A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 651 "Experimental Personnel"

The milky-white silkworm clung to the hibiscus branches and leaves that emitted a faint warmth and spiritual energy. Its eyes were slightly closed, and a mysterious spiritual energy naturally enveloped its entire body. Its consciousness penetrated deep into the dreamlike world, roaming freely in a magnificent fantasy scene.

In an instant, a profound sense of oneness with heaven and earth, of sharing the spirit with all things, and of being one with the world quietly blossomed in the depths of my heart, bringing with it a stream of enlightenment from all things.

His lifespan has slowed down, to about one-tenth or slightly more of the normal lifespan of a first-generation emperor.

However, the speed at which his cultivation and Dao progressed in tandem did not slow down in the slightest when he entered the dream world. In fact, even in such a special state, his cultivation speed was even faster than that of a normal first-generation emperor, and he had never encountered an insurmountable bottleneck.

Fifty thousand years have passed in a flash.

When the earth's dragon veins trembled and the milky-white silkworm awoke from its slumber, five thousand of its lifespan of over ten thousand years had dissipated. Its cultivation and spiritual attainment, however, had accumulated the depth of understanding of "Dao" and "Dharma" that an ordinary emperor would only achieve after a hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation.

"I have comprehended a rudimentary form of the Nirvana Immortal Dao Law. It is roughly equivalent to a True Immortal who has just entered the Immortal Dao but has not yet gained a firm foothold in the Immortal Dao realm."

"Well, according to the current era's classification of cultivation levels in the [Spirit Realm], this situation can barely be considered as having comprehended a complete immortal law, allowing one to calmly pass the tribulation of becoming an immortal and attain the first Dao fruit in the immortal realm, the True Immortal Dao Fruit."

"No rush. After consuming various longevity pills, and relying on a special cultivation method, my lifespan in my first life reached 120,000 years. I have plenty of time in the future to slowly comprehend a Nirvana method that is entirely my own, and live out my second life in the way that is most suitable for me, embarking on the path of immortality in the mortal world."

"What I'm competing for right now isn't immediate combat power, but rather an eloquence that can never be fully developed. As for combat power, I can wait until I've lived my third life and have gained a deeper understanding of 'Tao' and 'Dharma,' then spend some time specifically improving that."

The milky-white silkworm rubbed its eyes with its chubby little breasts and legs, yawned, and briefly summarized its gains from its dreamlike experience.

Immediately afterwards, he looked around at the celestial land that had changed dramatically, now filled with all sorts of sacred and divine medicines, and was secretly shocked.

"The power of this drop of True Phoenix Immortal Blood is truly astonishing. It has transformed a vast immortal land in just tens of thousands of years." But when his gaze fell upon the entire Life Starfield, his expression changed slightly, filled with disbelief. "The spiritual energy of the entire Life Starfield has been increasing dramatically in the past fifty thousand years. It is only a tiny bit away from revealing the mysteries of the immortal path."

The milky-white silkworm was very suspicious that the absence of manifested immortal laws in the entire life star field was entirely due to the control and restriction of the will of the universe, which kept all manifested power and resources in the "end of Dharma era".

"If the celestial divination is correct, this is indeed the immortal blood that the Emperor shed when he lived for ten lifetimes. Then, the portion that I injected into the earth's dragon veins may not be much inferior to the essence blood of an ordinary immortal king in terms of research value and the Nirvana-like creation it possesses."

The milky-white silkworm gazed at the extraordinary phenomenon of the True Phoenix being born alongside the Holy Spirit not far in front of it, and fell into deep thought.

"Following this logical chain, it seems quite reasonable that a Holy Spirit born in this Dharma-ending region of the universe could not fully absorb this True Phoenix Blood, causing the dissipation of creation and Dao essence, and incidentally triggering a small-scale 'spiritual energy revival'."

"Perhaps I should also use a portion of True Phoenix Immortal Blood, discarding the Nirvana Creation Power within it and merely absorbing the power of its laws to enhance the depth and breadth of the nascent Nirvana Immortal Dao laws?"

"Wait a minute. Why has the Holy Spirit, born from the depths of the earth's dragon veins, become like this?!"

Watching the figure soaring in the sky like a bleeding phoenix, the milky-white silkworm was so frightened that it could barely hold onto the hibiscus branch. Its plump body was sweating profusely, and its round eyes shrank to the size of pinholes. It seemed as if the Emperor's primordial spirit was about to jump out of the Immortal Platform in fright.

As a Holy Spirit nurtured by heaven and earth, one should be filled with the blessings of the universe. Even if one does not follow the great path of creation, blessings, and merit, every action one takes will surely represent the natural will of the place of birth, carrying a vast and positive power.

