Covering the sky: Traveling through the holy body, suppressing the dark turmoil

Chapter 104 The Martial Saint in the Stone
The wheels of time keep turning forward, and all things are born and die, which no one can change.

Two hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Xuan had been deducing his final incarnation all these years.

Of the nine lifetimes in the mortal world, this last one is the most difficult.

By summarizing the achievements of the previous eight lifetimes, one can ensure that one's state remains at its peak.

The peak of life cannot be retained.

But combining all of the previous elements and elevating them to their highest level is an incredibly difficult task.

Furthermore, if he wants to enter the Immortal Realm, he needs at least three Mortal Immortals.

The magnificent team of four immortals from later generations—Ye Fan, the Empress, Wu Shi, and Duan De—opened the gates to the Immortal Realm.

He didn't even have a single immortal on his side.

Li Xuan let out a long, helpless sigh.

In these two hundred thousand years, only one ancient emperor was born in the world.

Unfortunately, the other party provoked the Sun Cult, and as a result, he was slapped away by the Taiyin Emperor and never dared to set foot in the Great Universe again.

Finally, he died of old age.

On this day, the humanoid stone embryo nurtured in the Holy Spirit Immortal Land underwent a miraculous transformation.

The brilliant light never faded, and the life essence of the universe was continuously absorbed into it.

The power of the Great Dao is inexhaustible, helping the stone monkey to be born.

All of this lasted for 20,000 years, with no sign of its birth.

Until this day, the Heavenly Court trembled, and everyone felt that an immeasurable being was about to emerge.

"boom!"

The thunderous roar continued, and an unparalleled aura gathered.

All of this lasted only a moment before disappearing.

Then, a stream of light flew out from the stone embryo and soared into the heavens.

Soon after, the stone body was covered with dense cracks, and then a large, hairy hand reached out.

The stone core cracked inch by inch, revealing the creatures inside.

A monkey!
Li Xuan scanned the area with his divine sense and found that there was no monkey in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths that matched the description.

Its golden fur and the gleam in its eyes clearly indicated that it was no ordinary person.

Using the secret technique, one must deduce his past.

A beam of divine light pierced through the river of time, but encountered tremendous obstacles.

“You scum, even if I can’t kill you, someone else will come and take you down.”

A furious roar of defiance echoed through the river of time.

Unlike ordinary holy spirits, the stone monkey had no magical aura within it.

Completely new life.

After confirming that the stone monkey was in good condition, he was arranged to live with some of the younger generation of the Heavenly Court.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

The stone monkey of yesteryear has now grown up and embarked on the path of cultivation for quite some time.

On this day, a figure sat cross-legged on the platform, guiding these younger generations on their path.

Everyone in the audience listened patiently, but one figure stood out from the crowd.

Every now and then, he would run to the side, wanting to talk to the other person.

Seeing that the other party did not react, it ran to the side of the Green Lotus Immortal Medicine and, taking advantage of its inattention, tore off a lotus leaf to play with.

Poor Qinglian Immortal Elixir, it came out to help them get into the right state, and thus lost a part of its body.

The remaining lotus leaves swayed, venting their discontent.

Finally, a hot-tempered boy stood up angrily, determined to teach the other boy a lesson.

As he stood up, most of those present were affected and pulled out of their state of enlightenment.

Li Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the culprit behind all of this.

"You naughty monkey, you won't learn this, you won't learn that, what exactly do you want to learn?"

The stone monkey sensed the anger in the words and quickly bowed, saying, "Since I began my cultivation, I have only spent a few years to comprehend and understand everything you have said. It was really boring, which is why I did this."

Li Xuan waved his hand to dismiss everyone, leaving only him and the stone monkey.

"All of this is already quite basic for you, so I'll pass on some real knowledge to you. How much you can comprehend is up to you."

Most of what he said was related to building a foundation, but the stone monkey's foundation was already incredibly deep, so he should indeed tell the other party some true principles of heaven and earth.

After that day, the stone monkey never appeared again and began his own path of cultivation.

Five years later, Li Xuan personally sent the stone monkey to the Big Dipper Star Region, beginning his path to invincibility.

"Master, I don't know if we'll ever meet again after this parting?" Sun Wukong's eyes glistened with tears.

Li Xuan did not reply, but only nodded slightly in response.

At the same time, the ancestral star of the Fighting Holy Ape welcomed the birth of two baby holy apes.

The lineage of the Fighting Saint Ape was already dwindling, and the sudden appearance of two little Saint Apes caused the entire clan to rejoice.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and the two little holy apes from back then have long since become the leading figures of the younger generation.

