Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 217 This humble Taoist nurtures himself

"Fellow Daoist Ming, you are able to come into contact with the Great Dao of Immortals and Gods?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Changsheng's eyes.

Although he had already been imbued with the aura of immortals and gods by virtue of the sacred runes, he dared not say that he could come into contact with the path of immortals and gods.

Could it be that Jiu Youming has already comprehended the Great Dao of Immortals and Gods?

Has she become an immortal?

"You can make contact with it through the Samsara Realm, fellow Daoist, there's no need to be too shocked. This is the Earth Emperor's inherited method," Jiu Youming said calmly.

Li Changsheng twitched the corner of his mouth. This shouldn't be surprising.

He knew the power of immortals and gods; with just their aura, they could crush anyone below them in a fight.

Back then, Yang Dingtian didn't dare to move under the aura of immortals and gods, fearing that he might be accidentally killed by them.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed incredibly powerful. If you can come into contact with the Great Dao of Immortals and Gods, then the Great Dao of the Mortal Realm must not be difficult for you."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have already grasped the essence of both immortal and mortal realms. What are you still lacking?"

"time!"

Jiuyouming said solemnly, "The gestation of the Holy Embryo requires an extremely long time. I'm afraid even the Holy Embryo itself doesn't know exactly how long it will take."

When did the Holy Embryo begin to develop, and how long did it take in total? The Holy Embryo truly doesn't know.

Because when the sacred fetus was first conceived, it had not yet developed any sentience.

This timeframe would be extremely long, at least tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of years!

How can a sacred embryo be conceived within ten thousand years?

Totally impossible!

"Fellow Daoist, are you worried that we won't be able to wait for the Holy Embryo to develop?" Li Changsheng pondered.

"Yes, we can't wait that long, and we don't know if it will work out."

Jiuyouming sighed softly and said, "Moreover, creating a sacred embryo is not truly nurtured by heaven and earth, so isn't there a difference? Also, can the sacred embryo inside be born alive?"

"Or perhaps be born?" Li Changsheng frowned.

Jiuyouming continued, "When we create a sacred embryo, we must forge a body that is identical to the sacred embryo. The sacred embryo's body is extremely powerful, but if the created sacred embryo is not strong enough, it will die in the womb if it cannot break through the sacred embryo."

Li Changsheng fell into deep thought.

The Nine Netherworld Meditation Method must have taken quite some time.

"There's no way to solve this unless we keep guarding it. If the sacred embryo can't come out, then we need to start cultivating inside the sacred embryo."

Li Changsheng pondered, "Even if we leave behind a fragment of our soul, we can't hold out for that long. Should we hide the cultivation technique within the sacred runes to make it easier for the sacred embryo to comprehend it?"

"However, the sacred runes are profound, and Ming cannot seal information within them," Jiuyou Ming said, shaking his head.

Ordinary sacred embryos are initially ignorant and do not even know how to cultivate, let alone comprehend their own sacred runes or understand cultivation methods.

The sacred runes they used to create the sacred embryo were all mature sacred runes, containing inherited knowledge.

However, one may not be able to comprehend the sacred embryo, so the cultivation method must be made easier to comprehend.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng said, "I am somewhat confident that I can modify the sacred runes so that the sacred embryo can be directly inherited."

"Fellow Daoist, your mastery of the Great Dao of Runes is indeed profound." A strange light flashed in Jiu Youming's eyes: "In that case, perhaps we can truly succeed."

"But what good is success if you and I can't see it?" Li Changsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Jiu Youming said calmly, "How can I not see them? What if these two holy embryos were you and me?"

Li Changsheng was taken aback, his gaze fixed intently on Jiu Youming: "What do you mean, fellow Daoist? How can you and I become a Holy Embryo? It's just that endless, long years can kill us all."

Lifespan is limited; even if one achieves the status of a carefree immortal, one's lifespan is only 13,000 years.

Even with all the longevity-promoting elixirs, if Li Changsheng doubled his lifespan, it would only amount to 26,000 years.

After 26,000 years, you want to conceive a sacred embryo?

That's wishful thinking!

"Just another form of continuation."

Nine Netherworld sighed softly, "Netherworld can use the Earth Emperor's Reincarnation to forcibly crush and recreate our souls; that will be our rebirth."

"Perhaps it is no longer us. A new consciousness will be born, and it may remember us, or it may not."

Li Changsheng fell silent.

To create a new life with one's own soul?

"How confident are you?" Li Changsheng asked.

"One-tenth," Jiu Youming said, "It's less like us, more like our descendants, and the key to the gestation of the Holy Embryo..."

Li Changsheng listened quietly to Jiu Youming's story.

Using the methods of the Nine Netherworlds, he shattered his own soul, combined his soul power with the sacred runes, and guided the mortal and immortal paths to be reborn.

Their souls are like unborn embryos, yet they have a foundation.

Once successful, the soul will develop a will, obtain the cultivation method and begin cultivation, and upon emerging from seclusion, it will be a powerful holy embryo.

