Chapter 790 The Nine-Tailed Elixir of Immortality! Fragments of the Great Dao Rules!
Hundreds of miles away from the Zixia Mountains.
As the light faded, Duan De's figure was revealed. He stamped his feet in frustration and gritted his teeth, saying, "Just a little bit short... I hate it!"
After searching for a while, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, "So be it, it seems that treasure is not meant for me!"
At that moment, his expression changed slightly, and he turned and ran, cursing as he went:
"It's just digging up a grave, isn't it?"
"These old fogies from the Yao Guang Holy Land are like leeches, clinging to you like glue!"
…………
Zixia Mountain Range.
Standing on the platform halfway up the mountain, Chu Yang looked at the group of Yao Guang disciples led by Yao Xi and said calmly, "I took the opportunity at the top of the mountain and have borne a share of Yao Guang's karma."
"Helping you to kill Duan De can be considered as repaying this karmic debt."
Just then, a young man with flowing long hair, handsome features, but somewhat effeminate, suddenly spoke up: "Young Emperor Chu, I have a question for you to answer!"
Chu Yang glanced at him but didn't say anything.
The effeminate young man stared directly at him and asked, "Among the legacies of that Supreme Elder, is there any of my Yao Guang Secret Techniques?"
Chu Yang looked at him for the first time and asked calmly, "When did the Yao Guang Secret Technique become so worthless that even a casual Elder can learn it?"
"Don't even mention it, even if that Holy Light spell were right in front of me, I wouldn't be interested!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
The effeminate young man's face instantly turned extremely ugly, but he dared not chase after him to entangle him.
After all, he had personally witnessed how Chu Yang's single thought had summoned the might of the Great Emperor.
Among them, Yao Xi, the strongest, was only at the fourth level of the secret realm.
Let alone confronting the Emperor's power, they couldn't withstand even the Emperor's suppression.
After descending the mountain, Chu Yang continued his journey towards the desolate and forbidden land, following the original route.
In fact, after the effeminate young man asked that question, Chu Yang knew that the matter between him and the Yao Guang Holy Land was not over yet!
Once suspicion arises, the charge is already established.
For a sacred place like this, they don't need evidence; they just need to nip any potential threats in the bud.
The Yao Guang Holy Land possesses many secret techniques that can be considered closely guarded secrets, but the only one truly worth risking a falling out with a reincarnated emperor for is the Holy Light Technique!
This made Chu Yang feel a little regretful. If he had known, he would have used the Soul Binding and Commanding Techniques and the Dual-Hand Techniques to search the soul of that Supreme Elder first!
Although he does look down on Holy Light, it's not bad for the time being.
This is also the main event that I really didn't expect. I just randomly encountered the soul of a Supreme Elder, and he possessed the secret technique of Holy Light.
After all, even in the Holy Land of Yao Guang, only a very small number of people are qualified to learn Holy Light Magic.
Once the Yao Guang Holy Land has this suspicion, they will definitely come looking for trouble with him again.
Chu Yang didn't care. After all, if he wanted to perfect all the secret realms, he would definitely have to piece together the strongest techniques from each secret realm.
At that time, it will be inevitable that we will form grudges with some holy lands and ancient aristocratic families.
Chu Yang's mentality could be described as being so fed up with having too many lice that they don't feel itchy anymore, but it could also be described as...
So what if the whole world is our enemy?
For the rest of the journey, Chu Yang did not let anything else delay him, and headed straight for the desolate ancient forbidden land.
He wasn't afraid that Duan De would cause trouble again under his name. The battle at Zixia Mountain Range had already demonstrated his methods, which were quite different from those of other cultivators.
Whether it's the black divine flames or the dazzling stars, they will become the symbol of "Emperor Chu" for some time to come.
The cultivators from all sides are not fools. After what happened with Duan De, they will definitely think things through carefully before encountering similar situations in the future.
At least it won't be easy for Duan De to impersonate someone else again...
Changing one's appearance in a way that is undetectable is not difficult for him, but imitating it and finding the means to do so is a pipe dream.
On the road, they would occasionally continue to gather intelligence in some towns.
He has already learned about most of the recent events in the Southern Region.
The commotion at the Demon Emperor's tomb was immense, and this event officially ushered in a chaotic era.
All the major holy lands and ancient families were drawn in, and powerful demons emerged one after another.
However, less than three months have passed since Chu Yang left the Demon Emperor's Tomb.
Therefore, the matter has not yet fully escalated, and none of the parties have turned their attention to the Forbidden Zone of the Desolate Ancient Land.
Chu Yang wanted to take advantage of the time difference and visit the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land first, so as to avoid the major holy lands and ancient families stirring up trouble and causing unforeseen changes.
The ancient forbidden land has gradually recovered, and many powerful beasts have appeared around it. Even the strong in the holy land have to keep their tails between their legs here.
