Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 116 May I ask the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, are there immortals in this world?
Hearing the praise from the Overlord, the God Emperor felt it was an honor.

After all, this is a powerful figure who is said to be walking the path to immortality in the mortal world, a person who wants to ascend to immortality from the mortal world.

"As expected, the Overlord's achievements are unparalleled and unprecedented. He did not cut himself and is still alive."

Xiao Ping'an smiled faintly and said, "Actually, this path to immortality in the mortal world isn't just for me; you can walk it too."

"For example, you can use the Holy Spirit Transformation Method, and you can also live out your third life through it."

Xiao Ping'an gifted the Divine Silkworm an elixir of immortality, and then explained in detail the method of Holy Spirit Transformation and the path to becoming an immortal in the mortal world.

After hearing this, the Divine Emperor was filled with longing.

"The Overlord truly possesses great merit and wisdom. I feel as if I have been enlightened, as if I have heard a heavenly voice."

"But this path to immortality in the mortal world has ultimately been traversed by no one."

"May I ask the Supreme Lord Batian, does true immortality truly exist in this world?"

Seeing the expectant look on the God Emperor's face, Xiao Ping'an smiled enigmatically.

The Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, the Kunlun Immortal Bell, the Desolate Tower, the Bronze Immortal Palace, and the Immortal Sword all clearly tell everyone that there are not only True Immortals in the world, but also stronger beings at a higher level than True Immortals.

However, the people of this world are always somewhat insecure, and dare not believe that there is a wider world beyond this one.

They couldn't even believe that true immortals existed in the world.

Xiao Ping'an had once personally killed a severely injured True Immortal, and he knew the secrets of True Immortals better than anyone else.

The Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor before us has only recently attained enlightenment and still has a long period of ascent before reaching his peak. However, it is clear that he is no longer only pursuing enlightenment and becoming an emperor; he also wants to reach a higher realm.

Moreover, the ancient emperor of the Divine Silkworm before us has an astonishingly long lifespan due to his racial talent.

This meant he would have more time to study the methods of immortality and embark on the path to immortality.

The unique metamorphosis method of the divine silkworm gave him an even greater advantage.

Xiao Ping'an changed the fate of the Emperor, the fate of the Undying Emperor, the fate of the Chaos Body King Bo, and the fate of the Taiyin Human Emperor. Now that the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor before him possesses the potential to ascend to immortality in the mortal world, Xiao Ping'an is naturally willing to lend him a hand.

It's really not surprising that he's now taking the initiative to come to me for advice.

With a determined look in his eyes, he said to the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm, "There truly are immortals in this world!"

"I once killed a dying True Immortal, and I once killed a True Immortal whose corpse possessed spiritual power."

"They have also excavated the remains of true immortals deep in the underworld."

Xiao Ping'an's answer made the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm feel as if a storm was raging in his mind, and thunder was ringing out.

His face showed utter surprise.

As a newly enlightened expert, although he had heard of the legends of true immortals, his understanding of this matter was still vague.

At the very least, he had never seen a true immortal, nor had he seen the remains of a true immortal.

"Even True Immortals can die?"

"Legend has it that true immortals possess almost limitless life, yet they still perish?"

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was extremely excited when he heard the news.

Looking at the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, Xiao Ping'an recalled the time he went to see a doctor with his mother. His mother said that she had not eaten meat since she was five years old. The doctor and nurses, a total of seven or eight people, all said in unison, "And before you were five years old? How much meat did you eat?"

Seeing that my mother hesitated, I gently said, "She didn't remember anything before she was five years old."

Then all the patients and their families in the ward, more than ten people, burst into laughter.

The doctors and nurses looked embarrassed, realizing they had asked a very stupid question.

At this moment, the excited appearance of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor reminded Xiao Ping'an of the doctors and nurses who treated his mother.

The fall of a true immortal should be a very normal occurrence. After all, one can be sitting at home when disaster strikes from the sky. It's not like you can simply stay in a forbidden zone and cultivate diligently at home and everything will be fine.

Over time, all sorts of unexpected events will inevitably occur, and it's not surprising that they perish.

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was visibly agitated and incredulous at the news of the True Immortal's fall. He was clearly stunned by the existence of immortals in the world, his mind temporarily blank, unable to process what had happened.

