Lu Changsheng turned the entire Main Tomb upside down.

But nothing unusual was found.

But the coffin was definitely not examined closely.

Yes.

It might be hidden inside the coffin.

After all, something so precious couldn't possibly be hidden somewhere else.

With that thought in mind, Lu Changsheng walked toward the coffin.

Black Tortoise slapped his forehead and said, "Oh dear, how could I forget about that? The coffin used by the Star Immortal Emperor is definitely not an ordinary item. This thing must be a good thing. Brother Changsheng, you really have a discerning eye."

Black Tortoise said, half-seriously and half-flatteringly.

He did indeed overlook the coffin.

Lu Changsheng simply didn't care about the coffin, even though it was indeed no ordinary coffin.

But to fight with a coffin?

Carry a coffin if you don't like someone?

Lu Changsheng wasn't that bored.

We arrived at the Red Coffin.

The coffin lid was on the ground, and the coffin was empty.

Lu Changsheng examined the Red Coffin carefully.

The Red Coffin was made of a special material, exuding a sandalwood fragrance that was calming and extremely sturdy. Even more terrifying was that it was engraved with 120,000 great arrays to suppress the user, seal away the passage of time, and prolong life.

"That old bastard Star is really suicidal. He actually managed to get his hands on the Tree of Life and even made it into a coffin. How extravagant!"

Black Tortoise seems to know a lot of things. I wonder if it is because it was born from the heavens and earth, so it knows a lot of things innately. However, it is just a chatterbox. Before, it kept calling the Star Immortal Emperor, but after learning that the emperor was dead, it called him the old Star Turtle.

The world is a cold and indifferent place.

"Is this coffin nice?"

Lu Changsheng asked casually, while carefully inspecting the coffin.

"Isn't this coffin good enough? This is the trunk of the Life Ancient Tree! A single leaf from the Life Ancient Tree can extend the life of an immortal saint by a thousand years. Imagine how much lifespan would be gained if someone ate such a large coffin?"

Black Tortoise said this, repeatedly expressing his amazement.

"A single leaf can extend one's life by a thousand years?" Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised. Although it could only extend the life of a Celestial Saint by a thousand years, it was still quite terrifying. After all, to extend one's life by a thousand years at the Celestial Saint level, one would need at least a Celestial Saint-level elixir.

Of course, extending one's life by a thousand years wouldn't be of much use to immortals or saints.

"Extravagant, extravagant, extravagant! 120,000 arrays, including Peerless Emperor Array. This old bastard is really damn extravagant! Brother Changsheng, do you want this coffin?"

Black Tortoise was practically drooling.

What would I do with a coffin?

Although the coffin is made of excellent material and can be considered a quasi-Emperor artifact, its purpose is not to attack enemies, but to bury the Emperor.

It's important to protect it from the erosion of time; otherwise, once it's affected by the passage of time, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Found it!"

Lu Changsheng stood inside the coffin, which was three zhang tall and had 120,000 arrays set up inside. The Star Immortal Emperor had hidden the Star Ancient Tree in one of these 120,000 arrays.

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the Star Divine Tree is located within this spatial formation.

"Eighth Brother, you stay outside and keep watch. No matter what happens, don't disturb me," Lu Changsheng said, giving Black Tortoise a few instructions.

"Okay, brother, don't worry. I will definitely stay here. No matter what happens, I will protect you. As long as you live, the tortoise will live; if you die, the tortoise will die."

Black Tortoise said earnestly.

Then Lu Changsheng waved his hand, and in an instant the coffin lid closed, and the formation was quickly activated.

Soon, as Lu Changsheng lay in the coffin, in an instant, light and shadow appeared, and Lu Changsheng seemed to have arrived in the void of the universe, where stars twinkled, each star representing an array.

"This Star Immortal Emperor is truly formidable. The twelve thousand arrays, seemingly suppressing himself, are actually suppressing treasures."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, if it were any other cultivator, they would probably only think that this coffin was a treasure, but they would never have imagined that there was another mystery hidden inside the coffin.

Soon, Lu Changsheng found the location of the treasure.

An inconspicuous star.

He took a step and instantly entered a new space.

Stepping into the space, one is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, waterfalls that resemble the Milky Way, and ancient trees that look like writhing dragons.

But an ancient tree, radiating starlight, stands tall in this space.

This is the Star Ancient Tree, also known as the Star Divine Tree.

Three hundred and sixty-five feet high, piercing straight into the clouds.

The ancient trees reach for the sky, radiating a terrifying Star Power.

