"Die!"
The Immortal Ascension Diagram and the Great Dao Treasure Bottle were both suppressed at the same time.
Zhou Xuan unleashed two palm strikes, which also suppressed the attack without hesitation.
The absolute difference in combat power, coupled with the fact that the Feathered Emperor's Son and Tiger-Headed Taoist were already intimidated, meant that Zhou Xuan's palm strikes were almost unimpeded, instantly killing the Feathered Emperor's Son and Tiger-Headed Taoist.
"brush!!"
While suppressing and killing the two, Zhou Xuan, having eliminated them completely, raised his hand and made a move.
The remains of the Feathered Emperor's Son and the Tiger-Headed Daoist, along with the two Supreme Sacred Weapons, the Supreme Emperor's Seal, and the Myriad Origin Cauldron, were summoned by Zhou Xuan and landed in his palm.
"From this day forward, all wars shall cease above the ancient stars of the Big Dipper and above the sages."
"Disobey, and you shall die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan stood up and stepped down.
In the next instant, Zhou Xuan reappeared on Dragon Head Peak and sat down cross-legged.
Looking up at Zhou Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on Mount Jiujiulong.
Within the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, who had sealed himself within the Immortal Source, slowly closed his chaotic eyes.
Clearly, if Zhou Xuan had attacked Huo Qier while simultaneously annihilating the Feathered Emperor's Son and the Tiger-Headed Daoist, even if the Qilin Ancient Emperor was not in good condition, he would have broken the seal and fought Zhou Xuan until the heavens collapsed.
"He kept his promise."
"Now I can adjust myself with peace of mind."
"The moment I swallowed the elixir of immortality and was reborn, the horn of a Qilin that fell off, stained with my imperial blood essence!"
"I originally wanted to leave a way out for future generations, but who would have thought that in the end, I would still use the blood essence in the Qilin horn."
At this point, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, who had fallen back into a state of suspended animation after being in a semi-recovered state, and whose peak imperial destiny had been consumed in the least amount of time, showed a hint of emotion in his eyes, which were now closed into a slit.
Following closely behind were the fragments of the Great Dao belonging to Huo Qi'er, which were wrapped around the Qilin Staff and within her bloodline, as well as the Imperial Blood Essence, which was only the size of a peanut but filled with endless upgrades.
Like swallows returning to their nests, they traversed space and teleported to the platform of the ancient Qilin emperor.
The nearly shattered Sendai, riddled with cracks, was nourished by the Imperial Blood Essence from Huo Qier's fragments of the Great Dao and her own flawless state.
Under the suppression of the Qilin Staff, an ancient imperial weapon that accompanied him through the ultimate tribulation and underwent the ultimate transformation, the once trembling platform, which seemed about to collapse at any moment, gradually stabilized.
The fine cracks visible to the naked eye gradually healed under the nourishment of the Imperial Blood Essence and fragments of the Great Dao.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, your peak imperial destiny has been extended once again."
At the same time, a supreme divine thought, pitch black yet infused with intense crimson, surged forth:
"If you, fellow Daoist, could, like me, devour all your direct bloodlines and fuse them all into your body, you would surely be able to extend your peak imperial destiny to..."
"Shut up!"
Before the pitch-black, scarlet divine thought could be fully expressed, the Qilin Ancient Emperor, whose state was stable, suddenly opened his eyes and angrily rebuked:
“I am different from you. My only desire in this life is to ascend to the path of immortality with my family!”
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Fellow Daoist, you are exactly like me!"
"Back then, I, like you, longed to ascend the path to immortality together with my descendants."
"However, as time passes and years turn, as your lifespan diminishes and you can only watch your death approach, you will also unleash a dark upheaval. If the Essence of Myriad Spirits' Blood proves ineffective..."
At this point, the dark, scarlet divine thought emitted a chilling, bone-piercing wave, like ancient, icy ice:
"At that time, fellow Daoist will probably only complain that you didn't have enough children back then!"
"Fellow Daoist, you will surely end up like me, devouring the blood essence of all spirits and feeding on your descendants..."
Chapter 40 The Immortal Lotus Medicine is the Transformation of a Celestial King
"boom!"
These words, once spoken, pierced through the void and entered the Qilin Ancient Emperor's brow altar. The Qilin Staff then shot through the air without harming the self-sealed immortal source.
Suddenly appearing, the eternal blue light burst forth with immortal brilliance, and the Great Dao Divine Chains intertwined, unleashing a deadly technique, violently attacking that supreme divine thought.
