The Golden Crow Burns the Sky

Chapter 97: The Underworld Disappears, the Golden Crow Burns Blood
The discussion between Emperor Wu Shi and Xuan Hui lasted for a long time. Before they knew it, three full months had passed.

During this process, Xuan Hui not only expounded the essence of his own way of the sun and the path to immortality, but also debated with the Emperor Wu Shi and explored the mysteries of immortality.

The discussion between the two not only involved the methods of longevity and becoming immortal, but also extended into some extremely profound areas, such as the theory of reincarnation and the concept of "similar flowers".

In this regard, the attitude of Emperor Wu Shi seems a bit ambiguous. He doubts the so-called "afterlife" because of the Tao that has no beginning and no end, but he still does not believe in the theory of reincarnation. In addition, he also seems a bit hesitant when mentioning "similar flowers".

Xuan Hui does know some of the so-called "ultimate truths of the world", but knowing a concept is different from actually touching these concepts. During this discussion, Xuan Hui was also thinking about the possibility of reincarnation.

However, what Xuan Hui was thinking about was not the "reincarnation path" that the owner of the bronze coffin had walked, nor was it the reincarnation channel artificially created by Emperor Huang Tian and others, but the real "reincarnation", which had some similarities with the Buddhist conception.

Even though it seems a little early to talk about reincarnation now, the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, who roamed throughout the ancient times, has never been able to truly achieve the so-called reincarnation, let alone him, a mere Human Supreme.

But he still conducted some exploration on this, which can be regarded as a kind of accumulation at the humanitarian level. After all, he was not just talking nonsense, but had certain experience and had actually experienced reincarnation.

The Wu Shi Emperor in front of him could also be considered a living example of reincarnation. The two of them had a certain affinity in this regard, and when talking about reincarnation, many of the concepts were not imaginary but had substance.

The discussion and debate between the two Heavenly Emperors eventually triggered a huge vision that shook the entire Immortal Mountain!

Even in the end, not even the Immortal Mountain could stop the spread of this grand vision of discussing the Dao. The aura of the Dao spread to the entire central region of the Eastern Wilderness, benefiting many cultivators.

Especially for independent practitioners, such great aura and supreme heavenly sound are definitely an unexpected blessing, allowing them to gain a lot in their practice. Many people even attain enlightenment through this, and one session of practice can be equivalent to several years of hard work!
Xuanhui and Wushi, who were discussing the Dao, did not pay much attention to the impact they had created casually, and just regarded it as a benefit to all living beings.

After a long time, this three-month-long discussion finally came to an end. Emperor Wu Shi also smiled and looked at Xuan Hui in front of him.

"My fellow Taoist has an extraordinary path, and I have gained a lot from it."

Wu Shi said this sincerely. After all, during this discussion, Xuan Hui not only enlightened him about the concept of "no beginning and no end", but also talked about many ideas about reincarnation.

Although Wu Shi did not believe in reincarnation, he had always had some leeway for this concept. After all, he wanted to save his parents' lives, so he had explored many issues concerning life and death. He also discovered some problems in himself and had some guesses in his heart.

These factors together constitute the extremely contradictory psychology of Emperor Wu Shi towards the issue of reincarnation. He hopes that reincarnation is true, but he often has doubts about this concept.

Now, Xuan Hui has undoubtedly opened up a new situation for him from another angle. How could Wu Shi not be happy and feel emotional about it?
Hearing this, Xuan Hui also smiled and once again held up the Great Emperor Wu Shi's Way of Beginning and Endlessness.

“Without beginning and without end, this is the ultimate of the great road of time in the world. This has given me a lot of insights.”

"Fellow Daoist Wu Shi, take this as a foundation, and becoming an immortal is just the beginning."

Xuan Hui's words were sincere. Such a great way without beginning or end could indeed be called the ultimate way in the world and the supreme foundation for immortals. Anyone who could rise to this level by virtue of it should at least be able to attain the status of a Taoist ancestor and become a quasi-immortal emperor.

So, after chatting for a while, Wu Shizhong finally said goodbye.

He was originally from Beidou, and now that he has successfully extricated himself from the confrontation with the Immortal Emperor, he naturally would not stay in Xuanhui's Immortal Mountain Dojo.

According to what the Great Emperor Wu Shi said, he planned to go back to Yao Chi first, and then return to Zishan to meditate, trying to live the next life as soon as possible - after discussing Taoism with Xuan Hui, he is now quite confident about living a new life, and only needs to transform over a long period of time.

Naturally, Xuan Hui would not force him to stay, and in the future, he might not be able to entertain Emperor Wu Shi - since returning from the cycle of reincarnation, Xuan Hui's accumulation has been very sufficient, and he needs to retreat to summarize and start a new life.

