Chapter 205: Immortal-Becoming Land, Divine-Marked Purple Gold Pagoda

Zhang Xuan carefully examined this area, feeling a sense of dizziness and fascination.

In this void, every mountain peak where the heads of the ten thousand Dragon Veins formed had peculiar protections; those protections flickered with light, incredibly brilliant and strangely dazzling, but Zhang Xuan did not even look at them.

Because those were places that absolutely could not be touched; the map marked those areas as the most dangerous, terrifying beyond compare.

While looking around, Zhang Xuan saw a patch of brilliant starlight shining in that area, and his heart stirred, then sank.

The starlight shining there was not fake, but a real patch of stars, all transformed by someone with supreme, great power into stone after stone suspended in that area, fixing a span of time and years.

Only a simple message was left there, yet it caused Zhang Xuan's spirit to shake violently.

"I... I am going to die, what will my younger sister do?"

The words were brief and permeated with sorrow; through the words, one could seemingly see a youth dying here, filled with grief.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan felt his scalp tingle; even the methods and strokes used in the surroundings felt familiar.

"It was left by the Ruthless Great Emperor; it seems I am truly approaching the core."

The ancient map seemed to have some resonance with this place, glowing slightly, but Zhang Xuan did not linger here for long, only glancing at it before paying it no more attention.

This was something the Ruthless Great Emperor left for her brother; leaving it here was perhaps with the thought that in the future, a similar flower might see this and recall fragments of the past.

Zhang Xuan had no intention of touching it; after a brief look, he bypassed this area and walked deeper along the map's path from other areas.

Arriving here, Zhang Xuan already felt uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

But at this step, Zhang Xuan also became increasingly cautious, because this was already approaching the final part of the map.

Safe areas were nearly non-existent; everywhere were terrifying killing traps, and they were terrifying Killing Arrays left behind by ancient Great Emperors.

Zhang Xuan walked through them step by step, not daring to use his Divine Power too much.

Before he had walked very far, Zhang Xuan's heart jolted.

Because in front of him, an incredibly powerful figure sat cross-legged atop a blue stone, their hair simply tied up with a wooden hairpin; boundless, terrifying power leaked from their body, thread by thread, and this alone made Zhang Xuan feel immense pressure.

A Great Saint!

Yes, and a dead Great Saint at that.

Regarding this, Zhang Xuan was very familiar; he currently had the remains of a Great Saint in his Chat Group's Red Packet, and he also communicated daily with that peak Great Saint from the Cai Family who had lived for eight thousand years.

Thus, he could distinguish the realm of the dead figure before him at a glance.

Yes, in this ancient mountain forest, this Great Saint had long since died.

This Great Saint's aura was still incredibly magnificent, their physical body appearing as if it were still alive, naturally breathing in and out the Divine Essence, yet their primordial spirit was empty and hollow, with nothing left.

As for the Kunlun Immortal Realm map, this final section was no longer in circulation.

Back then, powerful figures on Earth had wanted to collect the map, which was split into nine pieces, but the final piece was shattered during a struggle, so this last stretch of the path had no map circulating outside.

Except for the Immortal Treasure Map Zhang Xuan held, which was left by the Heavenly Court and contained the complete map, no one else had any way to enter this place.

To carve out a path, one could only use their life to tread it.

Unfortunately, as the Kunlun Immortal Realm left behind by the Heavenly Court during its peak, and as the supreme treasure land that nurtured the Immortal-Becoming Tripod, even a Quasi-Emperor would die an unnatural death if they forced their way into this area.

After all, that was the location left by the Heavenly Court at its absolute peak.

As a period where several Great Emperors coexisted, Zhang Xuan suspected that Lingbao Heavenly Venerable was still alive at that time, and as the creator of the Word Secret and the one who created the Array Diagram, Lingbao Heavenly Venerable could be called the most supreme figure in the world.

A large part of this might be the handiwork of Lingbao Heavenly Venerable; at his peak, Lingbao Heavenly Venerable was said to be able to kill the Immortals of heaven by organizing an Array Diagram.

His Zhu Xian Four Swords, when paired with the Array Diagram, if wielded by someone, would make it not very difficult to directly strangle a Supreme; he could be considered the most peak figure in the way of arrays.

Zhang Xuan carefully looked at the map and discovered that the Great Saint had walked correctly for a stretch in the previous part, but had veered off course here, and then died directly in this place, with no primordial spirit remaining.

