The God of Heavens

Chapter 209 The Immortal Phoenix Elixir

The interior of Zishan is vast, forming its own little world; the area he had traversed in the past was merely a corner of it.

Next, Black King volunteered to lead the way, venturing deep into an ancient cave and arriving at another open area.

"There's the sound of water ahead."

Following an ancient path paved with green jade, and climbing the steps, you arrive at an ancient site with the remains of pavilions, as well as withered old vines and ancient trees.

The water shimmered, and ahead lay a pool, carved from jade, which had become a body of water with white mist rising from it.

"This celestial pool was once the bathing place of the Great Emperor. Would you like to go down and test the water?" the big black dog asked.

"This water is special; it can help accelerate the circulation of blood throughout the body and improve the speed of cultivation."

Without wasting words, Lin Yu kicked the dead dog into the spring and suppressed its divine power.

"How does this divine spring taste?" Looking at the Black Emperor splashing around in the pool, he smiled and patted the shiny dog's head before stepping forward to ask.

"Glug glug!" The big black dog splashed around in the water for a while, drinking several large mouthfuls. It's unclear whether it thanked Lin Yu or not, but it started cursing as soon as it got ashore.

They continued onward, and as they passed through an area strewn with rocks, Lin Yu suddenly stopped. His gaze locked onto several seemingly ordinary boulders, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

“This is…” Lin Yu carefully examined the faint patterns on the stone surface, “the traces of a seal left by Master Yuan.”

Soon, he discovered a peculiar cave among the rubble. This black hole, no bigger than a human head, resembled a deep eye, leading into the depths of the earth. Occasionally, colorful mist rose from it, giving one a sense of comfort.

"The Eye of Creation!" Lin Yu suddenly realized, "So this is where the Heavenly Emperor's son was conceived."

The two sons of the Immortal Emperor. The Crown Prince chose the wrong path and was not favored by his father. However, he only used one Eye of Creation and his talent was so high that he could overpower Ye Fan and the Holy Prince. In the end, he was defeated because of his lack of willpower.

His second son was even more extraordinary, using five Creation Source Eyes, and in just a few decades, he traversed the universe, constantly breaking records of his peers and competing with Ye Yishui.

It should be noted that he was merely the son of the Immortal Emperor in his early years, while Ye Yishui not only possessed the innate sacred body and Dao embryo, but was also the son of Ye Fan, who was five generations removed, and whose Creation Source Eye had heaven-defying effects.

"Unfortunately, this eye of creation has dried up, and all its essence has been absorbed."

But then he thought about it again. Now that the Emperor's son was in his hands, it was practically the same as him using the Eye of Creation.

Lin Yu casually put away the Eye of Creation. This divine object could connect to the origin of the universe and refine the source of creation. It might also be able to communicate with the Immortal Realm. He could consider refining it into an Immortal Well to draw in immortal energy.

After passing through the deep passageway, the view suddenly opened up before me.

This is a magnificent square, but it is actually a stone palace. It is imposing and looks up. The domed rock wall looks like a big bell.

"The Beginning Bell!"

Lin Yu revisited the place, and at this moment, the Boundless Emperor Jade in his arms suddenly emitted a shimmering immortal light, pointing towards the depths of the stone hall. A huge stone scripture stood silently, carved entirely from chaotic stone essence, exuding the aura of time.

Lin Yu had been to this place before, so he naturally knew about this stone scripture. It couldn't be opened without collecting all the Emperor Jade.

Black Emperor strolled over to the stone scripture, raised his paw and patted the heavy book, his tone laced with arrogance: "Boy, even if you gather all the Boundless Jade, it will be in vain to open this ancient scripture. The Boundless Emperor once said that only those with a primordial holy body and Dao embryo can cultivate this scripture."

Lin Yu chuckled upon hearing this: "Of course I know."

He gazed calmly at the supreme scripture that countless cultivators dreamed of, his heart undisturbed.

