I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 388 The reign of Emperor Hao brings prosperity to the divine realm.

"What? The Bluebird is the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor?"

A crimson firebird circled above Li Boyang's head, and Xi Luo asked in shock.

"To be precise, he should be the last descendant of the Heavenly Emperor."

At this moment, Li Boyang was gathering his qi and transforming it into form, attempting to cross the river.

From a distance, one can only vaguely see a wave of air forming beneath its feet, as if it were walking on waves.

This is a water control technique that Li Boyang recently developed, which allows him to walk on water and drift with the current.

Especially now, when things aren't in a rush.

Letting the waves carry you forward is both a form of relaxation and a source of enjoyment.

"The last surviving son of the Heavenly Emperor?"

He blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

The firebird that Xi Luo transformed into ultimately landed on Li Boyang's shoulder.

Although it's just a transformation ability that comes with the Feather Robe, Xi Luo has already mastered it to an unparalleled degree.

The moment she landed on Li Boyang's shoulder, Xi Luo even deliberately concealed her fiery feathers, making her appear as if she were truly just a large, crimson bird.

"This is one of the major drawbacks of not having written records of history."

"All the truths are hidden in various fragmented myths and legends, left for the world to judge."

"If it weren't for the fact that we have a Spring God here who has lived for tens of thousands of years, I'm afraid no one would remember the great catastrophe that happened ten thousand years ago."

He gently stroked Xi Luo's head.

As Li Boyang walked on the waves, he recounted the information he had learned from the Immortal Spring God.

"According to the Immortal Spring God, the world ten thousand years ago was completely different from what we are now."

"Our era is one in which gods and humans coexist, and human sacrifice and offering are already extremely cruel rituals."

"However, ten thousand years ago, all living beings did not even qualify to be sacrificed as livestock."

"That was a barbaric and primitive era, where the gods regarded all living beings as ants and did not care about any living creature other than themselves."

Tilting her head, Xi Luo listened attentively to Li Boyang's story, trying her best to understand the world he was describing.

Even among gods, the law of the jungle prevails: the strong prey on the weak.

"No communication, no civilization, not even wisdom..."

"You could even think of the ancient gods of the wilderness as just a group of powerful beasts."

"Until the Heavenly Emperor appeared out of nowhere, he used his supreme power to rule over gods and demons, and established the most primitive order and rules."

"Because its power is terrifyingly strong, like the sun in the midday sky, it is also known as 'Hao'."

“Those who respect Him as gods and demons will go a step further and address Him as ‘Lord Hao’.”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

—When the ruler Haojun brought order to the world, even gods and demons submitted.

—When all living beings find a moment of peace and rest, the divine way flourishes.

These are the exact words spoken by the Immortal Spring God when describing that era to Li Boyang.

No one knows how long Haojun's reign lasted.

Because in an era before written records existed, only major events served as punctuation marks for defining history.

Hao Jun's sudden emergence can be considered the first stage.

This period of time was so long that even the Immortal Spring God didn't know how many tens of thousands of years it would take to describe it.

The only certainty is that Haojun at this stage was the undisputed overlord, a great god worshipped by countless deities.

Just as no one can deny Haojun's domineering nature, no one can deny his achievements during this period.

However, as time went on, Haojun's rule quickly entered its second phase.

Although gods can live forever, they are not truly immortal. Even if Hao Jun became a great god, he could not escape this law of life and death.

Thus, Haojun, who held the power over heaven and earth, began to fear death and would stop at nothing to escape it.

Then came the momentous event of Haojun ambushing the Lord of the Underworld and stealing the "Secret of Life and Death".

After that great battle, Haojun went into seclusion, and the gods who had been suppressed by him began to rise again.

That was a true war of the gods.

It was the first great battle after countless ancient savage gods gained wisdom and order.

That great war shattered the order established by Haojun, causing the once-prosperous divine path to decline.

I witnessed firsthand the mass death of the gods.

All living beings suddenly realized that the gods were nothing more than a group of beings who had mastered even greater power.

Unfortunately, even towards the end of the war...

Hao Jun still did not show up, but continued to hide in his Heavenly Emperor's Capital.

It wasn't until much later that the remaining gods realized that Haojun had actually been cultivating the Immortal Grass during that time.

As expected, another upheaval occurred around the Immortal Grass, which could grant immortality to all living beings.

Then came the third stage of Haojun's rule – the simultaneous appearance of ten suns.

Those ten golden crows were the ten sons of Haojun, and they were trying to join forces to destroy the rebellious gods.

Ultimately, however, he was defeated by the gods, completely ending Haojun's rule over this world.

"You are the incarnation of the last golden crow."

Quietly recounting what she knew about Hao Jun's rule, the Immortal Spring God did not miss that era.

After all, in that era, all living beings were nothing more than ants, dust that could be wiped away by the gods at any time.

"So the power hidden within you is the power of the primordial sun."

"That power does not belong to this era; it is the power of Haojun, which should have returned to the world."

The large face on the tree trunk stared at the bluebird, and there was not a trace of regret in the tone of the Immortal Spring God.

"In order to survive, I stole the power of the Golden Crow..."

"But I overestimated my limits and underestimated the survival instinct of the Golden Crow."

"I used its power to break through my limits and gained an immortal body."

"But it also used my body to re-evolve into an embryo, transforming into a giant blue egg."

Silently listening to the Immortal Spring God's narration, the Bluebird had already understood its origins, but still had some questions.

"So am I a golden crow or a bluebird?"

Upon hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on the aged face of the Immortal Spring God.

"I cannot answer that question."

"You have to find the answer yourself; only you can decide who you are."

Before the Bluebird could refute again, the Immortal Spring God continued speaking.

"Li Boyang wants to find the Immortal Grass to refine the perfect Elixir of Immortality..."

"If we follow his requirements, the Great Xia's 'Undying Cauldron' is clearly not qualified."

"Only the Immortal Herb of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital can possibly satisfy Li Boyang's pursuit of the perfect elixir of immortality."

The Immortal Spring God didn't need to continue; the Bluebird already understood.

"Li Boyang wants to find the Immortal Grass in the Heavenly Emperor's Capital. Perhaps he can use me in some way."

"And I also need this journey to truly understand myself and take control of the power of the savage sun."
