Covering the sky: Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body

Chapter 164 Teaching the Theory of Mortal Immortals

The Overlord has already become a Mortal Immortal, and the Chaos Lord and the Undying Emperor are close behind, having already lived through their seventh incarnation. They are not far from becoming Mortal Immortals themselves.

These Dark Sovereigns were filled with turbulent emotions. If the Chaos Celestial Venerable and the Undying Emperor also became Immortals of the Mortal World, it would mean that there would be three Immortals of the Mortal World in this world.

Then they can open the passage to the Immortal Realm, and becoming an Immortal King might not be so difficult for them.

Many even vaguely felt that the legendary Immortal Emperor realm might not be impossible, and these Dark Sovereigns also indulged in their fantasies.

Many of the Dark Sovereigns were filled with envy when they thought of the bright futures of the Overlord, the Undying Emperor, and the Chaos Sovereign.

At this moment, these stubborn Dark Sovereigns finally began to face the gap between themselves and the likes of the Overlord.

They were both enlightened beings back then, but now the gap between them has widened dramatically, and they are now worlds apart, one a mortal and the other a celestial being.

Regardless of what these Dark Sovereigns were thinking, when faced with the Overlord, the Undying Emperor, and the Chaos Sovereign, all that remained in their eyes was awe and worship.

Numerous Dark Lords offered their congratulations to the three.

Looking at these Dark Sovereigns who hadn't used the Holy Spirit Transformation Technique for so many years, Ba Tianzun couldn't help but sigh.

Those who were the first to try something new back then will soon be reborn as holy spirits, living out a new and powerful third life, while these dark sovereigns will fall behind on this path to immortality in the mortal world.

With himself suppressing this world, none of the surviving Dark Sovereigns have ever launched a Dark Rebellion. Xiao Ping'an decided to give them a chance, a chance to survive.

He smiled faintly and said, "I have indeed successfully undergone Nirvana time and time again. After living for nine lifetimes, I have indeed become a mortal immortal."

"The power of time seems to have stopped on me, and can no longer leave any trace on me."

"I do have a lot of experience in how to become an immortal in the mortal world. If you fellow Daoists are willing, you can do as I say. Although I cannot guarantee 100% success, if you feel that you really can't persevere, you can open the passage to the strange world and go there to transform and sublimate."

"The small amount of longevity substance there will allow you fellow cultivators to have more than ten times the lifespan over there."

Upon hearing that the Overlord was willing to share his cultivation gains, these Dark Sovereigns were both surprised and delighted.

After all, everyone's path to immortality is related to their own path to immortality, and they don't usually tell others about it.

They had all received some of Xiao Ping'an's theories on immortality in the mortal world and felt that Xiao Ping'an was a very generous person, which is why they came to ask him for advice.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to ask for advice.

Now that Xiao Ping'an has truly become a celestial being in the mortal world, his words carry a completely different weight.

In the eyes of these Dark Sovereigns, things have become quite different. Back then, they thought Xiao Ping'an was too wicked, scheming against those Dark Sovereigns and hoping that they would quietly die when the Holy Spirit's transformation failed.

Looking back now, it really was a case of judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person.

Back then, the Overlord generously imparted the methods of the Mortal Immortals, including the beginner-level Holy Spirit Transformation Method. Many people regretted not having learned it properly.

"Thank you for your generosity, Overlord!"

Regardless of what the numerous Dark Sovereigns thought, they all appeared grateful and worshipful at this moment.

People's hearts are unfathomable, so Xiao Ping'an didn't delve into what these people were thinking. Since they were willing to walk the path of immortality in the mortal world, Xiao Ping'an would teach them a thing or two.

Anyway, if even one-tenth of these people manage to walk the path to immortality in the mortal world, that would be considered good. On this path, it is destined that most people will fail.

However, in the future, whether they enter a strange world, reincarnate and start cultivating again, or continue to cultivate in other ways, they will be more powerful than ordinary true immortals, because they have walked the path of immortality in the mortal world. Even if they failed, once they become true immortals, they will inevitably be much stronger than those ordinary true immortals.

After a long period of time, their chances of becoming a Celestial King are much higher than those of an ordinary True Immortal.

