Chapter 327 A Glimpse into the Past: All Throughout History Seek Immortality (Part 2)
Synesthesia!!
This is the powerful ability brought by Yi Beidou's Heavenly Demon Sense, which can deeply sense the true meaning in objects, reproduce past scenes where the true meaning is retained, and even be called time travel!
Yi Beidou is now using this sensing ability, and the target he is sensing is the earth immortal cells belonging to Penglai Immortal Mountain within the Eastern King's body.

Having conducted previous research and investigations into the flesh and blood of the Earth Immortals, and with the additional information provided by Beretta, Yi Beidou now has a deeper understanding of the cells of the Earth Immortals.

One of these points is that the cells of the Earth Immortal contain remnants of the true essence of the original being, possessing a certain "intention" attribute. Even after the Earth Immortal cells have been refined, the ancients cannot completely remove this seemingly deep-rooted remnant.

However, under normal circumstances, the essence of the Earth Immortal cells is too high, and the residual will within them has an extremely strong self-protective instinct. Just like when Yi Beidou struck with his palm, the Earth Immortal's flesh and blood solidified into jade to resist the damage.

This self-protection is not only a material thing, but also a spiritual thing. Even the ancients would need to spend a lot of effort to refine it. It is a kind of temporary sensing on the battlefield, which even Yi Beidou's powerful Heavenly Demon Sensing cannot achieve.

Unless there is one possibility.

That is, having the same source of power to stimulate and pull, thereby breaking through that instinctive defense.

This was Yi Beidou's guess, but it now seems that the guess was successful.

Yi Beidou chose the Eastern King as his first opponent not only because the Eastern King's route was closest to their location, nor only because the Eastern King was targeting the Donghua martial artists in the East Sea and Penglai Immortal Mountain. This speculation was also an important reason that prompted him to take action.

He hoped to glean the true secrets related to the past earth immortals and Penglai Immortal Mountain from the Eastern King.

It must be said that the Sleeper's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations. Even when he was in his full potential, he was still suppressed by his opponent and even stepped into a dangerous situation. Even with the power of the same origin, he still found it difficult to sense the residual thoughts in the Earth Immortal's cells.

After all, the Earth Immortal cells within the Eastern King's body had been refined by him over many years, giving him considerable control over them, and the essential intent within them had become quite weak.

However, as Yi Beidou exerted increasing pressure on Dong Wang, he was forced to use even stronger Earth Immortal power to awaken and enhance the essential will within the Earth Immortal cells, finally reaching the critical point of Yi Beidou's synesthesia.

Now, what appears in his mind is not an illusion, but a real scene from the past!
A transcendent figure, dressed in a style unlike anything seen in any known era, stood atop the mountain peak, his body as smooth as jade—very likely a legendary ancient immortal!

The scene was shrouded in a mist, making it unclear. Perhaps it was because the incomplete will contained in the Earth Immortal's cells was too weak that Yi Beidou could not clearly discern the figure's specific appearance.

The person stands with their hands behind their back, seemingly gazing at the boundless sky from a mountaintop.

But the next moment.

hum! !

boom! !

The buzzing sound quickly grew stronger until Yi Beidou's entire synesthetic field of vision was vibrating.

No, it wasn't the image that was shaking, but the entire mountain range beneath that figure's feet that was violently trembling.

earthquake? !
No, the source of all the turmoil was that figure standing atop the mountain peak, seemingly gazing at the heavens.

Silently, his feet exerted force, constantly shaking the entire mountain peak. This force spread outwards, almost like a real earthquake.

The earth is shaking!!
Yi Beidou once encountered an opponent skilled in earth resonance, Yori, one of the three from the Star Kingdom's sea, land, and air forces. Every step he took could cause the earth to tremble, and when combined with his true intent, it was difficult for any living being within a hundred meters to stand, as if they were experiencing a magnitude 10 earthquake.

But that was merely a mental illusion created to match the true intention; it did not actually exist. In contrast, the presence of the synesthetic image at this moment truly caused a mountain to tremble and shake without a sound.

Moving mountains with human strength!

Wow! Wow!
Amid the tremors, boulders around the mountain peak rolled down the slope, and cracks began to appear on the mountainside.

These cracks crisscrossed, but were not dense; instead, they had a sense of order, as if they were deliberately formed under the force exerted by that figure.

What exactly is this person trying to do?
A hint of doubt flashed through Yi Beidou's mind.

