"If it is really the art of immortality, those gods, ancient emperors, and great emperors will not disappear in the long river of time." Gai Jiuyou closed the ancient scroll, his expression was very calm, and he was not dazzled by the secret word "zhe".
"It was just a fleeting thought; I hope you'll forgive my foolishness, fellow Daoist."
The Saint Qingxuan shook his head, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind. In fact, he had guessed that the "Zhe" secret could not increase lifespan, but he still lost his composure in the face of the Heavenly Venerable Venerable's divine technique.
After all, this is one of the legendary Nine Secrets, the Zhe Character Secret that has been lost for countless years in the Big Dipper Star Domain. It is a forbidden secret technique created by the Longevity Heavenly Venerable. Even Quasi-Emperor cannot remain calm upon seeing it, and it can make Great Saint fight to the death for it.
The Nine Secrets are very special, representing nine paths to Tongtian in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and they are applicable to humanoid beings, playing a significant role in the Supreme battle.
For example, when Ye Fan destroyed the Tyrant Body Lineage in later generations, Xuan Ming, who had achieved the Great Accomplished Tyrant Body, had studied the "Group" character secret for countless years, but still could not depict the "Group" character secret perfectly.
After Ye Fan achieved mastery, he fought in the Reincarnation Sea and battled against the Longevity Heavenly Venerable. A large part of his success relied on the Emperor Zun's "All" secret technique. The tenfold combat power of the Divine Forbidden Domain allowed him to conquer Supreme...
The ailing old man nodded slightly, his eyes calm and composed, and said indifferently, "Let's watch the Emperor train his disciples."
He certainly wouldn't say that he experimented with the divine magic the moment he obtained it, as that would contradict his public persona.
Daoist Qingxuan also looked down, his gaze calm.
Although he had a past with these two girls, those worldly ties were insignificant and not enough to make him accept them as disciples, and they were not suitable for his path.
The purple-armored demon general's gaze was cold. With a casual strike, he sent a dark shadow flying. No matter how the shadow reacted, it was useless. He could break through all laws with his own strength.
"Bang!"
A figure plunged into the rocky mountain, leaving a bloody mark on its surface. The green rocks, stained with crimson blood, shimmered and gleamed in the sunlight.
At this moment, Lin Ying's clothes were tattered, his black hair was disheveled, he was covered in blood, and four or five of his ribs and chest bones were broken, making him look extremely pitiful.
She groaned in pain and struggled again. Through her filthy black hair, the girl's pale blue eyes shimmered with a cold moonlight, devoid of any warmth, utterly icy.
"They're nothing but ants, there's no fun in killing them!"
The purple-armored demon general, with a cold expression, took the little girl into his armor space. Gazing at the tenacious Human Clan girl, he merely smiled faintly, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Hearing her sister's helpless sobs, Lin Ying's eyes welled up with tears, and a dark aura swirled between her brows, radiating a murderous intent that seemed to reach the heavens.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to forget everything—her name, identity, and situation. Everything before her eyes turned into a gray mist, enveloping her.
At the edge of the gray fog, a faint chanting sound rose up, carrying an ancient and weathered aura, echoing throughout the land.
"The Way of the Central Heaven is one of tranquility and emptiness of mind, serene circumstances, unwavering resolve and unconfused demeanor, touching and evoking the Spirit Deity, and aligning with Heaven and Earth..."
Countless stars danced in her heart, carrying wisps of crimson light, nourishing her body and slowly healing her wounds.
Moreover, it drew out a power she already possessed: the power of the Yin Moon!
Suddenly, a raindrop fell from the gloomy sky, and beautiful raindrops filled the sky.
The next moment, the rain dissipated, and a cold sword light pierced the sky, like a clear moon. The purple-armored demon general trembled and stood motionless in place.
His purple-gold armor vanished as if it were air, and his physical body, formed from Chaos energy, exploded, turning into bloody remains that scattered across the sky, creating a rain of blood.
After slaying her enemy, the blood-covered girl collapsed to the ground, her eyes dim, and murmured, " Nannan, Xiao Ying, I'm sorry."
Everything was over, but her sister didn't come back.
"Why, why did I have to look for her? My talent is clearly much greater..."
