Chapter 74: The Road Ahead

That was the fact.

In this universe, they were Great Emperors, Great Accomplishment Holy Bodies, having almost reached the absolute peak of the Path of Humanity.

But compared to the true enemies of the future, they were still far from enough.

Gu Xuan finally stopped, choosing to close his eyes and regulate his breath.

As for Void.

When it was roughly shown to the Boundary Sea, his eyes lit up in an instant.

Because he remembered that at the five-colored altar beneath the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, he had retraced the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin.

Back then, he retraced the ancient coffin arriving at the end of the Xing Hai, about to cross a Chaos Sea, when all retracing imprints collapsed.

Thinking about it now, was that Chaos Sea the so-called Boundary Sea?

Although Gu Xuan only said that what he showed was a corner of a Time Imprint.

And did not say with certainty that this must be the complete truth.

But Void believed what Gu Xuan showed!

This was not only because both had seen a corner imprint of the Boundary Sea.

Nor only because the Immortal Path was right before their eyes, as well as Gu Xuan's heaven-defying Nirvana return.

But mainly because of his intuitive trust in Gu Xuan!

If someone else said this, one might listen, but it would hardly be convincing.

Only Gu Xuan's words carried such influence!

"If so, Great Emperors are far from the end..."

Void sighed.

From what Gu Xuan showed.

This Nine Heavens Ten Earths is only one of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Outside there are Strange Worlds, Immortal Domains, Foreign Domains, Boundary Seas, and so on.

And Great Emperor can only be said to be another starting point; above it are Immortals and Immortal Kings, and even higher.

And after reaching the Immortal Domain, there are still peerless great enemies!

At this moment, Ji Xu Kong couldn't help but feel surging emotions, unable to calm down.

It is no wonder his reaction seemed intense.

This had too great an impact on him, concerning how his future path would go!

And since the end of the Ancient Era, this universe has almost had no one who could become an Immortal!

Since time immemorial, how many Emperors and Sovereigns have asked the silent heavens, daring to ask if there are Immortals in the world?

Even if many Ancient Venerables deduced Heavenly Secrets, calculating that an Immortal Path would open in over ten thousand years.

But this was still only speculation, not verified.

Even as strong as Ye Tiandi of later generations, after his wife and daughter and two or three others entered the Immortal Domain, he was still not too sure, because the two realms could not communicate.

Until later he entered the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and discussed the Dao with the Female Emperor, only then did he firm his resolve to become an Immortal.

At this moment, Gu Xuan's clear indication was the same.

It made Void's heart shake violently; in his sea of consciousness, it was as if a fire was lit, like an Immortal Lamp illuminating the road ahead, dispelling the mist, and making his gaze firm.

"Thank you, Senior!" He stood up, wanting to perform a great bow to thank him.

Gu Xuan broke through the void and falsehood, equivalent to pointing out the road ahead for him; this answer was like a lighthouse in the night, its radiance shining through the ages, firming his heart and Dao.

"Between you and me, no need for this." Gu Xuan naturally stood up and supported him.

"Senior, back then beneath the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest on the Beidou Star, I also once saw a strange five-colored altar, and on it used a secret art to retrace a Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin..."

After Void sat down, he recounted slowly, describing in detail the scene he had seen.

"Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin? To cross the Boundary Sea?"

Gu Xuan's gaze also flickered for a moment, his expression strange.

Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, or rather, the Three Lives Bronze Coffin.

This was a supreme treasure running through the entire Zhetian Trilogy.

And within it, there was a mysterious world with flowing Immortal Light, containing Life Substance, almost equivalent to another Strange World.

"Senior, have you also heard of this strange object?"

Seeing Gu Xuan's expression, Void couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I've heard of it; it is a supreme treasure, a pity I cannot see it."

Gu Xuan sighed with emotion.

After a round of discussing the Dao, the two stood up and slowly paced around observing in this magnificent Ancient Hall.

The hall itself was made of special, hard material, built from Divine Stones.

Though precious, it was not rare; it could block Imperial Dao laws, mainly because the whole place was filled with Imperial Dao Array Patterns.

When Gu Xuan first came, the hall was filled with the killing aura of one or two Imperial Path Expert corpses.

But now thousands of years have passed, the killing aura had long dissipated with the removal of the Emperor's Corpse, leaving only that unique aura.

Void, as a Great Emperor, was naturally very sensitive to this aura.

This was an existence of the same level as him, but who had fallen here in endless ages past.

And this fully verified that what Gu Xuan said was true.

He carefully examined the Chaos Immortal Cave in the depths of the Ancient Hall, and a thought arose in his heart.

And when he told Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan actually knew it was not very likely to be realized, but he also had the thought of verifying it himself.

Thus.

The next moment, the two of them moved.

They exited the small world and returned to the skies above Ying Huo Gu Xing.

Then Gu Xuan repeated his old trick, raising his hand to pluck a Xing Chen from the Xing Kong to refine it, temporarily replacing Ying Huo.

Next, he swept his great sleeve and took the Ying Huo star away.

