The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 162 The Immortal King's Preaching
Chu Tianshu was quite looking forward to the lectures of the two Immortal Kings, as both Wuzhong Immortal King and Liudao Lunhui Immortal King were powerful figures among the Immortal Kings.

One of them walked the Great Path of Time, and the other walked the Great Path of Reincarnation. Both of them achieved extraordinary spiritual attainments in their respective fields.

Although Chu Tianshu did not intend to follow the Great Way of Time and the Way of Reincarnation, it did not mean that he could not integrate the essence of these two great ways into his own system.

Only by extracting the essence of all paths and fusing them into one can one create a flawless Dao fruit.

In the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea, the blue waves ripple, and wisps of white mist drift on the surface of the sea. In the distance, one can vaguely see some purple bamboos that are as big as mountains.

Golden rays of light pierced through the mist and spilled across the azure sea, creating a magnificent and colorful painting. A peaceful atmosphere emanated from the painting, washing away the dust from one's soul.

Beams of divine light weaved through the purple bamboo forest, each with a different form. They included not only humans but also many strange races that Chu Tianshu had never seen before. These were all beings who had come to listen to the two Immortal Kings preach.

Most of these beings are from the human realm, brought here by their ancestors to broaden their horizons.

The Celestial King's teachings were extraordinary; if they could grasp even a fraction of them, they might have limitless possibilities in the future.

Before long, Chu Tianshu arrived at a Taoist temple.

This is a magical land, where myriad Daoist principles are revealed in the mountains and rivers, and various auspicious beasts and divine medicines grow there, their radiance flowing, as if it were a pure land on earth.

If one could cultivate on this land, even a clumsy and stupid pig would still have the possibility of attaining immortality; it is truly extraordinary.

As soon as Chu Tianshu appeared at the edge of the Dao Land, he saw several familiar figures, namely the Three Pure Ones and Wang Huan, among others, with many juniors behind them.

Seeing this, Chu Tianshu simply nodded to the group and then found a place to sit down cross-legged.

Unexpectedly, his appearance suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and the entire Taoist community was immediately filled with exclamations.

"Yes, it's Quasi-Immortal King Taiyi, he's here too!"

"It is said that the Taiyi Quasi-Immortal King was a Quasi-Immortal King who had been in seclusion for a long time. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he encountered an invasion from a foreign land in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea."

"At that time, both the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui were held back by the Immortal King of the foreign realm, and it seemed that we were about to be killed by the foreign realm."

"At this moment, Lord Taiyi appeared out of nowhere, and with his overwhelming strength, he killed many quasi-immortal kings from other realms. He can truly be said to have turned the tide and saved the collapsing edifice!"

When a celestial being who had participated in the great battle in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea saw Chu Tianshu appear, his face immediately lit up with fervor, and he began to introduce him to the younger generation behind him.

For a moment, it caused all the creatures present to gasp in astonishment, their faces filled with fervor.

After all, in the eyes of those geniuses in the human realm, the Immortal Realm is already an extraordinary existence, let alone the Quasi-Immortal King who is comparable to the Quasi-Immortal King.

Even such unparalleled powerhouses fell to the sword of the Taiyi Quasi-Immortal King, which naturally inspired awe in everyone.

"Above are numerous Immortal Kings such as the Immortal King of Boundless End and the Immortal King of Six Paths of Reincarnation; in the middle are many great figures such as the Thunder Emperor, the Quasi-Immortal King of Taiyi, and the Lord of the Three Pure Ones; below are us juniors. What is this mere foreign land worth!"

A promising young talent stood up and surveyed the landscape, exuding an air of dominance.

"well said!"

"Brother Dao's insight is profound!"

In an instant, the entire Daoist land was filled with the excited voices of many young prodigies.

Although the immortal beings and quasi-immortal kings who knew the truth felt heavy-hearted, they did not suppress the passion of these younger generations.

Just as everyone was in high spirits, an invisible pressure came from the heavens above, and strange phenomena appeared in the void.

Golden lotuses appeared out of thin air, divine springs gushed forth from the land, and three thousand rays of light illuminated the heavens, displaying boundless divine power.

The two great immortal kings, Wuzhong Immortal King and Liudao Reincarnation Immortal King, have arrived!
Before anyone could react, two magnificent figures suddenly appeared in the void. Both figures were blurry, and an inexplicable force concealed their faces.

A figure surrounded by the flow of time, unfolding scenes of the long river of time before everyone, displaying the past, present, and future.

Surrounding that figure was an ancient-style celestial bell, which rippled with waves of time.

