The old man looked at his disciple and said weakly, "Why are you in such a hurry to find me? What trouble have you encountered?"
Cao Yusheng quickly shook his head and bowed, saying, "I've come to inform you of something important. Someone is looking for me, bringing with them Longevity Medicine, and wants to see a survivor of the Immortal Ancient war. This is their token."
With a hiss, a beam of light shot out from the top of his head. Upon closer inspection, it was a battle flag covered with Xian Dao, but it was too damaged, with charred embers on the edges, and was too dim.
"This is... a fragment of the battle flag that sword Sword Immortal of the Great Red Heaven Calamity-Suppressing Battle Flag the Nian. It's amazing that a corner of it still remains." The old man took the fragment of the flag, his tone very soft, his expression unusually surprised.
" Sword Immortal immortal? That great figure from the Sword's Fall Incident?"
Cao Yusheng's mouth dropped open, clearly unaware that this tattered cloth had such a significant origin. A sense of reverence rose in his heart, and he cautiously examined the Calamity-Suppressing Flag.
Chapter 829 The True Meaning of Memory
The Calamity-Suppressing Flag, once a magnificent banner standing tall at the Great Red Heaven City, was adorned with flowers, birds, fish, insects, and the runes of the Three Heavens, making it extremely dazzling.
Now, stained with blood and weathered by time, this piece of cloth bears too many marks, the weight of time is too heavy, and all the wonders of the past are gone.
"Back then, the Sword Immortal of the Great Red Heaven, in his first battle after rising to power, killed an Immortal of the Foreign Realm from the Foreign Realm, retrieved the remains of the Third Heavenly Lord from the burial pit, covered them with a precious immortal silkworm brocade cloth, and returned in a carriage..." The old man murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with a ghostly light.
The Great Red Heaven Lord, the Yuyu Heaven Lord, the Qingwei Heaven Lord... they are all familiar figures. But they all fell in that battle, leaving only me to eke out a living in this Lifetime, witnessing the rise and fall of the world, and now I'm almost numb.
The cloth used to cover the bodies of the three gods later took on a completely different meaning. Following the Ironblood Battle Flag, this banner became the second ray of faith in the Remnant Primordial Realm.
In those chaotic times, countless people hoped that someone could inherit the mantle of the Immortal King Wuzhong and the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, drive out the alien invaders, and restore the ancient realm.
The Tribulation Sword Immortal robbed the Dao succeeded. As for merging with the Heavenly Heart, the ancient realm's fortune, shattered into nineteen pieces, was bestowed upon him, making him the last hope for the remnants of the ancient realm...
Cao Yusheng was deeply shaken; all the information he had learned from ancient books suddenly came together.
'The enemy besieged the gates, the king perished, and the court collapsed... Then a new King arose, restoring the crimson heavens, re-establishing the Immortal Court, quelling rebellions and pacifying the three heavens, defeating two renowned kings, and shaking the world...'
This is the powerful voice of the remnants of the world after the World Tree was felled and the Immortal King perished.
Although this ray of light was quickly extinguished, annihilated by the Foreign Realm... if one day we ever fight against the Foreign Realm, this battle flag should, like the Ironblood Battle Flag, be raised again, as a sacrifice to the enemy's blood.
Without a doubt, if the battle flag can truly be raised again, it will be a grand event, accompanied by fierce fighting.
"To be able to produce a corner of the Calamity-Suppressing Flag, I wonder which family of Longevity belong to, but the old man's days are numbered, and he can't help them." These were the words of Cao Yusheng's master, weary and filled with despair.
"No!"
Cao Yusheng's eyes were bright, and he quickly said, "The owner of the force behind this cloth suppressed an Immortal of the Foreign Realm from the Foreign Realm some time ago. Their search for their master might be related to that person's influence..."
The old man was taken aback, staring at his last disciple, remaining silent for a long time.
" Immortal of the Foreign Realm, outside, has someone triggered the Immortal Ascension Tribulation?"
At the same time, in the bronze palace, Su Yu awoke from his deep sleep.
This time, he awakened his memories of his past life!
In his memory, there were some things that even he found hard to calm down, which led him to understand many things.
"Where are you going?"
Suddenly, a soft voice rang out.
The woman's purple hair was loose, her body tense. Sensing the other person's withdrawal and their intention to leave, her expression became very complicated.
Su Yu ignored it, and auspicious clouds bloomed. Chaos energy appeared around him, vibrating together, and then he soared into the sky.
"No!"
The Dao Seed was shattered, ripples with seven-colored light. Upon seeing this, the Immortal Fetus cried out, its pupils trembling, its expression instantly turning pale, as if it had already witnessed the immortal membrane enveloping the seed being torn apart. This pain was a thousand times more agonizing than the membrane beneath it being breached.
At that time, she will find it difficult to remain secluded and will inevitably have to emerge into the world, which is equivalent to giving up a celestial-level Dao Fruit and being confined to the human realm for life. This is an ending that she cannot bear.
