Chapter 40: Hope of the Chaos Body?
Time flowed leisurely; a hundred years passed in a flash.
Honghuang Ancient Star, Kunlun Mountains.
Inside the Cheng Xian Chi, over a zhang in length, immortal light was brilliant, mist and haze pervading.
If someone were to push aside this faint mist where immortal essence gathered, they would be able to see.
In the Cheng Xian Chi, like a placenta, lay a cluster of crystalline flesh and blood.
Its shape resembled a severed remnant body, yet also somewhat like a fetus.
It was precisely Gu Xuan.
For a hundred years, the Cheng Xian Chi, like a placenta nurturing an immortal, preserved a thread of his divine sense from perishing.
It also won him the most precious time.
Dong!
A heartbeat sounded, extremely faint, yet seeming to reverberate through the entire Immortal Ground.
This was the first heartbeat to sound within Gu Xuan's body in a hundred years.
In the distance, a little White Tiger raised its head slightly, as if hearing something.
At its side, a fruit tree over a zhang tall trembled rustling, transmitting a thread of surprised, weak divine sense.
In the void.
A faint sigh drifted out.
Gu Xuan sighed; having spent this long, he could finally be said to have escaped the danger of total annihilation.
That day, at the battle's last moment, the Ice Emperor sacrificed his Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, piercing through Gu Xuan's frontal bone.
In that instant, under the Ice Emperor's incomparably sharp Imperial Path might, the Eternal Blue Gold Ice Staff inputted the ultimate Ice Dao Imperial Laws.
This is a manifestation of one of the Universe's supreme mysteries!
It is also the ultimate reappearance of the Ice Emperor's Forbidden Chapter Secret Technique!
Even with the Undying Golden Body of a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, it was difficult to resolve.
If not for the Cheng Xian Chi, this universe-rare ground that nurtures immortals, and the one ten-thousandth of Immortal Dao Essence still remaining in Gu Xuan's body, he would absolutely have had no survival.
Lacking either, he would have been impossible to nirvana again.
Even so.
Over these years, he had several close brushes with death, almost utterly perishing.
Fortunately, he ultimately endured.
As of today, Gu Xuan discovered that within his Great Dao, there was an additional rune.
Its shape was like ice crystal, perfect and filled with profound qi.
Obviously.
He had ultimately resolved this Ice Law of the Ice Emperor, and finally transformed it into an Order Divine Chain within his body.
Not only that.
Gu Xuan also discovered to his astonishment that within his Great Dao, there faintly emerged a thread of Chaos Qi.
This was completely different from the qi of his Holy Body lineage, therefore appearing exceptionally conspicuous.
Could it be, this is the result after refining the Ice Emperor's law?
The Holy Body lineage is inherently utmost yang, utmost rigid.
While the Ice Emperor's Ice Dao Law can be called utmost yin, utmost cold.
One yin, one yang; yin and yang harmonize, chaos becomes emperor.
Perhaps, this is a road that can be walked in the future, Gu Xuan pondered in his heart.
However, this is merely an infinitesimal clue, the most elementary manifestation, not even counting as a bud.
True Chaos is absolutely not achieved just by smelting one Ice Law.
Gu Xuan did not take this too much to heart, because it is still too distant.
At this moment, what is most important for him is still nirvana.
Suddenly.
A little White Tiger came to above the Cheng Xian Chi, appearing before Gu Xuan's eyes.
It was about a chi long, fragrant aroma assaulting the nose, Dao Principles swirling around it, auspicious light of ten thousand daos, extremely profound and marvelous.
Cute to the extreme, and astonishing.
At its side was the Ginseng Fruit Tree over a zhang tall, hanging a few snow-white fruits shaped like human forms, warm and crystalline, emitting a clear fragrance.
"You're awake?"
From above came a thread of weak divine sense; it was curious concern.
This made Gu Xuan both amused and moved.
Over these years, the ones coming to visit him were just these two "little friends."
The Immortal Ground's Imperial Formation does not restrict them; they can come and go freely near the Cheng Xian Chi.
The only thing these two Undying Divine Medicines fear somewhat is a Broken Cliff.
There floats a Blood Robe, guarded by Chaos, seemingly immortal through ten thousand ages.
