Chapter 106

Among the people of the world, there has always been a saying that "a person is like their name."

This is merely a widely circulated saying, not necessarily the truth.

But obviously.

The Holy Body Xu Lie also did not live up to this name; he is like his name, his nature like raging fire, he acts in a rough and bold manner, and can be described as having heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.

And he has not disgraced the Human Race Holy Body lineage either.

Since his debut, he has hated evil like an enemy; his deeds can be called upright and honorable, shining brilliantly for a time, bearing quite a trace of the bearing of Gu Xuan or Void in their years.

However, he also has a rather prominent flaw.

That is, he is somewhat overly rough and bold; his personality is very careless, one could even say reckless.

This has a great deal to do with the environment in which he grew up from childhood.

Of course.

If Gu Xuan's last closed-door meditation had not lasted so long, he could have brought him to his side early on and raised him as a disciple.

In that case, perhaps Xu Lie's flaw could have been avoided.

But obviously the matter has already happened; it is difficult to reverse.

Regarding this generation's Holy Body Xu Lie, Gu Xuan feels there seems to be some mist in his heart.

The Human Race Holy Body after the Luan Gu Great Emperor, in the original trajectory, had no description whatsoever.

But this is also understandable.

Since ancient times, the Undying Golden Body, or the Human Race Holy Body lineage, has never lacked for people; it is impossible for every generation to be recorded in detail.

Among them, there are quite a few who have only a few fragmentary words, vague and unclear.

If it were an ordinary person, perhaps they could only rely on speculation, or give up seeking the answer altogether.

But having reached Gu Xuan's current realm, he naturally can do a little more.

He sat cross-legged on the Dao Platform, calmed his state of mind; within his body it seemed as if many Ancient Scriptures resonated, several major secret realms shone, and his spiritual platform was clear and bright.

And then.

He did not move a muscle; his surroundings were desolate and still; he immersed himself in a state of deep contemplation, as if he had merged with this Void, becoming a part of nothingness.

In the dark, there seemed to appear the Qi mechanism of seas turning to mulberry fields and time-space reversing; thousands of years of time passed like fleeting clouds and smoke.

This is naturally not real, but a manifestation of a supreme Secret Technique.

The Front Character Secret!

It is a supreme secret chapter for cultivating the Primordial Spirit; once mastered and brought to perfection, it can occasionally interfere with time, and even allow one to foresee the future.

Of course, this is extremely difficult to achieve.

Even one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables who created the Front Character Secret, or the current Gu Xuan, requires extremely harsh conditions to have an extremely low probability of success.

And this time, Gu Xuan knew the general outline of many past events, and was an unprecedented Heavenly Emperor Level expert of the Holy Body lineage.

In the end, he managed to glimpse a corner of the future concerning the Holy Body Xu Lie.

Extremely blurry, extremely faint!

But in the end, he still saw that strand of future light and shadow.

It was a desperate great battle, with the divine might and peerless Qi mechanism of a Great Accomplishment Holy Body and a Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body.

Accompanied by several cracking sounds, a Six Paths Treasure Wheel formed from flesh and blood appeared with countless cracks, then disintegrated, exploding into pieces in mid-air.

A deity rushed out, his face bearing blood tears; he nodded to the Holy Body junior before him, and finally burned into ashes in the Void, thus attaining liberation!

……

At this moment, Gu Xuan's pupils could not help but contract slightly.

He knew which generation of Great Accomplishment Holy Body Xu Lie was.

Treasure Wheel Holy Body!

That is, in the original trajectory, he was killed by people of the Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body lineage, and was refined alive into a Treasure Wheel Weapon!

Even to the end, his flesh and blood still gave birth to a weapon spirit; though unwilling, he was enslaved!

As expected.

No wonder when Gu Xuan went to the Tyrant Body Ancestor Star that time, his divine sense swept over it, yet he did not discover this situation.

It turns out it happens in this era.

As for why such a catastrophe would occur, Gu Xuan also has some speculations.

This certainly has to do with their respective strengths, but one cannot deny that it also inevitably has to do with this generation's Holy Body Xu Lie's overly rough and careless personality!

If Gu Xuan had brought him to his side a bit earlier, perhaps he could have avoided this flaw in his personality.

But it is a matter of time and fate; speaking of this now is already too late.

Of course.

As a generation's Heavenly Emperor, Gu Xuan has many methods to help Xu Lie avoid this killing tribulation, but in the end it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

If this personality of his does not get tempered or even changed, in the future it is not certain that similar tragedies will not happen again.

Therefore.

After a round of pondering, Gu Xuan had a general plan in mind.

This matter counts as one of the things he has done these years; let us not mention it for now.

Over thousands of years.

Besides guarding against the Emperor Venerable in the Chaos making a move, Gu Xuan also attempted to find the Undying Heavenly Emperor's hiding place.

What can be confirmed is.

In the current era, the Undying Heavenly Emperor has not yet gone to the Strange World; with extremely high probability, he is hiding in some mysterious place in the Human World Universe.

