Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

"It seems my cheap senior brother is not so simple after all."

"It's just a spiritual embryo, yet it can simultaneously control several top-ranking Great Dao Laws. If it continues to grow, it will probably become an extraordinary figure." Zhong Ning sighed.

Before he awakened his memories, he had no impression of the Law of Void.

Now that he has awakened to his past life's cultivation experience, he suddenly realizes that his cheap senior brother is truly extraordinary.

The Daoist principles of the Void are among the most prominent of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

For an ordinary cultivator, if they can master a path and reach its pinnacle, they are already quite extraordinary.

But that senior brother in blue robes, at the same time, mastered several...
Even Zhong Ning, who has lived for countless millennia, felt a sense of amazement at such a person.

It wasn't that I was amazed by the other party's strength, but rather that I was astonished that Luo Yan could gather so much power of laws within himself at the same time.

Such an ability seems strange to a mere cultivator at the Void Refining Realm.

"Could it be that Senior Brother Luo is also the reincarnation of a fellow Daoist?" Zhong Ning pondered, but quickly shook his head.

No, not at all!
His senior brother in blue robes possessed immature, incomplete, and imperfect Daoist principles, and he still had a very long way to go before reaching true Daoist power.

If it were truly an awakened immortal body with innate wisdom, its power of laws would surely be perfected, and it would never be in this state of being neither up nor down.

In this respect, you can't fake it.

Moreover, Zhong Ning believed that his eyes could dispel all the illusions of the world.

No living being in the human world can escape the gaze of his true eyes.

Senior Brother Luo could not possibly be the reincarnation of some immortal god, because his aura was mediocre and his power of law was incomplete, which did not match his status as a true immortal from the upper realm.

They must be natives of this world.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning withdrew his gaze from the outer starry sky and temporarily stopped trying to uncover the secrets of his cheap senior brother.

At the same time, deep within Zhong Ning's sea of ​​consciousness surged, shooting out one silver tadpole-like character after another.

They were shining, gleaming, and domineeringly absorbing all the energy of heaven and earth.

Countless silver-patterned tadpole-like characters swirled in his mind; they were powerful immortal lineages.

The true scriptures of immortals.

They take root here, they swirl around here, like falling leaves.

These past immortal lineages were hidden deep within Zhong Ning's consciousness. When his memories awakened, all the inherited scriptures, secret techniques, and magical arts emerged.

It was from this moment on that Zhong Ning, with his past memories, truly became himself.

His eyes were bright, brimming with dazzling light, like the rising sun illuminating the starry sky.

The immortal bodies of the past are gone, all turned to dust and vanished into the passage of time.

Now, carrying his past memories, Zhong Ning has begun his reincarnation and rebirth.

This time, the Five Signs of Decay of the Celestials will no longer be a limitation on his path to immortality.

"Although those guys descended to the mortal realm at the same time as me, their souls were protected by celestial decrees, which could safeguard their true spirits and consciousness through reincarnation."

"Based on the timeline, they should have awakened their memories two or three hundred years earlier than me, and their current cultivation level has probably already broken through to the seventh rank."

“The gap between me and them is huge.” Zhong Ning’s expression was solemn.

This is not good news. If he tries to take away the Five Elements Sect's artifact of destiny, he will inevitably be obstructed by other reincarnated True Immortals.

At that time, a great battle will inevitably break out among these reincarnated immortals and gods.

However, Zhong Ning has fallen far behind in cultivation level, and it will take a long time for him to catch up.

He worried that during this process, those guys would attain enlightenment ahead of him and take the artifact of destiny before he could.
In this way, Zhong Ning's purpose in descending to the mortal realm has already been halved.

Zhong Ning frowned. If it weren't for the accident that happened during his reincarnation, how could he have ended up in such a predicament?
His eyes were gloomy, with a sharp light flashing in them, and his aura was as turbulent as rolling clouds.

After careful consideration, Zhong Ning concluded that something unexpected must have happened during his reincarnation process, which caused him to fall behind others.

But with a Dao Ancestor-level immortal decree at his disposal, how could an accident possibly occur during his reincarnation?
Or is it that even a Dao Ancestor at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level cannot change the future of this world?

No! Zhong Ning doesn't believe it!

Although reincarnation is not as easy as one might imagine, even someone as powerful as Zhong Ning, who is at the True Immortal Realm, would have all his true spirit and consciousness annihilated by the power of reincarnation without the protection of the Immortal Law.

At that time, the soul will return to nothingness.

