Chapter 261: Immortality Moves the Hearts of Men

When such earth-shattering words were spoken, it was not just the Human Race side that was shocked; even the Ancient Race side was incomparably stunned.

In an instant, everyone frantically gathered at Purple Mountain.

Many figures saw several legendary existences in this area; they were the descendants of the Ancient Emperors, the offspring of the Qilin Ancient Emperor.

Within Shencan Ridge, there were likewise descendants of Ancient Emperors wandering in this area; not only them, but the descendants of the Golden Ancient Emperor and Wanlong Nest had also come to this place.

All the once-powerful tribes were wandering in this area, and they were staring at the interior of Purple Mountain.

Everyone wanted to clash with that Prince who was once revered by all the Ancient Myriad Tribes.

That was the Tianhuangzi, who possessed inconceivable prestige among the Ancient Race.

There were even powerful existences among the Ancient Race who went to press Jiang Taixu, wanting to learn more details, only to be killed by God King Jiang Taixu.

It was only when a Great Saint-level figure took the initiative to go and ask that some of the secrets were learned.

Jiang Taixu had once seen a Stone Egg inside Purple Mountain, being carried around and played with by a Black Dog, and later he saw a human-shaped Daoist playing with that same Stone Egg.

And because such things had occurred, there were even inexplicable rumors in various places.

God King Jiang Taixu should have been trapped and died in Purple Mountain years ago; it was absolutely impossible for him to have walked out alive.

Yet now, not only had he walked out, he had made a breakthrough, not only reaching the Saint level, but even crossing the Saint level to reach the Saint King level; this was completely inconceivable.

Previously, many of the Human Race said that this was because God King Jiang Taixu had obtained part of the inheritance of Wushi Dadi in Purple Mountain and understood the secrets of the Great Emperor, but now, in the eyes of the Ancient Myriad Tribes, it was not so.

"It absolutely cannot be that simple; he was already heavily injured and in a dying state with a very poor condition when he was in Purple Mountain back then."

One of the Eight Legions from Purple Mountain even took the initiative to go out, and after seeing God King Jiang Taixu, he directly made a judgment.

He asserted that it was absolutely impossible for Jiang Taixu to have broken through repeatedly in such a short time.

"Because I was in Purple Mountain back then, and together with many Ancestor Kings, I used Indestructible Demonic Thoughts to torture him. It was already determined back then that he was already at the end of his rope; not only was his cultivation impossible to break through, but even his Origin had already dried up."

"He must have touched the descendant of the Undying Emperor and obtained part of the secrets from the descendant of the Undying Emperor. Damn him!"

"Daring to touch the descendant of the Undying Emperor and the blood of the Undying Emperor, he deserves to die!"

"The so-called Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid should not have been passed down from the so-called Human Race Great Emperor; it should have come from the greatest Undying Emperor."

"Everything that was taken away, we must take back. We absolutely cannot let him hold it in his hands. He dares to use the blood of the Undying Emperor; he deserves to die!"

Not only him, but many other figures from the Eight Legions came to echo this, simultaneously agreeing with such a statement.

Even among the Ancient Race, there were Great Saints who issued kill orders.

Because of this matter, the Human Race and the Ancient Myriad Tribes erupted into intense discussions, and there were even powerful figures clashing.

Many top geniuses on the Human Race side believed it was absolutely impossible.

They believed that God King Jiang Taixu's breakthrough was related to himself, and the inheritance he obtained was also the inheritance of Wushi Dadi, having nothing to do with the so-called Undying Emperor.

The time and years since God King Jiang Taixu appeared were not too long, but he had truly gained the recognition of many of the younger generation of the Human Race.

After all, the God King sat above the Dragon Transformation Pool and declared that all top experts of the younger generation in the world could obtain the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid from there.

That was a peerless divine medicine related to Wushi Dadi, capable of allowing one to break through to a higher realm without flaws.

Many powerful figures among the younger generation had once received the favor of the God King.

In such an event, even the Yaoguang Shengzi from the Yaochi Sacred Land stood out to actively deny it.

He believed it was absolutely impossible.

"Whether the Undying Emperor exists or not is a secret; there is no definitive historical record at all. It is more like a mystery."

"Moreover, during the period when the Undying Emperor was present, there was no mention of the so-called Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid at all. This is simply the Ancient Race gilding their own faces."

"A kill order? Heh, who do you think you are? The era has changed; now is not the so-called Taigu era. Several of your so-called Great Saints have already died, and you still have the face to clamor here?"

The Human Race and the Ancient Race erupted into another round of major debate.

