Chapter 242: On How to Bait a Forbidden Zone Supreme

"Much of this information cannot be transmitted by us. Right now, the Supremes within the Forbidden Zones have not truly reached a state of awakening. If we want to wake them up or report the situation, it is best to go through the Ancient Race..."

"Looking at it this way, the best place to fish is still the Taichu Ancient Mine. After all, the Taichu Ancient Mine has quite a lot of connections with the Ancient Myriad Tribes, whereas the other few Forbidden Zones do not have as many tentacles reaching out."

"However, when it comes to fishing, it is better to be careful and cautious. The information regarding the Undying Emperor is too terrifying."

"After all, the Undying Emperor was active from the final years of the Mythological Era until the final years of the Taigu period, and even remains active to this day. The time elapsed is not just a million years, but several million years."

"To live like this, and to always maintain a peak state, is an unimaginable existence for anyone. Once the information about the Undying Emperor is directly exposed, it will absolutely be an earth-shattering situation."

"It might even very likely cause multiple Forbidden Zones to unite, with many ancient Supremes and Ancient Emperors jumping out..."

Zhang Xuan calculated secretly in his heart.

This matter definitely cannot be handled recklessly; it must be calculated with care and caution.

"If we look at it according to this rhythm, one person of Alternative Enlightenment and one Great Saint Body are likely not enough. More preparations are needed; if the fishing bait is too fragrant and attracts fish too easily, that is also a big problem."

Zhang Xuan rested his chin on his hand, calculating secretly in his heart.

"What other figures can be further united and gathered by my side to resist these terrifying Forbidden Zone Supremes?"

Zhang Xuan has always liked to have multiple layers of insurance. Now he has a better plan, but he also feels that the current insurance is not enough and the danger is too great.

"Those who can be controlled, possess a truly chivalrous heart, and have been tested by the Dark Turmoil are undoubtedly the spirit-imbued body of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, and Shijiamouni, who was manifested from the demonic thoughts of Amitabha."

"The incarnations of the Void Great Emperor and the Hengyu Great Emperor can also be united and entrusted, as they have both been tested."

"But Gai Jiuyou has been walking in the starry sky of the Universe for such a long time, and I haven't seen them; finding them is a big problem."

At the same time, another big problem also caused Zhang Xuan to have worries in his heart, making it difficult to make a true decision.

Whether it is the spirit-imbued physical body of the Void Great Emperor or the Hengyu Great Emperor, or Laozi and Shijiamouni, their innate potential is shocking to the world; if they continue to live on, they are very likely to attain the Dao.

But after reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm, based on their strength and cultivation, it is not realistic to want to cultivate to Great Completion in a short time and reach the stage of Alternative Enlightenment.

Shijiamouni and Laozi might have walked further in the Quasi-Emperor Realm; after all, Shijiamouni sealed the Crocodile Ancestor hundreds or perhaps even over a thousand years ago, and also sealed other figures at the Quasi-Emperor level.

The figure with the highest cultivation and strength sealed within the Eighteen Levels of Hell has already reached the Quasi-Emperor Third Heaven, which means Shijiamouni is very likely above the Third Heaven, and reached it hundreds of years ago.

And Laozi, the spirit-imbued body of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, is in a similar state.

The paths they both have taken in the Quasi-Emperor Realm should be further along.

And the Void Great Emperor and the Hengyu Great Emperor might be relatively later; the Void Great Emperor was a figure with a rather short lifespan among the Great Emperors, and even possessing Undying Divine Medicine, he only lived for one life.

Moreover, before he died, he dragged two ancient Supremes from the Forbidden Zones to die with him; his achievements were unprecedented, and the injuries he sustained were also unprecedented.

Zhang Xuan remembers that after the Void Great Emperor's physical body became spirit-imbued, he spent a long period of time in the Nine-Layered Divine Spirit Ancient Coffin to recover himself and let the injuries to his physical body be eliminated.

It can be said that he was the one in the worst state among the spirit-imbued Great Emperor bodies.

"Looking at the cultivation speed of Ye Fan and that group of figures who were in the Golden Great Age later on, after achieving Quasi-Emperor, it takes about several hundred years to polish oneself to the Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven, to the point of approaching Alternative Enlightenment."

"From this aspect, Laozi and Shijiamouni are very likely close to the true peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, while the spirit-imbued bodies of the Void Great Emperor and the Hengyu Great Emperor, namely Huangdi and Yandi, might be a bit worse, but not too far off."

"But a difference of a single line is a difference of heaven and earth."

Zhang Xuan recalled the terrifying Dark Turmoil period two hundred years later.

