Born with immortal seed

Chapter 886 Tribulation Body

The first ancestor of the Xue clan was rewarded for his merit in driving the chariot for the Heavenly Emperor, and was granted the blessed land of Qingdu and appointed as Guangyin Lang.

Bathed in the radiance of the Heavenly Emperor and listening to the teachings of the Holy Voice, he grew from a minor cultivator to a powerful being at the Integration Stage.

Even after the Heavenly Emperor disappeared, Xue Shi became the spokesperson for the Great Dao of Time in the Earthly Immortal Realm for a long time.

The mere sight of the Time-Traveling Divine Power immediately brings to mind the Qingdu Xue Clan.

For so many millennia, the Xue clan has never produced a true Yin body, only using a few treasures left by the Heavenly Emperor to control the divine powers of time.

Or, by falsely claiming rare treasures, one may gain the qualification to cultivate the supernatural power of time.

Such people are called pseudo-apocrine bodies.

But what he saw at this moment was not the so-called incomplete physical bodies of the Daoist court, clumsily cultivating the divine power of time.

A phantom river filled the cave, the sound of water colliding, and the pure and intense essence of time caused a noticeable difference in the speed of time passing between the middle-aged man in the green robe and his surroundings.

This is clearly the foundation of all the great supernatural powers of time: the river of time!
The image that generations of Xue clan members have dreamed of—perfectly controlling the river of time—has appeared in this person, so it's quite normal to associate him with that great man.

The Heavenly Emperor traversed time, unified the Nine Realms, and suppressed all races.

In the same way, by controlling the long river of time, all dissenters will be eliminated.

The middle-aged man in the green robe was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet he was able to severely injure Kong Wen and repel Xue Zhongru in one fell swoop. His control over the true meaning of time left even Kong Wen speechless.

Even if he took out the two most treasured heirlooms of the Heavenly Emperor from the Xue family, he might not be able to do this.

But how could a true primordial being suddenly appear in the Immortal Realm, as if it had sprung out of a stone?

'The Heavenly Emperor has been reincarnated… no, he has undergone tribulation in his body; one of his incarnations has awakened!'

Xue Wugao snapped out of his shock, his face remaining impassive, but he had already seized the Flicking Beauty Talisman.

Every member of the Xue clan firmly believes that the Heavenly Emperor could not have fallen into a long slumber close to his demise or transcended this world.

Most likely, he was injured during the battle with the sacred beast Azure Dragon and went into hiding in a state that ordinary cultivators cannot understand.

Since the original self still exists, there is no question of reincarnation.

Judging from the notes left by the first ancestor of the Xue clan, the Heavenly Emperor's strength was not fixed after entering the Mahayana stage, and there was no room for further improvement.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Emperor's progress is faster than ever before, and he is twice as strong every moment as he was the previous one.

Every breath and every meditation session represents a leap forward in spiritual growth.

Later on, he began to explore along the river of time, refining and retrieving all projections of his past and future selves.

Each time you refine yourself across different timelines, the Great Dao of Time will multiply.

Before engaging the Azure Dragon, the Heavenly Emperor had already almost completely closed the timeline.

This means that he will never be weak, either in the past or in the future.

Even if he suffers severe injuries, he can be endured by the Heavenly Emperor from other timelines.

As the oldest of the true spirits in the Heavenly Demon Realm, the Azure Dragon's strength is clearly beyond imagination.

It is highly likely that the Heavenly Emperors in countless timelines have all fallen into a deep sleep, and the Azure Dragon has also paid a heavy price, or even more.

Then the contingency plans that the Heavenly Emperor made before setting out to conquer Tianyuan will begin to take effect.

That is the body that has undergone three thousand tribulations!

The Great Dao of Time will automatically find the beings most in line with the nature of time in the Nine Realms of the Immortal Realm, the Three Thousand Heavenly Worlds, and countless lower universes, and establish a connection with them in the dark to help them grow rapidly.