And after discussing the Dao with Emperor Wu Shi, this accumulation expanded to a new peak, and Xuan Hui no longer intended to suppress himself.

Therefore, after Wu Shi proposed to leave, Xuan Hui did not keep him any longer. After the two of them said goodbye reluctantly, Emperor Wu Shi left. Xuan Hui then sat cross-legged under the ancient tea tree of Wu Dao again, closed his eyes, and began a new round of retreat practice.

……

At the same time, on the other side, in the underworld.

Inside the Hades Palace, the Immortal Emperor sat high up, with the fire of the Phoenix Nirvana lingering around him, while Tongtian Hades Treasure, the Source God, and the Source Ghost sat below him. At this moment, the Hades Treasure was emitting bursts of bright white light, helping the Source God and the Source Ghost to heal their wounds.

And it was also repairing itself in the bursts of white light, allowing its dented body to return to normal little by little.

For a moment, the Palace of the Underworld Emperor looked like a camp for wounded soldiers. It was hard to find a truly intact person as far as the eye could see, which made people speechless.

However, this is no wonder——

In the previous battle, after the Immortal Emperor fled far away, he did not dare to return directly to the underworld because he was worried that Emperor Wu Shi and Xuan Hui would pursue him.

After tearing the void and escaping, the Immortal Emperor carried the Three Gods of the Underworld and traveled in the void. He wandered in the boundless void for a long time. Seeing that no one was chasing him, he took action to disrupt the heaven's secrets and finally returned to the hidden underworld.

Afterwards, with the help of the Immortal Emperor and the assistance of the Tongtian Mingbao, Yuan Shen and Yuan Gui were able to remove the remaining traces of the Sun Dao in their bodies and prevented Xuanhui's Dao from damaging their foundation.

Afterwards, the two Supreme Lords of the Underworld began to heal their wounds, but those injuries could not be healed in a short period of time. They could only rely on long-term seclusion and practice to heal and then slowly recover.

As for a return to peak form?
In the short term, the two of them won't have to think about so many things anymore.

The expressions of the Immortal Emperor and the God of the Underworld did not look very good at this moment.

There is no need to say much about Tongtian Mingbao. Under his strong advocacy, the underworld finally chose this time point to meet with the Immortal Emperor, just to seek allies to fight against the current Emperor of Heaven.

But who would have thought that not long after they arrived and were about to jointly target Emperor Wu Shi, this Heavenly Emperor suddenly showed up and started beating them up, almost annihilating the entire underworld!

Tongtian Mingbao was puzzled. How had he and his group leaked their whereabouts that allowed the Emperor of Heaven to catch up with them so quickly?
How could he have imagined that at that time, Xuan Hui was actually on the ancient star Earth, which was not far from the ancient star Mars. As soon as he came out of Kunlun, he saw the strange phenomenon of the immortal bell shaking the heavens, so he deliberately explored the eye of the Mars Sea in order to target the Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor was even more depressed at this moment, and there was a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart.

This battle with Emperor Wu Shi and Xuan Hui was arguably the worst battle he had ever fought in his millions of years!
I won't say much about having to fight two people alone. After all, the enemies are extraordinary and can all be called heavenly emperors. But why do I have to protect my allies all the time? !

His eyes swept over the Tongtian Mingbao, Yuanshen and Yuangui under his seat, and the dissatisfaction and depression in the eyes of the Immortal Emperor became more and more intense.

The so-called allies should help each other, unlike the three people in front of him, who are basically dragging their feet. Only the Tongtian Mingbao is of some use, but it is also full of thoughts and cannot be used. For a moment, the Immortal Emperor envied the Wushi Emperor, thinking that the latter was really lucky. He was able to survive under the siege of several enlightened people and himself, and finally got the help of the current emperor, who defeated himself and others. His great luck is really frightening!
When he thought of Xuan Hui, the Immortal Emperor's eyes became even gloomier.

As a creature that fell from the fairyland and a true pure-blooded fairy phoenix, the Immortal Emperor has profound knowledge.

When he was young, he had also seen the famous Golden Crow Clan of the Fairyland. It was a meeting between a big figure of the Golden Crow Clan and a strong man of the Fairy Phoenix Clan, which left a deep impression on the young Immortal Emperor.

And now, after the war was over, the Immortal Emperor gradually came to his senses. The contemporary Emperor of Heaven was surprisingly close to the real Golden Crow Immortal in terms of temperament, as if they had a common origin!
In other words, this so-called Golden Crow Emperor is different! It is very likely that his origin is similar to his, or even from the same place!
Of course, it is also possible that this Golden Crow Emperor had obtained some extraordinary opportunity and embarked on the path to immortality in the human world ahead of time!

