Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 247 I Can Live a Very, Very Long Time

"impossible!"

The Buddha of Buddhism spoke in a cold voice.

Most Buddhists rely on the power of incense offerings to attain enlightenment.

Even a Buddha in the Scattered Immortal Realm has been tainted by incense offerings; how could he possibly hand over the Buddhist sect to Wutian?

Once Wutian takes control of Buddhism, their strength will decline significantly without the incense offerings.

It was almost a matter of life and death, how could the Buddha possibly agree to it?

Master Taiyi frowned and said, "Let's stop here. Before the great calamity of heaven and earth, we must not start any more disputes."

"Put aside your fighting and unite to fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth."

The rogue immortal from the Three Heavens Holy Land also spoke up: "Fighting amongst ourselves now will only weaken our strength. When the great calamity comes, we will have no hope."

"hope?"

A cold sneer rang out, and a massive imperial throne rolled in from all directions.

A majestic figure descended upon the Western Buddhist sky, exuding a unique Taoist aura.

It seems that all the principles of the world converge on her; she is like the source of all principles.

"The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor?"

"You've achieved true immortality?"

The immortals present were shocked and their expressions changed drastically as they stared at the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

This aura was so strange that they couldn't figure it out at all.

"No, if one becomes a true immortal, the tribulation lightning won't be able to hide it from us," the rogue immortals said one after another.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor surveyed the entire scene, his gaze cold and sharp, as if looking down upon a group of mortals: "I have not yet become a true immortal, but I am more than enough to deal with you!"

"What do you mean?" Taiyi and the other immortals' expressions changed drastically, staring at the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor in shock and anger: "We nurtured you to become an immortal, and you turn around and turn against us?"

  

"You nurtured me?" Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor scoffed, "Which step of my life wasn't taken by me personally? When have you ever nurtured me?!"

The immortals looked somewhat embarrassed; they simply hadn't managed to kill the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor before he grew up.

Rising from humble beginnings to the Southern Continent, every step was forged by the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor himself.

As for the Tai Xuan Secret Realm within the Great Wilderness?

If it weren't for the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's strength, he could have obtained at most a few Daoist scriptures and immortal medicines from the secret realm!

"Is the Demon Emperor going to war with us old folks today?" Immortal Taiyi said coldly.

"So what if we start a war?" The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's expression was indifferent, making no attempt to hide his disdain and contempt. "After cultivating for so many years, you're still a piece of trash in the Loose Immortal Realm. Do you really think that living a long time makes you stronger?"

"You..." An immortal was furious but could not refute it, as he knew he was no match for the Demon Emperor.

After the Demon Emperor became an immortal, he immediately killed a rogue immortal.

Now that so many years have passed, coupled with the strange Daoist aura emanating from the Demon Emperor, they dare not act rashly.

"Taiyi, you've lived for over seventeen thousand years, haven't you?"

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor suddenly said, "By relying on immortal medicine to prolong life and cling to life, how many years of lifespan do you have left? A rogue immortal of seventeen thousand years, how laughable!"

Taiyi Immortal blushed. Compared to the new generation of immortals like Tianxin Demon Emperor, these veteran immortals were far inferior.

Sun Chengdao looked somewhat reluctant and advised, "Demon Emperor, Ancestor..."

"Chengdao, shut your mouth." The Demon Emperor slightly raised his hand: "I don't want to fight you to the death, but to make you understand that this is my era, and your days of being high and mighty are over!"

"The old era has ended. This era is mine to rule. Everything under heaven belongs to me!"

The immortals opened their mouths, but for a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Taiyi looked at Sun Cheng and said, "So you've completely sided with the Demon Emperor?"

"Master, I have not betrayed the Daoist sect, but I also wish for a more secure rear area," Sun Chengdao said in a deep voice.

"A more secure rear area?" Taiyi frowned. "You don't trust us?"

"The lesson of the Immortal Tree" Wutian said calmly.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said coldly, "I will protect this world, even if it means my own demise. I will not abandon it. But what about you?"

"Of course not," Taiyi said.

"Indeed, we have been working hard to prevent the great calamity of heaven and earth, how could it be as insignificant as you think?" the other immortals chimed in.

The words of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor were a complete insult to them.

The immortal from the Yellow Heaven Holy Land laughed in fury: "We've dedicated half our lives to the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, yet you don't believe us? Or have you developed some other intentions?"

"The Immortal Tree sacrificed itself for the great calamity of heaven and earth," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said coldly. "I do not wish to suffer the same fate as the Immortal Tree, perishing in the process!"

Upon hearing this, the immortals fell silent.

The immortal tree did not die from the great calamity of heaven and earth, but from its own people!

