Chapter 539 Secret Scripture
"Oh? So it really is the Great Dao of Time... Your Time-Transformation Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the darlings of time, actually managing to rewind even one of my attacks by a single breath!"
Fang Qing sighed, even carefully sensing the chaotic Daoist rhythm of time around him. Time is usually imperceptible, so this was an extremely rare opportunity.
"impossible……"
On the other side, the Mahayana cultivator of the Shituo Clan was pale, with a faint trace of bright purple, like blood, flowing from the corner of his mouth...
With its innate talent and comprehension of the Great Dao of Time, it can completely repel the attacks of the Mahayana divine beasts back to three breaths ago!
But when facing the 'Lord of Jinluan Mountain', he could only retreat a breath!
Furthermore, the other party still retains memories of going back in time!
Furthermore, the backlash they suffered far exceeded expectations, which can only mean one thing!
"Your status...your essence...is no longer Mahayana!"
The Shi Tui Clan's Mahayana cultivator let out a strange cry and suddenly transformed into dozens of dark, tattered cloaked figures, fleeing into the vast void in all directions!
In an instant, dozens of past bodies were pulled out and scattered to escape; this was the Time-Transformation Clan's secret technique for survival!
If any one of these past incarnations manages to escape, regardless of which one it is, they will grow into the 'present' true self!
Splash!
A light drizzle fell from all sides, the raindrops carrying a sense of clarity and turbidity, as if polluting the entire sea into an inkwell.
Within this "Ink Pool," several "Past Incarnations" who had escaped using water-based magical artifacts instantly turned into pitch-black ink...
In the vast void, figures were pierced by the raindrops, wailing as they fell into death.
In the blink of an eye, ninety percent of the dozens of past bodies of the Transcendent Clan's Mahayana cultivators were dead!
"Waterway Avenue? You... are not the Lord of Jinluan Mountain!"
The remaining eight Mahayana cultivators of the Time Transformation Clan spoke simultaneously, followed by six more past incarnations being submerged in water...
Only the last two remained, a ruthless glint in their eyes: "Why was I able to obtain the most resources and achieve the Great Ascension realm within our clan? Because our clan's sacred object chose me... it chose my future... I will be able to become an immortal!"
The Great Ascension of the Shi Tui Clan roared, his face changing from a boy to a young man, then to an old man with white hair at his temples.
At the same time, the aura emanating from both of his bodies surged wildly.
Fang Qing's palm strike landed, only managing to annihilate one of them.
The last remaining past incarnation has grown from the past to the present and is now connected to the 'future'!
Splash!
As if a mirror had shattered, a large purple hand reached out from the 'future'.
This large hand was entirely blackish-purple, its surface covered with countless dense silver lines, like branding marks, or countless seal script characters, engraving praise and eulogy to the passage of time...
The pressure from this palm has surpassed the Mahayana stage and reached the level of a Golden Core True Monarch!
even!
The void trembled slightly, as the entire 'Great Path of Time' was activated, suppressing Fang Qing from all sides!
Splash!
The divine elixir's image crumbled instantly, leaving only the astonished Lord of Jinluan Mountain behind.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but it was slapped shut by that large purple hand!
After completing all this, the purple hand also vanished instantly, as if it had been subjected to a backlash from spacetime, leaving not a trace of itself in this spacetime.
"Cough cough... Haha... In the end, I still won."
Within the purple halo, the Great Ascension alien from the Time-Transformation Clan slowly emerged, emanating a strange Daoist aura. A sense of spatial and temporal distortion constantly lingered around him, occasionally causing him to be inexplicably and severely injured, leading to increasingly worse injuries.
It was only at the Mahayana stage after all, and had not yet fully comprehended the great Dao of time.
Moreover, even if one comprehends the complete Great Dao of Time and borrows the power of immortals from their strongest future self, the price and backlash will still be heavy.
It might even create a "spacetime paradox," preventing it from ever reaching the realm of immortals!
But in any case, being able to defeat a powerful enemy is always something to be happy about...
Just as the Shi Tui Clan was preparing to sort through their spoils, a faint voice suddenly rang out: "Who made you think... you really won?"
It suddenly looked up and saw the fine rain suddenly condense, transforming into a pair of narrow, azure eyes, seemingly watching it with a smile...
"Illusion?!"
It was, after all, a Mahayana cultivator, and finally realized what was happening, but it was too late...
As if time were flowing backward, its every move was rewinding, rewinding... all the way back to the moment when the Divine Pill Dharma Image emerged from the void, and the island where it was hiding exploded...
……
reality.
Since Fang Qing already knew that he was facing a Grand Ascension cultivator of the Time Transformation Clan, how could he possibly give the other party the opportunity to fully exert himself?
Therefore, as soon as it appeared from the void, it immediately triggered the blessing of the [Ji Shui] metal position, and the illusory image of water in the 'Water Reflection' was pushed to its limit, landing on the Mahayana of the Shi Tui Clan without end.
Then... it fell into an eternal illusion.
As for escaping using his past self and using the immortal power of his future self to kill the Lord of Jinluan Mountain with one blow... it was just an illusion that his primordial spirit was trapped in!
Tick tock!Tick tock!
Two lines of tears streamed down the face of this Mahayana alien, whose features changed from youth to middle age to old age, before finally settling on middle age.
