A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiu couldn't help but glance at the desolate ancient forbidden area.

Wait for me! My little darling! I'm here to live off you!

.......

"Call me your ancestor? It's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."

"However, you do have a good heart."

The Great Accomplished Holy Body looked at Lin Xiu with increasing satisfaction.

Now that the lineage of the Holy Sacrament is waning, it is his inescapable responsibility to pass on the Holy Sacrament to future generations.

Previously, he only offered the Holy Body Secret Realm Reconstruction Method and the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, fearing it would hinder Lin Xiu's path. However, since Lin Xiu was able to forge his own path at a low level, he was naturally willing to lend Lin Xiu a helping hand.

However, the next second, Lin Xiu made him freeze in shock.

"By the way, Ancestor, where is your Imperial Artifact?"

"As your successor, I must retrieve the ancestral artifact to suppress the lineage of the Holy Body."

Great Accomplished Sacred Body: "......."

Good heavens, so that's why Lin Xiu called him patriarch! He was wondering why Lin Xiu called him patriarch. So that's what was waiting for him here!

Return the imperial artifacts?

This junior is really giving him too much credit; he's never been an emperor.

Although the feeling was somewhat subtle, the Great Perfection Holy Body did not intend to reject Lin Xiu.

The reason was simple: the young man in front of him was extremely poor.

He could sense that the young man in front of him not only had no protectors, but also no protective artifacts. In fact, before meeting him, he didn't even have a complete Imperial Scripture.

Even so, the young man in front of us still forged his own path.

What does it mean to be poor but steadfast? This is it!

It's normal to have desires for material possessions when you're so poor.

"Very well, since I am about to depart, I will use my weapon to protect you on your journey."

"The flag is coming!"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body opened and closed its eyes, and a wisp of divine thought pierced through the endless sea of ​​stars, reaching the edge of the universe.

Boom!

A desolate and cold star field suddenly boiled over. A huge rift opened in the void, and a tattered golden battle banner, carrying fragments of broken stars and chaotic energy, tore through space and arrived in an instant.

The battle flag fluttered, its broken flagpole jagged, with only the upper half connected to the tattered flag. Though it no longer possessed the imperial might that once dominated the galaxy, the murderous aura of conquering all realms and drinking the blood of the supreme beings still surged, causing the void to hum and the great Dao of Heaven and Earth to groan in sorrow.

"Throughout my life of battles, both friends and lovers have all left me."

"This golden battle flag is what stayed with me until the end."

Holding the battle flag, the Great Accomplished Holy Body was filled with emotion.

"War... war flag?"

Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow. Why did he feel that the flagpole of this battle flag was not long enough?

It's less of a battle flag and more of a battle banner?

“That’s right, the battle flag.” The Great Accomplished Holy Body nodded.

"This flag is my signature weapon, crafted from the trunk of the immortal elixir 'Sacred Soul Tree' as the flagpole and the fibers of the divine medicine as the flag surface."

"When I left, the golden banner was still intact."

"But now... it has been broken in a dark upheaval and has become this broken state." The Great Accomplished Holy Body did not feel regret, but rather a sense of relief.

Because his descendants, at the cost of their lives and golden battle banners, quelled a dark upheaval.

"The Sacred Soul Tree? There's actually such an immortal elixir."

Lin Xiu had never heard of the Sacred Soul Tree. However, given the vastness of the Shrouding the Heavens universe, it was normal for there to be some immortal medicines whose names he didn't know.

........

"Now that I have returned, I will naturally repair the instrument of enlightenment."

"Come!"

With a wave of his hand, the Great Accomplished Holy Body's gaze pierced through the void, looking directly into the depths of the desolate ancient forbidden land.

He spread his five fingers wide, ignoring the terrifying field that made even sages tremble, and went straight into the top of the nine sacred mountains!

hum!

Nine branches, flowing with nine-colored light and containing endless life essence, were forcibly peeled off from the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine. The Dao runes on the branches flickered as if they were about to resist, but were instantly suppressed by the golden Dao patterns flowing from the fingertips of the Great Accomplished Saint Body.

The nine branches of the divine tree floated and sank in the golden blood energy, forcibly shaped, and fused together with the broken flagpole remnants, radiating a divine light more dazzling than the sun, and a new, majestic pressure swept across the eight wastelands.

With the help of the branch of the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine, the Great Accomplished Holy Body reforged its tattered battle flag!

......

Lin Xiu watched the entire refining process with bated breath.

As expected of the Great Perfection Holy Body, it actually dared to directly attack the elixir of immortality in the forbidden zone, and even tried to pluck the branches.

