In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 554 [Why is this old man pretending to be young?]

Lin Xian initially had some doubts about the identity of the Golden Crow Emperor, but he wasn't very confident. After all, the Golden Crow race was incredibly powerful, with a ruthless ancestor who had established the Heavenly Court. He was a legitimate Heavenly Emperor of the Immortal Realm and was almost on his way to becoming a Dao Ancestor.

It's quite normal for a few prodigies with reverted bloodlines to their ancestral lineage to emerge from the descendants of such a celestial being.

Adhering to the principle of "going all in even if there's no chance," Lin Xian happened to encounter a certain "little king" who claimed to be the son of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, and decided to test him out.

This initial probing resulted in a major explosion.

"You old fool who has lived a second life, the dignified Demon Emperor of the Golden Crow Clan, come to my Heavenly Court to pretend to be young, huh? You are truly cunning beyond measure."

Lin Xian smiled broadly, engaging in casual conversation and playing games with the young Di Jun, but inwardly she felt a chill.

Joking aside, let's not underestimate the Golden Crow Emperor. In fact, his vital energy is so strong that he can be considered the supreme ruler of the world. Anyone who comes here should be wary of him.

"I am deeply grateful for the Holy Lord's trust in sending me to the Feathered Star Region. May I ask what brings you here?"

The young Emperor Junyou was also a shrewd fellow. He was unhurried and, while playing a game of cat and mouse with Lin Xian, he kept trying to extract information.

"I am going to the Feathered Starfield to visit an old friend I have known for a long time. I should have gone there in person, but recently, due to my cultivation of profound arts, my realm has fallen to the Immortal Platform, and I am unable to travel through the starry sky."

Lin Xian said earnestly, "I can only ask Fellow Daoist Taiyi to come out of the mountains and pay a visit for me. I will be there in a few years."

"Can't travel through the starry sky? You're kidding me." Di Jun sneered inwardly. With the Heavenly Court's current power, setting up a five-colored altar would be a piece of cake.

He continued, "I wonder who this old friend of Lord Lin is, and why we cannot invite him to the Heavenly Court?"

“My old friend is also physically disabled, but he is a Holy Spirit born of Heaven and Earth.” Lin Xian said regretfully, “Not long ago I asked a fellow Daoist from the Divine Organization to look for him, but unfortunately there has been no news for a long time. I think that the Golden Crow is of the bloodline of immortals and may be close to the Holy Spirit, which is why I have troubled fellow Daoist Taiyi.”

"If you find it, tell him that the Heavenly Court found the Heaven-Mending Technique in the Daoist Well that can perfect the foundation of the Holy Spirit and enable it to be born ahead of time."

"The Heaven-Mending Technique, a Holy Spirit yet to be born." The Golden Crow Demon Emperor's heart skipped a beat. The Dao Venerable Ancient Well had just refined a Great Perfection Holy Spirit, and now another Holy Spirit had been born on the Feathered Star. Could it be a Holy Spirit that is about to reach perfection?

If it were to be born prematurely, coupled with the Heaven-Mending Technique, it would become a formidable obstacle on the path to success.

The Holy Spirit Clan has no shortage of emperors, such as the Spirit Emperor of the Divine Ruins and the Stone Emperor of the Undying Mountain. The now-destroyed Broken Sky Mountain Range was once the ancestral land of the Holy Spirits.

“My Holy Spirit friend was an expert in the method of Nirvana, and my path to the Golden Elixir is closely related to him.”

Lin Xian smiled and took out half of the Heaven-Mending Technique, handed it to Di Jun, and instructed him, "I see that you are quite interested in the Golden Core Immortal Path, so I have specially arranged for you to go to the Feathering Star Domain."

"Nirvana!" The young Emperor Jun seemed to understand something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, Holy Lord."

"It's all what I should do." Lin Xian smiled. It's better to exile the old Golden Crow, this ticking time bomb, to the Feathered Star than to keep it by his side.

