The Heavenly Emperor of Chu

Chapter 97 Insights on the Immortal Path in the Mortal World and a New Method of Transformation (7K10K views, please support!)

The Chu family possesses the bloodline of the Overlord Clan, and their ancestor was an extremely powerful Taiyi Heavenly Emperor. The Emperor Scripture and methods he left behind must be extraordinary.

If the Chu family is willing to help, it will greatly alleviate my predicament.

Of course, Fuxi did not place all his hopes on the Chu family.

In the human realm, there is also a fully accomplished immortal golden body and a fully accomplished hegemonic body, as well as other geniuses, all of whom are sought after by Fuxi.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my Chu family will not stand idly by. When the time comes, we will naturally lend you a helping hand."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liufeng's expression immediately turned serious. Judging from what Emperor Fuxi meant, there would likely be many supreme beings from forbidden zones emerging to cause trouble.

The chaos instigated by the Dark Supreme is no small matter, often resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of lives. Even the Heavenly Venerable lineage and ancient royal families, who possess supreme imperial weapons, may not be able to escape unscathed in the Dark Turmoil.

Throughout history, many celestial lineages and ancient royal families have been submerged in the long river of time due to darkness and turmoil.

As one of the many beings in the universe, the Chu family was doomed to perish when the nest was overturned, especially since the Heavenly Emperor had offended many forbidden zones of life.

If a dark upheaval were to occur, the Chu family would inevitably be caught in the crossfire.

Thinking of this, Chu Liufeng's gaze became even more determined.

"Your Majesty, our Chu family also has a branch on the ancient star of the Big Dipper. I will send a message to them and have them obey your orders."

"At the same time, my Chu family will continue to send a group of powerful individuals to the ancient star of Beidou."

Back when the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor was in his later years, many powerful members of the Chu family also joined the Heavenly Army to suppress and kill creatures in the forbidden zones.

After that, he remained on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, keeping watch over the movements of various forbidden zones of life, and never returned to the Chu family.

"Have a heart."

Fuxi was quite satisfied upon hearing this. The Chu family had an impressive lineage. After tens of thousands of years of development, the clan had many experts, including numerous ancient sages and even several quasi-emperors, who could provide considerable strength.

But what Fuxi cared about most was Chu Liufeng. As the only one in the Chu family with a perfected Overlord Body, and with the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor Scripture he cultivated, it shouldn't be difficult for him to hold back a Supreme Being of a Forbidden Zone during the Dark Turmoil.

Although Fuxi had never seen the contents of the Taiyi Heavenly Emperor Scripture, judging from the unintentional aura emanating from Chu Liufeng, he was no less powerful than a supreme being.

Having achieved his goal, Fuxi was unwilling to linger any longer. He still needed to recruit other powerful individuals to deal with the future turmoil caused by darkness.

In his calculations, at least four to six supreme beings from forbidden zones would emerge 30,000 years from now.

At that time, he was in his later years, and his blood and energy were declining, so he could not exert much strength. At most, he could only hold off two or three supreme beings in the forbidden zone.

Nuwa, the younger sister, should be able to hold off one of them, and this grand-nephew of the Heavenly Emperor should also be able to hold off another.

If the remaining two fully-developed Undying Golden Bodies and Overlord Bodies were willing to make a move, they should be able to hold off one of them.

But this is only a token effort; to truly quell the unrest, it is necessary to continue to win over other powerful figures.

With this in mind, Fuxi did not linger any longer. The golden road reappeared, and he stepped into the starry sky.

On the other side, Chu Liufeng dared not be careless and immediately rushed to a certain hall deep within the Chu family compound.

"Ancestor, Liufeng requests an audience!"

Chu Liufeng stood respectfully outside the main hall.

"come in!"

As a majestic imperial voice rang out, the vermilion gate suddenly opened.

Chu Liufeng looked up and saw a majestic emperor sitting cross-legged deep in the hall. Just by sitting there, Chu Liufeng could not muster the slightest thought of resistance.

"Ancestor, Emperor Fuxi just said that a dark upheaval will occur again in 30,000 years."

"Judging from what he said, it seems that this turmoil will lead to the emergence of many supreme beings from forbidden zones."

Chu Liufeng dared not be negligent and explained in detail the purpose of Fuxi's visit.

"Dark turmoil?"

Chu Tianshu murmured to himself. At this moment, there were only 30,000 years left until the agreement he made with the various forbidden zones of life. It was indeed time for the supreme beings of those forbidden zones to be born.

To be precise, when Fuxi attained enlightenment, many supreme beings from forbidden zones were eager to make their move, and some even took action themselves.

However, Chu Tianshu manipulated the lightning tribulation mark to frighten them back, thus averting a major disaster and allowing Fuxi to successfully attain enlightenment.

