I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 119 The True Undying Demon

early morning.

Light appeared on the horizon.

Li Jun watched the sun rise on the eastern horizon of the earth, and at this moment, everything in the Mountain and Sea Realm was also "revolving" around the Golden Crow.

While peace reigned on Earth, a fierce battle between good and evil was raging in the Mountain and Sea Realm, centered around the Golden Crow.

Currently, the Mountain and Sea Realm is in a phase of decline for the Dao and rise for the Demons. The intensity of the confrontation between the two sides is measured in seconds, with each second becoming more intense than the last, at least in Li Jun's eyes.

Around Buzhou Mountain.

Shamans, Qi cultivators, alchemists, Buddhists, and Taoists—cultivators from all walks of life—have emerged here. Now, tens of millions of sects have been born here. They come from all regions of the Great Wilderness, yet they have gathered together to fight against the same enemy.

On the "Demonic Path" side, what caught Li Jun's attention was not the large-scale emergence of fourth-stage extraordinary individuals, or the fact that some had touched upon the fifth stage, but rather the fusion of technology and the extraordinary.

"Transformed into ghosts and gods!"

"Things created from Nuwa's intestines are actually more suitable for them to use."

Li Jun saw tens of thousands of first-stage extraordinary individuals connecting their specially made magical artifacts as parts to create large-scale second-stage combined magical artifacts.

Although it looked somewhat retro, Li Jun saw missile-shaped flying swords, airplane-like phoenixes, and something that looked like a mecha, covered by a shell resembling the law of heaven and earth.

then.

They placed these combined magical artifacts on various mountain and sea kingdoms, resembling ships, towers, buildings, islands, mountains, and so on, and sailed over. Each mountain and sea kingdom was a large superhuman combat group.

And this is only for the lower-level combat units.

The fourth-stage "extraterrestrial demons" that Li Jun saw integrated ghosts and gods with computers, hanging in the sky like satellites, remotely controlling the mountain and sea kingdoms below, calculating the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the native cultivators of the mountain and sea kingdoms below, and carrying out targeted killings of the cultivators of the mountain and sea kingdoms below.

Even more outrageous are those extraordinary individuals who have already entered or touched upon the power of the fifth stage.

Li Jun's gaze pierced through a world and fell upon it, where he saw these people radiating their power from high above the Gangtian through those "satellites," and then creating an area below that their Great Dao Laws could influence and control.

You can't see them, but they twist the rules in the shadows, causing the enemy to fall below without knowing why, and then die without realizing it.

A few fifth-stage extraordinary beings seized a large amount of resources from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and even seized the Demon God, which eventually gave birth to this thing.

"Transformed into a demon."

Everything in Li Jun's eyes was accelerating, but all the changes below were measured in days, months, and years.

More and more cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm gathered during the war between good and evil, fighting their way up from Buzhou Mountain to the heavens, their target being the Golden Crow in the sky.

"Golden Crow!"

"That is the foundation of the extraterrestrial demon's grand formation in our world. We must take it down, or the world will never have peace."

"The calamity of demons has arrived!"

Li Jun watched as many of the cultivators from the Great Wilderness below had already attacked the area around the Golden Crow, but he was not worried. Although he had not intervened in the combat, the humans on Earth had already begun a comprehensive deployment.

Cultivators in the Great Wilderness are rushing madly toward Buzhou Mountain and the Golden Crow, but the "Extraterrestrial Demons" are spreading throughout the Great Wilderness, constantly attacking and seizing territory.

The world of mountains and seas calls this an era of the decline of Tao and the rise of demons, and this is why.

now.

If they cannot capture the Golden Crow, and then capture the Moon Goddess Changxi, they will block the entrance for the Heavenly Demon to enter this world.

Next, they will completely collapse.

At that point, it won't be about using projection to plunder the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm as Li Jun had previously mentioned; instead, they will completely conquer the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.

Those lower-level deities had laid out a grand scheme spanning millennia, hoping to ascend from the lower realms in a single day. They seemed to have victory firmly in their grasp before, but if things continue at this pace, they might find themselves in a completely hopeless situation when they finally ascend.

However, Li Jun believed that those people would definitely not sit idly by and watch the situation unfold.

Although they cannot send all the gods up yet, Li Jun believes that sending a batch of real gods up is not a big problem.

Sure enough, as things went wrong in various parts of the Great Wilderness, several ancient kingdoms of mountains and seas, which had been passed down from the oldest era, began to shine.

