Chapter 80 Journey to Immortality, Ancient Forbidden Land

Within the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Land, the Dao sounds boomed and resounded, allowing one to easily grasp the Dao's trajectory in a state of ethereal clarity. However, at this moment, no cultivator could cultivate with peace of mind.

As the words of the eldest sage of the Ji family echoed throughout the heavens and earth, all the cultivators who had come from the outside world to cultivate here fell silent.

Even though they knew perfectly well that He Lang had previously fought against the supreme being in the Beidou Life Forbidden Zone, they still chose to demand an explanation from him.

Without a sound, He Lang's figure appeared in the void. His black hair was loose and his skin was crystal clear. Unlike before when he was outside the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Land, he did not exude a supreme aura. Instead, the aura he emitted was extremely gentle, yet it made the cultivators in the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Land feel an invisible pressure.

No one understands the terror of a person who is about to attain enlightenment better than the saints of the outer realms and the ancestral kings of all races. If he takes another step forward, he will be a supreme emperor or an ancient king.

“I know what you want to ask. I haven’t left any tricks on you. I opened up this land for the purpose of cultivating the Great Dao. Your coming here to cultivate has taken me by surprise and has almost disrupted my enlightenment cultivation.”

"If it weren't for your resonance with my Sendai, allowing me to witness the mysteries of your bloodline and ancient scriptures, thus perfecting myself, I would have already gone on a killing spree."

He Lang uttered divine sounds, causing celestial flowers to descend from the sky and golden lotuses to spring from the ground, displaying unparalleled majesty.

The saints from beyond the realm reacted with a mixture of emotions, their expressions shifting between belief and doubt.

The cultivators of Beidou, however, did not believe him and could see through his sinister intentions at a glance.

Your real purpose in deliberately opening up this land was to collect scriptures from all living beings! No wonder you didn't go to the Ancient Star Road; you were just waiting for people from all the heavens and myriad realms to walk right into your trap.

He Lang scanned them with his divine sense and found that they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces. He thought to himself that Hei Huang and Duan De had really ruined his reputation!
Do you even know what a Heavenly Emperor is? Would I, the Heavenly Emperor, oppress you? What a joke!
“The Taiyin Human Emperor has visited the Daoist priests. If there were really something unusual, how could the Human Emperor ignore it?” Seeing that they did not believe this, He Lang brought up the Taiyin Human Emperor.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the Heavenly Emperor's Daoist land had a brightening eye, recalling the conversation between the Human Emperor and the Demon-Subduing Pestle on Mount Sumeru, which reassured them considerably.

Things are indeed as the Heavenly Emperor said. If there were truly any anomalies, the Human Emperor would have already taken action to kill the Heavenly Emperor! The Human Emperor is extremely compassionate and would not allow them to suffer.

But once that problem was solved, they thought of how their ancient scriptures had been obtained by this Heavenly Emperor. Their expressions shifted, and they wanted to say something, but they were afraid that He Lang would slap them all to death.

“Since you have doubts, you may leave as you see fit. The Heavenly Emperor and Daoist priests will not stop you from leaving.” After He Lang finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the void.

The cultivators in the Heavenly Emperor's Daoist land watched the void where he vanished, and no one spoke, nor did anyone choose to leave.

Where else could they find such a supreme place for enlightenment if they left? The longer they cultivated here, the more they felt the dawn of a breakthrough.

As for the mysteries of bloodlines, ancient scriptures, and secret techniques mentioned by the Heavenly Emperor, they were powerless to change anything anyway.

……

The projection in the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Land is merely a manifestation of He Lang's omnipresent nature, while his true form is discussing longevity and forbidden zones with the Taiyin Human Emperor, the Azure Emperor, and the Great Perfection Holy Body of Mars within the Demon Emperor Banner.

After studying the Summoning Demon Scripture and comprehending the profound mysteries of the ancient scripture, the Taiyin Emperor was completely at ease and prepared to begin cultivating this method.

He also approached He Lang, who had just returned from a match against the restricted area, to express his apologies.

