After some thought, Xiao Ping'an finally decided to move the immortal city to the end of the Starry Sky Ancient Road, placing it in the Chaos Sea at the Cosmic Frontier.
I placed it on the Big Dipper before, but now I realize that was a bit too naive.
As more and more Dark Supreme gather there, with so many Quasi-Emperor and Quasi-Emperor, these Dark Supreme can just open their mouths and eat. Isn't this just using bait to tempt them?
Therefore, after thinking about it, Xiao Ping'an finally gave up on the brain-dead idea of placing the Immortal City in the Big Dipper Star Domain.
The original Starry Sky Ancient Road had only 108 levels, but Xiao Ping'an really went all out and created 108,000 levels.
The peerless geniuses can fight each other, or they can fight against the phantom images of the Ancient Emperor Great Emperor within.
In the beginning, the marks left there were those of Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
Later, for reasons unknown, the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Heavenly Venerate also joined in, leaving many marks on the Starry Sky Ancient Road.
Inspired by these two, other Dark Supreme also emerged, leaving their own mark on this Starry Sky Ancient Road.
Everyone seemed to realize that this Starry Sky Ancient Road could not only gather the faith of living beings, but also gather the fortune of a race, which would benefit all the Dark Supreme.
That's why they're so eager to leave their mark.
Although their actions were somewhat unscrupulous, akin to picking the peaches themselves, Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable thought about it and realized that there were simply too many peaches for them to use. They figured they might as well share them and consider it a way to build good karma.
Anyway, no one has come forward to embarrass or maliciously sabotage Xiao Ping'an's creation of this Starry Sky Ancient Road.
Perhaps it's because the titles of Overlord Heavenly Venerable and Hundun Heavenly Venerable are resounding enough.
Of course, those Dark Supreme might feel that it wouldn't harm them either.
After finishing their business, Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable returned to the Primordial Ancient Mine together.
As soon as you enter, you can smell the fragrance of the Immortal Divine Medicine, the Chaos Green Lotus.
The fragrance was so intense that Xiao Ping'an couldn't resist the urge to grab the Chaos Green Lotus.
However, considering that he would eventually transform into the Azure Emperor, Xiao Ping'an gave up this tempting idea.
Of course, the Chaos Green Lotus was also quite sensible, offering Xiao Ping'an enough elixir to live a new Lifetime. Although he wouldn't need it, he could leave it to his relatives, friends, and descendants.
Then Xiao Ping'an arrived in front of a huge Immortal Source.
Above, there was a dazzling light and rising mist, exuding an aura of immortality.
Inside was an old tortoise with white hair, none other than the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu.
Although he looked very old, he still had the aura of an Ancient Emperor. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the same scene of stars fading and the universe changing.
"Greetings Overlord Heavenly Venerable!"
After regaining consciousness, the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu bowed respectfully to Xiao Ping'an.
He had been in this Primordial Ancient Mine for a long time. The Hundun Heavenly Venerable also cultivated and comprehended the Dao here, and he was already quite familiar with the Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
Therefore, he merely nodded to the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, but respectfully bowed to the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Having not spoken for a long time, the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu's voice had become somewhat hoarse.
As Xiao Ping'an looked at the Ninja Turtle in the original text, who, thanks to his racial talent, did not devour any living beings and lived to Ye Fan's era, he couldn't help but marvel at his truly astonishing racial talent.
This Ancient Emperor Xuanwu cultivated to the peak of the Great Saint in his Lifetime. Just when he was about to swallow the Immortal Divine Medicine to live a second life, he inexplicably lived a second life.
When his second life ended, he swallowed the Immortal Divine Medicine and lived to be reborn in his third life.
After attaining enlightenment and becoming emperor, he sealed himself away with a single cut.
Xiao Ping'an plans to have the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu try to live out his fourth life.
The plan is to have him become Saint Spirit and live out his fourth life.
Anyway, now that the Hundun Heavenly Venerable can open a passage to the Strange World at any time, if this Ancient Emperor Xuanwu really can't live to be Lifetime, then just send him to the Strange World.
Anyway, the Longevity Substance there are relatively abundant. If one can live in that world, each life can last at least tens of thousands of years.
In addition, his racial talents should allow him to live even longer.
That's enough for him to cultivate and attain enlightenment.
This old tortoise is actually a pretty good person. In the original story, he didn't devour billions of living beings, so Xiao Ping'an still has a good impression of him.
