The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 116 Ancient Immortal Techniques and Nirvana Rebirth (10K10K)

In the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm of the Immortal Emperor, Chu Tianshu discovered a book of immortal gold. He originally thought it contained the Immortal Emperor's own scriptures, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a special kind of magic.

This method is completely different from the Human Body Secret Realm Method that Chu Tianshu is currently practicing.

Although the initial stage also involves tempering the physical body, the Immortal Realm Method does not emphasize developing the potential gates deep within the human body.

In the later stages, this method involves fusing individual immortal seeds into the body, using the immortal seeds as a foundation for cultivation.

The more perfect the quality of the immortal seed, the stronger the potential of the cultivator who fuses with the immortal seed, and the higher the upper limit will naturally be.

Chu Tianshu had already seen the clues from the moment he fused with the immortal seed.

The current Human Body Secret Realm Method is essentially derived from the Immortal Realm Method, but when they reach the point of merging with the Immortal Seed, they begin to take completely different paths.

The former uses the body as a seed, opening doors to potential and developing individual human secret realms, which is to seek self-realization.

The latter is based on the Immortal Seed, and through merging with the Immortal Seed, it communicates with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, reaching the source and seeking from Heaven and Earth.

In Chu Tianshu's view, both methods have their own unique features.

The Human Body Secret Realm Method does not rely much on heaven and earth; whether one can reach the highest level depends entirely on the individual's talent and ability.

This is very beneficial for cultivators with average aptitude but good talent.

The Ancient Immortal Method has very high requirements for the Immortal Seed. The more perfect the Immortal Seed, the greater the potential and strength enhancement for the cultivator, and the higher the dependence on heaven and earth.

If the world is intact and resources are abundant, and there is an opportunity to fuse with a perfect Dao Seed, the potential of the Immortal Ancient Method should not be underestimated.

However, if the world is incomplete and resources are scarce, then the advantages of the Human Body Secret Realm Method become apparent.

"A good method, but unfortunately the world is no longer suitable for cultivation."

After careful study, Chu Tianshu discovered that the Ancient Immortal Method did indeed have many merits.

However, it has one drawback: cultivation is too slow and it is heavily dependent on the natural environment.

Given the current state of the human realm, let's set aside whether there are still any immortal seeds; the slow pace of cultivation alone is unacceptable to Chu Tianshu.

"It is likely that in the distant past, before the time was known, the human world also practiced this kind of method or a similar method."

"Unfortunately, a great war that affected all the heavens and myriad worlds caused a huge change in the human world, making it no longer suitable for this method."

"Later, a powerful figure intervened and created the Human Body Secret Realm Method based on the method of merging the body with the immortal seed."

"After a long period of refinement, it was finally perfected in the mythological era, forming a complete cultivation system."

According to Chu Tianshu, before the mythological era, there was a time of war, which eventually culminated in a great war to settle all scores.

The result of the great war was that everything was destroyed, and the human world was completely shattered.

Moreover, even in this present era, the human realm continues to decline.

Under such circumstances, traditional methods become outdated.

After a long evolution, the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation finally merged the five great human body secret realms of the Sea of ​​Wheels, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Transformation Dragon, and Immortal Platform into one, completing the ultimate leap and becoming the first Supreme Being of the Dao to attain enlightenment in the mythological era.

Only then did the Human Body Secret Realm Method gradually become perfected, replacing the Immortal Realm Method.

Not long after, Chu Tianshu also discovered the Undying Emperor Scripture created by the Undying Emperor, and after studying it, he gained quite a bit of insight.

Regardless, the Undying Emperor is an ultimate being who walks the path of immortality in the mortal world, and he has his own unique views on the path of immortality.

In particular, his true form is a celestial phoenix, which is extremely skilled in the method of rebirth.

"It's a pity the Kunlun Immortal Bell isn't here."

Chu Tianshu sighed. He searched the body of the Undying Emperor for a long time but still could not find the Kunlun Immortal Bell.

Chu Tianshu was also very curious about this Kunlun Immortal Bell.

Before the Immortal Emperor attained enlightenment, he used a blood-stained Kunlun Immortal Bell to launch a sneak attack, which severely injured the Emperor.

Even though the Emperor was limited by the similar flower of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable at that time, his true form was still incredibly powerful.

The fact that the Kunlun Immortal Bell could severely injure a Heavenly Emperor-level being by the hands of someone who had not yet attained Dao is truly terrifying.

However, the Kunlun Immortal Bell was originally lent to the Undying Emperor by the Kunlun remnants, who wanted to use him to avenge the Emperor. It was reasonable for the Kunlun Immortal Bell to escape afterward.

Chu Tianshu shook his head, no longer dwelling on these matters, and instead focused his energy on the corpse of the Immortal Phoenix.

This is a genuine celestial spirit; if one could comprehend even a fraction of it, one should be able to glean some insights.

After all, when Chu Tianshu was researching the true form of the Divine Emperor, he developed a method for transformation.

There's no reason why the Celestial Phoenix, renowned for its rebirth and transformation, wouldn't be able to comprehend it.

In an instant, Emperor Chu Tianshu opened and closed his eyes, and unparalleled immortal light burst forth as he carefully examined the corpse of the immortal phoenix before him.

Although the corpse of the immortal phoenix lay motionless in the main hall, its aura was terrifying, and the imperial aura emanating from it seemed to distort the surrounding space and time.