Leaving aside the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique he cultivates, the simultaneous cultivation of Yin and Yang is already enough to satisfy his needs. If Ye Fan were to choose now, he probably wouldn't covet this ancient scripture anymore.

They continued on their journey and encountered the corpses of many of the Immortal Emperor's subordinates. They had passed away peacefully over time, and even in death, they had no place to be buried, which was very pitiful.

Lin Yu then took pity on them and brought them to safety. At that time, there was also an old man with nine heads, a dragon, a lion, a human, and a phoenix standing side by side, who wanted to join them. Lin Yu couldn't refuse him, so he had no choice but to let them be reunited.

Deep within Purple Mountain, the scenery becomes increasingly mystical. Orchids and other magical herbs grow in abundance, dragon grass exudes auspiciousness, and Taoist charm flows among the cliffs, with purple mist rising, creating an atmosphere that is both peaceful and mysterious.

At the end of the path, a majestic platform stands before you.

Dragon grass swayed all around, divine orchids bloomed, and chaotic energy descended from above like a waterfall, heavy as a thousand pounds, as if it would crush the ancient sky.

This place is extremely special and mysterious, as if it connects the past, present, and future, and is linked to all worlds.

In a daze, a hazy figure appeared on the platform, its back to all living beings, sitting cross-legged like a god, suppressing all ages.

"Emperor!"

Black Emperor trembled all over and couldn't help but shout out.

Its large, bell-like eyes glistened with tears, and its front paws unconsciously reached forward. However, the phantom vanished in an instant, like a fleeting dream, leaving only the chaotic energy still swirling above the platform.

Lin Yu looked at the Black Emperor, who was lost in thought, and then opened the treasure bottle. Inside the bottle lay a snow-white, crystal-clear skull of a female saint, along with a crescent-shaped pendant.

He obtained the skull and pendant in the star field, and they came from a female saint who had a great relationship with the Great Emperor Wushi.

This female saint spent her life following in the footsteps of the Great Emperor Wushi, and passed away in the star field. Lin Yu once said that he would bring her to Purple Mountain, and now it is time to fulfill his promise.

"boom"

A massive waterfall of chaos cascades down, while the Dao Platform stands majestically, seemingly piercing through the nine heavens. The Dao patterns densely covering it recede like a tide upon sensing the relics of the female saint.

Lin Yu held the skull, white as jade, in his hand, the crescent-shaped jade pendant in his palm gleaming softly. He ascended the steps, and the chaotic mist parted automatically, as if to make way for the female saint.

At the summit of the Dao Platform, that majestic figure became increasingly clear, his black hair cascading down like a waterfall, his imperial bearing suppressing all ages. His posture, with his back to all living beings, solidified the eternal solitude that followed unparalleled invincibility.

"Ding--"

The moon gently touched his skull, and a lingering obsession that transcended time and space suddenly awakened. In the faint fluctuations of his mind, an image of a woman alone in the starry sky appeared.

She once wore a divine halo, worshipped by countless people; she once ventured alone into the frigid universe, following the traces of the Emperor; and she even turned into bones in a desolate star field, still clutching the jade pendant that witnessed her vow.

"I... just want to follow in your footsteps, even if I can only look up at you from behind for the rest of my life."

A faint spiritual imprint trembled slightly. The saintess had been gone for countless millennia, yet a trace of her imprint refused to fade away.

This obsession shook the Dao Platform, even causing the descending chaotic energy to pause.

The Black Emperor couldn't help but roar and howl in agony.

Lin Yu remained silent. Cultivators pursue immortality, but the end of immortality is like this.

Some climb to the summit, turning their backs to the masses and drinking alone in solitude; others burn their entire lives, just to get one step closer to the path of the emperor.

On the platform, the female saint's obsession and the emperor's illusory image faced each other across the void, one looking up until death, the other eternally turning her back on all living beings.

Having fulfilled the female saint's obsession, the Dao Platform returned to silence, and Lin Yu began his cultivation by absorbing the ancient chaotic energy.

