I forge immortality with a pagoda.

Shen Yu focused intently on the strange characters, which suddenly changed countless times in an instant, making him feel dizzy.

"What kind of script is this? I've never seen it before."

Shen Yu looked at Cui Youxin across from him with a puzzled expression and asked him this question.

Cui Youxin quickly replied, "Your Excellency, according to the notes left behind by that deceased senior, this text is an ancient immortal text passed down from the Primordial Era."

"Ancient fantasy text!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu's heart trembled.

Although he did not recognize the text, he had heard about its origin from Daoist Yunhui.

In the ancient times, the human race was weak, while the demon race and the monster race dominated the world. Relying on their innate supernatural powers and strong physiques, the demon and monster races wantonly devoured humans.

In an instant, humanity suffered immense devastation, blood stained the land, and the bloodline was nearly severed.

Until the ancient times, the ancestors of humankind, through arduous struggle and overcoming numerous obstacles, finally glimpsed the mysteries of heaven and earth and created the lineage of immortals.

From this point on, humanity rose to prominence, and a glorious era began.

During this period, the ancient sages of the human race observed the principles of the operation of heaven and earth and the mechanisms of the changes of yin and yang. They created an ancient immortal script that carried the supreme and profound Dao, specifically for recording the various cultivation methods created by the geniuses of the human race.

It can be said that it is precisely through this ancient immortal script that the human race has been able to unite and pass on its heritage, allowing the seeds of civilization to be sown, and thus establishing the foundation for its current prosperity.

However, prosperity inevitably leads to decline, and even the universe undergoes countless eons.

In later generations, an immeasurable calamity swept across all races. Powerful beings such as demon kings, demon lords, and even immortal golden immortals of the human race perished in the calamity. Countless lineages were uprooted, and their inheritance was almost severed.

Ancient immortal scripts, such treasures that embody the wisdom of humankind, were also submerged in the long river of time, leaving only scattered fragments scattered throughout the mortal world.

Later, all living things, relying on the fragments of wisdom left by the ancient sages, rekindled the flame of Tao, and the paths of immortality, demonism, divinity, and martial arts sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, bursting with vitality.

The conflict among the Thirty-Six Great Heavens has reignited, with war raging on and the former racial disputes gradually evolving into a struggle for lineage.

In order to surpass the paths of gods, martial arts, demons, and humans, the immortal cultivators united and established the Immortal Court.

The first Celestial Emperor was the Jade Emperor. He used the Six Great Heavens as his foundation and with immense power, he created the Three Pure Realms, established rules and laws, and unified the universe.

The ancient immortal texts also resurfaced in the Heavenly Court and were supplemented, but their true meaning was worlds apart from that of the Primordial Era.

Legend has it that this text can encompass all the information in the vast ocean with just one word. Even with thousands of words in modern writing, it is difficult to match the profound mystery of this single word. It can be said to be all-encompassing and infinitely mysterious.

Of course, learning this script is quite difficult, and each character takes a long time to master.

Shen Yu's heart was filled with turmoil, and a hundred thoughts were running through his mind in an instant.

Since this technique is recorded in ancient immortal script, it must undoubtedly be a relic of the ancient Heavenly Court. However, the reason why it fell into Cui Youxin's hands is probably not as simple as he said.

What Choi Yoo-shin described earlier is certainly not the whole story.

Seeing Shen Yu's changing expression, Cui Youxin cautiously spoke: "Your Excellency, this immortal script is extremely profound, with a thousand meanings in a single word. Fortunately, I have studied it diligently for many years and have a slight understanding of its true meaning. If Your Excellency does not mind, I am willing to impart all my knowledge to you."

Shen Yu's eyes turned cold. "Don't think that you can save your life with this. This technique is good, but I'm not in a hurry to learn it. When I travel through the heavens in the future, I may find a cultivator who understands this text."

Seeing that Shen Yu remained unmoved, Cui Youxin gave an awkward smile and dared not say anything more.

Shen Yu carefully put away the gold paper, then asked again, "Since this ancient immortal script is so profound, how did you learn it?"

"When I received this inheritance, the senior left behind three volumes of notes."

"I secluded myself in that cave for several years, meditating day and night, and only then could I barely recognize a thousand or so characters."

Shen Yu sneered and said, "Presumably, you have already destroyed that notebook."

Cui Youxin's expression stiffened slightly as he said, "Your Highness's eyes are indeed sharp; it is so. However, I dare to swear on my Dao heart that I have memorized the entire content. As long as Your Highness allows me to follow you, I will be able to impart this method to you in its entirety sooner or later."

Shen Yu remained silent, lost in thought.

Although he disliked being coerced, he truly had no better option at the moment.

The Secret Technique of Returning to the Origin of the Talisman is extremely profound. If you miss it now, you don't know how long you will have to wait for another opportunity.

Moreover, he was indeed unfamiliar with the art of soul searching. If he were to kill Cui Youxin, this secret technique would likely be lost forever.

After a moment's thought, Shen Yu said, "There is really no other way right now, but I really can't feel at ease keeping you by my side like this."

Upon hearing this, Cui Youxin panicked and blurted out, "If the Supreme One is still worried, we can sign a blood pact!"

After saying this, Cui Youxin regretted it. Once the blood pact was established, his life and death would be entirely in Shen Yu's hands.

Shen Yu made a quick decision, "Alright! We'll do as you say!"

The two immediately used their blood essence as a bond to swear an oath.

As the last rune disappeared into his brow, Cui Youxin felt an invisible shackle placed upon his soul, establishing a mysterious connection with Shen Yu.

Just then, a loud rumbling sound came from behind them, and the earth trembled.

The ancient vine demon, which had been left far behind, finally caught up.

Thousands of vines, like flying arrows and sharp blades, swept in, covering the sky and the earth, dense and impenetrable.

Cui Youxin was horrified. He and Liu Peng had been able to trap the demon earlier because they had taken the initiative and set up the Eight Directions Fire Formation first, using firepower to suppress it.

At this moment, the ancient vine demon was enraged and became even more aggressive. It was impossible for it to repeat its previous actions.

Almost instinctively, Choi Yoo-shin took a step back, about to flee.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had signed a blood pact with Shen Yu. If Shen Yu died, even if he managed to survive the ancient vine demon, he would be punished by the heavens and be reduced to ashes.

Seeing that Shen Yu had no intention of fleeing, he gritted his teeth and stood still, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shen Yu.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and observed for only three breaths before the Spirit Cry Sword transformed into a streak of light and suddenly shot out, fiercely slashing at the overwhelming vines and branches.

The flying sword shone brightly, moving nimbly like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Its speed was incredibly fast, and with each turn, it shredded the large clump of vines into pieces, scattering the emerald sap like rain.

In an instant, half of the ancient vine demon's branches were cut off and fell to the ground, its attack broken.

At this moment, a wide-open passage has been formed between the two sides.

With a thought, Shen Yu released a small portion of the Primordial Profound Truth, which clung to the Spirit Cry Sword.

A clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded through the sky, the sound waves causing Cui Youxin's blood to surge and his ears to be covered in a panic.

Then an unparalleled sword light swept across the sky, like a rainbow piercing the sun, and struck the main trunk of the ancient demon.