Xiao Ping'an didn't expect these people to become quasi-immortal emperors or even immortal emperors; he only hoped that they could become qualified cannon fodder.

Yes, there are strange races from beyond the world that have been eyeing us covetously. Fighting against these dark and eerie invasions will inevitably involve countless battles.

Immortal King-level combat power is the most basic level for fighting against darkness and the bizarre.

Faced with these numerous Dark Sovereigns, Xiao Ping'an did not deliberately hide his insights. Instead, he started with the most basic introductory method, the Holy Spirit Transformation Method, and explained the way of Holy Spirit Transformation in detail.

This method takes a long time, but it can mend the cracks in Sendai, which is undoubtedly what these Dark Sovereigns need most.

This simplest form of transformation guidance can undoubtedly help these Dark Sovereigns get started quickly.

How do we become the Holy Spirit? How do we transcend from the Holy Spirit?

Xiao Ping'an's explanation was both profound and easy to understand, summarizing a Nirvana method suitable for all races of beings to begin with.

Xiao Ping'an sat cross-legged in the void, sacred and solemn, with the sound of the Great Dao resounding and the chanting of scriptures echoing.

Countless strange phenomena appeared around them, countless feathers of light danced in the air, divine springs gushed forth from the earth, and golden lotuses of the Great Dao appeared in the void.

Finally, Xiao Ping'an stated that he would imprint the Holy Spirit Transformation Method into the deepest part of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, so that not only all Dark Sovereigns could freely comprehend it, but also future Dao Prodigies and those peerless geniuses could comprehend it.

This is the introductory method for immortals in the mortal world, suitable for all living beings.

Even if one is not a Daoist, one can use this method to strengthen one's foundation in the Great Dao and become an Emperor in the future.

Many of the Dark Sovereigns were extremely grateful for Xiao Ping'an's guidance, and they were also determined to follow the path of Holy Spirit transformation.

As for the deeper theory of the transformation of immortals in the mortal world, Xiao Ping'an did not explain the specific methods, but rather the thought process behind this transformation.

Feeding them bite by bite will only make them grow fat but also make them weak. Only what they truly understand on their own will allow them to go further on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

On the Enlightenment Cliff of the Immortal Mountain, the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao resounded, and one terrifying figure after another sat cross-legged there, listening attentively.

A misty, surging aura filled the air, and a resounding sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Those who are able to listen to this lecture are all ancient emperors and supreme beings from ancient times to the present. They once ruled over the nine heavens and ten earths and protected all living beings.

They later slashed themselves and went into hiding in the dark forbidden zone.

Now they have all come out, they have all gathered here, all to learn the theories of the Mortal Immortals from the Overlord.

Only those who become Dark Sovereigns are qualified to listen to this lecture.

Xiao Ping'an's method for the transformation of holy spirits, which he summarized for all races, has become a universal, introductory-level method of immortal cultivation in the mortal world.

After successfully traversing this path, one will live a third life, experiencing a dramatic increase in strength and lifespan, signifying the official embarkation on the path of immortality in the mortal world.

Xiao Ping'an spoke for a long time before stopping.

On the Enlightenment Cliff of the Immortal Mountain, the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao roared, and the heavens and earth trembled violently, transforming into a celestial land.

All the Dark Lords fell into a deep state of enlightenment and did not awaken for a long time.

A look of sudden realization appeared on everyone's face.

For the first time, a look of utter rapture appeared on their faces; it was the feeling of "hearing the truth in the morning, I can die content in the evening."

They used to think that Ba Tianzun was just a little stronger than them, but now they realize how far Ba Tianzun has come on this path.

This stark contrast made them realize that they had always been like frogs in a well.

At this moment, these Dark Sovereigns wished they could become disciples of the Overlord.

The time required for this Holy Spirit transformation varies from person to person; it may take seven or eight hundred thousand years, or it may take two or three million years to successfully transform.

Therefore, if they want to use this Holy Spirit transformation method, they need to calculate the timing carefully.

However, the Overlord told them that since the end of the Primordial Era, the world had fallen into a long period of darkness, and the coming of the Ancient Era had brought about special changes to the world.

If nothing unexpected happens, according to Ba Tianzun's deduction, the speed of the Holy Spirit Transformation Method will be greatly accelerated at this time, and it will definitely be able to successfully transform before the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path opens.

