Chapter 4

~8 min read 1,555 words

Returning from his memories, Gu Xuan examined his own situation.

Right now, what lay before him seemed to be a dead end.

To cross it, he had to break through two checkpoints.

First was the killing tribulation of the Bu Si Dao Ren coming to ambush him.

Second was achieving Nirvana to live out a Third Life.

Of course, after living out the Third Life, there would certainly be other difficulties.

However.

These were not problems Gu Xuan could consider right now.

His primary key at present was to break through these two current obstacles.

Let's speak of the first checkpoint first.

Although he already knew the Bu Si Dao Ren would come to ambush him, it was absolutely not easy to pass.

The Bu Si Dao Ren was the Divine Self of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

Who was the Undying Heavenly Emperor? An existence revered as "God" by the Ten Thousand Races of the Primeval Era.

Before even becoming an Emperor, he dared to ambush kill an Emperor Venerable; his resolve and courage were evident.

After achieving the Dao, he was honored as Heavenly Emperor.

How could these two characters be casually bestowed? It was truly because he was too strong!

Later his cultivation flourished daily, surpassing the ancient and unrivaled in the present, commanding the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, revered by the Ten Thousand Races as the Supreme God, wishing to compete with True Immortals!

In his later period, he even became one of the few Red Dust Immortals of all eternity.

The Divine Self of such a person — where could it be weak?

Although.

In his early years, the Bu Si Dao Ren had been separated out by the Undying Heavenly Emperor.

But according to Gu Xuan's estimation.

Among the Forbidden Zone Supremes, the Bu Si Dao Ren's strength was absolutely in the strongest rank.

As for why he waited until Gu Xuan's old age to ambush him?

Gu Xuan guessed there might be two reasons.

First, like the other Forbidden Zone Supremes, fighting a Holy Body in its prime, even if victorious, would inevitably consume too much Blood Qi, not worth it.

Second, perhaps it was the same cautiousness passed down in the Undying Heavenly Emperor's line.

Against such a figure.

In his own prime years, Gu Xuan might still have been able to win with Blood Qi.

But now he had entered old age, his Blood Qi gradually withering.

What's more, other Supremes might also act.

Although in the original work, this point was not specified.

But Gu Xuan could not help but guard against it.

And even if he passed the first checkpoint, an even more difficult second checkpoint awaited him!

That was, living out the Third Life!

Otherwise, what awaited him was withering!

But how could this be easy.

Even, it could almost be said to be a dead end!

Since ancient times, how many Emperors and Sovereigns only lived out a Second Life by consuming Undying Medicine.

Those able to achieve Nirvana into a Third Life could be counted on one's fingers!

Difficult!

Gu Xuan's brows were almost knitted together.

He exhausted his mind and energy, bitterly thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

In his mind, he tried his best to recall the plot from the original work.

The most urgent task: one was to raise Combat Power, two was to restore Blood Qi.

Regarding Combat Power, he already had the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and the Traveling Word Secret.

Then, he could try to search for the other several types among the Nine Secrets.

Regarding Blood Qi, he could seek Undying Divine Medicine or Half-Divine Medicine.

Although he had already consumed Undying Medicine once.

Consuming it again, the medicinal efficacy would be greatly reduced.

But ultimately it could still increase lifespan by several hundred years.

And these several hundred years of Blood Qi might just become the key!

……

Gu Xuan pondered.

A full three days.

He sat on the Dao Platform without moving, as if he had already entered extinction.

Only the faint, barely perceptible terrifying Qi mechanism overflowing around the Dao Platform proclaimed his world-shocking power.

Three days later, he moved.

Originally, when a Great Accomplishment Holy Body went out, it was a Golden Light Avenue.

True Dragons soared, Immortal Phoenixes circled, Black Tortoises paved the road... strands of auspicious clouds, rays of divine light, laid out to form the Great Dao.

But this time.

He deliberately used Chaos to conceal the traces of his journey.

Simply tearing open the void with great power, crossing the Cosmos.

The Universe is incomparably magnificent, surpassing human imagination!

Yet it is also boundlessly vast, with eternal desolation and extreme cold.

For Gu Xuan, this is a novel experience.

Along the way, he occasionally stopped to gain insight.

Such magnificent wonders cannot be viewed by anyone below Sage.

