A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 645 The Tenth Emperor
"So this is the reason why the Bodhisattva's friend lived to be reincarnated nine times."

The Sun Emperor stroked his chin, staring at the hazy figure constantly being reshaped in the Yin Fire of the Sun, and continuously analyzed it using divination methods.

"In the fourth life, he cultivated the Taiyin Immortal Body to its peak. In the fifth life, he transformed from extreme Yin to extreme Yang, giving rise to the Taiyang Immortal Body. In the sixth life, he naturally merged Yin and Yang to create Chaos. In the seventh life, he nurtured a wisp of Chaotic Taiyin intent from Chaos, cultivating the Taiyin Chaotic Dao Body with some characteristics of the King Realm. In the eighth life, he severed everything and transformed into a mortal body."

"As the eighth Nirvana of adjustment, the necessary path to the ninth life and the ascension to immortality in the mortal world. First, the Taiyin Law, which possesses a trace of the Dao of Immortal Kings, is transformed into Dao Fire to forge the mysteries of countless creations and to mediate some of the special insights of the Immortal King realm, thereby shaping a Taiyin body at the Immortal King level."

The Sun Saint Emperor's eyes revealed amazement, "Amazing, truly amazing. As expected of the first Saint Emperor of the human race, this idea is truly astonishing. If it really succeeds, one will possess a Dao body capable of traversing the Boundary Sea, comparable to an ordinary Immortal King. This is almost no different from a Quasi-Immortal King who has survived the tribulations of the Heavenly Rules."

In fact, the Nirvana logic of the fourth to eighth incarnations of the Sun Holy Emperor is similar to that of the Moon Holy Emperor. The specific difference lies in the Nirvana leading to the ninth incarnation.

Before entering this newly opened Chaotic Immortal Land and seeing the Taiyin Saint Emperor undergoing Nirvana, his original plan was to use the laws of the Sun Immortal Path as his Dao Fire to melt billions of fire seeds and create a Sun Immortal Body that could reach the ultimate True Immortal realm, thereby strengthening the laws of the Sun Immortal Path and making himself no less powerful than a Quasi-Immortal King who had not yet survived the tribulations of the rules of the heavens.

Living out one's ninth life in this way would definitely grant combat power at the level of a quasi-Immortal King, but survival would be somewhat of a challenge. At least, no matter how much a True Immortal's body is strengthened, it would be difficult to withstand the erosion of the countless "waves" of the Boundary Sea for an extended period, while an Immortal King's body could, and might even be able to completely ignore, this erosion.

The Sun Emperor's joy was palpable; he almost clasped his hands together and gave a loud round of applause. "With the demonstration by my fellow Daoist Taiyin, I have gained some insights into the special understanding of manipulating the Immortal King realm and the operation of shaping an Immortal King-level Dao body. I should be able to, like my fellow Daoist Taiyin, undergo Nirvana in my ninth life and create an Immortal King-level Sun Dao body."

After a short while, the Sun Saint Emperor finished expressing his "reflections" and looked at the silent Moon Saint Emperor, asking with some doubt, "Fellow Daoist Taiyin, didn't you say you wanted to discuss this karmic connection? Why aren't you saying anything?"

The Holy Emperor of Taiyin raised his head and looked up at the sky, a look of utter despair in his eyes.

While they were criticizing him and using their deductive methods to dig out all his insights from his ninth Nirvana, what else did the successor, the Holy Emperor of the Human Race, want from him?
Praise him for having talent that's no less than your own?
Or perhaps he praised his past Nirvana logic for being very similar to his own, and how he could easily deduce his own method of living out his ninth life, which he could then use with slight modifications.

As expected of someone who, like myself, obtained an opportunity on Mount Funiu in the ancient primordial star, and then seized the supreme emperor of the world's heart through combat power.

That's really amazing.
-
Above the ruins, a pure land for salvation.

The Buddha of Nirvana opened his eyes from under the Bodhi tree, looked at the Nirvana True Fire that had willingly entered the Void, his expression changed slightly, he put his hands together and sighed softly.

The Candle Dragon, entwined around the Bodhi tree and exuding a faint, supreme Daoist aura, also sensed the slight changes occurring within the Ruins of Return and cast its gaze upon them.

Zhu Qing said with a hint of surprise, "Isn't the Emperor who created this era and obtained the first wisp of the Dao Ancestor's Great Fortune already living his ninth life and ascending to immortality in the mortal world? Instead of creating the sixth secret realm or accumulating the foundation of the King Realm, he burned all his own laws and principles and used the Ruins of Return to be reborn again?"

The Buddha of Nirvana gazed into the Emperor's eyes, which turned pure white, reflecting countless lines of cause and effect, stirring up waves of time, and seeing through corners of the future.

This is the Karmic Eye, also known as the Divine Eye, one of the six great supernatural powers in Buddhism. It allows one to see cause and effect, destiny, and the past and future.

