Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 631 The Secret Behind the Spiritual Root

"The first spiritual root in the universe?"

In the land of heaven, inside a vast imperial palace, the young Immortal Emperor sat on the imperial throne made of Chaos Divine Crystal, looking at the Immortal King who came to report from the audience.

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to legend, the First Spiritual Root in the Universe is the supreme elixir that surpasses all immortal elixirs. The ultimate secret of the immortal way is hidden behind it. Whoever can gain the recognition of the Spiritual Root can obtain the ultimate secret that transcends the immortal way."

The Immortal King in the audience is the god in charge of the news of the heavens in the Immortal Court. He is very interested in anything that can help the young Immortal Emperor improve his Taoism.

Upon hearing this, the young Immortal Emperor immediately began to calculate. The Immortal Emperor's supreme power seemed to penetrate the long river of time and understand the direction of cause and effect in the heavens. However, he did not find any clues about the first spiritual root in the heavens.

This made the omnipotent young Immortal Emperor feel something unusual.

"Investigate. Immediately send people to the heavens and all realms to collect information. I want to know all the information about the number one spiritual root in the heavens." The young Immortal Emperor had long understood that the calculations of heaven's secrets were not omnipotent, and sometimes it was still necessary to use the oldest and simplest methods.

After receiving the order, the Immortal King immediately dispatched a million troops from the Immortal Court to the heavens to collect information.

On the plateau shrouded by chaotic energy and black barriers, the three old antiques became restless after seeing the actions of the Immortal Court.

"No, we can't delay any longer. I'll give you the title of the number one spiritual root in the universe. I want to take the Immortal Willow Tree back immediately." The old man on the grave mound seemed a little anxious.

"Old senior, you are afraid now. Could it be that your entire Taoist practice is actually based on that fairy willow?" The strong man holding the sword embryo laughed.

He didn't believe that the young Immortal Emperor could comprehend the secret of breaking through to become an Immortal Emperor from the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The Wudao Tea Tree has been in his hands for countless epochs. He has already studied the ancient tea tree thoroughly inside and out, and has realized that there is no such thing as a path above the Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, as they are all Immortal Emperors, although the young Immortal Emperor is stunning, all three people present are stunning existences throughout the ages, and some have even experienced the test of time.

If the young Immortal Emperor is a tiger, then they are the prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The gap between the Immortal Emperors is not so easy to bridge.

“I like this young man, but I don’t know if he will keep him by his side after he finds my Ten Thousand Dao Samsara Tree at the end of the Soul River.” The young strong man on another ancient tomb seemed to be looking forward to the young Immortal Emperor taking his spiritual roots away.

"However, if you want to easily obtain my spiritual roots, how can you do it without going through some trials and tribulations?"

Afterwards, nine drops of dark red blood flew out from between his eyebrows, and under the protection of the time channel opened up by the mysterious furnace, they flew into the heavens and all worlds, and finally merged into the bodies of nine quasi-immortal emperors.

After obtaining the emperor's blood, those quasi-immortal emperors seemed to have seen the direction to move forward, and their cultivation levels immediately began to soar.

"This method is wonderful. Why didn't I think of it before?" Seeing this, the old man on the ancient tomb immediately followed suit.

The sword-wielding warrior on another ancient tomb watched their performance with a sneer.

Finally, he even mocked: "You two are not afraid of inviting a wolf into the house."

He was always wary of the ancient tomb under his feet, wondering whose tomb it was.

Why is there such a powerful magic weapon in the tomb, and the magic weapon cannot be moved to another tomb chamber at will?

And who were those three spiritual roots buried with the dead in these ancient tombs?

The actions of the three powerful men on the plateau did not make the young Immortal Emperor notice anything unusual.

However, many areas under the rule of the Immortal Court no longer obey the orders of the Immortal Court.

People in the Immortal Court did not have much fear about this, but instead thought it was normal.

After all, every once in a while, there are always some worlds and some people who feel that they are great and no longer need to take the lofty Immortal Court to heart.

But every time, they couldn't withstand the wrath of the Immortal Emperor.

Today, this cycle of rebellion seems to have become the norm.

The Immortal King who is in charge of the news of the Immortal Court is not just a name, he quickly gathered together all the news circulating in the heavens and all realms about the number one spiritual root in the heavens.

"Your Majesty, according to the information collected and analyzed by this humble servant, it seems that the number one spiritual root in the universe has not yet been born. Instead, there are three spiritual roots competing for the position of the number one spiritual root."