Xiao Ping'an chuckled and said, "In this world, the Heavenly Dao operates, and life and death occur. Even True Immortals, Immortal Kings, or even higher-level cultivators may perish unexpectedly. Isn't that perfectly normal?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ping'an's words, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm quickly calmed down, a fleeting look of embarrassment crossing his face before he nodded.

"The Overlord is right. I was too excited just now and didn't think of this."

“We are already the most advanced cultivators in this world, and we are gods in the eyes of mortals. But even if we can live for ten thousand, twenty thousand or even tens of thousands of years, we will still perish.”

"Those so-called true immortals are just cultivators who are more powerful than us. It is not surprising that they have perished or died unexpectedly."

"The Desolate Tower, the Kunlun Immortal Bell, the Bronze Immortal Palace, the Crimson Blood Immortal Sword, and your White Bone Blade—the people who forged these immortal artifacts must all be legendary immortals..."

"But... it seems one can forge immortal artifacts even without becoming an immortal?" The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm thought of something.

Xiao Ping'an understood instantly.

He did not become an immortal, but he did create the Heavenly Bell, a divine artifact.

The Emperor did not become an immortal, but he did forge the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.

The Underworld Lord did not become an immortal, but he did create the Heaven-Reaching Underworld Treasure.

The Chaos Celestial Venerable did not become an immortal, but he did create the Chaos Cauldron.

The Immortal Emperor did not become an immortal; his training only produced the Nine-Colored Heavenly Blade.

Anyone would find it very strange.

It seems that only those who can embark on the path of immortality in the mortal world can elevate and transform ultimate weapons into legendary immortal artifacts.

Although the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm knew nothing about the Chaos Celestial Venerable and the Undying Celestial Emperor, nor about the Underworld Venerable, nor about the legendary Emperor Venerable and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, the famous Overlord Celestial Venerable and his Overlord Bell were still active in this world.

Especially the Overlord Bell he had just seen.

He didn't know much about the more distant eras and was eager to get more secrets from the Overlord.

“That’s right, it’s possible to forge immortal artifacts even without becoming an immortal,” Xiao Ping’an said with certainty.

"It is truly astonishing that the Emperor forged the Immortal Cauldron, a celestial artifact, in his second life."

"But there's a reason why the Emperor was able to forge a celestial artifact so early."

"His method of refining the immortal cauldron was very special, drawing on the power of Kunlun Immortal Mountain and the Dao runes of the Kunlun Immortal Bell, making it almost impossible to replicate."

"The owners of the Desolate Tower, the Bronze Immortal Palace, and the Kunlun Immortal Bell are undoubtedly exceptionally powerful. They may not just be True Immortals, but possibly legendary Immortal Kings."

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm was extremely shocked. He never expected that the Overlord actually believed that there were Immortal Kings in the world, beings even more powerful than True Immortals.

However, after thinking about it, he didn't find it strange at all. The Overlord had lived for a long time and had even killed a severely injured True Immortal. It was not surprising that he could obtain the secrets of the Immortal Realm when searching souls.

Knowing that there are even higher-level powerhouses above True Immortals, it's not surprising.

"Did you know that, besides these incredible immortal artifacts, the secrets about immortals are also contained in the elixir of immortality?"

"Those immortal herbs, if you observe them carefully, you can sense that they are the reincarnations of powerful immortals who failed in their rebirth after their fall."

“They might not just be true immortals, but legendary fallen immortal kings!” Xiao Ping’an said softly.

"what?"

"How can it be!"

Xiao Ping'an's words were like a thunderclap in the ears of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor.

He truly hadn't expected that the elixir of immortality in this world would have such a remarkable origin.

I originally thought that the legends of immortals were ethereal and unreal, just a fictional story formed by people's desire for immortality.

But the tyrant before him told him unequivocally that immortals existed in the world.

Not only had he slain a True Immortal, but he had also excavated the corpse of a True Immortal. Even the elixir of immortality could reveal secrets about the Immortal King. All of this overturned the understanding that the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm had held for so many years.

Before him, there had never been a Daoist who had attained enlightenment. It was only after the appearance of the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm that the Divine Silkworm Ridge officially rose to become a powerful force that spanned the starry sky.

