Chapter 540 Ancestor
Sansheng Pass.
Fang Qing put down the jade book and golden seal script in his hand, a look of fatigue appearing on his face.
"The *Tai Xuan Zhen Zhuan Huan Dan Mi Jing* truly lives up to its reputation as a celestial cultivation method; every word is a gem, and its analysis is quite challenging..."
Even with his talent and comprehension, he could only barely decipher a small part of this secret scripture at this moment. Its contents were all-encompassing, but they were indeed all from the realm of immortals.
It involves cultivation techniques, secret arts, some experiences, and even secret recipes for elixirs!
"In this world, Mahayana cultivators who wish to become immortals need to first comprehend a complete Great Dao, and then their souls will undergo a transformation, becoming 'immortal souls'... From then on, they can mobilize the power of the Great Dao and transcend ordinary cultivators."
"After that, one attempts to take charge of a Dao, that is, to master a complete Dao—this is the path of the 'Dao Master'."
"But there are other methods of cultivation besides this, such as beginning to comprehend other Great Daos, condensing one 'Great Dao Seal' after another... and then, weaving one's own 'Dao'... This is the path of the 'Dharma Master'..."
"There is no difference in rank between the Dao Lord and the Dharma Lord; both are great paths that can be cultivated... And those who achieve profound attainment within them are revered as 'Immortal Lords,' possessing the authority to establish an Immortal Palace..."
Fang Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of longing:
"Ordinary immortals are Golden Core True Monarchs... but what kind of power do Immortal Monarchs possess? Are they Principal Celestial Immortals? Or late-stage Golden Core Immortals? Or even—[Those on Duty]?"
Just then, he suddenly heard a series of rapid bell tolls.
The melodious sound of the bell pierced through the formation and echoed throughout the cave.
"The Great Achievement Bell tolls..."
He knew this was an urgent summons from the Three Saints Pass, and that any cultivator who heard of it must immediately leave the pass, no matter what happened.
He immediately left the cave, riding a streak of silvery light, and arrived at the highest point of the three sacred mountains.
At the top of the Three Saints Pass, the mountain peak seemed to have been flattened by a powerful cultivator with supreme magic, revealing a huge open space.
On the open ground stood a palace.
Countless cultivators arrived from all directions, their various colored beams of light landing on the plaza.
When Fang Qing saw that Fairy Yu Xin and the other cultivators from the Huanyu Sect were all together, he immediately went to that corner as well.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle..."
Several Nascent Soul cultivators gathered around, their faces filled with worry: "The Great Completion Bell is ringing; what kind of unexpected event has occurred?"
"I don't know either, let's just wait and see."
Fang Qing remained calm and composed.
After a short while, five streams of profound magical power surged forth, revealing Qin Yuzi, Granny Zeng, Monk Jingkun, Fairy Luoyun, and the five elders of the Three Saints Pass, the Lord of Jinluan Mountain.
At this moment, a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, holding a roster, swept his divine sense across the entire area.
Even the silver-armored generals, who were also at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, could only snort coldly and dared not resist.
"I hereby inform the five elders... The cultivators of the Three Saints Pass have been counted. Excluding those in seclusion or those who have gone out... all have arrived."
After completing the mental survey, the cultivator immediately bowed, his clear voice carrying far and wide.
"it is good."
Qin Yuzi, dressed as a fisherman, stepped forward, his aura of profound power sweeping across the entire area: "You should all know... the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is about to open. Historically, the time before the opening of the secret realm is also the most frenzied moment for the alien races. From today onwards, the Three Saints Pass will cancel the leave of absence, and everyone will be on full alert... the great formation will be activated at full power, and the number of daily patrols will be tripled... to prevent any unforeseen circumstances! We five elders will also remain here and will not go into seclusion..."
"Yes, sir!"
The voices of the cultivators were incredibly loud, seemingly capable of shattering even the clouds in the sky.
Fang Qing's gaze shifted, and he saw the confusion and fear that Fairy Yu Xin and the others could not hide in their eyes.
Clearly, for these low- to mid-level cultivators, a more brutal inter-clan war often means a higher mortality rate!
……
Inside the cave.
Fang Qing was still refining pills.
The five big shots of Sansheng Pass announced war preparations. For him, the only impact was that the number of pills he needed to refine increased significantly.
Oh, and the Lord of Jinluan Mountain also reported that the human race's higher-ups have begun arranging the "Mountain and Sea Tokens," and if nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to secure a spot within the Nine Laws Sect...
Splash!
As the clear spring flows, Ganoderma lucidum plants emerge from the water, each leaf supporting a pearl-like elixir.
Fang Qing lay on the soft chair, barely glancing at the movements over the medicine pool, instead focusing all his energy on the "Tai Xuan Zhen Zhuan Huan Dan Mi Jing" in his hands!
"The True Seal is the seal of the Great Dao! The Elixir of Rejuvenation... is the Nine Revolutions, three revolutions and nine transformations, using the Great Dao as a furnace to refine an elixir?"
He seemed to be deep in thought, as if he had gained some profound insight.
After all, the three thousand great paths lead to the same destination.
Fang Qing, after reviewing the method of condensing the "Great Dao Seal" on the path of the Dharma Lord, felt that it was quite useful for stabilizing his own cultivation after achieving the Golden Core stage.
Simply put... by studying this immortal book, he can delay his cultivation deviation for a longer period after forcibly breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm in the future...
