Chapter 313 [The Emperor is dead, who is alive? ]
"My Lord, it's urgent. A great figure from the Western Desert Buddhist Sect has arrived!"
Xia Yiming, the prince of Daxia, rushed into a palace and saluted an old man wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown, shining with light and extremely powerful, and said, "The Holy Lord Tianxuan, who brought the news of the Emperor Ancestor earlier, is also here."
"Yiming, those who achieve great things must be calm. How can you be so impetuous? I will hand over the empire to you in the future."
The Great Xia Emperor was majestic and wore a nine-dragon crown. He said calmly, "So what if he is a big figure in Buddhism? Our dynasty has its own foundation. Have you asked clearly? Which Buddha is this?"
"The emperor is right." Prince Xia Yiming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I don't know the Buddha who came, but I know that the one who cleared the way for him is the Fighting Buddha, the master of the Thunder Sound Temple on Mount Xumi."
"What? He's even more powerful than the Fighting Buddha!"
The Great Xia Emperor no longer had the indifference to teach his juniors a lesson. He rushed into the ancestral hall deeper inside like a golden dragon shadow, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Go and invite the emperor's grandson to be born!"
In just a moment, an old Monkey King, emitting a smell of decay, walked out tremblingly. He was already in his twilight years and did not have much time left to live.
The Great Xia Emperor did not dare to show the slightest disrespect, because this was the fourth generation grandson of the Taihuang, a great sage at the peak of the Ninth Heaven, who had even seen the Taihuang Emperor with his own eyes more than 100,000 years ago and was the ancestor of all the lineages of the current dynasty.
"The Quasi-Emperor has arrived..."
The old Great Sage looked towards a certain place in the imperial territory, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he murmured, "This life hasn't even started yet, how could there be such a person?"
"Ancestor." The Great Xia Emperor's eyelids jumped, and he asked fearfully, "Is there something wrong with that Buddhist master? Should we use the Great Emperor Sword?"
If a war breaks out next, it will probably be an unparalleled catastrophe and even Zhongzhou will be sunk.
"Buddhism also has imperial weapons." The old Great Saint, whose life span was not long, had a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. The years had brought him more than just strength. He whispered, "First, courtesy, then force."
"Good, good! Since the donor has good causes, he will surely receive good results."
A peaceful voice sounded, making the old Great Sage's scalp tingle. This Buddhist quasi-emperor was unfathomable. If one wanted to kill him, he might not need the imperial weapon.
The voice of Sakyamuni echoed in the ocean of the soul: "You can come to the Qishi Mansion for a gathering."
After joint research by several major forces including Heaven, Buddhism, and the Great Xia Dynasty, and the joint efforts of Grandmaster of Archaeology Duan De and Heavenly Master Ye Fan, the location of the Zhongzhou Immortal Palace has been calculated.
Just behind the mountain of Qi Shi Mansion, there is a special force that selects the best people from the five regions and takes them to the path of emperor. It has an extremely profound foundation.
Perhaps in ancient times, there was an almighty powerful being who discovered the world of immortals and built the Palace of Strange Men there to recruit heroes from all over the world.
Great Sage Wei Yi, Great Sage of Great Xia, Sakyamuni, Fighting Buddha, Lin Xian, Ye Fan, Emperor of Great Xia, looked down at the mountains and the land, and saw that in the back mountain, there was an immortal cave with auspicious air rising into the sky, dragon veins circling, and tens of thousands of purple dragons breathing in and out immortal air.
There are red cliffs with strange rocks, a solitary Qilin, flying phoenixes, and purple mist. On the cliffs, there are magical herbs that have been growing for thousands of years, and fairy fungus grows beside the ancient trees.
All of this should have been prepared for future generations of great people and should not have been born today.
However, the Great Sage Quasi-Emperor came with the imperial soldiers. All the restrictions, time, and formations were a joke. The saints broke through them directly with extremely high efficiency.
Only the Great Xia Emperor was left to negotiate with the Master of Qishi Mansion who had hurried over.
The light faded away, and a primitive world appeared before his eyes. Lin Xian sensed the breath in it, and his eyelids suddenly twitched. It was extremely wild and ancient. Even the laws of the universe and the vitality of heaven and earth were different.
