In the world of "Covering the Sky," one can refine Gu (a type of poison) to become an immo

Chapter 139 A Place Where Quasi-Emperors Cannot Enter? (4k)

"I have an idea, but it's not the right time yet. Senior Cai, you are not ready yet, and neither am I."

"In order to carry out all that, our foundation must first enable you to become a Celestial Zombie."

Sha Xiao looked at the old Emperor Cai, who was already eager to try and his mind was becoming active, and said.

He truly thought that way, and it wasn't just a temporary excuse.

According to his original plan, this would only begin after he achieved immortality.

To plant spies in the underworld in advance and send out sufficiently valuable treasures to temporarily render them powerless, this was a strategy that Sha Xiao had already devised in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone.

In this strategy, the Ruthless Great Emperor has tacitly approved, giving Sha Xiao the space to refine the Heavenly Pivot Saintess and lay the groundwork for the Old Madman Yang Jian.

Without her tacit approval, no matter how high Sha Xiao's cultivation level was, it would have been difficult for him to set up the Heaven and Earth Refining Gu Formation around the Great Perfection Sacred Body of the Ancient Era.

If we count the time, more than three years have passed, and if everything goes smoothly, it should be halfway done.

Next, Sha Xiao's task is to find a way to give the Heart Slave Immortal Gu, which he has kept for a long time, to the old madman, so that he will embark on a path that clashes with the underworld.

After all, the old madman also learned the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, bearing the karma of the Holy Body lineage and the Underworld; this was his destiny.

"There are several difficulties in transforming into a celestial zombie."

Sha Xiao earnestly analyzed the situation for Emperor Cai, seeking his advice in the process.

Although Elder Cai, a Quasi-Emperor, was only at the first level of Quasi-Emperor despite his best efforts, it seemed insignificant compared to the terrifying existence they were about to face.

But no matter what, he has entered the Emperor Realm, and according to the Chaotic Ancient Era, he has also embarked on the path of the Venerable.

Perhaps he doesn't deserve to be called a supreme being of humanity, but he is good enough to be regarded as someone who has begun to move towards the level of a sub-immortal.

Such people have almost all found their own path and embarked on a journey of countless paths, making them formidable figures in any world.

"To become an immortal zombie, one must cultivate the path I created, which I named the Void Aperture Method."

As Sha Xiao spoke, he removed most of his defenses, guiding the old quasi-emperor of the Cai family to truly see the method he was cultivating with his divine sense.

"Wow! Eighty-six layers of defense? Seventeen more than I've seen before, you brat..."

""

As Cai Lao, the Quasi-Emperor, watched as the layers of defense on Sha Xiao's body dissipated with a series of clanging sounds and flashes of divine light, his face was filled with praise.

As a master of Origin Arts who is not known for direct combat and has not even crafted any Dao artifacts, Elder Cai, a Quasi-Emperor, still appreciates Sha Xiao's style.

It's a good thing to always put on a protective layer for yourself.

On the road to the capital, he had seen too many talented individuals who, due to their absolute self-confidence, were sniped by some country bumpkin who pulled out a forbidden weapon.

Well, the protagonists of these stories are mostly from the Big Dipper constellation.

According to their records on the ancient star trail, Beidou was practically a gathering place of utter disasters.

There are both penniless, uneducated cultivators and those who can pull out Emperor-level weapons at any time, making them impossible to defend against.

Countless lessons learned through blood and tears have taught the Cai family patriarch that only someone like Sha Xiao, ruthless yet possessing great ambition, has a better chance of becoming an emperor.

Even if they don't become emperors, at least they can live to witness the day when others become emperors, instead of becoming a pile of ignorant and unconscious bones on the road to becoming emperor.

As the old quasi-emperor of the Cai family observed the problems he faced, Sha Xiao explained, "The core of the Immortal Zombie Path lies in the Void Aperture. When the Void Aperture advances two more steps, one can use one's past experiences and foundation as a basis to open up a small world that can grow infinitely, which can be called the Immortal Aperture."

