Chapter 3

First.

He himself had suffered Dao injuries.

There was still a slight distance from the true Perfect Great Accomplishment Holy Body of flawless crimson blood.

For the Holy Body lineage, in its later stages, the golden blood within the body would truly slowly shed and transform, turning back into bright red.

Upon reaching the Extreme Realm.

The golden blood would completely shed, entirely turning into crimson blood.

The Great Accomplishment Holy Bodies spoken of by the world did not necessarily all possess flawless Holy Blood.

This was merely a title of invincibility, but there were certainly Holy Bodies with thoroughly bright red blood.

For example, the Mars Holy Body.

Of course, this was not due to insufficient innate talent.

Rather.

The era of such Dark Turmoil would not allow him to do so.

Back when the Holy Body had just reached Great Accomplishment, he had not yet had time to fully heal his injuries and stabilize his state.

He was forced to face a Great Enemy in battle, resulting in Dao injuries.

Although later, with a peerless bearing, he underwent Tribulation multiple times, seeking to defy heaven and change his fate.

But ultimately he still failed to achieve perfection.

But this was enough.

As the last generation among the nine Great Holy Bodies, the Holy Cliff Holy Body.

The number and strength of enemies he faced were also rarely seen since ancient times!

With a slightly flawed Great Accomplishment Holy Body, he defeated all enemies, pacifying who knows how many Dark Turmoils.

His merits could be said to be in no way inferior to the Mars Holy Body.

And he did not shame the previous generation Great Emperors and the Eight Seniors.

Second.

He had already consumed an Undying Divine Medicine once.

Without a doubt, this was used to heal himself when pacifying the turmoil back then.

Surprisingly, the same as the Void Great Emperor!

One can imagine what kind of Peerless Great Enemy he encountered back then.

Gu Xuan sighed!

His former self, though brilliant for a lifetime.

Yet few people could know the great merits he had done for the Human Race.

Additionally, a dense sense of pressure involuntarily rose in his heart.

Originally he thought.

Using his advantage of knowing the plot, he would seek out an Undying Medicine, live out a Second Life.

In that case, the problem would be simple.

With the Peak Blood Qi of a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, he would naturally not fear the Bu Si Dao Ren's sneak attack.

And with the Void Great Emperor helping him, it would presumably not be so arduous.

But reality shattered his assumptions.

The current him, even if he repelled the Bu Si Dao Ren's sneak attack, still could not change the fact of his Second Life's old age.

To defy heaven and change fate, unless he achieved Nirvana and lived out a Third Life!

But, how difficult this is!

Throughout history, the vast majority of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors relied on Undying Divine Medicines to live out a Second Life.

In their Second Life's old age, they either sat in meditation and passed away, or Self-Severed and entered a Forbidden Zone.

Those able to achieve Nirvana and emerge into a Third Life are countable on one's fingers!

To speak precisely, only a mere few: Ye Fan, Wu Shi, Ruthless Person, Undying Heavenly Emperor, Di Zun, etc.

As for Xiaoyao Tianzun and Huahua Dadi.

One used Great Dao Possession, one used the Holy Spirit Method; they can be considered unorthodox methods.

There is also the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor.

But that was his racial talent; others cannot learn it.

Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

A trace of a bitter smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face.

Others transmigrate, either with a System or a Strange Treasure.

With a System or Strange Treasure helping, one could easily live out a Third Life — what a great start!

How come when it reached me, I have neither?

But soon, he changed his train of thought.

He already knew the plot, and possessed Supreme-level Combat Power.

This could be called a double Golden Finger.

Why be insatiable, getting Long and still wanting Shu?

Finally.

He calmed his mind, painstakingly pondering a way to break the deadlock.

Right now, the primary key lies in cracking the Bu Si Dao Ren's ambush kill!

You must know.

This fatal killing tribulation could arrive at any moment, along with the exhaustion of one's own blood qi.

If one cannot even pass the test of the Undying Taoist, what is there to speak of living out a third life?

Even more so, there is no need to mention becoming an immortal in the red dust, or longevity enduring.

……

Thinking of the Void.

In Gu Xuan's sea of consciousness, a recent segment of memory involuntarily surfaced.

Ten years ago, outside the Holy Cliff.

"Is the Holy Body Senior present!"

"Junior Ji Xu Kong requests an audience!"

This was a man of ordinary appearance, yet inwardly containing heroic magnificence.

There were not many words.

Yet he was steady and upright, neither arrogant nor impatient; his actions were open and aboveboard, shining through the ages.

Although he had not yet become an Emperor, he was already fighting alone.

Guarding his relatives, guarding the vast human race.

He performed the great rite of worship, and it was obviously from the heart, for the Holy Body had shown him great grace.

The Dacheng Holy Body also did not let him truly perform the rite.

Instead, he circulated his magical power and helped him up.

The two were nominally protecting the Dao, but in reality they were kindred spirits.

Even to call them comrades would not be excessive.

Obviously.

Ji Xu Kong was already not seeing the Dacheng Holy Body for the first time; there was not much restraint.

