Chapter 444: 【I am the Great Love Heavenly Venerate】
"This face—why does it feel a bit familiar?"
Lin Xian gasped. He always felt that the Corpse Emperor had the shadow of a certain dead fatty. As expected of a Supreme from the Underworld, they were all of the same ilk.
No matter from which angle, the Corpse Emperor had truly inherited the Underworld Emperor's mantle.
"The me of yesterday is not me. This Emperor has had an epiphany about reincarnation. From now on, I will wash my heart and reform, drawing a clear line with the dark Underworld of the past."
The Corpse Emperor's expression did not change as he argued eloquently: "I wish to follow the Green Emperor to the Heavenly Court, idly sweeping fallen flowers with the immortals. I ask the Heavenly Court to give me a chance!"
"This Emperor has never launched dark turmoil and also has a heart of great love. I am not a dark Supreme, but the Great Love Heavenly Venerate!"
The Emperors looked sideways, all shocked by the Corpse Emperor's shamelessness. Did this speed of kneeling down match your thick-browed and big-eyed appearance?
He had thought the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor being a double agent was already lacking in Supreme demeanor, but he never expected there to be such a present-day treasure here.
The Corpse Emperor narrowed his eyes, having his own calculations. Being so servile naturally had its motives.
He was an Emperor for the second life, and his physical body was unimaginably powerful, far surpassing other Supremes. His only weakness was the reincarnation imprint, which was why he was so wary of the Underworld Emperor. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Heaven-Reaching Underworld Treasure moved, scaring him into fleeing the Underworld and traveling far to the Primordial Ancient Mine to seek protection.
But now, the Primordial Ancient Mine had been coerced and lured by Lin Xian with the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, creating a small group that instantly became an unreliable alliance.
Such was the trend; as a Supreme, he was helpless. He couldn't beat them, so he could only join, but he couldn't join directly. What if the Underworld Emperor casually refined him into a corpse slave? He had to find a backer for himself.
"The Primordial Ancient Mine can be split by the Heavenly Court's sowing of discord. Conversely, the Heavenly Court might not be unsplittable. Every Supreme is a unique powerhouse with their own pride in their hearts. How could the Green Emperor be willing to be subordinate to the Underworld Emperor? This is an opportunity."
"The Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld is the Underworld. It's just that because the Emperor of the past was the disciple of the Underworld Emperor, the two organizations appeared close."
"Now, the reincarnation of the Emperor is just a King who has slashed the Dao. The Green Emperor is the backbone of the Heavenly Court."
The Corpse Emperor took a deep breath, believing he had touched upon a trace of the Heavenly Court's structure, and said sonorously: "I am willing to serve the Heavenly Court and wish to go to the immortal path with the Green Emperor. I ask the several fellow Daoists to report this to the Green Emperor."
"Impossible!"
Before Lin Xian and the others could react, the Supremes of the Golden Ancient Emperor's faction decisively rejected him. Originally, the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill wasn't enough to go around; how could they tolerate a Corpse Emperor running over?
If one Supreme was added, their own hope of obtaining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill would decrease.
"Fellow Daoist of the Heavenly Court, this person, the Corpse Emperor, is a habitual traitor. He previously defected from the Underworld forbidden zone and fled into our Primordial Ancient Mine. Now he is betraying the Primordial Ancient Mine to enter the Heavenly Court."
The Lord of Primordial, the Hou clan Supreme, said with deep feeling: "You must be on guard against this person."
The Corpse Emperor was furious and scolded: "Then what about you? Betraying the forbidden zone to defect to the Heavenly Court."
"That is not the same."
The Golden Ancient Emperor chuckled: "Fellow Daoist Hou is the Lord of the Primordial Ancient Mine. We represent the forbidden zone in cooperating with the Heavenly Court, which is naturally different from a demonic heretic like you."
"Not bad, not bad. To deal with a demonic heretic like the Corpse Emperor, why bother with the friendship of the forbidden zone? Everyone, let's attack together."
The Kunpeng Supreme sneered, actually harboring murderous intent. Other Supremes didn't have the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and could still return to the Divine Source to endure for hundreds of thousands of years. If he didn't have the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, he would sit down and die before long. He absolutely would not tolerate an extra Supreme snatching the immortal pill.
