I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

"This Sea Eye of the Ruins of Return should have opened long ago, but I don't know why it hasn't opened automatically," Gai Jiuyou said. "I've been waiting here for a long time, and I haven't forced it open because I'm afraid that forcing it open would ruin the brewing of the divine liquid, leading to failure after all this effort."

He often came here to check, but he didn't find any signs of the array patterns opening. However, according to what the Void Emperor left behind, it should have opened automatically years ago.

"Maybe it's broken. Wouldn't we know if we opened it and took a look?" Luo Mo was a man of action. Moreover, he now had luck on his side and believed that everything should be promoted by his own subjective efforts, and success would come naturally.

"How could the Void Emperor's array patterns be broken?" Gai Jiuyou didn't believe it. "You're still young and don't need things to repair your Dao wounds and increase your lifespan. Why don't you stay here with me to watch the sea and discuss the Dao?"

Luo Mo said, "I want to go in and take a look. The divine liquid here might have already been brewed."

"...Very well."

Gai Jiuyou was silent for a long time before finally making up his mind. "Perhaps your coming here is an opportunity. The things here are about to be born."

"I really don't know who taught you."

"I'm self-taught."

"Self-taught? Who created your Disaster Dao?"

Gai Jiuyou was very curious about this Dao technique. Although he was a Quasi-Emperor and had already embarked on his own path, such a Dao technique would definitely be of great benefit to his path. If he could obtain it, it would definitely make his Tribulation Transcendence Immortal Song even more powerful.

"You want to learn it?"

This was certain. The Great Disaster Art among the Three Thousand Great Daos was something he wouldn't trade for several Great Emperor scriptures if he could learn it.

"An honest man doesn't speak secret words. This old man does hope to obtain this Dao technique, but I don't know what the conditions are."

"You can't learn it; you can only comprehend it."

The Three Thousand Great Daos were based on the cultivation system of the Eternal Life Law, but could the Eternal Life Law appear in this world?

It definitely could, but there was a price to pay.

However, this price was not reflected in Luo Mo. He didn't have heavenly tribulations, so the tribulation of creating a technique was also very likely shielded by the True Spirit Mark. But for others, it might not be the case. If others learned the Eternal Life Law, they might have to go through a round of lightning punishment.

He still remembered when Shi Hao created the Heaven-Suppressing Law, the lightning punishment bombarded him in a destructive manner for several years before he finally succeeded in creating the technique. At that time, Shi Hao was already a Human Dao Supreme, and even he had a difficult time. If it were the half-crippled Gai Jiuyou in front of him, he would probably be directly reduced to ashes.

"It cannot be taught in words; it can only be understood intuitively."

Three miniature Disaster Black Lotuses bloomed in Luo Mo's hand. Nine lotus petals clustered together, representing the Three Disasters and Nine Calamities, condensed from vitality. Luo Mo gave it to Gai Jiuyou, just like when he demonstrated the mysteries of the Great Wither-Flourish Art to Jiang Taixu.

"So profound?"

Gai Jiuyou carefully put away the Black Lotus. Although there was no specific Dao technique, only this vitality-condensed object, it was still incomparably precious. For a Quasi-Emperor cultivator like him, he could see many things from it and deduce many principles of the Great Dao on his own.

"There are some restrictions," Luo Mo said, not lingering on this topic, but changing the subject. "I want to ask senior to do me a favor."

"Just say it," Gai Jiuyou said.

"I plan to go to Central Province in a while to explore a dangerous secret realm. I hope senior can come with me."

The places where immortal gold could be obtained relatively easily, apart from the Phoenix Blood Red Gold in the Fallen Sun Ridge, were only the ruins of the Yuhua God Dynasty in Central Province. Although the old site of the Yuhua God Dynasty wouldn't open so quickly, with him, who was good at array patterns, and a Quasi-Emperor traveling with him, there shouldn't be no way to open it in advance.

"Okay, I'll agree to this matter."

This was nothing to Gai Jiuyou. In this world, apart from the forbidden areas, there were few places he couldn't go.

As for Luo Mo, knowing the Saint Jiang Taixu and the Quasi-Emperor Gai Jiuyou meant that entering some dangerous areas was much safer. He had already been to the Holy Cliff with Jiang Taixu. Next time, he would take him to see the place where his ancestor, the Hengyu Emperor, refined weapons. And a Quasi-Emperor like Gai Jiuyou would naturally be left to wait for the Yuhua God Dynasty, so he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered the Emperor weapons of other forces.

"Now, let's go and open the Void Emperor's legacy. But let's make it clear first, if it's really a treasure for repairing Dao wounds and increasing lifespan, you might not be able to snatch it from me," Gai Jiuyou said with a smile.

