Covering the Heavens: Its fortune endures forever, sweeping across all heavens.

"Battle Immortal!" Lingbao Tianzun declared decisively.

"Battle Immortal!" Qin Tian exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that the path followed by Lingbao Tianzun was actually that of a Battle Immortal.

The name "Battle Immortal" has a long history. During the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor once attempted to become an immortal through battle, but ultimately failed.

In this life, the Fighting Saint Emperor also embarked on this path, but like the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, he failed as well.

Qin Tian never expected that Lingbao Tianzun was also a pioneer on this path.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. The corpses on the Four Swords of Zhuxian are enough to fill several star fields. You can say that Lingbao Tianzun is hard to kill, but you can't say that he's not good at fighting.

One person can cut through the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, annihilating a massive number of Yin spirits; there is absolutely no doubt about his combat power.

The popular belief that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation can slay immortals is not without basis.

Moreover, Lingbao Tianzun didn't actually have many choices. He could become an immortal after nine lifetimes in the mortal world, a conclusion that no one had reached in that era.

In mythology, all beings grope their way forward in the darkness, and the only thing related to the path of immortality is the method of becoming an immortal after death of the Heavenly Venerable of Tribulation.

However, the method of becoming an immortal after death was itself severed by Lingbao Tianzun.

This ascension to immortality threw the world into chaos, turning the mortal realm into the underworld, where humans and ghosts dwelled. This was unacceptable to Lingbao Tianzun, who created the Scripture of Salvation, the most powerful killing sword, which spread throughout the world and was specifically designed to defeat the dead.

The Scripture of Salvation sends souls to the afterlife, while the Immortal-Slaying Sword kills the corpses of the dead; it is impossible for him to embark on this path.

However, the Celestial Venerable Lingbao of the Mortal Realm was unaware that, with each lifetime of transformation, the difficulty of achieving Nirvana and being reborn into a new life gradually increased.

Even though he was a celestial being and had undergone multiple transformations and rebirths, he was not confident that he could survive in this way.

Since there was no end in sight, Lingbao Tianzun set his sights on Zhan Xian.

This is also a method for achieving immortality that has been passed down since ancient times.

"You may not walk this path in the future." Lingbao Tianzun sent out a divine thought, imprinting some knowledge into it, and handed it to Qin Tian.

"But it's good to keep it as a reference."

The figure of Lingbao Tianzun became even more ethereal. After receiving the information, Qin Tian said, "In later generations, some also followed this path!"

"Oh, really!" Lingbao Tianzun's eyes lit up, showing a sense of joy that his path was not lonely.

Qin Tian told him about the Battle Saint Emperor.

"Seek immortality through combat power!"

"If becoming an immortal were that simple, I would have become an immortal long ago!" Lingbao Tianzun said, adding that he had already tried this method and found it to be a dead end.

If it weren't for the ancient tree of life, he would probably have perished long ago.

Lingbao Tianzun continued to share his insights: "The so-called 'war immortal' does not refer to an immortal who can fight, but rather an immortal who can defeat everything."

"It is the existence that transcends all rules and concepts!"

"It is the ultimate life form that overcomes all the weaknesses of a living being!"

Qin Tian's expression was strange. The image of a small golden man inexplicably appeared in his mind. He shook his head, eliminated the image from his mind, and began to seriously consider the origin and essence of the Battle Immortal.

Through Lingbao Tianzun's explanation, Qin Tian, ​​combined with the Battle Immortal Techniques he provided, gradually came to understand what a Battle Immortal was.

The path of the Battle Immortal is fundamentally different from that of the True Immortal and the Mortal Immortal.

The word "war" in "war immortal" is not the most important thing; what matters is the victory that follows the battle.

Whether they are true immortals or mortal immortals, what they pursue is immortality and immortal essence.

True Immortals absorb the essence of immortality from the outside world, while Mortal Immortals cultivate a sufficient amount of immortality essence through multiple transformations, transforming their bodies into an immortal realm.

But in essence, they all use the essence of immortality to achieve immortality.

Only the War Immortal is different; he does not seek immortality or immortal essence, but rather immortality and indestructibility, an immortal soul, an indestructible body, and freedom from the ravages of time.

The body adapts to the years, adapts to death, achieves ultimate life, overcomes factors that can kill life, and conquers all shortcomings that interfere with longevity.

This is what a true War Immortal is like.

