Chapter 99 Secret, The Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone Breaks Through Defenses

Which ordinary person who attains enlightenment doesn't use up all their lifespan in their first life before beginning their transformation into their second?

Because transformation is extremely difficult, and no one is confident that they can live to see another life, every transformation is taken very seriously.

Jiang Hao nodded: "Once you've accumulated enough experience, you can give it a try. The road of life is long, and starting early might allow you to see more of the scenery."

He didn't elaborate, but the calmness and confidence in his words deeply moved Lingbao Tianzun.

This is a person with absolute self-confidence.

This is Lingbao Tianzun's internal evaluation of Jiang Hao.

The two exchanged a smile, clearly appreciating each other's talents.

From their perspective, many things need no further explanation.

Jiang Hao recalled something and asked, "I heard that at the end of the mythical era, you single-handedly fought two otherworldly Celestial Venerables, slaying them, but you yourself suffered irreparable injuries and perished... I wonder where those two otherworldly Celestial Venerables came from? How were they different from those in our realm?"

This was a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

He was quite curious about other worlds.

When this matter was mentioned, an unprecedented solemnity flashed across Lingbao Tianzun's usually serene face.

"They... are very strange," he said slowly, as if recalling something.

"Their foundation in the Great Dao is completely different from that of the cultivators in our world. It feels like they are not a world formed after the Immortal Realm was shattered."

Because they don't have that sense of shared roots, as if they come from a completely different system, a system full of aggression and distortion.

Their core power possesses an corrosive and polluting quality, attempting to assimilate everything it comes into contact with, including the laws of the Dao.

Its soul essence is also unusually chaotic, seemingly mixed with endless negative emotions and destructive desires, unlike the harmonious Dao heart of a normal cultivator.

Even stranger, after their deaths, when their Dao principles collapsed, they would release a trace of extremely repulsive dark matter, an aura... seemingly capable of corroding the very foundation of all Dao principles.

As Jiang Hao listened, his expression gradually became serious.

Lingbao Tianzun's description instantly reminded him of the sense of devastation and heaviness he felt in the ruins of the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court.

"Erosion," "pollution," "dark matter"... these keywords instantly weighed heavily on his mind.

"Could it be... that's the enemy that destroyed the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court? They... never left, or have always been able to infiltrate?" Jiang Hao's heart surged with a huge wave, and his sense of urgency rose again.

This is an enemy I am completely unable to resist right now.

If the Heavenly Venerable Lingbao killed a Heavenly Venerable-level enemy back then, it means that the enemy had at least successfully extended its reach into this realm!

If they can come once, they can come a second time; perhaps... there are already more lurking in the shadows?

"What else do you know, fellow Daoist?" Lingbao Tianzun asked.

Jiang Hao nodded. He had no intention of hiding this from Lingbao Tianzun, because this was everyone's common enemy.

Then he said in a deep voice, "I once discovered a site that seems to be a ruin from the chaotic ancient era. It is also a scene of destruction. Combined with what you said, it is likely that our world faced some unimaginable extraterrestrial enemies in ancient times. What you killed back then may have been their minions."

Lingbao Tianzun remained silent for a moment, then let out a long breath:

"Indeed... I had my doubts back then, but the relics were hard to find and the clues were too few. Now, hearing what you say, I feel even more heavy-hearted. There are still great dangers beyond this world."

The two then exchanged many more words.

Jiang Hao mentioned the amazing Daoist Master, his unfinished exploration of the path to immortality, and his own transaction with the Daoist deity.

Lingbao Tianzun also shared some of his own cultivation insights, especially his idea of ​​creating the "Sentai Nirvana, True Spirit Returns" method by nurturing the secret life force of the array character in the end and finally relying on the ultimate research of the Sendai Secret Realm.

He has lived through many lifetimes, and this time he returned via Sendai. His understanding of the Sendai Secret Realm is unprecedented.

Jiang Hao shared his philosophy of sorting out the myriad paths and using chaos to encompass evolution, as well as some ideas on refining the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the world.

The two were at a high level of understanding, and although their paths to enlightenment differed, they were able to draw parallels and mutually reinforce each other's insights. As a result, they both felt they had benefited greatly, many of their cultivation obstacles became clear, and they saw the path ahead more clearly.

Finally, Lingbao Tianzun looked at his still somewhat illusory Dao body and said with a wry smile:

"Although my primordial spirit has been gathered upon my return, this physical body still needs to be tempered again with the essence of the Immortal Platform and the essence of the stars to achieve a perfect unity of spirit and flesh before it can be considered a true return to its peak. This process cannot be rushed and will probably require a considerable number of years of nurturing."

Jiang Hao nodded in understanding, then flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle containing some of the divine liquid taken from the immortal spring of the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Court, as well as a few strands of pure immortal medicine essence.

"This item may be helpful for your body tempering. Rest assured and recover. We will meet again at our peak and discuss the Dao over wine."

Lingbao Tianzun did not stand on ceremony and solemnly accepted the gift: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang. I will repay this kindness. Fellow Daoist's path ahead will surely lead to the highest immortal path. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best."

"Take care of yourself."

Until we meet again.

Jiang Hao cupped his hands in greeting, his figure slowly fading away as he left this small world of Sendai.

Just as he left the star field containing the corpse of Lingbao Tianzun and fully manifested his form in the starry sky.

His unique and vast imperial might swept outwards, engulfing all directions.

Since I can't catch anything by fishing anyway, I might as well not hide it.

"That's... the Chaos Emperor?"

"My God, he's still alive, and his aura... it feels even more terrifying than the legends!"

"I knew it! I knew the Emperor wouldn't die!"

Throughout the myriad realms, countless cultivators who sensed this familiar yet even more powerful pressure instantly erupted in excitement.

Some were overjoyed, some were horrified, and some were dumbfounded.

The Sun God Cult, the Taiyin God Cult, the Daoist Sect, and other forces closely related to Jiang Hao erupted in cheers and excitement.

Many of the older monks were moved to tears, their hearts finally at ease after a long period of anxiety.

Those forbidden zones were deathly silent, followed by a chorus of silent roars and curses.

"Damn it, just as I thought, that heartless brat, he really isn't dead!"

"A faked death! A complete faked death! All that talk about cultivation problems or backlash from Dao transformation was a fucking hoax!"

"He's just fishing, waiting for us old guys to finally give in and jump in!"

"Insidious, utterly insidious! A dignified emperor resorting to such despicable means, he's completely shameless!"

"Fortunately, fortunately I restrained myself; a single wrong thought could have led to utter destruction!"

"This killer star not only didn't die, he seems... even stronger! He's gotten stronger again, doesn't he have any bottlenecks? What the hell kind of monster is this?"

"Lingbao's commotion must have been his doing. I knew it! How could something like this happen for no reason? This Chaos is really too much of a troublemaker."

The Supreme Beings were filled with lingering fear. Amidst their cursing, they became even more determined to defend the forbidden zone and never show themselves.

With a guy like the Chaos Emperor, whose strength is ridiculously high and whose mind is incredibly dirty, they felt like they had the worst luck imaginable!

I'd rather die than leave until the path to immortality is opened!

In the starry sky, Jiang Hao naturally sensed the chaotic emotions in various parts of the universe and the subtle fluctuations coming from those forbidden zones. A slight smile appeared on his lips, unnoticed by anyone.

He gazed at the boundless starry sky and thought, "It's better for them to stay put, so I don't have to clean it up myself."
