The Cosmic Frontier, cold, and dark.
Here lie vast seas of Hundun, Hundun terrifying destructive power coexists with the potential to give birth to life.
Amidst the cold, dark changes of the universe, a divine light streaked across the sky.
It was the Emperor Venerable himself.
He's coming here to refine medicine, to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
As for why he didn't refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill in the Heavenly Court, it was naturally because refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill would cause too much of a commotion, and the terrifying lightning tribulation might really destroy the Heavenly Court.
Refining elixirs in this Cosmic Frontier might attract the covetous eyes of other Dark Supreme, but the Emperor Venerable has absolute confidence that if anyone dares to steal it, he won't hesitate to devour that foolish Dark Supreme.
The Emperor Venerable quickly arrived at a mysterious, desolate planet. After breaking the seal, he discovered that it was actually a sealed divine land.
Inside, there is a mysterious flame that emits nine colors, just like Immortal Fire.
If Xiao Ping'an were here, he would surely be amazed, never imagining that besides the divine fire in the Fire Domain, there was actually a flame in this world that could rival it.
At the center of these nine-colored flames is a dreamlike firebird, much like a Phoenix, yet distinctly different.
As the flames flickered, it became clear that the firebird was composed of fire runes.
The Emperor Venerable originally intended to use the fire of the Fire Domain in the Underworld to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. However, he accidentally obtained a True Immortal True Immortal Flame in the Immortal Domain Rift. He treasured it greatly and planned to use it to refine the pill.
The flames surged, revealing countless immortal runes, making it appear extremely mysterious.
The Emperor Venerable took out his Immortal Ascension Cauldron, which contained countless rare and precious materials for refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
Countless flames billowed forth, countless immortal runes manifested, the myriad paths of heaven and earth roared, and the Immortal Ascension Cauldron rose and fell in the mysterious flames.
One beam of light after another flew out from the Emperor Venerable's body and into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
One rare and precious material after another, each one enough to astound the world.
One of them was an Immortal Divine Medicine, a fruit shaped like a human, radiating an astonishing life force. There was also a tree trunk shaped like a human, similarly radiating an astonishing life force.
Clearly, that is the Emperor Venerable's Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine.
These Immortal Divine Medicine are the main ingredients for refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
It also incorporates numerous rare and precious natural ingredients.
Countless rare and precious materials flew into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, making it Immortal Ascension Cauldron brilliantly.
Countless Hundun Immortal Essence descended from the surrounding Chaos Sea and flew into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
One after another, the Immortal Divine Medicine, after being personally refined by the Emperor Venerable, manifested one after another extremely mysterious Great Dao Runes, which combined to form one after another primordial Dao Order Divine Chains. Those fragments of laws emitted the celestial sounds of the Dao within the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
This True Immortal Fire, with its countless mysterious Great Dao Runes runes, enveloped the entire Immortal Ascension Cauldron, and wisps of mysterious matter flew into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
Countless fragments of the Great Dao's rules melted within the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, transforming into Immortal Liquid that shone with nine colors and flowed slowly within Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
An amazing and exotic fragrance emanated from the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. Even without refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, the medicinal power of this fused Immortal Divine Medicine was already astonishing.
The Emperor Venerable, of course, would not stop there.
In his hand, a radiant light appeared, and clusters of Longevity Essence materialized.
No one knows where he obtained the essence of the Longevity Immortal Medicine.
It appears to have fallen from the Immortal Domain into this world, and it contains an incomparably pure aura of immortality.
The Emperor Venerable did not intend to use the Longevity Essence, but instead directly put it into the Longevity Essence Immortal Ascension Cauldron as one of the main ingredients of the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
The Emperor Venerable drew one mysterious Great Dao Runes after another, inscribing them into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, and began frantically refining the immortal pill.
Rumble.
Suddenly, a series of thunderclaps resounded in the sky, and terrifying lightning brewed in the Xukong.
The process of refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill actually triggered a heavenly tribulation.
Rumble.
The immense celestial tribulation exuded an aura of world-destroying destruction.
In a daze, it was somewhat similar to the heavenly tribulation that Xiao Ping'an encountered when he broke the Heavenly Heart Imprint and walked the myriad paths.
Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation appearing at this moment demonstrates just how mysterious and powerful this Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is.
A violent thunderclap resounded on the Cosmic Frontier, startling countless slumbering Dark Supreme.
