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

Chapter 518 Sign-in: Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star
Lu Zhou and his group stood in the sky, looking down at the star below.

It must be said that if you look closely at this star, you can indeed find that its outline resembles the head of a creature.

Especially when you look at it in conjunction with some nearby stars, you'll find that it looks more like it was transformed from the head of a living being.

It's no wonder that there have always been rumors on Tianbing Star that the ancient star of Tianbing may have been transformed from the head of an unparalleled being.

While Qing Shi and the others were observing the star from a god-like perspective, Lu Zhou and Ye Fan were using the Origin Heaven Divine Technique to connect the star's mountains and rivers.

They are investigating the location of the head in Sendai.

With their current mastery of Origin Arts—one surpassing Origin Master and the other reaching Origin Master's level—they quickly deduced the location of Lingbao Tianzun's Immortal Platform.

After deducing the location of Sendai, Lu Zhou tore through space and then carried all of them deep underground on this planet.

This is an incredibly vast and empty underground space.

As soon as Lu Zhou and the others appeared here, they all immediately felt the scorching heat of the place.

They looked around and soon discovered that not far in front of them was a very large platform, on which divine flames were burning fiercely.

At first glance, it looked like a floating continent on fire.

It is precisely because of the divine fire burning fiercely here that the temperature here is so intense.

"That should be the altar of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao."

An extremely intense life force emanated from the high platform and was clearly sensed by everyone in Lu Zhou's group.

However, none of them, including the twelve saints such as Longma and the eighteen saint generals, showed any unusual reaction to this.

On their way here, they had already learned from Lu Zhou about the situations they would encounter.

"It's the Great Sage Fire Crow!"

Before long, through the raging flames, they all saw a fire raven covered in black feathers, with divine light flowing across its feathers.

As soon as Ling'er's voice fell, the Fire Crow Great Sage, who had been silent all along, opened his eyes, which had been closed for who knows how many years.

'brush! '

This scene resembled the beginning of time, and the entire underground space seemed to have become brighter.

At that moment, the temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

The Great Sage Fire Crow was reviving. When he opened his eyes, even someone as powerful as Emperor Ye Tian felt as if he had suddenly been targeted by some primordial ferocity.

As for Longma and the others, they were all terrified, and those with fur almost bristled.

This is the terror of a supreme sage.

Even the Great Sage Fire Crow, who was still in the process of reviving, made the Sages like Dragon Horse tremble with fear and unable to move.

But for Longma and his companions, this tremor came and went quickly.

This time, however, they did not flee in disarray as described in the original story.

The reason is obvious; it must be because of Lu Zhou again.

Wisps of nine-colored blood energy rose from Lu Zhou's body.

The aura emanating from Lu Zhou instantly soothed the terrifying pressure that the Fire Crow Great Sage had brought to everyone.

On the high platform, the Fire Crow Great Sage's pupils contracted, and his cold eyes, seemingly devoid of any emotion, suddenly fixed their gaze on Lu Zhou.

It was as if, at any moment, he would unleash a thunderous attack on Lu Zhou and his gang who had rashly intruded into this place, and kill them all here.

But soon, the Great Sage Fire Crow was moved once again.

Because he heard Lu Zhou speak to him very calmly.

"You don't need to stare at me like that!"

"It's best not to make any rash moves!"

"I don't want to fight you, nor do I intend to ruin Old Golden Crow's plan to be reborn as a second person!"

As Lu Zhou uttered these words, an aura no less powerful than that of the Fire Crow Great Sage also emanated from his body.

At the same time, wisps of supreme imperial might also emanated from Lu Zhou's body.

Lu Zhou is trying to intimidate the Great Sage Fire Crow.

He was telling the truth.

If possible, Lu Zhou really has no intention of killing the Fire Crow Great Sage and disrupting the old Golden Crow's Nirvana.

Although he also disliked the Golden Crow clan very much.

But if the future world were to lack that tragic Golden Crow Emperor, Lu Zhou always felt that the world of Shrouding the Heavens would be missing something.

Of course, this is just a minor reason.

At this moment, Lu Zhou was not actually sure whether the Golden Crow Emperor had any other backup plans besides having the Fire Crow Great Sage as his protector when he underwent Nirvana here.

Lu Zhou felt that the Golden Crow Emperor must have left behind some backup plan.

After all, a Fire Crow Great Sage who isn't even a quasi-emperor might be able to scare other people.

But in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the Fire Crow Great Sage is really nothing special.