Although from that battle back then it can be known that the Undying Heavenly Emperor's combat power cannot be called higher, he is even slightly inferior to Gu Xuan, and at that time he also suffered severe injuries, his realm having fallen somewhat.

But this person is still absolutely an opponent one cannot afford to underestimate!

He is extremely adept at the art of concealment; even Gu Xuan, now a Heavenly Emperor Level Expert, using Peerless Imperial Power to deduce in all directions, cannot find his hiding place — proof that he must possess a unique method connecting to the Immortal.

This is somewhat similar to how the Wushi Great Emperor of later generations wanted to find the Di Fu organization but could not, because this organization employed a Near-Immortal artifact, the Tongtian Ming Treasure.

The Universe is vast and boundless, the Star Sea vast and hazy; within it there seem to be several Peerless Terrifying Great Enemies lurking in the dark!

This is also something only Gu Xuan, having reached his current realm, can perceive and guard against.

Otherwise, one might also end up like the Taiyin Human Emperor back then, or like the Tai Huang and other Imperial Dao experts on the original trajectory, perishing inexplicably.

Leaving only lingering regret, and leaving behind endless suspicion and shock tremble for posterity!

This still doesn't count the Dozens of Ancient Supremes in the Beidou Xing Ji Da Jin Ming Qu.

And this is also one of the reasons why Gu Xuan now deliberately avoids the world, concealing his Dao Chang with endless Heavenly Emperor Level Deceiving Heaven Array Patterns.

Of Course, he can also be high-profile.

But if he wants to plan slowly, or wants to lure out a certain person, this approach might have better results.

……

The Other End of the Star Sky.

Due to certain reasons, the Beidou Xing Ji Da Jin Ming Qu have had fewer Movements, maintaining an overall tranquility.

On the road of growing up, this generation's Human Race Holy Body Xu Lie has not suffered any eradication attempts from the Forbidden Zones.

Over a thousand-plus years, he has advanced triumphantly all the way, starting from a minor cultivator, slowly cultivating to the Great Saint Realm, establishing illustrious Fame in several Ancient Star Domains of the Universe.

And on the Beidou Ancient Star.

He even encountered several rare Heaven's Pride Great Demons of the Demon Race.

Since the Yao Huang Xue Yue Qing passed away, throughout the generations of the Demon Race, there have also appeared several peerless prodigies of extraordinary talent.

But never like this lifetime, where Heavenly Demon Body, Ten Thousand Demons Treasure Body and other stunningly brilliant Peerless Evildoers have emerged in succession — it can be called a minor golden age.

It's just a pity, they all ran into the Human Race Holy Body Xu Lie.

Whether Heavenly Demon Body or Ten Thousand Demons Treasure Body, they were successively defeated at his hands.

But they are also not convinced.

Because the cultivation path can be said to be a marathon; until the moment of reaching the Absolute Peak, no one is willing to admit they are no good.

And everyone can still venture the Star Sky Ancient Road; in that grand scene of myriad heroes contending, seek their own Great Dao.

This day.

Holy Body Xu Lie arrived at the Qingyun Holy Land.

He was about to set foot on the Star Sky Ancient Road, solely to seek the opportunity and Gift for his Holy Body Great Perfection.

Before this, he came one last time before a Stone Stele in the Deep Parts of the Holy Land's Ancestral Grounds.

This is a gigantic Stone Stele towering dozens of zhang high; its appearance is ancient and simple, without any patterns — it looks just like an extremely ordinary stele.

But no one dares to Qing Ti it.

Only because this was left behind by the Holy Emperor tens of thousands of years ago; it can be said to be a Supreme Treasure.

He also used Great Magical Power to set up Restrictions; unless it is himself or an expert of the same Cultivation Level comes here, no one can move this stele.

Of Course.

The World is not without those who have coveted this Treasure, but that's all — no major power dares to act on it.

Not to mention the Holy Emperor's Merit crowns past, present, and future, Merit Participates in Creation, his Combat Power startles Immortals and makes Gods weep; people don't know if he still lives in the world, or if he might return one day.

Just the Qingyun Holy Land itself has boundless Imperial Dao Array Patterns guarding it.

There are also Secret News circulating, saying this Holy Land also has several Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons left by the Holy Emperor in the past protecting it; whoever dares attack is simply courting death.

However.

Regarding the latter saying, many people think it's Impossible.

"At most a few Forbidden Artifacts close to Extreme Dao Weapons, or Quasi-Emperor Weapons."

A Great Saint Lao Da of a certain Supreme Race made this speculation, approaching the truth of the matter.

But even so, no power dares to be the first bird out, to hit on the idea of Treasures in the Qingyun Holy Land.

And this day.

The Qingyun Holy Master who accompanied Holy Body Xu Lie to his own Sect's Forbidden Ground, as well as several Supreme Elders and others, witnessed a strange event.

Only see.

After Xu Lie finished his salutations, the last time he reached out to touch the magnificent towering Stone Stele, a strange thing happened.

Hum!

With a light, crisp sound, the Stone Stele originally towering dozens of meters high suddenly shrank countless times.

In the end, it turned into a small pendant the size of a thumb, floating before Xu Lie.