"Hiss, your method is truly wondrous. With a small world within your body, your divine power and life essence will surely be incredibly strong."

The old quasi-emperor of the Cai family was startled when he saw Sha Xiaokong's acupoint.

This approach is actually quite similar to the Secret Realm method.

The secret method simply involves viewing one's body as a world with countless doors, gradually unlocking the doors of potential, making one's physical body comparable to a small world.

Sha Xiao's method was more straightforward and clear, directly creating a real and authentic little world within the body.

Don't be fooled by the fact that in the world of "Covering the Sky," things like the Great Dao being obliterated and countless small worlds being annihilated with a single kick are all fake; they're just quantifiers.

Where does the most crucial point lie for saints and immortals who truly embark on the path to transcendence and immortality?

Is it possible to carve out a small, enduring world from the void?

The ability to create a small world is an immense power, signifying that a cultivator has initially acquired the ability to give back to the world.

From this moment on, the Way within a sage begins to take a completely different path from the Way of the world itself and the Way of others.

Even when a great emperor observes the path of a sage, regardless of its strength or whether it is correct or not, he can still see a different path and learn from others' experiences.

The wonder of the Emptiness Method lies in the fact that, from the very beginning of cultivation, it uses the human body to create a false little world, thus giving one the appearance of a sage from the outset.

It allows players to bypass a long series of procedures and directly access the main path from the very beginning.

People use openings to isolate the Great Way, even if in the early stages they are still just imitating others.

However, this will still cause their own path to have slight but unique changes from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Even if they don't achieve the sixth level of Gu Immortal status after they die, their empty apertures can still feed back to the Great Dao, bringing more variables to the Great Dao, making the Great Dao richer, and allowing it to grow faster.

Before achieving immortality, the strengths of this method are insufficient to outweigh its weaknesses.

But once the immortal aperture is opened, it's a completely different world.

The Immortal Aperture is truly the method to ascend to immortality. As long as one can continuously expand the Immortal Aperture until it can resist chaos, even a great emperor can drive it across chaos and find a world that is not lacking in the essence of longevity.

Even in its initial stage, it truly contained a world that could exist within chaos, and a complete Great Dao.

If both sides are saints from the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the side with the immortal aperture will definitely win.

With a wave of the hand, the power of the Great Dao of an entire world is unleashed, and even while attacking the small world within the opponent's body, it continuously draws essence from the void from afar. This advantage in battle is immeasurable.

"If you want to practice your method, it would be best to open up the sea of ​​suffering and the void at the same time."

"If the void opens too early, it will be like you now. The void covers the wheel of life, the sea of ​​suffering is limited, and the physical body is unable to bear the Great Dao."

"If the sea of ​​suffering is opened first, the empty space will find it difficult to draw strength from the wheel of life, like a rootless duckweed. If both are cultivated at the same time, the speed of cultivation will be much slower."

Emperor Cai accurately pointed out the problem, but instead of disappointment, he showed even greater admiration.

"You now have two life wheels and a sea of ​​suffering, yet only one empty aperture? Is this a mishap in your cultivation, the work of the Great Emperor?"

Sha Xiao nodded and said, "This is an attempt by the Azure Emperor to solve the problems of my Void Aperture and Wheel of Life."

"I'm still missing one opening. Once I have another opening, both sides will be level."

"My inner world is like Yin and Yang, and as they fight against each other, the Great Dao will evolve on its own. I dare say that I will definitely reach the Quasi-Emperor level within fifty years."

Sha Xiao already had a plan for her body.

Once the second opening is created, he will connect the two openings together.

The two different seas of suffering flow within the void, forming a Möbius strip, like stepping on the right foot with the left, directly helping him rise like a rocket.

The problem now is how to make the two openings as level as possible and how to overcome the tribulation of ascension.

