Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 219 Creation of Life, Shackles of Heaven and Earth

Phoenix had no other choice but to seek refuge with the Nine Netherworld rather than go to the Great Wilderness.

"The Great Wilderness is rich in resources. Ming once explored it and found that countless spiritual herbs grow there."

Jiuyouming said calmly, "Some of them are even ancient medicinal herbs, with extremely potent medicinal properties."

"You've been to the Great Wilderness?" Li Changsheng looked surprised. He thought that Jiu Youming had always been in the Netherworld and hadn't gone anywhere.

"I only wandered around the edge of the Great Wilderness; I couldn't venture into the true depths," said Jiuyouming.

Li Changsheng frowned slightly: "You mean, let Luosha search for spiritual herbs on the border and bring them back?"

"That's good." Jiu Youming nodded and said, "Searching on the edge won't be dangerous."

Li Changsheng nodded and no longer objected.

In this day and age, if you don't go to the Great Wilderness, there's only one way to get a lot of resources.

Go out and rob it!

He Yang Wushang, Zhenlong and the others are fighting over it!

But once they seize it, it means they've joined the fight and can't escape.

Phoenix said heavily, "I had thought about going to the Great Wilderness before, but as soon as I entered, I sensed a terrifying aura, which scared me so much that I dared not go again."

"The Great Wilderness is the real forbidden zone compared to the Wasteland; the dangers it contains are beyond your imagination."

Jiuyouming said quietly, "But similarly, the opportunities hidden within are beyond your imagination."

"Opportunity? You mean those spiritual herbs?" Li Changsheng's heart stirred.

Are you not going to talk about yourself again?

According to the Classic of the Great Wilderness, there is a Tree of Immortality within the Great Wilderness.

In ancient times, during Yang Dingtian's era, there were even carefree immortals who ate the Tree of Immortality and gained immortality.

Unfortunately, they still managed to kill their way out of their mind and end their endless lifespan.

"In the Great Wilderness, I sensed the aura of the Earth Emperor." Jiu Youming glanced at him and said, "There's more than just the Tree of Immortality inside; there should be remnants of ancient immortals and gods."

The aura of the Earth Emperor!

Ancient relics of gods and immortals!

Both Li Changsheng and Phoenix were captivated by these words.

How powerful must the ancient gods and immortals have been?

Based on the previous descriptions of Loose Immortals and True Immortals, Li Changsheng believed that the mere aura of laws could destroy stars.

As for the ancient immortals and gods like Zulong, the first batch of holy embryos in the world, it can be said that they have already reached the end of the laws.

Think boldly: it's possible to destroy an entire star system with a flick of the finger.

"You don't need to think about it anymore. Entering the Dao Integration Realm is a dead end, and the Immortal Ascension Realm is a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Perhaps the Scattered Immortal Realm is worth a try," said Jiu Youming.

Li Changsheng and Phoenix exchanged a glance and both calmed down.

"I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it. If I am not careful, I will be reduced to ashes. I might as well live this life to the fullest." Li Changsheng said.

Phoenix nodded emphatically: "Let's leave this kind of opportunity to Yang Wushang and the others."

"Them? They're far from it." Jiu Youming shook his head slightly. "Let's wait and see. We still have a long lifespan. Perhaps we'll have a chance to see the day the Great Wilderness is opened."

"Based on your description, I think it's very difficult to see," Phoenix sighed. "Unless those carefree immortals are able to intervene."

"In order to deal with the great calamity of heaven and earth, they may try to go to the Great Wilderness," Jiu Youming said calmly.

The Great Wilderness holds great opportunities, but a great calamity is imminent. With no other choice, we can only risk our lives in the Great Wilderness!

Before they could speak, Jiuyouming continued, "Originally, Ming wanted to create life in the Great Wilderness, using the legacy of the Earth Emperor to draw upon the laws of immortals and gods, but unfortunately, he couldn't get in."

"I don't want to think about these things anymore. Getting some spiritual herbs will be enough," Li Changsheng said.

"Yes, right now we're focused on researching new life forms; everything else is irrelevant to us," Phoenix added.

Jiu Youming nodded and placed the Fusang tree and phoenix essence blood into the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool.

The Samsara Realm radiated intense light, stirring up the power of Samsara, and a supreme and transcendent aura of law permeated the air.

A rich aura of laws permeated the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool.

Li Changsheng was so tempted that he wanted to jump in and rebuild himself.

"I trouble you two fellow Daoists to guard this place while Ming and Luosha go to the Great Wilderness to collect resources," said Jiuyouming.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ming, we will notify you immediately if anything unusual happens," Li Changsheng said.

Jiu Youming nodded and disappeared.

Li Changsheng sat cross-legged beside the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool, watching the essence blood of the Sun Bird and the Phoenix nurture.

The next day, Phoenix suddenly said, "Nine Netherworld said before that the Great Wilderness sensed the aura of the Earth Emperor, and that those who had reached the Dao Integration stage or ascended to Immortality couldn't go, but those who were scattered immortals could try. How could she know so much?"

