What Is the Basis of Immortality?!
North Shaohe Abyss.
A streak of mysterious light vanished, landing in a mountain abyss. It revealed itself to be Lin Ye, the Sha Yutang. Judging from his aura, this was clearly not his true body, but merely a wisp of his spirit.
Distractions occur.
Another person appeared in the abyss.
This man, dressed in a Black and White robe, appeared to be both righteous and evil; he was none other than the Good-Evil Devil Lord of Sage-Welcoming Peak.
"Senior brother."
Upon seeing this person, Lin Ye called out to him, a hint of shame appearing on his face.
The Law Treasure Good-Evil Devil Lord -Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel, was stolen, and all traces were erased. Although the Demon Lord of Good and Evil wasn't present, he was, after all, the owner of the Law Treasure; how could he not know? He had initially held onto hope, but seeing Lin Ye now, he knew his guess was correct, and his brow furrowed slightly. "What happened? How could the Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel be stolen?"
"Well!"
Lin Ye sighed deeply and said bitterly, "Yao Sihai of Rotten Peach Mountain gifted the 'Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma' to his general, and then sent the fake immortal from Blessed Land Immortal Destiny False Immortal to entangle me. The general unexpectedly unleashed the 'Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma.' Although I had anticipated this and borrowed the 'Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel' from my senior brother, I never expected that whether it was the Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma or Wen Guang and the False Immortal who had other methods, they would steal the Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel silently."
Wen Guang made a sophistry.
Lin Ye didn't believe it at all.
"The Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma?"
The Good-Evil Devil Lord shook his head, unsuspecting, and said, "Although this treasure is powerful, I have fought with Yao Sihai many times and have seen this thing before. It has no ability to take away other people's Law Artifacts."
If it's not the Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma, then it's a human being.
"The Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel is gone, and the Immortal Destiny False Immortal has also disappeared without a trace."
Lin Ye added upon hearing this.
The Good-Evil Devil Lord narrowed his eyes slightly. "In that case, it must have been Immortal Destiny who did it. Yao Sihai had the guts to send Immortal Destiny out, and he must have something to rely on. I suppose that Immortal Destiny must have used some kind of Evil Method to steal the Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel. He was afraid that I would call the treasure back, so he fled. He has probably already returned to the Blessed Land by now."
"What you say makes sense, senior brother."
"But what should we do now?"
Lin Ye frowned slightly as she looked at the Good-Evil Devil Lord.
"Junior sister, don't panic."
The Good-Evil Devil Lord looked thoughtful for a moment, then relaxed his brows and said calmly, "You have the Cloud-Blowing Method with you, so you are temporarily not afraid of the 'Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma.' Let me go and find Junior Brother Red Dust to borrow the 'Red Dust Ruyi Net.' Junior Sister has the Raindrop Divine Sword, and with the 'Red Dust Ruyi Net' by her side, one for offense and one for defense, we can ensure that you are safe."
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Lin Ye's face lit up with joy, and she quickly thanked him.
This 'Red Dust Ruyi Net' is the Red Dust Divine Lord's prized Law Treasure, used for self-defense. It is flexible and easy to use, making it extremely convenient. Even if four or five 'Immortal Destiny False Immortal' come to attack, she will not be afraid at all.
Only.
How long this treasure can be kept in one's possession is anyone's guess.
Not just North Shaohe Abyss.
In South Shaohe Abyss.
On the Nameless mountain peak, Wen Guang returned once again. Without the Daoist Sacred Scorpion and the Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma, he, Zhang Ran, and the thirteen Peach-Blossom Demon General were no match for Lin Ye and the others.
They had no choice but to leave Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain again.
He ordered the Fourteenth General to wait outside Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain, while he himself returned in his true form.
"The demon's magic is powerful. When that golden wheel came out, it took away Fellow Saint Scorpion and the Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma. I was caught off guard and worried about losing another general, so I had to order the generals to retreat from Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain."
Wen Guang knelt on one knee and reported to Yao Sihai, who was sitting above him.
The atmosphere froze.
He didn't dare to look up.
Moreover, he could tell Yao Sihai's expression and state of mind without even looking up.
With a heart full of trepidation, Wen Guang clasped his hands in a fist salute again, and said with remorse, "This humble general has suffered repeated defeats and losses of soldiers and generals. Now even Fellow Daoist Saint Scorpion and the Cave Master's treasure have fallen into enemy hands. I am truly ashamed and guilty. I beg the Cave Master for your punishment!"
This is a strategic retreat.
