it is his longevity method.

Furthermore, it was created by the Golden Ancient Emperor after he failed to attack the Immortal path. It is certainly not a thing of the mortal world; it is highly likely that he gained something on the Immortal path, and his combat power was sublimated.

The most obvious logic is that other Venerables were killed by a single ultimate move from the Heavenly Emperor Ye Fan, while the Golden Ancient Emperor relied on the Golden Divine Treasury to forcibly take two hits before being killed by Ye Fan using a weapon, which is enough to show how stunning it is.

Lin Xian feels that the Golden Divine Treasury is extremely similar to something from the Chaotic Ancient Era, so he specifically came to see it. As for the provocation from the Golden Heavenly Maiden, it is purely the personal character of the Ancient Emperor's daughter, a temperament that refuses to be weaker than others.

As an Ancient Emperor's daughter, she has suppressed an era; no one in the mortal world can withstand her tenth move. The reason she appears unremarkable in this life is simply because of the accumulation of thousands of lives; all the backup plans of the Emperors and Sovereigns are erupting at this moment, all coming for the sake of becoming an Immortal.

This life is not just a ten-thousand-year struggle, but a million-year contest; it is the collision of the three eras of Myth, Archaic, and Desolate Ancient!

Lin Xian looked at the tall, long-legged Golden Heavenly Maiden and said with a free and easy smile, "Although the Heavenly Maiden is stunningly brilliant, she is not my opponent."

"I lost?!" The Golden Heavenly Maiden was almost amused by anger. She had never seen such a shameless person. Golden brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she shouted, "Lin Xian, do you dare to fight me in the same realm?"

"The Heavenly Maiden is wrong. I have already become a Sage; this is one victory. You have not become a Sage; this is one defeat."

"My years of cultivating the Dao are shallow; this is two victories. Your years of cultivating the Dao are long; this is two defeats."

"The Heavenly Court is stronger than the Golden clan; this is three victories and three defeats."

"I live long, with a long lifespan; this is four victories and four defeats."

"I have a broad mind, while the Heavenly Maiden is narrow-minded; this is five victories and five defeats."

Lin Xian talked eloquently, "With these five victories and five defeats, why bother comparing further?"

The Golden Heavenly Maiden's expression turned dark, and she was so angry she felt heavy. The first three points could be ignored, but what the hell were the last two? He was clearly bullying her.

"Less nonsense. If you win, I will take charge and give you the Ancient Emperor Token." The Golden Heavenly Maiden's hair danced, and a golden, brilliant Ancient Emperor Token appeared in her palm. She said arrogantly, "If the Heavenly Court wants to rule the world, relying on words alone will not work."

This is the unique style of the Shrouding the Heavens universe.

If it were in other worlds, Lin Xian could use his tongue to make the opponent retreat, but in this universe, no matter if you have three thousand Daos and eight hundred divine abilities, in the end, you still have to prove it with a battle.

The Golden King's eyes were calm, clearly having expected this. He held an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon and opened a small world, letting the two of them fight.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to test the foundation of the Heavenly Court.

A Sage under fifty years old—this record is truly too terrifying; even Imperial sons and Princes cannot reach it.

Is it truly defying the heavens, or is it pulling up seedlings to help them grow?!

"Why bother?"

Lin Xian sighed softly and pushed the Daoist crown on his head. Suddenly, a clear Qi evolved and turned into a green lotus that slowly bloomed. Sitting cross-legged on the lotus was a Green Lotus Daoist, holding a Ten Thousand Laws Lotus, with a realm equal to the Golden Heavenly Maiden.

"With one thought, flowers bloom; I rule the world!"

"Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor!"

"Chaotic Green Lotus Step!"

The Green Lotus Daoist was surrounded by Immortal Qi, as if he were a son of the Green Emperor, ruling the world. He possessed a spirit of looking down on the world, and every move he made was an evolution of Imperial Law.

The two collided within the Golden small world, each strike exchanging hundreds of blows, fast to an unimaginable degree, making the Golden King's eyelids twitch.

"In fact, she has already lost."