"Isn't your reaction a little slow?" Li Changsheng looked intently at Phoenix. "Are you only realizing this important point now?"

No wonder you were beaten so badly that you had nowhere to run and had to flee into the underworld.

Phoenix looked somewhat embarrassed: "I was so shocked by the aura of the Earth Emperor that I didn't have the mind to pay attention to anything else."

"I cannot fathom the strength of the Nine Netherworlds," Li Changsheng said calmly. "Their exact realm is not important to us, since they are not our enemies."

Li Changsheng didn't reveal just how strong Jiu Youming was, but he was able to sense Qing Tian's presence.

Although one reason for this is that the Nine Netherworlds merged with the Netherworld, it also proves the power of the Nine Netherworlds.

Li Changsheng didn't speculate much; arranging for her to reach the Dao Integration Realm was probably not an exaggeration.

It couldn't possibly be a Loose Immortal realm cultivator. They were sealed away back then; you can't seal away an immortal.

Moreover, once one achieves immortality, the commotion of the immortal tribulation will inevitably be immense, and the Netherworld probably cannot conceal it.

Furthermore, the carefree immortal could give it a try. Since it relates to the Earth Emperor, if he has the strength, the Nine Netherworld would definitely give it a shot.

Upon hearing his words, Phoenix nodded and said, "That's true. The stronger the Nine Netherworld is, the safer we are."

He's now a member of the Netherworld, on the same boat as the Nine Netherworlds.

Li Changsheng didn't say much, and peacefully guarded the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool.

As the days passed, six months later, a Rakshasa arrived, bringing many medicinal herbs.

Li Changsheng and Phoenix refined the elixir, channeled spiritual energy, and sealed it within the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool.

With the help of spiritual medicine and spiritual energy, the essence and blood are changing, frantically absorbing the power of the spiritual medicine and spiritual energy.

His Fusang tree was also absorbing spiritual energy and medicinal power, growing slowly.

If he weren't worried about problems, he would have put the laurel tree in as well.

"Everything is stable. Hopefully, there won't be any further problems. We can just wait patiently," Li Changsheng said.

"It won't take too long. My essence and my Dao patterns should yield results in a few hundred years," the phoenix said.

Li Changsheng pondered, "Several hundred years is still a bit long. Why don't we create a few ordinary beings first and see?"

"This...we'll have to ask the Lord of the Underworld," Phoenix said.

Li Changsheng nodded and sent a message to Jiu Youming.

Jiuyouming naturally agreed that if it were an ordinary living being, it wouldn't require too many spiritual herbs and spiritual energy, and it wouldn't be long before it produced results.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng immediately went out and asked Luo Sha to bring some essence blood.

It doesn't require harming lives, just taking some essence and blood from demons, monsters, and mortals.

Not too strong, and won't cause any trouble.

However, this matter needs to be carried out in secret, and no one can be aware of it or track it down to the underworld.

Rakshasa accepted the order and went to find some weak people to attack.

Within a month, Rakshasa brought him the essence blood he needed.

Li Changsheng and Phoenix worked together to refine a new embryo using these essences and blood.

The phoenix did not understand the Dao of these ordinary creatures, but Li Changsheng, through his understanding of heaven and earth, clearly grasped it and passed some of it on to him.

The two joined forces and, in just ten years, created thirteen embryos, which were then placed in the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool.

The new embryo absorbs spiritual medicine and spiritual power much faster than the embryo itself, and even the power absorbed by the nurturing of heaven and earth is much less.

After all, they are ordinary species, so they don't need too many.

Li Changsheng and Phoenix watched the embryo grow peacefully, while the killing in the outside world resumed.

Wu Tian and the others improved rapidly in dire circumstances.

Although Yang Wushang was powerful, he was chased like a dog by a group of Five Qi Converging Yuan cultivators who were quite strong.

Even the true dragon experienced a leap in strength when facing dire circumstances.

The underworld is serene, while the outside world is chaotic.

Fifty years have passed, and the thirteen embryos that Li Changsheng placed have fully taken on their corresponding shapes. However, their auras are somewhat off, as if they do not belong to this world and have become detached from it.

Moreover, the embryos' talent has surpassed that of their original bodies, making them geniuses!

The embryo takes shape, absorbs life force, yet also dissipates it.

"Hmm?" Li Changsheng frowned. "No, we've overlooked something: the loss of life force."

Phoenix also saw this and said solemnly, "Even if it develops intelligence and becomes a new life, it will be impossible for it to leave the Regeneration Pool."

Once the embryo leaves the regeneration pool, it will inevitably lose its vitality and turn into a corpse.

Moreover, the loss of vitality is severe.

It's nothing yet; the embryo has already accumulated a lot of vitality before it even begins to develop.

However, over time, the accumulated vitality will be completely lost, and it will turn into a stillborn fetus.

"Life force is fading too quickly. Even if we don't leave the regeneration pool, we'll turn into corpses in no time," Li Changsheng said solemnly. "We must find a way to slow down the loss of life force."

