Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 253 The Arrival of the Lesser Immortal Realm, Li Changsheng's Resurrection

The Heavenly Army entered the Path to Immortality and never returned.

For reasons unknown, the Heavenly Court sealed off the scriptures concerning the path to immortality.

The era of the Sun Emperor has passed, and a new Emperor has ascended the throne.

Instead of expanding their territory, they stabilized the internal situation and appointed celestial officials and deities to the heavens.

Immortals also began to enjoy themselves, and the Buddhist, Taoist, and demonic sects once again clashed.

Everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before, except that they were now fighting in even more worlds.

As the Heavenly Emperors changed, the power of those born to the Heavenly Emperors began to favor one another.

Taoism and Buddhism each control certain worlds, establishing the Taoist realm and the Buddhist realm, respectively.

The demonic path and the demon race also occupied the stars, establishing the demon realm and the demon realm.

  

They each developed their own worlds, gradually forgetting about the Xuanhuang Realm.

Of course, it's not true forgetting, but rather a lack of focus.

The Xuanhuang Realm is also declining, having lost the support from other worlds, and has instead become a supplement to those worlds.

The once minor celestial realm has become the strongest world.

As the Heavenly Court developed and occupied many worlds, celestial beings gradually emerged.

After achieving the status of celestial immortals, the Heavenly Court once again expanded outwards.

At this time, the Heavenly Emperor could no longer control all the immortals, and both Buddhism and Taoism broke free from his control.

They were all born as celestial beings, and possessed extremely powerful abilities.

Venture deeper into the starry sky and explore the nearby stars.

The various factions suffered countless deaths and injuries in their struggle for the Life Star.

The Heavenly Emperor also tried to dissuade them, but to no avail.

After some time, a wandering immortal appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm and joined the Heavenly Court.

This wandering immortal cultivated extremely quickly, achieving the status of a true immortal in just eight thousand years.

Even after achieving true immortality, this rapid advancement did not stop, and he even achieved celestial immortality in just three thousand years.

This celestial being also occupied the stars and created a world called the Realm of Immortality.

Only then did all the immortals turn their attention back to the Xuanhuang Realm.

The celestial being from the Realm of Immortality also frequently returned to the Realm of Profound Yellow to preach, and claimed that he had received the inheritance of the Ancestor of Immortality.

In an instant, all the immortals were alarmed and curious about who the Ancestor of Immortality was.

That celestial being did not hide anything; the Ancestor of Longevity was the mentor of the Sun Emperor.

The immortals were shocked. When the Sun Emperor appeared out of nowhere and solved the problem of the immortal kingdom, he went on the path to immortality. They never expected that he would have a mentor.

Some of the immortals who knew the truth inquired whether the Ancestor of Immortality was still alive.

Many people scoffed, saying that even a celestial being, with all the elixirs of longevity, could not possibly have lived this long.

But this celestial being confidently told them that the Ancestor of Immortality was still alive and would descend upon the world at some point in the future.

The immortals were startled and quickly asked, "Where is the Ancestor of Immortality?"

"I don't know." The celestial being shook his head and said, "I inherited the Dao Heart Seed Magic Gate from the Longevity Dao Ancestor, which is why I was able to become a celestial being so quickly."

If one's heart is filled with demonic tendencies, one can help others cultivate!

He wouldn't go into details that day, because if he did, it would cause panic among all the immortals, and then a struggle would ensue.

Who wouldn't want such a method?

Who would want to become a host for the demon seed?

"From now on, my lineage will be known as the Celestial Venerable of Longevity for generations to come," the Celestial Venerable said again.

"Do you know if the Sun Emperor is still alive?" the current emperor asked.

"I don't know. After the Sun Emperor embarked on the path to immortality, he could no longer be sensed."

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality shook his head and said, "After some time, I too will embark on the path to immortality, following in the footsteps of the Sun Emperor."

"The Heavenly Court did have records of the information about the path to immortality."

The current Heavenly Emperor said, "Unfortunately, we only have a direction; there are no clues about what the path to immortality is or where it leads."

"I will search until I find the Sun Emperor," said the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.

"When you embark on the path to immortality, I will see you off," said the current Heavenly Emperor.

"I, a celestial being of the Daoist sect, wish to communicate with you, fellow Daoist," said the celestial being of the Daoist sect.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity nodded: "Alright, when your lifespan is nearing its end, you can take a gamble. If you happen to find a longevity elixir, you can survive."

Even celestial beings have an end to their lifespan. Rather than waiting to die, they might as well go and see the path to immortality.

The other immortals nodded in agreement.

After some time, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity led the celestial beings, whose lifespans were nearing their end, on their journey to immortality.

The Heavenly Emperor waited in the Heavenly Court, but the result was the same: he never returned and there was no further news.

Time flies, and this generation of Heavenly Emperor abdicated ahead of schedule. He led some immortals to the path to immortality.

The new Heavenly Emperor held no hope, because too many celestial beings had not returned.

Until two or three years ago, an immortal descended and slaughtered an entire world.

