The God of Heavens

Chapter 394 If Emperor Wushi did not have the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, would there still be an Emperor Qing?

The Immortal Transformation Pool has clear, bright water, like a pool of fine wine. It is filled with auspicious clouds and mist, creating a dazzling and colorful spectacle.

At the summit of the giant mountain, Tianchi Lake, though not very large, gives one the illusion of a world unto itself. It is not like a pool of water, but rather a world full of spiritual energy, as if it contains the secrets of the origin of life.

"there's noise!"

A pool of jade-like liquid reflects the eternal blue sky, emitting the sound of surging tides, as if someone sits cross-legged in the void, recounting the great Dao that created the world.

The mist and clouds of the fairy pool flowed, displaying a variety of colors. A gentle breeze blew, and the water shimmered. The ripples were not very intense. In the distance, one could faintly hear the chanting of heaven and earth, as if the voices of eternity had been imprinted there.

"Is it because the supreme imperial weapons shattered here, and the Dao scriptures within them are echoing?"

Yao Xi made this guess because there have been ancient legends that more than one imperial weapon had been shattered here.

boom!
With a flick of her wrist, she stirred up a wave of water, brimming with life force so intense it felt unreal, sending shivers down one's spine.

Because this celestial pool, brimming with life essence to an extreme degree, showed no signs of life whatsoever.

The pool water was clear and bright, as pure as a sapphire, reflecting the sky in a captivating way, yet the reality was perplexing.

"This fairy lake is perfect, so perfect that there is not a single flaw. It can be said to be a place where true immortals descend. Why is that?"

Yao Xi was also confused at this moment.

The Immortal Pool is rich in life essence, a source of life, but it is too perfect, which is a case of things reaching their extreme and then reversing.

"Shall we go inside and explore?" Yao Xi asked.

"Hold on!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and grabbed a silver-winged yaksha from a great distance, then threw it into the Immortal Pool.

"what--"

The silver yaksha was terrified, and a crack suddenly appeared between its brows, which instantly spread throughout its body like a spider web.

The next moment, there was a loud "bang" and it turned into a white light and disappeared into the lake. The light sank all the way to the center of the lake and finally disappeared into the dark depths.

"Shallow water should be fine."

As he spoke, he stepped into the shallows, then suddenly his brow twitched slightly. He reached out and scooped up a ball of silvery light, which landed in his palm.

The object was warm to the touch, yet carried a hint of chilling coldness, and was about the size of a fist.

"It's actually the Silver Moon Divine Jade?!"

"This is sacred material that even saints use to forge weapons!" Yao Xi exclaimed.

Lin Yu's face remained calm as he casually put away the Silver Moon Divine Jade and continued his exploration.

wow-

With a splash, a piece of red jade leaped out of the water, larger than a human head, its entire body a vibrant, glistening red, its surface shimmering with brilliant rosy light.

"It is the Nine Heavens Crimson Jade King!"

"Another divine object that even ancient sages could hardly find!"

Yao Xi couldn't hide her excitement: "Could this really be a fairy pool?"

At the bottom of the Immortal Transformation Pool, divine light shone brightly, and rare divine materials such as Great Luo Silver Essence and Nine Heavens Divine Jade continuously emerged, as if the chaotic immortal land under the former Yao Guang Holy Land had been recreated.

Lin Yu became increasingly convinced that this place shared the same origin as the Chaos Immortal Land, and that the Great Emperor Wushi obtained the Chaos Immortal Essence from here to forge the Wushi Bell.

"Another piece of divine iron!"

Yao Xi busily moved through the Immortal Pool, collecting various divine materials as if gathering stars.

The joy of this treasure hunt made her eyes crinkle, and even her usually dignified demeanor gained a touch of girlish excitement.

Suddenly, Lin Yu's eyes narrowed, and he picked up a fist-sized piece of green copper from the bottom of the pool.

The copper block was covered in rust, but a small, lush lotus plant was rooted in it, its roots as clear as crystal, entwining the copper block.

"This is."

Yao Xi leaned closer for a closer look and suddenly realized, "It's made of the same material as your Green Cauldron?"

“That’s right, this is indeed one of the fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.” Lin Yu nodded.

This is a fragment of the Kunlun Immortal Ascension Cauldron. In the past, the Feathered God Dynasty only collected some fragments, not the complete set. He obtained another third of it in the Kunlun Immortal Land.

As the lotus leaves trembled slightly, he sensed a familiar imperial might, which was the contingency plan left behind by the Azure Emperor!
If that dragon's lair holy spirit were to emerge and slaughter, this blue lotus would transform into a killing emperor's will.

Of course, now that Lin Yu has turned the Holy Spirit into a divine brew, the Azure Emperor no longer needs to intervene.

