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

Chapter 86 The Sixth Lifetime
The air of the mortal world is thick, but the true spirit hangs high in the heavens, looking down upon the eternal cycle of reincarnation.

Another thousand years have passed, and Li Xuan remains silent in the mortal world.

Unable to bear the dust and mortal atmosphere of this place, the Azure Lotus Elixir of Immortality moved itself to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

The other immortal herbs planted in the forbidden area of ​​the heavens have all taken some action to avoid the mortal world's influence.

The transcendent aura that once enveloped this place has been replaced by the mundane world.

Countless years have passed, and from within the forbidden zone of the heavens, a gaze of extraordinary power pierced through the mortal atmosphere, breaking the deathly silence of this place.

Li Xuan formed hand seals, and intricate runes flew out, drawing all the mortal energy within the forbidden zone of the heavens to his body.

Then, a karmic fire flew out from between his eyebrows, followed by countless flames flying out from his body, burning away all the worldly dust on his body.

"Sixth generation, open!"

The life essence of the universe surged wildly into the heavens and flowed into Li Xuan's body.

The change began at his Sendai, and under his guidance, it swept through the remaining secret realms, finally stopping at the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

Each incarnation of the Immortal of the Mortal World is accompanied by infinite risks, and this one is no exception.

The karmic fire covering his body suddenly became extremely hot, destroying the life force within his body and creating a standoff with the changes within the five secret realms.

"Now that I am born, how can the flames of worldly karma stop me!"

The sound of the Dao resounded throughout the heavens, and a terrifying vitality instantly overwhelmed the karmic fire of the mortal world, taking its place.

All these changes did not last long; a beam of celestial light flew out from the celestial platform, illuminating the nine heavens.

Blood energy soared to the heavens, enveloping the celestial court with overwhelming power that lingered for a long time.

“My lifespan in this lifetime is at least two hundred thousand years,” Li Xuan said, somewhat surprised.

According to his prediction, by the time of his eighth incarnation, time would have little effect on him. The so-called ninth incarnation is to elevate his state to its peak and truly break through to become a mortal immortal.

In the blink of an eye, two thousand years have passed, and he has completely consolidated his Dao fruition, taking it a step further than before.

"Where could the desolate tower possibly hide?"

Over the years, he has been trying to deduce the location of the abandoned tower by using the marks left by the Flying Immortal Star there, but to no avail.

He did not insist on this, for when he became a mortal immortal, the desolate tower would have nowhere to hide.

In the years that followed, Li Xuan secluded himself from the world and began to deduce the future path.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, the depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth arrived as expected.

With the suppression of all forces descending, the cultivator's path of cultivation began to be obstructed.

Ten thousand years passed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became extremely depleted. Saints and powerful beings were already the strongest in this world, and the sages and saints mentioned by the world were only at the level of Great Saints.

The current life of the Underworld Lord has ended, and the seal of reincarnation has been formed. If nothing unexpected happens, his next awakening will be in the ancient era, the one when the path to immortality begins.

……

The Qilin Ancestral Star is the most powerful race below the royal family among the ancient races because its ancestor was a powerful quasi-emperor at the fifth level, who left behind a quasi-emperor weapon.

"Do you think the imperial mandate of this generation will fall upon my Qilin clan?" an elder of the Qilin clan asked.

"The human race has several emperors. If they intervene, what can our race do?"

Upon hearing this, a strange sense of loss settled over him, and the elder who had spoken earlier fell silent about the matter.

Among the ancient races, a conspiracy theory is widely circulated: the emperors of several generations should have been theirs, but the Human Emperor intervened and forcibly cut off their opportunities, causing them to miss out on the imperial throne.

When the current emperor is still a human, this rumor seems to have become a reality. Some races that did not believe the rumor before now firmly believe it, and the Qilin race happens to be one of them.

Another ten thousand years have passed, and the suppression of all paths remains.

Three great forces exist in the human world, transcending the world and enduring through the ages.

In the Heavenly Court, Li Xuan emerged from the forbidden zone of the heavens and gazed into the depths of the universe.

Not long ago, his immortal pool suddenly trembled slightly, the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, and he took the matter very seriously.

A golden road appeared, pointing into the depths of the universe, and the direction that caused the celestial pool to tremble was there.

"What on earth could cause such a strange change?" Li Xuan was equally puzzled.

Previous calculations showed that there was nothing of extraordinary nature in that direction. But if there was nothing extraordinary, why would the Immortal Pool tremble for no reason?

According to his guess, the Immortal Pool must be something transcendent, not belonging to this world, not belonging to the past or the future, but only to the present world.

Anything capable of causing the celestial pool to tremble must at least be a celestial object comparable to Mount Sumeru.