The Buddha of Nirvana explained softly, "The Emperor wants to use the power of the Void Return and the rebirth ability of his own True Phoenix bloodline to transform again on the basis of his ninth life, live out his tenth life, and push his cultivation to the extreme of the True Immortal realm, or even break through the framework of the True Immortal cultivation realm."

Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment. Zhu Longdi looked at it seriously for a few moments and sighed, "This guy wants to learn from Taiwu Immortal King, and his behavior is even more radical than that guy's."

"I thought that using the tens of thousands of Immortal King formations on the Mythical Battlefield and sacrificing the entire Mythical Battlefield to achieve the ultimate cultivation and Dao on the path to True Immortality, and forcibly accumulating a wisp of possibility to step into the Supreme Dao Ancestor, was already crazy enough. I didn't expect that this Heavenly Emperor was even crazier than him."

"This is the Ruins of Return, the reflection of your Lingbao Heavenly Venerable's [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] and the Immortal Emperor's Law in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Even ordinary supreme beings are extremely wary of this perilous place and dare not venture too deep. For a True Immortal without the essence of the King Realm, even if he is facing the most superficial power of the Ruins of Return, he can be said to be in a desperate situation with no chance of survival."

The Buddha of Nirvana remained calm, clasped his hands together, and said indifferently, "This emperor may seem a bit crazy, but he is not as crazy as you, the Heavenly Venerable Zhulong."

"He sacrificed all his profound merits to gain the opportunity to enter the origin of the universe and comprehend the King Realm. Then, when the will of the universe was caught off guard, he used the body of an Immortal King to seize the symbol of the 'Four Symbols' of the universe and starry sky, tampered with all the laws related to the 'Four Symbols' in the origin of the universe, and integrated them into his own body. He then forcibly broke through the King Realm and became an Emperor Realm through the 'Method of Harmonizing with the Dao'."

"Most importantly, he actually succeeded and became the first Dao Ancestor in this era to attain the supreme Dao fruit in all the heavens and myriad realms."

As he spoke, the Buddha of Nirvana recalled that day, when the will of the universe went from being stunned to disbelief, then to repeatedly confirming it, and finally to displaying its rage after having its "Four Symbols" taken away, as well as the terrifying scene of the nine heavens and ten earths being almost torn apart.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhulong Tianzun had already successfully "merged with the Dao" and completed the ascension process of breaking through the King and becoming an Emperor in an instant, he would have been equivalent to the embodiment of the "Four Symbols" of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Buddha of the Future of Annihilation was certain that the will of the Great Universe would definitely activate the array eyes of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level buried in various places in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and unleash heavenly punishment that was infinitely close to the highest level of the road, forcibly shattering this "Great Dao" that could already be called "Candle Green" in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The severity of the "alien 'four symbols' alteration incident" and the scope of its associated disasters are such that even summoning all the kings of the myriad realms would be insufficient to undo it.

In the end, it was an unknown emperor who rushed back from the Boundary Sea with a dark face. He set up another Quasi-Immortal Emperor Array for the Great Universe and personally reshaped a part of the tributary of the long river of time in the universe, thus saving everything and bringing an end to this "Universe 'Four Symbols' Alteration Incident" that was not recorded in the official history of humankind.

The candle dragon on the Bodhi tree twisted its body and coughed awkwardly.

Zhu Qing chuckled softly, "It's just altering the 'Four Symbols' of the universe. Actually, it's not that bad. Beings that haven't touched the Supreme Realm don't have much memory of it. In the end, didn't all the disasters suffered by all living beings have been averted?"

"I had my reasons for using such a brutal method to defeat Emperor Wang Cheng."

"As you know, when I was walking the path to immortality in the mortal world, I received a favor from a mysterious and powerful being in the long river of time, thus forming a karmic bond with him. Before becoming an Immortal King, I still had some expectations, hoping to see that mysterious and powerful being again. But after passing through the tribulations of the heavenly rules and calculating with the Immortal King's Dao Fruit, my heart suddenly turned cold." Zhu Qing's face was somewhat ashen, and he said through gritted teeth, "The one with whom I formed a karmic bond is the legendary Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable, 'sung about by countless beings,' the 'Fusheng' Heavenly Venerable who should be bound with hemp rope and enshrined under the roof beam. I have a special premonition that he seems to be returning soon."

"Before this Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable returns, I must break through the King realm to become an Emperor, and advance to the Supreme Dao Ancestor, and the sooner the better. I also need to find myself a 'backer' along the way. Otherwise, I can't even imagine how I will ultimately be 'forced' to end this karma."

The future Buddha of Nirvana fell silent.

In his memory, anyone who owed his Xuanhuang Uncle a debt of karma, unless their cultivation level was higher than his, their strength was greater than his, and they were better at divination, seemed to have a bad ending.