Yao Sihai, sitting at the head of the table, flashed a murderous glint in his eyes. He reached out a hand, almost striking down the object.
But in the end, I held back.
He currently has few capable men under his command, and among all those in the Southern Borderlands who can be considered top-tier, only Wen Guang stands out. If he were to kill him now, not only would his generals become disloyal, but he would also be without any capable generals to command for a long time to come.
Furthermore, these repeated defeats cannot really be blamed on Wen Guang. In terms of strength, Wen Guang's combat power is definitely comparable to that of the reincarnation of the Kill-Rain Devil Lord. However, Lin Ye's treasures are too powerful, and Wen Guang is no match for him. Ultimately, it's not that his skills are inferior, but rather that his treasures are inferior.
Thinking of this.
Yao Sihai suppressed his murderous intent.
The loss of his treasured artifact, the 'Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma,' which he had refined over many years, was truly heartbreaking. Compared to the Immortal Destiny Saint Scorpion, the former's treasure was even a level below.
This Immortal Destiny has been lost.
What he lost was his tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation. Although it was difficult to fundamentally change his strength, it would be greatly diminished.
"We must not lose our Immortal Destiny!"
Yao Sihai steeled his resolve, looked down at Wen Guang who was still kneeling trembling on the ground, and raised his voice, "The villains are cunning, how can we blame the Marshal for this? Marshal, please wait here a moment. I will go to my third senior brother to borrow the 'Blood-Summoning Sack.' This treasure was made by my third senior brother, imitating our teacher's treasure, the 'Five Obscenities Blood-Summoning Sack,' and was forged with countless efforts and precious materials. It is specifically designed to break the magic weapons and flying swords of both righteous and evil Law Treasure. If you take it, you will surely be able to break Lin Ye's Raindrop Divine Sword and Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Before Wen Guang could reply, his figure had already faded away, as if he had rushed off to borrow the treasure.
"Thank you for your trust, Cave Master!"
Wen Guang bowed deeply to the Void above, deeply moved and almost to tears. He then rose and stood respectfully to the side, awaiting Yao Sihai's return.
A two-way game.
Each borrowed a treasure.
Hidden deep within the streams of Spirit-Infiltrating Mountain, there lies a unique and secluded place with a different kind of scenery.
"Here--"
In a dizzying moment, the Saint Scorpion saw Golden Light flashing before his eyes, and a misty haze filled the air. Faintly, five-colored light rose from within, causing the world to change.
He staggered.
When their vision returned, they found themselves in this vast expanse.
Looking around.
All around him stood twelve invincible demon gods, like pillars of heaven suppressing the four corners of the earth, towering and awe-inspiring. They bore a striking resemblance to the 'Five Sacred Heavenly Pillars' of High Antiquity times in the Peach Blossom World from which he originated.
Saint Scorpion dared not be careless. He steadied himself and cupped his hands towards the void, saying, "I am Saint Scorpion, a disciple of the master of Peach Blossom Cave on Rotten Peach Mountain. Please forgive me for any disturbance."
Poor Saint Scorpion had just emerged from the Peach Blossom World and was completely unfamiliar with the place. After a fierce battle and now facing this predicament, he was utterly lacking in confidence. He could only remain wary in his heart while invoking his teacher's name, hoping it would be of some use.
The words fell.
In the vast emptiness, there was a long period of silence.
This made the Saint Scorpion increasingly uneasy.
After an unknown amount of time, Saint Scorpion suddenly had a thought and turned to gaze at a spot in mid-air.
Among the twelve demon gods in the world, one demon god with a beast's head and a human body, covered in red scales, with fire snakes piercing his ears and riding a fire dragon, opened his palm. In the palm, a young Daoist appeared.
Upon closer inspection.
The young Daoist priest was quite handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He held a golden wheel in one hand and touched a wisp of black smoke in the other.
These were none other than the two supreme treasures of the sect: the 'Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel' and the 'Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma'.
"Both treasures were taken by this person?!"
Saint Scorpion was startled again.
These are all Dao Lord- level Law Artifact, and their original owners were celestial saints like his teacher, transcending heaven and earth. For this person to be able to seize them so easily, just how terrifying must his strength be?
Saint Scorpion had been hoping to take the opportunity to escape, but now his heart sank, and he felt that his hopes were slim.
"Immortal Destiny."
"False Immortal."
Saint Scorpion was sizing up Lu Qingfeng, and Lu Qingfeng was also sizing up Saint Scorpion.
He fiddled with the two Immortal Artifacts in his hands.
This 'Evil-Repelling Golden Wheel' and 'Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma' are indeed extraordinary.