The Star Ancient Tree is 365 feet tall. At a glance, the entire tree is surrounded by 365 stars, each one extremely dazzling.

This is an anomaly, but the essence of each star is a Star Fruit.

Boom!

Opening his Mythical Double Pupils, Lu Changsheng saw through everything, and soon he saw the divine fruit on the Star Ancient Tree.

On the ancient tree, silver fruits hung among the branches, each one exuding immense Star Power.

This fruit is extremely precious.

A single Star Fruit like this can transform a cultivator with extremely poor aptitude, allowing them to easily cultivate to the Golden Immortal Realm.

That's right. Just one of these fruits, once swallowed, can easily propel one to the Golden Immortal Realm, containing terrifying energy.

The Star Ancient Tree is one of the ten most ancient trees in the Six Realms. Although it cannot compare to something as exaggerated as the Origin God Tree, it is still quite terrifying.

And on this Star Ancient Tree, there are 365 Star Fruit.

It takes twenty-six eras to condense one Star Fruit.

When the Star Immortal Emperor obtained the Star Ancient Tree, he reached the realm of Immortal Emperor. He hid the ancient tree in an array, waiting for it to continue to bloom and bear fruit.

It waited for a whole era, and so it was covered with 365 Star Fruit again.

This was the Star Immortal Emperor's last and greatest source of confidence: by possessing the body of a prodigy and using 365 Star Fruit, he once again reached the realm of the Star Emperor.

That's why he seemed so confident.

Ask yourself, who in the world wouldn't be confident?

Unfortunately, all their plans came to naught, and Lu Changsheng got away with it.

Without further ado, Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged under the ancient tree.

What he lacks most right now is a spiritual object containing terrifying energy. The value of this Star Fruit is probably no less than that of an Immortal Saint Artifact.

Soon, the first Star Fruit fell from the tree and slowly landed in Lu Changsheng's hand.

The Star Fruit is small, no more than the size of a palm, and is silver in color with a little bit of starlight on its surface.

Lu Changsheng took a bite. The fruit was sweet, crisp, and refreshing, but with just one bite, it condensed into a vast ocean of Star Power, which strengthened his body.

Boom!

Lu Changsheng's body trembled; with just one bite, he completed several body refinements.

Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture began to operate, Lu Changsheng's body was constantly sublimating, and golden light permeated the air. Although this was the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture, his physical body was like God Gold, incomparably sacred, and filled with the Great Dao Qi, making him appear extremely terrifying.

Thus, Lu Changsheng directly refined the Star Fruit, and with a massive amount of immortal energy bolstering his body, he began a true process of sublimation and tempering.

A Star Fruit.

Ten Star Fruit.

Fifty Star Fruit.

One hundred Star Fruit.

One hundred and fifty Star Fruit.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changsheng spent a full six months cultivating in this place.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's physical body has been tempered two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

That's right, it's two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times.

Lu Changsheng only mastered half of the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture.

However, he used the Heavenly Emperor Law to deduce the last half, which is why he was able to quench it 2,999 times.

At this moment, his physical body was almost perfect and invincible. The golden light on the surface of his body contained the aura of the Great Dao, and there were sounds of dragon roars, tiger howls, and thunder within his body. With the slightest movement, he could directly tear apart the void.

If Lu Changsheng's physical body was stronger than True Dragon before, then at this moment, Lu Changsheng's physical body is probably even stronger than that of the Progenitor Dragon.

It is universally acknowledged that the physical body of the dragon race is the strongest in the world. However, Lu Changsheng, who has tempered his body 2,999 times, has completely surpassed the body of True Dragon.

His physical body had become incredibly strong; with a mere wave of his hand, he could tear through the void.

To put it another way, if Lu Changsheng were to encounter the Thousand Hands Demon Saint again at this moment, he wouldn't need any magic at all. One punch, or even one punch would be superfluous. He could probably kill the Thousand Hands Demon Saint with a flick of his finger.

Yes, that's how terrifying and domineering it is.

The Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture is the number one body-refining mental cultivation method in the world, used to temper the True Devil Body.

What is the True Devil Body?

Free and Mahayana with the Mahayana, this is the True Devil Body.

This "demon" does not refer to a monster, but to a demon in the sense of Gods and Devils, a demon that even the gods fear.

And now, two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times is already terrifying; what about the three thousandth time?

How strong would that be?

Don't underestimate the last layer; incomplete and perfect are two different concepts.

Once perfected, its strength will be even greater, and not just a little bit stronger.