But a crisis followed, as they attracted the jealousy of others.

An ancient prodigy named Di Que also emerged out of nowhere, echoing the prodigy of the Fighting Saint Ape lineage.

The two brothers, the Fighting Saint Ape, embarked on the Ancient Road of the Stars, beginning their invincible journey.

As if destined, the two met for the first time on the ancient starry road and immediately launched an earth-shattering battle.

Unfortunately, the battle didn't last long. A battle staff made of black gold with dragon patterns entered the battlefield and interrupted the two.

"Is this all there is to the Fighting Saint Ape lineage?" Di Que said sarcastically.

But at this moment, he was also confused and had no idea where the monkey came from.

"You two come at me together!" Sun Wukong provoked.

Both of them are the most outstanding talents in the world, how could they be insulted like this?

Thus, the two, unusually, joined forces to attack each other.

This battle was extremely fierce. During the battle, Sun Wukong used all his secret techniques, but he could only remain undefeated.

The news of the three prodigies' battle attracted the attention of everyone in the universe, but even more so, people were curious about the monkey that had suddenly appeared.

The Fighting Saint Ape himself stated that he was not of their kind.

This only made them more curious about Sun Wukong's identity.

Later, with the addition of Sun Wukong on the ancient road, a strange situation arose among the three.

Several hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and the three of them entered the Great Sage Realm almost at the same time.

The three engaged in an earth-shattering battle at that realm. After that, Di Que and Sun Wukong disappeared, leaving only the Fighting Saint Ape in the universe.

Everyone knows where they went; even their bodies can't be found, as if they've vanished into thin air.

The Fighting Saint Ape embarked on that final journey alone, beginning his path to invincibility and achieving the title of invincible in this lifetime.

Every moment in the universe, new life is born.

On this day, an extremely special being was born.

His birth was unremarkable, but his destiny was the first of its kind in history.

A true decline.

Hun Tuo showed amazing talent even as a child.

When he was four years old, the children he was playing with got into a fight over some issues.

At this moment, Hun Tuo said, "Peace is the most precious thing!"

As a result, the other child was beaten until he was covered in bruises and weak.

No one could have imagined that a child with no strength could commit such a terrible act. Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Xiao Hun Tuo has displayed extraordinary talent.

Although he is far inferior to those geniuses who have the potential to attain enlightenment, there are very few who can compare with him among his peers.

Hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye, and a vast battle erupted from the universe.

All living beings witnessed that magnificent scene: a golden figure wielding a powerful long staff shattered the vast lightning tribulation.

This scene deeply shocked Hun Tuo, and he vowed in his heart that he would definitely reach that level in the future.

The tribulation of lightning continues throughout the universe.

As the golden figure wielded his long staff, the lightning tribulation shattered, unable to stop the one who had attained enlightenment behind him.

Then, a stream of light flew out from between his eyebrows, and his body merged with all the Dao. From then on, this Dao became the supreme Dao in the universe.

After achieving the highest position, the Fighting Saint Emperor did not stay in the world for long. After consolidating his Great Dao, he stepped onto the golden path and flew towards the depths of the universe.

……

In the Heavenly Court, the Fighting Saint Emperor looked at Sun Wukong and Di Que with a complicated expression.

“Fellow Daoist, this path in this life is yours; we are merely making way for you,” Sun Wukong said first.

In that great battle, the three only exchanged a few moves before the outcome was decided.

Ultimately, the Fighting Holy Ape was slightly stronger.

Di Que wanted to give it another try, since if they fought to the death, it was uncertain who would win.

In the end, Sun Wukong fought a desperate battle with Di Que, but Di Que was slightly inferior and lost.

And so, he was taken to the Heavenly Court.

As the three were talking, Li Xuan suddenly appeared, interrupting their conversation.

"Now that you have attained enlightenment, I will tell you some things."

Then, the method for achieving immortality was revealed, and the three listened with a gleam in their eyes.

Unnoticed by everyone, a subtle change flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

Finally, Li Xuan emphasized to the Fighting Saint Emperor: "The method of the Battle Immortal is unacceptable; to attempt it will surely lead to death."

The Fighting Saint Emperor acknowledged this.

After seeing off the Fighting Saint Emperor, Li Xuan was looking forward to the appearance of someone.

Bad luck!

The Battle Saint Emperor spent hundreds of years thoroughly consolidating his Great Dao, thus becoming the supreme Battle Emperor in the world.

On this day, many of the ancient clan's prodigies paid homage to the new emperor.

The Fighting Saint Emperor did not refuse and met with these ancient great saints.