Although the former is only a first-tier Immortal Artifact, it is effective against all kinds of poisonous smoke and miasma. It is an excellent treasure whether it is used against demons who are good at poison attacks or to enter and exit places like Rotten Peach Mountain.
As for the latter, it is even more extraordinary.
This 'Five Aggregates Peach-Blossom Miasma' was created by Yao Sihai in imitation of the Spirit Treasure in the hands of the Red-Haired Ancestor. It was painstakingly refined over tens of thousands of years by collecting the yin poisonous miasma from Rotten Peach Mountain, and it has already reached the third level.
Of all the treasures on Lu Qingfeng's body, only the Raindrop Divine Sword in the hands of 'Lin Ye' clone could rival him; the rest were all difficult to match.
They acquired two treasures in succession.
I feel great.
Looking again at the Daoist Sacred Scorpion, he felt even more joy.
"The millions of practitioners in the world all strive to become immortals."
"But even after becoming an immortal and attaining Changsheng, there is still a path to cultivation."
"Above the Earth Immortal, there are also the Celestial Immortal."
"But for Earth Immortal to advance to Celestial Immortal, there are four minor realms that are like insurmountable chasms."
In the four realms.
The first level is 'Dust-Cleansing'.
The second level is 'Immortal Destiny'.
As the name suggests, the Dust-Cleansing Realm is the process of creating Blessed Land.
Those who attain the Earth Immortal through the method of Daoist Ironfeather must, after achieving the Blessed-Land Prototype of Earth Immortal, use themselves as the basis to draw upon the wisps of primordial power from outside heaven and earth to thoroughly refine the rudimentary blessed land transformed from their Daoist Domain into a Blessed Land.
This process requires observing mountains and rivers, the Primordial World of the universe, comprehending the mysteries of the world, capturing various fragmented orders, and integrating them with oneself to unleash extraordinary power. Moreover, one must maintain a close connection with the earth and the universe; most legendary Earth Immortal refer to this stage.
The Blessed-Land Prototype is weak and unstable, requiring more time and effort to develop.
For example, the Daoist Chicheng stayed in this realm for many years.
If nothing unexpected happens, after Daoist Ironfeather barely manages to advance to the Earth Immortal, he will likely remain there for quite some time. However, at least with the advancement to Earth Immortal, there will be no longer any limit to lifespan, so it's not a major problem.
"The Dust-Cleansing Realm".
The Earth Immortal created Blessed Land.
By elevating mortal land to Immortal Soil, one gains sufficient insight into the universe and can subtly transform a place into one's own Blessed Land, thereby connecting with the Chaos void. This allows one to initially nourish oneself and more effectively nourish the universe.
Giving back to heaven and earth.
This is also the most fundamental difference between Earth Immortal and those below Earth Immortal.
Before becoming an immortal, all they did was take. They took Spiritual Qi, spirit medicine, spiritual objects, and so on—in short, they took from heaven and earth. To heaven and earth, they were practically like termites.
But after attaining the Earth Immortal, one should give back to the source.
From then on, it was no longer about taking, but about improving itself while also drawing power from the vast Chaos beyond heaven and earth, transforming and dispersing it, so that heaven and earth could also benefit from it.
Subtly and gradually.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years have passed.
All that was previously taken from heaven and earth will be made up for. After this is made up for, heaven and earth will benefit completely.
After the Blessed Land is opened and the 'Immortal Destiny Realm' is reached.
It is both dependent on heaven and earth and a world unto itself. The Blessed Land is stable, connected to the void, drawing power from the Chaos of the void to create the origin of the world and enhance the essence of the Blessed Land.
The Primordial World, though vast in the ancient and High Antiquity eras, was finite. Yet, through the passage of time, countless extraordinary talents cultivated themselves into immortals, following the Earth Immortal path of earthly immortals.
Constantly giving back to heaven and earth.
Since then, the world has slowly expanded. To this day, apart from the all-knowing and all-powerful Primordial Unity Sage, probably no one else can know the vastness of the Primordial World.
Earth Immortal bring benefits to heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth bestow Changsheng.
This is the true reason why Earth Immortal Changsheng.
" To Dust-Cleansing".
"Immortal Destiny."
"The former is the creation of Blessed Land."
"The latter, however, is about consolidating and managing the Blessed Land."
Lu Qingfeng looked at the Saint Scorpion.
With his abilities, he could see through it at a glance; this person was one of the products of Yao Sihai's efforts to consolidate and manage the Blessed Land.
Immortal Destiny False Immortal!