His Yin-Yang transformation has reached a critical juncture, and this chaotic ancient energy is precisely the perfect aid for breaking through.

A wisp of chaotic energy is enough for an ordinary cultivator to refine a supreme treasure for the sect. But at this moment, the vast chaos is like a celestial river falling down, with thousands upon thousands of wisps cascading down like divine waterfalls, creating a misty and terrifying atmosphere.

Lin Yu accepted all comers without hesitation. His Eye of Authority opened, unleashing layers of light that drew in all the descending chaotic energy. "Rumble—"

The hellish furnace within his body churned wildly, emitting a deafening roar. Hundreds of thousands of particles awakened simultaneously, transforming into ancient behemoths that surged and roared through his bloodline.

"not enough!"

Lin Yu let out a low shout and formed a hand seal. Instantly, the entire Chaos Waterfall paused for a moment, and then poured down with even more ferocity.

Black Emperor stared in disbelief: "Has this kid gone mad? With so much chaotic energy, even a Great Sage would be crushed into mincemeat!"

However, Lin Yu's body was like a bottomless pit, devouring the massive amount of chaotic energy. The power of the giant elephant rose steadily, quickly reaching 1.8 million.

The primordial chaos contained a vast amount of innate Yin and Yang power, which Lin Yu absorbed into his body, transforming it into a seed of innate power. That Yin-Yang seed combined with the power of the Five Elements, and countless forces surged forth. The Yin and Yang energies intertwined like dragons and snakes, unleashing a powerful sound that seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth.

"The interplay of Yin and Yang, the combination of the Five Elements, the spirit is originally without form, using the false to cultivate the true..."

Lin Yu formed hand seals, his fingers flowing with mysterious patterns. With each seal, countless elemental spirits manifested in the void.

Space storm spirits howled and swirled, the five elemental spirits shone with dazzling light, and the yin and yang spirits intertwined like dragons and snakes.

These elemental spirits are not illusions, but innate spirituality nurtured in the chaotic energy. At this moment, Lin Yu is guiding them with a supreme secret technique, and they are all merging into his body.

"Crash-"

His meridians were expanding, his flesh and blood were reorganizing, and it was as if a new world had been opened up within his body, capable of accommodating more divine power.

The power level has exceeded two million.

"Two million two hundred thousand two million five hundred thousand."

The amount of ancient colossal power was increasing at an alarming rate, each particle shining like a star, exuding overwhelming pressure. Black Emperor had already retreated tens of thousands of feet away, his fur standing on end, his dog eyes filled with terror.

"Is this kid trying to burst Zishan Mountain?!"

Chaotic energy poured in continuously, and divine power continued to surge.

"Two million eight hundred thousand three million!"

When his divine power broke through the three million mark, Lin Yu's body suddenly trembled. At this moment, every inch of his flesh and blood was filled with divine radiance, and what flowed in his meridians was no longer ordinary primordial energy, but chaotic divine power that had been condensed to the extreme.

"call--"

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which transformed into a chaotic river that surged endlessly through the void. The moment he opened his eyes, a great sun rose in his left eye, a cold moon rose and fell in his right eye, and a chaotic blue lotus swayed gracefully behind him, exuding an aura that commanded the submission of all paths.

Black Emperor cautiously approached: "Is it...is it all over?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly, clenched his fist, and the surrounding void trembled instantly. The power of three million ancient giant elephants surged within his body, making him feel that he could shatter stars with a single punch.

"Not even close!"

With a low shout, the pores of his body opened wide, frantically absorbing the yin and yang power between heaven and earth. With each breath, the void shattered like a mirror, and streams of black and white dragon-shaped energy emerged from the cracks, continuously flowing into his body.

"Kacha kacha——"

A sickening squeezing sound came from within his body; the Yin and Yang power was already saturated, yet it continued to accumulate. Lin Yu's body began to swell, and dense Yin and Yang runes appeared on his skin, meandering and moving like dragons and snakes.

Black Emperor was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly: "This is insane! Is this kid trying to burst himself?"

"boom!"