Once these words were spoken, the Supremes present narrowed their eyes, quietly moved.
Killing a Supreme—it was difficult, but also easy.
Four Imperial Weapons could force a Supreme to sublimate, let alone so many Supremes present. If everyone held an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon and gave the Corpse Emperor a hit, even a physical body attained in the second life would be reduced to ashes.
But the variables were too great. What if they didn't kill the Corpse Emperor, but instead forced him to sublimate successfully and reclaim the flawless imperial throne? That would be a huge problem.
A self-slashed Supreme and a sublimated Supreme were completely different levels. If things went wrong, everyone would be forced by the Corpse Emperor to sublimate and be buried with him.
"Want to kill this Emperor? Old thing, I'll take you to the grave first!"
The Corpse Emperor shouted, took down the Imperial Weapon from his back, and casually pulled the bowstring. There was no arrow nocked, but a trembling sound came out, which made people's souls feel like they were about to shatter.
He was only afraid of the Underworld Emperor; the other Supremes were not as good as him.
"Strong—so strong?!"
Several Supremes changed color one after another. It was the first time they had seen the Corpse Emperor take action. A self-slashed person—why did he still have such an aura?
It wasn't that they couldn't beat the Corpse Emperor, but that the self-slashed Supreme's Great Dao was flawed. Unless they sublimated, their means were flawed.
"An Emperor for the second life—truly extraordinary. The Corpse Emperor is so terrifying; what level has the Underworld Emperor reached?"
The Lord of Primordial was extremely ancient and knew the Corpse Emperor's background. He was the Emperor Corpse of a Chaotic Ancient Supreme, attaining the Dao again. Although he had self-slashed a blade, his blood essence was not weak.
"Good, good. Fellow Daoists, do not hurt the harmony."
Amitabha chanted a Buddhist name and stepped forward to persuade them, manifesting ten thousand feet of Buddha light to isolate the battlefield and temporarily separate the several Supremes.
"Blood Phoenix, Myriad Dragon, Qilin, Golden, Kunpeng, Hou Supreme, Corpse Emperor..."
Lin Xian looked at the Seven Emperors of Primordial and the current situation, suddenly laughing, which drew Amitabha's attention.
What kind of situation was this? It was almost a battle of the Seven Emperors. Dark turmoil might break out, and you kid still have the mood to laugh?
If it weren't for the World-Honored Amitabha being a monk, he would have wanted to curse at this moment.
"The Seven Emperors have formed a subtle balance. Only with competition is there vitality. Without the Corpse Emperor, several Supremes would huddle together for warmth, contact each other privately, and resist the Heavenly Court. If there is a Corpse Emperor, there is a threat. With many monks and little porridge, they compete with each other."
"As for the Corpse Emperor, he seems powerful, but he actually has the fatal flaw of the reincarnation imprint."
"Perhaps there is no need for alternative attainment of the Dao; Duan De at the Quasi-Emperor realm can handle him."
Thinking of this, Lin Xian suddenly laughed loudly. He shook the Human Emperor Banner in his hand, released the aura of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, the Taiyin Human Emperor, and the Sun Holy Emperor, and said loudly: "I have a word; I ask the Emperors to listen quietly."
The Human Emperor Banner expanded with the wind, accompanied by the sound of all spirits chanting, supreme and exalted, as if ancient ancestors were praying, worshiping the ancient Human Emperor, shedding hot blood, and walking with the sun and moon. All the stars in the heavens revolved around it, like a supreme Huang Tiandi!
Divine Thought?
All the Ancient Emperors' pupils shrank, and they gasped. How could there be such a thing? The Divine Thought of the Great Accomplishment Holy Body that Lin Xian released in the Primordial Ancient Mine earlier was not his true trump card; now it was in a complete and flawless state.
One Divine Thought could take away half a Supreme's life. The Divine Thoughts of three Emperor-level powerhouses manifested together; at the very least, they could take away one Supreme.
"Good, good, good. No wonder Fellow Daoist Lin is fearless and dares to enter the Primordial Ancient Mine alone. So it was because of such a fierce weapon."
The Lord of Primordial said with a solemn expression: "What a Myriad Soul Banner. A ghost-path evil spirit can actually have such a holy aura. It really has been played to the extreme."
"It is the Human Emperor Banner," Lin Xian corrected again.