The Emperor knew that it was because of him that this future prodigy had been exposed to the eyes of those supreme beings in the forbidden zone too early, and he felt somewhat guilty.

"Your Majesty is overthinking it. Even if you didn't appear, I would still visit the major forbidden zones to see what's going on with these ancient supreme beings who have severed their own paths. The path to immortality will appear within the next hundred years, and they are all my competitors." He Lang expressed that he also wanted to compete for the path to immortality and would eventually have to face the supreme beings of the forbidden zones. Now he was fearless of all enemies, so His Majesty didn't need to worry.

"To become an immortal! A grand dream of heroes throughout the ages. Whether immortals truly exist in this world is something even ancient emperors like us cannot be certain of. In pursuit of immortality, some have already fallen into the deepest abyss."

The Yin Emperor stood in the small immortal realm and sighed.

Immortality and the path to immortality have become an enduring obsession for those supreme beings who have severed their own paths.

"Heavenly Emperor, are you so sure that the Immortal Path really leads to meeting immortals?" The Martian Saint Body, standing to the side, sensed the firmness in He Lang's tone and was somewhat puzzled.

He had spoken with the Azure Emperor, and even the Azure Emperor, the supreme emperor of the demon race, frankly admitted that he was not sure if the path to immortality could truly lead to immortality. How come he felt that He Lang's belief was even stronger than the demon emperor's?

"Of course there are immortals. I once looked back at the past and saw a corner of the future. I saw the path to immortality open. I led all the venerable ones into the immortal realm. It was a magnificent era."

No one understands the Dao of Immortality better than me.

Martian Holy Body: "..."

"Here we go again, spouting nonsense!" The Martian Holy Body silently stopped the conversation. He was already familiar with He Lang's style and didn't give him a chance to brag.

"Human Emperor, do you still have any doubts about the Summoning Demon Scripture? If not, you can start cultivating it as soon as possible. I plan to open up a spiritual realm, and I would like to ask you to help oversee it and suppress the important nodes of the spiritual realm."

Since the Martian Holy Body didn't respond to the topic, He Lang changed direction and began communicating with the true spirit consciousness of the Taiyin Human Emperor.

The Demon Summoning Scripture he passed on to the Taiyin Emperor and the Mars Saint Body was different from those circulating outside. The Demon Summoning Scripture mastered by the Taiyin Emperor and the Mars Saint Body had a feasible method for forging a divine embryo and transforming back to its original state.

In the cultivation system of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the blood of ancestors flows into the bodies of descendants, and the Great Dao, order, and life imprint are all deposited in the bloodline.

When later generations cultivate their ancient scriptures, they condense the order and principles of the creators within their bodies. If these principles are transformed into a divine embryo, it is the reappearance of the great Dao of the creators.

In addition, He Lang incorporated the longevity method he researched from the power of faith, allowing "me" to sit cross-legged in the hearts of all beings, nourishing the soul with my body. It won't be long before the Martian Holy Body and the Taiyin Human Emperor are completely recreated; a few thousand years will be enough.

"it is good!"

The Taiyin Emperor had already determined that this method would not harm sentient beings. At this moment, he recited the ancient scripture, and a rain of light from the Great Dao rose in his true spirit consciousness. Following the connection in the dark, it fell into the bodies of those beings who were practicing the Taiyin Ancient Scripture and disappeared.

The sacred power of the Taiyin Origin surged within the Lesser Immortal Realm, creating a Taiyin Origin Dao Land that submerged the Human Emperor within it.

"Senior Mars, it's time to head to the Ancient Sacred Land. There, there is a living Great Accomplished Sacred Body, which will greatly help your return."

Standing in the small immortal realm, He Lang gazed at the abyss beneath the nine sacred mountains in the center of the desolate ancient forbidden land and spoke to the Martian Sacred Body.

"The day has finally come. I really want to know if my Holy Body lineage is truly capable of resonance and fusion, just as you say..."

Upon hearing this, the Martian Holy Body's gaze deepened, and it transformed into a beam of immortal light that rushed into He Lang's body.