The Golden Great Sage's expression was solemn. A cultivator's Dao body can fight an Ancient Emperor's son for so long; regardless of the final result, if the Ancient Emperor's son does not have that invincible demeanor, then it is not good enough.

One must sweep across everything to forge an invincible Ancient Emperor path!

"I don't believe it!"

The Golden Heavenly Maiden shouted. Her figure was slender, her demeanor stunning, and her golden hair danced. Behind her was a brilliant Golden Divine World; the legendary Immeasurable Divine Treasury had appeared.

There, golden ancient bells, divine tripods, Dao swords, and sacred towers flickered with golden light, floating and sinking. Looking forward, this was a divine treasury world belonging to weapons.

"Treasury of the King—are you also a Wise King?"

Lin Xian smiled indifferently. What he valued was not the forbidden chapter of the Golden Divine Treasury; although the Imperial technique was strong, the Heavenly Court did not lack them. What he wanted to explore was the source of that instant when the Golden Divine Treasury was opened.

Is the mysterious divine treasury world an evolution of a Dao method, or a real material world?

"Flowers bloom and see me; I see the person!"

The Green Lotus Daoist shouted. Knowing clearly that no matter how strong a Dao body is, in the same realm, it would eventually be unable to withstand an Ancient Emperor's daughter, he simply abandoned all divine abilities and spells, turned into a chaotic green lotus, as if opening the heavens and earth, evolved the world, and rushed forward to collide with her.

One was a Green Lotus universe resembling an Immortal Domain, and the other was a Golden world filled with divine weapons. The two merged, destroyed, and were reborn, blooming with immeasurable Immortal light.

The collision of spirit and matter broke the absolute boundary, shattering the void. A true divine treasury emerged, filled with traces of the Dao, summoned by the Golden Heavenly Maiden, and turned into a forbidden divine technique.

"It has appeared—a world of secret techniques that can turn into boundless Dao attacks and evolve into an ultimate divine technique."

"An absolute spiritual domain—it really is it!"

Lin Xian's true body stood up abruptly, causing the Golden Great Sage to take action to stop him.

"Does the Heavenly Court Sage want to bully the small with the big? Your Dao body has been destroyed."

The Golden Great Sage's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, thinking that Lin Xian wanted his true body to enter the fray.

Inside the Golden small world, the chaotic green lotus exploded, turning into a clear Qi that was tottering. After all, it was just the divine ability of One Qi Transforms Three Purities, not a real person, and it soon dissipated with the wind.

Likewise, the Golden Heavenly Maiden did not have it easy; her hair was disheveled and her whole body was pitch black. She didn't look like a princess of the Golden clan at all, but rather a beggar who had run out of a slum.

"Bullying the small with the big? The Great Sage is mistaken. I just wanted to say that the Golden Heavenly Maiden's Golden Divine Treasury is practiced incorrectly, and I wanted to offer some guidance."

Lin Xian smiled indifferently, and the words he spoke left even the Golden King stunned for a long time.

"I practiced it incorrectly..." The Golden Heavenly Maiden was almost amused by anger, her expression cold as she said, "This is a divine technique created by my father. As his daughter, how could there be any error? Is Sage Lin talking nonsense?"

"First there is the divine treasury world, then the Golden Divine Treasury, just like the sun in the sky illuminating all things, only then can vegetation grow."

Lin Xian smiled indifferently, using the Fighting Word Secret to evolve the Golden Divine Treasury, and said quietly, "You are not me; how do you know that I don't know the Golden Divine Treasury?"

"This technique has a connection with me!"

Golden ancient bells, Dao swords, precious tripods, and divine towers appeared one by one behind Lin Xian. This is the shameless aspect of the Fighting Saint Method; perhaps it cannot achieve the power of the original version, but it can absolutely evolve nine-out-of-ten new divine abilities.

"Impossible!"

The Golden Heavenly Maiden screamed in shock. Even though she was the daughter of an Ancient Emperor, it took her several days to evolve the Golden Divine Treasury back then. How could Lin Xian learn it as soon as he saw it?