"I understand, please go down."

The young Immortal Emperor still sat in the Imperial Palace, but he could see all the heavens and worlds.

"Interesting, really interesting. It turns out that there are so many powerful people hidden in this world, and they actually use spiritual roots as a bet to determine who is stronger. Then I will try to see if I can make them all submit to me."

The young Immortal Emperor roughly guessed the truth behind the disappearance of the number one spiritual root in the universe.

Then he stepped out of the underground palace and walked towards the end of the Soul River.

The Soul River is also a special river in heaven.

Its origin is not the sacred mountain, but the depths of the boundless void, which seems to have no end.

However, the river water has the magical effect of nourishing the soul and protecting the spirit, and is the base material for many cultivators to refine the soul elixir.

When the young Immortal Emperor appeared on the banks of the Soul River, the creatures wandering along the riverbank immediately worshipped him.

“Have you seen any living creatures swimming upstream in the Soul River?” said the young Immortal Emperor to a creature whose cultivation was at the Immortal King level.

"I have never seen any living creature in the Soul River." The Immortal King said cautiously. At the same time, he was also wondering, this river has never given birth to any life from ancient times to the present, why did the Immortal Emperor say that it seemed as if there should be life in the river?

"May I ask, Your Majesty, where does the life in this Soul River come from?" asked the Immortal King.

“Since you haven’t seen it, forget it.” The young Immortal Emperor did not want to answer this question, but went upstream along the river and disappeared directly at the end of the void.

When he appeared at the end of the Soul River, he immediately saw the Tree of Ten Thousand Daos of Reincarnation.

At this moment, a fruit shaped like a baby was hanging on the Samsara Tree, and thousands of auras were flickering on the fruit.

Moreover, there was a faint sense of the soul power of all spirits flowing upstream from the Soul River and being absorbed by the fruit.

At the same time, it exudes a mysterious force of reincarnation, making the soul power absorbed from the Soul River disappear.

It was as if sending those soul powers to reincarnation.

"What a great tree of reincarnation. It actually stole the path of reincarnation of all the heavens and worlds." The young Immortal Emperor's eyes flashed with divine light, and he instantly saw through the principle of energy circulation just now.

But the next moment he withdrew all his divine power and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Does reincarnation really exist in this world? Does the underworld also exist? After a person dies, the destination of the true soul is the underworld, not the empty cage of heaven and earth as I thought before?"

The young Immortal Emperor seemed to have discovered the true secrets of the heavens, but when he wanted to explore those secrets further, he found that there was no follow-up.

It was as if everything was just his imagination.

But where he couldn't see, behind the heavens and myriad worlds shrouded in darkness, a magnificent and mysterious world that was almost comparable to the heavens slowly emerged.

There is no life in that world, but it is filled with an incredibly dense yin energy. If a soul falls into it, it will instantly turn into a ghost.

It seems like a place where only the dead can survive.

At the same time, on the plateau, three powerful men seemed to sense something.

"Have you noticed? The world seems to have changed?" said the old man surnamed Liu.

"The heavens and the worlds are changing all the time. The birth and destruction of worlds are common things. Fellow Daoist, you are really getting old and confused. It would be strange if there were no changes." said the strong man holding the sword embryo.

"There are indeed changes. I feel a great force of reincarnation beginning to spread, as if a world that can truly reincarnate is being born." The young strong man also spoke.

The young man who has been with the Tree of Ten Thousand Reincarnations for countless years is extremely sensitive to the breath of reincarnation.

But the next second, his expression became extremely ugly.

The young Immortal Emperor dug out the Wandao Samsara Tree and ate the fruit that contained the Supreme Dao Fruit. That was the only true fruit.

But the fruits in the previous period when thousands of fruits coexisted were completely different.

It was a backup plan he had prepared so that he could break through to the level of Immortal Emperor in the future.

After the young Immortal Emperor planted the Myriad Paths of Samsara Tree in his back garden, he looked up at the sky and said to himself, "Why hasn't it appeared yet? It's really good at hiding."

After seeing the fruit tree, how could he not see that this fruit tree was filled with the aura of other Immortal Emperors.

However, the young Immortal Emperor did not follow the cause and effect to trace the place where the fruit tree was planted before.

He saw his own shortcomings in the fruit trees.

If you want to fight those hidden antiques, you still need some accumulation.

Afterwards, the Wudao tea tree was brought back to heaven by the immortal soldiers in the immortal court.

Finally, the willow tree that turned into the world tree was also taken back to heaven by the quasi-immortal emperor in the fairy court.