"This saves the Azure Emperor a lot of trouble."

Lin Yu carefully put away the copper ingot, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he thought of the Demon Emperor in the Eastern Wilderness who was still evolving in the Desolate Tower.

Perhaps we should find Yan Ruyu; maybe we can use that to contact the Azure Emperor and persuade her ancestor to stop wasting her efforts.
"Follow me to the bottom of the Immortal Pool."

Lin Yu tapped his toes, and the entire giant mountain that supported the Immortal Transformation Pool sank with a roar.

As heaven and earth turned upside down, the sky above rapidly shrank, eventually turning into a tiny point of light the size of a well opening, before disappearing completely.

"Boom-"

With a dull thud, the mountain finally hit its bottom, and looking up at the sky, it was pitch black.

Yao Xi quickly calculated: "We've sunk about nine thousand miles."

Suddenly, a vast valley opened up before them, thousands of feet wide, shrouded in the aura of the earth's evil spirits.

The Immortal Transformation Pool at the mountaintop becomes the only source of light, illuminating the dark valley floor as if it were a dream.

“This isn’t underground,” Lin Yu’s gaze pierced through the illusion, “but rather another small world.”

A rich, celestial aura wafted over, with ethereal mists and spiritual energy, comparable to the fragrance of an elixir of immortality.

"The vital energy here is so rich."

Yao Xi took a deep breath and immediately felt her pores open up, and her lifespan slowly increasing.

"There's actually a place like this beneath the Immortal Transformation Pool."

Yao Xi followed Lin Yu inside, knowing his strength well; in the entire universe, there were few dangerous places that could trap him.

Since the trip was purely for leisure, she was naturally quite at ease.

“Do you know where this is?” she asked.

“Back then, a great emperor once retrieved a sacred object from the Immortal Transformation Pool and used it to forge an invincible imperial weapon. The outer shell that encased that sacred object was made of Chaos Stone, which is extremely rare in the world.”

"The Great Emperor Wushi?!"

Yao Xi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Lin Yu nodded and led her to the depths of the Immortal Transformation Pool, where the water was bottomless and shimmered with a dreamlike seven-colored glow.

Throughout history, countless powerful figures have perished within its walls.

"Follow me."

Lin Yu opened the chaotic light circle and, with Yao Xi in tow, leaped into it. The pool water parted automatically, revealing a path of light leading to the depths.

A faint light flickered in the depths of the Immortal Transformation Pool. Although they had already dived nine thousand miles below the surface, their vision remained unobstructed, and they could still see clearly. They continued to swim deeper, but after diving only a hundred feet, they saw corpses floating in the water, their faces contorted in a grotesque manner, exuding an indescribable terror.

"These are all people who came here to explore the mysteries in the past."

The corpses were dressed in old clothes from different years, reflecting styles from various ancient periods.

Further downstream, you can even see the remains of creatures that are different from humans. They look completely different from humans and seem to come from the ancient era of all races.

This shows that the Immortal Transformation Pool has existed for an extremely long time.

With a casual wave of his hand, Lin Yu purified all the ancient corpses. Wherever he walked, the Origin Heaven Divine Runes spread out continuously, already beginning to take shape.

Such untouched places are always first-come, first-served.

Lin Yu had long had an idea in his mind and had been looking for an opportunity to put it into practice. Now it seemed that this place was exactly what he wanted.

Deep within the Immortal Transformation Pool, the water becomes increasingly pure, the pool crystal clear, and it contains astonishing innate essence.

As they continued to descend, the water temperature rose to a point where it could instantly vaporize the refined gold. In the raging torrents, bursts of colorful, mysterious light occasionally shot out, each one powerful enough to severely injure a saint.

"arrive."

Lin Yu landed at the bottom of the pool with Yao Xi.

This place is actually a group of ruins hundreds of feet wide, with a huge stone gate standing in the center, on which are engraved the two characters "Immortal Abode", which have witnessed the vicissitudes of time.

A continuous stream of celestial essence was gushing out from the crack in the door, reflecting the entire bottom of the pool as if it were a celestial realm.

"The Immortal Abode is another node on the path to immortality."

"No wonder Wushi was able to discover the Chaos Stone here, and the Azure Emperor was born here."

Lin Yu understood; if this was an ancient path to immortality, then there was no doubt about it.

Streaks of mysterious light flashed, extremely dangerous, enough to tear apart even a saint.

However, this was of no importance to Lin Yu. He went straight forward, pushed open the stone door engraved with the words "Immortal Abode," and stepped steadily inside.

Afterward, they traveled dozens of miles and entered a gray, misty world.

