Chapter 455: 【Duan De, You Wouldn't Want...】

"The Emperor has many illnesses; you should encourage him."

Lin Xian patted Great Sage Huntu on the shoulder, his face warm and encouraging.

"I dare not speak nonsense."

Great Sage Huntu was so frightened that he shuddered, shook his head repeatedly, and was extremely terrified: "These are words that could get one killed!"

"Old Huntu, what are you thinking?"

"Why, do you also want to be the Tuo Huang Tiandi?"

Lin Xian looked sideways and laughed, clapping his hands: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Huntu to have such grand ambitions. I have long been displeased with Ye Di Zun. If the Heavenly Court holds a public election in the future, I will definitely vote for you."

"Big Dipper rises, Huntu King, slaughters the nine heavens and destroys the ten earths!"

"Holy Master, spare me!" Great Sage Huntu begged for mercy repeatedly. How could a Great Sage like him dare to get involved in such a high-end game? Even if ten Quasi-Emperors came, they would all be drowned.

"So that's not what you meant, Fellow Daoist." Lin Xian said regretfully: "What a pity, truly a pity. It was a misunderstanding."

Great Sage Huntu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered: "Then what did the Holy Master mean?"

"I just meant to mean it." Lin Xian smiled freely and said leisurely: "I see that the Emperor has many tribulations and fears that Dao injuries are added to his body, leaving him no leisure to handle the Heavenly Court's government affairs. I wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Huntu to help out a little."

"So that's it." Great Sage Huntu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously: "How was the Emperor injured? Who in the Heavenly Court could injure the Emperor?"

"Don't worry about that." Lin Xian coughed lightly. This topic could not even be mentioned.

Great Sage Huntu understood in a second. This was the most core secret of the Heavenly Court, not something he could get involved in. He immediately looked solemn: "Yes, Holy Master."

Then, Great Sage Huntu paused and asked: "Then when should this old man go to the Eternal Ancient Star?"

In recent years, Big Dipper had been too chaotic. The Immortal Road already had signs of opening, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land had immortal energy flowing from time to time, and Saints from outside the territory were descending in batches. The local beings of the five regions of Big Dipper were also restless, constantly using Emperor weapons, and Supremes were clashing from time to time. It was even more chaotic than the end of the Primordial Era.

Great Sage Huntu was terrified, feeling that he could not stay in Big Dipper, and that it was safer outside the territory.

"Three days later. The Eternal spaceship is very precise, and the materials are also complex. It requires Daluo Silver Essence, Suet Jade Iron, Nine Heavens Divine Domain, and also requires extremely high spatial attainments."

"The Ji family and several Great Sages proficient in artifact refining are working overnight to decipher and replicate the flying saucer."

Lin Xian said, then pointed a finger, transmitting the coordinate star map of the Eternal Star Domain and the five-colored crystals to Great Sage Huntu, telling him to install teleportation formations on planets along the way that lacked five-colored altars, acting as the vanguard to open up a star path.

The universe was too big, the dark heavens were vast and boundless, and the deepest parts were countless stars. Only Quasi-Emperors were qualified to traverse the galaxy with their physical bodies, tear through space, and travel the universe.

Below the Quasi-Emperor level, Saints could at most wander in their own star domain, and Saint Kings had the risk of getting lost on star journeys. But if one mastered the coordinates and had five-colored altars, walking along the direction of the Starry Sky Ancient Road would be much safer.

The Great Sage demon gods like Daxia Longque who attacked Earth thousands of years ago came along the Starry Sky Ancient Road, with five-colored altars to transfer along the way.

"Altars, star gates, teleportation arrays—these are things that only when an Ancient Emperor is in power will the great universe build to let all races come to worship. Is the Heavenly Court really going to rule the world?"

Great Sage Huntu's heart trembled, then he agreed. Three days later, he took a team of people and embarked on the journey along the ancient star path.

"Grandfather, you must return from the expedition!"

"We are waiting for you in Big Dipper."

Huntu was a small clan, with only a dozen people in one family. The descendants looked out from Big Dipper, their eyes full of tears, waving their arms to say goodbye.

"Fellow Daoist Huntu, collect a little more intelligence on Eternal..."

There were also Great Sages of the Ancient Emperor clans secretly transmitting messages. They learned that conquering Eternal was an order given by the Ancient Emperors, so they were very active. Without the Heavenly Court urging them, they gathered troops and collected supplies, preparing to set out at any time.

"Senior Huntu, help us pay attention to the ancestral stars on the Starry Sky Ancient Road."

Some Ancient clans who were on good terms with Great Sage Huntu requested. They also saw that Big Dipper was becoming harder and harder to mix in. Not only was the human race strong, but the Saints from outside the territory were also tough characters, all cultivators from ancient star domains like Tongtian, Huosang, Amitabha, and Feixian...

"Great Sage Huntu, have a safe journey!"

Some people waved goodbye and shouted, almost causing Huntu to fall. A Great Sage's physical body hit a planet, and the planet exploded instantly.

Great Sage Huntu glared. Which god of bad luck was this, daring to curse him like this?