Its aura completely dissipated, and its massive body vanished without a trace in an instant.
It didn't turn into dust, but rather, both the physical body and the primordial spirit seemed to have suffered a backlash from time and space, completely disappearing.
Only a purple crystal remained in place, along with a round bead.
"A crystal core from a Transcendent Clan member at the Mahayana stage... Even at the highest human auctions, such a supreme divine object would be impossible to find!"
Fang Qing sighed and took the two items in his hands.
The Time-Transformation Clan's crystal core emitted a faint purple light, and its interior was covered with twisted patterns resembling countless earthworms or eyeless snakes...
Just one glance is enough to confuse the consciousness of a high-level cultivator.
Fang Qing even faintly sensed a trace of the Dao of Time...
"The alien race at the Mahayana stage must have reached an extremely profound level of understanding of the Great Dao of Time, perhaps even just one step away from fully comprehending it and becoming a true immortal... It's just a pity that such a small difference makes all the difference!"
"Even so, this crystal core is still extremely useful for comprehending the Great Dao of Time... It won't cause any problems until my comprehension progress catches up with the current Great Ascension stage of the Transcendent Clan..."
Fang Qing's figure flashed, and he instantly traversed the void, disappearing without a trace.
Moments later, countless black feathers fell like raindrops, completely obscuring the surrounding sea.
The figure of the Celestial Elder appeared, beside him stood a colossal statue seemingly cast entirely of gold and iron: "Kuwo... has fallen!"
"Impossible... Kuwo is a member of the 'Time-Transformation Clan,' and in terms of survival skills, it ranks among the top ten of Mahayana cultivators. Who could kill it? Who would dare to kill it?"
Xiao Yuanwang found it hard to believe.
"Of course they are immortals. Below the level of true immortals, all are mere ants... This is no joke."
The Celestial Elder sneered, "If the immortals of yesteryear had possessed even a shred of mercy and compassion, the Spirit Realm would not be in such a shattered state as it is today... Back when the True Immortal Realm still existed, with our talents, we would probably have already passed the tribulation to become immortals and achieved true immortality..."
"hiss……"
King Xiaoyuan was taken aback: "After that Water Virtue True Immortal killed Ancestor Minggu, he really didn't leave and is still wandering around this area?"
"Indeed, it's well worth the price to exchange the life of a Mahayana cultivator for this information."
The Celestial Elder's eyes held a cold glint: "Next, let's see if those esteemed individuals intend... to slay an immortal!"
……
Sansheng Pass.
The Lord of Jinluan Mountain swaggered back into the pass and then went to the cave area where the Huanyu Sect was located to cause a ruckus, seemingly venting his grief over the death of his beloved disciple.
In reality, some of the gains were quietly handed over to Fang Qing's true form.
Inside the cave.
Fang Qing put down the 'Time-Transformation Clan Crystal Core' and picked up another jade book.
This jade book is cast entirely from celestial jade, and it is covered with golden seal script characters, which is the common format of celestial books—jade book with golden seal script!
It was obtained by the Lord of Jinluan Mountain from that bright pearl, which was also the storage bag of the Shitui Clan.
Although both were Mahayana cultivators, this alien Mahayana cultivator's wealth was far less than that of the Bone-Inscribed Ancestor, seemingly because he could retrieve items from the past at any time to deceive people... Therefore, he carried almost no valuables.
The remaining physical items clearly have extraordinary value, and it may even be difficult to distinguish between the past and the present, with only 'uniqueness'!
"The Immortal Scripture!"
Almost at first glance, the inexplicable aura it exuded convinced Fang Qing: "This is a celestial scripture passed down from a celestial palace! A cultivation method for immortals!"
This discovery made him feel quite excited.
After all, even the worst true immortal in this world is still at the Golden Core True Monarch level!
After absorbing the Golden Elixir of the Qi Cultivation Path, one simply accumulates the Golden Nature and modifies the imagery... then piles up the Golden Positions, and once all four Golden Positions are gathered, the Golden Elixir is complete, and one can prove [the Age of Birth]!
This is a path that appears simple and straightforward, but is actually fraught with thorns. A slight misstep could lead to the same fate as the ancient Taiyi Ancestor...
But the Realm of True Immortals is different!
After immortals, there are still methods of cultivation!
"Unfortunately, it's not written in the script of the Great Dao, but rather in 'Immortal Seal Script'..."
Fang Qing stroked the golden seal characters and began to try to decipher them using his knowledge of immortal seal script he had gained over the past few days.
"Fortunately... this immortal scripture should have originated from the Mountain and Sea Immortal Palace! And most of the methods I've learned for deciphering immortal script are also specifically designed for this Immortal Palace..."
"If it were something that had fallen from another celestial palace, we'd be completely lost..."
His current comprehension and cultivation level are almost comparable to those of a true immortal. Following the clues, the beginning of this jade book and golden seal script was slowly deciphered:
"Tai Xuan... True Scripture... Elixir of Immortality... Secret Scripture?"
"As expected... it's a cultivation method used by descendants of immortals!"
Fang Qing's eyes lit up.
Once an immortal has attained perfect enlightenment, how can they continue their cultivation if they do not seek a higher status?
If one could obtain it, it would likely be of great benefit in the future for weaving imagery and verifying the gold position!