The next moment, the figure flashed and arrived at the side of the mountain, placing his hand on a section of the mountain.

hum! !

A power, resembling both radiance and the texture of genuine jade, spread out, enveloping the rocks within a radius of ten to twenty meters in front of him.

boom! !

The figure's hand seemed to exert force, and with a slight tremor, the cracks in the mountain that had already appeared from the previous tremor burst open instantly, and the huge boulder covered in jade-like luster immediately slid off the mountain.

The figure then exerted force with its other hand, and an astonishing scene unfolded.

The huge boulder that had rolled down was actually lifted up by this figure.

The body, which is over two meters tall, forms a stark contrast with the mountain rocks, which are all over ten meters in length, width, and height. It looks as if a person is lifting up a small building.

In fact, the weight of this boulder is even more terrifying than that of a small building.

At the same time, a strange feeling permeated Yi Beidou's heart.

While the scene is certainly breathtaking, it also has a sense of incongruity that defies the laws of physics.

Even if this person truly possessed the terrifying strength to lift a building, such a small fulcrum, given the strength of the rocks, should not have remained intact; it would likely have been damaged.

Is it the jade-like power that envelops it?

Yi Beidou's heart stirred, and he began to make some guesses.

What followed was even more shocking.

hum! !

An even larger area of ​​jade-like radiance spread out from beneath the figure's feet. The figure's legs were slightly bent and arched, and the waist lowered while the arms suddenly exerted force.

Boom!

The air exploded with a terrifying roar, and the boulder instantly tore through the air, creating concentric ripples around it as it flew away at an incredibly fast speed.

This figure, seemingly an immortal being, actually hurled a boulder the size of a building at an astonishing speed!

Even now, Yi Beidou is still deeply moved by this scene.

In his perfect state, he might have the power to lift such a boulder at his peak, but to throw it at such a terrifying speed, Yi Beidou simply couldn't do it now.

To put it simply, even if he had that kind of physical strength, the moment he exerted his power, it wouldn't be that the boulder was thrown out, but that the entire boulder would shatter.

It's like someone lifting a large block of tofu and trying to throw it; it's not something that can be done simply by having strength.

The boulder was thrown far away and quickly disappeared from the view, but the figure did not stop. He moved and placed his palm on another mountain wall, repeating the same action.

He lifted another boulder high and hurled it towards the direction of the previous boulder.

Yi Beidou seemed to have noticed something and guessed the purpose of the figure's actions.

He seems to be quarrying stones?!

hum!hum!hum!
Suddenly, the synesthetic image flickered and became blurry. When the image became clear again, it was a different scene. The figure was still there, but the scene was no longer on the mountaintop, but on a beach.

At this moment, huge rocks are piled up on the beach, like a mountain that suddenly appears on the sand.

Clearly, these boulders were shattered and thrown here from a mountain peak some distance from the beach by this figure.

Seeing this scene, Yi Beidou's heart stirred slightly, and he already had a guess.

brush! !

The figure moved at a speed that was almost like teleportation, and in the blink of an eye, it had arrived at the highest point of the mountain peak made of piled-up boulders.

He sat down cross-legged there, his palms, as white as jade, spread out, his fingertips touching the stone beneath him.

Then, the skin on his palms split open automatically, and blood, seemingly shimmering with light, flowed out from his body.

Blood of an Earth Immortal!!
It seeps into the rock and spreads rapidly.

These rocks seem to be being transformed by this person's blood, with tiny holes appearing on them, and a unique and unusual aura seems to be emanating from them.

Sure enough!

Yi Beidou's suspicions were confirmed.

After killing the sorcerer, Yi Beidou gained control of the Immortal Mountain, but due to his severe injuries, he was unable to go into seclusion to recuperate. Cheng Zhihong of the Fengshen Organization, on the other hand, remained on the Immortal Mountain.

This person explored the Immortal Mountain to some extent and discovered that the stone that constitutes the main body of the Immortal Mountain is very special. It is a dark red stone with a porous structure that does not belong to any known type of stone and seems to hide the deep secrets of the Immortal Mountain.

At the time, Cheng Zhihong had speculated that it might be made of some kind of ancient stone or even a meteorite, but now it seems that it is clearly a stone that has been modified by the blood of an earth immortal.