A batch of celestial artifacts emitted a burst of light that shot into the sky. The shadows of ghosts, gods, and demons twisted between heaven and earth. A large number of powerful shadows from the lower levels, capable of manipulating the rules of the universe, accelerated their ascent under the impetus of a force.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

For a moment, Li Jun faintly heard the sound of bells.

Li Jun recognized the sound of the bell; it was the sound of the bell from the celestial realm in the past.

In the realm of mountains and seas, those who possessed double pupils in the cities underwent a sudden transformation. Their appearances changed, and their eyes and souls also changed.

Some elderly people turned into children, some young people turned into adults, and some even turned directly from men into women.

It could be said that they fundamentally became different people.

At this moment, they had truly become "reincarnated" immortals, having been taken over by their opponents and brought back to life in this vast world.

Li Jun immediately looked over, and the First Goddess of Nuwa also noticed.

"Out."

At this moment, Li Jun asked another question: "Is the East China Sea ready?"

The First Nuwa Goddess said, "We are ready. Once Taoshan Island rises to the surface, we can immediately begin the transformation process."

Li Jun said, "It's a pity we didn't find that magical artifact."

The First Goddess Nuwa said, "They should still be down there."

Within the realm of mountains and seas.

A large number of true immortals surfaced, and the situation changed as soon as they arrived. They used their immortal artifacts to manipulate the power of the rules, directly covering a large area.

They simultaneously squeezed into various parts of the Great Wilderness, and the situation of the Dao waning and the demons rising quickly reversed temporarily. Li Jun saw a large number of fifth-stage immortals directly setting up a great formation, and the rules of the Great Dao instantly covered every corner of the Eight Desolations.

For a time, the forces of the "Extraterrestrial Demons" began to retreat continuously, and a stalemate occurred once again.

high places.

Li Jun's gaze swept over the returning immortals one by one, but he didn't see a single familiar face. It seemed that the news he had received earlier might indeed be true.

The immortals of yesteryear perished long ago in those countless calamities of heaven and earth; those who remain now must have been born during the final calamity.

Thinking of this, Li Jun became somewhat less restrained.

At the same time, he became increasingly eager to understand what exactly happened back then.

"Ok?"

"There is one."

As the returning immortals began to roam the realm of mountains and seas, Li Jun spotted a familiar figure—the fox spirit who had disappeared long ago.

Just then, Li Jun was planning to grab one of the immortals and ask him for more information about what had happened in the thousand years since he left.

Since the beginning of the change of time in the Mountain and Sea Realm, more and more relics have emerged, and many past histories and secrets are no longer secrets.

Through these few hours of Earth time, the Great Wilderness has undergone hundreds of years of changes.

Li Jun has figured out some of the details.

For example, after he left, the next Heavenly Emperor was the Earth Mother Nuwa, and then Shennong.

Then there were five more Heavenly Emperors. The last Heavenly Emperor should be the White Emperor. This information was not obtained from the ruins, but was stolen from some "reincarnated gods".

The White Emperor should be hiding in the lower heavens now, watching him and plotting something.

However, compared to this White Emperor, Li Jun was more concerned about something else.

If it is indeed the Emperor's Body that did all this behind the scenes, then he has already initiated six great calamities of heaven and earth and devoured six celestial beings, gods, and Buddhas.

He swallowed immortals, gods, and Buddhas six times. What was his purpose? Was it to seek transcendence?

If that's the case, then the last divine stone didn't end up in the Emperor's hands. So who took it away?

The first name that came to Li Jun's mind was one.

"Queen Mother of the West!"

When Li Jun gave this stone to the Queen Mother of the West, he said that it could be used in a critical moment. At the time, Li Jun was unable to take this divine stone with him and had to leave the ancient world.

Rather than letting it fall into the hands of others, it's better to give it to the Queen Mother of the West.

"If that's the case."

"Perhaps the Emperor's body had a problem back then, and the Queen Mother of the West used the divine stone to obtain the power of the seventh stage."

"And then, what happened next?"

As time passed in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Li Jun seemed to gradually see what happened and the truth of that year.

However, to know more, one naturally needs someone who truly grasps the core secrets. But since the Emperor's Body has devoured six generations of Heavenly Emperors and all the gods and immortals, it is equivalent to erasing history six times. It is indeed quite difficult to know the truth of what happened back then.

However, that White Emperor must know something.

Soon, Li Jun summoned a person, or rather, the "Heavenly Demon Lord" in the eyes of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Li Jun handed over the fox spirit's double pupils and the immortal artifact to them, and then told them to see if they could capture her back.

Although the immortal artifact and the double pupils were given to the person in front of him, the mission was actually issued to all the extraordinary beings in the lower realms of the Mountain and Sea through him.

