Chapter 154 Another near-ninth-level talent? A once-in-a-lifetime genius appears (4k)

"You see, everything here is actually designed to create the atmosphere of ascension to immortality."

"The ultimate goal is to gather the spiritual energy of all things here, and then transfer it out to nurture a living being."

Duan De pointed to all the precious orchid trees and said.

"To slay all spirits and honor the one is indeed a brilliant idea."

Sha Xiao nodded, looking admiringly at this small world that, despite being situated on a dragon vein, had never given birth to a single living being capable of cultivation.

"You should have noticed it too, right? This great formation is pointing in the direction..."

Sha Xiao looked at Duan De and asked.

"Yes, at the ancestral temple in Zhongzhou, the Feathered Emperor is actually still alive!"

As Duan De spoke, his fat body trembled, and his voice was filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, I ran into Sha Xiao, who pulled me away. Otherwise, given my personality, I would have definitely prepared myself and continued to go deeper until I reached the very end.

Duan De could already imagine the scene after he painstakingly broke into the innermost part, and the Feathered Emperor laughing and opening his mouth wide at him.

It almost turned into a buffet; he was just a hair's breadth away from dying in there.

"No, he must have already left, otherwise neither of us would have survived."

Sha Xiao shook her head and said firmly.

"So that's why, after all these years, not a single being capable of cultivation has been born here?"

Ye Fan was startled as he listened to Sha Xiao and Duan De's discussion.

He then realized that although this place looked like a Taoist paradise, and he had seen many auspicious white foxes and white-browed old turtles full of spiritual energy when he entered, there was not a single living being cultivating.

This is because all possibilities for living beings have been eliminated to nourish the transformation of the Feathered Emperor.

Such a ruthless method.

Silently and without a sound, it severed the possibility of harmless living beings, all for the sake of supporting one person.

"Hmm, after the Feathered Emperor comes the Ruthless Emperor. Can you guess where the Ruthless Emperor's Devouring Heaven Demon Art originated from?"

Sha Xiao smiled and gave Ye Fan a brief history lesson.

"hiss--!"

Ye Fan immediately understood what Sha Xiao meant.

A person's cultivation methods will inevitably be influenced by their predecessors, either by imitation or by breaking through their methods.

Just as the Underworld Lord caused a calamity involving corpses, the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao developed the Scripture of Salvation, and the Empress of the Yin Human Realm will give rise to the Holy Emperor of the Sun...

Even the legendary Nine Secrets basically conform to this pattern.

Even the most talented person needs to accumulate experience.

The Ruthless Great Emperor was skilled at devouring human bloodlines, so he must have had a role model to learn from in the early stages.

"The Feathered Emperor truly has remarkable methods; ordinary people simply cannot handle this."

Looking at the demon god flower that was bound to the entire formation, Sha Xiao had a sudden realization.

No wonder Ye Fan and his group didn't see that Quasi-Emperor when they arrived in the original story.

Clearly, when they arrived, the old man's life essence had been completely drained by this imperial formation.

His immense cultivation nourished this demon goddess flower, and he himself became a wisp of ethereal light.

This is truly a case of how much fame and fortune have been wasted.

No matter how talented or powerful you are, if you don't become an emperor, you'll ultimately be nothing but dust.

Even a peerless genius can perish in some unknown corner of the universe due to an accident, leaving nothing behind.

"You should have a solution by now?"

Sha Xiao turned her head and looked at Duan De, asking a question.

"Hehe, Your Holiness, you have one too, don't you?"

Duan De rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

"I can't, I can't wait that long, they can't afford to wait."

Sha Xiao shook her head, still intending to have Duan De come.

"Your Holiness, you're putting us in a difficult position. There's no such thing as a perfect solution."

Sha Xiao stared at Duan De and slowly said, "You can definitely do it, I believe in you."

Regarding the formations native to the world of Shrouding the Heavens, he had absolute faith in Duan De, who had once set up the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain Formation and had the experience of proving his Dao through Origin Techniques.

He dared to say that even if Duan De forgot everything, his physical habits alone would be enough for him to subconsciously pick out the best and most suitable solution.

What's so surprising? It's clear you haven't thought about it seriously.

"Wait, what are you two talking about? Can you stop playing riddles?"

Ye Fan finally couldn't hold back and complained.

Sha Xiao thought for a moment and explained to Ye Fan simply, "To put it simply, my method is very simple: I'll break the formation directly with brute force. After a while, I'll have the Myriad Green Immortal Gu ready, and then I'll use my imperial power to dissolve the formation directly."

"It's just that Pang Bo and his team might not be able to hold out for that long."

"What about Master Duan?"

Ye Fan looked at Duan De and asked.

"The core of this great formation is this demon god flower. As long as it doesn't bloom, the formation cannot be dispelled."