Chapter 416 Ancient History Emerges, Five Sages of Ziwei
After the rain, wisps of mist rise from the mountains and rivers, turning the green hills into vibrant blue-green hues – a scene of summer's misty rain.
The mud and dust, carrying the scent of fresh grass, were moistened by the water mist, reflecting the crescent moon over the vast sea. Wisps of catkins drifted in the sky, lying on the clouds, turning into a hazy mist that painted this water town with a layer of ethereal beauty.
The next moment, the crescent moon shattered, and the pale blue light on the girl's body disappeared. She fainted, her face contorted in pain, as if she had experienced immense suffering.
The moonlit glow was dazzling and colorful, its light and shadows scattering and dispelling the thin mist. A talisman adorned with floating gold flew out, outlining a purple-gold divine path, carrying Lin Ying away into the Void...
"Smack, smack..."
On a jade table, a little girl with pigtails spat out two chicken bones, let out a burp, and a smug look appeared on her face.
Somewhat strangely, she arranged the remaining pile of bones into the shape of a chicken, with each bone positioned precisely, though it was only half a chicken.
"It smells so good! It's so delicious! Thank you, fairy! This is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious meat." The little boy was very satisfied. He licked the remaining grease from the corners of his mouth, licked his fingers, patted his round little belly, and laughed happily.
The slender woman beside him wore a veil, giving her an ethereal appearance, and her entire body radiated a white glow.
Princess Yue Ling glanced at the half-eaten roast chicken on the table, but didn't say anything, appearing quite aloof.
With a flick of her jade sleeve, a wisp of Yunfei flew out, carrying Lin Ying into the air.
"Ah!"
The little girl cried out in surprise, grabbed half a roast chicken with precision, and stuffed it into her bosom.
Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the meat was still there. Her older sister had never tasted anything so good before.
The woman in the silver dress turned around, took light steps, and flew towards the Nine Heavens.
Looking at the clouds in the sky and the mountains, villages, and rivers below that were gradually shrinking, Lin Ying's eyes were dreamy, and she felt a sense of comfort throughout her body, thoroughly enjoying the moment.
However, the little girl quickly stopped. She blinked, looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and whispered, "Where are you taking me, fairy? Are you going to help me join the Immortal Gate?"
You'll find out soon enough.
A melodious sound came from the moonlight, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, clear and crisp.
Seeing the immortal's gentle attitude, Lin Ying's voice returned to normal, and she said, "Fairy, my sister is very talented; even the Daoist priest on the back mountain praised her..."
No matter what she said, the figure remained hidden in the mist, its outline indistinct, and it did not respond to her...
"It took the use of the Nine Secrets: Lin to awaken her Yin Moon essence. Her Azure Moon Divine Physique is quite special; no wonder the Qin Sect didn't accept her."
Looking at the delicate young girl before him, Su Yu's expression softened; he was very satisfied with this disciple.
This Azure Moon Divine Physique possesses both exceptional talent and a strong Dao heart; with just a little nurturing, it will be able to unleash its dazzling brilliance.
"Ah... Nannan..."
The sleeping girl had a furrowed brow, as if she had encountered the most terrible gloom, and her lips trembled constantly, making her look very fragile.
Su Yu flicked his finger, and a magnificent True Phoenix flew out, its feathers covered with innate patterns and radiating rich Life essence. It entered Lin Ying's body and continuously nourished her physical form.
Amidst swirling Immortal Qi and flowing rosy light, the phantom of True Phoenix enveloped the girl, instantly healing her injuries and tidying up her body.
Under the influence of the "Zhe" secret technique, the girl quickly relaxed her brows and underwent a marrow cleansing and bone-refining process in her sleep, achieving an immaculate body. All the filth brought from the mortal world turned into black mist and dissipated into the world...
"Ah!"
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ying let out a soft moan and awoke from the illusion.
At this moment, her sister's cries still echoed in her mind. The Goddess was dazed, her pale blue eyes unfocused, staring blankly at the sky.
However, the sky was very different from what she remembered. It wasn't azure blue, but a pure and clear color, and the sunlight was dazzling, completely different from what she had seen before.
Just as she was confused, a cute little face appeared in front of her, along with an alluring fragrance.
