Xiao Ping'an looked at the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal and asked softly, "Do you know how many treasures are inside? Besides the Fortune Source Eye and the light platinum, is there anything else?" The little fairy atop the white turtle thought for a moment, then tilted her adorable little head and said with an innocent look, "I don't know. The Fortune Source Eye and light platinum seem rather ordinary to me."
"Although I lost many of my memories after falling from the Immortal Domain into this world, I remember that even when I was in the Immortal Domain, I could enter and leave all sorts of forbidden places and see treasures even more precious than these."
Xiao Ping'an carefully examined the primordial spirits of the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal and found that they did indeed have some scattered memories, but their memories of the Immortal Domain had almost completely vanished.
After coming to this world, the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal's spiritual consciousness had also grown muddled.
Sure enough, Xiao Ping'an saw some astonishing treasures among his fragments of memory. It seemed the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal had not lied.
The White Turtle Bearing an Immortal really had seen many treasures in the Immortal Domain.
Now that the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal had come to this world, he seemed to have undergone nirvana once already. He had not done so of his own accord; to survive, he had been subjected to a baptism by the Great Dao of this world, and only after nirvana had he survived.
If Xiao Ping'an was not mistaken, this divine medicine had been trapped here for at least five hundred thousand years.
Xiao Ping'an also found it strange. What had happened in the Immortal Domain during this Mythological Era?
Why did True Immortals or geniuses like the Undying Heavenly Emperor fall into this world every now and then?
Could the Immortal Domain also be under invasion at this time? Or was a great war raging there?
He had obtained the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal, but as Xiao Ping'an looked at the Fortune Source Eye and the light platinum at the bottom of the Phoenix Nest, he did not know how to bring them up.
He had spent two days here without realizing it, yet he still could not think of a way to get the treasures without damaging the formations here or the Phoenix Nest.
After spending a week here, Xiao Ping'an finally decided to give up for the time being.
This place had remained undiscovered until it later fell into the Undying Heavenly Emperor's hands, which meant that no one else had found it over those long years.
Or even if they had found it, they had died in that terrifying Chaos Thunder.
The old turtle could enter and emerge unscathed amid that world-shattering thunder. He truly was blessed with great fortune.
Perhaps it was because the old turtle had seen this Longevity Immortal Medicine that he had decided to seal himself in Divine Source and attain the Dao in a later age.
Rumble.
Thunder rumbled through the Phoenix Nest, and the Chaos Thunder threatened to destroy heaven and earth. Seeing that the Phoenix Nest would be ruined if he continued breaking the formations, Xiao Ping'an had no choice but to make a disheveled retreat with the old turtle and the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal.
Xiao Ping'an's clothes were scorched black, and even his body had been charred black.
With Xiao Ping'an's current strength, ordinary forbidden secret techniques could not hurt him. Only thunder at the immortal Dao level could do so.
Indeed, Xiao Ping'an had encountered Chaos Divine Thunder at the immortal Dao level here.
Not all Chaos Divine Thunder was the same.
Xiao Ping'an immediately activated the Nine Secrets: Zhe, and in the blink of an eye, he was restored to his original state.
Looking at the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal, Xiao Ping'an felt that this adventure had truly been worthwhile.
Its medicinal power could allow Yongsheng to live a new lifetime.
Yongsheng was no ordinary body of faith. Xiao Ping'an had placed great hopes in him.
If Xiao Ping'an could no longer continue down the path of a Red Dust Immortal and died halfway, then Yongsheng would be his hope of living on.
Perhaps, with that trace of a soul imprint within Yongsheng, he could defy the heavens and return once more.
After all, the Power of Faith was extraordinary. It could allow a deceased Heavenly Venerable to live on in the hearts of all beings.
Just like the Amitabha Great Emperor of a later age, who could be said to be dead, yet could also be said to be alive.
Thus, although it seemed a pity to give the Longevity Immortal Medicine to Yongsheng instead of using it himself, it was not a pity at all, because Yongsheng preserved Xiao Ping'an's hope of living on.
He was also a backup in case anything went wrong on Xiao Ping'an's path to becoming a Red Dust Immortal.
The blazing thunder was powerful enough to destroy vast stretches of the stars.
But here, sealed in by countless densely packed natural Dao patterns, it was confined to this world within the chaos.
After Xiao Ping'an emerged from the Phoenix Nest with the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal and Xuanwu, he looked back at the earthshaking thunder and let out a long breath.
Xiao Ping'an first took the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal to the Yellow Springs in the Underworld and let him soak there for a time. Then he drew enough longevity essence from his body and gave it to Yongsheng.
