My heart is as clear as a mirror!
Gai Jiuyou gazed into the black-haired youth's eyes, his expression complex, and sighed softly, "This karma is too great for this old man..."
What are you worried about?
Before the old man could finish speaking, Su Yu interrupted him. He looked directly into the eyes of the Quasi-Emperor and said solemnly, "Sometimes I can't understand you. A peak Quasi-Emperor, a genius who has touched the Ultimate Dao Laws, yet you insist on your bottom line."
"Six years ago, the Immortal Medicine appeared in the Divine City. If I were you, I would definitely have seized it and then compensated the owner of the Divine Medicine. But you didn't. Why is that..."
Sometimes, you have everything as long as you're alive; once you're dead, you're just a handful of dust. What's the point of all that persistence?
Xia Jiuyou, sitting by the bluestone table, looked surprised as her beautiful eyes darted around. She was very intelligent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been accepted as a disciple by Gai Jiuyou.
According to Master and the Green Lotus Imperial Lord, the cauldron seems to contain a sacred artifact for prolonging life...
"Peak Quasi-Emperor!" Gai Jiuyou sighed, his gaze complicated. "There are no Quasi-Emperor now. The one in front of you is just a dying old man."
"As for your doubts, there are only a few Immortal Medicine in the world, with no more than thirty kinds ever appearing. Destroying one means one less. Immortal Medicine have unique methods, and only Supreme can grasp a mature Divine Medicine."
Even if the Divine Medicine undergoes nirvana and transforms into a seed, it will be favored by the laws of heaven and earth and will not be easily found by cultivators. It will only fall into the hands of people with great fortune.
"The situation you described has occurred in ancient history. There was Supreme who obtained the seed of Divine Medicine in his youth and was hunted down by a Quasi-Emperor. This situation seemed to be a certain death."
"However, the laws of nature change, and turmoil ensues. A forbidden zone emerges, annihilating that Quasi-Emperor, while that young Supreme survives..."
"This..." Su Yu frowned, finding the explanation somewhat bizarre yet logical.
The old man with the illness had a deep look in his eyes and said, "If it weren't for that, the Immortal Medicine would have been extinct in the last ten million years."
"Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is the nature of Divine Medicine. Someone as mediocre as me doesn't have that kind of luck and can't be favored by Divine Medicine. Even if I travel to countless ancient stars and traverse the entire universe, I still haven't found a single Immortal Medicine."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow, recalling something from the original timeline.
In the future, when the Primordial Myriad Races were born, some Ancestor King wanted to attack Ye Fan and seize the seed of the Kirin Immortal Medicine. However, Ruthless One was born and directly killed a large number of Ancestor King, and Ye Fan left Big Dipper as a result.
Sometimes, the path of destiny is indeed very special. With the existence of Immortal Emperor, the future self will constantly protect the past self, and no matter what, the past self can grow up and step into the Immortal Emperor Realm.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also have similar rules. Most of those Immortal Medicine are transformed from fallen Xian Dao. Even if they were cut down by the will of Heaven, how could they be destroyed by cultivators below the Supreme?
Perhaps, when Su Yu obtained the seed of the Kirin Immortal Medicine, some things were already destined. He was also favored by heaven and earth, turning misfortune into good fortune and disaster into auspiciousness. Even Quasi-Emperor would find it difficult to kill him.
Suddenly, Su Yu felt a pang of fear as he thought of something, " The Fire Domain, the gift of the Immortal Fire, was it all preordained? And the Immortal Tribulation Sword, Sakyamuni's Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifact..."
Many things seem unrelated, yet they are also ambiguous, like the Star Divine Tree, the Golden Crow Immortal Medicine, and the Human-Shaped Immortal Tree.
Without his appearance, the path these three Immortal Medicine took would have been incredibly arduous. The first two disappeared into the River of Time, while the latter met Heavenly Emperor Ye and was reborn.
In an instant, the laws of cause and effect surged in his eyes, and his understanding of the causal deduction method greatly improved. He exuded a vast and hazy aura, looking very indistinct, as if he did not belong to this Lifetime. He had been separated from the Purple Bamboo Forest, leaving only a hazy outline.