There are too many powerful beings who can kill the Fire Crow Great Sage with a single glance.

This matter concerns whether the old Golden Crow can successfully live out its second life, and even more so whether the Golden Crow Emperor can attain enlightenment and become an emperor in the future.

Lu Zhou didn't believe that the old golden crow hadn't left behind any means to deal with a quasi-emperor suddenly coming to its door before its Nirvana.

One can imagine that the method must be astonishing and terrifying, perhaps even capable of killing a mid-stage Quasi-Emperor.

At worst, it should be able to save the Golden Crow Emperor from the attacking quasi-emperors.

Although Lu Zhou now has many methods.

That's enough for him to flatten and reshape the old Golden Crow.

But not many years later, a dark upheaval was about to erupt.

If he had used some of his methods against the Golden Crow Emperor, who was destined for tragedy in the future, before the Dark Turmoil broke out, it would have been a huge loss.

Apart from Lu Zhou, no one knew that Lu Zhou had these thoughts before coming here.

At this moment, both the last words Lu Zhou uttered and the wisps of supreme imperial might suddenly emanating from Lu Zhou's body caused the Fire Crow Great Sage, who had fully recovered, to be greatly alarmed!
The Great Sage Fire Crow never expected that someone no weaker than him would suddenly come knocking on his door with an ultimate imperial weapon.

What surprised him even more was that Lu Zhou actually knew that the golden divine egg on the altar, which was almost submerged by the immortal liquid, was actually the old golden crow from more than two thousand years ago.

And it is also known that the old golden crow is currently undergoing nirvana in order to live out its second life.

All of this caused the Great Sage Fire Crow's emotions to surge like a tidal wave, leaving him with a headache.

He was rendered speechless by Lu Zhou.

He remained silent, but Lu Zhou did not simply wait quietly.

Mr. Lu asked himself, "I've been very polite already."

If it were anyone else with his strength who came here and witnessed this scene...

Most of them have probably already launched ruthless attacks on the Fire Crow Great Sage and the old Golden Crow who is undergoing Nirvana, without saying a word.

After all, if this succeeds, it will not only eliminate a future formidable rival on the Emperor's Road ahead of time.

Who knows, it might even be able to refine the old golden crow that has turned into an egg, and thus obtain some heaven-defying fortune.

Even without these reasons, the Celestial Elixir of the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable alone is enough to make everyone who comes here fight for it.

Ripples were constantly spreading in the void, as Lu Zhou and his group were gradually traversing the void, attempting to ascend to the celestial platform of the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao.

"Quack."

"Stop!"

"What do you want to do?"

"You must not disturb the Great Emperor's cultivation, or you will suffer the consequences!"

Their actions immediately made the Great Sage Fire Crow's mind grow increasingly heavy.

As he spoke to stop Lu Zhou and the others, he also appeared with a 'whoosh' to block the Lingbao Tianzun's platform.

He looked fearless as he prevented Lu Zhou and his group from approaching Lingbao Tianzun's altar, fearing that they might disrupt the Nirvana of the Golden Crow Emperor.

His demeanor only reinforced Lu Zhou and the others' belief that the Golden Crow Emperor must have some other contingency plan before his Nirvana.

But whatever their backup plan, since Lu Zhou and his group have come here in such a grand manner, how could they possibly enter this treasure land empty-handed?

This is definitely not their style of doing things.

Lu Zhou stared at the Fire Crow Great Sage blocking his way, thought for a moment, and then spoke again in a slow voice, reiterating to the Fire Crow Great Sage.

"I've said it before, we have no intention of being your enemy, nor do we intend to disrupt the Golden Crow Emperor's Nirvana!"

"Now that we're here, we should definitely go up to the Celestial Venerable's Platform for a stroll and take some of the Celestial Venerable's Celestial Venerable's Elixir for our cultivation!"

"You can't stop us!"

"If you insist on forcibly blocking us, and the commotion you cause is too great, and you accidentally disrupt your Golden Crow Ancestor's Nirvana, then even if you die a thousand or ten thousand times, you will not be able to atone for your sins."

This is precisely what the Great Sage Fire Crow is most worried about at this moment.

He was not afraid of death, nor was he afraid of fighting Lu Zhou.

He feared that the Golden Crow Emperor might live out a second Nirvana and be disturbed by his great battle with Lu Zhou.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to be too forceful with Lu Zhou and the others.

He couldn't figure out Lu Zhou and the others' backgrounds, and he worried that if he angered Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou might start a major battle here.