Therefore, Xiao Ping'an said to the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu, "You should have almost finished studying the Saint Spirit Longevity Method. I taught you the secrets a long time ago. You have comprehended it in the Primordial Ancient Mine, in the Undying Mountain, and in the Spirit Mountain. You have lived a new Lifetime, so there should be no new problems."
The Ancient Emperor Xuanwu remained remarkably calm. He said to Xiao Ping'an, "When a person is about to die, they may occasionally glimpse a wondrous scene of the future."
"I once glimpsed a corner of the future and discovered that I had followed the Overlord Heavenly Venerable to become an immortal."
"So, all I have to do is lie in the Immortal Source and wait for the Overlord Heavenly Venerable to become an immortal, and then I can follow him into the Immortal Domain?" Ancient Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile.
Xiao Ping'an shook his head. "The wonders of the future may not be real. What hasn't happened in the future means that it can still be changed now."
"If you don't work hard, you'll forever lose the chance to regret it."
"I urge you to leave the Immortal Source and actively use the method of transforming into Saint Spirit to live out your fourth life."
"As for the method to live a new Lifetime, Hundun Heavenly Venerable and I have also taught you a part of it. Just follow this path, and if you can succeed in the future, you will surely become the most powerful Xuanwu in history."
"You can't keep thinking about us helping you become an immortal."
"If you truly feel you cannot live a new Lifetime, we can consider sending you to Strange World."
"Of course, I also have my own selfish motives. I am confident that I can master these Mortal World Immortal techniques in the mortal world, but whether others can master them after I pass them on is really hard to say."
"Actually, I'm using you as an experiment, hoping you'll succeed."
Xiao Ping'an continued, "Didn't you say that you accidentally saw a vision of the future, a vision of an incomparably cruel Dark Turmoil, in which billions of lives would be devoured each time?"
"If you could also walk the Red Dust Immortal Path, master the Saint Spirit Longevity Method, mend the cracks in the Immortal Platform, and then summarize your experience and pass it on to those Dark Supreme, then they would naturally strive to cultivate further in order to achieve Red Dust Immortal Ascension."
"In that case, they won't devour so many living beings, and some will even die on this Red Dust Immortal Path, thus eliminating some of the sources of Dark Turmoil."
"It can be described as an immeasurable act of merit that saves all living beings."
Upon hearing this, the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu could no longer sit still and immediately emerged from the Immortal Source.
"If I were to hide within this immortal Immortal Source, I could certainly weather the Dark Turmoil unscathed and survive until the Road to Immortality to immortality opens on the Big Dipper and Flying Immortal Star."
"But what's the point of living millions more years like that?"
"It's all for the sake of becoming an immortal."
"If it were truly possible to achieve Red Dust Immortal Ascension, I believe even the most Dark Supreme would be willing to risk their lives on that path."
Even if they perished, that was their fate. They had tried their best, and they had no regrets in dying.
"Rather than letting them devour billions of living beings while waiting for the Road to Immortality to open on the Big Dipper and Flying Immortal Star, it would be better to let them embark on the Red Dust Immortal Path."
" The Red Dust Immortal Path offered by the Overlord Heavenly Venerable is absolutely bait that these Dark Supreme have no choice but to swallow."
"That's the ultimate, top-notch, open conspiracy!"
"Whatever you need me to do, Overlord Heavenly Venerable, just give the order. I will absolutely not harm the common people. As long as this path can be paved, I am willing to test the waters myself and personally pave the way for these Dark Supreme, setting an example for them."
Xiao Ping'an nodded. " Ancient Emperor Xuanwu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are a Supreme worthy of respect."
Then Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable once again carefully explained to Ancient Emperor Xuanwu how to transform into Saint Spirit.
In particular, the Hundun Heavenly Venerable has already gained successful experience and has transformed into the Hundun Saint Spirit.
Therefore, his discourse on the Great Dao was of astonishing value to the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu.
Saint Spirit will be born continuously in this world. They are all conceived by heaven and earth, and it takes at least a million years for them to be successfully conceived.
Some were born prematurely with low cultivation levels, while others were unparalleled powerhouses who could prove themselves as emperors upon birth.
Typical examples include the Spirit Emperor and the Stone Emperor.
Of course, many more Saint Spirit are imperfect Saint Spirit.