Several dozen breaths later, the mist shifted, and Su Yu reappeared in the bamboo forest. He stood up, bowed to Gai Jiuyou from afar, and said gently, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder Gai!"
"What kind of guidance is this? You are favored by destiny, and your future path will be smooth, but you will still encounter obstacles in the end. This Lifetime has been predicted by countless outstanding individuals, and the only certainty is that the Road to Immortality will open. Everything else is shrouded in heavenly secrets, and no one can know it."
The sick old man shook his head, raised his hand to look at the great sun of this world, which looked somewhat desolate.
Over the past nine thousand years, he has encountered too many things.
Starting from Central Province, he embarked on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, advancing triumphantly all the way. At that time, he was full of vigor and ambition, but he was also dejected when he was devoured by the Emperor's Tribulation, sighed when he failed to find the Immortal Medicine, looked through the mortal world, and felt at peace after his mind was calm.
His achievements in the Dao of Nature are very high, far surpassing those of ordinary Great Saint. It is precisely because of this that he can point out the errors in the Qingxuan Path at a glance. Moreover, he has been detached from the mortal world for many years, living among ordinary people while maintaining a clear mind.
A thin mist swirled around him, a halo emerged, and traces of time danced in the air, making Su Yu appear otherworldly and ethereal. With a serene expression, he quietly said, " The Immortal Road in this Lifetime is true. The scene of ascending to Flying Immortal in broad daylight is not far off. Senior, you can see it with your own eyes."
"The golden age has only just begun. Our journey will take us to the Immortal Domain Boundary Sea, to annihilate forbidden zones, to become the supreme ruler of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and to storm into the Immortal Domain. All of this will be achieved. I will lead them to immortality!"
Gai Jiuyou looked dejected and asked, "Do immortals really exist in this world?"
Even someone as outstanding as him was bound by the ways of Xian Dao.
The path to Longevity is exhausting, leaving one Heartforce drained. What good is standing alone at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths when you can only watch helplessly as loved ones perish and beautiful women are buried? This profound sorrow is something those who haven't experienced it simply cannot understand.
"Our world is nothing but an incomplete place. Countless outstanding people have been seeking the Immortal Road, all because the laws of Xian Dao in this world are incomplete, making it impossible to trigger the Immortal Ascension Tribulation."
" In the Chaotic Ancient Era and the Immortal Ancient Era, True Immortal Longevity appeared in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. These were the immortal beings that people talked about. A single drop of their blood could remain intact for tens of millions of years. They Longevity Undying, with the Immortal of the Foreign Realm physical body and an indestructible primordial spirit. However, now that the laws have changed, no one can trigger the Immortal Ascension Tribulation..." Su Yu's lips moved slightly as he explained the reasons for the Xian Dao.
This can be considered his weapon to break down the defenses of the heroes of the era of Shrouding the Heavens. No matter how talented they are, they will be touched by this ancient history, and then they will actively try to win him over. His image will gradually become more noble and be more easily accepted by the public.
The Emperor Zun's words back then were not as good as his. Nine parts were false and one part was true, yet he still managed to fool the Forbidden Zone Supreme. What he said were all true ancient secrets.
After listening to Su Yu's Xian Dao tale of immortality, the two Jiuyou Physique reacted differently. The girl in white opened her beautiful eyes wide, which shone with a strange light, as if she were in the clouds of the Nine Heavens, feeling very unreal.
Gai Jiuyou looked solemn and asked Su Yu about some things from the Chaotic Ancient Era, which he answered one by one. He even explained the origins of the Desolate Pagoda, the Immortal Bell, and the Immortal Palace.
"The affairs of the mortal world are numerous, Xian Dao to immortality is within reach. It's merely a fruit of the Immortal Medicine; senior need not worry about it!"
Su Yu, with a calm expression, bowed again, simultaneously nodding to Xia Jiuyou and smiling brightly. This drew a sidelong glance from the latter, who felt the figure in her heart becoming blurred; Cao Yusheng and this Green Lotus Imperial Lord really resembled each other...
People are very different. If it were Jiang Taixu, he wouldn't even need to say anything; the other party would believe him.
