A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 655 The Divine Emperor Climbs the Mountain
The silkworm cocoon buried beneath the earth swayed a few times, and the divine silkworm sleeping inside opened its eyes.

In an instant, strands of imperial laws erupted from the secret realm within his body, shattering the spacetime within the cocoon. With terrifying divine sense, he rearranged and recombined the fragmented layers of spacetime, evolving them once more with his own will.

In the deep void far from the end of the Dharma realm, a very special spacetime bubble was constructed, and supported by the three immortal laws of Nirvana, cause and effect, and destiny, it formed a truss that supported an immortal grotto-heaven the size of a galaxy with a complete cyclical system.

A series of murmurs rose and fell intermittently as countless tiny silkworms, their bodies translucent and marked with different directions and Dao patterns, rapidly spread throughout the entire cave, transforming their surroundings into unique spatial nodes that formed a magnificent immortal array that subtly merged with the entire world.

"Deduction preparation complete. Let's begin."

"Now that I only have a little over a thousand years left to live, things are really getting urgent."

A portion of the True Phoenix Immortal Blood, which had differentiated during the tenth transformation of the Heavenly Emperor, was taken out by the Divine Emperor and placed in the center of this Immortal Dao Array. Using the power of the array and borrowing the power of the universe, strands of the True Phoenix Immortal Blood were continuously differentiated, and the power of cause and effect and destiny were used to dissect the mystery of its Nirvana bit by bit, manifesting it before the eyes of tens of thousands of silkworms.

Different paths to enlightenment are simultaneously used to comprehend the profound mysteries of Nirvana that have been dissected, and they are constantly interacting and transforming with each other. From various extremely challenging angles, they analyze the "Tao" and "Dharma" within, which are comparable to the level of immortal kings, using their own cultivation knowledge and habits.

"The rebirth of the True Phoenix from the ashes is essentially a cycle of destruction and creation."

"The Emperor, however, broke this chain of Nirvana logic, which may have been established since the Immortal Ancient Era, when he lived out his tenth life. Outside of this cycle, he reconstructed a new cycle that suited his individual circumstances and was more complete."

"Based on the residual Daoist techniques left by the Emperor in the True Phoenix Immortal Blood, I vaguely grasped the principle behind how he severed the limitations brought about by the True Phoenix Treasure Technique and the True Phoenix Bloodline when he lived out his tenth life, and how he broke free from the power of the Void Return."

In just a few dozen breaths, 108,600 different ways of thinking delved into this opportunity at the King Realm level from vastly different angles, glimpsing some of the deeply buried essence.

Several days later, some of the inheritance information of the True Phoenix bloodline was deciphered and translated into a "True Phoenix Treasure Technique - Incomplete Version" with traces of the Heavenly Emperor's Daoist methods.

The material composition and spiritual state of the Ten Fierce Phoenixes gradually appeared in the eyes of the God Emperor through the "descriptions" of the semi-transparent silkworms, and gathered into a life chart at the level of a True Immortal. It almost fully explained the bloodline power of the Ten Fierce Phoenixes and revealed the essence and application of the Nirvana part of the True Phoenix Treasure Technique in the True Immortal realm.

"Ten Fierce Phoenixes"

The God Emperor stretched out a plump chest and foot, gently inscribing in the void the Nirvana Method that he originally intended to use to embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world. He translated it into a life chart symbolizing his current state and then superimposed the two charts in multiple dimensions.

In an instant, the marks that formed the two diagrams gradually collapsed, starting from the very edge and falling into logical inconsistencies, presenting an indescribable chaos, and finally vanishing into an empty void.

Instead of stopping the two diagrams from plunging into chaos and nothingness, the God Emperor continued to unleash his ultimate power, simulating various special methods to drive this collapse and cause them to collide, connect, and merge.

Two hundred years later, the two life maps were completely transformed into a fragmented life scroll with "divine silkworm" as the base and "true phoenix" as the appearance, the two being blended together.

A translucent silkworm wearing glasses cried out, "I knew it would work! Our previous calculations were completely correct! The method of condensing into a cocoon, eventually breaking out of it, and living out the next life will definitely allow us to live a second life together!"

A translucent silkworm wearing a monocle adjusted its lens and muttered softly, "That's right, but this scroll of life is currently 76% damaged. I don't know if there'll be enough time to complete it."