Beside the Blood Robe stands a Stele, shining brilliantly; vast Chaos Waterfall flows from the stele text, vast like a Star River; no one dares approach.
In the Cheng Xian Chi.
Gu Xuan strove to condense a thread of divine sense, wanting to reply to the White Tiger Divine Medicine.
"Mm..."
Merely a single character, yet it was already the limit of what he could do at this moment.
Back then, in the great battle with the Undying Taoist and the Ice Emperor, his injuries were too severe.
Rustle rustle.
A snow-white, crystalline Ginseng Fruit fell down, integrating into the Immortal Essence within the Immortal Pond.
Simultaneously, the little White Tiger also spat out a mass of Immortal Light Radiance material — that was its Undying Divine Nature Essence.
This moved Gu Xuan deeply in his heart.
He strove to send out a faint ripple, to express gratitude.
Although these fruits did not have much effect on him, integrating them into the pond still provided some help.
And observing and gaining insight into the Undying mysteries within might perhaps promote his Nirvana slightly.
Merely, his great battle with two Flawless Ancient Emperors — the damage was still too heavy.
And with very little Immortal Dao Essence remaining, wanting to achieve Nirvana into a Third Life was still extremely difficult, requiring long accumulation.
This time would not be short — perhaps needing several hundred or even thousands of years.
Gu Xuan roughly estimated in his heart.
……
Since the Void Great Emperor achieved the Dao.
Throughout the Universe, the Primordial Races' arrogant momentum has restrained somewhat.
As for the Taigu Royal Clan, they have not restrained themselves, as if they have something to rely on.
But regardless, the Human Race situation across the Universe is improving day by day.
News of the Void Great Emperor achieving the Dao spread throughout the Universe Xing Kong, giving Human Race cultivators hearts of pilgrimage.
Especially after the Great Emperor established a hundred-year appointment, Human Race experts were even more excited and yearning, rushing toward the Beidou Ancient Star.
Besides pilgrimage, they mainly came to listen to the Great Emperor's sermon.
Being able to hear the Dharma under a Great Emperor is a Great Opportunity, a Great Fortune rarely encountered in ten thousand ages.
The path of cultivation steals Yin and Yang, seizes Fortune — profound beyond profundity.
Among them, who knows how many perilous barriers.
Wanting to break through a bottleneck, to advance slightly higher — without sufficient Heaven's Pride and opportunity, it is like flowers in a mirror, moon in water, difficult beyond difficulty!
Those who comprehend the Dao to assault a barrier but die halfway, their Dao extinguished — since ancient times, unknown how many.
But since ancient times there are also many records: some, after listening to Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors preach the Dao, receive teachings and resolve doubts, return and immediately step into a new level, or comprehend new Secret Techniques.
Even more extreme: during the sermon, they break through on the spot, triggering Heavenly Tribulation.
Therefore, many cultivators await this pilgrimage with full anticipation.
……
The hundred-year deadline approaches.
Over these years, cultivators have continuously crossed the starry sky, rushing toward the Beidou Ancient Star.
Although those who can do this are basically Saint realm and above, it does not prevent them from bringing along the Heaven's Pride among the younger generation.
These Heaven's Pride — not one is not an outstanding talent selected from hundreds of millions.
The competition, games, and interests among them — each is worthy of praise, even of writing a book about.
And now, being brought to listen to a Great Emperor's sermon — this may become the most unforgettable legendary experience of their lives.
Eastern Wasteland, Ji Family.
Since the Void Great Emperor achieved the Dao, the Ji Family has become increasingly prosperous.
The Ji Family Head was originally a worried old Saint, anxious for the clan's survival.
Now seeing this grand scene of ten thousand clans coming to pay homage, his smile has smoothed away even his wrinkles.
This day.
The entire Ji Family saw Purple Qi Comes from the East, Dao surging golden lotuses, Holy Radiance filling the sky — a strand of Diandao Weiya emanating from the nine heavens.
Precisely the day the hundred-year deadline arrived.
Everyone, upon sensing this Diandao Weiya, knew this was the Void Great Emperor manifesting.
Above the Ji Family Ancestral Grounds.
A vast, majestic Dao Platform faintly appeared, Ten Thousand Daos Interweaving, Imperial Prestige pervading, vast and mighty across the Heavens and Worlds!