The right thing to do is to let heroes investigate heroes and good men investigate good men. For example, the Seven Primordial Emperors who occupy the Eternal Starfield are not just a few individuals. Two or three ancient emperor bodies can easily sweep through the Eternal Starfield. Yet, seven of them have come. This level of caution is not something that the ancient Eternal Starfield with only one imperial weapon deserves. Only fellow Daoists who are also in forbidden zones of life can inspire fear.

After experiencing the baptism of the Seven Primordial Emperors, Lin Xian suddenly realized that only by causing chaos among the Supreme Beings could he have the opportunity to leverage the situation and fish in troubled waters.

"Your Majesty's kindness and virtue are beyond repayment..." The young Emperor Jun pretended to be grateful and tearful, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lin Xian to observe the change in his expression. Lin Xian was also watching him.

Their eyes met, and they sized each other up. Both were young and full of life, so they quickly looked away, chuckled, and then silently cursed in their hearts, "What are you old fools pretending to be young for!"

Lin Xian is currently only in the Sendai Secret Realm, but neither Di Jun nor Luan Gu took it seriously.

They're all old fogies who've been reborn from the ashes. Who doesn't know who else? As for superficial understanding, anyone who believes in that is doomed.

The seemingly harmless little girl, usually innocent and naive, is like a mascot, but when it comes to a life-or-death situation, even the most powerful person would be reduced to a meal.

Then there's the Underworld Emperor Duan De. He seems slick and mercenary, someone anyone could take advantage of. But if he were truly driven to the brink, and casually threw out a few Reincarnation Seals, things would get really out of hand. Even the eternally existing forbidden zones of life would probably be buried with him.

Judging others by his own standards, Old Golden Crow absolutely did not believe that Lin Xian was a person of this era. He pondered for a moment and asked, "I wonder when the Holy Lord will arrive at Feather Star, so that this disciple may be prepared."

"It could take a few hundred years, or even seven or eight hundred thousand years," Lin Xian clicked his tongue and said dismissively, "It won't be long, just a few years."

"Perhaps after he has seen half of the Heaven-Mending Technique, he will come to the Heavenly Court to see me himself."

"So be it." Jinwu Dijun pondered for a moment and stopped asking questions. So what if the Holy Spirit on the Feathered Starfield was about to reach the Great Perfection? He had lived a second life and was about to become a Daoist in the final leap. What dragon's den or tiger's lair was there that he couldn't go to? It wasn't the Big Dipper Burial Emperor Star.

After the Golden Crow transformed into a rainbow and flew away, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's son raised an eyebrow and said, "What's up, Fellow Daoist Lin? Does the Feathered Ascension Star have a way to cure this Supreme Being?"

"Hard to say, hard to say." Lin Xian shook his head. Both of them were outstanding talents who had lived a second life and embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world. They were all incredibly talented.

The Feathered Emperor is a genuine third-generation emperor. Once he succeeds, he will be a Heavenly Emperor-level figure, and might even be able to defy the mortals and immortals.

However, his current condition is not good, and his Dao fruit is easily ruined. The old Golden Crow is a little short. Although he is not a proper Great Emperor, he is still the supreme being of this world. It is still unknown who will win.

"What is your intention in sending the Golden Crow to the Feathered Star?" The Chaotic Emperor's son was puzzled. He thought that Lin Xian wanted to cooperate with the Holy Spirit on the Feathered Star to set a trap and kill the old Golden Crow.

"drag!"

Lin Xian said decisively, "The longer it drags on, the more you earn, the more opportunities you grasp, and the bigger the game you can play."

"If we can just hold out for one or two hundred years, everything will be fine!"

“One or two hundred years.” The Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s son said thoughtfully, “He’s referring to the path to immortality in the Big Dipper. Once the path to immortality opens, the scene will be extremely chaotic. The originally gentle and affectionate supreme beings will instantly turn into jackals and tigers. They will abandon all reason, human feelings, and kinship. It will probably be a catastrophe.”