However, he absolutely could not accept simply watching Lu Zhou and the others stroll around the Heavenly Venerable Immortal Platform and even take away some of the immortal liquid.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you can understand him.

Anyone who has never heard of Lu Zhou before, and who is dealing with him for the first time, would worry that Lu Zhou is deceiving them, that he is trying to get closer to the Old Golden Crow and then will kill him.

The Great Sage Fire Crow's mind raced; never before had he felt so frustrated.

If he could, he would love to kill Lu Zhou and the others right now.

But he dared not, nor was he confident. "Don't you think your request is excessive?"

Fire Crow Great Sage's eyes blazed with fire as he coldly stared at Lu Zhou, uttering these words almost through gritted teeth.

"Excessive?"

Ryoma suddenly yelled, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

And the twelve saints who shared his wicked ways, including the Exploding Bear Saint and the Nine-Tailed Crocodile, were already rolling around laughing, clutching their stomachs.

These guys are getting better and better at using their connections and influence.

They are confident that Lu Zhou, this great god, is backing them up, which has emboldened them to become increasingly bold.

Even though they knew that the Fire Crow Great Sage on the other side could kill them with just a sneeze.

They've become so arrogant that they no longer take the Fire Crow Great Sage seriously.

Longma completely ignored the increasingly gloomy expression on Fire Crow Great Sage's face, instead glancing at him sideways and spitting wildly at him.

"I'm telling you, old Deng, you're absolutely unreasonable!"

"Are you going to burn your brain while you're warming yourself by the fire?"

"Shouldn't you be thanking us for letting you and that old golden crow that's undergoing rebirth go?"

"You actually have the nerve to say that our demands are excessive?"

Honestly, what Ryoma said makes absolutely no mistake.

After all, that's what it is.

Fire Crow Great Sage also knew that what Dragon Horse said made sense.

But he doesn't accept this talk of reason or not.

Just like the saying goes, there is never any distinction between right and wrong in this world.

If so, it's only because they're each looking at things from different angles.

Being ridiculed and mocked by Longma and other ants whom he would never have given a second glance before, Fire Crow Great Sage was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

But for the sake of the bigger picture, he didn't dare to lash out.

He was suppressing his anger and trying to control himself.

His gaze once again fell upon Lu Zhou, whom he considered the only one qualified to speak with him.

Then, everyone heard the Great Sage Fire Crow speak again.

"Since you know this is the Great Emperor undergoing Nirvana, you should understand what this means!"

"I think you can also imagine that before the Emperor entered Nirvana, he must have had a backup plan that was enough to deal with an unexpected situation like today."

"I do not wish to cause any unnecessary trouble and delay the Great Emperor's Nirvana meditation, but if you press too hard, I will have no choice but to disturb the Great Emperor and ask him to take action personally!"

"The Emperor's power is beyond the comprehension of us mere Saint Realm cultivators!"

"I can sense that you are not very old, fellow Daoist. To have grown to this level at such a young age, I have high hopes for you, and I believe the Great Emperor will too!"

"If you can step back today, fellow Daoist, when the Great Emperor reigns over the world one day, you will surely be richly rewarded!"

Fire Crow Great Sage's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, firm yet soft, clearly indicating that he was discussing things with Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou had some thoughts on this, and at this moment he was unwilling to push the fire crow too hard.

Therefore, after the Great Sage Fire Crow finished speaking, Lu Zhou nodded and smiled as if he agreed with him.

How to take a step back?

"I can give each of you a drop of celestial elixir as a gift, but you must not approach the Celestial Venerable's Altar!"

Fire Crow Great Sage knew that if he didn't bleed a lot of money today, he definitely wouldn't be able to get rid of Lu Zhou and the others.

Therefore, he made this request with a pained expression.

"no!"

Lu Zhou refused outright!
"I want half of the elixir!"

Lu Zhou estimated that half of the immortal liquid should be the bottom line of the Fire Crow Great Sage and that old Golden Crow who was now unaware of its consciousness!

"This is impossible!"

Fire Crow Great Sage, as if a cat whose tail had been stepped on, angrily and loudly refused.

Lu Zhou was too lazy to haggle with him, so he spoke again in an unquestionable tone.

"You should understand that you are the one who has reservations now, but I want to wait until that old golden crow lives out its second life and use it as a whetstone on my path to enlightenment!"

"That's why I'm willing to take a step back, and I didn't intend to attack you right now!"

"Whether you believe it or not, you have no right to negotiate with me!"