Under the pressure of the powerful divine force, the Yin and Yang forces finally underwent a qualitative change. The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram within the body exploded, and a large amount of primordial energy surged out, all of which was poured into the divine force.

Suddenly, his divine power surged, as if he had transformed into a different form. With a slight movement, lifelike plants, birds, beasts, and even agile humanoid phantoms materialized out of thin air from the chaotic primordial energy. Though lacking a physical body, they possessed rudimentary intelligence and roamed joyfully through the void.

These phantoms are no longer fake, but real entities, possessing Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and are almost capable of creation.

"When Yin and Yang reach their extremes, creation begins to emerge." Lin Yu gazed at the pulsating spirit in his palm, his eyes gleaming with enlightenment. "However, it is still far from the true realm of creation."

Black Emperor's eyes widened, and he stammered, "This...how is this possible?! Even the ancient emperors..."

"In the end, it's just an ethereal spirit." Lin Yu shook his head and sighed softly. "To create real life, one would probably have to become an immortal."

He waved his hand to disperse the spiritual body, feeling the new power within his body. At this moment, the Yin-Yang divine power already contained a trace of the true meaning of creation. Although it was still very weak, it pointed the way for his future cultivation.

The Pure Land of the Gods is right before our eyes.

Suddenly, a delicate fragrance wafted over, making the two of them feel almost as if their souls were leaving their bodies, and their whole bodies felt relaxed and comfortable, as if they were about to ascend to heaven.

"This is."

Before the words were finished, a dazzling divine light pierced the void, and a divine bird with a body of pure red gold and glazed glass flapped its wings and flew past, its colorful feathers scattering specks of divine light. Wherever it passed, a refreshing fragrance filled the air, making people feel completely comfortable.

"It's here! Little Phoenix, don't run away!" The Black Emperor stood up excitedly, but then immediately lowered his voice: "Shh, don't disturb it."

That divine bird was none other than the legendary Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, which had once listened to the teachings of the Great Emperor Wushi. At this moment, it was like a mischievous sprite, flashing through the void before curiously returning to peek out from afar.

With a thought, Lin Yu conjured a phantom of the Hellish plane behind him. An aura of eternal and immortal destiny emanated from it, immediately attracting the attention of the divine medicine.

"Chirp!"

The Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality transformed into a streak of light and arrived in an instant, circling around Lin Yu. A hazy fluctuation of consciousness came: "What kind of aura is this?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly and fully opened the Hell Plane. The Enlightenment Tea Tree hopped out, its two main roots as flexible as human legs, and began to whisper with the Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine, occasionally glancing in Lin Yu's direction.

"This old tree has become a spirit?!" Black King Dog's mouth gaped open, drool almost dripping from its mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Yu went all out again.

Finally, persuaded by the Enlightenment Tea Tree and tempted by the divine blood, the Divine Phoenix Immortal Elixir let out a soft cry and gracefully landed on Lin Yu's shoulder, affectionately nuzzling his cheek.

"Would you be willing to travel with me?" Lin Yu said softly. "Right now, your soul is confused, and you can only travel in the form of a divine medicine. If you stay by my side, you may be able to find a way to restore your body."

The Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality was startled upon hearing this. As an elixir of immortality, it had merely drifted from one powerful being to another throughout its long history, ultimately being studied and living a muddled and aimless life. But the aura emanating from the person before it made it feel, for the first time, the possibility of transcendence.

Lin Yu carefully lifted the blood-red divine medicine and placed it on the Enlightenment Tea Tree. The Divine Phoenix Immortal Medicine shook its feathers and actually settled down peacefully.

Black King stared in disbelief: "You...you've already subdued him?!"

"Om-"

With a light tap of his fingertip, Lin Yu sent the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality and the Enlightenment Tea Tree into his inner world.

Beside the Immortal Spring, two immortal herbs echo each other, their life-giving essence intertwining to create countless phenomena within their inner world: clouds and mist rising, immortal radiance flowing, and countless rays of light falling.