Emperor Cai nodded: "You have found the path to sainthood; all that remains is to accumulate experience. If you can truly make these two great paths complement the world, you do have a chance to create miracles."

"However, the tribulations you are about to face will likely be no easier than the tribulations of a quasi-emperor."

Seeing that Cai Lao, the Quasi-Emperor, had already understood the principle of the Void Aperture Method, Sha Xiao continued, "I naturally have a solution to this. The tribulation of lightning is not a problem for me."

"As I said, once the immortal aperture is opened, everyone will have a unique path of their own."

"That Great Dao can fully contain one's Dao Fruit and will, which is the foundation of the correct Immortal Zombie Technique."

"Everything is engraved in this Great Dao, so there is no need for the primordial spirit; one can find one's true self simply by having the thought."

The old quasi-emperor of the Cai family's eyes lit up, and he continued to deduce: "Those great emperors and supreme beings will never cultivate your new method, so they are destined to inevitably find their own selves between heaven and earth."

""

"Back when they were still emperors, they would never have looked down on themselves now."

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Sha Xiao smiled and nodded. What he was taking advantage of was the ancient emperor's own pride.

How majestic and spirited those ancient emperors were when they were young, as recorded in the Great Dao!

When that emperor was young, he looked down on the Dark Lord as if he were nothing more than a skeleton in his own home, as if he were an ant.

If my past self were to come back to life and see myself reduced to this state, I would definitely be furious.

Sha Xiao took out the Mindfulness Gu and handed it to Elder Cai, saying, "This path first requires you, Elder Cai, to open up your mind and continuously condense Gu worms like this, storing your thoughts within them as completely as possible."

"If possible, it would be best to refine one's own spirit into a Gu and store it within it."

The quasi-Emperor Cai took the Gu worm and sighed with regret: "Fragment of the Dao? This further supplements the problem of insufficient system combat power and diversity in your system. It can already be said to be a complete Dao."

"Once you achieve the immortal aperture you spoke of, it will be another cultivation method that leads directly to the Great Dao."

"You're going to follow the path of a Transcending Tribulation Celestial Venerable, and put together a completely new cultivation method for the world. What ambition and what methods you have."

"I know why you made me wait; it takes a lot of time to refine myself into these fragments of the Great Dao."

Seeing that Cai Lao, the Quasi-Emperor, had grasped the key point, Sha Xiao continued to explain: "In addition, you also need to spend some time immersing your body in the aura of the Netherworld beforehand, thus relinquishing your physical life force."

"A slight mistake in this process could lead to irreparable consequences."

The old quasi-emperor Cai smiled wryly and said, "Young fellow Daoist, you underestimate me. My Cai family is famous for its Origin Techniques, and I am most familiar with this kind of thing."

As he spoke, he looked toward the super dragon vein of the Qin Clan, tens of thousands of miles away.

Sha Xiao followed the direction of the old quasi-emperor's gaze, and with a guess in mind, said, "Just as you thought, this matter may have to trouble your ancestor. But if everything goes smoothly, it might be able to save your ancestor's life."

The quasi-emperor Cai looked at Sha Xiao in surprise: "Is this true? That is a curse from the underworld. My Cai family's ancestor's source techniques were masterful, no less than those of a quasi-emperor, yet he still met that end. I am now unable to resolve it either."

Sha Xiao nodded seriously: "The curse has been engraved into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth by those Great Emperors, and it is impossible to completely remove it."

"But once I ascend to immortality, I will refine the thought-gu in your hand into an immortal gu, which will be able to keep their minds awake for a long time."

,

"If you or your ancestors could also open the Immortal Aperture, then when they enter the Immortal Aperture, they can also regain consciousness."

"At that time, you can use your mind to stay in the immortal aperture to keep your mind clear, while pretending to be bewitched, and figure out the arrangements of the underworld."

This was one of the plans that Sha Xiao had made before coming to Beidou.