Laozi, the spirit-imbued body of the Heavenly Venerable of Morality, and Shijiamouni, manifested from the demonic thoughts of Amitabha, plus Huangdi and Yandi—the four of them could only block two ancient Supremes ravaging the world with the help of the ancient array on Earth.

Once they stepped out of the array, all four would be finished. From that, one can see that two hundred years later, the four of them still had not truly ascended to the very peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Although they had Great Emperor-level physical bodies, the bodies after re-imbueing with spirit cannot be counted as true Great Emperor bodies; after all, they lack their own Imperial Dao Laws and Emperor Dao Laws.

In the Dark Turmoil, they all met a very tragic end; it can be said to be quite tragic.

"With the Great Emperor Scriptures and Nine Secrets I currently possess, and even including the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, for figures below the Quasi-Emperor, it is the most unique divine technique and manual in the world, and can be of great help."

"But for these four figures, it does not have much use."

"In this era where the world has not yet fully recovered, relying on the strength and cultivation of the four of them, there is no way to quickly walk to the peak."

"Sigh, this is truly troublesome."

Zhang Xuan scratched his head a bit.

Looking at it as it is now, there is really no way; even if he is omniscient and omnipotent regarding the entire Zhetian World, there is no way.

For figures below the Great Emperor, the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid in his hands can quickly allow them to break through and reach a higher level.

For Saints, Great Saints, and even including Quasi-Emperor figures, the Nine Secrets are supreme divine arts worthy of their regard.

But for those four figures who were once Great Emperors and Heavenly Venerables, these secret techniques and pills are of no use; to reach the very peak, they can only rely on themselves.

"There is no way to accelerate them; after all, the cultivation speed in the Zhetian Universe is already terrifyingly fast. In just a few thousand years, a Great Emperor or an ancient Supreme can appear; placed in the Luan Gu Era, these are all unimaginable things."

And the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, which is most useful to Zhang Xuan and can best restore people to their peak, is of no use to these four figures.

All four of them were born from the physical bodies or demonic thoughts of Great Emperors, and can be considered to have lived a new life; their current time and years are in their most peak and prosperous period.

The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is of no use to them.

On the contrary, this kind of supreme pill that can extend life has an extremely powerful attraction to the figures within the Seven Forbidden Zones of the Eastern Wasteland.

"Unfortunately, among the Seven Forbidden Zones of the Eastern Wasteland, only the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land truly belongs to the Human Race, but in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, there is only the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Great Saint Body; the other figures are gone."

The Great Saint Body has already secretly recovered to his peak state, and the Ruthless Great Emperor has long since not needed the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill; such an item—she has already reached the true peak, and does not need to rely on any external force to exist with the world; she can be considered a Red Dust Immortal.

"But with the current situation, only those four are truly reliable."

There are two other figures of Alternative Enlightenment between heaven and earth; it is not that Zhang Xuan does not know, he is also very clear about it.

But Zhang Xuan has no way to confirm the state and mindset of those two figures.

The Heavenly Court First Divine General Chuan Ying and the Divine Court First Divine General Ning Fei—these two are both figures from the Mythological Era; one is the first person under the Emperor Venerable.

One is the first person under the Undying Emperor during the Divine Court period; both are at the level of Alternative Enlightenment.

Even both have the ability to attain the Dao, but both have knots that are difficult to resolve.

The Heavenly Court First Divine General has always been brooding over the destruction of the Heavenly Court, believing that he failed the expectations and entrustment of the Emperor Venerable, and therefore it is difficult to attain the Dao.

And the problems involving the Divine Court First Divine General in this regard are even more.

It is related to the Undying Empress.

The Undying Empress clearly had a relationship with the Divine Court First Divine General, but for the sake of the status of the whole world, she chose the Undying Emperor, which caused Ning Fei to always have a knot in his heart that could never be untied.

It can be said that he is the number one sycophant, stretching from the Mythological Era to the present day.

If there is no subsequent interference, this figure at the level of Alternative Enlightenment will also sacrifice his life for the Undying Empress.

Both of these figures possess the strength of the Alternative Enlightenment level; if they continue to restore their youthful states, both have the ability to battle with Supreme and Ancient Emperor figures.

But Zhang Xuan is uncertain about the mindset and thoughts of these two, and cannot be entirely sure.

"If they are truly allowed to restore their vitality to their peak state, it is hard to say who they will help; Chuan Ying is very likely to deal with the Supreme in the Forbidden Zone who protects the Undying Emperor."

"But Ning Fei has a very peculiar relationship with the Undying Emperor and many figures from the Taigu era; it is hard to say clearly how he will choose. Under such circumstances, helping them both restore their peak vitality poses a great problem."

