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

Chapter 85 Chuan Ying's Later Years
Looking at Li Xuan, who had never been so angry, Chuan Ying couldn't help but have some doubts about the path of the War Immortal.

"If the rules of heaven and earth are incomplete, and one forcibly transforms into a battle immortal, the backlash from heaven and earth would be so great that even I cannot guarantee I will escape unscathed."

Even someone as powerful as the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, when he dreamt of the era of the Fallen Emperor in the Heavenly Forbidden Land, a time when Immortal Kings were slaughtered, True Immortals perished, and the rules of heaven and earth suppressed everything, was still superior to this era.

After all, the rules of heaven and earth were more perfect in that era than in this era. How could a warrior immortal who had difficulty succeeding in the era of the Fallen Emperors possibly succeed in this era?

"Live well, and I have a way to make you live forever." After saying this, he left.

It took Chuan Ying a long time to come to his senses, and from then on he completely gave up the idea of ​​becoming a battle immortal.

From then on, Chuanying began a period of seclusion to accumulate resources for his third transformation.

……

Heavens above, Li Xuan has been in seclusion here for many years, meticulously studying the laws of his next life.

Beside him sat a figure just like him, whose aura remained stagnant at the level of unorthodox enlightenment, unable to make any further breakthroughs.

“This method might not be unworkable!” Li Xuan’s expression revealed excitement.

From his third incarnation onwards, he had been working on deducing the secret of the character "临" (Lin), even condensing the essence of his holy blood into that avatar, in an attempt to break through that final barrier.

These efforts were not without reward. Wang Bo's fifth incarnation gave him inspiration. Perhaps he could let this incarnation experience countless lifetimes of mortal life in his place.

As the "Former" secret was activated, a stream of light flew out from between his brows, emanating powerful energy, imperial might, and resounding Daoist chants.

Although he had never deliberately cultivated his primordial spirit, the strength of his primordial spirit was no less than that of Wang Bo, who had cultivated his primordial spirit for a lifetime.

On this day, Li Xuan began to devote a portion of his mind to his avatar, attempting to remain within it for an extended period of time.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Xuan has already been able to completely integrate his mind and spirit into his avatar.

The avatar that was the manifestation of the secret evolution of the character "Lin" was now exuding wisps of imperial pressure, and it was confident that it could suppress even the most accomplished Daoists of the present era.

"Tens of thousands of years of deduction have finally been perfected!" Li Xuan murmured.

Over the years, he has perfected the secret of the character "Lin," even surpassing the celestial being who created it.

He combined the secret of the character "Lin" with his own ideas and created the Dharma for the next life. He used his physical body as a shell to protect the part of his mind that had been separated, so that he could experience the mortal world, taste all the worldly splendor, and complete the transformation for the next life.

"Eternal Reincarnation, Begin!"

Runes flew everywhere, and the aura of time burst forth from his body. Radiance flowed, and the runes of the Great Dao landed on his avatar to protect that part of his true spirit and keep him from being corrupted by the mortal world.

Immediately afterwards, a drop of holy blood flew out from his body and merged into his evolved form, making him no different from a true living being.

Then, the power of transformation emanated from that avatar, turning into specks of light rain, blending with the dust, and flying into the universe.

Having experienced the art of blending in with the world, Wang Bo looked at Li Xuan with a glint in his eyes. He had never imagined that blending in with the world could be like this.

From then on, Li Xuan went into seclusion, controlling the trajectory of his avatar's life to prevent irreversible accidents.

……

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to gradually dissipate, foreshadowing the end of this life.

Unlike in the past, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is dissipating much more slowly this time than in previous great eras; it will take at least 20,000 years before the world enters a period of dormancy.

Perhaps it is to give back to all living beings that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipates so slowly in this life.

The second incarnation of the Sun Emperor reached the end of his lifespan, but his evolution into a chaotic body allowed him to live for a full 60,000 years, demonstrating his extraordinary nature.

"Time flies like a galloping horse; in the blink of an eye, sixty thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye," the Sun Emperor sighed.

Without hesitation, he activated the Chaos Dao Scripture, and a strange power flowed through his body. This power was accompanied by destruction, but it also contained new life.

After tens of thousands of years, the Sun Emperor thoroughly researched the secrets of the Chaotic Body and created the laws for the next generation.

Sever the origin of chaos, be reborn from destruction, and live out the next life.

Facing the chaotic body he had painstakingly condensed, the Sun Emperor did not hesitate much. He slashed down from the void, severing the source of chaos and completely transforming himself into a mortal body.

The news that the Sun Emperor had severed the origin of chaos caused a great deal of discussion among those who heard it.

