Immortal Essence

After the Chaos Green Lotus fell into the Chaos Bitter Sea, it seemed innately compatible with it, resonating with the Bitter Sea as a special connection formed between them.

The somewhat damaged Chaos Green Lotus Seed showed signs of recovery under the nourishment of Chaos Qi.

Though it was extremely faint, as time passed, the Chaos Green Lotus Seed would eventually complete its Nirvana.

The Moon Laurel Divine Tree swayed slightly, casting down cool Taiyin Power.

Immediately after, the Fusang Divine Tree also cast down Sun Power.

The moment Taiyin Power and Sun Power collided, they fused together in Taiyin and Sun Harmony, transforming into a strand of Fortune Qi.

This Fortune Qi surged into the Chaos Green Lotus Seed, accelerating its Nirvana.

Chaos Planting Azure Lotus! This was the karma of the Chaos Green Lotus, as well as Chen Zhao's supreme opportunity.

The Chaos Green Lotus had originally been Innate Life nurtured by Chaos and was naturally compatible with Chaos.

Now that the Chaos Green Lotus Seed was undergoing Nirvana and incubation within Chen Zhao's Chaos Bitter Sea, it benefited them both.

During the Chaos Green Lotus's Nirvana, Chen Zhao could immerse himself in observing the entire process, thereby living out his Second Life.

The two had now formed a special connection, one with an exceedingly subtle relationship.

"I never expected to obtain the Chaos Green Lotus I had longed for so easily."

Under normal circumstances, in the Later Generations, the Chaos Green Lotus would take root upon the Green Copper Fragment of the Becoming Immortal Cauldron and grow there.

The Vast Divine War of the Ancient Era had yet to occur, and the Becoming Immortal Cauldron had not yet shattered. The Chaos Green Lotus had instead taken root within this Small World.

"This Small World is probably far more than it appears." Chen Zhao looked toward the Small World.

Phoenix does not perch on non-paulownia trees.

For the Chaos Green Lotus Seed to exist here, this place could not possibly be ordinary.

His gaze swept across the entire Small World. The Immortal Spiritual Energy within it was all emitted by this lake.

Previously, the Chaos Green Lotus Seed had remained dormant at the bottom of the lake.

Chen Zhao looked toward the lakebed, sensing that there might be something else beneath it.

He put away the entire lake of Immortal Spiritual Water and reached downward.

The earth cracked apart, the entire mountaintop shattered, revealing what lay beneath the lake.

Deep beneath the lake was a ruined Spring Pool suffused with immortal aura. It was only a little over a foot wide, yet it contained dense Origin Essence! However, the spring had already collapsed, leaving only a palm-sized portion of Immortal Essence behind, and even that essence was constantly dissipating.

The surrounding Immortal Spiritual Energy had all formed from the leaking Immortal Dao Essence of this ruined Immortal Spring Eye.

"I never expected it to be an Immortal Spring Eye. There was actually one here. What a pity that the spring pool has been destroyed, leaving only a small amount of Immortal Dao Essence."

Chen Zhao looked at the Immortal Spring Eye. His eyes first showed confusion before realization dawned, and his face filled with regret.

This was a truly marvelous treasure. It could nourish all things, nurture All Spirits, and strengthen one's Primordial Spirit.

After being cleansed by Immortal Dao Essence, one's Primordial Spirit could become pure and increasingly firm and imperishable.

In the Previous Era, Crippled Immortals had once used Immortal Spring Eyes to nourish their Remnant Bodies and souls, lingering on through them.

"What a pity."

Chen Zhao's face was filled with regret. This was a truly magnificent treasure.

The place where the Chaos Green Lotus Seed had lain dormant was indeed extraordinary. It actually contained a ruined Immortal Spring Eye left behind from the Previous Era.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Spring Eye had been destroyed, leaving only a small amount of Immortal Dao Essence. Otherwise, the Chaos Green Lotus would have completed its Nirvana long ago.

Chen Zhao put away the Immortal Dao Essence and carefully stored it, severing its connection to the outside world to prevent the Immortal Dao Essence from dissipating.