Once they reach the point of fusion, they will have the opportunity to create fluctuations in their collision with the origin of the world, thus awakening the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if the chosen one fails, when this body that has undergone tribulation passes away and its spirit disperses into the world, it will still follow its instincts, travel through the world for hundreds of years, and then merge back into its original body.

The same method involved pouring sweet dew into the sleeping Heavenly Emperor, hoping to bring him back soon.

According to Xue's records, after the Heavenly Emperor disappeared, there were at least twenty or thirty people who had undergone tribulation, and nearly half of them became Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

But he's the first one to expose himself with such a low level of cultivation.

'He must be a being who has undergone tribulation, and it seems he comes from a small, insignificant sect, which is why his reputation hasn't spread outside...'

Xue Wugao knew very well that, apart from those that were too ancient to be verified, all the Guangyin bodies that appeared in the Earthly Immortal Realm were the Heavenly Emperor's bodies undergoing tribulations.

The first decision must be made immediately: we must do everything we can to help the middle-aged man in the green robe.

The honor and disgrace of the Xue clan were closely related to the Heavenly Emperor, or rather, they were strictly dependent on the Heavenly Emperor for their existence.

Once the Heavenly Emperor awakens and returns, the status of the Qingdu Xue clan will rise dramatically, and no other surname in the world can compare with it.

As a direct descendant, the probability of advancing to the Fusion Realm is not guaranteed, but it is at least several times higher.

Thinking about it, it's about time.

Even the most severe injuries will eventually show some effect thanks to the tireless efforts of those who have endured the trials.

The imperial carriage hidden in the blessed land of Qingdu has been covered in dust for many years, but recently it has shown unusual activity several times, as if it is also excited about the imminent return of the Heavenly Emperor.

'This person cannot be allowed to die. Only upon reaching the fusion stage will he have the chance to summon the Heavenly Emperor. If he perishes midway, he will merely become ordinary nourishment.'

Thinking of this, Xue Wugao slightly spread his ten fingers and flicked out the Beauty Charm.

To Xue Zhongru's astonishment, the true essence he had just gathered melted away like snowflakes in spring water.

A few wisps of breeze swirled around, and the Samadhi Divine Wind thus fell silent.

……

This 'Bai Zichen' already looked mature, full of wisdom and experience, and now his temples are covered with large patches of gray hair.

It wasn't that I didn't want to press my advantage and completely suppress my opponents; it was just that this avatar was about to give out.

Outwardly, he appears only as sallow-faced and weak, but only he knows that inside he is like a piece of porcelain riddled with cracks, which would crumble at the slightest touch.

Qingxiao Jinghua's expertise lies in arithmetic deduction and strategic planning, which has nothing to do with the Dao of Time.

The supernatural powers of time and space inherent in the original body could not possibly be inherited.

However, Bai Zichen not only followed the path of his predecessors in cultivating the Primordial Three Realms Incarnation Technique, but also incorporated his own insights.

Especially after discovering that the true self could separate supernatural powers and even cultivation techniques, transfer them to an avatar for cultivation, and switch back and forth, a bold idea came to him.

Qingxiao Jing's incarnation cannot cultivate the Time Divine Power; it is merely borrowed.

Drawing inspiration from the forbidden techniques of the "Connecting Machines" method, and using the separation of divine thoughts to possess the body, a special ability was developed that allows the clone to temporarily possess the divine powers of the original body.

It went so smoothly that I couldn't believe it; such a wildly imaginative idea actually worked.

It can only be said that the mysterious Dao Body is still exerting its power.

However, achieving this is not easy; those at the Nascent Soul stage must pay the price of having their cultivation level reduced by at least one level.

Bai Zichen's breathing was heavy at the moment, and his cultivation level was becoming unstable.

As it turns out, having a backup plan before setting off was very necessary.

