The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 80: Deducing the Method of Immortality
After all, there is still an insurmountable gap between the human realm and the immortal realm.

Even though the Immortal Emperor is one of the weaker ones among the mortal immortals, he is still a mortal immortal after all, and a true immortal spirit. He was just born in the wrong era. If he were born in the ancient immortal era, he would most likely become one of the Ten Evils of the Ancient Times.

With Xu He's current emperor-level combat power, if he were attacked by an immortal sword in his later years, he would be in great danger.

But unfortunately, at this moment, Xu He cannot and should not forcibly break into the realm of immortality.

Today, the nine heavens and ten earths are not only broken, but the resources are also becoming increasingly exhausted. This golden age caused by the brief revival of spiritual energy is fundamentally just a last gasp and will only be a flash in the pan.

If you want to avoid following the path of those earthly immortals and become an immortal instantly, you must have the substance for immortality.

However, only mortal immortals and above can produce immortal substances and feed back to the world, but there is no immortal substances in the nine heavens and ten earths. The emperor simply does not have the time to take that step, and if he creates the laws of immortality, he will die of old age or commit suicide.

It's like an endless loop, or a serious bug in the program.

Moreover, becoming an immortal instantly is not a good path at all.

Without the accumulation of years, it is impossible to become a mortal immortal. Even if you become one, you will be dragged down later and stuck in the realm of mortal immortal or immortal king for your whole life. You can't even reach the realm of quasi-immortal emperor, let alone the subsequent sacrifice.

Xu He looked solemn as he looked into the distance at the nine large tripods spread across the nine heavens and ten earths.

These nine large tripods are now continuously absorbing the power of will between heaven and earth, without any waste.

The positions of the nine large tripods together form a large formation.

If the day ever comes when Xu He is unable to cope, this formation prepared for the Emperor will have to be presented to the Immortal Emperor for inspection in advance.

"We can only take one step at a time."

Xu He knew that it was a pipe dream to use the strength of the Emperor of Heaven to fight against the Mortal Immortal, but instead of worrying about these things now, it would be better to deduce the method of immortality and live for a few more lives.

Xu He looked towards the bitter sea. The peach tree was now laden with fruits, and immortal matter was lingering around it.

"To be on the safe side, it's better to eat peaches in the later years of your first life."

With the immortality elixir of the peaches, the peaches are not disposable items. Unlike some immortality elixirs that can only be taken once and then completely dissipate in the world.

Another thing is, if one really wants to live nine lives and become an immortal in the Dharma-Ending Age, if one does not use the elixir of immortality to start the second life, it will not be of much use later.

At this point, the life of most ancient emperors has come to an end.

Being an emperor for two lifetimes is basically the limit for an ordinary emperor.

Generally speaking, those who can live out a third life in this Dharma-Ending Age can be said to have a bright future.

But every subsequent life can be said to be extremely dangerous, and even Ye Fan almost died several times.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the second emperor is mediocre. Every emperor is a unique hero of the time, but he was just born in the wrong era.

And about how to live the third life.

Xu He had a general direction.

Observe the Nirvana of the Green Emperor and the human-shaped elixir of immortality. By observing the process of their decline and prosperity, you can glimpse the supreme truth of life and death and find the opportunity to become an immortal.

As for the fourth generation,
Xu He planned to observe the rebirth of the Phoenix Blood and Red Gold Sword.

The current Phoenix Blood Red Gold Sword can be said to be almost ahead of Xu He. It is no longer limited to the sword body. The deity inside it can revive on its own at any time and transform into a real fairy phoenix, dominating the nine heavens and ten earths.

Xu He felt that the god of the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Sword had indeed developed some wisdom, which was completely different from other supreme imperial weapons.

Perhaps, given time, the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Sword could truly emulate the Green Emperor and embark on a unique path to immortality. While the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Sword still had a long way to go before achieving this, it was at least a hope. By observing its nirvana, perhaps one could glimpse a glimpse into the true meaning of immortality.

As for the fifth generation, there are really few people in history who have reached this point.

It can be said that if you take this step, and there are no major changes in the future, you will basically become an immortal in the mortal world.

At this point, all avenues for longevity have basically been exhausted.

Emperor Huang Tian and Ye Fan both became immortals in nine lifetimes, but the records of several of their nine lifetimes were extremely brief and could not be replicated at all.

Even if it is replicated, it may not be successful.

After all, both of them had to go through life and death and barely succeeded after using all their efforts.

There is nothing special about me compared to the two of them.

Regarding the fifth life, Xu He had only one bold idea.

He had made a bold guess when he was comprehending the two great mother scriptures of the human race, the "Ancient Sutra of the Moon" and the "Ancient Sutra of the Sun".

If anyone with the Taiyin body, or the Taiyang body, can collect these two ancient scriptures, they can use the opposite ancient scripture to evolve a corresponding physique.

The Moon can transform into the Sun, and the Sun can transform into the Moon.

Xu He speculated that the Taiyin Human Emperor had tried to transform Taiyin into Sun. The Sun Human Emperor had also obtained the "Taiyin Ancient Scripture" and cultivated a Taiyin body, living out his third life.

But it should be when the third life reaches Nirvana, or when the third life wants to reach the threshold of the fourth life.

A five-colored sky sword cut through the sky and attacked...

However, because the Lunar Emperor had no reference to draw on before, he relied entirely on himself to figure out the way to transform the Lunar into the Sun and to walk out of the ultimate path. Therefore, compared to the Sun Emperor who could learn from others and live out his third life, the Lunar Emperor would be stronger.

But Xu He does not have the body of the moon, nor the body of the sun.

He cannot follow the path of the moon transforming into the sun, or the sun transforming into the moon.

But when Xu He created the "Heavenly Emperor Sutra", with the fusion of the five great gods in his body, Xu He's understanding of these two ancient scriptures had reached the level of being useful for creation.

He had a bold idea.

As the saying goes, "Who can be called the emperor of the moon and the sun? When yin and yang are in harmony, the world is called the emperor."

At the same time, he practiced the "Taiyin Ancient Scripture" and the "Taiyang Ancient Scripture", with Taiyin in one hand and Taiyang in the other, and at the same time cut off his own innate holy body and Taoist fetus, and transformed into an ordinary body.

With the help of the power of the moon and the sun, all the principles are integrated to truly evolve a perfect chaotic body.

This step is extremely dangerous in the truest sense. It can be said that if you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.

Compared with the paths of the two ancient emperors, Taiyin and Taiyang, this one is more direct and more terrifying.

Xu He was not sure whether he could succeed, but he was certain that this method of evolving a perfect chaotic body would allow him to live another life.

Compared to taking the elixir of immortality, this evolution of the chaotic body is a true rebirth.

Moreover, it requires extremely deep foundation and accumulation to have a glimmer of hope.

Xu He was very sure that if he evolved a chaotic body in the later years of his first life and lived into a second life, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, even if he succeeded, he would not be able to live into a third life even if he took the elixir of immortality.