What Yi Beidou is seeing in his synesthesia is the creation process of the Penglai Immortal Mountain, or the legendary Three Immortal Mountains overseas!
The figure sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak made of giant rocks. A peculiar force field surrounded his body, seemingly very similar to the power of Penglai. The blood between his palms flowed like a spiritual spring, seemingly never to run dry.

Clearly, this figure possesses the magic of Penglai and has an extremely terrifying ability to regenerate.

More and more stones were stained by the blood of the Earth Immortal, and their shapes changed drastically, turning into the dark red ore that Yi Beidou had once seen on Penglai Immortal Mountain. Moreover, the gaps between the stones disappeared as the blood of the Earth Immortal permeated the rocks.

The mountain, built of massive stones, soon became almost a single, bare, dark red peak.

A feeling suddenly arose in Yi Beidou's heart.

If the Penglai Technique can make blood flow continuously, and blood must contain cells, does that mean that the earth immortals who master this technique can create earth immortal cells without restriction?
He recalled his previous experience on Penglai Mountain and dismissed the guess.

First, there is no active aura like that of immortal cells in the rocks of Penglai Immortal Mountain. Second, if those rocks really contained immortal cells, they should have been devoured by someone long ago.

True immortal cells must possess deeper mysteries and secrets.

The scene shifts, the mountain takes shape, and the figure leaps down from the mountaintop.

His palm rested on the edge of the mountain, and the jade-like radiance spread out again, extending along the mountain and eventually covering the entire mountain peak and the beach below.

The figure used its arms to lift a corner of the immortal mountain from the edge, and then continued to lift the mountain along the gap, gradually moving deeper into the center of the mountain's base.

It was as if an ant had lifted up a huge sandwich.

In the end, this figure actually carried the entire immortal mountain on its back!
Although the mountain now only has its main structure, its weight is probably no less than that of some large cruise ships. What terrifying physical qualities and strength this is?
Shouldering mountains and carrying rivers!

Yi Beidou couldn't help but recall some ancient legends.

It now seems that all legends have their origins.

Is this the terrifying power of a living, true immortal?

It is indeed an existence that crushes everything, another form of life.

Cheers! !

The next moment, Yi Beidou heard a low shout, and the entire earth shook violently. Sand and dust flew wildly on the beach, and air waves rolled and rippled in the void.

The dark red mountain suddenly rose from the ground, soared into the air, drew an arc, and flew towards the distant sea.

An entire mountain peak was thrown into the air.

The jade-like energy still covered the area, and after a short period of gravitational acceleration, the mountain fell heavily onto the sea.

The waves surged, and most of the mountain peaks sank into the waves, but in the next moment they suddenly floated up again, swaying and rising with the rolling waves.

It was like a giant cruise ship being thrown into the sea.

This scene has an unimaginable impact and shock.

Before Yi Beidou could recover, the screen shook violently again, flipping upside down like fragments, flashing countless scattered images.

Yi Beidou could roughly discern that the immortal mountain was changing. The earth immortal who created the immortal mountain was opening the mountain and taking on disciples. Many figures, undaunted by risks, crossed the vast ocean to seek the Dharma and the Dao, creating a scene of vitality and fervor.

I don't know exactly how many years ago or what era this was.

Suddenly, the rapidly flashing image stabilized again, and this time it was another segment that lasted for a relatively long time.

Inside a wooden house, there were various restrictive array patterns. From these patterns, Yi Beidou was able to deduce that the scene was probably located in the Penglai Pavilion at the top of Penglai Immortal Mountain.

The familiar figure sat cross-legged on the ground. Beside him were two other figures whose faces were not clearly visible, but from the powerful qualities naturally emanating from them, it could be seen that they were probably two true Earth Immortals.

Are the three immortal mountains overseas truly home to three earth immortals?

Yi Beidou had a guess in his mind.

The three seemed to be chatting idly, or perhaps discussing philosophy. Many of their voices were very indistinct, like babbling and difficult to understand. Even if they could understand, Yi Beidou might not be able to comprehend them, as their language was probably quite different from modern speech.

However, during the conversation between the three, the figure of the earth immortal from Penglai Immortal Mountain suddenly seemed to be moved and spoke, not in words, but with a shockwave of will, as loud as thunder.

Even Yi Beidou could perceive the true meaning behind this method.

The moment Yi Beidou realized the true meaning behind the man's words, even his pupils contracted.

This sentence means:

"How exactly can one become a true immortal?"