Li Jun said, "Whoever can capture the other party will have the demon god behind the mask refined from Nuwa's intestines and handed over to him."

"I don't want anything else, I just want this person."

The other party said, "This could directly create a fifth-stage superhuman."

Li Jun told him something: "Don't underestimate it. The power of the nine-tailed fox can influence and control other people's double pupils in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, the other person's expression changed.

He said, "We will do everything we can to catch this fox."

In a sense, this power is an inferior version of the Imperial Body and the Sun Goddess Xihe, but even so, it is still incredibly powerful for the Earth's human side.

At a critical moment, if someone with such power were to intervene and control the opposing deity, it would be enough to turn the tide of the battle, even for a fleeting instant, let alone a moment, altering the fate of a supernatural war spanning thousands of miles, or even the destiny of the entire world.

Then, the person was seen leaving Li Jun's location and heading to a nearby underground facility.

When he was on Earth, he was no different from an ordinary person, but he suddenly fell into the lower realm and went through three layers of barriers controlled by Li Jun: the Heavenly Connection Array, Nuwa's Intestine, and the Yellow Springs.

Upon arriving at the Mountain and Sea Realm, they had already become beings of the fifth stage of immortal godhood.

First Nuwa: "It's not that easy to catch her. The Heavenly Emperor behind you seems to value her quite a bit. If you catch her, aren't you afraid he'll get angry?"

Li Jun said, "It is precisely because we value it that some problems might surface."

"But it doesn't matter if we don't catch it; it has nothing to do with winning or losing."

"That White Emperor is not our enemy; he is merely a being struggling to survive amidst a great calamity."

The First Goddess Nuwa looked at Li Jun and asked a crucial question.

"The Emperor's body isn't in your hands, so why do you act like you're sure you can win?"

"besides."

"If the White Emperor is not our enemy, then who is?"

Li Jun said, "It's not that I'm sure I can win, I'm just sure that the Heavenly Emperor won't win."

The first goddess Nuwa asked, "Why?"

Li Jun said, "Because he regarded me as an enemy."

First Nuwa: "Aren't you his enemy? Or are you his friend?"

The First Nuwa Goddess was even more confused, not understanding what Li Jun was talking about.

While Li Jun was talking, several more battles between immortals and gods broke out in the lower realms. The fox was chased by the extraterrestrial demons to the Northern Underworld to hide, and dared not show itself again.

They failed to capture the fox spirit, but they did manage to capture several real deities who had come up to them.

Li Jun threw them directly into Nuwa's intestines, feeding them to Nuwa's intestines as nourishment, and then extracted all the necessary items.

Rules, power, knowledge, and even some of the memories they wanted to hide were all extracted.
-
The sun rose high in the sky.

Noon. More than six hours have passed since dawn, and another four hundred years have passed in the Mountain and Sea Realm. By calculation, the Mountain and Sea Realm has accelerated by nearly a thousand years, but it seems that nothing has stopped yet.

Based on the latest information, the final time should be more than 1,500 years, but probably not 2,000 years.

Ancient times.

The White Emperor was born within this timeframe.

The four-hundred-year-long great war between good and evil is gradually coming to an end, with the decline of good and the rise of evil gradually ending. As the gods in the lower realms continue to increase their support, the situation on the side of the extraterrestrial demons is also beginning to show some problems.

The evil forces diminished while the Tao prospered.

The cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm have begun their counterattack.

The situation may have really deteriorated to a certain extent, and the original plan has been affected by various factors, which led to a phone call being made to Li Jun.

Upstairs, Li Jun's phone rang. He answered it and the other person started talking about the problem.

He said, "The other side discovered our weakness. Their people can reproduce generation after generation, while the flow of time on our side of the extraterrestrial demons is different, so we can't keep producing new people like they do."

"In this millennium war, we have suffered heavy losses. Too many people have died, and the situation is very unfavorable for us. Many of our original plans may not be able to be completed."

After a moment's hesitation, the other person finally spoke.

"Among them, the struggle for Buzhou Mountain and Taoshan Island, as well as the defense battle on Jinwu Island, also fell into the lower part."

"If this continues, we may have no choice but to abandon our plans on Taoshan Island."

"The secrets on the Golden Crow's side may also be about to be exposed."

Over the past four hundred years, the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm have completely changed their strategy. They no longer think about defeating the "Extraterrestrial Demons" in one go, nor do they flock to the battlefield set up above Buzhou Mountain by the "Extraterrestrial Demons" like moths to a flame.