The Divine Silkworm Ridge, which floated on the ocean of stars, had been transformed into the Divine Silkworm Ancient Star by the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor after he created a pure land in the chaos.

Furthermore, after the place of transformation was opened up and a new world was created, it was refined into the Divine Silkworm Ridge Forbidden Zone and moved to the Big Dipper Star.

With the ancient emperor of the Divine Silkworm personally overseeing it, Divine Silkworm Ridge has become one of the forbidden zones of the Big Dipper.

Although it cannot compare to the forbidden zones like the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, the Divine Ruins, or the Burial Island, which are powerful and teem with Dark Sovereigns, even the current Great Emperor, and even Dark Sovereigns, would not dare to provoke the Divine Silkworm Ridge.

However, Shencan Ridge only truly rose to prominence after the ancient emperor of Shencan attained enlightenment, and its foundation was still too weak. There are almost no historical legends or records about the ancient and mythological eras.

They knew very little about this so-called ancient era, the age when emperors reigned supreme.

Therefore, every piece of information that the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor received from Xiao Ping'an made him feel that his worldview had been completely refreshed.

"Regarding how to explore the secret of immortality through the elixir of immortality, I believe you will be able to perceive the truth after careful observation."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have already secretly obtained an immortal herb," ​​Xiao Ping'an said to the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, thinking of the Nine Mysterious Immortal Herbs of later generations.

Hearing Xiao Ping'an's words, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm looked somewhat embarrassed.

He thought he had kept this secret well and that no one in the world knew about it. When Xiao Ping'an gave him the elixir of immortality, he shamelessly accepted it, acting like a nouveau riche who had never seen the elixir of immortality before.

Unexpectedly, the Overlord in front of him saw through his secret at a glance.

However, the elixir of immortality has been well preserved, and no one in the world knows about it. How the Overlord Venerable knew this secret is something that even the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing the awkward look on the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor's face, Xiao Ping'an immediately guessed that he had obtained the legendary Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality.

As for how he knew, he naturally found out after watching the trilogy.

The book clearly states that the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir was found by the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm, seemingly by accident in the chaos.

This Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor was also a person with great fortune.

Xiao Ping'an didn't know if he actually possessed the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir, but unexpectedly, his attempt to bluff backfired and actually resulted in a bluff.

"The divine medicine you obtained contains nine kinds of fruits, each with different effects."

"I think we should call it the Nine-Miracle Elixir of Immortality."

Xiao Pingan said with a smile.

"I never imagined that the Supreme Lord Batian's cultivation was so profound that he knew I had obtained an immortal herb, and even described its characteristics so clearly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. I am truly ashamed."

"Once it bears fruit, I will definitely give the Overlord a fragment of the Great Dao to comprehend within it."

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm gave an awkward smile and quickly let the matter drop.

After all, once you reach the level of the Overlord, the need for the elixir of immortality is no longer so great.

Or rather, the elixir of immortality is almost no longer needed.

The elixir of immortality had almost no effect on him anymore.

Moreover, the Overlord also possesses the elixir of immortality.

The Overlord left those immortal elixirs to his descendants as a foundation for his family.

For example, the legendary ginseng fruit, the white tiger elixir, the humanoid immortal elixir, the divine phoenix immortal elixir, and the black tortoise immortal elixir.

Although the news that the Chaos Green Lotus, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and the Bodhi Tree were also under Xiao Ping'an's control had not spread, the five immortal divine medicines alone had already made countless people drool.

If they hadn't known that the Overlord was still alive, those ancient emperors who later attained enlightenment would probably have already come to snatch him away.

Or you could borrow it to study it, but as for when you'll return it, or even if you'll return it at all, that's another matter.

The Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm treasured the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir he obtained, keeping it a secret in hopes of leaving a treasure for his family.

Moreover, he also gained a lot of insights from the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir.

In particular, when Xiao Ping'an explained to him the path to immortality in the mortal world and the method of deducing the path of nine lifetimes of transformation, it was as if a new way of thinking had been opened up for him.

Whether it was the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm or the Nine Wonders of Immortality Elixir, which was like nine reincarnations, they both gave him great inspiration.

He felt as if he had found his own path to immortality in the mortal world.

