Chapter 324 The Great Talk of Immortality

Buzz!
Lu Heng summoned the Altar of Heavenly Mandate, his Heavenly Emperor-level cultivation allowing him to sense the Heavenly Dao and control the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. He could now utilize even more of the universe's mighty power. He activated his supreme divine abilities, and a torrent of azure-purple fortune descended, unknowingly bestowing upon him the position of a true god.

In a corner of the Heavenly Court, a magnificent temple stood tall, where the vast power of faith from all directions converged, radiating golden light and auspicious clouds. It welcomed all who came, and what was originally faith in the Heavenly Court was transformed into faith in the temple.

Inside the temple, the ruthless brother's mangled body was enveloped in golden light, and a vibrant aura of blood energy permeated the air. A strange call echoed throughout, seemingly transcending time and space, seeking to reunite his soul and will.

The Empress gazed at the scene as if deducing something, and uttered only one sentence: "It is not reincarnation, but time and space."

If reincarnation were to occur again, and a similar flower were to bloom, would it be the return of that person from the past?

If a person dies, and their cells are used to clone a body, and their remaining soul is gathered and their memories injected, is that person still considered the same person?
The world of Shrouding the Heavens does not recognize either of these two types of resurrection. They firmly believe in the present life and not in the afterlife. Therefore, only the original owner who is pulled out from time and space by the Immortal Emperor through the reflection of time and space, at a great cost, is the true resurrection.

To some extent, the energy level of the Shrouding the Heavens universe is quite high. The resurrection of most of the myriad worlds is merely a matter of flesh and blood being reassembled and souls being reunited.

The Emperor's Conferment of Gods technique could actually reach this level, bestowing the title of a true god and, through the faith of all living beings, transcending time and space to bring the dead back.

Of course, this will have a major karmic consequence, which is an omen of misfortune for the country.

Therefore, Lu Heng rarely bestowed the title of True God, and secretly used the name of the Heavenly Court to transfer part of the cause and effect.

In any case, the Heavenly Court's name carries no shortage of karma.

The Empress studied it for a long time and found that the resurrection of her loved ones could not be accomplished in a short time. After all, her ruthless brother was not a being of the imperial way like Taiyin or Taiyang, and he also had divine thoughts and physical remains, so it would take a long time.

Immediately, she drifted away, leaving behind four kinds of immortal gold chains, each with immense weight, enough to forge four supreme artifacts: Divine Mark Purple Gold, Immortal Tear Green Gold, Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, and Dragon Pattern Black Gold. These chains were used to suppress her.

She left behind her Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality, which she had thoroughly researched and, under cultivation, was approaching the level of a semi-immortal elixir, with medicinal power equivalent to two elixirs of immortality.

Lu Heng sighed, knowing that this was the Ruthless Emperor's way of expressing his gratitude. The other party was not good with words, but showed his appreciation through actions, so he accepted it.

The nine immortals of the Heavenly Shroud possess different profound mysteries, but when combined, they are all qualified to be used to forge quasi-immortal emperor artifacts.

He also possessed another Divine Mark Purple Gold Pagoda within his body. The immortal materials were duplicated, and he had previously intended to keep it for forging artifacts with the nine types of immortal gold. Now, however, he was being generous and simply bestowed it upon his cheap disciple, Xiao Song.

As for the pitiful Jiang Ming of the Sun Body, he couldn't bear to look at him and decided to teach him the otherworldly method of smelting the Nine Heavens Divine Materials into Chaos Immortal Jade. This is how the Chaos Immortal Jade Holy Spirit was formed. As for the Yin-Yang Immortal Jade of the Taiji Yin-Yang Furnace, it requires otherworldly immortal treasures, which is not very suitable.

To be honest, he hadn't taught these two disciples a single day since he took them in, so giving them some gifts was nothing special.

"The universe of the world is vast and boundless, with a large amount of chaotic immortal soil left over from the previous era. If we search carefully for immortal metals, we can quickly gather all nine kinds of immortal metals."

Lu Heng seemed to be deep in thought. The Heavenly Court was also promoting this, constantly acquiring fragments of immortal gold from the universe.

Currently, he possesses the Immortal King Artifact [Innate Five Elements Flag], the Immortal Artifact [Heavenly Mandate Cauldron], and the Immortal Artifact [Chaos Lotus Platform], some of which are fully formed, while others are still in their embryonic stage.

The Imperial Weapons [Taiji Yin Yang Furnace], [Innate Five Elements Pearl], [Immortal-Slaying Black Gourd], [Purple Heaven Palace], and [Earth Emperor Seal] have all been tempered by the Heavenly Emperor's Laws, surpassing ordinary Imperial Weapons and approaching the level of Immortal Artifacts.