But at the same time, in this process, more details and situations exploded.

It was not only figures from the Ancient Race who were investigating Jiang Taixu; even among the Human Race, top powerhouses were constantly visiting Jiang Taixu, wanting to understand the situation in detail.

Jiang Taixu was very humble and very calm toward many figures.

When a Great Saint from the Ancient Race who was inclined toward the Human Race side came, Jiang Taixu conversed with him very happily.

In this process, even that old Monkey in the temple of the Western Desert came over.

A golden light path spread directly from the Western Desert to Shencheng. He walked to the area of the Dragon Transformation Pool and sat down to discuss the Dao with Jiang Taixu, mainly exploring stories about the Undying Emperor.

This scene shocked many figures; even the Ancient Creatures were worshipping from afar, not daring to get too close.

The biological younger brother of the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang was actually still alive in the world, and he had become a top Buddha in the Western Desert. His Great Saint-level aura was vast and mighty, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

Many people were shocked by this spirit.

At the same time, countless people were curious about it; the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang had traversed his whole life, invincible across the heavens and the earth.

But there were also big problems regarding the changes in his later years, which made people feel suspicious.

In his early years, the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang was very respectful toward the Undying Emperor; no matter where he was, he was highly respectful toward the statues and ruins of the Undying Emperor.

But in his later years, he suddenly changed, destroying all the Dao sites of the Undying Emperor, leaving countless people baffled.

And not long ago, in those ruins in the Central Plains, a roar left behind by the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang shook the heavens and the earth.

The content of that roar made countless people even more shocked; he was cursing and accusing the Undying Emperor.

The anger in that roar could absolutely not be fake, and what kind of situation could make the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang lose his composure?

A roar that could be passed down for a million years must have been left behind after the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang became an Emperor.

And after becoming an Emperor, the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang was invincible across the heavens and the earth.

He was very calm and tolerant toward any opponent; even when the Huntuo Dasheng went to challenge the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang and was easily suppressed by him with one hand, he still received a "not bad" evaluation.

From this point of view, the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang, who fought the heavens and the earth in his early years, had a quite peaceful state of mind after becoming an Emperor.

What kind of thing could make him roar like this? Or was it that he truly saw the long-lived Undying Emperor during that period?

And was that Undying Emperor even his enemy during that period?

Combined with the fact that the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang wanted to forcefully become a War Immortal in his later years, then suddenly failed and directly fell in that lifetime...

Many people felt their scalps tingle just thinking about it, with a chill seeping out from the gaps in their bones.

No one could imagine what kind of terrifying things had happened within it.

Everyone felt uneasy.

And now, the younger brother of the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang had come to discuss the situation with Jiang Taixu.

Suddenly, the suspense of the entire world was piqued; everyone was curious about what exactly had been discussed during this conversation.

What kind of peculiar magic did the legendary Undying Emperor, revered by the Myriad Tribes, possess, and just how powerful and special was he?

Jiang Taixu said the Undying Emperor originated from the Immortal Domain and was once a flawless Immortal bird of the Immortal Domain; so, did the Undying Emperor know the path leading to the Immortal Domain?

And did he possess some of the special qualities of the Immortal Domain, being able to have enough Immortal Substance to live forever?

The world went mad.

But this step of madness had not yet reached the point of true insanity.

No one knew what exactly Fighting Victory Buddha had discussed with God King Jiang Taixu; they only knew that after sighing for three lifetimes outside the Dragon Transformation Pool, Fighting Victory Buddha turned and walked toward Mount Sumeru.

And Fighting Victory Buddha's own son, Sheng Huangzi, had followed for a distance, only to be swept down from the golden bridge of light by Fighting Victory Buddha.

Afterward, a powerful figure from Shencan Ridge took Sheng Huangzi away and questioned him carefully.

Those who were closely monitoring this process heard that on that day, Divine Silkworm Princess of Shencan Ridge let out a loud laugh that shook several mountain ranges.

And a Great Saint who had been watching Fighting Victory Buddha and was at odds with the Fighting Sacred Ape lineage whispered afterward.

During his return to the Western Desert, Fighting Victory Buddha's Qi and blood were more vigorous than before, and his condition was better than it had been, as if he had managed to extend his lifespan by several hundred years.

This news was originally extremely confidential, but for some reason, it was leaked, and then it spread across the world at the fastest speed, shocking everyone.

That Jiang Taixu possessed some of the secrets of the hidden location was no longer a secret, but had become public information.