Li Changsheng suddenly remembered the most terrifying existence from his previous life.

Chaos Demon God!

The method of conception described by Jiu Youming is almost identical to that of the Chaos Demon God.

Nurtured by the Great Dao, cultivated within the sacred embryo, on the day of its transformation, it will possess immense power that reaches heaven and earth!

Isn't this what the legendary Chaos God is like?

When a demon god takes human form, it possesses formidable strength, enabling it to roam the chaos and engage in battles.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Jiu Youming couldn't help but ask.

Li Changsheng frowned and said, "This humble Daoist only thought of chaos. Fellow Daoist, do you know about chaos from the ancient era of your lineage?"

"Of course I know. This universe and the endless stars all evolved from chaos."

Jiuyouming said, "The ancient immortals and gods have also roamed the chaos, but only supreme immortals and gods like the Earth Emperor can roam freely in the chaos."

"Indeed, I was wondering if we could use the chaotic energy to nurture it?" Li Changsheng said.

"Fellow Daoist is joking." Jiuyouming chuckled and shook his head, saying, "With our strength, we can't even come into contact with Chaos. Moreover, the Chaos Qi is extremely domineering. Even immortals and gods cannot withstand the erosion of Chaos Qi."

"In ancient times, there were records of a true immortal who dared to try to come into contact with chaos, but was destroyed by the chaotic energy, his body and soul were destroyed, and not even a hair was left behind."

"This chaos is not that chaos."

Li Changsheng laughed and said, "Chaos gave rise to all things, so why can't all things return to chaos? If the Five Elements and Yin and Yang are combined, can chaos be recreated?"

He pondered that if he could recreate the chaos and combine it with the Nine Netherworld's method of creating a sacred embryo, perhaps he could completely change his aptitude problem.

At that time, he will be the Primordial Chaos Embryo!

The combat power of the Chaos Holy Embryo is definitely far greater than that of the Heaven and Earth Holy Embryo.

At that time, his strength will be further enhanced, and he may even surpass the ancient holy embryos of that time.

Nine Netherworld's eyes were filled with surprise, followed by overwhelming joy: "I came to find you, Fellow Daoist, and I was right."

"Does fellow Daoist also think it's feasible?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Ming also does not know how to recreate chaos, but if we study our methods together, and succeed, it will be the Holy Embryo of Chaos."

Jiuyouming said, "Even if we fail, as long as either of us succeeds, we will both receive a huge boost."

"Indeed, but I currently only have the direction of chaos, but I do not know how to transform into chaos."

Li Changsheng sighed and said, "I have already comprehended the Yin-Yang principle to its fullest extent, but I am still lacking in the power of the Five Elements."

Although he possesses the Five Elements Sacred Marks, they were given to him by Sun Chengdao when he was a child.

Compared to the Taiyin and Taiyang and the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Runes, this sacred rune is rudimentary and incomplete.

Only when Sun Chengdao grows up will this sacred rune be considered truly mature.

"The Five Elements Sacred Embryo, if we don't seek it out... there are also single Five Elements Sacred Runes in the world." Jiu Youming said, "The Ming inheritance records the Water and Fire Sacred Runes, but the Metal, Wood, and Earth Sacred Runes still need to be sought out from other forces."

"Will these three sacred runes still exist in this world?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Don't underestimate the power of the major forces. The Daoist sect and the Three Holy Lands definitely have more than one kind of holy rune hidden."

Jiuyouming said, "However, they possess sacred runes, but they do not know their true usage."

"Oh? The real usage?" Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow: "I wonder if you could teach me? I obtained the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Rune of the Dragon Clan, and although I have some understanding of it, my application is still far from perfect."

"Of course it's possible. The truly terrifying aspect of the Sacred Mark lies in the realm of immortals and gods!"

Jiuyouming's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Let me first explain the realm of immortals and gods to you, fellow Daoist."

"Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist." Li Changsheng bowed and sat down cross-legged with Jiu Youming.

Ao Qing, standing to the side, was too shocked to speak.

My brother and Jiu Youming are truly insane; they actually want to recreate the Holy Embryo and evolve Chaos.

Compared to this, I suddenly realized that the fight between Zhenlong and the others was completely inferior.

They are still fighting in the mortal realm, battling to the death, vying for the title of the strongest in the era.

My elder brother and Jiu Youming have already begun to study the Great Dao of Immortals and Gods, their vision extending to countless years into the future.

The difference is too great; they're not even in the same league!

After pondering for a moment, Jiuyouming slowly said, "There are countless Great Daos. Mortal cultivation is merely scratching the surface of the Great Dao. Only by becoming an immortal or god can one come into contact with the true Great Dao."

Li Changsheng wholeheartedly agreed. The Great Dao that pierced through the starry sky contained countless stars, and they were still hopping around within those stars.

Compared to the path to immortality and divinity, their understanding was indeed only superficial.