Within their body, there was not only vitality and life force, but also a Divine Lamp that would last through the ages; it should be a supreme treasure refined by this Great Saint.

"What a pity!"

Zhang Xuan carefully compared the map and then shook his head with regret.

That person had deviated from the route and was not on the main path; if he were a Great Saint, he could still attempt to use the Soldier Secret or other means to move that Great Saint's body over.

But with his current realm, he could not withstand the Killing Array here at all; once he made a move, he would surely die an unnatural death.

Therefore, after judging for a moment, Zhang Xuan stopped lingering, took one regretful look at the place, and continued walking forward according to the Array Diagram.

And not long after walking forward, a patch of light, brilliant to the extreme, rose from the sky; Zhang Xuan felt his heart stir, and at the same time, he felt his body grow cold.

Another Great Saint had died here; compared to the previous one, this Great Saint had died even more miserably, their body already shattered, burned by endless flames, blood energy boiling, and red light shooting into the sky.

Even from far away, one could feel that kind of terrifying power.

Compared to the previous Great Saint, this one's strength and cultivation were clearly stronger, so they had walked further, and at the same time, died more miserably.

Zhang Xuan watched with his body growing cold, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

By the final stretch of the Kunlun Immortal Realm, the lowest cultivation of those who could penetrate this deep was a Great Saint, and even they could not walk far.

Seeing the miserable state of these figures, Zhang Xuan could not help but feel fortunate that he had not randomly experimented here when his cultivation was not very strong initially.

If Zhang Xuan had tried such reckless things early on, he might not have even reached this stage of the Kunlun Immortal Realm, and might have been killed by the powerful ancient beasts within the Kunlun Immortal Realm earlier on.

Zhang Xuan did not dare to act recklessly here, remaining very low-key the whole way, walking forward cautiously; he discovered a total of three Great Saints who had died in this area, and he did not relax, becoming even more cautious.

Because when he continued to go deep and walked a long distance, he finally felt an invisible killing intent and boundless majesty, even more terrifying and fierce than the previous Great Saints.

By this final stretch of the road, it was no longer Great Saints who were dying.

That boundless killing intent surged over from all directions of heaven and earth, mixed with supreme majesty, making one want to kneel down.

Zhang Xuan had no choice but to connect with that Nine-Orifice Stone Man in the Shenmu World to resist this omnipresent pressure.

But this could only resist it, allowing him to not be affected by this pressure; the leaking killing intent and death aura, however, could not be blocked.

The aura naturally emitted after a Quasi-Emperor died was enough to kill a Saint.

Zhang Xuan was forced, having no choice but to drape the Immortal Treasure Map over his body.

The ancient Immortal Treasure Map glowed slightly, isolating that kind of aura, and finally withstood this terrifying killing intent.

And only then did Zhang Xuan have the energy to look forward.

What made one sigh and feel terrified was that there was only a pile of shattered white Bone fragments and flesh there; a Quasi-Emperor had died there, and even the corpse could not be preserved.

Zhang Xuan is truly regretful this time.

If he really had the ability to take away the bodies of these three Great Saints and this one Quasi-Emperor, his Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art could directly reach an unimaginable level.

The Saint Sage Realm is completely no problem for him; if he could withstand it, even a Saint King would not be a problem.

It is a pity that, in the end, he can only leave with regret.

A Quasi-Emperor would die instantly here, so how could he possibly block it?

It is a pity that Zhang Xuan can only watch now, at most think about it, but cannot touch it at all, because that Quasi-Emperor's invincible physical body has even shattered.

There are over a hundred pieces of broken Bone, which is terrifying to behold.

That kind of Quasi-Emperor level energy flows and impacts wantonly in this piece of heaven and earth, terrifying and peerless.

But while feeling the most regret and shock, a sense of incomparable joy also welled up in Zhang Xuan's heart, because not far from where that Quasi-Emperor died, a pagoda crafted from God-Marked Purple Gold was quietly floating there.

That pagoda is not tall, only half a meter high, but it possesses a temperament that suppresses the ages; it lies there quietly, as if the eternal blue sky is suppressing this place.

What is more critical is that the path there is a safe zone, not an incomparably dangerous place; Zhang Xuan was even a bit mesmerized, or even entranced, as he watched.

