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

Chapter 84 Wang Bo Encounters Unexpected Twist

In the starry sky, the sighs of the ancient races lingered for a long time.

In this lifetime, even the birth of the ancient emperor's own son has occurred, yet they still missed out on the imperial mandate.

It was as if some unseen hand was interfering with everything, causing us to miss each and every lifetime.

After attaining enlightenment, Chuan Ying decided to join the Heavenly Court.

With Ning Fei's death, Chuan Ying let go of the past and focused solely on becoming an immortal.

"Human Emperor, is the only method for achieving immortality the Mortal Immortal?" Chuan Ying asked.

Although Li Xuan only told him this one method, he had a feeling that the other party should know other methods of immortality.

"The Immortal Path to Immortality is the method with the highest success rate for achieving immortality outside the Immortal Realm. Other methods require special environments, which are like flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water for us," Li Xuan patiently explained.

Back when the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were not yet shattered, there was a saying: "True immortals appear in the mortal world, and immortal kings can also be seen."

The immortals of that time certainly didn't follow the path of the mortal immortals, otherwise the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths wouldn't have been defeated by the foreign realm.

Relying on the complete rules of heaven and earth, and the rich immortal matter, they can achieve that final leap.

But now, immortal matter is extremely rare in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and most importantly, the rules of heaven and earth here are incomplete.

Unable to seek solutions externally, we must seek them internally.

"Senior Emperor, please explain in detail."

Li Xuan did not hold back and told the other party about the method of becoming a battle immortal and the transformation method of bathing in imperial blood.

After a long while, Chuan Yingcai finally came to his senses.

"Thank you for informing me, Senior Emperor."

After paying homage to another empress, Chuanying began her seclusion to prepare for what lay ahead.

Time flies, and a thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

Li Xuantong has remained unchanged for thousands of years, but his current life is remarkably long, spanning at least another 100,000 years.

On this day, a strange fluctuation emanated from the chaotic world.

The chaotic physical body, which had not moved for nearly ten thousand years, slowly stood up, with strange power flowing throughout its body.

However, there is no primordial spirit within the physical body; the remaining consciousness drives the body to act and seek help.

Li Xuan immediately noticed the changes in the Chaos Body and realized that the other party must have encountered a great calamity to take such action.

"Wang Bo!" Li Xuan called out his real name, attempting to awaken him from his countless reincarnations.

The sound of the Dao echoed throughout the endless void.

A slender, ethereal figure flew out from an ancient star, instantly transforming into a rain of light. The falling light then formed a path of light, pointing towards the depths of the universe.

In this way, the light path traversed and connected tens of thousands of star fields, finally stopping on an ancient star inhabited by life.

Li Xuan called out his real name again, but this time Guanglu did not appear.

Without hesitation, a golden road appeared beneath their feet, traversing various realms and heading towards that ancient star of life.

Along the way, he deduced Wang Bo's transformation trajectory, wanting to know what had happened to him.

This time, no matter how he tried to deduce it, he couldn't figure out what had happened to the other person.

Immediately, he thought of Wang Bo's previous incarnation whom he had met ten thousand years ago, when the other party's primordial spirit already had some flaws.

It seems that the passage of time has not improved the flaws in its essence; on the contrary, they have become more and more serious.

Wang Bo's current situation is somewhat critical; a slight misstep could lead to his death.

When he arrived at this ancient planet, his previously restless body had returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

A divine sense swept across this ancient star of life, but found nothing extraordinary about it.

To avoid any mishaps on his path to transformation, Wang Bo cultivated his primordial spirit for one lifetime. However, it seems that he underestimated the power of the myriad lifetimes of mortal life.

Li Xuan was now filled with doubts. What strange power was here that could block the path of a powerful cultivator's primordial spirit transformation?

Following the aura of the Chaos Body, the deductions continued until they finally stopped at a secular market.

The market town was small, with only a little over two hundred people in total, most of whom were ordinary people, and those who knew how to cultivate were even fewer.

"Young man, are you here to forge weapons?"

As soon as Li Xuan arrived, he was warmly greeted by someone.

Is there any special significance to this?

Upon hearing this, the man showed no displeasure and patiently explained the reasons behind it.

This market town was unknown a few years ago, until twenty years ago, when Old Man Wang, who had worked as a blacksmith all his life, found an infant on a snowy day.

Old Wang had no children of his own, but he treated the child he had found as his own, passing on all his skills to him and naming him Wang Tie.

Under Old Man Wang's patient guidance, Wang Tie's growth rate was rapid.

