Lingbao Heavenly Venerate Might Truly Be Alive!

Ying Hao gazed at the Life Spring, pondering a question: was Lingbao Heavenly Venerate truly dead?

Lingbao Heavenly Venerate was one of the nine Heavenly Venerates of the Mythological Era, dating back roughly a million years or more.

Legend had it that Lingbao Heavenly Venerate possessed astonishing combat power, not only having quelled a corpse plague but also having slain an "Immortal."

Although the claim of striking against Immortals was debatable, Ying Hao believed in Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's combat prowess.

As the creator of the Character Combination Secret, Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's Ultimate Emperor Weapon was exceptionally unique, consisting of four killing swords.

The Immortal Slaying Sword, Immortal Slaughtering Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, and Immortal Exterminating Sword, along with a Killing Formation Diagram, could form the greatest killing formation of all time.

Even a peak Great Emperor would most likely be slain if they fell into the First Killing Formation.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the four Immortal Slaying swords the foremost Ultimate Emperor Weapons below Immortal Artifacts!

"Perhaps Lingbao Heavenly Venerate isn't dead!" Ying Hao murmured to himself.

He had this thought not only because of the insights gained along his journey but also because of this Life Spring.

The spring water flowed ceaselessly, spewing forth boundless vital energy, its divine radiance so brilliant that it eclipsed the sun and moon.

If Lingbao Heavenly Venerate were truly dead, why would the Life Spring still exhibit such grandeur?

If Lingbao Heavenly Venerate were not dead, what was the meaning of his transformation into a vast Star Domain?

Ying Hao's heart suddenly stirred, and a bold idea took root.

Could this perhaps be a form of transformation?

There were no Mortal World Immortals in the world initially; the Desolate Heaven Emperor was the first. After the Desolate Heaven Emperor, only a select few exceptionally gifted beings could tread this path.

For these extraordinary beings, everything was unknown, and achieving immortality depended entirely on their own slow exploration.

Precisely because of this, each individual's path to transforming into a Mortal World Immortal was different.

Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate collected the Nine Paths of Reincarnation Seal through reincarnation, while the Undying Heavenly Emperor bathed in the blood of Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors to continuously transform himself.

The Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor was even more peculiar, undergoing transformation through slumber. The Thirteen Transformations of the Divine Silkworm could even elevate one to the realm of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Lingbao Heavenly Venerate was also exceptionally gifted, conceiving a unique method of transformation, which was not an impossibility.

Transforming into a vast Star Domain, continuously evolving in desolation, would Lingbao Heavenly Venerate return once more on some future day?

Temporarily suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, his gaze focused on the Life Spring, and the four Immortal swords immediately appeared before his eyes.

He instantly felt an incomparably sharp killing intent, a peerless sharpness that seemed capable of destroying everything.

With a thought, he stepped into the Life Spring. In an instant, the four Immortal Slaying swords vibrated, emitting a world-shattering killing intent.

Sword qi surged, rising to the heavens, shaking the universe and the eight directions, like a brilliant galaxy cascading down, covering the firmament.

The sword qi swept towards him, dazzling and boundless in its terror, yet Ying Hao remained completely unfazed.

He was silently sensing the power of the four Immortal Slaying swords. They had only erupted with such astonishing sword qi now because they had been provoked.

Without anyone wielding them and without the cooperation of the Killing Formation Diagram, their power should have been greatly diminished, yet they remained terrifyingly immense.

In his estimation, they could rival a revived Ultimate Emperor Weapon, perhaps even surpass it, which was already remarkable.

If a Quasi-Emperor wielded the Killing Formation Diagram and controlled the four Immortal Slaying swords to set up the First Killing Formation, they should possess the strength to contend with a Supreme Being.

Silently, the terrifying sword qi vanished instantly. Ying Hao extended his great hand and grasped the four Immortal Slaying swords.

The four Immortal Slaying swords had been vibrating violently, unleashing myriad sword qi, but upon falling into Ying Hao's hands, they immediately calmed.