The Heavenly Court was furious and launched an attack, suppressing two immortals. From them, it was learned that they came from the Path to Immortality.

At the end of the path to immortality lies the ancient immortal realm, where powerful immortals reside and elixirs can extend lifespan by ten thousand years.

When asked if they had seen any news of the Sun Emperor, the two immortals were disappointed by the answer.

They didn't know anything about the Sun Emperor, but they did know about the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, who died on his path to immortality.

Upon hearing this news, the celestial beings of Heaven were deeply saddened.

Although it was expected, hearing this news is still regrettable.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity can achieve the status of a Celestial Immortal in the shortest time!

There was no time for them to grieve, because more immortals had descended and immortal kingdoms had appeared.

The Heavenly Court's strength was such that it could barely protect itself against these immortal kingdoms, but it wasn't considered very strong.

Faced with external threats, the Buddhist, Taoist, demon, and evil factions united and joined forces with the Heavenly Court to protect themselves.

The other celestial kingdoms also tested the waters, but found that the price to pay for taking down the Heavenly Court was too high, so they gave up the idea of ​​taking direct action.

Some small immortal kingdoms also began to unite with them.

The Heavenly Court gradually ascertained the strength of these immortal kingdoms. There were many celestial immortals, but none who surpassed them.

Unless there is an existence surpassing the Celestial Immortal, they cannot be easily destroyed.

A brief period of peace has also arrived in the starry sky. Although there are frictions between the immortal kingdoms, they are all minor conflicts.

These celestial kingdoms, on the other hand, continuously send immortals onto the path to immortality.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Heavenly Court also sent people to try and unveil the mystery of the path to immortality.

However, none of the immortals who entered the path to immortality ever came out again.

However, occasionally a few unfamiliar immortals would appear on the path to immortality, and they would be suppressed and killed by them.

In the end, the Heavenly Court stopped sending immortals unless they were nearing the end of their lifespan and volunteered to go.

However, some immortal kingdoms are still persisting.

The starry sky returned to a brief period of calm until, 20,000 years later, a celestial being nearing the end of his life returned to the Heavenly Court.

His lifespan was extended, and his cultivation level reached the late stage of Celestial Immortal.

His deeds caused a stir among the surrounding immortal kingdoms, who all sent people to inquire about him.

According to this celestial being, the path to immortality is rich in resources, but also filled with more bloodshed.

There was a chaotic divine bird that had slain countless immortals, as well as some ancient beings that slaughtered the immortals who were vying for power.

For a time, the Heavenly Court and the various celestial kingdoms were in shock.

The Chaos Divine Bird, was it originally Yang Wushang, the Sun Emperor?!

Those ancient beings were all celestial beings from other immortal kingdoms who had entered them.

According to the celestial being, they had already surpassed the celestial beings, and killing a celestial being was as easy as slaughtering a dog.

This is why no immortals have returned in the past.

They were all killed. He was only able to survive because he was hiding on the edge of the path to immortality and accidentally found the elixir of immortality.

Moreover, the path to immortality will also change; unless they open it, the immortals inside will not be able to come out.

As for their desire to enter the path to immortality, it will be even more difficult.

It can only be opened once every three thousand years because the immortals inside want to block the path to immortality and prevent them from competing for resources.

Upon hearing these words, the celestial beings of the immortal kingdoms could no longer remain seated.

I don't need the best resources, just enough to extend my lifespan by a few thousand years.

Immediately, immortals were dispatched to the path to immortality, and the Heavenly Court also sent immortals there.

This time, immortals returned, bringing back elixirs of longevity.

In an instant, all the immortal kingdoms were in an uproar, seeing hope for living longer.

For some unknown reason, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly ordered the destruction of the Realm of Immortality and the extermination of the lineage of the Immortal Venerable.

A massacre ensued, resulting in countless deaths in the Realm of Immortality. Only a few inheritors of the Immortal Venerables from the Realm of Profound Yellow survived.

They quickly changed their identities and went into hiding.

Five thousand years later, a wandering immortal entered the Heavenly Court.

This wandering immortal also began to travel to other immortal kingdoms, and after 15,000 years, he became a celestial immortal.

After achieving the status of a Celestial Immortal, this immortal, known as the Eternal Celestial Venerable, revealed a shocking secret: all the immortals in the Heavenly Court and the other immortal kingdoms had been possessed by others!

They were no longer the immortals they once were; beneath their bodies were immortals of unknown origin, known as evil immortals.

They feed on immortals, devouring them, having escaped from the path to immortality.

Once this news broke, many celestial kingdoms began to hunt him down, but this celestial being had already fled far away and his whereabouts were unknown.

This immortal being also left behind the weakness of the evil immortal.

For a time, the Heavenly Court and all the major celestial kingdoms were conducting self-examinations.

As the Celestial Immortal of Immortality had predicted, the Evil Immortal had already infiltrated various immortal kingdoms and seized immense power.

The evil immortals were all exposed and quickly gathered together, forming the Kingdom of Evil Immortals.

The Heavenly Court, in alliance with various celestial kingdoms, launched a siege against the Evil Immortal Kingdom.