There are only two explanations: either Lin Xian's talent is heaven-defying and he is destined to become an Immortal in this life, or he is cheating.

"It's the Fighting Saint Method. I know now; he used the Fighting Word Secret."

Fortunately, the Golden Great Sage was knowledgeable and had seen Jiang Taixu take action. He suddenly realized, shouted loudly, and awakened the Golden Heavenly Maiden who was still in a daze, saving her Dao heart.

"The Nine Secrets—so that's it."

The Golden Heavenly Maiden let out a long breath. Sure enough, it wasn't she who was wrong, but this world. Having regained her senses, her face was flushed, and she gritted her teeth, "Teasing me—is it fun?"

"It is the Golden Divine Treasury, not the Fighting Saint Method. If you don't believe me, Heavenly Maiden, you can compare them."

Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back, still stubborn.

"There are no two identical Dao methods in the world; even the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables were only on par with my father."

The Golden Heavenly Maiden sneered, wanting to expose Lin Xian's lie. She restarted the Golden Divine Treasury, evolving the true profound meaning, within which Imperial Dao laws flowed.

Moves can be imitated, but the unique temperament of an Ancient Emperor cannot be replicated exactly, even if the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables were reborn. This involves the laws of the universe and the uniqueness of the Heavenly Heart Imprint.

The Great Dao Divine Treasury has infinite wonderful uses; all kinds of divine weapons clanged, a vast rain of light fell, and immeasurable imprints appeared.

The same ancient bells, Dao swords, and sacred towers appeared. According to logic, normal divine techniques change according to the person. For a sword technique, a sound cultivator can practice sword Qi and thunder sounds, while a magic cultivator can practice sword light differentiation; both have different insights.

But the Golden Divine Treasury, no matter who performs it, always has the same traces of the Great Dao.

"Immortal Bell, Desolate Tower, Green Tripod, Bronze Immortal Palace, Immortal Sword... sure enough, they are all here."

"The Golden Ancient Emperor definitely never saw so many Immortal Artifacts. There really is such a world."

A trace of excitement appeared in Lin Xian's eyes. He called out the System, absorbed the Dao sounds, and performed a copy-and-paste.

Your divine technique is good, but the next second, it is mine!

Different from the simulation of the Fighting Saint Method, this is a true fusion.

The Fighting Saint Method receded, and a true Golden Divine Treasury world appeared, dazzling and eye-catching. Immortal swords chimed, Dao bells tolled leisurely, and the Desolate Tower floated and sank; they were all projections of the past.

At this moment, the Golden Heavenly Maiden's gaze was completely dull, staring at the Golden world, unable to forget it for a long time. She was a bit confused about whether she was the Ancient Emperor's child, or if Lin Xian was the Ancient Emperor's child.

"Patriarch, did my father have any illegitimate children back then?" the Golden Heavenly Maiden suddenly asked out of the blue, leaving the Golden Great Sage stunned.

"Illegitimate children? Of course... there shouldn't be any." The Golden Great Sage was firm at first, but looking at his own divine technique, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth, also becoming a bit unconfident.

After all, Lin Xian's background is a secret, and he can be linked to every force. Some say he is a Human Imperial son, others say he is an Archaic prodigy, and there are even exaggerated claims that he is a Mythical Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun reincarnated and appearing in the world again.

The Golden world floated and sank, the Great Dao revolved, and Lin Xian's brow suddenly bloomed with Immortal light. His golden Primordial Spirit stepped out into the air, chanting ancient sacrificial words.

In the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Immortal Kings used their spiritual communion to construct a Void God Realm. Their descendants could use ancient sacrifices, using faith as coordinates to link to the spiritual world and step into that domain.

As the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths shattered time and time again, the material universe was destroyed, and the spiritual world naturally could not last forever; it split apart and scattered between heaven and earth.

What the Golden Ancient Emperor encountered was exactly a fragment of the Void God Realm, which recorded powerful weapons from ancient times to the present.

"What is he doing?"