One terrifying bolt of lightning after another was forcibly absorbed into the Emperor Venerable's body.
Countless terrifying bolts of lightning descended from the sky, threatening to destroy the entire universe.
These tribulations have only one target: the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill within the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
After being refined by the Emperor Venerable, countless bolts of lightning were poured into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and used as materials for refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
That terrifying heavenly tribulation was actually completely refined by the Emperor Venerable and injected into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
At this moment, the Immortal Ascension Cauldron was filled with a fragrant aroma and shone with intense light.
When the Emperor Venerable refined the last wisp of lightning and poured it into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, the lightning inside, along with the mysterious True Immortal Fire, resonated and energized.
They blended perfectly with the solution formed from various rare and precious materials.
A fragrant aroma emanated from the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, reaching people throughout the world.
Where the Immortal Ascension Cauldron stood, a dazzling rain of light fell, and countless golden lotuses of the Great Dao bloomed.
One after another, illusory figures of immortals flew out of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, as if they had entered a strange world.
Various Flying Immortal sights of immortals swirled around the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, only slowly dissipating after a long time.
The Emperor Venerable looked into the Immortal Ascension Cauldron and found a total of fifty Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
Each one is gleaming gold and exudes an alluring fragrance.
The number of Nine-Turn Immortal Pill refined far exceeded the Emperor Venerable's estimate.
The Emperor Venerable picked up one, and just by smelling it, he sensed the astonishing vitality within, as if it could give him a new Lifetime.
The Emperor Venerable was very satisfied, and he sealed the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill into one jade bottle after another.
Then they began to consider which Supreme should receive the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
On this day, Xiao Ping'an, who was comprehending the Great Dao in the Yellow Springs of the Underworld, suddenly received the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill personally delivered by Chuan Ying.
He solemnly expressed his gratitude to the Emperor Venerable.
He then began to study the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill in detail.
He didn't take it immediately, but instead wanted to examine it carefully to see if the Emperor Venerable Nine-Turn Immortal Pill tampered with it.
At the same time, we should also learn how to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
Although he had obtained the ancient pill formula from the Emperor Venerable, he had never actually refined it himself.
Now that we have the finished product, and it can be compared with the original prescription, the research becomes much easier.
After studying it for a while, he felt that the medicinal power of this Nine-Turn Immortal Pill was indeed amazing.
It could allow that Dark Supreme to have a peak period of two thousand years.
If an ordinary Supreme were to consume this, without having taken the Immortal Divine Medicine, they could be reborn into a new Lifetime.
However, if one has already taken the Immortal Divine Medicine, this substance can only allow Supreme to live for over ten thousand more years; it cannot grant them a new Lifetime.
Because if one has already lived two lifetimes, the lifespan of the third lifetime should, no matter how it is calculated, exceed 30,000 years. If it does not exceed this number, then it is impossible to live a third lifetime.
There seem to be some mysterious, unseen rules that restrict us.
Xiao Ping'an didn't know how many Nine-Turn Immortal Pill the Emperor Venerable had refined, but he did indeed have a large number of Dark Supreme to invite.
As for how the Emperor Venerable went from leading his Flying Immortal sect to immortality to sacrificing himself to the Dark Supreme, Xiao Ping'an still couldn't quite understand why the Emperor Venerable had undergone such an astonishing change, as if he had truly gone mad.
Later, when he became Mortal World Immortal, he even wanted to perform a grand sacrifice to the entire world, which was truly a bit too insane.
Just as Xiao Ping'an was studying the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, an incomparably terrifying aura suddenly erupted.
Xiao Ping'an's gaze immediately fell upon a Life Forbidden Zone.
There, the great Dao resounded with heavenly sounds, and the figure of a Dark Supreme being illuminated the heavens.
He was an unnamed ancient Supreme who, after consuming the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, recovered to his peak condition. That flawless state made him feel as if he had returned to his youthful days.
Even the Heavenly Heart Imprint sensed the aura of this nameless Supreme and resonated with it.
Not long after, terrifying bursts of energy erupted throughout the universe, and one Dark Supreme after another consumed the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill. The incomparably terrifying aura of the Great Dao intertwined layer upon layer, making the entire universe extremely frightening.