This Scene stunned everyone present.

Immovable as a mountain, silent for tens of thousands of years, the Stone Stele actually moved on its own. And such a change occurred?!

And Xu Lie also in this instant had a flash of inspiration; he seemed to understand the Stone Stele's intention.

Is it to follow him onto the Star Sky Ancient Road?

But if he should happen to make a mistake, this Treasure engraved with the Holy Body lineage's inheritance methods, wouldn't it be lost in the Star Depths?

In that instant, Xu Lie even had a slight impulse to refuse.

But finally, he negated this thought of his.

Heaven bestows, not taking brings harm instead!

As a Treasure left by the Holy Emperor of yore who was incomparably towering, it must be a miraculous Treasure.

Perhaps a Deity has already been born within it, wanting to brave the Holy Body Great Perfection Road together with him.

There is even a possibility that this is the will of the Holy Emperor in the dark?

But for the latter guess, Xu Lie also did not think further on it.

Even he, let alone the most ancient antique-foundation figures in Qingyun Holy Land, did not know whether the Holy Emperor still lives in the world today.

Finally.

He took that stone stele shrunk countless times into his body, placing it within the Ku Hai.

And the stone stele still maintained its original style, motionless, without any light or thought transmitted, as if it were merely an utterly ordinary stone object.

Such a scene naturally stunned Qingyun Holy Master, the Supreme Elders, and that whole group of elder cultivators.

Their expressions could be described as somewhat complex, even said to be spectacular.

They never expected the sect's supreme treasure would actually run off with the current Holy Body?!

This made them extremely reluctant, and also unwilling to accept it.

Because this can be called a luck treasure; even when usually without movement, it could bring the sect endless confidence, as if even the disciples' daily cultivation could be tainted by a strand of the Holy Emperor's purple Qi.

But matters being so, everyone was helpless; this was the stone stele's spontaneous action, no one could stop it.

Just like that, Holy Body Xu Lie stepped onto the Star Sky Ancient Road.

Going with him on the road, besides several Human Race Heaven's Prides, there were also the Demon Race's Heavenly Demon Bodies and several other prodigies, and other races had them too.

For hundreds of years, Xu Lie could still be called advancing triumphantly all the way, rarely meeting a match, his path of advancement extremely smooth.

By the time his Holy Body initially reached Dacheng, he even thoroughly defeated the Heavenly Demon Body that had once been somewhat troublesome to contend with.

Not long after.

From the Star Sky Ancient Road, a sentence was transmitted back to the Beidou Star Eastern Wasteland land: "Rather fight the Heavenly Demon Body, never encounter the Dacheng Holy Body."

From this can be seen the dread of all cultivators toward Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie!

And this sentence naturally also became known to Holy Emperor Gu Xuan, who occasionally pays attention to the mortal world.

This couldn't help but make his expression also somewhat complex, or rather subtle.

"Rather fight the Heavenly Demon Body, never encounter the Dacheng Holy Body?"

Such a sentence made him feel very familiar, yet he always felt something was off.

Very quickly, he remembered; in the original trajectory, there seemed to be a sentence: "Rather fight the Dacheng Holy Body, never encounter Wu Shi!"

That was in later generations, words left by elder figures of the Demon Beast Palace, to express the many great demons of the demon race's dread of the Wushi Great Emperor.

This inevitably meant that in those later years, the demon race and human race frequently fought great battles, and in the end were suppressed by the Wushi Great Emperor, from then on deeply understanding this Great Emperor's terror.

Immediately after, Gu Xuan also quickly reacted; he roughly guessed the reason.

It is very possible that a certain Heaven's Pride among the demon race lived long enough, fought the Heavenly Demon Body, and also fought Holy Body Xu Lie.

Even later, they dueled with the pre-attainment Wushi Great Emperor, witnessing his invincible bearing far surpassing Holy Body Xu Lie.

And in the end, came the words "Rather fight the Dacheng Holy Body, never encounter Wu Shi"!

Gu Xuan's this guess approached the truth of the facts.

On the Star Sky Ancient Road.

Xu Lie, with constant good news and advancing fiercely all the way, could be called high-spirited, quite having the air of pointing the way.

He indeed had the reason for such a bearing.

Since he stepped onto the cultivation path nearly two thousand years ago, it had always been comparatively smooth.

In this era, relying on the divine might of generations of Human Race Great Emperors like the Holy Emperor, Void Great Emperor, Luan Gu Great Emperor, the turmoil of the several great Life Forbidden Zones was pacified one after another.

Among the remaining Forbidden Zone Supremes, few exist with little lifespan left who continue to appear to replenish Qi and Blood.

Therefore, the whole Great Universe appeared relatively peaceful, without any particularly fatal great panic.

And Holy Body Xu Lie indeed had astonishing bloodline, fully displaying the terror of the same body constitution as the Holy Emperor.

And his own personality was quite bold and unrestrained.

Therefore, after the Holy Body initially reached Dacheng, he was momentarily high-spirited, invited many friends including the Heavenly Demon Body, drank and made merry together, drank fine wine to the full, celebrating together.
