A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 644 The Sun Emperor: Fate.
The Holy Emperor of Taiyin covered his head and sighed softly.

Over a million years, tens of thousands of disasters have occurred, each requiring the reshaping of time to quell them. This means that on average, the universe suffers a catastrophe every hundred years, leaving all living beings in the vast universe in dire straits.
Perhaps we should be grateful that over the years, countless cultivators have continuously ventured to the edge of the universe, diligently opening up the chaos, causing the universe to expand several times over, adding hundreds of millions of life-bearing star fields, greatly increasing the carrying capacity of the universe and making the disaster-affected area ratio data look better.

I just don't know how those who have been merging with the Heavenly Heart Mark for millions of years managed to survive.

The Holy Emperor of Taiyin stirred his divine senses within the [Spirit Realm], retracing the past years and examining the public information of those who had won the heart of Heaven.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he quickly scanned the list. "After me is the Sun Saint Emperor. I recall him; he's the human cultivator who ascended Mount Funiu and obtained some opportunities to reach the King Realm. But his reign lasted only 120,000 years?"

Instantly, the expression on the face of the Holy Emperor of Taiyin turned somewhat displeased.

Why is it that I've been in that position for nearly 500,000 years, while this fellow human only has to work for 120,000 years?
"Uh, by taking advantage of the opportunity to transform into the fourth life, directly remove the Heavenly Heart Mark, and escape by faking death with the body of the third life?" The Taiyin Saint Emperor's expression was somewhat subtle, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, as if he saw a black pot about to be put on his head.

After a moment of silence, he continued to peruse the historical records within the [Spirit Realm].

"Ten thousand years after the end of the Sun Saint Emperor era, a new Dao Prover appeared, a 'reincarnated' Immortal King. However, when merging with the Heavenly Heart Mark, he did not have the opportunity to touch the remaining two strands of Dao Ancestor's fortune within the Great Universe. He only lasted for fifty thousand years before finding a way to sever the Heavenly Heart Mark."

"As for the method of breaking free, it is to use one's three lifetimes' worth of body to shed one's skin like a cicada shedding its shell."

The Holy Emperor Taiyin immediately sensed something was amiss. He suppressed the indescribable tremor in his heart and continued to peruse the information in the [Spirit Realm].

The third person to obtain the Heavenly Heart after the Sun Emperor was also a "reincarnation" of the Immortal King. He reigned for 140,000 years. The seventh person to obtain the Heavenly Heart was a genius of his time. He reigned for 160,000 years. The method he used was to carry the Heavenly Heart mark in his old body, thereby getting rid of the throne of his time. He left behind only a divine body of faith, which was created based on his old body.
He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself, "I'm in for a world in trouble. As the first emperor to create this kind of escape method, those great immortal sects, immortal clans, and immortal races will definitely remember me."

"Those fellow Daoists in the Boundary Sea have a friendship built over nearly a million years of exploring the perilous lands of the Boundary Sea together, so they shouldn't personally cause me trouble, but their descendants might be a different story. Perhaps I shouldn't have returned to my private territory on the Ziwei Ancient Star, nor should I have known about the Taiyin Sect. I should have quietly transformed myself on the edge of the universe and lived out my ninth life. That would have been quite nice."

As he spoke, the Holy Emperor of Taiyin unleashed a power of the Bitter Sea Divine Force, nearly equivalent to that of a Quasi-Immortal King, towards the chaos not far away. Using the Taiyin Creation Method, he manipulated millions of stars and various celestial bodies, creating a new star system that shimmered with the radiance of the Taiyin moon.

With another light tap of his finger, a series of King-level Daoist runes imbued with the essence of the sun were copied and placed into this newly formed star system. Using the method of Yin and Yang unity, a Celestial King Array specializing in creation was constructed, tracing back to the primordial chaos, artificially creating a Chaotic Immortal Land, and embedding it into the deepest layers of the cosmic void.

The Holy Emperor of Taiyin did not stop. He took out a royal artifact that was imbued with the immortal charm of time, made hand seals, and stirred up a thin layer of spacetime mist, covering his current time point and corresponding traces in the long river of time. At the level of destiny and cause and effect, he blurred the corresponding heavenly secrets with the law of time and history.

He murmured to himself, "Flying from the mortal world to the immortal realm... just one step away."

Stepping slowly into this hidden Chaotic Immortal Land, the Taiyin Holy Emperor immediately waved his hand, displaying various immortal artifacts and magical weapons, arranging the transformation site as perfectly as possible to shorten the time required for the transformation.