Furthermore, if one could fully comprehend the contents of this jade book and golden seal script, it would be highly possible to maintain the golden positions of different lineages and forcibly achieve the perfect Golden Core realm without self-destruction.
"This is... the most important cultivation after the Golden Core stage!"
Fang Qing's eyes brightened slightly.
If one can maintain the Golden Core at its peak, one can then look forward to the path of "Talent Duty".
His planned path for "duty of the year" already includes two paths: water and fire.
At this moment, obtaining the "Tai Xuan Zhen Zhuan Huan Dan Mi Jing" gave him a glimpse of the possibility of opening up another unorthodox path: the "Yearly Duty"!
"The Great Sun, in charge of the year, dared to plan the interplay of Yin, Yang, Water, and Fire to achieve the status of 'Yearly Steward'... Clearly, this is a prelude to breaking through to a level beyond 'Yearly Steward' in the future..."
"But for me, there are even stronger paths, such as time, space, yin, yang... using Taiyin to counter time, and the Great Sun to counter the void? Or time, space, water, and fire? Whether the final [Yearly Deity] will explode is unknown, but when the Golden Core is perfected, it will definitely be more terrifying than the 'Great Sun Tathagata' or the Great Sun [Yearly Deity] when the Golden Core is perfected!"
"If we reveal it suddenly at the right time, it will surely yield unexpected and wonderful results!"
Fang Qing took out the 'Time-Transformation Clan Crystal Core' and began to silently comprehend the Great Dao of Time.
Although he knew nothing about the Dao of Time, with this crystal core in hand, he could indeed sense the fluctuations of time that spanned the vast void...
……
Somewhere on the continent of mountains and seas.
A powerful, ancient beast, seemingly at the level of the Cave Profound Realm, roared as it charged into a massive canyon.
But the moment you step into the canyon, everything freezes, as if it has been transformed into a sculpture.
Within the canyon, all sorts of wild beasts and even powerful alien races remained motionless, as if they had become a wax figure maze, all of them lifelike.
At that moment, a 'Winged Race' statue suddenly moved.
It seemed to come alive from its eternally frozen state, spreading its wings and its eyes turning silvery-white: "Kuwo has fallen... I have lost its presence in the many streams of time..."
Beside the winged creature was another member of the Bone Pattern Clan, who also opened his eyes, the patterns on his bones lighting up one by one: "The Great Ascension has fallen... It was previously assigned to pursue that True Immortal, so it seems it really is an Immortal... Without the rank of an Immortal, it is absolutely impossible to kill it... I also cannot see the tributary that led it to become an Immortal in the future..."
In the eyes of the Time-Transforming Clan, the future is constantly changing; the vast river of time can generate millions of different directions in an instant, and countless tributaries...
Kuwo is a genius of the Shituo Clan. Although there are countless possibilities for the future, under their influence, he will eventually follow the path of "becoming a true immortal".
But at this moment... that tributary has dried up, and the future of Kuwo becoming an immortal has completely collapsed!
This signifies certain death!
"Gentlemen... it's time. I think... we can awaken the progenitor."
Suddenly, a majestic beast spoke. Its head resembled that of a rhinoceros, with three sharp horns, each bearing indescribable fine lines.
"The progenitor... he is the last remaining essence of our Time-Transformation Clan. He exists in the past, yet he has eternally frozen his own time... Each awakening and each move he makes... brings him closer to annihilation..."
The winged tribesman who spoke at the beginning looked hesitant.
These Time-Transformation Clan members like to travel through time in their true form, and sometimes they even get lost in the depths of time, so they need an anchor point in the mortal world!
By occupying the bodies of these powerful alien races, they become their 'anchor points'!
"Everyone... the 'Mountain and Sea Token' in my hand is roaring, I'm afraid the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is about to open... this is another chance for our clan to obtain a celestial artifact."
Just then, a huge green snake opened its mouth.
It coiled around a giant mountain, its size even larger than the Great Vehicle Wild Beast from before: "Our ancestor's awakening this time is not only for the revenge of Kuwo, but also for the immortal artifact and the traces of immortals... I think it's acceptable."
"I propose a resolution; let's begin the vote..."
"It's the Bone Pattern Saint Clan speaking," said the speaker.
At this moment, from the depths of time, countless thoughts projected forth, reviving upon the various statues, and spoke: "Agreed!"
"be opposed to!"
"Agreed!"
……
These Shituo tribesmen did not discuss the matter from beginning to end, but they had "seen" everything from the past, so the vote proceeded quickly.
Before long, the alien being spoke: "Most approved! We are about to awaken our progenitor..."
……
at the same time.
On a continent some distance from the human race.
In the Fallen Immortal Valley, the most forbidden place on the Wind Howling Continent, where countless immortals have perished and who are known as the most terrifying place for Mahayana cultivators.
Countless mists shrouded the area, blurring the lines between time and space, making it easy for even Mahayana cultivators to lose their way...
As far as the eye could see, there was a devastated battlefield.
Countless corpses of humans and demonic beasts with extremely powerful auras lay scattered about, and occasionally fragments of immortal artifacts could even be seen.
Deep underground, golden chains bound a massive, pitch-black coffin.
The flickering light illuminated the various celestial palace murals on the four walls...
At that moment, the giant coffin suddenly opened a crack, and a deep, ethereal voice emanated from it: "Mountain and Sea Immortal Palace..."