"Sister, you're awake..."
Looking at Lin Ying's rosy complexion and snow-white skin, the little girl was curious, wondering why her older sister had suddenly become so beautiful, making her a little envious.
Without thinking much, she picked up a lotus leaf and prepared to hand the meat to her sister, but a pair of arms as white as frost suddenly hugged her.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the little girl had no time to react. Her limbs dangled in the air, swaying helplessly, unable to escape the two demonic hands.
" Nannan." Two streams of tears flowed down the girl's face as she hugged her younger sister tightly, choking back sobs, "This isn't a dream, is it? I missed you so much."
"Uh... ah... um..."
Feeling her older sister's tight embrace, Lin Ying's face flushed slightly, and she was almost out of breath. She stammered, "Sister... sister, I'm almost..."
At this moment, Lin Ying realized what was happening and quickly let go of her hand, somewhat flustered, afraid that her younger sister would disappear again.
"Cough cough..."
The little girl gasped for breath, recovering from her oxygen deprivation, and mumbled, "Sister, what's wrong with you? You're acting so strange today."
However, the girl in the clouds stared at her blankly, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "You... you really are Nannan."
"Who else could it be but me!" Lin Ying rolled her eyes and said in a muffled voice.
She felt that the woman in front of her was not just strange, but outrageous; the force she had just used had almost killed her.
Faced with her younger sister's little mood, Lin Ying smiled sweetly, her pearly teeth showing, feeling as if it were all a dream.
"I'm so glad my sister is still here."
Suddenly, a dark shadow landed in her hand, bringing her back to her senses as she looked at what was in her hand.
The meat wrapped in lotus leaves bursts forth with auspicious light, radiating a tempting aroma that makes one's mouth water.
With the delicious food in hand, Lin Ying was not tempted. She looked around and realized that she was on the top of the colorful clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, with Chaos wisps of mist engulfing her and obscuring the horizon.
"What on earth is going on..." The girl was filled with doubt and suspicion, her delicate body tense, and she looked around coldly.
The little girl raised an eyebrow and muttered, "Sister, you're acting so strange today."
"I find it strange?"
Lin Ying frowned and said, " Nannan, in my memory you were captured by a demon..."
"Stop! Stop!"
Before the girl could finish speaking, her younger sister interrupted her, saying softly, "While you were sleeping, you were talking about monsters and monsters, and you even said you were sorry to me. We were only separated for a short while."
" Nannan, tell me what happened today."
Hearing her sister's response, Lin Ying's mind was in turmoil. Looking around at the clouds and mist, especially the Chaos fog in front of her, she began to have some guesses.
"I went to Nanshan to chop firewood in the morning until noon, and then the Daoist priest's white-haired staff flew over... We rushed back to the back mountain, but found nothing... I met an immortal under the grapevines, who said I had talent and would take me to the Immortal Gate."
At this point, the little girl's eyebrows danced with excitement, clearly remembering the fairy vividly. She gesticulated wildly as she praised herself, then happily said, "I took the fairy to find my sister, and we found you sleeping under the pine tree. You only just woke up now."
She consciously deleted the post about the fairy taking her to eat roast chicken, because the experience of being unable to resist delicious food was a dark history that she couldn't expose.
After hearing her sister's words, Lin Ying's brows relaxed, and she connected all the dots, thinking to herself, "An illusion? Is it a test from a celestial master? But..."
Above the immortal clouds, at Su Yu's invitation, Gai Jiuyou was recounting matters concerning the Ziwei Star Domain.
"Seventeen hundred years ago, I traveled to Ziwei for a period of time. That ancient star was extraordinary, and many outstanding people emerged from the four continents."
"Among them, the most stunning is the Lord of the Human King Hall, Great Accomplishment King of the Eight Prohibitions. Unfortunately, he was ambushed in his childhood, his Immortal Platform was injured, and his chances of reaching the Saint Realm are very slim. The Human King Body, such an ancient physique, has not appeared for tens of thousands of years, it's a pity..."
Su Yu listened intently and heard Gai Jiuyou mention the Human King Body. A slight ripple stirred in his heart. As someone who had devoured the Human King Body, he had a lot to say about this physique.