He was born with superhuman strength and had an extraordinary learning ability; by the age of eighteen, he had already mastered all of Old Man Wang's skills.

When he was twenty, he further improved upon Old Man Wang's blacksmithing skills, bringing them to their pinnacle.

From then on, people from all around flocked to this market, just to buy a tool that Wang Tie had personally crafted.

After listening to the other party's account, Li Xuan made a general guess about Wang Tie's identity; the other party should be Wang Bo's reincarnation.

However, his identity can only be truly confirmed by meeting him in person.

Following the direction the visitor pointed, they arrived at Old Wang's shop. Several years ago, Old Wang died, and now Wang Tie is the sole owner of the shop.

"What do you want to call? Hurry up and tell me, there are still a lot of people in line behind you!" Wang Tie said impatiently.

"Let's forge a longsword."

Upon hearing that he wanted a longsword made, Wang Tie immediately turned to look at the person who had come to him. Most of the people who came here to him forged everyday items; very few people came to him to forge weapons like swords.

The newcomer was handsome and refined, with long, flowing hair. He appeared to be around twenty years old, and possessed an otherworldly air that seemed unattainable to ordinary people.

After a long while, Wang Tie finally came to his senses and slowly spoke.

"Have we met somewhere before? Why do I feel like there's something important about me that's in you?"

He did not answer Wang Tie's question, but simply asked him to forge a long sword.

Li Xuan is now certain that the person in front of him is Wang Bo, but the other party is in a perfectly normal state with nothing unusual about him. However, the Chaos Body would not act violently for no reason, so there must be something that he has not discovered.

……

In the years that followed, Li Xuan remained here. Since Wang Bo is currently fine, perhaps the problems will only surface when he begins his next transformation.

Over the course of ten years, he frequently visited Wang Tie, and over time, the two developed a deep friendship.

One day, Wang Tie suddenly asked, "Are you an immortal?"

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised. Logically speaking, the other party shouldn't have been able to discover his identity, but now it seemed that the other party must have discovered something.

Seeing that the other party did not reply, Wang Tie thought of the moments they had spent together and said to himself with a self-deprecating smile, "Yes, how could there be immortals in this world? I must have been mistaken."

Shortly after, he "died" in an accident, and Wang Tie was heartbroken for a long time upon hearing the news. After that, he remained hidden in the shadows, observing the other party.

Another ten years have passed, and Wang Tie has turned forty. He has no children and many people have introduced him to potential partners, but he has rejected them all.

That year, Wang Tie's skills reached their peak, and many people called him the "Master Craftsman Wang".

His peak did not last long; before he was fifty, his strength began to decline, and he gradually lost the level he had at his peak.

Many people approached him, wanting him to pass on his blacksmithing skills, all because he had no children.

That year, Wang Tie returned with a little girl, and those who had designs on him gave up and stopped harassing him.

"I found you in the snow, so I'll call you Wang Xue."

Another twenty years have passed, and Wang Xue has perfectly inherited Wang Tie's skills. If it weren't for the fact that her strength was slightly inferior to Wang Tie's, her level would far surpass Wang Tie's.

That year, Wang Tie reached the end of his life. After arranging his affairs, he lay quietly under the elm tree, waiting for death to come.

"Are you here to take me to the underworld?" Wang Tie recognized the person as Li Xuan, who had been dead for over forty years.

"Wang Bo, wake up!"

A sound like a bronze bell echoed in Wang Tie's mind, and not long after, a small golden figure emerged from between Wang Tie's eyebrows.

"Who am I? Where am I going?" The little golden man was full of questions, and two voices echoed in his mind.

One led him toward the void, the other led him to follow the person before him.

Li Xuan's face revealed an expression of "I knew it," and the allure of worldly life left an indelible mark on Wang Bo.

The flaws in his primordial spirit allowed worldly influences to enter it. With each lifetime's experience, these worldly influences accumulated within him. If this continued, Wang Bo would eventually lose his true self and sink into the cycle of time.

At most a hundred lifetimes, it will be completely ruined.

The golden figure swayed from side to side, and after a long while, it finally made up its mind and flew into the void.

Li Xuan shook his head helplessly; it seemed he had no choice but to take action.

The loud shout earlier hadn't woken the other person up, clearly indicating that they were deeply immersed in worldly affairs.

With a reach of one hand, the golden figure was stopped.

The golden figure was furious, and the Imperial Laws activated on their own, attempting to break through the obstruction.