Then, as agreed with the White Turtle Bearing an Immortal, he had the old turtle take him into the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Ancient Cave on the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star. There, he entered the wondrous immortal vein and became neighbors with the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Time flew by, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ping'an, who had been cultivating and comprehending the Dao in the Underworld, grew restless after so long in stillness and suddenly wanted to visit the Road to Immortality on Flying Immortal Star.
He remembered where Emperor Venerable had sealed Annihilation Heavenly Venerable and Huashe Supreme back then, and now he wanted to see whether they had been sealed inside.
Flying Immortal Star now had Life Forbidden Zones on a far greater scale than the Big Dipper, and the number of Dark Supremes there was astonishing.
The Flying Immortal Star of this time could be called terrifying and mysterious.
The divine charm of the Great Dao emanating from it could be said to be the strongest in the entire universe.
For the greatest number of Dark Supremes had gathered here.
Emperor Venerable and the Heavenly Court had also made arrangements on Flying Immortal Star.
This was known as the land of the Flying Immortal. Numerous Dark Supremes had made arrangements here, hoping to take the lead and gain an advantage when the Road to Immortality opened.
More importantly, there were indeed places here suited to serve as Life Forbidden Zones.
Although Flying Immortal Star had been largely abandoned in later ages, at this time it truly was a place close to immortality.
Although this was not Xiao Ping'an's first time setting foot on the planet, its imposing presence shocked him every time he came.
Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky above Flying Immortal Star, and hundreds of streaks of Northern Pole Immortal Light flew out.
Xiao Ping'an saw at once that it was immortal spirit Qi from the Immortal Domain, seeping out through a crack in the Immortal Domain. It was a rare treasure.
Hundreds of figures immediately flew out, hoping to seize it.
Xiao Ping'an opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Northern Pole Immortal Light whole.
When the others saw that it was the Overlord Heavenly Venerable, they all bowed respectfully, then quietly departed.
The news that the Overlord Heavenly Venerable had joined the Heavenly Court and stood guard over the Underworld had long since spread throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. They did not dare offend him.
The Northern Pole Immortal Light contained a mysterious Longevity Substance. After drawing in a mouthful, Xiao Ping'an felt refreshed in body and spirit. It was truly delicious.
Unfortunately, such a thing could only be chanced upon in this world, not sought out. Unless one entered the Immortal Domain, obtaining it in large quantities was simply impossible.
He felt his primordial spirit and flesh improve by the slightest traces, and even the vitality within his body grew somewhat richer.
He could not help marveling that its effects were truly astonishing. No wonder those people fought tooth and nail to enter the Immortal Domain.
Gaining a nearly eternal life there was far better than fighting tooth and nail in this world.
Xiao Ping'an observed the place for a while and soon discovered a large number of the Kunlun Remnant Clan here, or rather, the Kunlun Immortal Clan.
Ever since Emperor Venerable had conquered Kunlun, the Kunlun Immortal Clan had fallen and become the Kunlun Remnant Clan, fleeing in disarray to Flying Immortal Star.
Fortunately, Emperor Venerable had not exterminated them all.
The Kunlun Remnant Clan was now scattered throughout the universe, and several of its strongest branches were on Flying Immortal Star. The Kunlun Remnant Clan was not a single race; it was more like a gathering of powerful Primordial Beings huddling together for warmth.
Ancient legendary beasts such as Zhulong, Huashe, Teng Snakes, and Taotie could almost all be found among the Kunlun Remnant Clan.
To Xiao Ping'an's surprise, several Dark Supremes of the Kunlun Remnant Clan were still alive in the world at this time.
Xiao Ping'an had originally thought they had only two Supremes, Huashe and Zhulong.
Mingyuan, Xuanyan, Xuesha, Shiyue, Wujian, Jinmie, Youhai, Jiejin, Yeshou, and Wangxu were all renowned Dark Supremes from the Kunlun Remnant Clan.
Some of them had already been killed by Emperor Venerable, while others had gone into hiding.
Emperor Venerable did indeed have formidable enemies, but he seemed not to care at all. Instead, it was as though he were using the Kunlun Remnant Clan as bait to lure out these Dark Supremes.
Xiao Ping'an descended upon a place where the Kunlun Remnant Clan had gathered and found that they were doing very well on Flying Immortal Star.
Relying on their formidable strength, they had occupied one astonishing dragon vein after another.
Coupled with their extraordinary bloodline power, they had easily risen to become a great force on Flying Immortal Star.
After Xiao Ping'an arrived, he showed no courtesy at all. He captured a group of Saints from the Kunlun Remnant Clan, but after searching their souls, he obtained no information about the clan's Dark Supremes.