However, he did not spend too much time sighing.

After all, now is not the time for him to be distracted.

……

First stop, Zi Wei Gu Xing Yu.

Bei Hai.

This sea is pitch black like ink, great waves shatter clouds, boundlessly vast.

For ordinary cultivators, this is a mysterious and unfathomable forbidden ground, with invisible killing intent.

But for Gu Xuan, there is no secrecy at all.

He saw an island in the deepest part of Bei Hai at a glance.

Tang Gu.

This is a peaceful pure land.

Life force flourishes on the island, old medicines everywhere, various medicinal fragrances assail the senses, making one feel as if bathed, pores relaxed.

On the ancient cliff in the center, a golden ancient tree stands tall.

It is about six zhang high, the whole tree of golden leaves dazzling, densely stacked, gently swaying, like stars falling across the sky.

A special fragrant aroma assails the nose, unique, transcendent and worldly.

Fusang Undying Medicine!

The divine medicine that once followed Taiyang Sheng Huang!

Taiyang Sheng Huang has passed away nearly a million years ago, yet it still remains in the world.

Gu Xuan's figure stands in the air above, carefully examining the divine tree below shining with golden light.

Only to see golden solar Saint Power flowing upon it.

As if opening up an ancient universe, evolving three thousand worlds, hazy golden mist swirling, magnificent.

Indeed.

Undying Medicine, the greatest secret of this universe.

Among them lies the opportunity for becoming an Immortal.

In ancient legends, there are thirty Undying Medicines between Heaven and Earth.

Nowadays, less than half of the Undying Medicines are missing.

The remaining ones are mostly in Forbidden Zones.

Only a very few may have been lost in some secret realm or Chaos Small World.

How vast and boundless the Universe is; even a Great Emperor cannot possibly explore it all.

Only by relying on special opportunities can one possibly obtain them.

As for after the Hòu Huāng Gǔ Shídài, half of the thirty Undying Medicines were even fewer.

However, that is a story for later.

Right now.

The Fusang Undying Medicine is one of the ownerless divine medicines known to Gu Xuan.

Of course, there are others.

For example, the True Dragon Immortality Medicine of Ten Thousand Dragons Nest.

The True Phoenix Undying Medicine of Gu Huangshan.

Lan Xing, which is the Honghuang Ancient Star, has the White Tiger Undying Medicine and Ginseng Fruit Tree in the Immortal Ground.

In addition, there are the half-divine medicines Zu Shen and Old He Shou Wu.

However, for Gu Xuan now, one Undying Medicine is enough.

It can help him obtain key Blood Qi for another three to four hundred years.

Seeking others would be temporarily useless and waste precious time.

Now, every minute and every second is exceptionally precious to Gu Xuan.

He did not directly move the Fusang Undying Medicine into his Ku Hai.

With his realm, he naturally saw at once that the Undying Medicine is covered with Order Divine Chains.

And the chains come from the Sun Stone Pagoda deep underground in Tang Gu.

Taiyang Sheng Huang's Imperial Weapon!

Back then, the Holy Emperor's transformation failed, and the Fusang Divine Tree and Sun Stone Pagoda were left here.

And these two are the two great purposes of Gu Xuan's journey.

He extended a big hand, grabbing toward the Sun Stone Pagoda in the layers of restrictions deep underground in Tang Gu.

The next moment, the palm-sized Sun Stone Pagoda stood in his palm.

As a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, although array patterns are not his forte, Imperial Path restrictions are useless against him.

Boom!

Under the stimulation of Gu Xuan's near-Imperial Path aura, the Sun Stone Pagoda recovered.

Terrifying Imperial Path laws manifested, emitting Ultimate Path might!

The pagoda body circulated with terrifying solar power, as if to incinerate the Heavens and Worlds.

As if the Taiyang Sheng Huang had returned!

In an instant, the Taiyang Dao swept across the entire Bei Hai.

The next moment, there were even fluctuations affecting the trend of the entire Ziwei Star Domain.

However.

At the critical moment, Gu Xuan used great Fa Li to set up a Restriction.

Confining the natural fluctuations after the Sun Stone Pagoda's recovery within Bei Hai.

For this trip, he had plans, and did not wish to alarm too many.

Blessings to all Big Shots, Health Peace!