How could it be like this now, its cries like a desperate cry for survival, its whole body radiating the true meaning of destruction that annihilates everything, the imperial laws filled with death and end, and the aura it naturally exudes carrying corruption and terror.

This doesn't look like a holy spirit at all!
Instead, it resembles an evil spirit corrupted by misfortune!
The milky-white silkworm swallowed hard, then immediately picked up the hibiscus branch that had fallen to the ground. Using its imperial magic, it mobilized the solar essence within the branch and, with the help of the remaining purification-type immortal king magic intent, cleansed its entire body.

Then, he took out the incense burner pointing to "Yu Yu Tian", respectfully lit three sticks of incense, and recited the "Scripture of Salvation" created by Lingbao Tianzun. His attitude was very sincere, and his whole body was filled with layers of mysterious and yellow merit. A small cloud of merit and auspiciousness gathered on his head, which made the will of the universe pay attention to him.

In an instant, "Yu Yutian" deliberately unleashed a beam of Shangqing Immortal Light, containing a chilling killing intent aimed at the eerie and ominous. It pierced through layers of time and space, enveloping the milky-white silkworm, causing a faint warmth to rise throughout its body, as if all its ailments had been cleansed.

"Honorable Supreme Mysterious Emperor, High Saint Jade Emperor Great Dao Lord!"

After bowing respectfully, the milky-white silkworm immediately retreated and stepped into the deeper space-time, into a spatial interlayer that even ordinary three-life ultimate emperors could hardly perceive. It looked with extreme apprehension at the holy spirit, whose soaring posture was extremely unrestrained, like an evil spirit.

"A Great Perfection Holy Spirit, a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven Realm, a Heavenly Favored Holy Spirit who can overcome an alternative path to enlightenment at any time if they wish." The four idle chest legs kept calculating the secrets of heaven, and a puzzled look gradually appeared on the round face. "As an emperor who has cultivated the rudiments of immortality, it is highly likely that I will not make a mistake in calculating the secrets of a newly born Holy Spirit."

"Then why does this Holy Spirit not only appear malevolent, but the Quasi-Emperor Law he cultivates is also incredibly malevolent?"

The milky-white silkworm paused, then wondered, "Could it be a problem with that True Phoenix Immortal Blood?"

"But isn't this divine destiny a blessing that came from the Emperor's ten incarnations?"

"How can something confirmed by the will of the universe still have problems and 'contaminate' a sacred holy spirit with such evil intent?"

"That can't be right."

After a pause, the milky-white silkworm thought of another possibility.

"Perhaps when this Holy Spirit absorbed that portion of True Phoenix Immortal Blood, it deliberately chose to draw upon that destructive power, believing that these things were more valuable, or more in line with the path it wanted to walk in the future?"

"Isn't it a waste of effort and a voluntary abandonment of most of the innate advantages that belong to a Holy Spirit, which should be cultivating the paths of creation, blessings, and merit?"

The Holy Spirits of this era are different from those of the early mythological period. As long as they are born into the world in a complete and authentic way, and do not stray from the right path, they can at least embark on the path of accumulating Xuanhuang merit, then overcome the tribulation of becoming an immortal, and attain the status of a true immortal blessed by the heavens and earth. The true immortal lineage of Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerable, inscribed on the laws of heaven and earth, and the cosmic lineage of Zhenyuan Daozu's "Spiritual Root Method," have clearly pointed out multiple paths to immortality for the vast majority of true immortals to cultivate to the King Realm. At the same time, these are also among the few lineages that can avoid calamities, which is the envy of countless beings.

The milky-white silkworm's expression was somewhat subtle. "This newly born Holy Spirit is so confident in forging its own path, comprehending its own immortal laws, and even traversing the end of Dharma, reborn nine times, and ascending to immortality in the mortal world?"

"This is something that most Holy Spirits cannot do."

After much deliberation, the milky-white silkworm decided to wait a little longer.

At least up to his current level of cultivation, he has never encountered an insurmountable bottleneck. Moreover, his lifespan in his first life was over 100,000 years. According to his current plan, if he works hard, living for 200,000 years in his second life should not be a problem. Even if he encounters problems in his third life and needs to take an elixir of immortality, he can still live for another 200,000 years.

Over a total of 500,000 years, by carefully observing the future growth process of this Holy Spirit, we can definitely eliminate some problems with the True Phoenix Immortal Blood and ensure that the path we take will not produce irreversible regrets.

The milky-white silkworm concealed its presence even further, saying, "Let me see how far this strangely malevolent Holy Spirit, resembling a Blood-Crying True Phoenix, can go, and what problems it will face in the future due to the influence of this True Phoenix Immortal Blood."