"Human Emperor Banner?" The Emperors' eyes narrowed, seemingly recognizing the source of the Divine Thought, and they gasped: "It is him—that Human Emperor of the human race in legend, extremely ancient."
"In legend, like the Demon Emperor, he grasped the gap of the immortal path for a fleeting moment through the ages and attacked, but in the end, he couldn't become an immortal?"
"And the Sun Holy Emperor—that scorching aura, I cannot be mistaken. He attained the Dao after me."
The Emperors were completely numb. One Divine Thought of a Great Accomplishment Holy Body that was no weaker than a Great Emperor in his lifetime was one thing, but why was there the Divine Thought of a Human Emperor?
The Taiyin Human Emperor's strength was extraordinary. Back then, he often visited forbidden zones and killed Supremes, leaving a deep impression on them.
Inside the Human Emperor Banner, there really was a Human Emperor. This world was truly outrageous.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please speak."
The other several Ancient Emperors looked at each other and stopped there, addressing each other as fellow Daoists.
On one hand, they thought Lin Xian was very likely some old monster who had been reborn through Nirvana, and his status was on par with them.
Most importantly, this banner could truly threaten their lives.
So-called negotiations and talks must be established on the basis of strength.
Without strength, no matter how illustrious or noble one's status was, one still needed to borrow strength to make a sound, and it was only a suggestion, not a decision-making power.
"Actually, the Heavenly Court still has an immortal path. The risk is a bit greater, but the return is very high. So-called wealth is sought in danger."
Lin Xian said. Before the words had faded, the several Supremes' eyeballs were about to pop out.
The Heavenly Court still has an immortal path?!
After the longevity method and the immortal pill, there were actually other ways. This immortal Dao was too broad, making them, the Supremes struggling in the forbidden zones, look very dull.
"Fellow Daoist, just speak. If we were afraid of risk, we wouldn't be Supremes."
The Kunpeng Supreme hurriedly asked. They, the seekers of immortality, were not afraid of many threats on the road; they were most afraid of having no road ahead and only being able to consume themselves in this quagmire of the Great Universe.
"Several Ancient Emperors, have you heard of evolving an Immortal Domain?"
Lin Xian smiled knowingly, incomparably mysterious.
Amitabha almost laughed out loud. Evolving an Immortal Domain—are you pointing to the bottomless pit that even the Myriad Qing Huang Tiandi, who transformed from an Undying Medicine, fell into?
The Dao fruit of this longevity method was naturally extraordinary, but it was just a little bit difficult in the middle.
Even the Green Emperor couldn't do it. Relying on these few Supremes, I'm afraid they are just going to their deaths.
"Evolving an Immortal Domain."
The Qilin Ancient Emperor said: "Is it that path of the Green Emperor?"
Lin Xian had told the Qilin Ancient Emperor before that while the Supremes of the forbidden zones were still playing old routines and old games, thinking about attacking the immortal path, the Green Emperor had already started to evolve an Immortal Domain in the mortal world where everyone could live forever, which could be called far ahead!
"Not bad. This is the path with the most potential in our Heavenly Court."
Lin Xian was impassioned and shouted: "How many Ancient Emperors and Human Emperors through the ages have been seeking the Dao of immortality, wanting to break into another world and live forever, but they all failed."
"Then why can't we blaze a new trail, create a new Immortal Domain ourselves, and build a world where all living beings can live forever!"
If it could be realized, it would be a miracle unprecedented in history, destined to be remembered in history, worshiped by all living beings. Whatever Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerate or Desolate Huang Tiandi would all have to make room for the Green Emperor.
Lord of the Immortal Domain, Myriad Qing Immortal Lord—Loyal! Faithful!
However, this blood-boiling speech did not receive a response from any Ancient Emperor.
Several Supremes stood there coldly, with a trace of disgust in their eyes, as if looking at a fool. Even the Myriad Dragon Emperor shook his head, considering whether to change his son-in-law, otherwise it would affect the intelligence of his descendants. He didn't want the descendants of the Myriad Dragon Nest to be idiots.
Evolving an Immortal Domain in the world—what kind of heaven-shaking wisdom must it take to come up with such a heaven-shaking plan?
Is it that the Ancient Emperors don't want to open up an Immortal Domain?
Yes, they really can't do it.