He got straight to the point: "Please, Senior, strive for a hundred years of time for me?"

The Dacheng Holy Body sighed, wanting to say something, yet not knowing how to open his mouth.

He had already understood the meaning of Ji Xu Kong's words.

The Huanggu Era.

Nine generations of the Human Race's Dacheng Holy Bodies appeared in succession, suppressing the Dark Turmoil.

As of today.

Those Forbidden Zone Supremes who could not endure any longer have already regarded the Human Race as a thorn in the eye.

Especially the Human Race's high-level Quasi-Emperors, they are all the more determined to eliminate them and be done with it.

In these years, the Forbidden Zone scions have frequently mobilized, hunting and killing the Human Race's high-level cultivators.

Even worse, their fathers' generation have directly acted.

Using the Human Race's peerless talents as human-shaped great medicine, directly acting to wipe them out.

Before Ji Xu Kong, the Human Race was not lacking in stunningly brilliant figures.

Yet most of them could not reach the end.

Behind this, the Forbidden Zones can be said to have exerted no small effort.

On the path of cultivation, the Heavenly Tribulation is terrifying, but the Human Tribulation is even more so!

If it were not for the Dacheng Holy Body acting in anger, slaughtering several Forbidden Zone scions.

Almost triggering a Supreme Great War.

In the end, an agreement was reached with the Forbidden Zones: Supremes may not act.

Otherwise, the Human Race would only be even weaker than now.

But whether it is the Dacheng Holy Body, or the Forbidden Zone Supremes.

They all deeply know this situation will not last too long.

If the Dacheng Holy Body has no successor.

Those few Supremes with little lifespan left will surely launch the most desperate Dark Turmoil in history.

And the focus will definitely be the Human Race!

At that time, the Human Race might go extinct.

At most, a few seedlings would be left behind, kept for the next harvest.

The Dacheng Holy Body has sat guarding outside the Undying Mountain these years, constantly burning his essence blood.

It is precisely to strive for time for a successor.

And among them, Ji Xu Kong is the most outstanding of the survivors after the tribulation.

On one hand.

The Dacheng Holy Body indeed gave a few crucial pointers, and acted to assist.

On the other hand.

It also has a great relationship with Ji Xu Kong himself, with his Void Questioning the Dao, and his Innate Undefeated Position.

Looking at Ji Xu Kong at the Quasi-Emperor Eighth Heaven, the Dacheng Holy Body understood his meaning.

He intends to cross the final two layers of the Imperial Tribulation within a hundred years, prove the Dao and become an Emperor!

But how difficult is this!

Since ancient times, Heaven's Prides have numbered in the hundreds of millions, and monsters are so many.

Those able to reach the Quasi-Emperor realm, every generation is not lacking in such people.

But those who truly became Emperors were pitifully few.

Thirty Emperors across the ages — how many Sages turned to dust!

Why?

Only because the Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulations, each layer harder than the last.

Especially the final Great Emperor Tribulation, it could no longer be described as terrifying.

How many geniuses on the Quasi-Emperor road, unable to break through the Dao barrier, died unknown, body and Dao extinguished.

And the Human Tribulation, that was even more beyond mention.

The Emperor Road is paved with blood and bones!

As for crossing the final two Emperor Tribulations in succession?

Without sufficient accumulation, the danger of the tribulation would only multiply!

In ancient history, there has never been a Venerable Ancient Emperor who did this.

The Emperor Venerable of old did not, the Undying Heavenly Emperor did not either!

The Great Accomplishment Holy Body looked at the plain and unadorned Ji Xu Kong before him.

Overbearing and fierce as he was, his gaze could not help but reveal a trace of gentleness.

Within it there was even a trace of compassion!

This young man before him appeared ordinary, yet in truth his natural endowment was peerless!

He observed the eternal unchanging laws of the universe, seized Heaven and Earth Creation, and pioneered the Supreme Void Dao!

The Space Dao, like Time, both are Forbidden Domains of the Path of Humanity!

One who grasps this Dao, if they reach the Ultimate Domain, their achievement may not stop at the Imperial Realm.

Ji Xu Kong is truly a Peerless Heavenly Prodigy seen once in ten thousand ages of the Human Clan!

Only a pity such a hero was born in this dark era.

Those few ancient existences in the Forbidden Zones stirring restlessly, would they give him the chance to grow?

Such a peerless junior hero.

Forced by the general trend, he embarked on such an urgent journey of proving the Dao!

If he had been born three hundred years earlier?

No! Even two hundred years, I could have protected him all the way to becoming Emperor……

Only now my combat power is long past its peak, how can I protect him?

Now barely clinging to life, it is merely to deter the Forbidden Zones!

Even so, the Great Accomplishment Holy Body soon made a decision.

"Xu Kong, go then, I will protect your Dao for you."

He possessed a peerless domineering aura, yet at this moment his eyes also revealed a trace of gentleness.

Go, young man,

Pursue the road of the ancient outstanding talents,

Carrying the ancestors' hopes,

Achieve the Dao under the protection of the predecessors' heroic spirits.

Blessings to all you big shots, health and peace!