No, to be more precise, Jiang Taixu had obtained part of the Undying Emperor's inheritance from Purple Mountain, thus giving people the possibility of longevity.

This news shocked the world and made countless people uneasy.

But it was not as if no one was suspicious.

"It is merely a charade; a Medicine King can also allow one to extend their lifespan by three to five hundred years. Between heaven and earth, there are many items that can extend life, not just the so-called ethereal Immortal Substance."

"Not to mention that the Undying Divine Medicine can allow one to live for ten thousand years, even Taigu exotic treasures like the Dragon Loach can allow one to live for eight or nine hundred years, and they are effective even for Great Saints. Now, it is just the Human Race playing tricks."

Some people were actively questioning, suspecting Jiang Taixu of playing tricks.

As it turned out, the person who made this statement was later identified as one of the Eight Legions, and the world was instantly shocked.

The followers of the Undying Emperor actively denied this point; according to common sense, this should be true.

But this was absolutely not a situation where common sense applied; God King Jiang Taixu had lived in Purple Mountain for four thousand years.

Even if he were a perfected Divine Body, his lifespan should have been exhausted, with no hope at all, let alone making further breakthroughs.

Yet he had succeeded, and he had broken through repeatedly, with an abnormally fast speed.

On the other hand, the most special one was the younger brother of the Dou Zhan Sheng Huang, Fighting Victory Buddha.

Fighting Victory Buddha himself should have been sealed until the Immortal Path was about to open before breaking the seal and returning.

But an accident occurred two thousand years ago; Fighting Victory Buddha emerged early, and he had already lived for a sufficiently long time during the Taigu era.

Then he emerged two thousand years early, and he was already heading toward his twilight years.

Qi, blood, and posture cannot be faked.

Moreover, with Fighting Victory Buddha's status and position, whether in the Taigu era or today, he could easily obtain Medicine Kings and other life-extending substances.

Yet he still headed toward his twilight years, so it is conceivable that it was truly difficult for him to continue extending his life.

Yet, after sitting and discussing the Dao with God King Jiang Taixu, his Qi and blood were indeed much younger after a period of time.

That Great Saint hidden in the shadows did not state his judgment in detail, but he estimated that he had extended his life by more than five hundred years; this was definitely not an ordinary method.

It was not the so-called Medicine King or other similar life-extending substances.

And not long after, another even more explosive piece of news circulated among the Human Race and the Ancient Myriad Tribes, shocking many figures.

God King Jiang Taixu's beloved, Caiyun Xianzi, who had loved God King Jiang Taixu to death four thousand years ago, was observed by people between the mountain ranges undergoing her tribulation.

And it was not an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation, but the tribulation after becoming a Severing Dao King; she was suspected of having stepped a distance forward even in the realm of the Severing Dao King.

"Caiyun Xianzi is not a God King Body; her talent and intelligence were peerless in one region back then, but she cannot be counted as the most special physique."

"Being able to live until now is a miracle in itself, and yet at such an age, she can still defy the heavens and ascend the steps; this is absolutely not normal!"

Powerful figures investigated in the shadows and later provided a detailed report.

It described in detail the many life-extending substances that Caiyun Xianzi had consumed over these years.

It can be said that Caiyun Xianzi used all kinds of special means to be able to live until four thousand years later.

Living until four thousand years later was already the limit of limits; logically speaking, she should have had little Qi and blood left within these one or two years and completely passed away.

As it turned out, some people discovered that when Caiyun Xianzi was undergoing her tribulation, her expression and posture were very young, and her Qi and blood were high-spirited and majestic; she did not look at all like someone who had entered her twilight years with little life left.

Her entire appearance and posture were very young.

Many people have indeed heard of late bloomers, but that is only in the middle or late stages of life, when one is gradually entering their twilight years, that one can have such an opportunity.

To muster one's remaining courage and continue moving forward.

It has never been said that one could be vigorous and different when one has already reached the end of their life and could die at any moment.

Then there were even more specific and subtle situations exposed by people.

It is rumored that after God King Jiang Taixu was rescued from Purple Mountain, he silently went to the sect where Caiyun Xianzi was located and visited Caiyun Xianzi.

Afterward, God King Jiang Taixu and Caiyun Xianzi mysteriously disappeared; not long after, Caiyun Xianzi returned in a young state and underwent tribulations repeatedly.

That God King Jiang Taixu had mastered part of the life-extending substances and secret techniques had basically become a certainty.

Many great figures wanted to visit him repeatedly, and at the same time, countless figures had their eyes on that phoenix inside Purple Mountain.

They had their eyes on Tianhuangzi.