"That was a Chaos Body, and the Sun Emperor just gave it up like that!" someone said regretfully.

"According to the old sayings, the mortal body is the best physique in the world. Perhaps the Sun Emperor saw through all this, which is why he did this."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately refuted them.

"If you say that the mortal body is the strongest, then why is it that none of the strongest Dao attainers in history were mortal bodies? Even the Human Emperor of the Heavenly Court was a Great Perfection Saint Body. So why do you say that the mortal body is the strongest?"

This statement sparked a debate about physical constitution throughout the universe. Most beings believed that physical constitution was very important, while only a very small number believed that physical constitution was not important, and that even ordinary people could achieve enlightenment and become powerful throughout the heavens and the earth.

However, none of this affected the Sun Emperor; his transformation continued.

Between heaven and earth, endless life essence surged forth from the Sun Sect, within which sat a supreme figure, his imperial majesty flowing, and powerful energy nurtured within him.

The Sun Emperor formed hand seals, and life force emerged from the Secret Realm of the Sea of ​​Others. With the circulation of magical power, he traveled through the five secret realms and began this life.

Blood energy surged to the heavens, ten thousand paths wailed, imperial might swept across the nine heavens and ten earths, and the power of the Sun Emperor reached new heights.

After the Sun Emperor lived out his third life, he displayed miracles in the human world for a thousand years before going into seclusion to prepare for his next life.

Six thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the reigning emperor of Chuan Ying has come to the end of this era.

"I didn't expect this day to come so soon!" Chuan Ying said calmly. At this moment, he felt no resentment whatsoever. If he could not live a third life, he would choose to die.

As for the method of immortality mentioned by the Human Emperor, he guessed that it should not be much different from the method used by the Supreme Being in the Forbidden Zone.

He was unwilling and did not want to cut his own throat. The dragon-slaying youth was either alive or dead in his eyes; he could not cut his own throat to survive.

Without hesitation, he activated his profound power, igniting the longevity essence nurtured within his immortal platform, transforming it into Dao fire that burned away the decay of the past.

Everything was progressing normally until the decaying Sendai was burned down, and a new Sendai began to emerge.

Suddenly, the newly established Sendai encountered an obstacle and could not make any progress.

At this moment, the longevity essence he had condensed was being consumed at an extremely rapid rate, but the newly formed Immortal Platform remained unchanged.

As the last wisp of the essence of immortality was exhausted, Chuan Ying knew he had lost.

"As expected, the transformation of the third life will definitely not be so simple; death is the final outcome," Chuanying said regretfully.

Just as Chuan Ying was about to transform into a Daoist, a voice rang in his ears.

“I said I would make you live forever, and I will.”

A drop of sacred blood fell from the void and merged into Chuan Ying's aged body, preventing his condition from deteriorating further.

"Your Majesty, if I am to cut my own throat, I may disappoint you!" Chuan Ying said resolutely.

Li Xuan didn't explain much, but formed a hand seal, enticing the mark he had left in the universe.

"Senior Lingbao, I would like to invite you to visit the Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Chuan Ying looked shocked, a terrifying thought flashing through his mind: The Human Emperor was going to brave the path to immortality for him!
When Lingbao Tianzun arrived, Li Xuan didn't say much. He took a step forward, and a golden path appeared, pointing to an unknown place.

"go!"

The two followed Li Xuan to that unknown place.

A moment later, we finally arrived at our destination.

Nine dragon corpses dragged a huge bronze coffin across the universe, exuding an ancient aura and a sense of vicissitude.

“Nine dragons pulling the coffin!” Lingbao Tianzun exclaimed in surprise.

He had searched for this object before, but after searching the whole world, he found nothing. He never expected that it would be here.

Chuan Ying was equally unsettled. When the Emperor established the Heavenly Court, he mobilized its power to search for this item, but he still hadn't found it by the time the entire sect ascended to immortality.

"Could there be a celestial realm inside?" Upon hearing this, even the Celestial Venerable Lingbao thought it was a complete fantasy.

Li Xuan didn't say much. He reached out and pulled the Nine Dragons Coffin to his front. Then, he moved aside the outer bronze outer coffin to reveal the small bronze coffin inside.

Lingbao Tianzun and Chuanying stepped inside, and even though they were used to seeing rare treasures of heaven and earth, they were still amazed by the wonders of this place for the first time.

"The real secret is inside!" Li Xuan pointed to the small bronze coffin inside.

When the three arrived, the chanting of scriptures continued, and the ancient times flowed before their eyes.

"This is an undeveloped immortal realm!"

Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun and Chuanying both breathed heavily, their faces filled with shock. This news was too incredible; no one could remain calm after hearing it.