The Holy Emperor Taiyin was not worried about failing this transformation. Due to the special nature of the Immortal Path in the Mortal World, after he lived out his eighth life, his lifespan would no longer be lost with time. He could stay in the Dharma-ending Age forever, and time would not leave marks on the Wheel of Life within the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

Moreover, judging from his current cultivation and Dao attainment, he is already incredibly close to a Quasi-Immortal King. The only difference between him and that realm is the immortal charm of the Immortal Dao. He has transcended the realm of humanity and is only one foot away from it.

With such a level of attainment, the possibility of failure during the Nirvana transformation is almost nonexistent, and even if disturbed, there are backup plans to make up for it.

Therefore, the only thing that worried him was the amount of time required to achieve Nirvana.

“If we return to the ancient Ziwei Star, the Nirvana process might be faster, but given the current situation,” the Taiyin Holy Emperor shook his head slightly, “I don’t want to be halfway through Nirvana and suddenly find myself surrounded by people, being stared at and judged.”

The thought of such a scene sent a chill down his spine. It was simply too terrifying, and his Dao heart seemed to waver.

The Taiyin Holy Emperor strode to the center of this chaotic immortal land, which resembled a star system, and buried an immortal medicine seed imbued with the profound Dao essence of an immortal king. With anticipation, he murmured to himself, "I hope that this Taiyin-type king-level immortal medicine seed, which I found in the Boundary Sea and is of an unknown variety, will enable the Nirvana creation contained in this newly opened chaotic immortal land to reach an even higher level."

He slowly sat down cross-legged, using his immortal techniques to expel the immortal essence and life force from his body, transforming them into celestial nectar, which he then poured into the immortal land before him.

Suddenly, a silvery-white sprout emerged from the immortal soil, and faint Taiyin immortal sounds rang out in the void. One after another, ancient and profound Taiyin King Realm immortal characters were spontaneously engraved, constantly reorganizing, arranging, and combining, until they transformed into a 129,600-character Immortal King Dao Scripture.

"The Medicine King Prays for the Moon"

The Holy Emperor of Taiyin was lost in thought. He seemed to see a group of Taiyin Moon Rabbits at the True Immortal realm dancing gracefully under a vast silver moon, forming a ritual imbued with a peculiar power of will, and raising a special creative force to bless a female Immortal King who was pounding medicine, seemingly hoping that she could pound a world-shaking King-level medicine.

This is a secret scripture for the King Realm, which, during special times, enables True Immortals to provide effective blessings to King Realm cultivators practicing Taiyin-type Daoist arts.

For the current Taiyin Holy Emperor, this Immortal King Scripture is not difficult. In fact, because the Spirit Realm has a platform for spreading the Dao, countless methods have developed and evolved rapidly, making him feel that this King Realm Secret Scripture is somewhat outdated, and the efficiency of its rituals and blessings is somewhat low.

However, its understanding and utilization of the Taiyin Dao are extremely ingenious, almost explaining the creation and mystery of Taiyin from another direction.

For the Taiyin Holy Emperor, who has already begun her Nirvana and is living out her ninth incarnation, this Immortal King Law is an extremely valuable reference for the King Realm Laws she will create in the future.

"That's right, what is this Immortal King Dao Scripture from, and from which era?" He muttered to himself, his face growing increasingly aged and his expression somewhat puzzled. "Is it from an Immortal King of the Chaotic Ancient Era? Or an Immortal King of the Immortal Ancient Era? Or perhaps a King Realm from an even more ancient era in the myriad realms?"

"As far as I know, in the most recent eras across all the heavens and myriad realms, it seems that not a single Taiyin Moon Rabbit has attained the Dao Fruit of the King Realm."

The Holy Emperor of Taiyin pondered for a while, not feeling that his own karma was inexplicably connected with a certain new Immortal King, but only that he had deepened his connection with the Moon Rabbit Clan in the universe.

"The absence of additional causal links for the King Realm means that the King Realm expert who created this Immortal King Technique has either perished or reached a level from which I can no longer fathom the causal links." "In that case, it won't hinder me for now, and there's no need to specifically understand the causal links. Once I ascend to Immortal Realm, I can leave behind a corresponding Immortal Realm inheritance within the Moon Rabbit Clan, which will likely allow me to fully understand it. Even if the causal links are preserved, it probably won't prevent me from comprehending the Sixth Secret Realm, overcoming the tribulations of the Heavenly Rules, or cultivating other cultivation systems."

After a brief perception and rough calculation, the Taiyin Holy Emperor gathered his energy and began to focus on the transformation before him.

Time passed by, and his once strong and powerful body became hunched over. His straight waist became bent, and the black hair tied up with a crown turned snow-white. The vitality in his body became extremely weak, as if he was on the verge of death, hovering between life and death.