As early as half a year ago or even earlier, he knew that there was this pagoda crafted from God-Marked Purple Gold within this mountain range.

However, he only understood it and had no way to go deep inside to obtain this ancient pagoda.

Now, after experiencing various changes and setbacks, he finally has the chance to walk to this place.

Looking at that ancient pagoda, Zhang Xuan's spirit could not help but sway, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

That is a supreme Immortal material; the Nine-Orifice Stone Man that Zhang Xuan wanted to obtain before only had a piece of Dragon Pattern Black Gold about a foot long in its brow, and once taken out, countless people would go mad wanting to obtain it.

And now, this peerless divine object here is over half a meter tall.

Given the nature and quantity of this divine object, it is enough for a peak, perfect Great Emperor to forge a supreme Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon.

Zhang Xuan slowly approached that ancient pagoda, his spirit still not completely relaxed, because as he approached, the energy and killing intent flowing out from that pagoda became increasingly astonishing and terrifying.

It was not because of anything else, but because the side of that pagoda was stained with a wisp of crystalline, bright blood.

Even though tens of thousands of years have passed, that blood is still bright and eye-catching, possessing an unimaginable power; this was left behind after that Quasi-Emperor died.

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Xuan was not only not flustered, but a look of joy even appeared on his face.

He first took the initiative to move away from that area, then operated the Soldier Secret to shift the bloodstains off the top of the ancient pagoda crafted from God-Marked Purple Gold.

Only then did he truly approach this supreme divine object.

The ancient God-Marked Purple Gold stood there quietly, without too much light blooming, but it flowed with an incomparably ancient aura as if it were suppressing a piece of heaven and earth; even after endless years had passed, not many traces remained on this piece of God-Marked Purple Gold.

More importantly, this supreme divine object had not been branded with so-called Dao and Reason by others; it was a primitive material, simply forged into a rough embryo, forming a Purple Pagoda.

For Zhang Xuan, this is the most critical point; after obtaining it, he can refine it into his own artifact through simple polishing, and it can accompany him as he walks to the very peak of the Human World.

The ancient Purple Pagoda is very thick, and the light it flashes in this most peculiar Immortal Land not only did not dim, but instead became incomparably unique.

Inside it, wisps of Immortal Light bloom, and on the top of the pagoda body, there are also peculiar traces flashing; these were generated by heaven and earth, or perhaps carved by ancient Gods themselves—this is the specialty of God-Marked Purple Gold.

Those peculiar traces seem to be the embodiment of the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

The exclusive divine object of an Ancient Great Emperor!

After Zhang Xuan observed it carefully, he discovered that this God-Marked Purple Gold is very suitable for him.

His Eight-Nine Profound Art itself can fuse the Great Dao of the heavens and lift it up; if he becomes stronger later, he can even carve all the many Dao rules of the Universe and heaven and earth onto this Purple Pagoda.

"It ought to belong to me!"

Zhang Xuan was full of gratification; he picked up this ancient artifact weighing over a million catties with one hand, then thought for a moment and carefully stored it into his Dantian.

"Now I can be considered to have barely reached the standard configuration of a Great Emperor: having a complete and flawless Great Emperor Scripture and having exclusive divine materials that can be forged into an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon."

Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed, but at the same time, he did not give up on the Quasi-Emperor essence blood that had fallen onto the God-Marked Purple Gold.

He first used a treasure to pave the area, then used the Soldier Secret to carefully wrap the few drops of Quasi-Emperor essence blood within it.

Only then did he carefully move closer, and then, just like before, he used his alt account to send himself a Red Packet, sending these few drops of Quasi-Emperor essence blood as a Red Packet into the Chat Group, sending it to himself, and then storing it into the Red Packet.

After such a round of conversion by the Chat Group, the Quasi-Emperor level killing intent was naturally eliminated, and it could be used directly.

However, Zhang Xuan did not use it immediately, mainly because this area is not suitable for cultivation and breakthrough.

Although this is a supreme Creation land rare in the ages, the crises are truly too many, and one would die an untimely death if not careful.

All the goals for coming to Earth have been successfully achieved; while excited, Zhang Xuan also felt slightly lost in his heart, not knowing whether to continue going deeper.

Yes, the Kunlun Immortal Realm has not been fully traversed yet.

That Quasi-Emperor died nearby, but this map has not reached its end, and the true Immortal Land is still further inside.