They began to stall, and started employing various individual tactics to lure, strangle, and ambush the extraterrestrial demons.

To wage such a war of attrition.

Even if it costs us our lives, no matter the price, we must ensure that the "extraterrestrial demon" is utterly destroyed.

They already knew a secret: for every extraterrestrial demon they killed, there was one less to be killed.

At least until the time acceleration on their side stops, it will be difficult to replenish the number of "extraterrestrial demons".

Time, which was previously the enemy's weakness, has now been reversed and has become the weakness of humanity on Earth.

However, when faced with the difficult question posed by the person on the other end of the phone, Li Jun gave an answer that initially puzzled the other party.

Li Jun said, "They are not dead."

The other person was stunned: "Who didn't die?"

Li Jun said, "The bodies of those who entered the Mountain and Sea Realm before are still in the underground facilities."

"There are also some people who were trapped in the Mountain and Sea Realm before. Their souls have been erased, but as long as their bodies are with us, they are as good as not dead."

"More than eight billion people in the world live on the ground or underground."

The other person said, "How could you not be dead? Your soul has been scattered. Even if your body is still here, there's no way you'll wake up."

The other person asked Li Jun, "Is there any other way to save them?"

If that's the case, wouldn't that mean they are immortal?
Li Jun asked him, "What is a soul? Did it exist from the beginning?"

As soon as Li Jun said this, the other party quickly understood something: originally, humans on Earth did not have souls. The so-called souls were actually something that was created after the extraordinary era, by using the power of the Yellow Springs to scan a person's entire information.

The other party said, "You mean, after refining the soul, there are deeper aspects of the extraterrestrial demon's cultivation method that can be explored?"

Li Jun said, "It is a method of cultivating oneself through Earth projection."

The other party immediately changed their tune: "Yes, projection cultivation method."

Li Jun continued, “The source of Earth’s power lies in Xihe. It gives us the power to control and manipulate ghosts and demons, as well as the power to change the rules. I, you, and all of us are actually rooted in it.”

"Then there is the power of Nuwa's intestines and the Yellow Springs. They rotate like yin and yang fish, radiating our power."

"The bodies of humans on Earth are connected to Nuwa's intestines. Now they are connected through hibernation chambers created by the power of Nuwa's intestines. In fact, as long as there is no accident on Earth, their bodies can be preserved indefinitely."

"Earth, Nuwa's Intestine, Hibernation Chamber, we are now actually one whole. I started building all of this ten years ago. It has become our indestructible and most important fortress. We are integrated here and share weal and woe."

Having discussed Xihe, we now turn to the power of Nuwa's intestines and their relationship with humanity.

Then, Li Jun started talking about the power of the Yellow Springs.

"The power of the underworld is information; it is our connection with the outside world, and also our channel for interfering with and controlling the outside world."

"To put it simply, it's like our previous network, except this network extends our power to other worlds, and even anywhere."

"This is also the foundation of the Earth Projection Cultivation Method."

"Our bodies are preserved and sealed on Earth where Nuwa's intestines are rooted, while our consciousness, memories, and souls wander in the outside world, constantly acquiring more resources and power."

At this moment, Li Jun's Earth cultivation projection method was being explained by him.

as if.

That's when its true nature was finally revealed.

"The external soul and everything that exists in the outside world, even if it is erased or completely disappeared."

"But as long as Huang Quan brushes a layer over the body, we can, like rewinding a game, brush out the power that was previously stored in the body and inside Nuwa's intestines, and project a soul again."

"Ten years ago, when I refined Xihe, Nuwa's Intestines, and Huangquan, when I opened this path, all humans whose bodies were connected to Earth through Nuwa's Intestines were, in a certain sense, immortal beings."

"As long as your bodies are not killed or disappeared on Earth."

The other party tasted the flavor and understood the true meaning of Li Jun's cultivation method.

"So, our fundamental nature is actually in our bodies, in the bodies that we thought were meaningless and useless before they appeared most vulnerable?"

"The soul is just a shadow of us in the outside world. As long as our bodies are still on Earth, we can create souls infinitely and continuously project them to other places."

"game."

"That's right, games."

"Actually, the soul is not the real us; it's an account we create in different places and at different times in the outside world?"

At this point, the other person became somewhat agitated.

"This is the true cultivation method of the extraterrestrial demons."

For a moment, they forgot what they had said before. Nowadays, many extraordinary beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm have come to accept the name "Extraterrestrial Demon Cultivation Method" after using it so often.

The other person was holding a phone, and although it was just a phone call, they could only hear Li Jun's voice but couldn't see him in person.