The Ancient clan member who spoke was quickly pulled away by his elders to be reprimanded and punished, and they apologized to Great Sage Huntu.

Great Sage Huntu was a good-natured person, and after his anger passed, he did not pursue it further.

Lin Xian, however, was shocked. He originally thought that Great Sage Huntu was already invincible in the world, but he did not expect that there would always be someone stronger.

He looked over and saw that the Ancient clan member was not in human form, but was wearing a Daoist robe and a lotus crown.

After inquiring carefully, Lin Xian learned that the ancestors of this Ancient clan had a connection with the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate, and the progenitor had listened to lectures under his sect, always considering himself a member of the Daoist religion.

"Burial Emperor Star, crouching tiger, hidden dragon." Lin Xian sighed, then represented the Heavenly Court to go up and offer condolences, seeing off Great Sage Huntu to serve as an envoy to the Eternal Ancient Star.

Sending him off for thirty light-years, almost walking out of the Big Dipper star domain, Great Sage Huntu sacrificed the spaceship, waved his hand and said: "No need to send me off. This old man will go and return quickly, and there will be a day to meet again."

"Respectfully send off the Great Sage to cruise the heavens!"

Whether it was the human race or the Ancient clans, at this moment, they all knelt down to express their respect.

"I was originally a carefree person on Big Dipper Star..."

Great Sage Huntu hummed a little tune, driving the spaceship, driving further and further away, and finally with a flash, crossed the wormhole, tore through space, and fled in another direction.

Specialization in a trade, this was the unique aspect of Eternal technology. If it were physical strength, at least a Quasi-Emperor would need to master such a spatial Dao.

After sending off Great Sage Huntu, Lin Xian did not rush back to Big Dipper Star, but took a step across the starry sky and arrived above the Great Sun.

The temperature of the Sun Star was extremely high, the fire was surging, and the Yang energy was boiling. It was a life forbidden land, rarely visited by people since ancient times, and even Saints had to be cautious.

However, Lin Xian had cultivated the Sun Holy Power and held the branches of the Fusang Divine Tree, so he naturally did not fear this temperature and calmly stepped into the deepest part of the Sun Star.

At the end, there was a magnificent and simple palace, engraved with various runes, with patterns of ancient ancestors worshiping the sun, and also imprints of three-legged divine birds, lifelike, as if it were a prehistoric relic, with a weathered ancient meaning as if it came from the Primordial Era, making people immersed in a special atmosphere.

"The handiwork of the Sun Holy Emperor. Duan De chose this place; he really has dealt with the Human Emperor."

Lin Xian whispered, holding the Human Emperor Banner to guide the Sun Holy Power, reflecting the simple and ancient scriptures on the stone palace, all of which were about the cultivation of fire-type Dao arts.

Aside from the main hall, there were many temples, and there was even a palace bathing in the sun's fire essence, exuding an eternal weathered atmosphere, with four words written on it—Sun Ancient Temple!

From shallow to deep, from nothing to something, one could see the traces of the Sun Holy Emperor's initial creation of the scriptures. This was the prototype of the Sun Immortal Scripture!

The Sun True Spirit inside the Human Emperor Banner was stirred, and under the blessing of faith, sighed softly: "A place where I once cultivated..."

The Human Emperor sighed. A million years of the Primordial Era, although hurried, he had already passed away, leaving only a trace of obsession in the human world.

"Is there really immortality?"

As the Holy Emperor's true spirit's eyes turned, through the formation palace left by his previous life, he looked at the divine cocoon in the deepest part of the Sun Star and muttered: "Four reincarnation seals, he has succeeded for another life."

The formation at the core was extremely ancient, existing for at least millions of years, and it was still operating, absorbing the fire essence of heaven and earth, and merging the origin of all things.

Lin Xian was thoughtful: "Duan De comes here every life, repeating the past events. Will he be moved and find back his former memories?"

"There will be sporadic instincts, but unless one becomes an Immortal, one cannot penetrate reincarnation."

The Holy Emperor's true spirit said indifferently and fell back into silence. The massive power of faith could only maintain his recovery for a few seconds; it was impossible to stay in the human world permanently. If the Holy Emperor were to manifest, it would definitely be when the dark turmoil struck.

"Faith is still too little. Ziwei, Honghuang, Big Dipper—the power of faith from three life ancient stars is not enough. Only faith at the level of the great universe, gathering the power of the myriad heavens and domains and the myriad races of the universe, can nourish the Emperor Spirit."

"Eternal must be conquered, and other life sources cannot be exceptions."

Lin Xian sighed, put away the Human Emperor Banner, and then took out the branches of the Fusang Divine Tree, relying on the power of this Undying Medicine to walk on flat ground within the Sun Star, until he encountered a corner of the Emperor formation and stopped his steps.

With Duan De's personality, how could he not leave a backup for himself? Aside from a corner of the Emperor formation, there was also a Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar exuding wisps of black light, hanging down thousands of chaotic energies, protecting Duan De's nirvana body.

