Living a Second Life Through the Dao of Life! Entering a Forbidden Zone to Seek Divine Medicine! A Thief Never Leaves Empty-Handed
"The Great Dao of Life truly holds endless mysteries."
Deep within the Immortal Court.
Immortal mist swirled, brimming with the vitality of life.
In this environment, the medicinal potency of the extraordinary medicinal plants surged, their medicinal ages constantly increasing.
They already showed faint signs of growing into Semi-Divine Medicine.
Dao resonance flowed around Lu Qingyun. The Great Dao of Life made him seem one with heaven and earth, nourishing the spirits of all things.
Vast life essence churned within his Sea of Bitterness.
It continually opened gates of divine power that he had never uncovered throughout his cultivation, deepening his already immensely profound foundation even further!
Beyond that, it also added considerably to his lifespan.
"Over ten thousand years have passed since I attained the Dao."
"It's time... to begin my second life."
"Beginning my second life through the Great Dao of Life might allow the starting lifespan of every life I live from now on to reach an astonishing level."
Lu Qingyun's gaze was calm and composed, as though he were discussing something utterly ordinary.
Living a second life.
For any living being, this was something they scarcely even needed to consider.
It was simply impossible!
Throughout the ages, so many ancient Great Emperors, the greatest figures of their lifetimes, had failed to accomplish it.
One could well imagine how difficult it was.
Yet for Lu Qingyun, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
It was simply because...
His foundation was far too profound.
He had attained the Dao with a Chaos Body, supported by True Immortal scriptures, and cultivated divine abilities at the level of the Ten Fiends.
Beyond that, he also possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension.
And on top of everything else, he had the Meteoric Tear, a supreme treasure containing the two Great Daos of life and soul!
Taking this step...
Was only natural!
Immortal mist gradually rose, and divine light glittered.
At that moment, the supreme Dao formation throughout the Immortal Court activated on its own, shutting out all prying eyes and all malice.
A world-shaking transformation... began.
The Feng Clan.
Withered yellow leaves drifted down on the wind.
In a rocking chair, a man who looked extremely young, yet gave an impression of extraordinary age and steadiness, sat with his eyes closed, seemingly just waiting quietly for time to pass.
A fallen leaf settled on his shoulder, as though wishing to be buried and wither alongside him.
Ye Mingyuan opened his eyes and calmly looked at that fallen leaf.
After a while, he sighed softly.
"Fine. I'll make... one last attempt."
As his words fell.
He slowly rose and looked in a certain direction.
There... lay Chaotic God Mountain.
Back then, the two Supremes who had unleashed the Dark Turmoil had emerged from there.
Afterward, Heavenly Venerable Taiyi had also emerged from there, before ultimately being sealed within the Immortal Court again.
Chaotic God Mountain.
Among the nine forbidden lands, it was actually nothing special.
Yet to the living beings of the vast universe, it was one of the forbidden zones they feared most!
Because... it held the greatest number of Supremes!
"With so many Supremes..."
"There ought to be some Divine Medicine of Immortality, right?"
Ye Mingyuan's eyes were deep.
He took a step forward. This time, no golden path accompanied him.
Yet his body's instincts still made him shatter space, crossing the ends of the world in a single stride!
After several steps, he stood outside Chaotic God Mountain.
Although he displayed no supernatural phenomena, and his figure was exceptionally frail, making his presence seem almost negligible.
That presence unique to a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.
Still alerted certain taboo existences within Chaotic God Mountain!
A Qilin that looked as though it had been fashioned from gleaming purple crystal stood within Chaotic God Mountain, staring at him with cold eyes.
This was a Holy Spirit that had already reached the Quasi-Emperor level.
Although its true body was not Immortal Metal, its combat prowess was still terrifying enough to shock the world, making it an extremely powerful being within Chaotic God Mountain.
"Human Sacred Body, leave."
"Or... die!"
As that single word fell, an exceedingly terrifying Quasi-Emperor pressure erupted from its body!
Carrying an innate intent of extreme slaughter, it descended upon Ye Mingyuan!
In its eyes, Ye Mingyuan's cultivation had already been crippled.
So what if his Sacred Body had reached great accomplishment?
In the end, he was merely a Ninth Heaven Quasi-Emperor!
In terms of cultivation realm alone, it was not yet his equal.
But when it came to origins, it did not believe that a dignified, heaven-born Holy Spirit like itself could be inferior to some so-called Sacred Body!
Not to mention that it now held the advantage of still possessing its cultivation.
The disturbance within Chaotic God Mountain.
Also alerted many factions to Ye Mingyuan's actions, leaving them all on tenterhooks for him.