"That depends on whether you can snatch it," Luo Mo muttered softly.

This was a Quasi-Emperor. Even a Saint holding an Emperor weapon couldn't beat him. What could a little cultivator in the Four Extremes realm use to snatch it? The Devouring Heaven Demonic Cover?

"If it's something else, then I won't be polite. You old folks probably wouldn't care about it."

"Show me the array diagram a few more times so I can see it clearly," Gai Jiuyou said.

So Luo Mo once again evolved the Void Divine Flower Array Pattern Diagram. The array diagram was constantly annihilated, and each time only one-tenth or one-twelfth of it was revealed, unable to exist completely in the world.

But this also allowed people to see the whole picture, especially a figure at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor like Gai Jiuyou. Although he was injured and his vitality was declining, his realm was still there.

After he had seen the array pattern diagram several times, he had a grasp of it in his heart. "I understand. Something must have gone wrong. The Void Emperor's arrangement didn't allow the things inside to be born... Alas, I'm afraid the divine liquid is ruined."

He had waited so many years for the divine liquid brewed by the Great Emperor inside, which could repair Dao wounds and replenish vitality. At his level of cultivation, his own precious blood was comparable to most precious medicines, and ordinary treasures were no longer effective for him. Only the divine objects left by the Great Emperor or the complete fruit of the Undying Divine Medicine were still effective.

After Gai Jiuyou saw Luo Mo's complete array pattern, he understood its function and then came to a pessimistic answer. He was afraid that something had gone wrong with the divine liquid, so the array pattern didn't allow it to be born.

"The Void Emperor was only experimenting and couldn't guarantee 100% success. He was afraid of trouble, so he set some restrictions in the array pattern. If something went wrong and this creation became a source of disaster, the source of disaster inside could be wiped out by the array pattern and wouldn't harm the world."

"The Void Emperor really thought things through."

The Holy Spirit Divine Liquid or something was very likely to cause problems.

"Let's go."

Gai Jiuyou let Luo Mo board the boat. This ordinary little wooden boat quietly moved forward and entered the great array.

The route it took was not the path that Luo Mo had deduced before, but another route, which was faster and directly penetrated the layers of array patterns. Luo Mo couldn't even see how Gai Jiuyou had cracked it.

For a cultivator of his level, he had already obtained the answer, so the cracking process was extremely fast.

The boat sailed into the most core position of the array patterns, surrounded and protected by a group of small islands. The seawater flowed here to form a whirlpool, and below was like an abyss.

The boat spiraled downwards with the whirlpool, moving steadily in the rapids, unable to feel the slightest ripple. They fell downwards for tens of thousands of meters, as if they were going to traverse the entire planet from the inside. After a long time, they finally reached the bottom.

It was dark here, with only the rumbling of water falling from above. After they fell along the water flow, they traveled a long distance before they saw a gleam of light.

It was a ghostly blue-purple divine flower, growing lonely on the water surface. Each petal had a hazy brilliance, as if it was carved from a piece of the world, with natural charm. It was rooted in the water, but it seemed to be drawing nutrients from the heavens, able to communicate with distant star fields.

A fragrance came, intoxicating, fragrant and rich, comparable to the Undying Divine Medicine.

"Void Divine Flower?"

"Fake."

Gai Jiuyou waved his sleeve, and a powerful divine force swept out, instantly clearing the surrounding darkness.

The divine flower withered instantly, the drifting fragrance turned into a stench, and the calm water surface turned into something like pus and blood.

"!"

It was actually an illusion. After all, it was impossible for Luo Mo to use the True Spirit Mark all the time. If it was really an illusion that could deceive him, it also meant that it could put him in danger.

Fortunately, he met Gai Jiuyou this time.

Gai Jiuyou pulled up the divine flower and found that it had already withered.

"It seems that we can't taste the Great Emperor's brewed wine."

He looked at this pool of pus and blood and threw an ordinary weapon of a Great Power into it.

Chi —

The Great Power weapon was corroded and penetrated in a few blinks of an eye, turning into dregs.

Gai Jiuyou said regretfully, "The brewing of the divine liquid went wrong and turned into a poisonous substance. It was sealed here by the array patterns. If it were released, hundreds of thousands of miles of sea would turn into a dead zone."

Afterward, he looked around and said, "But it's not a wasted trip. I learned the external array patterns from you, and I can use them to refine this place and obliterate everything. The Void Emperor refined the original Guixu Sea Eye here into a treasure, which has a suppressing effect. You can also consider this trip worthwhile."