As Su Yu left, the restriction failed, and the purple-haired goddess lay prostrate on the stone slab, her face ashen.
In fact, the moment Su Yu entered the Heaven Seed, it was as if the placenta had been cut open. It would gradually dry up and then lose its proper function.
However, he was too powerful, and used his primordial essence to block the seed membrane, sealing the seed.
With the departure of this powerful figure, this method is certainly unsustainable... In other words, her arduous pursuit of immortality will ultimately be nothing but a futile effort. Thinking of all this, tears of anguish streamed down the woman's face.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly stood up and looked at her body. As her vital energy nourished her, her body gradually healed, returning to its original state and evolving towards becoming a virgin.
This progress is slow, but it cannot be hidden from this Supreme Realm Immortal Fetus; the trend is too obvious.
Then, she examined it carefully and was surprised to find that the Dao Seed was exactly as it had been, as if no one had ever entered it, without leaving any flaws.
It must have been that person who intervened, mending the heavens and sealing the earth, healing this condition.
The woman's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and she collapsed onto the stone slab, feeling limp all over. Her path of evolution toward the Immortal Dao Domain had not been interrupted, which was the best possible outcome.
In the end, the Dao Seed Heaven and Earth and her body were completely clean and new, like a purple rosebud about to bloom, with the Dao Flower adorned with dew, and even new changes.
A powerful law was surging forth from the depths of her body, accelerating her transformation into an immortal, which was extremely gratifying.
Apart from one nightmare, everything is going in a positive direction.
"I too have been born with a trace of Chaotic Blood!"
Looking into her own body, the woman's eyes shone, shooting out streaks of Zixia. Her gaze suddenly became more radiant than the Taiyang, illuminating the Void.
After a while, she pondered, looking at her graceful, virgin-like body, as pure as ice and snow, and had a premonition.
That person will come again, repeating what they did today, absorbing the Heavens form of the Xian Dao Laws within her...
Outside, in the Great Red Heaven, Bronze Immortal Palace.
Su Yu sat upright on the cloud, his fingertips like swords, tracing the intricate patterns from his memory.
" The Fortune Dao Immortal Ascension Method Destiny: Refine Heaven as your home, transform your home into your nation, gather the vital energy of all living beings, unite the hidden secrets of all paths, temper the dust and fire, merge your body with the ancient nation, supplement with immortal fruits, and establish your status as True Immortal immortal through destiny!"
" The Sacrificial Spirit Immortal Ascension Method: Spreading blessings throughout the world, forging Immortal of the Foreign Realm body with the power of one's vows, Ultimate Sublimation, one can attain the True Immortal status of the Sacrificial Spirit!"
" Battle Immortal Method: Battle Through the Heavens and Martial Universe, use battle to shatter the mortal world, triggering a calamity of war in the Xian Dao. Those who survive will immediately be proven to have attained the True Immortal status of the Battle Immortal Path!"
" The Slaughter Immortal Method: Enter the Dao through slaughter and achieve Immortal of the Foreign Realm. It can prove the True Immortal status of the Dao of Slaughter!"
" The Corpse Liberation Immortal Method: Traverse mountains and rivers, seek the most sacred burial Yuhua in the world, bury yourself and ascend to immortality; upon completion, you will attain the Immortal Fruit of Corpse Liberation Immortal!"
Ling Yu's memories from her previous life are all-encompassing, recording various methods to achieve immortality, some of which have been passed down for a long time and can still be found today.
Some traditions have been severed from their roots; the Immortal Ancient are visible, Chaotic Ancient Era are unlikely to reappear.
That Fortune Dao Immortal Ascension Method is truly ingenious!
By using the dragon energy of the ancient kingdom to catalyze the Xian Dao fruit, the two methods were combined to overcome the situation of low combat power after consuming the Longevity fruit and becoming an immortal.
After gaining some understanding of the Dao of Fate and achieving immortality, Su Yu nodded, finally understanding the origin of the Nine Heavens Immortal Puppets under the command of the Kundi Clan's Kun Zhong.
Clearly, Feiyuanzi of the Immortal Ming Clan, Kaiyuanzi of the Li Family Immortal Tang Tribe, Daohuizi of the Heavenly Song Tribe are all Fortune True Immortal.
These secret techniques, combined with the initiation of Xian Dao and the immortal fruit of Longevity, can greatly increase the chances of becoming an immortal.
However, in Su Yu's view, even with the blessing of the Golden Dragon of Fortune, such a celestial position could hardly be considered powerful; there are gains and losses in everything.
The Fortune True Immortal of the Immortal Ming Clan, despite his own fortune, was no match for Li Ruzhi, who came from the Far East. Although the latter also relied on the Dao of Fortune, his combat strength was largely honed through his own efforts, making him far superior to the True Immortal of the Immortal Clan, who lived a life of luxury, relying on the fortune of a True Immortal and the fruits of Xian Dao...
As the carving continued, the ethereal Dao patterns rapidly spread, carrying Chaos and Immortal Fire, and ancient runes emerged one after another.