The Great Accomplished Sacred Body noticed Lin Xiu's surprise and smiled knowingly:

"Don't worry, I already consulted the Great Perfection Holy Body in the forbidden zone before taking action."

"This great saintly body of later generations is truly blessed. With the help of an unparalleled empress, it has survived to this day and witnessed the path to immortality."

"Alright, take it~ Although it can't compare to a true imperial weapon, it's still far superior to ordinary quasi-imperial weapons."

After explaining, the Great Accomplished Holy Body smiled and threw the golden battle flag at Lin Xiu.

Upon acquiring the golden battle flag, Lin Xiu felt a warm and abundant life essence flow into his body through his palm, nourishing his soul.

At the broken flagpole, newly sprouted branches of the Nine Wonders branch flowed with green light, resonating with the Qi and blood in Lin Xiu's body, instantly clearing up some minor blockages on his cultivation path, making him feel completely comfortable, as if bathed in immortal light.

After placing the golden battle flag into his Sea of ​​Wheels, Lin Xiu looked toward the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

"Senior, you are mistaken."

The Great Accomplished Holy Body raised an eyebrow. What had he just heard?

Lin Xiu said he was wrong? What did he do wrong?

"The Great Accomplished Holy Body that can witness the opening of the path to immortality is not limited to the one in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land!" Lin Xiu said with certainty.

"You mean there are other living Great Accomplished Saint Bodies in this world?"

"No, what I mean is... senior... you can also witness the path to immortality!"

With a thought, a simple and ancient "soul" character slowly emerged from the depths of the Sendai and hung above his head.

The talisman was no bigger than the palm of one's hand, yet it seemed to bear the weight of countless reincarnations, flowing with an aura that transcended the river of time. Its surface was shrouded in chaotic mist, while within it, the phantom of a celestial realm seemed to float and sink.

"Senior, this ancient talisman can protect all spirits and true souls."

"If you, senior, are willing to enter and protect a trace of true spirit, you will surely be able to witness the path to immortality with your own eyes."

"Even... it's not impossible to leave it for the future and use this wisp of true spirit to revive!"

Chapter 19 Standing and Begging, After Eating One, You Crave Another (First Update)

In the original novel, after Ye Fan became the Heavenly Emperor, he revived his old friends through the method of faith.

Lin Xiu could not guarantee that he would become an Immortal Emperor and possess the ability to reflect the heavens.

However, he was still confident that he could preserve the true spirit of the Great Accomplished Holy Body until Ye Fan became the Heavenly Emperor.

"you........"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body looked at the ancient talisman with the character "Soul" in front of it. The ancient talisman rotated quietly, but the Daoist charm it emitted made the Great Accomplished Holy Body's holy body tremble slightly, and its eyes shot out terrifying divine light.

This supreme being, who once suppressed forbidden zones and fought against the dark chaos, now finds himself unable to discern even the slightest trace of the ancient rune's origin!

The ancient talisman of the character "soul" seemed so close, yet it also felt as if it were separated by endless dimensions of time and space. It contained many profound truths of the Great Dao that were beyond his comprehension, causing him to feel waves of unease.

This stirring from the depths of his soul shook his heart, which had been silent for millennia.

So that's why his Sendai (spirit platform) isn't manifest. Indeed, if he possesses the secrets of immortality, perhaps he truly could...

The Great Accomplished Holy Body gave Lin Xiu a deep look and confirmed it again.

"Can one be resurrected simply by possessing a sliver of true spirit?"

"Yes, I am absolutely certain of that."

"Through the power of faith, one can bring back the person who lives in the memories of all living beings."

"This is a true resurrection, not the creation of a faith body."

After hearing Lin Xiu use the term "body of faith," the Great Accomplished Holy Body completely believed in Lin Xiu.

He had consulted Buddhist teachings and knew the wonderful uses of the body of faith.

At first, the Great Accomplished Holy Body thought Lin Xiu wanted to create a body of faith for him, but now it seems... Lin Xiu knows many secrets and also knows that the body of faith is not the real person.

In this situation, Lin Xiu still dared to say things like he could be resurrected, which means... he really knows another method of resurrection using the power of faith!

Thinking of this, the Great Accomplished Holy Body asked again:

"Those who have performed great deeds can be resurrected through the power of faith, but... what about those who have not performed great deeds? Can they also be resurrected in this way?"

The Great Accomplished Holy Body was moved.

If even his former comrades and lovers could be brought back to life... then, even if it meant soaring to the heavens and plunging into the depths of hell, he would find that sliver of hope!

"What about others who don't have faith...?"

Lin Xiu pondered for a few seconds.

"Even those without great merit have a way to be resurrected."

"However, I can't guarantee it. So, all I can tell you is one sentence."

"What?"

"As long as you are alive, there is hope."