If he were born at that time, he would be in peak condition when the path to immortality in the Big Dipper opens, and perhaps he could enter the Immortal Realm.

Xiao Ping'an vividly remembered how deceptive the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path and the Flying Immortal Star Immortal Ascension Path were.

The Path to Immortality in the Big Dipper has no limit on the number of participants, but only Great Emperors at their peak can enter; those Supreme Beings who have achieved ultimate sublimation through self-severance are not eligible.

The Ascension Path of the Flying Immortal Star does not restrict cultivation level, but it has a strict quota of only three spots, which is incredibly unfair. These Dark Sovereigns, if they are lucky enough, might be able to enter the Immortal Realm at their peak through the Big Dipper Ascension Path.

Of course, some unlucky ones will fail and die quietly, or, like some historically undeterred dark sovereigns, launch dark rebellions, which would truly be courting death.

According to the original text, the entire ancient era will be the most prosperous period for the human race.

During this period, human emperors emerged one after another, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

It even created the miracle of producing nine generations of Great Accomplished Holy Bodies.

There are still about one to two million years before the opening of the Beidou Immortal Ascension Path, which is enough time for these Dark Sovereigns to complete this transformation.

Although the timeframe is somewhat tight, and they may not have completed their transformation by the time the path to immortality opens, these Dark Sovereigns have some doubts.

But in the end, these Dark Sovereigns still chose to believe in the Overlord.

After all, the current Overlord is already a Mortal Immortal, with extraordinary strength. If he really wanted to harm or trick people, there would be no need for him to do so.

If he wanted to kill these Dark Sovereigns, he could easily kill them with a single slap; why go through all this trouble?

"Now is the best time to transform into a Holy Spirit Stone Embryo. If we miss it, we may really miss the path to immortality through the Big Dipper."

The numerous Dark Sovereigns respectfully bowed to the Overlord before returning to their respective forbidden zones to undergo transformation.

"Many thanks to the Heavenly Venerable for imparting his knowledge and resolving my doubts. If I am able to ascend to immortality in the mortal world in the future, I will definitely remember this kindness."

At this moment, all these unruly dark sovereigns were completely in awe of Xiao Ping'an.

These self-inflicted Dark Sovereigns once thought that as long as they could survive until the path to immortality opened, even if they couldn't become immortals, it would be good to see the path to immortality open.

But now, the Overlord has embarked on a path of rebirth, giving them a chance to regret their actions, allowing them to mend the cracks in the Immortal Platform and continue their immortal destiny.

This is an immeasurable gift for the Dark Lord.

The Overlord imprinted his own magic into the deepest part of the Ancient Star Road. Such a selfless act is truly admirable.

Many Dark Sovereigns, especially those who had not imprinted their mark, their Dao, and their laws on the depths of the ancient starry road, couldn't help but feel a wave of shame.

They obediently imprinted their mark deep within the ancient starry road, together benefiting those who came after.

Xiao Ping'an looked at these tamed and obedient Dark Lords and was very satisfied and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Think about how cruel the Dark Lord in the original story was in order to become an immortal. He would devour billions of living beings at the drop of a hat to repair the cracks in the Immortal Platform.

Now they have found a better path. They no longer devour living beings and have begun to try to benefit future generations. This is all thanks to Xiao Ping'an's use of his strength to persuade people to do good.

As long as Xiao Ping'an firmly suppresses this world, they will continue to obediently be good people.

Seeing the eager Dark Lord, Xiao Ping'an said politely, "I've said everything I need to say. The rest is just practice."

"If you have nothing else to do, hurry back to the place where you are preparing for your transformation, and contemplate it carefully before you transform."

"You don't need to worry about anyone sabotaging you during the transformation. As long as I live in this world, I will never allow such a thing to happen."

Xiao Ping'an's voice was firm and resolute, providing them with a sense of security.

The numerous Dark Sovereigns were overjoyed and bowed deeply to Xiao Ping'an in gratitude.

Although they knew this promise was not guaranteed over time, at least Xiao Ping'an's attitude was there, which surprised and delighted them.

The once bustling Undying Mountain quickly quieted down again.