Whichever possibility it is, it means a huge temptation to the Immortal Emperor, making his murderous desire even stronger.

"We have to think of a way to take this man down completely!"

The Immortal Emperor said secretly in his heart, with a cold light flashing in his phoenix eyes, and his will was extremely firm.

But then he looked at the people in the hall again, and a subtle hint of disdain quickly flashed in his eyes.

"It's probably difficult to accomplish anything with these trash. I may need to find other allies."

"pity……"

"According to Mingbao, the Beidou restricted area is suppressed by this person alone. I'm afraid it's useless."

Thinking of this, anger surged up in the Immortal Emperor's heart again.

"If it weren't for that damned Wu Shi kid who suppressed my faith in the God of War Body, things wouldn't have become so troublesome!"

"Sure enough, that little Wu Shi kid messed me up!"

The Immortal Emperor roared in anger in his heart, but his expression only became a little darker, and he seemed quite moody, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

On the side, Tongtian Mingbao and Yuanshen both looked at their noses and their hearts, just sitting there quietly healing their wounds, as if nothing had happened.

Only Yuan Gui cast doubtful glances at the Immortal Emperor several times, and thought to himself.

"Why is this Immortal Emperor so mysterious and uncertain? Can we really succeed by conspiring with him?"

However, Yuan Gui at least had some brains, and he didn't say anything shocking in the current situation.

Therefore, a strange silence permeated the Hades Palace. All the people present in the palace had ulterior motives and no one knew what they were thinking.

……

And at this moment, in the Immortal Mountain.

After seeing off the Wu Shi Emperor, Xuan Hui practiced in seclusion alone under the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, and fell into the state of enlightenment after a long time.

While realizing the truth, Xuanhui is also in the process of summarizing and organizing what he has learned.

After all, Xuan Hui's accumulation over the past thousands of years is really too profound, and the areas he has involved may even require others to accumulate for one or two lifetimes to match.

If these accumulations are not properly sorted out, then they will become a messy and meaningless pile. Only by integrating them all can they truly become the resources for Xuanhui to become an immortal step by step.

Of course, this is not an easy task.

Xuan Hui's retreat lasted for five hundred years!

Finally, five hundred years later, Xuan Hui broke through the barrier. Thousands of years of accumulation had been completely integrated into his own way, transformed into runes, flowing in Xuan Hui's eyes.

The next moment, it seemed that the time had come. Xuan Hui formed seals with his hands and took the initiative to ignite his accumulation of thousands of years. He wanted to sublimate in the burning and bloom with the most extreme and brilliant light in the fire of the Avenue!

With this, he will truly start a new life and take a new step on the road to becoming an immortal in the mortal world!
To others, such an action is definitely a waste, and can even be considered a bit impulsive.

After all, in this universe where immortality is not possible, life span is so precious!
Haven’t you seen how many enlightened ones in the past went mad just because their lifespan was about to end, turned into fallen ones, cut themselves with a sword and started a dark chaos, thus becoming the supreme master of the forbidden area!

But for some people, life span does not seem so precious.

Just like Xuan Hui right now.

Xuan Hui has a lifespan of more than 30,000 years in this life. Even now, his blood and energy are at their peak. His long life is just halfway through, and it is far from the time when he needs to enter Nirvana.

But for him, the extra 20,000 years of lifespan compared to ordinary emperors is actually redundant and not of much value.

After all, Xuan Hui is very confident at the moment. He can completely complete in a short period of time what others may need a lifetime or even two lifetimes to complete. There is no need to waste years at all!

Therefore, burning the excess lifespan and turning it into a booster for his own sublimation is Xuan Hui’s most correct choice at the moment.

And he did just that.

For a moment, under the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, the fire of the source of life transformed from the blood of the Golden Crow was burning fiercely, using all the Dao as firewood to help Xuan Hui move towards a new stage.

During this process, Xuan Hui's own vital energy gradually weakened, his golden hair quickly turned gray, and wrinkles gradually crept up his cheeks, which had originally shown no signs of aging, making Xuan Hui seem to age in an instant.

But at the same time, in his five secret realms, a kind of aura of the Great Dao was gathering, and it was beating along with Xuanhui's heartbeat, becoming increasingly powerful.

　At the moment I have a very subtle idea of ​​updating more chapters quickly. I plan to combine the chapters first to accumulate manuscripts. I will try combining one chapter today. What do you think is better, a combined chapter of 4,000 words or two chapters of 4,000 words?