"Hmm, we can't completely block the loss of life force, but we can probably slow it down," Phoenix pondered.

In this day and age, immortality no longer exists.

If one can lock in life force and prevent it from being lost, that can also be considered a form of immortality.

What they want is for the passage of time to be slowed down, thereby extending the lifespan of new life.

"Call Jiu Youming back first," Li Changsheng said. This was something they had been researching together, and if anything went wrong, Jiu Youming should also be aware of it.

If everything is done by him and Phoenix, then Nine Netherworld is excluded.

In a short while, Jiu Youming had returned to the Netherworld and arrived in front of the Regeneration Pool.

Looking at the embryos in the regeneration pool, Jiu Youming's gaze narrowed slightly: "It seems our task is quite arduous."

"Slowing down the loss of life shouldn't be difficult; it's just a few ordinary embryos," the phoenix said.

Jiuyouming said, "But what we need to study is not an ordinary embryo, but the Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth!"

If even a normal embryo can be lost so severely, imagine how terrifying it would be if it were a sacred fetus.

"If a problem arises, solve it. Fellow Daoist Ming, do you have a way to delay this chance of survival?" Li Changsheng asked.

Jiuyouming pondered for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you aware of the shackles of Heaven and Earth?"

"Of course I know. For us cultivators to become immortals, we must sever the shackles of heaven and earth and transcend this world," Li Changsheng said.

The phoenix pondered, "Is this related to the shackles of heaven and earth?"

"Yes, Ming only thought about letting heaven and earth nurture the embryo, ignoring the constraints of heaven and earth."

Jiuyouming nodded slightly: "The constraints of heaven and earth are shackles, but also the connection between living beings and heaven and earth."

Li Changsheng understood: "Using the shackles of heaven and earth to delay life?"

"Indeed, the shackles of heaven and earth connect living beings with heaven and earth, aligning them with the Dao of this world."

Jiuyouming said, "Only by becoming a part of heaven and earth can one achieve this. If one is not bound by the shackles of heaven and earth and is born to transcend this world, one will naturally not receive the protection of heaven and earth."

Li Changsheng nodded slightly: "These embryos were conceived by the laws of immortals and gods and the ways of the mortal world. They lacked strength, yet they tried to break free from the mortal world, and thus naturally perished."

Jiuyouming sat down cross-legged and began to draw upon the power of the Dao from the Heaven and Earth Regeneration Pool.

Each line of Dao patterns transformed into an invisible chain, disappearing into the embryo's body.

As the invisible chains merged into it, the loss of life indeed slowed down, and the embryo's aura became no different from that of ordinary living beings.

The shackles of heaven and earth suppressed the flow of life force within the body.

When the last shackle fell, the rate at which life was fading had slowed to half.

However, these embryos were filled with a dense aura of the netherworld, and their bodies began to transform into the netherworld, becoming ethereal and faint.

Jiuyouming stopped: "It's your turn, fellow Daoist."

Li Changsheng nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist, by using the Netherworld Dao to suppress them, and then combining it with my Human Dao, we should be able to make them no different from ordinary people."

Li Changsheng condensed the Dao patterns of the mortal realm, guided the Dao of the mortal realm, and suppressed the life loss of the embryo.

With each additional constraint imposed, the rate at which life force slowed down decreased once more.

Its body is also solidifying, transforming into a normal living being, with flesh and blood.

As time passes, half of the shackles of humanity fall away, and the rate at which life fades becomes no different from that of ordinary people.

As a result, the natural talent of these embryos diminishes, making it difficult for them to even embark on cultivation.

"The shackles of heaven and earth restrict talent. If they are further imposed, none of these embryos will be able to embark on cultivation," Li Changsheng said.

"You will then nurture embryos at different levels, discovering what kind of talents they possess and imposing as many constraints as possible," said Jiu Youming.

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "There is another problem, which is the constraint of the Earthly Realm and the constraint of the Human Realm."

Jiuyouming pondered for a moment and said, "Are you saying that those who are bound by the underground passage belong to the Netherworld?"

"Not bad." Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Just now, the shackles were applied, the shackles of the underground passage were integrated, and the embryo transformed into the Netherworld. The shackles of the human world were applied, and it transformed into a living being of the human world."

Jiu Youming frowned for a moment, then pointed a finger and transmitted the entire Dao of the Netherworld to Li Changsheng: "I trouble you, fellow Daoist, to find suitable shackles to maintain the balance between the Underworld and the Human World."

"I will do my best." Li Changsheng began to comprehend the Dao of the Netherworld.

Nine Netherworld also sent a copy to Phoenix, so that he could also study it.

Jiuyouming left; he still needed to go to the Great Wilderness to find enough spiritual herbs.

Li Changsheng and Phoenix studied and discussed the matter while Luo Sha prepared new essence blood.

"Fortunately, we tried these ordinary embryos first; otherwise, once the Sun Bird and my essence and blood were conceived, it would probably be a freak," the phoenix said.
