The Return of Numinous Treasure

Numinous Treasure Returns Chen Zhao sat cross-legged in the void, analyzing the Dao patterns around him. Emperor Lord's Dao patterns were extremely profound, involving the aspect of the primordial spirit. As the current emperor, analyzing these Dao patterns presented no difficulty to him. The function and essence of these Dao patterns were analyzed by Chen Zhao, thoroughly comprehending and grasping them. After analyzing the Dao patterns, he already knew the principles behind them and reconstructed the local Dao patterns. Upon deploying the Dao patterns here, the entire Xiantai underwent unknown changes, beginning to gather the residual fragments of Lingbao's true spirit from various places. These fragments were extremely minuscule and completely imperceptible; if the Dao patterns had not been gathering them, he would have been unable to discover them either. Could Lingbao's true spirit fragments still linger in the world? Chen Zhao furrowed his brow, immediately thinking of those special regions in the universe formed from Lingbao's remains. Those special regions lay across the universe, and it was obvious that those places preserved Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's true spirit fragments. This Xiantai also possessed a special contingency plan, which was being activated by the Dao patterns to gather the true spirit fragments coming from all directions. Chen Zhao could feel that the true spirit fluctuations within the Celestial Platform Divine Liquid were growing increasingly intense, no longer as faint as before. The true spirit is gathering and reviving, but the speed is very slow. Chen Zhao sat cross-legged, carefully observing the recovery of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord. Witnessing the return of a heavenly lord firsthand held immense benefits for him. Once Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord returned, perhaps he could learn the mystery of the immortal-slaying from his lips. There were also the untold secrets between Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord and Emperor Lord. A thousand years passed, and the originally solitary universe was suddenly broken from its tranquility! Boom! Four blood rainbow shot through the air from an unknown location, emanating an incomparably violent aura as a terrifying killing intent swept across the universe. Sword qi rolled, star rivers plunged, and the universe itself showed signs of fracturing. Looking closely, these were four dark red killing swords, their killing intent towering and wrapped in tribulation Qi. Upon each killing sword, terrifying immortal-slaying patterns flickered in and out of view, chilling one to the bone. Amidst these four swords lay a profound array diagram. This diagram was inscribed with Great Dao runes, ancient and mystical, resembling a creation of the Great Dao itself, and contained the power of slaughter and tribulation, terrifyingly immense. Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was complete, slicing through the cosmic void and heading toward Heavenly Soldier Star! The killing intent of the sword formation permeated the universe, and along its path, many cultivators broke out in cold sweat. They felt as though they were witnessing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, a scene of immortals falling, and their eyes turned crimson. "Is this Lingbao's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation? How could it possibly reappear in the world?" "Legend has it that this is a vicious weapon stained with immortal blood. Why has it appeared once more?" "Could that rumor be true? When the array diagram and the four swords unite, that is the time of Lingbao's return!" Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's Dao marks manifested, and the might of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation permeated the universe. Such a massive commotion manifested itself, startling even the slumbering forbidden zone supremes. Indeed, this aura was far too terrifying, giving them the sensation of facing the blade's edge of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord directly. Ever since the Mythological Era, legends of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord slaying immortals had been passed down. They had always sneered at this legend, considering it merely an exaggerated tale. Upon feeling the terrifying offensive power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, however, they were reminded of the rumor regarding Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord slaying immortals. Just as they intended to investigate Heavenly Soldier Star, they found that Heavenly Soldier Star was isolated by a chaos Great Dao. They were not unfamiliar with this chaos Great Dao; it belonged to the Human Emperor, whom they hated to the bone. Isolated by the chaos Great Dao, it was difficult for them to probe the secrets of Heavenly Soldier Star without breaking the seals of their immortal sources. "That place is the location of Lingbao's head, the troop-training grounds of the ancient Heavenly Court." Within the Immortal Mausoleum, an ancient voice rang out—this was Longevity Heavenly Lord, who had survived from the Mythological Era. In the past, Longevity Heavenly Lord had accepted Emperor Lord's invitation to participate in the Ascension of the Entire Sect, and had once joined the Heavenly Court. He still held a slight impression of Heavenly Soldier Star. "Could Lingbao truly be returning?" For some unknown reason, a thought that even he found unbelievable suddenly arose in Longevity Heavenly Lord's heart. Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord was as dead as could be, possessing no chance of return whatsoever. "What on earth did the Human Emperor do on Heavenly Soldier Star?" This was not merely Longevity Heavenly Lord's doubt; it was the doubt in the hearts of many forbidden zone supremes. Lingbao Xiantai. Chen Zhao quietly watched Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's true spirit converge. By now, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's true spirit had taken shape, transforming into a young man clad in a Daoist robe. This was precisely the primordial spirit formed from the convergence of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's true spirit. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which had broken through the void from the universe, orbited his side, exuding an aura of slaying immortals and annihilating the Dao. "I greet Numinous Treasure Ancestor," Chen Zhao said, cupping his fists. Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord opened his eyes, brilliant light flashing within his pupils before turning calm, and his gaze landed on Chen Zhao. "So that is how it is. My orthodox lineage still survives in the world, and moreover, a contemporary emperor has emerged." After placing his gaze upon Chen Zhao, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord saw traces of his own Dao teachings within him, quickly perceiving the cause and effect. "You have already proven the Dao; we can address each other as fellow Daoists." Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord had not expected that an emperor would emerge in later generations from his own orthodox lineage, and he could not help but sigh at the impermanence of the years. The disciples of his former lineage had pulled him back from the state of impending extinction, undoubtedly verifying the cycle of cause and effect. "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for rescuing me this time; otherwise, given my previous state, I could only have perished completely," Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord said with a grateful tone. He knew his previous state had been extremely dangerous, with only a sliver of vitality remaining, ready to be extinguished at any moment. "Fellow Daoist need stand on no ceremony. Saving you is also fulfilling myself," Chen Zhao said. While observing the recovery of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, he had also gained insights of his own. "I wonder why Numinous Treasure Fellow Daoist was reduced to this state?" Chen Zhao asked with curiosity in his tone. He did not hold back, getting straight to the point with his inquiry. Hearing this, a sorrowful expression appeared on Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's face, and he sighed. "In the past, I lived three extra lives as the Honored One of the Human Path, my achievements reaching the creations of heaven and earth, and my strength far surpassing ordinary heavenly lords." "During the era when I proved the Dao, corpse calamities ran rampant, and many ancient corpses became sentient. To curb the corpse calamities, I even created the Scripture of Salvation, solely to resolve the corpse calamities." "When I lived out my third life, the greatest corpse calamity of the human world occurred." "A sentient immortal corpse appeared in the human world, attempting to devour the human world universe to mend itself." Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord began to slowly recount the cause and effect. He unfolded a history buried in the Mythological Era before Chen Zhao. Under Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's narration, Chen Zhao finally understood the past events. Because the forbidden zone supremes experimented with the reincarnation method, it led to the widespread circulation of the Reincarnation Seal technique throughout the universe, with cultivators everywhere researching the method of the Reincarnation Seal. With so many cultivators burying themselves, evil spirits were born within their corpses, creating a situation where corpse calamities ran rampant. Throughout the period when Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord proved the Dao, he was constantly dealing with corpse calamities across the universe. Even more, a sentient immortal corpse that survived from the previous era appeared, becoming the greatest corpse calamity.
