The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 30 The Secret of the Fairyland

"A million years ago, a terrifying crack appeared in the central ancient land of Feixian Star. From time to time, wisps of immortal energy came out, which actually contained some immortal laws."

"Some people suspect that it is a crack in the fairyland, through which one can reach the legendary fairyland, which is the path to immortality passed down by the elders."

"There were elderly Supremes who tried to pass through that crack, but not only did they fail, they died inside. According to their last words, the other end seemed to be blocked by something."

“So some unwilling supreme beings established a restricted area with the ancient land in the center of Feixian Star as the core, and studied the crack inside, and named it Feixian Land.”

"In the years that followed, they consumed a large amount of divine objects to build a gate to the sky as support, and tried many methods in an attempt to completely open up that gap and enter the fairyland."

……

The old Taoist revealed all the secrets of the past one by one. He had lived for so long that he knew some of the secrets of all the forbidden areas.

Anyway, he is a dying man, and it is rare for an audience to appear, so he no longer cares about anything.

"So that's how it is. Has it already started at this time?" Chen Wu murmured to himself.

The path to immortality originally meant the path leading to the immortal realm, and there is more than one path.

The Desolate Emperor Shi Hao once erected monuments on the roads to immortality in various places, leaving behind warnings and some scriptures, hoping to inspire those who came after him. No one knows how many people have walked through those passages since ancient times.

The world has changed dramatically and eras have passed.

Even the fairyland was shattered, and most of the paths to immortality scattered across the world were abandoned, but some places still survived, such as the ancient central land of Feixian Star.

Now, when Chen Wu first heard that the Supreme Being of Feixian Land was digging a path to immortality, he was a little surprised, and he immediately thought of the future.

As far as I can remember, this path to becoming an immortal has always been sealed, except for the Emperor period at the end of the mythological era. It will not be opened until the post-ancient era. Only Laozi, Sakyamuni, and Ye Fan's wife and daughter became immortals through this path.

Could it be that this path to immortality was opened in the early days of the mythological era? Then why was it sealed later? Could it be related to the Emperor?
Chen Wu pondered in silence, as if thinking about something.

At this time, the old Taoist suddenly said, "These things happened so long ago that even many Supreme Beings don't know about them. I see that Taoist Yongjie is so calm. Could it be that the master of the Immortal Tomb has already told you?"

Chen Wu shook his head slightly.

"Not really. You are the first person who is willing to share these secrets."

The owner of the Immortal Tomb only told him about the immortal fetus in the Taichu Ancient Mine. As for the secret of the Feixian Land, it was the first time he heard about it.

Hearing this, the old Taoist stared at him for a few more times, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"You remain calm when you hear about the Immortal Path. Fellow Daoist Yongjie is worthy of being the peerless master of the Secret Realm Law. When I first learned about this, I was far from being as calm as you are. I am really ashamed."

Chen Wu said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. The road to becoming an immortal is ahead of us. Who can not be moved? However, I remember that fellow Daoist said before that several supreme beings here chose to leave. One went to the Immortal Tomb, one went to the Taichu Ancient Mine, and three went to the Feixian Land. Could it be that there has been progress there?"

"I'm not sure about that. I think so. I just know that they were planning to go to the Immortal Tomb, but suddenly changed their minds."

The old Taoist thought for a moment and then explained, "My life span is about to end, and those Taoist friends are not willing to explain the reason to me. In this life, Taoist friend Yongjie is here to protect the universe, so I can only stay here and wait for my death."

"If they come out to cause unrest, I will kill them. You can also try to go to other restricted areas, maybe there are ways to prolong your life."

Chen Wu looked up at the ancient sacred Fusang tree. The elixir of immortality also felt something and swayed gently, shedding a brilliant holy light that shone on him.

There are also gaps between the restricted areas.

Forbidden areas such as the Immortal Tomb, the Flying Immortal Land, and the Taichu Ancient Mine contain relics of immortals, which can attract more supreme beings to explore immortality.

In comparison, the Eye of the North Sea on Ziwei Star is a little worse. The supreme being here can only rely on self-sealing to delay the passing of lifespan and passively wait for the emergence of the path to immortality.

Watching others research the path to immortality, and perhaps even making a breakthrough, was a very uncomfortable feeling. Therefore, it was normal for them to choose to leave.

It was a little surprising that the old Taoist priest chose to stay and wait for death.

Looking at Chen Wu, whose black hair was like a waterfall and whose skin was crystal clear, and who was still on the uphill road of life, the old Taoist sighed:

"I am just a dying man. Nothing in the world can extend my life. In fact, I have never been optimistic about the attempts of the people in Feixiandi. That should not be the real path to immortality. As for the immortal corpses and immortal tools, they are all external objects and are useless for the path to longevity. It seems that I will not be able to wait until the real path to immortality appears."