Faced with the hope of becoming an immortal, no one can be trusted. The Dragon Emperor will waver, and the Blood Phoenix Emperor will be tempted.

No matter how eloquently Lin Xian spoke, it ultimately couldn't compete with the promise of immortality. Supreme beings are all confident; if their Dao hearts were swayed by a few words, they wouldn't deserve to be called supreme beings. After all, they've been trampled upon for countless ages, let alone a mere path to immortality.

Everyone has a bit of wishful thinking. If you were able to overpower countless geniuses and become an emperor back then, why can't you fight your way out and ascend to immortality in this life?

"It doesn't matter, I will take action." Lin Xian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the heavens, and said calmly, "Have you ever heard of the supreme divine power of the Chaotic Ancient Era, the 'Suppressing Chaos Technique'?"

"The Chaotic Ancient Era..." The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's son was solemn. His name was Chaotic Ancient, and he had a deep connection with that era. He had gained a lot of things from the Chaotic Ancient Era on his path to success, and he was also mysteriously involved in it.

"In the chaotic ancient era, there was an unparalleled sword technique called the Grass Character Sword Art, which could quell turmoil. A single grain of dust could fill the sea, and a single blade of grass could sever the sun, moon, and stars!"

Lin Xian said leisurely, "If darkness and turmoil sweep across the heavens, I, Lin Xian, have a single leaf that can cover the universe and obscure the sun and moon, subdue demons and suppress forbidden zones, command the gods and all spirits, pluck stars and shatter the firmament, and establish a heavenly court to usher in eternal peace!"

"The Grass Character Sword Technique, a single leaf quells the chaos!" The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's son was moved. He had never seen such a level of divine power before, neither in this life nor the previous one. What confidence this was! It was beyond the reach of the mortal world, as if it were a method of immortality.

Could it be that Lord Lin is truly an old monster from the Chaotic Ancient Era, a legendary reincarnation of a true immortal, and therefore fearless in the face of darkness and turmoil?

"With the current size of the Heavenly Court, it may not be able to save all living beings, but it is more than enough to protect the primordial wilderness and the source of life such as Ziwei in critical moments."

Lin Xian countered, "As for you, why do you claim to be the son of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, not a spirit of the Emperor's corpse? Why are you unwilling to acknowledge your past life?"

Is the cycle of the universe really that frightening? Everyone is stubbornly denying it, and not one of them is willing to admit it.

"In my current state, I can't be called a person. Whether it's reincarnation or rebirth, I'm neither a pure Chaos Ancient nor a pure Wang Teng."

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor sighed and said, "Strictly speaking, I haven't lived a third life. I'm just a wisp of soul that has returned to the mortal world in borrowed a body. Sooner or later, I will have to go back."

Therefore, he called himself the Prince of Chaos, but he was not the prince of Chaos, but rather half of Chaos and half of the prince.

“But if you live out your fourth life, and keep living life after life, wouldn’t you never have to go back?” Lin Xian selectively eliminated other possibilities and went straight to the heart of the matter.

No matter what method is used to return to the mortal world, that is a form of living.

Just like the true spirit of Amitabha Buddha, living in the hearts of all beings, if he were to reappear one day, even if he denied his past life, the result of his enlightenment would be undeniable. It would be the result of his third incarnation, far surpassing that of the person who became emperor in the past.

“How difficult it is to live through life after life, not everyone is like her.” The Chaotic Ancient Emperor sighed softly, then pointed a finger and a dazzling Void Mirror appeared. He had once obtained a part of the Void Inheritance and had a very high level of mastery of the Great Dao of Space, which was why he was able to escape with his life time and time again.

The reflection in the mirror reveals the little girl's identity. She laughs and runs across the grassland, with a kind-hearted pine tree taking care of her. The scene is beautiful.