Legend has it that during the Chaotic Ancient Era, in the time of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, before the great changes occurred in the Heavenly Emperor, all the Saint Spirit Stone Embryo at that time were Immortal Fetus.
Upon their perfect birth, they directly became True Immortal, which is truly enviable.
The Saint Spirit of that time were generally kind; they would proactively mend the broken order of heaven and earth, and even do good deeds.
Unlike the Saint Spirit of today, who seem to have been corrupted by strange creatures, even those who have achieved perfect Saint Spirit are all filled with malevolent energy, wishing they could kill all living beings. For the Great Emperor Ancient Emperor to want to transform into Saint Spirit is tantamount to going against the will of Heaven.
They, like the Saint Spirit, are also the favorites of heaven and earth.
As long as they transform their physical bodies into stone embryos, retaining a trace of their true spirit, and their primordial spirit enters a state of annihilation, after being nourished by the essence of heaven and earth for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, they will transform into true, Great Perfection Saint Spirit and re-establish themselves as emperors.
This Saint Spirit Immortal Fetus can be either born naturally or evolved later in life.
The Ascension Great Emperor in the original text did indeed succeed.
The current Hundun Heavenly Venerable has indeed succeeded.
The process of gestation spanning tens of thousands of years is entirely under our control.
The Saint Spirit Longevity Method is no longer a theoretical method of transformation, but one that truly follows certain patterns, can be replicated, and can be learned.
Xiao Ping'an on some descriptions in the original text, as well as the gestation process of the Immortal Tears Green Gold Saint Spirit in the Undying Mountain, the gestation process of the Taichu Primordial Ancient Mine, and the gestation process of the numerous Saint Spirit in the Spirit Mountain, Xiao Ping'an could almost guarantee success.
Furthermore, given the personal experience of the Hundun Heavenly Venerable, it is almost certain that success is guaranteed.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Xiao Ping'an was also hesitant about when to reveal this Saint Spirit Longevity Method.
Before even undergoing the transformation into a new Saint Spirit Lifetime, isn't it too risky to reveal the news now?
However, after thinking about it, he realized that with the Hundun Heavenly Venerable and the Undying Heavenly Emperor awakening from time to time, and with some backup plans of his own, if there really was a blind Dark Supreme who wanted to ambush him, he would definitely make him suffer a terrible fate.
In the end, Xiao Ping'an decided to release the Saint Spirit Longevity Method as soon as possible.
After all, they often slumber for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, during which time those Dark Supreme could launch several Dark Turmoil.
Rather than letting them wreak havoc on all living beings, it's better to let them gather together as soon as possible.
They're all swirling around on the Road to Immortality; it would be great if a few "swirling kings" could emerge.
If they all die, it doesn't seem like there's anything to regret.
In the original text, none of these Dark Supreme who survived were able to help Ye Fan.
The only one who could help was that Ancient Emperor Shencan, who was also a guy who liked to lie dead all the time.
He lay in the coffin until he became Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and remained hidden in the Soul River until the final battle. Only then did he quietly escape, saying that he was about to subdue the Soul River.
It was another guy of unknown identity; who knows if he really surrendered back then.
If you're dead, you're dead.
Xiao Ping'an felt no regret whatsoever.
Although Xiao Ping'an knew that the Red Dust Immortal Path and the Saint Spirit Longevity Method were the right paths, those Dark Supreme did not.
How to lure them in?
The best and fastest way, of course, is to truly Red Dust Immortal Ascension, so that they will follow suit.
After all, the Red Dust Immortal Path is fraught with peril at every step. One wrong step can wipe out all the hard work accumulated over countless lifetimes.
Moreover, these self-inflicted Dark Supreme, if they wish to embark on the Red Dust Immortal Path again, must transform into Saint Spirit, undergo millions of years of gestation to mend the cracks in their Immortal Platform, and re-attain the Dao before they can truly set foot on the Red Dust Immortal Path.
However, this process of transformation of the Saint Spirit is also very dangerous; if one is not careful, one can truly turn into Shitou.
These lurking Dark Supreme might not be willing to take such a great risk.
Even though it's an open conspiracy, they might not take the bait.
Xiao Ping'an did not intend to eradicate all the Dark Supreme completely.
He genuinely wanted to cultivate more exceptionally powerful individuals to serve as his allies.
However, these Dark Supreme, with their malicious speculations, might mistakenly believe that Xiao Ping'an wants to eliminate all traces of the threat.