When Yongsheng had come to this planet back then, he had shown no restraint either.
He had devoured many powerful members of the Kunlun Remnant Clan. The strongest members of the clan now were only Saints, all because of the slaughter Yongsheng had committed back then.
But Yongsheng had pinned it all on the heavenly soldiers and generals.
He had acted in the Heavenly Court's name back then.
Thus, although the Kunlun Remnant Clan had suffered heavy losses, they had ultimately not dared demand justice from the Heavenly Court.
As for the Dark Supremes who had gone into hiding, no one knew where they had concealed themselves.
Xiao Ping'an guessed that they must have hidden inside the Kunlun Immortal Bell, which was why their whereabouts could not be divined.
Otherwise, with Emperor Venerable's abilities, how could he possibly have let them go?
Xiao Ping'an tried divining their whereabouts, but he could not find them either.
Nor did he find any useful information in the minds of those Saints of the Kunlun Remnant Clan.
Of course, he also found traces of those Saints having had their souls searched many times.
Clearly, more than one expert had descended upon this planet, equally curious about the powerful Kunlun Remnant Clan.
After some thought, Xiao Ping'an immediately relocated some of his clansmen from the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star to Flying Immortal Star.
He also used the bones of a slain Supreme to forge an Extreme Dao Weapon for them.
It was to suppress and stabilize their fortune.
Their leader was a Saint from the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star.
Thanks to Xiao Ping'an's careful nurturing over so many years, the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star had indeed produced quite a few Saints, and even Quasi-Emperors had emerged.
They were indeed ready to settle on other planets.
Moreover, Xiao Ping'an had left more than one Extreme Dao Weapon on the Tyrant Body Ancestral Star. After all, it was his home base.
He did not want some other Dark Supreme to raid his home while he was away.
After gathering some information, Xiao Ping'an left, intending to explore the Road to Immortality on Flying Immortal Star.
In the forbidden zone where the Road to Immortality lay, numerous Dark Supremes had made arrangements, and Xiao Ping'an had also made some there in the past.
They had all agreed that no one could casually damage the place, or everyone would attack together.
After studying the Nine Secrets: Zu and the Source Heaven Great Dao, Xiao Ping'an had gained a unique understanding of formations.
He was naturally confident that he could enter the Road to Immortality and have a look without disturbing the formations here.
The many Dark Supremes soon spotted Xiao Ping'an.
"It's the Overlord Heavenly Venerable!"
"The Overlord Heavenly Venerable actually came to this planet!"
"What is he going to do?"
Some Dark Supremes were roused from their slumber by the vigorous, incomparably tyrannical presence of Xiao Ping'an's bloodline.
They watched Xiao Ping'an's figure in silence.
Xiao Ping'an passed through layer upon layer of formations and soon reached the central plateau at the very heart of Flying Immortal Star.
Countless enormous stone steles stood densely packed here, covered in closely inscribed Dao patterns that were linked to the entire planet and the endless great formations in the sky.
Seeing that Xiao Ping'an was about to slip into the seal on the Road to Immortality, a Dark Supreme could no longer sit still.
A golden claw shot out, surging with Chaos Qi as it reached for Xiao Ping'an.
An incomparably formidable presence erupted at once.
Xiao Ping'an casually crushed the golden claw and frowned.
He had not expected a Dark Supreme to actually dare attack him.
Although it had only been a warning strike, it was still an affront to Xiao Ping'an.
The Overlord Heavenly Venerable's mighty name shook the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and his authority had been forged with the blood of numerous Dark Supremes, yet some self-assured Dark Supremes still seemed unwilling to submit.
Seeing Xiao Ping'an dig out the Dark Supreme who had attacked and crush him to death, the other Dark Supremes could no longer sit still either.
"Overlord Heavenly Venerable, are you going to open the Road to Immortality now?"
"You've broken our agreement!"
A Supreme's voice rang out, vast as rolling thunder.
Xiao Ping'an simply stood there in the starry sky, the Heavenly Tyrant Blood throughout his body boiling.
"I want to see who says I can't go in," Xiao Ping'an said coldly.
Only a cold snort came from the forbidden zone. In the end, its owner did not dare emerge and fight Xiao Ping'an.
Xiao Ping'an had just casually crushed a Dark Supreme to death, and he did not mind killing a few more to establish his might.
Xiao Ping'an said, "I came here to see how things stand on the Road to Immortality. If anyone objects, step forward and let me see you."
Rumble.
His incomparably tyrannical Heavenly Tyrant Blood surged into the sky, staining the whole of Flying Immortal Star red.