If he had a choice, Zhang Xuan would absolutely not want to choose these two.

"But apart from them, it is very difficult to find the most top-tier figures in the entire world."

Zhang Xuan could not help but think of the Tyrant Body Ancestral Planet; there are still several Great Accomplishment Tyrant Bodies on the Tyrant Body Ancestral Planet to this day.

If they restore their peak state, they can also engage in life-and-death battles with unawakened Supreme beings, and if their vitality is at its peak, they can even drag a Supreme being who has recovered to their absolute peak to their death.

"It is a pity that the minds of the Great Accomplishment Tyrant Bodies are even more peculiar; they have no history of suppressing the Dark Turmoil, and in the later stages, they even blacken as a whole, becoming terrifying figures who incite the Dark Turmoil."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan could not help but shake his head.

The Tyrant Body Ancestral Planet is definitely not a place to go; one must absolutely not help the Great Accomplishment Tyrant Bodies restore their peak state, as this group of figures is not very trustworthy to begin with.

There is even an endless entanglement between the Saint Body and the Tyrant Body, and the two physiques have always been hostile to each other.

Both sides have each other's blood on their hands.

"It is not very realistic to want to do better in this regard; however, another direction might be a bit more realistic."

Zhang Xuan thought of the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao.

As the creator of the Word Secret, in the path of arrays, Heavenly Venerable Lingbao can be said to be invincible in heaven and on earth, the number one throughout the ages.

And the four Immortal Swords he refined, together with the Array Diagram, when combined, can truly execute Ancient Emperors and Supreme beings who have undergone Extreme Sublimation.

"Finding these four Immortal Swords and the Array Diagram together will make dealing with the fish that are fished out more composed; at the very least, it counts as having a landing net to scoop them up."

"Huangdi, Yandi, Shijiamouni, and Laozi, even if the four of them join forces, they cannot defeat an Ancient Emperor or a Supreme being, but if there is the Immortal Execution Sword Array, it is not impossible to trap an Ancient Emperor or Supreme being, or even kill them."

"Adding the Great Accomplishment Saint Body and Gai Jiuyou, it is possible to drag three Ancient Emperor Supreme beings to their deaths; if this can be done, things will be much more composed in the future."

Zhang Xuan felt that such an arrangement should be much more composed; as for where the four Immortal Swords and the Array Diagram left behind by Heavenly Venerable Lingbao are, Zhang Xuan also has a concept.

If he remembers correctly, it is on the strongest trial path in history.

"If there is no approximate address, it is harder than ascending to heaven to find the four Immortal Swords and the Array Diagram of Heavenly Venerable Lingbao in the entire Universe, and it can even be said to be unrealistic."

"But if there is a specific location, and with Gai Jiuyou and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, as long as the location is found, even if it is a setup left behind by a Supreme or Ancient Emperor, one can forcefully break in and take out that supreme treasure."

Zhang Xuan silently recalled, and made a simple, rough mark in the starry sky of the Universe for the area where Heavenly Venerable Lingbao is located.

"After Gai Jiuyou finishes this task, let him take a trip to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and go to that world together with the Great Accomplishment Saint Body to take a look."

Considering this, Zhang Xuan felt the heavy stone pressing on his heart being lifted; he could not help but let out a sigh of relief, and then let out another heavy sigh.

"Sigh, I really have a life of toil; I can't stop for even a moment, busy everywhere from morning till night."

"I just want to eat the Origin of some Supreme beings and Ancient Emperors, I just want to eat a fish, why is it so difficult? Although the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, these future waves are a bit too big."

Amidst the heavy sigh, Zhang Xuan could not help but think of a beautiful life in the future.

"At least ten times the Origin of Supreme beings and Ancient Emperors... if I could swallow them all, heaven knows how far I could go..."

In fact, the number of ancient Supreme beings and Ancient Emperors in the Forbidden Zones is definitely more than ten, and even twenty is very likely.

If the Origin of such a terrifyingly large number of figures were all swallowed by Zhang Xuan using the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, Zhang Xuan feels that his own cultivation and progress would reach an unprecedented level.

Even someone as fierce as the Ruthless Great Emperor did not manage to swallow the Origin of dozens of Great Emperors of the same realm.

This is truly too exaggerated, a fact that is hard to believe; perhaps in the entire world, only the Undying Emperor has been able to achieve this point.

The Undying Emperor was able to live from the Mythological Era to the Post-Desolate Ancient Era by relying on ambushing one aging Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor after another, then plundering their essence blood and Origin to allow himself to undergo Nirvana.
