Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 336 Half a Future Body

"Hmm? What realization have you had?"

The Heavenly Emperor looked curious: "Could it be that you have foreseen a new future?"

"I don't know, it's just a feeling I have now."

Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "The present is the future of the past, and the past of the future. My thoughts are a bit chaotic right now, and I need to go into seclusion for a while."

"Let's return to Heaven," said the Heavenly Emperor.

"No need, right here. I conceived and successfully nurtured it here back then, which can be considered as nurturing a good future."

Li Changsheng sat down cross-legged and said, "Go back to the Heavenly Court. You don't need to stay here with me."

"I have said that I will always be by your side," said Emperor Tianxin.

Li Changsheng said no more and settled down to meditate and cultivate, contemplating his future self.

With their past selves in the Heavenly Court, there's no need to worry about any unexpected events.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Court is now sealed off, and with the Space Dao Venerable in charge, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

Li Changsheng entered the River of Time again and looked at the Shangqing Daoist sitting downstream.

"Fellow Daoist," Li Changsheng bowed.

The Taoist Shangqing returned the greeting with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, have you come to some enlightenment?"

"I am the past, I am the present, and I feel I am the future," Li Changsheng said.

The Taoist priest Shangqing listened attentively to what he had to say with a smile.

Li Changsheng continued, "But I can't understand why I am merely the future of the past, not the future of the present."

"Then what has your enlightenment been, fellow Daoist?" Shangqing Daoist asked in return.

"Half a future self?" Li Changsheng pondered.

He felt that he had grasped the essence of his future self, but not completely.

His present self is merely the future of the past, and he doesn't know how to comprehend that future.

The Taoist priest Shangqing before them seemed unable to provide an answer.

The Taoist Shangqing smiled slightly and said, "Since you have already comprehended half of it, the remaining half must not be far off."

As the words fell, half of the Shangqing Daoist's body disappeared, leaving only his upper body standing in the river of time.

"It seems that my understanding was correct," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"I am a manifestation of you, fellow Daoist. Any insights you gain will be reflected in this old Daoist."

The Taoist Shangqing calmly replied, "As for right and wrong, how can there be right or wrong on the path of the Great Dao?"

"If it works, it's right; if it doesn't, it's wrong."

Li Changsheng slowly said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. My resolve regarding my future self has only grown stronger."

  

The Taoist priest Shangqing smiled slightly: "Very well."

Li Changsheng left the river of time, and an aura of the future began to emanate from his body.

His cultivation level also began to transform at this moment.

Although the transformation process is slow, it is a real transformation.

That feeling of transcending everything was like being detached from all things in the world.

Li Changsheng emptied his mind, sensing the Heavenly Heart Emperor beside him and the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

All the immortals, the immortals within the Zhou Tian Star Array. The Four Heavenly Emperors, the Western Buddha Wutian, the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan…

Each and every being was clearly presented in his perception.

Even the Space Dao Venerable who had severed two corpses could not detect his presence.

The Heavenly Emperor remained seated, unable to sense any change in him.

Li Changsheng is undergoing a transformation, while the battle continues in the starry sky.

New Dao Venerables are constantly being born, and in the shadows, ancient immortals are also helping those who have attained Dao to advance their Dao Condensation Realm.

They need nourishment from the Dao Venerables, and the current number of Dao Venerables in the starry sky is far from enough to go around.

Each newly promoted Daoist master thought they had encountered a great opportunity.

Meanwhile, those who were originally Dao Venerables were also rapidly improving.

Not improving means death, and improving also means death.

They could only do everything they could to improve their strength, hoping to rival the ancient Daoist master and gain a glimmer of hope.

Although the chance of survival is very slim.

The battle in the starry sky was fierce, but the ancient Daoist masters remained calm and composed.

As the ancient beings like the Ancestor of Humanity went into seclusion, the other ancient Dao Venerables also sensed something unusual.

More than a dozen ancient Daoist masters went into seclusion at the same time, and had previously performed a Dao resonance. It is unknown what they were plotting.

They sent people to inquire, and all they received was news that the Daoist had overexerted himself and was in seclusion to recover.

Wanting to know why the Great Dao resonates, the other party remained tight-lipped.

Some ancient Taoist masters, having endured for so long, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

They secretly targeted the newly promoted Dao Venerables of the ancient Dao Venerables, not to kill them, but to investigate the matter of the resonance of the Great Dao.

Although the newly appointed Daoist Venerable keeps his mouth shut, there is another Daoist Venerable in the world who can peer into the memories of the soul.

Earthly Sovereign Dao Venerable!

The Earthly Emperor Dao Venerable received the message from their divine souls.

The Great Dao resonates, allowing us to glimpse the future, and there's also the method of the evil corpse!

Those Dao Venerables, nominally using the resonance of the Great Dao to retreat and recover, were actually beginning to slay their evil corpses!