But at this moment, he seemed to see a terrifying shadow above the Earth, behind all the "extraterrestrial demons" in terms of combat power.

They tasted Li Jun's true schemes and arrangements for humanity on Earth, as well as a sense of a plan that transcended time and space, and a terrifying feeling akin to mortals seeing gods and demons.

He said, "In a sense, we are already immortal beings?"

"When did you start making these arrangements?"

Li Jun on the other end of the phone said, "It was probably ten years ago!"

The other person seemed to realize something: "When you left Taoshan Island?"

Li Jun said, "Before leaving Taoshan Island."

Ten years ago, Li Jun left the Mountain and Sea Realm and Taoshan Island for Earth.

While they were having a blast in the realm of mountains and seas, they fell into the trap set by the ancient immortals and gods.

Just when they thought Li Jun was a relic of the past, that he had left this place of sorrow and gone to the universe or deep space.

Li Jun travels and walks on Earth, measuring the entire world with his footsteps, gradually transforming Earth into, or rather, planning to transform Earth's civilization and all of humanity into a true mythical civilization.

The arrival of the extraordinary era is irreversible; humanity can no longer go back to the past. But since that's the case, let's move forward!

Li Jun didn't care what the person on the other end of the phone thought, or how shocked they were by his design for the future. He continued.

"I will now begin the soul reforging process. All humans whose bodies are still on Earth will be connected to the Yellow Springs through Nuwa's Intestines, and their souls will be condensed and sent to the Mountain and Sea Realm once again."

"You will be back to your peak condition in an instant. Will you be able to take Taoshan Island this time?"

Li Jun wasn't particularly concerned about Jinwu.

However, for Li Jun, Taoshan Island was of paramount importance, and he was determined to take it back no matter what.

The other party said, "We will put all our resources into this at once and take Taoshan Island at any cost. The other party will definitely not be able to react in time."

Li Jun said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Then hung up the phone.

Subsequently.

Then they saw the Yellow Springs churning up giant waves, flowing through the bodies of every human being in an illusory form from the Earth's interior.

One by one, the shadows reappeared, returning to the underworld.

They floated above the underworld in disbelief, looking at the other people who had "resurrected."

"Yellow Spring?"

"what happened?"

How did I suddenly end up here?

But then, with another swirling motion from the underworld, they returned to their real bodies.

The whole world was in an uproar. Seeing those figures who had come back from the dead, everyone learned that the "Heavenly Demon Cultivation Method" was about immortality and was completely excited.

After all, what news could be more exciting than knowing that you won't die?

"Di Jun, that one truly deserves to be the reincarnation of the most ancient Heavenly Emperor!"

"We're not going to die?"

"Why didn't you say it before?"

"It seems to be to mislead the Mountain and Sea Realm, and also to obtain more information and intelligence. I heard there is a very important plan coming up."

"How can the people from the Mountain and Sea Realm possibly win? We're immortal here!"

The gate base also became lively for a while, with many resurrected people emerging from underground to celebrate and cheer with the people around them.

The importance of the physical body has once again become paramount, even arguably the most valued thing for humanity on Earth.

This caused some of the earliest superhumans—those who had given up their physical bodies and were brought back to live in the lower realms of the mortal world, doing some work of connecting the two worlds—to deeply regret their actions.

Actually, there are solutions, and some people have started thinking about reshaping their physical bodies.

Since then.

Since the advent of the extraordinary era, human civilization on Earth seems to have gone through one stage after another in its understanding of extraordinary powers and cultivation methods.

The state of seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, and seeing a mountain as a mountain again.

The Earth-based practitioners initially considered Earth their home, then traveled to the Mountain and Sea Realm, believing it to be their new era's home, before finally returning to Earth, their homeland, after suffering severe damage.

The same applies to the body; at first, they find it difficult to forget their human nature.

Then, generation after generation of humans on Earth entered the Mountain and Sea Realm in the form of "extraterrestrial demons." Hundreds or thousands of years passed, and they gradually came to believe that the form of civilization had begun to change, and that they were a completely new form of civilization, similar to souls.

Now, as a large number of "Heavenly Demons" are scattered and then resurrected, they have finally realized one thing: the importance of the human form and physical body on Earth to them.

It seems like everything has returned to normal, but after going through this cycle, everyone has changed.

Just as Li Jun finished refining his soul, the Human Alliance on Earth immediately issued a notice, summoning all extraordinary beings and people with souls.

"Begin a full-scale attack on the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"Target!"

"Buzhou Mountain!"

This time, they want to show those "righteous" people the terror of a truly immortal demon.
