The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 503 Breaking the Closed Loop of the Shrouding the Heavens Trilogy
"what"

"Lu Zhou, Holy Peng King, I will surely slay you all!"

Deep within the starry sky of the ancient road, roars echoed once more, shattering and obliterating some nearby meteorites.

This scene was sensed by some cultivators who happened to be lingering nearby.

They rushed towards the direction from which the sound was coming.

"It's a chaotic battle of tyrants."

"The men next to him are his followers!"

"It must have happened in the fiftieth city, and news of it reached the Overlord's ears."

One person's primordial spirit shook the starry sky, and he revealed his guess.

But he couldn't continue after saying that.

'brush'

Two beams of light, as thick as dragons, shot out from Hun Zhan's eyes and swept towards him.

"what"

The next instant, several screams rang out in the starry sky as holy blood and broken bones were swallowed by the dark starry sky.

Hun Zhan and his underlings had also disappeared from this place.

Soon after, news spread from the depths of the ancient road that Overlord Hun Zhan had learned of what had happened in the fiftieth city.

Someone saw that the Overlord had already set off on his purple Qilin mount and was heading back towards the fiftieth city.

Upon hearing this news, countless people were thrilled, especially those who had been waiting in the fiftieth city for a long time in order to witness this battle.

Just as the Overlord swiftly arrived at the fiftieth city, Lu Zhou and his group had already found the fourth-generation Source Master, Wu Yi.

During their encounter with Wu Yi, not only Qing Shi and Kane, but even Lu Zhou, who knew everything beforehand, was astonished when he saw the celestial divine map and the scene of the ghostly soldiers passing by.

He was also moved by it.

Words are too pale. Only those who have experienced it firsthand, those who have seen through everything, have the right to speak on such a grand scale as manipulating the stars.

'Emperor'.

These two words rose up in Lu Zhou's heart.

This is a madman. In order to enter the Immortal Realm and become stronger, he has gone so far as to want to refine the entire world.

The celestial array set up here is one of the formations he used to refine the world and break through to the Immortal Realm.

"The lineage of Master Yuan has a successor."

This was the first sentence Wu Yi uttered after being suppressed and regaining consciousness by Lu Zhou, as he looked at Lu Zhou.

The first thing he said when he saw Ye Fan after regaining consciousness in the original novel was exactly the same.

Lu Zhou did not ask Wu Yi what had happened.

He knew more than Wu Yi did.

After Wu Yi regained consciousness, Lu Zhou simply looked at him and sighed softly.

"Is there anything you haven't fulfilled?"

"If I can, I will do my best to help you fulfill your wish!"

Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, a look of surprise clearly appeared on Wu Yi's face.

His gaze swept over Lu Zhou, Qing Shi, and the others once more, before settling on Lu Zhou again. Then, with some surprise, he spoke to Lu Zhou.

"I thought you would ask me what happened, why our lineage of Yuan Tianshi encountered strange occurrences in our later years, why we grew red hair all over our bodies, lost consciousness, and became this inhuman and ghostly appearance."

"I even thought you would curiously ask me why, despite the vast difference in our eras, you are able to meet me, still alive at this moment."

"No, I can no longer be considered alive."

Lu Zhou did not interrupt Wu Yi, but patiently listened to him until he fell silent, his mood so low.

"I already knew everything!"

"Rest assured, I will completely end the scourge of immortality and the chaos of darkness. Those old immortals who have brought ruin to the world, and all the bastards who have used the Yuan Master lineage as experimental subjects, will all pay the price!"

Lu Zhou's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded very powerful to Wu Yi.

He looked at Lu Zhou for a long time, and then slowly smiled.

"Thank you!"

"Is there anything you haven't fulfilled?"

Lu Zhou sensed that Wu Yi's time was running out. His 'present life' was about to awaken again, suppressing the fragments of his past consciousness and transforming him once more into a soul summoner in the underworld.

As Wu Yi said, he was already dead and could no longer be considered alive.

Lu Zhou brought up the issue with Wu Yi again.

Out of consideration for being from the same lineage of the Yuan Celestial Masters, if Wu Yi has any last wishes that Lu Zhou can fulfill for him, Lu Zhou can grant them.

Wu Yi looked at Lu Zhou and gently shook his head.

In the end, Lu Zhou killed Wu Yi, who had once again become a summoner of the underworld.

This allowed him to be freed from suffering thirty years earlier than expected.