Afterward, the two crossed the Endless Star Domain and arrived at the Universe Borderlands in an instant.

Finally, they came to a dead silent region.

This place was too remote and desolate, almost no one would notice it.

After setting up Void Array Patterns to conceal Heavenly Secrets, the two returned once more to the underground small world, before the Chaos Immortal Cave.

This time, Void acted with full force, unleashing Extreme Dao Imperial Might.

He wanted to attempt to pierce through this Immortal Path!

At the very least, he wanted to obtain some Immortal Dao Essence!

Boom boom boom!

A Current Era Great Emperor acting with full force could be said to be terrifying beyond compare.

Even with Endless Void Array Patterns concealing it, the adjacent star domains nearby could still perceive the tremors of this borderland.

"Is this... two extraordinary existences exchanging blows?"

"Is someone undergoing a Peerless Heavenly Tribulation?"

But obviously, due to the existence of the array patterns, no Source Heaven Law Array in the outside world could observe it, only speculate.

Before the Chaos Passage.

Void and Gu Xuan both coughed blood in large mouthfuls, their bodies cracking.

Because Gu Xuan had also joined in afterward.

If this scene were spread to the outside world, it would cause a huge uproar.

To let a Current Era Great Emperor and a Great Completion Holy Body suffer such heavy injuries, this place is simply terrifying.

But the result was also cruel; the two working together still could not open this Immortal Path.

"Perhaps it would take one or two Heavenly Emperor Level Experts working together to possibly succeed."

This was Gu Xuan's speculation, and also received Void's approval.

Now.

With Gu Xuan's assistance, the pressure on Void's shoulders lessened greatly, and there were more possibilities.

He also roughly guessed that the Ruthless Female Emperor in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land had already possessed Heavenly Emperor Level Combat Power, and was already walking on the path of Red Dust Immortal.

Of course, the Female Emperor was in Nirvana, perhaps in an Unstable State, that was another matter.

Finally.

The two gave up attacking the Immortal Path.

After a period of recuperation and recuperation, their injuries recovered.

Gu Xuan again swept his great sleeve, took away the Ying Huo star, returned to the Solar System, and returned the Ying Huo star to its original position.

Honghuang Ancient Star.

Kunlun Mountains.

"What a Yun Xian Zhi Di!"

Standing in the high sky, overlooking this Immortal Ground's brilliant Immortal Light wondrous scene, Void could not help but speak in praise.

Having reached Gu Xuan and Void's current realm.

In this Universe, things that could move them were already very few.

And the Immortal Ground was obviously one of them.

The immortal light steamed here, auspicious clouds flashed, mist swirled, like a fairyland.

Especially the Ten Thousand Dragon Head Peaks spitting out Dragon Saliva, converging toward the central Cheng Immortal Pond, it could be said Immortal Essence Concentration, life essence concentrated to the extreme!

This was absolutely a Nirvana Land effective even for Emperor-level Experts!

The two figures descended.

In the process of approaching the Cheng Immortal Pond, they were attracted by some extremely powerful Qi machine.

That was a Broken Cliff.

On the cliff top floated a piece of Blood Robe, guarded by Chaos Guard, hundreds of thousands of years passed but still immortal, beside it stood a Stele, shining brightly.

From the Stele flowed vast Chaos, forming a Waterfall, half covering the Broken Cliff, for so many years still thus, could be called a miracle.

That kind of terrifying fluctuation was transmitted from there.

Not in the slightest weaker than Gu Xuan and Void, even faintly more powerful.

The two opened Heavenly Eyes, saw a line of words on the Blood Robe, brief and hasty: "I am going to die... but what about my younger sister?"

In a daze, a Light Rain appeared in the Void.

That was a woman arrogant toward the ancients and surpassing the present, with a Great Dao Treasure Vase hanging above her head, wherever she passed all things retreated, Ten Thousand Daos submitted, in Heaven and Earth she alone was supreme.

Arriving here, she sighed tragically to the sky, nine Ten Thousand Moons in the sky fell eight, her Green Silk danced, her face bore Tear Stains, making Heaven and Earth collapse.

She was powerful beyond compare, and beautiful to the point of being unreal, but at this moment her face bore Tear Stains, pitiful and lovable.

Finally, she raised her hand and beheaded a Xing Chen, refining it into a Stele erected here.

This was only a corner of Yin Ji, fleeting.

Even with Gu Xuan's strength, he could only Manifest this instant, because obviously some stronger Forbidden Power was obstructing.

Gu Xuan's heart trembled; even seeing this marvel again, he still could not calm his mind.

And the Void itself was moved.

Even though he had previously read related ancient texts and learned some records about the female emperor.

But upon truly seeing this scene, he still found his emotions unsettled.

This female emperor was powerful to the utmost peak, desiring to test herself against the heavens, yet she also had such a sorrowful side, hard to imagine.

The two gazed into the distance in silence for a long time, ultimately not drawing nearer.

At the Broken Cliff lay peerless killing intent; any ordinary cultivator who went there would surely die.