He gave everything to fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth, but was ultimately forced to his death by his own people just when he was about to achieve complete victory.

How ironic!

"You may choose to wage war, whether it's one-on-one or all at once, I will accept it all!"

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said coldly, "I will give you a thousand years to consider. After a thousand years, if you agree to let me control the world and let me control your life and death, then I will fight against the great calamity."

"If you disagree, my empire will not tolerate those who do not submit!"

"Control our life and death?" The immortals' expressions changed drastically, their eyes flashing with cold light.

How could they entrust their lives to the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor?

"You can try and see if you can survive under my hand," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor sneered. "Let's go!"

The five saints exchanged a glance and followed the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor away.

"Taiyi, you devoted yourself to cultivating the Heaven and Earth Sacred Embryo, but in the end, you still couldn't compare to Li Changsheng back then," the Buddhist monk sneered.

The Taoist Taiyi's gaze was gloomy. Without saying a word, his body disappeared.

The other immortals also left one after another.

Within the realm of the Immortal Demon Kingdom.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and the Five Great Saints held a meeting.

"Demon Emperor, I'm afraid they won't agree," Wutian said.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said calmly, "If you disagree, then take action. We are no longer someone they can control."

"Demon Emperor, the Nine Netherworlds have come to visit."

A voice rang out, and the aura of the netherworld surged.

"Why is she here?" The five saints asked, looking puzzled.

Before they could even go to Jiuyouming, Jiuyouming came looking for them first.

"Please." The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor activated the great formation, allowing Nine Netherworld to enter.

Jiuyouming entered the ceremony hall and bowed slightly: "I already know the Demon Emperor's plans, and I would like to ask, is the Demon Emperor truly confident in subduing the other immortals?"

"Not for now," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said frankly. "But things have come to this point, and we have no choice but to do it. I may not be able to subdue them, but I can still kill them."

"If we really fight to the death, wouldn't that just benefit those True Immortals?" Jiu Youming said.

"I protect this world for the sake of immortality, not for their sake."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said coldly, "I will not allow the same thing that happened with the Immortal Tree to happen to me! If things cannot be changed, I will take Changsheng with me and leave this world."

"Has the Demon Emperor considered leaving this world?" Jiu Youming asked, frowning.

"Indeed! What do I care about the birth and death of this world? I have already achieved immortality and transcended this world!"

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor said coldly, "I have many worlds, and I can take the Demon Kingdom with me. As for this world, the only one I cherish is Changsheng."

After a moment of silence, Jiu Youming said, "I am willing to follow the Demon Emperor, and I will allow the Demon Emperor to place a restriction on me."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid I'll harm you?" Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor asked in surprise.

"If the Demon Emperor wanted to kill Ming, he wouldn't need to resort to such scheming." Jiu Youming said calmly, "This is the Great Dao of the Earthly Emperor. Ming can also help the Demon Emperor perfect the world and establish the Netherworld."

"Do you have any requests?" asked the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

"If we successfully withstand the great calamity of heaven and earth, the Demon Emperor will help the Netherworld perfect itself," said Jiuyouming.

"Yes," Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor nodded.

Nine Netherworld released itself, allowing Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor to place the restriction.

Nine Netherworld also passed on the Earthly Sovereign's Great Dao to the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, helping her to perfect the world.

"As for opening up the Netherworld, the Demon Emperor could actually consult Li Changsheng," Jiu Youming said.

"Immortality?" the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor murmured, "Now even I don't know where immortality lies."

Yang Dingtian said, "Demon Emperor, I can use a secret technique to summon my brother if he has already recovered."

"Then I'll have to trouble you," said the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

"Yang Wushang isn't dead?" Jiu Youming asked in surprise.

"Only the soul remains; to restore it is as difficult as ascending to heaven," sighed the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

Jiu Youming nodded. Now that the resources have been almost completely divided up, even if Yang Wushang were to be reborn through possession, it would be difficult for him to cultivate and become an immortal.

Yang Dingtian immediately used a secret technique, his divine soul power fluctuating, to summon Yang Wushang.

Yang Wushang, who was in seclusion, sensed the call, opened his eyes, and called out to Li Changsheng: "Li Changsheng, the heavens are calling me. I wonder what trouble they have encountered."

Li Changsheng opened his eyes and said, "I will send out an avatar to visit the Changsheng Demon Kingdom again."

"Thank you for your trouble." Yang Wushang nodded and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Within the realm of the Immortal Demon Kingdom.

Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and said, "Brother has responded; Master will be coming."

"Good." Wutian's face lit up with joy: "Finally, I can see my master again."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor also said, "This matter is confidential and must not be revealed, to prevent the appearance of that blood-red demon tree."