The other figure was enveloped by the Great Dao of Reincarnation, displaying numerous scenes of birth, aging, sickness, and death, demonstrating to everyone the cycle of heaven, earth, and all things.

Above his head floated a hexagonal beetle disc, but it was incomplete, with obvious signs of breakage.

Legend has it that this was the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King who, in order to study the Great Dao of Reincarnation, voluntarily used his own Dao-proving soldier as a test subject.

Unfortunately, the experiment failed, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc suffered irreversible damage.

"Greetings to the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudao Lunhui!"

At this moment, all beings, whether human or immortal, rose and bowed to the towering figure standing in the void.

"No need for formalities. I have been preaching to you for a hundred years. How much you can understand depends on your own comprehension!"

Upon hearing the voice of the Immortal King Wuzhong, all the beings present bowed to the hazy figure once again.

In an instant, a profound and mysterious celestial sound resounded, leading everyone into an inexplicable realm.

Chu Tianshu also looked solemn and focused intently on listening to the teachings.

After all, the Human Body Secret Realm Technique he cultivates is essentially derived from the ancient immortal techniques, and tracing its origins would be of great benefit to him.

Generally speaking, whether it's the Human Body Secret Realm Method, or methods from ancient times, ancient immortal methods, or methods of this world, they all belong to the immortal path system; it's just that the specific cultivation methods and processes are different.

Overall, all three are like branches extending from the immortal cultivation system.

Of course, these branches vary in strength, with the highest limit naturally belonging to the Human Body Secret Realm Method, followed by the Ancient Immortal Method, and the Method from a distant era, while the worst is none other than the Method of this World.

The Immortal King Wuzhong did not directly expound on the Great Dao of Time, but instead began with the most basic of the ancient immortal methods: the Blood Transfer Realm.

Similar to the Human Body Secret Realm Method, the earliest Immortal Ancient Method also emphasized the circulation of Qi and blood to temper the physical body.

However, this system does not focus on unlocking the potential of the human body and has limited capacity for physical development.

Later, they even went so far as to seek out various perfect immortal seeds to integrate into themselves, and to seek the Dao from heaven and earth.

If the world is incomplete, then every step becomes difficult.

The Human Body Secret Realm Method emphasizes seeking within oneself, exploring one's own potential and seeking the Tao within oneself, encompassing the macrocosm of heaven and earth and the microcosm of the human body.

The two evidences not only gave Chu Tianshu a deeper understanding of the ancient immortal techniques, but also allowed him to learn more about the essence of the human body's secret realm techniques.

About a hundred years later, the Immortal King Wuzhong stopped preaching, but the sound of the Dao still lingered in the void.

These Dao sounds will be deeply engraved in the world like a brand, and will not fade even after an entire era has passed. This is the great power of the Immortal King realm.

Whenever heaven and earth interact, these sounds of the Dao are even manifested by heaven and earth.

The Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King did not rush to begin his sermon. At this moment, the people had not yet absorbed what they had learned, and if he continued to preach, they might not be able to listen.

Several decades passed in the blink of an eye. After most people had awakened from their enlightenment, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King began to preach.

In an instant, the entire Daoist land was once again enveloped by an unparalleled celestial sound. However, this time, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King did not continue to expound on the essence of the ancient immortal methods; instead, he began to speak of his own Great Dao of Reincarnation.

This is an extremely powerful Dao, and legend has it that even if one dies, it will not be completely destroyed, and will eventually return someday in the future.

Throughout history, countless immortal kings have studied the Great Dao of Reincarnation, but none have ever been known to have truly mastered this path.

Chu Tianshu guessed that the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King might have made some progress in his research. After all, the Great Emperor Wushi, the Moral Celestial Venerable, and the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable of later generations were proof of this. They all had good relations with the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and proved the feasibility of the Great Dao of Reincarnation to later generations.

Unfortunately, the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King himself failed to return, becoming lost in the cycle of reincarnation.

Chu Tianshu was also quite interested in this avenue and decided to use it as a secondary cultivation method.

Another century has passed in the blink of an eye.

As the last sound faded, the figures of the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Immortal King Liudaoshenji disappeared into the void.

Meanwhile, the many beings on the Daoist land were still immersed in enlightenment, striving to absorb the Dao insights of the two Immortal Kings.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Tianshu finally emerged from his meditation.

"As expected of the renowned Immortal King Wuzhong and Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, his understanding of the Great Dao is truly extraordinary."

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He had benefited greatly from the cultivation system and the Great Dao of Reincarnation explained by the two Immortal King giants.

In a way, it also helped him accumulate some inner strength and allowed him to see different kinds of scenery.

