The First Emperor of Ancient Times

Chapter 51: Finding Your Own Way to Become an Immortal
The third stage of the Immortal Dao is a major hurdle on the road of cultivation.

Lin Bai even commented that this level is comparable to enlightenment.

Throughout history, many practitioners have fallen here.

Looking back on the past, when Lin Bai first practiced the Way of Killing, he cut off part of his memories and past, and also cut out a man-eating Cangwu Road, which finally led to the sky.

But Lin Bai didn't expect that this time he reincarnated and cultivated again, he would get stuck here.

Deep in the endless underworld, Lin Bai sat on a balcony on an unknown mountain, stroking his pale hair, pouring himself a glass of fine wine, feeling filled with emotion.

"Isn't it too boring to drink alone?" With a light laugh, Nuwa walked up step by step, sat opposite Lin Bai, and poured herself a glass of wine.

Now, in this vast underworld, only the two of them can communicate with each other and express their emotions.

"I didn't expect that after you finished looking at the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Poles, and Transformation Dragon, you would stop at the level of the Three Immortal Slashing Path."

"It's a joke, isn't it?"

Nuwa's pretty eyes curved up and she said mischievously.

"Will they die? Like those ordinary cultivators who can never achieve the Great Dao in their entire lives?"

Lin Bai shook his head and smiled faintly: "No, I have a backup plan."

"Perhaps your constant back-up plans are the reason why you failed to transform into a chaotic body and are now unable to cut out the great way." Nuwa's light words shocked Lin Bai's heart.

Holding up the wine glass, Nuwa looked sideways at the pale moonlight above the underworld. It used to be red, but Fuxi thought it was ugly, so he changed the color.

Now the moon is there, but Fuxi is asleep.

Nuwa looked at the human underworld personnel who were working in an orderly manner outside the underworld. Among them were descendants of the Moon and the Sun, the powerful Bull Demon Clan who were loyal to the Lord of Morality, and even some people from the Aolai Kingdom, as well as the Hegemonic Blood and the Holy Blood.

But there was no one who could communicate with her on an equal footing in the next ten thousand years.

"I'm about to go into seclusion for training, and I don't want to be without anyone to chat with when I come out."

"So, Cangwu, I want to tell you about my perspective on you."

Nuwa said softly, "You are too entangled. Your subconscious mind tells you to take the right path, so this time you choose to take one step at a time to see the scenery of each realm."

"But your rationality leaves you with countless backup plans, preventing you from moving forward with a steadfast and decisive attitude."

Eating abortion is a path that grows very fast, but this path is defined as an evil path.

Lin Bai himself knows it.

Just like the ruthless guy in the original novel, who almost died during the transformation, the weird clan in the Holy Ruins, they are very rebellious, but when they started to eat people, their growth became slower and slower.

What is the right path for the Shrouding Heaven sect? Is it the creation of the Desolate Emperor, is it Ye Fan's invincible heart relying solely on himself, or even An Lan's shocking words: Even if I have to bear the abyss of heaven and support the original imperial city with one hand, I, An Lan, will still be invincible in the world.

Lin Bai sighed slightly and offered a glass of wine to Nuwa: "Thank you for your guidance."

He already understood that the crisis he faced this time came from the conflict between his reason and subconsciousness.

In other words, he requires the unity of knowledge and action.

Later, Nuwa told Lin Bai another story.

"Invite me to create a law together? Write your Great Emperor Scripture?"

Nuwa nodded slightly. Yes, that's right. Every great emperor and ancient king has his own scripture, and she needs to write it too.

However, she does not plan to create it alone. She plans to learn from Ming Zun of the past and collaborate with others to write it.

The person they joined forces with was Lin Bai, the former Chaos Body, the Cangwu Emperor who had created countless great methods and physiques for the human race.

After being stunned, Lin Bai readily agreed. He had plenty of life left and was not afraid of wasting time.

Especially now that he has cut off his own origin, he can use many methods to prolong his life again.

Except for the elixir of immortality, that thing really recognizes people.

Nuwa's avenue is the avenue of life, and has a similar process to Lin Bai's Cangwu Dao. Both have their own unique effects on strengthening the origin, but one is plundering and the other is health preservation.

This is also the reason why Nuwa asked Lin Bai to create a law together.

The two of them were looking for the scriptures left behind by Changsheng Tianzun when he was in the underworld, and then they got the scriptures of Emperor from the Chengxian Ding spirit, who was brought back from the depths of the underworld by Lin Bai and had been eating and taking resources here.

Later, when Lin Bai was writing scriptures and creating a method, he made a suggestion to imitate the way the Holy Body rebuilt the five secret realms to create a secret technique and also rebuild the five secret realms.

After thinking about it, Nuwa also chose to agree. As a person who majored in the Avenue of Life, she knew too well the importance of strengthening her own origin.

The origin guarantees the minimum combat effectiveness of your body.

The reason why Lin Bai was able to grow his strength quietly in his first life, and finally kill Huashe, Yanluo, Zhenyu, and have a head-on fight with the Immortal Emperor, was because Cangwu Jue kept improving his origin and strengthened it after restoring the origin of chaos.

It is very difficult to imitate the Holy Body and cultivate the five secret realms again. During the creation of this secret technique, the body of Empress Nuwa was shattered three times. Finally, the two of them referred to the complete Heavenly Scripture of Tribulation left by Cao Jin to complete this secret technique called "Body Refining".

Now that they have "refined the body", Lin Bai and Nuwa think they should also try "refining the spirit".

After coming up with a name, the two began to reverse-deduce the secret technique.

"Refining the spirit" is mainly about strengthening the primordial spirit.

The emperor-level soul is already the limit of this universe, and it will be very difficult to strengthen it again.

Nuwa and Lin Bai looked through various ancient scriptures, looking for the experience of their predecessors, and found four or five ways of strengthening their abilities.

The possession of body by Xiaoyao Tianzun, the cleansing of Dujie Tianzun, the nirvana of the Immortal Emperor, the transformation of the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm, the reincarnation and reconstruction of the Emperor, and a common and extremely dangerous dream that lasts for eternity.

Of course, in addition to these, Lin Bai also knew about the transformation of the body and soul of the ruthless emperor. In the last few lives, the emperor's body and soul became one, and Ye Fan lived life after life.

Theoretically speaking, Ye Fan's is the strongest and also the most difficult to walk.

Every transformation that Ye Fan undergoes on that path will make his soul and body stronger.

Nuwa and Lin Bai finally summed up various methods and chose a method of "leading" and "refining the spirit".

Strengthen the five secret realms of the human body, then use the essence of the body to strengthen the immortal platform, and finally drive the development of the soul, and create immortal weapons, and use the immortal weapons connected to your own avenue to feed back to yourself and strengthen the soul.

Finally, the "refining of spirit" and "refining of body" created by Lin Bai and Nuwa are interconnected.

No matter whether the soul or the body is stronger, it can drive the other.

These are also the two most powerful auxiliary secret techniques in the Creation Sutra written by the two of them.

This research gave Lin Bai a deep impression, especially when Nuwa used "body refining" twice to temper her five secret realms, strengthen her origin, and increase her lifespan by two thousand years, Lin Bai seemed to understand something.

If one cultivates the same secret realm individually and reaches the stage of achieving enlightenment in another way, or even becoming an emperor, and then the five secret realms merge into one, can one directly become an immortal?
