Brewing Heavenly Lord

Mortal World Immortals sought transformation and rebirth, life after life.

Every transformation was accompanied by the great terror between life and death.

Daoist Heavenly Lord's current state of transformation was far from promising. Like a guttering candle in the wind, he could dissipate at any moment.

"Did Daoist Heavenly Lord's transformation ultimately succeed?" Chen Zhao was rather curious.

Daoist Heavenly Lord had been a Heavenly Lord of the Mythological Era, yet Laozi, formed through the Emperor Corpse Spiritual Awakening of his imperial corpse, had only emerged in the Post-Desolate Ancient Era.

Between them lay the Ancient Era and the Desolate Ancient Era, two immensely long ages.

Heng Yu and Void's Emperor Corpse Spiritual Awakening had not required nearly so much time.

Especially in an unusual environment like the Ancient Star, which could further accelerate Emperor Corpse Spiritual Awakening.

After seeing Daoist Heavenly Lord undergoing transformation in the Path to Immortality Land, Chen Zhao gained some understanding.

Daoist Heavenly Lord had clearly still been active during the Ancient Era and had even embarked upon the path of a Mortal World Immortal.

Then, during one of his lives, his transformation had failed. He buried himself on the Ancient Star, and his imperial corpse underwent spiritual awakening to become Laozi.

"I beg the Human Emperor to lend the Heavenly Lord a hand!" The Taiji Diagram's Deity pleaded.

The Deity sent a sheet of golden paper toward the Human Emperor. Golden radiance flowed across it, dazzling and resplendent.

It was inscribed with densely packed characters, each one as brilliant as a star.

The entire golden sheet had been forged from Dao Tribulation Gold, gleaming so brightly that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.

"This is the Heavenly Lord's inherited Dao Scripture, along with the method he once used for transformation," the Deity said.

Chen Zhao's gaze sharpened slightly upon hearing this.

Daoist Heavenly Lord's method of transformation deeply tempted him.

Every transformation method was exceedingly rare. Daoist Heavenly Lord had existed from the Mythological Era to the present, so he must certainly have undergone transformation before.

If he could obtain this method, it would be of immense benefit to him.

"The Heavenly Lord requires a vast amount of life essence for his transformation, which is why he chose the Path to Immortality Land."

The Taiji Diagram's Deity explained, "But Dragon Mountain within the Path to Immortality Land has not fully opened. Instead, it has continuously leaked essence outward, leaving the Heavenly Lord's transformation caught between advance and retreat."

Chen Zhao fell into thought. The Path to Immortality Land had not opened and was instead leaking essence in reverse.

Daoist Heavenly Lord lacked the life essence needed for his transformation.

That was why the Taiji Diagram's Deity wanted him to lend Daoist Heavenly Lord a hand and replenish his life essence.

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Zhao's mind as he weighed the pros and cons.

If Undying Heavenly Emperor had been lying within that Ancient Coffin, he would have cleaved it open with one sword stroke and ground him to dust.

But Daoist Heavenly Lord had neither grievance nor enmity with him.

Replenishing his life essence would not require any great price.

Moreover, since Daoist Heavenly Lord dared to undergo transformation in the Path to Immortality Land, he must have left behind contingencies.

After considering the gains and losses, Chen Zhao nodded. "Very well."

After agreeing, he accepted the sheet of paper forged from Dao Tribulation Gold.

Chen Zhao did not inspect it closely. He stored away the golden paper, then looked toward the bottom of the Immortal Ascension Pool.

Daoist Heavenly Lord's condition at the bottom of the Immortal Pool was poor.

His consciousness hovered between life and death and could fall into extinction at any moment.

To lend him a hand, Chen Zhao merely needed to replenish his essence.

Within the Chaos Bitter Sea.

The Moon Laurel Divine Tree and Fusang Ancient Tree trembled faintly. Yin Sacred Power and Yang Saintly Power complemented each other, forming a force of creation.

That force of creation fell into Chen Zhao's hand. Yin and yang intertwined within it, nurturing endless creation and fully displaying the mysteries of yin and yang.

A drop of liquid transformed from Immortal Essence merged into that force of creation.

It formed a crystal-clear drop of liquid, jade-like in appearance and overflowing with rich vitality.