True immortals and mortal immortals pursue immortality and exist independently of the passage of time.

The path of the Immortal Warrior is different; it is about conquering death and time, achieving immortality on a conceptual level.

One is physical immortality, and the other is conceptual immortality.

Combat strength is only superficial. No matter what achievements or Dao attainments one has, they are not judged by combat prowess.

Cultivation is for the sake of longevity and the Great Dao; battles are merely trivial matters.

Therefore, both Huang and the Fighting Saint Emperor went down the wrong path, which is why they failed.

The reason why the Battle Immortal is not the Battle of Fighting, but the Battle of Overcoming All Things, is a supreme path, not one of fighting and killing.

The former is the challenger; once one is defeated, another will appear, making them an endless warrior. The latter, on the other hand, is the victor who sits on the throne, an immortal who overcomes all difficulties and grasps the eternal Dao fruit.

Seeking immortality through the wrong path, it's normal to fail.

The War Immortal remains unchanged throughout his life, calmly facing the erosion of time until he conquers it, then buries himself, resurrects from death, and triumphs over death.

In this way, the initial formation of the War Immortal was achieved!

Qin Tian seemed to be deep in thought; this path suited him very well!

As the one who controls reincarnation, defeating death is not difficult for him, but defeating the passage of time is something Qin Tian is somewhat unable to handle.

In his memory, the only beings capable of defying the passage of time were the eighth Heavenly Emperors.

At this level, the existence of Heavenly Emperors cannot be erased by time; they can live almost indefinitely.

Just one more step and you can live forever and attain immortality in the mortal world!

Upon closer examination, however, this is not a true victory over time, but rather an immunity to time achieved through the aid of immortal essence.

Qin Tian's thoughts were surging, but it did not affect his train of thought. In order to repay Lingbao Tianzun, Qin Tian told him about the immortal path in the mortal world.

"So that's how it is to become an immortal after nine lifetimes in the mortal world! I've been on the right path all along!" Lingbao Tianzun couldn't help but exclaim. In the mythical era, there was no way forward for the ultimate path. As a Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse after the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Venerable, he could only grope his way forward in the dark. He accidentally went astray and only recovered from death with Qin Tian's help.

Qin Tian was also marveling at Lingbao Tianzun's talent, as he continued his journey on the path of immortality in the mortal world and explored the path of battle immortals.

If he had focused on a path to immortality, perhaps he could have met a Celestial Lord of Spiritual Treasures in this lifetime.

No wonder Lingbao Tianzun was able to persist for so long; not only did he have the help of the Emperor, but he himself was also extremely powerful.

This path to immortality is indeed quite something.

"Has Lingbao Tianzun truly triumphed over death this time, returning from the brink of death? Has he taken another step forward on the path of battle immortality?!" Qin Tian wondered in his heart, but unfortunately, his understanding of the path of battle immortality was not deep enough to make a judgment.

The two felt an instant connection and talked for a long time. Soon after, Lingbao Tianzun showed signs of fatigue on his face. He was, after all, just a divine thought, not a complete Tianzun.

"Celestial Venerable, see you another day!" Qin Tian said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Lingbao Tianzun also revealed a smile: "See you another day!"

There is no deeper blessing than these words.

The next moment, Lingbao Tianzun's figure vanished into nothingness, returning to the world. With the help of the resonance of the five great deities, he attempted to pull back more fragments of his primordial spirit.

Seeing that Lingbao Tianzun was on the right track, Qin Tian turned and left.

Suddenly, he stopped and carved a five-colored Dao seal around himself, leaving an opportunity for future generations to use this secret technique to rebuild the Dao Palace and enhance the potential of the five great deities.

"Yes, now I'm qualified to be an old man!" Qin Tian nodded silently, giving himself a positive review.

He has always had a penchant for teaching.

Having lived in the world of "Covering the Sky" for so long, he also understood that the reason why the beings of this era could freely create large and small paintings and leave their own legacy was so that even after countless ages, someone would still remember them.

This is also a method of achieving longevity, using the characteristics of techniques and methods to ensure that people remember it.

Of course, this is also a last resort. If one could live forever and be immortal, who would want to be called a senior master by others?

.........

Walking on the Five-Colored Continent, Qin Tian felt a mix of emotions. Perhaps his Heavenly Emperor team could be expanded to include another member.