After eliminating Wu Yi, they didn't stay here long, as the conditions for the system to sign in hadn't been met.

It was clear that both Qing Shi and Sheng Peng Wang were deeply shocked by what they had seen and heard along the way, and their hearts were filled with all sorts of doubts.

Originally, Lu Zhou planned to return directly to the fiftieth city.

When they passed the star that buried the Holy Body, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and then led them to descend upon the star once more.

They landed on a not-so-high, desolate mountain. Lu Zhou waved his hand, and a Taoist altar and tea set appeared in front of them.

Hongluan and Ling'er understood immediately and quickly began to add incense and brew tea for everyone.

At this moment, Lu Zhou also spoke up and smiled at Qing Shi and the others.

"Ask whatever you want. Some things are harmless, and it's good for you to know sooner rather than later!"

"Just now, you also had the same strange red hair that Wu Yi had sprouted from your body several times. What's going on?"

"Furthermore, you also seem to have said that some terrifying being has used your Yuan Tianshi lineage as test subjects?"

"Is this related to the red hair that sprouted from you and Wu Yi?"

"How did all this happen?"

"And what is the calamity of immortality?"

"I also heard you mention the Dark Turmoil earlier."

Qing Shi and the others did indeed have many doubts in their hearts.

Kane, who had followed Lu Zhou for many years and had some understanding of certain things, was better.

Having followed Lu Zhou for decades, Kane had occasionally heard Lu Zhou mention some things, but only in passing.

In fact, this was the first time he had ever heard of the Calamity of Immortality in addition to the Dark Turmoil.

More than a month ago, Qing Shi had already learned from Ye Fan that Lu Zhou was a Source Master who cultivated Source Techniques.

But she had no idea what other strange things the Source Arts lineage would encounter.
She had only heard of the Yuan Tianshi lineage a little over a month ago.

After seeing Wu Yi's inhuman and ghostly appearance, she was very worried about Lu Zhou.

In fact, when they followed Lu Zhou across the starry sky along the meteorite path and suddenly saw red hair sprouting from Lu Zhou's body, Qing Shi had already asked Lu Zhou what was going on.

At that time, Lu Zhou spoke to Qing Shi, Ling'er, and the others.

"I'll tell you later."

Then, Qing Shi and the others, filled with worry and curiosity about Lu Zhou, continued until they met Wu Yi, and have continued to this day.

"In our Beidou region, there have always been strange legends about the lineage of the Yuan Celestial Master."

Lu Zhou held Qing Shi's hand, signaling her not to worry.

Then he began to explain to them, in detail, the questions that Qing Shi had just blurted out.

"In fact, all of this is because of the calamity of immortality!"

"And the so-called calamity of immortality must be mentioned in relation to the path to becoming an immortal."

"The Road to Immortality?"

Qing Shi pondered for a moment. "When I was on the ancestral planet, I obtained a tattered ancient animal hide."

"The animal hide notebook contains some scattered records about the path to immortality!"

"But those records are too scattered and fragmented. I have studied them for many years, and it seems that the ancient sages who recorded this information were saying that there are two paths to immortality!"

As Qing Shi said this, she also took out a tattered animal hide that looked very old.

Lu Zhou took the animal hide that Qing Shi handed him and unfolded it. Kane and the others crowded around to look at the contents recorded on the hide.

As Qing Shi said, the information recorded on the animal skin was indeed too scattered, and the skin was torn in many crucial places.

This makes it quite difficult to understand what is written on the animal skin.

Even so, it is clear that the ancient script recorded on the animal skin mentions the three words "path to immortality".

Qing Shi continued speaking from the side, explaining how she had studied the information recorded on the animal skin through a combination of guesswork and deduction.

From her perspective, the inscription on the animal skin seemed to suggest that there were indeed two paths to immortality.

However, it's unclear which two lines are correct. Perhaps even the being who recorded these details on this animal hide didn't know.

Lu Zhou rolled up the animal hide again and returned it to Qing Shi.

At the same time, he spoke up.

"As far as I know, there are many different versions of the path to immortality."

Qing Shi and the others all looked at Lu Zhou, listening intently.

"Some say it is a mysterious ancient road that allows living beings to walk on it and directly reach the immortal realm."

"Before we embarked on the human race's trial path, there were already many powerful cultivators in the starry sky who came to the Big Dipper from all over the starry sky in order to find the path to immortality that would appear there!"