Such a supreme treasure of the Immortal Dao Domain would be difficult to find even throughout the entire Great Universe.

After Chen Zhao put away the last remaining Immortal Dao Essence, the utterly shattered Immortal Spring Eye immediately exploded, turning into dust that filled the sky.

With the loss of the Immortal Spring Eye, the entire Small World began to collapse and was gradually swallowed by Chaos.

Chen Zhao stepped beyond the universe. Star River Flowing beneath his feet, a Golden Path stretched toward Ziwei Star.

This expedition had brought him enormous gains. Setting aside the Chaos Green Lotus, which was most compatible with him, even the remaining Immortal Dao Essence was a world-shaking treasure.

If those Forbidden Zone Supremes learned of the Immortal Dao Essence, they would likely launch a Vast Divine War and stop at nothing to seize it. It was effective even on True Immortals, let alone those Forbidden Zone Supremes who had undergone Self-Severance.

After returning to Ziwei Star, Chen Zhao remained in the Intercepting Heaven Dao, entering seclusion to comprehend the Longevity Method.

After returning to the Intercepting Heaven Dao, Chen Zhao entered deep seclusion.

In the Depths of the entire Intercepting Heaven Dao, endless Chaos Qi rose and fell while Myriad Daos intertwined, displaying an extraordinary aura.

As for the Three Great Human Emperor Dao Lineages, they spread teachings to the Human Race throughout the universe. Human Emperor Temples emerged across the cosmos like mushrooms after rain.

Even in the remote corners of the universe, Human Emperor Temples were established, and faith in the Human Emperor grew ever more flourishing.

Looking down upon Ziwei Star from the Starry Sky, one would discover Purple Qi filling the entire planet, interwoven with Faith Power.

Especially in the depths of Ziwei Star, that ancient Human Emperor Temple emitted an unfathomable aura, as though it contained some great terror.

Though faith in the Three Sovereigns continued to spread, the Human Emperor who had proven the Dao in this era had not appeared in the world for ten thousand years.

Since Ancient Times, Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors had lived only a little over ten thousand years. Some in the world speculated that the Human Emperor had entered his Late Years.

During the era when the Human Emperor Reigned Over the Nine Heavens, the Myriad Races remained balanced. Though there were occasional frictions, no large-scale Blood Battles could erupt.

In particular, the Human Emperor's foundational scripture had spread throughout the universe. It was the scripture most suited for cultivation by the Human Race and was innately compatible with any special constitution.

A saying had always circulated through the universe: if one could comprehend the Chaos Ancient Scripture, one would grasp the mysteries of Chaos and transform oneself into a Chaos Body.

The once-rampant Ancient Races seemed to have been restrained, becoming far more low-key in their actions.

The Human Race had overturned its longstanding state of weakness, growing increasingly prosperous.

Intercepting Heaven Dao, the great hall in its depths.

Ten thousand years had passed. Newcomers replaced the old within the Intercepting Heaven Dao, and who knew how many cycles had gone by, yet Chaos Qi still filled this place.

Suddenly, the Chaos Qi here underwent a violent change, all of it contracting toward the depths of the great hall.

Inside the hall, Chen Zhao sat cross-legged, his aura becoming increasingly ethereal.

As the Chaos Qi returned, Chen Zhao opened his eyes. In their depths appeared scenes of World Creation and Universe Birth.

In the blink of an eye, every phenomenon vanished, returning to calm.

Ten thousand years had passed. Chen Zhao had not entered his Late Years as the outside world had speculated. Instead, he had reached his true peak.

His blood and vitality surged like a vast sea, hot enough to evaporate the Cosmic Star River. A single drop of his blood could shatter stars and carried the might of World Destruction.

Boom! The instant Chen Zhao opened his eyes, Above the Nine Heavens, the Chaos Great Dao erupted with terrifying might, making Myriad Daos wail and submit.

The pressure of an emperor swept across the Nine Heavens. Powerhouses throughout the entire universe trembled in fear, unable to stop themselves from wanting to kneel and submit.