Conversely, the King Realm Immortal Medicine, nourished with abundant immortal essence and life force, slowly blossomed, transforming into a sweet osmanthus tree exuding a faint fragrance. Every blooming surface and every unfolding petal was engraved with lunar patterns, shimmering with flawless King Realm radiance, and surrounded by translucent King Realm Daoist runes.

"It took about five million years of immortal essence and life force to bring this King-level immortal herb back to life in the Chaos Immortal Land. Who exactly was the original owner of this King-level immortal herb?"

The Taiyin Holy Emperor's expression changed slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

It's important to understand that ordinary immortal herbs, even when grown in extremely harsh environments, can only mature once every million years. With just a little cultivation, placed in ordinary divine soil and irrigated with common divine springs, maturing once every 300,000 years is not uncommon. If cultivated with focused dedication by those at the pinnacle of cultivation, certain special immortal herbs can even mature once every tens of thousands of years.

He was an eight-times near-immortal who was about to attain the status of a mortal immortal. With his immortal essence and life force nourishing and cultivating on the chaotic immortal soil, even ordinary immortal medicines should have matured more than once.

However, judging from the fact that the stamens of this laurel tree are only half-open, it is clear that there is still a considerable amount of time before its medicinal effects reach their peak.

This is definitely not normal.

The Taiyin Holy Emperor thought to himself, "If I still can't find anything after becoming a Red Dust Immortal, I'll go to the Moon God Immortal King of Qiyan Realm to help me see if there's any problem."

He exhaled slightly, his eyes slowly closed, and the remaining divine power and the Taiyin Immortal Dao Laws within his body gradually began to circulate according to the special laws in his eyes. A faint silver immortal radiance spread across his body, causing the surrounding laws to resonate, and in the sky of the Chaos Immortal Land, a silver moon that was almost tangible condensed, illuminating countless things.

The seemingly tiny, yet extremely powerful, change suddenly surged within the body of the Taiyin Holy Emperor.

Everything old, everything ancient, everything past is fading away. And the new, the newborn, the future is coming.

Eradication and creation form a Möbius strip in his body, endlessly repeating without end.

The Yin Laws of Humanity and Immortals gradually began to connect, like two yin-yang fish chasing each other, eventually merging into one, forming the Wuji of the Yin Path, gradually giving rise to the "Dao" and "Dharma" of the King Realm, the Quasi-Immortal King level, which are sublimating step by step.

The end of Dharma could no longer leave any trace on him, and the immortal "Dao" and "Dharma" even showed a slight tendency to leap out of the tributary of the long river of time and transcend the great universe. The transformation in the mortal world during the end of Dharma added a special worldly realm to his true spirit, giving him a possibility and foundation to attain the supreme realm.

In an instant, the quasi-immortal king level technique transformed into the Taiyin Yin Fire, burning his old body. Meanwhile, the many immortal artifacts he had previously laid out began to operate, extracting life force and creating energy, melting them into the Dao Fire, and using them as fuel and raw materials to slowly create a blurry human figure.

The eighth Nirvana, the ninth transformation, gradually puts him on the right track.

But then, an unexpected event occurred.

"tread"

An extremely abrupt sound of footsteps suddenly rose from the edge of this newly opened Chaotic Immortal Land. A figure had somehow managed to pass through the blockade of the Immortal King's Grand Array and enter the Transformation Ground constructed by the Taiyin Holy Emperor at the expense of a large amount of immortal resources.

He held a blazing divine tree shrunk by the Dao of Time and Space in his hands. His body was filled with wisps of profound Dao essence comparable to that of the Taiyin Holy Emperor before his Nirvana. The Immortal King's Law that slowly swirled around him was in harmony with the newly created Chaotic Immortal Land and resonated with the silver moon in the sky, exuding endless immortal charm of creation.

In an instant, the gazes of the Taiyin Holy Emperor, who was in a state of nirvana, and the newcomer collided.

Both sides were silent.

After a long while, the Taiyin Holy Emperor asked as calmly as possible, "Is the immortal elixir in your hand the Fusang Divine Tree?"

The visitor nodded slowly.

The Holy Emperor of Taiyin paused slightly, his tone no longer so calm, "Fellow Daoist, are you searching for a divine land where you can live out your ninth incarnation, and then you found this place?"

The visitor continued to nod slowly.

The burning Yin Fire of Taiyin suddenly became unstable, with sparks flying wildly several times.

The Taiyin Holy Emperor smiled somewhat reluctantly and said, "Fellow Daoist Taiyang, perhaps the fate between us is worth discussing."

The Sun Emperor said with a radiant smile, "Meeting Fellow Daoist Taiyin is indeed a matter of fate."
