Chapter 445: 【The bronze coffin is not for burial, but for crossing】
"Divine Realm—is it a place similar to the Primordial Ancient Mine and the Heaven Cave?"
"Does it truly exist, or is it a fantasy Void Realm?"
The Emperors communicated secretly, exchanging opinions. If there really was such a small Immortal Domain, it would be a retreat, and they would naturally be willing to move out of the Primordial Ancient Mine to help.
Don't look at the several Supremes who have been cultivating the Dao for a million years; in fact, most of the time, they spent it self-slashing a blade and staying in the Divine Source. In reality, their cultivation time was only twenty or thirty thousand years. During this period, at most, they occasionally awakened to exchange longevity methods and discuss insights on becoming immortals.
If they really had a million years, with the Primordial Spirit concentrating on the Dao, let alone the aptitude of an Ancient Emperor, even a pig could become an immortal.
In the Immortal Domain of the past, geniuses who attained the Dao at twenty thousand years old were hailed as having the aptitude of a True Immortal and hope of becoming an immortal. If they attained the Dao at one or two thousand years old, it was something only a young Immortal King could do, and they would sooner or later step into the True Immortal realm, having the aptitude of an Immortal King.
Of course, the aptitude of an Immortal King was just a reputation, similar to a certain Wang Teng who had the aptitude of a Great Emperor. Having imperial aptitude didn't mean one would definitely become an Emperor, and having the aptitude of an Immortal King didn't mean one was destined to attain the Dao of an Immortal King. There were various difficulties and obstacles on the road of cultivation that caused geniuses to fall.
"Does such a world really exist? There is no longevity substance."
The Lord of the Primordial Ancient Mine raised a question, pointing to the Bodhisattva Realm evolved by Lin Xian and Amitabha. Although it had integrated a fragment of the Void God Realm and had a foundation, gradually becoming substantial, it lacked that immortal aura.
Why was the Primordial Ancient Mine special? It was because it had immortal aura, which delayed the aging of Supremes. The current Void God Realm could at best maintain obsessions and remnant souls; it could not act on the Supremes at all.
"The evolution of the Bodhisattva Realm today is just the success of my cultivation, not the Green Emperor's final Dao fruit."
"What the Green Emperor wants to open up is a true Western Paradise!"
Lin Xian's expression did not change as he bluffed half-truthfully: "Green lotus flowers bloom, and one ascends to paradise early. The true Divine Domain is on the other shore, inside an immortal coffin."
"A coffin?"
A strange look appeared in the Emperors' eyes. You kid really isn't lying to us? If you lie in a coffin, there's still a chance of resurrection? Could it be the Emperor Corpse's spiritual intelligence?
"It is indeed a coffin, it is just a coffin, and it can only be a coffin."
Lin Xian's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said sonorously: "Attain the Dao in the past, lie dormant in the present, fly to immortality in the future, rise in decay, and revive in extinction—this is the true meaning of the coffin."
The Three-Life Bronze Coffin represented the past life, the present life, and the future. It was a place of slumber, a place of rest, and a war fortress for powerhouses.
Lying dormant in the coffin, hoping to be stronger in the future!
The bronze coffin is not for burial, but for crossing—guiding the Primordial Spirits of the Emperors, helping people feather and become immortals. This is the true usage of the bronze coffin.
The Green Emperor did not ask for help from others, did not borrow the power of the external heavens, but wanted to create and transform a true Immortal Domain himself, and ultimately failed.
Lin Xian settled for the next best thing, evolving a world that allowed the spirit to live forever, and drew lessons from his predecessors. He not only wanted the power of the external heavens but also asked for help—asking for immortal medicine, asking for Supremes, and borrowing the power of all living beings to jointly forge the Divine Domain.
"The evolution of the Divine Domain has already taken shape. His Majesty the Green Emperor has already achieved phased results and is about to succeed. Only the last step remains. If the Emperors have the heart, you can come to the Heavenly Court to evolve the Great Dao together. It will not just be one person flying to immortality, but the entire sect flying to immortality, and all living beings can live forever."