The Overlord sat cross-legged beneath the ancient tea tree of enlightenment, his entire body radiating countless strands of divine light.

The aura of immortality was vast and boundless, and the profound and mysterious aura of the Great Dao permeated everywhere.

In this sermon on the Great Dao, Xiao Ping'an not only explained the introductory level of the Holy Spirit Transformation Method, but also summarized and sorted out his own Great Dao, making the foundation of his nine lifetimes of transformation even more profound.

At the same time, he is also attempting a ten-life transformation.

Yes, you heard right, he is deducing the method that the Chu Heavenly Emperor used during the Sacred Ruins era.

Above the nine lifetimes of mortal transformation, there is a tenth transformation, which is the pinnacle of immortality, a powerful realm where one can fight against ordinary immortal kings.

Of the entire trilogy, only Chu Feng accomplished this.

Since Xiao Ping'an believed himself to be a person with great fortune and opportunities, he naturally wanted to try to transform himself and reach that realm during this long period of time.

Many people fail to achieve this because they don't know if such a state of being truly exists in the world.

Just like many people studying now, if they could see a data-driven progress bar every day, knowing how much they've learned and how many points they'd get on the test, every student would probably be highly motivated.

After all, every learning experience has quantifiable standards, letting them know that they haven't wasted their time learning.

However, this is not the case in reality. Many people study hard or spend a lot of time studying, but their final grades are not ideal.

In this world, spiritual practice is an eternal topic.

However, many people are also confused about what lies ahead.

Take the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World for example. Xiao Ping'an had read the original text and the trilogy, so he naturally knew that the Path to Immortality in the Mortal World was real.

Therefore, when he cultivates himself, his vision is frighteningly long-term.

Even before attaining enlightenment, he had already witnessed the nine transformations of the Immortal of the Mortal World.

This led him to not regard attaining enlightenment as an end point during his cultivation, but rather as a milestone on the path of cultivation. This caused a significant change in Xiao Ping'an's mindset during his cultivation, as he no longer focused on the present moment but paid more attention to the long term.

Now, after so many tens of thousands of years in this world, he has finally realized his dream and become a mortal immortal.

This was definitely a milestone for him.

Moreover, over the years, he has successfully brought those supreme beings and ancient emperors who were considered a pity in the original text to the mortal world of immortals.

Or rather, it helped them enter a strange world, enabling them to go further on their future path.

And those numerous Dark Sovereigns, because of his suppression, all of them became obedient children in the Dark Forbidden Zone.

Very few dare to launch a dark upheaval.

The overall environment, in particular, has given those dark overlords a greater sense of morality.

Yes, those Dark Sovereigns can no longer devour living beings with impunity. They either obediently undergo transformation or suffocate in the Dark Forbidden Zone until they die. Of course, they can also choose to perish together with Xiao Ping'an.

Of course, mutual destruction was impossible. With the strength of those Dark Sovereigns, even if they all attacked together, they would only be food for Xiao Ping'an.

In fact, Xiao Ping'an had thought that if these Dark Sovereigns were truly blind to the danger, he wouldn't mind massacring them.

In any case, the Undying Emperor's transformation requires a large amount of supreme essence blood along the way. If they really don't know what's good for them, Xiao Ping'an wouldn't mind letting the Undying Emperor kill them all and devour them all.

The Immortal Emperor has now lived to his seventh incarnation. How will he live to his eighth?

The Immortal Emperor has already made some progress. One approach is to try the Great Dream of Eternity, and the other is to try the Divine Silkworm Transformation Method.

Overall, these two methods are relatively mature approaches, and Xiao Ping'an has carefully studied these two methods of transformation.

Although he did not use either of these two transformation methods, the Undying Emperor and the Chaos Celestial Venerable had already studied them many times.

However, the Chaos Celestial Venerable has already used this method of eternal dreaming. It is unknown whether the Undying Emperor can use it to live a new life.

The Immortal Emperor also had another method to watch the elixir of immortality grant him a new life, which he hadn't used yet, so he could try it out.

There is also a method to sever all the body's essence and transform into a mortal body, which the Immortal Emperor could also use.

In short, both the Immortal Emperor and the Chaos Celestial Venerable still have many choices.

It shouldn't be a problem for him to transform into his eighth incarnation and live to his ninth.