Jiuyouming continued, "Immortals and gods refer to the Great Dao as the Law. The carefree immortals have merely transcended the mortal realm and entered the level of immortals and gods. They have transformed the Dao they comprehended in the mortal world into a trace of the power of the Law and become tainted with the aura of the Law, but they have not completely transformed."

"At this moment, a carefree immortal can borrow a trace of the power of the laws to possess the power to destroy stars."

Li Changsheng listened quietly, gaining a clear understanding of immortals and gods.

The carefree immortals are already capable of destroying stars and annihilating a world.

However, the carefree immortals are still at the very bottom of the immortal realm, having just begun their journey.

But they reached another realm, the Realm of True Immortals!

The reason why the True Immortal Realm is called the True Immortal Realm is because both the body and the soul are permeated with a rich aura of law.

The aura of immortals and gods within him, that is, the aura of laws, was extremely weak, even weaker than that of a carefree immortal.

True immortals, even with just a single strand of hair, exude a rich aura of law.

At this moment, in the realm of true immortals, every gesture can destroy the heavens and the earth, shatter stars with a fist, and split galaxies with a palm!

After hearing Jiu Youming's account, Li Changsheng understood the terror of a true immortal.

That cataclysmic event, if not for the true immortals' desire to plunder the origins of heaven and earth and continue their development, would probably have destroyed this world entirely!

At this point, Jiu Youming began to explain the relationship between the sacred runes and the laws.

The sacred fetus is born from the heavens and earth, and involves laws.

Sacred runes are the manifestation of laws, and one can draw upon the power of laws through sacred runes.

Li Changsheng thought of the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark and the Taiyin Sun Sacred Mark, which was how he obtained the aura of immortals and gods.

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng asked, "If it's a sacred embryo that hasn't yet achieved immortality, can it trigger the laws?"

"Of course, the Holy Embryo is the darling of heaven and earth, but the power of the laws is too strong. When the Holy Embryo is born, heaven and earth will instinctively close the connection between the Holy Embryo and the laws."

Jiuyouming sighed softly, seemingly thinking of Sun Chengdao, and said with great regret: "Some holy embryos are unclear, and they don't know how to study them. They have treasures, but they don't know how to develop them."

Li Changsheng nodded slightly and asked, "Then, can an ordinary cultivator like myself, who has comprehended the sacred runes, draw upon the power of the laws?"

"That's also possible, but your body is ultimately different from the Holy Embryo. The Holy Embryo is nurtured by heaven and earth, and can be said to be a derivative of heaven and earth, a derivative of the laws."

Jiuyouming sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist, when you receive the power of the laws, you will feel pressure and even find it difficult to bear, but the Holy Embryo can control it freely."

She truly is the darling of heaven and earth!

However, I am a rare treasure, also born of heaven and earth, and no less precious than the Holy Embryo!

Moreover, he had complete control over the aura of laws emanating from his body, and he didn't feel any pressure, let alone find it unbearable.

"If you wish to draw upon the power of the laws, then calm your mind and merge with the sacred runes. A cultivator merges with the Dao, which is the Dao of Heaven and Earth. A sacred embryo can merge with one's own Dao and draw upon the laws."

"In accordance with one's own principles?"

"That's right. The Holy Embryo is a product of the Dao, and its own Holy Runes are the original Dao. If it merges with its own Dao, it can naturally connect with the laws and draw upon their power."

After hearing Jiu Youming's story, Li Changsheng found his direction.

He can merge with the Dao of Longevity, the Dao of the Ancestral Dragon, the Dao of Yin and Yang, and draw upon the power of the laws!

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist. If I can merge with the Dao Ancestor Dragon Saint Rune, perhaps I can access the laws of immortals and gods, and further advance my strength." Li Changsheng bowed and said, "I have already understood the method of the Saint Rune. Fellow Daoist, do you have any guidance on the evolution of chaos?"

"Evolution is chaotic, and Ming has no clue what to do. Once Ming sorts out the water and fire sacred runes, he can try to find the other five elemental sacred runes, which may be useful."

Jiu Youming pondered for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how well have you comprehended the Dao of Yin and Yang?"

"I have comprehended the Taiyin and Taiyang Sacred Runes." This time, Li Changsheng did not hide it.

Jiu Youming stared at him in astonishment, then laughed, "If you, fellow Daoist, were to gather the Five Elements Sacred Runes again, who in this world could be your match?"

"Alas, my cultivation just won't improve," Li Changsheng said with distress. "Fellow Daoist's method for creating a sacred embryo must succeed. I'd like to give it a try."

"Ha, I'm afraid that neither Ming nor fellow Daoist will live to see that time, so the newborn fellow Daoist will have to complete it," said Jiuyou Ming.

"That also counts as me," Li Changsheng said.

newborn?

nonexistent!

You nurtured a newborn remnant soul, while I directly nurtured myself!

Once everything is melted down, if it succeeds, I will be an unprecedented Chaos Holy Embryo, the strongest existence in all of history!

"Lord of the Underworld, the Phoenix has agreed that it will never leave the Underworld without your permission..."