"If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try!"

"Let's see if I can kill you and that old golden crow!"

"I'll say it one last time: I'm taking half of the immortal elixir with me, and we'll both ascend the Celestial Venerable Platform to cultivate and meditate for a period of time!"

One of the most fundamental purposes of Lu Zhou and his companions' trip to Tianbing Star was to spend some time on the Heavenly Venerable Immortal Platform to gain enlightenment and cultivate.

This is not open to discussion.

Sendai is one of the most mysterious places for cultivators.

It is especially worth mentioning that this is the celestial platform of Lingbao Tianzun.

Who knows, one of them might have the opportunity to comprehend cultivation on the Heavenly Venerable Platform and obtain some heaven-defying fortune.

This is also one of the reasons why Qing Shi, who has the "lucky koi" attribute, rushed over from the depths of the starry sky.

In addition, a long, long time ago, Lu Zhou had already decided that his sign-in on Tianbing Star must be done on the altar of Lingbao Tianzun.

He believed that this might allow him to obtain the complete Heavenly Venerable Scripture created by Lingbao Tianzun.

Therefore, they had to ascend to the celestial platform of Lingbao Tianzun.

There's no room for discussion on this.

Ultimately, under Lu Zhou's extremely assertive attitude, even though Fire Crow Great Sage was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree to all the conditions proposed by Lu Zhou.

But before that, he made two more requests.

"I will fetch the elixir for you!"

"The Celestial Venerable's platform is vast. We will each occupy one side, and you are not allowed to approach the Great Emperor!"

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Lu Zhou readily agreed to the two requests made by the Great Sage Fire Crow.

After everything was agreed upon, the Great Sage Fire Crow stepped aside.

In a flash, he appeared near the egg, and soon after, he delivered half of the Heavenly Venerable Immortal Liquid to Lu Zhou, who was already standing on the Heavenly Venerable Immortal Platform.

In the days that followed, both Lu Zhou's side and the Fire Crow Great Sage adhered to their agreement, and no one suddenly caused any trouble.

And indeed, the Celestial Venerable Platform contains mysterious and powerful energy.

Lu Zhou and the others each used a drop of the Celestial Venerable's Immortal Liquid. After a short period of enlightenment and cultivation on the Celestial Venerable's Immortal Platform, they all entered into profound moments of enlightenment for varying durations.

The shortest can last for several hours.

The longest could take half a month, or even a month.

To Lu Zhou's surprise, and to Ye Fan and the others' astonishment,

Qing Shi, who had chosen the "lucky koi" attribute, not only underwent a month-long deep enlightenment on the Heavenly Venerable Immortal Platform, but also gained something else here.

Qing Shi was intertwined with the Great Dao, like a celestial being descending to earth, appearing even more ethereal and otherworldly.

Two weeks after she entered a deep state of enlightenment, a grand chanting sound kept resounding in her ears.

Another half month later, when Qing Shi woke up from that profound epiphany, Lu Zhou heard Qing Shi smiling and saying to him.

"I obtained the Sendai Scroll and the Forbidden Chapter of the Lingbao Scripture."

This is truly a great blessing.

If Lu Zhou weren't a cheat code, and if his sign-in system weren't so consistently powerful...

So, in this trip to the Heavenly Star by Lu Zhou and his group, if we were to talk about who gained the most, it would definitely be Qing Shi.

[Ding! Host has checked in at the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star and obtained a complete copy of the Spiritual Treasure Scripture, which has been stored in the Host's Qiankun Pearl!]

The Lingbao Scripture is the scripture created by the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable.

The Sutra of Salvation is actually just one page from the miscellaneous chapters of the Lingbao Sutra.

"What a coincidence! I also obtained the Lingbao Sutra here, and it's even the complete version!"

"what?"

"You actually comprehended the entire Heavenly Venerable Scripture?"

This was the exclamation of Ryoma and the others.

"Really?"

"Great!"

Qing Shi, Ling'er, and Hong Luan are like this!
Their eyes crinkled with laughter!

As for the Great Sage Fire Crow in the distance.
His eyes were already as red as a rabbit's.

After Lu Zhou and his companions obtained everything they wanted, they did not linger on the Celestial Venerable Platform.

Before leaving, they didn't even say goodbye to the Fire Crow Great Sage, so as not to provoke the old fire crow again.

It was still Lu Zhou who, along with everyone else, directly tore through space.

Soon after, they appeared in the outer space of the ancient star of Tianbing.
