Chapter 230 The Other Side of the Starry Sky, The Undying Emperor

Liang Yue's physical body flew back to the sky above the meteorite.

Summon the cloud chariot and enter the grotto.

Inside the cave, towering trees reach for the sky, majestic and imposing.

This is the Bodhi tree, which has long been integrated with the grotto. As the Bodhi tree grows, the area of ​​the grotto will also increase.

After more than a thousand years of development, Baiyun Dixiang now covers an area of ​​approximately 10,000 square kilometers.

Inside the cave, a pyramid stands atop it, and not far away is the Jade Pool. This time, Liang Yue took the Jade Pool with him.

Liang Yue entered the pyramid.

"No, we should refine the innate peach tree first."

Liang Yue suddenly woke up.

This thing is rooted in heaven and earth and cannot be taken away. If I go there and can't come back, wouldn't this star field return to its original state?

With that thought in mind, Liang Yue returned to the area below Jupiter.

The naturally formed peach tree was not large, only about half a person's height, and resembled a jade carving.

It contains profound and mysterious essence.

Liang Yue took a deep breath and took out the Golden Elixir and a thought.

Refining it with divine sense, occasionally adding a drop of essence blood to aid the process.

Finally, he practiced to the point where he could sense things from a distance using his divine sense.

"So simple?" Liang Yue was taken aback. Could it be that he possessed the bloodline of the Sun and Moon Feathered People?
"Hating the Queen Mother of the West, yet becoming the Queen Mother of the West herself, it seems that the one who understands you best is still your enemy."

Liang Yue was both amused and exasperated.

Of course, the Queen Mother of the West was unaware that she was their enemy.

Liang Yue calmed down and sensed the condition of the peach tree.

It contains a trace of incredibly pure vitality.

"The legend says that eating a peach can increase one's lifespan by 500 years, and it seems to be true."

This is not the era for the growth of peach trees; it is estimated that spiritual energy will revive two hundred years from now.

"However, there seems to be no way to wake up early."

Liang Yue had a headache.

He reached the end of his lifespan in 2227 and underwent a complete physical transformation; in 2234, his spiritual energy revived.

If they absorb the life force from the peach tree branches, they might live for several more decades.

But in this life, I still have to undergo tribulation.

Liang Yue's current goal is to survive the tribulation and live to be three hundred years old.

He broke off a branch and returned to the meteorite.

"almost."

Liang Yue first moved the pyramid to the outside world.

Holding the golden elixir and his thoughts, he channeled energy and inscribed a restriction.

boom! !

The restriction was established in an instant.

The pyramids emitted towering beams of pure gold light.

Liang Yue floated in the void, his figure slowly fading away.

Only the majestic pyramids remain in the original location.

The ancient teleportation array transcends the Three Realms and the Five Elements, and to some extent, possesses the ability to transcend the light cone.

As time passed, the meteorite was struck and shattered into pieces. One fragment escaped Jupiter's gravity and struck Mars.

Human civilization is still developing, and perhaps they do not know that the glory of technological civilization may only last for three hundred years.

On the other side, Liang Yue felt a sudden dizziness.

The surrounding environment transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors.

The teleportation array doesn't arrive instantly; instead, it involves traversing within the passageway.

Because there is no frame of reference, the time is unknown.

However, judging from the scale of the innate spirit silkworm, time passes very quickly.

Liang Yue simply took the sleeping elixir and fell into a deep sleep, half-awake and half-asleep.

Earth.

Decades after Liang Yue's departure.

A meteorite fell to Earth.

boom! ! !
Nuclear and electromagnetic weapons shattered giant meteorites in space.

The meteorite broke into countless fragments, entered the atmosphere, and left a dazzling trail of light.

At this moment, the world watched the magnificent meteor shower.

Zhao Hong, then head of the World Government's Science and Technology Department, looked up at the sky and muttered to himself:
"Immortal Master, did you see that? Humanity has resolved the crisis through its own strength."

After gazing at the moon for a long time, Zhao Hong turned back and gave instructions to his secretary.