The Immortal Spring Eye was unquestionably an immortal treasure. The Crippled Immortal of the Previous Era had even relied on the Immortal Spring Eye to keep lingering on.

As the essence nurtured by the Immortal Spring Eye, Immortal Essence possessed effects that defied the heavens.

After merging with the force of creation formed by the intertwining of Taiyin and Sun, its effects rose to an even greater level.

Chen Zhao sent this drop of Immortal Liquid into the Ancient Coffin at the bottom of the Immortal Pool.

The Immortal Liquid easily merged into the coffin upon contact.

After this drop of Immortal Liquid was injected, Chen Zhao could sense that the life aura within the Ancient Coffin had strengthened somewhat.

"Many thanks, Human Emperor." The Taiji Diagram's Deity spoke gratefully.

"No need for courtesy. We are merely taking what we each need."

Chen Zhao said nothing more. Instead, he took out the sheet of paper forged from Dao Tribulation Gold and began to study it.

As Chen Zhao studied the Dao Scripture, he found that it contained supreme true meaning, its endless profound principles all gathered within.

In particular, its explanation of cultivation at the foundational stages was exceptionally profound.

What the Dao Scripture recorded was the Dao of heaven, earth, and nature.

From it, Chen Zhao sensed scenes ranging from heaven and earth joining their qi to give birth to all things, to the universe withering into desolation and All Spirits falling silent.

The Dao followed nature.

"Man followed earth, earth followed heaven, heaven followed the Dao, and the Dao followed nature."

By seeing the leopard through a tube, Chen Zhao glimpsed the Dao Daoist Heavenly Lord had cultivated in the past.

United with heaven, embracing earth, heaven and earth as one—the Dao followed nature.

Another mountain's stone could polish jade. Daoist Heavenly Lord's Dao and Law offered Chen Zhao valuable reference.

But what Chen Zhao was most curious about was Daoist Heavenly Lord's method of transformation.

"Saintly Spirit Brewing Method, Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill Refining Method." Surprise appeared on Chen Zhao's face when he saw these two methods recorded on it.

Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill!

This was a legendary immortal pill, rarely seen in the world. It required an Undying Medicine as its main ingredient and countless refinements before it could finally be formed.

The Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill's medicinal effects were utterly heaven-defying. Even a Self-Severed Supreme could rely on its effects to survive for several thousand years in a flawless state.

Emperor Lord had once used a Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill as the condition to invite the Forbidden Zone Supremes to emerge and jointly plot the Ascension of the Entire Sect.

Chen Zhao merely glanced at the pill formula and found it extraordinarily complex.

Besides requiring an Undying Medicine as the main ingredient, it also needed all manner of rare supplementary ingredients.

Even an Ancient Emperor would struggle to gather them all after accumulating resources for half a lifetime.

As for the brewing method, it was Daoist Heavenly Lord's unique method of brewing.

Its materials were equally extraordinary. It used supreme Saintly Spirits as ingredients, sealing them within wells and transforming the Saintly Spirits into immortal wine.

If successfully brewed, this immortal wine would be effective even for those at the ultimate level.

"Worthy indeed of the Brewing Heavenly Lord," Chen Zhao said with emotion.

Every Saintly Spirit took a million years to evolve into being and gathered the great fortune of heaven and earth.

Killing a Saintly Spirit easily brought boundless calamity.

Since ancient times, only Heavenly Lords and Ancient Emperors had been able to kill Saintly Spirits by their own power and dissolve heaven's misfortune.

There was still a wine cellar left behind by Daoist Heavenly Lord on the Ancient Starry Road.

Using Saintly Spirits to brew wine, Daoist Heavenly Lord was the first since ancient times.

Though both secret methods were immensely precious, what truly stirred Chen Zhao's heart was the method of transformation recorded by Daoist Heavenly Lord.

Chen Zhao continued reading, becoming increasingly curious about Daoist Heavenly Lord's method of transformation.

His purpose in agreeing to lend the Taiji Diagram's Deity a hand and assist Daoist Heavenly Lord was precisely for this method of transformation.

Every method of transformation was precious enough.

Let alone one that had been put into practice and successfully walked through.