Therefore, Chu Yang was very careful along the way. Relying on the Feng Hou Qi Men technique, it took him two days to pass through the area inhabited by the strange beasts and reach the edge of the desolate ancient forbidden land.
Beside the boundary marker inscribed with the four large characters "Forbidden Land of the Ancient Wilderness," an inconspicuous stone suddenly moved and then transformed into the figure of Chu Yang.
"Tsk... With Feng Hou Qi Men by my side, I'm practically in my element in these dangerous places!"
Chu Yang muttered to himself, then shook his head and chuckled, "If Duan De knew about this method, he'd probably be envious to the point of madness..."
Putting his thoughts aside, he didn't hesitate and strode directly past the boundary marker into the desolate forbidden area.
At first glance, there was nothing unusual about the ground; on the contrary, the vegetation was lush and full of life.
However, the vegetation here is much "stronger" than outside, with each old tree as big as a small mountain.
But if you look closely, you'll find...
This vast, desolate forbidden land was eerily quiet; there were no insects chirping or beasts roaring, and not even an ant could be seen.
The deeper Chu Yang went, the more he could feel a force constantly acting on him.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, their life spring would probably have closed by now, and they would have lost all their divine power.
This is a curse-like method. If one cannot resist the curse, even the most powerful cultivator will become an ordinary person with only physical strength when they arrive here.
Even the Ancient Sacred Body will be slightly affected.
But Chu Yang showed no restraint. The black divine spring gushed out from the life spring, and the black sea of bitterness continued to surge and churn.
There are no experts above the Dao of Sacrifice in this world, so as long as there is a True Spirit in his body, even if the Ruthless Great Emperor himself came, he would not be able to suppress his cultivation.
Not only that, Chu Yang also ignored the curse that caused people to age.
As Chu Yang continued his journey, he encountered some strange things along the way.
For example, the skeleton that suddenly exploded in mid-air attempted to wash away his divine power with bone dust...
For example, a beautifully preserved herb might release pollen that can bewitch people's minds...
These things had no effect on Chu Yang.
Although he had never been to the desolate forbidden land, he could sense the changes in the "structure" through the Great Luo Cave Observation and the Feng Hou Qi Men.
Therefore, there was no deviation in direction, and it only took about an hour to travel nearly a hundred miles before the nine sacred mountains came into view in the distance.
These nine sacred mountains are not particularly tall, not even as high as the main peak of the Zixia Mountain Range, yet they possess a majestic aura that instills immense pressure in people.
Chu Yang arrived near the sacred mountain and looked at the abyss formed by the nine sacred mountains. His gaze swept over the endless skeletons, as if it could penetrate the darkness and reach the bottom of the abyss.
At that moment, the nine sacred mountains suddenly trembled, and endless skeletons fell down, revealing half of an ancient bronze coffin.
On the nine sacred mountains, the divine spring water suddenly reversed direction, and the nine streams converged, rushing towards Chu Yang.
Nine fruits of various shapes followed closely behind, eventually all hovering in front of Chu Yang.
Chu Yang paused, glanced at the abyss with a strange expression, and murmured as if to himself, "For me?"
There was no response, but the nine sacred mountains stopped trembling.
"I underestimated you..."
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled. Without any hesitation, he took out the Starry Sky, put all the spring water into it, and then soaked the divine medicine in the spring water.
The star he forged already possessed the power of a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru, making it perfectly usable as a storage magic treasure.
After glancing at the abyss once more, Chu Yang didn't linger and turned to leave.
He knew that the person who gave him the divine spring and the divine medicine was the Ruthless Great Emperor!
Chu Yang had not expected that even though he had sealed his true spirit, the Ruthless Great Emperor could still see through his scheme.
He truly deserves to be called the most brilliant and talented emperor in history!
If it weren't for the desire to see if Ye Fan, this "similar flower," could reflect the same flower soul, she would probably be quite close to becoming a mortal immortal by now...
Feeling somewhat impressed by the ruthless emperor's courage, Chu Yang didn't look back and continued out of the desolate ancient forbidden land.
Having obtained what he wanted, he naturally wouldn't bother him any further.
The fact that they offered the items was clearly a way of telling him to leave and that they didn't want to have much interaction with him.
However, it was the bronze coffin that almost made Chu Yang unable to resist prying open the lid.
He didn't want to steal anything; he just wanted to see what the "Harmony Flower," which could make someone instantly become an emperor, looked like.
After leaving the desolate forbidden land, Chu Yang randomly chose a mountain peak in the primeval mountains outside the forbidden land and opened a cave for seclusion.
Even if you take any one of the nine fruits at once, its effect is not as good as a divine medicine; it can only be called a holy medicine.
But if you take all of them, then it is the elixir of immortality!
If the elixir of immortality were taken out, it would be enough to unleash a bloodbath throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness.
