"To comprehend the Great Dao amidst life and death—"
Immortal Realm, the Golden Crow Ancient Clan.
Xia Mangqing pondered the words of the original body.
"In that case, there are several plans that can be carried out simultaneously," Xia Mangqing thought to himself. He had a clone, so it wasn't easy for him to truly comprehend the interplay between life and death.
But it is precisely because he has a clone that he can try several methods.
"The Void Immortal Golden Stele should still be in that city, but it still needs Flying Immortal Stones, so we'll have to search for it in the Immortal Realm."
The existence of the Immortal Golden Tablet is associated with some legends. It is said that a super being in the Immortal Realm once obtained an Immortal Golden Tablet in his youth, which contained supreme scriptures. He rose to prominence because of this and eventually became one of the great powers who looked down on the Immortal Realm.
Of course, the Void Immortal Golden Stele that Xia Mangqing cared about did not contain any scriptures, but its value was greater than that of ordinary ancient steles that recorded immortal scriptures; it was an extremely rare treasure.
If the Void Immortal Golden Tablet is activated, cultivators facing it will see another version of themselves, as if they were facing a mirror. This other version of themselves will appear real, with flesh and blood, and will be able to fight against them!
Fighting to the death with another version of yourself is a way to test the limits of your true self, which is quite extraordinary. However, it is certain that the Void Immortal Golden Tablet also has its limits.
But what level he can reach, he will only know after he obtains and unlocks it.
"In addition, the Immortal Realm also has many forbidden zones that can be visited by clones." The Immortal Realm is composed of ancient realms comparable to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It is vast and boundless, with countless forbidden zones. Exploring it should allow one to comprehend the profound mysteries of life and death.
"We can also take a trip to that cage in the Realm of the Void Gods."
Within the Realm of the Void Gods lies a prison of immense power, containing several stone figures imprisoned in a temple, bound by chains. They were once kings of the Immortal Realm!
With his current strength, he should be able to gain something from fighting those creatures.
"Besides that, you can also try to live a second or third life—" Xia Mangqing thought. He felt that to create the ultimate Dao at the fourth level, simply experiencing death was not enough; one also needed to experience rebirth and live a new life, which was the best way.
"The Phoenix Method is just what I need to comprehend."
In that dark prison of the Void God Realm, there is the original precious bone of the phoenix, with complete runes, which can be used to comprehend the Phoenix Law.
In fact, he was not only curious about the Phoenix Law, but also about the Willow God Law. However, the Willow God's whereabouts were currently unknown. Only when the Willow God began its Nirvana and was attacked and killed by the kings of the Immortal Realm would he be able to know its movements clearly.
"It seems there are quite a few places to set up operations in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
Xia Mangqing had an avatar stationed in one of the three thousand states.
Over the years, the reputation of the Three Thousand Dao Alliance has grown increasingly prominent. The number of True One Realm cultivators who have passed the tests and been recognized as official members of the Three Thousand Dao Alliance has exceeded ten million.
Of course, the vast majority of official members are just peripheral members, from various Dao lineages. The core members of the Three Thousand Dao Alliance have just broken through the number of 100,000 at the True One Realm.
But this is still quite good. Looking at the lineages of the three thousand states, which one can directly produce 100,000 True Realm cultivators? Even the former Immortal Palace and Sword Valley couldn't do that.
It is no exaggeration to say that, in terms of the number of experts in the True One Realm alone, the Three Thousand Dao Alliance is the largest in the Three Thousand Provinces.
However, the True One Realm can only be considered basic combat strength. The strength of a sect depends on the number of Heavenly Gods and Sect Leaders, and the Three Thousand Dao Alliance is not strong in this regard.
Fortunately, with Xia Mangqing in charge, no one dared to act recklessly.
"Indestructible".
In the Sinful State, where the Three Thousand Dao Alliance Immortal Palaces are located, a voice spread out, and in an instant, a black and white streak of light flew into one of the immortal palaces.
"Your Majesty."
A figure appeared, none other than Kunpengzi, who could now be called the "Undying Daoist" or the "Grand Elder".
When Xia Mangqing established the Three Thousand Dao Alliance, Kunpengzi was the first to join, and even handed over the Kunpeng Technique. As a result, Xia Mangqing appointed him as the Grand Elder.
Over the past century, Xia Mangqing has often given him guidance, which has greatly increased his cultivation level. He has now reached the peak of the Escape Realm. After accumulating more experience, he can consider breaking through to the Supreme Realm.
"Go and inform the three thousand states that a hundred years from now, I will hold an auction in the Sin State. At that time, a Supreme Pill will be auctioned, as well as many Heavenly God Pills, Void Dao Pills, and so on. If they are interested, they should prepare their treasures to participate."
Xia Mangqing said that with his current alchemy skills, refining these pills would not be difficult. Even the Supreme Pill, he had come up with a perfect way to protect the user through the great tribulation and help them reach the Supreme Realm.
However, the Supreme Pill is an improved version of the World One Heart Pill, and its effects are similar to those of similar pills, as are its drawbacks.