Therefore, he had made preparations long ago, exchanging his merits accumulated over countless millennia for a decree of immortality.

It was because of the blessing of this decree that he dared to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Who would have thought that despite all the planning, an unexpected incident would still occur?

"What went wrong?"

"Even the decree of the Golden Immortal Ancestor cannot change the power of reincarnation and time?" Zhong Ning murmured, still unwilling to believe this conjecture.

Suddenly, an image flashed into Zhong Ning's mind: a refined young man with a smiling face appeared in his memory.

If he remembered correctly, his reincarnation decree was handed to him by his seventeenth senior brother from the Heavenly Dao Palace.

No one else handled it.

Now, Zhong Ning's reincarnation has taken an unexpected turn.
"Seventeenth Senior Brother, could it be you who did this?"

"Or is it that someone wants to use you to kill me?" A fierce killing intent flashed in Zhong Ning's eyes, as intense as a raging storm.

At this moment, Zhong Ning's killing intent was terrifying. He appeared extremely frenzied, his eyes bloodshot, like an invincible demon god, with boundless pressure sweeping across the heavens and earth.

Fortunately, this aura came and went quickly.

Zhong Ning suppressed that terrifying killing intent.

After the ancient underworld was destroyed, the six realms of reincarnation were also completely shattered. From then on, all reincarnation in the world became an illusion.

All beings in the myriad realms can no longer be reincarnated and cultivate again.

From that moment on, all living beings in the world will no longer be able to be reincarnated. When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out; everything is predetermined!
After death, his soul returned to heaven and earth, and he was never seen again.

Therefore, before that great ancient war, all living beings in the world were said to be subject to reincarnation.

If now, a cultivator from the Five Elements Sect were to ask Zhong Ning whether reincarnation still exists in the world.

Zhong Ning would definitely answer: No!
Heaven and earth possess great power, like waves washing away sand and water dripping through stone.

Even the most powerful creatures will eventually fade away over the long years.

Even for the immortals of the celestial realm, protecting their primordial spirit from decay and their true essence from destruction is an extremely difficult task.

Either they ingest the Nine-Aperture Immortality Elixir, which contains the laws of immortality, or they are bestowed with immortal runes and talismans by the Golden Immortal Ancestor to protect their consciousness from destruction.
However, while the soul remains, the physical body will perish with the passage of time, leading to numerous calamities.

The Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man are an invisible shackle binding countless immortals, erupting once every hundreds of thousands of years. Among all the immortals in the Immortal Realm, no more than 30% are capable of surviving this tribulation!

Those who cannot survive this tribulation, no matter how powerful they are, will still turn into a handful of dust.

As a result, various methods of avoiding disasters came into being.

One such method is reincarnation, where one is reborn to be reborn for another life.

This method is not just about avoiding calamity; it also has the possibility of restoring a flawless immortal body and overcoming the five signs of decay in the celestial realm.

It is one of the top choices for many immortals in the celestial realm!

Even though the cycle of reincarnation has ended, the question of whether sentient beings can be reborn has become an enormous problem.

Fortunately, there are many powerful forces in the immortal realm, and many of them are supported by Dao Ancestors at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, who bestow numerous immortal decrees, giving their beings a chance to truly transcend.

Only beings who possess the decrees of the immortals can avoid the calamities of reincarnation and protect their true spirit from perishment.

Even if one is reincarnated and reborn, the memories will remain forever.

Therefore, the preciousness of the reincarnation decree is beyond doubt. It cannot be refined by anyone other than a powerful figure at the level of a Dao Ancestor!
Even so, Zhong Ning still encountered a major problem when he was reincarnated.

Not only was his reincarnation delayed by more than two hundred years, but he also became a mortal, almost unable to embark on the path of cultivation.

He eventually died of old age in Wanxinghai.

This is the greatest disgrace for a true immortal whose lifespan is almost infinite!

Lifespan is something that cultivators like Zhong Ning have in abundance, yet he almost suffered a major setback because of it.

However, Zhong Ning has encountered a problem during his reincarnation process.
He wouldn't consider whether the Dao Ancestor deliberately tampered with the decree when it was being crafted, causing it to have flaws.

Because someone like him is like an ant in front of such giants.

If you wanted to deal with him, you could easily crush Zhong Ning's soul with just a flick of your finger.

Putting aside the issue of the reincarnation decree itself, the only remaining possibility is that someone tampered with Zhong Ning's reincarnation process.