But the final level requires even more celestial energy than all the previous levels combined.

Puff puff puff!

One by one, the Star Fruit burst open, transforming into dragon-shaped streams of immortal energy that poured into Lu Changsheng's body.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng's cultivation level skyrocketed to the Immortal Lord Realm.

That's right, he has entered the Immortal Lord Realm, simply because his strength is too great. If he doesn't break through again, it would be too outrageous.

The advancement of one's realm is like the expansion of a bucket filled with water. Lu Changsheng's bucket is extremely large, but it also has its limits. Without breaking through, he will never be able to truly complete the third thousandth layer of body tempering.

Upon reaching the Immortal Lord Realm, his Primordial Spirit surged in an instant, awakening supreme wisdom after subduing the Karma True Dragon.

Lu Changsheng's Primordial Spirit broke through along with his cultivation level in an instant.

Generally speaking, after breaking through a realm, one needs to improve their Primordial Spirit. However, many cultivators, even those who have reached the Golden Immortal Realm, may still only have Primordial Spirit at the True Immortal Realm level, since the Primordial Spirit is difficult to cultivate.

Lu Changsheng is different. His Primordial Spirit is much stronger than his realm. If his Primordial Spirit could surpass his realm, Lu Changsheng's Primordial Spirit realm would probably be at least at the perfect level of Immortal Saint.

Boom boom boom!

The space trembled. The array space set up by the Immortal Emperor was also struggling to withstand the pressure brought by Lu Changsheng. If Lu Changsheng wanted to, he was fully capable of destroying the array.

But Lu Changsheng wouldn't do that. This is a good place for cultivation, and it would be really bad if it were damaged.

Even after breaking through to the Immortal Lord Realm, Lu Changsheng did not complete the final body tempering.

It still lacks an ethereal quality.

To be honest, Lu Changsheng was a little confused.

These 365 Star Fruit are the kind of fruits that can allow a Celestial Saint to break through to the Celestial Emperor level.

The leap from Immortal Saint to Immortal Emperor is basically no different from the leap from Human Immortal to Immortal Emperor.

In other words, a Golden Immortal who consumes 365 Star Fruit, while not immediately becoming an Immortal Emperor, could become one in a few hundred years.

The energy contained in each Star Fruit is beyond imagination.

Even under these circumstances, Lu Changsheng has already refined two hundred pills, but he has not yet completed the body tempering process.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture is.

Is this still a cultivation method practiced by humans?

At this moment, Lu Changsheng sighed.

This can be considered as him cultivating the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture. If other cultivators were to cultivate this kind of mental technique...

Hiss!

It's hard to imagine how they could have cultivated themselves to this level.

However, Lu Changsheng was also somewhat relieved that he hadn't let Qing Feng cultivate the Daoist Canon Scripture. If he had Qing Feng probably never have been able to ascend to Daoist Canon Scripture in this lifetime.

Lu Changsheng didn't plan to let Qing Feng cultivate the Demon Lord Heavenly Dao Scripture unless he found another Star Ancient Tree.

Shaking his head, Lu Changsheng continued his cultivation.

He refined one Star Fruit another.

The 200th.

The 220th.

The 260th one!

The 280th one!

The three hundredth!

The 330th!

The 360th!

In the blink of an eye, another half year has passed. Lu Changsheng's refining speed is already fast enough. If it were other cultivators, it might take a hundred years to refine it completely.

At this moment, only five Star God Fruits remain.

However, Star Fruit, Lu Changsheng felt he had reached his limit, and there was still one last step to take.

Taking that final step will completely transform you.

Three hundred and sixty-one!

Three hundred and sixty-three!

Three hundred and sixty-five!

As Lu Changsheng devoured and refined the last Star Fruit, the Star Bone within Lu Changsheng body underwent tremendous changes.

After all 365 Star Fruit were devoured and refined, they possessed a divine effect, which, combined with Lu Changsheng's Star Bone, further enhanced their power.

At that moment, something terrible happened.

Surrounded by stars, Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, and in an instant, countless stars throughout the Six Realms conveyed his supreme will.

The Star Heavenly Dao!

The Star Heavenly Dao!

Lu Changsheng awakened the Star Heavenly Dao.

One of the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao, the Supreme Star Heavenly Dao, possesses the supreme Daoist method of manipulating the stars.

The Heavenly Emperor Law also became much stronger, because the law that Lu Changsheng mastered was no longer some peerless immortal technique or supreme immortal technique, but the true Heavenly Dao.

