Chapter 273: The Secret of Becoming an Immortal, Movements in the Forbidden Zone, and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords

"He must have obtained the blood and inheritance of the Undying Emperor."

Among the Ancient Myriad Tribes, which were the most deathly silent and quiet, someone suddenly spoke like this.

Then, like a spark falling into a pot of oil, it instantly caused the entire Ancient Myriad Tribes to explode.

The hearts of everyone present were filled with fear, but at this moment, they were also flooded with endless greed.

"He is clearly also a figure who has just entered the Quasi-Imperial Realm; he definitely has not gone deep enough in the Quasi-Imperial Realm."

"When that Ancient Emperor's Son entered it, he even asserted as much and made a clear judgment—he shouldn't be this strong!"

"It must be the inheritance of the Undying Emperor. Only the Godly Spirit Ancient Scripture and blood of the Undying Emperor could have such a special effect. He obtained the inheritance of the Undying Emperor; perhaps it even contains the secret to becoming an Immortal."

"There have always been rumors that the Immortal Path is about to open. We sealed ourselves away a million years ago, waiting for the Immortal Path as well. In such a period, in such an era, could it be..."

Someone proposed such a guess, which caused the entire scene to fall into silence, followed immediately by another explosion.

"All the Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors predicted that someone would become an Immortal in this lifetime. Could it be that it falls upon this person?"

"No, impossible!"

Someone firmly opposed this, then proposed another more specific opinion.

"Judging from the previous blood, the Undying Emperor has very likely already achieved the status of a True Immortal. And in this current era, whoever can obtain the blood and inheritance of the Undying Emperor is very likely the one who will become an Immortal in this era."

"He stole the opportunity of Tianhuangzi!"

"He stole the opportunity of my Ancient Myriad Tribes; this should have been left to my Ancient Myriad Tribes by the Undying Emperor."

"My Ancient Myriad Tribes are destined to be glorious for eternity, to suppress everything, to become Immortals in this period, and to suppress all injustice."

Ding-ling-ling!

The Wanlong Bell vibrated with a clatter, and the aura of an Ultimate Imperial Weapon that could not be suppressed at all flowed between heaven and earth.

It actually revived on its own at this moment, intending to charge into Purple Mountain to fight that person to the death.

For the Wanlong Bell, what had just happened was an absolute, utter humiliation.

A direct descendant of the Wanlong Emperor, a figure who had stepped into the Quasi-Imperial Realm, took it and charged into Purple Mountain, only for both it and that Ancient Emperor's descendant to be directly strangled to death.

During this process, it was unable to unleash any of its power; this was a true and genuine, utter humiliation.

It could clearly feel that when it was about to revive, it was interfered with by some peculiar technique.

It was no stranger to this; that should be the Soldier Secret that had become famous throughout the world during the Mythological Era.

But even so, it felt ashamed.

A Quasi-Imperial level figure holding an Ultimate Imperial Weapon was killed in one stroke by a figure who had just entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and even the Ultimate Imperial Weapon was swatted away during this process.

Since ancient times, there has never been such an outrageous matter. Even the Wushi Dadi, who was touted as being able to sweep across everything, was only about this much back then, right?

It was too outrageous, too distressing and shocking.

And it didn't end there; before the revived Wanlong Bell could charge in, it heard a melodious bell tolling from within Purple Mountain.

The invisible bell waves collided with the Wanlong Bell, and the most terrifying impact rushed into the depths of the Universe, shattering who knows how many stars.

Then, in this round of struggle, the Wanlong Bell was also gloriously blasted away, sinking together into the starry sky of the Universe.

It can be said that this was a truly face-losing event.

The face of the Wanlong Nest was lost completely, not a shred left.

It was simply outrageous, completely and utterly outrageous.

An Ultimate Imperial Weapon was actually beaten back by someone during a clash, and the person possessing the Ultimate Imperial Weapon was also killed during this process.

"How could there be such a strong person? Just what step has he reached?"

The entire group fell into an eerie silence. Even many of the Human Race did not expect things to develop to this point; it was simply inexplicable.

And in this eerie silence, Purple Mountain was slowly healing.

Just through the final scene, they could see that figure standing quietly in Purple Mountain, with a five-colored phoenix spreading its wings and crying on his shoulder.

A cluster of Immortal Light, dazzling to the extreme, bloomed within that figure's body.

Heaven and earth seemed to dim because of it, unable to compare to the eternal, undying Immortal Light within that person's body.