Zhu Qing's concerns were not unfounded.

only.
Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is the true ultimate path, which can be called the will of Heaven. Was the choice made by Zhuqing really not the result of his uncle's deliberate guidance?

The idea of ​​seizing the "Four Symbols" of the universe, and the method of forcibly altering the "Four Symbols" of all things and incorporating them into one's own body, truly depended entirely on his own thoughts and understanding.
Now, being 'self-imprisoned' in the vast universe by this special method of breaking the king, unable to leave even half a step, is perhaps what Uncle Xuanhuang hopes to see?

The Buddha of Nirvana looked at the Candle Dragon coiled on the Bodhi tree, and in the depths of his eyes, he found a subtle cause and effect that only he could see.

The Buddha of Nirvana clasped his hands together again, lowered his eyes, and pretended not to know.

As the saying goes, "The Buddha said: It cannot be spoken." That's the meaning.

Zhu Qing seemed oblivious to the subtle expression on the face of the Buddha of Nirvana, and continued, "Of course, I paid a price for doing this, and a rather high one at that, but that price is exactly what I hoped for."

"As you know, after 'merging with the Dao,' I am no longer allowed to leave the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It is tantamount to imprisoning myself here, and the Great Universe's will still be supervising me. But in other words, if I do not leave the Great Universe, nor escape the gaze of the Great Universe's will, will the Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable be met with a wall when he tries to find me to seek retribution?"

No, after you completed the "Harmony with the Dao", I felt that Uncle Xuanhuang had already settled this karmic debt.

My dear Zhulong Tianzun, look at your smug appearance now, you've completely turned into the shape that Uncle Xuanhuang has kneaded.

"Moreover, I am not incapable of breaking free from this 'self-imprisonment' in the future. The application of the 'method of merging with the Dao' that I have comprehended only involves the sixth secret realm of the 'Secret Realm Method' system, 'Xuanhuang Heaven Beyond Heaven,' which is a 'heretical path' that is almost beyond the system. In the future, as long as I comprehend my own sixth secret realm and merge with the microcosm within my body again, I can resolve my current predicament."

"It is much, much easier to create the sixth secret realm of the 'Secret Realm Method' with the realm of the Supreme Dao Ancestor than with the realm of the Immortal King."

Hearing you say that makes me feel even sadder.

It seems that Master Xuanhuang has found a "gatekeeper" and "henchman" of the supreme Dao Ancestor level for the will of the universe, who is available whenever called upon, and who can receive no merit from Xuanhuang.

Look at that Qilin Immortal King on the edge of the universe, who is so tired that he sticks out his tongue. Don't you think you two are very similar?
On this day, in the Pure Land of Salvation, the Heavenly Venerable Zhulong said a lot, and the Buddha of Nirvana also complained a lot in his heart.

However, these remarks made in the Pure Land of Salvation were shielded by a creative force containing the meaning of the six sufferings, and did not interfere with the emperor who was trying to live out his tenth life.

At this moment, the originally calm surface of Guixu gradually became violent.

The destructive power of the Ruins and the creative power of the True Phoenix bloodline have begun to collide, and that immortal body carrying the true meaning of the mortal world keeps lingering on the boundary between destruction and creation.

Pieces of true phoenix flesh and blood, fragments of true phoenix immortal bones, and strands of true phoenix Dao techniques either gradually sank into the Ruins of Return, which resembled a millstone of heaven and earth, or scattered into the cosmos with terrifying Dao fire, becoming a chance for all living beings in heaven and earth.

Faintly, it seemed as if the hoarse cry of a true phoenix echoed in the deepest part of the universe, the Ruins of Return, carrying a ferocity, boundless despair, and deep resentment.

As time passed, the cries of the True Phoenix gradually faded and nearly disappeared.

The weakening and shifting of cause and effect gradually made the immortal beings aware of the impropriety, stirring up subtle unease within them. Some immortal kings, skilled in divination or possessing formidable strength, now lowered their gaze to the Void, seeing that the Heavenly Emperor now possessed only a faint life force, infinitely approaching death and annihilation, with no possibility of rebirth.

"boom"

A collapse sound rang out, and the "Dao" and "Dharma" belonging to this True Phoenix completely vanished, the strange phenomenon of the Fallen Immortal of the Mortal World rapidly spreading. However, this was within the influence range of the power of the Void Return, and the power of a mere True Immortal was simply unable to break through that mysterious pull.

After this immortal being perished, the only evidence left in the world to prove that he had ever existed could no longer be etched into the river of time, recorded in ancient history, or influence humankind.

The gazes of the many immortal kings did not turn away; instead, they looked at the surface of the Ruins of Return with astonishment.

It was a figure clad in phoenix feathers, standing silently on the surface of the Ruins of Return, ignoring the terrifying destructive power of the Ruins of Return with the rebirth power that transcended the Ten Fiend Phoenixes.

The Emperor has lived to be the tenth incarnation.