In a short while, Li Xuan traversed various realms and arrived at the place that had caused the Immortal Pool to tremble.

"This place is completely unremarkable. What could be causing the slight tremor in the Immortal Pool?"

His divine sense swept across the surroundings, and there was nothing but deathly silence.

Even ancient planets with life are extremely rare here.

"This is the aura of the Desolate Tower!" Li Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

The magic used to deduce the desolate tower resonated intensely here.

The abandoned tower must be here!

Li Xuan had not expected that the Desolate Tower was not hiding in the Big Dipper Star Region, but rather had crossed various regions to hide here.

"Desolate Tower, now that I have arrived, why do you not come out and greet me?" A vast voice resounded across the desolate edge of the universe, echoing between heaven and earth.

"What? The legendary Desolate Tower is here?"

"Even the Emperor himself is here, there's no doubt about it!"

The world was in an uproar. The ancient creatures who lived here never expected that the legendary Desolate Tower would be here, yet they had not been able to find even a quasi-Emperor weapon for so many years.

You may have a treasure mountain to guard, but you will never be able to obtain it.

Then, a transcendent aura flew out from an ancient star of life, accompanied by a myriad of mournful cries, indicating that an unparalleled treasure was about to be born.

"This aura undoubtedly belongs to the Desolate Tower!"

Then, a pagoda flew out, its body turning slightly, surrounded by countless runes, its transcendent aura spreading throughout the universe.

A sense of apology emanated from within the tower, expressing its attitude.

“Come with me!” Li Xuan said calmly.

The desolate tower did not refuse; it knew that if the other party could find this place, they must have a way to keep it here permanently.

The desolate tower flew up and finally landed slowly in Li Xuan's palm, showing its complete submission.

Those who witnessed this scene felt a shattering of their Dao hearts. The legendary, supreme Desolate Tower now bowed down in submission before the Human Emperor.

"Just how strong is the Human Emperor? He can even subdue the Desolate Tower."

"Perhaps he has already become an immortal, otherwise how could he have made the Desolate Tower submit?"

They discussed the Human Emperor's strength extensively, and eventually reached a consensus that the Human Emperor's strength had transcended this realm and that he could ascend to the Immortal Realm at any time.

...A pleading will came from the deity within the desolate tower, urging Li Xuan not to refine him.

Li Xuan was momentarily confused, not understanding why the other party would act this way.

At this moment, he noticed that the Desolate Tower was very wary of the Chaos Green Lotus Immortal Medicine aura on his body, and he instantly understood everything.

Over the years, the Desolate Tower had long intended to submit to the Heavenly Court, but the Green Lotus Immortal Medicine was planted there, and the Desolate Tower was inherently at odds with it.

The deity of the Desolate Tower believed that the Chaos Green Lotus Elixir of Immortality was an appendage of Li Xuan, and that he might have destroyed Li Xuan for the sake of the Chaos Green Lotus, which is why he had not appeared for so long.

The reason why the Azure Emperor of later generations insisted on evolving the Immortal Realm inside the Desolate Tower instead of the Immortal Bell is likely related to this. Moreover, the Azure Emperor of later generations suppressed the gods inside the Desolate Tower by evolving the Immortal Realm in front of them, which was a way of killing them and destroying their spirit.

"Don't worry, I won't destroy you." Li Xuan reassured Huangta.

With the addition of the Desolate Tower, the Heavenly Court has become even more profound.

Ten thousand years have passed, and Li Xuan has never appeared in the world.

Similarly, the Sun Emperor and others never walked in the world. If it weren't for the frequent miracles performed by the Taiyin Emperor's faith in Ziwei Star, people might have thought that the two emperors had already perished.

"This life is about to begin!" Li Xuan murmured.

Thirty thousand years have passed since Chuanying "fell". The suppression of all things has dissipated, and at the same time, the spiritual energy in the world has begun to recover. Powerful clans that had disappeared have reappeared to compete for the imperial destiny of this generation.

On the ancient star of Qilin, three Qilin children broke free from the divine source, each displaying remarkable talent.

Behind the three prodigies, a slightly thin boy stood beside them, looking out of place.

"Three young ancestors, we will have to trouble you to fight for the destiny of attaining enlightenment in this lifetime!" said the elder of the Qilin clan in this lifetime respectfully.

Those three outstanding young talents are descendants of their ancestor, the Quasi-Emperor Qilin. They possess immense bloodline power and have limitless potential for the future.

"In this life..." The little ancestor started to speak but then stopped.

A somber atmosphere enveloped the place.

"Why can't the destiny of this life belong to our Qilin clan!" The young man on the far right broke the deathly silence.