"Crimson Dust Immortal Technique: When the world is depleted and the immortal path has fallen, one must tread the mortal realm, endure the tribulations of life and death, and persevere through the years. If one does not die, one can attain the fruit of the mortal world immortal path!"
Su Yu was deeply impressed; he knew so much in his previous life, even about the Mortal World Immortal.
He continued to guide the light, drawing it on his fingertips and slowly creating a line of unique characters.
" The Tribulation Immortal Method: Those who awaken King-rank Tribulation Blood can instantly prove themselves as Tribulation Immortal, stepping into the first tribulation of all ages. Those who awaken Ancestral Blood can summon three tribulations, with the Tribulation of the Rules of All Heavens descending upon them... After nine tribulations, the Dao Tribulation falls..."
"Snap!"
The moment the word "light" appeared, Su Yu fell silent, his brow glowing, and a piece of human skin floated out lightly. After a brief silence, the skin stirred, and dim mystic fire ignited in its sunken eye sockets.
Flames rose, and all the surrounding light fell away. These two clusters of fire became the source of everything, turning crimson.
Finally, it turned into a drop of dark red blood!
Chapter 830 The Dust of the Dao, Nine Tribulations Through the Ages
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
Deep within Su Yu's sea of consciousness, above the golden figure, layer upon layer of mist appeared, including flying birds, wild beasts, and even humanoid figures, all lined up in formation, their eyes empty and dripping with Immortal Blood, before flying off in one direction.
The bronze hall roared, the clanging sounds spreading like the howls of immortals, the wielding of gods, the intertwining of purple lightning, the bursting of endless thunder, and countless phantoms of the universe appearing, blooming in brilliance and then withering away in splendor. Finally, Su Yu's gaze focused on that drop of ancient blood.
With a mere swift movement, a vast amount of information surged into Su Yu's sea of consciousness. Dark red blood rippled, radiance soared into the sky, divine light reflected off bronze, and terrifying patterns burst forth, turning everything here crimson.
A thunderclap arose from the flat ground, and a vast wave, like a tidal wave, spread out, covering the sky and the earth, sweeping across the entire Bronze Immortal Palace.
Su Yu's brow shone brightly, and a human skin materialized, chanting ancient Tribulation Scripture scriptures. His talismans transformed into flames, moving with a sweeping motion, enveloping the area with an extremely eerie aura.
"All spirits of the world are trapped in the mortal realm! The Dao has Yin and Yang, and the boundary is divided into upper and lower..."
A vast, ancient Daoist chant resounded. The human skin, though withered and dry, still bore the traces of that drop of Tribulation Blood. Now, it revived, emitting a Xian Dao melody, accompanied by the howling of the immortal chains.
One person, one skin, the two faced each other there, a passage of scripture resounded in Su Yu's heart, the Daoist principles naturally formed, rushing into his consciousness, deafening and awakening, this was the supreme mystery.
Cultural symbols, like weary birds returning to their nests, and runes of flowers, birds, fish, and insects bloom at this moment, transforming into a misty rain of light that engulfs the listener's spirit, half sacred and half eerie.
"The Dao possesses a spirit, and all living beings undergo transformation, emerging from similar forms. Ancient sages took the seed to enter the Dao, their bodies merging with Heaven and Earth, paving the way for Dao Seed. The Yang take the inner, commanding the outer paths; the Yin take the outer, controlling the talismans and their vibrations..."
"The Dao has a body, drawing upon heaven and earth, refining itself in accordance with them. Sages of the past have taken their bodies to enter the Dao, transforming themselves into a vast universe, paving the way for divine and demonic refinement..."
In an instant, like a great dream of Lunhui, or like the whispered butterfly of the Burial King, translucent human skin fluttered, and runes flew out from its body one after another, like mercury pouring out, imprinting themselves on the Void, hazy and indistinct, making everything blurry.
"Boom!"
The collapse of the sky and the sinking of the earth were even more terrifying than this. The patina on the Bronze Immortal Palace was about to fall off, and it burst forth with surging green clouds, Su Yu was completely unaware of it.
This time, the chanting was so clear and real in his ears that he heard it all, plunging him into the deepest Dao Realm.
The system left behind by one of the creators of the Immortal Domain is being imprinted, and he is listening to it alone.
"The Way has a heart; through divine power, the soul moves ten thousand miles. Sages of the past entered the Way by capturing the heart, their thoughts like a torrential waterfall, clearing a path for the spirit to roam the great dream..."
"When the Way was formed, the universe was created, with the upper realm Shangqing and the lower realm impure. Sages of the past took the dust to enter the Way. The world is like sand, clearing away the dust of time on the eternal path..."
"The Three Realms of the Mortal World: Sealing the Body, Trapping the Spirit, and Killing Techniques... Condensing blood with dust, transforming it into the calamity spirit of the Heavens..."
The meaning of the scriptures is like a song, like a goddess dancing gracefully, with dark red dots that seem to scatter into one's limbs and bones.