This resulted in him being reborn as a mortal in this cycle of reincarnation.

This made Zhong Ning suspect his senior brother. Could it be that his current predicament was deliberately orchestrated by the other party?
After all, apart from Zhong Ning, only the seventeenth senior brother had ever come into contact with that immortal decree.

Now that the reincarnation decree has gone wrong, if it wasn't that senior brother who was behind it, then who else could it be?
If Zhong Ning hadn't given up all his possessions and exchanged them for a wisp of merit when he dispersed his immortal body and entered the cycle of reincarnation, thus gaining heavenly blessings and being favored by heaven and earth...

He would probably have died long ago under the world-destroying thunder of divine punishment.

There would be no old tree that withstood the heavenly lightning to save him, nor would Senior Brother Luo help him awaken his past life memories.

Without the protection of that wisp of merit, Zhong Ning would probably have turned into ashes by now.

There is no possibility of revival.

"The energy of merit is truly a wonderful thing. Even though the immortal decree had problems, I was still able to survive safely and awaken my memories of my past life," Zhong Ning exclaimed.

Looking back now, this reincarnation was truly fraught with danger.

He almost really vanished into thin air.

"When I get back, I'll settle things with you properly," Zhong Ning murmured.

Regardless of whether the one who did the trick was the seventeenth senior brother, the truth will come out when he returns to the Immortal Realm.

At that time, Zhong Ning, having avoided the second of the Five Signs of Decay, will see his strength surge to an extremely terrifying level.

Even the Celestial Realm is no longer out of reach.

In the cultivation system of the immortal realm, the True Immortal Realm is only the first threshold of the immortal path, the Celestial Immortal Realm is the second realm, and the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm is the third realm.

Although the first two types have a long lifespan, they will encounter the five signs of decay in the celestial beings if they live too long.

Once you get through this, your strength will greatly increase.

If one cannot overcome this obstacle, all one's cultivation will vanish into nothingness, and one's soul will return to the heavens.

All the immortals in the celestial realm are terrified by the five signs of decay in the celestial beings.

The reason Zhong Ning chose to reincarnate in the mortal realm was ultimately to avoid this calamity.

Of course, the vessel of destiny was also among his targets.

As for those who have survived the five signs of decay and attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, even in the Immortal Realm, they are worthy of being called emperors and rulers.

Some people even refer to the experts in that field as Dao Ancestors!
In Buddhism, he is referred to as Buddha!
Because the Taiyi realm requires enduring countless eons to achieve the peak of the Three Flowers, one must grasp the Dao of Oneness, possess the void in one's body, and unite one's soul with Heaven and Earth.

From this point on, they are immortal and indestructible!

This is the highest realm that Zhong Ning aspires to.

If he can truly overcome the five signs of decay in a celestial being and simultaneously sever the three poisons of lust, greed, anger, and attachment.

At that time, the Golden Immortal Avenue will be completed!
Under the starry sky, the second spiritual body flew towards the Path of Ten Thousand Spirits' Pride. The Qilin auspicious beast's escape light was very fast, like a rainbow streaking across the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

As they traveled through the star field, they were greeted by a dazzling array of colorful lights, a truly magnificent sight.

Look closely, and you'll see stars shining brightly.

There are white, light blue, crimson, and many other colors.

This is an exceptionally bright and dazzling road that stretches into deep space, its destination unknown, and its entire length is utterly desolate.

Because the sounds beneath the star field are almost silent, empty and still.

If someone lacks willpower, staying here for too long could easily drive them insane.

The second spiritual body didn't feel much about the empty environment; it was contemplating its own Dao.

Use the mysterious power of destiny to understand yourself and clearly perceive the world.

The second spirit's eyes were filled with a hazy glow, and he could vaguely see strands of transparent silk wrapping around his body.

This is the shackle of heaven and earth, the cause of the present, and the effect of the future.

The second spiritual body could sense that behind these causal forces lay the shadows of several top-tier powerful beings, but due to its own mastery of destiny, it was unable to identify those beings.

He still needs to cultivate himself!
The Sea of ​​Return to Ruins.

This place is shrouded in mist, and below lies a terrifying, bottomless abyss, with howling winds from the netherworld blowing in.

It gave the soul of the second spirit body a chilling feeling.

Amidst the clouds, one can vaguely see one towering pillar after another rising from the ground, like an insurmountable chasm.

The cylinder was covered with all sorts of mysterious runes; staring at it for a long time gave one a dizzying feeling. (End of Chapter)