However, Gai Jiuyou was not too difficult. This outstanding person was somewhat similar to Xiang Yufei, with a pure Dao heart, and was one of the few good people in this Lifetime.
Gai Jiuyou's gaze shifted slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, his expression solemn.
He clenched his fist slightly, reached out and grabbed, his blood energy condensed, and he exuded a boundless Quasi-Emperor aura.
In an instant, the wind and smoke shifted, and all the laws of heaven and earth in this world roared and shook day and night, as if the world were about to perish.
The sky trembled as extreme Yin and true Yang energies surged forth, weaving together vast black and white Dao patterns. Thousands of strands of dark light descended, clusters of divine flames danced, and Golden Crow sang, all converging into a palm-sized golden essence, crystal Ruyu jade, and looking very beautiful.
"This is a part of my mind."
After condensing his primordial spirit into a fragment, Gai Jiuyou's appearance became even more aged, and dark black energy appeared on his face, making him look deathly pale.
"Master, what's wrong?" Seeing Gai Jiuyou's aura change drastically, the girl in white exclaimed and quickly flew over, her eyes gleaming, on the verge of tears.
" Jiuyou'er, I'm fine, don't worry."
Gai Jiuyou stroked his disciple's hair, then smiled and looked at Su Yu, saying, "Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time. I hope that in this Lifetime, as you said, we can truly open up a Immortal Road lasts for ten thousand generations."
Su Yu accepted the golden essence with a solemn expression, then bowed respectfully and said earnestly, "I will certainly live up to my master's expectations."
"I have only one request of you," the ailing old man said with a gentle smile, "Don't let You'er down."
Upon hearing her master's words, Xia Jiuyou's expression changed, and then a hint of anger appeared on her pretty face. Ignoring her surroundings, she asked, "Master, what are you saying? I don't want to get married."
She thought her master was going to betroth her to the Green Lotus Imperial Lord, and she was very resistant to it. Although this emperor was indeed extraordinary, no matter how outstanding he was, he could not move her heart.
"Haha... you fool!"
Gai Jiuyou laughed loudly, shook his head, and a mocking look appeared in his eyes. He found the feelings between the young man and woman quite amusing.
"I won't marry him. So what if he's the ruler of the dynasty? Besides, this gift was given to me by Palace Master Cao. What does it have to do with him?"
The girl in white was furious and started to act childish. She snorted coldly and glared at Su Yu as if she wanted to devour him alive.
She felt extremely wronged and thought everything was very strange. It was Cao Yusheng who gave her the Immortal Medicine, so why did her master have to return the favor to the Green Lotus Imperial Lord and even betroth her to him?
"Interesting. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when he's with Qi Qi," Su Yu murmured to himself, a hint of amusement in his voice.
He knew Xia Jiuyou's wicked nature in the early stages. He was a villain who would openly ask people to be his blood slaves and have their blood taken from him every day. Moreover, he was extremely arrogant, considering himself the best in the world, and he didn't respect anyone. He wanted to suppress everyone he met.
Seeing the girl's face flushed with indignation, Su Yu chuckled, flicked his finger, and a wisp of immortal light flew out, transforming into a black True Dragon that carried a candle in its mouth. It stretched across the sky, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, its body surrounded by wisps of dark energy, eerily quiet and serene, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.
"This is... the Jiuyou Torch Dragon Seal!"
Xia Jiuyou looked surprised. This secret technique was created for her by Cao Yusheng, who also taught it to her.
Seeing his disciple's blank expression, Gai Jiuyou sighed and began to reflect on his teaching philosophy.
Perhaps female disciples should be raised in luxury, so they won't be easily fooled. This secret technique is clearly inferior to his Nine Nether Immortal Melody, yet his disciple is obsessed with it, wasting time perfecting it...
" Cao Yusheng is just a name, and the disciples of Wu Shi are merely incarnations. From beginning to end, I have always been Su Yu, a disciple of a fallen branch, a person who has returned from the brink of death."
Su Yu's gaze was deep. With a wave of his hand, the Jiuyou Torch Dragon roared, its body shining brightly as it condensed into a black crystal jade slip, which landed in the white-clad girl's hand, leaving her bewildered.
