Covering the Heavens: Starting from the First Great Emperor

Chapter 16 Aim for the Top
However, there is only the lower half of the "Immortal Sutra" in the Yunxian Ridge. Shi Hao obtained the upper half after he and He Wushuang died together in the ultimate trial ground.

At that time, Shi Hao's laws were not perfected, and it was only after he was used as a bargaining chip and traded to a foreign land that he was able to make up for it and improve himself.

Xu Yuanming wanted to obtain the complete Immortal Sutra, but after Shi Hao got it, the mountain collapsed, the Immortal Sutra was learned by someone, and the eternal text also disappeared.

However, he was already satisfied to get the next part of the "Immortal Sutra".

The moment Xu Yuanming recognized the handwriting inside, the words on the stone slab began to emit a chaotic light. Each word was extremely heavy, like the mother energy of all things, able to crush the world.

In order to avoid causing too much impact, Xu Yuanming entered his own Purple Qi Hunyuan Gourd and began to study it.

His physical body has always been his weakness. If an extremely powerful emperor who is famous for his physical body gets close to Xu Yuanming, it will be very troublesome. He has no means to deal with the other party.

And the second part of the "Immortal Sutra" can just solve his current worries.

Half a month passed, and Xu Yuanming slowly opened his eyes. His body was still the same as before, like an ordinary person, without any change.

But only he himself knows how great this improvement is.

However, Xu Yuanming did not completely copy this supreme scripture as the fundamental law, and gave up on condensing the "immortal body" that everyone wanted for countless times. Instead, he began to integrate the second part of this immortal scripture with his own avenue.

In Xu Yuanming's view, the so-called "immortal body" is nothing more than a method of limiting oneself, and can only be a shackle on one's future.

If people from the ancient times of immortality and chaos knew about this, they would probably go crazy. The things they dreamed of getting were actually despised at this moment.

Xu Yuanming felt that his strength had reached its peak, and there was a towering mountain ahead.

There is no shortcut on the narrow path. To the peak are the footsteps of predecessors. Only one person has climbed over the mountain that is higher than the sky.

He slowly stood up. Now there were two paths standing in front of him, one was to become a mortal immortal, and the other was to become a combat immortal.

Shi Hao failed in his third life in the mortal world, but in the years that followed, Xu Yuanming believed that he could become a war immortal. After all, his strength was so great that even true immortals in later generations would have to avoid him.

In the years that followed, the Fighting Saint Emperor transformed into a fighting immortal but was eventually ambushed by the Immortal Emperor and died in vain.

But this is not a dead end. Since this path has been passed down, it is impossible for it to fail.

If there really isn't one, he can set a precedent.

Xu Yuanming didn’t know whether he could succeed, but if he was unwilling to even try, how could he possibly reach the top?
He wanted to reach the pinnacle of his life in the mortal world, and then go through nine lifetimes to reach an incredible realm, a realm where he could see no ancients in front of him and only one person behind him.

"The pinnacle of immortality!"

This realm is the peak that neither Shi Hao nor Ye Fan has ever reached.

Chu Feng, who only possessed the Double Dao Fruit, succeeded in proving his Dao in the Absolute Spirit Era, which was even more difficult than the Dharma Ending Era. In that realm, one could possess combat power comparable to that of an Immortal King, and could even defeat him in battle.

However, this road is very difficult. In addition to resisting the test of God, Xu Yuanming also has to face those existences in the forbidden zone of life.

Although most of the supreme beings there are very weak, they all practice the chaotic ancient method, which is no longer in line with the heaven and earth. In addition, the difference in the supreme realm of this method is huge. The strong ones are like Shi Hao, the weaker ones are like Meng Tianzheng and Wang Changsheng, but the lower limit is like the old woman of the Jin family.

The gap in strength is huge. Anyone who can prove his truth in this era can kill the old woman from the Jin family in seconds.

The supreme beings lurking in the Life Forbidden Zone weren't much stronger than her, but there were exceptions. Every forbidden zone had a presence that Xu Yuanming feared to some degree. The Supreme Yuanfeng and the being deep within Chaos Island were examples of this. Their cultivation was subtly above the Supreme realm, almost reaching the level of an Immortal.

But these are not guaranteed. Xu Yuanming cannot guarantee the existence of some deeply hidden creatures that were knocked down from the ranks of true immortals in the past and have now turned into "residual immortals".

If those creatures were to appear when he was undergoing the tribulation, it would be extremely difficult for him, and he might even risk death.

And there might be a family like the Xu family that has retained the supreme spiritual treasures of the past. If Wang Changsheng's shadow at that time was holding the Immortal King's shroud, he would have died without a doubt.

Xu Yuanming did not care about the obvious forbidden zones of life. These were all things he knew, but the things hidden in the dark were dangerous.

In later generations, people of all generations have been guarding against the ancient supreme being in the forbidden zone of life, but in the dark there are also Xiaoyao Tianzun and Immortal Emperor, and in the darker side there is the Emperor.

……

……

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Yuanming settled down in this holy city of the human race.

No one knows where this person came from, but as generations passed, his appearance had not changed at all, and he still looked to be around twenty years old.

No one cared about him. In this era, there were more and more human cultivators. They just thought that this young man with some talent was not enterprising and wasted such a good talent.

Some people tried to persuade him during this period, but Xu Yuanming always sent them away with a smile.

His mentality began to change. The cold road that had accompanied him for many years made him more taciturn and more determined on his own path.

However, Xu Yuanming chose another path and completely suppressed his cultivation.

Starting from the peak of the extreme path, he slowly got lower and lower, from the immortal platform to the dragon... In the end, in the eyes of others, he was just a cultivator in the sea of ​​suffering.

Xu Yuanming no longer pursued visions. In his sea of ​​suffering, there was a vast ocean of pure blue. The white clouds in the sky seemed to be connected to the earth, stretching as far as the eye could see, just like a real ocean.

He once condensed many visions, but in the end they all dispersed, and the vast sea of ​​suffering was reduced to nothing but blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear water.

It's different. I've never heard of anyone experiencing such a warm and spring-like sea of ​​suffering. Everything is so primitive, as if all living things were conceived in the most ancient times.

To others, this is extremely ridiculous. All human chakras are magical and have infinite power.

There are strange phenomena such as golden lotus growing in the sea of ​​suffering, the Immortal King descending to the Ninth Heaven, stars shining in the blue sky, and a bright moon appearing on the sea...

But Xu Yuanming was very happy about this because this was exactly what he wanted.

Open the sea of ​​suffering, let the spring of life gush out, build the divine bridge, and reach the other shore.

In this world, there is no sea of ​​suffering. The springs of life are scattered throughout the world. The divine bridge is everywhere, and the other shore is at my feet.

Where I stand is the other shore, and I myself am the origin of everything.