Achieving the Supreme status with the Supreme Pill makes reaching the peak of the Supreme realm no problem, but it is almost impossible to step into the Extreme Supreme realm unless one obtains some amazing fortune.
For example—Xia Mangqing will be able to refine the Heaven-Stealing Life-and-Death Pill later on, and perhaps he can become a true immortal by using the Heaven-Stealing Life-and-Death Pill.
Upon hearing this, Immortal was startled: "Your Majesty, wasn't it said to be held within ten thousand years? And—are those divine pills really going to be sold?"
Xia Mangqing smiled and said, "Undying, don't overthink it. It's just a Supreme Pill. Becoming a Supreme through a pill isn't necessarily a good thing. It's fine to sell it."
"Well... alright, I'll make the arrangements right away."
Immortal thought for a moment and nodded.
He understood, of course, that achieving supreme status through external means would result in a significant difference in strength compared to those beings who truly became supreme through their own efforts, but those beings were still supreme after all.
Throughout the endless years of the Three Thousand Provinces, very few Supreme Beings have emerged. Even those who attained Supreme Being status through elixirs are still Supreme Beings, capable of enabling their clans to rise and become powerful figures in their own right.
Such an opportunity is enough to drive countless sects mad!
Many old monsters, and even other powerful lineages from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, may send their great experts here.
Even those restricted areas might send powerful figures.
Undying yet unknown—this is precisely the effect Xia Mangqing wanted to achieve.
However, there are many sacred things in the world that can make people not only achieve supreme status, but also directly become immortals.
But—those things are ultimately too rare and cannot be replicated.
However, the Supreme Pill is different. If it is successful, Xia Mangqing will become the only Grandmaster of Alchemy in the world. Anyone who dares to attack him will become a great enemy of countless lineages in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Only then will the Three Thousand Dao Alliance truly possess the potential to transcend the Three Thousand Provinces and even the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
A few days later, news of the auction spread throughout the Three Thousand Provinces, causing many sects to boil over and go crazy. Not to mention the Supreme Pill that could make a living being a supreme being, the Heavenly God Pills, Void Dao Pills, and the like alone would make countless living beings fight with all their might for them.
As for the Supreme Pill—it can no longer be called madness. All the various sects, the Heaven-Mending Sect, the Heaven-Intercepting Sect, the Five Elements Mountain, the Celestial Race, the War Race, the Beast Sea, the Golden Crow Race—countless powerful sects, ancient races, and even imperial races have gone completely mad.
This is a chance to become a Supreme Being. Although they had suspected that Xia Mangqing was lying to them, it was still a possibility. If they could really become a Supreme Being with the Supreme Pill, it would all be worth it!
All the major sects are looking forward to it. A hundred years is not a long time for them. The major sects are also preparing and gathering resources and treasures to participate in the auction.
In no time at all, the news spread throughout the Three Thousand Provinces. After all, there were many Daoist lineages from the Nine Heavens in the Three Thousand Provinces. As soon as the news of the auction of the Supreme Pill was released, some Daoist lineages spread the word, and eventually the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths knew about it.
Even Meng Tianzheng inquired about the situation from his clone at the Imperial Pass to confirm the truth.
"Fellow Daoist, is this Supreme Pill difficult to refine? May I purchase some from you separately?" Meng Tianzheng asked, not out of personal desire, but to use the Supreme Pill to strengthen the power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, especially the power of the Imperial Pass.
"Refining it is not difficult, but the materials are too rare. I can guess what you are thinking. Here's what I'll do: I will tell you the materials you need. If you can collect them within a hundred years, I can refine one for every two sets of materials. What do you think?" Xia Mangqing said.
"good!"
Meng Tianzheng did not hesitate. He knew that if a master alchemist helped him refine pills, he would charge several times more for the materials, and sometimes even more than ten times more!
Two sets of materials for one Supreme Pill—Xia Mangqing was already being very kind; he had no reason to refuse.
Xia Mangqing nodded and then told him the quantities of materials needed to refine the Supreme Pill. Of course, the materials were indeed very rare, but with the resources of the various Dao lineages in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they should be able to gather quite a few portions.
After that, he could refine them all at once. As for how much they could gather and who they would choose to use them after refining, that was not something Xia Mangqing should care about.
Of course, Xia Mangqing speculated that most sects would not believe one-sided accounts, even with Meng Tianzheng as a guarantor. They would definitely wait until the first Supreme Pill was sold and the effects were seen before making a decision.
But if you only think about asking him to refine pills at that time, the price won't be two for one.
News of the Dao Alliance Auction spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Many Dao lineages were making preparations, and some powerful figures even crossed realms to arrive in the Three Thousand Provinces, either to compete for the prize or to see if the Supreme Pill truly had such miraculous effects.
As a result, the three thousand states also became lively.
And a century has passed in the same way.
When~
When~
when----
The distant sound of bells echoed throughout the three thousand prefectures.