One after another, ancient Taoist masters went to the closed Heavenly Court to ask for the method of the evil corpse.

As for asking those ancient Taoist masters for it?

They abandoned this idea immediately!

One by one, the newly promoted Dao Venerables, representing the ancient Dao Venerables behind them, have come to the Heavenly Court once again.

Wu Tian and Ao Yu were still the ones who entertained them. Their strength far surpassed that of these newly promoted Dao Venerables.

After all, the previous transactions involving the Good Corpse Method ensured that the Heavenly Court had no shortage of Daoist corpses, leading to a leap in its strength.

Xu Meng from the Origin Immortal Realm didn't waste any words and directly took out a Dao Venerable's corpse: "Origin Immortal Realm, you want the Evil Corpse Technique."

"We are the same." Upon seeing this, the other newly promoted Dao Venerables also took out the corpses of the Dao Venerables.

Xu Meng from the Origin Immortal Realm stopped pretending and stopped lecturing to stall for time, so they had no choice but to follow along.

They understood Xu Meng; after all, other Dao Venerables had already begun their seclusion to slay evil corpses, while they had not yet obtained the method.

Once those Dao Venerables successfully sever their evil corpses, they will inevitably surpass the Dao Venerables behind them.

Wutian sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then let's leave it to you all. The Heavenly Court hasn't been able to deduce the third corpse yet, so we'll have to find the time."

"We understand," the newly promoted Dao Venerables nodded.

Although exchanging a Daoist Venerable's corpse for a Dharma gate is very expensive, the number of Starry Sky Daoists has now increased, and they can accept this price.

Many newly promoted Dao Venerables left, leaving behind their corpses.

Next, naturally, it will be time for the Heavenly Court to distribute resources.

Space Dao Venerable took two statues without hesitation, and Yang Wushang also took two statues.

Everyone else received one, and the rest belonged to Li Changsheng and the Heavenly Heart Emperor.

Emperor Tianxin obtained the Daoist Venerable's corpse again, and Li Changsheng took one and began refining it.

The Daoist corpse that previously required time to refine was easily refined this time.

He is transforming into a Great Luo Celestial Immortal. Even if he is only half a future incarnation, he has already stepped into the realm of Great Luo Celestial Immortal.

His cultivation level has also transformed to a new level.

Although it did not reach the transcendent power of a Great Immortal, it still possessed some of the characteristics.

An aura of eternity pervades, untouched by time and space, and unshakable by the Great Dao.

This is not the original eternal aura of the Tree of Immortality, but an eternity that transcends everything.

Immortal and indestructible, eternally existing!

He sensed a barrier, mysterious and difficult to break through.

This barrier is not like the solid bottleneck of the past, but rather like an elastic membrane that can accommodate everything and withstand all impacts.

No matter how much he increases his strength, this barrier can contain his power.

The idea of ​​accumulating cultivation, overcoming barriers, and becoming a Great Luo Celestial Immortal is a joke!

This is a barrier that cannot be broken through no matter how much cultivation one accumulates!

He also understood why, after cutting through the past and present, he seemed to have no limits and could contain terrifying energy.

Only by comprehending the future self can one touch this barrier.

Only by severing the complete future body can one break through the barrier and become a Great Immortal!

No matter how much cultivation he and Emperor Tianxin accumulated, they could only be described as being infinitely close to being Great Luo Celestial Immortals!

An aura of eternity permeated the air, and its own power was also permeated with an aura of eternity.

Li Changsheng slowly transformed, no longer needing to refine Dao Venerables.

His cultivation has continued to be sufficient, and he has already begun to transform.

What's missing is simply to sever the complete future form and take the final step.

In the starry sky, the ancient Daoist masters all went into seclusion, all studying the methods of the evil corpse.

As time passed, another five hundred years went by, and only one percent of the power within Li Changsheng's body had changed.

Meanwhile, some of the ancient Daoist masters have already severed the evil corpses.

On this day, the Great Dao trembled in the starry sky, and a stream of light swept across a star field.

The newly promoted Dao Venerable was powerless to resist and was captured by the ancient Dao Venerable.

Faced with the ancient Daoist Master who had severed two corpses, the newly promoted Daoist Master couldn't even escape.

After sweeping twice, the light dissipated, and he stopped making any moves.

The newly promoted Dao Venerables in the starry sky were all plunged into despair.

They wanted to find someone to rely on, but were turned away.

Some were taken down directly, essentially being delivered nutrients to their doorstep.

For the ancient Taoist masters, they didn't lack subordinates, but rather nourishment.

Some newly appointed Daoist masters seek the protection of the Heavenly Court.

As a result, they were greeted by the Space Dao Venerable.

The Space Daoist was quite impolite; he wouldn't refuse such free nourishment.

Moreover, he couldn't possibly protect a newly promoted Dao Venerable; there were simply too many stars in the sky.

