Undying Medicine

Chapter 17: Undying Medicine

The two Human Emperors had fallen only recently, and the foundations of their two lineages still remained. Even those who coveted the Human Emperor lineages could only bury such thoughts deep in their hearts.

In later generations, once the foundations of the two lineages had been depleted and their Emperor Weapons were gone, what awaited them would be the destruction of their traditions and the extinction of their bloodlines.

The Lineage of the Yin Human Emperor in particular was completely without heirs, its tradition occupied by its former servants and vassals.

The Netherworld would sooner or later strike at the two great Human Emperor lineages. If the Sun Stone Pagoda returned to the Yang God Sect, it could also grant the Sun lineage some ability to resist.

After hearing that the Netherworld coveted the Sun lineage, the Stone Pagoda Spirit spoke leisurely. "The Saint Emperor placed me in the North Sea to prevent a Dark Turmoil from reaching Ziwei Star after his death."

"Now that a Human Emperor has attained the Dao, this measure is useless. I shall return to the Sun lineage and guard against the Netherworld."

As soon as the deity finished speaking, a terrifying extreme-path pressure erupted.

The stone pagoda rose into the sky and flew toward the Yang God Sect.

The Sun Stone Pagoda stirred the Great Dao left behind by the Sun Saint Emperor.

The terrifying Great Dao of the Sun swept out, and the entire universe felt this supremely firm, supremely yang Great Dao of the Sun.

Everyone looked toward Ziwei Star, as though they saw a majestic figure in azure robes standing Above the Nine Heavens, seeming somewhat lonely.

For some reason, upon seeing that figure, Human Race cultivators felt an inexplicable sorrow.

A sigh seemed to faintly echo by their ears, filled with indescribable regret.

"Sun Saint Emperor!"

The upper echelons of the Human Race factions raised their heads and looked toward the nine heavens.

Feeling this supremely firm, supremely yang Great Dao of the Sun was like facing the sun itself, as though it would burn All Heavens to ashes.

Everyone marveled at the Saint Emperor's strength.

Yet no matter how powerful the Saint Emperor had been, he had ultimately reached The End.

"This is the Dao of the Sun. Could it be that he has revived?"

"No, he passed away long ago. This is the manifestation of the Sun's lingering Great Dao."

"The Sun's stone pagoda has returned. I never expected it to return only now."

Several Forbidden Zone Supremes awoke from their slumber after sensing this supremely yang Yang Way.

The Sun Saint Emperor had been powerful enough to live a Second Life. During his era of Reign Over the Nine Heavens, his supremely firm, supremely yang Great Dao of the Sun inspired dread in all.

"If one does not undergo Self-Severance, one will ultimately reach The End. Only waiting for the Path to Immortality is the Only One method," a Forbidden Zone Supreme sighed.

Though they had abandoned their former glory, they had endured through the ages. They could await the opening of the Path to Immortality and have a chance to explore the Immortal Dao Domain.

During these Years of Self-Severance, he did not know how many legends he had witnessed.

Nether Lord, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, Emperor Lord, Undying Heavenly Emperor. These people possessed heaven-defying talent, and their battle prowess could astonish immortals. So what? Had they not all passed away by now?

The merciless Years had buried countless Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors; only the forbidden zones endured forever.

The manifestation of the Sun Saint Emperor's Great Dao further strengthened these Forbidden Zone Supremes' resolve in their own path.

They had not been wrong. Only through Self-Severance and waiting for the Path to Immortality was there a method to become immortal.

Not long after, the Yang God Sect announced that the Sun Stone Pagoda had returned to its lineage.

The Sun lineage, which had lost the suppression of its Emperor Artifact, welcomed back its former Emperor Artifact.

At the same time, within the Valley of Tang.

Chen Zhao looked at the Fusang Divine Tree before him and could sense the favor it held toward him.

"Undying Medicines—the greatest secret of this universe."

Chen Zhao looked at the Fusang Ancient Tree before him and fell into thought.