Xia Jiuyou quickly realized everything. She stared blankly at the handsome Su Yu, her face turning red as she realized how rude she had been.
" Su Ming, Su Yu, indeed, even for an extreme power, it's a stroke of luck to produce a genius by chance, let alone three of them." Gai Jiuyou shook his head, confirming his own thoughts.
Su Yu smiled faintly and said, "Otherwise, in the Chaotic Ancient Era, there was a clan that produced three geniuses, and all three of them entered the Immortal Realm."
"Is he a member of the clan of that Desolate Heaven Emperor?" Gai Jiuyou's expression shifted slightly; he was very interested in the Chaotic Ancient Era.
Su Yu nodded slightly and also nodded to Xia Jiuyou. With a wave of his wide sleeves, he used the technique of Void to take the two of them to the Divine Medicine Garden in the Chaos Realm.
This is a Daoist technique he created based on the Heavenly Dragon Evasion Technique and the Great Void Technique from the Chaos Dragon Nest's " Myriad Dragon Scripture." Although it is far less sophisticated than Time Escape and the Movement Character Secret, it is very suitable for him.
In an instant, starlight flowed and Dao energy swirled, and a purple divine path stretched out, leading to another realm.
Before Xia Jiuyou could react, everything changed completely. Although the spiritual energy was still abundant, the active world law had disappeared.
This world remains as it was before, with layered divine rivers, crystal-clear spiritual lakes, Wuliang light emerging, colorful clouds painting the sky, and a shimmering celestial cloud enveloping everything, shining brilliantly, just like a fairyland.
Su Yu looked down upon this realm, his expression unchanged. His black hair danced in the wind, with a faint purple halo flowing around the ends. Thousands of auspicious rays wrapped around his immortal body, making him appear incomparably ethereal.
He murmured to himself, "Now that my foundation is solid, what if even the Forbidden Zone Supreme covets me? I fear no one, not even the Forbidden Zone itself."
All of this was destined long ago, especially when he was being predicted by the Forbidden Zone Supreme, he was already thinking about how to deal with it.
Although the Beginningless Bell Soul can protect him, the Heavenly Emperor Artifact needs to be dormant for a long time, and is ultimately no match for a true Supreme.
Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only three could withstand the Supreme: Ning Fei, Chuan Ying, who had sealed himself away and had not yet emerged, and Gai Jiuyou, who was still in the Big Dipper.
These three have reached the limit of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and can manipulate the Imperial Dao Laws to fight against the Supreme.
However, the first two are stronger. After all, these two First Divine General drank the blood of the Heavenly Emperor and ate the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. They lived much longer than Gai Jiuyou and achieved enlightenment in a truly Alternative Dao Attainment.
Gai Jiuyou, on the other hand, was less fortunate. In his later years, he was unable to control his blood and energy, and fell to the Great Saint Realm.
For Su Yu, the first two have not yet been born and can be disregarded; his only choice is Gai Jiuyou.
Although Gai Jiuyou's blood and energy are depleted, he has never taken the Immortal Medicine and can be Lifetime. If he takes another step forward, he will be able to rival the Supreme.
For Su Yu, obtaining the Immortal Medicine was not a difficult task.
He lacks nothing except Supreme combat power.
In order to cling to this powerful figure and become a good Angels investor, he went to great lengths, disregarding all shame, and used his status as a Dao- Severing the Dao expert to scheme against a girl from the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, hoping to become her son-in-law.
Once we're family, everything will be fine.
Five Immortal Divine Medicine, various king- Medicine King, dozens of imperial Dao Scripture, Nine Secrets divine techniques—he could provide anything Su Yu could.
With Gai Jiuyou's talent and so many divine objects by his side, taking another half step forward would be no problem, entering Alternative Dao Attainment to enlightenment would be no problem, and it would be even better if he could seize the throne of the Golden Crow.
These were things he had planned long ago.
Even if the trip to Purple Mountain doesn't go smoothly and Su Yu fails to obtain the Immortal Medicine, he will still risk entering the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to collect all the sacred herbs, which would have the same effect as the Nine Marvels Immortal Medicine.