"Are these the three supreme immortal roots that are competing for the number one spiritual root in the heavens? They are indeed extraordinary."

The young Immortal Emperor did not conduct an in-depth study of those spiritual roots. Instead, he planted them in the back garden and left them alone.

On the plateau, the three strong men looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw this.

"What does he mean?"

"Perhaps the things that we treasure so much are not even worth their attention."

"This is outrageous. This person is too arrogant. I suggest that the three of us work together to wipe him out."

"I agree. But before that, we must reduce Heaven to ruins. This will completely eliminate the possibility of Heaven's revival."

Then, the creatures that had been enlightened by their essence and blood rose up in the heavens and attacked the heavens together.

The slogan "If God is unjust, the heavens should be established" was shouted loudly.

The war that swept across the heavens broke out again.

The young Immortal Emperor was killed by the three powerful men from the plateau. In his dying state, he saw the coordinates of the underworld.

Then he voluntarily went to die and turned into an emperor ghost in the underworld.

Seeing that the Immortal Palace was destroyed and all the spirits in heaven were slaughtered in blood, the three powerful men from the plateau were not satisfied.

"I will collect the blood of all spirits and offer it to God as a sacrifice."

Afterwards, Heaven was sacrificed by the three powerful men. After Heaven was truly exhausted, the three powerful men also took this opportunity to enter an inexplicable realm.

It was as if the Tao no longer worked for them.

"Sacrifice Dao, it turns out that a blood sacrifice is required to break through."

At this moment, those who understood blood sacrifice seemed to see a bright future.

Then three mysterious altars were built by them, and every once in a while, they would select some strong people and worlds for sacrifice.

Originally there were only three ancestors of Gaoyuan, but gradually the fourth, fifth, and so on appeared to be the tenth.

It seems as if the plateau can only support ten ancestors.

The three ancestors who own the ancient tomb are supreme beings.

"kill!"

Suddenly, one day, the young Immortal Emperor came out from the underworld.

After also going through the life and death experience, he was promoted to the level of sacrifice.

But when he stepped onto the plateau, he was dumbfounded.

There are as many as ten beings who are at the same level as him.

Fight against the enemy.

The young Immortal Emperor, who was besieged by the seven ancestors, died in battle again without any surprise.

But this time he didn't die completely.

Instead, a wisp of ghost remained and floated up to the sky.

After looking at the three magnificent and mysterious altars in the ruined world sea, he also began to think about performing sacrifices.

Afterwards, he crossed the Soul River and entered the heavens and myriad worlds.

And reflected a brand new self.

From then on, a young genius who was proficient in the art of sacrifice emerged.

He practiced and offered sacrifices all the way. After he sacrificed the three ancestors together, a phantom finally condensed on the human-shaped altar in his body.

"Are you the secret behind the spiritual root?"

After experiencing the vicissitudes of time for eternity, the young genius's mind has long been tempered to be extremely tough.

"Kid, you shouldn't have let me show up." The shadow said to the ancestor of the Taoist Sacrifice who still looked like a teenager.

"I want to know if you are the one who is in charge of all this." The young genius did not ask about the origin of the original ancestor of the plateau, but asked the doubts in his heart.

The more he practiced, the more he could sense that there was a mysterious force guiding the evolution of all living things.

“When you see living beings appear on those three altars one day, you will know everything.” After saying that, the shadow condensed on the human-shaped altar in the boy’s body immediately disappeared.

"Okay, I'll wait for that day." A look of extreme determination flashed in the eyes of the young genius.

Afterwards, he did not continue to fight with the original ancestor of the plateau, but relied on his powerful strength to begin dividing areas in the heavens and myriad worlds.

Hide some areas that, in his opinion, have not yet been invaded by plateau forces.

At this time, he already knew that the immortal foundation of the oldest plateau ancestors was the three ancient tombs.

If they want to fight against them, they must have equal strength.

Years are like tides and time is like water.

The God who rules over all the heavens and the worlds seems to have completely turned into a memory.

All living beings in the heavens and all realms no longer remember the name of the young Immortal Emperor.

On the contrary, the three spiritual roots that should have been taken back to the plateau were still left in the heavens and myriad worlds.

And those spiritual roots continue to wander in various worlds.

It was as if he was comprehending the great principles of the heavens, or as if he was fishing, luring the hidden young Immortal Emperor to take action.

The development of the times seems to have reached a crossroads.

Where the future will go is full of infinite possibilities.