It feels a bit like the chaotic ancient times, or maybe even the immortal ancient times.
"This is the place." Ye Fan muttered, and took out a map he picked up from Duan De. After confidently identifying it, he finally determined a direction and thought seriously: "It will take some time to figure it out."
"Don't waste time, let me do it."
The old Great Sage of Da Xia, who was about to die, spoke in a deep voice, brandished the Taihuang Sword, and slashed out with the imperial dragon energy that was said to have the power to kill immortals and be comparable to the sacred fighting method, with real power to destroy the world.
Except for Sakyamuni, everyone's face changed color. The Great Sage Wei Yi and the old monkey were both thinking deeply about whether they could withstand this attack without the imperial weapons.
"Rumble..."
A huge hole was instantly pierced through the Zhongzhou Immortal Palace. All the beast kings and threats turned into dust. The only thing that remained indestructible under the imperial army was the cave left behind by the Immortal Emperor.
Great strength can bring about miracles. Although this is unreasonable, it is very powerful.
There is nothing that an old Monkey King with a short life span + a mouthful of Imperial Weapon can't solve. If that doesn't work, just add a few more Imperial Weapons.
The cave left behind by the Immortal Emperor is filled with rare treasures, most of which have been broken into pieces over the years and lost their divinity.
The most precious are six ancient medicinal herbs that are at least 80,000 years old. Each one can extend life by 400 years. The six together are almost equivalent to one-third of the elixir of immortality.
At this moment, even the old Great Sage of Da Xia was stunned for a moment, and his anxious steps paused. He picked a herb that could extend his life by 400 years, and could protect the future generations of the Da Xia Dynasty for a while longer. It was a great fortune.
As he absorbed the fragrance of the King of Medicine, the rotten corpse aura on the old Monkey King’s body dissipated a little.
The rest of the people also picked one each. This kind of medicine is second only to the elixir of immortality. It can be used even to overcome the imperial tribulation in the future. It is extremely precious.
"The Immortal Emperor has committed many evil deeds and owes an endless blood debt. We will collect some interest today."
Lin Xian muttered to himself, scraped the ground three feet deep, collected the medicinal mud in the medicine field, and put it into his own Lunhai Secret Realm.
These are not simply sacred soils, but ancient medicinal kings that rotted away countless years ago. The six plants in the field are their descendants. They are truly fallen petals, not heartless things, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers.
For Lin Xian, these medicinal muds are more precious than a large medicinal plant, and can enhance the growth of the elixir of immortality.
“Even if it is the King of Medicine, it can’t last long.” Great Sage Wei Yi shook his head and sighed, “Ancient medicines that have grown to 80,000 or 90,000 years old can be crowned with the word King, but it is difficult for them to survive past the 100,000-year mark.”
"To be precise, 120,000 years is a hurdle." Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and murmured, "If it survives for more than 120,000 years, it will evolve in the direction of a semi-divine medicine. If a semi-divine medicine can go one step further..."
Everyone was stunned. The semi-divine medicine went one step further and turned into the immortality medicine. This was a miracle!
It is comparable to the great achievements of the ancient emperor of heaven in forging the immortal cauldron.
The cauldron can make one immortal, the medicine can make one a god, there is no reason why a human cannot be immortal.
“Is there really a semi-divine medicine in the world?” The Great Sage of the Great Xia Dynasty sighed, his eyes full of loneliness, and shook his head and said, “Even the emperor has passed away, so the King of Medicine’s transformation into a divine medicine may just be a legend.”
“Just because it doesn’t exist in the human world doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist in Kunlun, the land of immortality.” Lin Xian thought to himself and narrowed his eyes. He was on the road to evolving into the immortal realm. If he had a semi-divine medicine as his friend, evolving with him, it could be regarded as the secret of longevity and might be of great help in his becoming an immortal.
If one day the semi-divine medicine can transform into a divine medicine, it will verify the perfection of Lin Xian's Taoist fruit in the fairyland.
Coincidentally, there are two semi-divine medicines on the ancient star, namely Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng.
Lin Xian was extremely excited after eating up the Emperor's Cave completely. Whatever was left behind by the Emperor would not be destroyed by time. Even a flower, a blade of grass, a drop of water, or a tree were good things, so he moved them all away.