"However, the Feathered Emperor had previously bound this great formation to the outer dragon vein, drawing upon the dragon vein's spiritual energy to nourish himself."

"After that person came out, the Feathered Emperor tied the Demon God Flower to that person's body."

"I can now change the formation back to the Dragon Vein, and then that person and Pang Bo can release it."

"That's right. That dragon vein is dead. Once it's connected, the death energy and resentment will pollute this demon god flower, and it won't be able to take perfect shape."

Duan De rubbed his hands together with some trouble, then gestured towards Xiao Qing under the Demon God Flower: "Moreover, not only will her transformation be interrupted, but she may also suffer serious injuries."

"The Holy Son wants me to find a way to both dispel the great formation and preserve the Demon God Flower, but I can't do it."

Ye Fan looked at Duan De, who was complaining, and then at Sha Xiao, and began to regret asking the question.

With Xiaoqing on one side and Pang Bo on the other, isn't he just pointing out the trolley problem to Lao Sha?

Sha Xiao narrowed her eyes as she looked at Duan De, who was complaining, and said, "If you give it your all, I won't treat you unfairly. As long as you provide the Gu formula and materials, I can refine any immortal Gu for you."

"Alright! Just watch me."

Duan De's face immediately lit up with a smile. He grinned, showing his big white teeth, slapped his thigh, and immediately began to give orders.

He ordered Ye Fan to overthrow a mountain in the east and asked Sha Xiao to refine a bunch of Gu worms and create a river in the west.

He was holding a Bagua compass, with a broken bowl on his head, and fiddling with the demon god flower.

"alright!"

Less than half a day later, Duan De announced that it was done.

When Sha Xiao and Ye Fan returned, they saw the four-colored buds of the Demon God Flower dazzlingly beautiful, with strands of rosy light falling on Xiao Qing.

The demon god flower, which was about to bloom, was actually closing up and turning back into a seed, taking root in Xiao Qing's body.

"The Demon God Flower's effects only last for a moment after it blooms. I'm sealing it into this person's body now. Although it can't immediately and completely absorb the Demon God Flower, it can coexist with it."

"This is the oldest use of the Demon God Flower: using its own body as a seed to nurture the Demon God. When this Demon God Flower blooms, that is when it becomes the Demon God."

Duan De said with a serious expression.

The Demon God Flower completely merged into Xiao Qing's body, and four lights flowed on Xiao Qing's surface, like a colorful veil.

"Zheng Yi" 6

A sound of chains breaking rang out, and the array patterns of the entire Feathered Immortal Valley suddenly changed.

"boom--!"

Inside a thatched hut seven or eight miles away, a powerful aura, almost identical to Sha Xiao's previous one, swept across the entire small world.

An old man with silver hair and a face as aged as a dried corpse suddenly appeared in the sky, riding the wind.

He was wearing short sleeves, revealing a pair of pure white and withered arms.

It's him.

Sha Xiao and the others exchanged a glance.

"Haha, I'm finally out again!"

The old man named Jian Chen's aged voice echoed throughout the entire Feathered Immortal Valley small world.

He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in the entire small world was swept away by him.

Gradually, Jian Chen's voice became younger and younger, his face became younger and younger, and his muscles became fuller.

In a short while, although his aura still made people feel unsteady, he transformed into the appearance of a young swordsman.

"boom--!"

Suddenly, a spatial rift opened, and Himeko, with the Void Mirror above her head, traversed countless array patterns and entered this small world directly.

"Uncle Jian Chen!"

Looking at Jian Chen, who looked like a young man, Ji Zi called out in a trembling voice.

He clenched his fists tightly, barely managing to restrain himself from rushing forward.

"Fellow Daoist Jian, it's been a long time."

The Void Mirror also emitted a divine thought full of remembrance.

"What's going on? Do they know each other?"

Duan De looked at Jian Chen and the Void Mirror in surprise and asked.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

Sha Xiao rolled her eyes and looked at Jian Chen and Ji Zi with curiosity.

He took out a few slices of watermelon from the hole and ate them silently.

This is the real world; everything is changing.

The places that are only briefly mentioned in the original work may hold the past of an unparalleled master.

That's why he adopted a cautious and prudent approach after joining Beidou.

Only recently, after confirming that he had the strength of the Great Sage in his normal state, did he dare to relax a little.

The Big Dipper, this is truly the burial star of emperors.

Saints are less than dogs, Great Saints are everywhere, only Quasi-Emperors can tremble, and only the unorthodox have the right to speak normally.

"Uncle Jian Chen, I really didn't expect to see you again. But seeing you in a place like this isn't surprising at all..."

""

Himeko looked at Jian Chen, whose life force was teetering on the brink of collapse but who was still trying to maintain his divine power, and smiled with a touch of nostalgia.

Jian Chen had already shown signs of this habit when he was still young.