"Alas, Huo'er, you have no idea how difficult it is here!" the Qilin clan chief said regretfully.

"Don't be so discouraged. Since there's no destiny for the Dao, there's still a chance for another Quasi-Emperor to emerge," the Qilin child on the far left comforted him.

"The future of the Qilin Clan rests on your shoulders!" the Qilin Clan elder said earnestly.

Soon after, the three young ancestors of the Qilin clan, along with the Fire Qilin, stepped onto the ancient star road to compete with the geniuses of various races, vying for that lifetime to achieve enlightenment.

The four fought their way through the ancient starry road, and the youngest of them, Huo Lin, became the strongest among them.

Wielding the Qilin Scepter, every attack he launched carried supreme divine might, earning him a formidable reputation in the ancient starry road.

"Good lad, you are the true prodigy of my Qilin clan!" praised the eldest of the young ancestors.

In the years that followed, the four fought their way through the world, eventually reaching the final stop of the Ancient Starry Sky Road.

Here, they encountered the most powerful opponent of their lives, Gu Lin from the Heavenly Court, whose identity was that of an ancient celestial being from countless years ago.

When the four first clashed, they were all at the Great Sage realm, and Gu Lin defeated them all in just a few moves.

"Fire Kirin, the road we've been waiting for has come to an end!" the youngest of the ancestors said regretfully.

"We will pass on the memories left by our ancestors to you, and carry on with our hopes!" the older of the younger ancestors said hopefully.

Over the years, they have witnessed the power of Huo Lin's talent. They have hindered Huo Lin's path, and his path should not stop here.

"Don't be afraid. If the Heavenly Emperor decides to take matters into his own hands in the future, it will simply mean the extermination of my Qilin clan." The usually taciturn group spoke up, which was quite unusual.

Huo Lin wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single one.

Carrying the hopes of his entire clan, Huo Lin and Gu Lin of the Heavenly Court fought from the Great Sage Realm all the way to the Big Dipper, from the Great Sage to the Quasi-Emperor.

Beidou, an ancient battlefield.

Huo Lin held the Qilin Scepter, and his quasi-emperor aura erupted from him, his imposing presence no less than that of Gu Lin opposite him.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged several blows. The battlefield was devastated, and the ground beneath their feet had been shattered into countless fragments under their terrifying clash.

Huo Lin found an opportunity and brought down the Qilin Scepter. Gu Lin couldn't dodge in time and took the hit squarely. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and his momentum instantly weakened.

"I have lost!" Gu Lin said calmly, without any regret.

Before leaving, Gu Lin left behind a thought-provoking remark: "The Human Emperor has been watching you for a long time."

The joy of Huo Lin's victory over Gu Lin vanished instantly, leaving only endless confusion.

"So what if he's the Emperor? At worst, he'll just die."

At this moment, Huo Lin made up his mind that even if it meant his death, he would still strive to prove himself in this life.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye. On the ancient star of Qilin, an incomparably powerful aura erupted, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

"Fire, don't be afraid, the worst that can happen is death," the Qilin clan chief comforted her.

Huo Lin no longer suppressed his cultivation and welcomed the tribulation lightning.

"In this life, I will attain enlightenment!" Huo Lin's unwilling voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The sea of ​​lightning surged, each bolt containing world-destroying power. If a quasi-emperor were here, they would be obliterated in no time.

Huo Lin unleashed his magic, battling against the heavenly lightning tribulation. With a swing of his Qilin Scepter, bolts of lightning were shattered.

He transformed into a supreme deity, standing amidst the tribulation of lightning, facing the myriad paths of the universe.

"Our ancient races are finally about to produce an emperor!"

"Whether we can hold out until the end is still uncertain!"

Some of the myriad races sneered, "Even if they succeed, so what? The Human Emperor will still have to deal with the Emperor who has dealt with them."

From within the sea of ​​thunder, an aura flew out from Huo Lin's body, entering the myriad paths and leaving its mark.

"Open it for me!"

The fiery unicorn roared, unleashing boundless power from its Qilin Scepter, defying all the laws of heaven and earth, and forging its own path.

A chorus of voices resounded in celebration of the birth of the new emperor.

"It really worked!"

On the ancient star of Qilin, excited shouts continued for a long time; their clan finally had its own emperor.

Before they could be excited for long, Gu Lin, who had once competed with Huo Lin for the Dao, reappeared.

"The Ancient Emperor of Qilin, the Human Emperor requests your presence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent. Some people who had not believed the rumor finally believed it.

"What does the Human Emperor want with me?" Huo Lin wanted to stall for time.

"Don't worry, it will only benefit you and not harm you!"

After saying that, Gu Lin left first, leaving Huo Lin alone.