To remain untainted by worldly affairs and thus approach immortality—how many can achieve this? In the Heavenly Court, only Xiaosong and Xiaonannan have the best relationship, far surpassing that of Yaoguang and Luangu, because their hearts are similar.

"Some methods of achieving longevity can be learned."

Lin Xian said very seriously, "For example, eating fruit is a simple and straightforward method that can be repeated. There is no need for any special operation; all you need is a mouth. It's not anything profound."

"But without a wise method, one emperor after another was able to live a second life, extending their lifespan by tens of thousands of years."

"You've found a way to achieve immortality repeatedly?" A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's son, his heart trembling with shock.

Throughout history, those who sought immortality experimented with various methods to achieve it, some sacrificing their lives, others seeking the elixir of immortality, and still others gathering the power of faith. All these methods were remarkable, but ultimately, there was no solution.

If Lin Xianruo can find it, it won't be a complete solution, but it will at least solve part of the problem, and its impact on the universe and the path of cultivation will be profound.

This is to increase the foundation of the universe, to open up the path to advancement in the cultivation world, and to accumulate merit for all ages. Based on this achievement, he can be called the Dao Ancestor!

"There are always some paths in this world that intersect. It's not a matter of which is superior or inferior; they just happen to meet occasionally," Lin Xian said. "The Ruthless Great Emperor transformed into a chaotic body and lived a second life, which future generations can emulate."

“Difficult, difficult, difficult.” The Chaotic Ancient Emperor’s son uttered three “difficult” words in succession. Even he, a supreme emperor, found the method difficult, so it was simply not applicable to ordinary supreme beings.

“Sometimes, even Nirvana requires the help of external forces.” Lin Xian coughed and said, “I heard that the Underworld is also researching the Chaos Body and is about to produce results. If we could get our hands on the resources that the Underworld has accumulated over millions of years…”

"The Underworld!" The Chaotic Emperor's son suddenly stood up. He had dealt with the forbidden area of ​​the Underworld before and had indeed studied the Great Dao of Chaos quite deeply. If he could unite with it, he might be able to transform into a Chaos Body in this life.

At that time, he will no longer be the Chaotic Ancient Emperor's Son, but the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor of Three Generations.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Underworld currently only has one emperor and two venerables, not many supreme beings. The real problem is the Heavenly Nether Treasure. Once the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is in place, we can begin our attack on the Underworld."

Lin Xian smiled slightly, painted a rosy picture for Luan Gu, and casually increased Ye Fan's strength.

Why bother with the incomplete Chaos Body Yao Guang? Let Senior Brother Luan Gu mount his horse and show Xiao Ye what a flawless Chaos Body is, a body rebuilt by the Three Great Emperors.

"The Chaotic Body is good, but it is difficult to replicate."

After calming down, the Chaotic Emperor's son shook his head. Like the good fortune of a ruthless person, the opportunities in the underworld are few and far between. Only one or two chaotic bodies can be born occasionally, and it is impossible to achieve mass production.

This is an individual's limit, not the opening up of a new path of spiritual practice.

“A Chaotic Body is hard to come by, but we can settle for second best. If we can’t have a biological son, we can have an adopted one.” Lin Xian said meaningfully, “A Holy Spirit is born of Heaven and Earth, blessed by the heavens, and is also the supreme Dao.”

"Transformation into a Holy Spirit? This path has existed since ancient times, yet no one has verified it." The Chaotic Emperor's son pondered. This was a method of achieving immortality researched by an ancient supreme being.

The current quasi-emperor of the divine race is using it, which has allowed him to extend his lifespan by ten thousand years.

"Wait, the Heaven-Mending Technique!"

The Chaotic Ancient Emperor's son suddenly shuddered and looked at the stone token in Lin Xian's hand. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he would witness the birth of a repeatable path to immortality.

After taking the elixir of immortality, one is reborn as a holy spirit in the second life. If one adds the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, one is reborn as a fourth life!