Gai Jiuyou didn't get the Holy Spirit Divine Liquid he wanted, so he decisively took action, wielding the array patterns.

In an instant, the world shook, and more than a hundred small islands flew out of the sea. A blue-purple divine pot flew out, the small islands collapsed, and streaks of blazing marks were imprinted on the divine pot, forming a flower-like pattern.

Luo Mo and Gai Jiuyou flew out of the divine pot. The divine pot shrank and fell into Gai Jiuyou's hand. Below the sea, the islands and the sea eye disappeared. The sea surface only stirred for a while before returning to calm.

"It's a pity that the Holy Spirit Divine Liquid brewed by the Void Emperor failed."

Gai Jiuyou had originally hoped to extend his life with it, but he didn't expect the Void Emperor to fail. There was no Divine Liquid, only this divine pot and a pool of festering blood.

The divine pot fell into Gai Jiuyou's hand, and he circulated Dao fire, activating the Void Divine Flower array patterns. The divine pot began to boil with the festering blood from the failed refinement. Gai Jiuyou wanted to refine and obliterate it.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Luo Mo quickly stopped him, thinking that since it was a deadly poison, it would be very useful.

"This poison is useful to me, it's better not to waste it."

"You want this?"

Gai Jiuyou was a little surprised.

"That's right, deadly poison is also a good thing."

Anyway, Luo Mo accepted everything and needed everything.

"Then I'll give it to you, but you must be careful. This poison produced by the failed brewing of the Divine Liquid will kill anyone below a Saint who touches it."

Oh, that's just great.

"And this pot, although the material is not good, its function is profound. It was refined by the Void Emperor from this Guixu Sea Eye. When deployed, it can transform into a world and suppress those who enter it, like a forbidden weapon, but it is not convenient to move."

Gai Jiuyou handed the divine pot to Luo Mo. This kind of thing was useless to him. If it was an Extreme Emperor Weapon, he might be a little interested. After all, there was a real gap between the peak of a Quasi-Emperor and the Great Emperor realm. Moreover, he could not exert his peak strength now, so an Extreme Emperor Weapon would naturally be better.

"A Great Emperor's forbidden weapon."

Luo Mo felt that this might be the ultimate manifestation of his explosive luck. This Void Divine Pot was actually a forbidden weapon refined by the Void Emperor, used to refine a Holy Spirit. Its power was naturally strong.

Luo Mo put away the Void Divine Pot and would slowly study it later. Now he had some important things he wanted to ask Gai Jiuyou.

"Senior, what is your situation exactly? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Since you are a descendant of the Origin Heavenly Master, if you encounter a Earthly Fate Fruit in the future, keep it for me."

The Human Origin Fruit evolved further into the Earthly Fate Fruit, which could extend one's life by thousands of years, equivalent to a weakened version of the Undying Divine Medicine, like an immortal fruit grown from stone, a rare sight.

Jiang Taixu had been lucky before and obtained one, which he gave to Fairy Caiyun, allowing her lifespan to be comparable to his divine body, and the two grew old together.

"Although I have eaten one, eating another one will still have some effect. Stone fruits are different from precious medicines. Extending one's life by a few decades is also good," Gai Jiuyou sighed.

He had already taken an Earthly Fate Fruit, but precious medicines had drug resistance. After eating it once, the effect would be much weaker. Undying Divine Medicines could only extend one's life once. The second time one consumed the fruit of an Undying Divine Medicine, it would only have the other tempering effects of the fruit itself and could not extend one's life.

"Earthly Fate Fruit? I will pay attention to it, but the Road to Immortality will open in this life. According to the existing trajectory, the young prodigies of this generation will not be able to prove their Dao at that time. I wonder if Senior has a chance."

Gai Jiuyou glanced at Luo Mo, "You know quite a lot, but it's difficult. I'm already… there's no possibility."

"Nothing is absolute, I hope I can help Senior."

A miniature tree appeared in Luo Mo's palm, half lush and half withered, the two states coexisting.

This was the Great Cycle of Flourishing and Decay, transformed from Yuan Qi. Jiang Taixu had comprehended the Nirvana Transformation of Flourishing and Decay by observing this Three Thousand Great Dao.

At any rate, it was one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, it should have some effect. However, Gai Jiuyou's condition was very poor. He had failed to prove his Dao once, and had lived until now, his lifespan almost exhausted. It was really hard to say whether he could successfully undergo Nirvana.

Moreover, if he failed, it would be equivalent to losing a great helper during the Dark Turmoil, which would be shooting himself in the foot.