What I see before me are broken mountains, cracked valleys, and dried-up riverbeds...

The surroundings were dark and desolate, with no signs of life.

Lin Yu quickly noticed that the ground was covered with broken array patterns, and extreme aura flowed around them. If one were to accidentally step on them, even a saint would be annihilated.

However, none of this mattered to Lin Yu. Before long, they arrived at a chaotic sea.

Lin Yu and his companion followed the path taken by their predecessors, proceeding amidst the surging chaos around them.

This passage is covered with intricate array patterns, containing the immense power that supports heaven and earth; it is unknown what kind of being left behind them.

Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared ahead.

Two marks floated in the chaos, one transforming into an ancient bell, the other appearing as a verdant lotus shadow, both exuding the aura of a great emperor that shook the ages!
"This is the Emperor's mark!"

Yao Xi exclaimed in surprise. Having frequently come into contact with supreme imperial weapons, she had already recognized this aura.

"The Great Emperor Wushi's bell was made from a sacred object dug out of the Immortal Transformation Pool. He really did come here!"

Lin Yu stared at the mark, lost in thought.

Back then, the Great Emperor Wushi obtained the Chaos Stone here to forge a bell, and the Azure Emperor was directly conceived here.

These two marks are the traces they left behind.

"Fortunately, Emperor Wushi still had the Divine Phoenix Elixir of Immortality, otherwise wouldn't Emperor Qing have been in dire straits?"

Lin Yu chuckled inwardly. This calamity was truly a blessing from heaven; otherwise, how could the Azure Emperor have had any chance?

"boom!"

His gaze pierced through the chaos, revealing a celestial aura flowing deep within, containing an aura that granted immortality.

It must have been back then that someone broke through the eternal barrier, allowing the aura of that world to surge in, and these celestial radiances were sealed within the chaos.

Over the long years, a wisp of water would occasionally overflow, creating the Immortal Transformation Pool, a sacred land that nurtures many treasures.

"Could this be the work of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor? Or some Heavenly Venerable?"

Lin Yu pondered. To be able to break through the barrier of the Immortal Realm, this person was undoubtedly extremely powerful, surpassing ordinary experts of the Imperial Path.

Of course, the past is the past, and he has no intention of dwelling on it now, instead turning his gaze to his surroundings.

Over countless years, the immortal path here has been submerged by chaos, becoming incredibly thick and separating the immortal realm from the mortal world.

"The immortal path here has been submerged by chaos; perhaps only the ancient emperors could have carved it out."

As Yao Xi spoke, she summoned a celestial palace and used her half-saint cultivation to bombard the chaos with all her might, but to no avail.

"No problem! I have my own methods!"

As Lin Yu spoke, an ancient and imposing Dao sword appeared in his hand, which he slashed at the Chaos Sea.

A chaotic sword beam shot into the sky, instantly cleaving the heavens!

As soon as the sword was drawn, the entire universe seemed to dim and lose its brilliance, with only this chaotic sword light remaining as the sole rarity.

"boom!"

Amidst the blazing immortal light, earth fire and wind surged, and chaotic divine thunder roared. A path to immortality, sealed for countless ages, reappeared in the world under Lin Yu's sword!

"How terrifying!" Yao Xi exclaimed in horror.

Lin Yu, who was going all out, had an extremely powerful aura flowing around him, making her tremble all over, as if her body was about to collapse. It was too terrifying.

"go!"

Lin Yu, holding the immortal sword, stepped into the passage, followed closely by Yao Xi.

In the chaotic sea, divine light surged, and fragments of laws poured down like a torrential rain, but they were all suppressed by that earth-shattering sword light.

"Zheng!"

The Primordial Dao Sword, with its astonishing divine power, unleashed a vast expanse of sword energy, like a surging sea, breaking through all obstacles and resolutely plunging into the depths of chaos.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, celestial light danced, each wisp and strand like a soaring dragon, sacred and peaceful, emanating from the celestial realm.

These rare and precious celestial lights, so rare that they are hard to find elsewhere, are now emerging in large quantities, each several meters long and dazzlingly beautiful.

"This is the spiritual light of the celestial realm. This celestial light, when combined with your primordial spirit, can extend your life by at least three hundred years."

Lin Yu raised his hand and grabbed some immortal light, which fell into Yao Xi's hand. Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, he collected the immortal light and once again held the Primordial Dao Sword to continue carving out the chaos.

As the last wisp of chaos dissipated, the scene before us was astonishing—

The land was scorched and the country was shattered.

On the dried-up riverbed, fragments of weapons lay scattered, and between the broken mountains, the scars of a terrifying sword remained.

This sacred land, which should have led to the immortal realm, was completely destroyed in some unverifiable era.