In those million years of transformation, Xiao Ping'an must have already Red Dust Immortal Ascension, right?
Back then, if these Dark Supreme wanted to launch Dark Turmoil, Xiao Ping'an could easily crush them all.
How to transform these Dark Supreme into Saint Spirit is something we still need to discuss carefully.
Xiao Ping'an, Ancient Emperor Xuanwu, and Hundun Heavenly Venerable silently discussed where to begin with this matter.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed.
On this day, Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable suddenly extended an invitation to many Dark Supreme, inviting them to visit the Primordial Ancient Mine.
Many of the Dark Supreme who received the invitation were also very surprised.
Because they had been lurking in the restricted area, they had always kept to themselves and Xiao Ping'an.
But this time, Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable had somehow gotten together, and the two of them actually extended an invitation together.
Everyone has long been very curious about the legendary Primordial Ancient Mine, and some even wanted to enter Primordial Ancient Mine, but they were all rejected by the aloof Hundun Heavenly Venerable.
At this rare moment, an invitation was extended, and many Dark Supreme responded immediately.
Seeing that most of the Dark Supreme Dark Supreme come out, and a few had politely declined the invitations, Xiao Ping'an was quite satisfied.
After all, he didn't expect to fool everyone at once.
If even a portion of them embark on this path of immortality under the Saint Spirit, and learn of the method to repair the cracks in the Immortal Platform, they can return to their peak, possessing the strength of a supreme Supreme and Ancient Emperor, and live a new Lifetime. They might even be able to continue along the Red Dust Immortal Path.
Then someone will inevitably follow suit, after all, the power of role models is boundless.
Numerous Dark Supreme arrived at the Primordial Ancient Mine, each emanating an aura of earth-shattering power.
They looked at Hundun Heavenly Venerable and Xiao Ping'an with great curiosity.
They entered the Primordial Ancient Mine, and almost everyone received a Primordial Fate Stone the size of a washbasin.
After all, at this time, the Primordial Ancient Mine was still continuously producing these magical Primordial Fate Stone, and unlike later generations, it did not have so many Supreme lurking there, consuming a lot of Primordial Fate Stone.
They finally saw the white-haired old tortoise, which was none other than the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu.
At this moment, his body and spirit were already decaying and rotten, and the fire of his spirit was about to be extinguished, but his eyes still shone with a light of hope.
The Primordial Fate Stone and the Immortal Divine Medicine here are no longer enough to keep him alive.
If he wanted to live, perhaps he would immediately devour all living things in the world and have a chance to survive.
The numerous Dark Supreme who came here already knew what was going on.
Because Xiao Ping'an and Hundun Heavenly Venerable clearly told everyone that they would teach them a method of transformation that could mend the cracks in the Immortal Platform and allow them to return to their peak.
If it weren't for this excuse, none of them would have come.
Everyone soon saw the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu, and saw that most of his lower body had turned into Shitou.
Flesh and blood turned into Shitou.
At this moment, a bloody storm and various terrifying phenomena appeared between heaven and earth.
Many people, upon seeing this, immediately guessed that Dark Supreme was about to fall.
Many Dark Supreme stared intently at the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu, watching him pass away peacefully.
None of them expected that the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu had no intention of devouring all living beings in the world.
He was being transformed into the Saint Spirit, and everyone who watched was amazed.
Xiao Ping'an planned to take this opportunity to teach everyone this method of achieving immortality.
"The Great Dao of the Ancient Emperor Xuanwu is extremely unique. He is willing to continue the path for everyone. If you are interested, you can carefully observe how it transforms into Saint Spirit and lives a new Lifetime."
"According to our deductions, the Great Emperor realm should have nine levels, with each level corresponding to the beginning of a new Lifetime."
"As long as one cultivates to the ninth level of the Great Emperor, or lives nine lifetimes, one can Red Dust Flying Immortal in this mortal world."
"Although no one has yet been able to Red Dust Immortal Ascension, everyone should have seen the Emperor Venerable, myself, and the Hundun Heavenly Venerable. We have all lived through this life several times, and many have experienced our strength firsthand."
"Once everyone masters this Saint Spirit Longevity Method, if one day they regret their actions and no longer wish to be the Dark Supreme, they can use the Holy Spirit Method to regenerate Immortal Platform and take a new step in their own lives."