At this time, an immortal discovered the cultivation method of the Longevity Celestial Immortal lineage, which involves planting a demon in one's Dao heart!

One can plant demonic seeds in another person to help them cultivate.

That's why the evil immortal was discovered, and that's also why the reason for destroying the Immortal Realm in the first place was to avoid being discovered!

This war between the immortal kingdoms resulted in the deaths and injuries of countless immortals.

Unfortunately, the whereabouts of that immortal celestial being are unknown; otherwise, they might have been able to know the true situation within the path to immortality.

Nowadays, they can only find people to cultivate the Dao Heart and plant the demonic seed while suppressing the evil immortals in order to obtain their memories.

The evil immortal was very powerful, and in this battle, some small immortal kingdoms were destroyed.

The Heavenly Court and the other celestial kingdoms also suffered heavy losses, with more than half of the celestial immortals killed or wounded.

The major immortal kingdoms hurriedly gathered the remaining immortals from the other smaller immortal kingdoms to make up for their own casualties.

Three thousand years later, they finally learned the origin of the evil immortal.

They came from the celestial realm and invaded the starry sky!

Back then, the Sun Emperor Yang Wushang was indeed on the path to immortality. He led the immortals to block the arrival of the evil immortal!

The arrival of so many evil immortals proves one thing: the Sun Emperor may have met with misfortune!

There are indeed resources for extending lifespan on the path to immortality, but most of them are controlled by evil immortals, and ordinary immortals cannot obtain them at all.

Upon learning this news, the various immortal kingdoms united and agreed that all those who emerged from the path to immortality would be tested to see if they were wicked immortals.

And the immortals who were nearing the end of their lifespans were also sent to the path to immortality to block the evil immortals.

As for the path to immortality, which opens only once every three thousand years, it has nothing to do with the evil immortal. Rather, it is a magic array set up by the immortals inside who are trying to block the evil immortal, intending to seal him away.

Unfortunately, the evil immortals are very powerful, and each time they seal them, they can only maintain the seal for three thousand years.

Time flies, and three thousand years have passed. Near the Path to Immortality, a terrifying power suddenly erupted.

A vast world appeared, with endless immortal energy thickening into mist, and countless immortal herbs growing there.

A golden monkey exuded a terrifying aura: "This is the Lesser Immortal Realm, created by the Five Great Sages by gathering the power of all immortals. It contains a path that surpasses even that of Heavenly Immortals."

In an instant, all the immortal kingdoms entered the Lesser Immortal Realm, and celestial immortals sought immortal medicines to improve their abilities.

They were all trying to find out who the Five Great Sages were.

Unfortunately, it's been too long, and they couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.

Within the Lesser Immortal Realm, although there are records about the Five Great Sages, they are only simple information without any specific origins.

All that is known is that the leader is the Great Sage of Heaven, Niu Wendao; the Great Sage of the Sea, Ao Xuan; the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Chengdao; the Great Sage of No Heaven, Wutian; and the Great Sage of the Sun, Yang Dingtian.

Some speculate that the Sun God might be related to the Sun Emperor, but there is no evidence to support this claim.

The immortals used the help of the Lesser Immortal Realm to improve themselves, and they guarded the path to immortality with utmost care.

Planting demonic seeds in one's heart has become an essential method for every immortal to learn.

However, it is strictly forbidden to use this technique on other immortals; it can only be used on immortals who have emerged from the path to immortality.

The starry sky returned to peace, and the Xuanhuang Realm was also relatively calm.

Of course, the major powers still fought each other, and many were willing to fight tooth and nail for incense offerings.

The Land of Return to Nothingness is permeated with primordial chaos and boundless Daoist principles converge.

As time passed, the chaotic energy grew stronger and stronger. A willow branch appeared and disappeared, its aura distorting the void and causing the surrounding seawater to twist and vanish.

Time is immeasurable, and years pass without a trace.

Deep in the East China Sea, a dragon drifts with the waves.

Suddenly, the dragon's eyes lit up, and it pulled a jade pendant from the seawater.

The jade pendant emanated a hazy, chaotic aura, and a message flooded into the dragon's mind: "The Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture? The Dao Ancestor of Immortality?"

The dragon quickly departed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a cultivator was practicing in seclusion in the Dao, from which a chaotic jade pendant flew out.

"The Chaos Five Elements Dao Scripture?" The cultivator was astonished, never expecting such a great opportunity to fall from the sky.

Not only him and the dragon, but also different cultivation techniques appeared on the other islands.

And all of these jade pendants mention the Ancestor of Longevity!

In a short time, more cultivators entered the East Sea in search of treasures, and even some dragons came.

Bloodshed erupted in the East China Sea as people fought fiercely for the sake of inheritance.

Those cultivators who had already received the inheritance were already focusing on their cultivation.

Another period of time passed. Of the cultivators who received the inheritance, some became immortals, some died of old age, some entered the Heavenly Court, and some ascended to the Lesser Immortal Realm.

On this day, the void of Guixu returned to calm, and a figure silently left Guixu and arrived at the Eastern Continent.
