Immortal Emperor Scripture

"Group Owner, you're here?"

At the entrance to the Dao Field, Xu Yi was looking over Willow God's territory.

A Divine Rainbow descended from the sky, and Willow God's figure manifested within it.

Compared to her appearance in the livestream, Willow God was even more peerlessly elegant in person. A faint sacred radiance surrounded her, though the hairpin ornaments coiled in her hair, resembling willow branches, were truly rather luxuriant.

"Just call me Xu Yi, Willow God," Xu Yi said.

"Then let us address each other as fellow Daoists," Willow God said calmly, her expression unruffled.

This was also Willow God's first time meeting Xu Yi in person. Her first impression was that she could not see through him. His realm was mysterious—seemingly plain and unremarkable, yet as if he had returned to simplicity, transcending the mundane and entering sainthood.

"Fine, Fellow Daoist Willow God. You're much prettier than you were in the livestream," Xu Yi praised.

Those with low cultivation could not clearly see Willow God's face, as though a veil of light covered it.

But Xu Yi could see it clearly. It was a beauty beyond description.

"It is merely an outward appearance. My true body is only a Willow Tree, without gender," Willow God said.

"Haha, that makes sense," Xu Yi said with a laugh.

"Please, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Willow God led Xu Yi into the Dao Field. It was vast, like a Small World, yet Willow God was its only inhabitant. Apart from her, there were only Spirit Beasts and Immortal Cranes and the like.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exceptionally abundant here. Even without cultivating, living for a thousand years would be easy.

The Immortal Ancient Era had originally been one of the most prosperous and flourishing eras among countless epochs.

Unfortunately, it encountered the Foreign Land and dark beings such as the Kings of Immortality, and the entire era was ultimately destroyed.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Willow God went straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist Xu, I invited you here for two reasons. First, to discuss the Dao. Second, to explore opportunities for attaining the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, or even becoming an Immortal Emperor."

"Fellow Daoist Willow God, I will not hide it from you. When it comes to experience in cultivation, I may not be much better than you. My path of cultivation has been very mysterious and difficult to explain."

Xu Yi took a sip of Willow God's Enlightenment Tea. It refreshed his heart and mind, leaving him in high spirits.

"Even if our worlds are different, surely there are principles that can be applied by analogy. Fellow Daoist Xu, compared to an Immortal Emperor, how strong are you?" Willow God asked.

"I don't know. I've never fought one," Xu Yi replied.

A trace of disappointment appeared on Willow God's face. She was confident that she could touch the threshold of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, perhaps even the Immortal Emperor Realm, but this era had already reached its end. She did not have much time left.

Without becoming an Immortal Emperor, she could not change the situation of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths and the Foreign Land, nor could she quell the Black Calamity.

"But if we really fought, Fellow Daoist Willow God, I am still confident I could slay one," Xu Yi said.

"Immortal Emperors are eternal and indestructible, transcending life and death. They can no longer be killed, can they?" Willow God said.

"Perhaps."

"Willow God, I know your heart is wholly set upon the Dao. You wish to step into a realm that no one before you has reached.

"Since I am here, I cannot let you down. For the sake of this Enlightenment Tea alone, I have to lend you a hand.

"Whether you can seize this opportunity, however, depends on you." Xu Yi said.

"Please enlighten me." Willow God's expression became solemn.

Xu Yi raised a hand. A gleam containing profound Dao Rhyme emerged at his fingertip. He wrote an ancient, intricate character in the Void and asked, "Can you see it clearly?"

Willow God nodded. "Yes."

Her Primordial Spirit trembled, and her mind was shaken as though struck by a great bell. She unexpectedly experienced the long-lost feeling of sudden enlightenment, as endless profound insights arose from nothing.

This was only one character, yet it loosened her cultivation and gave her the exhilarating sensation of soaring ninety thousand miles into the sky.