Even if an Emperor-level expert wished to act, they would only trigger heaven-shaking slaughter, comparable to a full strike from the female emperor.

And the entire Broken Cliff would not be damaged, perhaps having escaped.

Finally.

Gu Xuan and the Void departed, continuing on to the next stop.

Cheng Immortal Pond.

Immortal light radiance, mist pervading, a hundred million strands of divine light dancing, dazzling and brilliant.

"Senior... did you undergo transformation here for thousands of years?"

Looking at the Cheng Immortal Pond, over a zhang long and shaped like a placenta, the Void could not help but sigh with emotion.

He guessed the scene of that year.

After that incredibly desperate self-destruction, only a small piece of remnant body remained, carrying several strands of Great Dao law cutting, falling into the dark Star Depths.

After a long journey, he finally arrived at this Yun Xian Zhi Di.

Needless to say, being able to succeed in Nirvana, Gu Xuan did not know how many trials of life and death he endured, nor the unknown loneliness and suffering.

Returning to the old place, Gu Xuan also felt a lingering fear.

He could succeed in transformation; it could be said to be nine deaths and one life, for during the period there were several times he nearly completely perished.

"Yes, and I think this place can be considered an excellent venue, but one's inner self is still more important."

Combining his own experience, he put forward his view on undergoing Nirvana in Cheng Immortal Pond.

In fact.

Whether it was him, or Ye Tiandi of later generations.

Before undergoing Nirvana in Cheng Immortal Pond to produce the next life, both stored Immortal Dao Essence within their bodies.

The Void nodded slightly, deep in thought.

Obviously, Gu Xuan's words were of great reference value and had much guidance significance for his future path.

To make a Current Era Great Emperor like this, only Gu Xuan and a few existences of the same level could do so.

At this time.

Two miraculous Immortal Herbs suddenly rushed over, appearing before the two people.

One was a small White Tiger over a chi long, entirely snow-white like jade, with rosy light brilliant and immortal qi steaming, astonishing.

The other was a Ginseng Fruit Tree over a zhang high, bearing several snow-white fruits shaped like human forms, fragrant aroma assailing the nose, Dao Principles entwined, auspicious light of ten thousand Daos, extremely mysterious.

White Tiger Undying Medicine and Ginseng Fruit Undying Medicine!

In fact.

Not long after Gu Xuan returned to the old place, he discovered them.

And the Void was the same.

Several days ago, Gu Xuan awoke from a deep-level Nirvana Enlightenment Realm, took one step out, and went to Beidou Star to confront the Wujin Zhizun.

At that time, the scene of his surging Blood Qi and pressure over the Cosmos also startled these two Undying Medicines.

However.

Gu Xuan left too fast and too suddenly, surprising them both, with no time at all to "catch up."

Of course, their Divine Sense was rather weak; to say catching up was perhaps an exaggeration.

And Gu Xuan always remembered their kindness.

During those thousands of years of painful Nirvana time.

The only ones who came to visit him were these two "Little Friends," even giving him Immortality Medicine Fruit to help him recover sooner.

In the past.

There were also a few cultivators of not low cultivation level, who, to seek the legendary Immortal Fate, risked death to break into this Immortal Ground.

They also, like a fleeting glimpse, saw these two peerless Immortal Herbs, even attempting to harvest them.

But they escaped, like frightened little rabbits, fleeing far away.

Now.

Facing Gu Xuan and the other, they instead actively appeared and transmitted weak Spiritual Fluctuations.

"Hello?"

Gu Xuan opened his Palm, placing the two Immortal Herbs in his palm, like a Palm Treasure.

"I am better, thank you."

He sent out Divine Sense to comfort these two "Little Friends" who had accompanied him for thousands of years of Nirvana time, and with gratitude.

His Divine Sense did not hide from the Void; the latter could sense this exchange.

This scene made him also somewhat moved.

Obviously.

He also guessed that during those years when the Holy Body Senior underwent Nirvana alone, probably only these two Undying Medicines came to visit him.

"Great, then take us with you."

Two Yu Di trembled slightly, as if rejoicing, transmitting faint Divine Sense, among them expectation.

Besides, they were filled with awe and curiosity toward the Void beside Gu Xuan.

Because this was a Current Era Great Emperor, not at all inferior to their old friend Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan couldn't help but sigh, that he had actually reached this step, with Yu Di actively following him.

In Ancient Times almost every Great Emperor would raise one Yu Di, accompanying them for life, it was said that the medicine contained a shocking great Secret.

"Then come with us."

The Undying Immortal Medicines of Shi Jie are numbered, each one Unique.

Gu Xuan proposed, one person one plant.

But the Void declined, saying these were all Senior's friends, it was not proper to steal others' glory, but was ultimately persuaded by Gu Xuan.

Finally, the White Tiger Undying Medicine belonged to Gu Xuan, the Ginseng Fruit Tree belonged to the Void.

This was no small opportunity for both of them, concerning the Karma of Nirvana and the next life.

Only 4000 words were released on the day of launch, indeed not good, sorry everyone!