This phoenix was exceptionally beautiful, without a single injury on its body. Its pupils were closed, as if it were asleep, and occasionally it exuded an otherworldly aura, unlike any mortal. Through the multicolored light enveloping the phoenix's corpse, Chu Tianshu saw Dao patterns deeply engraved on its fur, flesh, and even bones, extremely complex, as if explaining the phoenix's path to rebirth.

"There isn't even a trace of death aura left. Could it be that it can be reborn from the ashes?"

Chu Tianshu was somewhat surprised. He had completely severed the life force of the immortal phoenix in front of him, but it was not shrouded in deathly aura. It was still full of vitality, as if it was just sleeping.

This piqued Chu Tianshu's interest. Could it be that the Immortal Phoenix Clan was truly so extraordinary?
Even if life is cut off, can it still come back?

But soon, Chu Tianshu overturned his previous guess.

"It seems that if we hadn't destroyed the Immortal Emperor's primordial spirit back then, he might have actually been able to return from the ashes."

Under his investigation, the body of the Immortal Phoenix did indeed show signs of rebirth, but unfortunately the primordial spirit of the Undying Emperor was completely obliterated by him, leaving no trace.

Even if the immortal phoenix were to be reborn from the ashes, it would not be an immortal emperor, but a completely new being.

This situation is almost similar to those who communicate with spirits through corpses; it requires a long gestation period before a new primordial spirit can be born within the body.

However, the reborn spirit does not acknowledge its past life, believing itself to be a completely new being with no connection to the previous one.

"Could it be that the inspiration for the Celestial Venerable's path to immortality in the mortal world came from this?"

After some thought, Chu Tianshu realized that the Phoenix's rebirth was indeed similar to the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable's burial of himself.

"I wonder if I can comprehend the Phoenix's method of rebirth and apply it to myself?"

Chu Tianshu began to deduce the results.

If one can apply the method of Nirvana and rebirth to oneself, then even if one's transformation on the path to immortality in the mortal world goes terribly wrong, there is no need to worry about losing all one's cultivation over several lifetimes and dying and disappearing.

He could have used the power of rebirth to gradually gather the fragments of his primordial spirit together and then defy fate to return.

After all, the next life is crucial, as Chu Tianshu will dissolve his chaotic body and completely transcend its constraints.

Moreover, in order to ensure a 100% success rate in eliminating the chaotic body, Chu Tianshu chose the already extremely dangerous silkworm molting method.

The combined effects of these two factors mean that the perilous nature of his next life's transformation will far exceed his imagination.

Although Chu Tianshu was confident in himself, he couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any problems.

If he can figure out the Phoenix's method of rebirth and rebirth at this time, even if a major problem arises in the end, he will still have the possibility of defying the heavens and making a comeback.

The more Chu Tianshu deduced, the more feasible the method seemed.

Originally, he wanted to comprehend the gestation process of the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit, and if the transformation failed, he would transform himself into the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit.

But the rebirth of the immortal phoenix's corpse at this moment is clearly more in line with Chu Tianshu's situation.

"In that case, we must speed up the process of this immortal phoenix's rebirth and return."

Chu Tianshu silently calculated in his heart that if he hadn't intervened, it would have taken at least tens or even hundreds of thousands of years for this immortal phoenix corpse to slowly undergo nirvana on its own.

Although he transformed into a chaotic body in this life, his lifespan was only a little over 70,000 years. More than 10,000 years had passed since he lived out his third life, and his remaining lifespan was between 50,000 and 60,000 years.

If we let the immortal phoenix's corpse undergo nirvana on its own, it will be too late.

With this in mind, Chu Tianshu began to study how to accelerate the Nirvana process of the Immortal Phoenix's corpse.

Not long after, Chu Tianshu tried various methods, but neither the Heaven and Earth Formation nor stimulating the essence of the Immortal Phoenix corpse had any particularly good results.

Just then, Chu Tianshu suddenly recalled the legend of the phoenix rising from the ashes in his previous life, and immediately began to experiment.

Zizizi!
The next moment, a ball of golden imperial fire enveloped a corner of the immortal phoenix's corpse.

Chu Tianshu did not act rashly, but instead selected a corner as an experiment.

Even if it doesn't work out, it won't have a significant impact.

Soon, Chu Tianshu discovered that the part of the Immortal Phoenix's corpse that was enveloped in the Emperor's Fire was rapidly shrinking, but the radiance around it was becoming increasingly dazzling.

At the same time, the corpse of the immortal phoenix seemed to become more lively, revealing the true meaning of Nirvana.

"It really works!"

Chu Tianshu's mind was jolted, and in an instant, boundless imperial fire completely enveloped the entire body of the immortal phoenix.

In an instant, the once vast and boundless corpse of the immortal phoenix began to shrink rapidly, and time seemed to flow backward. Before long, a colorful immortal phoenix egg reappeared in front of Chu Tianshu.

Five-colored light flowed over the phoenix egg, divine clouds filled the sky, and auspicious energy rose, making it seem like a rare treasure.

Through the phoenix egg, Chu Tianshu saw a young phoenix undergoing a rebirth.

The true meaning of Nirvana is revealed without a doubt during the process of the celestial phoenix's birth.

But what surprised Chu Tianshu the most was that deep within the bloodline of that immortal phoenix, there seemed to be a special technique being nurtured.

Through meticulous study of this precious technique, Chu Tianshu discovered that it not only possessed restorative effects but also had formidable offensive power.