However, most of the supreme treasures are of limited quality and may not be qualified to be promoted to Immortal King artifacts, let alone Quasi-Immortal Emperor artifacts. Lu Heng intends to combine all the supreme treasures and all the immortal materials into one protective magic weapon, which will suffice. He doesn't need too many; as long as the potential is sufficient and it can continue to advance in the future, that's enough.

However, this cannot be accomplished overnight.

He also ascended to the rank of Great Emperor, and looked towards the realm of True Immortals. He had plenty of time and was not in a hurry.
-
All the emperors and supreme beings of the Heavenly Court gathered together and discussed the Dao. Five hundred years had passed, and each of them had consolidated their Dao fruits and made ample progress. They had explored the realm of the Emperor's Dao to the extreme and all looked towards becoming immortals.

The Azure Emperor was the first to mock himself, saying, "The path of opening up the Immortal Realm is temporarily blocked. I learned from the fragments of the Undying Emperor's memories that only the supreme beings who reigned as kings among immortals in the previous era were qualified to open up the Immortal Realm. The first Immortal Realm was formed by dozens of Immortal Kings merging with countless universes."

"My cultivation is inferior to that of a true immortal. I was too arrogant to attempt to transform the mortal realm into an immortal realm. Fortunately, my friend woke me up in time, allowing me to comprehend the chaos, observe the path of rebirth through the elixir of immortality, and live out my third life."

"Now it seems that becoming an immortal through living a life contrary to worldly desires is more practical."

"However..." the Azure Emperor changed his tone: "Reversing life is not easy. A method of immortality can only last one lifetime, and it will become ineffective after that. I followed the path of Nirvana of the elixir of immortality and lived one lifetime. This method cannot be used in the next life, but you can refer to it."

The Nine Nether Emperor and the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be deep in thought.

The former possesses the True Phoenix Treasure Technique and has one chance for Nirvana. If he then uses this opportunity to comprehend the true meaning of the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, he will have another life. If he takes the Elixir of Immortality again, he will have an extra life, making a total of four lives. Of course, this is the ideal situation, and it is not certain that he can completely succeed. There are still five more lives to go, which will be very difficult.

The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor, on the other hand, focused his attention on the Xuanwu Longevity Elixir. His body contained the Xuanwu bloodline, which might allow him to live a third life. Since he had already taken the elixir of immortality, there was no room for error afterward. At worst, he would go to a strange world.

In any case, in the realm of the Great Emperor, each additional lifetime brings unparalleled resources. Even if one breaks through to the True Immortal realm, they will definitely not be an ordinary True Immortal.

The Yin Emperor and the Sun Emperor also had insights. With the Fusang laurel tree by their side, they had actually realized this in their later years and had a chance to conceive an immortal essence and live out a third life. However, they were attacked by the Immortal Emperor.

Now that he has become a true god, he is even more eager to get rid of this state and truly come back to life.

The two exchanged a glance and said, "We are the sun and the moon, our yin and yang merging together. By combining the true meaning of the elixir of immortality from Fusang and the laurel, we are confident that we can live out our third life."

"As for the fourth generation, he also had ideas. Observing the evolution of the chaos of the Hongmeng Daoist, he couldn't help but recall an ancient saying: 'The Yin and the Yang, which is stronger and which is weaker? When Yin and Yang work together, the world will be ruled by the emperor.' Perhaps this is the hidden meaning of chaos."

"I think our fourth life might fall into the realm of evolutionary chaos."

Upon hearing this, the Chaos Jade Emperor's eyes flickered. Her cultivation was still shallow, and her title of Heavenly Emperor was purely due to the advantages brought by her physique and race. The path to immortality was long and arduous. Although the Immortal Jade Holy Spirit was quite long-lived, she did indeed need to consider the method of immortality as soon as possible.

Whether it's the sun's evolution into chaos or the elixir of immortality and the Nirvana method, both have a great effect on her.

Only the Supreme Emperor frowned deeply; could it be that he was trying to comprehend the True Dragon Immortal Medicine? As for the Desolate Lord's Holy Body, the Mars Holy Body, the Golden Crow Supreme, and the others, they could only smile wryly; none of them had even become emperors yet.

Fortunately, discussing the Dao in advance is very beneficial. After digesting it, one can explore the Supreme One's life of defying the heavens and accumulating enough foundation to become an emperor against all odds.

“Amitabha, well said, well said. The emperors discuss the Dao, protect each other’s Dao, and in groups of a few, they live in reverse and become immortals.”

The Great Emperor Amitabha Buddha put his hands together and began to speak of his own path: "I lived a third life by believing in the Nirvana Dharma and referring to the Nirvana path under the Bodhi tree. I have already used this method of longevity. I discussed with the Green Emperor and vaguely sensed my past life. We decided to study reincarnation together and borrow the fruits of our past lives."