"Besides this explanation, there's also the saying that the Path to Immortality refers to the path that cultivators throughout the world have walked in pursuit of the ancient methods to achieve immortality!"

"This statement can be understood as all the methods that people have tried and researched throughout history in order to achieve immortality!"

"For example, the Yuan Tianshi lineage, which became experimental subjects, and the half of the Reincarnation Seal within Wu Yi's body!"

What is the Seal of Reincarnation?

Qing Shi pressed for an answer.

"A person who has lived through countless lifetimes will accumulate a series of reincarnation marks within their body."

Lu Zhou explained it to Qing Shi and the others.

Is it really possible for someone to live life after life?

"I've only ever heard of elixirs that grant immortality, allowing people to live a second life!"

In Qing Shi's opinion, Wu Yi's situation clearly doesn't count as living out a next life.

Because Wu Yi is no longer the original Wu Yi.

A new 'spirit' has replaced the original Wu Yi.

At most, his physical body will endure.

Furthermore, his physical body also appears quite bizarre and unsettling.

"Yes! Some people can live on for lifetimes."

Lu Zhou answered very affirmatively.

"This"

Qing Shi and Ling'er were all shocked.

"If one could live life after life, wouldn't that be no different from becoming an immortal?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"That would indeed lead to immortality!"

"How easy is it to live on and on, life after life!"

"Throughout history and into the future, very few people have been able to achieve this."

"Furthermore, you clearly have some misunderstandings about becoming immortal!"

"What misunderstanding?"

"The misunderstanding is that becoming an immortal is becoming an immortal, and achieving immortality is achieving immortality!"

Even if you become an immortal, it doesn't mean you can live forever!

"The so-called immortality is nothing more than surpassing the peak of humanity and becoming another kind of life form with a longer lifespan."

Even immortals have a limited lifespan and can still be killed by beings stronger than themselves!

Therefore, becoming an immortal is not the same as achieving eternal life.

Lu Zhou's ultimate goal has never been to become an immortal.

What he wants is immortality!

What we want is to have no regrets on the sacrificial rites!

Once you know something, you should definitely give it a shot.

What if it succeeds?

He has this confidence.

He even strongly suspected that his future achievements might surpass those of the Three Heavenly Emperors who had reached the level of sacrificial rites.

If not, how do you explain his various intrusions into the world of "Covering the Sky" over the years?
His existence has already broken the closed loop of the "Covering the Sky" trilogy.

Over the years, he had long suspected that the reason he knew everything about Shrouding the Heavens was because of that 'mysterious self'.

Back then, when he first returned to Earth from Beidou, he found no trace of his origins and discovered that there was absolutely no information about the novel "Covering the Sky" on the internet.

Lu Zhou once suspected that some memories had been implanted into him by a powerful being.

He had been thinking about this for years.

If the closed-loop trilogy of "Covering the Sky" is true, he couldn't imagine anyone being able to cause trouble under the noses of the Three Heavenly Emperors without being detected.

Only beings stronger than the Three Emperors could accomplish this.

How could such an existence choose him from among countless beings?
The most likely answer is that he is that being.

Lu Zhou's imagination is exploding.

"Is it because a madman is bored and looking for fun?"

"Then, once you enter the Heaven-Covering Realm, you must retrace a different path of cultivation!"

"Or perhaps it's a being that has lived for so long, so ancient that it's almost gone mad, and is trying out some new experiment?"

"That's why he is who he is today, and why we have the current 'Covering the Sky'."

Lu Zhou didn't know.

After his imagination reached this point, he stopped speculating further.

Overthinking is pointless!
It will only cause more trouble.

Making the most of the moment is the most important thing.

He believed that as long as he lived, he would eventually figure everything out.

In the starry sky, Lu Zhou and the others were all comprehending and practicing the Overlord Fist.

They had all heard that Hun Zhan was rapidly advancing back to the fiftieth city.

Sure enough, not long after, a roar filled with intense killing intent resounded in the star field where the fiftieth city was located.

"Lu Zhou, I'm back! Get out here and face your death!"

It's a chaotic battle!
This guy is really determined to fight Lu Zhou.

He never took the Holy Peng King seriously.

She only had eyes for Lu Zhou.

He believed that challenging the followers of Ba Xian to a duel would be an insult to him, and would be a way of indirectly telling everyone that he was doing the same thing.

Even a tyrant is no match for a celestial being!