But Chu Yang is now only thinking about refining it all so that he can break through to the Divine Bridge realm, or even the Other Shore realm.
If anyone knew about this, they would surely exclaim that it was a waste.
But for Chu Yang, even the most precious divine medicine was just a cultivation resource.
It is worth mentioning that the Nine-Miracle Elixir contains fragments of the Great Dao's rules.
For ordinary cultivators, these fragments of the Great Dao rules are of little use.
Only cultivators at or above their own secret realm can sense it, but even if they do sense it, it is difficult to glean even a fraction of its meaning.
The only purpose of this thing is to repair the wounds on the foundation of the Great Dao.
But in Chu Yang's hands, this fragment of the Great Dao Rules was no longer just a decoration!
As he consumed the fruits one by one, when he took the fifth one, a divine vein extended from Chu Yang's Sea of Bitterness, spreading towards the other side of the vast Sea of Bitterness.
This also means that he has officially entered the Divine Bridge Realm!
All nine fruits were refined, and the divine bridge stretched for an unknown distance, yet it still hadn't reached the other shore.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
These nine fruits together are equivalent to a complete elixir of immortality!
Although the main function of the elixir of immortality is not to improve cultivation, its effects on cultivators in the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm are still terrifying.
Taking out a white jade gourd he had looted from Duan De, Chu Yang poured some of the sacred mountain spring water into it, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp, muttering to himself, "The road ahead is long and arduous..."
This seclusion lasted for more than four months. During this time, Chu Yang not only made a breakthrough in his cultivation, but also gained some insights from the nine fragments of the Great Dao Rules.
Above the Sea of Bitterness, forty-two newly formed divine runes stretched out, each rune inscribed with a mysterious symbol.
It resembles characters, or patterns, and is full of the aura of the Great Dao.
He combined the insights gained from the nine fragments of the Great Dao Rules and, after some piecing together, finally produced a "Great Dao Rune".
Then, Chu Yang used the God-Slaying Sword to inscribe the Great Dao runes onto the divine patterns.
Looking inward into the sea of suffering, Chu Yang pondered for a moment before releasing his true spiritual power. With unparalleled soul will, he fused the divine runes into the stars.
During this period, he attempted to combine the Divine Craftsmanship with the weapon-refining methods recorded in Taoist scriptures.
The methods of weapon forging in the Taoist scriptures are only for cultivators in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm to forge their own "weapons".
In fact, the weapon-refining methods in the entire world of Shrouding the Heavens are quite simple and straightforward. The powerful pay more attention to the "Dao" rather than strange and ingenious techniques.
The most important thing is to be able to weave together the principles and reason, and even to align with the Great Dao.
Although the Divine Craftsmanship has no such high limit, the combination of the two can still produce amazing effects.
The initial fusion process went smoothly, but when Chu Yang tried to fuse with the fourth divine rune, the brilliant star could not withstand the pressure and shattered!
If it weren't for the presence of a true spirit in Chu Yang's Sea of Bitterness, even if this happened to the Ancient Sacred Body, he would have died on the spot.
Chu Yang not only emerged unharmed, but also, with his unparalleled soul will, managed to reassemble the star fragments into primordial divine runes.
After doing all this, he didn't rush to reshape the stars, but instead frowned and pondered.
Logically speaking, since the Brilliant Stars are his "weapon," the upper limit of the Great Dao runes he can withstand should also be closely related to him.
Is it because he sealed his true spirit that the upper limit has been lowered, and he needs to wait for his cultivation level to improve?
If that's the case, wouldn't that be a bit too much of a "late bloomer"?
This is only one Dao rune inscribed. If there are more gains in the future, wouldn't it be necessary to wait until one becomes an unparalleled being and the world within one's body is fully formed?
There are only three ways to solve this problem...
It either has the primordial energy of all things, immortal gold or divine iron, or it relies on the favorable timing and location of a place like the Fire Domain.
However, these two things are inevitably connected. Without the materials, there's no one who's ever heard of using divine fire to refine primordial divine runes...
Therefore, the only feasible solution right now is to start with the weapon-forging method!
Although it was supplemented with the techniques of the Divine Hundred Refinements, it still seemed somewhat simple and crude.
Having sorted out his thoughts, Chu Yang began to ponder them carefully, sitting in his cave like an old monk.
This sitting lasts for a month.
Above the Bitter Sea.
Seventy-eight divine runes shone brightly. To possess so many divine runes at the Divine Bridge Realm was truly unique for Chu Yang.
That's why he dared to construct his inner world.
The God-Slaying Sword Formation trembled slightly, releasing its true spiritual power, and the soul wills of the five horses surged.
The divine runes intertwined, each step perfectly executed, just like gears arranged and combined.
Chu Yang's eyes shone brightly, and stars gradually took shape above the Sea of Bitterness! (End of Chapter)