Upon closer inspection, the four Immortal Slaying swords were dark red, ancient and natural, imbued with a chilling, peerless killing intent.

From the texture of the sword bodies to the Dao Traces etched upon them, he could increasingly sense the extraordinary nature of Lingbao Heavenly Venerate.

Because he truly saw the scene of slaughtering immortals on the swords, the legends might be true.

Perhaps in the Mythological Era, an Immortal had strayed into this universe, engaged in a fierce conflict with Lingbao Heavenly Venerate, and ultimately died by the Immortal Slaying swords.

To what terrifying level had Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's strength reached to be able to slaughter immortals?

Was he the strongest below the Mortal World Immortals?

Had such a peerless expert truly perished?

After a moment of contemplation, Ying Hao simply stopped thinking so much and sat down within the Life Spring, silently comprehending the Dao Traces remaining in the Heavenly Venerate's Bitter Sea.

Regardless of whether Lingbao Heavenly Venerate was truly dead or not, it was undeniable that he was an exceptionally gifted and peerless powerhouse.

Cultivation began in the Sea of Suffering, and comprehending within the Heavenly Venerate's Bitter Sea would undoubtedly benefit him greatly.

Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed. Ying Hao remained immersed in a deep state of cultivation.

Finally, Ying Hao slowly opened his eyes, a profound aura manifesting, and faint Dao sounds echoed within his body.

"With the help of a fellow Daoist today, I shall repay this debt in the future!"

Ying Hao bowed respectfully. During these thousand years, he had gained immense benefits from comprehending Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's Dao.

While it hadn't led to a complete understanding of the path ahead, it had given him a clear cognition of how to transform.

Therefore, he referenced the Heavenly Venerate's Bitter Sea and re-cultivated the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, its scope having expanded several times over.

This was a crucial step on the Path of Longevity, greatly aiding him in his future endeavor to live out another life in reverse.

Furthermore, during his transformation, he faintly sensed a deeply hidden vitality within the depths of the Heavenly Venerate's Bitter Sea.

This made him increasingly believe that Lingbao Heavenly Venerate had not completely perished but was undergoing a profound transformation.

With his current strength, rashly interfering with this transformation could lead to unpredictable consequences.

If he could advance further in the future, he might return to lend Lingbao Heavenly Venerate a hand, potentially allowing the Heavenly Venerate to reappear in the world.

Ying Hao looked towards the depths of the star domain. The star domain formed by Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's body was vast, containing other regions besides the Heavenly Venerate's Bitter Sea.

He had already witnessed the Heavenly Venerate's Bitter Sea formed by the Dao Palace Secret Realm, so he naturally had to explore other areas.

With a single step, he arrived in another star domain, where five continents appeared before him.

"The Five Elements Continent formed by Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's Dao Palace Secret Realm!"

The Dao Palace Secret Realm cultivates the five internal organs of the human body: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, corresponding to the five elemental divine treasuries of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The first continent was incredibly hot, blazing like the sun – this was the continent formed by the Heart Divine Treasury.

The second continent was a vast ocean, exuding a dense mist, clearly the continent formed by the Kidney Divine Treasury.

The third continent was filled with a soaring metallic aura, clanging and resounding; it was naturally the continent formed by the Lung Divine Treasury.

The Dao Palace Secret Realm's five divine treasuries transforming into five continents demonstrated that Lingbao Heavenly Venerate had also cultivated the Dao Palace Secret Realm to an extremely high level.

Just like the Heavenly Venerate's Bitter Sea, comprehending the Five Elements Continent and referencing Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's transformation path would also benefit Ying Hao greatly.

However, he had an even more important matter to attend to here: cultivating the divine ability, the Five-Colored Divine Light.

The Five Elements Power contained within Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's five divine treasuries was naturally of an extremely high caliber, making it the most suitable for cultivating the Five-Colored Divine Light.

With a thought, the Five Elements Power surged, flowing from the five continents and gathering around Ying Hao.