The Golden Great Sage's heart was startled, and he was very unwilling to protect Lin Xian's Dao, avoiding all risks. Today, the Heavenly Court is powerful; if Lin Xian were to get lost or have an accident on the Golden clan's territory, that would give the Heavenly Court an excuse to start a war.

The golden Primordial Spirit chanted the Great Dao Scripture and actually wanted to step into that divine treasury world. With the myriad divine artifacts floating and sinking, as he moved, magic weapons actually danced.

Different from the Golden Heavenly Maiden's driving, at this moment Lin Xian merged with the Golden Divine Treasury; he himself was a weapon.

"That's it. Throughout the ages, the physical body has been invincible; this is the greatest characteristic of using the body as a seed."

"The physical body is the most powerful weapon, and the Primordial Spirit is also a divine weapon!"

"The body itself is the greatest divine treasury."

Lin Xian thought of the gourd of the Primordial Lake, as well as the black gourd destroyed in the Archaic divine war. The golden Primordial Spirit spun around, floating and sinking with the Golden Divine Treasury, and finally turned into a Primordial Spirit Dao sword and slashed out, rushing into that domain!

The Void God Realm domain was thus manifested, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had been reorganized; why could this fragment be preserved?

Lin Xian's Primordial Spirit caught a glimpse and discovered that within the Golden world, there were not only divine weapons and magic tools, but also stone tablets that reached into the clouds, recorded with various ancient characters—some from the Chaotic Ancient, others from the Immortal Ancient—symbolizing the limits of the human body.

The Golden Ancient Emperor couldn't understand them, but Lin Xian recognized the characters on them.

"Love eating beast milk the most."

"Heaven-defying divine martial arts, upright and open."

The stone tablets were simple and unadorned, the characters on them profound, flowing with an ancient aura of time. If one didn't know, one would think they were Immortal texts from the ancient era, recording the names of various divine abilities and cultivation methods.

Lin Xian, the only one who knew the truth, had a strange expression. He read them out word by word. In an instant, he seemed to understand why this Void God Realm fragment could avoid the catastrophes of the end of the Chaotic Ancient Era and be preserved to this day.

This must be commemorated.

Lin Xian's Primordial Spirit was full of interest. He returned to his physical body, intending to use a recording stone to document this extremely wonderful scene.

However, just as the Primordial Spirit and the physical body merged, the Golden world suddenly discovered an anomaly, rumbling and ringing, and everything was reorganized.

The weapons remained golden and brilliant, but those ancient stone tablets dissipated with time.

"Have you comprehended a brand-new Dao method?"

The Golden Great Sage said thoughtfully, "Changing heaven and earth—this is also reasonable."

Is it reasonable?

Very reasonable; who dares to say it is unreasonable?

Lin Xian, who had returned to his position, sighed with regret; it was truly too reasonable.

"How did you do it?"

The Golden Heavenly Maiden's gaze was brilliant, and a trace of incredulity appeared on her snow-white face. She tentatively asked, "Modifying the Golden Divine Treasury—even our clan's Great Sage cannot do it."

"Do you want to learn?"

Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back, chuckled, and said indifferently, "I'll teach you."

"You are willing to teach me?"

The Golden Heavenly Maiden was stunned. Shouldn't such a supreme divine technique be hidden away? How could it be taught to others so casually?

The Golden Great Sage raised an eyebrow and said, "Our clan is willing to exchange it with divine treasures."

"To promote the Dao method, why need divine treasures?"

"The Heavenly Court rules the world, and all races are its subjects. This is our world; we have such spirit."

Lin Xian stepped forward and said leisurely, "Coexistence of all races has never been an empty word. The goal of the Heavenly Court is to create an Immortal Dao civilization, explore the profound meaning of longevity, continue this broken path, and seek not the immortality of one person, but the ultimate and root of the ages!"

"Discarding the prejudice of sects, communicating with each other, continuing the style of the Mythical Era, achieving far more than the Mythical Era, and opening up a Golden Great World where all Emperors stand together."

"This is the true meaning of the Heavenly Court's existence."

"All cultivators who can continue the fire and inherit the great wish of the Heavenly Court are friends of the Heavenly Court."