He also remembered that when he was a child, his father would often go into the restricted areas with this uncle.

Even if he were torn to pieces by the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone and his divine power was depleted, he would still try to maintain his dashing image.

They euphemistically say: "You may lose your head and your blood may flow, but you must never lose your carefree spirit."

"Hahaha, there's nothing we can do about it. Who would have thought that old man, the Feathered Emperor, would still be alive?"

Jian Chen rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly.

It was bad enough that he was taken advantage of by Ji Xukong when he was young, but now he's being taken advantage of by his son...

To be honest, he also felt a little embarrassed.

"The Feathered Emperor is still alive?"

The Void Mirror flickered, but that wasn't entirely unexpected.

"Uncle Jian, how is the Feathered Emperor doing these days? Should we go and visit him for you?"

Ji Zi looked at Jian Chen, whose blood and energy were depleted and whose silk essence was almost gone, and her eyes flashed with anger. She took the initiative to make a suggestion.

He remembered that his uncle was only about seven thousand years old when his father sealed him away, which was the prime of his life for a quasi-emperor.

Now that he's become like this, how can he not be angry?

"Haha, forget it."

A flicker of excitement crossed Jian Chen's heart.

He quickly suppressed his anger and smiled indifferently: "I don't really have any grudges against him, it's just a misunderstanding."

"I dismantled his imperial formation, and the rainbow base interrupted his transformation. He then took some of my raw silk essence."

"All things considered, India and India are even now."

Sha Xiao nodded knowingly.

Sure enough, this was the backup dragon vein during the transformation of the Feathered Emperor.

Otherwise, logically speaking, Emperor Yuhua should have moved to another place long ago after the ancestral dragon vein of Zhongzhou was severed.

How could they have stayed in Danzhou Zuli for thousands of years before leaving?

If it weren't for this Quasi-Emperor Jian Chen accidentally entering thousands of years ago and dismantling the Imperial Array, the Feathered Emperor Seal wouldn't have left Danzhou Zuli thousands of years ago.

Hehehe, the Feathered Emperor, that old unlucky guy is gone.

Once he let go, his subordinates and that bastard from the Heavenly Court lineage all ended up together.

Unexpectedly, a ruthless emperor appeared, causing the dragon vein of Danzhou to be severed, which directly led to a rapid slowdown in the transformation process.

Having finally begun to solidify his physical form, he has entered the fast lane. With a little effort, he can barely catch up with the opening of the path to immortality and enter the path to immortality as a fully-fledged emperor.

As a result, Jian Chen destroyed the second dragon vein, interrupting the gestation process once again, and all plans came to naught.

Having lost all hope, Emperor Yu Hua Er Bu Shi Chou ran back to his ancestral planet.

I'm preparing to start over, first to be born completely, and then to find a way to wait for the path to immortality to open again.

Tsk tsk, if I were the Feathered Emperor, I'd want to die.

Sha Xiao deduced the Feathered Emperor's plan in his heart and couldn't help but chuckle.

Looking at Jian Chen's attitude, the Void Mirror remained silent for a while, then sighed softly, "I understand. You really are still the same as the Great Emperor."

Jian Chen touched his handsome cheek and chuckled, "You can't say that. After all, I'm way more handsome than that kid Xu Kong!"

Void Mirror and Himeko fell silent. Although it was a bit painful to say, it was indeed true.

Even the Void Mirror knew that the reason its own emperor had created a technique that made people unable to see their faces was because this guy was the one who made the ugliness.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that both sides had basically confirmed the situation, Sha Xiao coughed and moved closer.

"Greetings to the Holy Son of the Azure Emperor."

Ji Zi then noticed Sha Xiao and the others, and quickly bowed to them, introducing them: "This is my father's comrade-in-arms who fought alongside the Undying Supreme, Uncle Jian Chen."

"His cultivation level is at the Quasi-Ninth Realm, just one step away from becoming a Great Emperor. He even entered the Quasi-Ninth Realm three hundred years earlier than my father."

"My father once said that if Uncle Jane hadn't stopped at the last moment, it would be even more obvious who would have attained enlightenment back then."

Jian Chen waved his hand: "Don't listen to that guy Xu Kong's nonsense, what do you mean by stopping here? It's not like I can keep going up if I want to leave."

"My ugliness has exhausted its potential and can't move forward anymore. If I could go any further, I would have already proven myself through ugliness."

Looking at Jian Chen, who had a blank expression and showed no signs of being a peerless powerhouse, but rather seemed more like a college student, Ye Fan asked Sha Xiao in a low voice with some doubt, "Is this really a Quasi-Emperor? I feel that his aura is not even as strong as when you transformed before."

To be able to enter the forbidden zone and fight a supreme being alongside the Void Emperor, this person must be at least a near-ninth level being, right?

Why is his aura so weak now, even weaker than Sha Xiao's?