Xu Yi continued writing the next character, and Willow God remained unharmed.

So he continued. When he gradually wrote the ninth character, blood began to flow from Willow God's seven orifices. She struggled to imprint them upon her Primordial Spirit.

Xu Yi stopped at that point. It seemed the Nine Characters were already the limit of what Willow God could endure. If he continued, her Primordial Spirit might explode outright.

Nine was the ultimate number, the end of the Dao. Perhaps that was heaven's will.

These Nine Characters were actually a passage from the incomplete volume of Xu Yi's cultivation technique. They contained the true meaning of the supreme Great Dao, directly explaining the Origin of all Daos and dissecting the essence of all things.

Previously, Keisha, He Xi, and Di Lena had nearly exploded after looking at just one character.

Willow God had viewed nine characters and even imprinted them upon her Primordial Spirit to comprehend them. This showed how profound her cultivation was and how powerful her will had become.

Spiritual world.

Above the Spirit Sea, nine intricate and ancient characters manifested. Thunder and Lightning raged throughout the spiritual world, bolts flashed and thunder roared, while boundless tempestuous waves destroyed everything.

Willow God stood atop a small boat, resisting the immense majesty of the Nine Characters as she began comprehending their essence and mysteries.

In truth, Willow God did not recognize these nine characters. It was as though they had never existed before!

Yet each character represented a Dao, or perhaps contained all Daos. Every moment and every second held endless transformations. Merely staring at them for a few seconds was enough to make one's soul feel as if it would split apart.

"Such an opportunity cannot be wasted. The Nine Characters can lead me directly to the Origin of the Great Dao, allowing me to comprehend the essence of the laws of all Daos and reach the moment of creation."

Never before had Willow God felt the true Great Dao of heaven and earth so clearly. This was not the Dao of her own world.

The Dao of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths was the acquired Dao, comprehended by predecessors amid mountains, rivers, lakes, wind, rain, Thunder and Lightning, then inscribed into heaven and earth.

To surpass one's predecessors, one could only step upon the Dao they had left behind and climb upward step by step, nurturing an Invincible Dao Heart.

As time passed, Willow God entered a state of enlightenment. The Nine Characters automatically broke apart, transforming into the meridian diagram of a scripture containing roughly ten thousand characters. It was clearly the formula of a cultivation technique.

"Immortal Emperor scripture... No, a scripture that surpasses the Immortal Emperor Realm..."

Within her enlightenment, Willow God sensed the mysteries and foundation of this cultivation technique. It was simply too profound.

In the outside world, with the support of the technique, Willow God no longer had any bottleneck in the Immortal King Realm and was about to step into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

But the Divine Phenomenon of breaking through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm was far too terrifying. Xu Yi set up a barrier and erased every trace of the breakthrough's aura, preventing the outside world from sensing anything at all.

After a long while, Willow God awakened from her enlightenment. Her realm had completely advanced from the peak of the Immortal King Realm into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, rather than remaining an Immortal King who had merely produced a trace of Emperor Light.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I have no way to repay such grace..." Willow God said, a trace of gratitude appearing on her sacred and pure face.

"That is enough. Being able to comprehend it was your own opportunity, Fellow Daoist Willow God," Xu Yi said with a smile.

"An opportunity? Without you, how could I have had this opportunity?" Willow God said.

Hearing that, Xu Yi stepped closer and asked, "If you truly wish to repay me, Willow God, would you be willing to do anything?"

Seeing Xu Yi's suddenly somewhat improper yet kindly smile, a blush appeared on Willow God's face, though it vanished in an instant.

"Say it, Fellow Daoist Xu. If it is something I can do, I will certainly give it my all," Willow God said.

"Hahaha, I haven't thought of anything yet. We can talk about it another day." Xu Yi could not help laughing.

"Talk about it another day?" Willow God murmured.

"Sit. Let us continue discussing the Dao and drinking tea." Xu Yi waved his hand.