It's difficult enough to live forever themselves. Evolving an Immortal Domain—even the craziest Supreme wouldn't dare to think like that.
"Of course, evolving a legendary Immortal Domain is not very realistic."
"But we can forge a Divine Domain."
Lin Xian coughed lightly. He didn't want to be half-paralyzed and end up with the same fate as the Green Emperor. His true goal was to forge a simplified version of an Immortal Domain.
With the small bronze coffin as the core, integrating the Bodhisattva Realm, letting the Green Emperor preside over the creation of the world, forming a youthful version of an Immortal Domain.
"Divine Domain—a world forged by faith?"
Several Ancient Emperors associated this with that kind of longevity method and looked at Amitabha, lost in thought. As peerless Emperors, their names spread through the heavens and rivers of stars, and they were worshiped by all living beings, more or less obtaining the power of faith.
Under the blessing of the power of faith, the physical body and Primordial Spirit were moistened. Although it could not let the Ancient Emperor live forever, it could extend their life by one or two thousand years.
Don't underestimate this one or two thousand years. Peerless Supremes, standing at the peak of humanity—what kind of medicine king hadn't they eaten? Even Undying Medicine had been consumed. Besides the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, only the power of faith had such a wonderful effect.
"Divine Domain—a spiritual realm, an immortal world..."
The Golden Ancient Emperor suddenly shuddered, recalling the Golden Divine Treasure he had created. Touching that spiritual realm, regret emerged in his heart; he seemed to have missed a shortcut to longevity.
Amitabha chanted a Buddhist name, evolving the Bodhisattva Realm. Lin Xian held the Human Emperor Banner, faith blessed it, and it shone brilliantly with it.
"Through the ages, the Great Emperor's physical body is immortal, even deriving the Emperor Corpse's spiritual intelligence, condensing the reincarnation imprint—this longevity method, do the Emperors approve?"
Lin Xian asked again: "The physical body is the foundation of our invincible system. In fact, it is already close to an immortal body. Do the Emperors approve?"
"Naturally." The Corpse Emperor spoke. He was a personal experiencer, crossing millions of years of time, the Emperor Corpse was immortal.
Other Supremes also nodded. Why did they dare to claim to conquer immortals? It was because their invincible physical bodies gave them confidence.
"Since the physical body is immortal, what is lacking is the Primordial Spirit."
Lin Xian flicked his finger, took out that fragment of the Void God Realm, let it merge with the Bodhisattva Realm, and signaled to the Emperors: "Since that is the case, why can't we settle for the next best thing and evolve a Divine Domain that can allow the spirit to live forever and delay the aging of the Primordial Spirit?"
The Golden Ancient Emperor looked at the Void God Realm fragment, suddenly trembling. After a long time, he murmured: "Did I miss it after all?"
The essence of the Void God Realm was forged by the spiritual power of Immortal Kings. Like Undying Medicine, it was a product left over from the Immortal Ancient Era and could fear no mortal world, remaining immortal through the ages.
The Emperors observed this fragment, each having their own insights, but they reached a common conclusion: to evolve a Divine Domain, the power of faith was the most important.
"So that's it. No wonder the Heavenly Court doesn't want Supremes who have launched dark turmoil."
The Corpse Emperor suddenly realized and understood Lin Xian's meaning. He was suddenly a bit coy, then coughed lightly and said: "Actually, this Emperor also has a heart of great love. I, too, can love the universe, love all living beings, and love the Heavenly Court."
Although the living beings feared power and not virtue, they were not fools after all. Who would be willing to bow down and worship someone who had once destroyed the world?
Coupled with the existence of the Heavenly Court in this life, which could resist the forbidden zones, even the power of awe-inspiring thoughts had decreased a lot.
"The Divine Domain is a retreat. If there are changes in the immortal path, the Emperors might as well enter our Heavenly Court's Divine Domain to evolve longevity together."
Lin Xian smiled faintly, eyeing the productivity of the Emperors.
What was the most precious thing in the Great Universe? Besides Undying Medicine, it was naturally the various Supreme medicines in the forbidden zones.
These were all former attainers of the Dao who had wasted their lives on the immortal path. Wouldn't that be a waste?
It would be better to pull them to the bronze coffin to work and contribute to the evolution of the Immortal Domain.