"Really?" Lingbao Tianzun's voice was filled with excitement.

Li Xuan nodded, confirming his earlier statement.

"Is this the method of immortality you speak of?" Chuan Ying asked.

"There is a vast amount of immortal matter here. Although it cannot make you an immortal, it will certainly grant you longevity."

Upon hearing this, Chuanying was momentarily lost in thought. He thought of the Emperor. If he had discovered the secret here back then, perhaps none of what followed would have happened.

All of this ultimately amounted to a helpless sigh.

"Let's go."

Li Xuan waved his hand, and a crack appeared in the small bronze coffin.

Upon entering this realm, a rich concentration of immortal substances surged into Chuan Ying's body, restoring his damaged physical form and preventing it from deteriorating further.

Lingbao Tianzun's divine sense swept across this realm, marveling at its wonders. Every rune here was something he had never seen before, far beyond what the mortal world could possess.

“This realm is flawed and has not yet fully evolved!” Lingbao Tianzun discovered the problem in a moment.

"Indeed, this place was used by the powerful beings of the Immortal Realm to repair the Immortal Realm back then. It took countless years to reach this point."

……

With the help of the immortal substances here, Chuan Ying's condition has been restored to normal. As long as he stays here, he can live forever.

"Thank you for the Emperor's great kindness." Chuan Ying bowed in gratitude.

"While this place is good, it also prevents you from making any progress or leaving," Lingbao Tianzun explained the advantages and disadvantages.

Chuan Ying didn't have much regret about this. He had once cut himself in the penalty area and dared not leave the penalty area easily. He had already done very well.

Li Xuan and Lingbao Tianzun stayed in this place for ten thousand years, analyzing the Dao patterns here and deducing the path ahead.

There are remnants of immortal laws here, which are of great benefit to cultivation in the human realm.

Lingbao Tianzun guided the remaining immortal laws here and refined them into the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian, which were originally only one step away from becoming immortal artifacts, have now truly transformed into real immortal artifacts.

By forging immortal weapons with the power of humanity, Lingbao Tianzun accomplished an astonishing feat.

Li Xuanmu carved the laws here, imprinting them into his own chaotic world, making them ever more perfect.

In the outside world, the three human emperors have not appeared for a full ten thousand years.

Those powerful individuals who once coveted the Heavenly Court harbored inappropriate thoughts, but due to the existence of the Taiyin Sect and the Taiyang Sect, they dared not take any overly radical actions.

On this day, inside the Nine Dragons Coffin, Li Xuan slowly rose, his aura even stronger than it had been ten thousand years ago.

Lingbao Tianzun also gained a lot; the Four Swords of Zhuxian were completely transformed into immortal artifacts, and his strength was greatly enhanced.

"It's time to leave!" Li Xuan said calmly, without the slightest attachment to this world.

"See you in the Immortal Realm!" said Lingbao Tianzun.

Then, the two transformed into rainbows and vanished, leaving Chuanying alone.

When the two reappeared, those who had harbored ill intentions towards the Heavenly Court trembled with fear of being punished.

……

In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years have passed. Those powerful figures who once harbored ill intentions towards the Heavenly Court have long been purged, and the Heavenly Court has now earned the status of the number one power in the universe.

On this day, inside the Heavenly Palace, Li Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his face showing joy.

The embodiment of the secret evolution of the character "临" has returned.

Twenty thousand years have passed, and the mortal world has left indelible marks on him, but this has also led to an astonishing transformation.

"Just as I guessed, transcending the mortal world, eternally indestructible!"

Then, he activated the secret technique, and his whole body emitted a crystalline light. The avatar evolved from the "Lin" secret technique responded to him, and a strange connection was born between the two.

"Return!"

As the words fell, the avatars that had evolved from the secret of the character "临" began to shatter, turning into a shower of light.

Each drop of light contained the experience of a lifetime. Then, the rain of light, guided by Li Xuan, rushed towards him and finally merged into him.

Having lived through tens of thousands of lifetimes, each a true story, Li Xuan transformed into a supreme deity, overlooking everything from beyond the mortal realm.

In one lifetime, he was a lowly soldier in the border army. As soon as the two sides clashed, he was killed as cannon fodder.

In another life, he was reborn as a talented scholar on his way to the capital for the imperial examination. When he was robbed by bandits, he was penniless and was eventually brutally murdered by them.

……

The experiences of each lifetime flashed before his eyes, so real that if his primordial spirit were not strong enough, he would have been lost in this torrent long ago.

A thousand years have passed, and Li Xuan has been sitting here cross-legged ever since, his worldly aura growing heavier and heavier, as if he were trapped in the mortal world.