In an instant, that supreme divine thought was completely obliterated.
"Perhaps, as you say, I might do so when faced with a desperate situation."
The Qilin Divine Staff, while obliterating the supreme divine will, also caused the ancient Qilin emperor's divine will, with its eyes seemingly opening and closing, to resonate and surge:
"However, before I reached such a desperate situation, before I devoured the blood essence of all spirits and ate the flesh and blood of my descendants."
"You'd better not communicate with me, otherwise, I fear I might lose my temper and break the seal, fighting you until the heavens collapse!"
"Hahahaha!"
As the ancient Qilin emperor's divine sense surged forth, the supreme being of the forbidden zone, whose supreme divine sense had been obliterated by the Qilin staff, once again unleashed a wisp of supreme divine sense, letting out a wicked and arrogant laugh:
"The Ancient Emperor Qilin is right; I was too hasty."
"I am waiting for you, waiting for your lifespan to end, waiting for you to stir up dark chaos and devour the flesh and blood of your offspring!"
……
……
Leaving aside the clash of ideologies between the Primordial Ancient Mine Qilin Ancient Emperor and the Dark Supreme,
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan, having eliminated any future troubles, ruthlessly annihilated the Feathered Emperor's Son and the Tiger-Headed Daoist at both the physical and spiritual levels.
Along with his corpse and the supreme holy weapon, they were all brought to Zhou Xuan's side.
After issuing a decree to cease hostilities to all living beings on the ancient star of the Big Dipper.
He then used his magic to move the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain, which was suspended above the Central Continent, back to the Eastern Wilderness Continent, where he sat in direct confrontation and monitored the seven forbidden zones of life in the Eastern Wilderness.
Since the time when the human race's Fuxi changed his title from emperor to king, ending the ancient era of the title of "Ancient Emperor" and ushering in the primordial era of the title of "Great Emperor," the era has continued to this day.
Those who attain enlightenment and become emperors in this era, regardless of whether they are human or not, will more or less monitor the anomalies in the forbidden zones. Human beings who attain enlightenment, such as Amitabha Buddha and Empress Nuwa, even moved their Daoist temples to the ancient life star of the Big Dipper after attaining enlightenment, and sat there to monitor the anomalies in the forbidden zones.
Having long been accustomed to being monitored by the current emperor, the forbidden zone, which had proclaimed itself the supreme ruler, adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Zhou Xuan's surveillance.
Some supreme beings in forbidden zones are even quite willing to be monitored by Zhou Xuan.
After all, for a supreme being in a forbidden zone, with their physical body and primordial spirit sealed by immortal sources and nourished by the longevity substances of the forbidden zone, their peak imperial lifespan would be infinitely extended every second.
On the other hand, Zhou Xuan was consuming his true lifespan every second, a lifespan that even someone standing at the pinnacle of humanity would find extremely difficult to recover.
With this shift in power, the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone believed that even if Zhou Xuan possessed the elixir of immortality, he could outlive him until his lifespan was nearing its end.
When Zhou Xuan grows old and his lifespan is about to end, he will no longer be the same as before. The supreme beings of the forbidden zones will emerge one after another, swallowing up Zhou Xuan and the human world that he has protected for more than 10,000 years, which has flourished to the extreme. They will nourish their cracked immortal platform and restore their peak imperial destiny that is on the verge of exhaustion!
"Is this the Immortal Lotus Elixir?"
Having read through the Stone Emperor's memories, Zhou Xuan naturally knew what the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone was thinking. He clearly understood that the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone wanted to wear him down by extending his lifespan indefinitely.
However, with the system, as long as one conceals their flawless Emperor-level combat power, they can continuously receive rewards over time.
At this moment, thanks to the Second Emperor-level "Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique" rewarded by the system, and the lifelong insights of the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor,
He had raised his own combat power to a level just one step away from reaching the level of a Second Emperor.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Xuan believes that time is on his side and he will be able to raise his combat power to the level of a thirteenth-level Heavenly Emperor according to the system's classification in a little over a thousand years. Therefore, he does not care about the schemes of the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone.
Therefore, even though Zhou Xuan sensed the terrifying fluctuations originating from the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone within the Primordial Ancient Mine, he did not pay any attention to them. Instead, he took out the immortal divine medicine—the Azure Lotus—that was rooted in the broken fragments of the Myriad Things Origin Cauldron.
The roots have forty-nine, subtly corresponding to the number forty-nine in celestial evolution; the height is approximately three feet six and a half inches, subtly corresponding to the number of the three hundred and sixty-five stars in the celestial sphere; the flowers have twenty-four petals, subtly corresponding to the twenty-four heavens...