Given the Supreme Ruler's style, he certainly wouldn't start a rebellion during Fuxi's prime. He would either wait until the Second Emperor of Fuxi was in his later years, or during the period after Fuxi's complete death and before a new emperor was born.

"Ancestor, will you intervene then?"

Chu Liufeng looked expectantly at the majestic imperial figure deep within the main hall.

If his ancestor were willing to personally intervene, this turmoil could be easily quelled.

After all, in his first life, this Taiyi Emperor was able to slay many powerful enemies. Now that he has been reborn, his strength has increased even further, and he will only become stronger.

"Each generation should do its own thing. Now it is Fuxi's turn to govern the world, so it is Fuxi's turn to solve the problem."

Chu Tianshu shook his head, indicating that he did not intend to get involved in the matter.

In the eyes of the world, he has already "passed away" on the path to immortality and is no longer able to make a move.

Moreover, as he himself said, each generation has its own responsibilities. While he may not have made any great achievements during his reign, he did nip many sources of turmoil in the bud for his time and for future emperors.

He fulfilled the responsibilities of a Heavenly Emperor and did not owe anything to any living beings; on the contrary, it was the living beings who owed him something.

"This"

Chu Liufeng's expression changed. If the Supreme Heavenly Emperor did not intervene, Fuxi might not be able to quell the unrest.

"Go down!"

A faint voice came, and before Chu Liufeng could react, an invisible force pushed him out of the main hall, and then the vermilion gate slammed shut.

Chu Liufeng sighed and then quietly disappeared.

"No rainbow without rain!"

Chu Tianshu shook his head. It wasn't that he was cold-hearted; if Fuxi couldn't personally quell this turmoil and experience the baptism of blood and fire...

Even if one embarks on the path to immortality in the mortal world, one may not be able to go very far.

Throughout Fuxi's life, apart from facing a life-or-death crisis when he was proving the Dao, he resolved all other crises by using divine means, which gradually led to a kind of dependence on him.

However, on the path to immortality in the mortal world, your Heavenly Path cannot deduce all the errors and omissions.

Being overly confident could lead to some drastic changes, causing all efforts to be in vain.

How can one gain insight and transcend the mortal world to reach the immortal path without experiencing it firsthand?

In his first life, Chu Tianshu had never had this realization.

But it was only after he truly experienced death and transformation, and truly walked the path to immortality in the mortal world, that he experienced moments of enlightenment.

Immortal of the Mortal World! Immortal of the Mortal World!
It's not just about becoming an immortal in the mortal world; it's about undergoing countless transformations within the mortal realm to hone a flawless Dao heart before overcoming numerous obstacles and transforming from a human into an immortal.

All of this requires individuals to experience, face, and resolve it themselves. Outsiders can't offer much help.

Chu Tianshu could only tell Fuxi that the Ultimate Dao Realm was not the end; the rest was up to him to walk.

The same was true for Emperor Ye Tian in later generations; after becoming emperor, he also fell into confusion several times.

However, the Ruthless Emperor did not interfere much, only offering a few pointers at crucial moments. Ye Fan had to navigate the rest of the path on his own.

Chu Tianshu shook his head, no longer paying attention to the matter, and continued his seclusion. The misty Daoist aura once again sealed off the entire hall, and the sound of the Great Dao resounded within.

Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, more than 13,000 years have passed since Chu Tianshu went into seclusion.

After more than ten thousand years of continuous arduous cultivation and comprehension, Chu Tianshu's Dao Fruit has subtly advanced another step, and he has comprehended many secrets of the Divine Silkworm Clan. The talent of this clan is indeed too heaven-defying, no less than that of the legendary True Dragon and Immortal Phoenix.

With each transformation, the lifespan and potential of the Divine Silkworm Clan undergo a qualitative improvement.

The Divine Silkworm undergoes nine transformations, enabling it to attain the Dao and become an emperor, making it no weakling among the supreme beings of all ages.

However, it is not simple for a God Emperor to undergo a tenth transformation. His lifespan and strength begin to increase dramatically, and he has made considerable progress even in the Heavenly Emperor's domain.

Especially now that the Divine Emperor has entered a transformation, according to Chu Tianshu's calculations, once the Divine Emperor completes the eleventh transformation of the Divine Silkworm, he will probably directly approach the level of a Mortal Immortal, or even reach the level of a Mortal Immortal.

"As expected of the God Emperor who is known as invincible with nine transformations and peerless throughout history with ten transformations, he is truly extraordinary!"

"Perhaps it really is possible to successfully transform!"

Although the Divine Silkworm Clan possesses extraordinary talent, only the Divine Emperor has reached this level.

The rest of the Divine Silkworm Clan members, let alone those who have undergone nine or ten transformations, are extremely rare, and even those who have reached the eighth transformation are few and far between.