Some of the secrets behind Undying Medicines were immortal herbs from the Previous Era. After being cut down a realm by heaven and earth and falling in grade, they became Undying Medicines.

Others were transformed from Immortal Kings who had fallen in the Previous Era.

Legends of Undying Medicines circulated throughout the universe. They were heaven-defying objects capable of allowing Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors to live another life.

Most Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors had an Undying Medicine following them.

According to ancient legends, there were thirty Undying Medicines between heaven and earth. Now, nearly half of them had disappeared.

By the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, half of the thirty Undying Medicines were gone. Some had been destroyed and truly vanished, while others could undergo Nirvana on their own and be nurtured anew.

According to Chen Zhao's speculation, the Undying Medicines that had been destroyed were actually transformed from immortal herbs that had fallen in grade.

As for those Undying Medicines that possessed the effects of Nirvana, they were transformed from Immortal Kings of the Previous Era.

Even if an Undying Medicine was destroyed, it could still undergo Nirvana and be reborn.

In the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, Ye Fan obtained the roots of the Human-Shaped Undying Medicine.

When Ye Fan transformed into a Mortal World Immortal, he observed an Undying Medicine revive from withering, thereby living another life.

The first Great Emperor of the Post-Desolate Ancient Era was a Human-Shaped Chaos Green Lotus, an Undying Medicine that displayed unimaginable talent and became an emperor.

Later, it even wished to evolve an immortal domain within the Immortal Artifact known as the Desolate Tower.

However, the immortal domain was a world formed when a supreme being among a group of Immortal Kings in the Immortal Ancient Era devoured vast numbers of universes.

It was completely impossible to evolve an immortal domain within a single Immortal Artifact.

The Undying Medicine Chen Zhao most wanted was the Chaos Green Lotus.

However, the Chaos Green Lotus had not yet grown upon fragments of the Becoming Immortal Cauldron, and the Becoming Immortal Cauldron had not yet shattered.

Chen Zhao put away his distracting thoughts. He could sense faint intelligence within this Fusang Ancient Tree.

Not every Undying Medicine could defy heaven like Azure Emperor and break free from the state of an Undying Medicine.

The Fusang Undying Medicine bore no divine medicinal fruits, producing only Yang Saintly Power. To living beings cultivating the Yang Way, it was an exceptional sacred object for cultivation.

Although the Fusang Undying Medicine could not bear fruit, one could absorb the Longevity Essence within it and thereby live a Second Life.

However, Chen Zhao had only just become an emperor and was still in his prime. For now, he did not need to consider Undying Medicines.

The Sun Saint Emperor's Undying Medicine and Sun Stone Pagoda remained sealed within the Valley of Tang throughout later generations.

As for the Yin Human Emperor, he also possessed an Undying Medicine—the Moon Laurel Divine Tree.

By the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, this Undying Medicine had not appeared either. It was unknown whether it had vanished into history or been completely annihilated.

"Taiyin and Sun, two Undying Medicines representing the Great Dao of Taiyin and Sun, along with the Chaos Green Lotus Undying Medicine—they are all the Undying Medicines best suited to me."

Chen Zhao looked at the Undying Medicine before him. This was why he had sought the Fusang Undying Medicine.

Taiyin and Sun Harmony could transform into Chaos.

If he could not find the Chaos Green Lotus, then the Fusang Undying Medicine and Moon Laurel Undying Medicine would be his next best choices.

Within Chen Zhao's Bitter Sea, endless Chaos Qi filled the air. A Divine Bridge interwoven with Myriad Daos appeared and disappeared faintly, leading toward the Other Shore.

The Bitter Sea of a Chaos Body was like an endless land of Chaos, existing before heaven and earth had opened, when all was still Chaos.

Above this land of Chaos, Myriad Daos intertwined, as though Chaos was about to split open and evolve into a world.

The Dao of Taiyin and Sun intertwined within Chaos, displaying the meaning of yin and yang revolving in turn.

Taiyin and Sun Harmony could transform into Chaos. Conversely, Chaos could also transform into yin and yang, into Myriad Daos.