Chen Wu glanced at the old Taoist priest. In fact, he was wrong. The road to immortality on Feixian Star was real and could lead to the fairyland.

However, it is not an easy journey, and the number of people who can become immortals in one lifetime is limited.

The laws of the nine heavens and ten earths are simply impossible to pass. They must undergo "baptism" to be transformed and reorganized in order to supplement the divine traces of the laws of the fairyland.

The weaker a person is, the easier this step is and there are almost no obstacles.

On the contrary, the supreme beings who are at the pinnacle of the human realm will encounter more hardships. Their own Dao marks are too strong and will not be easily erased. To get through them, they can only cut off the foundation of the extreme Dao.

This is the case without interference from others. If several people try to fight for it at the same time, they will just be stuck there, unable to move forward or backward.

……

The old Taoist seemed to have noticed something and asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Yongjie is also not optimistic about the path to immortality in Feixiandi?"

"I have always believed in a saying: the path that generations of people have taken to become immortals is the path to immortality." Chen Wu said calmly.
"The path that generations have taken to become immortals is the path to immortality..." He repeated it involuntarily, deeply moved.

"Fellow Daoist Yongjie is so talented that I am ashamed to be inferior to him."

Chen Wu explained: "This is not the first time I have proposed this, let's share it with fellow Taoists."

In fact, these are the words of the ruthless man. They are the definition and understanding of becoming an immortal by this supreme empress. Chen Wu just quoted them once, and he admired and agreed with them very much.

Compared to the path to immortality created by the cracks in the fairyland, becoming an immortal in the mortal world is his goal.

As long as one is strong enough, even if it is not the right time or the right place, one can break through the barrier and enter the strange world between the fairyland and the universe, where there is a small amount of immortal matter.

By gathering the power of three mortal immortals and having the correct coordinates, you can forcibly open the fairyland. This is the most correct way.

"I have met Daoist Fellow Yongjie today, and I have gained a lot of feelings. If I could have met Daoist Fellow Yongjie earlier, maybe there would have been a different ending."

The old Taoist suddenly smiled, with a look of relief in his eyes.
"I have lived for millions of years in vain. Although I have not become an immortal, I still have some understanding of the way of longevity. I would like to discuss it with you and hope that it will bring you some inspiration."

"good!"

……

The monks from Ziwei Star finally discovered the abnormality in the North Sea.

The raging black ocean had quietly calmed down, and the sea surface was calm, like a black mirror, and there was no risk of capsizing when sailing on it.

"There seems to be a great fortune in the North Sea!"

The news spread like wildfire and even reached nearby star regions.

The Ziwei Star was shaken by this, and countless cultivators came here intending to seize the good fortune.

And deep in the North Sea, there is an island.

The whole island is filled with mist and smoke, and is shrouded in a mysterious hue.

Under the ancient sacred Fusang tree, Chen Wu and the old Taoist priest sat on the ground.

Three months passed, and the old Taoist priest expounded all his insights, and now he has finally come to an end.

"I had planned to endure for a few more years. The longer I live, the better. Now that you are here, there is no need to waste this little time."

The old Taoist smiled, and his body began to slowly disintegrate into a brilliant rain of light.

The Supreme Transformation of the Dao was so great that even the heaven and earth were aware of it, and the mournful cry of the Dao was heard in the darkness.

"This life has come to an end. There is no need for heaven and earth to send you off. I have already composed a funeral song. I will play it for you one last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a divine fire suddenly ignited on the old Taoist priest's body. At the same time, celestial music sounded, which seemed to come from his soul, making people feel a little unbelievable.

"The hope of becoming an immortal depends on the practice of fellow Taoists."

The old Taoist laughed loudly in the firelight, countless brilliant points of light rose up, and then slowly melted into the sky and earth.

Every burning is a sad song of life, rising once, blooming once, blazing once, and destroying once.

The ancient sacred Fusang tree was also rustling, shaking off a blanket of golden light, as if it was wailing.

When the divine fire was extinguished and the smoke disappeared, the old Taoist priest also completely turned into dust, and did not leave behind his Taoist name until his death.

Chen Wu was silent for a long time, then he let out a sigh.

……

"I'll lend you a branch without damaging the source. I have my own use for it."

Chen Wu is having a conversation with this immortal medicine.

"Qiang!"

The ancient sacred Fusang tree shook, and a golden branch about ten feet long fell down. It was covered with golden leaves, so gorgeous that it was a little dazzling.

Along with it, there was also a faint spiritual fluctuation.

"You want to come with me?"

Chen Wu was filled with emotion. This was the first immortality medicine that took the initiative to follow him.

"Well, wait till I finish one thing first, then come with me."

The old Taoist's insights into longevity inspired him a lot. Chen Wu decided to refine the branch of the Fusang sacred tree and use it to nourish the two seeds in the wheel sea.