This is of paramount importance to Chu Tianshu. To reach the pinnacle of immortality, he needs to gather all kinds of methods into himself and integrate them into his own Dao and Dharma in order to take another step forward.

"Not enough, this is not enough. To reach the pinnacle of immortality, I need to witness more and embrace more."

"Perhaps I should visit the ancient kings one by one and ask them for advice."

Chu Tianshu murmured to himself.

As the saying goes, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." There are quite a few immortal kings in the ancient world. They all have their own views on the myriad paths of heaven and earth and their own mastery of the great Dao.

If he could communicate and discuss the Dao with them one by one, it might accelerate Chu Tianshu's perfection of his Dao and Dharma, and allow him to reach the pinnacle of immortality sooner.

However, before visiting the various Immortal Kings, Chu Tianshu wanted to try his luck and see if he could obtain the Primordial Spirit Sword Technique from Wang Huan.

But at this moment, Wang Huan was still immersed in the Great Dao of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King, so Chu Tianshu had no choice but to wait patiently.

In the blink of an eye, almost another hundred years had passed, and Wang Huan finally withdrew from his enlightenment.

Just as Wang Huan was about to leave with his juniors, a voice came from behind him.

"Brother Daoist, please wait!"

"Brother Taiyi, it's been a long time!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Wang Huan immediately stopped, turned around, and cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Tianshu.

I thought Chu Tianshu had already left, but it seems he was waiting for him.

"Brother Dao, please find another place to talk!"

Chu Tianshu did not want the outside world to know about his attempt to exchange for the Yuan Shen Sword Technique, regardless of whether it succeeded or not.

Wang Huan nodded thoughtfully, but did not refuse.

The next moment, the two appeared in a secluded spot in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea.

At the same time, Chu Tianshu waved his hand, and a series of Dao runes appeared, constructing an extremely complex array that isolated the inside from the outside.

"What urgent matter does Brother Taiyi wish to discuss with me?"

Wang Huan looked at Chu Tianshu's actions with a puzzled expression. After all, Chu Tianshu's actions were too cautious, which made him feel a little strange.

“Brother Dao, I have heard that your primordial spirit sword technique is quite effective in cultivating the primordial spirit. I would like to exchange it for this sword technique.”

Chu Tianshu remained calm and composed, making no attempt to conceal his true intentions, and stated all his demands.

For him, it would be excellent to obtain the Primordial Spirit Sword Technique in exchange for it, but if Wang Huan was unwilling, there was no need to worry about it.

"So that's what it is. Since it was you who came to me, I will naturally offer my primordial spirit with both hands."

Without much hesitation, Wang Huan handed a piece of immortal gold book to Chu Tianshu.

If it were an ordinary person, Wang Huan would not have agreed so easily; he would have made him pay a considerable price.

However, Chu Tianshu was different. In the previous great battle, this mysterious quasi-immortal king single-handedly killed many quasi-immortal kings from other realms, which bought him enough time and saved many prodigies.

At the same time, this Taiyi's strength is too extraordinary, and there is a very high probability that he will break through to the Immortal King realm.

Even if he couldn't break through to the Immortal King level in a short time, becoming a Ten Fiends level being wouldn't be difficult, so Wang Huan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Chu Tianshu took the immortal golden book from Wang Huan's hand, his expression shifting.

He hadn't expected the trip to be so easy. He had only asked for a word, and Wang Huan had given him this powerful sword technique without making any demands.

"Then thank you very much, fellow Daoist!"

Chu Tianshu cupped his hands in greeting. Although Wang Huan didn't make any demands, he knew that what was free was often the most expensive.

Wang Huan's actions undoubtedly left Chu Tianshu in a huge debt of gratitude.

However, Chu Tianshu didn't care. He was confident that he could handle everything with ease once he broke through his strength.

He will not refuse unless the request is too unreasonable.

"Brother Taiyi, you are too kind. Your strength is remarkable. If the Primordial Spirit Sword Technique can enhance your strength, it will also be a good thing for our Ancient Realm."

Wang Huan smiled, not caring at all.

Taiyi has considerable potential, and he was willing to befriend him. In addition, the pressure from the other side was increasing, which is why he acted so decisively.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Huan left with his juniors.

"The Primordial Spirit Sword Technique is finally mine!"

Chu Tianshu looked at the immortal golden book in his fingers and murmured to himself.

Chu Tianshu was also very curious about the renowned "Suppressing Chaos Technique" in the ancient world.

After all, this is one of the few methods that can directly attack the enemy's primordial spirit, and it is extremely difficult to resist.