Then the next moment, everything completely ended, and nothing could be seen clearly anymore, leaving an incredibly deep impression on everyone's hearts.

"This..."

Who knows how many people's hearts were shaken.

"An Immortal, that is a true Immortal!"

Some people saw that eternal, undying Immortal Light and were nearly crazed, frantically wanting to rush into that area, yet they were completely powerless.

That brilliant, extreme Immortal Light indeed resembled the eternal, undying, nirvanic Immortal Light that gushed out when the Immortal Path opened, as recorded in ancient texts.

Seeing such a scene, there was not a single person who was not moved by it; everyone had endless waves in their hearts.

Surprise, shock, fear, unease, and greed.

All emotions appeared on the faces of these figures, and after the Wanlong Bell shook the void, it did not choose to turn back.

Unnoticed by anyone, it transformed into a streak of light and sank into the Taichu Ancient Mine.

On the outskirts of the Taichu Ancient Mine, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body stood in that area and pressed the button to contact Zhang Xuan.

"The Wanlong Bell has fallen into the Taichu Ancient Mine. Your scheme should have succeeded; what follows depends on the aftermath."

As the Great Accomplishment Saint Body spoke, his gaze also shifted away, not directly observing the Taichu Ancient Mine.

With his strength and realm, if he were to observe directly, the terrifying figures within the Taichu Ancient Mine would likely sense it.

Of course, for him, this situation was not too much of a problem.

There were too many methods that could replace him in scouting and observing this area. With intent calculating against the unintentional, plus the fact that he had recently been observing that set of Array Diagrams left behind by the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao.

Regarding the Word Secret, he already had a certain estimation in his heart.

Under such circumstances, using various arrays to observe from the outside was clearer and more distinct than observing directly, and it was also not easily discovered by the other party.

"The fish has taken the bait; isn't this a good thing?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and whispered, his entire state even better than before.

Combined with his existing techniques, the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art was simply invincible; cultivation had become far too comfortable.

His overall condition felt comfortable, and every moment was effortless.

Moreover, within Purple Mountain, Zhang Xuan did not feel the crisis of potential death at any time or place.

Compared to before, he was much more relaxed, especially after walking further and further in the Quasi-Emperor Realm; he felt increasingly relaxed and at ease.

"I just don't know which fish will be hooked this time?"

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body's answering voice was resonant and powerful, full of steadiness, giving a strong sense of power.

"Judging from the current situation, it is very likely to be the Wanlong Emperor."

"A figure who can wield the Wanlong Bell and has a deep connection with the Wanlong Emperor, walking out from the Taichu Ancient Mine—the Wanlong Emperor should be inside."

"This situation is very likely to draw the Wanlong Emperor out."

"Can the existing clues and situation really make an Ancient Emperor take action?"

Zhang Xuan whispered.

The plans he had made with Gai Jiuyou, the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, and others were not just a little bit.

There were quite a few backup plans that could be adapted to circumstances and changed during different processes.

It could be said that the entire situation would be quite flexible.

"As far as the current situation goes, it is enough; there is no need to continue increasing the stakes. Further increasing the stakes might cause more terrifying existences in the Forbidden Zone to come out."

The Great Accomplishment Saint Body shook his head, while trying his best to keep his tone from changing too much.

He already had a quite special feeling that this plan was very likely to succeed.

Previously, during the process of formulating and executing the plan, he did not feel much anomaly.

Now that they were truly going to achieve such a goal and plan, he felt incomparably excited in his heart; an unprecedented achievement was about to be realized by their generation.

This feeling was something others could not understand at all.

This unique joy could only be deeply savored by himself.

"Then let's stabilize for now and continue to maintain it."

Zhang Xuan nodded, and at the same time, the special communication device he had created using the power of causality lit up, connecting to other regions.

A moment later, Gai Jiuyou's voice came from it.

"The relevant sword array has been completely set up, with me as the host, and the other few regions are respectively responsible by Laozi, Shijiamouni, and that old Quasi-Emperor of the Cai Family..."

Zhang Xuan nodded again.

His heart was calm, and compared to before, he was increasingly composed and steady.

Vast power condensed within his body, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into boundless magic power; vaguely, a peculiar universe seemed to be condensing within his body, but that was merely an illusion, similar to a projection.

Between the more distant and vast heavens and earth, a peculiar connection was established with Zhang Xuan.