Lin Xian chanted the Scripture of Crossing People, looking like a great bluffer, and taught the Emperor Scripture to the Emperors. This was a version he had improved, corrected by the Dark Immortal Emperor, and had supreme profundity.
"Chant it ten times, the heavens will sing from afar, ten thousand Emperors will set up rituals, rivers and seas will be silent, mountains will hide clouds, the sun and moon will stop their scenery, the celestial mechanism will not move, all demons will be bound, ghosts and spirits will be extinguished, corpses will return to life, white bones will become people..."
The Emperors tried chanting the scripture one after another, and the power of faith poured into the Bodhisattva Realm, flying into the Human Emperor Banner. Even the three Divine Thoughts were chanting, becoming more holy, bright, and incomparably brilliant.
This scripture was incomparably profound, not only capable of crossing people to transcendence but also capable of crossing gods and crossing oneself to immortality.
"Lingbao Heavenly Venerate!"
The Emperors were all bathed in immortal light and gained many benefits. Only the Corpse Emperor roared, his eyes full of wariness. Rolling Yin energy surged in his body, and a pure white halo appeared. It was the famous reincarnation imprint. It looked incomparably holy on the surface, but it made people shudder, as if facing the entire Underworld, and there was a cold chill in his bones.
There was gloominess in the holiness, and corpse evil in the rosy light. Facing the Scripture of Crossing People, his instinct was suppressed.
Although they couldn't achieve the ten thousand Emperors setting up rituals and crossing people to immortality, there were definitely ten Emperors chanting to cross him, almost sending the Corpse Emperor away.
"Accumulate Yang to become a god, there is form in the god. Form is born from the sun, and the sun is born from the moon. Accumulate Yin to become form, there is a god in the form..."
Seeing this, the Emperors raised their eyebrows. Not only did they not stop chanting, but they increased the sincerity of their reading. With the seven Supremes working together, there was nothing in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that couldn't be crossed.
Although the Heavenly Court Divine Domain was a retreat, if they could break into the Immortal Domain in the posture of a physical body and live forever, who would be willing to leave their Primordial Spirit in the human world and live under someone else's roof?
One more Corpse Emperor wasn't much, and one less Corpse Emperor wasn't much. Killing one more Supreme meant one less opponent on the immortal path.
"They are all black-hearted." Lin Xian looked at the posture of the Emperors and couldn't help shaking his head.
"The Scripture of Crossing People is strong, but if this Emperor slashes another blade and removes the reincarnation imprint, I will still be a Supreme!"
The Corpse Emperor roared, his voice shaking the nine heavens, and shouted: "This imprint is unfathomable, even stronger than an Imperial Weapon. At least two of you will have to accompany this Emperor on the road."
Once these words were spoken, the Emperors changed color one after another and stopped chanting, all having wariness in their hearts.
"Fellow Daoist Corpse Emperor, you are joking. We are all Supremes of the forbidden zones, connected by the same breath. How could we kill you?"
The Kunpeng Supreme laughed and said: "It was just a joke just now."
The Corpse Emperor glared. Damn it, you old guy were the one chanting the loudest just now and contributed the most power of faith.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many of you and I couldn't beat you, I would have fought you to the death.
"Corpse Emperor, calm your anger. We just saw you surrounded by black energy and feared that you had fallen into the devil's path, so we wanted to help you drive away the evil."
The Lord of the Primordial Ancient Mine stepped forward to smooth things over: "It was all sincere."
"Heh heh..." The Corpse Emperor sneered. Sincere? I think it was murderous intent. If the effect of the Scripture of Crossing People had been a little stronger, I'm afraid you wouldn't have stopped.
"Good, good." Amitabha put his hands together and said: "Several fellow Daoists, do not hurt the harmony. This matter should still be blamed on Saint Master Lin for not considering it thoroughly and accidentally hurting the Corpse Emperor."
"This matter is indeed my fault, causing the Corpse Emperor to be injured."
Lin Xian sighed, stepped forward to plead guilty, and then drew a big cake: "If the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is refined in the future, I will definitely give the Corpse Emperor one. In addition, our Heavenly Court is communicating with the Underworld, striving to obtain the flawless Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art. If the Corpse Emperor is interested, you can come to the Heavenly Court to take a look in the future."
"Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art?"
Hearing these two terms, the Corpse Emperor's expression changed. Even though he knew Lin Xian was drawing a cake, he still couldn't help but be moved. He coughed lightly and said: "It has caused the Heavenly Court to spend money."
Since the seven Ancient Emperors couldn't tolerate him, he could only lean toward the Heavenly Court, which was also a way.
Especially the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art. If he obtained this scripture and comprehended the Great Dao within it, his fear of the Underworld Emperor would also dissipate a bit.
"Immortal pill, immortal pill—in the end, it's still the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill."
The Lord of Primordial sighed lightly. The immortal path hadn't arrived, and the Divine Domain was empty. Only the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill was a solid benefit, and there were traces to follow in history.
At the end of the Mythological Era, the Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court refined a furnace and invited the Longevity Heavenly Venerate and others to come out of the mountains to plot the immortal path together.
The power of examples was infinite. It was precisely because of this example that the Emperors were willing to gamble with the Heavenly Court.
"When will the immortal pill start refining?"
The Kunpeng Supreme narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "While we old guys are all here, if there are any difficulties, bring them up. Everyone working together, even Undying Medicine can be found."
"Prepare more materials and strive to refine a few more. Then the problem will be solved."
The Emperors nodded, and then gave their own insights one after another.
"I heard that there is a Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine in the Undying Mountain."
"There is also an Undying Flat Peach in the Divine Ruins."
"Divine Spring Water cannot be missing either. There are many immortal veins in the Reincarnation Sea."
"Should we cut down the Dao-Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree? This immortal tree has survived several times and is truly extraordinary. If we use it for firewood, maybe we can refine two more."
Several Supremes worked together and turned out the old foundations of the seven life forbidden zones. As for the morality of the forbidden zones—bah, what kind of thing is that? Is it as important as this Emperor becoming an immortal?
You say a word, I say a word, making Lin Xian break out in a cold sweat. In order to rescue the Dao-Enlightenment Tea Tree, this precious immortal treasure, he hurriedly persuaded: "Everyone seniors, our Heavenly Court is not short of Undying Medicine, and the Divine Spring is enough. Do not disturb other life forbidden zones, lest other Supremes emerge to snatch the immortal pill."
Several Ancient Emperors pondered for a moment and sighed: "That is indeed the case. With such a big commotion, fellow Daoists in other forbidden zones are not fools. They can see our thoughts at a glance, and then it will add a few more variables out of thin air."
"The Big Dipper cannot be moved, but there are countless treasures outside the territory. Far away from the Big Dipper, it will not be detected by other forbidden zones." Lin Xian saw this and inserted: "There is a life ancient star named Eternal, which holds half a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill prescription and uses this as the foundation of its civilization. It is precisely what our Heavenly Court needs."
"This star is based on Nine-Turn Evolution Liquid and has blazed a new trail on the road of medicine refining. For hundreds of thousands of years, it has collected I don't know how many materials."
"If we can take it, I dare not say we can provide every Supreme with a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, but refining seven or eight drops of Nine-Turn Immortal Liquid will not be a problem."
Nine-Turn Immortal Liquid? Eternal Ancient Star!
The Ancient Emperors' eyes lit up instantly. Although immortal liquid was not as good as an immortal pill, which could extend life for two thousand years, it was also a good thing.
A drop of Nine-Turn Immortal Liquid was enough to support a Supreme to go all out, restore blood essence, and briefly return to the peak state. If used at the moment the immortal path opened, it would have miraculous effects.
"Eternal Ancient Star—I heard the name of the Eternal Ancient Emperor back then, who considered himself a god. I didn't expect that on the road of alchemy, there would be such profundity. Being able to master half an immortal pill prescription—could it be related to the Ancient Heavenly Court?"
The Lord of Primordial was lost in thought. Attainers of the Dao had various titles: Mythological Era attained Venerable, Primordial Era was Emperor, Desolate Ancient Era was Great Emperor.