Among this group of people, a Great Sage named Hun Tuo suddenly spoke up:

"This junior would like to test the difference between myself and the Holy Emperor."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the group was shocked.

With just one hand, the Fighting Saint Emperor defeated Hun Tuo instantly.

To avoid embarrassing the other party too much, the Fighting Saint Emperor said, "This boy has good talent."

After that, the fame of the Great Sage Hun Tuo spread throughout the universe.

However, what he is most famous for is his bad luck; almost everyone he has advised has suffered a setback.

"I heard that someone told his fortune, and he was destined to be cursed in this life."

At first, this rumor didn't attract much attention, but when Hun Tuo persuaded the Great Sage to commit suicide, the world completely believed it.

Hun Tuo listened to all this with a complicated expression. But when he thought about what he had done, his guess became more and more likely to be true.

In the universe, whenever two sides in a battle see Hun Tuo, they immediately stop fighting.

After all, if the other party utters that ancient incantation, one of them will surely perish.

Life is precious and should not end so hastily.

Some even went so far as to praise Hun Tuo as the inventor of the tenth secret, the "Quan" character secret, which is outside the nine secrets.

Once the secret of the word "persuasion" is revealed, who can resist?

Hun Tuo's reputation was so great that he could be considered the number one person below the Fighting Saint Emperor.

In the Heavenly Court, Li Xuan listened to everything and strongly suppressed the urge to burst into laughter.

I thought Hun Tuo was only called the God of Misfortune in the ancient times, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful in the prehistoric era.

During this time, Sun Wukong wanted to test Hun Tuo's reputation, but was stopped in the end.

He was well aware of the terrifying nature of the other party's destiny, and that Sun Wukong's destiny might not be able to withstand it.

A century later, Hun Tuo's attempt to break through to the Quasi-Emperor level failed.

"Sigh, that's just how I am."

Hun Tuo has a particularly good mindset and doesn't have a particularly strong desire for a higher level.

This may also be the reason why the Hun Tuo Neng of later generations has existed for so long.

Another thousand years have passed, and Hun Tuo has lived most of his life.

When he looked back, he found that all he had left behind was the title of "God of Misfortune".

“This era is not suitable for me. This god of misfortune is slander. I just like to fight. What’s wrong with that?” Hun Tuo said with dissatisfaction.

He wants to go to the afterlife to get rid of the name of this god of misfortune.

Just as he made up his mind to shut himself off, someone came to his door.

Sun Wukong sized up the God of Misfortune, and a sense of unease from his very soul made him stay away from this person.

"A jinx? Interesting." Sun Wukong waved his hand and, ignoring Hun Tuo's resistance, took him away.

When you encounter a powerful enemy that is difficult to resist when you fight on the path to immortality in the future, you can release Hun Tuo.

When Hun Tuo arrived at the Heavenly Court, he immediately realized that he had been framed.

But when he learned that this was the Heavenly Court, he gave up the idea of ​​escaping and stayed here peacefully.

If he successfully enters the Immortal Realm in the future, he will win without lifting a finger.

……

Li Xuan was enveloped in a supreme aura, with wisps of immortal energy emanating from him.

The immortal liquid flowing from his immortal pool has reached its peak, and is now comparable to the elixir of immortality from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

It has long since transcended its basic function of prolonging life; the fragments of laws contained within it are of immense help to cultivation.

The Dao fruits from Li Xuan's previous eight lives resonated within him, but they could never be fully integrated.

Various laws intertwined around him, unleashing a strange power.

The evolutionary process of those Celestial Kings that he had previously observed resurfaced in his mind.

The obscure parts that were once incomprehensible became increasingly clear, resonating within his body.

"not enough!"

Li Xuan realized his shortcomings. He wanted to perfect the Dao fruits of his previous eight lives, and then use them as Dao fire to ignite his ninth life.

Once he understood the cause and effect, he devoted himself to the process of improvement.

During this process, the Immortal Pool underwent extraordinary changes every day. The number of fragments of immortal laws within the flowing immortal liquid increased, circulating throughout the body and accelerating the process.

Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and the current life of the Fighting Saint Emperor came to an end.

Whether it was fate or not, he was very fond of this method of fighting immortals.

He swallowed the elixir of immortality and was reborn in a new life.

He needs to accumulate experience over two lifetimes, and in his third lifetime, he will directly transform into a Battle Immortal.

What the Fighting Saint Emperor didn't know was that a gaze had been fixed on him, and if he dared to transform into a Battle Immortal, that person would show him what a thunderous strike was.