This is a sinful divine weapon that Xia Mangqing has reforged. He calls it the Chaos Bell, and it is still the supreme weapon of the ultimate path.
"The battle for treasure in the Celestial Palace begins!"
A voice resounded over the land of sin, containing the sound of the Great Dao, resonating with all living beings, faintly conveying supreme truths, as if directly knocking on the gate of immortality, mysterious and unparalleled.
"As expected of someone who slays immortals."
Even beings from the heavens wouldn't dare to act recklessly here. Xia Mangqing is a peerless being capable of slaying remnant immortals and rivaling true immortals. Not to mention them, even visitors from the forbidden zone would show him respect and wouldn't dare to misbehave here.
"All who wish to participate in the treasure hunt will enter the Realm of Myriad Treasures."
The heavenly music returned, and at the same time, rainbow light danced. Fairies descended from the sky, wearing seven-colored flying robes and radiating a hazy, sacred glow, before landing on the rainbow lights.
Those streaks of rainbow light traversed the sky, leading to a void. Many powerful figures at the sect leader level witnessed a treasure realm, vast and boundless, wondrous and extraordinary.
"To open up a new realm, a place to vie for treasures—what a grand gesture!"
Many sect leaders were shocked. There are not many sects in the world that can possess a small world. Although they did not know if this "Ten Thousand Treasures Realm" had anything special about it, the fact that a world was specially opened up just for an auction was truly astonishing.
Just then, a creature soared into the air, stepping on rainbow light and disappearing into the Myriad Treasures Realm. Upon seeing this, powerful figures from all sides rushed into it.
The Myriad Treasures Realm wasn't very vast, as it was only used as a venue for auctions. Therefore, Xia Mangqing opened it up casually. However, the world he opened up contained the profound mysteries of chaos evolving into all things.
Therefore, although this world seems ordinary, it is full of mysteries. Anyone below the Supreme level who can comprehend some of these mysteries will benefit greatly.
"This world—is truly extraordinary."
An old man led a young man here; they were none other than the master and disciple duo from the Supreme Hall—Supreme Hongyuan and Qi Daolin.
Upon entering this realm, Supreme Hongyuan immediately sensed its extraordinary nature. After careful contemplation, he gained some profound insights that greatly inspired him.
As for Qi Daolin, a hundred or two hundred years have passed. With the meticulous nurturing of Supreme Hongyuan, coupled with his own outstanding talent, he has also reached the peak of the Self-Slaying Realm. Although his vision is not as broad as that of Supreme Hongyuan, he has gained some insights and is carefully comprehending them.
Besides him, there were also some extraordinary talents from the heavens who gained insights and were trying to understand the mysteries within.
Time flew by, and Qi Daolin awoke from his enlightenment, having gained many insights. He felt that once he had fully absorbed them, he would be able to break through and enter the realm of Escape One.
A cultivator at the Escape One Realm around two hundred years old is a rare sight throughout the Three Thousand Provinces, not to mention that he was personally instructed by a Supreme Being, and his foundation is extremely profound. Although he is currently fighting against the Escape One Realm cultivator, he can still conquer it. Once he breaks through, his strength will be even greater.
"So many people?!"
Qi Daolin awoke and looked into the Myriad Treasures Realm, deeply moved.
At this moment, there are tens of millions of beings in the Myriad Treasures Realm, located among the mountains and seas of clouds, but the vast majority of them are below the level of sect leader, and they have come to compete for the Heavenly God Pill and the Void Dao Pill.
wow~
One by one, figures appeared—the core members of the Three Thousand Dao Alliance—appearing in all four directions of this world, all wearing robes exuding a chaotic aura, maintaining order here.
Before long, another figure appeared, standing in the center of this world. Above his head hung an ancient bell from which chaotic energy cascaded, possessing unfathomable power.
"Kunpengzi!"
"He's actually hosting the auction?"
"It seems that person values him highly."
Many sect leaders thought to themselves, this is the first time the Three Thousand Dao Alliance has held an auction, and it is even auctioning a divine pill like the Supreme Pill. If the Supreme Pill is indeed effective, this auction will surely shake the heavens and the earth and will be recorded in ancient history.
The immortal who presided over this auction will also be known to countless living beings and lineages, and his name will be known throughout the heavens and the earth.
"Fellow Daoists, welcome to the first auction of our Three Thousand Dao Alliance—" Immortal stood in the void, his voice resounding throughout the realm: "I now declare the auction officially open!"
"The first treasure is—the Celestial Elixir!"
As Immortal spoke, he waved his hand, and pills radiating starlight flew out from the void, then arranged themselves around him, forming a ring.
"There are a total of ten thousand Celestial God Pills. Everyone can start bidding now. After one incense stick's time, the ten thousand highest bidders will win the Celestial God Pills," said Immortal.
Starting with the Celestial God Pill was actually a way to set an example for all living beings. He was certain that as soon as they obtained the pill, some living beings would consume it. Once those who consumed it became Celestial Gods, the bidding for such pills would be even more frenzied in subsequent auctions.