After reasoning through all the obstacles, the Great Sage of Daxia looked at the white ground and asked, "Why is the Great Emperor not there? Where is the corpse of the Great Emperor?"
They had moved all the Tianhuang Cave Mansion away, but there was no trace of Taihuang.
"The trouble should end it."
Lin Xian smiled slightly, holding the Dao seal, and began to recite the Sutra of Saving People. Sakyamuni also recited the Mantra of Rebirth. The bronze lamp suppressed the void and led to the mysterious power.
"Ah ah ah..."
From the depths of the endless void, a man of medium build suddenly emerged and roared, seeming to be in great pain. It was the thought of the god.
Although the gods thought that the raincoat was old and the hat was tattered, covering up the true appearance, the old Great Sage of Daxia, who had seen the Great Emperor in the past, burst into tears and choked with despair, saying: "This... This is not the Emperor Ancestor."
Not the Grand Emperor, not the Emperor Ancestor. At this moment, the elder saint felt as if he had died.
Previously, Lin Xian came to the door and asked the Great Xia Dynasty to join the Heavenly Court. Of course, he was intimidated by Sakyamuni Buddha and the emperors behind him.
There was also an extremely huge inducement. Lin Xian showed the Human Emperor Banner and promised that if there were any thoughts of the Great Emperor gods in the Zhongzhou Immortal Palace, he would help him and resurrect like the Taiyin Human Emperor and the Great Saint Body.
Although the hope is slim, there is still a glimmer of hope.
But now the appearance of the Emperor of Heaven's God has shattered the last glimmer of fantasy!
"Immortal Emperor God Nian?"
"How could it be him!"
Lin Xian and his group also changed color, this completely overturned their previous expectations. You have to know that the Immortal Emperor is still alive and is in a confrontation with the Beginningless Emperor. It is almost impossible for the thought of a god to arise.
Moreover, the requirements for the birth of a deity are extremely stringent. It requires supreme achievements, and after death, all living beings must remember it and contribute their wishes to it, before it can be formed.
The Immortal Emperor has the divine body of the Immortal Taoist. In theory, all wishes belong to the Immortal Taoist, which also eliminates the emergence of thoughts of gods.
They went to the Holy Cliff in person and obtained many secrets from the Immortal Taoist. Only then did they guess that the deity of the Zhongzhou Immortal Palace was Taihuang, and even the Human Emperor Banner was prepared.
But the reality is so outrageous, the dead emperor has no thoughts of gods, but the living emperor does.
"why is that?"
Everyone felt a chill all over their body and had an extremely ominous premonition.
Finally, Ye Fan swallowed his saliva, expressed a guess, and murmured: "What if... the Immortal Emperor is already dead?"
The Immortal Emperor is dead?!
The years pass by so long that no one is immune to death. The death of the emperor is not big news.
But, the question is, if the Emperor dies, then who will fight against the Wu Shi Great Emperor? !
The sound of scriptures echoed between heaven and earth, trying to save the emperor from evil thoughts.
"roll!"
The Emperor of Heaven roared, but ran in another direction and disappeared into the void.
"It's a world within a world!"
Sakyamuni was knowledgeable and experienced. He took direct action to break through the space and enter the core area of the last floor.
With a loud noise, endless innate essence surged in like a surging tide, intoxicating Lin Xian and Ye Fan, who had lower cultivation levels, and their ancient holy bodies began to operate automatically.
This piece of heaven and earth is not similar or like, but a real small world from ancient times, possessing such great laws.
The laws of the outside world have changed, and are not suitable for the practice of the Holy Body, so one can only move forward against the will of heaven. But this place is different, it retains all the order and rules of the ancient times, which are in line with the Holy Body.
"This place has a connection with me, Tianxuan." Lin Xian said quietly. He not only had a holy body, but also practiced the immortal realm method. If he could refine this world, it would be of great benefit to him.
The sacred soil of the Tianxuan Holy Land has just disappeared, forming the old ruins. It is just right to take this piece of pure land as the foundation of the new Tianxuan.
"This time, Daxia will only take things related to the Emperor." Right now, the Great Sage of Daxia was not in any mood to seize treasures. He just wanted to quickly determine the status of the Grand Emperor.
Lin Xian looked at the old Monkey King with pity, hoping that he would not be too excited when he met the five-part Taihuang.
