I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 402 The Wishing Machine? (33)

At the same time, in the ruins of the Eighth Heaven.

The Heavenly Lord was still chasing after the blood bird that had transformed from the Soul Jade.

Just as Li Boyang said, the [Soul Jade] was actually Wu Yao's corrupted remnant soul.

Wu Yao's remnant soul was intertwined with the immortal divine soul, yet it could only act according to the most basic instincts.

Let alone higher intelligent life forms.

This [Soul Jade] is not even as good as the most primitive wild beasts.

However, although this [Soul Jade] only possesses the most basic level of spirituality, its strangeness is unprecedented in the life of the Heavenly Lord of Eclipse.

When it is in the hands of the Cursed, it will inherit the Cursed's knowledge and continue to influence the other's will.

It's like an evil version of the Curse, or perhaps a true resurgence of the Hook Star.

The Soul Jade amplifies the impure thoughts and evil within the mind of the Cursed One.

It leads the other person uncontrollably down the path of evil, ultimately causing them to completely lose themselves.

However, this is the tomb of the gods.

The Soul Jade gathered those remains of flesh and blood, evolving into its current form as a blood bird.

This blood bird inherited the resentment of the gods and absorbed their power, making it seem like a beast that only knew how to destroy.

The Eclipse Lord fought against it for many years before finally capturing it not long ago.

However, at the very last moment before they were about to escape from the Ruins, they were caught in a trap.

Because of a momentary lapse in judgment by the embodiment of good intentions, the [Soul Jade] was lost once again.

boom!
It was just a collision that lasted only a moment.

Once again, Shi Tianjun deeply experienced the power of the Blood Bird.

Fortunately, having learned from the previous experience, Lord Eclipse was well-prepared for this.

Its other clones arrived in an instant, immediately restricting the Blood Bird's range of movement.

Once the opponent is trapped, the Heavenly Lord of Eclipse has a thousand ways to remove the Soul Jade from their heart.

"Let's see where you run this time!"

Suppressing his inner discomfort, Shi Tianjun gathered Yin and Yang power on his forepaws and easily removed the [Soul Jade].

In an instant, an inexplicable surge of rage welled up from the heart of the Heavenly Lord.

However, having briefly possessed the Soul Jade, the Heavenly Lord of Eclipse strengthened his resolve and was not affected by it.

On the contrary, his power is increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he has traversed thousands of years of growth in an instant.

"How is this going?"

Feeling this sensation that he had never experienced before, Shi Tianjun opened his mouth in slight astonishment.

But then He realized the crux of the problem.

"My escape last time wasn't due to coincidence, but because of this Soul Jade?"

Looking down at the Soul Jade on his claws, and combining that with his experience of being corrupted by the Demon Lord, Lord Shitian immediately understood its true purpose.

"Isn't its true power to bewitch people?"

"Or is it to achieve people's desires in a malicious way?"

Because of his own experiences, Misfortune pays special attention to self-awareness.

Therefore, the Soul Jade fulfilled his wish, allowing him to no longer worry about the splitting of his own will.

But in return, the evil will become domineering and self-centered, growing into the most powerful god in his mind.

In contrast, when Shi Tianjun first possessed the Soul Jade...

With only one thought in mind to leave the Ruins of Return, he accidentally opened a passage to the present world.

However, the opening of the passage also stirred up the resentment of gods and demons, almost causing him to die on the spot.

As for when the Heavenly Lord of Eclipse grasped the Soul Jade for the second time, his thought was to quickly suppress and subdue it.

Then the Soul Jade granted his wish, allowing him to acquire power from a thousand years in advance.

The only problem is that the way the Soul Jade grants wishes is also malicious—it actually enhances the power of the Heavenly Lord as a god.

It should be noted that the Eclipse Lord abandoned the power of the gods and turned to cultivate the path of the celestial beings.

The Soul Jade's actions undoubtedly split his existing power, making him stronger while simultaneously reverting him back to the weak and flawed Tengu he once was.

"Unfortunately, what I currently control is the power to balance Yin and Yang."

"Whether one is a god or a celestial being, it's just a matter of a single thought making a different choice."

It was as if it were confirming his own words.

The power of Yin and Yang surged within Shi Tianjun's body once again.

The millennia-old divine power had no chance to resist and was assimilated by this Yin-Yang force, quickly becoming the Heavenly Law practiced by the Heavenly Lord.

"The cycle of Yin and Yang, good and evil arise from the heart!"

When the Eclipse Lord lowered his head again, he saw the scene below where countless remains of gods and spirits were writhing in agony.

Stimulated by the Eclipse Lord and the Soul Jade, the resentment of the gods hidden in these ruins was fully awakened.

"So what should we do now?"

"Is it to the fourth heaven where the immortal grass is planted?"

"Should we go and rescue the Eclipse Lord who is trapped in the Eighth Heaven first?"

After a moment of silence, Qingniao glanced at Gouxing's corpse and asked.

Based on their memories of observing the Hook Star, the three present had basically grasped the general situation of the Heavenly Emperor's Capital.

This naturally includes the location of the various ruins after the fall of the Nine Heavens, and whether there are any dangers among them.

"That stupid dog has been trapped for so many years, it shouldn't be much of a difference if it stays trapped for a little while longer."

"Let's go to the fourth heaven first!"

"After all, the sooner we find the immortal grass, the sooner we can refine the immortal elixir and completely solve your problem."

Upon hearing this, Qingniao immediately turned to look at Xiluo in astonishment.

If Li Boyang had said these words, Qingniao would certainly not have been so surprised.

But when these words came out of Xi Luo's mouth, Qing Niao couldn't help but feel like the sun had risen in the west.

"Don't look at me so surprised, I'm not stupid."

"Ever since I learned that you are the last descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, I have understood that you must have had a ulterior motive for coming here this time."

Clearly disliking Qingniao's look of disdain, Xiluo grinned at him irritably.

“You’re not the kind of person who gets hung up on your past.”

"Given your personality, there's no way you would risk coming to the capital of the Heavenly Emperor just to investigate your origins."

"Moreover, don't forget that when you went berserk in the South China Sea, it was I who used the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' to help you."

“I knew from that time on that there was an uncontrollable power lurking within you.”

When she said this, Xiluo's voice paused slightly.

"That must be the power of the Golden Crow! How could you have kept it so well hidden!"

"The Golden Crow is a divine bird formed from the essence of the sun ten thousand years ago, and it is not a deity of our time."

"In addition to the aftereffects of 'Wu Yi Shoots the Sky,' it will be no easy task for you to control that power."

Before Xi Luo could gloat for even two seconds, Li Boyang, oblivious to her tact, thwarted her plan.

"After all that talk, wasn't it only through my reminders that these clues were finally pieced together?"

"Besides, do you really think the elixir of immortality is a panacea? You want to rely on it to solve every problem?"

"Let's not even talk about whether I'll be able to concoct the elixir of immortality in the end..."

"The problems Qingniao is currently facing can actually be solved without the elixir of immortality."

As soon as Li Boyang said this, Xi Luo and Qingniao turned their gazes to him simultaneously.

"Have you seen the corpse of Hook Star?"

"She is the genuine daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, and possesses an immortal body after consuming the Immortal Herb."

"With her around, wouldn't solving Qingniao's problems be a piece of cake?"