"If that doesn't work, we might have no choice but to use the True Phoenix Immortal Blood from the Emperor. However, once we use this King-level resource, we might be targeted by some powerful immortals, which could affect our subsequent transformations and cause further setbacks on the already troubled Immortal Path."

"This is almost a dilemma."

A particularly robust, semi-transparent silkworm swung its chest legs, directly seizing most of the immortal array's authority, leaping into the air, and allowing this tattered scroll of life to be reflected upon itself.

He shouted, "As the saying goes, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!"

"As a part of the God-Emperor, I will absolutely not accept my fate!"

"I definitely will."

Before the large, translucent silkworm could finish speaking, a chaotic and terrifying aura instantly filled its body. Countless sparks rose from its translucent form, twisting it into a bizarre monster that was half silkworm and half phoenix. In the end, it was reduced to a ball of blazing ashes and vanished from the world.

In return, this tattered scroll of life was pieced together, some imperfections were filled, and some seemingly correct evolutionary directions were faintly revealed.

A translucent silkworm wearing a monocle murmured softly, "It's improved a little, but it's still not enough. To fully deduce this scroll of life within eight hundred years, much more effort will be needed."

He took off his monocle and tossed it aside, a hint of madness on his face. He became the second to seize the authority of the immortal array, leaping into the air and becoming a translucent silkworm that reflected the tattered scroll of life.

Suddenly, that loud, maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire Immortal Cave Heaven.

"Oh, praise be to you, my divine emperor!"

As if by some kind of magic, the translucent silkworms all went berserk, their eyes flashing with fanaticism. To the astonishment of the God Emperor, they almost lost their minds, leaping into the air one after another, using their own existence as "materials" to rapidly complete this incomplete scroll of life.

Each translucent silkworm is essentially a celestial king's understanding of "Tao" and "Dharma," as well as his cultivation philosophy at the celestial king level. Now, as each translucent silkworm dissolves and transforms into a part of the scroll of life, it is almost as if this celestial king's understanding has been forcibly "forged" and "digested."

At this moment, the God Emperor entered a state of enlightenment.

Every minute, every second, carries different ideas, different "Tao" and "Law," which are transformed into our own and become the building blocks on the path to Nirvana and the second life, propelling our "true self" forward.

"This is the Hundred Classics of Furnace Nurturing."

"No, this is not nurturing, but fusion. Using the scroll of life as a great furnace, the insights of hundreds or nearly a thousand Immortal Kings into 'Dao' and 'Dharma' are completely 'fused' into chaotic 'chaos,' thus nurturing the 'immortal path' I am currently on." "This is all the nourishment for my nirvana, for my rebirth from the cocoon!"

A realization dawned in the eyes of the Divine Emperor, and as the "fusion" process accelerated, his spirituality grew stronger and more vast. In the transformation of the rich True Phoenix Dao essence, a wisp of Nirvana Divine Fire with a hint of ultimate meaning rose up, burning deep in his heart and flickering faintly within his true spirit.

Five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. All 108,600 translucent silkworms have merged into a part of the scroll before the God Emperor's eyes, becoming strokes with special charm, constructing this royal opportunity entirely condensed from "themselves".

The Divine Emperor raised his chest and feet, and with a gentle tap, wisps of warm firelight rushed towards him. The divine essence of Nirvana within them transformed into a small, soaring phoenix, completely merging the body and spirit of the Divine Silkworm into one.

"boom!"

The entire immortal grotto-heaven collapsed completely due to some special aggregation reaction.

By leveraging the power of the celestial array to control and accelerate the deduction, the matter and energy generated indirectly and accelerated, the ultimate laws that autonomously arise, and the subtle fragments of celestial laws that are simultaneously translated, all begin to "return to oneness," assimilating towards the flying little phoenix, wanting to become a part of it.

An extremely brilliant and unrepeatable miracle was born from the fusion of the fragmented understanding of "Tao" and "Law" of hundreds or nearly a thousand Celestial Kings.

The God Emperor felt as if many "selves" were slowly reaching out to him, weaving a path that led directly to the end of the True Immortal realm, guiding him to an extremely high and distant place.

Looking up, all that can be seen is the universe and time; everywhere one's gaze falls, there is cause and effect, destiny. Looking back at oneself, one has already transformed into a flying Nirvana Phoenix, surrounded by the Nirvana Dao essence that is infinitely close to the level of a supreme immortal and unique to oneself.