Following the Ruthless Emperor, the Azure Emperor, the Divine Emperor, and the Fuxi Emperor, another deity, the Spirit Treasure Celestial Venerable, has arrived.

It's no longer appropriate to call them the group of four—the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

But... isn't it normal for a group of four to have five people?

Suddenly, a magical array appeared above Qin Tian's head, incredibly profound, as if forged from primordial energy. It rapidly merged into the world, opening up the void and turning what was close at hand into the ends of the earth.

In an instant, a vast and desolate land was born, causing Qin Tian to leave the Divine Realm and appear in an unfamiliar world.

The four poles of heaven and earth bound his limbs and suppressed his divine treasure, making it impossible to remove the items inside.

For a moment, Qin Tian seemed to be in a precarious situation.

Qin Tian was unsurprised and said calmly, "Come out!"

A hazy light appeared, and a tall figure emerged from it. A terrifying aura, as vast as the sea, emanated from it. The powerful fluctuations of energy and the chilling killing intent indicated that this was an extremely powerful being, like an ancient celestial dragon looking down on ants.

With an arrogant attitude and an invincible demeanor that was somewhat dazzling, he made no attempt to conceal his sharpness; his imperial aura was pervasive and extremely terrifying.

This is a quasi-emperor!

"You've really gone through a lot of trouble!"

"A quasi-emperor is squatting here, not moving an inch!" Qin Tian sighed. This guy is too dedicated.

A dignified Quasi-Emperor, dealing with a mere Saint King, actually resorted to the most primitive method of crouching!

Who would have thought of this.

Qin Tian shook his head, quite helplessly, this was not a fault of the battle.

Moreover, his appearance was too coincidental.

If Qin Tian had chosen to launch a sneak attack when he was on the Five Colors Continent, this quasi-emperor would have been different.

Then, the Celestial Venerable Lingbao will teach him how to be a person. Even a single divine thought is the ultimate path and the supreme being.

Suppressing a Quasi-Emperor with a single thought is just basic maneuvering.

Qin Tian straightened his collar: "But... it doesn't matter!"

"Just a quasi-emperor!"

"For me now, it's not impossible to fight!" Qin Tian murmured to himself, eager to try.

The visitor said meaningfully, "After all, you are a forbidden being, so you can't be too careful!"

"What's your name?" Qin Tian asked.

The sudden arrival of a quasi-emperor surprised Qin Tian, ​​a rare occurrence for him.

Sensing Qin Tian's power, his arrogance subsided considerably, but a hint of haughtiness remained. He spoke, "I am Yu Huatian of the Divine Court!"

Yu Huatian cupped his hands and said, "I have come here specifically to invite you to the Divine Court to serve the supreme Emperor together."

The other side of the gods is not unknown; it's just that the era is too long ago, and it has been temporarily forgotten by the world.

After all, the last golden age dates back to the time of Emperor Wushi, nearly 100,000 years ago.

Eight years have passed!

"You old dogs are still relentlessly chasing after me!" Qin Tian said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

"You're joking, sir. You are a forbidden being. How could anyone not be interested in such a secret that surpasses even the greatest emperors of all time? How could anyone give it up!"

Indeed, just as Yu Huatian said, neither the Underworld nor the Divine Organization had given up on finding Qin Tian; they had simply added Duan De to their list of plans.

Since we still have to search, why not find another one?

Yu Huatian was a member of the Divine Court's dispatch office. He was specifically tasked with searching for ancient roads that had been lost in the past, which eventually led him to this golden ancient city.

"My Divine Court Lord is a future Daoist, a future Great Emperor. He specially dispatched me to invite you to the Divine Court for a discussion, to jointly explore the forbidden realm." His expression became fervent, his body shrouded in mist, his chaotic power surging, and his powerful aura surged forward, awe-inspiring.

If an ordinary Great Sage were to directly confront this aura, he would likely shatter instantly, turning into blood mist and broken bones, and no one would doubt this fact.

This is immense pressure from a quasi-emperor, capable of annihilating all ants who are not "emperors".

But Qin Tian was different. He stood at the peak of the Saint King realm, towering above the forbidden realm of gods, possessing quasi-Emperor level combat power, and was not afraid at all.

He was an emperor too!

Seeing this, his smile became even more genuine.

He wanted to know the forbidden secrets too!

Yu Huatian eagerly said, "My Divine Court Lord is willing to accept you as a disciple and impart to you the Supreme God's Way."