"Wasn't Sacred Body Ye crippled? How does he still dare to go to Chaotic God Mountain alone? What is he trying to do?"
"Divine medicine... it must be Divine Medicine of Immortality! He refuses to sink into ruin like this and wants to use Divine Medicine of Immortality to defy heaven and change his fate!"
"That's true... Divine Medicine of Immortality has always been scarce. By now, traces of it can probably only be found in those forbidden zones... but in Sacred Body Ye's current state, isn't going into a forbidden zone alone to seek medicine courting death?"
"Everyone, Sacred Body Ye protected us for thousands of years! Today, he is in trouble. We ought to lend him a hand!"
Some grew visibly agitated.
They even summoned their own Emperor Weapons, wanting to storm Chaotic God Mountain and lend Ye Mingyuan a hand!
Unfortunately.
After awakening, the first thing the Emperor Weapon did was beat that person until his head was covered in lumps, sending him scurrying everywhere with his arms over his head!
This was perfectly normal.
After all, even when the masters of most Emperor Weapons were alive, they had not dared to speak of storming Chaotic God Mountain outright.
What right did mere Emperor Weapon deities like them have?
That would be no different from destroying their own legacies!
Naturally, they would not agree.
And in truth, Ye Mingyuan... needed no help at all.
He lowered his head and looked down upon that Qilin-shaped, heaven-born Holy Spirit.
A trace of puzzlement flashed through his eyes.
He truly could not understand why a Quasi-Emperor-level Holy Spirit dared provoke him like this.
Although his cultivation had indeed been crippled.
What made a Sacred Body powerful...
Largely lay in its physical body alone!
Ye Mingyuan did not dwell on it. His palm descended!
Bang-!!
The golden palm crashed down like a towering, massive primordial divine mountain!
In an instant, the horrified Qilin-shaped Holy Spirit was slapped into a mist of blood, dying on the spot!
It had not the slightest power to resist!
Heaven-born Holy Spirit, Quasi-Emperor realm...
Without stepping into the supreme Dao domain, one could never know what sort of existence an invincible being was!
Just like those Supremes who had severed themselves with a single slash.
Even though they were now equivalent to Ninth Heaven Quasi-Emperors, ordinarily, a peak Quasi-Emperor was nothing more than a particularly tasty morsel to them.
"Ridiculous..."
Ye Mingyuan muttered, then strode straight into Chaotic God Mountain!
For a moment, all the living beings within Chaotic God Mountain fled in panic.
Not one of them retained the Qilin-shaped Holy Spirit's confidence.
Ye Mingyuan paid no attention to these beings, who were utterly weak in his eyes.
After all, his purpose... was to find Divine Medicine of Immortality.
And so, he swaggered around Chaotic God Mountain.
He very much gave the impression of a madman unafraid of death.
Whoever provoked him, he would cut them down.
Precisely because of this, many icy gazes settled upon him.
Yet not a single Supreme dared make a move.
For the Supremes, every last wisp of life essence was extraordinarily precious. Emerging lightly was simply wasting their own lives.
Besides, even a starved camel was bigger than a horse.
With Ye Mingyuan's physical body, which had once nearly trampled the myriad Daos to truly become an Emperor, he could certainly force a Supreme into ultimate sublimation in a desperate fight.
He could be considered a very tough bone to gnaw.
Moreover, even if they really managed to gnaw through this bone.
Above the starry sky, there was still a reigning Great Emperor watching like a tiger eyeing its prey!
Needless to say, the Black Emperor would never tolerate them dividing up and devouring the physical body of a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body like Ye Mingyuan.
So even if they killed him, they could not eat him.
Fighting would also waste their lives. The best approach was simply to ignore him...
As for Divine Medicine of Immortality?
Hah-if they really had such a thing.
Would you ever get a turn to pick it?
Did you really think Supremes like them, holed up within Chaotic God Mountain, were merely decorations?
After searching around and finding not the slightest trace of Divine Medicine of Immortality, Ye Mingyuan felt somewhat vexed.
He sensed the mockery in those icy gazes.
Immediately...
His eyes turned vicious!
"Up!!!!"
He bellowed.
And forcibly broke off an exceptionally wondrous peak within Chaotic God Mountain.
Numerous spirit medicines grew upon it, and there were no small number of rare and exotic beasts.
Most importantly, this peak held an exceedingly dense concentration of Dao laws unique to the Chaotic God Mountain forbidden zone!
After Ye Mingyuan broke it off.
He shouldered it and ran toward the Feng Clan without looking back.
This sight left the Supremes within Chaotic God Mountain speechless...
They understood that a thief never left empty-handed.
But what the hell did you mean by carrying off an entire mountain peak!?