"The immortal's social security is classified as a top secret. Don't forget to pay your annual dividends."

In recent years, with the deepening of federal development, Liang Yue's social security account balance has approached 100 billion.

In the near future, Liang Yue may become the first person in history to become the richest man by relying on his pension.

"Yes!"

……

The jade silkworm's markings have increased by thirty years.

That year, Liang Yue was 129 years old.

boom!
The colorful passageway suddenly collapsed, scattering into a sky full of stars.

Liang Yue paused, stepping onto the ground.

The surrounding temperature was scorching, and hundreds of suns of all sizes hung in the vast blue sky.

The land is even drier than the Gobi Desert in Northwest China.

At Liang Yue's feet was a small, weathered mound of earth.

Is anyone still here?

Liang Yue revealed his double pupils and divine eyes, capturing Earth from a thousand light-years away in the void.

"Huh? Why can't I find Earth?"

Could it be that I was mistaken back then?
This isn't a place a thousand light-years away, but a galaxy even more distant?

The hundreds of suns in the sky provide the world with extremely high temperatures, perhaps eliminating the conditions necessary for life to exist.

Looking at the mound of earth at his feet, Liang Yue had a sudden thought.

Dig up the mound of earth.

Sure enough, there was a pyramid underneath.

Several human skeletons are scattered around the pyramid.

Judging from their attire, they should be immortals from ancient times.

After searching the pile of corpses, Liang Yue found a relatively intact human body.

This person has long, flowing hair and a body as smooth as jade, and is remarkably lifelike.

A purple-gold gourd hung from his waist.

Liang Yue picked up the purple-gold gourd and probed into it with his divine sense.

In an instant, his face showed surprise, and he exclaimed, "Guang Chengzi?" At this moment, all doubts about the conspiracy, the wariness of Guang Chengzi, and the worries of the ancient human cultivators vanished.

Guang Chengzi is really dead.

There was no hidden agenda, no powerful figure manipulating the world. He simply fought fair and square against both immortals and demons, and died from exhaustion.

Liang Yue was so shocked that he was speechless.

Inside the purple-gold gourd are two treasures: a pair of black and white swords, shaped like the Tai Chi symbol, and a large seal, as green as jade, engraved with the inscription "Tian Tian" (meaning "Heaven Turns to Earth").

A secret manual recording strange methods and a piece of advice.

"My life has come to this, yet I have not been able to see the Emperor."

"This place is beyond the stars, at the end of the universe. On the day the spiritual energy revives, all the suns unite, and the earth revives."

As Liang Yue ascended into the sky, he saw that many similar stars were situated around this star, one of which was extremely large, tens of millions of times the size of Earth.

Nearby planets and even the sun revolve around it.

Because this star receives heat evenly, its environment is more severe.

According to Guang Chengzi, this is the other shore of stars, a place where all races gather and where a hundred schools of thought contend.

The star beneath our feet has quite a history; the pyramid is situated here because this star is actually formed from a primordial spiritual vein.

When Guang Chengzi arrived here, the environment was so harsh that he could not survive. He endured the hardship for a hundred years before dying from exhaustion.

Liang Yue landed and solemnly placed Guang Chengzi's corpse and the relatively intact corpses around him into the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Cave.

"Senior, the future is in my hands."

Liang Yue gazed at the vast emptiness, a world a million times larger than the Earth, a world he could never fully explore in eight lifetimes.

After that, Liang Yue settled here. Although the place was backward, it had abundant sunshine and moonlight, providing certain conditions for cultivation.

He built a stone temple, lived there, devoted himself to cultivation, and waited for the passing of deluded thoughts.

Liang Yue called this star the Pre-Heaven Star.

While in seclusion for spiritual practice, he would occasionally go out for a stroll to see if any life still existed.

There is still breathable air here, so perhaps people do live here.

……

The primordial star is located deep in a valley among the mountains.

A raging fire burned in the valley, and at the edge of the flames, there was a willow tree whose shade could cover dozens of miles.