In this way, the Cai family patriarch is awakened, and at the same time, the bug that Qingdi's killing intent is determined to kill the Cai family patriarch is exploited, thus indirectly preserving Qingdi's killing intent.

But at that time, he only intended to use the Azure Emperor's killing intent as a killing move.

But now, Sha Xiao has a new idea: if she's going to pursue excitement, she might as well go all the way.

With the Azure Emperor's Heart in his possession, as long as he finds Ye Fan and retrieves the Azure Emperor's Weapon, along with a few suitable Immortal Gu, Sha Xiao dares to create a second Azure Emperor!

With this vessel, Sha Xiao was confident that he could forcefully awaken the Azure Emperor, who was in deep enlightenment.

As long as the Azure Emperor's weapon is used to refine the Chaos Treasure Emperor Lotus Immortal Gu, the Azure Emperor can directly use this second body to unleash the power of the Flawless Emperor.

When the time comes, I will take the Azure Emperor with me to command the world. Sha Xiao will see which little brat dares to bare his teeth at him!

The old quasi-emperor of the Cai family glanced thoughtfully at Sha Xiao and chuckled, "You little fellow Daoist, you're really pushing your luck, quite the opportunist."

"You've probably been eyeing my ancestor ever since you saw me, haven't you? Now you even dare to covet the Azure Emperor!"

Sha Xiao chuckled, her face innocent: "I am the successor of the Azure Emperor. Isn't it normal for me to inherit the Azure Emperor's legacy?"

"Instead of wasting these, we should find a way to keep them as provisions to fight against the darkness and turmoil."

"Moreover, isn't this also an exploration of a new path to immortality? I'm sure the Azure Emperor would be willing."

Emperor Cai stroked his beard: "I understand. I will do as you said and quickly master the Emptiness Technique you mentioned."

"But you should know that you only have three to five years to prepare before the Immortal Transformation Pool reopens. Your time is running out."

Sha Xiao nodded knowingly and said confidently, "At most two years, I should be able to open my immortal aperture. At that time, I will need you, Elder, to set up an array to protect me."

"it is good."

The old emperor of the Cai family nodded in agreement.

"There's one more thing I need your help with. Senior, you should have seen my companion Xiaoqing. Could you tell me which direction they went?"

Sha Xiao summoned Xiao Qing's portrait and looked at the old quasi-emperor of the Cai family, asking a question.

"Let me think..."

""

The old quasi-emperor of the Cai family recalled for a moment, but then his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? How could it have disappeared?"

Sha Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

What's going on? We can't even find a single quasi-emperor?

After a moment of divination with a grim expression, Cai Lao, the Quasi-Emperor, looked apologetically at Sha Xiao and said, "I'm afraid there are forbidden figures in the place your companion went. I can't go directly there, otherwise the Big Dipper will be turned upside down in an instant."

"I can take you there, but it's fraught with danger, and I can't interfere. I'm afraid you'll have to venture out on your own."

Sha Xiao pondered for a while with a grim expression, then nodded to Elder Cai, the Quasi-Emperor, and said, "It's alright. We'll catch the big fish and let the small fish slip through. I happen to be one of those fish that slipped through the net. Even if it's the core forbidden area, I'm still three-tenths confident."

Q

The quasi-Emperor Cai looked at Sha Xiao with appreciation, handed him a jade token, and tore open space with a wave of his hand: "It's not that dangerous, but there is an extreme imperial formation there, and it's too gloomy. If I go, I'm afraid the curse will take effect on me immediately. I'm really not suitable to go."

"But if your life is truly in danger, just crush it. This old man will risk his life to save you."

Sha Xiao's heart skipped a beat; she had already guessed roughly where it was.

He handed Cai Lao, the Quasi-Emperor, a pile of Hope Gu and a jade tablet engraved with simple knowledge of Gu cultivation. He hung the jade tablet on his waist, smiled, and stepped into the space tunnel: "That's not the case. Just wait for my good news."