The main situation back then still depended on the mood of the attainer of the Dao. For example, the Queen Mother of the West and the Tai Emperor were both Desolate Ancient Great Emperors, but they had Emperor titles.
And in the early Primordial Era, influenced by the supreme god, the Undying Emperor, besides the Ancient Emperor title, there were often titles of gods.
For example, there was a Thunder Emperor in the Divine Ruins, known as the Thunder God.
"After the collapse of the Heavenly Court, the troops scattered and took root in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Domains. It is reasonable that one part took away the prescription."
The Kunpeng Supreme thought for a moment and suddenly thought: "The divine dynasty that was destroyed twenty-something thousand years ago was also established by the descendants of the Ancient Heavenly Court, right?"
The momentum of the ruthless Great Emperor destroying the Feathered Divine Dynasty back then was too great, alarming several life forbidden zones. The Supremes dared not not investigate, fearing that one day, like the Heaven-Severing Mountain Range, they would be destroyed by the Empress.
"That is indeed the case. Feathered Divine Dynasty, Feathered Great Emperor..."
The Emperors sighed one after another. The Ancient Heavenly Court had Emperors standing together, which was truly extraordinary. The descendants became Emperors one after another. If viewed from the perspective of origin, in fact, it had already broken the curse of "no two Emperors in one sect."
"Eternal Star—not just one Eternal Emperor. Later, there was a junior who was talented and brilliant, creating an alternative path, unique in the universe, attaining the Dao one or two million years ago, named Dao Yan, who had dealt with our Primordial Ancient Mine."
The Golden Ancient Emperor mentioned it. Back then, the Dao Yan Great Emperor mastered an Undying Divine Medicine, the Life Ancient Tree, which was extremely precious.
"One ancient star, two Ancient Emperors—it can be considered extremely brilliant. But with Emperors emerging together and the Heavenly Court being supreme, it is the trend. How can it be allowed to be presumptuous?"
The Emperors laughed freely. It was impossible for them to emerge in their true bodies for a long time. Before long, they would have to return to the Divine Source and continue to lie dormant, but slashing out a Dao body was still doable.
Ancient Emperor Dao body—Quasi-Emperor starting point. Seven Quasi-Emperors emerging together—who in the Great Universe could resist!
Moreover, the Heavenly Court had a Supreme, Amitabha, to suppress the formation, supreme in the current age.
And the Human Emperor Banner in Lin Xian's hand was absolutely worth a Supreme.
The Heavenly Court had long had the foundation to rule the world. This expedition to the universe was just realizing the map of unification a few years early.
Far away in the Eternal Ancient Star Domain, the Emperor's son, Dao Yi, suddenly shuddered. Looking at the outer starry sky, a whim came to his heart, vaguely feeling that a disaster of destroying the world was coming.
"Emperor's son, why are you terrified?"
Dao Yi's protector, a gray-haired Great Sage, asked in confusion: "Is it a disaster on the Immortal Feather Star, or did the Origin Demon or Divine Earth have a problem?"
"No, none of them... there is a big problem."
Dao Yi's expression was solemn. He was the son of a Great Emperor, connected to the luck of his mother star, protected by the Eternal Ancient Star. That feeling of a whim was not fake, but a warning of heavenly secrets.
"Do you want me to use the Divine Clothes to sit in the Eternal Main Star?"
The gray-haired Great Sage's expression was solemn, thinking that some outer-territory race wanted to attack Eternal. This was not strange. For hundreds of thousands of years, many Great Sage civilizations, and even Quasi-Emperor races, had tried, but they all lost to the Extreme Dao Divine Clothes.
Eternal had two Emperors. Originally, there were two Imperial Weapons to suppress luck, but unfortunately, one of the Eternal Imperial Weapons was broken by the Emperor Wu Shi Great Emperor.
But even so, one Imperial Weapon could suppress the ten directions of the galaxy, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, unique in the world.
"I'm afraid the Dao Yan Divine Clothes are also useless." Emperor's son Dao Yi murmured, having a great fear. That world-destroying aura was by no means comparable to ordinary calamities.