Gai Jiuyou looked at the withered and flourishing tree transformed from Yuan Qi and immediately entered a state of enlightenment, only waking up a month later, the small boat drifting who knows how far.

He rejoiced: "Indeed, the Great Dao is endless. I have been thinking about transformation and Nirvana, but I could not find a way. Now, watching this true meaning of Flourishing and Decay, I have gained a lot of insight, and the deduction of the Nirvana method has been successful. Perhaps I can truly undergo Nirvana and live another life."

He was very happy because he saw the 'Dao' from this withered and flourishing tree transformed from Yuan Qi.

Just a wisp of Yuan Qi, without a clear cultivation method, but containing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, endless mysteries, allowing him, a cultivator who had failed to prove his Dao, to gain a lot of insight, and many deductions in his heart had been successful. He was confident in undergoing Nirvana.

Gai Jiuyou looked at Luo Mo and said the same words as Jiang Taixu, "I owe you too much."

"It's good that I can help you. I hope that when the Road to Immortality opens, a Great Emperor of the Human Race can be born to protect the world."

If Gai Jiuyou wanted to prove his Dao, the best opportunity would of course be when the Road to Immortality opened for the first time. Everyone would be paying attention to the Road to Immortality, and he could start his Great Emperor Tribulation, stealing a march like the Golden Crow Great Emperor, catching everyone off guard.

It's just that the Golden Crow Great Emperor stole a march when the Road to Immortality opened for the second time, but changing it to the first time was not impossible.

If he could succeed, the pressure Gai Jiuyou would face would not be small, because after failing to attack the Road to Immortality twice in a row, the Supreme Beings in the forbidden areas would need blood food to replenish themselves. At that time, he would have to face a group of Supreme Beings in the forbidden areas alone, and not many people would be able to help him.

Anyway, it wouldn't be worse than before. In the original trajectory, the Dark Supreme Beings devoured many living beings and washed star after star with blood. Gai Jiuyou, Jiang Taixu, and many others died in battle. In this life, Luo Mo was preparing in advance, perhaps there wouldn't be so many sacrifices.

"Haha, then I'll take your kind words!"

After comprehending for a month, Gai Jiuyou's eyes were shining brightly, full of confidence. The Dao he comprehended from this withered and flourishing Yuan Qi was very profound, wielding Nirvana and life and death, seemingly effortlessly.

Afterward, Gai Jiuyou explained to Luo Mo the Immortal Song of Tribulation Transcension that he had created.

This was the essence of his life, his Dao and Dharma. Luo Mo passed on to him two Great Daos that could not be spoken or cultivated but were infinitely useful. He had nothing to repay, only this self-created Immortal Song of Tribulation Transcension and his own cultivation experience could repay him.

Being able to have such a Quasi-Emperor explain the Dao face-to-face was much better than obtaining the memory of a Quasi-Emperor's weapon spirit. After all, Gai Jiuyou was alive and could answer his questions.

After explaining the Immortal Song of Tribulation Transcension, Luo Mo also talked about the various secret techniques he knew, asking Gai Jiuyou to give him some pointers. In terms of the Heaven Covering method, perhaps only those Supreme Beings in the forbidden areas and the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Beginningless Great Emperor, and the Celestial Emperor, those who had embarked on the Road to Immortality, were better teachers than Gai Jiuyou. But it was unrealistic to have them as teachers. Therefore, Gai Jiuyou was the best teacher that could be found in the entire Heaven Covering world at present.

The small boat drifted on the sea for another three months, an old man and a young man discussing the Dao, like both teacher and friend.

Gai Jiuyou was experienced and could answer Luo Mo's questions.

But Luo Mo had a rich collection and could casually take out various Emperor Scriptures and secret techniques. Gai Jiuyou, as a person about to prove his Dao, had walked his own path, but was also very interested in the Ancient Scripture of the Divine Silkworm, asking Luo Mo to talk more about it, believing that the Dao of the Divine Silkworm race would help him in the path he was about to take.

The Divine Silkworm race had nine transformations, and nine transformations could prove the Dao. Each transformation was a complete change, becoming another divine beast.

The two discussed the Dao for three months and also drifted on the sea for three months. A piece of Luo Mo's jade shone several times, indicating that Yaoguang had something to ask him.

"If you have something to do, you can leave first. You can come here to find me," Gai Jiuyou gave Luo Mo an address.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Luo Mo took out a piece of Profound Jade Platform and teleported away.

After he left, Gai Jiuyou also got up from the small boat, taking a step, ten thousand rivers and mountains flew behind him. In a few steps, he came to a spiritual mountain cave dwelling.

"Master, you're back!" A figure greeted him.