Even though it was not yet fully ripe, it still had a wonderfully fragrant aroma that was refreshing and invigorating, giving Zhou Xuan a sense of extraordinary spirituality, almost like a living thing.
Whether it's the two ancient emperors of the human race, Taiyin and Taiyang, who created the mother scriptures of the human race, Taiyin and Taiyang, or the Stone Emperor who proved the Dao of the ancient emperor with a flawless holy spirit body, or the Nanling Heavenly Emperor who achieved the thirteenth level of Heavenly Emperor power after the little girl's transformation.
They had all been studying the path to immortality and had carefully observed it. It seemed to have existed eternally since the birth of the universe. As long as it was swallowed, even the supreme beings who stood at the pinnacle of humanity could be reborn and obtain another lifetime of peak imperial destiny. It was an immortal elixir.
Having gained the expertise of four supreme beings, including the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling, in researching these eternally existing, immortal beings—equivalent to supreme weapons—Zhou Xuan developed an extraordinary curiosity about the elixir of immortality.
Now that Zhou Xuan had obtained the Undying Green Lotus Medicine rooted in the fragment of the Origin Cauldron of All Things, he was naturally focused on examining it carefully.
"The Yin-Yang Divine Eyes open! The Prison-Suppressing Treasure Eyes open! The Holy Spirit Heavenly Eyes open! The Myriad Transformations Immortal Eyes open..."
Zhou Xuan unleashed all the various eye techniques he had acquired by cultivating the ultimate Daoist scriptures to their limit.
In an instant, layers upon layers of Dao runes and boundless pupil technique patterns emerged from Zhou Xuan's eyes.
The Heavenly Eye Techniques recorded in the forbidden chapters of the ultimate manual, which focuses on Yin and Yang, life and death, basic particles, being favored by Heaven, and analyzing all things, are all used in an instant.
The flower has twenty-four grades, but it is still twelve grades away from becoming a complete medicine, the Immortal Green Lotus Medicine. Every root, every lotus leaf, every lotus stem, and every petal appeared in Zhou Xuan's eyes with exquisite detail.
Compare the physical characteristics and immortal essence of the immortal divine medicines recorded in the ultimate Daoist classics, such as the Immortal Divine Tree, Immortal Peaches, Longevity Divine Medicine, Immortal True Dragon Medicine, and Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine.
Zhou Xuan never found anything that surpassed the discovery of the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor.
Until Zhou Xuan, whose methods of cultivation and the intent of his techniques were not of this great universe or of this era, opened the Prison-Suppressing Treasure Eye, which was forged from the Second Emperor level of the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Force.
In Zhou Xuan's eyes, all things in the world, from their original forms, reveal the instant when they are composed of endless particles forming a harmonious whole.
Finally, the form of the Immortal Lotus Medicine changed in Zhou Xuan's vision.
At first, the immortal green lotus with twenty-four petals appeared as a particle in Zhou Xuan's eyes, just like all things in the world.
However, the infinite particles that make up the Immortal Lotus Medicine continue to be micronized and infinitely decomposed on top of the original particles.
Finally, Zhou Xuan noticed the difference.
After infinite decomposition, Zhou Xuan glimpsed immortality within the most core Azure Lotus particle.
Time may pass, but it remains undiminished; heaven and earth may crumble, but it remains immortal.
Furthermore, unlike the immortal light that can be seen in the particles after the infinite decomposition of the Immortal Artifact-level Origin Cauldron of All Things, which is immortal and indestructible in most environments, this is different.
The immortality that Zhou Xuan glimpsed from the infinite particles of the Immortal Lotus Medicine was truly indestructible and eternally immortal.
If we were to draw an analogy based on combat strength, if the immortal light within the Myriad Origin Cauldron is at the tenth-level Quasi-Emperor realm, then the immortality contained within the Undying Green Lotus Medicine would be at the thirteenth-level Heavenly Emperor realm, or even the fourteenth-level Mortal Immortal realm.
They're completely incomparable!
However, unlike the Immortal Cauldron, which, even though the deity within the vessel is nearly eternally silent, still possesses an immortal and indestructible radiance within its countless particles that remains active and capable of unleashing terrifying power sufficient to kill even the supreme beings of forbidden zones when activated, this is different.
The immortality contained within the countless particles of the Undying Green Lotus is as if it has suffered an unspeakable ultimate calamity, even though its essence far surpasses that of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron.