The god's thoughts ran wildly all the way, and everyone chased him all the way, and finally came to a place where immortals were buried, a platform thousands of feet high.
An ancient coffin lay across a jade platform thousands of feet high, almost crushing the ancient times.
"Is it the emperor's corpse of our great ancestor?" The Great Sage of Daxia murmured, extremely excited.
However, things went against one's wishes. On the high platform, there was an emperor's coffin made of a enlightenment tea tree, and human skin wrapped in a piece of five-colored divine ice.
The human skin of the Immortal Emperor!
The Sutra of Saving People and the Mantra of Rebirth are specifically used to overcome the thoughts of gods. The evil thoughts of the Emperor gradually disappeared. He was unwilling to accept this, so he knelt in front of the five-colored ice and kowtowed to the dead Emperor. His human skin actually emitted divine light.
The divine light opposed the scripture, causing the Emperor's evil thoughts to gradually solidify. He roared unwillingly, "Borrow..."
"not good!"
Everyone stopped reciting scriptures immediately. If the Emperor's evil thoughts were really pushed to the limit and he summoned the Immortal Emperor's Dao Fruit, it would be no joke.
At first, Lin Xian thought that the Zhongzhou Immortal Palace was under the control of Taihuang God, and there was the Sutra of Salvation, the human-bodied ghost-faced lamp, Sakyamuni, and the bloodline of Taihuang. There would not be any big problem in awakening Taihuang to take up the Human Emperor Banner.
But if the Immortal Emperor returns briefly, the nine heavens and ten earths will explode. Not to mention the Buddha Sakyamuni who is about to attain enlightenment, even Gai Jiuyou, who has attained enlightenment in another way, may not be able to stop him.
The Immortal Emperor in the early ancient times had unprecedented fighting power, comparable to the Emperor.
The sound of the scripture paused, and the god acted as if he had been pardoned, so he rolled up the man’s skin and fled.
"Could it be that the Immortal Emperor shed his old body, died and came back to life, and then gave birth to the divine mind?"
"There is also one inside the Human Emperor's stone coffin of the Sun Saint Emperor. Could it be that the Sun Saint Emperor survived for the third time and still met with the murderous hands of the Heavenly Emperor?"
With all sorts of speculations in mind, Lin Xian and his party came up to observe the imperial coffin.
It was originally used by the Immortal Emperor to bury his body, but was later taken away by the Grand Emperor.
"Why did the ancestors seize the coffin?"
The Great Sage of Daxia was puzzled. Why did he borrow a coffin from a god and bury himself there? This matter made people feel evil and exuded unspeakable weirdness. Why was it so?
If you just want to bury your body, why bother with such tedious procedures?
The ancient coffin was lying horizontally, with a young branch more than half a meter long growing on it. It had existed in the world for millions of years and was still alive and seemed to be still growing.
Lin Xian stroked the coffin of Wudao Tea Tree, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "Can this coffin help with rebirth?"
Ye Fan had learned the secret of immortality from elixirs, and had watched a human-shaped elixirs live out his fourth life. So what about the Immortal Emperor?
When the Emperor came to seize the coffin, perhaps he also saw this point.
In fact, Taihuang had made a breakthrough and gained something in his later years, surpassing his past.
The old Great Sage of Daxia tremblingly lifted the coffin lid. At the bottom of the coffin was an engraving left by the Great Emperor, which was the mark of the Great Dao.
That is a revised version of the Taihuang Sutra, which was sublimated to the utmost by Taihuang based on his original foundation!
The huge dragon on the spine, with its head held high and roaring, is lifelike, as if the Emperor has returned against the will of heaven, spanning the past, present and future.
Everyone stared at the scripture, fascinated.
The Tai Huang Sutra may not be as good as the Tiandi Sutra as a whole, but it can definitely rival all the great emperors in terms of the Transformation to Dragon chapter, including the ruthless Wu Shi and Tiandi Huangdi.
The original imperial dragon energy is comparable to the sacred fighting method, so how powerful will the upgraded version be?
Perhaps, the Emperor has already touched that threshold, and all he needs is the final leap.
At the critical moment of living the third life, there was a sneak attack by the emperor. This plot sounds so familiar.