Only a few hundred years later, this Holy Spirit, who came into contact with the Spirit Realm and was like a blood-crying phoenix, believed that he had completed all the foundations of his cultivation and began to proclaim his name.
-
Blood Phoenix.

A thousand years later, this holy spirit, who called himself Blood Phoenix, charged straight into the Primordial Ancient Mine under the astonished gaze of the milky-white silkworm, intending to break through the guardians of the major immortal lineages and dig out the Primordial Life Stone.

During this process, he also used his unique path to enlightenment to threaten the guardians and vie for more opportunities and fortune.
Most importantly, Blood Phoenix truly succeeded. Not only did she overcome the unconventional tribulation to attain enlightenment, but she also obtained a manuscript written by Ancestor Yunding in his early years, which was probably at the level of a Quasi-Immortal King, from the forbidden area of ​​the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Seeing such an outrageous situation, the milky-white silkworm following behind Blood Phoenix twitched its lips and silently hid itself even deeper.

"Blood Phoenix has had it too easy these past few years, to the point that I get the feeling that he is a chosen one of destiny born from the universe and starry sky, and is always favored by the will of the universe."

"Without using divination, I can be absolutely certain that this guy was definitely outmaneuvered by some powerful immortals."

"Primordial Life Stone. This kind of life-extending resource is extremely precious. After undergoing various special treatments and reshaping, it would take an emperor ten thousand years to create chaos and create life star fields to accumulate such a large amount of Xuanhuang merit to buy it from the platform on the [Spirit Realm].

"Life-extending resources that require so much merit are being given away for free in this way?"

After staring at the manuscript that was shimmering with celestial light for a while, and at the Blood Phoenix's excited expression, the milky-white silkworm's eyelids began to twitch wildly.

"Master Yunding was a near-supreme being who pioneered the 'Spiritual Root Method' branch of cultivation. It is said that the Emperor Light he cultivated was extremely dazzling and terrifying among all the Emperor Light Immortal Kings."

"Even if the value of such a manuscript by a powerful immortal is no longer significant to the current number of artifact immortals, the symbolic significance of that cultivation system still carries an irreplaceable weight."

"Something so important to the 'Immortal Artifact' lineage was simply handed over by the guardian of the Primordial Ancient Mine, and they still haven't noticed the problem?"

"This Blood Phoenix's audacity goes beyond mere arrogance."

Several thousand years later, on a sacred mountain filled with the aura of the Blood Phoenix Dao and its corresponding Dao essence, an unprecedented and bizarre Nirvana slowly unfolded.

Visible to the naked eye, streams of blood-red divine power rose from the body of this holy spirit that resembled a weeping blood, evolving into various signs of great destruction, great annihilation, and great calamity in the universe, turning the entire once passable sacred mountain into a blood-red color.

Under the witness of the milky white silkworm, the aura belonging to the Supreme Imperial Weapon gradually emerged from the Blood Phoenix's body.

His flesh and bones, his Dao body and his primordial spirit, all underwent various different transformations. Based on these wondrous and somewhat incomprehensible changes, his power was completely sublimated from an alternative path to Dao to that of an ultimate ancient emperor.

Blood Phoenix, upon its rebirth on this sacred mountain, possessed the cultivation and power of an ancient emperor.

Those involved may not know it, but the milky-white silkworm, well hidden deep within time and space, has already sensed the handiwork of some powerful immortals from these manifestations of alienation.

"The first person to make arrangements was undoubtedly Ancestor Yunding himself. Without his approval as a near-supreme figure, that Immortal Technique would most likely have been difficult to appear in the Primordial Ancient Mine."

"If I'm not mistaken, the second one to arrange this is the Boundless Heavenly Venerable. The essence of the 'Secret of the Art of War' has penetrated deep into his flesh and bones, and his primordial spirit."

"The third person to make the move should be a quasi-Immortal King from the Primordial Ancient Mine. Or perhaps a large group of quasi-Immortal Kings. They may want to obtain the opportunity to become an Immortal King or a King Realm opportunity from the 'Weapon Immortal' cultivation system."

"Blood Phoenix, this has been 'voluntarily' used as a tester to try out some new cultivation methods."

At that moment, the milky-white silkworm seemed to realize something.

He seemed to know exactly where the danger of directly refining the Emperor's True Phoenix Immortal Blood came from.

In the eyes of some powerful immortals, those "fated immortals" who possess some of the Nirvana abilities of the Heavenly Emperor are simply "experimental subjects" who can be used to verify their own Daoist techniques with just a little planning.

"Such 'mutual consent' calculations based on cause and effect and fate are truly despicable!"