Under the blessing of the will of heaven and earth, Zhang Xuan had a peculiar feeling.

As long as he wanted to, it seemed he could break through very easily, without much difficulty.

Under multiple blessings, his comprehension could basically be maintained in the God Forbidden Realm at all times; this was an achievement that no one in history had ever reached.

Maintaining the God Forbidden Realm at all times before becoming a Great Emperor was absolutely an earth-shattering event, yet no one knew and no one discovered it.

Feeling that special touch, Zhang Xuan naturally began to absorb the Origin of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.

He had obtained that body of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body on Sheng Ya a long time ago, but he had never truly swallowed its Origin.

It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not.

In his original physical state, Zhang Xuan could not withstand such a powerful Origin at all.

But now, he could do it easily.

Having stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, the body of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body was no longer an unreachable peak for Zhang Xuan.

Wisps of golden and red blood energy entered Zhang Xuan's body, making his state increasingly mysterious and special.

The special and powerful rules within the Origin of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body were also absorbed by Zhang Xuan, together manifesting as a Dao Fruit upon his Pangu Golden Body.

At the same time, this also further strengthened his physical body, making it even more special.

Without spending much time or effort to polish it, he crossed a level in the Quasi-Emperor realm, reaching the Second Heaven.

The later the cultivation realm, the harder it is to break through, but for Zhang Xuan, it was completely the opposite.

"After receiving the blessing of heaven and earth, my comprehension has improved again, similar to the state of a Holy Spirit."

"The three-fold Holy Spirit is one with me; the comprehension blessing is truly earth-shaking, and since I don't lack cultivation resources, walking forward is really just returning to my position..."

Zhang Xuan had a clear understanding of himself; for him, breaking through was truly as simple as eating and drinking.

In the early stages, he walked on thin ice, but at this realm and stage, cultivation and breaking through were truly as simple as eating and drinking.

Just like a snowball, his advantage grew larger and larger, and in the end, it was unstoppable.

Truly wanting to move forward and wanting to go further would not be too difficult.

"Even heaven and earth don't actively test me, lowering quite a lot of pressure; how perfunctory!"

Feeling that there was basically no lightning tribulation to strike him when breaking through realms, Zhang Xuan could not help but shake his head.

He did not doubt that as long as he took out enough Origin now to merge into this heaven and earth.

The Zhetian Great Universe would directly help him, letting his cultivation and strength rush into the Great Emperor realm, making him the only Great Emperor in this heaven and earth.

Becoming a Great Emperor was a dream beyond reach for billions of living beings, but for the current Zhang Xuan, it was indeed something he could easily touch.

"Forget it, compared to a free ride, I still prefer to work hard myself."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, further absorbing the body of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, absorbing that unique Origin.

If he had the chance to directly become a Great Emperor before, he would of course choose to become a Great Emperor first and then consider other things, but now the cards in his hand were simply too many, which could give him a more composed opportunity and allow him more choices.

Cultivation was not a difficult task for him; what was difficult was laying a good foundation so that the future would have more opportunities.

Previously, Zhang Xuan only dared to absorb a mere wisp of the Great Completion Saint Body's Origin, but now that he had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he could finally relax and absorb it without too many scruples.

Mad power condensed within his body, and then he broke through the realm with ease.

Zhang Xuan was already quite familiar with this and was not surprised at all, watching as his own strength and realm broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Third Heaven and Fourth Heaven.

He paused slightly for a period of time at the Fourth Heaven to stabilize his strength and realm, and then it did not take long for him to reach the Sixth Heaven.

Once he reached this realm and continued to push upward, the world faintly conveyed a kind of special emotion.

"If I continue to break through, I will have to face terrifying accumulation; it won't be as easy as before."

Hmm, simply put, the world wanted to ask Zhang Xuan for benefits.

Zhang Xuan did not take it seriously, just silently swallowed another wisp of Dugu Baitian's Origin, and then that Origin dissipated, permeating the space between heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, it was absorbed cleanly by this world, and then, silently, he broke through to the Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven.

If other Quasi-Emperors of the same category had reached this step, they would already be famous throughout the heavens and the earth.

Everyone in the heavens and the earth would know about it, and the figures within the Forbidden Zone would pay close attention.

But on Zhang Xuan's side, there were not many ripples, and not even many people knew about it.

Zhang Xuan did not even need to take the initiative to conceal the heavenly secrets; this world took the initiative to do it for him.