The Time-Traveling Divine Power transferred from my original body played a significant role; otherwise, I would certainly have missed out on the Soul-Slaying Mushroom.

The game board is then manipulated again, creating chaos and entanglement of ingenuity. In the final move, strength will still prevail.

"Without understanding the Great Dao and comprehending its true meaning, directly activating the Time Divine Power has resulted in such a scene... Unlike the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, it can still age people with every strike."

This feeling is quite strange, like a toddler holding a heavy object, feeling like they might fall at any moment.

Bai Zichen took a deep breath, intending to forcefully activate the true meaning of time and unleash the sword light again, to completely defeat that fat cultivator first.

As for the last person, he remained silent, not as if he wanted to play the role of the predator, giving the impression of being detached from the situation.

We can let it go for now and deal with it last.

call out!
A cold, beautiful light unexpectedly shot out, not aimed at Bai Zichen, but at Xue Zhongru, who was working with Xue Wugao.

It can be clearly observed that under the illumination of the talisman light, this space is divided into countless facets, and it appears still from every angle, as if it is reflected in a mirror.

This scene lasted only a snap of the fingers before a crisp cracking sound was heard, the prism shattered, and the space regained its vitality.

People, air currents, and the divine wind of Samadhi begin to flow again.

Xue Zhongru shivered; his blood felt almost frozen, and a sense of weakness spread throughout his body.

Suddenly remembering something, he raised his palm, which was covered with brown spots, like that of an old man nearing the end of his life.

"Your Xue family actually..."

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, rotten, and unpleasant, which startled him.

Given their obvious ability to manipulate time, he subconsciously assumed the two were working together.

Besides the Qingdu Xue clan, who else in the Earthly Immortal Realm could possess such profound knowledge of time and space at the Nascent Soul stage?

"Why do you want to lend me a hand...?"

Bai Zichen's thoughts were in turmoil. It couldn't possibly be because the two of them cultivated the Great Dao of Time.

The fact that every magical artifact on the other person's body shone with the true meaning of time strongly suggests that not only him, but also his elders cultivated the Great Dao of Time.

Otherwise, how could a Nascent Soul cultivator accumulate such wealth?

Regardless of the true purpose, it is undoubtedly a major positive development on the surface.

If pushed too hard, Qingxiao Jing's clone might not even be able to maintain the Nascent Soul realm.

When they looked at Xue Zhongru again, the man had already produced a talisman that shimmered with silver light and was decorated with dazzling patterns.

Torn in two, the space shook, and a powerful force descended, moving him out of the cave.

"A Void-Piercing Talisman... It seems to be quite powerful, carrying such a high-level talisman on one's person!"

Bai Zichen was surprised. The Void-Breaking Divine Talisman was a sixth-order talisman, but it was already very close to the seventh order.

It requires no cultivation level from the user; with a talisman in hand, one can come and go freely, rendering any restrictions or formations useless.

A talisman master who can create this spatial talisman has one foot in the seventh-tier realm.

The rarity of the Void-Breaking Talisman goes without saying, both in terms of the difficulty of its crafting and the spiritual materials required.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators who have overdrawn their potential and been forcibly promoted certainly don't deserve to be used.

A Void-Breaking Divine Talisman is far more valuable than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore, this obese cultivator must have come from some powerful force outside the Five Dragon Sea, and his background must be very noble, otherwise he would not be qualified to receive the title during a single trip to the cave heaven.

Since he had already left using the Void-Breaking Talisman and had no chance to participate in the final competition, Bai Zichen stopped paying attention to him and focused his gaze on Kong Wen, while not forgetting Xue Wugao, who seemed to be on the same side.

"The Xue family is quite cunning, going to such lengths. Could it be that something you are determined to obtain is hidden in the Dan Cliff Cave?"

Kong Wen coughed until his face turned as white as paper, and his cough shook the Buddhist kingdom. One pagoda after another, one Bodhisattva after another fell down, and a dark shadow flew out.