Since the Overlord is so certain that the Elixir of Immortality was transformed from a Celestial King who failed to undergo Nirvana after his fall, it must contain an astonishing secret.

If one can thoroughly comprehend it, there is bound to be hope for immortality, and becoming a member of the immortal path is not impossible.

Thinking of this, the fog in his heart was swept away, as if he had found the way forward and was no longer confused.

Although it's unknown whether this Path of Immortality in the Mortal World is real or not, the fact that the Overlord has lived for so long without severing his own life is enough to show that even if this path cannot be truly traversed, it is definitely a viable one, at least far superior to those supreme beings in forbidden zones.

"I wonder if the Overlord has already become a True Immortal?"

Whether based on historical legends or the actual feeling before his eyes, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm felt that the strength of the Overlord Venerable before him was unfathomable.

Even though he had defied the heavens to attain enlightenment, walked the myriad paths of heaven and earth, and was revered as the God Emperor, possessing the strength of a Heavenly Emperor, he could still feel the unfathomable power of the Overlord when facing him.

Furthermore, Ba Tianzun's understanding of the immortal path and his deductions about the Immortal Silk Road in the mortal world gave him many ideas.

He even believed that Ba Tianzun had searched the souls of true immortals, so he knew how people in the immortal realm became immortals. By drawing inferences from this, and with his own deductions and understanding, it might not be impossible for him to become a true immortal in this world.

Seeing the excited expression on the face of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor, Xiao Ping'an solemnly said, "I have not yet become an immortal."

"I have now lived my fifth life. According to the method of nine lifetimes of mortal transformation, I still have to pass several more trials before I can truly become an immortal."

"The true immortal techniques in the Immortal Realm require longevity substances and immortal spiritual energy, which are simply impossible to achieve in our world."

"It can be said that the methods of true immortality have been lost in this world, and it is no longer possible to cultivate them," Xiao Ping'an said.

Hearing Xiao Ping'an's words, the Ancient Emperor of the Divine Silkworm felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

"Why?" It was as if he were talking to himself, as if he were asking a question.

If immortals truly exist in this world, then why is it impossible to become an immortal in this world? He couldn't find the answer.

Xiao Ping'an said, "Because the world has changed. This world is no longer the world it used to be, and there is no longer the cultivation environment of the Immortal Realm."

"It could even be said that the Immortal Realm is now shattered and is no longer the Immortal Realm it once was."

"All immortal energy in this world will be suppressed and rejected by this world."

"We are able to continue our cultivation in this world today thanks to those predecessors and sages who, after the great changes in the world, actually opened up the five secret realm cultivation methods."

"The mystery and wonder within it are worth a lifetime of study."

"Unfortunately, these five secret realm cultivation methods can only stop people at the Emperor Path realm. If they want to go any further, they cannot go any further."

"I once discussed the Dao with the Underworld Lord, the Emperor Lord, and the Moral Heavenly Lord, among others. According to our deductions, if one can undergo nine lifetimes of transformation after entering the Extreme Dao Realm, perhaps one can forge a path to survival in this world, ascend to immortality in the mortal realm, and reconnect with the severed paths of the Five Great Secret Realms."

"Besides, in this world without the substance for immortality, it is no longer possible to become a true immortal."

That's the truth, it's incredibly cruel. If you can keep going, you'll survive; if you can't, you'll perish.

They might even perish in the final few steps.

There have been far too many extraordinary talents born in this world, and those who have attained enlightenment are the best of the best. However, the path forward for this world has been severed, and it is truly beyond human capacity to make up for.

If you want to become an immortal, you have to find another way.

To cut himself in two, transforming into a Dark Sovereign, lurking in the forbidden zone, eking out a long life, waiting for the opening of the path to immortality for the Big Dipper and the Flying Immortal Star—this is far too passive.

Xiao Ping'an, along with the Underworld Lord, the Moral Heavenly Lord, and the Emperor Lord, held this behavior of waiting for the path to immortality to open in utter contempt.

Only those who embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world are truly positive, ambitious, and courageous individuals.

The Dark Sovereign, though once awe-inspiring throughout the heavens and earth and enjoying over 20,000 years of prosperity, was ultimately blinded by the mists of darkness, unable to see the path ahead.