"We have already shown ourselves. If that blood-red demon tree dares to appear, we will surely kill it!" Sun Chengdao grinned, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

They have now become immortals, standing at the highest peak of the world.

They believed that the blood-red demon tree wouldn't dare to make things difficult for Li Changsheng in front of them.

Niu Wendao and Ao Xuan also looked expectant; they both wanted to see Li Changsheng.

Although Ao Xuan was not raised by Li Changsheng, he had always heard the legends of Li Changsheng.

Time passed, and night fell. A Taoist priest arrived outside the palace of the Longevity Demon Kingdom and released his aura.

The void shifted, and the Taoist priest appeared in the council hall.

"It's been a long time, Changsheng." The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's expression was calm, but his hand couldn't help but tighten his grip on the armrest of the dragon throne.

"It's been a long time, Wuyou." Li Changsheng smiled slightly and looked at the five great saints and the Nine Netherworlds around him: "It's been a long time. It's so good to see you all."

"Master."

"Immortality".

The five saints were excited, and even the usually calm Jiu Youming showed a hint of emotion: "It's been a long time, Taiyi."

"I have become an immortal." The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor raised his head slightly.

Li Changsheng laughed and said, "The ten-thousand-year agreement is not yet ten thousand years."

"Of course I won't wait ten thousand years!" said the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor. "Come back. From now on, this world will be ours. I will resolve the great calamity of heaven and earth, and we will be free from worry for eternity."

"We cannot return." Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "The great calamity of heaven and earth will soon be upon us, and we will face a group of true immortals. If you have not yet become true immortals by the time the calamity arrives, then you should leave."

"Leave? And what about you?" asked the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

"I will also leave. Fellow Daoist Ming once said that Guixu can leave this world," Li Changsheng said.

At this point, Li Changsheng suddenly couldn't bear it and let them go to fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth.

After all, these are all children I raised, and I have some affection for them.

"If you come with me, I will take you to the Ruins of Return right now," said the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "I have other things to do. I have found a way to revive Yang Wushang, and I will also slumber with him to welcome a new life."

"Master, I have sacred embryo patterns here." Sun Chengdao hurriedly said, "I've collected many, including the Five Elements Sacred Patterns, the Profound Heaven Sacred Patterns, and the Jade Heaven Sacred Patterns."

"Thank you." Li Changsheng smiled. "I didn't delay you back then, and you entered the Daoist sect. You have already achieved immortality. It's a pity that I haven't yet figured out the method to achieve immortality."

Sun Chengdao grinned and said, "I will pursue immortality myself, Master. Once I find it, we will live forever together."

"Alright, then we'll live forever together," Li Changsheng said with a satisfied smile.

It's a pity, I'm selfish, I can't take you all to immortality!

"These are the sacred runes of the demon race." The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor also took out the sacred runes she had collected.

There are the Chongming Bird, Bifang, and the Nine-Headed Lion, which are the oldest sacred symbols.

Li Changsheng accepted them all; they would all become nourishment for his rebirth of the Great Dao.

Wutian also handed over the sacred runes of Buddhism to Li Changsheng.

Niu Wendao and Ao Xuan also had some sacred runes, which they all handed over to him.

Yang Dingtian's sacred runes had already been handed over to him.

After accepting the sacred rune, Li Changsheng sighed softly, "Wuyou, if a great calamity comes, call me again. Although I cannot fight alongside you or leave with you, I have some other preparations that will be helpful to you."

"Alright," the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor replied, then continued, "I need your Netherworld Path to perfect the laws of the world."

"It was my oversight. I will now pass on all my knowledge to you." Li Changsheng handed over the world law he had comprehended to Liu Wuyou.

Liu Wuyou also passed on her perfected method to Li Changsheng.

Sun Chengdao and the others had already attained the Great Dao of Unity and the Dao of Chaos. Now, with the additional insights into the sacred runes imparted by Li Changsheng, they are expected to make further progress.

"You may all leave. I will stay alone with the Demon Emperor for a while," Li Changsheng said.

"Yes." The five sages exchanged a glance, then got up and left.

Jiuyouming also left with them.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor finally stood up, stepped down from his throne, and came to his side: "Through the long years, you remain unchanged."

"You've matured; you're now a qualified Demon Emperor," Li Changsheng said with a smile. "Just now, I had some insights that I haven't yet shared. It's about recreating your own method, which you can pass on to Sun Chengdao and the others."

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor accepted the method to recreate himself, his face showing surprise: "You want to transform into a sacred embryo?"

"My talent is too poor, I must reinvent myself," Li Changsheng said.

"Is your lifespan sufficient?" asked the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor.

"That's enough. Over the years, I've been collecting elixirs of longevity. I can live for a very, very long time."

"How long was that?"