"Good fellow, this lair is truly solid. Even Great Sages can't break it. At least a Quasi-Emperor holding an Emperor weapon would need to come."

Lin Xian circled the immortal cocoon for a long time, muttering and calling out: "Duan De, are you there? Fat dead man, answer me. Underworld Emperor, Underworld Venerable, Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Venerate, Cao Yusheng..."

Regrettably, no matter how Lin Xian called, Duan De seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, turning a deaf ear to the outside world, and even emitting a sweet snoring sound.

"Hei Huang's Duan De is playing dead, right."

Lin Xian gritted his teeth, but had no way. As a Source Heaven Master who had learned formations from Hei Huang for a few days, he knew very well that once a Quasi-Emperor or even Supreme-level power forcibly broke the Emperor formation, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar at the core would immediately take the immortal cocoon and break through the air to leave.

Helpless, Lin Xian sighed, pretending to turn and leave, shaking his head and saying: "It seems he is really asleep. What a pity. The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill that the Heavenly Court is going to refine, you have no blessing to enjoy."

"Immortal Pill?"

"What Immortal Pill!"

Duan De was currently wrapped in the Qi of Extreme Yang, refining his true body and purifying his flesh and blood. He should have been in the stage of closing his life-and-death seclusion, but his desire for rare treasures made his spirit wander outside the heavens, and there was actually a trace of soul fluctuation, struggling to wake up.

This was not the memory of the Primordial Spirit, but the instinct engraved in the flesh and blood, in the deepest part of the genes!

"No Immortal Pill, you heard wrong."

Lin Xian smiled brightly: "The Heavenly Court is going to refine the evolution gene fluid of the Eternal Star Domain."

"Evolution fluid, the semi-finished product of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill?"

Duan De was worthy of being an old antique. Even if he had lost 99% of his previous life's memories, now that the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art was about to be completed, in a trance, he still spat out a great secret.

The Ancient Heavenly Court mastered the complete pill formula. After the collapse at the end of the Mythological Era, it was divided into two. One part became the Nine-Turn Jin Dan of the Eight Views Palace, and one part became the Nine-Turn Immortal Fluid of the Eternal Star.

The things refined by these two were not the real Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. Only by collecting great medicine, refining golden fluid, jade fluid returning to the pill, Yin extreme Yang birth, and going through the work of seven returns of the golden pill and nine returns of the immortal fluid, was it the real Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

This secret was only known to the Heavenly Venerates of the Mythological Era, such as Lingbao Heavenly Venerate and the Emperor, who had refined it personally. Later Ancient Emperors only had a half-understanding of this.

"Nine-Turn Golden Fluid, that is a good thing. Which stage have you refined to!"

Duan De was very excited and shouted: "Sprinkle a little quickly, pour it on my Dao cocoon."

The Nine-Turn Immortal Fluid contained heaven-defying divine minerals, imprinted with the essential law fragments of the world, etc. It could not only let cultivators break through, but also help people transform, and could be called a panacea.

"Sprinkling a little is fine, but you have to tell me the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art, the complete version."

Lin Xian held a jade clean bottle, smiling brightly, with a feeling of slaughtering a big household.

Although Duan De had exchanged cultivation methods with the Heavenly Court, with his personality, it would definitely not be the complete version of the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art; he would definitely hold back.

If it were other cultivation methods, it would be fine to just use them as reference, but the incomplete version of the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art was the most pit-falling.

The complete version of the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art could cross ten thousand tribulations, even death tribulations. The incomplete version of the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art was most afraid of thunder tribulations, which could be called two extremes, making people doubt whether it was the same cultivation method.

"Grandmother's, you kid is taking advantage of the fire!"

Duan De gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This Heavenly Art, I have never passed it on to outsiders. It contains my deepest mysteries."

"If you don't give it, then forget it." Lin Xian sighed: "Another day, I will ask the Corpse Emperor to come and take it personally."

"Corpse Emperor? Who is the Corpse Emperor?" Duan De was stunned for a moment, always feeling that this name was very familiar.

"Your former war slave." Lin Xian said sonorously and righteously: "A warrior who suffered torture by the Underworld Emperor and is now fighting for freedom, a Supreme of the Underworld who has escaped low-level interests and sent out one hundred thousand underworld soldiers and generals to catch the Underworld Venerable... The Heavenly Court sympathizes with his encounter very much."

Duan De was completely numb, and said in a weak voice: "What does the sin committed by the Underworld Emperor have to do with me, Duan De."

"I recognize you, Duan De, but the Corpse Emperor doesn't."

Lin Xian smiled slightly: "Lord Underworld Emperor, you wouldn't want the Corpse Emperor to come to your door and have a heart-to-heart talk with you, right."

Duan De inside the immortal cocoon shuddered, a great fear swept through his heart, and he gritted his teeth: "Come over, I will pass you the Immortal Platform scroll."

A scripture emerged, every word a pearl, pregnant with the great wisdom of the Heavenly Venerate.

You can say Duan De is bad, but you absolutely cannot say he is weak.

Although he was slightly weak among a group of Heavenly Emperors, he was only a little weaker than a few Red Dust Immortals.