Wang Bo's primordial spirit has been tempered in the mortal world for a long time. Even if it is only an instinctive reaction now, it is definitely not something that a person who has achieved enlightenment in one lifetime can stop.

"boom!"

The chains of law flew out, their powerful force firmly binding the golden figure, preventing him from moving no matter how hard he tried.

"May your soul return to its origin!"

A long, resounding voice echoed through the heavens, and then Wang Bo's physical body emerged from the chaotic world.

The remaining consciousness within his physical body drove him toward his primordial spirit. At this moment, the golden figure returned to calm and ceased its struggle.

Li Xuan waved his hand, and the karmic fire fell, the raging flames burning away all worldly dust.

Then, a familiar aura emanated from within the body, and the golden figure, sensing the call, flew towards it.

Not long after, Wang Bo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. With a wave of his hand, a shower of light flew through the universe, representing the true spirit he had been missing all these years.

A thousand cries of sorrow filled the air, blood and energy surged to the heavens, and a powerful force flowed. With this, Wang Bo returned completely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, otherwise I might have been completely lost in the passage of time," Wang Bo said, bowing.

He overestimated his own understanding of the law and underestimated the vastness of the mortal world.

"Let's go back to Heaven!"

Once this matter is settled, there's no point in staying here.

Before leaving, Wang Bo infused Wang Xue with a wisp of chaotic energy, which would ensure her longevity.

"I wonder if the Human Emperor would be willing to fight me again?" Wang Bo asked during the journey.

Li Xuan did not refuse. The two were in their fifth life together, and Wang Bo's pride made him unwilling to admit defeat.

Soon after, news spread that an earth-shattering war had broken out on the edge of the universe, and countless people rushed there to witness the battle.

But when they arrived, only ruins remained. Judging from the traces left behind, one side had ended the battle with overwhelming superiority.

In the Heavenly Court, Wang Bo's breathing was unstable; he had suffered considerable injuries.

"I never imagined that after experiencing the mortal world, I would still be somewhat inferior to the Human Emperor," Wang Bo said helplessly.

"It was just luck. You've only just returned, and your true spirit is not yet stable. This is far from your full strength."

Upon hearing this, Wang Bo's face was full of bitterness, thinking to himself, "Didn't you also use all your strength?"
From then on, Wang Bo stayed in the Heavenly Court, becoming part of its foundation.

Time flows on, and ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Wang Bo completely stabilized his true spirit, and his strength reached a new level.

The Taiyin Emperor reached the end of this life thousands of years ago. He integrated all the laws of the world into himself, using himself as a furnace to ignite the Great Dao, and finally successfully evolved into the Chaos Body, thus successfully living out his fifth life.

The Daoist corpse of the Moral Celestial Venerable cultivated for thousands of years, but ultimately remained at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, unable to advance any further.

After spending several hundred years in the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Venerable of Morality left and traveled throughout the myriad realms.

……

In a secluded place in the Heavenly Court, an old figure sat cross-legged, his hair white and his face full of wrinkles.

"I didn't expect this life to end so quickly!" Chuanying said regretfully.

Everything seems like it happened just yesterday, so unreal.

Looking at the elixir of immortality in his hand, Chuan Ying's expression changed repeatedly. Finally, he made up his mind.

He's going to become a battle immortal!
If he fails to become a battle immortal, there is still the elixir of immortality, giving him another chance.

Without hesitation, he activated his profound technique, elevating his condition to its peak.

Immediately afterwards, a strange power surged from his body, but before Chuanying could take another step, a kick flew from the void, and the powerful force instantly interrupted his plan.

"So you're just taking my words for granted, aren't you?" Li Xuan said angrily.

Then, no matter how much Chuanying resisted, he got a good beating.

"Becoming a Battle Immortal is a dead end. With your current strength, even if you have an elixir of immortality, the price of becoming a Battle Immortal can instantly obliterate you."

Before Chuan Ying could say anything, Li Xuan forced the elixir of immortality into his mouth.

Then, a surge of blood energy erupted from the depths of the Heavenly Court, white hair turned black, and powerful energy reappeared, allowing Chuan Ying to be reborn.

"It's just a Transformation Immortal, is it really that big of a deal?" Chuan Ying said with dissatisfaction.

Without saying a word, Li Xuan beat the other person up again.

The later Battle Saint Emperor wanted to become a Battle Immortal, but in the end, he only left behind ashes. In an era without immortal matter, a Battle Immortal was courting death.

Moreover, even if Chuan Ying fails to live out his third life, he still has ways to protect him.