At the same time, a desolate and terrifying aura, accompanied by the terror of impending death, began to descend upon him, making the flash of enlightenment in the God-Emperor's eyes even brighter and more dazzling.

This is a great destiny that teeters on the brink of life and death.

On a primordial ancient star, beneath a certain divine mountain, within a buried silkworm cocoon, a soft cry of a true phoenix rang out.

A magnificent phenomenon instantly erupted from the cocoon, which had been slowly splitting open and releasing wisps of chaotic energy. It exploded violently, breaking through some kind of confinement, and arrived on the earth, soaring high in the sky.

In an instant, tens of thousands of supreme laws emerged from various divine lands, divine mountains, and dragon veins throughout the entire ancient primordial star. As if stimulated, they erupted completely, transforming into chains of divine laws that formed a vast net, suppressing the place where the "True Phoenix Breaks Out of its Cocoon" was located.

Moreover, the immortal laws that faintly carried the aura of immortality and approached the level of a supreme true immortal immediately triggered a backlash from the end-of-days environment of the universe. Terrifying heavenly blades descended from the sky, launching the most brutal attacks towards the place where immortal matter was born.

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to stand still.

Then everything calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

On the ancient star, the powerful figures who were in charge of the great sects and suppressed the destiny of the mortal world all showed horror on their faces. Almost at the same time, on a whim, they immediately looked towards the place where the shocking incident had occurred, trying to see what had just happened.

However, nothing was found.

An avatar left behind by a certain Quasi-Immortal King on an ancient star stood at the foot of Mount Kunlun, gazing into the distance with a subtle look in his eyes, and murmured, "That sacred mountain... Mount Funiu... is it where Laozi has refined another King-level Great Pill?"

"But it seems not quite the same. If I haven't misjudged, what just appeared in the world are the ultimate laws of the third generation. What makes me feel extremely alarmed is the power from the entire universe. It should be the End of Dharma Heavenly Blade."

"Could it be that some ignorant newly ascended True Immortal unleashed True Immortal magic containing immortal matter on the ancient star of the primordial world, and launched a special attack imbued with the laws of immortality, causing the entire Dharma-ending environment to react and thus triggering this sudden change?"

The avatar of the Quasi-Immortal King, left on the ancient star, slowly withdrew its gaze, no longer looking in the direction of Mount Funiu. This sacred mountain was a Daoist site standing in the cosmic sky, constantly watched over by the will of the universe.

The water there is too deep.

It is true that a Celestial King is equivalent to a vast universe, and a Celestial King giant is almost equivalent to a vast universe. For an unparalleled giant to lift up an ordinary vast universe is a piece of cake.

However, this does not mean that ordinary beings at the King Realm have the ability to leave a Daoist temple in the current universe of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, causing the suppression of the Immortal Dao Laws by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to retreat.

In the present world, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which contain more than one Immortal Emperor Law in the origin of the universe, are undoubtedly the absolute core. The heavenly punishment caused by interfering with the end of the universe is no joke. At least the supreme giants will definitely not be able to withstand it. When the Heavenly Blade of the End of the Dharma falls, they will definitely be completely annihilated.

"Therefore, if any living beings just now withstood the End of Dharma Heavenly Blade, or were fortunate enough to enter the Funiu Mountain Daoist Temple and thus escape this calamity, it is best to pretend that they did not know."

The avatar of the Quasi-Immortal King left on the ancient star of the Primordial World murmured in his heart, slowly activating his own magic, severing his distracting thoughts, and once again entering a state of meditation.

The other avatars of immortal beings who knew that the ancient star was extraordinary and who had sensed that the world had paused for a moment just now all tacitly cut off their distracting thoughts and entered a state of seclusion, pretending that nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, a little phoenix, its tiny claws outstretched, clutching the cocoon that had formed during its metamorphosis, stared in utter astonishment at the mountain monument that had appeared before it, and at the profound Daoist secrets that seemed to subtly attract it to this sacred mountain.

"So, I've come to the foot of Mount Funiu to undergo Nirvana."

"But is there something special about Mount Funiu that attracts me so strongly?"

"It's really strange. According to ancient records, both the Taiyin Holy Emperor and the Taiyang Holy Emperor obtained a fortuitous opportunity on this mountain. But I, a being who has already taken a crooked path to immortality in the mortal world, also have a so-called fortuitous opportunity waiting for me on the mountain?"

After a moment's thought, the Divine Emperor decided to follow the example of the two human Holy Emperors and prepare to climb the mountain.