To govern the Star Heavenly Dao.

They possess countless incredible methods.

This was an unexpected delight, a truly unexpected delight.

But we were still one step short.

Just one last step.

Lu Changsheng could sense that he was still one step away from Body Tempering Three Thousand Times.

This step is small, it's really close, and if we don't break through, something unexpected might happen.

We need to start all over again.

Of course, starting over means going back to the 2,999th time, not actually starting from zero.

But this is also terrifying.

One hundred and fifty Star Fruit were used to refine the material for the two thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth time.

The remaining 216 Star Fruit were not refined to the final stage.

It's easy to imagine just how terrifying this final step is.

"A breakthrough requires a single, unwavering effort; otherwise, the initial momentum will wane, and the final effort will be exhausted."

The quantity might be just a little short.

Lu Changsheng frowned, but soon he couldn't help but look at the Star Ancient Tree.

Although this ancient tree can still bear Star Fruit in the future, Star Fruit is ineffective against the Immortal Emperor Realm. Most importantly, it will take twenty-six epochs to bear new fruit.

That is, 26 million years. By then, I'll probably be invincible.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath and raised his hand.

In an instant, the Star Ancient Tree trembled, and then the Heaven and Earth Furnace appeared, directly refining the ancient tree.

At this moment, the Star Ancient Tree transformed into an even purer and more terrifying Star Power. This was the final essence, washing over Lu Changsheng's body like a vast ocean.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Space trembled, and all 120,000 arrays shook.

Lu Changsheng's physical body radiated unparalleled light.

In the outside world.

The coffin lid was trembling violently, and Black Tortoise was frantically suppressing it. He could sense that if the coffin lid wasn't covered, it would be very troublesome.

One day!

One month!

Half a year!

One year!

Another year has passed in a flash.

Finally, a terrifying clap of thunder sounded.

Lu Changsheng's physical body burst forth with boundless light, and a phantom image of a god Gods and Devils appeared behind him.

The physical body has three thousand layers; perfection is achieved!

Not only that, but countless stars bestowed boundless divine light upon him, transforming him into a child of the stars.

The space was shattered and could no longer support Lu Changsheng's presence. This was a spatial array set up by the Great Emperor, yet Lu Changsheng didn't even need to move.

The entire space could no longer withstand it.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng could kill True Dragon, tear open the Azure Sky, and suppress all enemies in the world with just a wave of his hand or a step.

If the Thousand Hands Demon Saint were to appear before him, he could be annihilated with a single stroke.

"Nine Nine Returns to One!"

However, after tempering his body three thousand times, Lu Changsheng was still not satisfied. He took a deep breath, and Nine-Colored Immortal Qi spread out.

He wanted to completely perfect the Demon Emperor Scripture.

The nine-colored immortal power transformed into a nine-colored ocean, engulfing everything.

But in the end, the nine-colored ocean kept transforming, transforming, and transforming again.

Under Lu Changsheng's will, it eventually transformed into the Chaos Immortal Sea.

That's right, Nine Nine Returns to One, transforming into the color of chaos and nothingness.

This is the highest quality of the immortal power.

The color of chaos.

The Daoist Canon Scripture is now complete!

The Demon Emperor Scripture is complete!

The Demon Lord Sutra is complete!

Lu Changsheng's cultivation level has also Great Perfection of Immortal Lord, and his Primordial Spirit is also at that level.

What's lacking now is the next volume of the cultivation method.

The Buddha Scripture.

Volume Four: The Supreme Mind Method

Moreover, Lu Changsheng also deduced the efficacy of the Buddha Scripture.

Targeting the Primordial Spirit.

Boom!

The next moment, Lu Changsheng withdrew all his light, and all the strange phenomena were concealed.

He stepped out of the space and returned to the coffin.

At this moment, he has the qualifications to be a War Immortal King.

That's right.

It may not be able to kill an Immortal King, but it can certainly fight one.

The realm of Immortal Lord transcends the two great realms of Immortal Venerable and Immortal Saint, and involves a battle against the Immortal King.

Even someone as powerful as the Golden Crow Crown Prince, ranked among the top ten on the True Dragon Ranking, cannot fight across a single realm.

However, Lu Changsheng was already able to cross two major realms.

The difference is like night and day.

Bang.

The next moment, the coffin fell off, and Lu Changsheng walked out calmly, like a god.

However, Lu Changsheng was unaware of this.

At this moment, only two years have passed in the outside world.

But huge changes have already occurred.