It's not enough to simply lie in the nine-layered coffin of the gods; the God Emperor himself must face an endless death zone and a situation of certain death alone to seek a glimmer of hope and complete his final transformation.

If you're not careful, you could die a horrible death.

This cruel path is no less arduous than the path to immortality in the mortal world, and it takes a long time to succeed.

"Yet another peerless emperor walking the path to immortality in the mortal world!"

Chu Tianshu sighed. Although the path to becoming a Divine Emperor takes a long time, once it is successful, even if one does not reach the level of a Mortal Immortal, one will be close.

At that time, with just a little arduous cultivation, one can completely step into the realm of immortals in the mortal world.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious. Not only is it time-consuming, but it also requires constantly facing death and a flawless Dao heart to endure this long period of time.

More than a thousand years later, Chu Tianshu gradually comprehended a method of transformation through meticulous study of the Divine Emperor's physical body, which was called "Silkworm Metamorphosis".

In one's later years, this method can be used to transform oneself into a silkworm egg, mimicking the metamorphosis process of the divine silkworm clan.

It sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to do.

The process of silkworm molting involves a deadly life-or-death crisis. The molting individual must completely melt their flesh and blood into the essence of life, transforming it into a divine egg.

During this process, the cultivator's life will end completely, and they will be plunged into a deadly situation.

Only when life reappears and is conceived can the transformed beings awaken from the dead and live a second life.

However, Chu Tianshu was not afraid, since he had actually died once when his first life ended, which would greatly increase his chances of success.

"This method of transformation is similar to the principle of Yin turning into Yang, both of which involve putting oneself in a deadly situation and then regenerating life."

"I just don't know if these two transformation methods will conflict with each other."

The method of transformation on the Immortal Path in the Mortal World can only be used once. This is because the previous transformation method has already been used, and using it again will greatly reduce its effectiveness and make it impossible to succeed.

The method of silkworm molting is somewhat similar to the principle of Yin giving rise to Yang. The former uses the essence of one's flesh and blood to transform into a divine egg to regenerate life and thus live out a second life.

The latter is to be reborn from the brink of death, utilizing the boundless death energy to grasp the key to the birth of yang from yin, reviving from the dead end and living a second life.

"The concepts are similar, but the processes are completely different, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Chu Tianshu mentally reconstructed the transformation process and found no conflict.

"Let's polish it a bit more. After all, it's just been created and needs some refinement."

Although the silkworm molting technique has been pioneered, it is not yet perfect, and there are still many areas that need to be adjusted according to Chu Tianshu's situation.

Just then, the Heavenly Heart Mark in the Nine Heavens suddenly shook violently, and the Heavenly Secret Dao that suppressed all living beings collapsed as a result.

Heaven and earth seemed to mourn the passing of a great being.

"Is the first incarnation of Fuxi coming to an end?"

It was only then that Chu Tianshu realized that more than 14,000 years had passed since Fuxi last left.

"A lifespan of 21,000 years, his near-immortal bloodline is indeed extraordinary."

If it is a typical Holy Body or Hegemon Body that attains enlightenment, their lifespan in one lifetime is also around this number.

Fuxi possessed the legendary blood of an immortal, which allowed him to have a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators, almost equivalent to two lifetimes for others, even after countless years.

However, Chu Tianshu was not worried. With Fuxi's profound understanding of the Dao of Heaven, finding an immortal herb would be very easy.

Putting aside other things, there is still a ginseng fruit in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain of the ancient star. Back then, the ginseng fruit did not choose to follow Chu Tianshu, and he was too lazy to care about it.

He didn't even care about a mere immortal herb.

With Fuxi's abilities, he could enter Kunlun Immortal Mountain even without the Immortal Array Diagram.

Sure enough, not long after, a mighty Heavenly Mystery Dao soared into the sky, suppressing all other Daos once again, and the previously precarious Heavenly Heart Mark instantly stabilized.

The heavens and earth resounded in unison, celebrating this moment.

Soon, the news that Emperor Fuxi had lived a second life spread throughout the entire human universe.

"Emperor Fuxi did not die; he defied the heavens and lived a second life!"

"Emperor Fuxi's lifespan exceeded 20,000 years in his lifetime, which was much longer than that of Emperor Taiyi."

"Furthermore, since he has lived another lifetime, he will probably continue to suppress the world for another 20,000 years."

Some are happy while others are sad. For ordinary beings, the presence of a great emperor is naturally great news.

However, for those geniuses who are just one step away from becoming emperors or aspire to the throne, Fuxi's existence has greatly hindered their progress.

Of course, many more cultivators set up divine lights and went to worship the ancient Big Dipper star.

The ancestral home of the Chu family.

Inside a secluded hall.

Chu Tianshu withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to the matter, and continued to focus his energy on perfecting the silkworm molting method. At the same time, he made continuous corrections based on his own situation, striving to achieve perfection.