Once he takes refuge in one, many newly ascended Daoist masters come seeking refuge.

These are all nourishment prepared by the ancient Taoist masters.

The Space Dao Venerable did not want to become enemies with the other ancient Dao Venerables because of these nutrients.

Li Changsheng cannot find a future and is worried about its demise; everything he does now is for the sake of stability.

Stability is paramount!

In the starry sky, more and more ancient Daoist masters emerged from seclusion to sweep away nourishment.

They were also very restrained, stopping once they had enough, and even if they took more, it was only one or two more statues.

They all understood that this was nourishment for everyone, not something one person could monopolize.

The starry sky gradually grew quiet as the newly promoted Dao Venerables hid in various places.

Some have already entered the chaos and dare not remain in the starry sky any longer.

Even when they entered the Chaos, they were not spared, because within the Chaos, there was also the Time Dao Venerable, a Dao Venerable who desperately sought nourishment but had no other choice.

Now that a Daoist has come to him of his own accord, the Daoist of Time will not let him go.

The newly promoted Dao Venerables were utterly desperate, for they had nowhere to hide.

There are many ancient Dao Venerables in the starry sky, and there is also a Time Dao Venerable in the chaos!

News of the Time Daoist also spread.

"Time, you finally couldn't hold back any longer."

The ancient Daoist masters all turned their gazes toward the chaos.

The Space Dao Venerable also received the news and came to the place where Li Changsheng and the Heavenly Heart Emperor were in seclusion.

"They're planning to make a move against the Time Daoist, so I must go too," said the Space Daoist.

Emperor Tianxin nodded slightly: "I must accompany Changsheng and cannot travel with Daozun."

"It's alright. You protect Fellow Daoist Changsheng well. I will return once I have severed the barrier of time." The Space Daoist smiled and looked at Li Changsheng: "Fellow Daoist Changsheng, has this led to a new understanding?"

His face showed anticipation. Could it be that Li Changsheng was comprehending the Third Corpse Technique?

"I have gained new insights. Perhaps there will be good news when the Daoist Master returns," said Emperor Tianxin.

"Then I must hurry back." The Space Daoist smiled slightly, opened a spatial passage, and left.

If the Three Corpses Method is complete, I wonder what level one can reach.

Although the Space Daoist is already quite satisfied with his current strength, who wouldn't want to be even stronger?

After the Space Dao Venerable left, the Heavenly Heart Emperor sat cross-legged beside Li Changsheng, continuing to watch over him.

Within the chaos, ancient Dao Venerables stepped back into the chaos, their Dao power shaking the chaos.

The Time Dao Venerable also sensed the auras of many Dao Venerables.

The Space Dao Venerable directly opened a spatial passage, leading the Ancestor of Humanity and other ancient Dao Venerables to the location of the Time Corpse.

In the boundless chaos, the benevolent corpse of time remained calm: "You have finally arrived."

"Time, it's time to settle our scores!" the Space Dao Venerable said coldly. "Those who covet my Space Dao, no matter where you are, cannot escape my detection!"

As a fellow Daoist of Space, his mastery of space is far superior to that of the Time-Based Benevolent Corpse.

The Time Corpse sighed softly: "If it weren't for the Heavenly Court's Longevity Dao Ancestor, I wouldn't have attacked you. You are my closest friend."

"Is this how you treat your closest friends?" The Space Daoist sneered.

"Time, enough with the nonsense. You should know our purpose," said the Sun Dao Venerable.

"The Three Corpses Method?" the Time Corpse mocked.

"Not bad." The Ancestor of Humanity said indifferently, "Hand over the complete Three Corpses Technique, and we can give you some face."

Decent?

The Time Corpse coldly stared at them: "You've lived for so many years, and you still believe in the nonsense of the Ancestor of Immortality?"

"Hmm?" The Ancestor of Humanity and other Dao Venerables had icy expressions and their faces revealed a cold light.

"I do not possess the complete Three Corpses Method. This method was created by the Ancestor of Longevity; what does it have to do with me?"

The Time Daoist said angrily, "I have only learned the methods of the Good Corpse Sect so far!"

"The Dao Ancestor of Longevity had long anticipated that you would spout such nonsense."

The Space Daoist said coldly, "Your evil corpse is with your true body, isn't it? They don't know your true body, but I do."

Time Corpse's face was cold and his heart was filled with resentment. He really didn't know!

"Whether you know or not is unimportant." A cold voice rang out, and the Great Dao of the Earthly Emperor manifested: "As long as you open your divine soul and let me see, you will naturally understand."

"Open your divine soul? You really do take me for a newly promoted Dao Venerable?"

The Time Corpse said coldly, "I'll say it again: there is no Three Corpses Method. If you continue to entangle me, then it will be a fight to the death!"

"Everyone, I told you, talking to him is a waste of time," the Space Dao Venerable said coldly.