The trees provide cool shade, beneath which lie stone houses inhabited by a robust race that wears leaves as clothing, uses tree sap as water, and feeds on fire.

"Aaaaaah! I can't take it anymore!!"

Suddenly, inside one of the stone houses, a strong man, unable to bear the intense heat, angrily threw himself into the fire and was instantly reduced to ashes.

A young man with a rugged appearance, dressed in linen clothes, walked out of the largest stone house.

The young man's eyes were filled with grief and indignation, yet also a hint of numbness. He stared at the banyan tree, its branches and leaves gradually turning yellow, and murmured to himself:

"Is the death of the Banyan God a sign of the destruction of the Zhurong tribe?"

The tribe relied on the banyan tree for shade and water.

Now that the banyan tree is about to wither, this family has finally come to an end.

as time flows.

Some people couldn't handle the pressure; some went insane, and some committed suicide.

In just over ten days, more than 130 people committed suicide.

A tribe of over a thousand people is on the verge of extinction.

On this day, the young clan chief led everyone to collect tree sap. They cut a piece of the banyan tree trunk, and this time there was even less sap.

There wasn't even half a bowl, not enough for one person, let alone to supply the entire tribe.

"Is it finally over?"

The young clan chief muttered to himself, not in alarm, but in relief.

The world was too hopeless, and he was ready to face death calmly.

Wow!
The flames grew even more intense.

"Look!!"

At this moment, the clansmen cried out in alarm.

Then, a person slowly emerged from the flames.

Clad in white robes and a black crown, impervious to flames, with purple eyes that gleamed with a mysterious light.

"You...who are you?" The young clan leader was shocked.

Could he be an emperor from the myths and legends of our ancestors?

Some clansmen knelt down and kowtowed.

“There really is someone.” Liang Yue’s gaze was fixed on the banyan tree.

This banyan tree is no ordinary tree; it must be the corpse of an ancient tree spirit.

He wanted to refine this tree.

The humans around here are quite interesting. Perhaps due to the harsh environment, their physical strength is a hundred times that of those on Earth.

The young clan chief cautiously inquired, "My lord, have you come to save us?"

Liang Yue's soul automatically sensed the meaning of the person's words and instantly learned the language.

"In this degenerate age, you can only rely on yourselves; I have come down here to take this tree away."

The clan chief looked desperate, thinking it best to be free sooner rather than later, as their clan had suffered too much.

Liang Yue changed the subject, saying, "However, I have a way to ensure the continuation of your clan. What is your name?"

"Zhu Huo, Chief of the Zhu Rong Clan." The young chief led everyone to kneel down.

"The Zhurong tribe is willing to serve the immortal as their master, and only asks the immortal to lend a helping hand."

"Get up."

Liang Yue walked up to the tree trunk, with Zhu Huo following closely behind.

Since they wanted to refine the banyan tree that others depended on for survival, Liang Yue felt it was necessary to lend a hand.

Baiyun Dixiang is its own private territory; too many people here will disrupt its internal energy structure.

"The great calamity is inevitable, and everyone will have to endure it. I have a way to put everyone to sleep and let them pass through the calamity in their dreams."

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Huo said, "An illusion? That's fine too."

“Immortal Master, we are willing.”

"it is good."

Soon, Zhu Huo summoned all his people to the tree.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liang Yue revealed his true form.

A golden body ten feet tall, surrounded by wind and thunder.

A plum blossom pattern flashed briefly within her purple eyes.

In an instant, everyone was immersed in a beautiful, illusory dream.

Next, Liang Yue refined the banyan tree. As his essence was injected, the banyan tree revived, and its tendrils bound more than a thousand people together, while also injecting its sap.

These people will remain in a deep sleep for extended periods, only waking up occasionally to live their lives.

The Zhurong tribe was able to grow stronger.

They called this dream "Taiyi Illusion Dream".

Liang Yue became the deity they worshipped.

"May the immortal emperor protect our race for thousands of years, and may our incense still burn brightly in his honor."