That was the perfect aura of the Supreme and Heavenly Venerable Venerables. They had both once merged with the Heavenly Heart Imprint, and now that they appeared together, the resulting suppression of the Great Dao was truly astonishing.
It took a long time for the suppression of the Great Dao to gradually subside.
Many Great Saint and Quasi-Emperor, after sensing that terrifying aura, found it difficult to calm down for a long time.
They knew that it was impossible to attain enlightenment in this era, so they could only seal it away and leave it for future generations.
Holy sites and noble families, or races, throughout the universe erupted in astonishing cheers.
They had already recognized it as the aura of their ancestor.
Millions of years have passed, and I never imagined that our ancestor was still alive.
Those Dark Supreme who were not invited by the Emperor Venerable and did not consume the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill were also awakened by this terrifying aura.
Upon hearing the news, they felt both envious and jealous.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Some even actively created clones to go to the Heavenly Court to see the Emperor Venerable and request elixirs.
No one expected that in this mythical era, a total of thirty-six Dark Supreme would suddenly appear.
Their energy and blood were as abundant as the sea; they were all at their peak.
" The Emperor Venerable is truly defying the heavens! He has created an incredible miracle!"
Many powerful figures were exchanging ideas, and they all felt that the Emperor Venerable had done something unprecedented and unparalleled, which was truly remarkable.
Xiao Ping'an sensed that different, perfect aura of Great Emperor, with the divine charm of the Great Dao flowing throughout the entire world, and couldn't help but marvel.
The appearance of so many top-tier experts in this world makes it feel like the world is made of paper.
It feels like if they were to fight each other, they could potentially shatter this world and force everything to restart.
On this day, Xiao Ping'an, who was in the Underworld, suddenly saw a divine light descend upon the Netherworld.
When the light faded, the people who had arrived were none other than the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Heavenly Venerate.
Clearly, both of them had also taken the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, and their auras had become unfathomable.
They are among the strongest Heavenly Venerable Venerables, and once they regain their peak strength, they should not be underestimated.
Even Xiao Ping'an felt a faint sense of threat.
It turned out that they had invited Xiao Ping'an to go to the Heavenly Court to find the Emperor Venerable.
It turned out that the Emperor Venerable had invited them to the Heavenly Court to assign them new tasks.
Xiao Ping'an also found it strange. Why did the Emperor Venerable summon them?
Xiao Ping'an thought for a moment. He hadn't seen the Emperor Venerable for a long time, nor had he been to the Heavenly Court. He decided to take a trip there and thank the Emperor Venerable in person for the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.
At this moment, the Heavenly Court floated and sank in the Hundun, with countless stars and pure lands swirling around Heavenly Court, like bright pearls adorning the starry sky.
Furthermore, countless celestial spirits, including True Dragon, White Tiger, vermilion Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, swirled around, guarding this Life Source Land.
A myriad of rays of light and a thousand streaks of auspicious color rose and swirled, creating a scene of utter wonder.
Countless powerful individuals have come to visit this place, and despite their strength, they all tacitly queue up.
No matter how strong or how high-ranking one is, before the Heavenly Court, they all have to stay put.
Xiao Ping'an was astonished to see that a vast and incomparably powerful golden sea of lightning had appeared in the Heavenly Court.
This golden sea of lightning swirled around the center of the Heavenly Court.
Although the golden sea of lightning no longer posed a threat to Xiao Ping'an, its magnificent momentum made it an incredibly terrifying ocean for those who had not yet attained enlightenment, making it difficult to cross.
When Xiao Ping'an, Longevity Heavenly Venerable, and Carefree Heavenly Venerate arrived, heavenly soldiers and generals immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Even Chuan Ying, the number one general in Heavenly Court, came to greet them personally.
He is the second most powerful person after the Emperor Venerable, and his status is even slightly higher than that of the Emperor Venerable's disciple, the Di Huang.
At this moment, he personally greeted Xiao Ping'an and the two Heavenly Venerable, which can be said to have given Xiao Ping'an a great deal of face.
At this moment, Xiao Ping'an looked at Chuan Ying, who was later known as the mighty and domineering Chuan Ying, and found it unbelievable that he was now guarding the gates of Heavenly Court like a security guard.
After thinking about it, he quickly understood that ordinary nobodys were not qualified to be greeted; only a powerful Heavenly Venerable like Xiao Ping'an was qualified to make him move.
"General Chuan Ying, please lead the way for us to see the Emperor Venerable."
"Three Heavenly Venerable, this way!"
A golden path appeared in the sea of thunder, Chuan Ying personally guided the three of them into the Hundun.
Xiao Ping'an carefully observed everything about the prosperous Heavenly Court, and thought that in the near future, all of this would be reduced to ashes, which was truly a pity.
He had practiced the Nine Secrets: Zu and the Source Heaven Great Dao, so he was very familiar with the formations here.
He could sense the birth of a spirit array, which was similar to Saint Spirit, except that it was artificially created.
The Saint Spirit, born and nurtured by nature, is similar yet different, and its potential for growth is much less.
At least so far, I haven't heard of any spirit array successfully attaining enlightenment.
Upon reaching the deepest part of the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Ping'an finally saw the Emperor Venerable again; it had been a long time since he had seen Emperor Venerable.
"My three fellow Daoists, how have you been?" the Emperor Venerable said with a smile. "It's been many years, and your auras have grown even stronger."
At this moment, the Emperor Venerable seemed to have forgotten what had happened on his Road to Immortality, and had forgotten that he had almost eaten the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Heavenly Venerate alive.
The Carefree Heavenly Venerate said, "This Nine-Turn Immortal Pill is truly miraculous. It reminds me of the feeling of vitality I had when I was Lifetime, the feeling of being brought back from the dead. It's truly incredible."
"Many thanks to the Emperor Venerable for gifting us the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, which has allowed us to enjoy our youth once again," said the Longevity Heavenly Venerable.
" The Emperor Venerable is indeed powerful, having perfectly reproduced the ancient pill formula. I admire you," Xiao Ping'an said.
Although Xiao Ping'an appeared very calm, his heart was in turmoil.
At this moment, Xiao Ping'an was surprised to find that the instant he saw the Emperor Venerable, he felt a vague sense of unease, and his primordial spirit trembled slightly.
He could sense that the aura of the Emperor Venerable before him had suddenly changed.
Although the Emperor Venerable tried his best to conceal it, Xiao Ping'an felt that the Emperor Venerable at this moment was no longer the Emperor Venerable of the past.
His body seemed to have undergone a strange change.
Xiao Ping'an was also taken aback.
In the original text, the Emperor Venerable was described as being insane. When did this strange change begin?
Although the Emperor Venerable's eyes remained clear, holy, and majestic, a hint of greed and malice occasionally flashed in them.
Yes, that's what Xiao Ping'an sensed by chance.
Xiao Ping'an began to suspect that the Emperor Venerable might have been possessed by an evil spirit from the Immortal Domain.
According to the original text, no strange creatures should have descended upon or invaded this world at this time.
There should be no Weird Substance or strange beings possessing the Emperor Venerable.
Xiao Ping'an even considered that it might be a so-called demonic master from the Immortal Domain, or a being without moral principles, similar to the Dark Supreme in this world, who possessed the Emperor Venerable.
He never imagined that the Emperor Venerable would be corrupted by a strange creature.
The Emperor Venerable's senses were still very sharp; he seemed to sense the shock in Xiao Ping'an's heart.
The same applies to the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Heavenly Venerate.
"What's wrong with you?" the Emperor Venerable asked. "Are you worried I'll eat you?"
Xiao Ping'an laughed and said, " Your Emperor Venerable, you're joking. If we were to really fight, do you think you have a chance of winning?"
Under the watchful eyes of the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Heavenly Venerate, the Emperor Venerable shook his head and said, " The Overlord Heavenly Venerable's strength is extraordinary; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority."
"What brings you here today with the Longevity Heavenly Venerable and the Carefree Heavenly Venerate?" the Emperor Venerable asked directly.
Xiao Ping'an shook his head. "I'm fine. I just felt that it had been many years since I'd been to the Heavenly Court and seen the Emperor Venerable, so I came to see you."
The Emperor Venerable laughed heartily and nodded, "The aura of the Underworld is indeed unsettling. Back then, I had Chuan Ying stationed there, but he refused to stay for more than a century."
"Judging from the Heavenly Venerable's appearance now, he seems to be thriving in the Underworld, thoroughly enjoying himself."
Xiao Ping'an nodded and hummed in agreement. He was indeed very satisfied with his current control over the Underworld.
The Emperor Venerable before him seemed normal, yet something felt off, which instinctively made Xiao Ping'an feel uneasy.
